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

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."

• Thank you for asking 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 for me, more than any other physical, emotional, mental or psychological therapies <<< no joke!

Truly appreciate many different (respectful) insights from many other Avalonians 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 not giving up (being, amongst others, attacked 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

cheers,

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!
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.
( And it's not easy to have hope when our eyes are wide open! )

...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!
And gratitude for the great, hard-working MOD team.
I've locked horns with Bill a time or two, 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.
Thanks to Rahkyt for the eloquent start to this thread, and for thinking of it.

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.
