For the past few years, I have been on and off visiting Second Life.  For those of you who don’t know what it is, Second Life is a virtual reality world where you can create your own character (avatar) and meet people.

Second Life is an interesting place filled with groups that reflect real life, RL interest.  I found groups raging from my favorite Mystic Academy to a Rosicrucian hangout and more. You can find… virtually anything.

There are some fascinating aspects to Second Life.  Depending on who you are, you will represent yourself in different ways.  I find that most people like to show an improved or alter ego of who they are in real life.  Many come across as overly sexy avatars to outright colorful ones, adorned in almost super heroesque costumes.  I decided to represent myself as… myself, as close as I could.

The other interesting tidbit about Second Life is that it is a place for virtual meetings.  Some companies have already understood this and are using it to their advantage.

Finally, Second Life can be a great place to look for like-minded people and as usual, you will find whatever you attract.  If you need a tour, come to Mystic Academy and if you see Nickster Shinji, say hi and he will give you a tour.
