What has turned me off is that there are a lot of contactees on the forum and rather than ask them what is going on, attention is given to people who say the sky is falling in and their only credential to say that is that they have a bunch of books they want to sell. I am encouraged though. The thread on heart path and people saying they believe nothing the book sellers say is a step towards waking up. This forum is a microcosm of the hu-man condition. If you wonder what is the reason the world is in the state it is in, look at what people say and how they say it on this forum. Look at how people put people down. Look at how book readers and book sellers think they know everything. It is instructive. I see many lost opportunities for communication on this forum. Peace.

I agree completely. Never has time like these times occurred in our history. In the old days things in the World would happen and people would have time digest these things a slow process, yet more personal, to ones self. Now we have the Internet message boards, and just great influx of paranoia, false prophets and of course snake oil salesmen, that can guarantee a understanding. Oh not to mention new religions, 2012, etc. etc. and whatnot. The waking up part is easy, either will do it on our own, or they'll unplug us I suppose. I think our job is to just inform people the World will not stop spinning, life will go on one way or another whether, WE believe what your preaching or not. WITHOUT getting into petty arguments on the internet. This should be a support board, not a board of passing or sensationalizing nonsense. What saddens me is someone has to tell us how to be. Instead of us already knowing how to act...
