These forums are slowly dying?

[Jeremy]

Most of the better conversations happen when someone is struggling processing something, usually catalyst in their life and the community helped with the processing.

Seems lots of healing has happened so the forum is less active. I’m sure new members with catalyst will be along shortly.

Unfortunately a lot of the general light conversation stopped when this place became very argumentative vs supportive. Catalyst on the forum itself isn’t why people came here so many left.

It's been quite a few years since I've participated here mainly due to this issue. I'll admit that I was a part of the argumentative aspect and I stood my ground only to finally leave out of frustration. But I've also been in quite the funk for years as well now. After some long contemplation, I decided to come back to attempt to realign my actions with my beliefs. 

The chat room was definitely a fun atmosphere for all. Good times were had in there with isis, plenum, reí, among others. 

What I find disheartening since returning is that the forums seem to have taken the same turn that the Facebook discussion group has which caused me to leave that group recently. Many of the threads that I see are inundated with outside beliefs and philosophies being integrated that contradict the Law of One's message. Tons of conspiracy theories and a lot of advanced adept work from people that lack the proper grounding to attempt such practices. It seems many still seem to put the proverbial cart before the horse here. But I do accept that my perception could be flawed based upon my own biases and distortions so I ask for confirmation on these perceptions. 

The time around 2012/2013, the forums were buzzing. We had all felt the great awakening then the hangover post 12-21. Yet as the subsequent years passed, many catalysts were brought forth along with a dogmatic approach by some based upon their own personal perceptions of the material. That's when I made my exit. 

Though years have passed, my belief never wavered even though my actions were anything but. I had lost my way, my discipline, my determination, and ultimately my desire to practice what I preached. I'm hopeful that I can regain some of what was lost so hopefully I can begin to contribute to some more thoughtful and thorough discussions to bring the forums back to it once was.
