I lost myself to a tangent in the previous post, and in this one I am going to try to stick to the titular material. Let's pick up where we left off: there is a way to create things in the metaphysical world that can be likened to a forge.
There are two main properties of this forge element: firstly, the forged item will be made out of a colorful, meaning-inlaced material that is a combination of language and matter; and secondly, the forging process must occur without an interruption in the "bellows" of the mind. With these two facts in mind, anything can be created, as long as the user has imagination.
The material used to fabricate metaphysical objects is about as mysterious an element as metal was to stone age societies. I don't know where it comes from, what the extent of its properties are, or even if a limited amount of it exists. (I know that the idea of an imaginary construct with an element of scarcity is preposterous in a philosophical manner, but I have experienced some things that point in that direction.) The material that these objects are made out of is ever-fluctuating, hard to form into solid objects, and requires skill in imagination to work. Thus, only some gods ever managed to control this substance.
The second part of the forging process is a continuous input of what I can only describe as "psychic energy." An interesting fact about this "psychic energy" is that its flow is interrupted when you blink. Thus, in order to forge complex objects without screwing up, you either have to keep your eyes open without blinking for minutes at a time, or figure out a way to keep the flow going even when your eyes are closed. My theory regarding this matter is that, just like our physical eyes need blinking to moisten them, our metaphysical ocular apparatus (which can be called a third eye) also needs to blink. And our physical and metaphysical bodies blink at the same time in most circumstances.
The problem is that, when forging, a blink can devastate the end result. One blink. Watch this video by Ted-Ed to see an example of this in mythology.
In the end, it requires skill to operate this metaphysical forge, just like in real life. And just like real life metallurgy, it is vastly complicated and cannot be understood by a single trailblazer. This is the kind of problem that an entire society can take centuries and dozens of generations of endless work to understand. I'm just one man.
I really, really don't know how I'm going to do this.

On the Properties of the Metaphysical Forge
There are, in mythology, a number of gods who work a certain magical device that is likened to a forge in this material world. Gods like Hephaestus (and others whose names I don't remember) create magical artifacts that can do all sorts of crazy things using techniques that are portrayed as being similar to blacksmithing. However, this interpretation is misleading at best, and wrong at worst. A metaphysical forge, for one, does not use fire--it uses the power of the awakened mind. The bellows that feed these "flames" of pure idea are operated by opening up your [Translation one: third eye] [Translation 2: Pineal Gland] [Translation 3: Active Imagination] and letting thoughts form into objects that have function and power in the metaphysical world.
I haven't yet figured out how to reliably make these objects function in the material world, and I haven't found a way to be paid for my work, but preliminary investigation makes it seem that these "objects" are similar to videos on a web page: they have ideological form and can be accessed with a web browser (having only a metaphysical effect on the material plane.) You can play with them, make them, and have them perform actions.
It's been a while since I last posted, (at least on my blog) and I have to say that I've abandoned the TMMORPG for now as being too complicated to create before I understand the true nature of what I'm working with. Instead, I am going to try my best to see what the most basic functions of this system are and reverse engineer them so that I can combine actions and ideas to make the foundation for a system that may result in a "telepathic internet." Results are not promising as of right now, mostly because anyone who is already in a state to operate in this system is most likely delusional and cannot separate what is "reality" and what is "thought." Though they are a lot less defined than what their semantics instill.
Let me go on a tangent about the kind of delusion that I am talking about. Not "seeing things," but "thinking things." As in, taking in what one experiences and creating a summation of the events that resembles a conspiracy cave wall with newspaper clippings, photos, and strings attached to pins. Most people who see this world (schizophrenics, people in the middle of induced psychosis due to drugs) make connections that are untestable, unstable, and lead to decisions and actions that are quintessential to the umbrella of "crazy." My theory on this matter is that humans are about to step into (or reclaim) a world that is to us what land was to the fish before land animals. I mean, what fish can imagine a world where the seafloor is not covered in water? (Amphibious fish notwithstanding. It's just a metaphor, guys.) Again, as I have stated before, adaptation to survive in a wildly different environment comes not in neat, parceled little packages that incrementally advance the new limb, brain function, or organ. The first fish to have lungs that, even a little, could operate in a gaseous environment (before the refinement that led to amphibians) were probably less suited to living in the water than those whose lungs were fine-tuned for a liquid one. The same is true of schizophrenics and those who can be called "crazy."
Let me continue on this course to explain why I am at an impasse considering help on my project. And, make no mistake: though I am flexible and intelligent, and competent in the design of systems, I am not an artist, programmer, or marketer. I am a simple guy who is working with an incomprehensibly big and strange subject, likened to a caveman trying to figure out how to solve a Millenium Prize problem. (Look it up.)
And, though I have had a few successes, I have yet to expand the horizons of my efforts beyond myself and the crazies and no-goods that I meet telepathically. Because, "enlightenment," or "awakening," or "being in the know" creates an unstable brain that must be controlled through some sort of medicating device. In other words, the only people who are willing to listen to me are too crazy to be of help, and the people who I need (grounded, intellectual individuals with a sane operating modus) are, almost universally, unable to conceive the world I am trying to describe--and thus, they cannot see it. Very few people combine a truly open mind with a rational thought pattern that won't result in them worshipping me because of how I appear up there. (I have a very big presence when I want to.)
Yes, I technically am of the same "stuff" as most deities (I have reason to believe so though I haven't tested it out yet, and won't know until I die or something crazy happens), but I am of the belief that, with the proper training, anyone can become like me. It just requires a certain combination of traits that is very rare, and are even harder to find than their naturally occurring rate, because most sane people who have seen the metaphysical universe hide it for fear of being misunderstood and, at the very least, losing their ethos among their posse.
If you are sane and want to help me, email me at minerzep@gmail.com, or join my discord server: TMMORPG
I'm looking for driven, curious, and rational people who can help me understand the world that I am working with. Payment (there will be payment) will, for the time being, be made in metaphysical currency that I obtained from an alien civilization (I think?) that really liked my sentient problem-solving algorithm.
