Like Corey Goode, Simon Parkes was once an active member of Project Avalon and developed a following here before he was known on Youtube and other places on the internet. While Goode quickly built up his Sphere Being Alliance group, it has taken Parkes a bit longer to evolve into the person behind his "Connecting Consciousness" community.
It's now my conviction that Simon Parkes may be more dangerous to the ufology/conspiracy community than Corey Goode ever was. Unlike Goode, his star is not setting and he has a large and active following (along with Charlie Ward) and he is much more focused on politics than on ufology. He may have lost some favor here on Project Avalon in the last year as one prediction after another failed to come true, but he has a growing following on the internet through his "Connecting Consciousness" group.
Some things he has in common with Corey Goode:
He presents himself as an empath, a healer, a counselor and attempts to get individuals to confide in him. He then uses this information for his own selfish purposes.
He demonstrates interpersonal behaviors that are extremely abusive.
He has many fantastic and unverifiable stories that continually change and are sometimes contradictory. He claims to have lots of inside connections to both whistleblowers/government insiders and off world beings.
He is actively working to build a large base of followers.
He is involved in litigation to control what people are saying about him.
There are three aspects to Simon Parkes and the following he has out there. Many of his followers are not aware of the other aspects, for example, in the last year he, along with Charlie Ward, claimed to have inside political information about what was happening between the U.S. election and the Presidential Inauguration (January 20, 2022) and beyond. Many of those followers are completely unaware of his paranormal experience stories, and might have even been repulsed by him if they knew about them. The aspects are:
Parkes as a paranormal experiencer. This is how he first became known on Project Avalon in his 2014 interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6dxXAAAIp4).
Parkes as a counselor. Since even before the 2014 interview, he had been "counseling" at least one family member of a Project Avalon member. He also presented himself as a counselor in some of his paranormal interviews. The view of Parkes as a competent, therapeutic counselor began to diminish greatly with the thread Our experience with Simon Parkes as a counselor (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?88999-Our-experience-with-Simon-Parkes-as-a-counselor), but seems to have had little impact on aspect #3.
Parkes as a political insider and political activist. This is how he has become known in the last two years, often seen talking with Charlie Ward. This version of Parkes was quite the hot topic on Avalon here for about a year, but after numerous predictions failed to come true, his name seems to have disappeared from the forum, however, this version of Parkes is still quite popular with his "Connecting Consciousness" group that he has been attempting to build world wide.

Here's the video that got my attention on Simon Parkes. It's been out for two months but it has yet to be seen on the forum:

This is a panel discussion with Steve Cambian, C J Chanter, Kevin Moore and others. Also on the panel is "Ginette", a woman who had an abusive relationship with Parkes.
In the first hour, "Ginette" testifies about how Parkes presented himself as counselor claiming to have an extremely high success rate of helping people cope with their problems. At that time she started having sessions with Parkes, she was highly suicidal. On second session, Simon informed her that they are twin flames and starts asking about her sexual history and starts using vulgar sexual language, something she felt very uncomfortable with. He tried to initiate a relationship with her, but Simon did not tell Ginette that he was married.
Even though Ginette was depressed and suicidal and Parkes continued to present himself as a healer, he abused her horribly. At one point he would not permit her to talk about her suicidal feelings, because, he stated, that it was "a huge turn off" for him. Long story short, her description of him: "a psychopath/narcissist who preys on vulnerable people."
Per the panel, there are many other women who have shared their story of abuse, but Ginette is the first one to go public. Some panel members have spoken to Simon's lawyers and it would seem that Parkes has hired an attorney to manage this situation and Ginette has been threatened.
It is suggested that Simon gets his playbook from Scientology. He is urging his fans to run for election and gain political power. His group explicitly says they are about influencing and taking control of government and about reeducation people. The claims that he and Charlie Ward made have contributed to the madness that caused a few people to storm the Capitol building in Washington D.C. last year.
Starting around 1 hour 18 minutes on the video, his changing and contradictory claims are evaluated.

There are 74 threads on Avalon that usually deal with one aspect of his work. It seems only two of them are critical of him: Poll: Simon Parkes - Genuine Or Bogus? (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?111517-Simon-Parkes-Genuine-Or-Bogus) and Our experience with Simon Parkes as a counselor (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?88999-Our-experience-with-Simon-Parkes-as-a-counselor).
I am starting this thread so that we can not just look at his work and his experiences and his stories, but so that we can look at the man behind the curtain, and integrate these different aspects to understand what is really happening.
