It all started when Mira brought up this topic during one of our chats while sitting around on the rocks in Paradise. I have never heard of these ideas before so I was really keen to find out more about the different behavior types Pamala talks about in her lectures.
In her class intro Pamala says :
“The realities of multiple perceptions by those populating our virtual environment are diverse. This class will examine how it is to BE in world. Divided in three categories… Dissassociative, Immersive, and Augmentative.
How all three are valid methods of Being, but how the interactions played out can be major drama fest. Lets examine how to tell where the avatar you’re talking to is on the sliding scale of BEING…
A good class for those who wish to understand the mental framework of their students, target markets for business, and the psychology of virtual being. And an excellent class as a basis for understanding virtual relationships. “
You can see some of her slides from 2009 here and her video based on these slides here.
Thanks Pamala for the great talk, in fact I’d love to hear it at least one more time – it did give me lots to think about. These thoughts I find quite useful even when applied to RL situations.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to get to know your group & your aspirations for the world & working so diligently toward making paradise.
Diversity is both a blessing & a bain… smile. So if we can somehow understand perspectives.. or at least understand that OUR perspective may not be the only perspective…. at least we might get dialog…
Then hopefully understanding & a way to integrate into that very paradise.
Thank you Sunshine.. you are brillant & it was a pleasure to be of service. Would love to come again to speak for any group that wishes to understand the perspective of virtual existence.
Hugs all…
Big hugs back Pamala – thank you for popping in 😉 Yes I am planning to arrange one more talk – may be I will have some chats on the topic with people to prepare them even better first. Thanks again for being so wise – looking forward to attending more of your classes and get into this topic deeper.
