Am I My Avie?
by Archie
The other day in the cafeteria at
work, I was dreamily looking
out the second story window, watching some people chatting down there in the
parking lot. ...And I was There- if you know what I mean. Not in an eerie
way, but in a familiar way that kind of had me wishing I was home online in
There. How much am I affected by the comparison of the virtual to the
actual worlds I cohabitate? When I’m focused in one, the comparison
with other exists.
What’s the advantage?
In
my opinion there are some deeply profound advantages to this type of
understanding of self, others and situations. Having the experience of
interacting in There provides a background experience of seeing outside
one’s self, I think, in ways that battle game formats do not.
There is psychologically
important.
We Thereians, whether we’re aware
of it or not, are unique
human beings, in that never before has a mental point-of-view like this
existed. This perception of ourselves in an environment where we live
autonomously, where we learn to move by our own intrinsic motivation and no
other force has much power over us to make us do anything we don’t want to
do. The depth of this kind of “freedom with-in limits” seems to be having
strong effects on most other areas of my life.
How is it for you?
~peace~
