Hi Scott, I recently saw your addition to someone's post saying not to add active links. I just want to make sure I'm respecting the moderators and not making extra work: are you meaning not to post active links even if using the link feature above the compose message box? Just checking, Thanks! Hi Shannon, Yes, just typing in the link without using any formatting is prefered ie; www.figu.org Thank you for asking. Regards Scott *pureharmony* | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1625 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hi Shannon, I wanted to clarify and amend my comments to you concerning posting active links. It is permitted to post an active link if it is a FIGU related link within the FIGU website. In addition, I would say at this point it is ok to post active links to Michael Horns Website since he is the American Representative for FIGU. The reasons for this "policy" are due to certain "security" and legal issues. With this said, I or the other moderators will miss people posting an active link occasionally, so if you see this, it is just an oversight on our part. Regards Scott | ||

Dear moderator/s, Is there any specific reason why my different comments are not being posted? I noticed that time wise, some posts are published that have been written after mine. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or my messages are simply not worth posting, just don’t leave me in the dark here.  {sad} Thank you so much. Salome Zhila, THANK YOU BILLY. | ||

* *** Hello Zhila, I do not speak for the Moderators, Scott or Badr. You are not alone in 'Posts being "lost".' Some of my recent posts have also not found the light of day. Sometimes, this may be due to being 'off-Topic' for the specific section. Other 'reasons' being 'not related' to FIGU or the Teachings or the Plejarens or the Contact Notes or whatever - whatever - &c &c. Sometimes for no apparent rational 'reason.' Sometimes things 'just get lost.' Those Posts which you wish to express as important and/or relevant to discussion, I would suggest to keep a copy thereof in a Word Processor or Draft E-mail or the like. Especially those which have involved research efforts, ongoing thoughts and inspirations, &c, should be saved. Then, if they do 'get lost' you could simply copy and attempt to re-post. I wonder myself, where such 'lost posts' actually do go. Salome *** * From One Eternal Spiritual Being to All Others, Awaken to Your true Essential Being J_rod7 | ||

Dear J_rod7, We not only share dreams, we act similarly also. I have a document saved of all my posts here. Eventually, most of my posts were posted. Since it was delayed a bit compared to prior postings, I thought there might have been an issue. I now learned that I have to be a bit more patient at times. It’s always a learning process. Thanks again, Salome Zhila, THANK YOU BILLY. | ||

J_rod7, You mean the Akashic records? Very clever! To all members, Since there is such limited time and number of questions allowed to ask Billy, while he justifiably does not waste time with redundant and silly questions, I have an idea; please participate if you can to either refine, modify, adjust and/or totally reject it. What if we ask the moderators to open a new subfolder under such name as “members prepared monthly questions to Billy”; while in between, we all do a combined effort to pinpoint and basically design or create the best concise and to the point body of questions together. I mean we have all the time in the world to do that compared to Billy. Each Member is then allowed to submit their rough draft, general inquiry while others, more informed members modify them while answer the parts already known by some; Eliminating by trial and error the repetition while refining the perfect questions to be answered by Billy or the Plejarens, if needed. Somehow, this has been done indirectly, but not in an organized, methodically correct way to be able to utilized the maximum benefit from Billy and or plejarens vast knowledge. Meanwhile, we can leave some room for individually oriented questions. We can even come up with a committee to organize something of the sort. It will become a great source by itself to go to, kind of like the concerns of our combined conscious block, finally being answered. Please think about it and let me hear your feedbacks. Salome, Zhila, THANK YOU BILLY. | ||

Hi Zhila, Do you mean something similar to this older topic area: http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/12/3856.html?1155825515 Scott | ||

Hi, Zhila I think it's a great idea and I for one support it! BTW, a belated welcome to the forum. Regards Bob | ||

Good Morning Scott, Having done this for as long as you kindly have, you probably get tired of us freshmen with supposedly new ideas from our point of views. I personally thank you for your patience and supervision. Well, I did go over some of the archives under “Questions to Billy Answered by Ourselves”, but it is not at all organized the way I envision this format, and thus it is different from what I am really suggesting. This older topic does not appear to be an attempt to narrow down and sort of mold a list of prospective questions to a point that it is neither redundant nor silly to Billy. It might have started as such but I failed to find such initiative checking the very first related posts. You guys are definitely a better judge. Please let me know if I am in the right track if you can. Thanks for your response. Salome Zhila, THANK YOU BILLY. | ||
J_rod7 Member Post Number: 506 Registered: 10-2007 |
* *** Hello Scott, Zhila, and All, Scott, I think member Zhila has a workable Idea. Yes, SIMILAR to the section as "Questions to Billy WE answer". As I see it, and as Zhila suggests, a composite-Question Forum section. People therein could propose questions to Billy, then the Moderators or Christian would combine similar ideas/questions to be presented to Billy for his answers. This would reduce redundancy, provide Billy an opportunity to expound a little more deeply, and expand the available input from interested members. Currently limited to 20-direct questions, this would provide more input capability for more people than 20. This doesn't mean to combine everything into one question/statement, rather to 'boil-down' 3,4,or 5 similar into one. Continue this until some dozen or so good ones, representing 30 or 40 members, are presentable for Billy. The only 'kicker' here, is the need to interpret or interpolate what some people want answered. Such poorly constructed or 'nebulous' questions would be precluded, or answered as an individual question, as now, by Billy. Good Idea Zhila.

Dear Bob, It’s an honor to both have your support and warm welcome. Do you have any input as to how to do this right? As an example: We can ask members to start submitting their questions in that new topic or the one shown by Scott (1632). We can start numbering each individual’s question for future modification reference. (Ex: creational Q1) We can modify, adjust, or delete as each question is submitted. We can ask moderators to submit the approved question to Billy when he is online so we won’t miss the opportunity. And so on and so fort! This way, we utilize every member's expertise and get right to the point while indexing as we go. I am getting excited already!  Salome Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||
Phi_spiral Member Post Number: 377 Registered: 03-2007 |
Hi Zhila, My thoughts are to keep it simple. Simple and voluntary. It could be even as simple as the following: The moderators create a new string heading called: Questions To Billy Submitted For Peer Review A poster who would like to have their question reviewed by other forum members before submitting it to Billy, could simply post it there first. And anybody on the forum could reply to it and advise whether it has been asked before, whether they know the answer can be found somewhere else in the Meier material or simply to make suggestions as to improve its’ wording and clarity. The poster will retain the right of option to either take the suggestions or not. And when the round of questions are open again, it will be just as before, everybody has the same equal rights to ask Billy their question directly. That’s it. I think your other ideas are equally fine. But my thinking is that if people can look at it as a “tool” rather than a “requirement” they will act responsibly and use it if they feel the need. Plus, I think a more simplistic format will be more acceptable and less taxing for the moderators. Regards Bob p.s. Some of the more silly questions, as it turns out, seem to be good fodder for laughter and entertainment by core group members. | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1634 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hello, At this point things must be kept simple with little or no additional work for the moderators. Also, it will have to be done in such a way that it is still based on he or she who posts first, gets their question answered in the same respective order. Hopefully this will lead to discovering an answer to the question beforehand and not lead to discussion concerning the subject being asked about. The question section will open up again sometime in the early part of January, so this should be put into motion in the next week or so. Please keep in mind one question per person. If I understand this correctly, it will then be up to each person to post their question, once it has been determined exactly what the questioner wishes to ask? or would someone be responsible for creating a pre-list from each poster, which then would be submitted as one post as I do with the answers? Regards Scott | ||
Phi_spiral Member Post Number: 378 Registered: 03-2007 |
Scott: "If I understand this correctly, it will then be up to each person to post their question, once it has been determined exactly what the questioner wishes to ask?" Yes, you understand correctly. Or they can choose to not post a final question afterall for whatever reason: another forum member provides a satisfactory answer or they decide it is not really important, etc. Regards Bob | ||
Creational Member Post Number: 54 Registered: 09-2008 |
Dear J_rod7, I am exceptionally happy that you see some merit in this idea of mine. Dear Bob (Phi_spiral), Your post 377 is precisely what I have in mind! Last but not least, my dear Scott, Your participation as a member is up to you but as a moderator, I realize you guys have a lot in your plate. So your only part may be a mere cut and paste once the questions are finalized and you are informed. If that is also too much, then I can personally be in charge and once the questions are confirmed, I can just address them to the moderator to submit with the name of each member next to the question; even that can be done by me, I suppose. I have no problem reducing some of the loads from your shoulders. Come to think of it, instead of moderating/managing 10 or so different posts and posting it for Billy, you only have to do one post with majority of the questions in them. If some decide to do their own questions, they simply don’t participate. To all interested members, In my next post, I will submit a hypothetical proposal/format for your review. Please consider the idea and participate in its modification, simplification or expansion. Salome, Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||
Creational Member Post Number: 55 Registered: 09-2008 |
Dear Members, Bellow, please find my proposal, in an attempt to clarify these simple yet efficient and organized steps involved in my recent idea. This plan is in regards to corroboration of interested members to try to ask Billy better formatted questions in hope of even better overall answers. ------------------------------------------------------ Step1. To create a new sub Tread: The Topics; The Mission; "Billy" Eduard Albert Meier; Ex. “Questions to Billy Submitted for Peer Review”(new) ------------------------------------------------------- Step2. To come up with new questions(Hypothetical seven participating members and their original questions.); (User name) 1 proposing Question 1 (User name) 2 proposing Question 2 (User name) 3 proposing Question 3 (User name) 4 proposing Question 4 (User name) 5 proposing Question 5 (User name) 6 proposing Question 6 (User name) 7 proposing Question 7 Ex: Member Creational, Question 1: Of all the people in the world, why are you contacted, Billy? ------------------------------------------------------ Step3. To give all participating members, a reasonable time frame for other members to suggest modifications such as; A. Reduce; B. Expand; C. Reinstate; D. Finalize. Ex: why You Billy? Ex: Of all the people in the world, why are you contacted as a profit, Billy? Ex: Why are you a profit, Billy? Ex: Overall, why You Billy? Note: (let’s face it; there are a lot of us with English as our second tongue, including Billy.)  ------------------------------------------------------ Step4. To arrange a new post by one elected member with a list of all the seven finalized questions next to pertinent member; 1. Modified Question 1 from (user name) 1 2. Modified Question 2 from (user name) 2 3. Modified Question 3 from (user name) 3 4. Modified Question 4 from (user name) 4 5. Modified Question 5 from (user name) 5 6. Modified Question 6 from (user name) 6 7. Modified Question 7 from (user name) 7 Ex: Question 1; Overall, why You Billy? From: member Creational. ------------------------------------------------------ Step5. To either; the elected member informs the moderator about the finalized post and to please submit on all of our behalf; or, the elected member submits the list; or, each member submits their pertinent modified question individually. Ex: List of questions to Billy by participating members' peer review; Dear Billy, We hope all is well; 1. Member, Creational; Question 1; why You Billy,overall? 2. 3. And so on. ------------------------------------------------------ This will be according to creational and natural laws; organized, and efficient , therefore much more productive, logically. It also is a working progress with minor adjustment as we proceed. That’s it! Salome, Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1635 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hi Zhila, I have looked over your proposal. As it stands right now, my opening up the Questions to Billy Section follows after I receive the completed answers from Billy via Christian who types them up and sends them to me. When I post the answers this is the signal for most people that the section is open to receive questions. In order for this to work as I see it, I would have to hold off on opening up the section until your list is somewhat complete. At that point I would submit your completed list, and then those who have not posted any questions to your list would then have an opportunity to also submit their questions as always. The only thing is, will it be fair to those who do not know about this section and are waiting for the regular section to open up, and when it does, there is no room for their questions. It would seem the most efficient way to do this, is to have everyone submit their questions to the pre-list, and then that will be the final and only list which goes to Billy. Let me know if I am reading your intentions correctly. Thanks Scott | ||

In regards to Adam/Phenix, I would like to present my opinion on how you address people here on the forum. This is not meant as an attack, but only an opinion which you may consider or not as you please. I notice that very often you address people as "Noble whomever" and "Honorable so and so" and I wanted to make something apparent to you if you are willing to hear me out. When you add these little "titles" to people all the time, and especially to people that you really do not know at all on a personal, "in person" way through spending time with them in life (versus on the forum), you do yourself a disservice. I realize that you are likely just trying to be respectful, and that is a respectable thing in itself. However, the use of titles and such in the manner that you illustrate, is indicative of diplomacy and false respect. I do not mean that you actually do not respect the people you address this way, but at the same time, you cannot know who on this forum is truly honarable or noble unless you know them in "real" life. I hope you don't take this in any way other than as a statement of my perspective, rather than that of an attack on you. How you present yourself is your choice, but I hope that you will at least consider what I am saying. Sincerely, Thomas |
