1. Overall scheme and purpose
What we are hoping to accomplish with the FreeZone America web site is to 
create a greater community cohesion within the Free Zone itself. How we are 
doing that is by providing as much clearing technology as we can place here on 
our site and by making available the opportunity for like-minded people to come 
together in a safe atmosphere to learn, study and to teach others not just 
clearing technology but a moral and ethical presence that can be felt through 
the use or non-use of any type of material that seeks, in it's purpose, to 
further a spiritual understanding and growth in a non-demanding environment.

FZA is a clearing technology oriented site. This means that clearing 
technology, in it's unlimited examples of demonstration, is the main topic of 
orientation. Although other topics may, at times, be addressed, the foundation 
solidly rests upon clearing technology. Clearing technology deals with the 
spirit and in that vein, it is looked upon as a religious philosophy.
	
	1.1 Theory and application
	Creating a safe community atmosphere is demonstrated through the 
	requirement of user registration whereby anonymity can be preserved while 
	at the same time, responsibility is ensured. Registering also creates the 
	community atmosphere in which we place the desire that spiritual growth can 
	be furthered unhindered by the polarized forces with which we create to 
	oppose ourselves.
	Through the use of user comments on stories, voting in polls, exchanging 
	mail within FZA, entering classified ads and other user tools, the free 
	zone has a central place where communication is allowed, and even 
	encouraged, to occur.
	
	
	
	1.2 Purpose of FZA
	Our mission statement has evolved very little from it's origination:
	"To provide the opportunity for spiritual beings to enhance their own 
	individual growth by making accessible various clearing related information 
	and resources"

We envision FZA as being a place where people travel to, to get to somewhere 
else. A place where real help can be attained without a specific viewpoint 
being required.

	1.3 Legal and privacy issues
	There is a prevalent mind-set that creates fear and concern about 
	exposing oneself to public attention. This fear has hindered, and even 
	completely stopped, the spiritual growth of various religious philosophy 
	students and researchers. Please be assured that FreeZone America has no 
	affiliation, support or responsibility with, ANY organization. We stand 
	completely independent and therefore have assumed the title "FreeZone". 
	To that end, the information that you provide during the user registration 
	process is known ONLY to FZA and that information will remain private and 
	of use to only FZA.
	
	All stories and comments that are found within the FreeZone America web 
	site revolve around the discussion, and therefore, understanding of 
	specific referenced thoughts, ideas and/or concepts. We do not accept the 
	reproduction of legally restricted material, other than in the format of 
	extracts for purely educational (i.e.. discussion) purposes.
	
2. Story suggestions
The FZA community is centered around stories which are posted to the various 
boards. These stories comprise news items, clearing processes, FZA updates and 
almost anything else that concerns clearing technology. We encourage the 
participation of users by requesting story suggestion submissions. These story 
suggestions can range from personal realizations to news worthy items such as a 
new clearing process being release or researched. All story suggestions are 
reviewed and, as appropriate, placed on the main page of FZA.


3. User Services:
	3.1 User registration
	To register as a new user, click on the 'Register' link on the navigation 
	bar that is found at the top of the page. On the New User Registration 
	page, all entries marked with an asterisk are required. Please be sure to 
	read the 'User Fields Explanation' located on that page

	3.2 Logging in and out
	Without logging in, you will not be able to take advantage of user 
	benefits. Logging out before you leave FZA is always a good idea.
	
	
	3.3 Changing your user profile
	To change your user profile, such as 'handle', 'password' and other fields, 
	click on the 'Profile' link on the navigation bar at the top of the page. 
	Also see the 'User Fields Explanation' located on that page. Currently, 
	your user e-mail address cannot be changed. If this changes, please notify 
	us to make the change for you.
	
	3.4 Your MailBox
	One of the benefits of being a user is being able to send and receive 
	e-mail messages while at FZA. E-mail messages cannot be sent or received 
	from outside of FZA. When you log into FZA you will see the number of 
	unread e-mails messages that you have. Click on the 'MailBox' link on the 
	navigation bar at the top of the page to check your messages.
	
4. Stories and comments
Stories are what drive the interaction on FZA. These can comprise news worthy 
items to user realizations. Comments are user responses to that story and 
should be appropriate and on topic.

Newer stories are always found first on each board. Most times, only the first 
part of the story is displayed so that a quick review can be made to determine 
if the story interests the user. If it does, clicking on the 'Read More>>' or 
'Comments' link will display the entire story and the associated comments. It 
is on the story display page that new comments can be added to the story.

Each story has a topic associated with it. These topics help to define what the 
story is about and helps the user to easily locate specific topics of interest. 
Topics vary by board. Some examples are 'Excalibur' for stories about Geoffrey 
Filber's book, and 'A Comment On The Tech' for stories about a specific view on 
some particular aspect of clearing technology.

Please remember to choose a topic that is appropriate to the new story you wish 
to create.

Moderation: This idea is not very favored here at FZA, but in order to create 
and sustain a workable informational community, stories and comments may be 
reviewed by assigned moderators whose job is to evaluate and take appropriate 
action on stories and comments that disrupt or alter the flow of the board, 
story and/or topic. The best way to take full advantage of FZA is to post 
stories on the appropriate board, choose the correct topic for stories and keep 
all comments on topic. FZA does reserve the right to remove stories, comments 
and classified ads at it's discretion. Please remember, we DO NOT favor 
moderation.

5. The archives
Stories are kept for a time period in the database and are fully searchable. A 
search can be performed by specific board, author, topic and other options.

6. Documents
A database of documents, such as the Pilot's 'Super Scio' book, and many other 
documents, are available for searching and/or researching. This database also 
contains web links and mailings lists that the user can add to and search.

7. Glossary
Searching for a definition is made easy with the full search capability of this 
glossary. Users may add and edit their own glossary terms. FZA may, at times, 
condense multiple term entries in order to keep the glossary manageable.

8. Classifieds
Users may place their own ads for clearing items that are being sold, traded or 
bartered. If you are trying to locate a lost friend or acquaintance, place your 
ad in the classified. The 'Practitioner Directory' lists all known clearing 
technology Practitioners and the 'Announcements' section allows you to place 
any important announcements that you wish to make. Please be aware that all 
ads expire after 90 days of placement, except the 'Practitioner Directory' 
ads, which never expire.

9. Even More Information
When we think of something, it will be placed here.

10. The future
Quote extracts, 'This day in clearing', voting on moderator assignments, 
e mailing stories to a friend, email new stories to users, and lots more!
