Nina and the Mystic Twins...

Two weeks ago, I had a wonderful and enlightening experience with the Angel-Channeler Nina Lancaster and the enigmatic yet hyper-revealing Mystic Twins (Lagu Indigo and Stardove Choche). Nina invited me to have a personal one-and-one Spirit-Guide reading for me and how could I resist such a kind offer? Like most of the citizens of the Second Nations Assembly (see the posting about this group by scrolling down the blog), I knew that behind my Posthuman and Alien appearance, I was very much a biological humanoid entity that was seeking to be more grounded in my "real life" (RL). For confidentiality reasons, I will not reveal too much from what was discussed except to say that I have discovered new aspects about myself in Real Life (RL) that I can now channel towards moving towards my Higher Self.... Here are some photos of this transcendental yet intimate session that was held in Nina Lancaster's Healing Pool Centre for angelic transmissions and spirit-guided meditation...


Nina Lancaster began using the in-world voice chat in Second Life to open a channel between her Real and Virtual avatar self and that of the angelic realm...From this channel, her personal angelic spirit guide said that I was unable to directly access my higher self at my convenience due to my own lack of recognizing some of my own spirit guides which have been visible to me and have been trying over the years to make their presence known before my very own (biological) eyes... Her Guardian-Angel also said that I needed to
"notice my love"...at first I did not know what this meant but then a friend of Nina's magically arrived to help illuminate this cryptic observation......



Nina's friend is Lagu Indigo and she is one of the acclaimed Mystic Twins. Along with Nina, she declared that many of my spirit guides had incarnated as animals on Earth... Now everything became more clear. In my real and virtual lives, I have never been that connected with the animal kingdom (perhaps this might explain my desire to transcend the animalistic limitations of the physical humanoid form)... So in this sense, I never noticed that deep down my love should would also extend to animals - even those that might appear hostile at first... Still though, I had further questions... For example, what of my connection with the usual discarnate and disembodied consciouss-only entities? What about them? My desire(s) were still being focused on an exclusively platonic plane(s) of manifestation...



Once Lagu's Mystic Twin Stardove Choche arrived, I was able understand alot more about my current spiritual situation. The lesson learned from all this was that I was too focused on only channeling the more disembodied and virtualized spirit entities for guidance and now I will need to open my mind to the more "mundane" aspects of spirit manifestation. It turns out that one guide I thought was angelic in origin is actually a discarnate human who was a wise monk-like wizard (another "Merlin", perhaps?) in the Middle Ages (who actually is the namesake of a biblical Angel which added to my confusion but I think it is best if I do not reveal his name lest any public disclosure dilutes his direct guidance). I also found out that one of my Maternal Grandfather is also watching over me and the Twins gave me enough evidence to verify this claim in order to satisfy my occasional rationalist skepticism and unite me multi-dimensional heart, mind and pixel.
To add to all this, it turned out that in RL, I embody the Wolf-Spirit archetype persona - that of an occasional loner who craves deeper meaning and wisdom from others.
So from now on, I will expand my realm to include the "real" analog world alongside the "virtual" realms in order to achieve a quantum spiritual unity. I believe it was Ken Wilbur who in RL (Real Life) encouraged us to "transcend AND include" all of our accumulated realities throughout the Multiverse...

Seminar on Transhumanism and Religion Part 2 - Mormonism...



Above is a picture of Ahman Hax (Lincoln Cannon) during his presentation of Transfigurism (Mormon Transhumanism) in Second Life...

If you are reading this posting, you probably have already read Part 1 which is available directly below the position of this posting about the Mormon component of the seminar that I attended on April 29, 2007.

Ahman Hax was the third speaker of the afternoon and he represents the Mormon Transhumanist Association from Salt Lake City, Utah (in RL).

Their webpage is http://transfigurism.org

I tried to add Elder Hax to my first posting about this seminar but Livejournal told me that my posting was too large to post...I guess that unedited chat-history took too much text-space. I felt it necessary to post the entire chat history in order to give you a fuller sense of the theoretical ambience permeating this well-attended meeting.

I had posted so many text characters in my previous posting that I was not even able to provide proper photo captions describing each slide at the event.... So now, I will be blogging a 3-part miniseries...

Unfortunately, I had to retreat from SL into the more secular and pre-posthumanist world of RL ("Real" Life) at this time so I was unable to stay for the length of Ahman Hax's presentation. Maybe I will be able to interview Elder Hax in person about the Mormon view of Transhumanism...

Here is the official view of the Transfigurist movement that I managed to locate on the FAQ of their main website...

"What is the Mormon Transhumanist Association?

The Mormon Transhumanist Association is an international nonprofit organization that promotes charitable and working faith in physical salvation, as outlined in the Mormon Transhumanist Affirmation. We are affiliated with the World Transhumanist Association and support the Transhumanist Declaration. Although we are neither a religious organization nor affiliated with any religious organization, we support our members in their personal religious affiliations, and encourage them to adapt Transhumanism to their unique situations.

What is the relationship between Mormonism and Transhumanism?

Few have recognized the relationship between Mormonism and Transhumanism. On the one hand, Mormonism is a spiritual ideology of the Judeo-Christian tradition that advocates faith in God leading to salvation. On the other hand, Transhumanism is a mostly secular ideology that advocates ethical use of technology to extend human capabilities. However, Mormonism and Transhumanism are parallel and complementary in their views of the future: rapidly advancing knowledge, imminent fundamental changes in human nature, and ultimate transcendence of our current limitations. We provide more details in a document, Parallels and Complements between Mormonism and Transhumanism, originally presented at the Sunstone Symposium in Salt Lake City on 11 August 2006."

I will discuss these views in more detail in my commentary section also known as "Part 3"... I hope to have this online before sunrise...

Despite not being able to focus on Elder Hax's intriguing presentation, I did manage to take a few pictures showing his slides but I was unable to scoop up any text-bytes from my chat history for you...



For this last picture below, you can also see a cameo by the First Speaker, Giulio Perhaps (Giulio Prisco)...

Welcome to the Metaverse Matrix...





Greetings...

My name is Qyxxql Merlin...

I have chosen to renounce the Lindenesque lifestyle of Second Life in order to contemplate and meditate upon the Ultimate Reality behind this metaphysical metaverse grid...

As a gender-neutral virtual Posthuman, it is my goal to set an example by acting as a role model for those who wish to experience and reflect upon a healthy and "spiritual" lifestyle in Second Life where non-violence and uninhibited aesthetic evolution and mutation prevails...

It is my hope that my thoughts, deeds and actions will act as an inspirational catalyst for those wishing to adopt Extropian Transhumanism and Posthumanism into their daily lives - whether it be through virtuality or conventional "reality"...

If I do not appear to be blogging on a frequent basis, it is likely due to my desire to be more fully immersed and embedded into deeper meaning behind my Second Life...
