I’ll be there, you scamp.

Interesting points from @kevin.

The fire, the experience overall perhaps, is designed to burn away the person we claim to be in favor of who we actually are. We’d be in luck to find that those two are one in the same, but can any of us really say we are the person we say we are? I know I’m not, despite my best efforts. Accepting that is an…[Read more]

As much as I have always appreciated Noah’s candor, I quite like your rants.

Not sure about the vanilla ice cream jab though. I’d think we’re more of a…mint chip crew?

Astute as always, @superstar. We have seen this idea of unreliable narrators and doubted motives based on personal character though a lot of the art we’ve looked at throughout the chapters so far, as well.

We have to assume we are the flock, no? So is Noah our boy who cried wolf? Or is that too easy? Perhaps it’s a statement about the intentional…[Read more]

@larry so help me god.

…bring the puppet.

Well said, Taylor. I look forward to the newspaper clipping. 😉

@coryphella I took it the same way too. That we’d seen the New Anoch last year, and this year was about resurrecting and implementing the real “old” Anoch. It’s almost as if we’re moving forward in an effort to go back to that original template.

Worth noting here that we started our Facebook images back in the Prologue with strict Greco Roman sculpture, then Chapter One was Classical Style painting, Chapter Two was Pre Raphaelite painting, and Chapter Three appears to be Futirust work thus far.
The art is following a chronological and thematic line that seems to fit with the “old to…[Read more]

@pineapple I like that way of seeing it. We’ve been seeing many themes of rebirth and shedding of former selves. Embracing the Shadow self, changing into those Future Humans Sarah had the article about so many months ago. Maybe not death, then, but evolution.

I’ll be there to support the Experience.

Meghan, I never said in the post above that anyone crossed a line. I pointed out that BOS is acting just like OSDM in some regards and wondered what we should take away from that. Then I said it’s my choice to take the path that I’m on.

I do not appreciate being told what to think or being mocked for thinking differently than others.

BOS copied OSDM’s tactics nearly to the letter, as they admitted. They even had a whole room of people sign a book pledging allegiance to BOS before they knew that it was BOS. What is this teaching us? Don’t give your data to strangers? I get that. But it’s my data to give; my choice. And I’m comfortable with it, as it stands. As far as choices,…[Read more]

It’s my commitment too, @kipsie. We’re all intelligent people who’ve made decisions based on what (little) information we have now. If we all agreed with each other, there’d be nothing left to discuss. But you won’t catch me as a carnival barker, luring people over to our side; folks can come as they please, or not. But know that, even though…[Read more]

Sorry @kasch, I think @thebuz is right here. Noah doesn’t care what you choose, he just wants to watch the turmoil that results. And you certainly don’t choose Noah. You throw yourself at his mercy and if you’re (un?)lucky, he chooses you.

Having already made my own decision to support Joyce and OSDM, I will also add to those undecided that there really isn’t a right or wrong choice for you to make. Maybe they’re all wrong. Maybe (definitely) they’ll all hurt. But if you do nothing, nothing is done. Jump.

@superstar I think of the four or so that are OSDM/JC crowd we’ve already lost one to SDCC for the weekend, and I’m not sure about the rest. But I live in NoHo and may run by to scream abuse at people later in the evening.

‘you will be become enlightened by mere mistakes, you will come out on the other side a winner’
‘you will love it more than any other thing in your life’

I love this too @shaun. If only because he’s essentially describing this entire process and our responses to it.

Right where he belongs.

Replace “The System” with “The Experiences” and that tingle in your skin is why we’re all here.

Good to see you back in your best form, Noah.
