bsbray, I have to add an anecdote to that post and the scenario you post.
Back on the 3rd of January 2011, I woke from restless sleep (which is not totally common for me), And even without getting out of bed, opened my laptop and opened the PA webpage. I had never looked at the forum there. I had for a few years or more watched the interviews that were put out. I had belonged to a few other forums prior to that, but not for a while. So, I basically opened up the web page, saw a new interview called, "The Rulers of the World", and applied for forum membership there as I started to watch the video, all rather automatically as if I was being led.
The profound thing about it was that there were quite a few other new members join up that claimed the same thing. Looking back, it was quite an important period with good lessons to be learned and behaviours to observe.
The state of the community was feverish, people reading every single letter of every post.
To this day, I am sure, there was definitely something going on there. Two purposes, one in which the information was a big distraction, but one in which the flipside was enlightening regards how people can react to certain events, even when they are meant to be harder to fool. But I am not entirely sure how that huge wave of people arrived in the same way I did. Like, 'who' was behind it. I prefer to think I am, good. And get 'helped' by 'the good'..
Anyway. I also agree with Aragorn, thanks for that post. Hopefully the above goes a way to describe still seeing silver linings in the clouds etc. Sometimes I feel I perhaps might come across blunt to some people, I was brought up in a no-nonsense kind of way. But at the end of the day, most people still have my respect for being whoever they are, because each has their part to play, regardless of what part that is, without them there are no lessons.
