SL is like some descriptions I've read of the bardo, the post-death state discussed by Tibetan Buddhists: no corporeal body; the ability to travel anywhere; the ability to see into anything; etc.
There's no lag and no money in the bardo, as far as I know.

I have imagined SL as something close to how I envision heaven to be.
Minus of course all the technical bad stuff. But with so many things that avatars can do that go beyond our human abilities, if not angelic then at least super human. Pru |

and if anyone can clarify. Do angels have sex? And more important if they do, do they feel it or is the sensation dispatched else ware. Maybe that’s why there’s reincarnation.

Matthew 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven."

Pru Well, according to Milton, they do. This is Raphael's response to Adam's question about this: To whom the Angel, with a smile that glowed Celestial rosy red, Love's proper hue, Answered. Let it suffice thee that thou knowest Us happy, and without love no happiness. Whatever pure thou in the body enjoyest, (And pure thou wert created) we enjoy In eminence; and obstacle find none Of membrane, joint, or limb, exclusive bars; Easier than air with air, if Spirits embrace, Total they mix, union of pure with pure Desiring, nor restrained conveyance need, As flesh to mix with flesh, or soul with soul. _____________________

Also, you'd need a way to bring in the offline part of the experience (designing in GIMP and other software) plus the forums where serious talk happens. . Hmm that would be kind of neat to integrate programs like Blender and Photoshop(for examples) into SL. _____________________

I’ve skimmed through Paradise Lost and the Bible but I’m going to have to put Mathew over Milton on this one.
