I joined b4th as a member in Dec 2011. That is about 20 months ago.
during my time, plenty of people have departed, and many others have arrived.
if we go by the rule of thumb that One Internet Generation = 3 months, then I have seen quite a few cycles of people come and go.
this place is truly magical. As a user named Pickle once said, I don't think we truly realise quite how magical it is.
People come and go, members post a lot when they first arrive and then find they have said all they have to say. Other members come on strong for a few days, and then depart for a few months, having got what they needed. Everyone uses the forum in a different way.
members have had username changes which reflected a different approach to reality. This is a sign of massive internal transformation.
anyway, what b4th offers is a candid mirror into the the vast spectrum of the human consciousness. We have individuals here representing all different levels of transparency of the light. It is a tremendous opportunity to accept others as they are, whatever their current level of presentation. It is an opportunity to see *ourselves* at all different levels of transparency. It is a kickstart to see ourselves.
anyway, what I am trying to say is that with each post that someone makes, they are presenting certain patterns of qualities of self. It is an articulation of mind. We can use those patterns to transform ourselves. We can use those patterns by either expanding our limit of acceptance (what is tolerable without reactivity) or we can use those patterns to transform our own current patterns; putting things into a higher or more comprehensive perspective.
either way, integrating the views/presentations of others expands our own understanding of ourself. The Self (as Creator) is seen in more detail or expansiveness.
so there are many ways to use these forums. One need not participate by posting, but one can still derive enormous benefits and tranformations through observing (and accepting) the various interplays and offerings that are made here on a daily basis.
anyway, that's just my piece,
