I was on the phone with a good friend I made on the forums the other night, and he started describing to me the most amazing anomalous experience he had that week.
As he was explaining how grateful he was he had someone he trusted to talk to, how he didn't feel comfortable sharing on the forums after all we've witnessed, it occurred to me how silly it is that we just can't seem to create a simple place to gather data and compare notes.
It occurred to me that it really shouldn't be as difficult as it seems. But for various reasons, it's harder than doing rocket science with Chinese math...I found this so anamolous, that one of the purposes in creating this is to see if we can put a finger on what makes it so difficult.
In 2012, I bopped around the Internet, looking for answers to questions the peeps I know in real life were afraid to even here: what can I do about the "ghosts" infecting my house? Are they more like demons? There seems to be some psychic phenomena going here, is my energy and/or that of my loved ones creating or contributing to the weirdness? Has anyone dealt with anything like this?
I found a lot of feedback on the Project Avalon forum. Tons of great people with great insights. Connections to all kind of seemingly unrelated information, points of view I'd have difficulty finding anywhere else.
So I spilled my guts. Dumped everything, directed so much energy in that direction, all the while being told by the old timers, the wisest of members: go within. Take personal responsibility.
I got it, on the intellectual level. But I really wasn't living it, not completely...not from the heart. But my mind chugged along...dropping more details about my life than anyone in my real life ever got.
I don't regret anything, I learned so much...and am fine with the universe being able to learn so much of the "me" that existed at that time...except that I did it in a place that either was captured by or originally with the intent of the pattern of civilization: a heirarchy, cult of personality, elite/authority, secrecy and superficial bullshit. Which would be fine, I guess, except for everyone there telling ourselves it was somehow different.
Lying to ourselves.
I want to see if we can create what that place continues to tell itself it is, or at least what I lied myself into believing it was trying to be: a place to share our truth, in order to find some common Truth that would help empower each individual, thus empowering a greater community
This thread is intended for sharing phenomena you encountered on PA where the collective (as opposed to Bill Ryan or any particular individual) contributed to making it different than what you thought it was supposed to be...thus creating an atmosphere where a person would be less likely to openly share their anamolous experiences.
