Webbeing: to lead the soul through the Web


From the first days of life and uninterruptedly, until the end, this partnership of soul and development continues. Body (doing) and soul (being) are co-operating as indivisible parts of one whole. The soul is like a motor, dragging with it all the potentialities which it can discover in the body, helping to bring the body into a position of safety and dominance over all difficulties. In every movement of the body, in every expression and symptom, we can see the impression of the soul's purpose. A person moves- there is meaning (being) in his/her movement (doing).
The term Webbeing coined by Nir Golan means to realize one's full potential and fulfill it- to do the being on the Web. It is a core term according to the Digital Age. Webbeing is a combination between Self-realization in reality and self-actualization through the screen. In Goldstein's view, it is the organism's master motive, the only real motive: "The tendency to actualize itself as fully as possible is the basic drive... the drive of self-actualization." to actualize itself as fully as possible through the screen is really challenging. The only way to "actualize itself" is by using the passion that you have to do what you do best through the virtual world, and spread your uniqueness all around through the Web.
Webbeing is a combination of Web and being.

Golan assumes that Education is all about helping the soul to Webbeing itself. Education is that process, by which thought is opened out of the soul and Webbeing is to express and activate all the passion, capabilities and uniqueness of the organism on the Web.
Webbeing is about educating the soul through the Web. “Education is that process, by which thought is opened out of the soul and, associated with outward things on the Web, is reflected back upon itself through the screen, and thus made conscious of its reality and shape. It is Self-Digital-Realization. As a means, therefore, of educating the soul out of itself, and mirroring forth its ideas through the screen, the virtual world offers the materials."/ Paraphrase based on Amos Bronson Alcott. Bronson was an American teacher, writer, philosopher, and reformer. As an educator, Alcott hoped to perfect the human spirit.

Students are living in challenging times these days because the wo­rld around them is rapidly digital evolving and transforming. They need many more teachers who will guide them through the "Digital maze" of change into a world of tomorrow that is better than today. The heart of this change is the term Webbeing. Plato believed that the human soul possesses latent knowledge, which could be brought out and elucidated by a specific type of discourse which he called dialectic: a bringing to birth from the depths of a person's higher being. The Webbeing process starts with self-awareness to the being on the screen. A higher consciousness is needed in order to do this, and the result will bring forth a literal enlightenment and a furthered understanding of human nature.
"Dialectic is the only philosophical process which seeks for wisdom by anagogically uplifting our Intellectual foundations so that our Higher Self ascends to the Origin."
— Plato, The Commonwealth VII, 533d
