Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
Here at Pa, we seem to have a very mixed type of poster.
Each of us offer something for the whole of PA to grow and learn from. Even the negative threads offer lessons for all.. but... What does PA stand for exactly? Truth? Freedom of speech? There have been threads that have clearly been created to ignite fear in members souls "Warning Warning Danger Danger" While the MODS discussed whether this behavior was acceptable of not, this tactic helped to feed the pool of negativity that is growing exponentially on this Forum There have been threads that have clearly been created to distract and "dumb down" the general population at PA A certain percentage of the members feel they are to "dub" to understand certain threads... Now this has nothing to do with the level of intelligence of these members. These threads manage to bring down certain peoples self confidence by creating mountains information that only someone with a higher education (or extremely well self taught )could decipher....... again another tactic to feed that proverbial pool... and then there is the Thuban thread... am i mistaken..or have i read that the council wants to "change humans into dragons"??? is this not a veiled threat against the human race? fantasy or not...i take that intent seriously...does PA? Sometimes..some threads remind me of the national inquirer... i doubt this is the image PA wants... i know this is NOT the image the MODS are working to create... There is room for growth on all sides... lets talk...lets disagree...lets listen...lets learn.. Ok..your turn now |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
Dear Celine,
Please let me advise you not to limit yourself reading negative threads/posts here at PA, you might be wasting your time... Instead find interesting and positive books, sacred texts, etc. to read and help yourself grow more spiritual and less fearful. Please don't take my suggestion the wrong way. Quote:
Love and light, Dan |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
Some personal observations:
PA was formed as a complement to Project Camelot. Project Camelot was about whistleblowing the secret agenda's of the dark forces that attempt to influence the future of humanity on this planet, Project Avalon was initially conceived (if I have this correctly) as a forum that would talk about the future, what life will be like and how to cope with the inconveniences that some may face on the way there. The work of George Green and the Handbook for a new Paradigm was the principal catalyst and found resonance with many contributors (myself included). The magic ingredient was the spiritually mature approach to survival, rather than the guns and bullets approach. In its early days it went in waves, from hard-core survivalism and manic consumption of all news that often was low vibratory fear based news - however - somewhat based in the facts that there was and will be cycles of economic collapse on a huge scale. Much of which has been witnessed, but reportedly there is more to come. (Dont even remind me of the threads about the presidential campaign!) As previously noted, this was repeatedly tempered by the growing spritually minded presence on the forum. When the forum went subscription, a lot of the nastiness and heckling abated to a significant degree, and this is what it seems to me allowed the rooting of a strong spiritual perspective which found a firm and robust foundation of likeminded thinkers who were less afraid to come forward and post because the standards of manners and courtesy were raised. The subscription had a downside, we lost a lot of good people on the prinicipal that information should be free. They can all come back now - many have. Interestingly when the forum went free again, I did not see what I expected to see - a mass return to the chaos of the earlydays. There were some attempts to drive agenda's and disrupt the forum, but these passed with few long lasting effects. My take on this is that the special energy of the forum, has allowed a harmony to grow even though there is the daily risk that it is shattered. The moderators have worked hard to allow the forum to take its place as unique and special. Long may it continue to be so. A.. Last edited by Anchor; 02-22-2010 at 08:53 PM. |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
Celine, One thing i've learned about forums is that there will always be some degree of fearmongering and disinfo, no matter how good the site and community. It also seems like you're thinking free speach is a bad thing.I agree that some people use it in less than favorable ways, but without free speach, PA couldn't exist, and I love my PA!(bad pun intended)

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
I've been struggling with this for quite some time....The Thuban thread was one of the reasons for my struggle.
I read 16 pages and maybe got a paragraph of info out of it. I gave up. I expect "ELVIS is alive...and controlling the GREYS" thread any day now. There is about 1 or 2 threads that I can actually comment on during a day which is highly disappointing from the caliber of folks we have here. They are here....but don't want to jump into the idiocy and negativity that seems to abound....AND I don't blame them. I almost walked off for a while after the Ben Murphy\Kinsueme2 deal. This is Avalon....and "we" don't treat folks like that.... "We"...that's a funny word...It supposes a collection of like minded folks....wanting to work together. Honoring their differences with respect Maybe there is no "we" Peace Y'all Last edited by Stargazer1965; 02-22-2010 at 09:39 PM. Reason: spelling |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
I personally think that peaceful co-existance is a good policy as we all have free will and we are still able to exercise free speach
Still, I think there is a fair amount of disrespect in the Thuban thread but I personally don't read it anymore, that is my boundary Self respect is a good policy, If I don't like something and the other person does not listen to me I don't talk to them anymore! We have the ability to choose, if no one reads the Thuban thread it will die by itself like many others. When we are self regulating and choose to honour ourselves we can get along with everyone by encouraging (visiting) the postings we like and ignoring the ones we don't. It is called voting with your post! Love |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
one of my fav poems sums up for me how to 'deal' with the less positive side of life (both on and off forum)
Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. just my little contribution to this thread, love m x

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
I find this forum to much like a great city; full, robust, bustling with intent, noisy, sometimes crazy but always interesting.
Like any great city there is a soft underbelly... the seedy areas of town that many frequent and many avoid but is what makes it a great city. Celine I love to read your post because of your honesty and your passion. I love Abrax for his stimulation and many, many others for their joy, inspiration or compassion. It's almost as if Avalon in some ways reflects humanity with all the refined beauty and ugly warts tightly twisted together into a bouncing ball of knots, never sure where it is going or where it will land. Peace |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
You know what? 3 times I've started to reply to this thread. Each time and now it's just another me me me post. Each time I had to stop myself because I had more disparaging things to say than good.
Is it that I'm dumbfounded by some of the dross here? Is it because I'm dumbfounded by people consistently replying to the dross in their oh so nice way? Is it because I'm dumbfounded by the gullibility, paranoia and down right ignorance? "There's nought queer as folk" as the saying goes. That'll explain some of the stuff here but I have to accept I might be just as insane as everyone else. Either that or just a grump old so an so. What ever it is, I've been quite captivated of late and there are nuggets of info to consider. I'm also pleased that most threads are quite civil on the whole.... although I feel like reaching into me monitor at times |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
I think that it is a valid point that there can be a few threads whose content seems to consume a certain amount of time that could be better spent on other things. However, I oppose censorship, and I think that the mods here do an admirable job of stepping in when absolutely neccesary.
Given the chance of erroneous/false/ distracting threads being placed onto a forum such as this... one whose unstated aim is to challenge consensus illusion (and I would imagine that chance is somewhat high), I think that it is a good exercise in discernment, picking the wheat from the chaff. I have read MANY great things on this forum, and I have learned LOTS. One thing that I have learned is that if it doesn't resonate, move on. As Stardustaquarion said, if no one reads a thread ( I say "replies to") , it will die out, enevitably. I also think that a lot of the best posters here have a fantastic sense of humour. You can't have levity without light |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
I believe that unity is simply impossible as long as the veil that hides us from ourselves, our past, and our nature - is removed
until then it will seem as a chaos of infinite perspectives vying for recognition or accommodation...some even supremacy |

Here in life we seem to have a very mixed type of people.
Quote:
Quote:
Hopefully PA stands for all the things that are otherwise marginalized, forbidden, hidden and/or prevented in some other way... Yes there were VERY IMPORTANT HAPPENING threads...cant seem to know why should anyone be upset...since no one has to go and read anything...no one is forcing you...but yourself... The ones that do read seem to be interesting in it and need that information...seeing some political etc bull shi** might even help them to realize what it is. Too dumb? How about - I know that I do not know Since most human animals tend to go with - I know that I know People and their self confidence...if anyone asks for advice I am will be happy to provide it (if in my ability to do so) otherwise their self confidence is something they have to work out on their own....censoring will not do that. And than there are the nasty Thuban dragons? Something so different, so uncommon...yet they are just words...and yet...so horrifying? So not like we were told it is...we believe it is? Danger? Quote:
Humans are a threat to human race. Worry about them. Dragons, no dragons, what dragons, dragons, where, who, what, why? There must be other things that can serve you better than thinking about this. Will dragons come and hmm what was the word...dragonomy? As far as I understand it is that we wil bel our own judge and jury.... Who can state what is good for humans and what not? What can be a benefit and what not? - anyone can do.... So all you have to do is make up your mind and live with the result. ------------------- There also is another solution....make rules...enforce them...have it exactly they way you want it.... ---------------------- i was hoping that by this time and on this place/forum....there will be no more such "problems" |

Re: Warning Warning Danger Danger! Thread for open dissagreements..
Hey Celine…bless you for this thread…
Hey Guys don’t take that thread literally…It’s just fiction…simple as… The Author is a very good story teller… The Thuban Council does not exist… don’t take my word for it search yourselves… Anyway… I found this on my travels … Written by a very wise man!!…Much confusion here!! ******* God is simple, God will not overload you with info and God does not tell all things at one time. This falls under the law of "balance" within the parameters of your spirit to intake the knowledge offered. God will not overwhelm you with knowledge at one time. He or she will only give you what you can absorb during the waking hours of one day. If you find the information weighing you down, then by all means, shut down the source of your input, and pray and meditate about your confusion. Confusion is a sign that you are in over your head of your ability to translate the input. The balance of input must be equal to the the ability to understand the input. You biggs are not luke warm as I would see it, but you may think you are if you overload your sensory input by too much information at one time. Solution: Stop reading a while and go within your self and reboot while talking to your higher self and asking your higher self to help you rebalance. ******* Listen guys if it doesn’t sit well….just ignore it!! viking |
