Who indeed is anybody ???

I have been ordered by Q ....yes her ..Amber points! to update the blog ..
I have just finished reading Pang's blog. ( Attached to the Cage Blog )

Pang did indeed dj for a very small group of us for 5 hours straight at the Cage .....we were all completely lost in his music....enjoying each and every song Pang pulled out of his collection ....including some very old and obscure tunes.

I have known Pang for a long time in SL now...and have always loved his music. In my early days hanging out at a strip club ( not stripping ...but loving the environment and the people...) I met some of my most valued friends. Pang is one of those :) Who is Pang? Pang is...a very talented person. He is extremely humble...very polite...and has a very dry sense of humor. His taste in music is eklectic and classic. He may even be slightly shy...if I may say that. How do I know all this ? Because over time..I have come to know Pang ! I have watched, listened and seen him express his love of playing music for others...without any great fuss or fanfare. I do not talk to Pang often ...I do not know what he looks like in SL ...but I most definately trust him. How can this be ? Is this the same way we get to know people in RL ? No I dont think it is.

Why do we meet some people in SL and connect ? Why do we meet some people in SL and not connect ? Why do some people just 'feel' comfortable to be around and others dont ?

My theory ? is because it really is about our souls...our minds ..it is a very deep connection that we rarely experience in RL. WE barely scratch the surface in RL ..when meeting new people..or forming new friendships. Some people we would not even meet simply because of their appearance !! In here....we have nothing other than our thoughts and our words to communicate. ..and we dont judge by appearances.
Sure I hear u say ...duh ...thats no light bulb assessment ...I know - its basic.

We all come here to escape RL and its constraints... but I see SL embelishing our RL if we choose to learn while we are here. I believe SL is a valuable tool, that is teaching us about our minds and how we are all capable of so much more if we try.

I believe the act of sharing ones mind, thoughts & feelings...is ten times more intimate than any physical act of cyber sex. ( dont get me wrong ... nothing wrong with cyber sex ) ...however...I have to say ...I have experienced the most intimate - deep - moving moments - using very few typed words - listening to a special tune, watching a spectacular sunset over an SL ocean...in complete comfort with a special friend. You know ...those moments ? The moments you fall in sl love...or the moments you feel someone touching your arm....or your heart.

No cyber could come close to these moments of sharing for me. Thus the heightened feelings in here...everything is so much more focused on our 'minds'. Ten times more enjoyable...ten times more intimate...ten times more everything !! Yes ..the highs are incredibly high ..and the lows are incredibly low.

So accompany these intense connections with 'music'.....which we all know touches our souls....and well u might aswell take a rocket to the sun !!!

What Pang did for us the other night ...was took us all on a rocket to the sun...because we were all communicating ....respecting each others minds and thoughts...and giving each other energy which we all fed off. It was a very unique evening indeed. Close friends simply enjoying the space we created in SL. :)

Who is Pang? Who is Quilla? Who is Amber? Does it matter ? If we make the effort to communicate without judgement, without prejudice, without malice towards each other ...we find out very quickly - who we are dealing with. If we trust in our minds and our souls....we can actually find these amazing feelings of joy and happiness...but we need to respect the process.

Accepting without presumption...

Learning through mutual respect..

Does it really matter who we are ? Do we really need to explain ourselves ? I think not.
