Where is Viking?

[Sabrina]

My resignation thread has picked up that Viking has dropped off the Avalon planet and become a retired member. What has happened to him? No grand gesture and leaving announcement. Just gone. And he's not even a banker (as far as I know). Feel I need to be the Tarka to his Viking in the interest of balance. Will be channeling for info. over night. Any news anyone?

[RunningDeer]

Viking, I'm leaving the light on for ya! You just take all the time you need...

I'll be waiting right over here ................

Peace,
WhiteCrowBlackDeer

I've just spoke to Viking, he says all is well and he sends his love to all at Avalon.

Viking has been here almost two years exactly.
Even though we were not exactly on the same page we were not in opposition either.
He has many friends over 200 in fact.
Hope it is a temp retirement.

I think he was just plain weary. With all of the... you know. All that to-do that really wasn't a to-do at all? And by that I mean, to me, it was a to-do, and to some other folks, it was also a to-do, but to some folks in authority, it wasn't really much of a to-do. Nothing to see here, move on, you know?

I hope he has a change of heart and ignores the BS.

He has done much for PA.

Countless times I have been made aware of many many things he has posted and the subsequent perspectives on those topics.

A very valuable resource and a very kind person, Sorry to see him leave.

Blessings to the rest of your journey Viking

Although I am not into channelling per se I did enjoy Viking's upbeat personality. He did start many an interesting thread which I enjoyed reading. Hope to read another one soon!

[EnergyGardener]

Please let us know of any positive developments with Viking. Please drop me a PM with his email address if you have it.

Hey Viking, if you get a chance to read this,

Please don't let the to do's keep you away too long. I enjoy your posts and most of all your BEING Great Vibes and loving energy is needed everywhere, so may you continue to share your joy each day as you so freely presented here and may your cup always be full of LOVE.

[Little Ishta]

Another good one gone? Yeeesh! Too many are leaving. And its sad to see them go. Hoping that Viking just needs a break and will return. If not, all the best and love to him. You will be missed Viking!

[cloud9]

Well, Viking left once but he came back... which I think makes him a wise guy.
He is a true Avalonian and I hope ( I know) he'll come back, he knows Avalon is his home.

[Mandala]

Hey Viking, I miss you around here. Mandala

[Camilo]

If he is not making a big noise about it (like others), I would say he is just taking a break.

[Hermite]

I hope you, Viking, have a nice vacation, rest up and come back refreshed and ready to forge on ahead. These are the times when we need to stick together, not fall apart. <3

Okay . . . what I am about to post will probably get my “hammer in a jam” but I have noticed a couple things that have my curiosity in overdrive.

Let me say first that I feel, to some extent, responsible for the current flood of members leaving the forum who where interested strongly in the channeled messages. I feel somewhat responsible because I was the one who started the thread asking that the threads/posts on channeled messages be reviewed by the moderators. Subsequently there was a tightening down of how channeled messages are posted on Avalon.

Shortly after the tightening down on the channeled messages somebody posted a thread that atticus1 forum was open to the general public for a couple days. . . . . being the ever curious female that I am I trotted right on over to the atticus forum to see what all the hub bub was about. Low and behold what did I see? Darla had just become a bona fide member of atticus . . . . which I found rather fascinating . . . . obviously there is nothing wrong or nefarious with individuals being members of several different forums, but this one rather shocked me. Darla and atticus?? . . . . . don’t know . . . . seems odd. So then my ever curious, over active mind strays over into the questioning realm of, is the atticus forum where other members (interested in channeling) heading?? If so, why? Why to that forum?

Of course I have nothing to really back up my questions other than seeing Darla’s avatar/name appear on atticus at the same time she stopped posting on PA and now viking has retired along with several other members (in the channeled realm) disappear or stop posting on PA. Of course also, someone could be using darla’s name as well . . . .but her name is very unique.

Also too, the “stirring of the pot” thread and atticus’ new interview popped up the same time the “channeled members” stopped posting and disappeared from Avalon.

I am drawing no conclusions to my observations . . . .just one of those little things that make me go hmmmmmm . . . . .

Viking may have left the building for a while but I'm sure he'll be back soon with a spring in his step?

Seems to me maybe you like to stir the pot. What difference could it possibly make to you where Darla goes and what she does? She was made to feel quite unwelcome here, as were several other folks. (I know, I know, the mods are going to tell me this isn't true. BUt it is. Personal experience is subjective. I would say that when Darla got a three day vacation for posting the word "Namaste" and a little blurb that translated it, something like, "The divinity in me sees the divinity in you," that was a big hint. And why did that get her a three day? Well, judging from the words in that post, the mods must believe they can see into her heart and believe they saw something else there. But what? I do not know. I suppose they are suggesting that her intentions were not sincere. But how can they make that judgment? Who are they to say they know when someone means the opposite of what they say? Do they have some omniscient powers? Maybe? Something else I do not know.

I was going to say something else, at first, about whether or not she is participating there. By the way, anyone can join there at any time. No big deal.

It does seem to me to be only reasonable that people who find the environment not very welcoming here would go looking for other places to participate, if they want to. Why ever not? Why shouldn't they, if they choose not to do it here? In Darla's case, I think she is rediscovering the joys of life apart from a forum full of disagreement and many hard feelings.

However, may I ask, sincerely, just what is your motivation in bringing this up? Does it matter to you what Darla does? For goodness' sakes, why? You got your wish here. Why not leave her alone now?

And, by the way, she had joined before that interview popped up here. That interview has been available to listen to for quite some time.

Sincerely,

ETM

Viking informed me today that he left because of, " the mods changing the format of channeled information ect etc ...time to go. Information should be made free to everyone, regardless."

He did not say he would "never" return, but I do know he is reviewing "friendlier" forums. Who isn't?

I would agree that your and others' hostile demands, and the virtual immediate accommodations by the mods, contributed to the departures of many.

However, from this post, I cannot tell if you are apologizing or patting yourself on the back.

It is very concerning that people are turning to channeled messages instead of channeling for themselves, don’t be led down a hole you can never get out of energetically
