Yes, this topic belongs here.
I've been considering the topic of rebuilding worlds, astral places, even full realms that have been damaged, or nearly/partially destroyed. Been looking into what and where would need it, the time and energy for it, etc.
What are your thoughts on it?
Edit: Short questionnaire if you want to use it.
1. How complicated would you find the task of rebuilding the world/plane/realm?: 2. If you were limited to your own energy to use, how quickly could you start by preparation?: 3. Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?: 4. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?: 5. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?:

It is both an easy, and a hard task to accomplish. It depends on how you go about it. If you have the energy to expend without caution, and no real regard for the opinions of the inhabitants (ie, your energy could warp their world into something new, for better or worse), it should only take a day to create the pattern needed for the world to start to rebuild itself. I have a lot of energy at my disposal, so I am not sure how long it would take if you did not, or had moderate energy.... Is there anything specific I can answer as it pertains to amount of energy?

I can compile a questionnaire.
1. How complicated would you find the task of rebuilding the world/plane/realm?: 2. If you were limited to your own energy to use, how quickly could you start by preparation?: 3. Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?: 4. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?: 5. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?:
There you go. I'll update the first post with this too.

Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?: 3. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?: 4. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?: btw, you have 5 questions, but the numbering only goes to 4, because you repeat-numbered questions 2 and 3. 1. But easy and difficult. I could make/help rebuild a world/realm/whathaveyou fairly easilt, at a moments notice, but that would only encompass a rough "generalization" of what the realm should be, and that would limit how well the world can rebuild itself. If you will, a slip-shod job. However, it's only dificult in the sense of how much minutae you want ot get specific about, and how much you want to leave completely open to natural evolution of thoughts, ideas, and occurances on that world. 2. Not completly sure what you mean... Preparation of what? 3. Very quickly, unless something is hyper-wrong with the world's basic "programming", that I can't remove, if you will. Then, I would have to make double sure that what I do won't allow the "bug" in ithe programming to destroy what I've created or reactivate. SOrt of like having to back trach and put in a very, very hot firewall. 4. If it's something that I absolutely can not in anyway handle myself, then yes, sometimes help is appreciated. 5. Yup. I know that somewhere, somehow, a trace of my energies is going to get into the world no matter how hard I try, it's just natural. But, I am confident that that little bit (yes, two "that"s are grammatically correct) won't harm the world's natural energy patterns.

1. How complicated would you find the task of rebuilding the world/plane/realm?: An entire world or realm would be very complicated. I'd have to have a feeling of what the world once was, and I'd have to be connecting to the right time frame. If you're trying to restore something recently destroyed, you don't want to take everything back to the very beginning. IE, if one was to restore Earth for humanity, it wouldn't make sense to hone in on the Ice Age's energy signature.
2. If you were limited to your own energy to use, how quickly could you start by preparation?: I could start at any time. It's really just putting all other tasks on hold.
3. Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?: Confidently? Never. But I do it instinctively so it doesn't matter. I just have to keep focusing on that energy, and my own energy kind of "pulls" it into existance...re-existance.
4. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?: Help is always prefered. Just because I could do it on my own doesn't mean I'd want to. The less effort needed to get the end result, the better.
5. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?: Not all the time, I've got a nasty habit of changing things that come into contact with my energy, even if I didn't intend to. The changes aren't bad per se, but sometimes I just wish it didn't happen.

1. How complicated would you find the task of rebuilding the world/plane/realm?: Depends on where and how much work is needed. Generally, I'd find it a rather challenging project, but one I'd happily take part in. Assuming I had help, that is.
2. If you were limited to your own energy to use, how quickly could you start by preparation?: I'd be preparing for 4-6 months by storage. I have a good amount of energy, but 60% of it goes to maintaining barriers, shields, wards, and cloaks I have around myself and certain people very VERY close to me.
3. Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?: 2-3 years, assuming I didn't rush and it's a realm/world. Shorter time for planes, depending on the plane. I'd take my sweet ass time to ensure proper construction and protection to come to minimal disruption.
4. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?: Always, and never refused, so long as the help understood what I'd need them to do and would be able to be a good part of the team.
5. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?: Absolutely, as I'll research the energies for months before I even CONSIDER preparations. Again, this can vary depending on where it is.

Well Kata you've caught me at a bad time I am astrally sick at the moment. I have been getting weaker and weaker over the past couple of months IDK what the nature of this illness is. I suspect poison, or infection of an injury, but their could be more to it. I found a wound on my side, kind of under my arm, and it seems to have been festering for a while. I dont' even remember getting the wound. I probably got it in battle and it wasn't big enough to even think about at the time, judging from the looks of it. It was festered when I noticed it, and spider larve in it. I called in an expert to get rid of the poisonous baby spiders, but I am quite ill... astrally speaking. I've been confined to the house for a good while now, but I am not sure how long. It feels like an eternity, but I think it has just been about a month or so. Lan and Ash have been staying with me a lot, and I have had healers involved, but I'd appreciate any other help anyone could give as well.
Anyway I will answer the questions explaining my normal way of doing things, but under the circumstances the help I could give would be limited, until I recover from this.
1. How complicated would you find the task of rebuilding the world/plane/realm?: There are a lot of variables involved.
It would depend on the laws and properties of that world. I've noticed that some worlds are easier to create on than others. Some worlds are not much more flexible than physical earth, and I heard a discription of one from another person which was even more difficult to manuver and took longer than earth construction.
It would also depend on how big the world was, and how trashed the world was by whatever destroyed it. Do you mean the whole planet blew up or do you just mean the trees are dead, and the buildings are gone? Do they have a water source? Is the water there poluted or poisoned? Do they have a light source or is this world one that went dark? Is their any native life left on the planet at all? If so is their anyone who could help us reconstruct it as it was? Is there someone who could help us replace each thing according to the way it was before, or are we just starting with a blank slate, and disregarding what was there before?
After considering all that, I'd say it would be much more difficult if there is no life left, but if there are human/mamal survivors and some plant life, then it would be a lot easier.
2. If you were limited to your own energy to use, how quickly could you start by preparation?:
That is a very sticky question. Normally I have construction crews of disincarnates who build things for me in my heaven. If I could use my archetect and his builders... I could get construction underway immediately on the buildings... without him? I don't know jack about archetecture by comparison. I also have a link to someone who could figure out the nature part of it probably... they'd use my energy to construct and I could normally replentish the water supply. That would feel like giving blood in the physical though, so maybe not at the moment. Overall I think I could do it once I recover from whatever ails me at the moment, but I'd like to be able to use my construction crew to rebuild any structures, just for the sake of stability of the structure. Normally in my own heaven they can put up a high rise building in 4-8 hours, due to the ease and flexibility of the atmosphere here, but it might be more difficult somewhere else. Still I am sure they could handle it. Each building is constructed to handle physical stresses similar to earth. I personally don't know how to do that, and would prefer my own archetects do that sort of work.
3. Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?:
As soon as I recover I could get a crew out there in a matter of days, maybe hours. How long would it take to complete? I think Kata has a point years might be needed, but with the crew I would send? We are talking man hours so we could divide that by the number of people sent. IT might be possible to do it in months, or maybe one year... it just depends.
4. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?
I would definitely feel more comfortable with help from my construction crew, and from people who could advise me on how things should be for that world. Overall I believe in deligating tasks. Many hands make light work. Also using a team keeps one person from having to be an expert on everything. I would think that one person might not know how to re-establish stability of the planet itself, replant the trees, breed more animal life, and do quality construction. It would take vast and godlike knowledge. I think delegation to experts in each field makes more sense.
5. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?:
I would definitely feel more comforable if I created the world to be as self sustaining as possible to begin with. I have quite a bit that is dependant on my energy as it is, and right now is a prime example of how my ups and downs could effect such a commitment. I've seen what happens when someone who is sustaining large areas with their energy falls ill, or gets weak. The whole place suffers. I have donated waters to others before, because their rivers dried up, and I had it to spare at the time, but I am weak at the moment, and I am concerned for my own rivers. I actually do not know how bad things have gotten since I have become ill. I hope that it will be alright till I get well.
In any case self perpetuation of a world would be best accomplished by leaving someone in charge who has the power to keep it. Someone, or maybe a group of people, who don't have a commitment to a world already, but who has the power to maintain one. I'd say build the world as self sustaining, and deligate its care to someone who would stay there and keep it safe. They could call on me or others if they got into trouble, just as we all do. I could probably get a volunteer, or perhaps even run it in shifts or terms so that if one wanted to leave he could be replaced.

1. How complicated would you find the task of rebuilding the world/plane/realm?:
i would assume that it would be both time consuming and complex.
2. If you were limited to your own energy to use, how quickly could you start by preparation?:
uh, i cant? i dunno.
3. Once you're prepared with above situation, how quickly do you find yourself confidently able to do it?:
just as soon as i can understand wtf is going on, maybe then i can answer.
4. Depending on the amount of work needed, is help preferred?:
uhhh...?
5. Do you find yourself confident on maintaining the natural energies of the world with your work?:
i have no conscious awareness of such things, and no confidence i ever will have such awareness, and no guidance now, nor ever have i had any guidance in these areas of spirituality.
i guess my response was pointless.

Never pointless. I'm looking into "jobs" to assign, but I can't give much more than that.
Mostly, I'm just curious.

I'd be happy to take a "job" working for Kata, as soon as I feel up to it and make sure the stuff I am responsible for already is OK. I think I am getting a little bit better. Also I think I'd prefer construction to battle at the moment. Making things always makes me feel good. From what Kata said about the preparation time table I should be fine by then.
