Membership?

We all want to change things. None of us like the world the way it is. We have all expressed this from time to time. We all like to talk about how much we love this site and how liberating and unique it is. But has this become a kind of fantasy camp for some of us. I know that there has been spore activity and people have met on this site and integrated it with their real lives.......
That's not all of us though. How many of us come here and become "evolvers" and then go on with the rest of their day blending in with society and playing out our respective roles whithin it? How many of us treat this like any other social networking site on the web? Most of my research is done in private and on my free time. Not too many people I know know about it, or really care for that matter. They would just shrug and go whatever man. I don't know what to think of this new membership proposal. Are we all overreacting to the concept of vountarily paying a fee to become a "member"? I honestly don't know what to think about it. Or if I think anything of it at all. I tend to lean in the direction that we live in a world based on free will/fate, and not in equal or set portions. It is too complex and "unreal" for us to really understand completely. (8), that says alot right there. There is no beginning or end, there is no one path, there is many. This is but a shade of reality. We are all similar in more ways than our humanity. We can't really comprehend that there might not be a beginning to reality in our present state. How can we? There may not be an end either. There just is. Everything, on a cosmic scale, might be simply a snap of the fingers in duration, and that snap never had a beginning or an end and it reverberates outward in infinite space for an eternity. That is what I believe, take it or leave it. That being said, I find it hard to get caught up in "material" things anymore. I know that is not healthy but that is my state of mind. I work because I have to to get money so I can eat and live like the rest of you. But my heart isn't in it, maybe like some of you. So when I heard this new proposal for membership I wanted to feel excited about the possibility of mobilizing to make a difference, but I don't. I wanted to feel angry about the possiblity of paying for membership, but I don't. I really don't feel anything about it. I think it is a good idea. I think that the intentions are right. If they propose a modest fee for membership will I pay it? Probably, if I have the money. But what about the opinion that this is going to become yet another institution and will become a bureaucracy of profit in the name of change? I honestly don't know what to think of that viewpoint. I personally don't think that they are trying to scam us at all. I just don't feel as pumped as some of the Evolvers about the implications involved. What is the point of this blog? I don't know. Venting? Probably. What I think I want to say is that things happen, and they get set in motion. While I believe that this is fate/free will, I believe that we are guided in a sense of a suggestion followed by a light nudge. Never forced. I think this is going to happen no matter what we think about it and the question that remains for us is, "do we want to be a part of it?"
What I think is fair in the whole thing is that it seems to be completely voluntary. You will still have access to this site and will be able to blog and whatever even if you don't pay. It remains to be seen what benefits you recieve for being a "Member". So I say, what's the harm? If you don't want to pay, then don't. But I feel that this is going down no matter what we say.
