Superstar Avatar-The Science of Celebration

An invitation to THE MARVELOUS

Hey you- Ecstatic Visionaries, Fun Seekers and WonderPunks...
Shake off that grey sleep, Oh, dreaming hearts and ignite!
Strange newness beckons to us, whispering- ‘cast off your old skin...’
Curtains, like old treasure maps, draw back to reveal The Play.
Together, shall we step into this ‘Theater in The Round’
this Mythic life, a Theater of the Marvelous...
and become wondrous?
Its time to get our Mojo on.
Where The Mythic Call is sounded, at last, Realities’ grip shall come ungrounded!
(and triumphantly all doubts confounded!)

Life as ART

23 years ago, I found a personally influential book titled-
‘The Theater of The Marvelous- Surrealism and The Contemporary Stage’ in the UCSC library and this morning, found myself intuitively reaching for it again on my top shelf. As I leafed through key pages and passages, it came back to me in a flash…what I had been striving for all these years, the quest I had been on all these years…..
‘what are the tools, the community, the players and the means by which to bring the wildly creative, gorgeous world we know is possible, into existence?’
How do we court Wonder, Awe and Sublimely Ridiculous Beauty- that life and The World may consciously become The Grand Art Project we know it to be?
Can a social movement be engineered?
We are finding each other, connecting to our companions of destiny, in these endeavors.
Collectively have honed our parts –our skills-our talents, our ability to improv on any theme.
We took it on the road, without rehearsal, and opened the portal magnificently.
All Signs point to yes.
Its upon us.
The ominous boom-boom-boom of great drums beats in the distance, looming shadows of Global this and that bear down upon us...
..but under it, if you listen, as i know most of you have, you can hear it...
another song, underneath it...one most melodic and wondrous strange, one that quickens the pulse and opens the heart...
The Mythic Call has sounded and we respond accordingly to our natures, or are we?
Are we truly rising to the call Evolution has put on our tables?
Are we doing the best we can in riding out to meet the current challenges with our ‘Mystic Fire’ tucked close at hand, our hearts courageous, our visions blazing, our allies close by and our eyes intent on the rising dawn before us?
For ‘We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams...’ We are the mingling blodlines of those that came before us….
We are the Mythmakers, the Ecstatic Technopriests, Dakini Bambinis, Priestesses, Artists and Bards, Bacchantes and Dionysian Lovers of Truth and Beauty, the children of beatniks and hippies, seekers and activists.
In our blood we can hear the call, the invitation to do miracles...if we have the courage to rise to it!
We are part of a conscious tradition which has always brought new light in through the cracks of the old….and as a band of merry fools and archetypally charged evolutionary agents, we inhabit ART as our vehicle for serving up invitational, magical, participatory transformative experiences.
The joy we feel when we’re together accelerates our inner fire and ignites those around us.
We are The Players of The Marvelous and a New Game emerges from our play.
This is becoming a very tangible reality now.
The Finite Game of the old world, which is defined by winners and losers, is giving way to the far more attractive and appealing Infinite Game, which is defined by increasing quality of play for all players…. Lets stay the course….and throw the Party At The End of Time we really do get to play mini golf and wear tiny hats.

Ode to the New World

2005-06-22T19:43:00.000-07:00

Ode to the New World

In our slumber
We dreamt the starry gold was rising in the blood
doilies and punch bowls laid out for the Big Party
Mother was calling us …
awakening in The Heart of Everything
----------
Listen Now friends to the calling
Listen to the wind in the fields ,
Listen to the owls cry at midnight.

....listen for the pre-dawn bells
The dreaming blossoms in the darkness
Heavy with early morning dew

Friends, signs of a glad making miracle are upon us!
the threads of all Great Works everywhere are falling into alignment-
the curtains draw back,
the orchestra tuning itself from the void,
the clowns and shamans and be-tricycled midgets
of The Great Medicine Show called EARTH
spin on red and white hyperspheres,
laughing

See There! the circus tents of hyperluminal canvas
and digitally enhanced intention
unfurling like Lotus Blossoms in urban desert landscapes

Star Light Ambassadors, listen!
(in hushed whispers..)
Maiden Starry Mother leads us to dance with the world and says “all acts of pleasure and BEAUTY are my rituals…”

Look to the Children of the moon and flowers that dwell
within the twilight essence of shining stones and moist grottoes,
embodied of the Gaian Heart of Beauty .....
they, who will sing with thee of the New World Revels!

Look to the spirit of the Eternally Green
the Joy- bringers of the May Faire
In living clelbrations, where Maiden Mother Whispers of things found and joined

Of healing and soft victories where she fills us with moments of remembrance when all is brought to right !

Gratitude and Praise!
Look to those inebriated of the Goddess that have,
In hot-tongued pursuit of Loves’ awakening, opened the way!

sing gratitude and praise to all those aflame with the Shekinah!

Look to your mastery as Star Pilots Eternal!
for You are all here by appointment to the star.

Look To Love-
for you’re Love Engines, the lot of you,
naughty children lusting for GodLoveGoddessLightPower!

So realize The Dream of Manifest Goodness
rising within you-here, nowhere and everywhere….
The Waking Dream of I AM Love,
firm and soft, deep and wide, powerful and rich,
silent and gloriously thundering Lovelies,

That we may we rise together and fill with New Light expanding the joy of Creations Grand Play-

In these things ,you will find the subtle mechanics of The Ship,
the avatar body and collective avatar,
present and still, breathing and conscious,

The body and avatar, dynamic, collectively alive with PLay rainbow light.
In Star light.
Moon light.
Sunlight

Sealed with the Suns Blessing-
Thundering haunches and winged hissing coils
furling and arching across the arch of time
feathered rainbow light above and flashing swift strength in the Wood

If we are Truly humbled and Truly bold enough to behold THAT magnificence within our cells We shall Rise together as One Great Central Sun

Gratitude and Praise!

Sealed by The Stars Blessing-

Say:

I am the secret rising dawn,
blowing softly upon crashing shores
a shining wind from a boundless space

I am empty so that I may receive Creations’ Grace

Rose Dawn singing in a Golden void
I Shine with light bringing gladness,
to my fellow stars on this Emerald and Sappire Earth Ship!

I Spill forth
Radiant with becoming!

Ecstatically Joined,
we are a new-hued wonder,
magnificent to behold….

And The SuperStar Avatar Says-
Here, In The Heart of It All,
I shall lose myself to Starry Infinity
with my Brothers and Sisters and so gain my true self.

Journey in the woods

2005-05-31T22:28:00.000-07:00

rough version...needs second half and editing-
----------------
Montgomery woods were fertile and bursting with spring life.
New rains transformed the wood into an idyllic scene straight out of the film- Legend…small pools, streams and still blue green chalices of cool water interspersed the old growth redwood grove.
Lush banks of moss and clusters of woodland ferns completed the perfect landscape.
I kept blinking, filled with amazement- wonder..
The sight before me looked so ‘crafted’, so intentionally landscaped!
(very likely tended by expert Gnome hands..)
The twists and turns of the streams that ran through the wood made no sense-
Small paths and bridges appeared out of nowhere and abruptly ended as soon as they appeared.
It was a hilarious task attempting to make sense of any these trails, for much of the wood was soft with a kind of loamy mud, just beneath the moss and woodland floor…thereby making it difficult to continue down any one path.
You could almost hear the faeries having a ripe ole time of it, watching the humans curse and get increasingly perplexed and flustered, wandering in circles to avoid muddy feet.
Giggling from behind ancient, tall trees.
A couple of large old redwoods had toppled over, who knows how long ago, presenting the incredibly strange sight of very large, yet shallow widespread root structures.
A mass of dark, intertwined rooty shapes spread out radially in every direction…looking like something from Rodin’s Gate of Hell…these mammoth mandalas spreading outwards… providing a striking contrast to the soft lushness of the surrounding green faery playground.

Daylight streamed through the highest branches of the old growth trees,
reminding me of Cathedral stained glass, my urban Avatar had comment here
“cliché, dude...”
But my Wonder Avatar remained steadfast in observation….
“This very sight is the inspiration behind why stained glass exists…”

Sunlight lightly touching down on a pools and small plump islands of moss and ferns, soft twilight embraced the rest.

Very occasionally, a small family would appear and disappear briefly, intent on reaching some important seeming destination…plodding along in ordered regiments, hardly pausing to take notice of anything around them.
Strangely immune to the dilemma of The Winding Paths.

This was a perfect destination for a Journey into The Mystery.
An ideal setting to lose ones’ self into the embrace of Nature.
The course was set to dissolve into the wisdom and architecture of The Emerald Kingdom.
Everything felt in alignment.

Here, in this exquisitely crafted fantasy world, the pulse of Divine Truth hummed
behind everything. Every glance reminded you, opened you, invited you to go further….Inside
The living spirit of The Mother emanated from everything.
The stillness of the wood was alive with her Love.
A love now softly dissolving my city edge and smartness
Here, Mother was Matter manifested.

I had come to reconnect, to pay homage, to offer myself to the harmony of Natures’ Temple.
Let it go.
Let it in.
The familiar ritual of laying the ego at the Temple Door occurred with only some physical discomfort….
The shamanic act of stepping sideways between worlds always has accompanying side effects.
Breath and Center.
Focus on Gratitude and Trust.
Then the cascade of dimensional frequencies.
Slowly, rising up like a strange Sun in the interior of my being,
The invitation of the Blue Friends extended itself through the mycelium of me.
Welcome, welcome ancient beings beyond time and space.
Welcome to our mind.

Merging with a consciousness like a diamond web, extending through vistas strange and beautiful….a hyperdimensional monorail system pulled up on the carport of my being, poised for embarking.

This voyage, however, was not meant to deliver me into the vast interior of Soul realms and cosmic destinations.
This voyage was a collaboration scripted by time, space, Nature and Creation itself.
This perfect point in Indra’s Web was a scripted appointment to fully witness the grandeur of This Forests Truth.

I stood in stillness, perfectly straight…
Stillness ebbed and flowed, in and around me.
Cloaking me in a tangible, velvety Royal Purple stillness.
My feet took root and my crown charka extended into the rays of the Sun beaming down through the tall giants.
I became a tree myself, joining with the assembled Grove.
I opened the conduit of my being and I received the code of Divine Will and Intelligence from the Suns Rays.
I felt the essence of me, my soul blueprint… travel along the lines of light and commune with the Father.
Soul spring cleaning, cellular level attunement with the Will of Creation.
Transmissions of clarity and great assistance were offered instantaneously.

Sparks of the suns’ being illuminated the parts of me still dark and cold with winter.
The Sun crowned me, smiling, and sent me off to play.

Time is funny in Journey land.
There is no way to recount what happened when nor does it really matter.
Recounting essence is the key here, yes.

I do recall clearly though, the Sun wanted me to visit the Being That Lived in The Glade.

And with those words, suddenly, the most secret part of the wood.
Opened before me.

Suddenly all the twisty streams and paths led here, to this scene, this Secret Glade…..nestled between two fernclad cliffs…the deepest deep pool of emerald blue water.
Worn stones sat like wisewomen clad in moss ponchos around the edge of this pool.

The Forests Heart.

That is what was said to me when I first heard the Wyrrding sound.
The sound that accompanies the opening of The Gates of Faery.

The Wyrrding sparkle glamour of NeverLand and Wonders Untold, blowing upside down and backwards.
The Shining sound that shimmers from unearthly halls up the great tree…
Great branches touching on the shores of our world.
It is a sound that changes you forever and, like the fruit of the Goblin Market, haunts your days for want of hearing it again.
It is a sound impossible to hear with human ears and impossible to recreate…
Though the part of us that is Faery still can hear it, if we truly long for it and allow ourselves to open…to remember the part of us long called away by reason and logic, order and sense.

They ask for clear sight into your souls purpose, in exchange for passage.
They request this, unflinchingly.
I presented the artwork of me, literally with arms outstretched, to the swirl of electric consciousnesses swirling around me…
I felt myself pricked and probed on incredibly intimate levels..

All the while…ever so faint, wild lyric strains and fierce melodies infused everything …blowing through the heart of me like a Gale force.

Longing and Beauty, shimmering memories, ecstatic love and Beauty…all sing and play here,,,dappled memories in our cells, pulling us, tugging at our Mortal Nature….temptation of Divine possibility cascading

Mingling bloodlines, acknowledging the part of me that never compromised my Immortal Spirit for want of knowing the physical world.

The Abundance League
Championing the Social Architecture of Sustainability
(A House of The SuperStar Nation)

Presents -

The Abundance Showcase
A Monthly Gathering for Sharing Abundant Living Solutions and exploring the Social Dimension of Sustainability.

Where:
Mission Control, 2519 Mission Street @ 21st

When:
The third Thursday of every month from 6:00-10:00pm.

Calling all Social Scientists, Sustainability Buffs, Environmental Champions, Social Justice Heroes,
Community Stewards and all Cocreators who care about fostering Collective Evolution!

Are you someone who has successfully implemented a method for Abundant Living?
Do you want to learn more about the connection between social behavior and sustainability?
Are you a Social Architect with valuable findings to share about HOW IT WORKS?
Have you found that Abundant Living means daily practice?
Are you tired of bitching about social problems and want solutions now?
Then you are already a member!
Come out and meet your peers!

Statement
We have discovered that all beings become Stewards of Abundance through direct participation in experiences that reward abundant behavior.

Our Mission
In support of our findings, our mission is to foster adoption of Abundant Living practices through Direct Experience.

Event Format:
There are two parallel tracks at The Abundance Showcase. The main room hosts a formal program including the Announcements, Keynote, and Expressions segments. An adjoining room allows you the space, tools, and permission to connect with others. You are free to quietly move between tracks.

Formal Program
6:00-7:00 Welcome – orientation, mingling, refreshments
7:00-7:30 Announcements – open mike, take the floor for up to five minutes to share initiatives, solutions or victories

8:00-9:00 Expressions – art, poetry or music to honor and inspire your work
9:00-10:00 Farewell – full-throttle mingling throughout the space until 10:00

Roundtable Discussions
The Abundance Showcase can also accommodate roundtable discussions in a third room. If you’d like an in-depth discussion of a topic, host a Roundtable Discussion. We provide the room, you invite participants and host the discussion. Facilitation can be provided.

What the heck is Abundant Living?
It’s simple; we can get the most out of life and create a sustainable world by helping each other in simple ways every day!

Abundant Living is a set of social practices that if embraced by a community lead to an unusual state of material and experiential abundance. It operates through social scripts freely offered by proponents that unlock personal and collective potential. It’s a sustainable complement to a market based society that makes rewarding relationships, healthy communities, and transformational personal experiences scarce. It takes its inspiration from the Latin origin of the word community, which literally means, “to give among each other”.

The Abundance League Supports:

· Authentic representation of your Social Self
oAuthentic dress, speech, and gesture- come as the Social Architect you truly are!
Authentic representation of Personal Value

Representation of your personal value, talents and project
·Authentic participation in community
Social connectedness, acceptance, and diversity

· The Sharing of Abundance
Creative expression by and for members
Friendliness, conviviality, and fun for all

The Dynamics of Abundant Social Solutions-
Members freely giving and receiving assistance to each other
Meaningful, high quality social interactions
Stewardship of abundant social behavior

· The Creation and Sharing of Direct Experiences-
Fostering collaboration by matching your needs to resources Celebration of our abundant solutions and victories

Manifesto To Beauty- Circa 1918

2005-05-31T21:42:00.000-07:00

A Manifesto to Beauty
(written for the Weimar Berlin Kinky Salon Cabaret)

We , the children of Ecstatic Sight
raise up this praise to Beauty

A Gold love letter
Penned with quicksilver
Ignited in adoration-

Here, in the heart of us,
The Signal Is Received!

Yes, Anima Divine !
We are that radiant fever-
Rallying all swollen desires
back to Eternal Revelation!

We cry out … fueled by
strange exhalations from her womb
….Delphic Communion in dark chambers!

Here! A winged perfume brushes over us
And the Starry Veil lifted -
As a darkened wood
Reveals lovers entwined

Hand of the Absolute;
smite us with silent revery!
take our language !

True Sight return to us,
and restore Beauty’s inner graceScott Levkoff

SuperStar Avatar as a New Myth

2005-02-07T13:02:00.000-08:00

Yes, SuperStar Avatar is a new myth..
one that supports the emergence of a harmonious, mutually assurred -self-actualiztion society(thanks neal) by providing an approach with sufficient, fluidic functionality to enable this transition-

""Historian Arnold Toynbee observed that the 21 civilizations he studied all collapsed for the same reason: their inability to adapt to changes taking place either within them or surrounding them. Like Joseph Campbell, Toynbee noted the importance of myth in shaping the future of a civilization. For from the myth springs the vision of new possibilities. Each nation, each culture tells such an overarching story about itself. But when great changes take place, a new myth is required." These words you will find on the back cover of a beautiful book by Norie Huddle called Butterfly, It was written to help usher in what she calls the "Butterfly Era" of global civilization. "

Dark of the winter

2005-01-15T10:15:00.001-08:00

man oh man...
has it been dark and cold
so much stress in holding fast to our vision...

"darkest before the dawn"...

yeah, all that ....cheap cliches...
Mission Control is impossible to heat, mutha!!!

we swore we would not be here another winter
.....well, you do what you gotta do..

good news is, we've got the SA pitch pretty well nailed down which means its time to start
sharing the vision with anyone interested
i'm feeling drawn to folks like The Steiner Foundation and The Joseph Campbell Foundation...they'll have the smarts to understand what it is we've created...
they have the background to see the structure of SA as something robust ...
something viable for taking on the current MYTH of scarcity and lack that operates in the world...

for it is on this level that any truly social movement must be based
not personal, not agenda...but in hosting a functional dialogue with the Nature of Reality itself that everyone can join in....

Superstar invites everyone to share their findings as social scientists, which we ALL ARE, merely by being in the world together.....
it asks of us to share...
'what works, what does not work?
what makes your soul sing, your heart ping?????'

it invites us to ask questions that have no answers and to join in The Play that has no ending

its time to stand behind our convivtions of building a world based on Love, Truth, Beauty and committment to a cocreative process...

commit ourselves to creating and sharing meaningful experiences for one another
commit ourselves to exploring on a tangible level how to ground the new reality instead of talking about it...

i feel my Mystic Fire building
i feel the flame of my True Will pooling behind my eyes, my heart...
ready to shine forth clear intent

why do i, at times, still feel ashamed to reveal and hold my True Power
openly and honestly?
to share my Love of Creation, God, Goddess, Play and Celebration freely?
why do i still feel mistrust for sharing and speaking and acting from this place of boldness they fill me with?

SuperStar Foundation Statement

2005-01-15T10:15:00.000-08:00

The value of SuperStar Avatar as a ‘Cultural Transformation Engine’ is founded on three essential elements-

1. The SA platform* is based on the universal components of narrative structure.
SA utilizes the basic components of narrative to enable users to ‘script’ truly social experiences for themselves in ways that no ‘online’ social networking tool can allow.
The use of narrative components allows SA to integrate directly into people’s lives rather than act as a social networking tool ‘supplement’.
SA uses these basic narrative components as the ‘standards of representation’ ( a sort of unifying ‘common ground) that support all social interaction and exchange within the SA network.
(* The SA platform can also be referred to as ‘social operating system’ or ‘lifestyle utility’ )

2. Puts the user front and center; the SA tools functionally position the user as the ‘author’ of his or her own social resources, networks, and experiences.
The functional aspects of Superstar Avatars’ profiling, networking and experience scripting tools enable the user to operate at the center of his or her own experience in both design and principle.
By design, SA’s standards act as a common language, which connects and empowers individuals and communities.
On the individual level, use of these standards helps users to identify and represent their value (tangible and intangible resources.)
On the collective level, these standards enable users to engage this value in social exchange, as well as assess it in relationship to their networks. This allows for more empowered, lasting and meaningful experiences.
Collaboration between individuals and communities, as well as customization and open interpretation, occurs on deeper and deeper levels as these standards of exchange continue to be adopted into the fabric of existing social architectures.

3. SuperStar Avatar provides access to successful social dynamic models, solutions and principles.
SA presents simple yet powerful models of collective governance, trust mechanisms and distributed accountability cultivated from years of ground work studying, isolating and comparing the dynamics of successful social models currently in use by many diverse communities.
Users are saved much time and effort in scripting and executing their own experiences through use of these proven social dynamics.
With respect to fostering sustainable social behavior, SA acts as a sort of ‘Trojan Horse’
by introducing the principles of effective social models such as respect, distributed accountability and mutual support as mere components of a bigger picture: creating rewarding, meaningful experiences.

As a ‘cultural transformation engine’:
SA enables a sustainable transition from a society primarily based on the consumption of myths and stories to one that self-generates and inhabits new ones.
· SA presents a New Myth for our times that facilitates direct experience of personal and collective rejuvenation, abundance and value and rewards these pursuits as tangibly rewarding, highly sustainable and mutually supportive...
· SuperStar Avatar, as a New Cultural Paradigm (Myth), is designed to enable a true experience economy.

StarPilot Journey for SOFT party, June 19th

2004-06-23T10:15:00.000-07:00

Hop Aboard The Lotus Light Ship-

I set out to write a piece to share in dedication to all things FIRM, all things solid , sturdy, substantial and strong in nature-
A love letter compliment to the evenings theme, a yang dang doodle to the Yinny yin yin of SOFT (the theme of the June 19th SOFT party)
Many times over the past few days, riding the fulcrum of the years turning, Solstice time-the longest night of the year when the cycle of winter sits in the perfect reflection of the Sun’s big day, I was swung-pulled-
Back and forth, finding myself reflected in the compliment of forces, desiring to write something to share, something from the heart, to the heart…..
A piece expressing the Gravity my heart was exerting in oscillatory waves pulsing in perfect sets, through me from the Heart of the Sun….
So reading this now, releasing intention and thought to the flow of the hearts’ dictate, here in the walls of this space, opening, here in the essence of every candle and every light placed, woven throughout this physical chalice of Mission Control…..can you taste it?
Starlight drizzled over everything?
(Are we in? Is everbody in?
Bring the breath and the body to present awareness, here snuggled and snuzzly and cuddly communion..are we together?)
Shall we travel?
Shall we build a ship together and sail into the heart of Soft’s Creation?
Into the ever deepening chambers of the Hearts’ Revelation?
Then firm your mind in stillness.
Letting go, letting go, within, within within the sound of this voice, not trancing out, not hypnotized...... but still and present and breathing gently.
The party magic bus is boarding.
Follow the sound of the msuic...can you hear it?
The Lotus Light Ship is arriving to take us upstream where the party never ends, the people are always strange and beautiful, where the punch flows straight from the fountain of Youth, celestial orchestras pulsing diamond studded hits remixed by gnostic beat masters and every glance, every dance move, every flirtatious glance is a foundation stone in the New World Creation unfolding right here now!
The Ship, is the body, present and still, breathing and conscious,
The SHip, is the body, dynamic, alive with PLay
Filling, flowing and cycling with rainbow light.
The Ship is the intention we share to know ourselves anew, in embodied relationship to each others’ glory-
The body of the ship, which we are now joining, loving into view,
Is the collective desire of all Love Engines, everywhere, in all our chests, realizing The Dream of Manifest Goodness-
And Love, firm and soft, deep and wide, powerful and rich, silent and gloriously thundering is delivering us into the perfect moment where we are now realizing that everything we do and feel and accept is in perfect alignment.
In perfect alignment…
The gifts of doubt and fear and self-lovelessness drawing us back into perfect alignment,
Shadow weighing in our hearts, a gift!,
drawing us back ever into perfect alignment…
For in our willingness to Love Love back, rising to meet it, to behold Loves’ working in our own being, we inherit our Mastery as Star Pilots Eternal!
Know This.
You are here by appointment to the star.
In hearing this, acknowledge the part of you that is ready to hear this and thus claim your inheritance!
We are becoming Star Light Ambassadors to the culture that was by embodying the eternal culture that is Here Now in perfect alignment as US reveling… Star Kin …Here, in the Heart of it all!
And that, my friends, is a very good thing.
Mind, come back to the heart,
mind, bow before the hearts brilliance!
Body, come kneel within the hearts chambers and make love here!
In Love, in perfect balance with The Grand Play
This unfolding community of Star Kin, Sun Priests, Sex-Kitten Priestesses, Bourbon Warriors, Ecstatic Terrorists all…..

Here, In The Heart of It All, I shall lose myself to Infinity with my Brothers and Sisters and so gain my true self.

SuperStar VS. BurningMan, some thoughts

2004-06-23T09:36:00.000-07:00

The following are thoughts prompted by questions from a friend-
the answers directly address how the BurningMan Festival helped to influence the inception of SuperStar Avatar
----------------------------------------------------------
--How did your first BM experience change your life?

The first time coming onto the desert playa, sunset with a warm, sage wind blowing and the soft purple hills in the distance…It felt like coming home to something I had lost or forgotten. I remember feeling this way and thinking, ‘oh this is what it feels like when people say that…’
…was this a feeling of longing based on hopes and ideals, projected forward onto a festival which I had heard so much about over the years?
…or a premonition of what was to come later that week?
My experience that first week at Bman showed me that a fluid kind of social structure based on the celebration/ support of expression based activities was not only wonderful but a profoundly healing thing.
The collective art piece that is the BMAN city was immediately in my mind, a grounded reflection of peoples’ need for social architectures that truly put the experience of being social in the forefront of the design.
Everywhere you looked in the city was the sign of intention.
Intent to connect, share , exchange, celebrate, facilitate experience of the moment! Everywhere you went was some intentional art piece of sign or project created with the purpose of invoking a very real if not ephemeral moment of beingness dedicated to being present, alive, embodied and awake.

Every aspect of what I brought to this Autonomous Zone of Creativity and Celebration gave me an immediate feedback mirror.
Every action had its appropriate reaction, which, in the highly intentionalized environment of BMAN reverberated deeper than I could have ever expected.
All my actions, whether noble, selfish, altruistic, etc. were clearly met with immediate results far quicker than in the ‘normal’world.
It was clear that my quality of play was a direct reflection of how I played.
(paraphrasing James Carse-Infinite and Finite Games)
By the time of the festivals’ climactic moment (the burn), I had decided to steer my way directly into the center of the cities blueprint, realizing if this city was a collective manifestation of intent….i would place myself in what I perceived to be the intentional center.
That year the city was shaped like a parabolic mirror…with the figure of the man in the direct center of ‘the array’, pointed out to the wide open space of the desert. I took myself out away from the city directly on the 12 o’clock meridian of the cities top axis, placing myself between the collective intent of the 4 mile wide design and the openness of the desert.
When the man burned that night, I had the most profound experience of my life….transformative, exhilarating, rejuvenating and positively the most affirming regarding the nature/power of collective intent when made manifest in the actual structure of a social space.

--What rituals have you participated in (including the burning of the
man/temples) that have made an impact, and how?

The next year I was to launch a project called The Eternal Return, a large scale interactive installation performance based on the narrative of Rebirth.
If the figure central to the festival narrative, The Man, was to die at the center of this collective, intentionalized structure, why should we not celebrate a moment dedicated to the rebirth of this ‘collective hero-uber shaman’ now smoldering as a 30 ft. wide pit of ashes?
Where was the Phoenix, the Lotus to spring forth from the dry earth of the playa?
So, with 8 months preparation, I initiated a large scale project with which some 5o odd people built props, costumes, set pieces, a large mandala stage, a 360ft crop circle enscribed on the playa with natural ore, a mechanical lotus sculpture to sit in the center of the stage, complex choreography for dancers and performers, etc.
We placed ourselves as the ‘center attraction’ of ‘The Community Dance’ rave and gathered an audience of a couple thousand to witness the theatrics, fire spinning, dance performance and dozens of costumed characters enacting stories in spectacle style in front of the closed lotus sculpture, central to the narrative. The spectacle was to build up to a climactic finale when it was to open in a shower of light effects and sparks.
In short, it barely opened due to mechanical failures and the Narrative climax that night was to remain forever a mystery. Or so I thought!
In retrospect, much of the magic I had experienced the year before was lost to me this next year because I was so stuck in my head I could not be present to play and interact with the intention of all those around me.
I could not ‘cocreate’ with all the other visions and ideas and moments of beauty others had intentionally prepared for the desert as well.
It was a powerful lesson for me ……for that night was born my dedication to finding a science of celebration that equally supported both the boldness of personal vision with the mechanisms for collaborating with others.
My dedication to supporting a cocreative model based on the sharing of creative expression and personally determined VALUE……process based exploration, collaboratory process…not just more dogma product, material spiritualiasm, idealogical warfare, etc.
It is interesting to see how Bman steers clear of too narrowly defining what it is that they are actually hosting.

--What motivates you to return each year?

As I have dedicated myself now to the grounded manifestation of a model inspired from these experiences…..a model for everyone and everywhere, not chained to any environment or community, not for the artist elite or the cultural creative set…..i go to Bman now as a way to check in with what that collective is doing.
In many ways it appears to me that many folks that go try to recapture the magic of their first visit, rather that try to build on what they experienced…
The themes which the festival embraces each year seem more like costume dress codes than truly narrative structures upon which the city as an intentional whole can really participate with.
It is a criticism of this festival that there is a lack of creative structure in which people can truly collaborate and interact. Though, publicly, I do not offer criticism as such for it would do no good. Instead, I work toward providing narrative / creative tools with which I hope the citizens of Black Rock can use to enhance and enrich their experience.

This year, The Vault of Heaven has personal appeal to me as one of the central motifs of the narrative of my ‘cocreative methodology’ (SuperStar Avatar)
Uses is the STAR.

When you went for the first time, what were you
seeking?
What kind of experience were you looking to create for yourself or
other participants?

In truth, the first time I went I was rather skeptical of what I might find.
When I was arriving finally, the vista, the layout of the city itself existing completely in the vast nothingness….and then shortly after arriving….
I felt a sort of ‘permission’ hovering in the air and lingering over everything.
A permission which gave me the cue that ‘yes’ this is the space and the time in which you can open up….stretch your limitation, try new things…”
I felt the openness of the citizens immediately, felt the freedom that people gave themselves here, at the Pilgrimages end in Black Rock City Temple.

It was exactly as if the city was a highly intentionalized gameboard upon which all participants were grand players in a movie of their own creation.
This, being an activity to which I had as an artist and event producer already spent a great deal of time pursuing in my life….
‘Celebration of the Ecstatic Moment’….the field of Popular Entertainment and interactive spectacle performance in which the act and action of every celebrant orchestrated to be felt by the others.

One successful aspect of BMAN which is clearly apparent after attending first time, is that second time attendants have learned ‘the rules’ of the gameboard,
so to speak and are eager to return in a way that enables play on a deeper level.
My story of returning a second year is mirrored by many that have gone repeat times.
Stories of epic work burnouts and community fall-outs have occurred by those that return so anxious to participate that they forget that much of the magic of this gameboard is found in the fleeting, ephemeral moments in which you share space with other players on the board, if for only fleeting moments,
with total strangers….touching something so unique and powerful, completely your own to share …
Perfect moments that pass and will never happen again.
Moments in which the Art of Being seems unquestionably to be the whole point of this Grand, Infinite Game of Celebration.
The City of Bman- this gameboard, shimmering into view like some conjured mirage for one week, a miracle to some, an intentional creation borne of months of sweaty labor to others.

Could it be that the goal of the Infinite Model of Collective Social Endeavouring is to generate direct experience/ stories of celebration, beauty and Novelty…without end?

SUperStar at PlaNet Work Conference

2004-06-09T17:17:00.000-07:00

Report on The PlaNet Work Conference-
Polly and Scott Present SuperStar Avatar to The Geek Chic

The Planetwork Interactive
Planetwork.net
At the San Francisco Presidio
June 5 - 6, 2004
“Join innovators from the world of information technology, peace and social justice activists, environmental visionaries, independent media pioneers and many others to explore how social networks, information technologies and the Internet can play a key role in…”
-----------------------
Now I must first point out, dear readers, the large N in PlaNet Workers.
(though on our conference badges the T had been left out to aptly read- PlaNe Workers)
Hmmmm……an omen that our FUN presentation was needed)
Now, The topic of our presentation, which was the first chosen from 24 entries, was entitled:
“Social Architecture for The Masses- Lets Make It fun!”
Yeah. That’s right. Hip factor And Sex Appeal & Social Networking Technology.
…gets you the the top, baby!

Our intention was to present ‘the challenge in bringing social networking tools into the real world’, present our solution (SuperStar Avatar-Nation), and connect with new talent and resources for moving the project forward. (Funding, programmers, biz advice, etc)
Rolling bags at the ready, we arrived via cab to the fog enshrouded Presidio Conference Center; costumes, disco light, Senor Coconut CD and laptop presentation at the ready.
It had been a looooong week preparing presentations, chucking them out and starting over, crunching new features into the website, finishing and printing the New Avatar Handbooks, etc. and we were ready to get on with the action!
We arrived during the opening PlaNet Work ceremony at which some sort of innovation in persistent identity, E-name, social networking technology was being heralded.
Riiiiiiight.
(Note to self: find out what an ‘ename’ is later from someone that can hook it up for us.)
Time for coffee!
We were greeted by fellow SuperStar Avatar- The Sensational Sensei, at the towering coffee station and soon jumped in to join him ‘at the pour’ as fellow work exchange coffee droids.
Ah-ha! Much to the delight and dismay of the activists, technologists and docker-wearing, geek-a-zoids, Polly and I brought the ART OF ATTENDING THE COFFEE STAND to a whole new level. We whipped out card after card and turned a dull corner of the conference basement into THE energetic and cultural hot spot of the whole conference. Cards displaying Geek Error Message Haiku, Coffee Facts, Mini Conference Schedules and the like brought many a smile.
We attended a haphazardly facilitated morning session in which ‘teams’ of planetworkers assessed their skills and ideas for Bigger &Badder social tech onto big, blank white cardboard boxes. These boxes were then supposed to be connected in a “Glass Bead Game’ style brainstorming session. This session,however, sort of degenerated into an egoic, semantic noise riddled, ‘preaching to the converted’ kind of collegiate playground chaos.

Lunch was nice. Sitting in the sun and grass with the Who’s Who of The Social Networking Set. Eating Salad and sandwiches with biodegradeable ‘sporks’ that looked like your average white plastic. A ‘hippie-geek’ type, overhearing my confident ramblings about Spork technology, made quite the face when I said convincingly that they were made of compost.

Time to present.
4.30 PM in The West Room. Classic academia surroundings, chairs, video projector….College Time again!
We pulled out our materials and got our costume changes ready, attendees filled the chairs,
A silence descended, a lone tumbleweed blew through the room…..and then it happened, the InterNet went down.
Polly seemed to take the whole thing in stride while yours truly sort of paced madly, quietly pleading to any tech-head present to please help…please help!
We forged ahead, bravely, daringly….internet be D*MNED!
Of course, and I say this humbly, we were brilliant.
Point after point was delivered with consummate skill and panache. Examples of things obtuse and noble were offered to dazzle and delight the crowd.
The smiling faces of our friends present beamed at us while we hailed the power of play and sang the praises of Truly Social Architecture.
I think it was the costume change paired with the KraftWerk cover by Senor Coconut that sent the crowd into a ‘Justin Timberlake’, post presentation frenzy.
Literally, after the 30 minute chat, our offer for the crowd to come up and grab a handbook was met with a ‘angry towns-folk’ type of scenario.
Pocket liners flew and Birkenstocks were scuffed that afternoon, let me tell you!
Basking in a post-presentation glow, we were approached by programmers and tech types of many descriptions. This continued into the evening cocktail hour as we (and by we, I mostly mean Polly) were approached by more of the same.
Except now, inebriated.
Riiiiiiiiight. Time to go!
Overall: Some good contacts were made and SuperStar Nation introduced its colorful message to the PlaNetWorkers Conference. Only time will tell what effect that week had.
(Final note-the Internet came back up directly after our presentation!)

PlaNet Work Presentation

2004-06-07T08:56:00.000-07:00

Theme Social Architecture
Title Social architecture for the Masses- lets make it fun!
Abstract
Translating the complex theoretical systems of ‘social networks’, ‘distributed accountability’ and ‘collaborative tools’ into practical solutions for mass empowerment is a daunting challenge.We must create transparent, intuitive tools that have sex appeal and ‘Hip Factor’ if popular culture is to incorporate them into their everyday lives. The process of using the tools must be rewarding!(FUN)
This is the PlaNetWork Presentation Abstract that got us top billing:

Description
The SuperStar Avatar approach puts a friendly face on these rather daunting, intellectual concepts and repackages them in a pop-culture skin for distribution to the masses. It works as both a low tech, analog process (live interaction) and as a knowledge embedded, online technical application which individuals and communities use to assess and manage the flow of their practical and creative ‘data’. It transparently delivers with a familiar, intuitive and experiential interface that mirrors the way successful communities already operate.

We have successfully concluded our play-testing, and are now hosting an emerging experience economy (live time community interaction and exchange) using our functioning online prototype.
We will present how the SuperStar Nation is operating and how the participants are having their needs met by:
· Creating and Assessing their Social Identities
· Creating and Building their communities
· Assessing their practical and creative wealth
· The standards of etiquette for exchanging their ‘wealth’ in live exchange
· The Tools for Maintaining and Sustaining Distributed Accountability
· Scripting their own experiences

ooof...tired.what a draining weekend
Presentation went well, the new avatar HandBooks flew off the table to a frenzied mob
SuperStar was once again branded as the wacky game for people who like to dress up and freak out.
One fellow saw the potential in what we are doing, the others either wanted to flirt (not with me) or go to the parties.
Funding, Scalability of the application, initiating play using the tools...
these things way heavily on mind....June 7th, my birthday.
I feel gratitude for the community resources and Joy that has shown up and
judgement (from the self) for not having the SuperStar phenomenon more established by this point in the timeline.
And, what toe-hold does it have?
How can i know the extent to which it is brewing and germinating in the hearts of SuperStar AVatars to be?

Human evolution is a dance and the Earth is a great dance hall.
… strains of a beautiful melody wash over us from some orchestra sight unseen, notes cascading through us in strange and thrilling ways-
We close our eyes and allow this music… to‘pull’ at every cell in our body…
…and we surrender ourselves.
effortlessly- we join with the essence of Waltz itself and suddenly we understand.
Someone has to be first on the dance floor….

Early Superstar Avatar Experience Architecture

2004-05-24T12:24:00.000-07:00

The Beauty Engine Experience –
Your Beauty Makes The World…

Overview & Mission
The Beauty Engine supports the sharing and celebration of Individual and Community Abundance, defined in both tangible and intangible terms:
Tangible: skills, services, products and goods
Intangible: ideas, stories, visions, expressions of personal artistry and good-will

The outer expression of BE communicates a sense of abundance, well-being, rejuvenation, exploration, connection and transformation; both for individuals and communities.
The inner expression of BE exists to its’ participants as a network of shared goods and services that places value on the act of community participation before one’s own gifts or agendas.
BE recognizes the value many communities place on aesthetics, ideologies, gender exploration, personal development, spirituality, good will, topical issues, etc. as factors by which they identify themselves and each other.
BE caters directly to the needs of these communities & Indiv. by offering profiling tools that place these values in a shared “economy” database along side tangible goods and services.
BE thus supports the intuitive exploration of intellectual and aesthetic subject matters as a pleasurable, enriching experience; engaging participants in sensual, creative, and fun ways that reflects them as the initiators’ of their own process.
BE hosts a neutral space for these diverse communities and individuals to mix, exchange knowledge, share values and invites participants to become ‘cross community’ explorers in the Beauty Engine’s content rich world.

Values
· BE supports a true experience economy by hosting an environment of exchange that supports both tangible and intangible goods and services.
· BE provides an affinity-based open structure that facilitates cross community exchange, exploration and celebration without agenda, hierarchy or
· BE’s is experienced in a fun and engaging way .
· By inviting both the mental and sensory realms to mingle; BE supports tangible, visceral experiences of living systems, wisdom and ideas.
· BE supports education and awareness of “cocreative” principles with an integral architecture that allows for participants to explore and compare its’ tenets.

Incentives
· BE exists as a continuously unfolding entity, both online and in live space
· Establish a Beauty Engine Charter that communicates its goals, values and operating standards.
· BE “seal of approval” program for participating indiv. and communities that agree to operate within the range of the Beauty Engine Charter.
· The use of a “soft technology” approach to provide access to the Beauty Engine content ecology that is “soft, open and intuitive”. (puts human experience before tech.)
· Use of the Star7 relational color mapping interface for navigating BE content.
· BE provides both virtual and live models, called “Journeys”, which support experiences combining sensory, entertaining and informative elements to engage participants.
· Establish The Living Mystery School as a part of the BE journey component which utilizes
The challenge structure of Star7 “reality gaming” mechanics.

All comprehensions, beyond all limitations….all these words

Beingness of True Light is the most Ecstatic State of communion possible
Are you open to The Central Sun within your Heart?
For it cleanses and gracefully works with our local mind-body-heart-soul in expanding according to ever more subtle frequencies

Fool Magicians stumble between desire and emptiness
Seeking to fill the cup
then
Seek to empty the cup
to lose all thoughts of a cup at all
And thus becoming the cup, increasingly ever more

Be filled with Creations Light!
So Mote It Be x3, x3

Deep Musings from The Professor

2004-05-24T12:11:00.000-07:00

Superstar Avatar Flight Plan 1.0
From: Professor Violet
Being a Transmission from The Lotus LightShip-
currently hovering somewhere within The Superstar Nation- on the full moon

Greetings to you-
My fellow avatars, Kinky Salon community members, Sex-Kitten Priestesses,
Ecstatic Terrorists, seekers of Truth and Beauty, Heroic servants to The Goddess and all those divinely possessed by StarFireGold that courses through our veins.
Greetings from The Lotus LightShip, humming and hovering here at Mission Control.
Many of you will not know me or recognize this ’voice’.
Though my grasp on words (and Reality…) may seem a bit strange and fruity to you, for best effect, i invite you to allow the ESSENCE of what is transmitted here to simply wash over you.
So, tuck your head under your arm, dear friends, and let us sit to Tea for a bit,
Here, in the twilight realms of Infinite Possibility and Wonder.
Here, aboard The Lotus LightShip, a ‘party central’ nexus of Evolution.

Allow me to introduce myself-
I am Professor Violet -the Dreaming Avatar- 001,
A Lotus-Born Hyper Dimensional Medicine Man, Rainbow Serpent Rider and Harmonic Navigator-
A Superstar L’amourian Priest/ess, Champion of BEAUTY and Experience Designer
The Man Behind The Superstar Avatar Curtain

Though part of me is still reluctant to admit it, I awoke within The Cosmic Mandala of Creations’ own Heart, one desert night, 6 years ago.
I was brought to a fierce state of awareness (and humbled to my metaphorical knees) by the POWER THAT IS, which I found, much to my surprise, residing within my own heart.

I admit it is my fond allegiance to the FOOL which allows me to come out and share such ridiculous sentiments for I have no desire to be anyone’s saviour.
Well, a Fool’s tongue and a ‘sometimes’ heart of pure, violet flame.

Hear this, Avatars Realized and those still sleeping…
The Starry Gold is rising in the blood!
Come out, come out wherever you are, Avatars of near and far!

Spare no magnificence, no matter how awkward or fledgling you might feel yourselves to be!
We are so young, so new….
Come out and play, tentative hearts!
….and take stock in the fact that there are many among us that DO support you.
That do share the fear of being ridiculed in your amazing strangeness.

In The Name of The True Gold of The Soul-
Cast off the fear that binds you!

You all feel it though you might not recognize it for what it is.
Our Destiny with Ecstatic Wonder!

The avatar skins that many of you have worn as chrysalis these many years no longer serve you, am I right?
Yet, you are afraid of losing your identity, of losing your community and friends if you explore the bold new territory that beckons from within you-

In our very private moments, do we not allow ourselves to sing and pretend we are the very essence of unbounded love and personal power?
In your secret sanctums, do we not feel it pulsing through our veins and open ourselves to a kind of undeniable Glory?
In our heart of hearts, do we not harbor secret fairy tale endings and moon-filled meadows where we are wed to our TRUE loves in ecstatic embrace?

Though society would tell you that this is pride of the EGO, a form of delusional, self-serving vanity…this desire to experience ourselves as ‘God like’…
Good news.
The Superstar Nation is rising.
I see you all in your magnificence,
….and yet you continue to feel separate, alone.
You feel unsupported in your desires to embody your truth here on Earth.
You begin to open yourselves to your muses, to each other, beginning

You do not need to seek permission from ANYONE to embody the essence of the TRUTH you feel rising within you.
Why? Because there is no-one to ask.

Its like human evolution is a dance and the Earth is a great dance hall.
Our past is sitting in stiff chairs against the wall, still stuck in the present.
We are afraid to ask the pretty girl/ the handsome gentleman to dance, for fear of refusal.
Or fears’ sake or doubt or self-loathing; pick your poison.
Yet, (and oh how I love the YET…)
… strains of a beautiful melody come to us –washing over us from some orchestra sight unseen, melodies cascading through us in strange and thrilling ways-
We close our eyes and allow this… ‘pulling’ at every cell in our body…
…ultimately, surrendering ourselves to this magnificent feeling.

Then, we join with the essence of Waltz itself and we understand.
Someone has to be first on the dance floor.

Quotes From 'Finite and Infinite Games'

2004-05-24T12:09:00.000-07:00

So if The Bible could be edited to one page,
this would be it....

Finite and Infinite Games James Carse
There are at least two kinds of games: finite and infinite.
A finite game is a game that has fixed rules and boundaries, that is played for the purpose of winning and thereby ending the game.
An infinite game has no fixed rules or boundaries. In an infinite game you play with the boundaries and the purpose is to continue the game.
Finite players are serious; infinite games are playful.
Finite players try to control the game, predict everything that will happen, and set the outcome in advance. They are serious and determined about getting that outcome. They try to fix the future based on the past.
Infinite players enjoy being surprised. Continuously running into something one didn't know will ensure that the game will go on. The meaning of the past changes depending on what happens in the future.
All games are inherently voluntary. There might be consequences of not playing, but there is always a choice required. Driving in the right side of the road, shaking people's hands, and paying taxes are games one has a choice about playing. There are certain rules and boundaries that appear to be externally defined, and you choose to follow them or not. If you stop following them you aren't playing the game any longer.
There is no rule that says you have to follow the rules.
All finite games have rules. If you follow the rules you are playing the game. If you don't follow the rules you aren't playing. If you move the pieces in different ways in chess, you are no longer playing chess.
Infinite players play with rules and boundaries. They include them as part of their playing. They aren't taking them serious, and they can never be trapped by them, because they use rules and boundaries to play with.
In a theatrical play the actor knows that she really isn't Ophelia. The audience knows that she really isn't Ophelia. But if she does a good job, Ophelia can express herself through the actor. The playing is most enjoyable when it is both clear that it is chosen play, that it is the actor doing it voluntarily, and at the same time it is so convincing, following the rules well enough that it seems real.
You can play finite games within an infinite game. You can not play infinite games within a finite game.
You can do what you do seriously, because you must do it, because you must survive to the end, and you are afraid of dying and other consequences. Or, you can do everything you do playfully, always knowing you have a choice, having no need to survive the way you are, allowing every element of the play to transform you, taking pleasure in every surprise you meet. Those are the differences between finite and infinite players.
These ideas are paraphrased from the book:
"Finite and Infinite Games - A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility" by James P. Carse

Distributed Accountability

2004-05-24T12:08:00.000-07:00

Distributed Accountability is The Key or Community Building Logic 101
“How to have fun with friends without it all going terribly pear-shaped”

The following is a suggested breakdown of steps taken in the formation and maintenance of a community.
There are clearly many models by which communities form, this merely serves to help inform our needs to clarify a “process” for community action.

1 A community first identifies by way of shared interests/ “affinity”
(Individuals connect and self-organize)

2 A community then creates and/or adopts a set of etiquette and standards
(Individuals form consensus agreement and adopt guidelines)

3 A community operates and maintains these standards
(Individuals use guidelines to participate in community growth/ activity and maintain community by these standards.
If collectively agreed upon, distribution of accountability amongst the community (with support from appointed “caretakers”) effectively decentralizes structure.
Community members assist with the maintenance of the community by upholding standards according to collectively agreed upon methods,)
…How the standards are upheld is as equally important as the standards themselves.

Now apply the logic….

1 A community first identifies by way of shared interests/ “affinity”
Polly and Scott invite individuals and groups they feel share a common interest in self-expression, creative exchange and intentional community
As community instigators they “curate” an environment dedicated to these things.
Attendees of gatherings invite friends and their networks.

2 A community then creates and/or adopts a set of etiquette and standards
First standards/ etiquette adopted from “Fetish” /play-party communities on a “general” level. Standards upheld by inner circle of members and shared with friends.
Community growth occurs; the combination of “third circle” invitations (allowing the “yahoos” in) and a lack of community-supported set of standards- lessen the quality/ intention of the original vision and community begins to wobble.
Constructive community feedback combined with collective expertise prompts creation of a Kinky Salon House Charter / STAR CHARTER (standards of etiquette) and suggested methods for upholding these standards.

3 A community operates and maintains these standards
KS House Charter presents standards for operating the community and intention behind its’ original creation.
KS re-invites all existing members to adopt and uphold this Charter as their community “Charter”. (Distributed Accountability)
KS community adopts and recognizes the position of “host” and invites any interested community members to step up to this role for monitoring and maintaining the Charter standards at KS gatherings.
KS encourages “hosts” to perform their duties discreetly and compassionately.
KS encourages community members to uphold the standards of the Charter in the same manner as hosts.

Invocation To The Star

2004-05-24T11:26:00.000-07:00

Shining star in an emerald sea,
I open to the Mystery of your deep song rising.
I am the calling forth from the secret rising dawn,
parting rainbow cascading mists-
Rose dawn shining
With rays of gold

Shining Star in an emerald sea,
I am the shore upon which your gentle waves crash
Awakening cells to rise
Your promise now trumpeted in
Rose dawn singing tales of gold

Here, where there is nothing but becoming
I am a radiant shining wind
Blowing into a boundless space
I am empty so that I may receive
and be filled with your Grace
Rose Dawn striking in a Golden void

Shine! Shine forth, star of emerald and Sappire
I Am the light bringing gladness!
I am magnificent in Joining!
A new-hued wonder to behold….
Spilling forth, spilling out
Radiant with becoming
Beloved, Beloved you are…
Beloved, we are becoming
In this rose dawn gold
Singing place

Building Consensuality and Trust

2004-05-24T11:22:00.000-07:00

Playing with Consent- a good topic for discussion!
It is the numero uno point on both The Kinky Salon Charter and The Superstar Nation Star Charter for good reason, and thus, not only worthy of discussion but an essential issue for us I feel….(with regards to moving forward as a community.)

I can say that almost every point where I saw either ‘breakdown’ or ‘room for improvement’ at the May Day Ball came up around this very issue.

First points that come to heart…..

1. Honoring Agreements
This is a major point in creating and establishing TRUST.
TRUST in needed for SAFETY.
SAFETY is needed for individuals to open up and share from an authentic place and what helps make for quality experiences!!!!

ONE:
If we make agreements with each other, lets honor them.
TWO:
If we make agreements with each other that we realize at some point we cannot honor , lets agree to check in to reshape the agreement (not just ‘check out’)
THREE:
If we make agreements that we feel we are honoring but others feel like we are not, lets agree to be open to hear their feedback with an open Heart and open Mind.

2. Respect for yourself and Others
Respect is an essential component in creating an environment of Consent.
Respect yourself ; awareness of how you treat yourself, carry yourself amongst others, self-tolerance, self-compassion, humor

Respect others;
Awareness of how we treat each other, respecting others boundaries, sensitivity to differences (not projecting our standards onto others!), open ourselves to receive each others’ gifts,
Be compassionate to others as we would like them to be in return (to coin a phrase…)etc.

Invocations to Superstar Districts- Allegoria and Shamandala

2004-05-24T11:17:00.000-07:00

Allegoria
Praise to whimsy, wonder and delight!
May the heart of us be golden, playfully light….
And strong enough to embrace the darkness that resides within.
In Allegoria, play is a living form of make-believe where we allow ourselves to explore the worlds we truly wish to live in.
Here, permission is given to PLAY because there is no tomorrow, no dinner time and no curfew.
Allegoria is a haven for all things strange and fantastic, a portal to realms of the imagination from all times –all periods.
The age old definitions of light-dark are but playful conventions to the citizens of Allegoria; and understood to be essential components of the Grand Play here in this enchanted world of worlds.
Allegoria invites us to remember the time when we experience the world with rose tinted hue.
Avatars of Allegoria, may we lose ourselves to the allure of MYSTERY, here on the edge of imaginations fertile plain.
Fairy Tales, children’s tales, folk tales, mythology and legend are the roadmaps to start us on our adventures.
Who of us has not been touched at some point by the power and beauty contained in timeless tales; enchanted woods and shining caves, Fairy Queens and innocence regained?
Why? Because every last one of us, no matter how we may grieve the loss of our wings, have mythic blood in our veins.
The many faces of the hero, the goddess and all manner of archetypal personas
Invite us to meet them, here in our blood… in the sunny glades and misty meadows of Allegoria.
To feel wonder without guilt, to feel our childlike nature without self-awareness, to be spontaneous, to peek into the dark forests of our psyches and laugh …..this is Allegoria beckoning.

Invocation in Shamandala
Truth is personal, and yet the world assumes to tell you that your business is in accepting Truth as a commodity, a thing to be bartered, sold and prostituted.
The world would tell you that you cannot possibly be an expert on Beauty, and that you must accept THE standards, TRUST the professionals.
So, we consume what we are told is Truth.
We accept foreign models of Beauty as our own, selling ourselves out every day, in so many ways because ….because….
Because every day we spin from the wheel of poisons….self-doubt, lack of self love, fear of humiliation, fear of not belonging, fear of your own power, of not being received, of being too bold…
Yet, and how I love…yet…
the tide is turning, friends- and we all know it
the tide is turning and we feel it pulling in our bones like some Pied Piper….
We are called here not only because we cannot contain the Truths we are all experiencing …but because we choose to celebrate them!
…though in celebration, our truth may make us appear Unique, perhaps even foolish and plunge us into strange waters….who cares?
Lets take the chance together…if it helps you out, I’ll make a fool of myself first….
Our truths, our perceptions, what we choose to hold dear…. If these things are the only true possessions we really have, of course I want to share them!
….And if life is an experience economy, is this not our only real, true currency?
We are remarkable creations, humans, experience engines designed for infinite expression, exploration and Ecstasy.
Though by some you would meet, you would think we are merely recording devices at best; designed to mimic and parody everything we consume.
So Let me tell you this, friend, I am not interested in your regurgitated ‘Spirituality’.
No.
Lets be Playful Masters together.
Let’s experience the harvest all our tools now have to afford us,
And though we celebrate our many diverse tools; healing, magickal, shamanic , philosophical tools…let us not forget…..
Playful Mastery is the point at which we can set our tools down because they have become such a part of us.
The Masters Play because they know direct experience is the goal : infinite reward and infinite learning.
What need do we have now for the Tools Enlightenment, there is too much Beauty to explore.
Truth flows and so do we,
Venturing forth….our sails full, the Shining Stars leading the way…
straight on
into the Heart of Creation.
