Spirituality as a Mode of Being in the Internet Age

This article explores the Internet as a spiritual mode of being, particularly through an Indonesian Pentecostal lens. It seeks to answer the question: Can humans exist as being-in-the-Internet? The thesis of this article is that the Internet is accessed by humans not only through its physical and rational aspects, but also through its spiritual dimension. Thus, humans exist spiritually through the Internet, and this spirituality enables humans to be more authentic on the Internet. To support this thesis, this study engages Martin Heidegger’s notion of Dasein and Amos Yong’s pneumatology to propose that spiritual awareness allows users to be authentic digital beings. It finds that spirituality, as a relational and integrative dimension of human nature, can guide individuals toward authenticity in the Internet age. The reflection offers theological insights for Indonesian Pentecostal practice and contributes to wider conversations on digital ethics and identity
