This forum is a very interesting place, with folks of some of the widest variety of personal experience, evolving belief systems, backgrounds, inside-experiences, etc., but one that has allowed this great variety to meet and mix and learn together, mostly respectfully and with understanding of our different backgrounds, while here in a search for Truth and information for personal and global improvement in the condition of our selves and planet.
I personally am constantly trying to find the balance for myself in rational verses intuitive, in faith verses facts, in a 3D-world purpose verses a possible metaphysical Enlightenment in progress.
I am more optimistic than some, and feel great changes occuring in my energy body and awareness, perhaps due to DNA changes or perhaps not. I choose to project those perceptions onto the shared reality of all of which I am a part, and hope it's happening this way for all (whether aware of it or not), and that the (positive) results will be manifested 'soon'.
It appears to me that Bill is drawing a clear line in the sand, concerning beliefs of a mass ascension occuring this year (or any year), that that is not helpful to what this forum was or is intended to accomplish. These beliefs may even be evidence of successful programming by nefarious sources or channels, based on what some have stated about certain sources for these ideas.
It is certainly not rational to look at the world and our state as humans collectively in it and believe that's about to happen.
On the other hand, it seems reasonable (edit - poor word choice - preferable)to me, an optimist who perceives rapid personal perception/awareness increases occurring these days, that it's possible things are going to turn out better, quicker, than the pessimists or purely rational evidence seekers and fact-exposers expect.
I don't know what mechanism for that might be involved, but I suggest it could conceivably be due to changes in the electromagnetic environment in the Solar System, Sun, and Earth, causing resultant changes in brains and consciousness.
In any case, Intending and Visualizing That, while at the same time trying to accumulate and communicate maximum facts, survival data, and knowledge applied rationally to my own meat-suit and community situation, is my personal Path.
And I find Avalon's community a great resource in that effort, and Bill's founding leadership and Grace an important factor in that.
Time Will Tell (whether things have to keep getting worse for a long while or will soon get a whole lot better)
