So I feel very lonely and it looks like we need a cosmic intervention. But then they tell me we are the ones we have been waiting for and the Extraterrestrials won’t come to save us. We have to do it on our own. And I don’t have to feel lonely, because we are all one they say. That’s just an illusion.
Well, I do feel lonely.

Hi Black Panther, I feel your pain brother. The further I get down "This Old Road", the more I realize it's a journey that must be made alone, with only one's self for company. Sure, there are others along the way, but they are only reminders, pointing you further along your road, just like I am right now. And thusly, by you compelling me to write this, you are pointing me further down my road.

The pressure is really on now, and we're being severely tested to see what we're made of, if we have done our homework, and have properly prepared. I've long since made the decision that if it comes right down to it in this life, I WILL complete it alone if need be. Do watch this video by Kris Krostefferson, it's a great song along these lines, and a picture paints a thousand words.

Cheers,
Fred

God did send help, we killed him. Changed his name, corrupted his teaching, and the king of england wrapped it in a nice little binder for whole world to read the authorized VERSION of the so-called translation of the road map to a better way to live in balance with nature, earth and each other. Thanks alot eve, you couldn't just leave that ONE TREE alone..... lesson... women stay away from trees, men never listen to a woman standing near a tree....ha ha ha. anytime we mess with trees it never turns out good . we should make trees completely off limits ..... ignorance was bliss. according to King James trees is how it all started. The Garden of Aden.

Oh Black Panther.... you put a lump in my throat tonight. Thank you.

When I was 14, I cried intermittently for a year. Everyone thought I was going nuts. It wasn't puberty. Puberty arrived two years prior for me. It was a profound grief for what I kept repeating at the time - " everything here is so sad. This life is so sad".

My mother considered psychiatric help, but chose not to expose me to that. She just let me cry and experience the sadness as needed. Then I "outgrew" it. I toughened up. I had no nuclear familial reasons for my state of mind, I was a well-adjusted and successful student in school, I had friends and people who loved me. My needs were met on every level, yet, I cried.

Tonight I am 14 again and am with you in your grief, for it is justified and the most humane response I have read in quite a while. We all need to slough off the dead and tough skins that shroud our grief and experience the grief and the sadness for the suffering of our brothers and the beautiful creatures and life that is this earth.

With Love,

Ari

Dear Black Panther,

You are awake my Brother and feel the shift much greater than those who are not. Things are shifting for sure and change is happening whether those who are on automatic know it or not.

Change is a process and thus we are all in transition. Transition is the hardest part to deal with because the old doesn't work anymore and the new hasn't arrived yet. Because the new hasn't arrived we can only pin our hopes and dreams on what we vision we want it to be but still we have nothing concrete to indicate what the new will be for sure.

Thus when waiting becomes tough we feel the depths and insecurity of not knowing, being hung up with no footing to stabilize our rational mind. Transition is the most difficult part of change and this is the stage where many give up and say the change is not working. They go back to the old ways and what is comfortable versus feeling powerless and in a void.

For those who are awake there is no going back, I've tried many times just to have some sense of comfort. I guess I have finally accepted that not knowing is okay and as many have added just keep putting one foot ahead of the other and keeping yourself centered is the technique to maintain even if it doesn't always feel like it is the right thing to do.

Just know that you are not alone here at Avalon and that we are hanging in with you as we feel hung up!!

Sending loads of loving energy and support your way and please keep posting as I love your contributions.

This comment is a bit 'off topic', Fred, but I thought it is something you should be aware of.

In her book "Trance-Formation of America", Project Monarch Mind Control Slave, Cathy O'Brien names Kris Krostefferson as one of the Project's 'Slave Control Handlers'. Here you can read it for yourself:

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/so...07.htm#CHAPTER 7 - CHARM SCHOOL

If you don't have the patience to read the entire Chapter, scroll-down about twenty seven paragraphs.

I also find it ironic that in the opening scene of the Krostefferson video you offered, the page blows back to an image of some sort of ghoulish monster. Is this part of the message?

I mention this to make the members aware, this just goes further to show how, what often sounds like a reasonable positive proposition, is very often a partial truth shrouded in a much bigger lie....

Dear God!

Dear Black Panther!

You are not alone.

You can contribute to changing the paradigm

Just because something is promised, doesn't mean it will happen with no effort.

Tricksters promise stuff all the time but don't deliver.

All part of the situation we are in.

All part of what we need to help unravel and build anew.

We have to go through whatever it is we are going through.

We will come out the other side, older and wiser.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. There always was, and always will be.


-- update --

I re-read the OP, its bloody good you know. Really really good. One more thought.

I have lifted every rock.

No, my friend, you have not.

Don't look around for more rocks.

Look at what they are around.

Hey Black Panther,

Can you accept that the world was they way it is before you were born, and will be the same way long after you've left it?

There's two ways you can go about changing something you don't like in life:

1. You can change the world; or,
2. You can change yourself.

The second approach is considerably easier!

All the suffering in the world is caused by ignorance, greed and attachment, but there is a way to end suffering.................however you've got to start with yourself brother!

Love,

Bram

Even those who don't make it out of the womb alive change the world .

In other words, I don't think it's an either-or situation. The change is inevitable and ongoing, and flowing in all directions.

Your words find echo in my soul, BP. Through them, I know that I am not alone.

Peace by with you

[amandapoet]

Yes, the loneliness is sometimes tangible---though the one thing I can guarantee is that being alone in how you feel and asking those questions to our "Creator" (apply your own terminology, lol) are being shared by many...I being included in that many. When it comes down to IT, we are alone-- but all together in that aloneness if you will.

black panther, all of us here is on a specific journey for learning. life will unfold for each of us our lessons/goals. there is nothing to worry about because happenings and lessons will come to fruition at the proper time. worrying is a waste of good energy on things that one has no control of. each learns when it is meant for them to learn something and the teacher will appear. it is important to remember that each individuals journey is their goal. be well and in peace my friend. namaste peace and love universally

For such a close community that is Avalon, I get the feeling that we all have alone moments. I think now it should the 1% that are ultimate evil, the 98% that are the sheeple and the 1% that are awakening. That is hardest part cause we know more and that hurts.

[gooty64]

WHAT?
And five thankers
I don't get it.
Just what is the relevance to the OP?

You have my skype contact. I have left you a message making myself available for you. It is what I have to offer. Do what you will with it.

those alone moments are you remembering you are creation, you are the source. if love comes , it comes from you, the sadness of the rest of the world hits you and you feel for them, send them some love you are their only hope. Oneness can be overwhelming.

[Carmody]

When all straws have been grasped, in all ways, in all idealizations of reality..when exhaustion overtakes one, in the last... and the waters of life fills the lungs, then it finally comes to you.

For most, it really is that difficult.

The stronger they are, the harder they fall.

[Rocky_Shorz]

would everyone feel bad if they knew God judged our planet and decided it doesn't need to be destroyed?

the 1% is just imaginary, nothing in their world is real, they don't know what is important, or the harm they are causing to those around them...

they don't know the happiness of a child's laughter, they don't understand the warmth of a loving hug

everything in their world is taken, the thought of giving is beyond their reality...

we sit back and smile, knowing we are filled with the riches that matter

their pile of paper can be washed away with a breeze, or water flowing into a vault. to them a disaster, to us, humorous

we are the gifted, knowing and changing their plans before they put them in motion...

they are hamsters on a wheel, our wheel...

we decide if they deserve to be fed, we can create a world ending disaster to watch them run into a cave for shelter, and closing the door...

We cement it shut, and make the illusion disappear...

life is good, and I'm glad you've joined us...

I am sad, I am angry, I am desperate, I am mad, I am exhausted. But they say they are just thoughts, the ‘real’ you is behind the thoughts. Listen to Eckhart Tolle. It’s all an illusion. O, ok. It’s all an illusion. It’s all nonsense. So if I care about the Palestine children or children from friends getting vaccinated it’s just an illusion ? And if i care about psychopaths destroying the world with Nukes it’s an just nonsense ?

I have been looking for answers, but there are no places left anymore. I have lifted every rock.

Dear God, can YOU please help me?

Dear Black Panther,
I think you have written some of your answers. You write eloquently of CARING, of not falling for the so called new age trap of chilling out and not giving a ****. Caring is the answer. The method of caring, that is trickier. That is an ART FORM. That takes social skills and knowing ones own strengths and limits. Please keep contributing here, as your passion is very important for us. Many are intellectually awake but need their heart to be galvanized to caring in action. Hugs and Thanks

Hello BP

Thanks for your OP: you've received some great replies, and I hope they've helped you perhaps see a bigger picture

It’s all an illusion. O, ok. It’s all an illusion. It’s all nonsense. So if I care about the Palestine children or children from friends getting vaccinated it’s just an illusion ? And if i care about psychopaths destroying the world with Nukes it’s an just nonsense ?

I feel that there could be a subtle but really important misunderstanding here.

Reality is NOT an illusion!
It is real...but it is not true.
(to think otherwise is to slip into the darkness of nihilism, which can be very depressing.)

It is said that our version of what we think of as reality that is the illusion.  

Very clearly, the external world exists in the real sense of the word. When we interact with it, we project ideas, values, assumptions and expectations on to it: what we perceive is often more a product of our minds than the qualities of the object itself.

We see everything through the filter of our desires, memories, prejudices; the enlightened person ‘sees things as they really are’ .

In other words, what our minds construct as being real and true is merely an interpretation of what we see. It has no inherent reality.  
There is a simple metaphor for this; mistaking the reflection of the moon in water (an insubstantial, illusory image) as being the moon itself. The moon was always there, but we missed it because we were transfixed by its reflection.

In this way, everything that we see arises as a thought or reflection in our minds - what we think of as reality is really an illusion, and not true reality.

Reality matters. Taking care of reality matters. Understanding this properly matters!

Hey mate,

You know when you're on the plane, and they are doing the safety demonstration. They say, when the oxygen mask drops down, see to yourself before helping others?

That's because if you fumble around trying to help other ppl put the mask on first, you'll probably both asphyxiate and die.

Same principle here. What's the point of suffering over other people's suffering, if you're not in a position to do anything about it? First, you got to make yourself strong enough, then you will be able to see a way forward and do something positive.

Hope that clarifies the relevance of what I posted to Black Panther's grief about the state of the world.
