Not sure if this is part of the email as it wasn't stated but in case the translation is loosely:

I Grow Tired Of Your Games

I know. That was my message to them. Laughing
Just felt I should include it, because it looks like I was the first one to get his e-mail. Very Happy

 		Some information on the above post....


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The term "noogenesis" was coined by the Christian mystic, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. It means the growth or development of consciousness--the coming into being of the "noosphere." Noosphere is defined as the sphere or stage of evolutionary development characterized by (the emergence or dominance of) consciousness, the mind, and interpersonal relationships.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a visionary French Jesuit, paleontologist, biologist, and philosopher, who spent the bulk of his life trying to integrate religious experience with natural science, most specifically Christian theology with theories of evolution. In this endeavor he became absolutely enthralled with the possibilities for humankind, which he saw as heading for an exciting convergence of systems, an "Omega point" where the coalescence of consciousness will lead us to a new state of peace and planetary unity. Long before ecology was fashionable, he saw this unity he saw as being based intrinsically upon the spirit of the Earth:

"The Age of Nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the Earth."
Teilhard de Chardin passed away a full ten years before James Lovelock ever proposed the "Gaia Hypothesis" which suggests that the Earth is actually a living being, a collosal biological super-system. Yet Chardin's writings clearly reflect the sense of the Earth as having its own autonomous personality, and being the prime center and director of our future -- a strange attractor, if you will -- that will be the guiding force for the synthesis of humankind[spoiler]

 		Heck, I can explain this one! Who figured!?

Nice solve Abu... here's how it's done:

Your message was:
Within the act of creation resides
the path to truth and what lies beyond
in understanding, see
and become that in which we believe

vEoOeAggDMLnAMVoCHqhciFKrEODd
fLCoSkKCgsBBoDZkGvFCkHzNZRdgfzc
LElZPCmmsBiEcIbDJP
KjKLGVClDacNAifrgePLhGNJahOmO

use the second set of letters (the wacky string) to either take away or add to the values of the letters in the 4 lines. If the letter is small in the decode string, take away from the passage. If it is capital, add.

Let's do the first word together, shall we?

Within matches up with vEoOeA

Taking the letter values (in a standard 26 letter alphabet)

23 9 20 8 9 14 matches up with -22 +5 -15 +15 -5 +1

giving you (combined)

1 14 5 23 4 15

or...

A NEW DO...

Nice and simple, once it's solved. Wink

Again, huge props to Abu. I'm only summarizing how it's done.

I think we should keep a log of what we e-mail them in response.

I'm telling them that teamwork is key.

 		I told them:

"I learned that it takes many different viewpoints and ways of looking at something before you can see its true meaning.

And that you sometimes need to rely on the kindness of strangers."

The last part is especially true right now because I'm so swamped with work there is no way I could have figured out the message any time soon. Thanks team!

 		While our species is still evolving, and while we become smarter and smarter. This does not negate the fact, that the only way for us to reach our fullest potential is by working together. One mind, no matter how brilliant, can withstand the efforts of a hundred minds working in unison. We started as a single being and we shall become a single being once more in the future.

And thus our journey begins.
Until all are One.

enlightenment requires a convergence of mind, interpersonal relationships, consciousness which requires a balance of science and religion


It was late when I did this so who knows what I was thinking Smile
