Hunter, "Why do we have to worry about these things here in a forum where we are discussing the politics of interaction between ETs and Terrans? It seems that some might be paying closer attention to how we post than what we say in them." Wow!, it now makes sense why you seem to miss the mark with this overly stretched out position of confusion you are enveloped in, by my observation only of course. This forum has been created for us to study the Spiritual teachings first and foremost, not the, "politics...". It's your choice how to approach this website. I opt for the knowledge, not the galactic gossip. Salome, a friend in america Shawn | ||

Matthew, I think it's obvious now from people's responses that this isn't the place to create your new language at the expense of the Meier material. Your abilities to translate would be appreciated and, frankly, I don't know why we even have to ask you for this, since it should be obvious what a positive contribution it would make. However, since you've now used the same attack that the skeptics like to throw at me about "Money-Making", I'll answer this as I usually do. I do my work for the mission voluntarily, as in for free, gratis, etc. When I make money, it is either from a speaking fee, small as they are when they are given, and/or from selling products. I have produced some of these products and done so at my own expense. All of my travel, research, production, promotion, writing, correspondence, press releases, etc. are done at my expense I place no ads on other sites and I accept no advertising on my site. I am not wealthy, I'm just someone who prefers to make my dreams into realities rather than sit around and indulge in mental masturbation. Further, as Billy remarked, my efforts have helped to spread awareness of the mission more in the few years that I've been doing it than all combined efforts in the 20 years previously. I have had visits to my site from tons of people, in 135 countries, and the new film has already been seen by people in at least 35 countries. In addition to this work, I teach a program of regenerative movement that I created for seniors (average age in my classes is about 88, oldest students 100-102). I have no formal educational background to speak of and didn't learn how to do anything practical until I was about...32 years old, when I also took on sole parenting of my then 10 month -old daughter, who I raised myself. You can read more of my bio at http://theyfly.com/pr/pr.htm#bio. I take it that you're a much younger person than I with an already strong educational and/or self-educated background with useful skills, such as the aforementioned translating abilities. I also sense that you've had some of your own unpleasant early life experiences (my new film features some other young people who also have had such experiences, see http://breakingthesilencemovie.com/) so my suggestion to you is that you contribute that which is of the greatest value to the whole. And that doesn't mean that you can't do all the creative and interesting things that you wish, just prioritize your contribution, out of respect for the source of the material, its source and the other people here who wish to explore it.

Just to pitch in a few tips... 1. Spell checking is built into Firefox. Dump Internet Explorer and use Firefox. 2. Don't chop your sentences so they look like a news article. It doesn't make it any easier to read here. 3. Keep special formatting to a minimum so there's consistency across posts. Don't pretty it up with *glitter*, overemphasis, alternating fonts, etc. that break the flow of scanning that most readers employ to pick out anything of interest. 4. Use paragraphs to denote a change in idea. Gigantic blobs of text really suck. Welcome to Earth! | ||

Hello Scott, Regarding you post number 1637; first, I thank you so much for your consideration. Secondly, I will do my best to fulfill your request. Salome Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||
Creational Member Post Number: 65 Registered: 09-2008 |
Dear Shawn, I hope you are enjoying yourself. Thanks. There is no need to be jealous, just come up with great questions, and/or help modify the already active ones so we can utilize as much from Billy’s wealth of knowledge as possible. Salome Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||
Marcela Member Post Number: 63 Registered: 06-2008 |
Dear moderators: The new section: questions to Billy for peer review", is it for the revision of questions submitted to Billy when the section is open, or is it to ask more questions to be answered by you? Thank you Salome | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1639 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hi Marcela, The list being created is to provide people a place to post their initial question to Billy prior to the Questions To Billy Section opening up. This will allow others if needed to help clarify or re-word the question in a way that provides a more concise or clear wording of the question. This does not mean that everyone must do this, or they will not be allowed to post when the regular section opens up. I admit there are still some bugs to work out in terms of how the questions will be presented and conveyed to Christian and Billy, but I'm sure it can't be too difficult.  Regards Scott | ||
Marcela Member Post Number: 64 Registered: 06-2008 |
Scott: Haaa, great idea; because some questions needed some rewording sometimes and Billy couldn't answer them, and they had to wait till the next round...thanks for the explanation. Salome | ||

To the moderators: Am I correct in my understanding that, regardless of what is posted in the new section regarding revisions of questions for BEAM, each person is responsible for submitting their own question to the questions to BEAM section when it opens, and also that there is always the same first come, first served protocol? The reason that I ask is because some of the posts from Zhila lead me to believe that he/she will be submitting questions for others. Maybe I have misunderstood, and I mean no malice, but there seems to be a little confusion on at least my part. Aside from the above, I would like to chime in as far as opinions go on the new section. It seems to have no real value other than for clarifying the grammar and wording of the questions there. While that is a good thing, I ask myself, and you the moderators, why the old section for questions to BEAM answered by us has been, and remained, closed? It seems to me that the older, now closed, section had much more inherent value in reducing the number of already answered questions being submitted to Mr Meier. It also had great value in pointing out available info that might not be known to the potential inquisitors. In my opinion, it was a mistake to close the old section in favor of opening the new one. They both have value, but it seems evident that the older section had much more inherent and obvious value. For what it's worth... Thomas | ||

Hi Thomas, Yes you understand correctly. Thanks for your opinion, we'll see how this goes. Regards Scott | ||
Phi_spiral Member Post Number: 389 Registered: 03-2007 |
Hi Thomas! Thanks for the kind words in the Mission>>Miscellaneous section. In the new format, one can indeed still answer the question submitted for peer review just as before. The difference being in this new model one would post their response/answer in the appropriate section. For example, if someone submitted a question having to do with reincarnation, you would, of course, post your suggested answer in the section on reincarnation. If someone else believes your answer is not quite right or needs further clarification then they can follow up with a post of their own and a discussion string has begun then in the appropriate section. And if the poster of the original question believes that none of the answers resonate with them, then they can still post the question directly to Billy as they please, just as before. The advantage then of this newer format is that it forces forum members to have any ensuing discussions occur in the appropriate topic headings for future reference. Which, as I understand, was the biggest problem that led to the old format being closed. Thusly, the FIGU forum will continue to evolve and mankind is sure to follow! (I make a joke, yes? But, Siriusly…) Regards Bob | ||

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Pathfinder, You wrote; “Everyone is aware that you have some sort of problem with me personally for some reason, but I suggest that in here you have a job to do for all of us so put your personal feelings aside and try to do the job. There is no need to always condemn me in some way that is NOt your style. I have asked Billy a question. If I have to have it edited by you in order to have it placed, then at least be helpful.” I am really sorry that you or 'anyone' feels this way about me. I neither have any personal issue with you nor trying to condemn you at all. If somehow my words reflected otherwise, I do apologize. However, as far as I recall, my responses were merely effects of your causes (questions, statements, and sometime misstatements). We are all learning here. As a matter of fact, if I recall correctly, I have agreed to some of your posts in the past. I tried to help you by answering your question quoting from Jacob; a very highly informed scholar, hinting that you were somehow correct. Sir, What I am doing with the new tread is not my job; as a matter of fact, no one has a job here, not even Billy. But I am gladly volunteering to help any which way I can. I have given you the benefit of doubt, but please reevaluate your tone with me from now on. Salome Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||

... Warmest Greetings to All, 'DESIDERATA' by 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier Allow other people to freely express their opinions, for they are allotted the same rights as you. Listen to others, to the bright and intellectual individuals, and also to the obtuse, the foolish and those who lack learning, for they, too, have opinions and statements to offer. But distance yourself from aggressive, boisterous and obstinate individuals so as not to become embroiled in their pointless disputes, for such people insult one's consciousness, humaneness and refinement; and yet, at the same time, forget not that they too are beings of Creation, whom you, as a fellow human being, must show appropriate respect, even though you may find their thoughts, feelings, deeds and actions unacceptable. For my own peace-of-mind, and to suggest to all... THAT ONE which IS boisterous and obstinate, who only engages all of us in pointless disputes, who insults our consciousness and refinement... FROM THAT ONE, I WILL DISTANCE MYSELF Salome ... You say you want an Evolution, well you know, we're all doing what we can. -(Beatles revamped) Rod | ||

Dear Zhila, If you go back over the posts you will easily see that I have only been responding to you in kind. I wish that we could speak nicer to each other but if someone says seomthing unfriendly toward me I will respond with an acknowlegment of that fact. I have not been rude, but I will not be friendly if I am not treated friendly. So I guess we should simply avoid responding to each other and that will solve the tone problem.

Thomas Member Post Number: 599 Registered: 03-2004 |
Hello all. I would like to post about my view on a certain thing I have noticed in the forum. I might have commented on it in the past, but I feel compelled to point it out again. This is not an attack or critique of anyone. It is only my view... When we address others, it should of course always be with respect. However, it is not a true sign of respect to use language that doesn't correspond to the actual state of things. To clarify what I am refering to, here is an example (again, this is not directed at anyone in particular): Very often I see people refer to others as "my dear one" or posts often praise others excessively. It is a false way of expressing oneself, even if good intentions are meant, if one doesn't speak in a way that accords the truth of the situation. I am not saying that praise or affectionate expressions are bad in all cases. I am merely saying that it is a good idea to state things as they are. If you do not even know a person to any degree of depth, they cannot truly be dear to you because you don't even really know them. And when you praise someone beyond just stating your appreciation, then you slide into the area of a sort of sugar coated form of speech that is reminiscent of politicians saying only what they know people want to hear in order to get their way or to draw attention to themselves. Once again, this is not an attack and it is only my view. I too am guilty at times of this and I do not object to any of you pointing out my flaws when you notice them. I hope this post is received in the neutral-positive manner in which it was intended... | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1695 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hi Thomas, I have also noticed a tendency in the other direction where people will start off a greeting as Hey Thomas etc...this strikes me as a form of slang or in some instances a degeneration in language. Perhaps this is my own personal idiosyncrasy, but it is something I have noticed. Regards Scott | ||
Thomas Member Post Number: 605 Registered: 03-2004 |
Agreed Scott and I myself have been guilty of that as well. I know it would be counterproductive to be "nit picky" but at the same time, the english language has degenerated from an already lacking language to one of inconsistency and incorrect usage by most. If we all tried to be a little more honest in our communication and tried also to use the language as correctly as possible, it would be a start back toward the right direction in my view. | ||
J_rod7 Member Post Number: 612 Registered: 10-2007 |
*** Thomas, as i see it, your statement "It is a false way of expressing oneself, even if good intentions are meant" is a JUDGEMENT which you are making on others here. You may not know the full purpose behind the way certain among us use these salutations. There are other relationships which may not be apparent to you, and some among us also have interaction outside of this forum. I do agree with another statement you made - there is a need for everyone to express themselves in an understandable, clear language. This would help eliminate misconceptions in meaning. *** You say you want an Evolution, well you know, we're all doing what we can. -(Beatles revamped) Rod |
