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.

    By the way, 99, are you a jesus freak or not? If so, you’re sure hiding your lamp under a bushel. Be careful with that. Your house might catch on fire when you try to hide the flame. - dan


    Oh, you mean about my continuing lottery wins? 

    Like I said, I donate my wins to worthy causes so those ongoing wins have given me a noble purpose in life. I am very fortunate in that regard. Smile

    Do what you want with that Dan but the fact that you're always looking at the negative side of things is very unfortunate indeed.
     

    I am most definitely a Jesus freak! And proud of it too!

    I do everything, in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

    Also, from a Christian POV.... a Kundalini Awakening is just another term for  being filled with the Holy Spirit! And after the first initial awakening.... that awakening process continues .... forever.

    99,

    That really takes the cake........

    The negative side of the best possible world.......!!  

    Here’s news from nowhere, 99, the best possible world has no negative side.  

    Just ask smelly.


    ....... the process continues.......

    Ok, 99, be prepared to get woke real good.

    I’m not arguing with Dan about his faith.

    Perhaps he clarified it grappling with us fools.

    He can be God, the SoT, Jesus, whatever works for him.

    Really, one could let anyone from the past possess them.

    The Earth is filled with Ghosts.

    The more the merrier I say.

    Oh my, smelly goat wants to jump on that one Dan, but we are blind and dumb.

    A Zen Jesus sounds cool to me.

    The Zen masters dig Jesus.

    When you dig into the tradition of Zen you find the same bullshitz and infighting as in any man maintained tradition.

    Plenty of leacherous Zen masters.

    I never understood gropers, who just grab people during meditation.

    Monkeys.

    I think we need a Muslim, Atheist, Christian, Zoroastrian, Sufi, Buddhist/Zen, Humanist, Agnostic meetup.

    That would be fun.

    Dan, the question you should be asking is if I would die for you and my answer to that question is NO.

    This said, I do think that your (dan) higher self in the astral realm is exceptional. Exactly what that means has yet to be revealed to me.

    The last I checked, the only beings were persons. 


    The World was created by the Word....

    Nature or the universe is controlled by logos, the "Word", or "reason", which was "Truth" and synonymous with "godhead".

    In the beginning was the "Word" [Logos], and the "Word" [Logos] was with God, and the "Word" [Logos] was God.

    "Word", Reason, Truth, God...it's ALL Conscious...Pure Awen...pure inspiration.

    The Vedas say, "by means of Truth, the Earth endures".

    For both Druids and Brahmins, the life-giving principle and sustaining power was the Word or Truth, the ultimate cause for All-Being.

    Speaking of the demise of Notre Dame - the Lady

    Remember who built her - Masons 1.0 Templars NOT Masons 2.0 Illuminati/Alumbrados [Europe].  It was prior to the control of France by the Illumined.

    Wikipedia: Notre-Dame de Paris wrote:The cathedral was begun in 1160 under Bishop Maurice de Sully and was largely complete by 1260

    Wikipedia - Templars wrote:At dawn on Friday, October 13, 1307, scores of French Templars were simultaneously arrested by agents of King Philip, later to be tortured in locations such as the tower at Chinon, into admitting heresy and other sacrilegious offenses in the Order. Then they were put to death.

    Remember the difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution was who was where.  Nature's Crowd Alliance w/original Templars/Masons in America vs the Illuminati controlled Masons of France/Europe

    Look Carefully - Widipedia Notre-Dame de Paris wrote:In 1793, during the French Revolution, the cathedral was rededicated to the Cult of Reason, and then to the Cult of the Supreme Being. During this time, many of the treasures of the cathedral were either destroyed or plundered. The twenty-eight statues of biblical kings located at the west façade, mistaken for statues of French kings, were beheaded.

    Remember the Templars never got around to raising their new "nation" in the new world (Oak Island in the North to New Hampshire [strawberry banks] in the South) per the land grant from the Sachem BECAUSE they attempted to help their Scottish Benefactors with the liberation of Scotland from the English.  Eventually they abandoned this for the English Colonies in North America.  The vacuum they left behind, was taken by the Illumined by the late 1600s early 1700s.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_Reason

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_the_Supreme_Being

    Where do you think the triadic philosophical approach originates?  Egypt?  Jerusalem?  Lol.

    Mogh Ruith of Valencia Island (early Christian 2nd Century Enclave, Ireland) was Ollamh Mor (Great Scholar/Druid) and a respected early Bishop of Christianity on the Isle of the Setting Sun.  He set the stage for the Cormac mac Airt to become the first Christian King of Tara, who in turn requested a Christian burial upon his death instead of entombment with the ancient Kings of Eireann.

    The stars speak through the stones.  Light shines in the densest matter.  Earth and heaven are ONE.  Our physical beings and our heavenly souls are united in the Mystery of Being. -- Philip Carr-Gomm, The Druid Tradition.


    I am the author
    written into the
    greenbook of the grass,
    the primal scripture. 
    -- Bill Lewis, "The Skyclad Christ"


    To be an "author" is to be at one with Awen -- Spiritual Inspiration aka Authentic.  Truth is a virtue.  Word, Logos, Divinity - path to God/unity-harmony with All Being.

    The Book of Job compares all life to grass, and speaks of the way in which the upspringing green shoot that withers away is cast into the fire to be burned (revolution of lifetimes).  Yet this green shoot feeds the human and animal worlds  The green grain ripens into the golden harvest that makes our very bread -- to hear the primal scripture that has its own spiritual language and understand the knowledge that transcends all religious boundaries.  This is a transmission between yourself and God on a whole other level of understanding, beyond oral or written traditions.  Inspired Authenticity and Synergy via the Soul Channel of Awen: between self and God.  We call this the shining.  The golden light of the sun is the harmony to our melody.


    To dare the incarnation; to take the road in silence.
    To know the ascension; to will the resurrection.
    The song shimmers in the golden people.
    -- Aidan Andrew Dun, Vale Royal

    Everything that lives is holy -- William Blake, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"

    Life is a sacred gift that all beings receive.  It is the MANNER of our living that makes all the difference.  The way in which we relate to other living beings encourages them to change the world for good or violate the world for ill; the way in which we spend our lives illuminates or darkens those around us.  But if we are not aware of the sacred potential in each living being, if we do not acknowledge it and respect it, we may become active agents of the soul's darkening.  Everything that lives is holy because it is an abiding place of Spirit; every body is a home where the sacred gifts of Spirit may be born anew.

    Who is it who declaims the sun's arising?
    Who is it who tells where the sun sets?
    -- Amergin, Lebor Gabala Erenn

    The world has tilted far
    from the sun, from colour and juice...
    I am waiting for a birth that will change everything.
    -- Hilary Llewellyn-Williams, The Tree Calendar

    Of Truth and Generosity? - yet another key

    As long as sun and moon shall last
    The generous one shall never be empty.
    -- Scots Gaelic saying.

    Generosity, Truth....Hospitality is an expression of Soul Truth.  The truly generous one gives without stint (respects free will), like Fionn mac Cumhail, of whom it was said:  If only the brown leaf were gold the tree sheds where the year is old!  Silver [Silver on the Tree], the foam upon the bay, Fionn would give it all away.

    We of the Fianna never told a lie.  Falsehood was never attributed to them.  But by truth and the strength in our hands, we came safe out of every combat. -- Ladoidh Chunaic an Air

    The Fianna was the prestigious war band of the hero Fionn mac Cumhail, whose honor was bound up in their maintenance of truth, as their motto says:  "Truth in our hearts, strength in our hands, consistency upon our tongues."

    If I break faith, may the skies fall upon me, may the seas drown
    me, may the earth rise up and swallow me.  
    -- Ancient Gaulish oath of the elements to God.

    The Lady's demise was not natural.  She who was built to give unconditionally a seat for the faith in the souls of man.

    For a dispensation of Justice and Truth, on her behalf a recitation of the Old Irish Sun Prayer in full:

    The eye of the great GOD,
    The eye of the GOD of glory,
    The eye of the KING of hosts,
    The eye of the KING of the Living,
    Pouring upon us
    At each time and season,
    Pouring upon us
    Gently and generously.
    Glory to thee,
    Thou glorious sun (GOD's Awen to the Living),
    Glory to thee, thou grian,
    Face of the GOD of all Life.

    Do you possess any photos of family or places you wish to remember with fondness?  If yes, then you know why they are happy.

    Humans cling to memories of what they believe in or hold in high value...stuff helps them remember.

    Give their happiness and relief, the peace won fairly in the cataclysm of sorrow.

    Dan and Aaron are scared of the princess maybe.

    I wonder what that’s all about?

    Makes me think of that song...



    I used to be scared of my mother.

    I fought her every step to make me.

    Now she and I are dead to each other.

    Anywhere I go though, I meet her.

    Mothers have such a hold on their sons until they don’t.

    Dan mentioned the Princess might be a decoy. For a Hive Queen maybe? I think I've met her, she didn't look like Aliyah Pandolfi...

    I wonder how long it takes Cy to write these posts?

    Impressive.

    Lol Smelly Goat.  I spent my childhood hours AFTER public school, in traditional Aes Dana scholarship - standing in the kitchen painfully shifting from one worn out foot to the other required to stand in place until I had accurately finished reciting my traditional lessons and answered the comprehension questions that went with them correctly.  Traditional study doesn't grade on a curve or give out bathroom passes.  You want out, you get it done efficiently and correctly.  You are trained and required to remember everything you see and hear, the first time.  No peeking back in the book or saying it to yourself seven times like in public school.  And then there is multi-tasking....never doing just one task at a time.

    Grin.  You should try it sometime.  Brain calisthenics.

    Dan wished to know more of my cosmology.  

    I've been teaching it in context with the current conversation.

    Cosmological Moralist Culture cannot be taught in a nutshell.  Only in living context.

    Do you possess any photos of family or places you wish to remember with fondness?  If yes, then you know why they are happy.

    Humans cling to memories of what they believe in or hold in high value...stuff helps them remember.

    Give their happiness and relief, the peace won fairly in the cataclysm of sorrow.

    Fascinating write-up in your last couple of posts. You absolutely amaze me Cy and how you can write out essays like that at the drop of a hat. BRILLIANT is the only word I can come up for that....

    As for your response to smelly's comment that I have in quotes here.... as a Catholic, I want to thank you for that. When I first viewed the first video of Notre Dame on fire like that.... it felt like a sword was piercing my heart... 

    I also felt a lot of anger too because there have recently been some Catholic Church arson incidents in Paris including millions of dollars worth of damage to "the famed St. Sulpice Church" yet some of those there are saying that the Notre Dame fire might have been accidently set which makes me wonder if those officials who are saying that are hiding something.
