When you arrive in an unfamiliar country, everything is still to be discovered. It's much the same when you arrive in Second Life: how to personalise your avatar, how to join communities and interest groups, how to create things and places, how to organise events. During my first virtual steps, I was pleasantly surprised by the generosity and availability of the residents, who were often ready to help me out and explain to me how to evolve and create in this world. 

Who am I?

In all its beauty and complexity, the human body is a vehicle used by the soul to experience material and biological life. Existence precedes birth and continues after the death of this vehicle. We have other vehicles adapted to other dimensions, for example the astral body, which we use to move around when the physical body is resting. It's the same I Am who uses these different vehicles, with the same ease. 

After a short period of acclimatisation, the same phenomenon occurs with your avatar. You no longer think ‘ah, I'm a body talking to another body’; you talk, you exchange, you act. You develop a relational and creative activity in a specific environment. 

Perhaps this is due to the anonymity, or the space of freedom inherent in this world, or perhaps intuition takes over from the usual five senses: synchronicities and coincidences abound in Second Life. It's a space governed by mutual attraction. Ideas and feelings become magnetic, and interests converge or diverge dynamically. 

For vulnerable and immature people, exploring the Metaverse can also prove disastrous: projecting hopes and expectations onto others very often leads to bitter disappointment. 

Finally, the Metaverse offers interesting possibilities in certain therapies. For example, the immersion experience combined with role-playing or role-playing situations can help to modify neurotic behaviour and even cure phobias. 

The best way to approach the Metaverse is to be delighted to have discovered a new space for individual and collective creation. Creation in the broadest sense of the term.

The Buddha said: ‘It is your mind that creates the world. Everything you experience in Second Life will subtly change you and affect others, in all worlds. That's why I spice up my life and my art with beauty and love.
