Like Rythmik says, I find it very odd that people are put into 'categories' of having to "beLIEve" in something in order for it to have value. Just as I wouldn't insist on saying 'aliens are real' does that exclude the very possibility of them actually being real? Questioning without rejecting what we do not know seems, as I have intimated in my earlier posts: I can listen to someone without having to agree with what they say. That is how I learn. Just because I am aware of those who seem to believe that the earth is flat (which I don't) doesn't mean that I do not try to consider why they would prefer to hold that point of view. Do I agree with them? No. Absolutely not. On some level, in their space of awareness and their level of consciousness that is what they 'see'. I do not know nor do I claim to know how they came to that conclusion, I just think it's a curious development and it makes me wonder why they have such a need to attach themselves to that premise.
And do you leave your wondering there? Open-ended? Or do you draw any conclusions, even tentative ones?
It is the same with the Q movement. If I were attached to it (i.e., insist) that I have to be 'right' that "Q is nothing but BS (...)" then I position myself and my ability to look at something that I think I 'understand' (...) whereas the possibilities of what I could learn (also called playing with ideas, the inifinite field of possibilities and potential - and, to take that idea further - the infinite number of universes that exist beyond our immediate ability to see or perceive that which we cannot even contemplate). I close myself off to that which is accessible to me by flat out refusing to admit that I haven't got a bloody clue. None of us do. To claim otherwise seems to me rather childish, and also, desperate in having something to hold onto as a way of defining what and who we are, what is still 'out there' that we do not know of, and have never even thought possible.
Like I said before, in your world, everything is essentially relative and boils down to: 'we can't know anything for sure, so why try'. There is no attainable truth, everything is a 'maybe' and therefore essentially unmanifested. What a pointless life. You completely miss the point that the primary task of human life is to sort the real from the false, the truth from the lie, to the greatest extent possible and CHOOSE. In the above paragraph, you make the nonsensical comparison between practical truths learned from hard-won experience with the abstract idea of "infinite number of universes". They are CLEARLY not the same. You argue that we should all embrace the 'fact' that "we haven't got a bloody clue" about anything, so why even try. Just allow everything to 'be', no effort, no due diligence, no discernment, accept everything, open ourselves to everything and see what sticks, like crap to fan.
It is so much more than just the "Q" issue. The debate whether Q is BS or not, whether they are real or just a larp is not really what matters in this context (of this forum - which I had hoped, had a bit of a more open-minded consciousness and willingenss to go past a certain set of belief systems). Belief systems need to be questioned on a regular basis - especially our own - because we need to push the boundaries that define us by going past them.
Oh, I thought we were discussing the veracity or otherwise of 'Q'. You've argued quite strongly here for 'Q' being legit, but now it's not even relevant. So what's your agenda? Oh wait...I think I see it coming:
A few years ago, I came across a consciousness 'figure' who wrote a book that I find very fitting within this context. The book has the very succinct title "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself". I worked with his approach for a number of years and it changed my life and what I believed or thought to believe to a considerable degree. One of the main reasons I volunteered at Eceti is that I wanted to challenge myself - get out of my comfort zone and push my own envelope. That is the only way you can find out what makes you. I also was in Ecuador for a month, having to deal with circumstances I never expected and discovering new qualities within myself I never knew were there. It was very very difficult and challenging and yet I came home with a new sense of Self that I would never have gained if it would not have been for these extremely difficult experiences.
So you hooked up with a group that aims to
"help with public awareness of the E.T reality and to assist people with connecting to positive otherworldly beings." And how is that working out? Did you meet any nice aliens yet?
Our thoughts are often not even our own. Our beliefs are influenced on a daily basis by that which we are exposed to. Our parameters are 'stuck' in often outdated criteria that actually do nothing to help us move to another level of awareness and grasping the complexity of our own existence within the greater context.
So what is the yardstick for knowing when we have "moved to another level of awareness"? I mean, if we do that, can we not just be accused of still being "stuck in outdated criteria"? What is "outdated criteria" for you anyway? Is it anything that anyone says that you don't like? I can imagine that you can justify calling anyone and anything they say "outdated" simply by telling the person to think of the "infinite number of universes" and when they realized that they can't grok that idea, you point out that this means that "they haven't got a bloody clue what they're talking about" and they should just accept everything as possible, no truth, no lies, just navel gaze your way to lalaland.
Our consciousness is extremely malleable and we have to be prepared to not ever take any 'truths' for granted or, by contrast, insist that they are immutably 'correct', right' or 'disproven beyond any shadow of a doubt'.
People come on forums and troll and spew nonsense. This is an undeniable truth that is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
To have a need to hold onto often oudated belief systems that are neither useful or helpful and that do not serve us, is a fatal inclination and often, tragically, the grid of reference with which we move through our world and our lives often sabotaging the very expansion and growth we secretly yearn for.
Do please tell us how we know when our belief system is "outdated". That's the one thing that is missing from your spiel.
A good example of this is Rupert Sheldrake's banned YT video on the "Science of Delusion" as well as his earlier work on the morphogenetic field - the invisible interconnectedness of all that is and exists - even if we cannot 'see' those links with our naked eye. Just as I do not need to believe in electricity or vibration does not exclude my being subject to experience its effects. The Q movement, with all its flaws, its problems and challenges is a sign of our times.
Yeah, it's a psyops. But wait, what does Q have to do with Rupert Sheldrake and morphogenetic fields? I hope everyone sees how this curious cat makes associations between things that, in reality, do not exist.
The Law of Unintended Consequences stipulates that good intentions only take us that far. Whether the Q movement will genuinely benefit humanity is as a whole remains to be seen.
No, it doesn't remain to be seen whether the Q movement will genuinely benefit humanity as a whole. Long before that, we have to have some evidence that 'Q' is anything but a fairly crass BS operation, that has not produced ONE piece of evidence that it is what it claims to be.
What I do see coming out of this movement, watching the timely unfolding of events in concordance with the Q information that is being shared, is a renewed energy of the 'sheeple' getting involved, becoming interested in what is happening on the geo-political and even extraplanetary level.
There's no evidence that the 'Q movement' is producing renewed energy among 'the sheeple' in understanding events on the actual geopolitical level. There is evidence that it is producing energy for 'Q' and its drip drip of cryptic crap. Then again, that's not surprising, there's a sucker born every minute.
The Q team's Q&A session of 20th September opened up one of the most suppressed queries that those who, are at least half-awake, was confirmed. The fact that anyone worth their salt would insist that we are alone, was countered by the Q team's response with 'no'.
Aha, so now we get to the real reason for your interest in 'Q'. Now that 'Q' has spent enough time attracting a bunch of fans, it has entered the new age alien woo woo arena, and with the shocking 'confirmation' that 'we are not alone'.
It seems to me at least that this will reinvigorate and, for better or worse, open up those people's minds who hitherto were absolutely on another level of contemplation of whether we are alone or not; to at least consider that there is so much more to our planet's role than what mainstream media and science would prefer us to beLIEve.
Yeah, it's great to see more people joining the "I want to believe" gang. I mean, the global UFO community as it has evolved over the past 70 years is such a fine example of truth and objectivity...
The risks of disclosure for those who are utterly and completely incapable of even contemplating this w/o going into a kind of knee-jerk reaction by labelling them as demons or whatever else their vocabulary of reference will come up with, ought not be totally dismissed because fear is such a fundamental part of what holds humanity back.
I totally agree, we should all embrace the demons from space.
Thus, the process of unravelling - however which way and by whoever this may come about - ought not be completely brushed aside nor ought it be totally ridiculed.
I beg to differ.
What we need at this moment in time is maybe not what we want or what we were used to but obviously, on a cosmic and planetary level, the times call for a global shift in consciousness of what and where we are going as a people, as one group of many that exist in this huge galaxy.
Ah yes, the old "global shift in consciousness". You're reading from a REALLY old new age word salad book here.
As flawed and problematic the Q movement is, it obviously has its place and its purpose, otherwise it wouldn't have even been able to grow so big and have so many around the world become part of the Q movement.
Really? When something gains a lot of public attention, it means it's valid? Because I was reading an article the other day about how sex doll purchases have skyrocketed. So that has to be good, right? Otherwise, "it wouldn't have even been able to grow so big and have so many around the world become part of the SD movement".
Again, whether that is 'good' or 'bad' is realtive.
There ya go again with the postmodernist BS. I'm really starting to think that postmodernism was invented by aliens.
Is it helpful? Is it useful? I think so. Certainly, it has its place in bringing people together and allowing themselves to go places they would most likely never have considered previously.
Yeah, like New Age Disney World.
If nothing else, the energy of the movement brings with it a heightened willingness to become part of the 'taking responsibility' for our own process and the reality we are co-creating.
There's a new age COINTELPRO movement for just about everyone.
Something tells me that many people have been waiting for something of this nature to happen - they needed a 'bandwaggon' they could jump on because many were frustrated with the way things were.
Indeed, and the term "jump on the bandwagon" has such a positive connotation in the English language. History show that it always works out well when a large number of people jump on a bandwagon.
For whatever reason someone may join that movement, everyone has their very own agenda and motivation for doing so. Again, as with the flat earth theory, I don't know what makes them do so. I observe it and watch where this is going because it is certainly highly interesting and worth watching.
Yeah, in a macabre sort of way. I just really don't appreciate cheerleaders for such "bandwagons". They're much more deserving of criticism than the people they manipulated to get on the wagon.
