“The divine expresses itself in the digital terrain through the vast global computer networks that are now beginning to display rudimentary self-organizing properties. If we can allow ourselves to understand the deeper, sacred mechanisms of cyberspace we can begin to experience it as a medium for grace.” Jennifer Cobbs, Cybergrace

The mantras are very tiny syllables, but they carry power inside them. That is why they are known in Sanskrit as 'seed words' or Bijas. Bija means a seed. The seed carries the whole tree.
Everything that is needed for the tree is contained with the seed. Similarly, everything that is required for your life is contained within the mantra.
Meditation for Avatars is an artistic experiment based on an online community network whose participants (computers) process Mantras and send them through the Internet. The members of Meditation for Avatars donate processor time for a common purpose — they meditate to raise our level of consciousness.
Meditation for Avatars was created in order to introduce positive spiritual energy into cyberspace by natural means – by connecting up as members of a community the elements of this realm (the networked computers).

“It is too easy to say things like, ‘Computers can’t do (xxx), because they have no feelings, or thoughts’. But here’s a way to turn such sayings into foolishness. Change them to read like this. ‘Computers can’t do (xxx), because all they can do is execute incredibly intricate processes, perhaps millions at a time’. Now, such objections seem less convincing – yet all we did was face one simple, complicated fact: we really don’t yet know what the limits of computers are.” Marvin Minsky, WHY PEOPLE THINK COMPUTERS CAN‘T, AI Magazine, Fall 1982
