The Living Force
Hi everyone!
I recently returned to the hippie commune that I once lived at in central Virginia, USA called Twin Oaks, to visit some friends over new years. I had departed there about two years ago and was disconnected for quite some time while doing research into the many topics covered on this forum and associated information stores, but reconnected this summer, partly in the hopes of seeing if anyone was starting to wake up at all. Naively, I told some individuals a number of the well supported theories that have been researched by Laura and others and, unsurprisingly, rather than look into it themselves they disconnected with me/doubted what I said/tried to prove me wrong (not everyone, but generally all of those things and other typical mechanical psychological responses)--they worked to remain asleep and I told them things they didn't want to know, violating their free will to remain ignorant. Since then, I don't really talk about the majority of what I think about with others (which feels incredibly isolating currently, especially as the fire burning the world seems to be rapidly growing).
During this most recent trip (I've visited a few times this year), one individual with whom I share an interesting connection (an abnormally high level of comfort, she lives in the room I used to live in, and some other similarities) shared an experience she had with me while walking on a path where she felt a spirit was speaking to her, in a way. I don't remember who brought it up, but we got out a oujia board and asked to speak with this spirit. After a few bad starts, we got a response and after some preliminary questions I had felt we had made a potentially good and valuable connection (though being familiar with Laura's work, taking some precautions and not "believing" it), I asked how big the next earthquake was going to be and roughly when it was coming--7.0 and 2 months.
While it's clearly hard to predict when an earthquake will come and how big it will be, making this information unverifiable, the 5.8 quake (whose epicenter was practically on Twin Oaks' property) that hit in August and which had many "aftershocks" continue for months realistically looks like a foreshock, most notably for me because essentially nothing changed in their minds or in the community. They're not even taking any precautions against the possibility that there could be another one and that it could be larger, let alone evaluating their lives or the world!
After the session, I felt that it became relevant to explain some of my theories (the "less palatable" ones) as we were certainly dabbling with fire, I thought she may be capable of handling them, and also thought it irresponsible to withhold such information in this context (sending blindfolded sheep into the lion's pen). She seemed to take it well and find it generally interesting, though afterward, based on the disparity between words and actions, I was not as sure that this was the case.
Well, after this session we realized we had some other questions that were relevant (intentionally vague--sorry) and so we spoke of doing another one. I was interested in this and made myself available, and my partner in search said she wanted to continue with this project a number of times when I asked over a week-long period, but I watched as her actions strongly suggested otherwise by occupying herself with unnecessary/self-indulgent tasks and party preparations/cleanup, chatting on the computer, etc etc--the actions strongly suggested avoidance to me and, to my sadness, another session did not materialize before my scheduled departure. This second session may have had productive and relevant results.
Essentially, the evidence I've witnessed (actions) suggests to me that those who remain at the commune wish to remain ignorant of our reality, do no self inquiry and make no changes, and suffer the consequences. But with this information about the earthquake which, especially since the one in august, I've been basically waiting for as what seems very likely to me to happen, I need to clarify my understanding of STO. Is my understanding that to respect their free will I should withhold information that they'd rather not have correct? Considering that I've spent a fairly large amount of time there this year and have heard no requests for help in any sort of search for objective reality or preparations for the future, but have this information about a possible timeframe for an earthquake that I suspect is likely to happen, what is the best route to serve others? Let them be and then respond to any requests after the earthquake? Go down there around the time when it might happen, prepared to help? Suggest to them to prepare (my bet is that there will be at least one more 2.0+ shock if a 7+ is coming, which is when I would suggest that these might be foreshocks and that it might be wise to prepare for a larger one--which they don't want to hear), again?
And considering that I've been losing connections when sharing the "less palatable" results (my current assessments) of my research (aliens, control system, earth changes/comets, etc) with others, which suggests that they'd rather not know and suffer the consequences of ignorance (and that I'm serving self by telling them), is my thinking that keeping these results to myself is more STO than sharing them, accurate? I don't post earth changes research to my facebook page out of the concern that people will write off the health information/fascism information that I post because I "believe" in "crazy" things (ie "choose your battles").
It's really incredibly sad for me to watch this train wreck as it's happening and see people close to me unknowingly choose self indulgence over producing possible value for others, but it is their lives and their choice to do so, if they wish. :(
Thanks for all the help!
