I think we've got it. Massive organ - Little mouse. Jayden's revolting plan becomes clear. He MUST be stopped. Or videotaped.

Just looking into our almond password. Interesting stuff:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdala

Seems this part of the brain is linked with fear stimulus, memory and conditioning.

If you're looking for more about the medicinal plant, it's also known as a species of Passionflower: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passion_flower?wasRedirected=true

Note its comparison with oxazepam and fact its name is specifically linked to Christian imagery, as are all the individual parts...

Just some quotes and info on the plant in question:
Quote:
In China, Erigeron breviscapus is used extensively as a traditional herbal drug to improve brain circulation and enhance cerebral function


From wikipedia article on "Erigeron":
Quote:
Erigeron breviscapinus - Life Flower
and
Quote:
the name erigeron is derived from the Greek (eri = early; geron = old man), a reference to the appearance of the white hairs of the fruit soon after flowering...

Seems quite popular in the herbal remedy market:
http://herbal-powers.com/lifeflower.html

Guys, I have a request to ask of you:
You may have noticed I'm trying to set up a weekly ARG report on my blog, each week I'm getting a different guest writer in to write about a different ARG subject. I wonder if anyone would be interested in writing an article on either VA, MoA, OoO or all three games?
If anyone is interested could you post in the thread linked in my signature, PM me, or send me an email at will.r.knightSPLATgmail.com.
Id really like to get this game the credit and exposure it deserves, the PM continues to provide top quality content and I believe he deserves som recognition/shameless promotion!

Ta,
Will

I've pmed Jayden
"Are you really so easily beaten by young whelps and an old man?
You have a foothold perhaps?
Well played, Sir."
and Vlad as I recall the end of "Scanners" far to clearly Smile
Questions for Jayden?
How long have you been doing this body jumping thing?
What makes you more deserving of multiple lifetimes than another?
This was all about a sodding flower?

As for the guest writer request, these are the first and only args I've played so don't think I have a very good world view. I'm also biased towards the GM as anything his mind sprouts is peculiar and interesting. Plus I don't get on well with writing at the best of times. (incidentally, I should still be writing an essay right now, oops)

If this is about the Passion Flower's effects on the brain almonds, I suspect they could be used to induce a sort of religious fear in the populous that would allow Jayden to exert social control - perhaps taking on the guise of the returning Messiah?

So much of the symbolism of the passion flower fits with the images put across in the puzzles.

So, questions: what do you plan to do with humanity?
How will you achieve this?
How could this be stopped?
How can humanity benefit, if at all, from your actions?

Man can embody truth but he cannot know it. The intellect of man is forced to choose perfection of the life, or of the work, and if it take the second must refuse a heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.

And yet, yet I was able to manipulate the understanding of this concept, something that is not tangible, and allow a great mind to become embroiled within the confines of epistemology. How?
No-one can ever fully understand the world around them, we only seek to make better, or worse, that which is our own perceptions.

My truth - ah, but that is not what was asked yet I also offer it freely. I am a man who wishes to make the world better, to narrow the experience between man and beast and to push all that lives upon this planet to something better, something beyond conceptual 'goodness' and into the future of graspable light.

Vladimir, does this satisfy you and your clan?See more

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

I, like others who wish to better humanity, seek more time. The enlightened, the prophets and those that people call messiahs, all extend their life with whatever means the universe provide them. I learned at an early age how to move my consciousness to other places. At the point of death, I realised that I had two choices. Oblivion, or to find another host. Reincarnation but choosing it rather than have it forced upon me by an external force.
My most recent transition was ill-chosen, the body and mind were/are too heavily intertwined to pursue a continual existence in peace. Yet I do not regret any action I have made to continue my existence.
Do you doubt yourself when you eat meat, knowing something has died for your continued existence? And do not off the meagre feeble excuse of veganism or vegetarianism - society is built upon others dying for our continued existence. I just do it more openly.See more

From whose perspective Vladimir?

Yours, a killer of men for the greater good, in yours and former societies?
Mine, a consumer of lives for the greater good in my own and my order's perspective?
Or those that walk amongst my mind right now, those who are two faced, triple faced, or new to the ideas of society being changed?

If you seek me to beg Vladimir, you will be sorely disappointed yet I will, if you must insist, for this to be the only way for the future to change - then yes. Please let me live.

But as I'm sure others have pointed out to you, I will continue to do as I will - unlike something from Aesop, I have no moral at the end of my tail...

Ultimately, you will have to make the choice, and as I can sense, both of us are aware that choice needs to be made soon...

Relating to the plant, and the possibility it could be LifeFlower - Have a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_of_Life. Note the mention of Vesica Piscis - The OoO symbol.

Those with questions remaining to ask Jayden could maybe ask some more specific things about this and the 15 days... My gambit of firing his What Is Truth question back at him was an attempt to see how he viewed the concept of Truth rather than to put him into a spin.

Important Edit: That Flower Of Life link looks pretty important. Seems the Vesica Piscis is the first step in a process of creation. After six days/changes it's developed into the seed of life.

After that, it can be developed into all sorts of worrying things - a tube torus which seems to be an energy vortex, the flower of life, the fruit of life - which appears to Contain the blueprint for the universe, and even the tree of life itself, as per kabbalah.

Remember all the tree images we had at the start of the ARG with Aspen? Hmmmm.

What has been decided for the fate of Genia and Stuart?
Do they still lurk in the dungeons?
As for being two faced, did I not with my picture for you show both light and dark?

What, dear Tate, in my message referred to you bar walking newly in my mind? Ah, you think I refer to you as two faced - child, your betrayal was planned from the start. Why do you think I let you and the other live at the night of the ritual?

But no, I refer to Others when I discuss the Janus and triple aspects...

As for Genia and Stuart - we have no 'dungeons' as you so kindly describe. Genia and Stuart are both well, currently staying in Salisbury I do believe. It is so plain there, but they enjoy the views...

The Salisbury Plain is a plateau in Wiltshire. Its famous as the site of Stone Henge and is a popular army training area. I'm not 100% Jayden meant that they were entirely safe by that statement.

I agree.

I understand we should have asked all our questions by now - I don't have access to the answers - could we collate them here? I feel like we are floundering a bit.

The gist of the questioning was that Jayden was nice and evasive. Early on he indicated that truth is relative and shaped by the viewpoint of the speaker. It was quite clear he was able, and happy, to answer from a viewpoint while still obfuscating uncomfortable "facts". His answers were often Rabbinical - ie - answering with another question that took the discussion to a metaphysical level. Clever sod.

I do, however, feel my previous post may contain a key and clue to what he has planned....
