What I keep wondering is why the website has a search bar.

The WHOIS for this site shows it was registered through a privacy corporation, so no information we can use Sad

There's one line in the site which reads: "we are all at our most venerable when we are infants". I'm assumning this is a typo and should say "vulnerable", as the sentence takes on an entirely different meaning otherwise. Any thoughts on this?

I posed the question to PBTE myself using the form on the site.

It has been corrected. Wink

I tossed a message via the contact us page asking why they were using the Internet if they're anti-technology. I got a response today.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Brother Machina,

Thank you for your question regarding the use of the internet. We of The
Path are not against technology, though we oppose the love of technology
for its own sake and the use of technology not of our type. To Gaia the
internet is part of the living whole. It is organic, it belongs to no
man, and perhaps most importantly it can be heard in The Song of Gaia.

I hope this clears up your misunderstanding.


Sheds a bit more light into how they think...

The PBTE site has a page explainign about the line of Seth. Could it be that the coded messages from Steven Mae to Seth were not directed at a single person, but rather a group of people?

@Machina: Sounds like they're a little hypocritical if you ask me. Laughing Wink

Possibly. They could just be justifying the internet as a concept rather than a technology. However, I sent an e-mail back to him suggesting that if the internet, a system that came into being through the technology of the line of Cain, can be twisted to be acceptable to Gaia, can not other technologies be adapted to again follow the line of Seth?

I'll be sure to post the response if I get one. ~_^

Trout me if you will, but from what I can gather, it seems that PBTE is not only upset about the technology that Orbicon weilds, but also that they have (as pointed out by CARTS) "secretly 'corralled' an asteroid as it approached earth". This is probably believed by PBTE to be the "Great Sky Sister", and Orbicon is preventing "[Gaias] sky sister [from] coming to join her".
And why does their site have a search bar? Everything I enter returns no results....hmm. Confused

Really? The search bar seems to work for me. Try putting in Seth or Gaia or Leon. You should get some results.

My mistake; I thought I had tried searching "Gaia", but I must not have been paying attention to the results. The search does appear to be working.

[EDIT] Phishing for leads, I just sent a quick message to PBTE via their "Contact Us" page, saying that I was interested in both PBTE and CARTS, and would like to receive more information about both groups. No response yet, but we'll see what happens.

I sent something along the lines of "I don't believe in this stuff, but show me what you got" and got this back:

Abraxas

I am but a whisper in the wind, a flower in the meadow or a pebble on
the shore, so I can not show you 'what I got' as you so clearly put it.
Instead, listen to 'what you got'. Open your heart to The Song of Gaia
and embrace all that is offered.

Leon

Looks like all their replies reference The Song of Gaia, so it seems like they're pointing us to that. What I can't seem to figure out is what we're supposed to be looking for in the song, or if there's more to it than just what's shown in the Extract from The 2nd Song of Gaia (there's supposed to be 52 songs). Going to focus on the "Teachings..." section and see if I can find any other clues.
