Thank you for showing an interest in this group. As a work of progress, I'll be adding stuff over time I posted on the old site Temple Illuminatus here. But with that said, here's how this group works.
1. Ideas. discussions that generate conversation. They're meant to. Every reply, an acknowledgement of the others. They bring awareness, and provide a way to grow plans in motion. And, they're the cornerstone of what visions need to bring possibility out of stillness and into conscious abundance. the manifestation of which, is key.
2. Memories. Articles that shape how you as a visionary (member) turn your past into the present. They're what makes you, you. And is designed to be a personal area of exploration that has the future ready to tap into your expertise for things you find more interesting than a casual hobby. Think of them like a tapestry of personal achievements.
3. Visions. Photos that tell a story with less words, and more visuals. They're always attached either as an idea on their own, or can be linked with other ideas posted in the forum within individual threads. If you want to snapshot a moment of progress, that's the best way to do that.
4. Moments. Videos with flavour. Any series of momentary explorations you can think of, be they creatively produced or a time lapse of something you find inspiring, can also be attached to discussion threads where ideas get posted. They have their own space, as does photos and audio because the medium lets you know, what format you vibe with best.
5. Journeys. Audio explorations you can cclose your eyes to, if you want...or leave playing while you vibe with other ideas. This is perhaps the most straight forward, and hands off approach to creating a new manifestation I could think of.
6. Stories. Where the mind does the work, and blog posts finish the task of interactive character engagement. These are ideas with a stand alone purpose of living in their own worlds, that likely only ever use text to paint pictures the mind sees best.
7. News. Events with the purpose of adding real time life experiencces to whatever you desire to manifest. They work well with other mediums when recording live data, such as when publishing a show, podcast, or media gallery.
8. Activity feeds. Every page of this group will have the "Elsewhere On Temple Luminara" displayed so you never miss a beat on what just happened as you browse our home. You can always come back to what you've started manifesting later if you want to.
9. Group home page comment wall. along with various other featured statistical data, this is where you can post general chit chat that is off topic and isn't really needed to have its own dedicated idea thread. I use it to post announcements of what my future plans are, before I post about it in greater detail, in relation to this group and other things I am thinking about.
10. Member engagement. You can add friends with other visionaries if you want, by checking out community participants on their own page. You can also invite new people to join us, and the Temple too!
11. Keeping up to date with what's new. Every month, we'll highlight 3 of the top posts for all members and display them prominantly on the group home page. We also may send you a message to check out the latest updates, and that's something you will always have to opt into, just as you can follow new ideas, visions, journeys, moments, memories, stories, news and comments as they happen.
12. Discovery. When in doubt, find another social sphere of influence that isn't oo far off your own, in kind. That's what our discover page allows you to do, by filtering feeds from related networks we've curated for prime engagement, that also know of and respect us in kind.
13. Member Control Panel. Known as The Navigater, found on our group home page, this serves as a guideline for all site functions, including this group and beyond. Regardless of whether you are a member or not, there's something to do for everyone.
As mentioned, this is our work in progress...and I am also looking for volunteers to keep this space thriving. If interested, reply here. I hope you like future vision, a place for inspiration and growth through purpose driven faith.

I made some small tweaks.
I added a Discovery page for anyone sick of my updates. lol - Just kidding.
What I mean to say, is that if you want inspiration from elsewhere that's relatable to here, you have it posted. And I am also seeing lots of great contributions and will share some of my own soon in the near future.
I'm going to be working on a site control panel. I'll give a copy of the navigation URLs I am able to access as a regular member to Bryan so that way if the administration wants to use them in making it easier to post, find and retreive things, you can do that.
I have a lot more things planned, and will keep regular tabs on them as we grow. Such as my Channelings On Fridays series. Also, my blessings in hard times series I am thinking about putting up as well, perhaps in relation to every channeling I perform with your help. that way, it's interactive through a many-to-many context, not broadcasted in a one way direction. With the goal being to give all of us some say as things happen in time, when and or if we're ready to embrace them.
I am with out a doubt going to miss the hundreds of thousands of hours poured into the contributions the other site collected over the years. I'm doing this all up front on this one, so that it doesn't feel like there's nothing to do accept stare into an empty void and to keep busy in order to avoid the feeling of compacted loss from all around. I think these are energies we can greatly transmute, given the chance. And I'm willing to try to make the most of it.
These are just some of the ideas I've put in motion. Thanks for continuing to provide a platform to connect on many levels beyond the ephemeral. It's warmly appreciated as are you all each in turn.
Here's to another, long, prosperous, decade and a half.
