    of course it is.

    would you teach us some algebra please? A few of us, (maybe only one) could use the lesson
    I will show you an algebraic equation I invented to use as a defence to a charge of assault.


    A - B = C
    A is the force I used.
    B is the force the ''victim'' would have used.
    C is the result of this and shows whether the force is reasonable or not.

    The problem is, to solve the equation, you need two values, yet you have only one, that being A.
    Therefore the equation can't be solved, thereby showing that reasonable force is subjective and not provable beyond reasonable doubt.
    This is my own work and my friend who is a Dr of physics says it is good.

    There is your algebra/law lesson of the day.
    Thanks.
    All cheques to my PO Box.

    Greetings members of Avalon,

    You know me as Atticus and I am a member of the 18. It has become necessary to state Lord Sidious, is not a member of the 18. All views and statements expressed by him are his own and do not represent us.

    Thank You.
    Quote Posted by Lord Sidious (here)
    Let me say this, if a member of the team and I was never not a member, rocks the boat to get your attention and you want to throw him out of the boat, it may mean that you weren't paying attention to what they said and there was no option but to rock the boat and get your attention.
    Quote Posted by Belle (here)
    The words in Atticus' post "It has become necessary..." keep resounding in my mind. What made it necessary? Was it something that was said that has made it necessary, or was it the general direction or tone of the thread?

    Whatever the reason, it must have appeared obvious enough to Atticus to make it necessary to post on this thread after being silent for so long.
    Quote Posted by Amer (here)
    Rob to be dismissed in this way does it not say something about the man in whom you put your allegiance and trust?
    Quote Posted by Ilie Pandia (here)
    [...] 2) He screwed up somewhere on the thread and has just been fired in public.

    I do not think that Lord Sidious would lie to the forum, therefore:

    He has been fired in front of our eyes.

    Why?

    I will focus on creating a different timeline for myself and I'm happy to see there are others who will do this. Having fallen into the trap of believing dire warnings of global catastrophe's several times in my life, I am no longer inclined to believe anyone, especially the doomsday prophets. (but my husband and I will still have a lot of guns and ammo just because we LIKE weapons.)
    That is good, but what about those who can't do that? Do we leave them behind?
    I don't feel that is your intent or your reality, I am just putting this thought there for the readernuggets.
    Aha! Shootin irons! I like em too.
    My view on leaving people behind is colored by a near death experience I had (and hundreds of out of body trips). When I died I did NOT want to come back! I was booted out (lovingly) and upon returning to my body after being dead I felt like I was left behind in this tiny prison of a body on battlefield earth.

    I wrote this about being "Left Behind".

    I was left behind
    to experience, to learn
    to endure
    to love
    I suppose it's like bringing up the rear
    instead of being point man
    but it pisses me off
    yeah, you can get stuck when you're following
    the mud is particularly sticky down here
    it has a holding quality that you don't see
    until you are so far within its grasp
    you can't remember when you skipped along easily
    nothing holding you fast
    nothing restricting your movements
    nothing causing you pain
    I forgot to tell you (since my memory is so hazy now)
    that there's a reason for all this
    I just can't remember what it is.....

    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    So... we are all left behind at one point or another for some amount of what seems to us like "time". But there is no time, nothing dies, we are here experiencing something for some reason. I just can't exactly remember why!

    It isn't like that, it isn't about keeping info back.
    Imagine this scene, you are just starting algebra and I come to you and start teaching you advanced calculus.
    You fail.
    Who REALLY failed?
    I did, because I should know better. This example is a good one to show you. When someone does that, it leads to frustration in the student AND the ''teacher'' when the message is lost.
    In regards to teaching others what someone else thinks they should know...

    The blanketing theme for Truth is this: it is infinite and dynamic.

    Therefore it cannot be taught wholly by compartmentalizing one aspect of it's grandeur (esoteric or otherwise) for distribution.

    The wise man senses the Truth and moves towards it; he never looks back.

    When I see the fruits another picks on their path to truth, my mouth will naturally water. If the mother forces the child to eat the vegetables, the child will develop a distaste for those vegetables albeit the vegetables are healthy.


    “When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.” -Sri Ramakrishna


    As adults, we know what food is good and nutritious for us.

    There should not be any self-proclaimed authoritative complex in a friendship. The relationships we have with our friends should be one of support. We are still learning how to walk in a spiritual sense. Nobody can command me to walk and expect me to do it. It is a developmental process that I must learn by myself. It is helpful to watch others walk; that makes me think, "Okay, so that's how it's done, now let me try." I will stumble, I will fall and scrape my knee, but eventually I will get it; nobody can learn it for me.

    The best help one can give to another is to lead by example. Not by attempting to impose on the free will of another.

    I understand you only have Bill's best interest (and ours) at heart, because the Divine flame resides there.

    For that I see you, and I thank you friend.

    Much Love and Thanks to this community and all of it's beautiful members,

    Vivek

    we where not created to be controlled and mindwiped as it has been
    we were created to live ,love and learn.
    but somewhere along the line we lost it or it was taken from us.

    connection to the spiritself has been lost.
    so what is the control really about?
    the pyshical,the spirit.the you.

    imo it is a mixture of both.whatever,whoever wants to enslave us and make us forget ,what we are ,where we come from.

    it can be seen that they are failing.
    just by being on this forum.

    now the question is who,why,what do they actualy want.

    if its the body..take it ...it,s just a vessel.

    if it,s the soul,spirit...have a go.
    it,s mine .
    i am me.
    but thank you for taking a interest.
    but my soul belongs with source/god..as does yours whereever you are from.
    if it,s true that there maybe mass extinction and you are aware of it,and you choose not to reveal this.
    then consider.
    that a great many of humanity who leave may be advancing towards source/god .
    as every being in the cosmos will do.
    and for those that know and choose not reveal their little secrets will be left behind.
    oh you will get there eventually,just a few steps back.

    Lord Sid, may I ask what it was you were after from Bill (aside from an apology, let's not drag all that up again). Was it alliegence, or to perhaps test his resolve to having his mind manipulated (not with you as the manipulator I might add, merely the tester)?
    I wanted bill to do some self analysis and be honest with himself.
    Not with me.
    Not with you.
    With himself.
    The apology was merely the key to the door he has to open.
    Thanks for answering buddy (and the continued dialogue, it is appreciated).

    I would love your explanation of the following:

    Is he Bill? Or is Bill's doing this the provocateur to Charles' door being opened?

    Was your facilitating of this discourse (in this thread too) entirely your motive with no contributory influence from Charles when you were in the 18?

    Please answer these honestly as your self without being cryptic, for I am publicly addressing you. Your usual drive to empower others to find out for themselves is admirable, but in this case please answer this in the concise and honest manner you answered my first one quoted. Much love and respect to you friend, and well done! Not for physical actions, but for the un-movable that is you.

    In all ages, in all lands, there have been those who seek truth. This seeking is an individual's search for something more than self, and much more than the confines of this worldly system. It is the seeker, who understands there is more than what meets the eye, who is not afraid and makes the choice to go into the unknown. The process of awaking has begun, the discovery is underway.

    Great thread so far, but its getting late so have to continue reading later on.

    To answer:
    Q: Why did camelot split into two?
    Q: Why did avalon split into two?
    A: Because we are divided. Programmed to be like that. We look for differences, and create conflict. Not seeing we should be one. This One ness is not here or anywhere. Looks like TPTB are still in control, we react exactly as the dividers want.

    Q: How far are we going to let all this go?
    A: We need to unite. It will be either their world order, or Our World Order. So it is do or die time. No time to wait.

    Q: How do we fix these issues if we don't know what the cause is?
    A: We are programmed for war, conflict. We have a false artificial ego, we believe in our own truths, instead of investigating THE truth. We are on this forum to spread truths and let our different lights shine on it.

    Break the programming, accept the Love.

    Peace, Love, Unity, Respect.

    Well Lord Sid,

    Sterling effort anyway. You are very loyal, I know its because you trust them.

    While we are waiting, what does Ni siochain go saoirse mean at all?

    It means ''No peace without freedom'' and it was an IRA saying.
    Not the nuggets you are thinking of, the real one from the early part of the 20th century.

    would you teach us some algebra please? A few of us, (maybe only one) could use the lesson
    I will show you an algebraic equation I invented to use as a defence to a charge of assault.


    A - B = C
    A is the force I used.
    B is the force the ''victim'' would have used.
    C is the result of this and shows whether the force is reasonable or not.

    The problem is, to solve the equation, you need two values, yet you have only one, that being A.
    Therefore the equation can't be solved, thereby showing that reasonable force is subjective and not provable beyond reasonable doubt.
    This is my own work and my friend who is a Dr of physics says it is good.

    There is your algebra/law lesson of the day.
    Thanks.
    All cheques to my PO Box.


    Suppose:
    a + b = c

    This can also be written as:
    4a - 3a + 4b - 3b = 4c - 3c

    After reorganizing:
    4a + 4b - 4c = 3a + 3b - 3c

    Take the constants out of the brackets:
    4 * (a+b-c) = 3 * (a+b-c)

    Remove the same term left and right:
    4 = 3

    makes you think when your right you could be wrong

    Regards

    Ace

    Let's see now:
    My mind is Anglo
    My body is Saxon,
    My skin is whitish
    My religion is Protestant

    Do I sting?
    only if I want to



    Does your race define you? Not to me, although I must admit to being charmed by your accent
