Re: Are people losing interest?
on a fundamental level, there is nothing special going on here. avalon is just another online funhouse to study spirituality 101 on the web, complete with all the bizarre mirrors and smoke, poor lighting and uneven floors.
avalon might as well be a church... any church... with its varied participants indoctrinating your average undeveloped american mind to its set of "guidelines for awakening".
many of you simply traded the beliefs from your childhood religions for those available here in the forum - (and have yet to realize that it's just more junk food gathered from the unhealthy minds of others....spoiled entirely of truth).
in time, (years for most people), you come to see ...that in blindly adopting the belief system of others is just more of the same unconscious living... there's nothing "awake" about absorbing the beliefs of others at all.... and it is not going to change the world.
watch and see.
why? because most of you have simply jumped ship, and are now on the other side with equal fervor as before, but you're unknowingly polarized to the same ideas you were prior. you are cemented in time, unable to affect change, because you're anchored in beliefs that are greatly limited by your footing.
---------
young people....
most of you have only begun to uncover many of the subjects here. what you don't realize is that some of us have been exploring these concepts for decades, many of us having done so online from the first few months the internet came into existence. we have hashed and rehashed the same words here in the forums to where they no longer have meaning for us. they hold no power.... because we know truth is greater than any concept in the mental body.
(remember all concepts/thoughts appear and then disappear in the mental body. at some point, you need to move from being a spiritual seeker, to being a "finder". and when you make that transition - you'll find that you are the space that allows all thoughts/concepts to appear and disappear within the mental body, rather than any thought you think during the breath).
most here at avalon continue to look for the same kind of change that the christians have, someone - anyone - a teacher - a guru - a whistleblower - an ET - some thread of truth from somewhere to lead you with its guidance and prophecy along the way to a NEW WORLD... rather than stepping into the authentic shoes of your life and putting all this b.s. aside and becoming the vision of peace TODAY. (you are the hundredth monkey, here and NOW).
very few of us are strong enough to embark on a solo journey here... but for those who are... and do...at some point you will graduate from identifying with thoughts, and leave all this spirituality 101 chit chat behind. this event happens naturally... as a plant or tree naturally reach upward into the light of the sun pushing free of mud and rock. once you have reconciled the extremes within your own personality, (and again - that will happen when you have allowed all opposites to stand as One source of energy), without preferring any one over the other - you will find no need to talk or ponder 99% of the language here any longer. nor will you need to scan all the threads.... but rather, you'll know when and where to smile... and then be on your way.
--------
perhaps the turning point for most spiritual seekers... where you've been entirely focused on motion and the movements of mind.... in time you will find yourself encouraged to notice what never moves, and what has never moved in all of time. and that is when the journey of awakening really begins. up to this point, and far beyond for many of us, very few will have the courage and intelligence to enter this rabbit hole. awakening is about recognizing the limits of the mind, and tracing the origin of its light. for those of us who know this... we have no need of validation from others around the truth. it can't be validated as such. and any debating of it as such is futile to those who know it can't be held in a thought.
for those who say i can't comprehend this, that's exactly right. unconditional love cannot be thought, that's why all the great teachers throughout history pointed to the heart. it's not in the head. and for those of us who live and identify solely as the head ---- they have no chance of ever waking.
i wish you each a most peaceful unraveling.... knowing that if even one thing were off course in the universe, if just one thing were "out of place" in our lives, the entire universe would collapse like a row of dominoes; you can't ever truly be lost in the body of creation.
my participation in this thread has now ended. if you have a message for me, know that i will hear you telepathically.
warm regards,
sincerely,
ET
