Come hang out with me in Second Life

If you haven’t experience Second Life yet, you really should. Talk about putting a whole new face on advaita! It’s a world… that exists purely in your imagination. You have a body… but it’s imaginary. It exists only on your computer screen. Are you the character that talks with your voice? Or not?

The folks at Advaita.org have even set up a place for advaitans to hang out. Here’s the location:

My name in SL is “Cameron Switchblade”. Come check it out, add me to your friends list, let’s hang out.

    When are you guys coming back? The VERY BEST Advaita songs were written by my second cousin, Jay Livingston:
    1. “Whatever will be will be” sung by the late Doris Day
    2. “The Theme for Mr Ed” sung by the famous talking horse Mr Ed.
    “A horse is a horse is a horse of course.”

    Hey Cameron, sorry i don’t have the second life game…

    When you guys will have another show, I have a question:

    When I drop the concept of free will, what remains is: not free will, but also not no free will. It seems there is just what is. Does this make any sense to you?

    Can these meat-world accomplishments –
    such as brilliant songwriting-
    translate into 2nd Life?

    in my experience the 2nd Life social
    “life” was simply determined by who
    you know and how much money
    you spend online. Oh yeah – and
    just how fast you can input text.

    i find 2nd Life more interesting
    in the abstract over any
    pixel-and-magnet mediated
    “experience”.

    on the other hand-
    the online “2ndary literature”,
    like that originating at
    4chan.org/b/ is full of critical tales of
    swashbuckling situationist deconstruction
    and creative meme-attacks on 2nd Life –
    pranks pulled by kids on 2nd Life’s egg-head gods

    Hey I finally installed the second life game… went to the location, and then, there was no-one there. Sounds like pure advaita, right?

  6. Cameron says:

    Michiel, if we get a few people interested we can set a time and all jump in together!

  7. Mark Carpenter says:

    Sounds cool Cameron, never got into second life when I tried it but this sounds like a neat way to use it.

    Heya Cam,

    Is the Advaita Show officially done? I keep checking in….I just learned what RSS was yesterday…but what are your thoughts? Caput? The whole “Second Life” idea REALLY freaks me out man!

  10. DansHand says:

    Yea… I went to some German island that looked like a brothel (sexy lingerie, and virtual woman in clad clothing). I couldn’t talk to them because of the languuage thing… so I just flexed my muscles and whistled alot.

    I did go to the Advaita Org island… nothing there, but looks cool.

    I was trying to add Cameron Switchblade to my address friends book but didn’t see how… there must be a way… so, if anyone ya know gets on… my thinking is you could fly over and hit them with a 2X4… righter cameron!

    HEY HEY HEY… hear’s an idea!!!! Cameron should setup a time for us to meet bob in this virtual space. It will the first of the kind… where we meet the guru/master in that pure awareness space we all share in… pure present awareness! Damn that’s it!!!

    Do it Cameron!!! You could even advertise and promote it as being the first… maybe not first but heck c’mon! Than after were done… we could go over to that German brothel and get “jiggey” with some hotties! That’s what Cameron’s thinking… yea ya are!

    Just went to Advaita Island. Really was “one without a
    second”. Just looking for some local, hot advaita action.

    HaHaHaHaHa. Jesus loves me yes I know cause the second life told me so. Is this going to cost me a enrollment fee later?

    I love virtual worlds, and I like the idea of a virtual world within a virtual world; I think that could be called a simulacrum. I downloaded the second life life, and I was all ready to get down and dirty only to find that I have major problems walking. I can sort of walk, but it’s like a majorly delayed reaction making it near impossible to do anything. Any tips? I sometimes have problems walking in my dreams, there could be a connection.

    Max, probably either a case of your PC being a bit old or your bandwidth not being sufficient.
