 		I just received an interesting reply from altjeringa.

Quote:
Altjeringa is currently in the process of exploring a new and potentially very powerful energy source that relies upon the complex relationship between and individual and his or her intelligible character. Under normal conditions, no such relationship can reasonably exist, as the individual, influenced by sensation and bound to causality, has no knowledge of his or her intelligible character, which necessarily exists independent of the physical world. It has come to our attention recently that extraordinary circumstances may allow for a relationship to exist between these two entities, and this has piqued our interest.

At present, we are seeking individuals who may have experienced such extraordinary circumstances in order to properly test our theories regarding the energy potential inherent in this bond. We would be wonderfully pleased if you were to aid us in this search. The individuals we seek share the common feature of a circuitous route to the present coupled with periods of intermittent unconsciousness or "black outs." Once found, the individuals in question will be generously compensated for their participation in our research.

regards,
Jack



This makes me wonder if Jerry realizes his employer is or could be researching him to make him into some sort of energy source. Somehow I'm not sure if Jerry would be happy as a battery...

 		I received an identical response last night. Any thoughts on whether we should tell them? Telling the you-know-whos seems to have been a disaster, but this sounds equally suspicious to me -- the assurance that they will be "generously compensated" sounds a little too good to be true to me...

 		I would agree whole heartedly on the compensation seeming too good to be true. Since learning about their passengers Jerry and Annabelle seem to not be doing well and that reply sounded like Altjeringa would be egging that on. It almost sounds like Altjeringa is hunting them down for some reason. Well, some reason other than the stated one.

As much as I hate to say it, I really don't think I know enough to decide if we should tell the you-know-whos about Altjeringa or vice versa.

 		I sent the following response, doing my best to be non-comittal and vague:
Quote:
I may be able to assist you, although the symptoms you describe are somewhat vague; I will investigate whether those individuals I know who have experienced similar symptoms may be the kind of research subjects you are seeking. Have you developed any particular test to positively identify someone who fits your requirements? What sort of research would these individuals be expected to participate in? Do you believe that their condition is dangerous?


Maybe these aren't the best questions to be asking, but I'm hoping to engage "Jack" in some dialogue. Not sure what my odd are there, considering we recevied word-for-word identical responses last time. Smile

 		Alterjinga Connection
Hey guys, I'm just getting caught up here. I just found this while hunting around in Annabelle's image directory:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

http://iamannabelle.com/wp-content/themes/page-balloon/img/jeringa.html


Either it's a goof, or someone (B or A) saved it there trying to find some connection to Alterjinga. Dunno.

Also, @SyNeSTro, how in the world did you figure out what to do with those letters? Guess I need to wiki rot18 and figure out wtf just happened. hehe. Surf Wisely.

 		Only thing I have new to report is that on the uploaded files link to Annabelle's site there's now a link to October although there is currently nothing there.

Was there an actual image for the Altjeringa picture in her image directory? All I'm seeing when I check it is a small box with a question mark. The webpage title also changes to Altejeringa Foundation. Doesn't imply to me this has anything to do with someone doing research and just saving it. Especially considering Altjeringa seems to be searching for people who have had these experiences. Think Belle or Annabelle is in contact with them?

 		Belle just posted a new video and pic of Annabelle. Annabelle doesn't exactly seem happy.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the video, I looked up Checkers cigarettes just in case. Didn't find much after a cursory search other than they're really cheap. The next thing I noticed is that all the writing except on the group pic of the tarot cards is backwards. Why this is I'm not sure. Also, the book the Tarot cards are laying on appears to be Modern Philosophy (Modern is just a guess), and you can make out Descartes' name. I'm going to look up the meanings of the Tarot cards shown later on also. The pic of the book and Tarot cards are in her uploaded files directory.

http://iamannabelle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/

Maybe Jack and/or Altjeringa can help?

EDIT: So, I looked up the Tarot cards I could read the names of at www.learntarot.com
The Devil means bondage, focusing on the material things and feeling hopeless and ignorant. Nine of swords reinforces this with worry. The Magician means in essence just what Belle said although it does mean taking action more than anything. Those are the only ones I could actually read the titles of.

 		On the image, the other cards are "The Hierophant," the Queen of Cups, and one more - the one on the right under The Hierophant -- I can't see enough identifying information to figure out what it is. I think if we could figure out exactly which deck she's using, we might be able to determine which card that is, but I'm not having any luck so far.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Each of those tarot cards has a number associated with it - don't know if it means anything, but from left to right the numbers would be 1, 15, 12, 9, 5, ? (depending on what the last card is).

Also, (again, I don't know what it means) the item at the back of the pile is a Kindle, isn't it? So we have Descartes/Philosophy Book, Tarot Cards, and a Kindle?

 		First post so be gentle.

I found that the deck is Palladini and the covered card is the King of Pentacles

Yay!

edit: since I'm new thought a reference might be in order Smile so that's from tarot.com. Pictures of every card from probably every deck

After a little more time on it I found that the Palladini was created to "bridge the ancient with the future" and it one of themmost popular among new students of the tarot.

The King represents success in business.

 		New reply in the Passengers Only communication page. It would seem as though Annabelle is getting ready to do something...
