How Do You Feel About This Forum? (Avalon)

[Shellie]

I believe that the whoever is the last witness to be put up on video on Camelot at any given time is the one who's attitudes and beliefs colors Avalon at that time. If Bill and Kerry would like to change what is happening here on Avalon, the best thing they could do is control the information we are getting- sponsored by them- through the witnesses. If they choose to make this a metaphysical forum and cut out all the practical stuff, then they can choose that. But I do not think they will, considering the objectives they have listed.

The best thing that can be done to help Avalon push ahead would be if B & K were to find witnesses who aren't going to tell us what is going to happen or what to do, but HOW to do it. Our minds are swimming with hundreds of scenarios and possibilities and time-lines, and we all have a vague sense of "be physically and mentally prepared" but... We are drowning in information. Many of us at PA are strapped for resources, living paycheck to paycheck, or are just now waking up and are still trying to digest everything. In essence, I believe we are so bombarded with "do this" and "do that" that I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of the Members here are paralyzed to do anything and hence haven't done a single thing to get ready yet.

My vote is for B & K to give us a little more guidance via interviews. That should kick start fresh, relevant activity here on PA.

This site is fantastic!

Keep it up!

Hi,

I am the mod who moves all the election propaganda to Off Topic.
It is propaganda, not serious political stuff.

Serious political stuff has a place here..imho.


and I feel this is a great forum. And it should be a free of charge forum as well.

I agree with earlier comments regarding there being too much input which does not really add anything to debate. A narrower field in which to comment would be better, with instructions to stay strictly within the confines of the topic.
When I first signed up I was a regular visitor, now I find myself going back to P. Camelot.

I am happy and contented with everything !
And as for disinfo agents they can say what they want, but they can't change the reality.

Hello Everyone.

I assure all of you that I am not Bill Ryan. I do not have a british accent.
I don't like wearing hats.

I also stand behind everything that I write. And I am very honest.
My name is not fake. I am not fake.

My name is Kevin Dellinger. I am a composer, writer and artist.
I am married with 2 kids and I live in the United States.

I enjoy the paranormal and spirituality. I also enjoy being
a part of the Avalon forum, although it can be challenging at times.

Peace,
Kevin Dellinger

I'm going for option B.

The forum started off great but members quickly started over zealously self-moderating or seeing the chance to be the prefects that they perhaps missed out on at school.

I read more than I post on here and have noticed that when people post threads about the reality we live in their threads and character get ambushed with accusations, warnings and 'telling off' for being fear mongerers, negative or a bad influence. It's like members are not allowed to think for themselves or have discussions. Now fair enough, I agree that we should always try to better ourselves ethically and spiritually, 'raise our vibrations' as many say on here and endeavor to have a positive influence but for many that also means addressing the reality we live in head on rather than thinking we have to keep quiet about it lest the mention of negative things ensures they happen. Sure having a positive focus is a good thing but ignoring the negative isn't always constructive and to be treated like there isn't a choice on this forum 'for our own good' is going past good intentions. I've noticed many posters who want to address these issues have started posting disclaimers in their threads that specifically say things like 'I'm not fear mongering or being negative but...' just in case they get jumped on by the very people who are trying to spread love and light or start unnecessary friction. Conversely, calling people 'hippies' or 'new agers' is hardly helping.

This forum was apparently started to address physical issues and networking due to negative situations in the reality we live in. I think the spiritual, mental and emotional input is wonderful and provides a good balance, but instead of balance we're getting conflict because people are not showing tolerance for each other and the different approaches people have to addressing and tackling issues. As long as there isn't unethical behaviour, there needn't be so much tension amongst each other.

I also dislike that many posters are being labeled as having 'victim mentality' and 'well if you choose that or let them do that to you then it's your fault' - that's hardly encouraging is it? We live in a reality (or false reality) where we are being influences by so many things both internal and external whereby yes we do make our own decisions and have to accept the consequences, we have to try to be mature and try not to make mistake or consciously negative decisions in the first place but we are also surviving in a web of deceit and manipulation so many of us are both victims and victimisers. We have to acknowledge that and not blame the victims instead of the victimisers or entirely blame someone/thing else without evaluating ourselves. It's hard to be strong or vigilant or positive all the time, have some sympathy - we can't all empathise with each other but a little sympathy can go a long way.

We're all on this board together, so we have to learn to share it or many of us will likely get pushed away.

Just a note - I'm not against self-moderation, it just seems that there are some distinct wedges appearing and hopefully that wont turn into anything akin to pack mentality.

["AGREED ! I'd also add that I wouldn't like to be in B&K's shoes right now because this forum must be so NOT what they anticipated. Ultimately it's got to be a choice between exclusivity or heavy policing. - The problems of running things don't change much, do they?"] -NORMAN


This forum is basically a microcosmic societal study that directly reflects the dynamics of society as a whole... not too mention the social dynamics that will quickly manifest in any given "ground crew" habitat.

I believe that the issues/dynamics raised within this forum will help address issues/dynamics that will rise in ground crew communities...

There will be love, yet fear. "helping hands" yet competition... compassion yet ego struggles.... a "leader-class" will probably have to emerge to combat self defeating infighting due to experiential levels (and their related personality types) in various fields; including weapon, health, infrastructure, spiritual specialists.

This forum is priceless in revealing/predicting the inevitable psycho/social dynamics of proposed ground crew habitats... and how to ameliorate various conflicts. There are no easy, external answers to these problems.

One may quickly find oneself dealing with issues that the "illuminati" ruling class has been dealing with for millenia (without the Luciferian slant, though).

Nothing is as easy as it seems when tools, weapons and egos are involved.

[Pomguymguy]

As many of us here still attempt to scratch each others eyes out
please note: The Universal Mind ( of which we are ALL a tiny part of) knows far more about how YOU feel than any human being could possibly know.

Every THOUGHT is ENERGY - ONCE AGAIN we see a lot of useful ENERGY being wasted on trivial b******t instead of the job in hand - which is ?

MANY OF US HERE APPARENTLY STILL DO NOT KNOW !

this forum is just more merchandising and bussiness from my perspective.

that happens because it don´t shows any novelty.

Avalon could be so much more than it is currently.

What I envision is Camelot and Avalon, the open forums as you have now, plus an educational area which might be comprised of a classroom and library/ research complex.
This value added area might be by subscription. It might be a blogging area for research results. There might be
libraries to download and classroom offerings by qualified
individuals. Ham Radio, for example. These areas by their
nature could not be open to drive by commentary. They would need tight decorum as one would expect in a classroom or library.

Too much to ask? The stub is already there in the research section of the moderator area. Undeveloped real estate. Certainly too much to ask for those who
are only here to be entertained or kill time. How many of you actually intend to build a wind generator, buy a
ham radio, or really store food, One in ten? One in a hundred? If your local society really does go Argentina,
there is no doubt you would suddenly be serious. Seriously out of luck. Like those beating on the door of
Noah's ark after the rains began.

There are other forums where this is happening. Some of the better ones you will never see the inside of.
Alpha Rubicon, for example Rubies earn their keep.
Another Voice of Warning. Gotta pay to peep...
Frugal Squirrel is a good one.

But Avalon trumps them all in size and reach if you the
Avalon public can get your you know what together.

Action talks. IMHO....

[blindeye]

I really think the emphasis should be meeting up in the 'real world' - coming together finding strength and solidarity in numbers. This site , maybe would be best used as a high tech bulletin board to facilitate this, (which in fairness it is.)

Having a forum is good for reflection/meeting/communication, but actual human contact would clarify and consolidate a lot quicker. Then the movement will snowball and provide a real feedback/ direction for Avalon etc.

Maybe this is the vital function. Nothing will change unless we change our own reality;finding an ark, waiting for et's / messiahs etc, a cop out' - only the 'bit' between our teeth matters . I'm as guilty as the next person, I have to disconnect from this lcd screen and break out!
Local ground crew, expect to see me soon...

[whitecrow]

I'm glad this question was asked - not because I see a need for change but because it shows someone somewhere is paying attention. Bill and Kerry are just legendary, characters like Moses that supposedly actually live somewhere but are not seen by the common folk. I see evidence of the moderators' presence now and then when threads get moved around, but otherwise what we have here is the Wild Wild West.

Which is ok with me. There are plenty of threads I have little or no interest in, but that's no reason for me to object to them. I try to remain focused on my own core issue: remaining positive through the shift and trying to teach what I've learned (and to keep on learning). I find many more opportunities for this in daily life than I do here.

To the extent that folks come here to spread and check out rumors about spacemen and disasters, the forum is basically useless...but that's going to be the case with any community like this. Online forums tend to collect people who can't think of anything better to do than sit on their butts and live vicariously. So what? What are ya gonna do - kick 'em out? The forums still work just fine for those of us who are serious. And the dummies might wake up and learn something, it could happen.

We got three thousand people or so, right? There's your soil...many seeds have been planted and are thriving. Some are weeds...but which ones? Your weeds might be my medicinal herbs. My weeds could be your wildflowers.

I say leave it alone and consider this your place to search for the wild asparagus. Plant your own seeds...leave your truth out there. Take what you find useful. No need to argue or protest that someone else left a weed you can't use. Leave it. Someone else might find it and like it.

Now, about disinformation....the forums are full of it. Rather than attempting to eliminate it (which is impossible), I suggest that this is a sterling opportunity for practicing discernment, and detachment. This is an example of how it's better to be FOR something than AGAINST things. We're all against things, and most of us have wasted a lot of time "kicking against the goads." Being positive is never a waste of time, and in the end will accomplish the desired goal not by flogging the negatives but by illuminating the shadows.

Beautiful analogy! I came on board as a mod with the intent of gardening. Some weeds are nutritious, however, too many weeds will choke the flowers. Gardens need tending. Gardening can be zen and an art form. Gardens are nurtured with love.

Dearest Kevin,
i have edited my posts, and, asked others to do so also,
and, i do apologize to you publically,
as, my intention, was NOT to single you out,
but, rather to ask a few questions,
that apparently hit a "bad chord" with NOT only you,
but, also a few other people,
and, that was definitely NOT my intent, or, my intention.
so, i am sorry if my post, was disturbing to you,
and, i hope you see it in your angelic heart...
to forgive me
love
susan - the eXchanger

Thank you Susan. It was just a misunderstanding on my part.
We are all here together. And I want everyone to be happy.
If I feel like I am making someone uncomfortable, it bothers me.
We are all drawn here for a reason. I do believe that you are a
wonderful addition to Avalon. I hold value in your words.
You are forgiven and well respected.

Peace and Love,
Kevin

Let US be the change we would like to see on Project Avalon!

You want it to be a particular way BE THAT WAY

We can practice our transformation here then bring it out to the world!

Keep bringing/being the Light and the darkness will not be able to survive here or in the world.


Before posting let US think about how it will affect the whole

Before attacking let US go within to see why we are choosing to attack our brother/sister/ourselves

Before negating another's opinion let US think about how we would feel if someone negated ours.

Let US choose unconditional love,

Let US see with the eyes of our souls,

Let US listen with our hearts.


We all bring our own unique gifts to the table of life.

TruthWillSetUFree:
I could not have said it better myself! Your words ring true to me...and hopefully to a lot of others as well...

At this point, I think this forum is a good experiment. Good intentions were put into it's creation. Personalities from all over the globe with good & bad intentions conversing. This forum is alive like like the forest floor. All kinds of information, opinions and alternative resources merged into a single entity. We are going through convulsions right now to establish it's identity and I for one am sticking around to see it's true form.

It's Alive!

Wonderful put in words.

Thanks for your participation in this poll. The results of the poll and your comments will be taken into consideration by the mod team and the admin.

Peace,

Agreed, Kat...yet I don't think of the forum as a garden as much as one of those wild places where I go hiking. You don't find the sacred sage in gardens but on hillsides in the back country. I like the wildness of the forums, and the only threads I'd be inclined to "prune" are those where a few jerks just get ugly.
