Dear everyone,
Like every year, we sent an email to all FOTCM members, but wish to extend our greetings to all members of the forum, who are also and integral part of our lovely network and whose participation is very much appreciated! So here it is:
NOTE: Don’t forget to see the bottom of this email and visit this page for this year’s Christmas goodies and our 2022 Calendar!
Dear Friends in Fellowship,
At the end of each year, we send you this greeting and usually note that "things are pretty crazy out there", or words to that effect. But last year, and this year in particular, marked a shocking new standard in 'crazy'. The almost banal slide into overt totalitarianism under the guise of a 'health crisis' is chilling to witness. The process, long ago predicted by the Cs, of 'corralling of the population to an ever finer order of control' is well underway, and unfortunately we have every reason to presume that the process will continue and intensify. These are indeed times that try men's and women's souls, and the value of a network of like-minded people who understand and support each other has never been more apparent.
Now is not the time to give up or give in, now is the time to redouble our efforts to hold the frequency of truth and love through these changes on our planet, in the population, and in ourselves. Together, and only together, can we hope to navigate this turmoil with calm and grace.
With that in mind, this year we proceeded with our
Crystal project, online meetings, and gatherings in our local communities and other places where members could spend time together in good company, with soul enriching activities, prayer and conversations, and recharge their batteries. We also began
monthly zoom meetings with Laura and the team in France in order to facilitate a closer connection with, and between, all FOTCM members. We also continued to pursue our research on a vast array of topics and shared it all, as usual, on our forum and web sites. If you have not yet done so, we'd like to reiterate our invitation to you all to participate in any, or all, of these opportunities to connect and share.
Laura’s latest book,
From Paul to Mark, Paleochristianity, was also published this year. Extensively researched, written for academics and laymen alike, it has helped us understand Christianity better, and strengthened our faith in our collective ability to figure out some of the deepest truths of the human experience. It’s a must read for anyone who would like to understand more about this world and their place in it! Laura’s time, effort, and determination in searching for the truth has really paid off!
To all of our members, we would like to extend our
gratitude and tell you how happy we are to be able to know you. To all who have participated or contributed in their individual ways, from participating in gatherings or online discussions, to research, editing, translating, transcribing, donating, technical support, artistic contributions, and especially working to better themselves for the benefit of all; Thank you! We think that Fellowship members are the best people in the world in every way.
Finally, we would like to remind you of something that
the Cs said this year, and which we keep in mind in these difficult times:
“Things may heat up a bit and create unpleasant frissons in many. Do not be dismayed or alarmed. Continue to work and build your network and connections. As we have said before, all this is evidence of the anxiety as the big changes approach. This will pass. Have faith and love.”
Thanks to the creative talents of some of our members, as usual we have some “goodies”:
