Announcement: NR Forum Closing on Feb 22nd, 2008 (Page 3 of 13)

Montalk...Tom, a big thank you for all the hard work keeping this ship afloat and all the best for your future wherever it takes you. Lyra you too have been a big part of the moderation, tone and down to earth but out there values, so thank you and I wish you happiness and many good things in the future. Of course thanks to all the incredible posters insights and out(a)sights, both good and bad, internet being what it is, maybe a mere fish eye lens into what makes up parts of this beautiful blue planet (actually multi-hued on closer inspection....what a shock). Time for moving on. Thanks for all the fish (apart from the odd shark) and see you at the bar at the end of the universe, or the end of the road whichever comes first. Peace to All.

Tom, thank you so much for giving us the gift of this forum. It's been a pleasure reading the thoughts and opinions and theories of so many lovely people.

Love and peace to you all.

May you each be blessed and find what you are looking for.

Cheers

I know you mean well, but this really needs to be addressed and cleared up.  (for the hundredth time around here in the past 4 years.)  But I was not the moderator of NR.  If I was, this place would have been very different.......not as nice.  haha   And I mean that in all seriousness.  I have zero patience for a lot of things, and tend to jump the gun sometimes, being impulsive, tempestuous and blunt, versus Tom who is a lot more patient, and takes his time to analyze pros and cons, being far more diplomatic and eloquent in speech.   We have the same world view about most things....just very different personality orientations.  So if I was a big part of the moderation as you're saying, it would not be the same NR. That's why I don't run a forum.  I could never do it.     Just wanted to clear that up before anybody else makes the same mistake.

Edit:  See, Shoogie just did it too.  NOTE:  Please, don't anybody thank me for anything to do with NR.  It's incorrect, and embarrassing to boot.  This is not my forum, I didn't set it up, I didn't pay for it, I didn't/don't run it, don't have pass codes for it, nor do I moderate it.  I was just another poster.

Okay.  Hopefully that takes care of THAT.  !

I'm scared!

I got a great big BHANG out of your picture Bhang.  I too use images. Love the old cliche a "picture speaks a thousand words."  I thought wow, won't have NR but I can use Bhang's pic. as a screensaver as a permanant reminder of my days at the realm.  What's really funny is that at first I read, "I will miss this place and most it's people terribly," as, I will miss this place and most of its terrible people.  Oh G. it was a "Bucky" moment. I also thought it would be fun to have a t.v. series type end of era "Mash" annual party.  Every year on Feb.22 Tom could re-open the site and we could all come back and post how our lives have changed w/o NR.  Then I realized it would probably just be a rerun episode with the same ole characters. I read where Woody Allen said when he finishes a movie they have a going away party and everybody is sad.  Then an hour later people have forgotten their sadness and are on a plane to their new destinations.  That's what the picture says to me.  We are all going to ascend to a new and wonderful party.  I want covertmetaphor to be the host. Zenden will provide the transportation.

I feel like it's over already. Just with the announcement alone. Now everybody knows.

Thnaks for the forum Montalk. And thanks for all the great files I would never have found anywhere else.

well.  i thot i saw a mirage.  delayed today and all.  u know how the green little box shows up to direct the reader coming on to NR to the new posts for the day?  time realm?  well, im delayed today after 6 more hrs of free DIT urself therapy with a friend.  came on.  way way delayed today.  didnt see a new green box thingy under announcements, went right to spirituality and metaphysics section and posted some stuff been on the mind to get that over with.  usually dont do that.  i start at the beginning of new posts and read thru.   went to page 3 of this thread, as it took me there.  so i go back, and go WTH?  whats this?  page 3 of what?  no new green box--and then well, died, fainted, crawled up on the shore, re-grouped, stared, had the mouth hanging open, re-grouped again.  walked in a daze thru the house.  staring and walking on thin air.  went into the kitchen to run water at the sink, which i learned grounds me.  i then made the strongest drink in years.  years i said.  and I AM THE FAT LADY AND I AINT SINGING SHIT.

i laid in bed last night thinking about NR, about lots of NR things and if i should send some dough.  thinking about tom and carissa.  thinking.  and now this.  id say im suicidal but nah, its funny (laugh here)  but NOT.  the old man told me just the other day, that if i died, he'd go online and go back and read my crap on here and say it was my diary.  it was my diary.  it made me stronger--stronger soul like tom said.  we are all stronger souls for having been here.  it molded me, it shaped me.  it healed me too--the love, sharing, bearing/BARE-ing, and admiration for the fellow humans that occurred here.  when i cant stand leaving the house.  just like lyra said.  and im not going outside.  im not going to get in the reality out there.  i dont like it out there.  i like it IN HERE>  im safe and happy here.  i dont like it in 3D.  there now, ive said that.  been wanting to say it.   i sat at my desk in here, and i cried. it came slow, from the depths, then like a quiet volcano right after.  like a little kid.  the kid that i am.  and it began to rain.   the rain is my tears.  im sick, im freaked, but will recover, somehow.  and like Doc.  im scared.  someday--i knew this would happen.  particularly so after the thread with the FUCKERS and pumpkin posts stuff.  that about did it for me.  and u all know, i knew, WE knew how that goes.  *no religious promotions please* like they have right under their ascension et al spirituality section over at the newagesummit forum site that SiriArc showed us.  and weve been dissed over at another site too, that i wasnt gonna mention.  bad bad vibes.  it was bound to happen.  earthlife and all.  thats 3D for ya.  this is how it goes.  theres been a ton of testosterone pumping in.  the usual anti -truth serum sent by some.  weve had numerous doses of it.  numerous.  its time, i GUESS.  and i despise conflict.  had enuf.

then i laughed and went to the bar at the end of the universe to set up shop, get the brew spilling, open the kegs, arrange the chairs, as the lights were ALREADY ON.  so power is on there, it never goes out.  its illumined and IT WILL BE FOR ALL TIME.  it WILL BE SO FOR ALL TIME.  ALL TIME.  as such radiance, such illumination, SUCH EDUCATION and soul development can never be extinguished.   that is the highest LAW.   this has been one of OUR grandest feats.  OUR SERVICE TO OTHERS.  embodied in the flesh, hosted by a man who sat at the foot of Plato.  yes, tom, i have read ur pastlives.  i know who u are.  and i met and talked with u again, here in the third millennium.  back on earth.  from the old days, when i was a student in the mystery school, and u taught me.  u taught me then, and u teach me now.  and for that and many more things u gave me, i am eternally grateful.  u r one of the greatest teachers and mages of all time.  it is of a / our particular soul group.  my soul and higher self led me here.  to the PEOPLE here, the knowledge here, and i have participated in one of the grandest experiments in consciousness that has EVER BEEN.  YOU gave us that.  all from giving.  from BEING YOU.  its raining hard now.  hard rain.  WATER.    its water in 2008.  drenched.  i will drink my drink and become, a SUN.  and send more light and receive more light from all OF YOU.
