 		[SPEC] Changes at mystes.com/voice1 through voice6
[SPEC]

Tonight, while many other sites posted updates, my website watcher showed that these pages also had some sort of update, but they are to hard for me to see.

http://www.mystes.com/voice1
http://www.mystes.com/voice2
http://www.mystes.com/voice3
http://www.mystes.com/voice4
http://www.mystes.com/voice5
http://www.mystes.com/voice6

Maybe, you guys with better vision, could look and see if there is anything in them.
Here is a link to what happen with these pages last time, about misspelling.

 		I'm too burned out on all this to do the work on the text.
Using all the 1st paragraphs, in order, then all the 2nd, etc.
Below is the resulting pic. If someone wants to do the text part (missing letters, rearrange the text, whatever), go ahead. I just wanted to see the pretty picture.

EDIT: Okay, So I lied. I came back and looked over the text.
No missing letters. Just the same phrase repeated over and over to which the coloring was applied in the html.
The Phrase is:
Quote:
"Again the Visible part of Fire contains within itself all things whatsoever one can perceive, or even fail to perceive, of things visible. The Invisible, on the other hand, is whatsoever one can conceive as an object of thought, but which escapes the sense, or even what one fails to comprehend by the thought. And to sum up, it may be said that of all things that exist, whether objects of sense or of thought, or, as Simon terms them, Visible and Invisible, the store-house is the Great Fire that is above the heavens: 'As it were a great Tree, like to that seen in his dream by Nabuchadonosor, from the which all flesh was fed.' And the Visible he considers to be the trunk of the Tree and the branches, and the leaves, and the bark surrounding the same on the outside. All these parts of the great Tree, says he, are kindled from the all-devouring flame of the Fire, and are destroyed. But the Fruit of the Tree, if it takes a shape and assumes a proper form, is laid up in a storehouse, and not cast into the fire. For the fruit is made in order that it may be laid up in the storehouse, but the husk that it may be committed to the fire; which sake is the trunk, ordained not for the sake of the husk but of the fruit.

It's just a paragraph from Part 1 (Gnosticism and its Sources), Chapter 10 (Simonianism) of:
THE GNOSTICS
AND
THEIR REMAINS,
ANCIENT AND MEDIÆVAL.
BY
CHARLES WILLIAM KING, M.A

Note: Certain words from the web link are italicized (As in the above quote). Maybe we're supposed to fosus on those?

There is some similarity between these passages and the mystes "Success/failure".

Also, the book is a good Mithraic reference
The Index page is here.

Attached is the pure HTML of all six pages rearranged in proper order.

 		The best I can come up with is:

Visible / Husk (trunk) / Fire / Destroyed

Invisible / Fruit / Storehouse / Saved

What it might mean?? I haven't a clue.

In the differences the message lies...


Has anyone checked for differences between the voice1-6 texts and the simon text? Or differences between the voice1-6 texts themselves?

 		As for the differences between 1-6, it's all just one big, wrapping piece of repeated text. The ONLY place I could see there might be a puzzle there is that it started in mid paragraph and ended in mid paragraph,. But I'm attributing that to cropping done by the puzzle designer when they started chopping up the original image/page.

What I posted ended up being an exact match to the simon page on the mystes site.
