Courtney Brown Announcement for February (now March) 2014

[Harley]

Posted by Operator (here)
I hoped for a different first presentation by an external party with irrefutable proof and then add the RV stuff.

I didn't hope for it. I expected it.

Somewhere in the early goings of this thread I made the comment that if this was to be a shared announcement then it should be automatically understood that his part of it would be focusing on the RV aspect of it. I mean it only makes sense.

So why did I want more? No why did I expect more? Did I simply let my imagination run away on me?

Well let's have a look-see at some excerpts of Courtney's own posts:

Jan 22:

Part of that announcement will happen on this Facebook page, right here.

There will be an announcement that will change everything, and it will happen in February. You will read about it here, and elsewhere.

Feb 11

There is still a lot of activity behind the scenes, including disagreement, angry emails, wonder, amazement, implied threats, international phone calls,..., you name it, it is there.

And then this is the big one:

Feb 15

What I need now is some sleep. I have been on the phone all night with people in the U.K., India, South Africa, and elsewhere, all involved with the upcoming announcement. From the very beginning, the anticipated date of the announcement was 28 February 2014. But there were some uncertainties due to the international nature of the issues involved, so we held off releasing the date. It was wise we did that. Nothing can stop the announcement, but the date involved a lot of coordination with various parties. The problem has been further exacerbated due to the fact that the announcement involves a location which at the present time is not entirely stable politically. Also, shipping of critical materials was involved, and one shipment turned out to have been corrupted, apparently while in transit. This is now being addressed.

After lots of discussion with people all over the world who are involved one way or another, we are now expecting the announcement to happen in mid-March, about two weeks later than originally anticipated.

No, it wasn't my imagination. It's my comprehension.

And my comprehension skills are just fine.

Standing wave, it was even a little disappointing to those of us that could watch it.

It seems to me that CB has some excellent marketing skills. Very capable of selling dreams with a minimum of effort. He would be doing great in selling cars and politics.

Courtney claimed to make a release with the formula of SHOCK/AWE=1*substance, unfortunately it seems that the substantiation part is zero, which amounts to, well you know what 0* amounts to.

Had he produced even a bit of absolute substantiation and we would have something. As long as there is nothing absolute, this announcement of his (even though most of us have read of laser like flower of life carvings through solid rock in Egypt, hovering stones with sound etc. and even see them as real possibilities) has no other impact than being a well done marketing plot and only adds more noise and gazillion "I told you so"s.

On the other hand it is somewhat odd that a man who used to work for alphabet agencies and teaches political science isn't all that familiar with the concept of "blowback".

Hello,

It seems to me that there is a lot of focus on Egypt and pyramids but that is only a small part of the announcement.

A very important part is also how the data was collected, that is the RV process itself!

Because we know what the target was and we have the advantage of hindsight this does not look too spectaculars to us, but what are the changes that two different people having only target numbers to work with, were able to do the sessions that they did? Isn't this really interesting? Have you ever tried doing this and see what you success rate is?

The fact that such RV sessions ARE possible, does it not point to something that is very important? With regards to consciousness, nature of reality and time?

Yes, RV is not 100% accurate, but even the simple fact that they managed to talk about the targets and not something else, is accuracy it itself and lends at least some credibility to the data. Why should we ignore this? Why throw it away? Is this not important?

With regards to the "this is scientific", again my feeling is that it does not apply to the Egypt and the pyramids but the way that the sessions were conducted. Assuming nobody is lying here, we have "blind" RV-res accurately describing a target that they knew nothing about except the target number. That's pretty scientific proof that Remove Viewing works. It does not say anything about how it works (and Courtney many not understand that either) but it is pretty hard to deny evidence that Remove Viewing is a real phenomenon. Why is this not important? Why is a process of perception that works, not worth our time?

I want to address the "theatrical aspect" of it as well. I have attempted to RV and my success rate is 0% so far. This why I find it amazing that it works for some people. But more interesting is how you present your session: if I show a doddled page and I tell you that this were the pyramids I was looking at, you would laugh in my face. It could be virtually anything on that piece of paper. But if you were able to see me and hear me as I make note of my impressions, you would understand my "doddle" differently. The theatrical part, as I understand it, is not to make it "pretty", but to add data and information that helps in decoding what is being perceived. It's much clear what the perception is when you see the sketch being drawn, rather that a finished shapshot of the process were some scribble may no longer make any sense. This is why dynamic RV sessions are much better.

Now, imagine I give you a number and ask you to send me whatever perceptions you get by "going to that target". You send in your data and then I send you the target description. What would you feel if you at least were talking about the target, let alone make accurate verifiable statements about it? I'd be pretty amazed... (And the data about the pyramids does contain information that is verifiable today, like shape and stone being used etc.. that was accurate.)

Asking for money: boy is this a big trigger or what? Do you think that this server runs on free air? We have some volunteers filling in staff positions, we have, of course, the membership adding the content and making this site what it is, but the hosting company keeps sending more and more bills. If readers and members would not contribute financially we would not have this platform. Is really that simple. I find it strange that very few challenge the fact that we need to pay for the electric bill, for cable or for a beer, but they get mightily upset when someone in alternative media is asking for money. Well.. we get what we pay for: armament, drugs that do not work, cosmetics, competitive sports, politics and so on... while we starve to death anyone who does "alternative things" because they need to do it for free while working a corporate job and taking care of themselves and possibly their family. I don't get it... Hollywood gets tons of cash for crappy/propaganda movies and someone like Courtney is a dishonest snake oil sales man because he dared asking for money for his video... Hm.

I have attempted to RV and my success rate is 0% so far.

That's better than I'd do, I'm sure .

The open question in my mind is whether Remote Viewing (RV) is what its name suggests, which is passively viewing remote places and times, or whether RV is essentially a means of telepathic communication between aware beings, where perhaps even the recipient of the communication is not aware that this is what is going on. If RV is such a sharing of information between aware beings, then its ability to address the intended target, and to return information that matches what at least some other aware beings already sense, is less surprising, not more.

Asking for money: boy is this a big trigger or what?

As others have explained above better than I can, it was not fact of asking for money that concerns some of us, but the manner in which the request was made. I for one felt almost as if I was watching a late night TV infomercial for a food processor, after a couple of months of teaser ads building up the anticipation of the greatest breakthrough in food processing in recorded human history, that would end human hunger.

(Well, not that bad - I exaggerate for effect - but more nuanced descriptions seemed less effective.)

Yes, those of you who have chosen to donate funds to this forum -- Thank-you!

Those of you who are willing and able to donate in the future - Bill Ryan will I am sure appreciate your support.

The monthly bill has just increased $20 as a result of Bill accepting the recommendation of Ilie and myself to augment the server hardware with a second disk in order to improve the performance and robustness of our backups.

You guys are too modest: 0% and less is way below chance and getting unscientific

I claim a couple of hits below, the trouble being that I was not engaged in RV but merely trying to analyze the subject. Where RV leaves off and other phenomena kick in is not entirely clear. But, just as Clemenceau (I think it was) said about war, it is far too important to be left to the military, I am very wary when ‘military grade’ RVers have to be depended upon to get places that other smaller beer cannot reach.

In my above opening posts of March 5th I drew three triangles, or 2D pyramids. Since Courtney’s announcement was about the pyramids, I claim an RV hit

And since Courtney’s announcement was about SRV itself, and my pyramids refer to SRV itself, I claim a second hit

And since my conclusion regarding the collapsing pyramid also appears to have been correct:

‘Hence, whatever the merits of remote viewing – including if it is effective as advertised – it is unlikely to lead to any major breakthrough of the kind claimed for the Announcement.’

I claim a triple whammy

Regarding the crumbling pyramid – which, remember, is the infamous hierarchical basis for the all-seeing eye – I want to return to material I have already quoted elsewhere:

Posted by araucaria (here)
In books like Ishmael or Beyond Civilization, Daniel Quinn describes the killer meme of ‘civilization’ in various terms, such as Takers, Hierarchalism, Pyramid builders etc. ‘Lost’ civilizations like the Maya, he says, did not disappear but simply walked away from this model, just as we now need to walk away into what he calls a New Tribal Revolution.

Daniel Quinn teaches that no single person is going to save the world. Rather (if it’s saved at all), it will be saved by millions (and ultimately billions) of us living a new way. A thousand living a new way won’t cause the dominant world order to topple. But that thousand will inspire a hundred thousand, who will inspire a million, who will inspire a billion – and then that world order will begin to look shaky! (p.152)

What Quinn describes as the killer meme is that ‘civilization must continue at ANY cost and not be abandoned under ANY circumstance’. The cure is dead simple: the Maya for example, who are supposed to have simply vanished, actually just walked away from what they were building when they no longer liked it. They had been building new pyramids over old pyramids for thousands of years.

The worker hordes who built the pyramids of Mesoamerica were not more miserable than the ones who the pyramids of Egypt. The workers of Mesoamerica merely perceived themselves as having an alternative to misery, which they eventually exercised (by walking away). We didn’t, so we slogged on, building a ziggurat here, a Great Wall there, a bastille here, a Maginot Line there–and on and on and on–to the present moment, when our pyramids are not being built at Giza or Saqqara but rather at Exxon and Du Pont and Coca Cola and Proctor & Gamble and McDonald’s.
I visit many classrooms, and the students one way or another always bring me round to a point where I ask how many of them are champing at the bit to get out there and start working on the pyramids their parents worked on throughout their lives and their parents before them. The question makes them uneasy, because they know they’re supposed to be absolutely thrilled at the prospect of going out there to flip burgers and pump gas and stock shelves in the real world. Everyone’s told them they’re the luckiest kids on earth–parents, teachers, textbooks–and they feel disloyal not waving their hands at me. But they don’t. (p.51)

Walking away from the pyramid is not that easy because it involves leaving behind things we consider most sacred, including heritage that we invest heavily in preserving at all costs. Stay tuned.

I totally agree that money is what pays bills and he does need it to keep his research going. Energy that only flows one direction doesn't give the receiver an opportunity to give back, and the giver doesn't get the opportunity to receive gracefully and thankfully.

Dear Synchronicity, I AM with you - we all have to pay our bills in this kind of earth at the present moment.

@ ALL of US
But is this really a free way of thinking if we want to go beyond?
Beyond the limitations, expectations, 3 D, ...

There is everything a human being needs given freely by the Universe/God/Mother Earth
Water, air, wild food, wood to build shelter, ...
So why aren't we aible to give whatever we think, know, ... away freely too?
Like the Buddhist saying f.e.: don't expect anything.
And I can receive sth. gracefully like a present in the presence of/from a dear friend!


There is a more abundant flow of resources on this planet/in Universe, if we could give away, ...

The question I AM reflecting about is: (if) We all are ONE - interwoven/entangled, connected, ...
is it really necessary to receive from the same person, we gave something earlier?

If there is a circle of energies beyond my "little limited earthly life" (and I AM sure we all here in project avalon are doing research on this ),
so why aren't we able to trust this experiencing this higher/more expanded level of giving and taking?

[Agape]

I watched just a little piece of the introduction video ( having sore eye or 3 at the moment ) and if I'm to say something on this topic ... it's just typically 'well done' .

There seems to be thin line between 'conformism' and 'non-conformism' in our human society, and from my own experience , in some stages of your life and evolution you feel naturally more attracted to one of them , more than the other .. and then .. most people feel the need 'to balance the act ' .

Experiment , exploration, truth seeking, discoveries - mental or physical, learning process - if massive, genuine and original are more than often on the non-conformists side .

There is a thread someone recently started in general section.. about woman being suspected psychotic case because she recited biblical verses or prayed , during her hospitalisation, again ...it's very hard to judge a case like this. Who knows what she did .

Conformism is something that keeps every society starting from 3 people to much bigger number together .. as long as we can agree on some principles, we can fit in,
I've heard that too many times from my parent to forget how 'it sounds' .

You can die for being genuine , original truth seeker, non-conformist , whistleblower, scientist , discoverer , church reformer .. many people did.

Giordano Bruno , John Hus, JFK, Jesus Christ , 120 plus Tibetans who self immolated themselves in protest to China .. to name but a few .

Someone like Courtney Brown who has name in the Academia nowadays really knows where is the border, the time to settle down , to conclude the experiment ..
to cross to the mature side of life where the society is calling you. It's almost inevitable . Very few people actually, do otherwise .

If you want 'real Masters' , go somewhere to the Himalayas ( or perhaps Ecuador, the heights are the same ) and if you are honest individual you still have the chance to find them . This is rare statement ... and I'm not selling it . There may be times where they're gone . And it's not a mockery .

But I know precisely what many ( and many ) of you will think or suggest .. because I have years of teaching experience in these 'areas of interest' but also , seen the time/evolution accelerating in recent years , immensely , for all of us .
You'll simply say 'I don't have the time/money/will /wish/ need ... whatever .. to do that' .

You'll start augmenting me with statements like 'not everyone can ' . and if that was the fate of human civilisation... and 'we need to stay in' and 'enlighten the masses' .

Why not .. so this is your way through ... it's much more thorny , more uncomfortable from where I see it, with less achievements for individual but more for the society ( you claim ) and it goes with the time and morals ..

so being 'couch potatoes' . Watching documentaries instead going there and learning to meditate ( or RV) en mass , from video tapes and sharing information to global consciousness , and using the net matrix to sell ideas .

Sorry if I sound harsh , I don't mean to It's incredibly dangerous state of human society we're experiencing now and every kind of balanced bravery is needed .

I don't know about your conformism that much . I've seen many ( countless ) of my good friends to CROSS to the other , more settled , more comfortable stage of life, volition, carrier , search ... in some stage of their life .. but they've probably always been there . I don't know . I think, we all have a choice at some point .

I made some decisions on my path that I doubt . On both sides of the scale .

One thing I'm totally unable to do in life .. is sell things, philosophically or practically . Not having a iota sense for doing that .

But not seeing anything too odd with what Courtney does ... and many do, before and after .. and THEY ARE .. the nice people of this Universe,
they go with the flow, the stream , or part of it at least and create 'the middle way' for you .
Else , the teachings .. would remain secret and whispered from ear-to-mouth like in old days, not even written down in books.

And as Lao'tze says in his Book about Tao and the Way ..

educated society is NOT necessarily also genuine society,
more education - more corruption,
return to knitting .. from writing your millions of books
and you'll feel in peace again.

Is it possible ? Possible or not ? And who shall decide, for you, for me, for Courtney ? Public opinion ? If so...we are all SOLD . Stamped . Bumped .

W-H-A-T-E-E-V-E-R!!!

How about helpin' out an elderly neighbor down the street, that'll change the world and this scenario a whole lot better and sooner!

Just sayin' because there's alot of just sayin' goin' on and I usually keep my mouth shut, but just can't anymore!

Time for 'just' doin'...imho!

Yes, that was my feeling the whole time. Thinking of knowing how we got here or that there are other beings in the universe, which isn't a new concept to most humans on one level or another, shouldn't be the guiding force in a life. Whoever my ancestors were and whether they were building or overseeing or whatever, it's what I do and who I am in this lifetime that matters. I can't change what happened in the past, and I surely have no control over Courtney's methods or actions and intentions, but I can keep doing the best I can here and that to me is the point no matter what else goes on. I can still teach my kids compassion and to trust their instincts as they learn and search for their own path, and while I already stated how I feel about how this was presented, I'm not going to shut my mind and not at least read whatever else he might say is the rest of the "announcement". I'm not going to hang on it and obsessively check for it, drop what I'm doing and go join an RV class since I'm happy with how I do it and I have other areas I'm working on anyway, but he is Courtney and I'm me, so I'm only responsible for my actions and words in the long run.

I don't think he gets this could have been so different, but he doesn't care what I think and that is fine, too, since I'm not living my life according to how he thinks I should, either

Morning everybody, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in:

1. This thread was awesome when the participants were creating it....people were excited about an idea
2. This thread sucks now that people are upset that some dude didn't wave a magic wand that will prompt the change that so many of us feel is neccessary.
3. If you feel your life is less than extraordinary...no one can say anything that will change that...only you can
4. People always ask me "what can we do about it"--if they've bothered to listen to what I have to say--I always answer it starts with you. Make a personal choice to think for your self and come to your own conclusions
5. You shouldn't be upset that someone didn't blow your mind for you.....You should be happy that it's still your mind to blow your self.

Anyway....let's just get on with the business of watching, thinking, talking, writing, and waiting for.......uh wait...what exactly are we waiting for?
Authority to pat us on the head and say "you were right"
Society to agree
A change in our mundane lives
Someone to do your thinking for you

Let's just be happy we are still here to have these conversations and keep having them.....even if you had so-called "hard evidence" people have to decide if they will accept it anyway....there are lots of cases (9/11, climate change, etc) where there is very compelling "hard evidence" and people ignore it.

Hope this finds us all well.....I'm going to get another cup of coffee and look for something to read.

Thanks for these comments.

Those of us who have tried to keep the discussion fresh, and been disappointed to see so much negativity.
Let's try to get this back on track... discussing what can REALLY BE DONE to bring greater awareness,
even when TPTB and intelligence services, etc. are so keep to keep the truth covered up

[Hervé]

Remote Viewing...

Here is what I managed to make out of it:

The labeling of that activity is, first of all, a misnomer.

The same goes for "telepathy".

That's what Ingo Swann found out and the end result of misnoming something is something like putting the label "LIE" on some obvious, self evident truth.

Why is it a misnomer? Only someone like Einstein who was some king of equation-simplifications could have found it, maybe.

See, what Ingo Swann found out with his Jupiter and Moon experiments is that, in that Orwellian equation, there is no distance.

If there is no distance, how can the doing of it be "tele-"something or "remote"?

Why no distance?

Because Ingo was RIGHT THERE, looking at the target, perceiving it directly and, in the case of the Moon, BEING PERCEIVED, RIGHT THERE, ON THE SPOT!

Accordingly the current definition of "remote viewing" has it completely and exactly backward: the perceiving being is remotely handling a body on Earth to do the doodling and recording of the direct perceptions...

Hence the title of Ingo's book: "Penetration."

Personally, rather than a "penetration" I would describe it as an "assumption" or a pervasive infiltration/percolation of the target energy field by one's own perceptic field. The attribute of "Water" signs...

Now, for the "doing it"... well, that too is very complicated and very difficult to achieve (RVers reading this, hold on your horses!) and the reason why N/S/A got all these super Cray computers working full time in order to crack that nut:

One simply needs to DECIDE to BE there and look!

The only reason the so-called "C"RV works, the RVRer decides to go there... so, the "enemies" of sovereign decision-making obfuscate and muddy the field with quantum mechanics, holographic thingies, yoga postures, booby-trapped meditations, governments, TVs, "News," Lottos, Bingos, etc...

And, so, the only caveat is to avoid firefly-traps... the first and biggest of all being: "Prove it!"

Then one only needs to clear, as much and as thoroughly as possible, one's perception field from all inherited programs/implants and hones one's confidence in one's perceptions.

Simple protocol to go by:

Who or what is doing the perceiving?

What exactly is being perceived?

Where exactly is it perceived to be coming from?

... enjoy the flights and the sights

[Shane]

The military studied RVing, and how to trick RVers. By the time they allow things like this to become public, they have already figured out how to use it themselves, and protect themselves from it.

The true value in this is the potential of the Implication postings.

MISO. Not the soup.

[sunflower]

Shane:
"The true value in this is the potential of the Implication postings "

I agree with you here. That's why this thread is worth reading! More ideas were spun out of the implications. And more topics for discussions with family and friends. I ordered Courtney`s video to share with them.

The distinction we should make on energy (money) exchange is this:

Is this something I support? Is it a fair exchange?
or
Is this not beneficial to me in a way? I don't think the exchange is fair, or is exploitative.

If you want the information and video he provided, but you feel angry or cheated that he is charging, maybe you should look in the mirror and see if there is any greed in your own heart, to want his energy contribution, without giving back your own.

Here's my only problem with this statement. It presumes there is always a fair exchange with no real way of knowing until the exchange is made. I do not have any problem sharing my energy (money in this case) for another's energy (research & video production in this case) as long as: a) the exchange rate is reasonable (and I believe it is in this case); and, b) I am receiving what I am led to believe I am receiving (and therein lies the rub).

One could argue that a used car salesman puts a lot of energy into selling you a car and should be compensated for their effort (energy) no matter what the situation. But if the salesman is a dishonest type who manipulates you into buying a piece of junk the dealership needs to unload, even though you were led to believe it was in good condition and had no problems, was the exchange a fair exchange?

I know nothing about the FarSight Institute and Courtney Smith and while they may both be fine upstanding and honest entities, I'm at a disadvantage like the aforementioned unsuspecting car purchaser. So in this situation I have two choices: a) take a chance and spend the money for the video and hope it is a fair exchange; or, b) walk away knowing no more than I did before--but I get to keep my money.

At first I thought, perhaps, a more equitable solution would be for FarSight to offer a money back guarantee. For example, they could offer the video with a 72 hour refund period to give the purchaser time to view and assess the video. If the purchaser decides within the refund period that the information provided was just more snake oil and of no real value to them then they could request and receive a refund.

However, after thinking a bit more about your last statement, I realized that there are scam artists on both sides of any exchange (i.e., those who will lie, mislead, and/or say anything to make a sale and those who will find ways to get what they want without having to pay a fair price for it).

So I'm back to square one. Arghhh....

Does anyone else get a negative feeling from C Brown's manner of speaking? I feel he is over-enunciating; nervous; not at ease with what he is saying . Is he being "used" or "forced" in some way to participate in this? I ALMOST hear/see a cry for help, or am I totally insane by now (not impossible! _

Yes, I noticed also that he seemed stilted...nervous perhaps? Compare his presentation with the last Camelot interview. He seems much more relaxed and gracious.
