It is quite different now than how it started.
You might wonder why am I saying all this.
Well its just so that you know where im coming from.
I do not want to get personal with anyone, or fan the flames, but I have to say this.
This thread is an amazing study on how things never change.
As far as I know, this website was supposed to be avantgarde and trailblazing, showing the way to a new kind of action, new kind of thinking and how we should act in a new society.
Sadly, its mostly ego based and "he said, she said" mentality.
Don't get me wrong, there are alot of great people here doing some great work, but when we strip away the articles,and info, we are left with people arguing based on the principle of opinion and free speech,"democracy".
All this is still inside the ego box. imagine all of us in a small community, faced with lets say a tsunami or great flood 3 hours away.....
Would the opinions change?....deep down, I think not. The percentage of survivors would be based on individual action for ones self.
Again, don,t get me wrong....this is how society is. This is how we learned to survive.......
I have been waiting here to see if it can be different and sofar, I think not.
Before anyone asks me why I don't contribute instead of bitching,....I still come here for the great info, but I can't stand loosing energy areguing with some of you. I did contribute in the last Avalon Epoch, I guess you could read that and see how I am.
Sometimes, we are too close to the trees and cannot perceive the forest.
Sorry if this is not clear, english in my second language.

I think the real problem is our mental conditioning. I agree with all of this and I don't think it is in our nature to act this way. I predict that even if we did get a chance to change things, the problem is that the seeds for the way to act and what is appropriate has already been planted in our minds. In other words, it would only be a matter of time before we collectively manifested the status quo that is this world again. And if we couldn't do it, then we would train our children well enough so that they could do it.
One positive thing I see with the economic meltdown is that it is a paradigm changer and because of it, people of all walks of life are going to be re-thinking all of their beliefs and axioms in life because they are no longer working. As their old beliefs are destroyed with the old systems, there will be an opportunity for them to adopt something new. The question is whether they will just look for another box in which to store their consciousness or if they will go down the longer route of expanding it.
