What is Project Avalon to you?

[Mark]

As we are all different sorts of beings, I figure we all have different reasons for being here. For choosing Project Avalon as our preferring vehicle of expression in what is left of the Alternative Community.

I'm curious to know, why do you keep coming back? Why do you spend time here, sharing your thoughts and feelings, your hurts and your angers, your love and your joys?

I'll start:

I've been on and off PA since 2011, almost a decade now. I've retired a couple of times, but even during those retirements, I would come back here in order to 'catch up' and see what was going on out there in the wider world.

I find Project Avalon to be the most ably led of all of the public AltCom Forums, as consistent in its moderation and leadership as is humanly possible in a time when consistency is difficult to find. I also find that the project continues to attract amazing minds and spirits dedicated to their version of the truth and, beneath all of that, the deeper and more intimate Truth of materiality and incarnation, to express fully the infinite capacities of human nature in service to all aspects of being, represented by individual contribution and continuous co-creation.

I find challenge here in Project Avalon, souls with whom I can contend respectfully and at the deepest levels, and we all need that somewhere in our lives at some time and, perhaps, especially now.

I find the past, present and future of the AltCom here, at Project Avalon. Its roots have come from the real search for truth and it does, indeed, represent a chronicling of the human awakening in this special time and space, where the entire multiverse is concentrated upon a single point of awakening and infinite potentiality, as represented by the great change we are currently undergoing as a global society and planet.

I find hope, here. Despite the things that divide those who come here, there remains a commitment to truth that goes beyond surface level posturing. So much so that a substantial number of folks who've gone on to become luminaries in the AltCom - as both White Hats and Black Hats - have made their way through this portal and out, into the wider world to continue their missions, whatever those might be.

And, lastly, I find respect here. It is everywhere in life, you don't have to go looking for it, but what I mean is I find people who honor the art and science of clear communication, who are committed to it, who do the best they can to represent the highest version of themselves possible and that, my friends, is priceless.

How about you? I'm curious to know, what is Project Avalon to you?

[wondering]

Great post, Mark. I'm thinking about my response, but appreciate very much what you have said. If Avalon were not very special I don't think I would still be here. More later. Diane

[Axman]

I have been here from the start. Searching the rabbit hole I found early on.
I have learned much here from the assembly of humanity that makes Avolon what it is.

I have watched the arguments and brew ha hahs that have happened over the years and just try to add something positive to it.

Also I have learned endless insights.
There are some very loving awesome humans here and on this planet.

That's what keeps me around.

Project Avalon to me is a place to think. It makes me smile, sometimes cry, sometimes it upsets me but most often it makes me think. Sometimes I agree, other times I do not. But always, my opinions are accepted. I have also made some very good friends!

[Nasu]

Nice post Mark

For me it is a way to see an expression of myself in others in one concentrated place. Avalon reminds me that there are many more people like us out there, much more than we see in the day to day world...x... N

I like what you wrote, thanks for start it.

I quoted your last sentence, one word actually answer the question. Respect.

I've been more into IRC and Usenet, but also in many different forums since the 90's, I generally post based on my personal experience, but read and learn much more from others with greater knowledge on many different fields, the thing here on Avalon is that we can find it all in one place, or at least a good reference to keep researching somewhere else, because the space allow it to us, I am sure a question will always have an answer here, even if that answer is not the expected one. I like when people are frank and honest, this attitude keep things clean (that's why I never used any mainstream social media).

Erowid was one forum that I enjoyed for over 10 years because I am fascinated with entheogenic plants, and they have the best alternative content there, until I lost my password and it was attached to an email with a domain that I do not own anymore, then account lost and I didn't created another one, but I still go back there for readings, but I also found many posts here on Avalon regards the subject.

Another forum that I used to visit is permies (permaculture forums), but since they are promoting too much stuffs in there, I walked away, it used to be good, now every post is someone offering their products or services, I guess there is place for everything and marketing mixed with knowledge is the nail in the coffin, imagine Avalon selling health products, PDC, therapies sessions, etc.. in between posts? lol (sorry for the joke) again Avalon cover permaculture as well.

I am here because it is virtually possible to discusses about.. almost anything. If it sounds too weird I am pretty sure the moderators will point it out, some other forums will just ban/kick the user without any explanation (a.k.a. censorship and laziness).

I first learned about project Avalon from the project Camelot, a friend from Taiwan gave me the link in 2010, since then I started watching Bill's Interviews and reading the forums, last years I decided to become a member. :)

I will finish with a quote from the Avalon website

"To encourage and support positive, constructive, and high quality dialog and networking with the goal of creating the future on Planet Earth for ourselves and our children that we want to experience."

[ExomatrixTV]

Thank you for asking Mark/Rahkyt (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/member.php?6754-Mark-Rahkyt) :)

For me Project Avalon Forum is a platform for like-minded spirits some (or many) homesick of where we came from as a Soul before Earth ... at least I feel less "alone" how I see/experience things in life ... especially when so many fall in all kinds of blatant deceptions (24/7 MSM mass conditioning).

Project Avalon is also very very therapeutic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_effect) for me, more than any other physical, emotional, mental or psychological therapies <<< no joke!

Truly appreciate many different (respectful) insights from many other Avalonians (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/memberlist.php) around the world with different backgrounds/expertises.

The quality standard of the partly (controversial) conspiracy research topics and how it is treated is far above average when I compare this forum with other forums with similar topics, in my view, no one comes even close to what Project Avalon has to offer.

Eternal grateful for having people like Bill Ryan (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/member.php?6-Bill-Ryan) :bowing:not giving up (being, amongst others, attacked (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85tlnuxpR40) on so many levels).

I felt immediately "at home" here on day one when I started to become active here since 10 years ago! ... Also am very impressed how Bill manages it all ... Not always easy to "please everybody" and trying to be being 100% authentic and respectful to ones own boundaries at the same time.


Also a big thank you to all active Project Avalon moderators & admins too :thumbsup:

cheers,
John Kuhles aka 'ExomatrixTV'

In this kind of crazy world we are living, only ONE word is fitting:

HOME

[Samson]

To me it's HOPE.
I geuss i would have lost faith along the ride if there wouldnt be this honest open inspiring informative forum in the world ww. A guide a beacon... thanks to our highly respected spokesman Bill Ryan who always asked the right questions, almost never lost his mind or temper, and made this project into us; related as is family.

[bobme]

It is a place where I can talk of all of my understanding of things in my life, and not be judged because of them.

Now days, that is hard to find. Thank you all for that.

you have all been very kind.

[Michi]

For me PA is a unique place where things are really scrutinized in detail. Several times I got more data on something which changed my views. Also I learned about individuals, who also take no sh*t, for example: Catherine Austin Fitts, Joseph P. Farrell and Daniel Liszt - just to name a few.

[Craig]

I have my reasons, and it isn't that I don't want to tell you, I feel that i can't articulate them enough for them to make sense. Like the reason why you have a favourite pair of shorts that be design would no longer be called shorts and you have many other pairs but putting these ones on almost makes the world feel comfortable and allows you to relax.

But life is now making me put my pants in the recycling bin and I am no longer on here as much as I used to, hopefully things will change back eventually

Kudos to Mark/Rahkyt for the OP and may all our pants fit comfortably

[scotslad]

For me, my time on this 3D rock is a journey of problems to solve, challenges to face, reaquaint with old "friends" to gently nudge us and experiences to enjoy. The PA forum is a great place to share one's earthly challenges, experiences and meet new friends to share news, views and gain their perspectives - without judgement, but a polite nudge on occasion can help us think or refocus our thinking, opinion, take or intentions.

What I really like is I can dip in, dip out, and when I return its like I'm welcomed as tho I haven't left. One thing for sure I feel richer for the shared wisdom and perspectives that I seek to read, relate, assimilate and apply. Thank you all :) You rock.

Avalon has helped me keep my sanity through this enormous Shift we are going through.
I underwent a huge crisis of faith after 911, my biggest initiation into Conspiracy Theory, and that's when I started jumping down rabbit holes in earnest.
But I felt very isolated and what a huge relief it was to discover Project Camelot, and then so much more relief when Avalon was created.
Avalon has been my primary window to the world as it really is, and has empowered me to live without the false hope that comes from living in denial.
I gripe at times about how addicted I've become to the forum.
Also how I'd be in such better financial shape if I devoted as much time to a paying job as I spend here! :sad:
But it's a good way to make a voluntary contribution to the cause of Truth.
It's very difficult to live without hope and on Avalon I've found reason to have hope as well as reason to despair. :nod:
( And it's not easy to have hope when our eyes are wide open! )
https://img.cinemablend.com/quill/9/d/2/6/6/e/9d266e781d09f6ff9a49bd44c2b301aafa60a9f1.jpg
...So I feel much gratitude for the other truth-seeking souls I've found here to share the experience with, and to have fun with, too! :sun: :jester: :grouphug:
And gratitude for the great, hard-working MOD team. :muscle:
I've locked horns with Bill a time or two, :mmph: but it's all water under the bridge (hopefully), and I appreciate how his dedication keeps the forum going, and keeps it civil and relevant. :thumbsup:
Thanks to Rahkyt for the eloquent start to this thread, and for thinking of it. :idea:
And what Samson said:

To me it's HOPE.

Cool thread Mark.

I came to Avalon sort of by mistake. I'd lost track of Bill and Kerry for a bit, went to find them again and wound up here. It was right as all the "Charles" stuff was going on. And I thought to myself, cool, Bill's done another video. But I had no idea it was such a big deal at the time. I was totally naive. I didn't even know what a chat forum was. I only signed up because I thought I had to to see the new video. And when I found out what a chat forum was, I had zero intention of ever posting on it. But then I did. One post led to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and the rest as they say is history. That was over 10 years ago

It was all a kind of fortunate mistake. And this forum has been a wonderful tool for me. The most important things I've learned aren't the topics discussed really, although I've greatly enjoyed all that. The forum taught me how to think, how to express those thoughts in a number of ways, how to form arguments, how to write effectively , how to understand people and language, and how to be part of a community. I've always been a lone wolf, so that last one is important. It gave me an education I couldn't have possibly gotten anywhere else. It also gave me something to do when my health was so poor that anything other than typing was off the table. It kept me sane that way. And it gave me something to look forward to during that time when there was literally nothing else. And now, it's a place where I can say virtually anything I please within the bounds of reason, and that has just been invaluable to me. It's allowed me a unique brand of freedom of expression i dont think I could have gotten anywhere else. So Bill, I'm pleased to say publically that I'm indebted to you my friend. Youve done me and many others a wonderful favor by starting this place.

I have read and thanked all of the replies up to this point because they are all true for me as well. I have followed Bill and Kerry since day one and even signed up for the previous incarnation of Avalon. I don't post much and have primarily been read only, it is simply my way. Ultimately, this is a place where we can be seen and heard with respect, intellect and appreciation for our ideas and our humanity.

Thank you Bill, moderators and fellow Avalonians.

What they said :happythumbsup:

[Harmony]

On my journey over the years, mostly reading, Project Avalon has been a place to find inspiration, to contemplate the big questions and quite often a sanctuary.

It brougnt me solace when I felt like I forgot to read the fine print before incarnating here. I am grateful to Bill and all the members who have contributed over the years. Don't underestimate the effect you have had on others across the world.:heart:

[Bluegreen]

I am glad to be with others now when I am experiencing loneliness like I never have before

[leavesoftrees]

PA is a giant encyclopedia where you can find information on almost anything - from in depth and alternative analysis of current affairs - when COVID first broke it was my go-to site to find out what was happening, it suggests an incredible range of complementary treatments and dietary advice for health issues, not to mention ancient and alt history, music, art, photography, nature, animals, how to live off grid

Fortunately most, if not all, the warnings and predictions posted here never eventuate - the 3 gorges dam still seems to be going strong; a global coastal event killing millions of people predicted at the end of 2019 never happened. Rat fish oil tanked along with Pete Peterson, and no one mentions C60 anymore. Moderators mysteriously disappear, new ones pop up brandishing their real names, people retire, or are retired, they go on sabbatical, and return again like a comet blazing across the night sky. Some of us get very sick and some of us die. It's a universe in microcosm happening on our screens across the planet!

[Sunny-side-up]

WOW and thank you Mark/Rahkyt for this OP :sun:

Project Avalon is the place to be, too unravel what the hell is going on in this mad world.
The people and minds here are a breath of fresh air, they are my brothers and sisters.
You are the people I wish I had living next door to me, the people I wish I could just confide in on a daily basis as the norm, face to face.
I won't you as the majority
It is so mad out there in the lame stream, the so called reality, it is so corrupted and far from a loving truthful reality, but Avalon is the mirror.
Love you Avalon, Love you Bill and the Mods, Love all you members.

Alan

One of the last places where I might meet fellow travelers on that infamous road of knowledge.

Actually, I'll take it a little step further, one of the last places not infiltrated or completely catsrated by the money game. I am very happy this community is set up the way it is.

[Antihero]

A gathering of souls.

I'll steal this one, and by the way people! remember to love yourselves.

And I'm gone like the Wind, x0x0.

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

I think I've aired this notion before, that a good number of Avalon members know/knew each other in other existences, previous lives, or have crossed paths before. That's what I suspect. This is like a worldwide communal meeting place for like-minded, and maybe familiar souls, which the internet makes possible. I see Avalon as my extended family. This is the only place I ever felt a sense of belonging. I feel blessed and privileged to be part of it. Thank you Bill now and forever for making this happen.

[Mark]

I love all of these answers, thank you one and all for participating. This is really and truly what it is all about. The dedication to the search for meaning and truth, whatever that means to us all in the context of a world where truth does not seem to want to be found, even by the most ardent of seekers.

So many wonderful responses. What struck me about them so far is the commitment to community and the way PA fulfills a need that cannot be assuaged elsewhere for some of us. Sure, there are other forums and gatherings of souls out there and there are many honorable seekers we come across in our journeys out in the world and here online. This is a wonderful place to come and read and dive off into the void, searching and following links down rabbit holes and into alternate dimensions of knowing. I find that the internet, in general, has become so difficult to search using the major search platforms that the only way to find the real juicy stuff, the things that google doesn't want most people to find, is to come where people who are integrally involved in these matters congregate in order to get the information in as direct a manner as possible, even if it is second, third or fourth-hand.

Being able to access the Avalon Library, the minds and the threads with so much personal experience and conjecture that opens up your own mind and leads you in directions you'd never thought of before, is a major benefit of being present in the project. Just the possibility of having your mind opened to something you'd never thought about before and expanding your possibilities is worth so much.

[Zirconian]

I wish to take this opportunity to thank all PA members for contributing to a rich fabric of shared information, experiences and ideas and that is what PA is to me.

There are so many talented and gifted people here.

We may soon like never before need a community like this, so thank you Bill, mods and contributors for creating this space.:flower:

[pabranno]

I resonate with all the thoughts/feelings expressed by all you wonderful people. Any response I have would be redundant EXCEPT........I have been embarrassingly remiss in contributing to the maintenance of this special (really...SPECIAL) forum. This thread has hammered that home to me.
If I am so grateful, my natural response would be to show it.
Thank you all for sharing through all these years, and forgive me for not putting my money where my mouth is.
I do so today😉
Pamela

[wondering]

I go on PA early morning, last before bedtime (although I try to avoid really scarey stuff then, I save that for daytime reading!) and in between time, depending on the day. I can't even guess what this past year would have been like without the sane information, humor and uplifting posts by everyone here. I asked a woman of my age in the grocery the other day why she had gotten the "vaccine". We had been having a chat about many things and sharing a laugh, a recipe and a walk down memory lane - my best interactions these days are often in stores! lol! She replied that she had gotten the vaccine "just to be safe" 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 It was so clear to me in that moment that the only reason I wasn't thinking the same way was because of PA. It's not that I think I am "right", necessarily, but that I feel my view is based on a lot of reading and watching that most people just don't, or choose not to, have access to, and for which I am enormously grateful. So thank you, Bill, and all you lovely other people who are part of my life in ways you will never know. Your depth of understanding, compassion, knowledge and your ability to communicate all those leave me in awe sometimes. Love and blessings to you all, Diane

[Ivanhoe]

To me it's a refuge, a home, in a world of madness and intolerance it is a sigh of sweet relief for my worried and tired soul.
I love you all.

[meeradas]

Extended family.

[Tyy1907]

It's the innumerable amount of possible futures. It's a warning. A call to action to like minded people. It's where the dreamers, the seekers, the marginalized, the misunderstood, the light workers come to. To help them remember why it is we came. Avalon helps me to validate my intuitive observations. There's so much more thats all I got for now!

[bojancan]

I could sign under every post here. They all resonate with me.
Can't imagine where I would be today without PA. Gratitude flows from my heart to Bill and all extended family.
Wishing to be alive and open for many more years to come - hopefully soon without the need to bring up all this negative stuff, but focus mostly on bright new reality we will live in...

[Mashika]

This was/is the only place where i was able to express myself, even if not fully but if you would compare to other places, this is kind of the reasons

- Was never told to 'grow up"
- Was never told to "come back in 20 years once you know better'
- Was never told 'go back to your own country' or any such thing
- Was never told 'Why do you even bother? Don't you have a site on your own language so you can join there?' or such
- Was never told 'I know you think you are right, but let me explain why you can't know better than me'
- Was never told 'you don't belong here'
- Was never told "What can you possibly know, you are just a kid, shut up and listen so you can learn for once"
- Was never told "You talk as if you knew something, you are just barren land to me"

Among many many other things i have experienced everywhere else

In short, i found that people here were open, kind and aware, and they wanted to hear and talk and they treated me with respect and much love, and never once told me to go away because i had different opinions, unlike any other site i have been in the past 5 years or so, which always, no matter what, ended going into one of those points listed above

None of that ever happens here, and even if i go completely frustrated, there's always respect and kindness and willing to listen and move on from bad stuff. Again unlike anywhere else

If i were to compare, most other sites are like going to work, and having to follow ridiculous rules and being forced to act the part of a good employee, while Avalon is like going to the mountains, and feel the fresh air in your face and if you want to scream you do, and if you just want to sit and watch the wind blowing and the sky, you do, and if you want to sleep against a tree, you just do. And it will be perfectly fine to tell everyone else what you dreamed while lying there, and it will be cool and people will actually share their own dreams, just when they did the same as you. There will never be "I'm sure you did, but i had a better one that you, because i know you are not better than me" situation going on :)

So, to me, Avalon is like the mountains, where you can be free, in ways no other place in the world you can be

ETA: I also always felt like it was like looking at things from the top-down, like a black box, always circling around but never actually getting into it..

It was never fully what i hoped and wanted, there was always lack of meaning, and lack of joy and purpose, and all conversations would always be "this is great, thanks for sharing, now good luck and bye!" Then found that here it wasn't at all like that, could not even begin to describe how different the world looks now, once you actually can expand on everything and start getting somewhere

:bearhug: :heart::flower::flower::flower::flower:

Thank you very much for your wonderfully composed opening post Mark/Rahkyt.


I would never have known any of you avalonians were it not for the creation of this shining oasis in an upside-down world by Bill Ryan. Guaire mile mhaith agat ( a hundred thousand thank you's) to you Bill for such a gift.


Avalon quenches my spirits thirst!


I love all you beautiful compassionate joyful loving giving healing exploring caring souls!


Love peace and joy to all!

If you have played online for some time, you get to see the meme of "ok login off now, see you tomorrow guys!" and then the status of the friend says "Last Seen: 450 days ago", and you never get to know what happened because he lived on another country and you always only met online playing games and never called other way or knew addresses or personal info...

This also happens when you go to multi cultural schools, where friends come live school life with you then go away once school is over and you may keep contact for some time then lost contact for years/ever

Life is like that sometimes :(

[heretogrow]

Why? I love you all as much as I love my own blood relatives. You are my soul family and you are just precious to me.You are all amazing in so many different ways. And you, with your wonder and broad wisdom, curiosity, tenacity, and search for the truth, in turn, make, me a better person. I am indebted to your wonderful spirits and better off because of the richness you gift to me each day!

I truly Love you from the pit of my soul!

More or less Avalon is a social outlet. I'm not on social media or any other forums. Well a couple, but I rarely post or lurk them. One is an auto repair forum that's full of numbskulls and the other one is a Buddhist forum. The former is only good for technical advice, but not always. Too many dumb, intolerable rednecks and only a few actual mechanics. The latter is great, it's just a very linear and in depth forum. Very great for research, I do some lurking there.

Avalon is the only place I socialize in. I used to be a member of a large forum for the skeptic minded and I posted there similar to how I do here. That place was a madhouse though. People would/still do viciously argue, openly insult and wish ill on each other. It's unbelievable the things those dummies would say to each other, they were the mightiest of all keyboard warriors. Two of them did get so worked up over an online argument that they tried to set up a fight in their local area (UK somewhere) - they got banned for that. I was laughing at how stupid they could be to do such a thing. Straight out of a South Park episode..

I rarely debate here, I don't see much of a reason to. Many of us are set in our own beliefs. Disagreements happen everywhere in life and it's most tolerable here. This is a place where I can stick with, "Do I want to be right or happy?" I do call people out occasionally, but that's rare.

[George]

I can underwrite so many posts above. Refuge. Family. Information. Therapy. I have always been a seeker and I have found PA years ago. I came here to learn and I found some of the most important books of my life here on the forum that helped me walking my path a bit further. I am here almost everyday - made PA the default page on my browser.

[janette]

What's not to love?..Avalon is my safe happy place in a lonely world. I'm not a major poster on here but I love to learn about every aspect of the subjects that are discussed here. My brain is hungry for knowledge and there is no better place to find it than avalon. I respect and love every one of you. You've taught me so much and I thank you for that. :heart:

[Bill Ryan]

Well, I should probably answer this question myself. :)

Avalon was born of a couple of factors, back in August 2008: (For some of the background, see this thread: A Brief History of Project Avalon. (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?105707-A-Brief-History-of-Project-Avalon))

I really needed to separate myself from Kerry Cassidy, as working together was becoming difficult and strained for us both. (But the split only really happened in 2010, after Avalon was already well-established.)
I was aware that Project Camelot was primarily focused on what one might regard as bad news reports. Like, "You thought we had problems. Wait till you hear THIS."
:)

So a strong motivation for Avalon, as a standalone sister project, was to provide solutions, community, connectedness, empowerment, useful practical information, and so on. NOT just more and more news about problems.

It's hard to measure! But that probably does make up the themes of most of Avalon's 90,000+ threads. Of course, we have news and updates of various kinds — especially now — which definitely alert people to new problems, some of which may be critically important to be aware of.

And those threads are often near the top of the New Posts and New Threads lists. But as I think most reading this will know, there's FAR more to the forum than that. As I've often said, it's a vast free library, and I'm totally proud of it.

And I'm very well aware that in this new age of censorship, Avalon's role is increasingly important by the month. There's a LOT that can be found both on the forum and the Avalon Library (https://avalonlibrary.net) (which is now huge) that is sometimes very, very hard to find elsewhere.

We do reach a lot of people: 10x-15x as many guests as members on any one day — and sometimes more. So Avalon's reach is a little bigger than one might first think. Of course, it's the members who collectively create this valuable resource. The mods just try (their best! :) ) to organize it all and make it user-friendly and accessible.

For me personally, it's a couple of things. It's a job — and I do work at it. I spend probably several hours a day quietly monitoring things, fixing things, replying to routine issues, and so on.

But the forum is also to me what it is to many others who've shared their thoughts here: a one-stop-shop of valuable news, information, ideas, fascination and inspiration; genuine friendship with many; and a kind of family, too.

Many have used that term, but I really do have no other family. I live alone with my dog, and I have no family members anywhere. I'm all on my own in the world, which I'm used to now but which really is pretty unusual by most human standards. Without Avalon, I really would have no-one to talk to — at all.

My life is very self-sufficient in many ways, but Avalon is a VERY large part of the balance and perspective I need, and a super-thick layer of wonderful icing on my own quite rich cake of interesting experience.

Always remember: it's you, reading this, who've made Avalon what it is. :sun:
:happy dog:

I think I've aired this notion before, that a good number of Avalon members know/knew each other in other existences, previous lives, or have crossed paths before. That's what I suspect.

That is what I know to be true. "vers la flamme", like moths drawn to the flame, our souls are again and again drawn to the truth, and so we also find one another again, on our mutual way towards finding it lifetime after lifetime...

I take (Project) Avalon quite literally... if you don't know the history, Avalon was a place halfway between this reality and the faerie realm, which I've come to think of as the realm beyond this universe. And if time moves at a very different pace beyond this universe, then in Avalon it moves at a pace somewhere in between...

I learned an important lesson after joining the Project Avalon forum just as it begun in 2008, from someone who was onto something, and got a lot of people's attention, but in the end could not stay the path. It seemed they were running too fast.

It taught me to pace myself, trying to turn 10 years of remote viewing/meditation training into 20 by going deeper and further than I was taught was possible.

There were very difficult times, times I would call "crossing the abyss", and it was in those times that Avalon reminded me that there was an important reason to stay the path and see it through to the end. I still feel like I am taking my last few treacherous footsteps over that neverending footbridge over the Abyss...

Avalon would be the only right place to release the kind of information that had come of all this, the community here caters to and encourages a mentality that allows people here to remember things their souls had long forgotten, over countless lifetimes of being compelled to forget.

Avalon is the kind of place that can remind someone on such a challenging, largely solo journey that it will have all been worth it in the end.

Avalon is the gateway between where our souls are now, and where they came from and must ultimately return.

(See, it's hard not to get the various definitions of Avalon mixed up in your head once you've done your homework... ;-) )

Looking for answers is where I found project Camelot, having this feeling we are so much more than what we were lied about to in school. When Bill and Kerry were together in Camelot they did many video interviews that were just riveting with knowledge and the what ifs. My father took us on a trip across the United States when I was 8 years old, we went to so many places, Yellowstone, mesa Verde Indian cliffs, grand canyon,st Louis arch ,badlands of South dakota,Hoover dam, ect, ECT. I asked him why he did that at such a young AGE? He said he took us on that trip to expand our minds :).

When project Avalon was born this was home to be among knowledgeable souls from all around the world as one big family that was brought together to learn from each other and once again expand our minds. It was a humble place where nobody says your crazy with those conspiracy thoughts or ideas but instead there is rational conversations of what's important to you and us as a collective soul. It's a place where you feel comfortable , and how cool is this to be having a dialog with minds from all over the world to learn, nurture, and be de_bunked as well.

This has been one of the best rides in my lifetime to participate here where I have learned much.

I came here not for a social experience, but I sure got one by joining!

I found extended family here.

The real reason I came here was because I had been poking around online, and found the subject of et, and many other topics, which led to many experiences I had, that I needed to put into perspective for myself... I had found the Serpo information, Project Camelot, and many other things... And when I ran out of Camelot videos to watch, I realized there had been a split between Camelot, and that Avalon existed. I came here for a few years apparently prior to actually joining, I had thought I had joined much earlier... But that is what brought me here..

The second half of the question, why do I come back? Truth be told, I was a bit unsettled here when I first came, as there were some who liked to argue... I saw no point in name calling, shaming and the like, merely for a difference of opinion, as we are all soooo very different. I felt calling someone names will never change their opinions.. But perhaps a well articulated reasoning could... Or at least an understanding of the differences, and appreciation of such things could be found...

And indeed, I did stop coming for awhile... But there was a complete turnaround.. Ego seems to have been replaced with a sense of respect for the differences that others have, and a nice calm environment in which people can come and interact is the end result.. To me that is the most beautiful thing about this site... Humanity, with all of our quirks, all of our differences, (which are many given where we grew up, what we were taught, etc...) all joining in one environment to share, and expand... To teach one another what we learned along the way... To challenge the status quo..

For many, this place is a safe place for them to share things they do not even share with their own blood family! So this is quite a big deal in my opinion... And never are they shamed for sharing.. It's wonderful...

For this "Home" I am grateful... I am grateful for Bill and Kerry for having the tenacity all those years ago to embark on these projects, and mostly that they followed through... I thank the mods and members for making a true effort to keep this place friendly and cordial, as we really don't need to become the chaotic crowd that most alternative crowds are. The UFO field is a mess, yet here we discuss that and so many other things, and we get along.. I wish others would follow the example of those who keep this house a home...

It's a beautiful thing... And I am glad I was welcomed here. Thank You All... And Bill, Thank You!!!

Avalon to me is a special place. I will speak purely from the heart and say this; it really is a special place, and it is so special that I do firmly believe over the years it has been recognised as a threat by the cabal. Why? For one, because a lot of valuable information is here for free and an effort is made to logically analyse the information too. It is here, where I truly started to 'remember'. Something brought me here because it was time for me to wake up. I came here because very special beings woke me up in my sleep before coming here, twice.

I was never passionate enough to commit to anything I enjoyed until that moment in my life. Something was very wrong with me until that point.. I wasn't evil, just nothing satiated me, to the point I did not even bother going down the substance path, I already knew that wouldn't fill the void. I had discovered I had certain intuitive gifts by 2014-15. As I continued to take myself off the meds that inhibited these gifts, the gates swung wide open, and I started using nutritional supplementation to correct my brain chemistry. 7 years later, I have learned to control my abilities, have helped a small number of people with these gifts, and I won't stop learning, ever. Along with those gifts I developed an insatiable desire for wisdom and knowledge, to the point I try to learn multiple things at once.. I just can't help myself. This is the impact this place had on me.

Does it still have this kind of impact on me? Yes. I frequently am pulled back here, even though I don't participate much these days. This place is very important during these trying times, and as much as it has already achieved a 'special status' in my mind, much potential has yet to be reached here. So much so, that a next generation is definitely necessary in my opinion. Of course, that will be up to Bill to decide what he does with this place, especially with no family to take over.

I will also say I have met family here. I remember people even if they don't remember me. I'm talking specifically about spiritual family. Avalon is that place for me. Hopefully, it will survive and thrive during the coming storm. I believe it will. :shielddeflect:

Don't disagree with any of this. But there is also an actual physical place called Avalon, which I thoroughly believe to be true. And that is Glastonbury, England, only 20 miles from me.

The Tor was once an island rising above the Somerset Levels. A very ancient site steeped in myth and mystery, it long predates Arthurian legend, and indeed Christianity (it is claimed by some that Jesus himself came to Glastonbury before his ministry began).

I have to add that Project Avalon (in my experience/view) is the best Counter "Think Tank (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_tank)" predicting (controversial) future scenarios & trends much better than any other "Think Tanks" influencing decision making processes of the status quo political parties. Our insights are often censored, ignored, misinterpreted, overlooked, denied BUT often over 90% we get VINDICATED time after time after long time laughter & ridicule ... then when it happens in our faces as we predicted ... we do not get any apologies from them.

Imagine a future where Think Tanks like Project Avalon will be used more and more for comprehending the true bigger picture :)

I dare to say if anything (highly) controversial happens in the world that (may) impact our (future) life of millions ... you bet the chance is very high SOMEONE in our Global Project Avalon Network found key-info about it and shared it with all of us here first and you have the privilege to read about it faster than most MSM outlets!

Absolutely. This location was a portal as it coincided with where two of the "sine" type ley lines overlapped around that time:

https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ley-lines-monuments-og.jpg

As the story goes, the portal gradually went more and more out of phase with our reality as our beliefs drifted out of sync with such beliefs as would allow for it to exist. But it still bears the energy of its storied history.

It seems we are reaching an era when we can find our way there again but with new means.. instead of dolmens and standing stones, this time by using new kinds of tools that apply the same principles of wave physics and wave energy, either way achieving a special kind of synesthesia, creating the same vivid experiences of crossing the realm boundaries as experienced by others all those hundreds and thousands of years ago. I believe it... I have proven it possible to myself. We can build our own means to do this.

And so I am reminded of another reason I appreciate Avalon so much, for the fixture it became for over a decade, when the rest of the internet went in the direction of mindless technological acceleration, small talk, perpetual distraction and recently, the subtle encouragement of mob mentality having obviously worked to divide the human civilization into two groups and to pit them against one another.

Avalon is one of the only places where one could depart to work on themselves for a year, or 5 or 10, and return and count on it to have held true to itself. And it is only in such places where revolutions to reclaim the original destiny of humankind can be begun, no less.

Over the years I have felt the common sentiment that we all wanted it to come sooner, we wanted it to be 2012, in some obvious way. Something big did happen then, but it was a shift on a subtle level, a plane of existence exactly as you can understand Avalon to be, that can drift in and out of phase with our reality. From around that moment, something happened that caused that realm to begin moving back into phase with our own.

But much as it took Avalon a long time to drift out of phase with our reality, so too it takes longer than we would like it to drift back in. There is one difference we can make, concentrating our beliefs, and our remembering. Since in doing that, we are only undoing what caused it to drift away in the first place.

This may come across as rather incredible, but after the things I have seen, I believe it with my entire being. We just need to be patient, continue on our paths, and believe. And a place like this makes it that much easier to do so.
