This is a self proclamation in response to the following post I made in this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?36794-David-Wilcock-receives-very-serious-death-threat-after-Fulford-gets-kidnapped&p=383034&viewfull=1#post383034) thread.

Take it for what it is....
My friend, after reading your blog entry and a little about your biography (I'm currently reading more), I've decided something. You remind me of a man named Sumner. He's the main character in the book Radix by A. A. Attanasio. I love that book. By the way he's a great character, so it's a compliment.
I have some questions for you and I think that you might in the position (i.e. have the insight) to answer them. I'll be completely undisguised here, but know this: I do not feel helpless.
At times though, I do feel like I'm just a keyboard warrior. I read the headlines and articles in the mainstream realm of the alternative media community (I have my "go-to's"). I watch videos of the whistle blowers blowing their whistles. I get information here and there, hear conflicting stories, draw some connections and conclusions. I have my core beliefs, yet I'm not sure what to believe.
I share some "beginners" information with some friends and family to get the gears in their heads turning. Is that supposed to be where the buck stops? I want to fight the good fight. I've always believed that there was a lion in all of us—a warrior.
Where do you go from there?
I have no contacts, no insiders, nobody trying to recruit me behind the scenes. Hell, I don't exactly know what I have to offer, or how to offer more. So I feel that I just watch from the sidelines and throw my two cents in when an interesting thread comes along the forum. Building a facility of righteous discernment, spreading the truth, learning to be self-sufficient, humanitarian, etc. etc. are all things I can do on my own, yes. Some patience and diligence would probably serve me well too.
We fight to try to keep the balance between the dark and the light...There are many of us. Our job as I said, is to try and hold the balance between, well … what most people today commonly know as White Hats and Black Hats.
Is it just by the worlds twisted sense of grace that one becomes established in this battle more directly?
Bill, you could probably shed some light on this too.
Please, don't mistake this post as me asking you to take responsibility for my motivations or prioritize my ambitions. This is not a "save-me" plea. Like I said I'm being undisguised and genuine here. Duncan, I can see that you really are a straight talker and your passion sizzled beneath your blog post—I can respect that. I'm asking these questions in earnest, and I hope one of you could shed some light on this dilemma. I'm 24 years old and I live in the suburbs! This don't feel like the front lines! I'm not going to pretend to know what everybody else's position on this is, but I will go out on a limb and say that I am not alone here on this issue.
I can almost sense the answer is some mix of the following...
The best thing you can do for the world is to seek your own enlightenment.
Now stand the hell up. Pull it together, take all this B.S. information that you get from the total B.S. “informants”, and throw it away. Talk to some people who really and truly *are* in the thick of things, that are actually fighting and working right now.
I don't know that I'm necessarily asking for guidance, or direction. Just something definite, you know? What more can I (or anybody) offer to the good fight?
I was being very authentic there and you can feel the undertones of frustration in the post. Also, it was a bit off topic and left me with the bitter taste of self-pity in my mouth. So, I've decided to put together a list of things I can do on a daily basis.
A sword in it's sheath is a treasure beyond compare. Nonetheless I am a Lion—a Warrior. This is a battle for my mind, for my will-power, for my sense of succor regarding my life and the extraordinary potential of humankind and this planet. Anger is an excellent motivator, especially if it's righteous. Personally, I give a damn.
I feel like I can be doing more. I will look at this list daily and pick 2-3 (or however many) declarations to concentrate on for that day. The idea being that eventually I will develop a particular mindfulness about these affirmations and they will become second nature. I am trying to enrich myself, train, and mature my convictions. Here is the list.
Preparing For the Future: The Warrior's Call To Action.
1) Develop fortitude and valor.
2) Learn to be self sufficient.
3) Live within your means/needs by conserving resources.
4) Be grateful and practice compassion.
5) Recycle, do not litter.
6) Exercise your mental faculties.
7) Cultivate righteous discernment.
8) Educate yourself in current affairs.
9) Champion your conviction, protect the truth.
10) Be physically active.
11) Serve/help others for the greater good of the world.
12) Spread awareness.
13) Recognize opportunities for fellowship.
14) Find your balance between rationality and optimism.
15) Seek spirituality.
16) Be proactive.
17) Cultivate integrity.
18) Respect all life on this planet, not just human.
19) Understand the mechanics of fear.
20) Practice forgiveness.
21) Learn from your mistakes.
22) Treasure humor, but know when to be serious.
This is my list, it's somewhat subjective in some points, but I know what I mean. Feel free to use or edit this list to suit your position in life. Or, just make your own! :)
"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm ... As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." -Audrey Hupburn
Very wise words in my opinion.
Much Love to y'all,
Vivek (the LIONHEART!)
