A global 'flash mob experience' to send a clear message to humanity
Hi everyone,
This is my first topic, so please be gentle with me.
I'm quite an emotional writer, there's a lot of feeling to my words, so I feel very vulnerable writing this.
I came to Avalon, not being sure what to find here, not being sure what my purpose is here. I stumbled upon the Charles interview on YouTube and was curious about this Project Avalon. In three months time I watched every available video interview and I read many threads on this forum.
Avalon made me feel 'awake' even more. I've felt a strange kind of feeling all my life and I can feel now that it is time to act on it. If it is not today, then it is tomorrow, but I'm sure, it won't be long before something is going to happen and I feel the urge to express myself that way.
What is happening at this forum for the last few weeks inspired me somehow to post this thread, but I don't know if this will even work. I'm just thinking out loud now.
I'm tired of talking about change. I'm tired of finding the right words to write.
Don't get me wrong: I love writing, I love putting thoughts into words, but... I strongly feel that I need to take a step further now. I want to go beyond words and DO something.
On my own I have done quite a lot of spiritual work and the connection I feel with my inner self is stronger than ever. I recently have REALLY felt what is connecting us all. It's something I can't put into words, because words would only narrow what I am really feeling. I'm sure some/many of you know what I'm talking about. It's like 'being in love' unto a level so high you could burst out of your body. I even believe this 'feeling' is bigger than me, bigger than all of us. And I believe it's the key, the solution to all our 'problems'.
So, let me tell you something about myself...
I am a musician, a singer. Singing has always been a passion, since I was little. But I collided with society soon enough: I tried to study music, but the only thing I've learned was that 'they' wanted me to be a kind of musician/singer I'm not.
I struggled for many years, I was emotionally and physically drained because it was a constant fight between trying to live to one's expectations and not denying my own true self. In the end, I had to quit my education and I was left alone with nothing but the confrontation with myself: what was I going to do? I didn't have a clue.
I felt lost, betrayed, etc... I felt like an alien on earth.
Still, the 'music' within me felt so strong. I couldn't ignore it.
After a few years of feeling depressed I had to do something. I thought I was going to die if nothing would happen. So I collected all my courage and I started my own teaching practice for singers. Luckely, my husband could support me financially, otherwise this wouldn't have worked at all (due to the high taxes and very rigorous rules of the Belgian law, thank you very much... NOT!).
I started my teaching practice with very little experience. I didn't felt confident at all. It was again quite a struggle to get to the point I am now. But I'm very proud of myself, because I always stayed true to myself. I sometimes think that is a miracle, and THE affirmation of my own inner strength, my strong intuition. 'Music' kept me going even though I wasn't the one singing, but my clients were.
Now I have a successful professional teaching practice (not successful in that way, that I'm rich and famous, god no, but that I feel content, vivid and happy. I feel that I have the most beautiful job in the world and I would not want to trade it for anything else. And... I would be happy to do this for the rest of my life!). But still, I feel that there is more. I feel the 'music' within me is even growing stronger and the need to express this is growing bigger.
Okay... now I'm going to try to express an idea I have, forthcoming from that 'need' I feel.
Recently I saw a cute YouTube video about a secret Flash Mob that was launched in May 2010 in the Brussels Central Station:

This was for 11.11.11, a non-profit organisation who fights for a fairer world without poverty.
It still moves me to tears. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the organisation of this event, thus I could not participate.
I feel like this could be a great way to send a clear message to people (especially with YouTube publicity afterwards) all over the world. It surely would give expression to that 'feeling' I have inside of me (and everyone can feel this. For many people it is burried deep inside under many layers of surpressed emotions, bitterness and anger, but it is not unfindable).
I'm playing with the idea of organizing A WORLDWIDE 'secret' FLASH MOB (something in my head says: are you insane?).
It would be an event too big for me to handle on my own off course, so I need your opinions, ideas, thoughts, suggestions, cooperation, etc...
This Flash Mob should have:
- a very clear 'awakening' message, expressing a strong inner feeling that connects us all
- on a already excisting song (with new lyrics perhaps) or a brand new song (written by someone or a group of creative people)
- launched at different locations worldwide at the exact same time (train stations, airports, shopping malls, city/town squares, etc...)
- in a secret cooperation of volunteers (organizers and participants) representing their own Flash Mob location (secret rehearsals will also be needed)
It would be the ultimate affirmation that humanity indeed can be unified, that we are all capable of working together and make a stand against our "suppressors" in a non-violent way. It could be so inspiring.
I thought, why not throw this at Project Avalon forum, hihi... Maybe it would be a great and positive distraction from everything that has happened the last few weeks in order to change some nasty habits that are going on here.
Yep, it's out now. I've said it.
No you can all shoot me, please...
