What you are experiencing (in the Beginning) right now is what McLuhan (God created the Heaven and the earth.) talks about when he says that electric circuitry (The earth was unformed and void) is an extension of the (and darkness was upon the) central nervous system (face of the deep). We get and are capable (and the spirit of God hovered over) of receiving (the face of the waters) a great deal of (and God said) information, (“Let there be light”) much of which is dealt with (and there was light) unconsciously. "All media are extensions of some human faculty."
