Hello my dears, I am back!

[the_alcatraz]

While we need not discuss this matter further since you have explained things quite explicitly, I want you to know I appreciate you explaining the situation as I was away when all this happened, and I was asking for latest news after all

Anything for you

Nangiggles, I'll only say this once. I'm an elite mod on here and I have access to a lot more information that you do. I know pretty much every tiny thing that happens on this board, and so do the rest of the mod team.

Smurfy and Chris did not voluntarily walk out. They are banned. They are no longer allowed to be on this board.

They both broke several rules.

Chris has been talking shit about EF on another board and questioned mods more than once. Also, he challeged mods when Smurfy was de-modded.

Smurfy was de-modded about a week before she was banned because she challenged the admin team and broke the rules that were decided upon by the rest of the mod team. She was no longer capable of leading the chat board and moddingit because she was playing favorites with Chris, letting him get away with certain things, banning certain people because Chris didnt like them and her decision were effected by her emotions. We all know that shouldn't be allowed on here. She also continued to delete / edit threads on here and bragged that she is "pawning EF" in front of people (after her mod powers were remoed - there was a glitch in the system)

Now that you know what happened, I expect no more questions on why Smurfy or Chris got banned and non of that nonesense that they voluntarily stepped out.

Now I would like to say this: I'm sad to see Smurfy go. I really liked her. She did good things for this board and was a fair mod. Problem is she let her emotions get the best of her and everything went downhill.

Thanks for taking over MM's welcome back thread with this shit

Im usually a pretty peaceful person but I dont appreciate your tone about what I may or may not say, but you're the mod and I'll comply, however I did not hijack this thread since MM herself asked in her post who was banned, who left, etc

That is all

This page explains it pretty well. What I'm more interested in is called neoshamanism (which is what Caroline practices):

Shamanism and Healing by Caroline Kenner - About Shamanism

In essence, the shaman was combination tribal doctor/psychologist working primarily by "journeying" (entering into a light trance state and contacting spiritual helpers or teachers). I'm familiar with trance journeys, called pathworkings, in paganism and this is sort of a natural extension of those practices, though less structured and more about moving into the middle and primarily lower worlds than the upper (or astral) world.

In essence, for the atheists out there, more psychic mumbo-jumbo wackness from MM

You don't call yourself a shaman, you have to earn the title by your works.

Stop and think a moment, for all the thousands of years humans have been around, successful modern medicine and psychology have been around barely 300 years. The shaman and the medicine man/woman of the tribe was essential to the health and success of the community. Michael Harner started out as an academic anthropologist who focused on the shamans of the remaining indigenous cultures.

If you don't believe in a world beyond the one you live in, that's your perogative, but you shouldn't mock the beliefs or experiences of others.

Welcome back sista! I have always found you to be an insitghtful addition to the boards. We haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but I appreciate that you like myself are a seeker...

Blessings,

These are the rules. That post was not only for you. It was for everyone.

I'm not sure what you meant by tone, but regardless you were the one who seemed so strung out and upset with that fact that "everyone keeps telling you they got banned."

You were so sure that you were right, and I felt the need to correct your information and let you know that you were misinformed.

Anyways, this ends here. Please and thank you.
