SPOILER - Guide E-mail: Title - SUM OF TWO

Msg:

gfkpebhabaedpcmgddadnmqafnficcbatg atlgcfggebbaecazhfcdda glbgmaabfiggcpabfciffobq djdaraqbpkgmdsdeffge

yields:

gf kp eb ha ba ed pc mg dd ad nm qa fn fi cc
M A G I C I S T H E A R T O F

C A U S I N G C H A N G E S

bg ma ab fi gg cp ab fc if fo bq dj da ra qb pk gm ds de ff ge
I N C O N S C I O U S N E S S A T W I L L

The method is left as an exercise for the reader.

Magic is the art of causing changes in consciousness at will.

Apparently a quote by Dion Fortune (Thanks, Danman_D).

And that leads to: http://www.mythosphere.org/fortune.html

OK! BRING ON THE NEXT ONE!

Another e-mail.

Title: one step forward, two steps back.

Msg: uffw bpf ric gmskfpt mg ric qpjkbj nyo riyu gt cmcncorbpz kbl, ble ricz fbtf muffp ble escbrfp pdggdct, dpp jl uffk bpf kblz uppmbt yob syoit yob tnicsct

This is actually how it was encoded. Decode it the other way.

Translate the message to:

They are the formers of the primal man, that is Elementary Man, and they have other and greater offices, for in them are many worlds and ranks and spheres.

This was found to be from: Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn, 6th ed., Llewellyn Pub., 1989, p. 110 (thanks, Asmyth!)

This leads to: http://www.mythosphere.org/regardie.html

BOOYAH, bring on the next e-mail!

FYI, we got bouncebacks with intiates...It should be initiates. Red or blue depending on your team. PMs fault on the misspelling, not ours. No, never ours.

third email

someone at CD received:

Quote:
aqwt lqwtpga ku da cpqvjgt rcvj
yt mjqu ymj tsj bmt ltjx gjdtsi
zkhq fdoohg brx pxvw ilqg d zdb
amxlsyx csy li gerrsx gsqi fego


each line is a different ROT

ROT-24 "your journey is by another path"
ROT-21 "to help the one who goes beyond"
ROT-23 "when called you must find a way"
ROT-22 "without you he cannot come back"

w00t for the SPECIAL GROUP! Smile

You guys are amazing - simply amazing - we're grouping the non-colored group as "white" for now. Thought Red, White, and Blue would be kewl!

The two names from the quotes were
Dion Fortune and Israel Regardie.

Here is a bio of both (in one file).

Maybe you'll catch something more besides the Order of the Golden Dawn and the Society of the Inner Light, and Alistair Crowley. More info will come from others who are also looking for commonalities.

Fairies, Colors, and Peter Pan

"There are always a lot of young ones," explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, "because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve (red) ones are boys and white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are."

J.M. Barrie, from Peter Pan

Although non-chromatic at this point, I'll be viewing from afar.

Good luck! Very Happy

Then you're in the White/Transparent Group.
Please note down your name in the relevant group here

If you type in "initiatesred" or "initiatesblue" into the www.cluesearch.com search box, it creates another search box where the results should go.

Spooky.


Also, try searching "Consciousness"... see the first page, it brings you to a completely irrelevent page, with no links to the word 'consciousness' whatsoever.
