 		BigJ1666--that's very NEW and very nice find. BTW,the above dots from Morse are EISI but good thought. Very Happy

Could WBY be refering to William Butler Yeats? We had a Yeats reffy from echo yesterday.

 		Good thinking on the Yeats ref Am, "the disconnected gave words to WBY"
and really Yeats is all about the words Smile

 		ok i called....

a quasi-creepy male voice whispered

"there is truth in the silence. patience"

I am not 100% sure the last word was patience.

It was actually an outgoing VM message. I didn't leave anything cause I have NO clue what to say.

 		Ok, after a wee bit of digging I found this site http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25800
with a post about 3/4 of the way down the page from someone named lavendar1 who says "Yeats was interested in mysticism" when referring to a book written by Brenda Maddox called Yeats's Ghosts

also on the time's on line's website http://tls.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,25341-2141772_1,00.html :

Quote:
Lord Glenavy, in the Chair, felt at this point obliged to ask the question, "Do you not think we might leave the dead alone?", but this barely interrupted Yeats's oratorical flow: "I am passing on," he responded. "I would hate to leave the dead alone."


again, the ny times did an article on a biography written about him:
http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/11/21/reviews/991121.21leegat.html

Quote:
Yeats's lifelong fascination with reincarnation, communication with the dead, mediums, supernatural systems and Oriental mysticism were ''profoundly experiential things which affected how he felt and thought about human life.''


and on the same sight, this caught my eye too Wink


Quote:
Yeats's terrifying last poem, ''The Black Tower,'' written a week before his death, and evoking an Irish hillside where the dead are buried upright and men wait for a king who will not return:

"There in the tomb the dark grows blacker,
But winds come up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake."

Nor will Yeats lie still; his words still shake us, he continues to haunt us, to need to be rewritten as history re-shapes him, to have his bones rattled yet again.

 		Bowled over by everyone's braininess(word?) Smile and that VM msg is awesome, BigJ1666.
Also, mentioned yesterday, Yeats claimed that his book A Vision was dictated by "spirits"

For clarity: the original "craiglist ctc" was pers-823147452 while today's is pers-826416881SPLATcraigslist.org.

 		Email from Echo
Echo's email says:

Quote:
mercy

freedom like wings


"Freedom like wings" is found in Wither/Ascend by Stavesacre:

the pain will come
with the morning sun
will the night betray the day
blistered skin
withered from within
scratch to shed this shell away
will you know my name
or will i hang my head in shame
will someone take this tired skin
that i've been dying in
will someone hold me to the light
and if I die tonight
then take this broken man
and wrap me tight within
this brand new skin
watch me fly
freedom like wings and i will use them
freedom like wings and i will spread them wide
watch me fly...
freedom my wings...
freedom my wings...
and rise
one day my ashes will return to earthly slumber
spread far and wide across the desert and the sea
until then i will live each day in awe and wonder
look forward to each sunrise

 		Wow good work guys and girls... All this in one day nice.

Um yeah no wonder I've been stumped, I never knew about the sleep.mp3 before now.

Anyway cracking on.

I also got the 'Go to sleep' email and have replied.

Quote:

 		Riders On The Storm and New Email
Just wanted to throw in some background on The Doors song "Riders On The Storm." It was the last song recorded by Jim Morrison who died in 1971, and it features him whispering over the main lyrics to create a haunting sound. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riders_on_the_Storm Apparently, it was based on a spree killer named Billy Cook who killed an entire family.

ETA: I asked Echo if we could help this troubled soul. Here's Echo's reply:
Quote:
souls stirring

speak in sleep

voices unheard

by those reaching

for the door

Who are you? if I get this correctly .. through dimensions I will have to listen to voices soon? Or a voice will come to me through dimensiosn which you would like me to listen too? In any case I would like to ask if you are from our dimension or another one? And do you need some help ?


From that he sent me this:

and EISI into numbers that will operate the Laser mail security code at the end of the message, but nothing yet. Probably nothing useful there anyway.
