The Faces of Avalon - new YouTube channel for forum members

[Christine]

Good day friends..

It feels very gratifying to receive so much support. Here is a little update. I am working on learning how YouTube operates, how to establish sections, etc. Meanwhile working on some video editing.. the important thing for me is to keep this moving along even if only one step at that time.

I have had members send me links to publish of some of their creative videos… I was thinking that to make a more personal statement for our viewers and ourselves could you please include a description of the video and something about yourself..

• Who you are?
• What motivates you?
• What you would like to accomplish?
• Anything you want to share?
• You experiences on the Avalon forum.

I can then post this little bio with the video description.

I am working on a little video of myself right now to break the ice… and to release some of my own timidness.

Thanks!!
Christine

DarMar, your animation project is awesome. I have done a tiny bit of 3D modeling (truSpace) and rendering, and I do have some idea how long it would take to do that. It's really astounding. A magnum opus.

Christine, if a video (or videos) about "The Reset Button" are not a good fit for this, that's OK. I know the video of me stammering through a presentation is far from the quality of what Bill and many Avalon members have produced, but it is my heart and soul, and my humble offering (until and unless I start from scratch and do something better.)

What I'd love to do (in addition to the "talking head" type videos - which I think are important to establish a human-to-human connection), is one or more videos using the "animated whiteboard" technique over top of a talk. (similar to the Story Of Stuff videos, among others effectively using the whiteboard animation technique.) I have no money to pay for a whiteboard animation company to do it...maybe there is an Avalonian that believes in The Reset Button Movement and would just do it? (If so, I'd provide a succinct, honed, 5-minute audio file.)

Wow, oh wow, oh wow!

Thanks Dennis.. I was feeling you brother. Seriously I was sitting here waiting for you to post something! A lot of synchronicity is taking place just now. I will be happy to post your video, downloading now. Please drop me a one or two paragraph bio.. to add to the description.

I love the animated whiteboard too..

Hugs..

I am honored, my friend.

I'll come up with a micro autobiographical sketch. I hope it's as good as Navin Johnson's, at the beginning of the Steve Martin movie, The Jerk.

Very good presentation Dennis. I liked what you had to say and you've prompted me to give your Reset Button Movement another look. Keep up the good work my friend.

Hello Avalonians,

There is a movement gathering strength on earth right now.. our voice is beckoned to join the chorus. WE are the voice and face of humanity. We have seen and moved out of the divide and conquer paradigm which is promoted and held in place by the "ruling" elite through us. We say NO LONGER IN OUR NAME!

Now our voices rise in a chorus of Freedom. Freedom can only exist where there is Love.

Project Avalon and its founder Bill Ryan have been pioneering, tip of spear, spiritual ground breakers and truth speakers. This friends, as those who have been on the front lines know, has taken courage, perseverance and focused intent. We were called and we answered and now we stand on the edge of infinity heralding a call so others may follow. Some have given up much to be able to hear the symphony, many have given up personal lives, others left behind financial security, and all have loosened the grip of the ego-centered-self so this entity has diminished enough to allow TRUE self, our unique identifying essence, to begin to flower again through us and on our beloved planet.

We all know that the TIME is NOW and at hand.. so as the facade of a false virtual reality crumbles it is time to make our PRESENCE known and our VOICES heard. There will be more push back, the internet and the big voices are may be silenced if we let them. Lets not let them.. all across the internet there is a movement… HUMANITY is revealing itself from the deepest part of each of us. Intricately twined through each of us is the reality of our Being as we reveal, like a piece of film that is developing so we can see that which we are.

Each story, unique and individual, is also our shared story for in each of us is a part KNOWN to all. Sharing our passion, our love, our support - nothing can stop that from happening.

Project Avalon was formed to promote freedom for all beings, an online community to support, inform, and activate movements of truth. In keeping with this concept the proposal is that the community of Avalon extend its reach through expressions of who we are. Bill gave me permission to start a YouTube channel -- The Faces of Avalon -- the idea is to give Avalon's members a platform to share their own journey, to interview someone they know that is making waves, to tell a story that sounds the bells of freedom or produce a video that inspires us to participate in a meaningful way in the rising tide of humanity.

TheFacesofAvalon channel is a place to share wisdom, a compassionate voice, a creative vision, knowledge from a field of study, by sharing and supporting we reach out in vibratory circles of resonance. The changes that are taking hold are the grassroots efforts we each of us are making in consciousness and in action.

I have uploaded several videos already.. and would love to hear from all who would like to participate.

Carpe diem!

With love,
Christine

Great idea Christine. The more people we can reach and get thinking about real issues and devising real solutions the better our chances are of making this planet a truly wonderful place for everyone.

Good morning! (Where is the smiley Skype sun when you need it?)

Just a short update..

The mundane duties and errands are insisting on my attention today. I just want to let everyone know that I will be uploading several videos by this evening/ night.

Thank you.. thank you and thank YOU!

Loved that stand by me

Thanks for putting my video and music up, if anyone has not seen it, worth a look, look out for the skeksis at the end

The skeksis are tall bipeds combining avian and reptilian features. They wear elaborate but threadbare robes of lace, velvet, and brocade which apparently keep the skeksis' constantly decomposing bodies intact and make them look larger and more intimidating. Their heads are beaked like a vulture's, while simultaneously sporting curved fangs. They have enlarged bellies and long reptilian tails, as well as curved quills on their backs. Like their urRu counterparts, they have two pairs of arms, whereof in the skeksis, only one pair is functional, the other atrophied. Despite their frail appearance, Skeskis are powerful creatures

The Skeksis are the corrupt rulers of the planet Thra, having inherited it from their benevolent UrSkek predecessors, and embody the knowledgeable, yet unrestrained aspects of the UrSkeks' behavior. The Skeksis culture favors repetitive flamboyance, emotional pettiness, and a wasteful attitude toward life. Though they are capable of alliances, none trusts the others and would immediately betray another out of self-preservation.

Good morning!

I have posted a short segment of a much longer talk I had with Bill. What I feel inclined to add is just how much of a challenge it is for me personally to put my face in front of the camera and speak to a larger audience.

As a friend just expressed to me which I can't underline enough is: "If I put myself out there, then I'm going to actually have to live the truths I espouse, and be fully present with my purpose! In other words, I can no longer fly under the radar as an obscure soul hidden in the Avalon archives where only a select few will ever read or find me."

My answer to that statement is We have been in a chrysalis state and I believe that the metamorphic transformative process is completing… time to stretch our wings!

It’s so nice to meet you, Christine. Beauty and grace pour out. Your spirit shines big, big, as it always does through your words.

From someone like myself who dislikes even a picture taken, I fully appreciate how you stepped beyond the comfort zone to make this video.

Love,
Paula xo

[Dennis Leahy]

It is so obvious that video (the audio within video goes without saying) is the most powerful means of communication - unless we can meet face-to-face. Even then, a video can be re-viewed and shared. Very powerful.

Wonderful to meet you, Christine! :~)

Dennis

[Kimberley]

Thank you Christine It was great to "see" you :-)

I will be doing my part to contribute. And I would like to offer my help to others that might need assistance to contribute to The Faces of Avalon.

Christine what program do you use to copy youtube vids? The program I used for a long time does not work for me any more...

Much love to us all!

[WhiteFeather]

And If i may, here's a short video that i had created/envisioned awhile back without my face on it, however it has my imprints on it with regards to Love, to Humanity, and with great Compassion to this awesome planet,,,, that IMO,,,,we will soon one day take back and make it a sacred/blessed place again, This I'm quite sure.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

So wonderful to meet the sweet spirits in motion and voice... not only of Christine but yourself too Dennis. A heart warming indelible reminder as to why I cherish being a member of Avalon.

The YouTube channel is a sure fire way to share all the good stuff we have in a thoroughly engaging way...

Bring on the Courageous, Paradigm Breaking Faces of Avalon!!!

Christine asked if I might record a short greeting -- and a note of genuine acknowledgement and appreciation. It was a pleasure. Here it is.

Thanks Christine, Bill, and everybody in putting in the initiative to do some positive action.

As for myself, I've been dreaming of a project for nearly a year now. I have been studying Tolkien's works for years, and I have been developing a detailed analysis of Tolkien's works, specifically the Lord of the Rings that correlate his works with our reality. The Lord of the Rings is a fictional account of the true history of humanity, and it is imperative for people to see this. Unfortunately, most people on this planet see it as science fiction and nothing more.

My goal is to create a video detailing Tolkien's allegorical associations so I can wake up as many people as possible. Because there are millions of Tolkien fans all across the world, I'm hoping that the video will be successful in creating a new spark in human awakening. It is a lofty goal, but I'm working very hard in putting the puzzle pieces together to do my part in the chronicles of human awakening.

It is going to be called:

Tolkien Decoded: Waking up in Middle Earth.

I have brushed this project aside for the last two months, but you have given me the encouragement and motivation to finally finish it. I want to make sure that I get this right...but I hope that it will be finished around October.

This will be my contribution to the Great Work...and I can't wait for everyone to see it when it's finished.

Hey great opening flute score Bill, would that be a Native Indian Piece by Renowned Flutist, Carlos Nakai? Sounds like him.

Thanks for the question. It was Erik the Flutemaker. Beautiful stuff.

Non sequitur: one longstanding member sent me a PM in concern that I seemed so breathless in my little video that they were worried that I might be ill. Not so! Here's the backstory...

I'm actually in the best physical shape I've been in for many years. When we made the little video, we had to duck down to a downwind slope to record it to get out of quite a strong wind -- which would have been a problem for the microphone. We were restricted for choice because of the scenic backdrop we wanted, and the angle of the sun.

The slope I was climbing was really quite steep... a lot steeper than it looked! Moreover, aware of the wind problem, I was holding the microphone rather too close to me, so the audio was distorted. When I got to editing it, I realized the quality wasn't very good at all... but I was comfortable with what I'd found myself saying to the camera (all spontaneously unscripted), so I left it at that. But maybe I should re-record it!
