David Wilcock

[MarkM]

Everyone, I can definitely appreciate the importance of venting one's feelings.

It's not my intention to invalidate anyone's experiences. I shared a bit of what I experienced over at asc2k myself! At the same time, I know that Carla's vision for our Bring4th forum is for it to remain positively focused. We aspire to do that without undue moderation or censorship!

Now that some opinions have been expressed and some venting has been (lovingly!) done, may I suggest that we start steering this thread back in the direction of discussing the ideas and concepts espoused by DW, rather than him personally.

It is with a measure of deep interest that I have perused the entirety of this thread!

Bring 4th is really a lovely breath of fresh air, I stand appreciative of the mutual respect which proliferates and is the order of the day.

Much intellectual repartee has been engaged in between members here, and this has served to stimulate much thought and reflection on my part, as 'Wilcockian' reservation and point and counterpoint from a truly world class foundation of LOO students is presented here, seemingly unabridged and complete.

I feel compelled to attempt to make a salient point as regards the LOO. The Ra material per se is not the Law of One. It is an attempt (albeit the best we have in modern times to summarize) to express something of the Law of One, yet the Law of One is something eternal and unchanging since the first distortion of the one infinite intelligence.

I would attempt to draw a distortion-tinged distinction between that which is at the core of beingness and the intellectual presentation of the written Ra books. The written words can only be countenanced as firstly something which enters the mind of the reader, and will then to varying extents be picked up by the larger being of the reader, to resonate or not; as is in resonance with the whole being of the reader.

The scholarly terminology pertaining to the concept of a Law of One scholar may be referring to one who has made an exhaustive study of the five books in question, and has thrashed about the issues of interpretation of the intent of the Ra as to sudden vs. gradual, etc., as well as the many finer points of the Ra's dictated work.

What of one who has resonated with the core message, and found that this marvelous body of work bespeaks that which is already felt and accessible at the larger intuitive core of being which has a history of living the LOO and is already expressing the LOO in every day life?

To sceptics who question another's scholarly qualifications to speak of aspects of the LOO, I suggest again that the LOO is no more in the province of the Scholar, anymore than it is in the province of some simple maiden or gent living the Law, yet who has never heard of it - yet approaches the world with love and the desire to share and promote love and outward service as per their own native calling.

One who rises on his own solitary initiative, in love and attempts to spread and multiply unconditional love and a rare (on this ginormous interweb ) positive view of our collective predicament directed to as wide an audience as possible despite their human frailties and warts and imperfections will do more good for our common cause - provided they can withstand the tide of inevitable depolarisation attempts - than those who endlessly quibble with and promote their intellectual fine points and attempt to undermine, (perhaps inadvertantly) a great cause.

What, I may ask certain detractors, have you done which approaches DW's great effort to appeal to the collective human family, in the way of direct appeal to love via the incalculable resource of the internet?

As David has purposely appealed to the full gamut of seekers; from the early awakening to issues of the neg intrigue and doom and gloom (of which there are millions, I can tell you!) to those who are ready to shed themselves of the sense of worldly intrigue and bottomless mystery, he to me represents a current champion in the ways of appealing to our collective yet infinitely varied state of being. Many will feel rightfully that he doesn't resonate, but millions may potentially resonate, and be prompted to try on the lens of intuitive gut feeling of the message of the man, and come perhaps eventually to the written encapsulation (or gut instinctive, intuitional apprehension) of the Law of One. 'Scholarship' is a very minor consideration, in light of all.

No one is perfect, and all will ever continue to learn as they go.

As for moi, many of you know me as a senior mod on David's forum. As David is attemping a great outreach to the totality of the community of seekers and beyond, he is bound to get on his forum a huge amount of neg stuff. Much of our stringent mod policies erupt in answer to the fact that we try to maintain a positive gathering of LOO based spirituality.

The huge influx of truly negative and demeaning posts requires of us that we be rather strict as to the deluge of negativity. Many have expressed dismay, rightfully so, and yet it is not you to whom we speak.

Those who wish to detract are very many - and so to be fair to all, certain guidelines are enforced across the board, only with a mind to maintain a level playing field, and to keep out the tides of serious negative comment. When addressing such a large cross-section of seeking humanity, there is so much negative imput that mod policies need to maintain an even keel of forum etiquette, so to speak. I do so hope you understand this need of ours to keep precious and beautiful David's forum! Mark
