I would be remiss to continue to refrain from bringing attention to my favorite alt-media celeb of all time: James Gilliland, founder of the ECETI ranch in Trout Lake, WA...a place I personally believe is where the "veil separating dimensions" is thinner than most places on this planet.
Like a lot of these guys, his messages about how to live and how humans should interact and behave with each other totally resonates with me, as do a great deal of his views on things. And like most of the other dudes in his position on the alternative media, I have a hard time believing a majority of his endless completely wacky ones. And mixed feelings about his personal relationship with every "imaginary" and historical entity who's ever existence, most of which are apparently constantly visiting his ranch, if you believe him and his colleagues.
If the dude is completely fraudulent, he's one of the best. I personally "feel" him to be good intentioned, and my more sensitive other half is totally in to him even though she feels something "off" about nearly anyone I ask her to "read"...so take that for whatever it is worth...we both got sessions and I thought he was so good I got one for my oldest son too, and that skeptical bastard wouldn't talk about it but liked it and thought there was real value.
What I am trying to do though is to get my "journal" I made in real time when I was there in order to reflect on it. Problem is, I was "all-in" on the cult of Avalon (I think it summer 2013) and never imagined not having access to my own writing....I put it in a private thread (called something like "my trip to the ECETI ranch"...I dunno, I didn't start a ton of threads and very few private ones, it should be relatively easy to find if you look up threads started by "donk"
Anyways, I was hoping someone who had the privilege of membership there (and wasn't afraid to red flag themselves...they DEFINITELY pay attention when someone digs around old threads they're sensitive about, and I dare say they may flag stuff I wrote, especially considering what I am asking here)...if they would be so kind (and brave) as to copy my posts from that thread for me, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Just looking at my posts may get you branded as "hanging out with unsavory characters", I've seen him mention something to more than one individual, so please don't even visit my profile if you want to stay of the PA radar...but if you ain't scared, I'd be stoked if you could help me out. Gracias
ADDED: OH...my issues with the dude: I totally believe he has "powers" or sensitivity or psychic ness waaaaay more than average joe, and has an (unintentional, to my mind) cultish following...but the actual ranch is to me like the idealization of the "hippy commune" anti-cult that has never been achieved in real life from what I can tell (or at least not reported on, of course you only hear the horror stories), James to me shows you CAN be in that position and NOT be a total douche abusing that "power" that you could take with it.
But to me, for him to be IDEAL in that position I personally project on the responsibility to condemn the shady cats in the arena (and criticize openly and often the arena itself), particularly the likes of Bill Ryan and PA...considering one of the former "ranch residents" created one of the longest running most viewed thread that draws a following: Giovanni's "Down on the ranch" thread. To be fair, there was some sort of issue/conflict, Gio had recently moved off the ranch somewhere else nearby, and James didn't praise or affirm either Bill or PA...he just wouldn't talk about it at all. Gio did make a special trip to meet me and he is a fucking awesome dude but he wouldn't contribute to any drama by explaining the nearly tangilble tension about it...but it was clear that they were good friends still who have nothing but respect for each other
...which is sort of a problem to me. Gio is a "champion" of sorts for the EVERY fantastical "whistleblower/experiencer" that has ever spoke a word publicly...and constantly defends (enables) any character that contributes in the name of discernment, particularly troubling to me Teal Scott. I love Gio, he's one of my favorite posters of all time, but with that I think comes some responsibility, so unfortunately I have to lump James into an "ally to BR" by omission and this association, and lump Gio into the BR enabler class, those that have such great contributions but excuse his bullshit for the "good of Avalon"
