Can’t Get Into Second Life? No Problem! Try This Solution!

karna005

You’re looking — from quite a long distance — at the Temple of Karnak in the GODD gaming engine. I’ve got about 100 hours into it so far, and it’s far from done, but on the other hand, it’s well on its way to Ready for Prime Time. Notice that I didn’t say “prim” this time. That’s because in GODD, all things are possible; in short, we don’t have to count no prims. I guess I might as well take a snapper closeup of the Great Palace at Karnak… here ’tis:

There’s plenty of room for a processional, and you have your choice of over 100 different Egyptian characters from ordinary slaves, freemen and laborers to high aristocracy and dozens of male, female and unspecified gender gods and goddesses of the ancient sort. As a matter of fact, some of them are guarding the Palace. Living Gods as statuary? Yeh. We ancient guys do it all the time. Marble and bronze? That’s strictly for amateurs.

Here’s a Medieval Village that’s going in just down the road… actually, up the river:

This orb will handle many many avatars all at once. You’ll be able to try it real soon. Oh, one more item — FAXL band members dedicated our show yesterday to Pete Seeger, apparently at about the time he passed. He’ll be at the StarLite Lounge and the OtherSider Cafe in the ashram, I’m told by those in the know. See ya there, Pete!

Folks who can’t get into Second Life quite often find that the GODD engine runs just fine in their old, crappy computer or underpowered laptop. Can’t guarantee it, the whole thing’s a total crapshoot until the computer industry grows up, but try it, maybe it’ll work, and you can squeeze a few hundred avatars in there and see the effect. You’ll be whizzing around like the Goddess Zippididoodah herself!

See You At The Top!!!

My Hollywood Past Lives

startreklayout_001

Yep, I was there, on the Star Trek set and other places with Bill Shatner (extreme left photo) and houseguests Leonard Nimoy, (photo at the far end) Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Walter Koenig and others — how come? Because the producer of Star Trek and my Dad were friends, is why. More than that, Gene Roddenberry had already hired many of our sci-fi friends to turn in a script.

How To Experience Astral Projection Right Now!

shipsdeck

Say, there, Bunky…

Having trouble getting Out of Body??? Organic miseries haunting you??? Blocked by Karma and Attachment to the Body??? No problem. Here’s an exercise using our Second Life Virtual Ashram to get the point across and make the experience a happening full-immersion deal. The solution is simple. Once you “feel” the OOBIE (Out of Body Instant Experience) you’ll never forget it, and you’ll be easily able to dupe (Master Builder for “duplicate”, the basic move in cyber-building) the experience and thus master the out of body technique.

I’ll be giving the exercise at the ICW (Interactive Community Workshop) this Saturday morning, beginning at 6:30 AM Pacific Time. Don’t be late. We’ll all do the technique together right then, during the ICW, at around starting time, so we’ll have a subject of discussion to work with afterward.

If you still haven’t gotten into Second Life and gotten yourself into the Ashram, the whole thing will be a rather empty and intellectual event, with no experiential data personally experienced, which is what happens when you get all THEORY (only 3 credits) and no PRACTICAL (4 additional Course Credits).

In short, make sure you get there for the 4 credit LAB, or be left out in the cold once again, wondering where everyone went to, and why they seem to understand something that’s still eluding you. It’s not a cryptic thing; you need to learn to participate.

Hey, it’s very easy to join us at the virtual ashram. If you have a problem, just call. If you don’t know it by now, I’m here to help.

Ready for Prim-Time

silkedelic1_007

I spent a good portion of the night creating these jumpsuit fashions just for you. Each outfit takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 1/2 hour to complete. Eight outfits=4 hours of intense graphics work. The animal prints might suggest dressing as your totem. I’ll be creating Totem Fashions for you in the next few days. The silks are just a hint of things to come. Join me at Higher Fashions, right here in the Dark Mall. Here are the coordinates:

Did I mention Moonlight Madness Bargain Prices??? Well, get ’em while they’re cheap!

WARNING! Rita Rudner 1/4 Mile Ahead!!!

WARNING!!! Rita Rudner may possibly be the funniest person you’ve ever seen. Spontaneous Human Conniptions can be the result. She’s not only funny, but witty as well, and in my book, certainly can be counted among the modern philosophers. I have a treasured color photo of Rita signed to me when I worked as a publicity director back in the day. I think you’ll find her observations useful in your work. Hold onto your guts, here comes Rita Rudner:

SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP!!!

sheenapromo

Why download Second Life? Why select an Avatar? Why bother to get into Second Life with your new Avatar? Why develop your Avatar? Why learn the MoveAct Code? Why bother to go to the Ashram at all? Why should you spend your valuable spare time at the Ashram anyhow? Why work at the Ashram if you not only don’t get paid, you have to pay to work there??? Why support the Ashram? Why help make the Ashram grow by bringing new folks to the Ashram???

Fair questions. I’ll tell you why:

LIVE Rehearsal for DAILY Shows at Star-Lite Lounge!!!

starlitelounge2_001

Here I am at Leslie-Ann’s Star-Lite Lounge, rehearsing for daily live performances. I’ll be telling jokes and stories, singing, maybe play DJ for a couple of hours, we’ll see what transpires as we go from day to day. The chairs are a new discovery, comfort and great poses abound, and I’m using them almost everywhere except the Hell-Racer … hmm….there’s a thought. Comfort in Hell. You might be wondering where the Star-Lite Lounge is located. Hehe…there are enough clues in the screenshot, but if you’re stumped, try the forum or go to the Ashram and start looking around.

Tom X Has Arrived in the Ashram BigTime!!!

tomxgallery_001

There it is, behind me, on the corner of Street of Dreams and Fifth. The gallery rent is outrageous, but worth it for the exposure on this great well-traveled corner. You can buy Tom’s works on paper for your buildings, but you cannot resell them with the perms set as they are. If you want to be a Tom X dealer, contact any staff member at the Ashram. Actually, you can ask anyone. Surely someone at the docks will have a watch.

Repeat As Necessary

marilynmonroefedoraunique2

It’s probably a good time to re-introduce the Primal Commands once again. A Primal Command goes with the current game (a little electron joke). The game you know best right now is called “Life on Earth”. The real name translates more or less as “Urthgame”, and that’s what you’re into quite deeply right now, due to what is called “angular momentum”. Angular momentum is what gets you into the most trouble, and we’ll be looking at that aspect of travel pretty soon in the Master Builder’s Course. It’s part of the MoveAct Code, and you’ll need to learn its mysteries before you move on to the next level.

Because Root Prim

oldoakatsunrise

Yeah, that’s what I said…“Because Root Prim”…and I meant it, too! Gurdjieff (gesundheit) called the Root Prim the “Centrum of Gravity”, but you’ll never get a practical way to get hold of the Will and Discipline Cycles needed for centering in that Old-Fashioned (meaning the alcoholic drink, not the age-group) Way. Here’s the straight low-down on the Terror of the Situation:
