I can understand a lot of these viewpoints. I could agree with all of them and I could go so far as to say that they are all correct, which in a way they are. They are all correct in so far as this is the reality we have made, this is the reality we prescribe to and this is the reality we have all our great sages sprouting.

As for propaganda.....2 wrongs do not make a right. I could care less for who sprouts what. Those pictures of deformed kids, does it matter whether or not Saddam was behind the publishing of them? Does that in and of itself make deformed babies "O.K."?

Where are we going? Are we to sit back while we wolf down our christmas dinners, our steam puddings and champagne opening presents and making merry while huge proportions of the earths population are starving, scrounging garbage tips, hiding in fear, drinking from cess pools fouled with feces, sleeping under cardboard for shelter and fearing for their very lives?

No, this isn't about a guilt trip and it isn't about making anyone feel bad about their non-lack. It is about truly awakening. This mantra, this "we are awakening" thing holds no credence I am afraid. Hey, someone has to tell everyone out there. At first I was rather miffed at Scarabs indulgent posting, the "dearly beloved" stuff but then I got to thinking.....you know what, this person is actually right (much as I hate to admit so) but taken from someone who has not been "on the inside" for a year or more the perspective must be weird. It would serve us well to look at what the newer members are saying and to not react (Zeddo NOT REACT !!! I am trying, believe me) Here we are, all lovey dovey but are we really addressing the real issues? Yes, it is good to have our huddles and to express our love but love without action is just words, after all. There is no substance to any statement that is not followed with action. Hence the title of this thread, "Inaction equals Complicity".

Okay, enough for tonight, I really don't want to put anyone on a bummer but we really need to stop looking for blame outside of ourselves. Isn't that what Avalon was started for, the birthing of a new paradigm? Perhaps not. Perhaps I am wrong, I must be. I don't see too much of that anymore here in Avalon.

I wished I could say merry christmas to you all, but really, I can't. I will say happy holidays and stay safe to everyone and their families however.
