Sounds like someone really wants us to keep ignoring @herderlogtimor.

I’m bumping @thebuz‘s diagram and description of the Enneagram of Personality. This sings to me.

I didn’t forget you, Tolstoy! This quote is from The Kreutzer Sonata as previously mentioned. It’s a novella about a man who’s murdered his wife, a woman he grew to hate as he hated the carnal obsession he and all men have with women. He is acquited of her murder because she was in the midst of an adulterous act when he discovered and killed her,…[Read more]

This is a Waterhouse painting called “Hylas and the Nymphs” (or nyads)
Hylas was a childhood friend of Hercules who went missing when he went to fill a pitcher at a spring and the water nymphs emerged and, enamored with him, pulled him into the water with them. Hercules spent a long time searching for his friend, but never found him;…[Read more]

7 is a magical number all around, but I’m curious if those words can fit with the 7 Deadly sins.

Sex – Lust
Love – Lust again?
Control – Gluttony?
Lies –
Reflection – Pride?
Desire – Envy?

I would argue every one of these is a different form of Lust. Every one of them a different way a human reacts to the presence of Lust itself. Examples: You…[Read more]

This, yes. The Seven Deadly Sins always spoke to me as less of a warning against specific behavior than as a breakdown of human personality. The Sins themselves are gross exaggerations of one’a natural instincts.

Your theory also fits with Horace essentially telling us that there are no factions, there are no sides, this is all one thing.…[Read more]

Always remembering more ok he also said something to the tune of “people come to me for things because of my confidence and because I look like someone they can trust…but I didn’t always look like this” etc.

@moustachemax no glasses at all.

Also in ref to that FB Post he said at one point “I’ve ordered you two something called a Fluffernutter, I’ve read in the Yelp reviews that it’s to DIE for.” And once we’d tried it he asked if we agreed it was “to die for.”

Also the waiter came and told us there wasn’t a bill when we asked for it, so we gave him the $40 instead. He was pretty stoked.

Sorry for ge stream of conscious post I just screamed this into my phone dictation.

We met a blond man in a suit at Black Market Liquor Bar. He was eating Olive tapenade and a kale salad alone at a booth. He had ordered us a fried peanut butter filled with bananas and marsmellow fluff called a Fluffernutter. It was seriously good, and he waited…[Read more]

As much as I hate to see the search for bigger picture photos go, maybe we’ve seen the big reveal already.

This is an Edward Leighton painting called “Fame” or “Faded Laurels.” We see an older harpist upstaged by new blood. Poor old thing, he looks like Zeus to me. I see this as a nod to the older and newer versions of the Book of Anoch we’ve…[Read more]

@daela if we’re operating under the assumption that it’s Horace who called myself and the others last night (I don’t have a good reason to doubt it,) then it’s telling that he and Tom both gave thanks for the upcoming sacrifice. It ties in with @shankfx22‘s theory of them both working towards the same goal. Horace through the System/the Head and…[Read more]

I like it. From my limited interaction with them both, Tom and Horace certainly don’t seem the type to work together, yet they both thanked us for our sacrifices yesterday, as if they sought a common goal. So if they both have differnt ideas for how to achieve that goal, things get more interesting. No factions tho, says Horace. And no safe…[Read more]

I also recall him saying he’d “speak to his clockmakers” and thanking me for today’s sacrifice and the sacrifice that’s yet to come. Gulp.

I just got this same call. “I know you want to believe in safe harbors but no later what my son thinks there are no factions, etc.” There aren’t right decisions. No one is safe. I’m in the middle of something, I’ll try and get the rest of this down but I believe it’s the same message, word for word.

Was about to post this elsewhere but this is the best place:

I think all of this fits with what we’ve discussed about Transmutation and the idea of a soul being implanted into a human vessel. Sabrina spoke of the literal return of Anoch today too, no? Today seemed to indicate that what we have now is far beyond seeking oracles to communicate with…[Read more]

@superstar I like this. His full quote is “Tonight this fire destroys not what we are, but simply burns away all that we are not. You can leave now, and wait for the phoenix to rise for those among you who are wealthy.. worthy.”
If he was referring to the Investors, it serves to explain the Freudian slip. Though in context it also implies that s…[Read more]

Oh @shankfx22 that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. We’re all rushing headlong into the fire.

That’s why I so loved that song last night.

Yes, the danger must be growing because the rowers keep on rowing and they’re certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing

@thebuz do you think the deliberate zooms in further are telling us that our focus is still too narrow, or we’re just being toyed with as per usual?
