I agree, we need those of us that are truly conscious upon the feeding frenzy occuring, to take charge, however you must realize that this is already occuring. There are many of us arising and more will multiple with the "indigo" generations. Your voice and opinion, Opetero, will not only be heard but its range will ramify and magnify progressively as we network together. Network.

I haven't gotten to the bottom of this thread yet but would like to comment on this.

I am one of the conspiracy theorists from the site Blackbox mentions and I agree with this sentament totally. This third option is what I am trying to define and bring into being.

Speaking for myself, I believe that learning to cope with the physical HERE is an integral part of spiritual growth. I think that the present here is negatively oriented but that does not mean existing here has to be negative. This existence is what you make of it. To run from the controllers will solve nothing as they likely also exist anywhere you can run to. Your lack of strength (free will?) will follow you until you confront it.

If you cannot assert your free-will here can you assert it elsewhere? If you are dependent on a benign environment to be free are you [free]?

I see myself as a small part of the human consciousness equal to each other individual that is a part of the whole race. Our combined orientation defines the orientation of humanity.

I think most will agree humanity is currently negatively oriented. This is because a strong minority is negatively oriented and a large majority doesn't care and follows the lead of the strongest.

My personal preference is to experience a humanity that is positively oriented, I suspect many share my desire. I want to create a showing of hands of the human race that clearly shows what everyone desires. I suspect most want to live in a peaceful co-operative society instead of what we experience today.

I can accept a vote against my personal wishes but I think it is critcal that humanity knowingly makes this choice. If humanity can change course to the positive we will all gain and our spiritual growth will accelerate enormously.

It is scary to individually stand up to the powerful negative forces here and say I am of the light but if the majority of the human race does the same the darkness will diminish. 
   
The letter in the original post reflects reality here accurately in my opinion.

The "discipline" is what keeps you from obsessing when you have dark days, bad dreams, etc. The focus on the light and love stuff also helps to pull you back from the edge. At any rate, it seems to help me when the world at large encroaches.  Anyway - thanks all for the input - much to digest!!

"if he/she's keeping track of all this crap, should I also care to?"

Wilde's latest article titled "Forgiveness and Acceptance" - adds another dimension (no pun intended) to this subject of how to approach the "dark side".

"...What I answered was, "knowledge protects"..."

Knowledge can protect the sanctity and peace of mind. Protecting its (Your) ability to remain aware and flowing of decisive Freewill in traumatic times.

This is the basis of all martial arts training. If you train and train in order to deal with new information - even when that information presents itself violently and overwhelmingly fast - you can keep mindful of your environment and the situation you are in order to make the appropriate adjustments in thought and act.

Remain fluid, able to move in any direction based on the events and information presented to you. The more aware you are - the more conscious you remain when reality twists and turns.

(Dont confuse Freewill with the ability to create any reality scenario, with the ability to freely choose your course of action based on the reality arena you are in and the tools and information available to you, and more importantly - the ability to freely choose your reaction to the given situation - My appologies if this was already completely obvious to you)

I replied to Email1 with what later turned out to be the same points Cameron and Lyra made in their posts above:

I take the strangeness of these coincidences to mean that this is an important topic, either because an important lesson is to be learned, or because of more cynical reasons.

-  Information is neither positive or negative, it just is;   Our emotional reaction to the information makes it "positive" or "negative".

-  The more information you have, the better informed you will be about things, which means you can make better choices. 

-  Pretending something doesn't exist doesn't make it go away.   So, if it's something that's directly relevant to you, and which has a direct impact on your life and wellbeing, then it's better to "face the music" about it, instead of ignoring it.  If it's something that has no relevance to you, and there's nothing you can do about it, then really, there's no point in getting yourself all worked up about it.   Discernment is the key.   

It seems that we're only being presented with two choices in regards to reacting to information of a negative nature:   Either 1)  Be like the New Age "Love and Light" people, and try to ignore the negative stuff, (putting heads in the sand) in hopes that by not acknowledging the bad, it won't be a part of our reality;  or, 2) REALLY dwell on it and become all riled up and negative and cynical about it........which lowers your frequency.   A negative cyncical pessimistic mindset which only sees everything that's wrong and bad in the world is a dangerous frame of mind to remain in for a long period of time.   

I say let's create a third option, which is to acknowledge that the bad exists.....remain as emotionally neutral about it as you can..........then be pro-active and do something about it, if it's something that directly affects you. (For example, abductions, negative attacks, etc.)   

(Note:  I just saw Cameron's post, where he mentioned the C's phrase, "Knowledge Protects, Ignorance Endangers."  That sums it up, right there, short and sweet.)

And in tying this in to the original topic of this thread, the "Secret Covenant" thing, my advise is to try to remain neutral when reading it and absorbing it.  Or when dealing with ANY potentially negative information for that matter, (including Stuart Wilde's recent writings which expose the more negative, darker side of reality).   The situation is what it is, information is emotionally neutral, remember.   The only thing you should do is take action, if applicable, or at least now have a broader sense of awareness, which in turn helps you see through the other falsehood illusions of our reality.

At any rate my thinking in the past few days has brought the decision to stop paying attention to all the negative political nonsense as well as the "earth change" ruckus as I probably can do little to change any of it and the more "peace" I feel and express the better for all - or at least those in my immediate environment.

In a recent conversation I had with one of my family members, the question was asked of me: "what good does it do you to know, or study, these possible events [such as earthquake]?"

What I answered was, "knowledge protects" (from the Cassiopaean transcripts).  The way this statement applies to earth changes is that if you know that there is a high probability that an earthquake will hit California, and you happen to live in California, this knowledge can be applied to taking action against this possible attack on one's personal health.  Or, if you again know of impending possible earthquake, you can phone your friend in California to warn them.  Of course, one's action taken, or the action taken by one's friend is completely free will.  I think this applies to the political arena also. 

What it comes down to is making well informed decisions (acting/doing).  The alternative is either to make uniformed decisions (acting on little knowledge) which is akin to running around with your head chopped off; or to not act (or not do) which may be like sitting in a pit of quicksand.

That said, it is important to live a peaceful, balanced life.  It is possible to:

1) input consistent, high-quantity and high-quality information
   - used to built knowledge and take action, and
2) keep a balance emotional/spiritual experience, full of joy, happiness and peace

The two are both important, and should not be considered mutually exclusive.  It is important also to realize that consciousness is inherently non-linear.  Looking at the ocean, there are many waves, crests, shorelines, peaks and troughs existing simultaneously.  Likewise, consciousness is capable of collecting information non-locally and non-linearly.  The trick becomes not focusing on one peak or another for too long, but to allow for the non-linear conscious awareness (the good, the bad, and the ugly) - being capable of diving into one or another 'wave' or 'shoreline' as situations evolve.

Does this make sense?

For example I think a big thing to note is if one believes that it is possible that half the human population is divided by souled-beings (hopefully yours truly is included) and those beings that are conscious only as a "bridge" between 2nd density and 3rd (birds, dogs, cats). Consciousness, or rather the soul "higher-self" is created at this instant, even though in reality everything all occured at once. Like a 4-way-stop with 4 cars driving faster than the speed of light hit each other at one instant.

So there are those who have souls and those who do not. The latter are rather like programmed puppets at their present state. Efficient humans as without a link to a higher-pool of intelligence, they are left-brainers, comfortable in a left-brain society. Left brain education systems with left-brain law enforcement. We have it all in the Iron Age.

Perhaps in ancient times people knew this and there was a divide between adamics and pre-adamics. I see the danger of speaking in these tones, but I only mean it as speculative lingo... Are there processes that allow a souled being to be born, requested from 3D-beings? I mean to say a husband and a wife are having a baby. They wish to attract a soul that is properly attuned to their genetic signatures. They do not wish their son or daughter to awake as a organic portal. Perhaps sleeping in a pyramid? heh

Something seems so familiar with this thought. As if I wish I could just remember things that I feel itching in the corners of my psyche. Too bad I didn't pay attention in high-school and stagnated my left-brain understanding of math and the sciences. I'm making up for it now I guess.

I just think a lot of what we speak of in regards to "control and manipulation" should note that those who are more programmed to chaotic actions and mental manipulations of chemically-imbalanced (soul-less) people. They are the simple chaos, the random popping of organic portal and soul-beings. There must be a technology innate in us to bring order to this specific disorder. Separate the adamics from the pre-adamics and put up borders to separate them.

There's your freaking Eden! (well at least for one side!)

It's ridiculous to blame humanity as a ONE, when it is POSSIBLY a TWO. Half of us would not do such things. Because we have family and subjective virtues like viligance of truth and honour, valour and loyalty. I think some forget this and try to convince themselves and others that we are all "tempted" towards actions of true horror and injustice to beings of our soul-pool. The one entity that we all combine to. I think I have been wrong in much of my Atlantean theories. I was pertaining to that society being a "right-brain" technologically advanced society, where that's a tricky way to go...technology has multiple variations and "right-brainers" have more common sense than that. They are self-aware and hence capable of souring the milk for either the light or dark forces. The puppeteers.

On another note, I have read Stuart Wilde for years and have the tapes from the "Old Chinese" lectures.  I have gotten much inspiration and peace from them. A lot of Stuarts teachings came from this tradition, however, he seems to have taken quite a different tone lately - somewhat more pessimistic and I am curious about others views on his new direction. Does anyone get the idea that he means to throw out all the old teachings...or what??? I rather dislike throwing it all away....it was a nice warm blanket.

With regard to the notion that we "Are all One" here is my personal opinion;

People have been conditioned into thinking on things only to the superficial level and thereby develop convenient conclusions. In this instance the notion of we are all one, while factually correct is presented after a lifetime of preconditioning which has limited the critical faculties of the inddividual where they will accept the statement in the context of the illusory reality of the physical realm.

Many people do not seek understanding of the nature of themselves, the world they live in, the universe from which they are made - and the words used in communicating concepts and information between conscious entities.

in this case, we are all one can be viewed easily from its shell. one might say "well ya, we all exist in this uni-verse (One Sound) together, so i guess I accept that we are all one."

[ side note: the dictionary entry for Verse: To familiarize by study or experience ]

but to fully under-stand this concept, look at the nature of what the uni-verse actually is. Conscious thought, a cohesive unit of solid nothingness. Infinite potential. Potential to be any and all expression. As this potential self-realizes - it is imagined into separate units in order to fold in on itself and discover the nature of conscious awareness as a sound unit. In order to realize itself as a single and complete expression, it must be separate and fractured so that it can discover unity and cohesion. We are all a part of the universe, all a perfect reflection of that within which we exist. all drops within that ocean, and we, made in this image, posess the faculties that are possesed by the whole - the gift of freewill to imagine consciousness in action with intent. How we use this determines the lesson frequency that is sounded and absorbed back into the whole.

Also, if we focus on their negative aspects, are we not in fact giving them more power? Feedback...anyone?
