Have you totally had it with organic world reality? Tired of the Hell World and Brute World invading your territory and keeping you awake nights waiting for the nuclear flash? Has it come to this, that your afternoon nap is the best part of the day?
When you find a hair in your fruitcake, you’ve found the best part of that fruitcake, and that goes double for Trump, Trump’s Minions and Trump’s World of Hate and Fear.
How would you like to escape from Planet Trump?
I have the answer, and it’s so easy to do.
All you need is a distraction that is compelling enough to draw your attention away from the news media screen for a few hours of relief, and I have just the distractions for you!
However, you’ll soon learn that one single distraction won’t be enough.
Trump can never be satisfied. He’s hungry to be on the front page, always talked about, always causing people to give him attention, importance.
You see before you a man who is afraid, who needs your blood every day, along with the blood of millions of other victims of his insatiable needs.
Trump is loud, demanding and outright in your face, and you might want to counteract the constant impact of his grindlingly insistent whining and verbal aggression, which means getting him and his stupid name out of your attention-field, and that’s going to take some doing, so let’s get started now, before he starts in ranting and raging again.
Trump is predictably psychotic — he has hunger symptoms for his media addiction almost immediately after a media triumph, in which absolutely everybody is talking about Trump, which is his singular goal in life, and it’s never satiated — he’ll never get enough attention to suit his frantic NPD — Narcissistic Personality Disorder — need.
You wouldn’t believe the depths to which he would go to feed that need, but don’t worry, you’ll soon see it for yourself, and you’ll eventually stop being amazed, when they’re leading you to the gas chambers.
As they hand you a bar of wooden soap, just keep this last thought — you could have said something when it mattered. Now, it doesn’t.
Go quietly, no point raising up a ruckus.
Well, maybe a LITTLE ruckus. I’ve switched from this revolver to a .45 Colt Peacemaker, and can really tell the difference in both the weight AND the balance, but I digress.
There are so many threats out there in the world, and so many of them are directed at you and your family and friends, and basically everyone you know and love.
Meanwhile, let’s get our minds off that poor, lonely, friendless little rich boy, sneering and smearing people left and right, sitting smugly with his finger on the nuclear trigger.
Let’s forget that creep, at least for a little while, shall we?
… And that means some sort of powerful distraction, something compelling enough to keep our attention totally rooted on that thing.
It can’t be anything wishy-washy or just SOMEWHAT distracting — what we chiefly need is a totally absorbing something-or-other that doesn’t let us wander into Trump Territory even for a single second.
Well, that will hold while you’re playing, but ONLY when you’re playing, which is what makes the game so addictive.
It’s also the lure of treasures and the joy of personal accomplishments that keep you going, plus the manufacture of your own customized weapons, armor and such — those are fun to make, and the use of the Alchemist’s Cube will be one of the primary things you’ll learn in our secret system of gaming.
Our Secret System transforms a simple online game into something quite different.
Distracting?
Much more than merely “distracting” — DIABLO II when played in POG SAFARI will cause a number of very significant alterations in your apparent reality.
The net result is that you totally forget your troubles, all of them, including organic pain, when you do the thing right, which means following instructions and actually DOING the exercises.
For the lazy, this just won’t do the trick. You’ll need to put some serious ENERGY into the game and into the development of your online character, your “char” or Avatar.
“Development” means learning synergies, point assignments and more, and development is not possible without balance, like the development of an Already Harmonious Human Being, which is the basic idea — harmony first, development second.
The game has to suck us in, totally.
We want something that is all-consuming, totally addictive and if possible, fun. If it’s also somewhat productive, even better, and I’ll show you how to accomplish that, in the course of this dissertation.
Heck, might as well tell you now as later — productivity can be achieved by using a directed meditation, such as DIABLO II, as a basis for a Thought-Experiment, which is nothing more than a directed pattern of organized and coherent thought on a particular subject.
The exact subject doesn’t much matter, and Diablo II will certainly fill the bill in this special case of a moving mediation that captures the imagination and involves a definite plan, some sort of strategy, especially in NORMAL, where the skill of the player is far more in demand than when the Avatar has advanced weapons, armor, speed and power.
Sure, it’s true that the monsters are accordingly more powerful, but the skills in advanced play are, well, different, that’s all. Just plain different.
They sort of GLIDE through, rather than stumble, as the NORMAL chars tend to do, even when operated by very experienced players.
So how do you WEAPONIZE DIABLO II, a simple videogame designed for teenage kids, as a device that helps you to forget about Trump, Trumpies and Trumpism?
It ain’t easy.
Trump is SO aggressive, SO intimidating, SUCH a goddam bully, constantly complaining, crying and whimpering about this and that “wrongness” all around him, totally ignoring his own wrongness, needfully and painfully demanding of YOUR time, YOUR energy and YOUR attention — but we’re going to try.
First thing we need to do is to BLOCK OUT Trump, which is easy. Plug in your add-ons to your SuperBeacon and stay within about 9 feet — three meters or so — of the Beacon while you’re on the computer.
Light your GAMING incense, put on your GOREBAG & THE GRUNTS album, fumigate a candle and put it on the altar, capture some atmosphere from the incense in your dome and place it over your artifacts on or near your SuperBeacon, then address your computer thusly:
“Invoke game” — As you intone this magic message, also press the appropriate buttons to get your D2 game up on screen.
Hopefully, you can project the game full-screen on your computer. If not, it might be a bit harder to handle immersion elements as you’ll need to, from time to time.
Your first task will be to get yourself happy about playing DIABLO II, especially if you’re really not a gamer at heart.
You will need help.
This is a matter of Willpower, not preference. If you don’t have the skill to create Willpower within yourself, get through a PLS course and note the extreme difference.
You can improve your strategic mental abilities and your memory through the use of this simple method, but it will take a while, several gaming sessions, before you can actually SEE the difference and NOTICE the results.
If you play the game in the ordinary way, it won’t be addictive enough to keep you going day after day, night after night.
You can play “for” someone — the game represents a passage. There are other ways to enhance and actually alter the game to make it work for you as a Trump Blocker and more.
You need something to keep you interested in the game and restless to get back to the game when you’re between games.
Yes, you’ll need a totally addictive game or an addictive way to PLAY the game, and I have just the ticket, but you’ll have to be patient.
I’ll eventually give you the clues you need, but you’ll have to hang in through the basics — I hope that’s all right with you, but if it isn’t, there’s nothing I can do about it.
“All right” is Pre-Trump for “Alright” and, yes, I blame Trump entirely, for relentlessly acting to change the language of Amerikans into “chimp-talk”, which is surely something that even Donald J. Trump can understand.
The “J” in his name stands for “Jackass”, but nobody dares call a bully a jackass, so it goes unsaid and unacknowledged. Not my problem, nor yours.
Your whole entire purpose in life should be to forget about Trump, and this method certainly will do it.
You can even raise the stakes by playing HARDCORE, where the character dies and all is thus lost, requiring the player start a completely new character from scratch.
Some players never get above a level 60 char in HARDCORE. The reason is always the same — they get impatient and make a wrong move.
The smart player lets the Merc do the Work.
I’ve just two days ago started a little zon off in the Western Realm. Her name is “NewbieLoL” and she’ll be a bow-zon, although right now, against Duriel, she’s better off with a shield and some throwing and stabbing things, like a spear.
My shield is 75% poison reduction, so that’s handy in the snake realms just ahead of Duriel, and that’s where I used it the most, there and of course, fighting Andy at the end of Act One.
I also happened to have a pair of mitts that were 25% poison reduction, plus another 25% with a belt that also happened to give me a hefty helping hand in attack rating, which means I get the first hit ahead of my opponent.
It’s all calculated by dice throws, although you don’t see them — they’re handled deep inside the computer’s brain, but it comes out as videographics and sound and you’re convinced that something’s really happening when it isn’t, and that’s the whole point — to create the ILLUSION of action, and the ILLUSION of a need to react to something onscreen.
It has to seem IMPORTANT, or your attention will wander once again back to your world-pain and personal troubles, your worries and fears, and you don’t want that, so stick with me — we’ll get through this one step at a time.
Your FIRST STEP should be to set up your gaming environment properly, which means your stash, your armor and your weapons, of which you have exactly NONE when you first arrive, with the singular exception of a crummy weapon and some sort of raggy backpack that hasn’t got whiz-all inside it.
Your first task will be to say hello to all the folks in the Rebel Camp. That will only take a minute, and you should repeat this exercise anytime you change levels and go to a new space.
Okay, now go out onto BLOOD MOOR and kill some things before they kill you. Try not to get hit at all, which means learning to dodge the missiles, arrows, porcupine quills and little rocks and stones.
Once you’ve found the passage to COLD PLAINS, get over to the GRAVEYARD as soon as you can.
There’s nothing so relaxing as a cemetery.
Even as a beginning character, you have enough moxie to kill BLOOD RAVEN, and if you don’t have those skills yet, it might be time to develop them.
It’s not a big deal to kill BLOOD RAVEN. You simply ignore the minions and go right for the throat. Stay locked onto her, and all her spinning and dodging will have zero effect.
Keep feeding yourself potions as needed. Soon you’ll be doing the same for your merc, whom you earn by killing BLOOD RAVEN, remember?
Maybe you’ve never played DIABLO II before, and there’s nothing to remember??? In which case, you’ll have an opportunity later to remember now.
So let’s examine the situation and review our actions to date:
- Do your altar stuff and set up your SuperBeacon on the side with plug-ins.
- Invoke your DIABLO II game.
- Select a LADDER character class, and name your char accordingly.
- Get your char into a game and start walking.
These are the basics. Of course, there are a LOT of extras, things to keep you busy and totally engrossed in the game, and we’ll get into those items in the next few weeks as we head into the Labor Day Convention, where we’ll be exploring SURVIVAL in a number of different ways.
Be sure to have DIABLO II on your computer by Labor Day Convention time — you won’t have nearly as much fun and good contact if you don’t have DIABLO II available to you, and it takes HOURS to get it installed, so don’t wait until the day of the con to do this.
We will also be working in the ASHRAM on survival technology, so make sure your Second Life browser is fully updated. You don’t want a two-hour delay to stop you from getting into those wild online adventures!
We’ll be flying, sailing and possibly even submarine exploring at the con!
Okay, so what else do you need to know in order to use DIABLO II to block your daily worries?
Everything. There is SO much to cover that we can’t get it all in one sitting, nor in dozens or even hundreds.
There is a wealth of detail that can’t be transmitted in a single message or a single class, and most of what you’ll need to know is EXPERIENTIAL, not CLASSROOM.
A lecture does nothing to help you.
You need action and reaction, training yourself to not panic, not react stupidly to stress and upset, which will happen PLENTY in DIABLO II, and even more so as you go up the levels to NIGHTMARE and eventually HELL.
You’ll need to Master Hell before you’re through, and then your troubles only just begin. It can take MONTHS to arrive at LEVEL 99, and when you do, it’ll be time for a NEW LADDER, and you’ll want to start a new char and begin the process all over again!
It never ends, a fact which you will soon appreciate, if you have any taste for Eternity.
Taking down BLOODRAVEN can be a challenge or it can be easy, depends on your skills, your knowledge, your game experience and, of course, your choice at the moment.
I prefer to take BLOODRAVEN while all her minions are active, but you might want to thin the crowd down a bit, which is not at all a bad idea.
You’ll note some crypts on the side of the cemetery — both of which are great ways to bring your char up a few notches while you’re waiting to get the nerve to take on BLOODRAVEN up close and person, face to face, as it were.
She’s not so heavy — just a pussycat with a big growl. If you’re careful to not allow yourself to die, which means frequent trips in a TP — Teleport — well, gosh, you might just get killed more than once or twice, and if you do, you deserve every bit of it.
There’s no reason to be clumsy.
It takes some doing to get yourself killed in the FIRST ACT, and in the SECOND ACT you’ll find that you can explain it better when you do get swatted down by something you didn’t notice was creeping up on you.
That’s always how it is. Something you didn’t notice.
The BIG SECRET of combat is to address the NEXT NEAREST THREAT, the most immediate threat, not the distant threat that isn’t yet at your throat and in your face.
The Nazis and Klan and Gangland people you can do nothing about, even with weapons — nothing will really stop them until they turn on each other, which they always do in the end, but by that time, you’re long gone one way or another.
While they rule the land, you go elsewhere. When they zig, you zag.
Escape into DIABLO II.
You can join us in SAFARI, a group game of up to eight players, taking part in a DIABLO II Mission.
Having responsibility to a group makes the immersion so much easier, and so much more powerful and compelling. You’re functioning off, and taking advantage of, the group will as opposed to your own personal will.
Willpower is needed, and you’ll need plenty of help achieving that willpower to keep on keeping on.
Group games are a powerful answer.
You can take part in unusual SAFARI GROUP MISSIONS — These are online in-game levels and exercises, electronic excursions in which you will discover new ways of playing DIABLO II, ways that were entirely unforeseen by the game designers at ID Software, but very available to THOSE WHO KNOW, which is us, and will soon include YOU.
The SECRET “Games Within a Game” technology is transmitted over a period of time. You will NEVER tire of DIABLO II if you play it our admittedly very unusual way.
For a complete rundown on DIABLO II as a spiritual practice, stay tuned for further data and exploratory events.
While you’re waiting to get into a group game, you might want to bring your NEW LADDER char up to about Level 12 or so, which makes it easier to participate in, and contribute to, group SAFARI games.
REVELATIONS and REALIZATIONS are ahead of you when you use DIABLO II in this special and unusual way.
You can use DIABLO II alone or in a group. It works for you either way.
If you’re working alone at this time, you’ll still want an ONLINE char, so be sure you create your char in ONLINE MODE on BATTLENET, which is maintained very well, in spite of the game being two decades old.
There was a recent NEW LADDER update, so you’ll be able to get into the swing very easily — you’ll soon discover that MAGIC FIND works a lot better when there aren’t so many people FARMING for drops.
Fewer professionals looking for stuff to sell.
You might even find a BER RUNE now and again in your meanderings and wanderings in the electronic Bardos of DIABLO II.
There are SO MANY DETAILS in DIABLO II that you won’t have any trouble forgetting about your Trump troubles and other personal worries.
Everything about the organic world will drift away and be as nothing, when you become fully immersed in the world of DIABLO II.
One thing you’ll note is that HELL is more pleasant and tolerable than TRUMP WORLD.
Use DIABLO II and the DIABLO II SAFARI to escape and evade the forces of evil that have overtaken the world and corrupted Amerika.
Forget the fact that you live in a Nazi Dictatorship, and enjoy the fun of killing and destroying the Minions of Evil throughout your travels from world to world.
Once you have fought your way — alone — through ACT ONE, you’re ready to take on the rest of the worlds, and by the time you’ve killed BAAL either alone or with a friend, you’re ready to contribute and hold your own in a group game.
One advantage of DIABLO II over other games is that it’s always a different map — the map sections get re-arranged each time the game is invoked, so you’ll NEVER be bored by sameness.
In addition, the characters that spawn against you are always different, and they adjust to the number of players, plus the level of player, so you’re always experiencing something slightly different at each pass through the game.
I wouldn’t recommend “BOOSTS” or “RUSHES” of any kind. Take it slow and easy, and use every stage of gameplay to help you forget, help you forget, help you forget.
Block That Bitch! Kick That Block!
See You At The Top!!!
