I was recently digging through the 98-99 archives, to locate a certain event date that happened in that period. I kept noticing many compliments and thanks, given by classmates, for all the posts I had written and for starting the list. I thought it might be useful to compile a document of my past posts. I began with post one and worked my way forward, excluding members lists, that I periodically provided, and administrative information. Whew! In the very first two months I had posted enough to fill a 43 page Word document.

I was thinking back to those first days also. It was amazing how much participation we had at the beginning. I remember that with only a couple dozen members we often had over 40 posts per day, sometimes 60. Almost everyone in the group was involved.

The group at the time was very excited about learning new material. A comment I heard several times is that channeled material and other writings just seemed to be a rehash of past revelations. They were happy to receive material that was unlike anything they had read elsewhere.

I used to surf through the web looking at the other forums on the web and could not find any, even with 20 times our membership, that made so many posts.

The reasons the postings are not some numerous now is multifold. Even though I still give out new material the newness is not so new and I am probably not giving out new material quite so often.

Another thing is that a new member in the old days had the forum as his main point of focus. Now some of the new members get interested in the archives and spend quite a bit of time there. Some even decide to read them all before they do anything on the list.

Whatever the case, I am not disappointed with the group for it is going through a natural course of evolution.

Some have been critical of me for not proceeding full steam ahead with a plan of action. I have found through past experience that it does little good to initiate a plan unless you have power to move that plan ahead. Presently my only free time is in the early hours of the morning and that is not sufficient to initiate much action. Instead I have used that time over the past eight years to write. Even if I were to fail at all action aspects of the plan my writings will stand and be a force for good for a long time to come.

My first major hurdle is to free my hands so I can spend a couple years without worry about paying the bills in dedication to a plan of action. I am much closer to this point than when the group began. If I were to proceed ahead prematurely and then have to withdraw in six months to make a living again then all the effort would be lost.

In preparation for this plan I have concluded that I need a book that will get me on talk shows in most areas. The Immortal won't quite do that for us. This is why I will soon go back and work on the political book I started posting a while back. I'll probably throw in some of the global warming material I've been posting.

I may also get on some talk shows with "The Unveiling" book as many are interested in the Apocalypse, the Beast, the Mark, etc. but this will not have the appeal of a new political slant.

If I can get in the media by any means and direct them to freeread.com then many will check out my spiritual writings. I believe "The Immortal" series has the potential to sell as many copies as "The Celestine Prophecy" or "The Da Vinci Code" if it is able to catch the public's attention.

I know some have wavered in faith in me because of the length of time that has passed without aggressive action, but it matters not. What matters is that I do not give up. Believe me. Things will not continue as is forever. I have the next step firmly in my mind and that step will be taken at the first practical moment.

There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
