Reality Sandwich

[daniel]

Hi folks,

We are getting closer to launching Reality Sandwich. We have a terrific site design, and logo. We are still looking for people who have an interest in the evolution of consciousness and are willing to commit to a certain number of posts (that can be short) per week. The writing has to be lucid and professional. If anyone on the BOTH board is interested in exploring this, please email me off-line at daniel@breakingopenthehead.com

Hi Daniel, I think you should have writers from each tribe:
Originals, Orgiastics, Sustainers, Evolvers and Visioneers.
On UFO matters you can trust the work of Dr. Michael Salla.

-All of Michael's information is based on fact. Logical fact not emotion or heresy. Love, Karyn

portions of the logo verge on exquisite. particularly the 'y'. there is
some cluttery crap going on with the 'a', 'S', and 'n' that are
detracting. turns it into a hodgepodge...looks like graphics by
committee, or some such nonsense. i'd suggest either simplifying
it, or else taking the flamboyance further; right now it is sort of
in-between.

So, what ever happened to this project? Did the dog eat your Reality Sandwich (as Nyk suggested on another thread)? Sad, I was hoping this would take off.

[Humming]

[nanouk]

[Isaiah Mpski]

[Caprinardo Delirio]

mexico is a state of mind, isaiah..

..like brazil!

you see, some of us do not truly enjoy either our state of location or state of mind before they're daemonized thoroughly enough that the exterior becomes sufficiently suffused with only our selves, so that all becomes our own locale and then there really seems little sense in moving much about, now isn't that true?!

[Isaiah Mpski]

Yes Cap,everybody needs a home,where he or she can be "loved".
Has anyone heard anything from Charlie?
And you Daniel.
What are your plans for going to Mexico?

[craazyman]

it's good to have a place like that as a home base, to charge for the other journeys

[Caprinardo Delirio]

hey, did all drugs get legalized in mexico?

there was strong talk, or whatever..

[Isaiah Mpski]

......................yes................?


Just like everywhere else Cap.Depends on who you are and what kind of money you can come up with.
It's a bunch of shit man.You might as well go ahead and kill yourself if all you think about is "gittin high" although Mexico does have much "better" drugs.

[Caprinardo Delirio]

oh, i enage in many many acts, most without drukqs..

..but i do like to get high, damn it!

[Humming]

Hi folks,

I hope people will check out our new site, www.realitysandwich.com. I am very excited about it.

We have forums but they are currently in their infancy. Perhaps people from this forum would like to nominate some forum titles and themes? I am open to all sorts of suggestions and creative input.

Below is the text from the About section of Reality Sandwich, to give you a deeper perspective on the project:

Hi folks,

My new web magazine, Reality Sandwich (realitysandwich.com) has just launched. I hope you will take the time to check it out, join our community, and let me know what you think. Also, please tell your friends about us!

The text below is from the "About" section of our website, if you want a deeper perspective on what we are doing.

Yours,

ABOUT

Reality Sandwich is a web magazine for this time of intense transformation. Our subjects run the gamut from sustainability to shamanism, alternate realities to alternative energy, remixing media to re-imagining community, holistic healing techniques to the promise and perils of new technologies. We hope to spark debate and engagement by offering a forum for voices ranging from the ecologically pragmatic to the wildly visionary (which, to our delight, sometimes turn out to be the one and the same). Counteracting the doom-and-gloom of the daily news, Reality Sandwich is a platform for voices conveying a different vision of the transformations we face. Our goal is to inspire psychic evolution and a kind of earth alchemy.

For the launch of the site, we've assembled dozens of regular contributors who will post a variety of content, including thought pieces and essays, short news stories, video clips, and audio podcasts.

As Reality Sandwich develops, we will become much more than a traditional online magazine. Reality Sandwich will merge media with a social network that facilitates connections between the members of our international community. As our features present visionary ideas and new tools for sustainable living, the social network will support our members in using these new concepts and techniques in their own lives, as well as facilitating discussions about their own journeys of discovery.

We hope you will register to become a member of Reality Sandwich. As a member, you can write comments about blog posts, take part in the online forum, and receive Reality Sandwich email announcements and updates. You also get a public profile page on the site, so you can say who you are and what interests you. The "contact" feature on your profile page allows other members to send you messages – without revealing your email address to them. (To use this feature, you have to click the "personal contact form" box toward the bottom of the Account Settings page in your profile.) Soon we will introduce the full social networking component.

Also check out our special announcements and newsletter for information about Reality Sandwich events around the country. Our goal is to have the Reality Sandwich community extend organically, from virtual contacts to real-world interactions. We realize, and appreciate, that the real processes of evolution and self-development takes place far away from computer screens and jingling cell phones, and we intend to bridge the gap between the digital and physical realm. Our hope is that Reality Sandwich will enrich the lives of its users in directly tangible and meaningful ways.

The name "Reality Sandwich" is borrowed from a work by the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg – it is a prime example of his use of startling verbal juxtapositions to suggest new ideas and connections. We're grateful to the Allen Ginsberg Trust for their blessing and encouragement, and suggest you check out what they're up to.

The web development was accomplished by the virtuosos of CivicActions, a firm of open-source specialist consultants. They've built the site using the popular open source publishing system Drupal. We understand that open source software, and a sharing attitude toward intellectual property in general, is crucial for revitalizing the commons and inspiring new forms of social initiatives.

For the next couple of months we will be in a "beta" phase. We'll test things out, see what works, add new features, and reinvent as we go. This is a bootstrap operation which we intend to build into a viable, sustainable company that pays its heavy lifters. During the process, we look forward to hearing your feedback on all aspects of the site.

Some Native American prophesies talk about this era as the time of "dreaming the world awake." So let's wake up together, and dream.
