Another sub-system of the complex media platform of Mothership Gaia has been set up and is running @ http://metaversity.mothership-gaia.org (Give it a hyperjump).

Metaversity

Thanks to the Open Source community of http://www.moodle.org Mothership Gaia has now an amazing webware for collaborative learning.

Metaversity stands for a „Universality“ freed from academical industry standards. It can „teach“ everything that can be imagined „teachable“. Meta also stands for Metta - the Hinduword for the highest compassionate love.

There are NO teachers in the Metaversity. Only students who can become Focalizer if they feel the call to share some knowledge and skills of their Focuses and focal points with fellow students. The focalizer herhim self becomes now a focal point of the focus topic.

What Business calls B2B (Business 2 Business) this educational model can be called S2S (Student 2 Student).

I also launched the Genesis Evolution Circle in the Metaversity as a place to study (collaborative, from student2student) the different aspects of Mothership Gaia project development (Philosophy, principles, technology, solutions, etc.)

Also check out the talking dean Gaiavatar on the Metaversity Frontpage.

Again the Hyperlinkportal: http://metaversity.mothership-gaia.org

You have probably noticed them. Graphix on websites that start very blurred and while they load sharpen to their full resolution. They are called „progressive .jpg’s“. I adapted this work style to my own work : currently the development of a very complex social network media platform.

A regular .jpg will be visible when it’s fully loaded – until then you ain’t see nothin’ !

I wanted to have a public live development platform in which you (and I) can see the daily results and changes. So even if I do not have the full resolution of my development „loaded“ yet, we can see something getting sharper over time.

I work in different layers on my project and allow my self to chaotically jump between the single pixels and sharpen them. Often I re-set, re-load and change pixels of the overall gestalt of the image (my project). It’s like playing Lego: I build, destroy, rebuild, sharpen and change.

It takes some courage though to work „progressive“. People might judge your „image“ as unsharpened and -clear. Sometimes I might develop, write, design stuff that I wish I would have never published before it’s „full resolution“. That’s negative for my „image“ - as traditional work busyness would say. People could judge me as a greenhorn and/or infantile, and/or „flying to high cyberhippie“…

I don’t care about my image because I choosed .jpg as my favorite image format: Joyful Progressive Gaming! I play, step-by-step, one day (pixel) at a time ! Over time, while I load my life, the vision of my progressing life sharpens my „Insights“.

The JPG of Blissness comes from an inner/visionary image and expresses into the outside via play. Creation is Leela (Hindu word for the „game of life“). Humans are created in the image of „God“.

The traditional Business model of „image“, the .bmp (Busyness mindful(l) powergame) (Bitmap) comes from an outer, virtual target group dictated image. (Humans in the image of a tiny part of the human mind)

The progressive .jpg as a work(ship) style of blissness. I love it and feel „save as..“ !

Second day back in blissness workship. I haven’t posted yesterday and it doesn’t feel good. Keeping a QuestBlog is a daily devotion practice that I feel comitted to and yet have to learn (again). The SymbolDesign of the Blog is ready and says that the Questblog is the journal of a growing seed > The seed of the project tree I’m workshipping on.

The Project is no seed any longer. It’s more of a seed from the first tiny fruits of the young project tree. The mythic theme of this website, the designs, story-through-site appears to be a lot about these seeds of the young fruits coming from the young project tree. A time for me – the/a gardener of this tree to share the first fruits with a fellowship of friends.

I basically jam my work that follows an inner flow and course which, in it’s nature is chaotic and almost unpredictable. I had enough time over the last 19 month to re(!)flect this chaotic flow and course in retro-timeline perspective: It always made perfectly sense If it would have been planned by the cosmic project manager it would have been following a good strategy.

„Yeah, yeah, yeah my friend! But who says that it made perfectly sense ? And how do you measure what you define as „the success of a good strategy“ ? How do you know it’s not a psychic defense interpretation for the truth: You simply do not work effective ?“

Well that’s me - my Self who does the evaluation and rating. My Self adapted a different interpretation model to make sense out of my worklife and everyday activities, my sense of call and fulfilling work that can contribute the most out of me.

The traditional model of work that I’ve been inprinted with simply does not work for me any longer. I mean what do you really wanna do with a work-model that does not work ? Work less or see it as workthless.

The work model I’ve been experimenting with is called „Blissness“. The word-symbol „Work“ mutates into „wor(k)ship“ in the Blissness model: a blend of work, worship and ship (my work’s project name is Mothership Gaia).

What we might call the „Brand called me“, Me Inc., Me.com, Brand me, personal brand, lovemark“ and stuff like that in the „professional“ and effective work optimation-with-passion-Business world I call Mything in my experimental work model.

Branding turns into Mything….which has to do with our own myth – the deepest call – the „Follow your true bliss“. Mything also implies My Thing. Which again means „To follow my bliss, my deepest call“. Super Egoism or humble devotion ?

Remember: Bliss is not the New Age version of a little excitment, the spiritual consumerism and daily workshopping. It is muuuuchhh deeper – all the way down the rabbitt hole to the divine source: Call her God if you like. If we follow our bliss – God’s CALL (or however your name might be for God) is the Call for and out of „all of us“ because God is all of us, Allofus, iLoveUs!. To follow ones bliss means to follow each ones bliss.

„Enough blissy work-model theory. How about your busy „practical“ - your visible matter results of this workday!“

Mmmh, three Hyperlinkportalstone-Designs with photographies taken today in our garden + the basic „tents(tructures)“ of the Seed-Camp-Community behind these Hyperlinkportals:

Visit the portalstones on the startpage on home to see them.

„Questblog, Journal of a growing seed“ which links to the blog that you read right now.

„Join the Culture Garden“ which links to the Member Registration page that I do not like, yet. Nor in words, nor in design. Well but at least it links. I got the idea to create an interactive flash-movie menu to introduce the community and features of „membership“ + one of my 5 talking comic avatars that still stand around and wait for action.

„The Open Book Project“ - a very cool simplistic semantic platform for collaborative book writing – another model that I LOVE. Thanks to the Open Source http://www.drupal.org community to CREATE such a cool web framework. And thanks God to give me a chance to not write a book the traditional style…it helps me to publish in realtime with the courage to make a fool of my self. (Which would be the bare truth – what should I say??!) and invite others to make a fool of them Self, too: through participating in realtime collaborative book writing. (What do you say??!)

I also uploaded the Media-Wiki system of http://www.Wikipedia.org for the Motherwiki.

It’s ready to be installed tomorrow……

I practiced the music pieces, soundtracks and mythomusical songs for the project: drum (Taikos, piano, vocals). The jam flowed well and helped my body to get away.

So – a little work model philosophy and active results of the day.

Good night My blissboss finally blew the trumpet for bed-time.

I live in a small village without any shops in a beautiful nature resort. Twice a month I go food-shopping in the nearest town. I do my hunt conscious, buy organic food that is locally produced and then fill the rest up with other organics and fair trades.

I do not have to much package waste < that's what I got from my 3 month research in which I stored all my waste in one place before I emptied it. 2 medium size bags, 1 of them for recycling. (Not to bad, ey? - the compost goes anyway to our garden, so I didn't store that one for 3 month

When I take the train to a bigger town 4 train hours from here to pick up my son or visit him, I cross „Babylon“. I allow my self to follow some quick offers on my way and buy little snacks and coffee. Everything is nicely packaged: One bag per French roll, cake’n cookies (thrown away after 6 minutes). One cup and a top (thrown away after 15 minutes) and a plastic spoon for the milk (thrown away after 5 seconds).

I simply observe my self, knowing that I participate in a very crazy and stupid system. I don’t know yet if I will travel with my own cup, spoon and bags one day but right here, right now I think it’s a perfect and not to complicated idea.

To empty from fullness – the big mission of the last 1.5 month and the coming weeks. For 19 month I’ve been on a mythic quest in which I have explored a whole universe of „content“ that I want to empty into this post-modern book called „Interactive Social Network, Online Community and Open Knowledge System“. The questions that most drive me on my mission:

There are more quests(ions) that drive me most – but enough for this QuestBlog entry.

As I said in the first part of this entry: I am called to empty all I’ve been exploring over the last 19 month into this „post-modern book“. I have been blessed with continuous growth of my personal media literacy which enables me to „write a book“ in the Age of New Media. While Books basically contain of 26 symbols that are remixed into words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters and leave a big chunk of processing to the imagination of the human mind a „post-modern New Media Book“ includes all that AND adds Graphic designs, movies, audio, interactivity between readers, discussion, collaboration, options for the reader to publish, etc. to the medium.

What a great time ! Scary and yet full of opportunities.

I probably won’t publish anything until tuesday….So happy weekend and for my fellow „Germaniacs“: Frohe Pfingsten….. the celebration and „holydays“ of the Holy Spirit.

I workshipped 7 days through and finally reached “Freedays” entry into the “weakend”….

In the end of my 7 day Genesis with 11 to 14h per day I reallly feel weakness. I have to get my jump off from my work which I consider my blissness. Following my bliss is a real addictive drug and it’s hard to really stop from working AND thinking of work related stuff.

So I give it a try now……

Would love to write some more clever, deep, intelligent, informative, blahblah stuff but can’t go on…..

Peace2Uall
