Immersive experiences can be inspiring, surprising and exciting for end users, Actual Harbin Hot Springs pools are also immersive

Harbin ethnography:


... open-ended quality of these immersive experiences can be inspiring, surprising and exciting for end users.

Actual Harbin Hot Springs pools are also immersive, and in my interpretation of actual Harbin involve “the experience of entering into the simulation of a three-dimensional environment” which is warm water, with other people who are naked, and where the simulation includes the bodymind's experience of a specific kind of relaxation response, tactilely mediated - in water at body temperature - in this aqueous, three-dimensional environment. In actual Harbin, the visual aspect of this watery 'simulation,' to distinguish this from a screen-simulation – the experience of being in the unusual, beautiful environment of the Harbin warm pool, for example - isn't mediated by a screen, but rather by the touch of the warm water, and perhaps a friend, or puddles of friends, which occurs with some frequency in the Harbin warm pool. So the simulation of virtual Harbin as screen-simulated place, and the simulation of actual Harbin as warm water-simulated place have similar immersive effects. In this ethnographic interpretation, actual Harbin's immersive warm water-simulation qualities of virtualness correspond closely in life with virtual Harbin's immersive qualities as three dimensional space. In virtual Harbin immersion experience on screen, add sitting warm water in your bath tub at home with visiting this digital environment, and you can begin to elicit the relaxation response further. At actual Harbin, as you release in the immersive aqueous environment of the warm pool, and begin to look around in this beautiful actual place, with naked people, some cuddling, and all experiencing the effects of the body temperature water, you have a parallel immersive experience, similar yet different. In suggesting various qualities of immersion vis-a-vis actual and virtual experiences of Harbin Hot Springs, warm water comes to extend and re-define aspects of defining 'immersion' vis-a-vis digital environments).

Flight: Immersion refers to “the experience of entering into the simulation of a 3-D environment”. Second Life is technically a 3-D environment in 2-D

Harbin ethnography:


... a unique trail of personal association for the avatar builder who spoke with actual Ishvara.

Immersion refers to “the experience of entering into the simulation of a three-dimensional environment” (Packer and Jordan 2001: xxxi). Second Life is technically a three-dimensional environment in a two-dimension environment, since avatars move through three-dimensional space in a xyz grid, while endusers control their avatar, and engage this immersive experience, on a two-dimensional screen. 'Virtual reality' three-dimensional environments often can refer to digital simulations experienced with 'gloves,' 'hats,' and other prostheses that let individuals enter into immersive experiences in other ways besides visually and auditorially; such immersive experiences make possible tactile, kinesthetic and even olfactory experiences, for example. But both Second Life and Open Simulator are three-dimensionally immersive from an avatar's perspective, as well as immersive in three-dimensions, on a two-dimensional screen, from an end-user's perspective. Avatar immersion in Second Life includes the ability to fly, as well as the ability to build three-dimensional objects in this three-dimensional space. The open-ended quality of these immersive experiences can be inspiring, surprising and exciting for end users.

(Actual Harbin Hot Springs pools are also immersive ...

Oak Tree Branch: Hypermedia refers to “the linking of separate media elements to one another to create a trail of personal association”

Harbin ethnography:


... Interactivity in virtual Harbin is what will further Harbin as counterculture.

Hypermedia refers to “the linking of separate media elements to one another to create a trail of personal association” (Packer and Jordan 2001: xxx). In Second Life, the act of building accentuates this process in unique ways. The sheer number of avatar builders also informs a scale of building that both leads to individual trails of personal association, but also affects all of the Second Life, and Open Simulator, environments as fascinating group associations. In virtual Harbin, such linkings inform and emerge in relation to actual Harbin. For example, Harbin's founder, Ishvara, who still lives at Harbin, might say to an avatar builder that the Heart-shaped pool in the pool area was built in the early 1980s as an expression of Heart Consciousness Church. And, in building the virtual Heart-shaped pool, the avatar builder of virtual Harbin might then create Hypermedia that makes it possible, if the first virtual Harbin heart shape pool is full with avatars practicing watsu, allow them to click a heart which then creates a temporary 2 heart shaped pool in the sky above. Such hypermedia, informed by actual Harbin history by its founder, Ishvara, then makes possible the linking of media elements which become a unique trail for the avatar builder who spoke with actual Ishvara.

Immersion refers to “the experience of entering into the simulation ...

Cathedral Rocks, Yosemite: Exploring a 'reductio ad neurophysiology,' Loving bliss letters aren't Reductive, Getting to this Neurophysiology

... exploring a 'reductio ad neurophysiology' these days - how does the neurophysiology of loving bliss elicitation work, naturally, for example?

How much can be reduced to this neurophysiological experience and that bodymind neurophysiological experience.




*

And these 'Loving bliss letters' ~ scottmacleod.com/links.htm ~ aren't very reductive.

Here's World University and School's Loving Bliss 'subject' where we can all teach and learn: worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_%28eliciting_this_neurophysiology%29.

Listening to music seems to be the way to get there most readily, naturally.

Red Freesias: Arriving to Harbin in the mist and rain

Arriving to Harbin
in the mist
and rain,

after an amazing
flax seed oil
omega fatty acids'
drive
through the
moist, wet, alive
Napa Valley,
listening to the Dead,

I walk up
past the temple
with the dance,
up through the
wet, dark, verdant garden
and ascend the steps
of Stonefront Lodge.

Walking down past me,
he asks "Are they
dancing down there?"
Nice words :)
Yea, they're dancing,
dancing, dancing
in the temple.

I walk up farther past
the Health Services'
Massage Office and into the
pool area dressing room.
Five women are naked,
here changing,
with no men around right now.
And there's a sculptor I know
who has made
beautiful art
at Harbin.
Oh, and now she in the
dressing room is very pregnant.


Into the waters -
the warm pool
releases so profoundly -
and lovely oneness comes.
I sit in lotus
on the shelf
at the end of the pool
and release,
and release,
into the now~
Home again.

Rain drops
in the pool
form spider webs.
Rain drops
on our heads
bring weather home.
Wet from above,
and the warm
water is all around …

such a fluid world.

Out of the pools,
I walk down to bed.

In the morning,
I awake with money
concerns.

Arising early
on a quiet damp
mid-week morn,
I head into
the empty temple
to explore
the relaxation response.
It's warm and welcoming,
and I sit -
relaxation response
MMmmm. :)

This ocher floor
is a cosmos -
with red galaxies
and brown cloud formations, -
native American earth
in Harbin temple.

Iceberg: Is this BP Gulf of Mexico ecological disaster, & societal response, an ex. of what's to come w managing Global Warming? WUaS Software Focus

Is this BP Gulf of Mexico ecological disaster, and societal response, an example of what's to come with managing Global Warming and Climate Change?

Let's develop plans now to manage rising oceans and global warming. An open subject about this is already here at WUaS: worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ocean_%26_Climate_Management_Plan (accessible here: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects).


(In light of the major ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with thousands of gallons of gas spewing out daily there for more than a month now, here's a solar car (sunnev.com) which goes 20-30 mph by an inventor in Maine: http://scottmacleod.com/EnergyAutonomy.htm. Let's get away from fossil fuel use - the Prius made it to market).

Here's a new MIT eco-friendly airplane design: web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2010/nplus3-0517.html

Is World Univ & Sch - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com - like Stanford & UC Berkeley in the 1890s? Will it become the Harvard / MIT of online universities & software?


Let's make World University and School excel in software and information technology.
