Advice for those preparing for The Fall of California

You are right about *most* FOF members not reading this newsgroup (and right about them having "no world outside of FOF"). Most of 'em can't afford anything else.

There are *some* who do read it, just to see what is said about FOF, maybe to just keep up with the gossip and other complaints that come along.

The thought occurred to me to post the link below for current FOF members who are being asked to move east (out of California) in preparation for California to fall into the ocean - let me see, Burton has given his prophesy that California is going to fall into the Pacific Ocean in 1998 on April 12th at 11 am.

(Give or take a few minutes, no doubt. <G>)

In any case, the woman who predicted accurately the big blow up of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State, Charlotte King, has a web site which may be of interest particularly to FOF members, especially if they are choosing NOT to move from California:

I hasten to add that I am not making fun of Ms. King, as after reading "Charlotte's Story" on her page, methinks she is quite sincere, and is indeed tuning in somehow to cataclysmic events. (Scientists 'testing' her abilities found that she is 75-80% accurate, and with Mt. St. Helens, she was right on the button (100%).

Selfish spritualism

“having one’s own spiritual advancement as the focus of one’s life is totally self-absorbed, and hence self-centered at a more hidden level.”

I remember, back in about [or] just before 1998, there were these crisis meetings at the Fellowship of Friends headquarters in Oregon House, California, because there was a resource shortage and a Ming furniture collection that was not selling, worth tens of millions of dollars, supposedly. Ming rich, cash poor. (Ming ming ming ming ming ming ming ming ming!) Lincoln Lodge/Apollo d’Oro was closed. (How were people going to eat?) And other problems, like lawsuit(s) settled out-of-court for millions of dollars. Apollo Operations Group (AOG) meetings trying to find ways to combat the Olivehurst Gospel Assembly (OGA. Read more here: http://www.culteducation.com/group/927-fellowship-of-friends.html) actions – was one way to look at it. California’s fall was imminent. There were these meetings to get prepared, where people talked about how we would pull through helping each other and being generous, etc. (More of the usual ‘supercelestial thoughts; subterranean actions.’ In all honesty, there were some well meaning and acting folks.) We were not a selfish bunch of people that, when really bad times came, it would not be a ‘me-first’ (a play on the mi-fa) interval. So, one truth speaking quiet person got a chance to chime in, as suggestions from all and anyone were sought. Seldom did that person say anything. They said something like: Pretty much everyone in the Fellowship of Friends came there with the primary purpose of getting consciousness for themselves. (Little did they know what that meant!) At least that was the way it was for the speaker (honestly), and in many many years, the way for almost everyone that they had met there. These people did not come to give consciousness from themselves (as if they could) to others. In other words, first line of work [personal work] was paramount, and second and third lines [work for others, and for the "school"] were subject to falling by the WAYside, so to speak. Prime directive: selfish purpose ‘at a more hidden level.’
