I was wondering about, after teleporting into the Shambahal Authentic Leadership booth, across the way from you.<br /><br />It is my first week in SL and I'm still trying to figure certain functions, protocols and methods on the site, but I can see how easy it can be to waaste one's time as well as make good use of it, once an avatar meets similar folks of similar minds. (My only complaint is how hard it is to build an avatar that actually reflects one's age, fitness and look - I'm not 24 years old any more and I think the youth orientation is deceptive to all: an avatar should reflect his RL counterpart - not their fantasy of how they want to look, at least for those of us with some years on us.) <br /><br />I went to your blog, and indeed, SL as a surrogate for RL is a very interesting concept. What I found interesting in your point of view as a Catholic, is that essentially SL is not different from Reality in that "the creator" made it, just as he did with the real world. This is of course, considering that "he made it" through the Linden folks and the participants.<br /><br />As a long time practicing educated buddhist, I would agree with the view that it is not different. But, we buddhists would take the view that, ("like the reflection of a full moon in the water" as the buddhist simile states), Second Life has no more inherent reality that Real Life. But, where we differ is that creation is within our minds - and that would be inclusive of the belief in a deity. <br /><br />I love comparative and contrasted epistimologies, and when it doesn't conflict with my schedule, I'll stop by for one of your chats.<br /><br />Take care, and I hope to speak with you in that other world (or on email) soon.<br /><br />Sincerely Philip S.
