Storm Nordwind is no longer keeping this blog current

This blog contains a diary of the Second Life avatar Storm Nordwind's first experiences of Play as Being, from April 2008.

The early entries of this blog are still interesting (to me at least) but from September 2008 onwards there's no real content.


Storm supported Play as Being until 2015 but no longer keeps this blog active. It is here now only as a matter of record.

Want IQ?

My teacher told me tonight of a 4 month retreat she went on some time ago. During that time she participated in 4 meditation sessions every day, totalling 8 hours a day. Understandably, her powers of concentration improved no end.

Concentration is a mental factor whose function is to bring peace. It also brings suppleness - a comfort and flexibility - to the mind. But something else as well. During the retreat, her teacher told her that the effect of this level of sustained improved concentration was the equivalent to increasing your IQ by 40 points!

My teacher is a genius. Or was! :)
