A School Time-Line

I have in my sweaty little digits a rather aged piece of parchment; a yellowed typewriter sheet with very dated typing, done by an IBM Selectric with a sans-serif type-ball, sometime in 1975, and lost for all the intervening years until this very morning as is, when my hand landed on it, stuffed in amongst a pile of long-forgotten papers…. The paper has just dates and a few words of notation on the side. I’ll elaborate that with commentary. I have photos of all these events, and they’re free to see on ihddb.com…

JUN 1964 — BACK FROM THE WAR — There never was ASA in Vietnam. I was a PFC Clerk-Typist Trainee 006, stationed permanently at Fort Devens, Mass. Ignore the sripes I wore at Fort Ord where I was a weapons instructor.

You’ll note my MOS designation: “006”. That’s only one number away from the infamous James Bond, “007”!!!

Double O Six meant “Licensed To Seriously Annoy”. I returned to a civilian job as a Remote Reader, which I quickly abandoned in favor of author — I landed a job as a writer at a fabulous .25 a word!

Our Practices In A Nutshell

“The King” at the Psychedelic Area of the Ashram. Behind him is the Sculpture Garden, Grampa Henry’s Diner — the home of Prosperity Path Poets — Hot Air Balloon Ride and the ever-popular Upper Crust Yacht Club, a jazz and blues venue.

Had a visit the other day from a longtime friend, who brought a friend with him to meet me. I was asked a commonly-asked question — what is it exactly that we do do???

Elvis Sighting at Prosperity Ashram

Elvis was at Club Oz last night; he sang several songs from the Angel Songbook, with which he is now very familiar. You can get his autograph most any night at Club Oz, but it’s not just Elvis — there are so many famous people here. You know, on This Side of the Veil, we get our pick of FDPs — Formerly Dead Performers. They appear here most every night, and respond well to audience requests, and at Gorby’s Place, you can hear Yma Sumac and Dave van Ronk on today’s performing schedule. You can find out more about the performances at the Ashram by living here. Meditation Pagodas are available with a $30 per month support pledge, but not many are left, the space is limited — we can only accommodate 100 avatars in each of the sims — we have two full sims atm — and work-space, healing space, meditation space, darshan space and population space are going fast. Be sure to ask about our upcoming “Come As You Were” Reincarnation Party. If you’ve never been reincarnated, you’re the only one so far. All the rest of us Bohdisattvas are on the Recycle Cycle, where all the Work is!!!

See You At The Top!!!

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.

Live at the Ashram — Corrected Text & Info!!!

May 6, 2013Uncategorizedashram, death, dying, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, path, prosperitygorebagg

Infinity Mall at Midnight is a stunningly lighted walking experience, and it’s totally safe, too. I sell fast-draw .45 colts at the Old Corral out by the homestead. And speaking of Homesteads, so many folks wanted to have their Avatars live and work at the Ashram, we had to buy an add-on to our formerly little — now quite large — island, which got stuck up against ours on the west side, making one huge island. With a little more support, we could obtain the other two connecting realms, and then you’d really see something!!! I’m working continually on Prosperity, so expect some changes — and they can happen quite abruptly. Problem is, there are at the moment only 19 more slots that are still available for occupancy in the New Wing. We’re rapidly running out of room, and that’s why we’re expanding our island, but we’re still going to run out of space very soon without additional support!

There are several levels of monthly support for the Ashram and, of course, corresponding rewards in housing on the Ashram for your Avatar…

I’ll give you the rundown: Continue reading →

Where Is Everyone???

If you’ve ever hunted for a public online video game of any kind, you’ll know the frustration of dealing with the rantings and bitching complaints over the comm channel, but if you’ve ever played in a public online game, you will be painfully aware of the effect.

It’s worse than playing with BOTS, especially if there’s voice chat.

Text is fine, tell me and our team where the enemy is, that’s fine, but please, please, no voice chat. You can avoid the voice spamming misery of team chat very simply by avoiding people altogether. Sounds terribly pleasant, doesn’t it?

Strategy For A New Life

SMOGOPS party member going through the Tunnel of Love & Rebirth, in 2Forts CTF.

We can use the art and science of video game self-reprogramming by first of all motivating ourselves to do the work required to burn off the Karmic grit that has accumulated over the past several millenia. In short, to get rid of the encrusted barnacles on your hull, you’ll need to go into drydock and yes, that means you have to get out of the water for awhile. There are some “hooks” that keep you where you are.

What are the Basic Hooks that keep a BOT, any BOT, including the one you’re wearing, marching toward the sea with the other lemmings?

Single-Player CTF???

April 19, 2013Uncategorizedctf, ej gold, game, gamer, gaming, godd games, single player, sologorebagg

Yes, it’s entirely possible. I’m working on it now, and it’s working well. You’re up against a small or large army of opponents — you place them where you want them, and select the easy, medium or hellspawn variety of guards for yourself and the opposite team. You then start the game and let ‘er rip. More about this when I have more time to dissert on subject.

See You At The Top!!!
