RE: "Thrive" is amazing must watch! - Namaste - 12-08-2011 There is a fine line between indifference and compassion. Wanting to help someone for the 'better' is part of third density; opening the heart. It's how you balance. Quote:Questioner: I am going to make a statement and ask you to comment on its degree of accuracy. I am assuming that the balanced entity would not be swayed either towards positive or negative emotions by any situation which he might confront. By remaining unemotional in any situation, the balanced entity may clearly discern the appropriate and necessary responses in harmony with the Law of One for each situation. Is this correct? To choose indifference (and yet be intolerant to many people and their actions), and to tell one's self it's love/wisdom, is self delusion. One has to engage in these emotions in which to become truly balanced. Identifying with what one would deem 'better' for all is the keystone for service to others. From there one can truly balance, as Ra states above. Avoiding that choice by not wanting to 'label' is an incarnation wasted. In my opinion, of course :¬) RE: "Thrive" is amazing must watch! - zenmaster - 12-08-2011 (12-08-2011, 07:11 AM)Namaste Wrote: Identifying with what one would deem 'better' for all is the keystone for service to others.Identifying like Hitler did? Identification or belief in some idea or way itself does not necessarily have a basis in 'living from the heart'. Most often, it's in the form of an idea attachment which obviously promotes separation. I wonder how you would say such separation is a 'service to others'. As we know, sincerely believing that one is promoting their identifications in a positive manner, one that is 'service to others', may easily be as a road to hell paved with good intentions. Don't you think there's an important distinction between some belief seeming to be 'service to others' and something actually promoting that 'polarity'. "The peoples of Maldek had a civilization somewhat similar to that of the societal complex known to you as Atlantis in that it gained much technological information and used it without care for the preservation of their sphere following to a majority extent the complex of thought, ideas, and actions which you may associate with your so-called negative polarity or the service to self. This was, however, for the most part, couched in a sincere belief/thought structure which seemed to the perception of the mind/body complexes of this sphere to be positive and of service to others."

Or Ghandi, Jesus, Mother Teresa, Tesla etc. You seem to forget that third density is not the density of understanding, it's for experience. Those who are naturally compassionate will offer their help to others, in the way they think is fit. Those who are naturally selfish will do the same, but for the own benefit. Thats the point of this density. You're well within your rights to choose to do nothing in a place of indifference. Others are well within their rights to act in ways they think helps others, and do help others. Others are free to act selfishly for their own good. It's all catalyst, it's all experience. Take away the experience, or action, and this density would lose it's value.

The idea of 3D not being a place for understanding is related to identification with some notion of knowing something as it is.

Our patterns of behavior are reinforced, opportunity for harmony and learning is provided by an 'understanding' - cultural, personal, etc. And there are certainly 'misunderstandings' which when eventually understood and accepted, remove 'blockages'. The zealotry and exaggeration, applied to whatever cause, are often completely accepted as evidence of a 'positive' understanding, when in fact it's an indication of confused imbalance. Such a position is an example of lack of honesty and overextension of actual experience which is, of course, damaging. It should be obvious that conspiracy theories are spawned by compelling ideas of possibility (freedom, health, etc) which have been 'taken away' by some headless group. Social balance starts with individual balance, not with such ungrounded detachments.

Social balance starts with individual balance, not with such ungrounded detachments. I basically agree with your first, second, and fourth sentences above. However, wouldn't it be fair to say that Ra believes in conspiracies? Quote:11.19 Questioner: Can you name any names that may be known on the planet that are recipients of the crusaders’ efforts? Quote:8.11 Questioner: Would this type of craft come close to solving many of the energy problems as far as transport goes? I don't think there can be any question that there are many conspiracies designed to increase the power of the few at the expense of the many. That is a basic aspect of service-to-self work at this time. The question is what the most appropriate response to that reality is, and there I agree that meditation, balancing, and working with catalyst are essential and fundamental. For me, Ra's casual acknowledgment that a technological breakthrough is possible (indeed, has already been achieved) increased my awareness of our potential. Focusing on who is denying us that potential is not necessarily helpful, but awareness of the potential may be, especially if it encourages inventors, engineers, scientists, and theorists to push beyond the limits of the current conventional wisdom.

My position with respect to conspiracies has never been that they don't exist, or that they somehow should not be investigated. It's when one takes a particular conspiracy idea which is merely seen to be plausible, a possibility, and claim it to be true (historically, currently) and, from such a premise, divisive action to 'correct' the fabricated imbalance is taken - by promoting or acting upon such a fundamental dishonesty. What is morally wrong is the perception that the ends are seen to justify the means in order to fulfill an agenda. The ends are getting people to 'wake up' to some 'now-exposed' reality 'X' using the utterly dishonest vehicle of a guessed or imagined idea. Which of course is made compelling by free-association with and appeal to internal symbols of mystery, power, and transcendence. The needlessly confused premise can not be excused, because there are always real alternatives coming from and bridging to something from actual, less 'tainted', disciplined experience, substantiated, more accepting, balanced and viable.

Somewhere I got the distinct impression that was your position. Quote:It's when one takes a particular conspiracy idea which is merely seen to be plausible, a possibility, and claim it to be true (historically, currently) and, from such a premise, divisive action to 'correct' the fabricated imbalance is taken - by promoting or acting upon such a fundamental dishonesty. There are two kinds of divisive acts. The first is an action against the other (Let's take out the oppressors!) the other is an action for the self (Let's move in a different direction). I actually didn't see any admonition in this particular movie toward the first kind. Gospel of Thomas Wrote:2. Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. [And after they have reigned they will rest.]" Quote:What is morally wrong is the perception that the ends are seen to justify the means in order to fulfill an agenda.

You don't need to answer this, of course, but why choose this specific windmill to tilt at, given all the other examples of dishonesty in service of agendas that are out there?I don't look at it as 'hypocrisy' per se, but more fundamentally, as a theme of dishonesty which, after a long examination could possibly be the single most contributing cause of social disharmony or imbalance here. And, in every case, entirely preventable by each and every person engaging in that behavior, on their own. There are different forms of the dishonesty, one of the more rampant one's is: I see that lying and manipulation is possible and have seen examples of such in action My particular agenda wants to see the idea of X spread. But there also tends to be some frustration, impatience and a generally shortcoming of knowledge of what X is and how it can be beneficial. As I only have a vague apprehension of what X is and how it may be the 'answer'. I suspect that X can not be spread or is being actively suppressed due to lying and manipulation (which could be the case), or merely lack of common interests. But the suspicion is then not enough, a fabricated dynamic - a story, a rumor, is then created to paint a picture or 'frame' the separate, actual situation in such a way that my agenda gains more sympathy. This idea is that, through such promotion tactics, people start thinking along the lines of my view of what is and what could be (based on hearsay and tenuous and vague notions), and and corrective action is taken. That framing tactic alone is morally lacking, and enough to promote confusion, waste of time and energy, and actual solutions from being applied, but it doesn't stop there. The finger is conveniently pointed at some (quite innocent) individual, group, idea, or institution which usually gets the blame whether or not there is sufficient evidence. If the so-called wanderers are doing this, then how again is that raising the planetary vibrations?

I'm curious to know if you would consider this following story a "fabricated dynamic". Particularly since you previously recommended for me to read it. Would you consider this all BS? Or? Also I find it quite curious as this story that is being told here is of a high congruence with what I previously thought to be the case, having already arrived at similar conclusions via various disparate sources before I had even ever read this. I wonder how that could be? What do you think? Just confirmation bias?

She said there was a group of people who had power and we not elected who decided a long time ago that a crisis was coming that they could not control (im paraphrasing her words for simplicity). She said that they made plans long ago to build installations underground because there was a percieved threat to them and that they were building "just to be safe".

I see. I must have not got to that part but... does Fore explain why this woman would take great pains to deceive him repeatedly over the course of 20-30 years. It just seems a little egocentric for him to think a being of her intelligence level would bother with him to such a degree. You also didn't respond to the second part of my reply. No comment on how somebody like me might arrive at the same ideas this Pleiadian woman was offering. Perhaps they are abducting me and feeding me these same lies? What would be the purpose in that? And what about the things that Fore was able to independently verify? Doesn't that give the woman any credibility on the rest? Or shouldn't people speak of anything unless they are carrying physical proof with them to back up their claims? Maybe there is something later on which will change my perspective... but so far Fore seems to me like your garden-variety ego who thinks they are being "clever" by being dubious and mistrustful of others. Particularly those who are actually looking out for, and caring for him. Interesting psychology there. I really don't understand what your perspective is on this. It would probably improve communication if you came out with it all at once rather than in bits and pieces. As you well know- offering your view in bits and pieces is going to result in the tendency of others to fill in the blanks with their own projections. That probably isn't a good thing for communication. (12-11-2011, 07:16 AM)_X7 Wrote: Wow.... I'm surprised that the film of this thread is judged on a basis of a deep life-changer for the public.

To see what can been seen. Yes, I was surprised as well. I didn't see anybody in this thread claiming that the "Thrive Movement" was going to change the world. Yet some seem to be arguing against it that way. Interestingly, I have seen zenmaster forward arguments that movies like this are basically ineffectual, then later claims that they are actually harmful to society and slow the process of true spiritual growth. It seems to me like it would be one or the other, but not both. At any rate... considering how many Americans will spend the most of today watching large men in colored tights chase a pig skin around a large field of grass while surrounded by tens of thousands of screaming idiots... I have a really hard time seeing how movies like "Thrive!" are the REAL problem as far as society goes.

My take on the matter is that it's a complicated situation. I've read the entire thread (you can see my comments therein), we've had IM discussions. '4D' thinking is so far beyond what we are used to that it's not possible to see an actual 'agenda' (as if our 3D notion of 'agenda' is even applicable?) and we are almost always 'wrong' in interpreting motive - hence the disinfo which I keep bringing up at this time. We do not 'strategize' like they do. There is the surface story and there are deeper elements at work.

In short, no, I do not consider his narration of his experiences fabricated at all. He does have some 'ability', but not sure to what extent. What he is relating, however is a subjective experience and what he says he's been told is, of course, open to interpretation. And he repeatedly says as much, questioning his own thoughts. I believe he's being fairly objective in telling his story - but hey, as he relates, he's been educated or 'trained', almost like an experiment. How could such a special situation be allowed when it seems like a free-will abridgment?

As I said, the goal is obviously to paint a picture, to stir emotions and anchor transcendent concepts to them. Where they do suggest 'free energy', they have stooped to bringing on outspoken conspiracy people who incorporate a consequentialist (immoral) agenda - that's 'negative'. As far as I can tell, Greer's organization will promote disinfo if it serves their ends. As you can plainly see, they did a 180 on the alleged, secret, insider-info United Nations UFO meeting attended by basically all nations. First denied by him as BS, then fully embraced (once it was determined to be completely unfalsifiable no doubt). If you followed that particular story a few years ago, you'd see how it evolved in response to probing, in order to create something seemingly plausible. Vallée also saw right through it. As you may know, Greer believes ET contact has been and is of a positive nature - that's not as in 'looking on the bright side', he doesn't believe negative exists at that level.

There are conspiracies nested within conspiracies nested within conspiracies. I assume at the "highest" level of it all, it turns out that the negative entities were being put to good use all along. Hence the rapid switch from negative to positive in early 6D. But getting back to Thrive... basically it says that the governments of the world answer to transnational corporations, who answer to energy companies, who answer to central banks. I don't see what is so dubious about these claims. As for the "why" or the motive... it doesn't really suggest anything one way or another. According to my understanding, the motive is based on the idea that if humanity had free energy, we would continue to breed out of control and destroy the planet. Also, governments are scared (perhaps rightly so) that some whack-job with a tabletop free energy device would use it for destructive purposes. As for "why" the Logos and Crew "allow" the suppression of technology by the negative elite, it is precisely because their fears are correct. At least until humanity reaches a certain level of spiritual awareness. It would appear we are nearly approaching- or even have now crossed- that threshold. Quote: How could such a special situation be allowed when it seems like a free-will abridgment? Sounds like typical Wanderer stuff to me. I've got a whole book of similar stories here called The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth by Dolores Cannon. It is chock-full of similar stories acquired through hypnosis... especially about how physical life is viewed from the "other side". There are many pieces in that book that also corroborate what this Pleiadian woman was relating to Fore. Not just Pleiadians though... all manner of different types of beings are basically telling the same story. If they are all wrong, and trying to trick us, I mean WOW that has got to be the biggest conspiracy of all eternity. The whole galaxy is in on it!

Our devices and machines, which use electricity, are not superconductors. There would be a huge security problem, since most of the limiting factors for weapons delivery have to do with cost and engineering of the power source. And of course, the possible weapons themselves. It may just be a 'good idea' that such tech is withheld at this time when we could die rather quickly as a direct consequence of its dissemination.

Last time I really checked into the ET scene was the 27 Sep 10 press conference where: Quote:Six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will break their silence about these events [shutdown of nuclear weapons by ETs] at the National Press Club and urge the government to publicly confirm their reality.

According to DC (whose view I most align with at this moment) there are all manner of various ET factions with different takes on the matter. They all think they are doing the "right thing". Some of them just have less regard for the free will of humans. This is because we have detonated nuclear weapons, and some are planning to do it again. Otherwise, they would leave us be to mind our own business. So it is actually HUMANITY that has infringed on the free will of other civilizations by our ignorant use of nuclear weaponry. These are the ones who act toward humans in what we would perceive as "negative" ways. The vast majority of ETs present have responded to "The Call". Except upon arrival, they found that the earth had been quarantined by even "higher" entities who ascribe to a philosophy of strict noninterference. I can only assume Ra is part of this group. Faced with this situation, many of the ETs decided to incarnate physically, in order to make changes from the inside without further eroding free will on the planet. These are what Ra refers to as Wanderers. So what we have is actually a panoply of ET entities at every imaginable level of development. So yes, there are the "4D positive" who are attempting to recruit humans into their "spiritual war". Quote:The fourth density is the only density besides your own which, lacking the wisdom to refrain from battle, sees the necessity of the battle. But the whole point... the point behind the point... is for people to choose. There is nothing "wrong" with making a choice one way or another. The problem is that here on earth we have acquired so much spiritual entropy that very few are choosing at all. Whether positive, negative, neutral, or otherwise. Based on this, I don't agree with your argument that videos like Thrive are "negative" because they are "divisive". That is the point. To get people to choose which reality they want to be a part of. I'm not a Bible thumper... but in light of the greater context of events offered here, I think this enigmatic quote from Jesus makes a lot of sense: Matthew 10:34-36 Wrote:Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to `set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.' And `a man's foes shall be they of his own household.' A similar view is offered in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas: Gospel of Thomas, Verse 16 Wrote:Jesus said, "Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war. RE: "Thrive" is amazing must watch! - Diana - 12-11-2011 I disliked the movie "The Secret," and felt that the messages were too sensationalized and simplistic; and could have caused harm to undiscerning people who came away from it thinking that they could just wish for something and it would fall from heaven. But on the other hand, it did put out into the mainstream the concept that there was more to life than being a victim. In the case of Thrive, however one might disagree with the way it was put together--melodramatic music to engage the emotions for example, which may be thought of as manipulative--it still served to give a vision of a gentler, more productive, and equal way to live (not to say that it was the pinnacle of anything). And I agree with TN that the main points of the controlling elite, corporations and the rest of the hierarchy, are arguably valid.

Yes, like how organized sports reinforce the notion that humans are inherently violent and competitive. Remember about how the false Yahweh genetically manipulated humans so as to become more bellicose?? It supports expression of that. Also how it reinforces the paradigm that there is really nothing more to our existence here... so let's just whoop it up, drink tons of beer, and slap our bellies together when "our team" beats "their team", and pound even more beers if we lose! Yup... that is what life is all about... "winning". Who cares if a few little boys get raped in the process? Bottom line is... if "my team" wins, that makes me a "winner", too. How is that for pre-rational, magical thinking? But whatever you do, don't watch that Thrive video!

Well... the movie doesn't take the "conspiracy" talk any further than the pyramid ponzi scheme operating behind the scenes. Would it have been better to put an upside down pyramid at the top- inhabited by all the orders of highly evolved beings, with the Logos at the highest level transforming even the most heinous of acts into a positive? Maybe so... But you seem to be saying that this movie makes unfounded claims with respect to the controlling elite of the world. You do realize, of course, that the majority of Americans still think the "government" is in charge, right?

Quote:If humanity had free energy, there would be an excess heat problem on a scale beyond imagination. Our devices and machines, which use electricity, are not superconductors. There would be a huge security problem, since most of the limiting factors for weapons delivery have to do with cost and engineering of the power source. And of course, the possible weapons themselves. Actually, we have already taken some steps to address this. For example, there is already technology in development that would allow for small devices to scavenge electromagnetic energy from the air, and even the human body. Student Innovation Transmits Data and Power Wirelessly Through Submarine Hulls Novel Artificial Material Could Facilitate Wireless Power First Self-Powered Device With Wireless Data Transmission Human Gait Could Soon Power Portable Electronics Electricity from the Nose: Engineers Make Power from Human Respiration As for storage and even distribution of the energy... we have made substantial progress on that as well. Nanoparticle Electrode for Batteries Could Make Grid-Scale Power Storage Feasible Quote:ScienceDaily (Nov. 23, 2011) — Stanford researchers have used nanoparticles of a copper compound to develop a high-power battery electrode that is so inexpensive to make, so efficient and so durable that it could be used to build batteries big enough for economical large-scale energy storage on the electrical grid -- something researchers have sought for years. zenmaster Wrote:It may just be a 'good idea' that such tech is withheld at this time when we could die rather quickly as a direct consequence of its dissemination. Maybe it would be for the best if we just ended the experiment? I don't believe this... but there are those groups out there who do. Quote:We haven't. OK. Then, how long shall we wait? It seems to me that, left to their own devices, humans would spend most of their time slaving away for transnational corporations during the week in order to buy trinkets and fancy gadgets, and would be content to spend their weekends drinking beer and watching "the game" on their flatscreen, which they worked a whole month (or more) to be able to afford to purchase with the little green papers that pass for "money" which are left over after the government takes their "fair share". Meanwhile, 3.5 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, and 1 billion of those could quite possibly starve before the end of the year. Meanwhile, a small, but powerful, group of individuals proceeds with their depopulation agendas, and seeking to herd humanity into accepting a system of complete control by a world government with these selfsame individuals at the helm. This is not "conspiracy theory". There are members of the CFR, IMF, BIS, and others who are on public record promoting these agendas. How long shall the rest of the galaxy wait for humanity to pull their heads out of their rears? Forever? According to my understanding, there are hundreds of other civilizations out there that would like to get on with their lives, but instead are caught up in events here on earth due to humanity's exceedingly persistent state of ignorance. For that matter, what about the rest of us who no longer wish to live in this backwater state of affairs? What about our free will? We are humans, too. ![]() But probably the most relevant question is: What do you suppose will actually result in a positive outcome here? If you take such great issue with these "tactics", what would you propose as an alternative? How can humanity get to that place where it is safe to release free energy technology? Quote:Yes, it's typical wanderer stuff. There are many 'contactees'. However, certainly not many with quite that level of detail and involvement. Right. And look what happened with Fore. He even talks about his preincarnative experience where his guardian/teacher/whateveryoucallit thought his life plan was a poor idea. And now here he is... ironically still being mistrustful of those who would watch over his experience here on earth when it didn't turn out so well... as these wiser and more intelligent beings suggested. Yet still... he styles himself as the "clever" one who saw through all their lies and deceit using the power of his skeptical mind. Nevermind that he admits these other beings are both wiser and more intelligent than he... they've got it all wrong. Actually, the more I read of this the more I start to suspect that he is using skepticism as a literary technique, in order to preserve plausible deniability. RE: "Thrive" is amazing must watch! - _X7 - 12-11-2011 Gosh zenmaster, you're opening big cans of worms and over fishing miniature ponds, but all over the place... Yet you are offering much lively energy, perhaps enough enjoyment for folks to actually discuss "free energy". Apparently you assume that many inventors want to energize heat machines with free energy . Yes indeed, that would be a ridiculous outcome, to over heat the planet. However, you miss the goal of many inventors and theorists who rather envision a heat-free energy-system, much akin to the evolution of the light bulb. You also overlook many heat conserving inventions which are smashed or hidden way. A couple examples here are Mr. Mentor's hydraulic drive car and more readily proven by home builders is the "self heating house". Which actually has multiple terms and multiple interesting implimentations. A self heating house is in fact free energy derived by annualizing heat levels. A degree of global heating is absolutely reduced by each such house, instead of using oil sucked through gun barrels or worse.

Sorry, I got through about 5 pages. I'm not going to sift through another 193 in order to find the point. As for a sound logical reason for Fore to believe that this ET woman would sit there and feed him elaborate lies for however many years, I don't see the purpose. STS doesn't operate that way- there is nothing to be gained. At this point, I think Fore is being more than a bit absurd with his droning on about how skeptical he is of this woman. If you ask me, the two of them together seem like a perfect match. I can see why she was assigned to him, and why neither of them likes it. Sounds like they both need to get over themselves to me.

It is easier to make nothing out of something, rather than something out of nothing. Your link asserts: "Energy always degrades into heat". Not necessarily as cumulative heat!!! Radiant cooling of the earth occurs with clear skies, where infra red rays remove heat from the earth's surface. Tesla's example of weather control, managed by the hands of truly loving souls, could ameliorate weather systems and heat imbalances of the globe. Most important is to energize harmonious outcomes which serve the greatest good.... A Youtube without video can serve as an excellent bandwidth saver and helpful convenience besides.

Interesting. I know I used to rail against the idea of "soul contracts" especially with respect to contact/abduction scenarios. I figured it was just some BS used to get people to accept this sort of thing. But my views have been changing on that. Much due to the book by Dolores Cannon I referenced above. Well I guess it probably won't be of much further use to talk about Fore's experiences without his own personal input! But just based on what he shared about his pre-incarnative experiences as well as how differently things look to one when they are not limited by this clunky 3D mind we have- I wonder if he didn't in fact agree to all of this beforehand. I could see myself in a similar pre-incarnative scenario being a bit overconfident in what I thought I could handle. Like taking an attitude that says "Bring it on!" not fully realizing how dense physicality on earth can be. Then getting here and going- "Oh crap. I don't remember signing up for this!"
