Addicted to information cycles

[Beren]

Are you addicted to ever new sources of information?
New teacher,guru,ancient texts,video interviews ,healer,endless Bible rehashing talks,religions or just NY times daily paper life of news?

When is the time of becoming or being?

Will we BE or not to BE - question is now.

Indeed, time for a little self reflection.
Thank you, Beren, for pointing that out.
It is easy to get caught up in habitual cycles, addiction.
Addiction manifests itself in many forms.
You have just helped me to realise that I am an information addict.
Time to put the brakes on, slow it down for a bit, get back to basics.
Addiction is still addiction, even when you're addicted to something that can be viewed as positive.
Again, thank you Beren :)

I was just thinking today " am I addicted to Avalon?" .......I used to read BOOKS, and now I find myself spending many hours checking whats new on Avalon.......all day and night...I keep saying tomorrow I will give it a rest and then I get up and start checking just to see if anything big has happened .....not good son!

hahaha, I'm in the same boat (except I'm not vowing to "give it a rest")

I like the different perspectives here & the "A.D.D.-INFO-Garnishing" really works for me.. I can skip from topic to topic.. though I've noticed that on longer posts I almost *sigh* before reading them (I think to myself... Do I really want to commit to this ONE topic for the (probably 5 min) time it will take to read this "wall of text"... 9eagle9 is one of the best example/authors of these types of posts.. haha.)

so that sort of worries me a bit, & as you've said, I don't read books anymore, though I have an interesting pile to go through (and I keep buying more??).


***EDIT***
I just noticed.... I have P.A. open on two different computers at the same time... haha (both are infront of me)

I actually feel like my brain is being messed with and my ability to keep focused on a thread thats not disney sized bites is becoming more of a challenge........believe it or not I also have found myself with Avalon open on my laptop and my desk top in the same room.

I've been thinking about this very thing as well, and I reason to myself that this gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach that SOMETHING is up - brings me back over and over - trying to pinpoint exactly what it is. What is the THING that is nagging at me?? I think we all have this heightened sense of unknowing which keeps tempting us back ...

Like hearing the thundering hooves in the distance, and instead of quickly running in the opposite direction, one finds himself standing firm & readying himself .... wondering

It's not like we're going to fi d out the truth on our local television station. I've got the same feeling... As for those books; I'll read those when the power's out. :)

You`re welcome!

I think here`s the point in growing up universe wise , you don`t need anyone to do anything. You can do it yourself.
But it takes a while to grasp at this gift from God.

Then whatever you do YOURSELF- you want to share it or have others partaking your projects.
That`s the miracle of be - ing.

Avalon is definitely an addiction for me, and I hope to kick it one day!
I should be writing, making collages, cleaning out my closets, and here I am on Avalon instead.
It's as much because the chances are better that I will find out about what's really going on in the world than anywhere else I know of..
As much as it is that I will find people here who at least understand where I'm coming from,even if they don't agree.
And there's the extra bonus that if we disagree, at least you don't live in the same town that I do and there's no possibility that I will have to confront you in person! :fish: :caked: :boink:
:lol:

Beren, you pose an important question in this thread.

The answer for me is not so simple.

There is so much information out there it gets mind boggling to try to catch up with as I have just come in this "arena" 14 months ago.

I believe the "truth will set you free" motto but, where is the truth to be found.

I stay away from all TV, radio, MSM, and basically figure if something BIG is happening that I need to know I will hear about on Avalon-promptly.

But do I really need to know about the "moon matrix", the archons, the GFL, bible chat, 12-21-12, WWIII, nuclear plants, remote viewing, ufo's and the list is endless.

If you listen to Drunvalo, Littlegrandmother, Braden, Kavassilas, Andov, GFL and others you would swear on the bible (lol!) that there is no reason to move to an acreage and start an organic farm-at least not this year.

I have been telling myself to not get caught going round and round in circles with this stuff. But, in a way life is kind of on hold at this point.

It can be isolating and lonely for the "Awake and Aware" crowd and it can get frustrating and negative-as I have found. I am not really in fear, I am just sick of it -meaning the "collective mental illness" that runs the earth civilization today.
