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 :

    (This topic is a continuation of Personalism 102).

    Why is there something rather than nothing?  

    Looking at it statistically, the likelihood of nothing is minuscule compared likelihood of anything.  

    However, from the perspective of modern cosmology, the Anthropic Principle tells that universes with observers are extremely rare.

    But, by whose say so, can an unobservable universe be said to exist?  

    A related question is what constitutes an observer?

    What if any role might sapience play in the act of observation?
    ………  


    But this first post is a header post…….. so I will continue in the following post…….

    Any one of us, finding ourselves in a cosmic isolation tank, would go crazy 🤪……. counting flowers 💐 on the wall.

    We hallucinate……. a party 🎉 of imaginary playmates…… we play Pok-a-Tok…… by the hour.

    We dance 🪩 around a campfire 🔥 on the edge of space and time.

    We try to lose ourselves…… into the moment.  

    We try to tell stories to each other.

    We are hungry ghosts 👻.  

    We lose track of who is imagining who.  

    That is the point.

    We communicate by telepathy……. presumably.  

    We try to follow the light 💡…….

    logos….. logos…… who’s got the Logos?  

    There is the talking stick.  

    Where are……. when are….. the unobservable universes?  

    We are the rave in the desert……. it’s all happening here and now.

    Isn’t the campfire 🔥 about to go out……. where is that talking stick?  

    Hey, sports fans, maybe we can play hide and seek in the desert…… in the dark.  

    Who brought the flashlight 🔦?  

    Is this the only game in town?

    You can run, but you can’t hide 🫣.  

    Is this the portal to end all portals…….. or is it to begin all portals?

    It is the portal at the end of the world.  

    Why can’t we declare it to be the Eschaton?

    And who is we, Kimosabe?  

    logos…… logos……

    Alpha = Omega.  

    Where are the childless cat 🐈 ladies?

    We could declare this to be the portal at the beginning of the world.

    This re-Creation is our recreation.  

    Here is where we know ourselves for the first time.  

    The vectors are going to have to converge…….. somewhere…… somewhen…….. someway……..

    Otherwise….. it’s Tsar Bomba…… here we come!  

    Tell me chick 🐣 is wrong 😑…… two or three…… is there anybody else?

    If we build it……. they will come…….

    donny is the only competition.  

    vladdie and jinnie are stuck behind their firewalls.

    Will the devil 😈 take the hindmost?

    And the false messiah is about to lose…….

    We’ll see……. won’t we?  

    The only thing we have to offer is the Logos spermatikos.  

    I’m guessing that three is waiting for Godot.  

    And now we have the battle over who controls the internet 🛜……

    Hmmm……..

    I’m suspecting that the Logos is going to win.  

    I think we’ve had the wind……. the earthquake…… and the fire 🔥…….

    Me……?

    I’m waiting for the next Tasseography meeting 📅.
    ………..


    Ok, we have an update……..

    RP4 is in the employ of three……. that makes a lot more sense.  

    Has RP4 given the small world the time of day?  

    I think he said that three has.

    And, yes, the subject of Tasseography remains open.  

    My YouTube account is being inundated with presentations on immaterialism.

    Is that just a fluke of the algorithm, or is something going on?  

    Does the tipping point draw nigh?  

    Lord, tell me where the folks are going so I can get out ahead of them.  

    When will my beautiful gray lady jump on this bandwagon?  

    Won’t that be ground zero?

    Poor chick 🐣 will be trampled in the stampede.  

    And isn’t that a good thing?  

    Well…….. we still have the small matter of personalism.

    Where will the acronymous agency be placing its bets?  

    Haven’t I been a good little boy?  

    And what about donny?  

    Does he have an iron in the fire 🔥?  
    ………..


    Bring a torch, Jeanette…….

    If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to flash my senior citizen card.  

    I’m looking 👀 for the light 💡.  

    Are we looking in all the wrong 😑 places?  

    three claims to have brought the light…… 47 years ago.  

    And then it was Johnny on the spot.  

    Charlie Misner was less than ecstatic……. when that information was shared…….. it didn’t compute……. still doesn’t!  

    Button, button……. who has the bootstrap.  

    Geoffrey dropped the dime……. at LBNL.  

    It almost 😅 computed…….. but we’re still looking for the missing link.  

    Where’s Johnny when we need him?  

    Will three fess up?

    If I’m not totally mistaken……. I believe that the word ‘discloser’ was used.

    Hey, toro…….

    Is it a poem or a riddle. It depends on whether you play the fiddle. I like to sit in the middle, while I play the fiddle.

    The most difficult phenomenon to explain in Dreamtime is the Sun 🌞.  

    But it’s not that difficult, if you focus…….

    Can we not explain a candle 🕯️?  

    And can we not put the candle in the sky 🌌, and make it a little brighter?  

    See…… a candle would be the first step towards metabolism.  

    Then we turn to Gaston Bachelard and Owen Barfield…….

    We understand that the first thing about dreams is their visual….. sonic aspect.  
    ………


    Speaking of which, who would like to travel to the Osa Peninsula to save the pumas with three?………

    https://www.kashmirworldfoundation.org/rainforest-expedition-25

    It is an open signup.
    …………


    From whence comes the illumination of dreams?  

    From whence comes the heat of the candle 🕯️?

    I have never felt heat in any dream.  

    I’m not sure if I’ve felt cold 🥶…….. unless the blanket slipped off.  

    Even the sensations of touch or pain are not clear.

    But many report experiencing lucid dreams……. dating back to the seventeenth century.  

    No reports of pain or heat while dreaming…… the closest phenomenon entails nocturnal emissions.

    So what is the point of investigating lucidity?

    The point is to understand what if any are the distinctions between waking and dreaming.  

    The point is that the incipient revelation, MoAPS, gestalt switch……. would constitute our awakening from our collective consciousness of our global Metanarrative.  

    Or, to what extent might our collective ‘reality’ simply be…… yet another state of consciousness?  

    Thus may we anticipate the global Opening of the portals at the end of our Metanarrative.  

    Thus may we anticipate the coming of the Kingdom!  

    I have a request into three to approve of my conversing with Adrien on these topics……. in lieu of a more direct communication with three.

    Another way to think about these questions is to consider the Simulation hypothesis.  

    three mentions that there may be an opportunity for me to meet with Adrien next week…….. in Philadelphia.

    Ok, can an immaterialist explain the Sun 🌞?

    As badly or gladly as we can explain ourselves?  

    So, I read Gaston B…… The Poetics of Fire……  

    Gaston points to the mythology and literary entanglements of fire 🔥.  

    We also have fire in sky……. we have vitalism……

    Metabolism is the taming of the Sun.

    We have the Tsar Bomba.

    Metabolism and life have an ultimate Source…..  in the sky…… objectively speaking.  

    But what if there are no objects?  

    Can a subjectivist….  a personalist explain the Sun…… without atoms ⚛, without space.  

    Is there a dreamt Sun that can compare with the waking Sun?

    Explaining a dreamt Moon 🌖 is a relative piece of cake 🍰.  

    Maybe that’s the answer, however.

    We have a fiery Moon……. all we need then is some photosynthesis.

    How do we explain photosynthesis without the photons?  

    How do we explain fire without atoms?  

    How do we explain dreams?

    Gaston doesn’t bother to explain dreams.

    Why is there something?  

    Explaining why there is something is going to be a whole lot trickier, if we don’t have a Big Bang ❗ to fall back on.

    Is it just my You Tube algorithm or do we have a cosmological crisis on our hands?  

    Yes, and Dr Becky is my latest heart throb.  

    If the Big Bang ❗ is imploding, cosmology turns into oneirology.

    The aborigines have a lead with their almost historical Dreamtime Walkabouts.  

    And now I’m hearing that Adrien C might not be my best Wiseman interlocutor.

    Dream, dream 😴 …..   who’s got the Dream…… to capture all dreams?  

    Dream catcher…….. dream weaver……
    They say that the tree of loving shine on me again
    They say it grows on the bank of the river of suffering
    Shine on me again……

    I've seen the steel and the concrete crumble
    Shine on me again
    The proud and the mighty all are stumbled
    Shine on me again …..  
    ……….


    The Dream Catcher is our logically primordial quantum observer.

    Pratityasamutpada style, she imagines the best possible world into existence, along with her imaginary playmates.  

    This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but it makes more sense than anything else.

    Think of Bostrom’s brain-mind in a vat bootstrapping itself into existence.

    It makes a lot more sense than the Big Bang ❗.

    And where does the (imaginary?) energy come from?  

    It comes from the logical necessity of there being something…… rather than nothing.  

    Where does vacuum energy come from?  

    All of this is occurring……. sub specie aeternitatis.

    Where does all the space and time come from?

    Clearly it emerges out of our Metanarrative……… our collective unconscious.

    If there can be a primordial spark ⚡ of consciousness…… everything else is just a ‘slight’ elaboration.

    All you have to do is convince yourself that Nothingness makes even less sense.

    And why should a primordial-spontaneous spark of consciousness not make sense?  

    Might that not make more sense than the Big Bang ❗?  

    Keep in mind that the unlikelihood of Big Bang is measured by the Penrose number…… one chance in 10^10^123.  

    The likelihood of a spontaneous brain 🧠 in vat is much greater than that!  

    In the process of figuring out the likelihood a of rock 🪨 spontaneously emerging……… we might wonder how to compare that possibility with the possibility of a witnessed flash of red.  

    Are animals conscious?  

    Are they self aware?  

    I would say no to the latter.  

    But does self awareness not have a bearing on the intensity of pain sensation?  

    Self awareness must include some sense of the potentiality of the mind…….. of the imagination……. of the possibility of other beings.

    I’m simply suggesting that self awareness is necessarily transpersonal…… transcendental……. cosmic.

    If Pratityasamutpada comes in anywhere, it would come in on the logical ground floor.

    So, yes, the BPW must already be a gleam in the eye 👁️ of the primordial Self.

    We have all Eternity for a cosmic Self consciousness to emerge.

    Nothing less could register ontologically.

    Unobservable universes don’t register……. anywhere.

    The only thing that can exist………. must exist.  

    Does this then mean that every pebble is exactly in its necessary location at every moment……. that there is no leeway……. no wiggle room?  

    If this were not the case……. there is nothing to prevent multiple worlds.
    ……..


    This can’t be right……..

    The only real pebble is the perceived pebble.

    The only perceived pebble is the remembered pebble.  

    Is there any action by any person that is excluded from the Metanarrative?  

    Any memory that is excluded from the akashic record?  

    Every moment is a microcosm.  

    There is only one moment, with one person, in one cosmos…… kaleidoscopically ramified.  

    That one moment is prismatically multiplied.

    This is the seminal word……… the mirrors abound.

    May this not be repeated?  

    It is, of course…….. 10^10 times!

    And all of this is contained in every one of our souls.

    It’s all part of the best possible bootstrap.

    We are each a pearl on Indra’s necklace…… each one reflects all the others.

    The internet 🛜 is reflection of this simple fact.

    With the opening of the portals, we are returning to the Source……. to the One.

    Consciousness is quite an embarrassment to modernity.

    It is incredible, the lengths to which we go to deny the mind.

    A particularly egregious example is the interview of Sean Carroll by Robert Kuhn.  He makes Robert look dumb.

    In general, Robert is much too solicitous and tolerant toward scientism.  

    That’s how he gets so many academics to participate.  
    …………


    Please understand, folks, that in no world is there any aspect of reality that does not come under the Cosmic aegis.

    Even, or especially, in a Darwinian world there is a reason for everything.

    If God didn’t love materialists, she wouldn’t have made so many of them - us.   

    I happen to believe that some materialists knowingly conspire against the Truth.

    The best possible world is the some total of all conspiracies ever imagined.

    The more we love our neighbors, the quicker we leave purgatory.

    All love is Self love…….. ultimately.

    We try to punish bad people.  

    There are folks who cannot grasp love.  

    All the more for the rest of us.  

    donny appears to be one of those.

    The shepherd spends most time chasing the lost sheep.

    Sean Carroll is an example to all of us who may be more fortunate.
    …………


    So how do we make atoms ⚛?

    About the same way we make babies.

    The how follows from the why…….. and where there is a will…..

    Yes, folks are finding that idealism is the only thing that makes a lick tongue of sense.

    Where most everyone goes off the rails is with subjective idealism.

    The only way to stay on the rails is with inter subjective idealism.  

    Historically, the royal road to inter subjective idealism is to be a jesus freak.  

    Yes, historically, it is a rather narrow path to the Truth.  

    What can we say…….. get over it….. get used to it.  

    The narrowness of the path is the reason that we’re still here.  

    The Katechon was designed to withstand the tests of time.

    The BPWH was designed to withstand the tests of time.  

    Modern materialism……. technology and all the rest was our necessary final distraction……. and what a distraction it has been!!

    But all good things must end…… including, especially, the best possible, personal, world.  

    We’ve had all eternity to put together the best possible Eschaton…… and we aim to please!  

    You aim, too, please!!

    What more is there to say?  

    How much simpler can it get?  
    ………..


    I’m glad to see that Aaron is reappearing on the blog.

    After all, it’s be here or be square.

    Without fear of public contention, I’m happy to declare OMF to be ground zero for the Eschaton.

    Our nearest competition is with the Princess or with the Vatican.

    And neither of them is showing the slightest intention to make a move off of the block.

    Let it be known that Aaron has been in communication with three for about a decade……… more power.

    Beyond that, I barely know his backstory.

    Well, at one point, he and his brother were out chasing ufo 🛸 s, in the vicinity of Trinity Flats……. and that’s not nothing!

    Let’s see if we can get a rise out of ak.
    …….

    Poor BBL,

    He is so near……. yet so far.  

    He has had zero contact with Quakers.

    There is that of the One in every one of us.
    ………


    I was in the process of pointing out that Aaron and Serod have three young daughters. The two met while he was on assignment in Mongolia 🇲🇳.

    BBL, keeps interposing…….

    The Princess holds the key to the Eschaton.

    She with the stalwart heart ♥.

    The chick, by comparison, is much too vulnerable to blandishments.

    I can do the talking.

    She does the walking.

    Time is short, it slips,
    Like dusk fading into night,
    Moments drift away.

    All one can do is make themselves as receptive as possible.

    I can’t influence the end of the world, but I can develop myself to stand no matter what is happening.

    This is the task for every muppet.

    The only real one.

    Good luck muppets.

    Yes, we are at a moment of maximum participation—a spectral juncture where the veil between past, present, and future seems to be thinning.

    The beginning of the age of Aquarius as it were

    If anything, it will be one hell of a ride and it's only going to get wierder

    McKenna was profetic

    "The level of contradiction is going to rise excruciatingly, even beyond the excruciating present levels of contradiction.

    So, between now and 2012, the next 14 years, I look for: the invention of artificial life, the cloning of human beings, possible contact with extraterrestrials, possible human immortality, and at the same time, appalling acts of brutality, genocide, race baiting, homophobia, famine, starvation; because the systems which are in place to keep the world sane are utterly inadequate to the forces that have been unleashed.

    The mushroom said to me once, it said: “This is what it's like when a species prepares to depart for the stars.” You don't depart for the stars under calm and orderly conditions; it's a fire in a madhouse, and that's what we have, the fire in the madhouse at the end of time. This is what it's like when a species prepares to move on to the next dimension. The entire destiny of all life on the planet is tied up in this; we are not acting for ourselves, or from ourselves; we happen to be the point species on a transformation that will affect every living organism on this planet at its conclusion."

    Hmm, I think he was onto something

    the plants spoke to him

    the fungus among us can be a window

    I dabbled

    I got the message

    I hung up the phone

    went back to ordinary life

    I have found what I love the most is the ordinary daily grind really

    Wake up, go to work, come home, dinner with the pack, sleep, weekends, yardwork, recreation

    that's some good shit baby!

    most want an escape from the ordinary

    they don't know the only way out is through

    what can one do but laugh at the predicament

    Smile like a lunatic in a garden of wildfires

    ear to fucking ear baby!



    Gurdjieff's ideas on awakening and the evolutionary potential of man converge with the cybernetic acceleration proposed by thinkers like Nick Land

    What we are witnessing is not merely a technological transition but an ontological shift—what Jorjani might term the advent of the "Spectral Revolution."

    the spectral revoltion will undoubtedly be apocalyptic, but it must be understood in its original Greek sense: an unveiling

    The apocalypse is not the end of all things, but the revelation of the hidden structure of reality

    It is both the destruction of the old order and the birth of something new, something more integral to our Promethean potential, if you will

    What exactly IT is cannot be fully conceptualized as it is a fluid living process of self unveiling manifest

    through us and the technologies we develop and integrate and utlimately what we do with what we have and the technologies we develop

    What we are standing on the precipice of is not only an apocalyptic shift but a Promethean rebirth

    The open question is whether we are ready to embrace this terrifying, sublime potential

    Afoot and lighthearted we take to the open road (Prometheus)

    carrying our delicious burdens where we go (Atlas)

    The only way to face the Spectral Revolution and transformative technologies like AI is by taking the middle path—one that refuses both extremes.

    Not the Luddite approach of retreating into fear and rejecting progress.

    Not the Kurzweilian vision of blind technological transcendence at all costs.

    Instead, the middle way calls for cultivating a philosophical framework that blends the deep wisdom of the past with a forward-thinking openness to new ontological possibilities. This path demands that we embrace a Promethean spirit—bold, creative, and willing to push beyond the limits of convention.

    We must avoid, on one hand, becoming passive subjects swept away by technological forces beyond our control, and on the other, halting progress entirely to retreat into a more primitive state.

    Both extremes are a death blow to our Promethean heritage. The former would rob us of our agency, leaving us subservient to forces we no longer shape, while the latter would deny humanity's inherent drive to challenge boundaries, redefine existence, and create new futures.

    In this sense I feel Jorjani is on point

    The true path forward is one where we actively participate in shaping our technological destiny, channeling our creative powers in harmony with both the wisdom of tradition and the possibilities of a transformed reality.

    This middle way is not only a safeguard for our humanity but also the only route to fully realizing the potential of our species in the face of the unknown I feel

    For Hart, reality is neither a mere projection of pure consciousness or collection of mental impressions, inhering in no material substrate, (in the way of traditional idealism) nor an indifferent material realm (materialism).

    Instead, it’s an interwoven, participatory space where human consciousness co-creates reality

    Similarly, Jorjani’s proposal for facing the Singularity calls for a deep, responsible engagement with technology and AI as reality-transforming participatory forces

    Hart’s vision supports Jorjani’s Promethean ethic by suggesting that as we engage with technologies like AI, we aren't merely observing or utilizing them; we are participating in their unfolding and, through them, in reality’s transformation itself

    Yall fight amongst yourselves while everyone who matters hates your guts.


    Come on boiz.

    You're better than this.

    ak is right.


    JASON'S  Spectral Revolution is indistinguishable from Dan's Eschaton.

    The Black Lodge wrote:    However, this eschaton conspiracy is being orchestrated by higher powers, and we don’t mean the Committee of 300. Very few of the people even near the center of the orchestration have a clear picture of what is coming down, but they do know that something is coming and that they will have front row seats. The Manhattan Project relative to the eschaton is a global civilian network of people who will serve as a lightning rod for the cosmic energies coming in during the consciousness revolution. They will be looking to channel these energies into expanded realities. Thus, they will provide a degree of protection for those people who can find their places alongside the network. Outside of the network there will be greater levels of trauma and confusion. The pieces of the network are already in place, the remaining task is to properly activate and link the pieces into a critical mass of awareness. This last step is now underway. This is how an Aviary helps to spawn an Aquarium, and how birds learn to swim. The Aquarium is our business, and we are working to reach people who are ready to be activated in the consciousness revolution."

    And there is nothing coherent about that...

    Yes, Aaron outdid himself.

    He is still talking about progress.

    We are about to commence our journey home……. to be one with the One.

    Folks have a really hard time grasping the small world.
