Re: country boy from virginia
OK, shijing, I did that "George Green" search for a 2nd time, and, as I said, the few threads that resulted did not discuss the noteworthy ideas and scenarios which I found on my reading of the books. YCYOR is a misrepresentation of what these books present, and if that's all anyone got out of them, then only the surface was scratched.
There was certainly no in-depth discussion of the type I would expect from a bunch of folks who are able to digest and discuss Gurdjieff's work, for example. DanielS may be a "Jedi" but he did NOT hit the mark here IMHO.
To tell the truth, shijing, I did find the following before posting but chose to "ignore" it:
Q: (L) Okay, George Green has dictated all these "Handbooks for the New Paradigm." He claims that it comes from some entity. Who is that entity?
A: George Green.
Q: (L) Well, these books are all over the place. Who is funding them?
A: Consortium.
Yes, George Green made his fortune working for the consortium; that much is clear to anyone, and he makes no pretense otherwise. He claims to have renounced those associations, however, and after viewing/listening to all available interviews and presentations, I for one am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on that.
The answer to Laura's first question, however, "seems" to indicate that the books had no source beyond George Green's own 3rd dimensional personality. Anyone who has read the books and watched George's interviews with any discernment at all would be well aware that is simply impossible.
What I would suggest here is that Laura's question was phrased in such a way as to evoke a less than explicative answer. George has never claimed that the books came from "some entity." He has claimed at times that they came from "the Pleiadians" and at other times from spiritual beings in a higher dimension. But, in fact, the books themselves explain their source (p.30 of the Handbook):
The question of “who?” is the focusing energy of the “messages” is a difficult one to answer tactfully and yet completely. “Isness” is the focus to be sought by each individual awareness. As each expands within the process of self-identification so does the ability to allow the flow of “Isness” to move through their experience. Each will attract into their awareness knowledge to live into wisdom. The vibratory rate of the planetary environment and of the members of humanity on earth is low enough that this ability is currently virtually inaccessible.
To assist willing members of mankind to access the necessary information to provide a way to transcend this current aberrant state, various volunteer awareness points within higher vibrational frequencies have acted as booster stations to focus this information through those willing to participate on the earth plane. Knowing the custom of earth’s inhabitants requiring the “personify to identify” mode, names from the exotic to the ridiculous have been given as sources of this information. The information included exercises in discernment: most participants failed the discernment tests. Much was filled with profound truth, but much of it was drained of energy by the continual parade of victims wanting their personal problems solved for them. The information became distorted as the foci were withdrawn and the volunteers winged it (faked it) on their own for their sincerity was lost in the notoriety and greed that resulted.
In view of this history, it was the mutual agreement between the parties involved in the dictation/translation/transcription process for these messages that the identities of the foci involved would remain undisclosed and there would be no monetary rewards whatsoever involved. Further, there would be no personal information disseminated for any one individual’s benefit. The totality of the foci involved is for the benefit of the planet and its inhabitants, period! The truth of the messages is to be discerned and used for the benefit of humanity first and then gleaned by the individual to apply personally as part of the wholeness to which it is focused without the necessity of personal names to identify truth. If that is not understood, then the messages need to be read again to transcend this need into commitment to the holographic intention of the information they contain.
To play "devil's advocate" for a moment, IF these books actually WERE disinfo promulgated by the consortium, they most definitely would have originated from "somewhere" other than the personality of George Green in order to put over such an elaborate hoax.
So, whether you "believe" in them or not, it becomes obvious that the answer given as to "source" is limited and requires further exploration.
Being a newbie here, I think I'll leave it at that for now, rather than launch into a big defense of these books. I would rather delay that discussion until I've had considerably more time to digest Laura's books and this forum and find where the divergences occur on my own.
Thanks to all for the nice welcome here. :)
