The Vision

The Vision is very simple.
Of course, I wish a platform for my own expression. I write.
Here I write what I want with no restraints.
But more importantly, I have been frustrated with the minimizing of the large social networks.
It has gotten increasingly more difficult to use their services to share large amounts of information
in a cohesive and user friendly manner.
I miss the days when a group was where people gathered in one place to easily discuss the many
diverse characteristics of one subject. Remember when you could go into a forum and find a list of posts with subjects so that you could CHOOSE what you were reading, because you did not necessarily wish to know all the other stuff presented there? I sure do. And I surely miss the format, as well. It made for a really nice way to database a subject.
Nice thing is, it is not a format lost forever. On personal sites across the internet, people still choose this format for their forums and conversations. Because a lot of people want the option to easily browse subject lines for pertinent material. The social networks do not seem to notice (nor care) that they are removing this capability from the end user. It is a common enough complaint about the new streamlined site formats, nowadays.
So, the blogs are my world - however it may be unfolding in the moment when I can finally find the time to write. That's a harder accomplishment than it sounds like most days, for one reason or another. I have recently added a comments module to the software so that we can interact through the blogs (finally!) in this manner.
The forums are our shared world - experiences, knowledge, understanding, new ideas, sharing connections, sharing, sharing, sharing whatever it is in the moment that seems to be a piece of the puzzle, an element of the equation, a notion towards The Answer (of whatever Question it is for which we are seeking solution). I hope to rekindle an interest in building an active, living database of education and support, where people of knowledge share of their wisdom and where novices on their paths may stop off and discover inspiration, teachings, and waiting hands to assist them on their way. Can there be too many such places? Truly?
Many unhappy events brought this project to a screeching halt soon after its inception in this form in 2009. This current site design, in 2011 is a rekindling of hope for me, a reignition of some vague dreams that swim at the edge of my consciousness, and a definite conscious attempt to keep alive a young but important tradition of being able to freely disseminate information in an efficient and user friendly manner so that we may all benefit as we each share, grow, and become what we are intended to be.
So, that is that in a (bit of a large) nutshell. I would appreciate it if you would try to see this vision with me, and if you can - sign up in the forums and begin sharing what your heart has discovered to be your truth. The world needs your perspective. There are so many coming up behind us who need the hastily scrawled roadmaps we are trying to create for them!!
NAMASTE.

(2012 update to this unpublished plea from last year): I am reactivating the forums, as I consider how to reconstruct them and how to possibly resdesign the site. If you have an interest in them, your input ANYWHERE within them would be highly valuable to me as I ponder what direction I want this site to take in this new year that promises to hold so very much potential for all of us. It is my intention to continue to do my small part in fostering the Awakening of Mankind and the Ascension of all within this realm of Creation. I am blessed continually by your participation, and I am very grateful for your presence.
