I was asked to write up some reminiscences of Lee. Well, Lee and I had more than our share of interesting conversations, but most of them had one underlying theme; not so much helping students to awaken, but how to prepare students for the responsibilities that come automatically Just From Being Awake. Enlightenment is just the beginning. Continue reading
On this side of The Shift, the Street of Dreams is a complete range of Temple environments created by me; each leading to a profoundly different world with a different set of work regulations and work conditions.
My wondrous shops and Jazz Club are gone, alas, as are those of Space and XxaxX, sigh, but we gotta have bypasses, and it’s up to us Vogons to put them in, and that’s what I did.
UPDATE ADDITION:
I’ve managed to buy and put up two more temples tonight, and I want to hasten to add that SpaceBuddhaa has an enormous multi-story gallery & shops boutique, housing many of her wonderful decorating items and other wondrous goodies. It’s on The Strip, at 3201 Meters, along with my Fashionista Shop, right next door to hers.
Bottom line, Spacebuddhaa, XxaxX and Leslie Ann are deluged by tons of stuff coming back into our inventories, but it does make room for the Temple items necessary for their function, and shops are not the primary purpose of the Ashram. Continue reading
I spent the entire night roaming the Ashram at each and every level, analyzing each area and noting which I need to do first and which can wait until some other time. I now have a full breakdown of the exact location of each and every meeting space and workspace in the Ashram and the number of prims available to deal with each.
I am happy to say that my Far West Region, which was strapped down to just hundreds of prims, has now a nice juicy 11,101 prims with which to work, and I’ll need every single one of them to do what I’m going to do there, upon which I’ll now elaborate: Continue reading
SpaceBuddhaa was busy in the Ashram tonight, clearing out the objects in the Condo. I have a suspicion that when I de-rezzed the condo, someone fell — I sort of saw something move downward from my elevated position. I hope that’s not true, but if it is, I’m mighty sorry, even if the Avatars tend to bounce like a toon.
By the way, personal flying is permitted of course when you’re building or rezzing, it should go without saying. It should, but it can’t. So the final word is, for building, you can do whatever you need to do in order to accomplish the build.
Anyhow, thanks to SpaceBuddhaa’s efforts tonight, in spite of a lousy internet connection and all sorts of Sl internal problems, the objects formerly known as “the condo” and contents are entirely gone, making room for what should be there, should have been there in the first place, but couldn’t be there until we were here, if you get my meaning, if you get my drift. What is it that’s going in there? It’s what Morgan would have called “Wait and See Pudding”. Continue reading
I’ve put up Malibu Beach Homes for Lorca, GullFoyle, Capizz and Molly Midway; they’re not yet completely finished, but they do each have your brand-new XxaxX-made plasma tanks, the latest model. I’ll get around to putting in some decor as I’m able. I’m posting my hourly stuff on twitter, and was just in time to put up a notice that we were in the middle of a crashing thunderstorm (thanks for the rain-dances) which begins the fall season in this New Reality. You can tell whose house is whose by clicking on it and reading the name. If you want a name box in front, we can arrange it. Continue reading
I snapped this photo of my friends Terry Melcher and Mark Lindsay with my Mamiyaflex Medium Format Camera back in 1966 or 1967, either at RCA or at Cielo Drive, I can’t determine from the photo clues which it was. This photo is the result of a night’s search through thousands of negatives to locate it and the others I took of Terry back in the day.
I’ll catch you up on how I spent my night: Continue reading
I’ve put back both of the Chen-Rig Temple Prayers; they are once again to be found on the backside of the Chen-Rig Temple entry wall, just as they were before The Shift.
Don’t laugh. I know it looks funny now in the Ashram if you’re a Perm Rez, but I’m working on it… I’m restoring the Ashram, little by little, to what it was here in this Reality Zone before the mingle-mangle of mixing manifestations that scrambled it all up.
This sort of thing always happens, and every time it does, it’s Leslie Ann that’s gotta grab a mop & broom and clean up the mess, detail the cars, change the stuff that isn’t right, and generally sweep the streets with a hand-broom and a dump-cart.
Heck, that’s actually one of my oldest professional gigs. Continue reading
I was just about to step into a well-deserved hot bath after the art class and a post-lunch book carrying session up and down the stairs, plus five paintings completed for the marketplace. Knock on door. “Tiffany’s here, she wants to see you if you’re available.” Continue reading
Photo by James Rodney!!! Incredible, eh?
Back from breakfast, waiting for our daily Cloister Admin Meeting, which we never miss — we used to skip a meeting now and then, but now, and for the past six months, we just don’t. Death and Illness are the only two excuses from the Admin Meeting.
If you form a leadership group in the Ashram, which I encourage and even insist upon — you can’t count on me for daily leadership, and leadership isn’t appointed, it just is — anyhow, the leadership in the Ashram should also meet on a daily basis.
I know, it’s hard, there are tons and tons of pressing obligations all around you, but that’s the story with admin, no vacations, long hours, low pay, no thanks. Continue reading
Oh, boy, am I excited! More excited about anything in GODD since the invention of the Remedy Orb!!! Actually, I’m more excited about anything that’s happened in the past decade in the realm of GOOD GODD™ Orb Training Levels …
After more than 30 years in GODD™ Games development, I’ve brought my skills to the perfection of the ultimate group dungeon experience, and after thousands of constructive failures, I have my first Success. It’s called “Reality Shifter 1”, and is the first of nine Orbs created to train one to cross boundaries and recognize the shift through signs & portents.
That means “if you weren’t paying attention the first time through, no matter how good your memory is, you won’t notice any change.”
My Reality Shifter Orbs teach the Being to see, record & remember. You will gain the skill to see across boundaries of all kinds, including death and rebirth. All will be open to you.
