--Does that mean on In2Worlds? By all means, be my guest... and by the way, I did a long read on the article on Portland, nodding my head as I went, shuddering a bit as I recalled MY narrow brush with that place!! (I never got as far as Portland, thanks to what I figured was something screwing me around, now I think, maybe I was protected. I went thru hell in Mt. Shasta and in Medford, so I turned around that day. It was my last chance to see Northen Calif and the C.O.W. (CA-OR-WA) states before moving to Texas [current affliction]
where even more fun awaited me!) You are right about that place, and it is not surprising as it is VERY near a major Lizzie stronghold -- don't know if it's Reptilian or Vulturite. They control people there just so they don't get curious or wake up!
And to your other observation: "Have you thought of doing anything with that talent and this material, like putting it out there in some way?"
-- Sure, I'm interested yet don't know where to start -- as you can see, I have not gotten into learning how to do the "inset boxes" for he said/she said... and I apologize: I would like to get to the Forum more often to check posts and share, but it has been a Zoo at work (Quickbooks, ACT, Excel, the network, etc)... so I squeeze posts in when I can -- like today, Sunday.
LYRA -- any ideas or suggestions for ways that I could contribute?
To answer XZENTRICO: My posting (short as it was)
reflects the fact that we are prisoners in an alternate reality, perhaps best called a Virtual Reality [Matrix? -- at the risk of sounding corny or redundant].
This VR exists within the Normal Universe of Light and those of us in here have either been shanghied into it, or have come into it to help bust it up. The VR, I hear, is about to come to an end... it's winding down (entropy). I really resonate with the Warrior archtype and have no fear of going one-on-one with whomever they send my way -- and have many times (ask me about Mt. Shasta) -- give me another baseball bat!!
Yet, I'm not cocky, just that I know whom I serve and the Light has more power than the enemy does... in fact they are losing ground AND getting desperate. (This is not welcome news to those just starting on their spiritual/metaphysical journey; sorry, yet my mention is not for melodrama, nor entertainment -- if you are the slightest bit aware that things are not what they seem, it may keep you from having a nervous breakdown when the sh*t hits the fan, as it is 'supposed to' in the next 2-3 years. And then... nothing is cast in concrete and with enough people aware and sustaining the Light, some debacles just might not happen -- already several Cayce and Nostradamus predictions have been averted -- for the period 1975 - 1999. Yes!!)
[Ever notice I say more in parentheses than normal type? So I'll just switch to brackets.] 
The fact that it might not happen at all makes me reserved in specifying what could happen, and the fewer people who know about possible happenings, the fewer energies are focused on turning it from a possibility to a probability! The Lizzies love fear and I don't want to feed them.
So I like what you say: "it is a choice that we can make" -- and we must remember (as Montalk said) we have choices and not just the 2 we have been pesented with. Think outside the box, choose Light. Go within, ask your Higher Self for an alternative -- They answer when ASKED so as not to 'volunteer' and override your Freewill with what They know They would do.
These next few years are our big chance to finally break the VR deception and it is exciting to know that it IS coming to an end. There are enough high-powered (good) entities here now supporting us in being Matrix Busters that we will only lose if we choose to give up or become apathetic and go down with the Lizzies. What? Read carefully - the Lizzies are on their way out. They will not win. (The earth is too valuabe to other Higher Beings to lose it.) But thru a wrong choice, apathy or indifference, you can lose with them -- they will suck you into their upcoming world because you are not part of the persevering Light force. Hard to explain: you can't be on the fence, or over in their camp, or you lose. Again, it's like a vibrational alignment (resonance) with the coming timeline mitosis. Where do you WANT to be? Intend that. (I'm getting ahead of myself and into the upcoming post...)
Thanks for all the comments, I do read them all and it is tailoring how/what I do with the next post I am currently working on -- which is: Now that the "Prison Planet" shoe has been dropped, how about ideas for positive action -- what can an individual do to serve, heal, teach, and make a proactive difference? Not that the Light really needs our "help", but promoting the Light DOES shorten the time to ultimate victory and there are some ways to do that (which I currently use -- and it has kept Chemtrails out of our area, by the way.)
Chemtrails, btw, are not to poison us although they are caustic when they finally descend into the lower atmosphere and enter our water! The AF Reserve is doing it out of Ohio in old C-130s and old 747s in a desperate attept to make up for a loss of 1/3 of the ozone layer. You have not been told of this (no 10 o'clock news) because the ozone layer deficit is causing skin cancer across the planet and the govt doesn't want people to sue or be alarmed ... it was the atomic (atmosphere) testing and A/C fluorocarbons that did it. Don't know everything that is in it, but it has aluminum particles, bromide/bromine salts, and JP8/9 (jet fuel) for starters... they mean well, but you get a 'choice': skin cancer or pulmonary crapitis. Or... you could just intend to not get either one...
Cheers!
