[UPDATE] RoT- New Newsletter-6/29

Quote:
Dear friends,

I want to thank you all for registering for my newsletter. Things in the world of Bole and the Retrievers of Truth are very exciting as of late. The RoT is getting worldwide recognition and I will be appearing on several television shows in Korea and Australia in the very near future.

The other day I was walking along the river, Bien Ecouter, near a friend's home in Switzerland. I was contemplating the nature of things and eating a buttercream torte when a yellow lab came out of nowhere and blocked my path. I stood motionless for what seemed like an eternity stunned by this intrusion all the while wondering what the creature's intentions were.

The yellow lab is a highly evolved creature, as I have stated on my website and in my many books. When they venture into our personal space it is usually for a reason and at this moment I could not fathom what this particular stranger wanted of me? Had he heard of me from other retrievers? Did he sense my willingness to communicate? Was this all just a coincidence?

After a few seconds our eyes locked and we communicated. He stated his name was "Wand Prowess." He then stated that I should remember his name, "not as it is but as it can be." Then he began what seemed like a poem, "In the Pacific I'm in the ocean bare, when I'm up north I'm the sea bear." I tried to question both statements but he just looked at me, turned and as he was about to walk away he said, "I'll leave you with two things to ponder" and he then turned and ran off. These are they:

Maslow's hierarchy

Keep who's eye on the prize?

I only tell you these tales of my journeys to entertain. But I do hope these incidents in my life will inspire you to look more deeply into your own.

Yours truly, Dr. Vincent "Wally" Bole

PS: Consuming a diet high in fiber can be beneficial to the BLOOD.

Things to note...

Again, we have a French name that is an obvious phrase. This one seems to be "good listener" or "good to listen." It's been a while since I took French in high school, but I remember well my teacher yelling "Ecoutez!"

Additionally, Wand Prowess seems to be an anagram or something similar. We're clearly meant to mess with that name in some way, not unlike the name Mandrake Wig.

Finally we have the riddle which may or may not be directly connected to the name Wand Prowess.

I haven't gotten anything since the first letter. Do you need to do something additional on the RoT page to get a regular newsletter?

'Wand Prowess' is a anagram for 'New Password'

Yes, you need to sign up for it again. It's not regular, like a real newsletter- it just send you an email whenever you enter your address.

Yes. I'm awful at anagrams and don't have the passwords, but I was on the Polar Bear thing.

In any case, there's one more significant thing to note. The PS of his letter saying that "fiber...is good for the BLOOD"

Going to today's post on RoT, you'll find a post about a clue tree and that this has something to do with a "WORD" that will be in various spots. The first one is fairly obvious, I think. It leads to a photoshop file that I'm sure other people have found and are manipulating even as we speak. I just thought I'd spell it out.

Just pulling this part out because I think they provide the clues the our next two words in the ROT puzzle:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Maslow's hierarchy of NEEDS

Keep YOUR eye on the prize.


I'm less sure about the second one, but at least it fits the message so far...

This post belongs here instead of the other forum. If someone could delete the other post, I would much appreciate it.

http://richerdeeperbroader.com/blood yields a Photoshop file.

It's part of a letter, and no doubt I'll have to overlay other images from the next clues in order to produce the entire thing.

Matt, or anyone else, can you manipulate this one like you did to Blood?

EDIT: http://www.darksider.co.uk/lost/bloodmoney.jpg

Blood and Money layred on top of each other.
