On the other hand it WAS an important learning experience for me.

When the forum first opened there was a real optimism about the place, a real feelgood factor. That seemed to evaporate as soon as parts were locked down, and I don't think it's ever really come back. This isn't intended as criticism, just an observation. Since then the general feel of the board has gone down, and a lot more distrust has filtered in. For all the talk of forming communities and meeting face to face it just isn't happening, at least not in my area. I tried to take the first step of setting up an email list for the East Midlands and only got two names.

I've been thinking about this a lot and come to the conclusion that I already have my ground crew. They are people I already know, who have varying degrees of knowledge about what's happening and I would trust any of them with my life. More importantly it's made me realise that the first person I need to rely on is me.

I don't know what is coming or when, but if I'm not spiritually 'right' when it does then my chances are slim to zero. What will be, will be, and I'll either survive by being in the right place with the right people or I'll climb out of this 3D spacesuit and explore what comes next (again.) To me the most important preparation is spiritual because it's the ONLY thing I can work on that is guaranteed to serve me well when and if the **** hits the fan.

So now I visit less frequently and say less while I'm here. As others have said, I also find my thoughts are usually posted already and since I've taken a step back I've cancelled many posts that would fall into the category of ego-based. That's much better for all concerned.

Blessings to all
Excellent Post.

I check this site several times a day, rarely post.

I am a father of three small kids, I have their best interest at heart first. I want to be in the know, but I also want to have ignorance is bliss.

PC started attaching dates to things, and some of them started coming true, the credibility factor increased big time. This website had these ground crew guys posting like St. Claire and Henry Deacon and John Lear and then they all dissapeared. I have to seek these guys out on other forums, but the energy was defintely zapped from the lockdown. Noone of us like to see censorship even if it had its reasons.

Even Bill and Kerry disappeared for weeks no one hearing from them, their website floundering.

This in the middle of some very dire predictions that came in through some of their key folks, visions of doom and gloom, Miriam and company.

The initial set of predictions came true, we were all waiting as Elvis Costello puts it on the excellent My Aim is True album "Waiting for the end of the world", or Graham Parker off the * * * * * album "squeezing out sparks" we are "waiting for the ufos".

I don't know what we are waiting for to be honest. I do know that things are screwed up, and people of this planet are kind of nuts.

Then I also know that there are a lot of us, right here right now with huge purpose. We are the beacon of light in the darkest moments before the dawn.

I have very little to offer in posting other than good vibrations, but I will keep coming here hoping that someone "in the know" validated by the trustworthy Bill and Kerry and friends maybe give us a heads up that we needed as they did before this sept/oct economic crash.

That's only money, the heads up we all need is saving lives.

This is a very small community, and I hope people keep posting, keep valdiating and keep their BS meters on full activation so we can all help each other detect the **** from the **** hitting the fan.
