Member participation issues

[SRBrant]

The Kitsune Society has over fifty members worldwide, but getting them to participate is particularly difficult, even though all I ask of them is to discuss the group, how to improve it and what to do! It's been happening for some time, but now I'm really starting to get impatient. What should I do?

You need a forum to discuss things

Spoiler:

Invite them here.

[Canuckster]

Maybe you can get your own subforum.

Hey man, welcome to my world! lol

I've been trying to build this place (and all it stands for) for several years now, and its still quite small. Only now it seems some faster momentum is starting to develop... we'll see where it goes.

I think its really hard to create/manifest something real/external that is really quite INternal. That is the work of real artists!! It is a warrior's path.

That being said, I must admit I am quite impressed/confused by your passion/dedication to the Kitsune Society. I have come to a suspicion that you are either a) someone young who has had some impactful experiences re; Kitsune and are maybe going a bit overboard... or b) this is all a clever troll to wrangle me into becoming part of a hoax-cult :D

You admit to being impatient, and this I think is never good. Let the seasons turn as they turn, let the Tao flow is it may. You can only play your part and little more. If one day you find yourself leading a great movement then do it! But if things are quiet, enjoy the quiet. All moves as it should.

When I was out of animation school I was so excited about a movie script that I had written, and fully (naively) expected it to somehow be picked up and magically made into an epic film within a few short years. It didn't, and this was a big shift for me in the nature of over-excited plans and dreams. I still believe it will be made and have chosen to refuse to be cynical... but it took some time to realize that big dreams don't just fall out of the sky and its up to US to start the long hard road of putting in the time and working towards it, however long the road may be.

In Jiu-jitsu they say there is no secret to getting good; all you have to do is show up and train.


Now as far as Kitsune goes... if you are not trolling me and in truth actually the passionate Kitsune Warrior you claim to be, let me risk whatever shreds of perceived sanity I have left and tell you some things I have seen during whatever contact with such Kitsune spirits I may have had;

Kitsune may be interested in noble and honorable goals and plans, and when things get serious no doubt they can focus and do great work... but in the meantime they like to PLAY!! They like to laugh, play tricks, bring mischief... they like surprises and spontaneity!

They may be grateful and admire your dedication to their traditions, but they may also find it quite boring! If you really want to play with the Kitsune and attract their energy, perhaps let go of some of the 'seriousness' of it, and just go out and have some fun! Doing these things may actually bring more energy to your groups, as they will inspire by example and get people's heads turning. Do some damage! Create! People will notice at their own pace; pay no attention and keep doing your work regardless.

Also, as I've said in other threads before, be wary of giving too much of yourself to a cult, church, or someone else's ideology; - if the Kitsune are interested in you, they are interested in YOU! Not having some alter-boy kissing their ass every day. Be YOU! Do what you need to do for your own sake, and if it fits the Kitsune's plans then they will harmonize on their own.

Don't be anxious bro... if you have great energy in you, there will be a right time and place to let it out. If it ain't happening it just means you ain't ready.

And that's OK. We all have much to learn along the way

PS: Starting a forum or group is really difficult, as this forum is proof of. Its quite amazing we've lasted this long.

If you were to take Luigi's advice and bring people here, I will do my best to keep an aura of respect for it (but no guarantees, lol its quite wacky)

No sub-forums though unless maybe 1 day I know for SURE you ain't trollin our asses :D (In which case you have surpassed both Mr Raamco and Sanjeet Mahanthapa combined)

Can't rep on my phone.


Well said good sir

Thanks. The Gods aren't fond of brown-nosers. They want companions, not slaves.

Don't feel bad Kitsune Guy. We are having the same problem with the members here who still are addicted to ConfirmationBias.com

My colleague was starting to get impatient as well and I reminded of the expression that Rome wasn't built in a day! I told him If you post it......THEY WILL COME!

Sure enough I have been proven correct. People are waking up and seeing the writing on the wall. Tired of the injustice, shilling, confirmation bias, circle jerk and ego of one housebound oriental living in Dallas they declared that they are mad as shell and not going to take it anymore!

What they are witnessing is a Revolution on the scale of the one in Russia in 1917, A movement that will shatter not only "worldviews" but be talked about for generations!
