These are Tuff Sheds. They are NOT “tin sheds”, but actual 2×4 stud-built houses, some of which can be made very liveable for VERY little money, and I mean VERY VERY LITTLE money.
I Have Your Retreat Building Solution Totally Solved — L@@K!!!
Fall Lineup for Marketing Ashram Products
Here are the preliminary labels for some of the Ashram products I have in mind for public circulation:
These are just the beginning — I intend to release as much from our Magic Kitchen as I can possibly arrange and figure out how to package and ship them safely. Continue reading
Wear Your Ashram Healing Gold Now
The Ashram Gold gleaned from the Ashram Sacred Soil by hand-panning at the Offertory Shrine or by Spiral Wheel of Karma can be mounted in a 14kgf or 14k simple or fancy locket of your choice, sized anywhere from a mini — about the size of a dime — all the way to a dollar-sized handmade real rope bezel, if you like and are willing to pay for it.
I have solid 14k gold lockets in all sizes and in many different styles, all of which come with a bail ring for your own gold chain. I do not sell gold chains — you can’t predict which ones customers will want, and nobody really wants to pay for gold chains these days, so you might consider a gold-filled chain or mounting your gold amulet on a beaded necklace.
The cost of an Ashram Gold Nugget Locket depends on the size, weight of the gold, plus the “coolness” of the nugget or nuggets in the locket. The very best Ashram Sacred Soil Healing Gold would be the gold that YOU glean from your daily panning practice. Continue reading
Official Ashram Planning Commission Report
The official word is this: KEEP WHATEVER YOU WANT TO KEEP on the 3250 meters level. This level will not be taken down. It will function as an advanced student area and you can put your shrine, temple or home at the 3250 meters level. What you’re seeing in the screenshot above is the GROUND LEVEL street layout. You are expected to build there, and to take note of the layout and the fact that it’s a community and not a free-for-all battleground of contrasting tastes and values. That’s strictly for the ape-descendents.
So what about all the other stuff on your parcel???
You have only so many prims to spend. Prims are like your Net Worth, your bank account plus everything else you have. When you run out of Prims, you need a larger space or you must cut back what you’ve put up, which I’ve done hundreds of times, wiping out thousands of hours of previous work in order to make the improvements my advancing skills will allow.
I’ll cover all the details in this morning’s broadcast at 6:30 am PST, but basically there IS A PLAN and you need to find out what the plan is and make your parcel conform with the plan as soon as you’re able. There’s plenty of room for self-expression in the plan, but you MUST take the plan into account when taking action on your parcel!!!
See You At The Top!!!

All in a Night’s Work
Last night I spent about seven solid hours rebuilding Rome, making it a walking experience, giving it some body & depth, and I got lucky with my building, so you can see it today, right now, in the Ashram. The major changes are on the ground floor, meaning along the River of Time. There are a lot of finishing touches that will be added as the year goes on, and Target Destinations will be my next short-term goal to get up and running.
See You At The Top!!!

Christmas is Coming. I know, right?
LeslieAnn just put another seven hours in last night, and five more hours since the morning show and she’s very happy with the results so far, but there’s a long way to go before she’s satisfied, if such a thing is possible. Check out the Cloister Recording “Enterview” to get the predictions about our virtual ashram made over 40 years ago, before virtual ashrams were even possible. Listen and be amazed!

Ashram Etiquette Rundown
http://youtu.be/RHmyKq1FWPE
Nobody seems interested in this subject, but the hell with it, I’m putting down my thoughts on Ashram Etiquette, and here it is, like it or not, interested or not, and keep in mind that I do NOT admin the Institute, not at all. It is run by the Cloister & Board with advisors. I make NONE of the day to day operating decisions, and none of this stuff is up to me; I insisted that it be set up that way, so I have no voting or actual power and, thanks to Daniel Ennis, Esq., it was set up that way.
What is Ashram Etiquette? It’s good manners expressed in the Ashram context, and that includes personal interactions and all the usages one makes of the Ashram, both Virtual and Brick & Mortar. Continue reading
WHERE IS EVERYBODY???
You’re in Prosperity Virtual Ashram in Second Life, and you’re on your way to some event, but problem is, you don’t know where that event is. Or, alternately, you’re in the Ashram and you want to find all the cool places to go. As you’ll soon see, I’ve been extraordinarily busy in the Ashram since The Shift. No problem locating them; I have a solution for you — merely go into Second Life and follow the links given below. You can copy & paste them into your Second Life address line, if you know how to find the address line at the top of the page. If you need help with this, ask for help. If you can’t ask for help, overcome ego. Continue reading
We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us
This was a very popular book back in the day of the Vietnam war, and is directed at same; yet the idea is so profound, it can be used to describe our psycho-emotional condition at any given moment.
How often have we heard the expression, “The Enemy Within”? We know from Shakespeare that every protagonist has within himself a “fatal flaw” which brings down kings, queens and dictators alike.
Wouldn’t you like a handle on that enemy within? Wouldn’t it be nice to conquer that self-destructive idiot that hides deep inside your darkest subconscious cavern?
Problem is, would you recognize the enemy if you saw him? And what if the enemy looked like you? What if the enemy was, in fact, you??? Continue reading
Denying the Form
In art, especially when you’re just learning the advanced levels, as I was at Otis Art Institute on that fateful day in 1967, you eventually learn about “denying the form”. What this means is that you create an illusion, generally a three-dimensional illusion on canvas, such as a landscape oil painting, and then you paint big numbers and letters all over it, jolting the viewer back to the two-dimensional canvas, rather than the deep landscape underneath it.
Well, it happened to my beautiful Ashram, as I predicted it must. I by no means want to discourage builders, but they must learn, not just go wild. Frank Lloyd Wright really had something there when he expressed the opinion that a house should not just be planted down anywhere in any shape — it should take into consideration the environment into which it is going. It’s not just the Purple Penis and the Flying Fairy Ball — in themselves there’s nothing wrong with them in a private region or property, but this is not private, and you are not encouraged to go wild with self-expression; it’s a place of work.
I know it seems absurd of me to point out things like that as glaring examples of inappropriate style in the Ashram, but those examples go a long way toward explaining what I mean here. Continue reading
