It should always be remembered that nothing other than positive energy will be upheld here, regardless of the difficulties encountered - whether it be spammers, difficulty with the forum, difference of energy with another poster, etc. One of the biggest lessons I've learned interacting with others on the internet is forgiveness, and patience. And I recommend that everyone open their hearts to the same.
There are several things people need to understand.
Spam is a new issue, and it has fallen through the cracks because I haven't been checking my email as much as I used to, so I miss it. In order for me to invoke a manual process, someone has to be there to answer the emails. I work a full time job, and I have just moved for the 5th and final time in less than 20 months. If people wrote me and volunteered to assist with this, I would be more than happy to give this responsibility to the proper people, those who expressed patience, and longstanding sufferance and love. At the same time, I will not ask this favor of those who do not volunteer it. It has to come from within. But I must feel that the person has the understanding of what is expected of them, and I must trust them.
ITC Bridge was the first free forum in the United States. Please realize that it was pioneering for its time, but it is also a reflection of my stages of learning and spirituality. It was also created to be open to search engine spiders, designed that way specifically to provide a "live" document and provide searching power for the years ahead. You can search for ITC on various topics, and I guarantee you will find hits on ITC Bridge.
ITC Bridge is only one very small facet of the work I am here to do, it is like the first painting a painter paints. Of course, they continue to paint, and as they continue one day they look back at their first painting with fondness, but also with an experienced eye, realizing that their consciousness has shifted since that time.
This website is here for those to take advantage of it that desire to do so. It is not here to entertain, it should not require the constant "breathing of life" into it from me, that should come from those who have that burning desire within them, those that develop past the first stages of ITC into leaders and carry the torch - not of "proving it to the world", but of "teaching spirituality and soul improvement". ITC is one of the paths to that goal.
Rather than expecting others to "pick the site back up again", those that have the desire will automatically give of themselves for this purpose by undertaking the characteristics of those who have progressed past one of the first stages of working with ITC and spirituality - dropping the need for seeking approval from others, and in turn becoming a leader and then giving encouragement to others to develop in a forward motion.
Thoughts must shift to a point where everyone realizes that they themselves are individually empowered to contribute to the whole, and to help others.
If anyone disagrees, by all means please get fired up and start your own website! How do you think ITC Bridge got started? lol Diversity is a beautiful thing, and out of it comes even more beauty. Those that can see that will truly grow.
With love,
Keith
