I'm not on this thread because I believed something would happen. I'm on this thread because I sincerely wish something had. And in response to the rest of your post: those people who killed themselves obviously had nothing to contribute to the gene pool in terms of intellect. I'm not sorry to see them go, I'm just sorry their parents and society didn't cultivate smarter individuals.
That's the point I'm trying to make here. Everyone is overlooking the actual issue. Sweet, the world didn't end. But see, that still leaves a slew of problems to solve. Let's get on that, yeah? Because they obviously aren't going away. Do you see what I'm saying?
Start your own thread and tell us how stupid the children at Jonestown were for drinking thet Kool Aid. See how far you get with that one, but I'm ashamed of you.

Well, obviously it didn't end. What's the point of continuing to discuss it? This thread is not about the end of the world, it's about a CHANGE. Like I was saying.
I think someone needs to CHANGE the attitude and learn the value of HUMAN life..

Wait, so let me get this straight... you're comparing something someone posted on an internet message board to Hitler and the Holocaust? Wow, just... wow. Godwin's Law never fails, I guess.
You may not have to agree with what people say about "reality", but they're entitled to their beliefs. All I see here is someone trying to inspire people, and a number of folk who can't accept the fact that there are people who think differently than they do.

Please point out where my words deserved that statement so that I can present a proper explanation, because anyone who has ever read my posts knows that the above selection is inaccurate.

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but one incident of someone in the past using inspiration for evil (Jonestown) does not make inspiration itself evil. Any tool can be used for evil or good, leadership and oratory skills included. I don't see any evidence the OP has done anything other than try to inspire people for good. I'm not endorsing the message, but rather pointing out that unless you have actual evidence of sinister intentions in *this* circumstance, it's not right to throw around speculation of sinister intentions.
There have been stories for years about experiments where a clear plate is placed in a fish tank and left for an extended period. When the plate is removed, the fish generally remain on their respective side of the tank. The same thing happens when you put gnats in a covered jar for a while, and then remove the cover. Only a few adventurous creatures emerge, but the bulk of them remain in their self-imposed isolation from the rest of the universe. One of the primary attributes possessed by those few adventurous individuals who escape the jar is awareness (awareness of the jar, the top and a sense of “potential beyond the top”) that exceeds that of the general population. What happened to the fish in the tank and the gnats in the jar? Somehow, their original intent, freedom and nature was subverted by something else, first imposed from an external source and then willingly, but unconsciously, self-imposed with equal vigor in deference to the perceived existence of the status quo.
See the obove post of mine buddy which refers to what i posted it can't be argued with, after infinty
spoke the words not i regarding the disresectfull value of life. Coming from a new ager doesn't sound very
heartfelt in his message of peace and the like..
I see somes desending back down to earth instead of ascending ..

Look at what the elites have sold the masses in their false wars on communism and terror. They transformed good people into murderers to play out their games in order to further their own selfish agendas. They were forced to look alike, act alike and not to question what they were doing. So many wasted and tortured lives. Pawns in a game they didn't create because they did not exercise their free will to perceive the bigger picture. Once your mind is divided it is much easier to manipulate especially in the hands of those who have been playing this game for a long time. The biggest threat to the elite is that we wake up to from their schemes and to do that we need to perceive the bigger scene. The choice is ours. We can do along with the game; drink, breed, conform, consume, belittle those who are in tune to a greater perception and act like gnats in jar or we can quiet our minds and see what else is possible.

I don't think it would be illogical to assume that you completely ignored my last few posts, and that you are continually pushing your assumption based on a few quotes that were misrepresented by none other than yourself.

I was talking about people killing themselves because they thought the world was ending. That statement in the quoted selection, you said that yourself. I never said anything about any children.
