Announcement: NR Forum Closing on Feb 22nd, 2008 (Page 4 of 13)

The end of an era.

I'm not sayin bye yet. But what a ride huh?
I am happy about moving on, but I know some others feel like they're not ready.
I needed this place pretty badly when I found it, I have to remind myself that NR IS the reason I don't need NR.

I think that is the highest compliment I can give the forum.

I have no intentions of ever being part of another forum like this one, simply because they could never be this one. I see others have said the same thing, I totally agree.

The timing of it all, our position in the solar system, had to all come together for all of us to find it when we did. I am sad for the newer members who won't have the real-time exchanges. They will find their way too, whether they know it now or not.

Glad to see we'll still have the login email option- that was quite unexpected- very nice. And you're all welcome to use mine.

And peeps, don't make this a month long goodbye, let's wait until the third week of February for our final goodbyes.

We still have other things to discuss.

Ok?

It's interesting, because  for the last year I've been staying away from internet communications because it opens up an unknown into my house.  Then when I found this place a few days ago I thought it seemed like (mostly) a  place that liked to talk about uplifting ways to deal with what's going on in the universe.  I liked that.   But then when I posted and got a clear hit on me in the etheric,  I realized again the dangers of opening to computer contact.   
  Yesterday I felt like I should just keep my communications to  "in person" contact and one-on-one's and that I should stay away from   forums.    And today I logged on and found that my choice is easier to make now because this little temptation will be removed.   

The challenge in life is to take the information and not turn it into negative ego crap that only brings us further down,  but   look at the reality, which may be negative, but turn it around and do something constructive and helpful with the knowledge.  Rather than fear let it bring pro actions.  What are the alternatives really?     Let it fill us with wisdom and the actions to go with that, rather than fill us with fear and the actions that cycle that never ending loop of stagnation.    If we  let information do the latter to us  then we are led to these sites not for freedom but for enprisonment.    If we  take the route of the former approach, then these sites and information can transform us  into positive wisdom that is spread like a fire.   

thanks for welcoming me in for even such a short time.

I'm leaving you all with a poem  (yeah,  I'm a poem writer)  Actually, I'm a song writer and put the words to music, but I haven't found music for this one yet. 
It talks about Nataraj,  a Hindu myth god who comes into your life through dance and will cause you to express things through dance of the body and transform you.   If Nataraj dances into your life you are lucky.... if a person can just break away from the weed, the games, the t.v., the food, and endless distractions  long enough to invite her in?

Dance of Nataraj

This sweet Bliss inside…
moves me,
it dances out  a rhythm
in my soul.
It’s stamped on every cell
and fiber of my being
it encompasses my life
as it will.

When Nataraj dances
she moves me,
if I let her she will kill
all but this bliss.
She’s   there in every breath
And fiber of my being
And transforms my life
if I will.

Such grace and ease
do I fight it?
Why, tell me why
would I fight it?
This dancer is
a tangle
of limb and mind
and soul
with each step
she moves me
to know my whole.

This sweet Joy inside…
it flows.
It’s the only true nature
that I know.
A lover’s dance begins
To unfold within the soul
And transforms my life
as It will.

This love inside…
  moves me.
It is only what I AM
and nothing more.
It shivers up my spine
and looks out through these  eyes,
  it dances ‘til the ego
is no more.

Pictus.....You rulez!  Please, use it as much as you like here at NR. It is a very endering parting phrase which makes me laugh (in a loving way).

Good riddance, man.  You're a very artful guy, and it's been a pleasure to read your expressions.

We love you!

I love Pictus!! He's funny and just a really chill and cool guy. He never really fights and I just feel very laid back vibes from this guy! He's def. not a weirdo. Whenever I see a Brazillian flag or hear Portuguese being spoken in the city, I think: "Pictus is Brazilian!" .

And please, KEEP ON SAYING "GOOD RIDDANCE!" haha.  Muito obrigado, Pictus

Namaste, Montalk. I'm sure your life is a really awesome wave, I'm happy for you. Feel free to contact me if you ever get discouraged. I feel excited for you lol as you will have a big opportunity to do new things, I'm sure they will be great. The best from you is needed, and if I had money I would bet on ya to find a way.

Guys n gals, I would like to open up a new discussion forum, that I think someone who frequents NR would enjoy similarly. I have big plans. Maybe right now anyone looking for a replacement could send me some contact info, and I will keep it in a list? Then when I have got something set up, I'll let all of you know. Of course I will not distribute the list. Hmmm to describe my intentions, I am not satisfied with any discussion forum on the net that I can find, not by a long shot even, so I have to make a new one. NR is pretty good tho. I can understand that NR is a piece of the evolution, so I would like to offer the next step. Now that the kind of subject matter discussed on NR can be discussed in a variety of different places and isn't as novel anymore, really I think the focus will shift towards specific perspectives about it, about reality. And there are so many different views, I see no better way to proceed then to take it back to logic, now that the possibilities have become accepted among a good number of people. Now we need to do the logical work. Like if there is a way of saying it so that people understand, then why can't we do it? Otherwise, there is no way, right? If there is a way, then we can realize it. Probably none o y'all think there is a fashion through board moderation that Truth can be realized in discussion forum setting.. with a totally open and free system.. no aggression.. and no one getting mad at the rules.. but there is. What I'm proposing, you'd not have any reason to believe it can be realized, because it hasn't been yet, for its purpose is to express the very possibility in question of clear expression of Truth as more than a 'possibility'. It will sound just as crazy as the matrix conspiracy type ideas sounded in the old days. Because it is completely logical, without conflict with faith or emotion or anything, and you cannot deny it. One universal religion, not a religion at all. It's called the opposite of ignorance, and no one recognizes it yet. I will post a thread about it later, but I just wanted to get y'all thinking bout it ... we can all become self-realized.. so that we can finally *START* living and evolving!

For all you new-agers who pay attention to such things, sure you better believe I have the full support and blessings of the powers that be however you wish to call them. I have a green light.

Wow!!

The school is one step forward than the student - as always!   

I've been around here for a long time and learnt really really great things. But lately I was feeling my time was up (as being a.. ahem... eee... F.CKER)!

So, I was planning to thank everybody for unbelieveable insight & info that helped me to progress a lot and graduate from NR - but before I could find time to write this, I entered to see Tom's announcement. Excellent timing, Tom. From the first day on, I know that 2008 is different.

And it will be different.

Million thanks to all you guys & gals. You're the best bunch of Outsdiers around. We'll be meeting somewhere/sometime.

Feritciva, The Graduate

I second that.  Three cheers for Pictus!
