Lesson Twelve!
More On The Concept of Reality!
Your instructor is Professor
Taltos!
Reality is
a word I deal a lot with. If it isn’t the reality of everyday life,
it’s the reality of looking at the research that makes up my work. I
think I handle the reality of life fairly well. I enjoy learning all I
can, and I understand that to expect life to be fair and honest all the
time is irrational. The only thing we can do is try to be fair and
honest in governing our own lives, and hope the favor will be returned.
Realistically we can only hope the scales of justice fall close to even
in the end for us. To expect or demand more than that is only futile,
believe me.
This
doesn’t necessarily make me a cynic. It does make me a realistic
person. In all fairness generally if you’re basically a good person to
other people, you usually will be treated well in return. There will
always be the occasion when it seems you can’t get a break no matter
what. This is where I get the reputation of being a bitch. For every
time I hear someone whining away about their life, I rarely have an
encouraging word for them. I do believe, if you are a decent kind of
person, it shows. It shows in the friends you have and how people treat
you. So stop sitting on your duff whining and start doing something
about the way things are for you. If you don’t know how to improve
your life, then for God sake find out. That’s the only advice I give
and that’s why people sometimes think I am a cold-hearted bitch.
Let me try
to explain where I’m going with this. For as long as I can remember I
have had the ability to distance myself from a situation. By distance I
mean I create an illusion in my head that helps me stand aside from
things. I call upon this ability to help me when it comes to dealing
with the things in life that I am uncomfortable doing, (speaking in
public, sending my writing to an editor), those kinds of things.
Distancing
was something I thought everyone did. When I was a teenager, I
discovered not all people can distance. It was at that point that I
began to study it. As time went by, I became very good at understanding
and experiencing things this way. It has helped me to overcome some
really hard shyness issues. Once I had overcome the shyness I was full
steam ahead and haven’t really stopped since. To me life has always
been one big classroom, and I like it that way.
The most
important thing I have ever learnt was you never stop learning; my Mom
told me that. Taking what abilities I have been blessed with and
enhancing them by studying and learning from them has given me more joy
than I can ever put into words. It has created for me a world where
everything is enhanced. Because it is enhanced, my fondest memories stay
very sharp and alive in my mind.
This can,
however, be a double-edged sword. If I’m not careful, I can seem
either a bit flaky or emotionally cold. A ripple effect is created when
I distance myself too far away from reality. So I have to be careful to
stay on a level plateau. Basically I am a very realistic person who has
learnt to be able to find a different way of looking at some of the
every day things that go on around me.
Because of
distancing, I was able to create Professor Taltos. Taltos has been my
alter ego for as long as I can remember. Although it was thanks to Anne
Rice that he finally was given a permanent name. I believe I created him
to overcome my shyness as a child. Basically Taltos is my clown face for
the world to see. Because
even though he is my alter ego, I am still his creator. For anyone who
may question my sanity at this point I say, I know I created him. I may
have created Taltos for a lot of different reasons that don’t really
matter right now. What does matter is I am very much in touch with
reality, so don’t worry about me. (Yes Marlene I mean you dear!)
Professor
Taltos is my friend, and he has never let me down whenever I have called
upon him. He has allowed me to go to places and do the things I love.
Those of you whom I met in chat rooms will understand how simple this
is. But those who only live their lives in the ‘real world,’ may
think I have lost my mind. But fear not, for I believe if we are honest,
we all have a form of an alter ego of some kind. Some of us are just a
little more on the outspoken side of this issue.
I love my Taltos, very much. He has been a lifelong friend. Some people have a
Drop Dead Fred, and I have Taltos! No this doesn’t seem strange to me!
Because I created Taltos, I can go to the chats, and I can experience
all the wonders there is to find there. I can write about those things
because, when I think I can’t write, Taltos is always behind me,
urging me on. We have a simple relationship, I am shy at heart and
Taltos isn’t. When I have to do something I am uncomfortable with, he
is always at the ready. Thus I am able to go out and do a lot of things
I know I would never otherwise do, like write Cyber-Sex.
I hope
this clears up any confusion that some of you may have about who is
writing this and why. To me it’s a simple explanation, and I hope I
have been clear enough in my explanation. I will now turn over the
podium to Professor Taltos and ask that you all pay attention as he
relays to you what he has been doing in the chat rooms and why. I ask
that you please keep in mind that these are Taltos’s experiences and
not mine. (Does that make you feel better Phillip?) Please enjoy your
lesson.
For the
remainder of today’s lesson I would like to take you to one of my
favorite rooms in chat. The theme to this room is role-play…meaning
pretty well anything goes, as long as no one gets hurt. There are some
rules of conduct, as with most rooms. They are simple: no swearing, if
someone doesn’t want to chat then leave them alone, and the most
important one, no minors allowed. It is up to the hosts of the rooms to
make sure the rules are enforced. The rest of what goes on is up to
individuals.
I had
decided a long time ago when I began this lesson plan that this wasn’t
going to be a smut fest. However that doesn’t mean we can’t explore
some of the more popular chat rooms. I would also like to point out that
I think there is a big difference between porn and erotic. What may be
considered porn to one may be erotic to another. It is up to the
individual. Since I am the instructor I guess you’re stuck with my
definitions.
For today
I will be just laying out the basic situation for you. Sort of an
introduction to a role-play room. It can be a lot of fun and very erotic
if you go about things in the right way. I have chosen role-playing
simply because it seems to be the most popular of the rooms. I believe
this is because you can have any situation you want sexually in these
rooms. If you are willing to take the time to look, you will find
someone who shares your interests. Whatever they may be.
My tastes
were running to the dark side, one day and I decided I wanted to find a
pal to play with. Upon entering a castle, far away from the real world,
I found a friend. His name is ‘Blood Raven’ and he made it clear to
me it didn’t really matter what sex I was right from the beginning. He
believes, in cyber-land, it doesn’t really matter what you are. What
does count in this circumstance is your mind able to reach far enough to
be able to experience the whole thing.
I tell
anyone who asks (meaning all my friends and family) don’t be so
skeptical. When it comes to your imagination, if you haven’t been
exercising it, you may find one day you don’t have one any more. I
have met many an adult that seemed to me, dry and humorless. I’ve
always attributed their behavior to a lack of imagination or the
inability to be able to use it. Whatever the reason it’s a sad thing
to see.
When I met
my ‘Raven’ he immediately gave me the impression he had the gift of
a wonderful imagination. We hit it off right away, and he seemed
extremely comfortable with my using him as my example for the lesson
plan. Feeling as comfy with him as he seemed with me, I let him take the
lead as we approached the subject of role-playing.
“I lay
myself at your feet Mistress awaiting your command.” As I read his
reply, I realized in some way there was a drum beginning a soft tempo in
my brain. I closed my eyes and could see my clothes become the long soft
silks and satins I love to wear. My hair fell over my shoulders free
from all ties. I hate the ones I usually keep my mop in check with.
He keeps
talking to me, telling me of his desires to be what he believes I am a
true creature of the night. For he has taken me to a mystical place,
surroundings he believes I belong in. A castle, dark and silent, except
for a soft drumming that comes from with-in the halls. It’s the kind
of place that keeps me safe, away from the prying eyes of the world. My
chambers are drawn up of soft colors and earth tones. The bed is plush
and very big. Lots of pillows are thrown about; the effect is nice and
makes me want to lie down. A warm fire is burning in the
hearth>>>>>>>
It’s
here I think I shall stop, this is more than enough for one day. If you close your eyes and use your imagination perhaps you can
come with me to the castle. Then you will really enjoy the rest of my
tale. But that too shall have to wait until next time.
For now this is Professor
Taltos signing off!
