Law of One Society - leorenzzo - 06-08-2015 We invite all light seekers to have a look at our new website: www.lawofonesociety.com. This is a website solely for the study of the Law of One. A site where members are able to connect with users locally/globally by placing their location markers on an interactive map. This also enables each member to create a local group and meet up with seekers of similar mind-frame to discuss the Law of One and Spiritual Growth. Please check out the site and spread the word, Love & Light. PS: You can also tell us if anything needs improving or not working properly. RE: Law of One Society - Namaste - 06-09-2015 Nice work, looks good! RE: Law of One Society - Matt1 - 06-09-2015 Seems like a decent website, but isn't this what we already have here?

"We know what particles are now, what's the point searching further?" "Facebook? Sounds cool, but we already have MySpace." This particular mindset is one of contraction, not expansion. RE: Law of One Society - leorenzzo - 06-09-2015 Well, Lawofonesociety.com is somewhat the same but there's a major difference, which is the ability for users/members to create a Local Group and meet up with seekers in their respective areas. For example, I live in Croydon, London (UK) and I would really like to connect/meet with seekers in my area, not only virtually but on a face-to-face level to share ideas, knowledge and experiences. Our site allows you to do this quite easily with the use of our "Seeker 'interactive' Map" From my understanding, meeting people face-to-face have more energy potency when doing Light work, even according to Ra (can't remember which part of the Ra material but I'll try and find it). With a reply from L/L Research, our idea is like LL's 'Homecoming' gathering every year, but ours being encouraged on a daily, weekly or monthly basis (occurrence of meetings is up to the group's members/administrators) Also, the site is built with Social Networking in mind, and with many other similar sites, students usually have to sieve through many pages of other materials before getting to the Law of One material. But our site is geared only towards the study of the Law of One and nothing else. Hope I've somewhat explained what the site is all about, but do not hesitate to ask any further question that you may have. We thank you, in Love & Light.

RE: Law of One Society - Jim Kent + - 06-09-2015 Greetings Leorenzzo, As I understand it, bring4th.org was created with two missions, firstly to create more of an online presence for L/L and to generate income for L/L. I can see that by creating your website, you are contributing to increasing L/L's online presence, and I applaud you for that... But what about generating more income for L/L? I cannot see a place on your site where you link to L/L's store, and would therefore suggest that this is an important missing piece as your site stands currently. I you do link to L/L's store and I missed it, then please accept my apologies and disregard my comments. L & L Jim RE: Law of One Society - Steppingfeet - 06-09-2015 (06-09-2015, 11:28 AM)Jim Kent + Wrote: Greetings Leorenzzo, Hey Jim! Quick refinement to your thoughts regarding the purpose and nature of Bring4th. Carla had this idea of "spiritual activism" which would more fully engage L/L Research in the online world, expanding the mission from the passive standpoint of the archive website to a more active standpoint of Bring4th. That active outreach was principally intended for one overarching function: to help lighten the vibrations of planet Earth and to serve spiritual seekers. How best to achieve that? By helping spiritual seekers to connect with one another. That's been and become the primary aim of Bring4th: to help the often isolated spirituals seeker who enjoys this information to connect with others of like heart. The concept of "spiritual activism" (as mentioned on the Bring4th home page) hasn't really been invoked since the website first launched over seven years ago. The online store, on the other hand, was indeed created to help raise revenue. And fortunately with its launch in 2008, Jim and Carla were freed for the first time in L/L's history from funding the organization out of their own pockets. Something about the added convenience of allowing people to order books and donate online raised just enough to keep the balance in the black. Bring4th as a whole, however, was not created to raise revenue. So far as we aware, this website does not generate money. : ) Thank you for your love. ![]() Leorenzzo, good luck with your team's noble desires to help connect and serve spiritual seekers! I hope you achieve the highest and best of your intentions. We've linked to your website from the Linkshare page on Bring4th.

Please take a moment to look at the front/homepage, on the left-hand side, under 'Menu' link (at the bottom), there's a link there to your site there (labelled L/L Research). Also, on the right-hand side (homepage as well), where it says 'Love & Light' (under the Login form) you'll find another link there. Another link is also placed under our 'Spiritual link Partners' page here: http://lawofonesociety.com/index.php/about/spiritual-link-partners/index Hope those links are sufficient, but feel free to contact us if it's not. Much appreciation. Love & Light RE: Law of One Society - Jim Kent + - 06-09-2015 Greetings Gary and Leorenzzo, It seems that I got that one completely wrong! Oops! Sorry! L & L Jim RE: Law of One Society - isis - 06-09-2015 I think the website looks *incredibly* sketchy. 1st red flag: On the front page there's links to "download" the the Law of One from lawofonesociety.com rather than just a link to read it at lawofone.info. 2nd red flag: On the front page I clicked where it said "Carla L. Rueckert" then it tells me: Carla L. Rueckert, beloved co-founder of and fearless channel for L/L Research, has made her journey home. If you would like to attend her funeral service or send your loving thoughts to her husband Jim McCarty and L/L Research, please click here. Note to leorenzzo: They already had the funeral. 3rd red flag: I click where it says "Forum" then I see stuff like this: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla dapibus sapien vel mauris viverra quis euismod dui tincidunt. Phasellus laoreet mattis est, eu vulputate sapien suscipit ac. Vestibulum porttitor justo a est elementum luctus. Nulla ac pharetra nulla. Quisque metus orci, cursus at sollicitudin sit." Check it out: http://www.lawofonesociety.com/index.php/members/forum I'm sure I could find more red flags if I kept looking but I don't have time for that.

You're more than welcome to continue to check the site for things that we've missed (if/when you have the time). This is not a personal project, but a platform for ALL.

Hey Leorenzzo, I saw this when you first posted it, just wanted to wait and make sure it wasn't anything sketch. Thank you Isis for the warning as well, it ultimately led me to check out the site just by seeing your reply to her being as calm as it was. Then seeing GLB remark as amazingly as he did. This site looks like immense potential waiting to explode, I'm going to explore it quite much. But while I'm at it, in Chrome on Win8 here, your About Me>Law of One Society>Law of One Society page only gives me an option to filter out (no) results. Very first thing I clicked ![]() I'll definitely let you know of any issues, but while you're at it, a Bug Reporting Tool on the site's header being available to Members might aid you all in finding some things faster than waiting for replies on a forum, or even an email on the front page asking for any bugs to be emailed to you. I'd look into moderating for your site but I'm going to wait on that and get to know the site before any of that. Leorenzzo, is there anything specific you'd like to know or ask about the site? Do you have a group working on it or is it just you? Do you need any help in specific areas? I know you list them on the site itself, but throwing that stuff down here is still an aid to you as anyone going into the site through here will be aware of anything that may surprise them if they don't look under the About tab, such as a glitch or bug here and there. It also helps you so that you won't get the same thing reported to you again and again and again potentially. Which makes me think you might want to make a list of changes or updates made to the site somewhere on the site. http://www.lawofonesociety.com/index.php/2012-02-08-15-44-06 Your Cookies page is titled Copyright. The Arrows at the bottom also do not work in a linear fashion unless the jump from the Terms of Use page to http://www.lawofonesociety.com/index.php/the-law-of-one/discussion 'Law of Unity' page was intentional. The URL's you probably are already aware of are dated rather than named, and being only you said 2 months old, the date is apparently 3 years ago lol RE: Law of One Society - leorenzzo - 06-10-2015 (06-10-2015, 11:18 AM)isis Wrote:(06-09-2015, 08:02 PM)leorenzzo Wrote: The link is now fixed and pointing to the right web page as it should. Your comments are being dealt with below: http://www.lawofonesociety.com/index.php/members/forum link Explaining this technically, the forum/discussion software we're currently using is not a standalone software that can be linked directly to a menu i.e. "Forum", but rather it's a software that can be seen when users creates a group, and any discussions about various topics can be had there. So this is why we've linked it as such. Indeed, the our initial approach was to have a standalone 'forum' software such as this one we use on Bring4th but with no luck (as yet), so we had to revert to the second option/Plan B of linking the menu to the internal discussion software instead, pretty straight-forward stuff. As per moderators, and as it stands... the Group's founder/creator will moderate the chat threads. The overall chat will be monitored by Admin to avoid abuse. In a way, there will be two types of moderators in the future; the type that monitors Group discussions (as it currently stands) and the type that will monitor our future 'standalone' Forum, which will be introduced when we get the right software for the task. In summary, there's possibility that we will have two types of forums on the site eventually i.e. the one being used at the moment and a standalone version (similar to this one on Bring4th) will be introduced as the site grows and the right software sought. For now, what we have on the site should suffice for the time being. Plus, it seems you copy/pasted the majority of that how to become a moderator text from this site: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/become-website-moderator-46570.html Well, it seems you've been busy with plagiarising software or Google or Search Engines in general Look, all we are doing is write a page that's congruent to the topic displayed on the page. If we initially have to borrow few words here and there and use it as an inspiration/benchmark (which is not a unique phenomenon) from websites that discusses the same subject, this to us will suffice for the groundwork, so to speak. It's quite ironic, when we have a webpage with funny 'gibberish' place-holders on it with no contents it's a problem, and when we have another page with borrowed inspiration, it's considered to be copied and frown upon. It seems we can't win either way, but we'll continue to strive forward regardless. But as mentioned in our previous replies, this is a new website and it's expected to grow in time. One day, we will have content writers, coders, moderators who are chiefly aligned to serve others and make the Law of One material more accessible to the masses or to wider audience. & I noticed your "Ra's Quotes" section was copy/pasted from Lawofone.info ...is that even allowed? Where else do you want us to get Ra's quote from if not from the source itself my friend? (i.e. Lawofone.info) Yes, it's allowed... Ra quotes (and the Law of One material with certain limitation/parameters as per L/L Research Terms) is encouraged to be shared with seekers. Also, permission was already sought from L/L Research, and I'm sure Ra won't mind us using these quotes and spreading the words to wider audience. Don't worry my friend, I've spoken to Ra myself and told me it's fine How do you figure? All you did was remove the part about 'click here to attend Carla's funeral' To be honest, I'm not really sure what the issue is here? Carla is a huge influence, and a great human being that deserves a space in our hearts, and on our website to let people know who she is, what's she's done and that she's no longer with us. Without her effort and love of service, I don't think me and you will be having this conversation today. From our opinion, she deserves an epitaph on our website, and if it's left up to me, I will place her picture in every corner of the site. She will eventually have a special page on our website to highlight the lovely person that she was, her life and the wonderful work she's done. Also, not everyone knows who she was, and am sure people that's new to the Law of One deserves to know this wonderful person. You didn't address the fact that it's suspicious to have links to download the Law of One from your site when you could just link to lawofone.info to read it... Hmmm, hope I understand you fully and I'll explain to the best of my ability... To explain this to you in a nutshell without getting too technical... the Law of One material is actually being siphoned directly from Lawofone.info website, but 'visually' displayed on our website to the user. When the user reads/download from our website, it' actually being done through lawofone.info website but on a software level. To the user like yourself, it would seem that we are hosting the documents, but this is not the case and it's somewhat hard to explain this to you technically without bamboozling you further but it's a special software that allows us to perform this illusion. In fact, we are still in talk with L/L Research about how it all works, so we understand if you don't fully get it (or believe it for that matter). So my friend, it is what is. You didn't fix the link to the forum like you claimed - you just got rid of it See our explanation above. Be calm my friend, the illusive 'forum' is currently hibernating and will come back one day, so the current alternative (or Plan B) should suffice for now in Love & light Law of One Society RE: Law of One Society - βαθμιαίος - 06-10-2015 (06-10-2015, 07:52 PM)leorenzzo Wrote: & I noticed your "Ra's Quotes" section was copy/pasted from Lawofone.info ...is that even allowed?

Thank you Isis for the warning as well, it ultimately led me to check out the site just by seeing your reply to her being as calm as it was. The site (lawofonesociety.com) is for one thing only... it's for the pure study of the Law of One, which aids in Spiritual Growth/Evolution. The site demands nothing from users but aid in getting acquainted with the Ra material on a site that's 100% dedicated to this material without being bombarded with other 'somewhat' irrelevant materials especially to those solely seeking Law of One material. All books are available to view/read/download without being a member. A registration is only required if a user wants to take advantage of the community/social networking side of things. This site looks like immense potential waiting to explode, I'm going to explore it quite much. Yes, glad that you recognise the site's potential, and this is the main aim of making it a one-stop *site dedicated to the Law of One. *Didn't want to refer it as one-stop *shop But while I'm at it, in Chrome on Win8 here, your About Me>Law of One Society>Law of One Society page only gives me an option to filter out (no) results.

I'd look into moderating for your site but I'm going to wait on that and get to know the site before any of that. Not a problem, take your time. Let us know when you're ready to lend a hand Leorenzzo, is there anything specific you'd like to know or ask about the site? Do you have a group working on it or is it just you? Do you need any help in specific areas? To be honest, it's just me working on the site at the moment. All help and expertise will be needed, such as coding, contents writing, design, moderating the site and users, proof readers; for example, the guidelines needs work (from my opinion) and anything that we can add to create a calm suitable environment for learning. http://www.lawofonesociety.com/index.php/2012-02-08-15-44-06 Your Cookies page is titled Copyright.

Yes, both Cookie/Copyright uses the same page. It will be resolved soon. Copyright page is not necessary and will be disabled. The navigation arrows ('next' and 'prev') have now been removed as they are not necessary on these types of pages. The URL's you probably are already aware of are dated rather than named, and being only you said 2 months old, the date is apparently 3 years ago lol Yes, you're right on the 'date' side of things. These have now been changed and I'm sure that there will be one or two odd pages displaying pages as dates rather than its name. They will be changed once we come across them. The template we're using for the website was designed long time ago, with a place-holder text (i.e. date) placed on it at the time of its design. In other words, the website (www.lawofonesociety.com) itself is like 2 months old but the template we used for the site has been around for quite a long time, hence explains the date you saw. Hope I've cleared things up, but feel free to contact me if you want to discuss anything further.

In Love & Light Law of One Society RE: Law of One Society - DianaMarie - 06-11-2015 Friends, Please pardon my ignorance but I'm new to the site. I see there is a little back and forth about the quality of a website, but I can't tell which affiliations the participants have, or whether the website being discussed comes from the original "family" who channeled the Law of One messages and created L/L Research. Could someone please help me to understand which sites are a direct product of the original group, and/ or which sites are directly sanctioned by that group? (I know that the original crew, including Carla, in spirit, would welcome any heartfelt attempt to spread the message; I'm just hoping to understand where to look first. I see two linked sites: Bring4th.org and L/L Research. Are there others by the same creators?) Might I add, I would prefer that the original creators of this Bring4th site try to answer my question. It is important to me to be sure that I am effectively supporting their work and dissemination of the least distorted information possible. Thank you very much, Diana RE: Law of One Society - Bring4th_Austin - 06-11-2015 (06-11-2015, 09:20 AM)DianaMarie Wrote: Friends, Hi Diana, thanks for the clarifying question. The website being discussed in this thread, http://www.lawofonesociety.com, is a "third-party" website not officially affiliated with L/L Research. However, the creator of that site, leorenzzo, has sought feedback and permission from L/L Research for use of the material (and we are still working with him about the specifics of how it is presented). L/L Research generally doesn't "sanction" websites like this but we are happy to work with them to help share the Law of One and support seekers while maintaining the integrity of the material. The only two official L/L Research websites are the archive website, http://www.llresearch.org, and this community website, http://www.bring4th.org. We appreciate your support! Let us know if you have any more questions. (You can contact us directly at using the information on this page.) RE: Law of One Society - Steppingfeet - 06-11-2015 Some further clarifications to add: As Austin said, the only two official L/L Research websites are www.llresearch.org (the archive website) and www.bring4th.org (the community website). Additionally, there is www.lawofone.info. This is an independently produced website thanks to the mostly single-handed efforts of Tobey Wheelock. His website offers the Law of One material within the spirit and parameters of L/L Research, and has been undertaken in close friendship and collaboration with those of us at L/L. We know each other, we have worked together, and we have shared our lives with one another. We consider lawofone.info a sister website, and as such have listed it on our archive site, and in the top three listing on our Linkshare page. To date, Tobey has been the only person granted permission to publish entire L/L Research books on a website other than our own. The startup website, lawofonesociety.com, contacted L/L regarding copyright permissions, but otherwise has no formal relationship or affiliation with L/L Research, nor do we know much about its creator. It is an independently run third-party website that, as Lorenzzo explains, seeks to help connect seekers, a noble goal, but also and interestingly seeks to be a “one-stop site" for the Law of One, according to Lorenzzo's statement in this thread. The latter goal is surprising considering it implies a desire to exclude and supplant those already offering this material and service. There is great redundancy between his website and websites that already exist, and we don’t immediately see the value of everything considering the already available resources that have been refined over many years, but if he wants to create another portal to the material and create a social media platform for spiritual seekers, he is welcome to it, so long as copyright policies are acknowledged. Regarding that copyright policy, L/L is fairly liberal and encourages the sharing of excerpts of its material across the internet but asks that instead of publishing whole transcripts or books on a website other than L/L Research’s, the third-party website instead link back to the source material at www.llresearch.org, with full and proper attribution of credit. Further, we always ask that each website be positively oriented with no intent to manipulate or deceive. Lorenzzo presented a novel way of complying with copyright that hadn’t before been proposed. Using a reader, L/L's material would be completely visible on his website, but its actual source would be the archive website, www.llresearch.org. However, the way the books are currently displayed on the lawofonesociety website, it is not clear and obvious that the actual source of the material is L/L Research, nor that the material is copyrighted by L/L Research. We have asked Lorenzzo to include a note and a link to this end on each page that hosts an L/L Research book. As some of you have pointed out, there are a lot of rough edges on his website that need smoothed out, but as it seems his site is a work-in-progress, we expect that he will work out the kinks as he goes along. Love and Light to all, GLB for L/L |
