Interesting. I wonder if Echo is saying that we should avoid anything specifically trying to reach to them spiritually because it's easily corrupted? I'm thinking about the wolves in sheeps clothing thing here. That sort of sounded like a "Thanks for the thought, don't do it again" message. Of course I could be wrong.

By the way, I don't mind the long text as long as it's relevant, which that was.

the wolves refrence could mean that the one supporting leech is among us, which could be putting snares in our plans, perhaps we are now hitting the trust no one but them phase.

just a thought on the matter anyway, but very honorable method,

Wolf in Sheep's clothing could mean one among us or one among them is more a beast than a friend. We have to be careful to watch each other but not let it sow too much paranoia. That isn't healthy either.

I think it's one among them. The message seems pretty straightforward to me:

"honor for your intent" - I appreciate your intentions

"be careful reaching to this side" - there's danger over here!

"there is no gray" - There are good spirits and evil ones, and nothing in between. Also, with the "ay" spelling, we know Echo's American Wink

"wolves in sheep's clothing" - just because there are only good and evil spirits, it's not obvious which is which.

I sent this email to Mona because I thought she should know:

my email wrote:
I am also making a collage for my art class about Byberry. I'm using some of your words in it. I thought you would like to know.


Mona's email wrote:

or...it could be a count down of sorts... because last time i checked in the book i have been pulling my research on, the rings as the descend down in number bring one closer to the prime material plane of existence (the one we live and breathe on) where as heading further away takes us to the true after life. of course mona could be moveing in to save the one in the center from god knows what,

and as for my refence to sheeps clothing, look at what echo said one has submitted and later one has bowed down, this would mean a wolf among us innocent sheep just out of my own observation not to mention the weirdo emails i keep getting

I remember Echo saying something about moving toward the center and from the center to freedom. Also on the phone message he definitely said "movement inward from nine" which at least implies that she's moving toward the center. I had definitely been under the impression that inward was a good thing, but I could be wrong.

could be, it is said that spirits view things the opposite way we do. which would mean looking to head out would be heading in.. but to do so Mona is gonna run right in to what ever it is still in ring 4. and i bet static crackle chop squeal won't head that far in.. if he doesn't that means either he has no power there or what ever that it is that's there is enough to make even him run scared... and i doubt that it is a good thing either.

still perplexing the thought of a traitor among us and i have a list of suspects as well as my self on that list because we have to look at it from the possibility while not mentioning him by name but by some reference may have still been powering him

Yeah... I keep wondering about the traitor thing. I can't imagine who it would be unless someone is doing it unintentionally (like you said with the reference thing), and that doesn't seem right either. Perplexing.

I got the exact same countdown email from Mona, I don't know what it means for sure but we are getting closer to Thursday. Could be a countdown to her getting out. Could be a countdown to her getting down the rings but that seems somehow wrong.

Now, there could be more here than meets the eye...could there be something happening on Wednesday instead of on Thursday. It makes me wonder.

I agree with Tonamel's take on this

When I read Echo's response, I pretty much summed it up this way as well.

"wolves in sheep's clothing" - just because there are only good and evil spirits, it's not obvious which is which.

For the sake of clarity, when I refference the word "Charge" Im talking about activating the sigil (IE: Activating the intent and sending it to its destination) which I did not do (I did not perform that operation as I was looking for guidance from Echo). Without the stated charge, the sigil is just a piece of art. I designed the original to be destroyed by myself if it was deemed unecessary and / or dangerous, and that is what I have done based on Echo's response.
My interpretation of:
Quote:

"honor for your intent"
"be careful reaching to this side"
"there is no gray"

Can be summed up as: The idea/intent is valid. However, if you complete this or any other spiritualy powerful operation that goes beyond the type of transmissions utilized thus far, be advised that there is no gray matter. There are good and evil beings, and based on that, evil at a higher form of evolution could be presented in a "non evil" package (IE: If you do not know the exact affiliation of what you are contacting/sending power to or dealing with, I advise you to halt that operation).
- At this point, Im going to remain unparanoid as I think that paranoia could make something or someone negative dance with glee.

Also awoke to Mona's countdown email which made me glad as I agree with Jiangling about the meaning. Mona says herself in equinox: "I see the direction....there is great hope" and then mailed to say she is on ring 2, closer to freedom (infinity?). Very Happy

Same mail for me & I also think it means that Mona is on her way to freedom.

Tonamel & Psysop, I agree with your interpretation and couldn't have said it better! No paranoia here!

Jiangling cool that you got a phone call too. i get excited everytime the caller id says private sadly though most of the time it is not nearly a cool enough phone call. but now there are two to hear the call.

has anyone considered why the crosses are arranged the way they are with the oh or zero at the bottom. plus there are 12 and not 9 but they link to each of the events we have encountered.

i get no e-mails any more hmmmmmm

Phone call = awesome.

I was wondering about the crosses, since there are more crosses than rings. They seem to link to the pages we've found, and since there are two on the same line, maybe they will end up being on ring levels but some have multiple pages? Not sure.

I sent Mona a reply asking if that meant she had made it to ring 2, but no reply. Either she hasn't gotten around to it, or she can't reach me from there. Hmm. Anyway, I choose to believe that

Regarding the sigil thing -- what you did is what I think Echo was suggesting and what I was trying to get at by "easily corrupted" in the sense that you might have the best of intentions but end up doing something bad without realizing it just because of the way things work.

I'm not sure there's any significance to Thursday at this point. That thought was based on an alternate interpretation of "movement on nine," which is now confirmed to have meant Mona's circle as opposed to the date. Though there is always room for multiple interpretations to be true.

Have I addressed everything now? I think I have...
