Important Decisions
 
Hello all.
I have something bugging me for a while and thought i would share it a get your opinions .

If you knew of something happening in the very near future which involved some life changing event for humanity, and your mission was to wake up and save as many people as possible, would you abandon your family if they did not believe you and save the greater amount of people that you could ?????

Lets say for example that you knew you should be moving to higher ground, say the mountains, at least 300 feet plus. And currently you were living on the coastal plane. Your family does not want to make the move for various reasons say, boyfriends/girlfriends, work, family etc.

What would you do?

Re: Important Decisions
 
Hi Henners, that is a heavy discion to make.

Ultimately, if this is based on you, you alone must choose. That is just the way it is.

If it were myself, my 1st call would be to look into the info. How do I know that the info. I have about an upcoming event that hasnt happened is FACT?
If it transpires that this info. is 100% water tight, then I would feel I must inform every single person I could.
Even if that meant splitting my family and I'll explain why.:sad:
If this info. had been passed to me, it would have been for a reason. If that reason was to inform and potentially save as many as possible then it must be done. Sometimes self sacrifice is requiered even if un-desired.:wink2:

Remeber - know matter what you decide, you were always going to make that choice.
Good luck my friend :thumb_yello:

Re: Important Decisions
 
Thank you for this thread Henners.

I have been going through the same problem. I have a place to go it is already established but if I don't leave fairly soon, it may not be there for me.

Now I am faced with leaving my young adults, daughter will be in college, son works in Florida, husband and extended family, to live many states away in the Pacific Northwest.
Being far away from my kids is the hardest thing I could ever do.

I have been back and forth thinking I am selfish for leaving, to thinking this is what I came here for my evolution and to help the evolution of the planet with the spiritually conscious group I have aligned myself with.

I keep praying I will get a message or sign that it is ok to go, but that has not happened or maybe I am not hearing them.

I wish I could give you some insight but I am in the same place as you. I daresay many are faced with, or will be facing the very same scenario.

I think it is a decision that must be felt very deeply in order to let go of the world that one is familiar with.

I pray we both find clarity and meaning of purpose

In Love & Light always

Re: Important Decisions
 
Hello Henners,

First, I send you much love and peace for no matter what we are eternal and nothing can change my destiny no matter where I am, and I feel the same for you. I do think this situation is coming upon many and for each it is a separate decision. There is no right or wrong in this answer.

I would spend much time in prayer and meditation for this choice. I would seek divine guidance and follow that. For me, I have 4 children ages 10 to 16. I cannot leave them if I felt called elsewhere. I believe sacred covenants are just as important and would not abandon my partner either. I would ask that the divine work within my partner, friends, and family to move them to the right decisions as well.

My partner is on the same track as me so it is not difficult there. We have been making what preparations we have felt led to do, and I am slowly trying to prepare my children for the changes I see coming. For several years now, our daily word is "Love". I ask them to ask themselves if whatever they are doing is based on love. If it is not, then it is not important, needed, or profitable for their spirit and life.

It is a daily mantra within my home, sometimes moment to moment (soft smile). I would not do anything of life changing significance without a deeply felt peace over the decision.

I will also add that while I don't like Pauline scriptures, I do understand all the more why he wrote that it is better to remain single and not marry (thus not have children) for in these days making those decisions would be so much easier if one were single. Another scripture likewise that touches me to send love and peace to all those who are nursing or with very small children to be cared for as well.

May you know the direction clearly that you must take, and I look forward to meeting you and everyone else I have grown to love here on Avalon when the time comes.

Re: Important Decisions
 
Henners,

Good to see you back. Here are several thoughts, for what they're worth.

First of all, getting people to wake up is not an easy thing. You can pass along information, but that's not very effective. It's more important to share personal experiences, but that depends on establishing some sort of relationship where out of the ordinary experiences can be shared and accepted. Although some seem to be on a path of "waking up the masses", I think most of us need to approach it on a more personal level.

Don't give up on your family so easily. When I started on this path, I was very concerned my wife and I would grow apart. My wife now shares ufo contact experiences with me, though she's still working out the spiritual implications of unbounded mind - not easy for a lifelong atheist. She outshines most people I know in many, many ways. I have much to learn from her.

Get in touch with you higher self as best you can, follow your intuition, follow your heart, not your head. Make the decision out of love, not out of fear.

Personally, if the world is pretty much destroyed and everything turns to chaos, I'm not so sure "surviving" is what I want to do. My focus is on spiritual growth and being ready to help pick up the pieces if I happen to still be around. There's a massive awakening going on and the future is still ours to change. Be prepared for good things to happen.

Henners,

I would start slowly, move items to the NEW secure location....
If they follow sooo be it, if they decide to stay, so be it...
Youu Have things to do.... To prepare. At the NEW location.

Tell them where the New location is and why.........

Some feel tied to highly known Earth Quake area's and will not leave....

Some live in coastal area's knowing Sea Level will increase by 800 ft......

I ve seen what the East coast is going to look like... Flooded, so be it
people don t listen anyway...

And, some live in major metro areas where people willl be intentionally
starved to death....

This is why the PTB will NOT be warning any of any upcoming events
the people will not listen. Anyway.

Re: Important Decisions
 
Hi Henry,

I understand your point, as I have the same dilemma!
I tried (and keep doing it) to share all the available information with my friends and family, and promote some small meetings to discuss these things... and most of the time I realize that people don't care, or don't want to care about it.

Some of my friends accepted the information, but also said that they weren't changing nothing in their lives. They preferred to keep it that way. "What ever will be, will be!"

Of the many people whom I've shared information, only four (4) are really doing something to prepare for the times to come!

I think we have to accept that people have the right to choose their own path, even if we're talking about close family.
We've done our part, now it's up to them to decide what to do.

Hope is the last thing to die, so I'll keep trying to wake people.

Love and Respect

Gemeos

Re: Important Decisions
 
You put forth your best effort and if they still don't listen you have to let them make their own decision, that is love. It's not easy but their freedom is just as important to them as yours is.

You always work towards the greater good and bring as many followers as you can with you. It's a heartwrenching decision but to let others (even your family/loved ones) prevent you from your task is failure to act on the information you have.

You can only hope that when they see you go they will wake up and understand that something beyond their understanding is happening and follow.

Re: Important Decisions
 
I hear you Henners and if you feel the need to go do it, If you have a good idea of the date plan a trip if there are kids involved with out the wife . Then call her when you are where you want to be and tell her to come get u and and the kids as the car broke down that gets your family out of there . In the mean time tell any one willing to listen that now is the time to go take what you need and go, don`t worry about the house or debt . if something is coming that will threaten those they will be the least of your worries .

If those that you care for do not wish to go then remember free will we all get to choose and hard as it seems and thru no failings of our own there are times we need to let go . In the end we all return to source so you will see them again down the road

Re: Important Decisions
 
We all have our own path, and you must follow the one that is right for you. You have to respect the beliefs of others, and your beliefs as well. When you consider that this 3D illusion that we live in is not our ultimate reality, it helps a bit.

pyrangello 07-09-2009 05:42 PM

Re: Important Decisions
 
Henners, I have started conversations direct and non-direct by asking a question as to why, to create a dialog, there are those that are on board and are on the same page as you , and those who say maybe and those who dismiss you as nuts.

It's really a fascinating observation of us as a people, family and friends.And then you will have a conversation with someone, a total stranger and your blown away because they know too and it's such an easy dialog. You just give it your best to try to explain and either they grasp or they don't.I think after you have tried multiple times you realize more and more that you need to focus on one issue. One of the Avalon family members said create your own light, worry about yourself and the ones who were made to go will follow your light.

That is the course I am moving towards, I've thrown the fishing line out there to many, gotten extremely frustrated becuase firends and family dismiss my thought process , now I am full force focusing on what I can do for myself and for those who will follow when the time comes.

If you know that you have made a valiant effort, that is all you can do for the here on earth situation. Be proud because you did what you could and did indeed make the leap forward . Stay away from fear, it doesn't exist, just focus moving forward, pray, free your mind, light, love. All the important things that matter. Will all be togther one day again, here or there.

Re: Important Decisions
 
Hi Henners, This is what I would do, cos I was faced with the same predicament (as I would say so are a lot of people on this forum). Make your plans, aquire the property/place of high ground/safety. Envision it all in your consciousness first and your God will start filling in the details for you. Maybe make it a spare weekend holiday venture initially. This is maybe how you could sell the idea to the naysayers initially. Its important to hold the vision clearly and build it in your mind in all its detail. "See" it happening and "see" yourself and your family there. The "future/now" With your intention of all of your family being safe the vision will come to fruition in miraculous ways. Its important to surrender the details to your God within, your higher self and to have no fear. To be kind of nonchalent about it. Your personality self does the envisioning and holds it but it does not have the power to make it happen. That is what comes from the power of the Great God, the Great Spirit within us.

When things go down and everything is in turmoil you will be prepared and your family will be very greatful for your forsight. If not, as hard as that is, you must let them go. Afterall they are Gods to, with there own freewill

Love and Light

Carmen

Best Greetings

AS mentioned before, you need to inquire - how close to the Truth is the probability of any certain event?

Is this a Prophecy, or is it a Prediction; there is a difference. A Prophecy is subject to change if actions are taken to alter it's course or outcome, such as a Prophecy for a Third World War. The WWIII can be averted when a 'critical-mass' of Humans work to change the underlying factors. The Prophecy will have been changed in this example. IF the course of events, causes, &c are not altered, the Prophecy then becomes a Prediction.

A Prediction relates to events which cannot be changed, and has a 100-percent probability. If based in Predictions, is the Source reliable, with an accurate "track-record" of previous Predictions? Consider - if NASA finds an Earth-crossing Asteroid will intersect Earth very soon, to impact at X-Latitude and Y-Longitude, based on multiple observations, backed up by several Super-Computers precision calculations, this will fall into the class of Predictions.

What is the source of this information, the difference being between a very strong Impulse or Intuition which has come as a burning message into your own Consciousness, or from another person? If the message has come to you, you may always ask the source (your Psychic senses, from your own Logical Reasoning, from a Celestial Messenger, from a Dream, &c) to be very clear as to the meaning. Pay attention to your emotional state, to your feelings, when considering the meaning. Flat and Dull Feelings associated with this information means it is most likely False.

You must have absolute reliability in the information, any original source should rightly give this assurance. Do any other Humans share in receipt of this information? This would be the 'kicker' for me, if such information is reinforced from additional sources, from other people independently.

Then, to your question: What to do with the information? Get the word out in as many ways as possible, backed up with all possible evidence and Logical reasoning, and prepare yourself to take action. Concerning the loved Ones, if they choose to follow your actions, all is good. If they choose not to "believe" &c, MY choice would be to stay with them through the end. I would not abandon those I truly Love. Your choice is your alone to make.

Truth must come before Peace.

Re: Important Decisions
 
This issue isn’t that new for me. The idea of leaving all behind for a higher purpose popped up in my head few months ago, and I knew I had to bring this down to my heart and see what will happen.

You should know that I already did this once, 16 years ago. I moved 2.000 km away from home and leaved all and everything, really everything behind. And for a long time, I didn’t know the real purpose...

Now, I knew this time it’s a completely another situation. The “new situation” is my children. Believe me, and I know that for the one among you who also have children, it’s the same situation, this is a kind of war inside your heart that you’ll never win.

Nevertheless, after some weeks I came to the following conclusion: no need to worry.

Why???

It’s simple. Firstly, I live by the principle of “never live your life hypothetically”!!
I mean, there are so many paths to take, so many decisions to make every second, why worry about one particular thing, which may not occur at all?

So what I did in this particular case is, I let go of all my concerns...I’ve been guided so well so far in my life, that I completely trust the guidance...no matter where and when, I know the current path is the perfect one for me under the present circumstances.

I know that, if I’m really “one of the chosen”, that there will come another circumstances and another situations in my life which will allow me to make the “right” decision. Right for me, but also for all other, especially for my children.

I don’t know what that decision would look like...to be honest, I don’t want to know at all. I’ll take it as it is, in that one particular moment of my existence!

Nope. Besides, I think that my family will be fine in the grand scheme of things. I know that my father is partially-aware and he carries a lot of influence in my family.

I am no longer worried about them.

I'm not sure about who i could help if (and a big IF, since I don't think it will happen) when the time comes, I'll be ready.,

Re: Important Decisions
 
It wouldn't be a numbers game for me. I would save my family. If they didn't believe the threat I knew, I'd prepare anyway, kind of secretly. I'd have the plan, the cache, the place, the route. I'd do my best to alert anybody and everybody, when I saw it coming. That's about when they'd believe, I suppose.

No matter what, it's always good to be prepared for emergencies. I lost my home of 20 years in an unexpected storm. It can happen any time. The climate's mixed-up lately.

I do encourage people to think about it, all the time, kind of like first aid. I might not like using it, but it's good to know. Sh~t happens.

Re: Important Decisions
 
Henners, Hi!

I had a similar question, which I asked my teacher, during a lecture back in 2008. His response:

You make up your mind (for you) and let (them) make up their mind for them.

It was a "Changes" lecture in Miami and people right and left were being given the same answer. (And if there is one place you don't want to be in the upcoming scenario, it's probably on the coast in Florida). "My husband doesn't believe in this, what should I do?" "My adult children don't want to relocate, what should I do?"

My question was "what to do with my father, for whom I'm pretty much a primary caregiver, and who doesn't want to move, and also, will I have the money" to do it?

I was told, "you make up your mind, he will make up his."

So I did. I knew I had to relocate, so I went ahead and planned for that and then did. Dad stayed in Fla, came down with pneumonia 2 weeks after I left, ended up housebound for 6 weeks, and finally came to realize he needed to have someone take care of him. So, he decided to move up here to be near me. And also within 3 months of that meeting, I realized how I could arrange my finances to accomplish my other goals, what with the sale of my house and cashing in retirement.

As "selfish" as it seems, you need to take care of you first so there will be something there to take care of others.

FWIW, this is my experience.

Oooh, Oh Alyscat,

I can tell you, there is a PREDICTION for a MAJOR 9.0+ magnitude Earthquake to occur some 100--miles or so in the Seabed off the coast of Washington-Oregon, which will result in a catastrophic Tsunami along the entire coast there. Exactly WHEN is not given, but soon.



Tsunamis could reach 80 to 100 feet tall in Oregon

Re: Important Decisions
 
Hello all. Great responses from everybody. Some are closer to my situation than i want to admit.
The question is, What do i know?
If you listen to the experts, i know nothing. The sun will rise tomorrow, and the next day and so on. Life will continue as it has for the past 2000 years. Maybe we will pay more tax, the collapse of some economies etc. But, the sun will still rise tomorrow.

If you listen to the inner voice, something is happening. There is a mass awakening. We all feel it. All those here in Avalon know about it. I have been priviledged to have met some wonderful people this year that have given me a heads up about 'certain' subjects. If you remember a few months ago, i started a thread about the "gateway to the source".
http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=13358

This gateway, is being used by some people to 'channel' enlightened beings (from the light) information and knowledge about "life". Some of this information is about the next few years. And some of this information is also being relayed by others in the know. State Emergency Workers, rescue workers etc.

I can see some of you saying, "no not another Blossom Goodchild", but if i tell you, Trust me, this is genuine, i have been privilidged to certain info that hit home with me.

Somehow, TPTB know something is going to happen in the next few years, and friends of mine have overheard these people discussing what measures they have taken to be "safe" when the big wave comes. Others i know that have 'certain' abilities have had dreams in great detail, depicting three very large waves hitting the east coast of Australia, as well as the rest of the world. Waves of 300 feet at least.

You may or may not believe me, but some of you 'feel' something is going to happen. I do not wish to be an alarmist, or to panic anyone. All i want is for people to have the option to the knowledge of what may happen.

This is some of the info i know. My original question still stands. What would you do? I hope this explains my dilemma. :sweatdrop:

i just checked out Maitreya (Benjamin Creme), the video you suggested...i'm a bit skeptical bec. we humans are the ones who should solve our problems, not an angelic avatar...sounds a bit fishy to me. according to barbara marciniak there will be a false prophet that will unite all and seem to "save" humanity.

would be great if what he says is true, but it just sounds "too good to be true".

i don't doubt your experience though...

Hello Dolphin...I must say that basicly, this is true. It's about us and we should handle it all alone...SHOULD...Nevertheless, the present situation of the humanity is not what I would describe as advanced (advanced in the matter of being able to solve our problems on our own :wall:)

Few days ago I posted (on the nexus thread) my sincere opinion about this...WE, the humanity, and our present state of mind (on a global view), are not cappable any more of continuing this life as we know it...we need some extraordinary changes, and we're unfortunately NOT able or don't want to change...so we need help...we need some really big changes, and I mean really BIG changes...we need advanced abillities and the only way to get them is by an "angelic" (or you name it) help...

Re: Important Decisions
 
Just my thoughts ..but for me...nothing is set in stone...meaning that all that is being predicted is not "100% water tight" as someone said. However the more we focus our thoughts, energy , our intention , into such negative things..thinking about this or that is going to happen, the more likely they will happen in some form. Law of attraction. That doesn't mean that you should stop getting closer to earth gathering water, food , a self sustainable lifestyle, preparing yourself in positive ways spiritually & physically.....this has a way of manifesting positive in your physical day to day life.

Focus your energies on positive things , I say there is a lot around us to be positive about, but it seems most people want to focus on negative things around us. Its a choice.

As for trying to convince others like family & friends to go with you , I would my best to inform without harassing anyone & let them make their own decisions. If they choose to go then its in their path to do so . If they choose not to go..then well...it's just not their path. It doesn't mean its wrong or right its just that not everyones paths are alike. Just like some things "feel right" to you & other things do not. Same with everyone else. Follow your heart & listen to your intuition .

just my thoughts

Love & peace

" We are all participating in a grand activity of unifying here. There is only ONE here really.
The deepest hidden secret of the Tibetans that now comes into the open is:
« To transcend hope and fear » .

Fear :
What we fear most is death.You can’t die for you are immortal. Even if I die , it’s just another level of my endless existence.

Hope :
If you are hoping that these things are just no going to happen in the future, if you are hoping for this.., if you are hoping for that...

Let’s just get back to the emptiness of the Now, to that place where hope does not need to happen.
In this moment if you truly accept the power of your presence in the Now, that’s everything you need right now , and you can win the game.
You can reunite with the Creator.
And you can finish your great cycle of Evolution in the cosmos and be fully enlighted .
You can stay there and breathe .
Your true essence is light and love and no one can take this away from you."

Taken from David wilcock's interview with Bill and kerry.


These lines mirror the way I look at things..
It is the whole idea of running away from catastrophies or trying to prevent them that has to be transcended. And beyond this the entire field of dichotomies that make up our relation to this plane.
Staying grounded in one's heart ..in the NOW short circuits the dilemmas taking place in the field of the mind.
Just " KNOW " that there are no worries and you will have found your true nature.
Finding your true nature is the best way to serve the world and consciousness at large.
Within Love we can embrace all that is .
And you'll find yourself moving instantly from one plane to the next one .

Loving kindness

FWIW, this is my experience.

Hi Alys,

I understand what you are saying, and enjoy your posts. My situation is a bit different. I live in Tallahassee Florida which is almost in landlocked Georgia area. I am divorced and have 50/50 custody with my ex of our 4 children ages 10 to 16. I legally cannot leave the area with my children without permission from my ex. He used to be in tune to these events, but since we divorced he has seemed to want to avoid the political truths let alone the cosmic ones.

For my part, I am storing survival items, and planning my "escape" to some higher ground (it looks like Ashville NC area at this point but I am open to other places and/or communities) at the last minute so to speak. I don't think Tallahassee will be deluged, but I do think it will be a bottle neck place with many refugees starving and violent. Thus, I don't want to be here. I am thinking of all the logistics. I have looked at how to build fast earth berm homes, tools, forges, seeds, food, medical supplies, camping gear, clothing, educational material for future generations.

I guess my thoughts regarding your comments are that I wonder if you have small children and would you leave them to relocate now? For me, I am not sure how long we have, but I don't think the massive earth changes will happen for at least 2 to 4 years. If I see imminent things happening, I will grab em and run, but it would have to be catastrophic.

Oh, I'm happy to hear from other forum members on this as well. I know there are not right and wrong answers, but I do gain some peace from the thoughtful posters who are willing to share so often.

Thanks,

Unified Serenity

Re: Important Decisions
 
This is something I read awhile ago and WinterWolf was kind enough to post it to my visitor page to remind me. Perhaps it's appropriate to post in this thread and will help some with their decisions.:original:


"Wisdom of the Elders"
(Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation)

There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift, that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open,
and our heads above the water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

United Serenity - I do not have small children (other than my cats) - just my senile dad <G>.

I certainly understand your concern - I'm assuming you've looked into all your options and it looks to me like you HAVE made your decision - all our decisions are specific to us and our situations. And that's fine.

Just as an aside, I wonder if you could - for a while - let your husband take over the children while you go up to Asheville and start a 'vacation home' - (maybe with 100% custody for a while, he'd be happy to turn it all over to you with visiting rights LOL) - after all, 50/50 could mean 6months/6months. I dunno, don't know how the courts have set it up, and it's really none of my business.

Love to you....

For now, I am a bit fixed in what I am doing, but I am always open to ideas and possible opportunities. I can't see six months on n off working a. school b. I'd go crazy missing them, and I think they would feel the same.

He is a good father, and has an pretty good relationship with them which I highly value. I will keep my eyes open for options. I will pray that something comes up sooner that he desires to move as well. Here's the really odd thing, he remarried for about 8 years and recently divorced. His ex-wife is wonderful and we talk often. She sees the two youngest every week, and even keeps them often during my ex's time. I'd hate to take them away from her as well, so I am wanting everything my way ultimately that being us all moving together... talk about new families situations.. lol. So, I will put my desires out to the universe and let things happen. Ultimately, I trust I am where I am supposed to be each moment, but I like to plan ahead and do all I can once wisdom is spoken and I actually perceive it.

Thanks for the comments.
