Arcora you have made some wonderful points and I am so sorry to see you leave, it really is critical to maintain free thinking. I feel you can contribute much to this forum so that others just beginning their journey can research. They need a hand not something force fed them but a little bit of guidance. I understand and maybe wrongly that the Camelot forum will reopen possibly free where you may be of service to the new arrivals there as well as here if you should decide to stay.

I will not be staying when this goes subscription only, but I see why the need a web forum like anything else requires funding in order to operate. However, my priorities at this point in time is conserving what funds I have left in order to provide a zone for me, my family, and community. This is what is foremost in my mind which is changing who I am and interacting within my own community\environment.

I may not be in a radiant zone nor does it really matter for me I am being guided to stay until further notice, for me to disobey this guidance is not something I can do. If you are being guided "within" to go to a radiant zone then that is where you are needed and I do not disagree with zones I am all for them but everyone will not be able to live there. What matters most to me is doing for myself independent of very little outside assistance. Until we (community) change what is within ourselves that makes us value the "me" more than the "us" nothing substantial will change. The same caste system will develop that we have always had only with different players in the game.

How is a community or global system possible when we consistently time after time place "value" on people and things, this in effect devalues someone\something else. When a leader is "valued" more important than the follower, when the gold is of greater value than the crop are they not both equal in value and importance. Is not that professor of equal value to the maintenance person are they both not needed to perform a service. Is not that gold as equal to that seed in the ground. Who rates and judges these things or should they be at all is my question?

Who is worthy to determine who is of consideration to live and the quality of that life. Does not that person's own choices\judgement determine their path and should they not be equal in importance this should not be a system base that is filled with greed and corruption.

Until we take a second look at what we view as "value" what will change. Assigning value is this not what has occurred generation after generation with similar results. Does a person need to attain more than the next person and if that is so please tell me why? Does this person deserve security\protection over the next and if so why? This to me is where it begins and ends in value or so called importance.

Should we still strive to compete, covet, and accumulate "things" is this the old or the new we are creating. We are on a journey with many different pathways hopefully we will achieve something new and fulfilling for all humanity and not just for a select few.

Love & Peace
