Edit: It should however be noted that this is specific to the phrase "THE life unending" whereas the video says "A life unending"


Welcome GB8889! I believe it says, "While the death of a man is often terrible, the life unending may be worse." I believe it's important to examine the phrase in context. To me it doesn't make sense to say heaven is worse than death.

I may have misheard the video but after watching it I believe that the transcription on the first page is wrong and it does say "A life unending.

I edited my first post because I thought it was a strange phrase as well and realized that the difference between "a" and "the" life unending may actually discount my original theory completely.

GB, I've listened to it again and am not positive if it says "a" or "the" so hopefully others will weigh in on the dialogue. I'll change the first post if others agree about what it says. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey all,

I just listened to it a few times and I am pretty sure that it says "The" not "A". From what I gather "The life unending" could mean your eternal life in heaven or in hell. I'm guessing if that was indeed a religious reference that when they say "may be worse" they're referring to hell.

An interesting thing about that, the alternative name to the movie Eyes without a Face is called The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus. The story of Dr. Faustus is a play about a doctor who sold his soul to the devil for power and knowledge.

Lots of Hell/Satan references there...

I sent Songwraith the following message///


Quote:
I believe your video shows an 'echelon' of Johann Faust. I believe that your are a society of people that follow in the ways of Faust's magick and alchemy. I am interested to learn more of your history, I can protect them.


And I got a message back from him/her saying

Where are you located?

I had asked Songwraith for clarification of "a" or "the" as discussed above and just got this reply:


Quote:
Trust the ears of others.

Where are you located?


I'm taking that to mean GB8889 was correct and it's "a" so I'll change the transcript.

The video description said "take your time," which might have been a suggestion to review before we move ahead.

So I watched Eyes Without A Face and found no connection there whatsoever. Not even to the pictures in the video.

Also found out that "Echelon" was the name of a SIGINT (signals intelligence) collection and analysis program. There are a large amount of conspiracy theories that revolve around the program. It would also fit with the "eyes without a face" since it is supposedly watching almost every communication in the world but has no public presence. Then again, why would a government agency have to work though a youtube video.

Glad you got a responses back, Dev and Tresbien. Have you two answered back yet? Also does anyone think it might be prudent to give Songwraith the cities of all of us following this trail?

Great info about Echelon/SIGINT GB8889. There's a lot of info on the web about it that's worth checking out.

Yes, I did reply to songwraith's message and think your idea for others to do the same is a good one. I gave my location and asked if I could be of help. Perhaps we'll be rewarded for taking the initiative to contact him.

Good catch but:
Trust me when I say that this will have nothing to do with SIGINT.
If it does, it will be in the most bass-ackwards sort of way, that makes about zero sense.

joshtheme, I think you're right as "long-hidden secrets" and "a life unending" seem to point in a different direction and time.

I am not totally convinced I got all the words right.
