I got a message today, one of those message you never want to get, old friend of mine passed away. We played Gor together for many years, like 8 years, both as Assassins in the game. Hung out a lot together in Second Life. You know one of those friends you never met real life but you were just as close as any real life friend. My thoughts just playing over all the good times we had. I am sure a lot here understand that kind of loss. Friends you meet on line. I have had the pleasure to meet some I played online games with in person. Few I still play Second Life with. We all call each other brothers. There are about 125 of us that play Black Caste in SL Gor, Black Caste is the assassins caste and there all mens. No females are allowed to play Assassins because that just how John Norman who wrote all the Gor Books made the caste. You online with someone a long time and when they pass way it hits just as hard. Still in some shock cos he was not that old but then when our time is up, its up. No matter the age. Death is always a eye opener to me. I just want all the people here I call friends to know, you are just as dear to me as all my friends on the computer or off.
I'm sorry my love. "hold you tight"
I wish to take the pain away or the sadness.
But I am always here for you

When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others will see you. This misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth, just like you did.
That's not really fair to say . Not all people are toxic to someone else, usually it's something that has been said to them or done to them that causes them to be set off . Not all people spread things to other people therefore what you are saying is not always true .
For the new people. I know reading some journals can confuse you sometimes on how things should work here but I share with you what my first CM's told me. Have a issue with someone, bring it 1st to your CM if you and the person can not solve it. Let your CM go to the persons CM and see if they can work it out. Always ALWAYS present proof if the issue... snipping tool works great to take pictures of Journal Message here. Always be honest about what the issue is. Try to always take the high road. Don't flood your journal with a lot of drama of he said they said stuff. Take a deep breath. Give issues time to be resolved though these channels. Its not like folks log in every day here. If your CM does not help you, go to the other persons CM and private message them showing them proof of the issue and again GIVE them time to contact there member and work it out. Keep in mind too you are telling a CM one of there members did something to you. CM (thank heavens) here will do some digging and they will get to the truth. This has been my experience and what I tend to do even now as a Sire when I have issues with someone. Even today at level 113 if I could not resolve an with someone myself and I just could not let it go,I would contact my current CM , Lady Cat. All my past CM's, Erinyes, Payne, Dwayne and Cat I know would have help me handle any issue that I myself as an adult could not make go away. And folks, to every one remember this: This is the internet! People tend to make stuff up. And Cancer gave us a block Button for a reason. I some time had to block people for a few weeks and then they stop, tend to move on to someone else who will let them play there games. Do not Feed into them! I always like this : Then again, this is the internet, not some place where people sit around and make stuff up.
These days I like to send folks this too:

To the person who left the following comments in my honor:
Mar 18 2018 6 you act so fucking cocky always bringing up that you know so much about this website.
Mar 18 2018 6 How many times do you feel you got to say it? 10 year members never bring it up, you bring it up every few weeks . Get a life and stfu !
In 2 months I will get my 5 year batty. I DO know a lot about this site. And I will say it as often as I damn well feel like it. And stfu? Seriously? Try and make me.
When you try to hide a name behind an invisibily action.
Childlish
We have life and we prefer to act on it as we like and write what we want. Free will of the mind
Do we know this member? Feel free to message me with his/her name(if you know) and ill stick it in the idiots of Vr section in my journal. time to oust this members that are hell bent on causing drama!
Why would it matter so much who knows about the site or not ? It doesn't take a genius to read the VR manual or learn as you go or staying away from those causing drama and who's not . The fun of being here is learning as you go .
It is ALWAYS humorous to me when someone posts on a social site telling someone else what they shouldn't post even though it adheres to that site's rules. As if their opinion matters to that person. LMAO!!!
I have no idea who this person is... well they left me 6 honor so they got be a level 60 and hid there name so they a prem. I think they bashed me for the comment I left on your journal trepidation where I offered to share my post about the Forums I did about a year ago... Mogy, brother, you are spot on. Special when they tell you to... STFU. Ummm like what they going do... become a keyboard warrior and caps me to death? hehe... Well, this just proves trepidation journal 100% about how there little respect these days for other members and for Sires. Thank you all who supported me, message me, and left replies here . Like I tell new people, this community is like any other community there is some bad and some good here. You all are the GOOD of VR. Thank you.

What IS Love
I have been reading a lot lately and came across this, thought I would share it here, it was written by Allan Hardman, Toltec Master:
Many of us have heard the rather believable story that Eskimos of the far north have a very large number of words for snow and ice. This makes sense to us, since anyone living or working in a specialized environment would be likely to create a language that helped them communicate about their experiences.
Given that idea, have you noticed how few words we have in the English language for "Love?" My Thesaurus lists 13, including many love-lite words like "fondness" and "warmth." Is it possible that we do not have a large vocabulary of words for love because we do not live in an environment (of love) where we need a special language?
We use "love" for just about everything: "I love your new hair color." "I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream." "I love you." "I love to ski." "I love it when you are nice to me." "Do you love me?" Some authors have attempted to add more precise words to our daily language, like "agape," "Eros," and "familial," but I have never heard anyone speak them out loud.
So just what is this "love" thing? What are we talking about, and can we refine our understanding and language as a way to actually learn to love each other and ourselves more authentically?
I believe that we are born as Love. Imagine with me that there is a Creator of some sort, and that Creator exists on the unmanifest side of the veil of creation-- and we live on the manifest side. Let us also imagine that this Creator is Life itself, or the Essence of Unconditional Love. If that Creator wanted those of us on this side of the veil to have the experience of the pure love that exists on the unmanifest side of the veil, what better channel to create than a new born baby? You, born as one of those channels, came here to this manifest reality with no stories, no judgments or opinions, no politics, and no agenda about anything. When your mother bent over your crib to lift you to her bosom, I doubt that what was going through your mind was "Jeez, mom, who did you hair? Bad, very bad!"
As that infant, you were the embodiment of Life without Expectations. And everyone wanted to pick you up, look you in the eye, and hold your eye contact for as long as possible. If you turned away, they tried to bring your attention back with all sorts of strange noises and facial contortions. They saw, unconsciously, that you were that channel of love, and they wanted to bask in your non-judgmental openness. They wanted to drink at your Fountain of Love. (Now as adults, of course, eye contact is strictly limited to brief glances, except for extreme flirting moments).
So there you are, the channel for Creator's delight, pouring your unconditional acceptance into the world. And everybody is eating it up like starving souls at a free banquet. And you don't even know what you are doing, because you don't know anything yet. You are just pure presence, existing, being Life itself.
Unfortunately, this Paradise cannot exist for very long. Like the story of Adam and Eve, the time comes when you must eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge, and learn about good and evil, and right and wrong. In the Toltec tradition of Miguel Ruiz, we call this process "Domestication." It is the duty of the parents, and then the society, to teach you the rules of their game: The Dream of the Planet. It is hard to teach you anything when you are basking in the glory of Your Divine Oneness, so they insist you make a new agreement with them. They require that you believe they are the source of love, not you. You also agree that the Creator who sent you is not the source. You learn that love is a commodity, you need it to survive, and it is somewhat scarce. Further, you agree to be good, and not bad, in order to receive your share of this love commodity. You learn to be afraid that love will be withdrawn from you, as punishment for being bad. (Note that this is simply the way of the world, I am not saying it is wrong).
This is the day that Adam and Eve left the Garden, and went forth and suffered, knowing their guilt and shame... and fearing God.
As the domestication continued, you made more and more agreements with parents, clergy, teachers, friends, Santa Claus and God, about what it meant to be Good, and how to secure your share of the commodity of love and acceptance. You learned to domesticate yourself, to assure that you would always win the approval of those who controlled the grades, the jobs, the romance, the money, the applause, and, finally, the epitaphs.
If you are reading this, I assume that something different is stirring and awakening in you. Perhaps that something is your nature, your birthright as that channel that is still alive in you (although a little clogged up with old junky agreements and beliefs). I believe your nature is to pour that pure love into this manifest world. If I am right, then I encourage you to remember this truth about yourself-- that you are still that channel, and nothing has changed except your awareness of it.
The love that flows through that channel is pure acceptance. With no judgments or opinions or resistance to Creation, there is nothing left but the acceptance of what is. Have you ever had the experience of someone accepting you totally the way you are? Is that not the best feeling? Would you not describe that experience as feeling purely and completely loved? This love that is acceptance has no expectations or conditions. It needs nothing in return, and requires no response. You cannot bargain for this Love, and you also can never run out of it. The channel is connected to the Infinite Divine Source. That should be enough love for one lifetime!
So what is Love? I am suggesting to your here that love is your nature, your birthright. I am reminding you that love coming out of you as acceptance of what is offer you a connection with Life and the Creator as the Divine Source that can fill your heart with a joy and abundant happiness that can never be taken away from you. This love is here, right in this moment, underneath the fear and doubt from your domestication. It is that infant in you, open and innocent. It is you. It is the I AM, that which is eternally present in all of Creation. Sure, go ahead and "love" your new car or your new romantic interest. Love this web site. And love Life. Love yourself; because you are Life, you are Love. Open the channel. Celebrate it, celebrate you! Dance with joy in Life.
Very true and very nice way of looking and reading of it
We use the love word for many things and we never knew but we LOVE only once. The love for objects and the love as feelings
"When you find true love hold it dear to you because true love id only found once. Never give up never turn the back to it. Its on in the million"
I was just talking about this yesterday to a friend for hours. lol Your post is not a coincidence it is a sign to me that I am onto something further enlightenment is coming.
