I can only guess that lack of active participation at the time when the "new member" status was introduced resulted in your account being defaulted to that level. Positive engagement with the community is the best tip I can give you for gaining promotion to full membership. (This typically means that whining and/or begging will have the opposite effect too. So get on and show us what you might have to
give - this is all explained in
the attitude which new users must explicitly accept when they sign up to the Nexus.)
If you have a browse of the welcome area, you should be able to find an explanation of the protocol for referring to posts in areas in which you do not yet have posting rights. Basically, just start a thread here if you've searched thoroughly and failed to find an equivalent topic in the WA.
“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
