What is Enlightenment?

Where to find Enlightenment? Perhaps in this oil refinery at night???

Anyone making an actual attempt to arrive at Enlightenment will probably have some sort of definition of Enlightenment, or at least a vague and blurry concept of what it will be like to be Enlightened.

So, that’s the first thing to throw out of your head. Here’s the routine:

  • Forget what you’ve heard about Enlightenment.
  • Forget what you believe about Enlightenment.
  • Forget the definitions of Enlightenment you may have heard or self-realized.

Enlightenment must not be defined, because it’s not a product, it’s a process. The slow process of Enlightenment starts with a First Step. Continue reading

Earn REAL Money in the Virtual World

It’s easy to make real money in the virtual world — lots of people have been doing it for years. Don’t ask where you’ve been all this time. There’s a lot to do every day, who can keep up with everything?

You can do a regular business and conduct your marketing and sales online and ship what you sell.

In Gorby’s Scientific Business Plan you need no inventory whatever, at least not the ordinary kind that you have to store in a costly storage unit for years on end, kinda like a timeshare but with just yourself holding the bag.

So never mind conducting your online business as a side-hustle. Let’s talk serious money, enough to pay the bills every month. Continue reading

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

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!!!

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!

Go Here & Take a Look

furrowsinthefog_003

Go here & take a look. Of course, you’ll need to be in Second Life to do it. This layout of a high-fashion New York Loft contains a large number of my original artworks and a selection of fine designer furnishings, and it will be completed, if all goes well, sometime in the next 24 hours. It’s a work area, so please have the good sense not to touch anything. Thanks. Here’s the address:
