Speaking generally, you’re right. My experience and take on NLP is that it’s not a terribly useful view as written but contains enough validity in part that it’s worth keeping an eye on. I’d like to caution against taking claims of magic at face value unless you’re so jaded or inured that the word ‘magic’ doesn’t conjure some meaning for you that…[Read more]

Here’s what I don’t understand about this conversation.

This is the LUST EXPERIENCE. The questions asked are about what we desire & what we will do to get it. Not what will we fight for or against. Have you asked yourself those specific questions within the context here? Or asked, even, if there is something that you want badly enough that you…[Read more]

I, too, have had these questions on and off.

Having joined here before the MSE, there have been times where I have legitimately thought, “Isn’t -everyone- involved on either side actually part of the problem?” Or “I can’t join one side and joining the other side might mean aligning myself with really terrible people. So what do I–what CAN I–do…[Read more]

“Beware the Ides of March”

@goddessohwisdom

If everyone is poised to be a backstabber though, what is there to invest in?

I suppose that’s the thing to think about.
Love, friendships, life in general. There is ALWAYS a chance that you’re going to get fucked over. The blunt truth is that you will, in some regard. Sometimes people lie. Sometimes hearts get broken.…[Read more]

Just got a phone call from a no caller ID, Morgan. He called me out for my post about not caring but wanting to. Specifically focused on the idea that people are taking an opposition as opposed to actually siding with something they believe in. Siting that is what we do nowadays ie women’s march etc. He then quoted Elie Wiesel, “We must always…[Read more]

You’ve been involved for a strange month. I would give it another month before making any judgements. I’m a strange person to answer your question as I’m not affected as easily as others and at the same time have been heavily and successfully targeted this year. I’m also not in Los Angeles. Personally I don’t believe you have to care about a side…[Read more]

It’s very hard for me to follow Slack shenanigans due to my work situation.
I was a bit aware of people being banned, questions thrown toward @a, etc. because I checked Slack between a couple of meetings. More informed people than I cannot seem to find a pattern and that is what I found most interesting during the time I was able to “tune in”…[Read more]

Morgan killed A. Hard. In a way that I don’t fully understand.

There may have been pixie dust involved 😜

Annnddd I just got a call from Darren via a No Caller ID. After making sure I wasn’t recording:

“This is Darren Bousman. Look, this whole thing with Morgan. He and I got in a fight two days ago and he’s mad. The more this whole thing becomes vocalized, the harder it’s going to be for me to use him. First and last warning.”

So did Morgan just admit to you that BOS is under DLB’s control? If not being written then at least being monitored by DLB? If he’s “blowing up” Morgan’s phone… is all of BOS bs?

And why tell you, @chelsea? Is it because you’ll ask questions? When you ask why he’s doing it… no BOS member is going to ask that. They already know. “To save us.”…[Read more]

Morgan wasn’t sure if anyone was watching. He said he wasn’t sure if they even cared. I feel like Lia just told us that they are and that they do. Who are you, “they”? And where are Morgan and A?

So what I’m seeing, the general purpose of this meeting is effectively finding something to do, proactively, other than pontificate or sit and wait for instructions? And the BOS narrative, per Morgan, is effectively ‘sit and wait for instructions.’ Therefore the hardcore BOS member is not going to find this meeting fruitful? That a reasonable…[Read more]

I’m really looking forward to this gathering. Because here’s where I’m at:

I went through Ascension on a whim. I hadn’t done anything like it before, and I didn’t know what to expect. But, I’d heard that it had a profound effect on some attendees, and I wanted to experience it for myself.

So, I went. And, it was indeed unlike anything I’d e…[Read more]

I find a lot of the antagonism here pretty strange, given that:

* I was never around to see Tension
* I have no experience of Morgan as “participant” vs. Morgan “IG”. I’ve only seen the latter.
* I have no experience for the early vs. later days of BOS. Again, I’ve only seen the latter.

So I feel like, sometimes, that I’m seeing all of this with…[Read more]

I’ve been meaning to update my old “Where I Stand” post for a while, since we’ve now seen more of the Resistance. Now feels like as good a time as any.

(Note: I’m speaking as a participant, not a mod, here.)

 
Then

Back during Tension, I defected from the OOA to join BOS. I had a few reasons, many of which no longer apply.

1) I believed…[Read more]
