    It is frequently observable that one who trashes another is saying more about themselves. Observation of such can be invaluable when estimating the character of another, but likewise it can be beneficial to recognize when another is speaking from hurt feelings as opposed to venomous slander.

    I’ve read comments over the other forum. There have been character assassinations about Avalon members from a couple of members to administration.

    Not by me. To the best of my knowledge I have never offered negative comments regarding Bill, the mods or Avalon as a whole.

    It is an interesting point in which to sit, the now. Watching buttons be pushed. Deciding each for ourselves what is right, what is true. Each from our own level of understanding, separateness yet oneness, when to object or join the choir. Though "when" reinforces other moments and not this now. Each from our level of awareness, emotional detachment or maturity, and each from our individualized experience, we make choices. Interesting study in ego.
    Nice

    Quote Posted by ulli (here)

    How come there is still confusion about what an Internet forum is, and who the true owners are, especially if the forum is moderated.

    ....

    Avalon is Bill Ryan, and all that is needed is a little respect for the man. Anyone who has issues with that should go and start their own forum.

    Again ... to the best of my knowledge I have never shown lack of respect for Bill, the mods or PA in general.

    The first group to splinter off ... the mods ... and start another forum ... I could understand why that would cause bad feelings. I joined and hated it ... tried to leave and was told I could not.

    I am still confused about why this other forum has come to harbor such feelings. Appears to be a whole lot of previous PA members banned (rightly or wrongly) but I have always viewed it as brothers and sisters who have great similarities and belief systems who should be aligned.

    Why must we always fall for the divide and conquer meme ... have we learned nothing?

    Hmmm ...

    Moderation requested I not directly link to another forum ... and I have done my very best to honor such a request.
    Oh dear, another report.

    You can do better Calz. Given the history between TOT and Avalon, Cross posting TOT materials on Avalon makes the above statement re your "effort" to honor such a request meaningless.

    Rather, you come off like a mouthpiece of Modwiz.

    Attachment 28796

    Modwiz does not require Avalon to do his thing.

    Bill, and the moderation team do not want Modwiz to do his thing on Avalon.

    People can join TOT if they wish to visit with Modwiz.

    People can visit Modwiz's youtube channel.

    This is not rocket science. We're a smart bunch of adults here. Supposedly.

    Sierra

    When a few words or a sentence is parsed off it often can be taken out of context.

    What you quoted from me was without the deleted posts prior which would have added context.


    I did *not* quote any text or link anything from another forum.

    I posted a video available on a youtube channel and added my own words.

    My sentence was in reply to a request for more information.


    My ***intention*** was quite positive. Someone who (rightly or wrongly) was requesting help with psychic attacks due to what they (allegedly) were doing to try to help humanity at this time.

    That was the space I was coming from.

    The village has always been a place of great healing and compassion.



    Now ... having said all that (in reverse order sequentially ... perhaps due to Mercury Retro) ...


    I am very sorry to have been the unwitting fool to cause such a remarkably negative occurrence in this thread.

    Wow ...

    Sierra ... I have been here (and now) about 4 years now. I would think you know me well enough to know I mean no harm.

    Perhaps I am not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree ... but I have a loving and trusting heart.


    I *really* *truly* meant well.


    I have lost all certainty about what *anyone* posts regarding the true nature of reality ... but I have continued to keep an open mind.


    Myself ... I am equally aware of a blog first brought to my attention from a Paul thread:

    http://redefininggod.com

    Blogger lays out a strong argument that the whole BRICS and East/West conflict is what has actually been planned long ago by the illooney naughties and we are being duped yet again.

    ... but I hold out hope.

    I am not ready to surrender my energy to such.


    Anyway ... apologies to the thread and forum for the unintended distruption.

    No excuse needed Calz, Ulli was speaking in general terms, and in a general context, it makes sense. You were not targetted, I am sure. Leave the reactivity aside and everything will be fine.

    OH... and thank you for the video you posted on my demand, it was truly informative, even if I did not personnally agree with the content, I found it utterly interesting, mostly in view of what Ben Fulford and others bring out about the Red Dragon family.

    You're a stand up guy, Cal. And I'd list others as well, but don't want to leave anyone out.

    I think sometimes people need a reason to move in another direction so they invent slights by others to make a smoother transition to the unknown territory. Some even forget it's okay to let it go. Live the chosen decision. Drop the damn habit of cattiness.

    heh! Friend pointed out that last post was my lucky number...reminded me of this (that Calz shared with me):



    Thanks for the perspective amesyth, I get triggered when I feel like I'm getting generalized or lumped in with attackers (or any group)...I work real hard to make my intentions clear, and I try my best to be the Truth I want to see--I like to think we are all one, and we all can help each other heal--together.

    Here's one I seen Bob post somewhere's, kills me:

    This is an incredibly appropriate post for my situation at this precise point in time. Once again....

    I am just out of a job where I was clearly unhappy, but would have kept it out of fear and insecurities (financial ones), filled with the LAW, legal laws.

    I discovered (or already knew but was reminded) that those laws and those applying them are here to control, they are edicted, implemented and used for sheer control, more and more of it. Those doing the control are not even aware of what they are doing.

    And then corporate thinking adds up productivity to it where a human becomes a machine, applying laws.

    Thinking and changing some of its applications or giving its due to some people takes more time than not doing it, and productivity suffers. All in a vampiristic fashion. Yes, vampirised cows, it is how I felt. And freedom suffers or become basically non existent.

    Dead an mindless pump for others. Yes, exactly.

    You would not believe the feeling of relief since I quit that job. No security, but true relief.

    And the ones holding the control fortress are so threatened by little act of freedom that they will smash it not knowing what they have done. Out of fear from the more disorganised form of thinking/acting.

    The gap is so great between the average us and our galactic brothers, and the control gate keepers - the low levels unknowing shepperd dogs - on earth so set in their belief system, that yes, they would be destroyed to nothingness, and they do feel it.

    My question then is: are we going to hold in virtual jail (by just keeping the system as is) those who can reach freedom for those who cannot let go of control, and by stopping integration in the greater brotherhood? Where is the solution? Or are we going to accept a major crisis where most lose their mind?

    Morning relfections. Now got to run to do the $$ search in order to put food on the table and kiddie at College.


    I can sooo relate to your post, as I went through a similar situation a few years back. I remember one morning going off to work and thinking, Gee I work in a hell realm, wonderful. I knew I had to get out and I did with some work and got help from unforeseen forces and everyday and remind myself to be grateful that I don't do something I hate daily. Hopeful this money situation will change for me not soon enough, it is a slavery system like so much in this world it has to go sooner rather than later.

    I never meant you, Donk. I was thinking of former members who had been unsubscribed, but perhaps I had not made that clear enough.
    If you believe now that some of them have been healed and belong here again then perhaps you might suggest to them that they take it up with Bill directly, letting him know that now they see that they pushed one too many of his buttons in the past and if allowed to return will promise that they won't behave quite like that in the future.

    Thanks ulli, and apologies to you....like I said, I am sensitive when I see something that would make folks get a perspective of me completely opposite of my intent, and truly appreciate hearing clarification of yours...I know we are all responsible for our own reactions, which is why I always try my best to get mine out there at least.

    As to that particular topic, my actual action is to try to help THEM see the value in self reflection in hopes of guiding toward them healing, which we can help each other with but I found ultimately true healing is of yourself,for yourself...from within. I am met with as much (or more) resistance there....and see as much (and sometimes more, sometimes less) venom, misunderstanding, projecting, hurt feelings, and most especially DENIAL...there, as I do here (and everywhere else).

    So my intention, and actions, are self reflection. By example. It works for me. I can't help but project the value I have gained from it. My tagline here expresses it, the one I use there is the exact the same, but sounds kinda different: I BE the change I want to see.

    PS, semi unrelated: I am NOT on board the Dragons and any ambassadors, and I actually thinking about it HAVE attacked someone in a post, someone I actually admire in his stated intent, though just have a hard time buying into, and because the attack used by another cracks me up: Benjamin Full-of-s***-ford (I DON'T actually ATTACK him, perse, but I can see how referring to him as that could be taken that way--i totally don't resonate with his material). Sorry...i just cannot find value in that narrative...it's just me, and I absolutely LOVE the intent, as well as many fine folks that are into it/them...(so I'm sorry Ben, I can't help it! I am sure you can find a clever joke about my name!! I can take it)

    well put Paula. they do invent slights. ive always found it to be so bizarre.

    its like the misguided soldier who has been trained to kill, and damnit, he's gonna kill something if its the last thing he does - even if its not warranted. some people just fancy themselves rebellious, and when theres nothing to rebel against, they just make sh!t up. go out in a blaze of glory. that sort of thing. it embarrasses me when when i see it. because, aside from maybe the emotional type of courage it takes to be confessional on a forum at times, there isnt anything even remotely rebellious or courageous about posting words in an *anonymous* internet community. its so corny, that witnessing this type of behavior has at times actually made me shiver.

    poor Bill, and Ulli says it perfectly in one of her previous posts, he must be numb to it by now...but there must have been times when he was exasperated to the point of apoplectic fit. i recall the accusations of racism example that were brought up, and at the time i was fearful my facial features would be locked into the shape of a question mark for the rest of my life. i was so confused. its funny: sometimes when people are so wrong, you assume there must be some ingenious logic working there that you must be missing. but no, some people are really that dumb. its taken me a while to learn that one.

    regarding Calzy, he's one of the most guileless, sweetest, big-hearted people ive ever come across in this forum universe. if anything, hes been too kind, too neutral. ive only seen him lose his patience once, and it was justified...during that epic battle with whats her noodle. i see where Sierra is coming from; i can see how the wording there might have gotten in her craw a little...but its just a misunderstanding as far as i can see.

    the idiots will continue to come and go...and those that do will continue to sh!t on avalon and accuse poor Bill of everything from charlatanism to cannibalism, and it will continue to confuse and embarrass me...but what can you do? ignoring it seems the best tactic, as defending it can lower your IQ significantly (ie "he's not a cannibal! show me one post where he's fessed up to eating the internal organs of other humans!") the accusations are so absurd that dignifying them with a response just feeds the fire.

    oh well...

    As for the Dragons and any ambassadors, I’m in learning mode with the material. Taking it in slowly. I want food in the bellies and roof over the heads of every human being tout de suite. Too often I’ve allowed sentiment to get in the way of the larger picture. I'm mindful that a quick fix is me not wanting to watch any more pain.

    My inclination is the ‘We of Planet Earth’ need to fix what needs fixing and take out the trash. Put on our big folks pants. Otherwise, we’ll never experience what we’re capable of. It’s time that we step into the ‘Art that We Are’.

    Well, I am so grateful for the Village, I can't tell you how grateful I am. I hear you all. Your love, understanding, awareness, discernment, takes my breath.

    I have a fever, clotted lungs, balloon head, and an unending hacking cough, that feels like to break my ribs. This probably contributed to the shortness, and rudeness (poor Gio), some of you saw in my PMs. I am so sorry.

    For the ten PMs I have not yet answered, I apologize, I will get back to you. When I have a brain again. When I am Higher and Bester.

    And thank you so much for the kind PMs I received from Dan, Flash, and Calz reaching out in understanding, for understanding, wanting understanding. You heal my heart.

    Love, love, love, Sierra

    Finished dinner. Finished dancing. I can dance again after all the horrible stuff that's been pouring over the world. And the realities - a thousand of them, all possibilities, true, or not true...It's a long stairs down and the bottom may very well never appear. So then, in Stromae's language, we danced. People give very powerful messages with their bodies, dancing, too bad the overall current meaning narrowed to blunt seduction. One should try to see matter in relation to its actual movement rather than matter in relation to...fiction. It's an interesting thing.

    Okay what else.
    That long series of strikes that ended right before Christmas last year. Well, the labour unions have now concluded their talks with the employers, with mixed success (the unions were left divided at the end), so we'll see where that goes. To strike again or to not strike again.

    Strange enough, after Charlie Hebdo, a lot has been happening, not (so much) in France but in Belgium. Not a day goes by without at least two bomb alarms and perhaps a suspicious bag hanging here and there. "The news" (sorry, no source here) says that it is just our imagination and that because we are more aware of terrorism, we are also paying more attention to anomalies, thus spotting bags in strange places and reporting more bomb alarms (whereas before people did not call police in case of bomb threats?), and really, nothing has changed very much in that respect.

    Last-minute military/police/extra safety measures are installed or renewed, and still everyday new proposals pour in about what we could and should all do to be safe.

    A shocking recent event about a local high school that reported two of its students to the police because their teachers had been roaming these students' FB pages and found that they expressed is-sympathies. Apparently, the school already had made an agreement for such cooperation with the police (or the other way around) before the event. What followed was a heated debate about the right to privacy here, but the mayor of the city rushed to side with the school and said that checking students' FB profiles is a healthy form of social control (sic).And the internet is being watched not only by teachers, of course.

    Some other mayors think it's a good idea to keep the soldiers in the streets, especially for the jewish minority (other minorities are not happy because they are not getting protection, feeling unsafe as well). Some people say it's a budgetting thing (apparently soldiers are cheaper than police officers for these matters). And at first, the soldiers were proud to show the citizens how they work (normally they can't show us because they're stationed in a faraway country) but now that the comparison between police officers was repeatedly made, the soldiers would like a raise.

    The self-employed are seeing less customers where soldiers flank their shops, so they have mixed feelings.

    And the jobless should stop enjoying unlimited wellfare benefits. The statement that went along with this proposal probably did it. It was to the effect of: if they don't have it falling from the sky, they should be employed soon enough.
    In addition, all wellfare bureaus are going to be closed by 2019. I think people will just be referred to the city council, since no mention was made of an alternative body. Or, how to efficiently help the poor. Of course, one must first acknowledge poverty, and that's becoming more and more of a difficult job for some politicians. Not that they put much effort to it anyway. And when they do, they get these really crazy ideas like: should we have separate daycare (segments) for children from poor backgrounds.
    In full: children from working families get priority in subsidised daycare, other solutions can be found for children from parents who are not contributing to the economy. (Oh, boy, the full version sounds even more awful).

    Yes, it's all going very fast now.

    The country has also received a letter from is/was, saying they're on their way. I wonder what we should do with that message? Someone asked me this week, which bus are they taking? That's the spirit. Why cry, if you can laugh. Or dance, for that matter:
