Is there a pattern?

yes, the crisis pattern is revolving and continuous (never-ending for some)... and It is so wonderful to finally get some answers to all the questions we have been stewing about for a long time. That can have a huge impact on our outlook- it gives us hope for a better future, maybe even inspires some ideas on what we would be able to change by this action or that effort...
but I think, more importantly, that we need ask ourselves “What do we do with the information that we get?”
so my question is... Are we learning for the sake of just learning? Are we learning for the sake of cyber companionship? or is there a next step to go out and do something with that information... I mean- we all came here to find the truth because we were fed up with the way our lives were being manipulated and suppressed, and we all wanted to be able to do something about it, right?
so how has that really changed? Has escaping into a cyberworld of like-minded new friends done anything to really change our physical lives in our respective corners of the world? (and yes I am guilty of it too)... and how has that helped to get the word out to others in our own communities? I am realizing that not everyone has a computer available to them, and even if they did- they are probably still caught up in the gerbils’ wheel of trying to keep their lives from crashing into the ground... just like we were before we found this forum...
I would really like to hear about (and celebrate) peoples successes in getting the word out to their local communities (maybe start a dedicated thread)... I think that is the reason this site got started... to find the truth and then to pass that info on to others around us that we CAN reach. Everyone here on Avalon is desiring to gather together and join in a “Avalon real-world-community”, right? but everyone is so far away from each other- that it makes that desire virtually impossible (it is frustrating to me too, because there is no one around where I live that I can connect up with)... Alex Collier talked about the need for a grass roots (holographic) effort, right? How can we do that if we –each of us in our own areas – don’t even go out into the world that we live in to let people know about this stuff? I think that if we get the word out to the people around us- we would probably find that there are a lot more people who would want to start getting back to “community-supportiveness” – however that develops in each area- then we would have guessed.
