The Temple of the Prim, Beta v 1.0

Now, as I explained earlier in my post "Increatum" I consider the Prim to be on the same level as a god and therefore worthy of respect and devotion. So that's the main reason for my having wanted for a long time to create a Temple of the Prim.

I should maybe give a little biographical stuff as to why....... although this is not back story, simply a description of my path .

When I was very very little I had the innate desire to arrange things, objects. This was not taught or understood by people around me, it was simply, for me, that objects, through their volume and colour, stood in a relationship to each other which could be enhanced by their relative positions.

I have heard people tell of how their lives/heads were full of music, all their lives.... for me it has always been form and colour. There is not a single scene, manmade or natural, that I don't subconsciously analyse for relative forms, colours and positions. A piece of 2D graphics or 3D form immediately manifests a harmony, or lack thereof.

Anything that doesn't 'work' to my eye gets analysed until I see how it 'should' have been composed.

Now, bear with me....... my love of matter, that great and mystifying substance which is still so little understood, manifests most when I am touching, feeling and forming it in RL. So... that respect has been transformed in SL into an amazing respect for the Prim. The Uncreated Creation.

The Prim is totally neutral, even more neutral than matter which has imbued feeling depending on whether it is wood, silver, etc. The Prim ONLY manifests its creator's psyche, nothing else.

It is the blankest of blank canvases.

It is, actually, nothing. Matter is actually an illusion too. Atomic physics teaches us that electrons are energy defined by their general relative positions, there's no 'stuff'. Solid is illusion.

So...the Prim is worthy of your respect and devotion..

The Temple opens tomorrow, Saturday at 1PM SLT at ::: soup Magoo ::: Doubledown will DJ...

Inworldz, and history...

Ah... my first tree ever to have been built outside Second Life, except my RL tree of course.

I built it yesterday at Inworldz, a grid where I went on the recommendation, as I said before, of Scotsgraymouser.

Now, if the success of a new grid is in any way dependant on the attitude of the administrators, then this place is gonna do VERY well. How nice to be treated as a valued customer as soon as you set foot in the door.
Also...no lag, not many people there yet, prims cost just 10% of SL and I uploaded 1200 textures for 0L$... no wonder I'm smiling.

Anyway, as it was an historic moment, I called the tree Ficus Inworldzii, and, of course, it is only available in Inworldz for 500L, (copy only) ....so, nice to be helping to populate a Linden-tree-free world...

Now, only a couple of hundred more species to go......

The future is an orange

Well, finally got the Most Ancient One planted on Orange Island, my latest build....



Still a lot of small fiddling around to be done but the basic planting first fix, is there.



Great fun to check, as I did, when I started, how many prims I had to play with in the land info, under How Many Prims bit on the land thingy...... well, a real treat........ never seen before....... 14000 prims available......hehehehehe... now thats what I call a building site !!!!
The address is Orange 4 (197,206,24) and its a good idea to go when no-one else is there, cos all those sculpties take a while to pop, hope its worth the wait...

Otherwise, went to the haiku speed build, (no sculpties allowed) and made a bit of an arse of myself.......well, it was late at night and I was experimenting on my build with the alpha texs, inside each other, you know how the transparent bug plays havoc with your tex....well, I put 5 prims inside each other with alpha tex..... and, it wasnt brilliant, but it was interesting, then Rez says "1 minute to go" and, either the Lag Monster ate two of my prims, or, more likely, I hit the wrong key and deleted two!! it looked absolute crap when it came to judging and I couldnt leave it there.....

Oh, well, a few disasters, in public, never killed anyone..... .hehehehehe

Anyway, I will get around to putting Orange Island in my Picks, soonish......
