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.

    First topic message reminder :

    “Nature's first green is gold,
    Her hardest hue to hold.
    Her early leaf's a flower;
    But only so an hour.
    Then leaf subsides to leaf.
    So Eden sank to grief,
    So dawn goes down to day.
    Nothing gold can stay.”

    —Robert Frost

    Dan’s words are dead.

    He denies what is before his very eyes.

    He isn’t a trusted source.

    He’s a muppet doing what muppets do with muppets, seeking power.

    Trump and Vance represent a war on women, on Sophia.

    You don’t own women’s bodies.

    You would like to force women in your life to obey you, fat chance!

    Bahahahahaha!

    Every asshole is out behind Trump.

    The child molestors, love trump.

    The rapists, love Trump.

    Well, Sophia will slay you one way or another.

    You can run from the collective as long as you like.

    You can hate women and hurt them and rage at them, but they are our mothers and daughters.

    That Aaron with his daughters can support Trump is beyond insanity.

    He’s just a horribly hurt and confused kid and I’m sad for his family.

    But that’s his problem.

    He comes from that horribly misogynistic Mormon cult.

    Fundamentalists are assholes to the core.

    It’s tough to quit once you have been a part of a cult.

    They are so warm and cozy.

    They foster your worst instincts.

    I’ve lost all respect for him, what little I had Wink

    Disgusting 🤮

    The putrid stench of the Trumpets 🎺 will be hard to get out of our souls.

    And the world turns on.

    Enough of the mormon muppet fucker.

    Moving on...



    The mind is our keeper.

    It guards our outer reputation at the expense of our inner life.

    It guards the way to the superior.

    Compassion does an end run around the mind.

    The mind won’t let the trumpets 🎺 access this compassion.

    That’s why it’s hatred of the other.

    Who could support a govt promoting hatred of the other and call themselves a Jesus lover?

    To save some money?

    You would betray your heart to avoid taxes?

    Our border should be wide open!

    We should embrace the other as ourselves.

    We deserve this.

    Sophia is winding up for one hell of a spanking.

    when you wake up and realize your entire life is manged reality

    I don't want to live in managed reality if its badly managed

    but I cant live in direct reality either because maybe thats just too dangerous

    I'm not sure Trump will be allowed to win

    There are too many layers and not enough time in the world to work it all out

    "You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. And, uh, a lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head"

    all we can do is know and master ourselves and let the rest fall where it may

    I have to admit I don't know which candidate is the clear choice at this point

    E has muddied the waters

    The taoist farmer grins at me in my dreams

    time is better spent developing one's self

    trying to figure out which side to pick is an effort in futility

    When the paranoia is dropped the pronoia bubbles up through the mud

    whatever happens with the elections is not my concern

    what would Marcus do?

    I don't know honestly



    U has no clue

    hiding in the shadows only to pop out at the opportune time and drop a few lines of gotcha

    ha!

    Elon and Peter Thiel are Accelerationists.

    They want to speed up the coming collapse.

    I’m not saying this is even a bad strategy.

    But this isn't about policy.

    That’s just what they are.

    They are following their program.  

    They think they are the future’s savior.

    The future doesn’t need saving, each of us can only conquer ourselves.

    If they were wise, they would be leading others out of the cave.

    Do you think Elon and Trump have conquered themselves?

    They are out of control atm.

    Spiraling into the abyss.

    They doubled down on the shadows on the cave wall.

    Dan said years ago Trump is in on everything, he was meant to capture the stupid.

    He was working with the Princess.

    Dan had a rude awakening this year about his friends.

    Their masks came off and he saw into the abyss.

    It scared him.

    He called me and I gave my two cents awhile ago.

    Dan is captured now too, but he’s a big boy.

    Trump is chaos.

    Chaos does one thing, it’s chaotic Wink

    I’m an anarchist, I want the whole system pulled down.

    But if Trump and his forces win, our darkness will only be just beginning.

    I watched the Madison Square Garden speeches last night.

    What a cesspool of stupid.

    They meant it to be like a wrestling event.

    This is the basest politics.

    You think these people have any wisdom and quality?

    I know exactly what Marcus would do.

    I’ve spent years with Marcus, as Ryan Holiday has.

    Self mastery is the ONLY game in town bois.

    Hey, if you think so little of me, so be it.

    I only hold up a mirror 🪞 and I am only half serious.

    The force is my ally and a powerful ally it is.

    I laid the whole thing out.

    I have traced their philosophy.

    This is deep powerful stuff.

    Beyond any one muppet.

    It’s not about policy AT ALL.

    While your vote won’t matter in the play really, it will matter for you.

    No one is really a liberal or conservative a democrat or republican.

    People are single issue voters really.

    So this system gave Trump and Elon and Peter their rise and instead of loving what gave them power, they say it’s garbage.

    That’s political shit of course, but consider that.

    America is meant to birth the evolving consciousness.

    The light and darkness will alway be intertwined and dependent on one another.

    But from Cold Mountain, it is clear what is happening.

    I’m a patriot.

    I stand with Adams and Ben.

    Trump couldn’t touch John Adams, probably one of the wisest leaders of all time.

    I’m in good company.

    I’ll gladly hang with them.

    Now shoo.

    I can only speak for myself.

    It ain’t that one changes.

    Awareness relaxes us.

    The Daimon works us up.

    Emotions and thoughts cloud the field.

    When you calm down with no thought or desire, you are as you are.

    So what changes really?

    Just what thoughts and feelings we attach to.

    Nothing really changes.

    But it goes much easier during the storms of soul when we pull in the anchors holding us back.

    Immediately then it is less difficult.

    The storms don’t go away, but we can become much better sailors of our souls.

    We can develop skills and route around neurological traumas.

    We can heal our wounds.

    Me might lose an arm or leg, but we survive.

    We can learn to fly.

    Then we make our way above the clouds.

    If you are ever up there, stop by Cold Mountain and see me.

    I’ve been spending too much time back on the sea.

    I’m flying back to my perch as we speak.

    Hey dude.

    I know.


    But a man can truly change can't he?

    He can expand his small mind.


    If he does his best...

    Ours is a game of hide and seek.

    No, no one can change.

    Not at our root.

    Nothing real ever changes.

    That’s why we created this world, to simulate change.

    We can only be revealed, to ourselves and then the world.

    We can only relax and let go.

    The matter part of us changes all the time.

    We can transmute matter.

    Hermann Hesse in Siddhartha explores the concept of a persistent essence that undergoes revelation rather than transformation.

    One of my favorite books.

    Similarly, Carl Jung in psychology theorized that the “self” reveals itself over time through the process of individuation, where the layers of identity are peeled back to reveal a core.

    I didn’t change, who I AM was revealed.

    Weird fiction from the turn of the century is some of my fav.

    The Green Face 🤢 is really cool.
