[sparkymark]

I have been studying the Handbook for a New Paradigm. Is there anyone in KC interested in starting a group??

[tomorrow]

Hey sparkymark!

[sparkymark]

Hi, tomorrow!
I'm happy to find another who is looking at this information. I've been studying the 'control grid' for a number of years. It started out with disbelief, but once the veil is lifted, if you keep observing, it becomes impossible to ignore what is happening in the world around us. Once your viewpoint begins to change, you start looking for reasons to explain why things are the way they are.
I have read volumes of information, from metaphysics, to religion, to you name it. Usually I have always been left with a nagging intuition that the words contained some truth, but something was missing. After reading just a few pages in the Handbook, I was shocked. Things just clicked.
Maybe I am off my rocker, but there is something to this. I have never in my life posted to a forum. Too much chatter. There is something to this information, and I think those of us who are listening need to get off our butts, gather together, and see where this leads.
What do you think?

I am currently in Oklahoma, but Missouri will always be my home. Anyone else out there from either of these regions?

Be good:cheers:

[jonathan Burke]

Let's get together!

I live near Cameron but I'm in KC all the time.

I have a large office, a former large classroom with blackboards and Ballroom with full kitchen at my disposal for events if we need them.

I am very well versed on what's going on and very gung ho!

I posted in the SE Kansas Thread too so let's get the ball rolling and get together!

When do you want to get a meet up together? Should we set up something at www.meetups.com???


Jonathan

[strayslack]

I'm just moved to northeast MO from KC, but I'm there quite often too. I'd be willing to try to get together.

[jonathan Burke]

Let's see how many we get in the next day or two and try to align our schedules to meet.

jonathan

[sparkymark]

Jonathon,
Is your meeting room in Turney or closer to KC?
I've got a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around just about any time. Any interest to finding a common spot this coming Sunday evening?
By the way, I had a guy that worked for me for years that is from Turney. His mother still lives there.
I look forward to meeting everyone!
sparkymark

[jonathan Burke]

My office is in Cameron.

We can meet in KC somewhere, the more the merrier.

Let me know if you have any preference on a place to meet.

I live about an hour outside St. Louis looking for others nearby.

[evank001]

im in lake saint louis, abou 45min west of the city, i dont plan on getting any closer to downtown either,

[Blufire77]

Hi fellow heartlanders.

I live just south of KC in Louisburg and have a very flexible schedule. I am very interested in meeting everyone and begin the next chapter of this fascinating time we are all sharing.

Tammy

[historycircus]

I'm from about an hour south of STL, but now live outside OKC. Good to hear from you both.

[evank001]

i am getting somewhat prepared, my home battery backup just got finished this weekend, using about 22 batteries and 8000watt power inverters, i am good to run about half my house as i normally would for around 32 hours, also have a manual power generation to charge them along with solar trickle charger to charge during the day, should be good for several months of power till the batteries take a crap, so i have the power part figured out now, just in case that goes down, the only other thing is now, if something does actually happen what about food and water purification??
i just figured i would get the power part done first..

[Carrie Todd]

I would be interested in meeting new people with a common interest. My schedule isn't TERRIBLY flexible, but I do have three day weekends that are pretty open.

[Carrie Todd]

But I'm willing to work with other people's schedules, for a good cause.

[Blufire77]

Hi Carrie and all in this thread,

You may want to check out the "South Central Kansas" thread. We are in the process of forming a plan to meet.

[strayslack]

Hold up.
Both Jonathan Burke and Carrie Todd list their locations as Turney. What gives? You know each other?

[jonathan Burke]

we are a family unit:original:

[strayslack]

Oh excellent. How great that must be to be in agreement on this subject matter. My wife is coming around.

[xenomorph]

Quincy, IL here. As far as I am concerned, it is as much the St. Louis area as it is anything other than an island unto itself. I moved here in February temporarily while I complete some educational training. St. Louis is where I go for "civilization" when I just have to have it. In fact, I am going to be in O'Fallon, MO next week!

Peace.

[ja_v02]

I am interested , I am kansas city, too

Hi from Ponca City, OK. I have folks in the Springfield/Lebanon area in MO, used to live there myself. It was the best year of my childhood. Where are you?

I'm in the Tulsa area; south Broken Arrow to be more precise.

Hi from Ponca City-it seems we are pretty spread thin in this area, 2 in Wichita, one by Broken Arrow and I think one down by OKC. Where are you?

I can't make it this weekend but maybe next time. 75th Street Brewery is a good location for me.

[Blufire77]

Jonathan

It was great chatting with you!

I hope we get the five or so people that will make the meeting worth while tomorrow (Sunday) night.

Thank you for stepping up to the plate and taking the bull by the horns . . . I'm here to support you in any way I can. :thumb_yello:

75th Street Brewery!!! Superb idea :drink_nl:

[Blufire77]

It is obvious by the number of views that there are a lot of people here in the Kansas City/Midwest area that are at least interested in forming communities.

We Midwesterners seem to be stuck in the beginning of the first steps. Could it be some of that Missouri type stubbornness and “The Show Me “attitude?? Perhaps we are just a little less farther along in the “acknowledging and accepting “phase of what truly is happening. Perhaps some are “put off” by some of the threads or think some of the people here on PA are just a little too strange? Maybe you don’t think you have anything to bring to the table as far as skills or attributes.

We have to meet each other halfway. Trust and faith in each other are huge steps in forming successful communities or at least a good place to begin. We will need people of all types, ages, skills . . . . the more diversity we have the more successful we can be. Because our foundation will be formed on hope, love, compassion, vision, excitement, adventure, strength, and positive, exceptional transformation. These are just a few I can think of . . . . add some more!! :gathering:

Let’s start a dialogue of your concerns about getting together. You can do this anomalously here on this site. I am reaching out a hand to you and I don’t bite! :flowers2: :welcomeani:

[jonathan Burke]

Due to the lack of response on a meeting of local and area group members I have decided to reschedule the meeting at the 75th Street Brewery in Kansas City to next Saturday, the 27th of September at 6PM.

Hope to see you there!

Blufire, I absolutely love your last post, as well as, your enthusiasm. You are entirely correct. Diversity is what makes the world interesting. Healthy skepticisim may be a good thing but it's important to do something while there's still time in which to do it. Everyone is busy, but it's a matter of making our future a priority. Hope to see you all soon.

[JohnnyBGoode]

Hi,

Looking for contacts in the St. Louis Metro area. Let's say within two hours of downtown?

I have seen the gracious invites from the Kansas City area but that is simply too far for any type of regular meeting or cooperation during an "event".

Focusing on peace while trying to be prepared,
Johnny

[Argante]

Please list all Missouri locations here.

[strayslack]

Please list all Missouri locations here.

What do you mean?

[xenomorph]

What do you mean?

She is the moderator telling us that now all Missouri postings are to take place here.

You mentioned you are in NE Missouri. I am in Quincy, IL.

Peace.

I am not within two hours of downtown St. Louis, but St. Louis is the nearest city to me. That is, unless you consider Quincy, IL as a city itself, but I do not. I recently moved here from Western WA to attend a local trade school. I have made an acquaintance here who I am pretty sure would qualify as a member of the ground crew, but it would be great to meet others nearby.

Truly it is great that the folks in Kansas City are so willing to get together and take the first step. I would be willing to meet with some folks in St. Louis sometime. Hopefully, there will be others near St. Louis willing to do the same very soon.

Peace.

[jonathan Burke]

Hello all!

I want to take a moment to impress upon everyone the necessity of getting together this weekend. I'm sorry if I'm being "serious" here, but there is quite a heavy gravity to the situation right now. Anyone that knows me would tell you I am not a SERIOUS person at all. So please take me seriously here on a little analogy for the moment.

If the economy came to a screeching halt tomorrow before our meeting and everything went hell in a hand basket, where would you be?? No plans, no on group to work with, nothing. You're on your own, right?

Second scenario, you come to the meeting, people meet each other, we codify some core issues, we have phone numbers, addresses, and starting plans galore.

Which situation sounds more confrontable???

There are only two ways you can be wrong in this physical universe of ours.

Over or under estimation of effort.

I would much rather overestimate the amount of effort in our current situation and have people of a like mind to survive with etc. myself. Not to mention the scenarios beyond that which need more data evaluation and estimation still...

How about you?

Please listen to the new George Green audio posted yesterday. If 50% of the things occur, we are in big trouble. Maybe they won't at all, but, at least we can be prepared and ready if for nothing at all.

Please attend this weekends meeting for yours and everyone else's sake. Sorry to be so hard core, but it gets the point across.

Thank you.:original:

Jonathan

[tomorrow]

We'll be there.

[historycircus]

Anyone here from St. Francois County, MO?

[strayslack]

She is the moderator telling us that now all Missouri postings are to take place here.

Peace.

Oh, okay, thanks.

Greetings to you. It's good to hear about someone up my way.

I'll be going to the meeting in KC this Saturday. Interested?

[Carrie Todd]

That's an excellent idea for those who would need to travel to attend the meeting. By all means, especially with the gas prices as they've been, carpool! I will definitely be there as well. I look forward to meeting you.

[sparkymark]

I'll be at the meeting Saturday. Excellent post, Jonathan.

[geesenc]

I am in the St. Louis area and am interested in meeting with others here.

[jonathan Burke]

Ok, folks.

Tomorrow is our initial meeting and I want to confirm how many are going to come, in a new unit of time.

Please post here if you haven't already that you are coming to the meeting.

Thank you in advance,

Jonathan

:original:

[Blufire77]

Jonathan,

I most definitely will be there. My husband is coming also . . . . surprised me quite a bit when he asked me if it would be okay for him to come too. Maybe he is beginning to wake up. :shocked: :original:

I may have a couple other people coming.

So add 2 warm bodies to the count!

peace

[sage4truth]

Hi All, I'm located in a small town between Springfield and Joplin Missouri, I could meet in either city.

[jonathan Burke]

FYI.

The meeting at the 75th Street Brewery will be held upstairs in the Nest.

Here is a description:

The Nest gives you and your guests a birds-eye view of the brewery from our indoor "balcony." It accommodates up to 25 for a sit-down meal or up to 30 for a casual cocktail party. The Nest is the perfect place for a business luncheon or a birthday party.

Here's their web site for more details....

See you tomorrow night..

I look forward to meeting all of you. There will be two in my partayyyy!

[Carrie Todd]

I am definitely looking forward to meeting everyone tonight. We have between two and five others possibly coming with us. Here's to a good group and a productive meeting.

[Carrie Todd]

Many things are considered a conspiracy theory until they come to pass. Many people are conspiracy theorists until they act. Often people are content to sit on the sidelines theorizing and analyzing. It is important to ask oneself, "Do I want to act or react?"

Kudos to those of you who attended our KC meeting. I, personally, considered it a great success (13 attendees, approximately 0.5% of the forum). Next meeting Oct. 11. Location to be announced soon.

[strayslack]

Just wanted to say how fantastic it was to meet all of you who attended the meeting last night. I have a great deal of respect for each and every one of you. Great event all around.

[ja_v02]

Thanks guys for such a great meeting yesterday!! it was awesome finding people of like mind!

[sterlingStar]

Hi All,

I am brand new to this thread and I am so thrilled to know that there are folks out there with the same thoughts...

I am sorry that my husband and I missed the first meeting! We will make it a point to meet you all Oct 11.

We live right across State Line in Kansas and the 75th Street meeting location would work great.

[showmemo]

Hello shome here and in the Saint Louis area so KC is way to far for me but have to say how about a yahoo groups for us to talk and exchange ideas? peace

[jonathan Burke]

We will have a web site for the 4 states and Missouri area this week.

As for the meeting: I hope everyone got what they expected or better from the meeting. I enjoyed meeting everyone thoroughly. We have a better group then I could have ever hoped for!

Thank you for coming! Very well done!


Here is the PGP site and Info we discussed:

http://na.store.pgp.com/desktop_email.html

I will notify everyone when the regional website is up later this week.


Jonathan

[Carrie Todd]

I will be emailing you guys with contact info today. :)

[jonathan Burke]

Our web site is now up and running as of last night. If you would like to be a part of it please attend our next meeting and we will set you up.

We have several threads and more being posted throughout the day.


Hope to see you on October 11th, sooner, if we have ANY more big flaps happen economically.


Jonathan

[showmemo]

Hey I cannot make meetings as I am across the state but would like to be involved on the web site how about it guys?

[jonathan Burke]

Hello!

Our meeting last Saturday went really well, and much was accomplished!

We will be having another pot luck meeting on Saturday the 25th of October. We also have an online meeting once a week also.

Please let me know if you would like to attend.

[Blufire77]

Hello Midwesterners,

Our third “physical” meeting (we have had several on chat) will be this Saturday, October 25 at 4:00.

The meeting will be here on my organic/eco farm just south of Kansas City. We wanted to combine the meeting part with a Autumn get-together . . . . complete with camp fire, smores, animals (lots of baby chicks), fishing, organic hamburgers and laughter. Come meet like minded people that you may want to form a community with. We are on our way in establishing 2 possibly 3 zoned communities now.

We are people from all walks of life, we look like and are your neighbors, co-workers, college students, doctors, financial advisors, electricians, computer programmers, lawyers, teachers, printers, farmers, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives and children. Normal people in a very difficult world who want to build a new abundant life.

Also I wanted to announce that I will be giving homesteading, herbal and gardening classes this coming year here on the farm. Learn how to grow and preserve your own food, chickens, medicine or just how to survive out of the concrete jungle!

Post here if you are interested in coming to the meeting this Saturday or in the classes and we will be in touch.

Is this the same October 25 meeting as mentioned by Blufire77? I am interested in participating in these group discussions, but I do not necessarily have the resources or time to drive all the way across Missouri.

[RebeccaJernigan]

Hi there,
I have found this thread and wanted to say hi to all of you! My name is Rebecca Jernigan and I host a radio show on saturday nights. Although I cannot make the meetings I would like to offer to you some help. I can post the meeting places on my websites or a link to your website there are a lot of possibilities. Please PM here so that we do not use up space for communicating. Blessings to you all!

[ChaosAnomaly]

Hi everyone!
This is my first post. I'll be moving to MO very soon and would like to talk with others that are VERY serious and already preparing for surviving these next few years ahead. I have a very secure property I'll be moving into pretty far from main cities and would like to discuss building magnetic motors to run the place as well as any inventive ideas you may have for generating power, water capture and filtration, medical tools and procedures, food creation and storage, hunting, self defense, etc. I've done quite a bit of research throughout the years, so I've got a lot to contribute and am always learning more every day. I can't disclose my specific location until I've talked with you for quite some time though. I'm sure you understand why. I just want to try and get connected with whomever is in the vicinity so that when the time comes we can combine resources to aid in a better chance of survival.

Very happy that this forum was developed!
Hope everyone had a good Halloween!

[ChaosAnomaly]

Hi again!
When does everyone plan on having another meeting? I won't be in MO for a few more weeks. Hope I get to attend. Is there any kind of initiation to earn each others trust or do you just meet and talk? I'm very happy to find others in the same general area I'll be in that seem to be on the same page. Is anyone dealing with the free energy aspects at all? If so, what are your plans so far?

[jonathan Burke]

The Midwest Self Organizing collective now has a web site at:

www.midwestsoc.info

Please feel free to signup if you are in the midwest.

We have a forum, blog, constantly updated news, videos section, mapping for places to go in case of emergency, and much more.

Hope to see you there.

Jonathan

[ChaosAnomaly]

Just curious if anyone is active in here anymore? We are now in MO and are currently looking for more people to join us and start a community. Hope to hear from someone!

[Kre8ive Lady]

Hi Jonathan,

I have tried several times to go to the site, but I cannot get the link to work. I would really like to be able to get in touch with others of like mind in the Missouri area. If there is another way to access the site, I would appreciate any help you could offer.

Thanks,

HELLO FELLOW SHOWME FOLKS,

Showmemo here wanting to say I moved to Southwest MO area north of Springfield MO. have a wonderful farm after traveling around the U.S. looking at different areas to relocate just could not find the right area or the right feel although many areas where wonderful I did not get the "MAN THIS IS IT" feel.

SO we saw this place right in our own state and BAM! it felt right and was a good fit with what we where looking for.We moved away from the STL area and do not miss it one bit.

I wish to talk to folks near us in the OZARKS (Southwest MO) as we can work together if interested just let me know.
