Agent Darkness' Blog wrote:
Look For The Hidden Words

The hidden words will be the key to unlocking the mystery of what is happening in Indiana. You must find them, and use them wisely.


In the title of the page, not only are the words "Hidden" and "Words" capitalized but the word "The" is as well. This led me HERE. Go there and read until you hit the "Introduction". Then finish reading this.

Ok. Sounds like it could pertain, right? Think about the last words of the WW's last message..."Ask and ye shall receive entry". It stood out as odd when I first read it because of the religious tone.

I tried a few variations of the 7th prayer from both the Arabic and the Persian in the Agent Blog and the PoS weebly addresses. Both culture's versions of the prayers are quite different. They are both HERE.

I really don't know how we would apply any of this except to have Colby use a prayer as a guide to a particular action.

The PMs wouldn't use a source like this unless they gave us the information we needed to find what we are looking for. The 7's? Something in the source code?

Edit:

Example:

Hidden Words- Persian wrote:
7: O SON OF LOVE! Thou art but one step away from the glorious heights above and from the celestial tree of love. Take thou one pace and with the next advance into the immortal realm and enter the pavilion of eternity. Give ear then to that which hath been revealed by the pen of glory.


Of course there are many more that sound like they directly relate.



This is odd... jason mentoned something about Shadow people in his post on student.com..

Quote:
9: O FLEETING SHADOW! Pass beyond the baser stages of doubt and rise to…"

25
O FLEETING SHADOW! Pass beyond the baser stages of doubt and rise to the exalted heights of certainty. Open the eye of truth, that thou mayest behold the veilless Beauty and exclaim: Hallowed be the Lord, the most excellent of all creators!



EDIT: Ive been going over this 7 thing and looking at the 7/7/07 @ 7:07

it could be seen as: 07 07 07 07 07..... what could this mean?? five 7's... 35? im stumped..

Enter the realm of eternity? Doesn't exactly fit...

EDIT: About 777 - here's all you would ever want to know about the number 7 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_%28number%29

Yeah, I looked at the 35th and am stumped too.

What do we have that relates to Unton?

1.) Agent: Darkness- Find the hidden words. Use them wisely. There is no way that he could be refering to Gabriel's "secret" communication because (1) he doesn't have any contact with Gabriel and (2) this was supposedly posted on July 7th.

2.) The dating of the post gives us 7/7/07 @ 7:07

3.) The WW have somehow moved Unton and it's population into another dimension. Find the Chosen. Ask and ye shall receive entry. I emailed them and asked for entry. No response.

4.) Right before Colby left for Unton, he said that "The calls have started again. Too bad I'm going away". That must be his land line.

5.) The sky in Unton turned green. We assume that it's because of the "dimension" shift.

6.) The only detail that Colby has told us about Unton other than "no one is here" is the barking dog that they couldn't find. I think that Colby told that to each of the three people who were on AIM with him that day.

Anything else?

I was wondering about the dog barking.

Maybe they arrived there just as the WW were shifting the dimensions. Maybe they heard the dog barking, but then the dog was moved to the other dimension and thats why they couldnt find it?

I hope that made sense xD

orr maybe if they could find the origin of where the dog was barking from, and that may be the portal... like a worm hole or something, so whoever said cross-dimensional barking may not have been too far off?

[somewhat off topic/spec]

Yep! In my weird studies, I found that Time loops/warps/vortex's melt into another time (as yet I've not come across anything relating to another place)
For example, if you were at a location where a time loop existed, it could be as simple as walking through a door.

One of the most famous storys, is when a man bought a cottage to renovate, he had just installed a new kitchen, and went in there to get a beer, when he walked through the door he saw the kitchen in its old state (obviously from a older period in time), with a old woman and man looking terribley shocked at him. They could interact with each other, however when he turned around, the kitchen was back to normal.

Pretty interesting stuff.

That was my "cross-dimensional barking" comment.

Thing is, this is day 3 in Unton and nothing has been accomplished. They must be waiting for us. If so, they think that we have everything that we need to make a decision.

I emailed Colby and-

- asked about the dog. No response.
- asked if he would be willing to meet with Agent. No response.
- linked "The Hidden Words" book. Asked what he thought. No reponse.
- mentioned how useful the phonebook is. No response.

that would be the obvious answer to meeting up with Gabriel, right? but i guess its not how the PM wants the story to go.. I think he might have meant for us to get this hidden words thing quickly, so he didnt have to deal with the "why dont you use the phonebook" questions...

why do i have the feeling the answer is right in front of us and we cant see it?


EDIT: Hey did anyone else notice the title to the Prophecy Plan [Weebly] Page? Its called "Title." whats up with that? I dont think that was an accident...


EDIT2: Maybe we're missing something inside the meat of a source paragraph? Theres some pretty meaty paragraphs..

I have the same feeling and it's frustrating the hell out of me.

I have never thought of myself as an idiot so of course I want to say that the PM(s) thought this was solvable because they already knew the answer. I hope they're willing to drop it if we can't figure it out.

Maybe they are but we have come close to the answer and they're giving us time to see it. You know that they are reading this.

Edit: Yes, I noticed "Title". Could that refer to "The Chosen", "Ask and ye shall receive entry", or "The Hidden Words"?

i mean what looks like gibberish at the bottom of source pages, such as the giant paragraph at the bottom of the hidden words page source... maybe its stashed inside there or another page perhaps... not out in the open like alot of other clues are

Don't forget about Colby's blog on 7/7/07 at 7:00pm. Maybe that has something to do with it? I really have no ideas right now.

http://lifeandthestars.blogspot.com/2007/07/lucky-number-seven-seven-oh-seven.html

EDIT - And while I'm thinking about it didn't the seventh Harry Potter book come out on 7-7-07. Colby has blogged about that quite a bit. It seemed kind of random that Christine and Colby talked about it all the time, but maybe Harry Potter has something to do with it.

2x EDIT - Sorry, the book was originally supposed to be released on 7-7-07, however it was actually released on 7-21-07. But, there still could be a relevance.

You mean this?
"_WidgetManager._SetDataContext({'title': 'Unton', 'pageType': 'index', 'url': 'http://untonindiana.blogspot.com/', 'homepageUrl': 'http://untonindiana.blogspot.com/', 'pageTitle': 'Unton', 'encoding': 'UTF-8'," etc.

That's not a clue - that's a big javascript array.

I have exhausted my mind.

Today I spent another good 8 hours trying to find "hidden words", "The Chosen", or some way to "Ask and ye shall receive entry".

I took the "7/7/07 @ 7:07" as a lead to re-examine Colby's "Lucky Number 7" blog post and search it for "hidden words". Nothing.

Colby has been in Unton for 3 days and all we've gotten from him was the "barking dog" on day 1. It really seems like we're missing something. Everything I try, though, makes me feel like I'm grasping at straws.

I hate to say it but, even though I had been really enjoying this, it is quickly losing it's draw. I know that it might be me who is missing something but I feel that it's not as obvious as the PM(s) thinks it is.

well i may not have spent 8 hours, but it seems a bit like a wild goose chase right now.

i looked up american eagle flight 77. (norfolk to chicago, fyi), i've tried to find pages on blogspot with 7/77/777/7777/70707707 etc. checked page sources again. i've tried to look up some anagrams for a few words, but nothing relevant came up.

if gabriel and justin really are stuck in their home, and have been stuck for a couple of days, you'd think they'd have got bored by now and would have been back online too!

has anyone read the latest harry potter btw? i mean all our protagonists seem to love harry potter. think those aliens could control the mind of jk rowling and have her write secret hints in her books?!
