Dear Asteram... a response to your questions, posted publicly instead of privately as they pertain to this thread
"I have to say that so far I am very disappointed in Project Avalon....
I read the handbook as information about the changes to come and as an assignment to take an active role in writing a new script and creating a better world.
Another assignment was to come up with an idea that could be put into a phrase that would capture the imagination of people everywhere and inspire them to learn the universal laws and to seek the changes that are needed to create the New Paradigm, to grab the attention and focus of enough people to "tip the balance" of the collective consciousness."
Asteram, if you take an average, a mean, of a random sample of people from across the world, and plot these sample means on an XY coordinate you will find that they will produce a bell-shaped "normal" curve. This as you may know is called the Central Limit Theorem.
Basically, there is a wide stratification of beings on this planet. about 2/3 of all humanity falls in the bulk (68% within the first standard deviation from the mean and 95% within two standard deviations of the mean). So, simply put... it is impossible to "capture the imagination" and "inspire" people EVERYWHERE and that is no fault of the people here @ Project Avalon. It is the nature of the yin-yang polarity of Life, which is fundamentally balanced.
"Do you remember AIAB? Attraction, Intent, Allowance, Balance?"
Exactly, many people may not respond. So ALLOW them to Be. This is BALANCE.
"In this thread, I introduced the idea of a skilled group of adepts who could influence the collective consciousness in a direct way by focusing on a specific needed change such as the realization that all life on Earth is one, and all of humanity is one"
This skilled group of Adepts is already active and has been for a very long time.
"As for the first assignment, that of finding a purpose and creating a new script or contribution, I did that assignment; spent nine years working on it... Does this seem strange to you? Out of all of the thousands of people who read and post on this site did anyone else take the assignment seriously and do something?"
I am a graduate student at one of the top 50 research universities in the USA (both private and public included). I am working on development economics based on compassionate capitalism and sustainable development. You may call it creating Harmony through Conflict which the current neoliberal economic paradigm has done by awakening many people. So yes, there are many people out there consciously working to birth the new age, some are adepts, some are not, but we do not care about rank and file. Let our brothers and sisters work in whatever capacity they may know. For blessings are upon them that work the GoodWill.
"What is the intent of this forum anyway? What is it attracting? One attracts what one focuses on, correct? Like attracts like is one part of that law; the corollary is that you draw to you what you fear. So what is the collective at Project Avalon drawing to itself? Alien abductions? Volcanoes? Mile high tsunamis?"
What are you attracting? Mindful of others imbalances? Let the fear mongers have their fear. They awaken through it, but cherish and protect your own inner Harmony and Balance lest you stumble and fall.
"I am sometimes a musician and writer, and surely there are others here. I was going to suggest that perhaps we could put together a carefully constructed tune, one designed to be "catchy" and stick in the mind; that we consider writing a song with a message."
I applaud your efforts. Begin work on it. Others will follow. Check out the compositions of the Master Peter Deunov. He was a composer and a violinist.
"I was also hoping to go further into the idea of assembling that focused crew of adepts, find out who is qualified and willing to make the attempt at directly influencing the Genetic Mind if such a thing is possible."
This focused crew of adepts is already assembled. Communication is not necessarily carried out on the physical plane but through the collective Spirit of Love... that which we call Christ.
"Is anyone else here aware that the Earth and solar system's closest alignment to the galactic center already happened ten years ago in 1998 and not in 2012? And that no one fried from massive gamma-ray bombardment?"
The data on the 1998 passing through the Galactic Plane is a contested data. There have been numerous other studies charting the location of the earth in relation to the galactic plane ranging anywhere from 10-35 light years above this "dark rift". Given the wide variation in earth's location relative to the Dark Rift in space/time, I suspect the best bet is to rely upon one's intuition.
"This planet is already beautiful and perfect, and many of the works of mankind only add to that beauty. The only flaws are in the consciousness of humanity. Those are the ONLY flaws."
Consciousness is fundamentally pure. The Mind is fundamentally at rest. Do you blame a child for acting childish and not immediately growing up? Spiritual evolution is a process. IT SHALL TAKE ALL ETERNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE VASTNESS OF LOVE/BEINGNESS.
A beautiful wine does not age overnight. I understand your frustration but its largely due to an unrealistic temporal horizon which you have thrust upon yourself. Many are the adepts that work tirelessly and patiently with humanity. Long-suffering, gentleness and goodness are the angelic traits.
"Are there some real and concrete actions we can begin now that will minimize any harm coming to the planet, that will begin to change the consciousness, that will lay the solid foundations for the new world that is coming?"
A soul is like the lily in the pond. the roots in the muck and the flower slowly ascending through the murky astral waters until it blossoms into the light of day and releases its rarefied fragrance into the air.
Do not go to kindergarten and scold the children for not acting like adults. Nurture their positive traits.
