Dear Gloria, in
http://www.heavenletters.org/computer-interaction.html
last paragraph:
"So, your computer crashed. The computer, I repeat, is not your connection to the world. It is a graphic display of your connection. It is loud and clear, and yet the computer is not your lifeline to the world. It is a mechanical object that brings the spiritual into the physical. First there is the spiritual. The spiritual comes first. Without the spiritual, the computer is nothing. Without the spiritual, nothing is anything. The spiritual cannot crash. The spiritual is everything. And all is well."
In this particular context, does "it is loud and clear, and yet…" means that despite the unanimity the computer brings, it is not our lifeline to the world, or do we have to take it literally as "loud and clear"?
Thanks
