Sorry for the lapse in posting. I had to eradicate the previous post — my flaky internet connection wouldn’t let me post anything for almost a week now. Claude insists that he has no idea why it suddenly works again, but I’m able to post right now, so I’m posting:

I’ll be conducting LIVE online fine art nonprofit charity fundraising auctions starting this very day — at 4 PM I’ll be conducting an experiment for the benefit of several folks who are interested in raising money for worthy causes, among which will be the museum of ancient and modern art, the ashrams and possibly a charter school and a children’s academy, a medical clinic and more. Watch this afternoon LIVE and I’ll give you a basic run-through on THE PLAN. Basically, it’s the sale of a large and important inventory of blue-chip artists such as Rembrandt, Chagall, Matisse, Miro, Picasso and Renoir, as well as modern and contemporary artists, plus gold & silver coins, antiques, daguerreotype vintage photos, gold & silver jewelry, diamonds,  high-grade natural gold nuggets from the Blue Tent Mine,  rare and important meteorites and fossils, exceptionally rare and important antiquarian books & manuscripts, important historical items, stage magic collectibles, handmade clothing by Jed, myself & others and a wealth of other items, including some rather extraordinary items from my Tibetan shelf. We’ll be doing a charity auction as often as I can manage it — getting the items is harder than selling them — probably once a week, a one or two hour auction, with the proceeds going accordingly: Continue reading →

Snap-On Tools for 3D SmartGames

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

We’ve thoroughly player-tested our TouchGodd® games on browsers. Not only do they work, they’re very popular, but because they can’t really be played on a smart phone, they haven’t received recognition or massive downloads as yet.

One point of some paramount importance: I’ve included a video here on how some people are solving the massive-multiplayer issues of a browser-based videogame, but the real issue here is a combination of ignorance and arrogance.

Won’t Someone Please Help?

What I came here to 20th – 21st century Earth to do: Make GODD® Games and get folks into these magically-endowed environments with their powerful BARDO properties and opportunities to learn to navigate the between lives state and to guide their destinies along the Work-Path through Boddhisatva Training. Chat rooms in the Causal Plane are already available, but NOT in app form, and that’s the point.

Two years ago, we were just on the verge of creating an app that would allow the GODD® Engine games to be played by millions, if they had a smartphone or pad, and my prayers were answered. Then, suddenly, the project had to be abandoned, and I lost hope that it could be achieved while I still had the health to be able to create Bardo Games games for smartphones and other hand-held devices. For two years, I gave up entirely on the app.

Then, two days ago, thanks to Bob Bachtold, whose business is creating apps, I was told of a technique that we could use to “save” the GODD engine and all my Bardo games. Without this, they would be lost in the next “upgrade” of windows. With this, we can be within reach of those unfortunates who have Apple gear and have never had the opportunity to experience a GODD game on their own computer.

Thanks to Bob, we again have the hope that GODD games can get out there in app form. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. At the moment, we only have the HOPE — we know that it CAN BE DONE. There is a way to “wrap” my edited games into an app, but it’s going to require that the GODD engine be translated into XCODE, about which I know absolutely nothing.

When it’s made into this XCODE stuff, it can be attached to absolutely ANY app system, so I’m told. It gets us free of the blockage we’re in at the moment with out very outdated, yet innovative, engine. We can do anything the other engines can do, mostly a lot better than they can, but we’ve been blocked from smartphones for far too long. We need the hard cash to hire the help to get 1100 spiritually-based 3D games out there.

I’m ready to do the map editing, but I have to know how to edit them, and I can’t, until we are actually using an APP-Enabled Engine. Can you, will you, help? We need hundreds, maybe thousands, of hours of highly skilled high-pay help.

It’s no longer a question of “if it can be done”. We know that it can. The question is, how long will it take? It could be a six month or even a two year project, or we could have the app games out in a month. We need a millionaire donor to step up to the plate. Our cash need? Unclear how many hours it will take, but it’s going to run into six figures, this we know. But it CAN BE DONE.

Anyone interested in several lifetimes worth of Merit?

Gold Mine For Sale or Rent Cheap

Uncategorized, , , , ,

http://www.treasurehuntersinternational.com/graphics/covershot.jpg

As many folks know, Claude and I have a goldmine that we haven’t worked in many years. Why not? Simple reason: doesn’t pay. Why not? Simple answer: to make a gold mine pay, you need OSHA clearance, among other things. You need a license to exploit mineral rights, even on your own property. The biggest problem is, you don’t want to advertise where your mine is located — that’s inviting disaster in a hurry. The other increasingly obvious reason is that we’re just too dang elderly for all that climbing and hiking and bending and waterlogged drenchings and cold misty mornings. On the other hand, a few expeditions in there every so often wouldn’t be too bad. Here’s the deal: we can’t take in a workshop — it’d reveal the location of the mine, the very last thing you’d want to do. One more major piece of information weighing in rather heavily…gold is at the bottom of a price-test, and that means people are not interested in buying it right now. The public only buys a thing when it’s at the top of its price range, so when gold goes up and up and up, they’ll eventually buy — right at the tippy-top of the market. Then, quite predictably, when gold goes back down, as it always does when traders take a profit on the way up, they sell. Pardon my chuckles. So the gold mine has sat for several decades with nobody seemingly interested. But all of a sudden, we’ve had three inquiries about the mine, all from the same general direction…

Why Meteorites???

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

This is a piece of The Moon. You can own it. You can touch it. You can relate to it. You can travel very, very far with it. It was knocked off the Moon by some sort of stony impact on the ancient surface of the Moon,  and found its way toward the sun. It exploded in the high atmosphere of the Earth, then fell in a thousand fragments, each one burning in the oxygen-rich air, forming a fusion crust around each individual stone. They start out large, but by the time they’ve hit the ground, they’re very small, average size about a quarter-inch to an inch wide. It is a very good way to touch the Moon. Magically speaking, it IS the Moon, the Gateway to the Goddess. This stuff sells at about $1000 a gram if you can find the Real Thing. On eBay, you can get something that looks very similar for a lot less, but be prepared for a shock when you bring it in for appraisal. It’s worthless unless it’s the Real Thing, and the Real Thing is NOT plentiful, nor is it traded casually online.

This is Allende. It contains particles of an exploded star. The star exploded many millions of years ago. The solar system has bits of it everywhere. Some of it traveled from the asteroid belt to the Earth and landed in the Northwest African desert. Some of it landed in Allende, Mexico. You can touch stuff from an exploded star that existed long before our solar system was formed from its ashes. I have some of these. They are for sale at a very modest $30 per gram. They are large masses used for XDR (Extra-Dimensional Radio).

This is a lump that was knocked off of Mars. There is no doubt about it, it’s Mars Rock. There are ways of determining that, but it requires lab testing to make sure it’s the Real Thing. Meteorites that form in space, in very low, nearly zero gravity, cannot be faked, but lab results can be. You want to see the slice, and you’d better know what you’re looking for. Just like a rare coin or stamp or antiquity, if you don’t know how to test it, you’re vulnerable to fraud. Be CAREFUL when buying rare things. KNOW as much as you can!!! Find out about it. Do an in-depth search on the subject. At the very least, work with an expert you know you can trust, and believe me, a certificate or degree is NO guarantee of expertness, nor is reputation. You can touch a real Mars Rock for as little as $450, but it’s gonna be a really, really tiny little crumb. I have larger pieces, but they run into the $3,500 and up range. Fusion crusted examples are hard to find, and large pieces are almost impossible. For XD purposes, a small piece, about 1.0 gram, will do. That’s the $450 price-tag I was talking about.

Touch Mars. Touch the Moon. Touch a Sun. Wake Up.

Temple Chen-Rig Progress Report

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , ,

I had one of those unfortunate disasters, and lost a day’s work; recovered it by 3:00 AM and have now gone on to amend the orb with embellishments and such…notably a zen walk and some off-sim boats — my first off-sim in the GODD® Engine Environment. There’s so much room on the map, we don’t really need the effect, but it’s fun and useful to know that it’s there to be tapped into if necessary. I made an attempt to FRAPS the orb for you, but halfway through the FRAPS video, I realized that I hadn’t yet placed the guru graphics in the Great Hall, and have yet to put in the chairs at the conference center near the Dance Pavilion. You’ll notice that I’ve done a great deal of bulldozing and piled up some snow-capped peaks all around. Also, the snow no longer gets into the buildings, thanks to Val’s repair yesterday. More about Temple Chen-Rig at the ICW this morning at 6:30 AM.

Using Didgeridoos, Hapi drums, Native American Spirit Flutes, Djembe and Ibo along with Prepared Violin, Keyboards and Electric Bass, the Geezer Band delights young & old — the middle-aged remain uncommitted. You will be seeing lots more music coming your way. With jazz trax from Jimmi Accardi & Bob Bachtold, I’ve been recording a sax album with Oz, and we’ll be adding some more tracks tomorrow.

I’m working concurrently on 19 orbs, most of which are 99% done. I’m waiting for a stable water engine before releasing any that contain water journeys (gosh, just think; soon it will be “journey’s” and “journies”, and when TXT becomes the Official Language of Earth in just over a decade, the word “journeys” will have been swangled into the TXTWRD=JRNY. Gee whillikers, is there no end to human ingenuity???
