There will be a lot of new folks visiting the Ashram today, so I thought a short tour of some of the high points might be in order… Click the thingy to read more about it…

They say “You can’t take it with you”, but that’s total bullpucky. Of course you can. It just takes knowing exactly how to do it, and I’m prepared to tell you the secret of how to take it with you, and it’s not a joke. Ask Lydia.

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.

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

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?
Here I am at the Kung-Fu Natural Foods restaurant that I set up along lines decided by David Carradine; he had to drop out when the studio refused to let him take part. The paintings that month were by Schwaderer and Hirschfeld.
Within one month, Kung-Fu was in the black. Cost to set up, including licenses, inspections, equipment and supplies, $9,000 flat. I couldn’t do the same today for under $150,000.
Claude and I are currently examining and testing a Babylonian Radio. Technically speaking, it’s roughly equivalent to the GI Foxhole Radio of WW II. We’re thinking there’s a matching spark-gap transmitter, although this was clearly built as an interdimensional religious artifact, used for alpha/theta wave induction and Schumann Harmonics effects, similar to a Brane-Power amulet. Potentially, there’s no reason why we should not someday find an ancient SuperBeacon somewhere in the ancient ruins of Babylon.
Singing a duet with Ron Matthies, RCA Studios 1972, Al Schmidt Producer, Ritchie Schmidt & Dick Bogert, engineers. Album: RCA Live.
When I was a kid growing up in New York City during the 1940s and 50s, I went to Downtown Community School, a small private school that had, as its music teacher, Pete Seeger. I sang with Pete for 11 years both there and at Camp Woodland. I have published a book on it. Singing is a very important part of life, and if you don’t sing, you’re not getting everything out of life that you should be able to. Continue reading
Spent another six delightful hours on the angel orb, only now it’s called “Virtual Cathedral” as you can see on the loading screen. I’ll probably spend another hundred hours on it to get it just right. It contains all the angels necessary for a first-class convocation. You get two tiers to fill with angels, one God Almighty, plus all the gear you need to operate a full-scale cathedral, such as dozens of ammies, magical staff, wand, Matrix, SuperBeacon, Tesla Radio, plus miles and miles of catacombs, where you will find all manner of things for your Virtual Cathedral. Some things can be duped, but not angels. You will have to pick each one up individually, put it in your engie knapsack and carry, drop and place each angel in the chapel area, along with all the other paraphernalia of cathedral spaces. Paraphernalia used to mean “stuff”, like “bong” used to be what you did on the radiator to get the janitor to send up more heat. Like I said, you’ll find a large selection of Cathedral Paraphernalia. I’ll be completing Virtual Cathedral sometime this week, after which I’ll consider a Virtual Synagogue, Virtual Mosque, Virtual Temple with a much more generous selection of Gods and Goddesses, Virtual Pueblo Kiva, and Virtual Stonehenge with models made from actual Stonehenge artifacts. You can have any House of Worship from me; if enough folks ask for it, I’ll make it. If nobody asks for it and I want to do it, I’ll make it also, such as my latest fun project, Virtual Alchemical Laboratory.
See You At The Top!!!
