An Art Show Every Month!!!

morning_view_433x600px

In the Organic World, an artist is lucky to have four shows a year, period. One gallery might show your work every year, others will have you wait three or four years between shows, not to eat up the market with overflow. In Prosperity Virtual Ashram, there’s no reason you can’t put up a new show every month, and if you’re totally beyond bizarre, a new art show every single day. Why not? You’re your own boss on your parcel! And speaking about parcels, don’t forget to learn how to promote your shop, gallery, hangout, club, showroom, chapel or whatever! You can find out more about this at this upcoming weekend’s WORK RELATIONSHIPS workshop. Don’t miss it if you can!!! We’ll be having live auctions inworld for items that are out of this world!

See You At The Top!!!

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.

See You At The Top!!!

FREE Yacht Party Next Weekend — Bring a Friend

Leslie Ann at the Upper Crust Yacht Club during building session June 3, 2013.

Yep, it’s bulldozing and building time once again here at the Virtual Ashram. What I’ve done so far is to simplify and reduce the number of things encountered on the main level, placing them instead in skyboxes and platforms, available through teleport. What else I’ve done is to create a multiple-level terrain with water features. You should be able to walk the length and breadth of the ground level quite easily, although there may be a water break in there yet somewhere or other. If you find a problem, note the x/y/z coordinates and let me know about it, and I’ll handle it right away. Still ahead, adding buildings and some height via mountaintops in addition to what’s there already. You’ll find a variety of vehicle and boat rezzers all about the place; feel free to use them to your heart’s content.

Amazing ThingsTo See…

Little Jenny from BardoTown visits Prosperity Ashram, May 21, 2013, photo by EJ Gold.

Today, I’m going to break my rule — no nudity on my blog — to bring you an amazing video of a ritual dance, performed to a fascinating violin interpretation of deFalla’s Ritual Dance of Fire. Well, she’s not actually nude…with more careful observation, I note a wispy, almost ethereal, thong and pasties. Okay, that’s beach-wear these days, so I’ll ignore the butt-cheeks and the full-frontal pulchritude. Here it is, then — after which I’ll show you a few incredible things that some very imaginative folks have done within the context of the sim worlds, notably Second Life. If you know your exotic dancing, you’ll note that there are very few repeats in her dance, with very few notable exceptions. Vanessa Mae was the artist for the soundtrack; the video was created and performed by Slappy Doobie. It was performed live at Ellie’s Burlesque Club in-world. Look for Virtual Burlesque for more.

And now, let’s look at some perhaps even more amazing performers on Second Life! Keep in mind that you’re not expected to watch the entire video — just enough to get the idea.

NEW — Powerful Virtual Altar

caver094

“The Virtual Altar” — No, it’s not available yet; I’m still working on it, and others like it. I wanted to explain to you the principles behind this 21st century Virtual Command Control, which takes the place of Real Life Act-Outs, which are today called “Ritual”. Acting stuff out is okay, but sometimes expensive and always subject to Outside Disapproval, meaning the Bots get wind that you’re doing something strange, and next thing you know, they’re trying to convert them to one or another of their Bot Religions. So, here’s what magic is, how it works, and how you can use it safely and cleanly to reduce your Karma, get into The Work, and reduce the suffering of All Beings Everywhere.

Thoughts on Virtual Combat

Alta Rydder is ready for action in GoreBagg’s Dragon 3D 1.08 beta version — this is totally updated and upgraded; it’s mistified and Goddlike. Let me throw a few thoughts out here about virtual combat.

First of all, every character that you as a level-designer plunks thoughtfully down into the level map is real in its own world. You’ve got to get used to that idea or you can’t really write levels. There’s more, much more. Read on…

Past-Lives Scrapbooking

 

My Last Plane Crash

I’ve come up with an oddball but terrifically effective method for triggering past life stuff — lacking any other name for it, I’ve called it Past-Life Scrapbooking. The general idea is that I provide you with a page that needs filling out with text, photos, various small items, etc., just as you would do with any other scrapbook. The only difference is that the photos are not of your present life, but of other lives you’ve lived in the past. How it works is that by actively putting the scrapbook together, you trigger the vintage memories.

If you’re asking, “Why would I want to do this?”, you haven’t been paying attention. I’ll give you a “short-form” answer…

Multitracking your voice in the 21st century

How to use all this new cellphone, video and html5 technology? No sweat; here’s one suggestion…video yourself as a choir, adding ALL the parts into the whole, one by one. The conclusion I came to is that this very talented kid has a hell of a lot of time on his hands. I spend more than 5 minutes making a Tin-Pan Alley Hit on youtube and I feel like I’ve failed. Enjoy. He’s really quite exceptional. I hope he monetizes the hell out of his efforts!

Here’s more to tantalize and whet the appetite for multitrack a capella vocals… Continue reading
