Every quarter we have a special workshop, and in the winter (it doesn’t take a capital) this particular winter, we had a very special deep learning look at social media and how it can help us get out there to those in spiritual need.
Well, now with the Corona virus, we’re not only in deep need, we’re in double-deep shit, and we have perhaps some hope of surviving through the next few months by some miracle.
Well, miracle or not, you only have so much time, and you might as well use it to full advantage, so how about signing up for the Easter Workshop?
If you’re dead by that time, you can still attend, but it won’t be on your charge-card. All those who have recently passed are offered free rides when they wander through the rest of the amusement park we call “reality”.
By the way, did you notice that I’m dressed as an Egyptian Princess, but I’m standing in the snow with a sleigh drawn by a red-nosed reindeer whose name we can only guess.
The idea of showing you this image is to demonstrate how an image could be generated that would get some attention on social media, using it as a button.
You could generate lots of screenshots that could help you market things — just a thought — and of course, you’re more than welcome to use our beautiful Ashram setting for your selfies.
Yes, the Kiss My Ass Workshop is set to happen again, this year it’s in June, and we’ll send out notices to those who insist on getting them — anyone who doesn’t get a notification, please say something!
My third-grade teacher, Miss Veder, used to start each class by crisply saying, “All absent please rise!” and yes, she had a sense of humor, although she was responsible for the decades-long reverb internal admonition, “Don’t paint outside the lines!” which is now all I do, and I do it for a living.
Painting outside the lines is what it’s all about, and the faster you learn that, the easier things will be when they get REALLY tough — it hasn’t happened yet, but it’s really, really close.
Please remember that I’ve been telling you about this time-to-come for YEARS now, and if you’ve done nothing to prepare for it, well — you were warned, long in advance, but it’s not too late, even now.
Soon it will be.
You can help set up an Emergency Food Garden on our acreage. We can grow food and ship it to you if you lose your food chain sources, but dammit, you better hurry.
We can build growing beds but we need a LOT of money to do it. We need plastic for our greenhouses — there are two of them — and we need FANS and temp controllers for them so we can grow all year long.
We need LIGHTS for our early seedlings and forced growing during off-seasons, and most of all, we need REAL SEEDS, not crap from the supermarket, and those cost money and need to be conserved and recycled, and they are, when we can get them.
Non-hybrid seeds are really rare.
Like I said, if you want us to grow emergency food for you, send a LOT of money NOW. We can do it, but we need some time to build the growing beds and to plant seedlings and get them going.
Some of the foods we can grow include walnuts and other nuts — our nut trees are 35 years old, and they produce greatly. We also have many apple trees, some pear trees, some cherry trees and a few high-producing fig trees whose fruit is local legendary.
I adjure you to gather in the virtual ashram, as often as you can, and leave your Avatar in there, preferably in an activity such as a spirit dance, rain dance or healing dance, of which there are always several.
Take screenshots and distribute them among your friends, tell them to gather in similar places — don’t invite everybody into the ashram or it will be total Hell.
Judiciously offer to help them find the ashram if you feel that they would be not only needful but also helpful — there are others in there who are in equal or greater need.
The whole idea here is to have plenty of CONTACT, which can include personal comments, prayers, chanting, singing, just about anything you can do as a group, remembering that it’s all about staying in good contact.
That’s actually what the American Book of the Dead is all about — staying in good contact. Without good contact, good communication is impossible, and actually any level of communication is out of reach.
The Street of Dreams was a showcase of how to build a shop in Second Life, and it had thousands of products in it, including original works by Tom X and Michele de Paris.
You could buy an image and put it on the wall of your Second Life home, which you should consider, if you don’t happen to have one.
Remember that as above, so below is also as below, so above, and that’s why you can have good experiences in the Ashram work their way over into your daily life to uplift and make you happier and healthier and better off in general. Upliftingness is the goal here.
“Xlanb;a]bikng!”
Oh, I know what you’re going to say — “That’s easy for YOU to say”, but it isn’t. It isn’t any easier for me to say that silly word than it would be for you, but the difference is, I tried to say it — did you?
Well, don’t criticize me for doing something you didn’t even THINK of doing.
I know what you’re going to say — “You made that word up just now, how could I possibly have thought of it?”
Well, there you go again, denying your natural telepathic ability, which you absolutely have, there’s no denying that.
By the way, there’s nothing stopping you from meeting someone at your gallery show in the Ashram, and offering a print of that thing on the wall, just don’t accept payment for it in-game, that’s against the rules.
Take a payment in paypal or credit card, and if you don’t know how, perhaps this is the very time to learn it …
Would you like a larger house?
Try this palace on for size. You can live in it, along with whatever servants you can muster up, for a fraction of what the same home would cost in Beverly Hills.
You can have up to 100 friends over for a formal dinner, and believe it or not, they all get served and, by the way, there’s a special lobster dinner that just came out onto the marketplace — you will be amazed.
There isn’t any cuisine you can name or imagine that someone hasn’t put up as edible foods on the Second Life marketplace.
And furnishings? You wouldn’t believe it, but I’m telling you, it’s impossible to NOT find any period piece you might care to own, and many of them are FULL PERM, allowing you to upholster any way you like, and resell it to others.
I know, I know, nobody has any money, but this isn’t MONEY, it’s Lindens, and they are cheap — you’re spending pennies at a time, but it does add up fast, if you’re in the marketplace with any level of competence.
There are people who make their living in Second Life — anything from REAL ESTATE or RENTALS to SHOPS and HOSTED MALLS and even HOTELS and AMUSEMENT PARKS and more — you can’t name the roadside attraction that isn’t for sale somewhere in Second Life.
This Roman Villa could be yours.
It’s fully furnished, except for the slave — that’s me.
Oh, I have my own real estate, but I’m selling this for my owner, as a personal favor. What I’m trying to tell you is, you need to spend some time watching the 1940 movie, “The Boys From Syracuse”, which is set in ancient Greece, although everyone is wearing Roman togas and the buildings are very far removed from Corinthian.
This fabulous villa is an amazing acquisition, and I’m licensed to resell it — I bought it FULL PERM, and I get to alter it any way I like, or sell it with furnishings as is.
I can’t resell it below its existing established market, meaning I can’t sell it cheaper than I bought it, but why would I?
The toga is my own design, and that you can buy at one of my ancient gear shops, all of which were closed while I built other stuff, but I’m getting back to it with a vengeance now that we’re in Corona virus season, and everybody needs a safe haven where they can gather without fear.
Well, maybe with fear, but not with fear of the Corona virus.
Plush toys have their own definite personalities, and if they don’t talk to you, it’s only because you aren’t listening.
It’s the same thing with meteorites. Not all of them, just a certain group of chondrites with fusion crust.
Those are Living Rocks, and they have a definite consciousness and a profound sense of self.
Your Living Rock Meteorite will speak to you, tell you what is to come, advise you on decisions and help you see the future clearly while being in the present fully.
How much is a Living Rock Meteorite? One dollar a gram. My favorites run about 550-650 grams and they are a wonder to behold.
I can create any silver item you can think of, but I won’t. Right now, I’m still making rings and earrings as you see in the photo above.
The set sells for $225. There is no discount. This is a total bitch to make, and if you want to save the money and don’t care how it comes out, go ahead and do it yourself.
I use 12 gauge sterling silver wire for the shank, and 16 gauge for the spiral-ended crosswire that holds the bead in place.
The hammered drops are even harder to make than it looks and you have to be careful not to make them sharp or snaggy, unless you want a lawsuit featuring a cashmere sweater.
This is my original 1959 ring design that won awards in many competitions. It is made entirely without heat or solder or glue, all with wire bending techniques that I developed over a period of more than half a century of silversmithing.
I ship anywhere, but YOU pay for the shipping & insurance.
Here’s a label from one of my many dozens of different herbal teas. Now, herbal teas have different properties, which suggest the names of the various teas.
I don’t actually make and send these out at this time, but it’s looking like we might have to do something like that in order to pay the bills.
We have to do everything online, and some things can’t be done online, like tasting a new tea, or putting a spice on a chicken and offering it as a sample, like they used to do in malls.
What is a mall???
You must have been born After the Great Plague of 2020.
This is the label and the selling image for my incense mixtures, all of which are in limbo at the moment, but they’re about to dig their way out of mothballs, to answer the emerging emergency!
I have a very large variety of spiritual incenses, and I’ll publish a list of them real soon.
In the meantime, you can call for info, and prices and such. I’ll work out anything I can to help you get going so you can earn some income in this life-emergency we call virusland.
If you need assistance of ANY kind related to the Corona virus, such as healing circle help or anything of the kind, don’t hesitate to ask — that’s what we’re here for.
Part of the Bodhisattva job is to be a Bodhisattva.
It ain’t easy, unless you’re built for it. Hey! Tune in to the next chapter, it’s on the way!
See You At The Top!!!
