Hello, Everyone: :flower:
Something important to say here, if I may. Maybe several things.
First, I watched this video. Gosia released it on 31 January, but it's not been posted on the forum. (If it had been, I think it might have been soundly dismantled by now.) But it deserves an intelligent critique.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd0sDMyCGa8
I used to know the maverick physicist Dr Jack Sarfatti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Sarfatti), who had a great sense of humor, a fierce intellect, and Italian blood. He'd enjoy jousting with his colleagues, and the audience would greatly enjoy the interactions. His favorite put-down was to say: "That's not even wrong." :)
But here, in response to this video, Sarfatti might lose his ever-present wry smile and wit. His response to the sheer silliness featured here might be unprintable.
Now, if you go to Gosia's channel, and check the Community (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2MMhSGDuf9kKXPvXfgOr9w/community) tab, you'll see some comments about Avalon. Among them is that this is a "dark place" and that I "work for the CIA". <sigh!!>
(Side note: one commenter, Temijin (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMWM2Qx7jehehufFeNIKowQ), shared that their application to join Avalon had been "rejected". It might have been, but because they didn't apply under that username, I was unable to check. There are actually three categories of response to an application: approval, rejection (always polite), or to please re-apply because there wasn't enough information there. Any application not in English is automatically in the last category, where we ask the applicant to please re-send their application in English. Anyone who's ever disappointed by our response is more than welcome to write to ask why they weren't approved, and I will always reply personally.)
:focus:
So what follows is for those reading this who feel this is an 'attack'. Not so. I know Gosia (Avalon member Malgorzata (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/member.php?28116-Malgorzata)), and she's a beautiful, heart-centered soul who always means the best. :heart: That I definitely know. So there's absolutely no 'attack' on her here.
But Gosia, you're being fooled.
"Taken for a ride", as they say in English. Now I'm certain. Whoever's sending you these messages
Is human.
Has a great imagination.
Knows little or no real science.
Avalon's tagline is "where science and spirituality meet". In this coronavirus video, there's no spirituality, and definitely not a tiny smidgeon of science.
Aside from the recommendation that we shouldn't get vaccinated unless there's something like smallpox on the loose (and every Avalon member would 100% agree, including myself), there's not a single accurate statement in the video about the virus. Not even close.
It's poor fiction, at the level of an imaginative teenager but who doesn't know a thing about virology. For anyone who genuinely wants to learn more — and it's not a hanging offense not to know much about virology or epidemiology — make a big pot of tea or coffee and work through this Avalon thread. There's a LOT of accurate information there, compiled from many good sources.
The Wuhan Coronavirus (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?109753-The-Wuhan-Coronavirus)
Finally, two points.
1) In response to some posts that rightly point out that this isn't "channeled" information, that seems to be correct. But it's definitely "controversial", and that's being kind.
Not because there's disagreement about it. Because we now know some of it is 100% definitely false, and (arguably) irresponsibly misleading. That then throws the entire whole claim into doubt — and that's being kind, too.
At least Corey Goode hasn't said the novel coronavirus doesn't really exist. Even he and David Wilcock know better than that! When it comes to measuring this information against those discredited standards, we know there's a problem here.
2) If such a thing ever happened to me (Gosia wrote that she was "pinching herself" that "this had happened to her"), I'd immediately form a close team of smart people to take their own independent look at what appeared to be happening.
At least if information was coming at me over the internet from some strange source, I'd want someone to help me establish the IP address. :)
And then I'd ask the Taygetans some of my own questions that don't come from a live chat. As in a fun 2010 Doctor Who episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat%27s_Last_Theorem_in_fiction), I'd ask them if they could please send over a neat, one-page proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Or the Goldbach Conjecture. Or the Riemann Hypothesis. Or please share one or two photos of their home planet, or some of the animals that live there, or the inside of their ship.
Gosia, please ask them that, and then see how whoever's sending all this stuff to you responds. Pay attention to the excuses they'll give that they can't do that. (And they will.)
Now, if anyone's read all my post here (thank you! :sun: ) but NOT watched the video, please do that... it's only 15 mins long, and it's well worth your time.
To Gosia: you're a very lovely person :flower:, but please pay attention here. You're leading a lot of people right down the garden path... again, as they say in English.
:)
