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.

Seeing as Being 1

This is a progression from existing Play as Being practice. Piet Hut has suggested this extension, but actually it turns out that this is pretty much what I've been doing all along so far anyway! (Is that an "Oops! Sorry - jumped the gun!" or a "Good! Hooray - I've been getting something right!" :) More details of this when the Play as Being Wiki has been updated with details of this extension. At the moment it is only publicly in the chat log here.
  • I feel solid. Everything feels solid. But not physically solid! And not separately solid. There seems no boundary between me and everything else. "I" seems inappropriate. And yet there seems a flow of one thing into another, one part of this "Being" into another, like an ocean current.
  • Being is breathing. Being is seeing... myself. Everywhere: me.
  • Have you ever let someone else look through your eyes? I have. Even with someone you trust it's exhausting and it feels strange. This doesn't feel strange. I sit in a darkened room in front of a window. It is night outside. In the window I see the reflection of myself, illuminated by the screen of my laptop. My reflection seems separate and 8 feet away from me, and then suddenly I become it, we merge - it is powerful. I am Being, looking in, looking out. I feel tears run down my face.
