Where did all the Open Minds Forum members go?

Fri Oct 19, 2012 12:29 pm by Admin

With Open Minds Forum restored now for almost half a year at it's new location with forumotion.com we can now turn to look at reaching out to OMF's original members who have not yet returned home. OMF's original membership was over 6,000 members strong, prior to the proboards suspension, according to the rolls of the time. We can probably safely assume that some of those accounts were unidentified socks. If we were to assume a reasonable guess of maybe as many as 30% possible sock accounts then that would leave potentially somewhere between 4800 to 4900 possible real members to locate. That is still a substantial number of people.

Who were all these people? Some were average individuals with common interests in ufology, exopolitics, globalism, corruption, earthchanges, science and technology, and a variety of other interests. Some just enjoyed being part of a vibrant and unusually interesting community. Others were representative of various insider groups participating in observation and outreach projects, while still others were bonafide intelligence community personnel. All with stake in the hunt for truth in one fashion or another. Some in support of truth, and communication. Others seeking real disclosure and forms of proof. And others highly skeptical of anything or limited subjects. The smallest division of membership being wholly anti-disclosure oriented.

So where did these members vanish to? They had many options. There are almost innumerable other forums out there on the topics of UFO's or Exopolitics, the Unexplained, and Conspiracy Theory. Did they disappear into the world-wide network of forum inhabitants? Did some go find new homes on chatrooms or individual blogs? Did they participate in ufo conventions or other public events and gatherings? How about those who represented groups in special access? Or IC and military observers? Those with academic affiliations? Where did they all go and what would be the best way to reach out and extend an invitation to return?

And what constitutes a situation deserving of their time and participation? Is the archive enough? How exactly do people within the paradigm most desire to define a community? Is it amenities, humanity or simply population size for exposure? Most of the special guests have been emailed and have expressed that population size for exposure is what most motivates them. But not all. Long-time member Dan Smith has other priorities and values motivating his participation. Should this open opportunities for unattached junior guests who have experience and dialog to contribute to the world? How best to make use of OMF's time, experience and resources?

Many skeptics would like to see the historical guardian of discourse opportunity to just up and disappear; go into permanent stasis. They think that not everyone has a right to speak about their experiences and if there is no proof involved then there can philosophically be no value to discourse. I personally would respectfully disagree with them. Discourse has always been the prelude to meaningful relationships and meaningful mutual relationships have always been the prelude to exchanges of proof. In a contentious social environment with regards to communication vs disclosure how do we best re-establish a haven for those preludes? Is it only the "if we build it they will come" answer? Well considering OMF has been largely fully functional over the last four or five months this line of reasoning is not necessarily true. So what would be the best way re-establish this? Your suggestions are sought. Please comment.

    It was in Attica where two crows sprang
    Raised with copper wire.....

    Per link:http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/crow.htm

    Keeper of the Sacred Law

    Crows are the keepers of the Sacred Law
    and to have a Crow totem is very powerful.

    Personal Integrity are your watchwords and your guide in Life.
    If you have a Crow totem, your prime path
    is to be mindful of your opinions and actions.
    You must be willing to walk your talk,
    to speak your truth and to know your life's mission.

    Crow is a omen of Change.
    Crow lives in the void and has no sense of time,
    therefore, it sees past, present and future simultaneously.
    Crow merges both light and dark, both inner and outer.
    It is the totem of the Great Spirit and must be respected as such.

    They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength.
    Look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life.
    Crows are messengers calling to us
    about the creation and magic that is alive in the world today
    and available to us.

    Anyway, the various participants not just ET are really on the move this month and have already made significant progress.  Perhaps ET is responding to that?  I wish it were more clear which group of ETs is behind your experience.  It would explain a few things.

    As I may have elucidated to in an earlier post, I am not generally sold on the outright validity of the experience being of actual physical manner/manifestation. What that in mind, it would be ungainly for me to portray it as such. Over the course of the last ten months or so, I have added new data to the picture and arrive back at the same point when I began looking into ufology. Basically, I don't know anything. Speculation, does not always have a factual nature, despite on how much we would believe it to be so.

    I have had to add a very strong influence of the rumored underbelly of MK related programs into the mix. From where I sit now, obviously disconnected from the real truths, I would have to assume that they are deeply involved, but to what degree I cannot say for certain. It would not shock me to find out that most all abduction accounts are part of a program of indoctrination with the 'idea' of the 'visitors' to lessen its impact or to design an outcome. That does not mean, I doubt all, or even the oddness around me, but makes me consider how EASY it is to manufacture a reality around someone.

    In the other hand, we have the possibility of it being based in reality. That also leaves many ponderables to consider. They seem to have the ability to appear as they wish – when they wish. The image they present to us may not be the true image. It has been evidenced enough as to why they do this; deceit, fear of us, fear of their reality upon us, knowledge of their interaction with us becoming hazardous to our health, etc. All these consideration would not be outside the scope of possibility.

    So what does that leave us to contemplate?

    We know MK projects are still in operation, despite denials.
    We know ET/UT have no difficulty doing the same, if in fact they are a reality.

    Can we trust either without the benefit of mutual and 'physical' interaction between? Can we trust shadows? Not normally, despite mine following me around all day, I still do not trust it, because it is not tangible. Granted, I do recognize the fear-factor associated with those chance encounters going generally into a negative reaction. It's understandable.

    The Whites, sound compassionate, but quick to rage. Are we any different? Hurt my kids, I hurt you also. Simple enough logic. Bumping into one in stairwell and getting the death stick pointed at you?

    Over the top? A bad day? Too much liquor at the casino? Disinformation? Who knows.

    The Greys, aka The Kids, Gourds, or The Boyz in Hood do have quite the bad rap. Not to defend any actions they may have committed in the last 50 years, disinfo removed, but would a rouge group represent the whole species? Does/did Hitler represent all Germans or humans for that matter?

    Ufology, has never been afforded the grail of knowledge minus the psyops. I don't think we can truly come to any real conclusions with all of the fodder, psyop, disinfo, Earthen-MK, ET/UT -MK involved. It would be like trying to grow a garden from vegetable soup. Yes, everything is there, generally speaking, but it is in such disarray it is impossible to put them back in the ground correctly.

    If my, oddness is actually based in 'reality' – they seem to only consume garden variety goods. There are not many of them left. They have poisoned themselves 'ecologically' and seemed to have destroyed parts of their environment. Sounds a bit familiar? They, the youngsters, enjoy being in nature, but there are a lot of dusty scenery, homes built with sticks.

    They have never 'named' themselves to my knowledge unless time took away what the government told people 'not' to believe in. Ironic? I was never encouraged to remember - I was told to forget. How many secrets of wisdom have been lost in this manner, by countless others? Mock and ridicule, the governments tools to anesthetize a potential truth likely also keep them in the dark.

    This enigmatic journey has never been 'my' selfish pursuit of knowledge. My jousts herein have been for innocence-becoming to have the tools I did not.

    I left the killing fields and parachutes for the healing arts for a reason because reasons to kill have always found a season without futures retrospect.

    Very well said Bard.

    And this:  
    Bard wrote: I still do not trust it, because it is not tangible. 


    Is precisely why unambiguous contact is necessary.


    Mankind are no longer adherents of mythology to substituted for truth, understanding, and wisdom expressed.

    Therefore it is time to strip away the illusions.  Settle down the 'fun and games' crowd of MK players.  And produce a harmonious perception of them, the universe, and our place in it.

    The glams (glamour) has come full circle now.  It is no longer a shield to guard against fears.

    The ETs if they fear simple social interaction with us, need to learn patience and self control over their own reactions.

    Man must do the same.  We must shed our fears lightly.  Learn to lean into the wind.  And embrace experience.  Our mundane facets can no longer hide our intellects from logic and the harmful effects of self-seclusion.  The shields must be lowered and we must look out over the rim to see the landscape and its inhabitants arrayed before us.

    Only then can we employ a further introspection at self-improvement.

    This is where we can say, it is indeed a spiritual journey.  Truth, experience, and Soul are the triad of life.  The latter cannot grow and evolve without the prior set of two.

    ~  For each triad the first two points support and illuminate the excellence of the third.  Cy

    “Shangri-La”


    Twin peaked, craggy cliffs
    Distant by design
    Is this the place few eyes have chased
    Shangri-La to the sojourn-kind
    And I, must define?

    Winds I witness, attempting plunge
    Their icy fingertips into the pool
    Before me, and even when I am gone, will after
    Be creating this wake.

    And what is this I spy along distant banks
    To distant for eyesight to clearly perceive?
    Shapes, forms, symmetry, seemingly so
    Ethereally distorted, or by distance alone
    Could it be – Elrond's home?

    Staring out softly how small we all seem
    Just as a voice, that no one can see
    Air between lips in place far away
    Where secrets are ships
    That the waves push away.

    If only my eyes, crippled at birth
    Could touch all the colors so common of mirth
    Perhaps I might sharpen a few more pens
    Grafting to hope what humbles
    In twins.

    To be quite honest, I am not sure what insights to share here anymore.

    Still pondering the paranormal.

    In the back of my mind - it slowly loses its luster and just becomes -abnormal.  Sometimes I wonder if the Cosmic clown punching bag of sorts, is typing this post...  At some point elusive and mysterious events - would have to transition from paranormal to abnormal to normal once they becomes better defined through inquiry.

    I mean, what if, you were to find size 14-15 shoe-prints in the snow that lead to no where? Donning my skeptical hat for a moment.  Certainly they could be faked or perhaps the data was misinterpreted as something more benign.  Part of me suspects I should know better, but then, the five senses do reign supreme in discernment of reality.

    My scientific level of investigation can be summed up with a visual-mantra: Me, shaking my head from side to side with a reluctant and unappealing grin..... I imagine some souls are forced to live a life, not of their choosing from a very young age.  Is this Cosmic Justice or Punishment?  Somewhere in-between?

    Paranormal?

    Hi Guys this is a totally different spin on what's happening here on this post , the following information i'm presenting are what Courtney Brown terms Implications.

    Implications Posting #1:

    At least some of the claims made by Zecharia Sitchin and others involving extraterrestrial interference with human development on Earth in the ancient past appear to be true.

    Notes:
    1. This posting does not speak to the issue of Nibiru or its existence.
    2. This is one of a series of “Implication Postings” that refer to an announcement that will be made during the month of February 2014. Once made, news of this announcement will be available at www.farsight.org and elsewhere.
    3. These postings are designed to encourage broad public discussion of the February 2014 announcement. They do not directly address the specific content of the announcement.
    Implications Posting #2:

    New evidence suggests that Earth may have been "run" in a manner analogous to a prison planet in the ancient past, where religions and monumental construction projects were engineered under near slavery conditions, possibly for the purposes of inhibiting civilization development as well as collective memory. While these efforts appear to have been interrupted, it is possible that residual disruptive influences remain.

    Implications Posting #3:

    Throughout all of history, profound change to human civilization has never resulted simply from the exercise of brute force. Such transformations have only resulted from the widespread acceptance of new knowledge, new ideas. Knowledge reasserts free will, something that can only be surrendered voluntarily by individuals and groups who are led to believe something that benefits the few who seek control over the many. Absent those beliefs, no physical force can stand, no matter how oppressive.

    Implications Posting #4:

    Above all else, those who govern seek to control what the masses accept as true, and there is nothing that they will not do in order to achieve this since it is the sole source of their power. The belief that those who govern would not brazenly manipulate knowledge simply for their own benefit is the single most important belief that supports their continued reign. This belief always leads to confusion, despair, and relentless cynicism from within the ranks of those who are controlled. Once this belief is abandoned, free will returns absolutely, and great change is inevitable.

    And here is my interpertation of them , of course this is open to ideas Smile

    Implication 1 : Is there now proof we have different dna ?
    Implication 2: could it be a 1 world religion , non religion or free will once again
    Implication 3 : Is knowledge being given , or is there a realisation we are being held back.
    Implication 4: Is history that is being rewritten , now going to be proven wrong and the real history be known.

    I haven't been to farsight yet, but here is my initial take on you posting I quoted:

    Implication 1 :  There has been proof we have different dna and that the dna that is external to this world comes from multiple specie groups of hominids.  This has been known since the early parts of the Human Genome Project.  Controls were implemented.

    Implication 2 : It will be Free Will once again...consequently, the potential for success of the Third Option which is a self-initiated re-construct of human society and self-governance based on the human experience of the early template-under-glams (guise), for the Third Option, demonstrating its strengths and weaknesses and responsibilities will follow a great realization triggered by a multi-faceted comprehension of the human condition in all forms.

    Implication 3 :   It will be a realization that we have been held back, and will self-assess our own fait accompli of proportional responsibility in having subsisted in that state for the duration of that period, and a subsequent realization that in facing this we empower ourselves to either remain in this state or surpass it of our own accord; by our own free will.

    Implication 4 :  It will be a part of the I-3 realization that history has been rewritten to keep us in this current state of human condition; that the process of correcting our understanding of history is already underway through self-efforts of alternative individuals and groups who share information through creative commons licenses or open source relational publications.

    and to this a fifth....

    Implication 5 :  In embracing this whole experience, instigated by Others of both physical and non-physical self-expressions, we will achieve the conclusion to have acted in the capacity to achieve these alterations successfully and to move forward to examine the potential and options of a future by our own hands.

    Recollections of a dream: Fiction and Mustard Seeds...

    Detours.  Frustrating at their initial onset, still can reward unsuspectingly.  That is perhaps the wisdom in retrospects possession.  My last detour in life began a little over a year ago – last March to be more specific while peering into Nibiru's mysteries.  I would be disingenuous if I did not admit to being more than a bit frustrated with the initial revelation, wrapped in the mockery associated within the studies therein. As time progressed, just as the range of emotions, the rise and fall, while studying the Aurora Borealis I found for the first time, hidden hands littered around the globe.  

    When I awakened from the dream into the reality, I began to see what I chose not to look at for the past several years. Despite even suspecting for a very long duration of time of it being a reality. I ignored those suspicions that normally leads one to ask direct questions. What did I find?  I found that, just as in Vegas, cards are stacked – perhaps even by design.  In the dream each face represented had three others more accurate.  For five years the dealer at the table held the King of Clubs under the table. Was it to trump on me or merely trumpet?  The club hit hard - perhaps better described as knowledge. Yet, why was it presented then – at that time? Why not years prior? After the removing the helm, dented in from a long fought battle alone, off to the Audiologist I went only to leave with two hearing aids for the ringing the reverberations left.  

    The 'dream-Scrapes' can be rather bizarre, but flying naked in the world of Intel can be more hazardous than anyone might suspect.  So, I should thank the Nibiru-types.  

    Still, no apologies?  Anonymity can be a comfort zone not easily abandoned especially for the stratagem it provides.  It is a luxury, no doubt, of which can, will, and IS being abused.  Perplexed I am as to the 'nature' of those dancing the Cosmic two step with Tim McGraw.  My advice to those who are under some assumptions or belief with phenomenons of of the paranormal? Run away. Keep your mysterious secrets locked away for if they are discovered, you will find that men and or women in positions of power sitting on the periphery will find a way to conscript you into a deeper melodrama.  The battle will soon become two-fold and the dream-scrapes will only grow more frequent.  Which 'Mother' would let the child be cleaved in two if only to secure deeper meanings of the psyche under the assumption of treasure manifesting from it?  

    It is only one child – the argument could be raised - we have billions. While, at the end of the day, those same individuals, drive home to see their children/grandchildren who are oblivious to the impoverished nature or spiritual insignificance of their parents day to day.  Push one onto the tracks to save many more? That is a morality questions philosophers wrestle with.  Is that how the day is justified? Noble indeed!  Your child is standing before you, noblemen. Lead by example? Can God be pulled from all children or just certain ones?  That is a question I am dying to know.

    Truth seeking generally begins as a genuine quest into deeper understandings about the nature of reality of the self.   At some point a realization sets in, for some, that seeking the self, seems selfish, and should be working towards 'Great Things' without ever knowing what they are or where to find them. Even those who, at the pinnacle of intellectual lotteries, struggle with this same preoccupation. At the end of the day those great deeds will be overwritten by the hands of time, eventually by another.

    What of the reckless abandon some of those same men/women take without any regard for  Psychologically terraforming without the providence or permission to do so?  Earthly authority does not circumvent natural rights. This is abuse of position. Permission given is to rightfully be yielding.


    What else did I pull from the dream-scrape in these latter years?  Never trust the dream.  If you find yourself 'dying' to know an answer pulled from that mysteriousness you may find a more physical hand/design behind it. Be mindful of your thoughts and how they are perceived.  Synchronicity and deja-vu? If you control the tools around a persons life, inside knowledge per se, it can be created. Do not doubt this.  This does bring to mind the potential of PLF's, (programmed life forms) in the future that you hear many singularity advocates speaking of.  I'm trying not to get that term confused with PLF's from the Airborne Division, currently.  

    I have been reading up on the Ethics of Neurobiology in relationship to National Security recently.  The reports and summaries I have been able to secure online do seem a bit outdated. I did stumble onto a few lengthy lectures online hosted by the NOUR foundation. One of the speakers being, if I recall, a DARPA-Neuro Scientist.  I have only had one semi-threatening phone call in the last five years and it came a month or so ago 'in my dream' of course. Anyone knowledgeable in the phenomenon knows about fiction and mustard seeds gardens.

    Trust.  Is this even resolvable as we tap dance around a Cosmic egg? Do Cosmic eggs have friends? Who or what to they trust? Certainly they have children to which love adheres. Going straight to the 'top' for answers didn't seem to help with my circumstances for the record.  At the end of this dream I found myself running to the public library to secure the most recent audiobook on Equine Dentistry to listen to while driving to the VA for batteries.  Absurdly humorous, Dreams, I must admit, but was comforted knowing a passerby heard it also.  How special that makes one feel.


    I do not suspect that I will be treading around these parts much in the future. Living life does seem to hold more weight.  Sky diving and Rocky Mountain climbing would be a boon!  Until then, Coed softball league.  

    Keep Safe, Humans.

    Chapter 2:  Fiction and Mustard Seeds

    Speek in Tongues

    In my next 'Theoretical' Brain-Storming for ideas to write about – I have jumped into a future time-line.

    In this fictional story – warrior monks find themselves faced with the onset of a new future technology.

    Neuro-Enhancements via BMI's (Brian Machine Interfaces) are becoming the rage of talk behind closed doors within the establishment, elitist circles, and small covetous groups.  Some within those groups are now finding ways to hack into the minds of everyday citizenry.  Will the world fold into anarchy?

    The slang term, used on the streets once it becomes the rage is 'thought insemination', which can be more accurately described as 'suggestion'. These suggestions are indistinguishable from ones own thoughts most of the time. Physicists in and around DC-Polarization, normally where politicians sway back and forth like flags to keep up the image for the public have also joined into the Neuronal-Zapping game.  If you feel a tickle tickle – you just might be a pickle. Who ever imagined that a VALasic would be so crunchy?!

    The larger question asked was thus:  Is it profitable or only exploitable? Operational? GREY-Poopon?

    The public soon became aware that Neuronal-zapping could potentially enhance brain function depending on which areas were stimulated. What they did not take time to contemplate is the potential long term side effects of brain damage, most often irreversible, while tinkering nor did they consider that 'Mind-Hackers' would now have a new playground as traditional PC's were no longer a challenge to those 'behind' the matrix.   The playground was the most complex computer on Earth, the human mind.

    RE:




    MY Perspective:




    Transcendence, as represented above: Dual Use in its capacity.  One side of the coin, dark and unrestrained, the Psychic-Pan's Catastrophe in waiting and the other only seeking to inspire change?  Or is it only to push limits further - absolved from the fails behind the veils, guiltless? Compensatory?

    Can Transcendence REPAIR what its search for breaks???  The hourglass, nudged aside, by accident or design, parts now powdered into a new state of design.   Can they be placed back into alignment without the fiery-forge or is transcendence really only act and react - past behaviors fully intact? I suggest to those truly seeking Transcendence – place those most cherished on the fulcrum of fate. Perhaps then, they might perceive less analytically and more conscious-connections to their actions.

    When one enters like a thief, into a lowly or high kings house, taking possession of what is placed within - is this not the same as those seeking to stake a claim to Another's mind?

    Both Crows and the Moon are creatures of shadow....Transcendence is only one part in a life processes.  The sustenance of life and mystery blooms only in the light; we say silver on the tree, thus the process travels both shadows and the light.  It is the journey along circles of shattering questions, elemental insight, and self application followed by clarity of vision or understanding that gains a shot at transcendence.  Sometimes synchronicity brings together the great dance between fate, circumstance and conscious choice, setting in motion the journey that ultimately results in it.  Sometimes.  Sometimes the very fabric of the Universe believes in the seemingly impossible and we are witness to its music.  It has oft been said that great ships were never designed to lie in safe ports.  Life is that great ship and each person her captain.  Mankind was never meant to fear the frontier...instead it rises before us and bids us sail...it's always only an invitation...a choice.  Without life there is only dreams.  Reality is the outcome of conscious choice striving beyond the veil of dream.

    It can be.  But it can also be akin to setting the table for dinner that another is cooking.  Could you eat without the setting?  Yes you could...but which method is more likely to result in some sort of satisfaction?

    Staking a claim to another's mind; to free will, is an illusion...illusions are products of dreams, not life; not choice; not the universe's intended design.  Choice, true choice, lies in embracing experience of the frontier for which living was designed.  The table is set, the cook has prepared the food....the food is the frontier.  Choose to eat or not.  Not all food is palatable...but you'll never know which is which if you walk away.

    Transcendence cannot fix what is broken in the process.  Call it perspective, painfully acquired, unabated.   Call it a clarity of limitations or Technology Barriers.

    Do you think the OOOPSing 'Official' will have an 'intervention' of sorts? A 'lil thuggery? Certainly some form of admonishment!?

    No it is not a solution it is only language used in observation of processes that are like a thin overlay, a lens.  Moderns have other language steeped in psycho-social flavor.  Processes are to imply a solution or any type of outcome one way or another.  It is human cultural preference to say that the transcendent part of living process can only be achieved via something one can define as good or an epiphany that results in higher evolution.  In old world celtic terms, it rather implies change that supercedes all other states.  This can meet any definition of good, bad, or indifferent...it is only change based on choice upheld by geis.

    More even than the double standard over leaks, it illustrates the factional in-fighting.  I dare say the named is meant to be threatened or made at risk...that this was deliberate.  Purging one way or another?
