I noticed that one of the student works and that "secret" wallpaper are equal at large parts, so I layered them. I found nothing but maybe someone reading this.... *sigh*

I used mp3stego to un-stego Wongmo's MP3 files with a blank passcode and I found some text in dolphindance.mp3. It's just gibberish though. Maybe this can be decoded somehow, but I suspect the real message here is that there's more steggo going on. Maybe if we de-steggo one of hte MP3s with the right password we'll find something. I did notice that waverunner.mp3 has some dead air at the end. Is this a clue?

Here's the hidden gibberish:

left eye

The reflection in the left eye, shown here a little sharpened, looks a look like that Escher self portrait, where he's holding a reflective ball and his image is sort of fish-eyed.



Not sure if that means anything to anyone.

Would this s*** display different if you had additional/different fonts installed?

Can you reverse the audio and try it again? That might have something to do with it...

Using the password "waves" on the waverunner file I also got gibberish:

I hope gibberish doesn't just mean you have a false positive. Sad

Confused
Try to decode it forward/backward with the keys "texel", "caesar", etc.


I'm focusing on Ormond's password.

I'm very close to giving up and BRUTING it. Crying or Very sad



Beth should be breaking into his office shortly - maybe it will be obvious after the next update.

Confused

This for sure is the machine war agains humanity...

Also havent you seen this anywhere?

Wongmo's class is fun
Sitting at the beach all day Windy M.
Thirty S P F

I fell overboard
Found out that I could not swim Autumn F.
Nearly died that day

Tropic breezes blow
Swaying palm trees in the wind Sage B.
Hurricane is near

The coolest one:

Spinner dolphins play
Dancing all around our boat Willow S.
Can this all be real?

Quite curious that someone called "Willow" would feel the presence of Unreality.. uh?

I found this in the "I Am" page.

Quote:
"Symbolism is important to the creative mind and spirit, and Wongmo suggests that you choose a symbolic name for yourself in your journey as well. One recent attendee chose to call herself "Princess Rose Quartz," a fitting name that helped her focus on her spiritual studies."


I know I'm not grasping at straws when I say I think Princess Rose Quartz is Beth McConnell. Maybe this can help you find a password.

[HUMOR]

OK, hands up for all of you who think Wongmo is actually Clay Aiken from American Idol when he's 55?

/me raises hand

[/HUMOR]

BTW: Originally someone posted about finding the hidden MP3 Dolphin Dance. Just to let people know who hadn't seen this before: Dolphin Dance is now linked directly from his site. So I think it's safe to say that it's being hidden was probably just forgetfulness on the part of the webmaster...

Here's a question that's already been asked probably: What's Wongmo's real name? He already said that his name isn't real and it's symbol deals with love. What's his real name then?

Next thing: Wongmo is said to use Reiki techniques ("then Reiki is your salvation"). I found 3 sites with reiki. None of them have the USH logo, however you might wanna take a look at them to see what reiki is all about.

www.reiki.org
www.reiki.com
www.reiki.net

Also, don't forget about the possibility that Princess Rose Quartz is Beth. You may point out that it may be Leiphe, but Leiphe's name is already a mystery, I suggest not making that anymore complicated. Princess could also be the missing woman, I can't argue that, but I still think it's Beth and may be related to finding a new password.

Chinese Symbol

I saw someone here asking about the Chinese character on this page on Wongmo.org.

I found the translation on this page:



So, it just means "writings" and is only used to illustrate Sad
