In defense of the realm
My apologies for the length of this post. I don’t want to trim it any more than I have.
It has been speculated that this forum is being attacked, and that one of the methods used is psychic attack. This is the main subject of this post, but I want to do some scene setting.
Recently I decided to step back from the day to day happenings of the forum, and I still want to do this for a few weeks for general reasons, but initially I wanted to more deeply consider the situation and see if there was any way I could help. Fred's sacred circle thread (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?55216-The-Sacred-Circle) has inspired me to make this thread for your consideration.
In the “real” world I work in Information Technology. One of the areas in which I work is Information Security for a financial institution that takes such things rather seriously. It is helpful in a job like that to model the problem. One uses jargon terms like threat spectrum, attack surface, defense perimeter, security posture, etc. Cool sounding arm-chair ninja stuff. When you boil away the glamor, it involves being methodical and disciplined and making sure all the angles are covered and attended to.
The point is, to harden a system the various components of that system have to work together. The job of an attacker is a lot easier when the defenses are not acting in mutual support of each other.
Before progressing from this analogy, into the more metaphysical I just want to make a little disclaimer. I don’t have any kind of special access esoteric knowledge that confers any authority to speak on this subject. I am a human just like you all and we are all created equal in the mind of the creator and in the image of the creator.
Also, I want to say a little about the Law Of One as it substantially informs my thinking, I’ll get that out the way now so that the people who think it’s all rubbish can if they want quit reading now, and for the rest of you enrich the context.
I do consider that I am a serious student and practitioner of the Law of One. This really means nothing and confers nothing special on me; but it does inform my thinking.
I have observed that the Law Of One was connected this forum from the beginning. I have played my part in that over the years, but it started with the early connections, via interview, with the work of David Wilcock. That interview is also how I found this place and joined up all those years ago. This link is not tenuous, because many reading this will be wanderers experienced in this work – anyway it doesn’t matter so let’s not be distracted. Just recognize that we are not a normal bunch when compared to Earthling normal.
Anyone who has read the Law Of One (LOO) books will know that the work of bringing forth the material was accompanied by ongoing and sometimes quite sophisticated psychic greeting and significant effort was spent by that group in meeting and working those greetings in a way that would allow the work to continue fruitfully. It was not combat. The practices of maintained high vibration, good use of energies, mutual support (they were a group) and some white magic ritual banishing were enough to keep them safe and the work as clean as could be.
I have adopted the phrasing used by the Law Of One authors: “psychic greeting” rather than “psychic attack” because what we are dealing with here is simply a concerted effort to trip us up; an effort which as many here realize requires consent at some level – the archetypal vampire asking for permission to cross the threshold; and if allowed or invited in, creating havoc.
It all starts with a greeting, a knock at the door.
Like LLResearch working with the Ra contact, something that many, including myself consider immensely valuable for current humanity; so Avalon can also work rather well and inevitably attracts the attention of those for whom progress of this kind represents a problem that needs to be solved – we can call them the loyal opposition. From time to time they will find ways to create divisive, distracting drama among groups of potentially harmonious people.
I have, since joining Avalon, been interested in seeing the overall successful function of the forum. That function I believe has a large metaphysical component, which when subgroups of us share a common intent acts as a collector and harmonizer . The effect is to aid, consolidate and harmonize. When it works it is magical. It has its ups and downs, which go in waves. That group intent (not always all of us, but subsets) does flick from subject to subject, from one hot topic to the next hot topic.
Avalon is not one person, it is a group. That group has at any time various levels of potential to work together. Small groups of us have ameliorated weather systems, effected healing, initiated a process resulting in manifestation of boons in people’s lives that have helped them immensely. So many people underestimate themselves and the power they are gated into as humans - let alone the awesome power of a group doing the same thing in harmony, but Avalon has done those things and has managed to pull off the odd group initiative.
So is it any wonder the loyal opposition are active and on the case?
Many times they try, and many times there is some damage, but overall, the group heals. Those that step away are replaced by others. Those playing special roles will be replaced by equally special and talented beings. I think this is true because Avalon is self sustaining via the law of attraction. The group has never been smashed enough to prevent this.
If Avalon were able to maintain a harmonious front, and cover all its portals, the “perimeter” it would be immune, but we know perfection is unrealistic - what we can do is our very best.
In my opinion Fred's thread, https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?55216-The-Sacred-Circle, is one supreme example of this in action.
We therefore need to identify all the ways in which we can be tricked into allowing the loyal opposition across the portals and do their disruptive work.
It is helpful if we can know a few things:
1) How to stop them
2) How to know when they are in
3) How to deal with the problems they cause when that happens
I don't know all the answers. Got a few opinions though.
On the https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?55024-Psychic-attacks-solutions-comments-and-advice thread various people, including me, have presented information or made suggestions of what sorts of things one can do in the face of psychic greeting, and this advice is typically for one persons individual challenges.
The inspiring and exciting thing about Fred's thread is that it is a great example of what a group can do. Its not a clique either it has one object: the highest and best good for Avalon.
I am sure that this is not a domain where a singular hero will fly in and save the day, even though we have hero's on here working away at the problems – just as ET won’t come and save us from ourselves. This is ingrained in the majority mindset of Avalon; and is why I see Fred’s thread as a highly practical step in “perimeter defense”.
That thread and any other approaches we consider need to be group approaches.
We are each responsible for what we do, both to ourselves and the groups we work with. Those wanderers here will have instincts that are well tuned by their subconsciously shrouded (veiled/forgotten) pre-incarnation/past-life experiences of working as a group. To those of you, this is why you are actually naturals at it. Those without so much solid experience will have more work to do to get in that group groove.
All the usual fears will flare up in group work, where the ego is presented with big challenges. See them for what they are, but especially see them as chinks in our collective armour.
None of the disturbances are any one persons fault. If there is a fault, it is that we have not yet achieved the consistent harmony required to operate well against this interference; we have not purified ourselves of the tendancy to allow ourselves to be used to magnify discord - typically through the way we use words.
This is not bad either – because as Bill pointed out in various posts – we are at the same time offered superb opportunities to learn. It is ok to make mistakes, it really really is. One persons mistake and correction, is another persons opportunity to forgive.
This post is my first pass attempt at a synthesis of what we are learning right now.
1) How to stop them.
You can’t. You actually don’t have the right to either. What you can do is keep them at a safe distance. Don’t let them over your boundary. They may offer greeting, to which you can affirm: you may stay and listen to our lessons of love and service, see our work in truth and light, but you SHALL NOT PASS, unless you are of love and of light and accept that love and light.
In a group setting, this means that each must refuse the greeting if that service is offered.
As soon as you attack them, you are inviting them to engage you. They will then do their work of destabilization; and you may then, by de-tuning from your highest and best become a vector for attack in the group as a total.
2) How to know when they are in
It’s hard at first but people start behaving in uncharacteristic ways. Kind people start saying unkind words; people start taking offense and even giving it. Weird philosophies take hold. Cults of personality start. Witch hunting. Divisiveness etc
3) How to deal with the problems they cause when that happens
Tolerance, forgiveness, unconditional judgement-free support and love. Take no offence. Don’t raise to the bait. Tune yourself to your highest joy, no evil/low/negative (whatever you term it) energy can penetrate that.
I am as convinced as I can be that combat is not the way to survive prolonged psychic greetings. Psychic pissing matches are not cool.
You know it.
If you live by the sword you die by the sword;
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Don’t fight them. You can turn the other cheek.
If you are working in a group and your brother falls, lift him back up, call on aid for him, hold him/her in the light, be the best you can be for them.
Part and parcel of being in a group like this is that we each have implicity given the other PERMISSION to render aid. Do we agree this point by the way? It is important in the steps to close ranks and contain in the perimeter a higher-focus of Avalon.
If you yourself fall, call on aid, call on protection – if you are aspiring to the highest and the best you can be, you will be helped.
To those of Fred’s circle and those who have not seen or decided to affirm the intent expressed, all of you, go in peace and joy, in the light and in the love of the one infinite creator. You are that.
Close ranks and calmly be.
You of the darkness who do not accept light, no, you may not pass among us.
