 		LUPEUS IV DOCUMENT
At least part of it

Had a long chat with Richie after he sent the page. Funny Chat, but he learns a lot in it too.

 		The text is from the Rig-Veda. Hymn CXXIX, Book X - Creation.
The "Creation Hymn" speaks of the great, unknown Darkness from which everything springs and about which we know so little:

Quote:
Nor Aught nor Naught existed; yon bright sky
Was not, nor heaven's broad woof outstretched above.
What covered all? what sheltered? what concealed?
Was it the water's fathomless abyss?
There was not death — yet there was naught immortal,
There was no confine betwixt day and night;
The Only One breathed breathless by itself,
Other than it there nothing since has been.
Darkness there was and all at first was veiled
In gloom profound — an ocean without light —
The Germ that still laid covered in the husk
Burst forth, one nature, from the fervent heat.
Then first came Love upon it, the new Spring
Of mind — yea, poets in their hearts discerned,
Pondering, this bond between created things
And uncreated. Comes this spark from the earth
Piercing and all pervading, or from heaven?
Then seeds were sown and mighty powers arose —
Nature below and power and Will above —
Who knows the secret? Who proclaimed it here?
Whence, whence this manifold creation sprang?
The gods themselves came later into being —
Who knows from whence this great creation sprang?
He from whom all this great creation came,
Whether his will created or was mute,
The Most-High Seer that is in highest heaven
He knows it — or perchance even he knows not.

translated by Max Mueller

 		Can someone fill me in as to how all this happened? I don't even see the chat from last night. I'm in a different time zone than you guys and it would be nice to know how exactly you got the page, since when I left the chat, Richie was still at home. I'm sure I'm not the only who wasn't in the chat when the papers were found but would still like know what's going on.

 		Sorry Hy, here are the logs. the reason there are two is because we all got disconnected at the same time and had to start another room.

 		[??] About The Page
WOOHOO!!!

Great job Hatty and everybody involved in recovering the page, and thanks to Syl for posting the log of last nights coversation. Unfortunately at work, I cannot read the files that you posted .. so this may be a trout waiting to happen.

But did anybody question Richie on the fact that a chunk of the page is missing? More importantly the part that has the bottom line that we are assuming to be the spell on it?

I don't want to step on any toes, but if not ... I suggest we check with Father Enoch about matters as this may not count as garnering the page. Let me know.

 		Redhatty, can you grab a shot of the picture on the Lupeus IV page and enlarge it? I'm curious about the details. The copy i grab from here gets really pixilated if i try to zoom in.

 		Well, it looks like our friend Richie has been hard at work again. He searched his attic and in addition to coming up with some extra pages of Lupeus 4 (To be posted soon) ... He also found a load of other goodies! Take a look ...

Quote:

i found lotsa stuff.

I don't believe it. Apparently there was already a buncha crap in the house when I moved in. Bad enough I'm a pack rat but now I get to claim someone elses unwanteds and orfan trash. But among the cool tidbits I dug up I'm postin what I thout were the best of em right now.

A wiked old book (and yeah I do mean old like stuff growin on it old) called Fifth Reader and a newspaper clipping from around the same time... the late 1800s! What a find! So Anyhoo check this junk out an tell me what yous thinks!





The pic abov was the firs thing I opened up to,
cuz there was a newspaper clippin in it.



No more TELEGRAPH POLES?
Whhu whu whu whuttl we do now fer fun?
Guess its back to poprocks n diet sodas fer yoos!



Yeah yeah yeah I ant fergot about it.
Theres really not enough there to get into the story but
I do know its like c. 1906.
Its old. Like the other things.
Zoom into that book cover.
The camera always adds an unsanintary aura
and well as a bacteria ridden membrane.
Thats show biz fer ya.
Don't act like its neve befell you.


So what does this mean to us?

I reviewed the second image above - the pages of the open book, and came up with the following ...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Must exhibit courage during the most apalling circumstances
Every variety of weapons in the hands of their society form strength among the men to restore order to the town and to the world around you
Right now you should see to prepare and learn - find the blue god


And checking out the news article, I was able to come up with the following ...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I accept nothing better than freedom
but i am not in the world
i hope that whoever this is reading
hope
believe
that this world dies with no heroes
explore and discover in preperation for war
but look for some sign

 		The "blue god" is Rama. In Hinduism, he is also considered to be the Seventh Avatara of Vishnu and one of the most important manifestations of God.
the Blue Book of God on Richie's site.

Now I hates birds.

I had this really messed up dream last night. I was leavin the house (not sure why) and there was no traffic. No cars, no people, no nuttin. I walked down the street a couple blocks, an I notices these to birds up in a tree. I walked some more an I sees the same two birds again. So I sez, "Hey you friggin birds! Wherd everybody go?" Allada sudden, friggin birds everywhere. Come outta nowhere turnin the sky black thers so friggin many of em. Like that hitchcock movie, cept they wasnt attackin me. I runs into a building (yeah it was a bar so what youd drink cauz a so much birds too) an theres two birds again inside. Crows or ravens or somethin I dunno exactly cauz I'm not friggin Tony Darwin or whatever the hell his name is. I don't wanna see another friggin bird so long as I live.

Why two birds in the dream? Cauz two is the minimum amount of stuff thats irritating to me.

Cept beer. The more of that the merryer.

The title ses "The Pictorial Tract Primer", whateve to hell that means. It's a small book, blue hardcover (i thot it was black but the cole or fossils or whatevabroke away when i gots my mitts on it), dated 1865. I only gots one scanned image of it rite now cus I was up most ada nite trying to figer out what the hell its for.

Its got prayers and stuff an looks like its rittin for a kid but then its got lists of verbs an letters bettween the prayers an hymz nevrything.

It's definitely some kinda religious book. I was thinkin to myself holy joosefates if i turn the pages a certain way the tingsgona turn to frigin dust! With all the pictures of god an whatnot i was scared i was gona bust it. Godferbid the thing fols apat fore i gedenny money ferit.

Anyway i scand a saved page so to speak so maybe I gots more "news" like th last time ya know? mabey mabey not you know. I'll be creepin around on line a lilbit later so... you know whatever.
