We really aren't in a position yet to pay anyone a few dollars for anything they contribute - design or material wise, so all ideas will have to be offered up as contributions to the FOTCM.
We would definitely love to be in the position to be able to pay people for their services. In fact, we really need to get to that point soon. Most of you probably don't know what it takes to do all that we do now and how few people and little money it is all done with. While we are still working on the projects we have been working for some time, we have a whole lot of new projects in the works. Not to put too fine a point on it, but to get those done we are going to need to raise some funds.
For example, most of you are aware of the ongoing translation of articles and books. We are also translating audio, now. Translating the text is not such a big deal, thanks to the folks around the world who donate their time for the task. But that is only the beginning. Once we have the translated text, it needs to be recorded.
I've put together a serviceable recording studio here with a couple thousand of my own money for equipment and software. That covers us for recording Laura and recording music for the time being, but not for recording translations. A few of our translators have done test recordings from home by hooking up a mic to their computer. I've been really impressed by the quality of their voices, but the quality of the recordings renders them unusable. To do this right, we need to be able to bring people here to sit down in our studio and record with high quality mics in a controlled environment.
The thing is, we don't have that money. So here is where I make the blatant pitch. :o)
Those of us who work to make all of this available to you do so without getting a penny for our work. Here at the château we get room and board, but it is a labor of love. We do it because it needs to be done and there is
nothing at all that we'd rather be doing with our lives. There is nothing else at all that is worth doing. Other people work full-time jobs all day then come home and spend hours laboring at their computers to moderate this forum, research, translate, etc. Given our current resources, we are stretched just about as far as we can stretch. We need to do even more, and we will do more. The question is how we are going to do it.
Keep in mind that FOTCM is now real. This is a vehicle we can all belong to and help grow. As it grows and expands, members will be able to work within it and be supported by it. Which brings us right back to what Anart was saying.
So, who has some thoughts about this?
A: Those individuals who still think that you can get something for nothing will find themselves blocked.
Q: (L) Well, what is the nature of this kind of thing? I mean, what do you mean "blocked"?
A: It can take 2 main forms: In the STO candidate, it can be blocked by the subconscious process that knows there is an imbalance. In the "others" it is simply that they are not on the correct frequency to receive. Remember "receivership capability" and also capacity.
Q: (L) In other words, somebody could conceivably, ya know, pay a million dollars for the program and if they were a billionaire and it was a drop in the bucket to their income, or even if they were doing it manipulatively to gain for the self, they would still not be able to get anything out of it even though they had made an exchange because they would still not be at the frequency to understand. Is that correct?
A: Yes. Remember the "widow's mite".
Q: (Joe) The Widow's Mite? (L) It's a story in the bible. It's a small amount. Ya know, the rich man who gave a lot and thought he would buy salvation, and then the poor widow who gave a little bit but it was all she had - she gave all. So the principle is giving all, but not necessarily in the sense of money. Is that what we're getting at here?
A: Yes
Q: (L) Okay. Well, we have a whole other list of questions from the forum and I guess we ought to get onto them now...
A: No, that must wait. The world is hurtling through space in its move toward destiny, and many of those questions are of little consequence. Besides, our interaction with you is not to pass messages to others of a more or less trivial nature. Additionally, for many of these questions to be answerable, a similar frequency issue comes into play. You, PERSONALLY, in your mind, must be seeking the answer, and it must be important to your path of destiny. Otherwise it is no more or less accurate than any old "psychic". And "any old psychic" you AIN'T!
