The philosophy of the forum is:
• As stated by George Green in the Project Camelot interview Messages for the Ground Crew, there exist individuals and groups, all over the world, who have an important responsibility and role to play in the preservation of civilization regardless which scenarios may play out.

Hi again Steve,
I understand the purpose of Avalon isn't about supplying 'charity to Africa' .. I've mentioned such issues in a couple of posts, along with other examples of human suffering, as examples to highlight something I'm trying to express/share as being my understanding of some things which need to be done to reach the ultimate goal / ascension / survival of humanity/light against the Powers/dark ...
so I do think issues such as this ARE part of the overall picture, and feel they are essential to our evolution (spiritual, physical etc) and not just some "noble" or 'do-gooder' cause.. ... I've never raised these issues to act as some kind of 'undercover Charity Fundraiser' or to be "noble" (heaven knows I ain't!) ..... but because I feel they ARE part of the picture in which we all play a part... and are part of the possibe solution!
for me, the life/welfare/'equality of value' of every person/living soul on this planet is an essential part of our individual and global progression/ survival/ evolution/ responsiblity/ spiritual growth... and is exactly what the whole premise of spirituality/connectedness/survival of Earth/Humanity/Freedom is all about!
I guess to each of us, our own ideas of what is a "community" and "helping each other" is different. For me, personally, I see "community" or "civilization" as being the whole of humanity, the entire population of earth.. whether USA, Europe, Australasia, Africa, Asia... we are all connected and responsible somehow, for what happens here and now, as well as in the future...
Steve, with respect, I do understand what Avalon is for. That's why I came here.. as I felt it was the only place I could freely discuss the issues that I'm interested in, and also been having some personal experiences in, and I wanted to learn and to share!
"To support aware individuals in networking and forming groups as they wish"... that's exactly why i came here... especially the word "SUPPORT".. as I wanted to feel 'safe' in chatting to like minded people.. maybe to get together/do things.. ... to try and "preserve civilisation" (humanity) and try to create a free, just, honest and evolved world for all.. now as well as the future!
But perhaps my understanding of the range of options available/ways we can all achieve the overall/ultimate aim of Avalon is not quite the same as the majority on here??
Like I said, for me, "To support aware individuals in networking and forming groups as they wish" and to "preserve civilisation" are big part of the reason I came here.. to find other like-minded people to join up with/chat/try to progress some change on planet Earth.. to feel SAFE chatting about ideas and solutions etc..
maybe my ideas of forming groups/helping others/community/evolving/getting through the darkness is more a global perspective/understanding/aim than for some here? I don' know really.
For me, George Green's "an important responsibility and role to play in the preservation of civilization" doesn't mean saving my own skin in the future... but means doing whatever small act I can to help ensure the survival of my fellow human-beings here and now and to create a better world for the people who will be here long after I am gone!
Perhaps, to me personally, I feel that taking action to help others in the here and now (be it nextdoor of Africa or wherever, be it giving financially, or in matters of emtional/physical/spiritual support/help/guidance) is just as imoprtant (actually, for me, MORE important) than making preparations to ensure my own personal survival through whatever the upcoming events might be!
I do understand the purpose and aims of Avalon.. just maybe I have a slightly different take on how/when to go about it.. the approach that seems to make most sense/spiritual truth for me personally.. or something?? This is why I feel a little more tolerance/open-listening of others' views is vital, and a little more openess and perhaps less rigid control/censorship (obviously not allowing abuse etc!) is of BENEFIT to Avalon...
we all have to try to remain truly OPEN to listening to and considering/evaluating new ideas/perspectives/understandings (even if we don't agree with them!), otherwise we become as closed, rigid, insular and projecting an attitude of "we're in the right" as the very Systems/Powers that have been trying to keep us asleep for so long!
I'm not sure I'm expressing myself very well... So, I shall end now.. otherwise I'm just repeating myself which helps nobody!
I aplogise for my long-winded posts... I do find it hard to express myself sometimes, as apart from being heavily medicated, in pain and so on, which all which makes my brain/thinking foggy at times, I also am constantly realising inside myself so many different threads/connections/layers of understanding and awareness about the whole big picture of what we're here for.. on Earth.. as well as in Avalon (maybe?!).... My physical brain and body might be slow and falling apart, but my mind and consciousness/awareness seem to be getting more and more speeded up recent years.. !!
Peacuful Blessings
