Who determines when the "time is right?"
Do not fear, It is none of us whom do so; no single person has the power to do so. Not even the Icelandic Council reserves that right to disclose
these. This is why we wait, until our duties are fulfilled then all will be revealed. These secrets are only withheld for our protection, the
protection of humanity, and humanity's immaturity to handle such information (no this is not of "our" opinion).
At what age do you teach a child what a gun is and what it means?
When you are nearly 95% confident that they will be knowledgeable and mature enough to be able to wisely understand and use one, properly.
As a child you either had it or not.
Had what? I'm a little lost on the transition.
Some kids would shoot themselves, some take the gun apart, some run away, etc...
This is why we have parents; guides to help us make
the right decisions so we are able to confidently and correctly make them once we are fully on our own. Until then, we need them to ensure that we do
not hurt ourselves (to continue the analogy).
We are as children only because there are those who are utterly committed to keeping us children. They wont succeed.
Not quite; there
are those whom would wish to prey on the children because they are not yet knowledgeable enough nor mature enough to truly distinguish friend from
foe; however they do not "keep you chldren." This us done entirely at your own accord. At the same we encourage humanity to grow and to change, to
become more than what we are. Because we retain the knowledge of the "gun," does not prevent you from maturing, it simply ensures a safe environment
until you are mature and wise enough to learn such things, and with them gain new capabilities. Simply giving the child the gun without any guidance
is (what I hope to be ) irrefutably dangerous. Would you not agree? Hopefully this can provide some insight into your concerns. I appreciate and
admire the analogy, it is very eloquent.
In essence, the only ones whom truly decide if humanity is ready, is humanity itself. So far its complacency and dispassionateness, has proven to the
Shards otherwise. If we are wrong in your eyes, please, explain why?
The "ANOMOLY" as some might say.
Please, explain?
Destiny cannot be pacified.
True, It cannot. But let us not confuse destiny, with understanding. It would be likening wisdom to knowledge.
I care not of others opinions on my people.
Which people is that? One should at least be concerned with such notions. For this helps us determine if it is the right course of action, especially
in regards to large numbers of people. This is one of the very other reasons why I am here. Random samplings of peoples opinions about our
orginization are data points to help us identify what we are doing right, and are doing wrong.
We will not lose. Humanity will rise to the occasion quicker if opposition could be focused upon.
True, the only issue is the ones in the "way" of humanity, is humanity itself. We are fighting our "inner selves." We must overcome what we were,
and become what we are meant to be, destiny; as you stated. None stand in the way but our inner selves, once this is overcome no borders nor secrets
will stand in humanity's way of greatness and grace.
Your words of absolutes ring true, but whom was your intended audience?
No one, and everyone; whomever may be listening.
Your secrets are exquisitely childish... Or should I say how one deals with a child.
"Childish," would imply playfulness or
flagrance; we echo neither. We are serious and collected. The only path by which such actions may be construed as 'childish," is our "parent-like"
attitude with dangerous knowledge. In which case if this is your point then it would not be inaccurate. We are responsible (in a way_ for humanity's
well being. We would not haphazardly ignore this duty, this obligation; just so the child can "see" the gun. Everything takes time, and nothing ever
worth doing is easy; especially patience.
TRUTH.
RIGHT LIVING.
RIGHT BEING.
I whole heartedly agree. Nothing here I have stated has been a lie, I simply withhold information which is dangerous; to you and I alike.
Not to be kept from your own... From humanity... What a transgression... Challenge your knowledge... Share... And watch how we grow... Stand by
me as we announce to the universe that our potential (unmatched) is manifesting.
Perhaps, eventually humanity will be unmatched; but we have a long ways to go. Humanity is great, but it could become much greater. It needs to become
greater to face the challenges ahead.
I've seen the light and it dwells in the hearts of men so very scarce. I've seen the light as i witnessed what is in me and in some. I've
seen the light when blessed souls shared that light with me.
These are whom are ready for the truth, ready for the future. As you yourself stated, they are few and far between. So you can see our reservations.
That light has yet to spread throughout all of humanity, each and every one of us. Until such day, we will remain as humanity's guides to destiny.
Those that hide the light are misguided at best.
True, but do not mistake us as obstruction of the light. We are merely its guardians. We protect it while it is in its fragile state of infancy; no
more, no less.
Our story is fascinating...
To think the ending of our story would be so vulgar...
Not consistent with the ironies of the universe...
I am what I am...
And we will succeed in one form or another...
Undoubtedly, yes. Humanity will.
I must say this... Secrecy betrays FEAR... This is a truth not hard to deduce. FEAR.
Betrays or Portrays? If secrecy portrays fear then
I would have to agree. But people fear that which they do not understand, rather than seeking understanding they fear. Another trait humanity must
overcome. Secrecy is an unfortunate and ungainly necessary evil. To protect humanity to need to keep the gun away form the child, however to protect
the child it will eventually need a gun. We understand this, and look to humanity to make their own destiny.
