GET HOOKED ON GAMING???

Yeah, instead of apologizing for wasting your time playing games, you ought to cultivate a gaming discipline, for the sake of health and happiness, a discipline in which you dedicate AT LEAST four hours a day to online gaming and the sooner you build it into a CONSCIOUS ADDICTION, the better. Notice that I did not tone it down by saying “Conscious Habit“, but that is of course what I mean — a deeply ingrained and unbreakable habit that one has acquired deliberately and intentionally, and that one has cultivated and deepened over the years.

Open Socket Improvised Weapons

Lurking behind you at sundown is your friendly neighborhood vampire.

Alas, when wandering in the lower worlds, one often arrives at a spawn point pretty much bare-ass naked — no armor, no belt, no helm, no rings, no amulet, no gloves, no money to buy any, and what amounts to a survival knife in one hand, and that’s it. Continue reading

Deeply Sculptured Enamelware can be achieved through advanced techniques.

Which is the Darkest Hour of the Night? It’s always the one you’re in. How will you get through this Dark Hour? It’s not a question of what you do, but where you are at the time. Most of the issues in the Dark Hour revolve around what you’re going to do to get through it, and here’s one solution that works when all other solutions fail. Continue reading

What Secrets Did the Ancients Possess?

x
Clay Seal Stamp dated 1354 B.C. mentions the Triad in Register III — “MEM TA NEF”.

What Secrets did the Ancients possess? Quite a few that have yet to be rediscovered, but people are always rediscovering things they have forgotten how to do, how to make and how to use.

CULTURAL AMNESIA happens every time a large and imposing empire collapses from its own massive weight. Cultural Amnesia is the result of a Dark Age, an age of darkness, when the advances of the previous civilization have worn off and are no longer part of daily life.

Was there an Atlantis?

Yes, of course there was, although “Atlantis” in the Platonic sense is a combination of at least three civilizations from the long-distant past, in human reckoning. I have items from about 30,000 B.C. and they show clearly that technology was very much a part of ancient life as far back as 100,000 B.C. when they flew airplanes and dropped hydrogen bombs on each other, just as they do today.

People before Homo Sap were pretty smart, too, and then there were a surviving race of lizard men, Sauroman, that were encountered infrequently by humanoids. Also on Earth are a new breed of robot that’s being tested by the Grey II researchers on Mount … oops, almost threw that one away, but I’m careful to not violate the Prime Directive. I can give hints, but not actual data.

What I mean is, “somewhere at some undisclosed location”, don’t I??? Yes, of course. Let’s start that over … Somewhere, at some undisclosed location, there’s a Grey II research lab that uses human enzymes for various purposes. Hybrids are easier to make than metals, plastics are organic science, and flesh is so damned vulnerable to accident and illness.

Robots are the dominant higher life form just about everywhere. It takes several thousand years of civilization past the warring states stage to develop anything like Distortion Bubble InterSpace and InterDimensional Travel, as have so many civilizations before and after humans. Continue reading

I’m So Not Into That

x
Sand Dunes at Gorcy Devon, a sketch for Realm of the Dark Ones, to be released soon.

“I hate Medieval times,” you say when offered a place in a Spiritual Rehab Mission, “and I don’t wish for even a split second that I had been born then, because I was, many times, and if you’re able to recollect what it was like, it could be described as daily grind, daily grind, daily grind, get food, cook food, eat food, sleep — only to be awakened suddenly by an invading horde of Others, the Tribe Next Door or one that came in sailing ships to overwhelm and overrun your shores, and furthermore, I don’t like sitting at a computer and wasting my precious personal time playing some silly game.”

You’re trained to find social and personal value in whatever activity you’re offered, and this is no exception. You have to overcome your personal feelings of “LIKE” or “DISLIKE” when accepting a spiritual training, because you can’t trust your personal taste in this area.

Personal taste is like saying, “I don’t like the taste of this medicine. I like cookies and that’s what I’m taking to get better. Yum, cookie.”

Well, so you don’t happen to give two farthings for the goings-on within the game. Big deal. You think I’m spending sleepless nights worrying about Uber Diablos roaming the Earth?

Heck, it’s not just in the virtual world that I don’t really care what happens, nor do I give two shakes which idiot happens to be temporarily in power, who rules whom, and the atrocities and injustices that abound in the virtual world and in the real world are none of my concern, unless I make it my concern, and that right there is the Basic Secret of Life — I’ll explain: Continue reading

Exploiting Your Weaknesses

x
Artist’s Conception of the small town of  Summershire in my latest adventure videogame, “The Portal Game”, due for release this year.

Weakness takes you down, makes your legs unsteady, on the verge of collapse, your ribcage quivers and shakes uncontrollably, and your back aches with the pain of just being there. You can barely move enough to bring yourself to your desk chair, and turn on your computer and left-mouse click the desktop graphic to invoke the Diablo 2 Expansion Pack game engine, but somehow you manage it and sit back to admire your effort.

You invoke the character you intend to run on this session, hoping your utter weakness and helplessness and despair don’t spill over into the game environment to bring sudden death to your Avatar, but you know that you’re just not up to the task, and you’re  unable to make those “good moves” that saves the life of your Avatar time after time, but tonight, you’re feeling so damn punk that you doubt your ability to destroy the enemy creatures.

One secret to handling the weakness and despair and inability to focus is to CREATE A PURPOSE for yourself to accomplish in THIS SESSION.

Don’t try to make it too complex or difficult. It should be an easily attainable goal, some end result that you can see and feel and sense, and yet isn’t too far out of reach.

What you want to create for yourself tonight is a specific and easily reached “Attainable Goal”.

Sometimes the Attainable Goal is the next quest, sometimes the next Experience Level or a higher specific Experience Level that you feel you can attain in the time you have available for this particular gaming session.

The SETTING OF THE GAMING SESSION GOAL is the singlemost important action you will take in Spiritual Gaming Rehab. Continue reading

Notes From My Desk

x
EJ Gold Awesome Graphite Landscapes, available in book form & signed art print .

For the past several weeks, I’ve been playing Diablo 2 for an average of 8-10 hours a day, broken up into two and sometimes three sessions, with breaks about every half hour to an hour, plenty of water to keep hydrated, lots of walking in between missions, listening to my favorite Press Keys, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck or Charles Lloyd album as I whip the Diablo levels into a total frenzy with my combination punch — traps plus fire bombs from my trapper assassin and ravens, wolves and blasts of arctic air from my elemental druid.

The point is, when in combat, don’t dawdle. Pour it on as fast and as heavy as you can, with great efficiency and fervor, then dodge the return fire and do it again until nothing moves and all is quiet on the Western Front. In short, rain down death and destruction like some Hindu Gods I could mention, then have a sip of tea and do it again.

Yes, death and destruction. If you’re going to get into the God Business, you can’t be squeamish about what happens when a universe runs down from Big Bang to Very Very Dark and Quiet. There’s a lot of death and destruction in the normal course of events. Hundreds of micro-organisms die every year, and you wouldn’t believe the statistics in the vegetable kingdom.

So I’m knocking about in various modes, a wide variety of character classes, an even wider spread of character levels from level 1 to level 61, my highest ranking char in hardcore in this most recent run of ladder characters, although I have dozens more in non-ladder, going all the way back to the very first year of Diablo 2, about fifteen years ago, by my admittedly shaky reckoning — maybe 20 years, could be, during the course of which I’ve put in several thousands of hours of experimental game play, with the idea in mind of developing a course of self-study and self-mastery that used gaming as a basis, and that’s what I’m presenting now.

Spiritual Rehab Clinics

x
8 and 10 hour gaming sessions work wonders on your Essential Self.

Why do you go to church, synagogue, temple, gathering, circle or group therapy? You go because your spirit is sick, tired, wandering alone, helplessly crumbling under the crushing heel that grinds you down into the mindless tedium, organic pain, mental overwhelm, personal habits, addictions and money worries of daily life.

Want fast, fast, fast relief?

Nothing could be simpler, but you don’t heal the body, you heal the spirit. Spiritual Healing can be achieved through a number of different ways, one of which is intensive video gaming in the right environment doing the right things and accomplishing the right goals in the right way, all of which is contained in the personal training program.

What is the personal training program? Continue reading

10 Pasos en la escalera de la Liberación — Español

cleopatra08
¡Sal ahí fuera y coge algo de Liberación, mientras puedas!

La liberación empieza en casa. Si estás sentado o en pie esperando a que alguna persona relumbrante, con una túnica blanca y brillante con capucha venga y te meta de lleno en la liberación, tienes una larga espera por delante. Sabes que la quieres, pero hasta ahora, la Liberación te ha esquivado. Bueno, no esperes más. Se empieza por algo pequeño y suave, y se va ganando fuerza a medida que subes la escalera. Aquí están las instrucciones específicas garantizadas para la Liberación Personal. Todo esto está sustentado por tu avatar, al cual mantienes y haces permanecer en el Ashram Virtual Prosperidad tantas horas como sea posible. Se supone que estarás AFK (Away From Keyboard) alejado del teclado la mayoría del tiempo, pero es enteramente innecesario que estés delante de la pantalla para que tu Avatar lleve a cabo las tareas y obligaciones en el mundo virtual mientras estás ausente.

When is the Release Date for “The Portal Game”???

 

x
Cover illio for The Portal Game, which teaches how to use Ancient Triads.

Portal Keys are the main use of Triads in the game, although Healing and Higher Contact are the actual intentional uses of this ancient instrument that was introduced into the life of humans of Planet Earth sometime around 30,000 B.C. during one of the earlier civilizations, which has been long submerged under the sea.

Atlantis? Possibly, but there were thousands of city-states that were destroyed in several massive catastrophic sea-level risings, a repetitive event on Earth that is soon to be repeated in our time. What happens is that the seacoast disappears underwater when the ice caps melt, which they’ve been doing for the past 65,000 years, by my clock.

Don’t let that divert you from your Essence Quest, to find and learn to use the ten Triads of the Ancients, somewhere in the wilderness — that’s the first Triad, but there are nine more, and you’ll have to explore and traverse ten different worlds to find all the Triads you’ll be carrying and using from now on.
