[PUZZLE][EMAIL] Email from Mrs. Foucher -->arcana imperii
What Betty found in the book, Russell posted on flickr

I recieved this today.

Quote:
My dear Dashcat,
We do not have much time, so I shall get right to the point. Please tell me, dear, is it safe for me to contact you? I have heard stories about Sammeeeees going over to this horrible dark temple and posing a great threat to some of us. You have always been honest with me. I do trust you, but I must be cautious. There is so much at stake. I do hope all is well with you and your friends. I look forward to your reply.

Best wishes,
Mrs. Paul Foucher


I replied to her. Unfortunately I can't sign on here during the day so if she replies with urgent information I won't be able to post it til around 6pm. I think theu UNBC should write to her. Her address is cosetteSPLATuk2.net

I just recieved a new message from Mrs. Foucher

Quote:
My dear Dashcat,

It is so nice to read a note from you as well. I have something for you and your Sammeeeee friends. Please do not allow this item to fall into the wrong hands, dear. I am handing this item over to Russell. He will place this item on his special account. Russell has confirmed he still has this special account. To insure only the eyes of friends see this item, Russell will somehow filter who will have access to this item. I do hope this makes sense, dear. If you have any questions please to not hesitate to write to me.

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Paul Foucher

Dash, I'm glad Mrs. Foucher wrote to you. I sent Russell a Flickrmail yesterday morning, asking him to introduce me to Mrs. Foucher, but I never heard anything from him. I was hoping he would see the message in time.

Roughly the same, but thought I'd add;

Quote:
My dear sweet Jenna,

It is so nice to hear from you. Thank you for coming to my assistance. If it isn't too much trouble, I should like for you to speak with the other "safe" Sammeeeees. Tell them Russell will be posting an item later this evening. This is a most important item, Jenna, therefore Russell will be very cautious about who will be able to view it. Russell will place this item in his special place. I believe you are aware of the location. Thank you for lending a hand, dear. Please be careful. Betty tells me this Eidolon fellow is extremely dangerous.

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Paul Foucher

I don't have links. Russell has demoted me from "friend" on his flickr. Enaxor posted this http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1070/911816640_f429094551_o.jpg and I copied and played with the contrast. I thought she would have posted this info last night.

/me goes back through the chat log.

Here is what she said was in the comments:

Quote:
Betty said she found this stuck between the pages of the ancient book. The last person to have seen this book was a Mister Alan Walker. She has one more page for you. I will upload it as soon as she is finished tracing it.


By the time she went to bed, the next picture had not yet been posted.

More from the chat:
Quote:
here is all the latin, reductio ad infinitum(leading back to the infinite) Visio die Mithras(Vision of God Mithras) ad vitam aeteman(To Eternal life) Acaelo usque ad centrum(From the sky to the center) and concordia cum vertate(In Harmony with truth)

I didn't post it, because you'd already posted 3 versions of the picture. I didn't realize that you hadn't posted Betty's comment with it. My bad. Embarassed

It's a team approach. Wink Sorry. Hubby needed attention so I left the chat after posting the different contrast of the flickr.

Map from Mrs. PF Posted on Flickr

I didn't get a chance to play with this a lot, but I did reduce the brightness of it and you can look at it up close here:
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=912145372&size=o

It says you can download a larger image of it, which, hopefully, will allow you to zoom in on it a bit.

I found the original graphic Russell posted. The second link requires you to scroll down quite a ways.

I recieved a reply from Russell (I wrote asking him if Flickr was the right place because I couldn't see the image he posted). He replied

Quote:
I apologize, Dashcat. I needed to make you "family" to view the first item. Please tell the others to write to me if they would like to view this also. Thank you. Betty will have the second item for you very soon.

Russell


So you need to write to Russell to see the pics.

So were we suppose to see the second page?

That information on the Mithric caves is amazing.

Here is the info from Invisible College link (since the page is sooooo long).
Quote:
Cave of Mithra

The cosmos as we know it is inside a cave. In the walls of this cave are embedded the solid earth environment, sky, stars and planets. Mithra is said to be born from a rock. Modern apologists theorize that "Mithra" was an actor in a ritual drama who made his appearance into a cave filled with worshipers from a hidden, outside entrance, thus seeming to come through the rock wall.

Plato, in his cave allegory, may have drawn from the Mithraic paradigm, which is a belief system dating from antiquity, originating prior to the familiar pre-Socratic philosophers of Greece and Asia Minor . The tradition has roots so ancient and obscure that there arte no exact records of its origin.

In Plato's version of the "cave scenario" people sitting in a cave beside a fire and facing away from the entrance see only the shadows of figures moving outside the cave entrance as projected onto the rock wall in front of them and think that these partial images are a "higher reality" and/or the only reality.

In the modern day, one might advance this allegory to include persons sitting in a cave with laptop computers and cable television who believe that the information and images of people and places they receive on their screens are the only reality. It is common to state that "the map is not the territory". We know these partial images are only interconnective and that a larger, wilder world lies outside the communications cave.

Taking this one step further, and re-invoking the Mithraic source of Plato's thought, let us now assume that our "cave" is exactly where we are at any one time within the limitations of our physical, bodily mechanism to perceive., either locally or non-locally, and including the attachments of physical memory.

Battery Cell (Fig 6 above)

It has been observed that battery cells which utilize ion flow within an arrangement of juxtaposed chemical components in layers often do not function normally in the presence of "ufo" phenomena and also sometimes when telepathic and/or spirit information has been transmitted. It can be inferred that the god Mithra is trying to come in through the stone wall in these battery cells and has thus displaced the literal, molecular structure of the cell itself.

But since Mithra can walk through this wall and back into Unknown Regions, the regular molecular structure closes behind him when the messenger has delivered that specific message. Batteries affected by the presence of (4+n) dimensional intelligence and information often (but not always) return to normal functioning afterward**See QUAISI QUANTUM MATERIAL SHIFT pdf paper attached below.

It is a jolt, a jump-start, an interjection, a message from afar which subtly changes the flow of events which has resumed after the swift delivery receipt has been signed.

But maybe the events do not significantly change until after the information in the swift mail missive has been parsed. The message may contain operative instructions such as: "Attack tonight at X location".

This process is substantially the same as the download of an executable program into a computer. So, since we are still trying to design a global map of the (4+n) dimensional experience, the injection of a file followed by the file's execution of instructions within the specific hard drive is somewhat of an allegory.

The personality of the operator, as in the appearance of the god Mithra enacted by different individuals at different times, may make the process of (4+n) dimensional transfer of information more like a courier delivery than a file transferal, even though this is accomplished by means of subtle energy.

In fact, this may be more than a simple allegory when synchronous behavior and selection is observed to operate on a computer, independent of the operator's conscious (4d) volition.

Hi Russell,

Just wondered how Betty's doing copying that second item. We hope to see it soon.

I promise I will post it soon. Hopefully by morning. Betty has been having a difficult time the last few days. She was up nearly all last evening and tonight is no better. She tells us she hears Mr. Johnson's laughter and howling. I'm worried about her. She's very nervous. On top of that, she's also having trouble with Cambridge. They have not been cooperative about granting unlimited access to the arcana imperii. Betty has the tracing complete, but she's attempting to make it clearer. She'd like to see the document once more before sending this. I told her we should just give it to you Sammeeeees. Perhaps you can figure it out. As I said, she is very nervous and on edge. This state of mind has made her very timid. She's having a very difficult time with any decisions. I will push for her to send it off.

Thank you.

Russell
