And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the IMAGE of the beast should be killed. Revelation 13:15
Eikon (S1504G) and it's English translation Image appear 10 times in Revelation.
Eikonβ properly, "mirror-like representation," referring to what is very close in resemblance (like a "high-definition" projection, as defined by the context). A likeness i.e. (lit.) a profile (fig.) a representation.
Image then exactly reflects its source (what it directly corresponds to). For example, Christ is the very image (supreme expression) of the Godhead.
Eikon assumes a prototype, of which it not merely resembles, but from which it is drawn it is more than a shadow rather it is a replication
Now with this fresh and mind let's move on to some practical application.
Imagine if you devoted as much time and effort to improving your real life as you do to crafting a digital image.
By dedicating all your time to internet culture, you immerse yourself in psyops and personas that are exclusive to the digital realm.
Conjuring your online identity involves surrendering a part of your self to inhabit a fabricated universe conceived by your own imagination.
Being excessively immersed in the digital world hinders self-awareness in real life. Your online life needs to serve your real life, not the other way around. Strive for a harmonious equilibrium.
