Just a hello

I've been told to introduce myself, so here I am

Not quite sure what to put here, it feels like I'm introducing myself to a support group of which I am a new member. So I'll just say, Hi, I'm Pixie777, and I fell off the wagon that THEY (whoever "they" may be) would like to keep us on, about 8 years ago.

It's like choosing between the red pill and the blue pill, one you will dive down this well, and find out stuff, that you sometimes wish you never did, and the other one, will keep you in this blissful state of ignorance. I can't remember which is which, but I know I took the one that I took the dive in, and once you do, there's no stopping it, it's like suddenly your mind gets re-wired, and wiring it back the way it was, is impossible, not that I want to ... well ... sometimes I do, but if I think about it, would I really want to go back to that state of non-awareness? .... Nah

I want to know the truth, and will keep looking for the truth, I want to be open-minded, at the same time not so open-minded that my brains would fall out I believe the only way to do that, is to keep yourself informed and to research everything. Just believing something simply because you want to be open-minded, can be very unhealthy too, one must maintain a balance and keep your feet on the ground.

I hope I can find a second home here, where I can do just that, and communicate/debate with people searching for the answers, as I am.

Hehe speculativeoptimist, I think normal is completely overrated. Why be a normal average person, if you can have all the excitement of a loony and not a boring day in your life? It's a ride and a half. Thanks for the welcome

Welcome Pixie777! I like your analogy about the blue and red pill, its very true. The only difference it that when you go down the well and start learning the truth you can play the game and pretend to be 'normal' if you dont want the social stigma. Well thats what I do to a certain extent with people who I know will never open their mind no matter what evidence is before them.

This is the right place to find interesting stuff out, be warned there are still stuff on herre thats just plain wrong or that has its own agenda from the truth but im sure you wont be troubled distinguishing them from each other.

Welcome and enjoy!

Welcome to ATS. Yeah, there's quite a bit of information to take in, be it bad or good. An important thing to remember on ATS is to do your own research on things that attracts your attention and take everything with a grain of salt. Therefore, you're not living by anybody else's conclusions but your own. Anyways, hope to talk, debate, and just share view points, see you around the Forums.

Hi Clint

Yes, you are so right, I do it too, I think one has to, it just seems that we are so completely surrounded by people that simply don't WANT to know the truth, and if you try to tell them, then they frown on you, like you're about to go completely wonky on them, and have some sort of a tick, ugh!! The feeling that comes from them doing that, is just unbearable, especially if it's from people that you love, so we have to pretend like we just like them. I hate it though, it always feels like I can't be myself around them.

Oh I know about the other agenda business, I have been lurking for a while and have picked up on it, so don't worry, I'll be on guard, and it's like I said, the only way to avoid getting sucked into that kind of info, is to just research the stuff they are claiming for yourself. Thank you for the welcome

Thank you Subbam, I agree with you, besides, I like researching. It's funny, because when I was in school, you wouldn't catch me dead doing research, and tended to avoid it like the plague. Now, there is just so much one can learn and find out that's out there and I am finding it fascinating. I am aware, that some sites are more reliable than others, and I have those that I find more reliable, bookmarked. It doesn't mean that I won't read the others though, what I tend to do, is put it in a filing system, to review later, if things change, or more evidence is found on the subject matter.

On predictions, nah, interesting to read, but hardly ever accurate The thing with predictions, is nothing is written in stone, the future can change. Every choice that people make, can change a prediction, a prediction, is only one path a certain event may take, but it could take an entirely different path, if something put on that path, changes. I think it's better to stick to that analogy anyways, because if we believed all the doom prophets, everything is going to go very dark very soon (and it's always very soon, like just around the corner) It doesn't mean that it can't happen, or wont happen, it just means, it may happen, but it could change as well, so don't stake your life on it, would you agree?

I hope to see you around as well, debate and discuss. I think at first I'm going to just get a feel for actually being a member, before jumping in. It's one thing to lurk, it's different to become fully active. Thank you for the welcome, you guys and gals are great I by the way, am a gal

Welcome Pixie777 to ATS enjoy your stay. If you find fragments of truth put them all together when you have gathered enough and you may see.

Be well

Thank you Ophiuchus

I will do so and I have seen, from lurking, I will have to make sure, I have all my facts straight, before attempting that one, but I will, and then we'll see

reply to post by Pixie777


I can relate with you there. Whenever it came to school, absolutely no interest in researching. However, as I got older, that quickly changed. I just find it ironic that I was never able to talk to some of my friends that had moved on to College or University on there "level" after I left High School. Now I out pace them with my knowledge on a vast variety of subjects. I guess the whole point to that is to never underestimate somebody who wants to learn, regardless of where they're at in life and enviroment, they will. I think for where there's a good researcher, there's a very strong minded and fairly balanced person.

You have a very good view on predictions and I totally agree. Predictions are more or less one path of a certain event that may hold an almost unlimited amount of roads other than just that one road that somebody themselves may have been shown. Alot of people get too caught up in predicitions as far as I'm concerned to the point where they allow such things to dictate their lives and that is a very dangerous mix.

Yeah, I just signed up fairly recently also and it is different from just lurking around compared to interacting with all the unique minds and opinions that this site has to offer.
