    Let me put this to you, I have Atticus, Germaine and a bloodline behind me.
    Do you think they may know?

    I don't want to be insensitive to you Sid or those behind you but from truths' perspective and birds eye,
    no, it does not mean or prove anything.


    I know lots of folks with good bloodlines who would not agree and say, will never agree with you on that perspective.

    The agenda is succesfully pushing people who have something else to say to corner ,
    there are presumptions superimposed on facts place sir,

    and yourself you have no proof of what these people are saying
    still dwell on that.
    For what's sake ? What they've shown to you ,
    psychic abilities and interesting theories I've seen elsewhere.
    It does not prove that these people are correct .

    You don't know and force everyone to the same category, you even don't suppose that anyone KNOWS, so for what's sake did I come here ?



    I'm sure Bill knows it's a question for him.




    I did say that I don't KNOW, yes?
    Let me put this to you then, if you have something to say, other than questioning, why not put it up like I am trying to do?
    So far, I find some of your posts counterproductive.
    You speak of things, provide nothing and say that I am pushing people into a corner.
    I am confused as to what you are trying to achieve.

    I can only see Sid that the forum has issues and agendas , and follow-ships and saviours of the world ,
    I'm sure there are quite couple of folks here who belong to that category .

    The chief problem as I see it is that we are not able to communicate together, enjoy each others spirituality,
    intelligence and make sense of each other .

    It's either follow him or follow me, I am not here to follow anyone sorry and not asking anyone to follow me.

    I am the bearer of knowledge that is unique and was entrusted to me and I'm sovereign being.
    It does not mean that I do no mistakes or do not appreciate advice,

    but what sense does it all make to you here ?

    Are you all Bill's followers or Charles followers or someone elses followers ?


    Is it what it is about here instead of truth and research ?

    A good point, but please allow me to point something out - we are not all sitting in a circle, facing one another, looking into each other's souls. We're all sitting at keyboards, spread across mutiple timezones and hidden behind anonymous usernames. This is an intrinsically dishonest way of communicating, but it's what we've got and we have to make the most of it.
    Looking through the Avalon forum, one can't help but notice a trend : Fred writes something wonderful - 3 people thank him, Sally says something wonderful - 10 people thank her, Bill writes one sentence - 347 people thank him. Hmmmm, maybe there is some sycophancy going on here, but I think you'll find that anywhere, and it's no reflection on Bill, it's human nature. I hope I speak for the majority when I say we aren't following ANYONE, we're here because we're sick of that particular game thank you. That being said, we as humans do still, occasionally need some sort of leadership. (Do you really want to get on board a plane where the pilot has absolutely no idea where you're going ?)
    I think it's time I went to bed, others among you are no doubt waking up to a bright new day and wondering what's in store on the Avalon forum !
    Enjoy !
    Thanks for that, very true, all of it.
    Sleep well.

    Where do you get this information from ?
    Chi Haotian's allegedly touted where he shouldn't have -- but that's neither here nor there. America forces China's hand a little too much, and China simply reacts accordingly. China is preparing for war though, there is hardly a nation that isn't.

    I can message you a number of sources you might find interesting, if you are so inclined.

    Agape, who are you speaking to? I can't seem to find who here is endlessly touting the world is going to end. All I can seem to find is caution to prepare for a coming event -- of which, there are a number, and none of which appear to be world enders.
    Coming event, interesting, hmm, do you have it confirmed from your own intelligence, faith, secret resources ?

    I can see quite few high level folks parrotting about it , one like another, each new 'whistleblower' confirms something with the previous ones so it all nicely fits, how well done . How many of them do really KNOW the truth
    instead of repeating some crooked hearsay ..

    Sure it's so easy to become 'whistleblower celebrities' and it only proves that they are fine, exposed to public and having chats big way.

    Sure there's 0,01 % probability that something happens any time and you or I do not know the hour,
    at the same time ..I know perfectly there's no such an event on the way in near time, speaking in terms of this century for example ,
    not anything of the sort to be getting people ready for but there are much more important issues to sort out for humanity

    and some of these doomsayers are really faking it all.
    Sure, the majority of 'disclosure' of events hold as much water as the sun. But events come everyday. I don't imagine you are insisting nothing will happen tomorrow, in the next second, etc. An interesting point is that sometimes events occur only because they were predicted, as someone hears something they feel they can exploit and do so -- and in these instances, while the events were predicted, the cause is usually blamed on those innocent to the events.

    In any case, it doesn't hurt to gather what information one deems relevant and prepare where one deems it reasonable to.

    No one knows any truth, I don't even know this, but I feel that at most there can only be search for understanding, as even if a truth is known, or known by chance, we cannot be certain we know it.

    Quid pro quo.

    I do think that enough has been released to show we need to prepare... the pole shift has been progressing, the suns been releasing who knows what which is changing at least the physical structure of matter, an asteroid body is heading towards a close shave with Earth and may have ET's tagging along or is simply being touted as such for a possible false flag.

    China is preparing for war, sending ground troops into Turkey, in addition to it's already stationed air force, testing it's tech, etc. Israel is preparing placate Palestine so it can focus on war with Iran. America is all over the place, even invading Libya, and is in its early stages on Syria.

    Wikileaks releases info saying Taliban will release a nuclear hellstorm is Osama is killed, only a few days before he is touted as such. Fukushima is still releasing who knows how much radiation. Mass animal deaths happening globally without cause. The New Madrid Fault line is being tampered with. The conduit is closing.

    Atticus or no, do we really need more reason to prepare?
    I am not dangling carrots, although it can be seen that way.
    As for the rest of your post, I agree, I would have thought it was common sense, but that is one thing that is not common.
    Oh, I apologise Lord Sidious, I did not mean you.

    It's ok W.C, don't stress, this will all play out, we will figure out what we all mean and then we can get down to the action.
    I agree, but I would very much feel better understood if it wasn't assumed I am stressing.

    Great posts and discussion, in any case. Thank you for sharing so much of your time here.

    The Lion strode through the halls of Hell;
    Across his path grim shadows fell
    Of many a mowing, nameless shape—
    Monsters with dripping jaws agape.
    The darkness shuddered with scream and yell
    When the Lion stalked through the halls of Hell.

    you understand very little indeed and don't say I did not explain myself .



    I don't make many comments and writing long articles tires me . It does not mean I don't want to explain myself , there's lots to read already .

    5-10 years? Hmmmmm, isn't today, 5-11-11, the end of the world? Or if not then 5-21-11? Or 11-11-11? Surely the world will end on 12-21-12!

    If I'm not mistaken, didn't Atticus say that the 18 would have complete disclosure? Rob, please don't misunderstand, I like and appreciate you and your contributions here. It doesn't sound at all as though you have received complete disclosure from Atticus. Correct me if I'm wrong. Like NancyV, I have grown tired of predictions of doom and gloom. Whatever happens, happens. No fear. No regrets. I am not afraid to die, it will happen one day irregardless of the machinations of those who think they are in control. "All the world is a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers".

    Those who think they are in control will find out they are not in control.

    There are far more powerful forces in the universe than those who think they control this paradigm.

    Respectfully, there is no need to prepare beyond what we are internally guided to do. Everything we have ever needed has been provided to us, even before we knew we needed it. It will continue for the rest of our days on this earth. We manifest our own personal realities, if we want disaster, then so shall it be.

    I appreciate the suggestion to keep an open mind, but at the same time you don't really know who exactly is on the other side of the keyboard. Such appears to be the nature of internet forums.

    As for Atticus, Germaine, and all the rest: No, I am positive they don't. You see, there are lots of truths, and one Truth. The closer your personal truth is to being in alignment with the Truth, the more it will just stand on it's own, the less it will change from one timeline to the next. I have alot of confidence in the higher ups in making sure that everyone on this sphere have the maximum opportunity to evolve, and no one entity, or group of entities will prevent that or pervert it to their own ends. If time is limited then it is far better spent loving those around us rather than preparing for (inviting) some vague fortelling of doom.

    No one knows any truth is what your current stream of expanded materialistic dogma that doubts any inherited substance of intelligence in the Universe teaches and preaches .

    It takes small quantum leap I believe to jump beyond the standard views you were taught here and explored

    and arrive not in the mid-air but on the next solid platform of knowing where you can stand and walk without so many doubts.

    a clear outline of your take on atticus would be helpful rob, did he give you more information?[/QU

    IF something huge happens within the next 5-10 years survival is going to be very personal for each family or small group. Living in or near a big city would be extremely dangerous. If you live in the country but there is a large city within 50-100 miles you will be in the path of many people leaving and trying to survive in any way they can. That would mean taking whatever they could take from those who have anything they can use. If you live out in the country it won't be good enough just to have a garden and be able to fish and hunt, you will need a LOT of ammo and weapons to defend yourself and your family.
    The most logical thing for THEM to use would be an airobourne virus and hold back the anitidote. And don't think they don't have a few to pick from NancyV. But nothing will happen
    till the markets crash as every unit of profit will first be sucked out inc asset grabs, water and mineral rights etc..
    When the wider pop are sick it will be difficult for society and industry to continue and get taxed and so on...So, watch the markets and in particular China.

    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.

    I did see you refer to Bill, I thought you were including us both.

    Are you assuming I am a new ager?

    And I do indeed comprehend little of what you have said in this thread, mainly because to me, it is jumbled around and not easily readable.
    Not sure why I would ''blame'' you for anything, but that is ok, too.

    5-10 years? Hmmmmm, isn't today, 5-11-11, the end of the world? Or if not then 5-21-11? Or 11-11-11? Surely the world will end on 12-21-12!

    If I'm not mistaken, didn't Atticus say that the 18 would have complete disclosure? Rob, please don't misunderstand, I like and appreciate you and your contributions here. It doesn't sound at all as though you have received complete disclosure from Atticus. Correct me if I'm wrong. Like NancyV, I have grown tired of predictions of doom and gloom. Whatever happens, happens. No fear. No regrets. I am not afraid to die, it will happen one day irregardless of the machinations of those who think they are in control. "All the world is a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers". Those who think they are in control will find out they are not in control.

    There are far more powerful forces in the universe than those who think they control this paradigm.

    Respectfully, there is no need to prepare beyond what we are internally guided to do. Everything we have ever needed has been provided to us, even before we knew we needed it. It will continue for the rest of our days on this earth. We manifest our own personal realities, if we want disaster, then so shall it be.
    I don't have all the details yet myself, how could I possibly ever disclose that which I do not have?
    And I did post that at least once already.
    There are forces out there that make the nuggets here nothing.
    And we do need to heal the rifts in these forums for people to have closure on issues so that we are all ready to move forward.
    Or those that are interested can, anyways.
    And you don't have to preface your words to me, I know that you aren't a nugget, ok?
    Nugget.

    I appreciate the suggestion to keep an open mind, but at the same time you don't really know who exactly is on the other side of the keyboard. Such appears to be the nature of internet forums.

    As for Atticus, Germaine, and all the rest: No, I am positive they don't. You see, there are lots of truths, and one Truth. The closer your personal truth is to being in alignment with the Truth, the more it will just stand on it's own, the less it will change from one timeline to the next. I have alot of confidence in the higher ups in making sure that everyone on this sphere have the maximum opportunity to evolve, and no one entity, or group of entities will prevent that or pervert it to their own ends. If time is limited then it is far better spent loving those around us rather than preparing for (inviting) some vague fortelling of doom.
    All good points indeed.
    How would you be positive that Atticus and co are x? Did you meet them? Talk with them?
    You have made a judgement with no info, that isn't a good basis to work from.
    I agree with the rest of your post, but I would say that what is vague to you now, will not be later.
    You will get full disclosure of what Atticus knows, as soon as that can happen.

    Hi there LS

    Now that we know you are one of the 18 when do we get to know who the others are and what is your time scale on all of this new info to be given.

    Thank you

    Hello there Manx.
    I don't have the right to reveal the ID of the others, only myself, privacy you see.
    As for a timeline, I am not sure entirely, but I suspect in the next few weeks we will begin.

    Dear Sid,

    you are not a new comer to this forum so you probably know where the gist of where 'I'm coming from' is situated on this board .


    I don't feel fine speaking against the majority of voices who know nothing about me and dare to say, do not care .


    I am perfectly sure the way you are reading me now is 'your way' and it's nothing to do with me. Can you take that much ? Thanks.

    If I am reading you, then yes, that is about me, not you.

    Lord Sid,

    You say "Atticus is honest and does indeed have integrity and is very easy to like". This is what I am wondering about. . . .is it because he is so easy to like that makes his information easier to take on board and to accept it with maybe less discenrment than say if he was an absolutely obnoxious and generally horrible? Would you believe him if he was horrible to you? (I feel wierd to be talking about him in the third tense, no dis-respect intended).

    It probably is easier, yes.
    Why would I accept this with no input of my own?
    Or the rest of the 18?
    We all have our skills and our opinions.

    LS, I woulk kindly invite you to read the posts I have written in this thread again, perhaps a little more carefully. Is seems foolish to suggest that I have made a judgement without information. Really very little judgment was needed for me to arrive at my perspective. Inspiration, perhaps, would be a better word.

    I can't argue with you, I don't know you, nor do I know what you are capable of.
    All I am saying is that I don't know Germaine or the others, there is no way you can, so how can you be positive?
    That was my point and it wasn't meant in a way to denigrate or attack you, rather to push your button to get a reply that may fill in more detail.

    That makes absolute sense......

    Now..... we have a few weeks to get this right for a jump off. What do you suggest we should as a group (s) Forum (s) be doing to prepare?

    First thing?
    Work on Bill, he needs our help to grow.
    If we can help him get past his issue, things will be easier for all of us.
    Secondly? The three forums members need to work together to bring reconciliation to all.
    By that time, you are ready.
