 		Well in his CV . . .
In his CV he refers to 4 articles on Paranormal Resaerch Journal

Waking the Witch: Visualization Techniques in Sleep Paralysis, Paranormal Research Journal, vol 2 number 4, 2003

Psychiatrist as Shaman, Paranormal Research Journal, vol 1 number 4, 2002

Meditation for Madness, Paranormal Research Journal, vol 1 number 3, 2002

Phantoms in Therapy: A Review of Phantoms in Psychiatric Disorder, Paranormal Research Journal, vol 1 number 1, 2002

The first we have seen, it is: http://www.paranormaljournal.org/vol2_4.html#1

Maybe the others are ther as well. Maybe give us some more clues.

I tried:
http://www.paranormaljournal.org/vol1_4.html
http://www.paranormaljournal.org/vol1_3.html
http://www.paranormaljournal.org/vol1_1.html

But theres nothing there . . . Sad[/i]

 		good try - don't know if we should use our efforts to find the other 3 articles.

Phillip seems to say that he has only publish Leo's article due to political pressures, and he does not trust the guy... on the other side, Beth in her response talks about a "repeat of the plagues"...ummm? did anyone find any reference to the plagues in her archives?

Yes, well-noted, but that's not exactly relevant to this topic.

"In this article, I present the results of a ground-breaking study conducted using the techniques of a recognized visualization expert." -Must be Wongmo.

 		Does the phenomenon Kane describes in his Paranormal Journal article sound a bit like someone being taken over by an Agent?

 		I wanted to compile a list of all the quotes on Dr Leo Kane's website, especially since some appear once in a blue moon. There's just so many of them!

I'll start:

-------------

The carpet pattern never changes; only our perception of the pattern does.
- Wongmo

Living on isolated islands, we cherish out diversities. For we have come from many places and in many different ways to this enormous yet intimate chamber of summer….These are islands of the gentlest invasions. And somehow the closer we live to each other, the more space we all seem to have, the more we are enlarged. Celebrate that.
- Gavan Daws and Ed Sheehan

The glass is half empty, some say. Others say the glass is half full. I say the glass is Love.
- Wongmo

In what other land save this one is the commonest form of greeting not "Good day," nor "How d'ye do", but "Love"? That greeting is 'Aloha': love, I love you, my love to you... It is a positive affirmation of the warmth of one's own heart-giving.
- Jack London

Aloha is my religion. I practice it every day.
- Pilahi Paki

Truly knowing yourself requires a full-length mirror.
- Wongmo

The state of aloha can be created in an instant. It is a decision to behave with kindness, with generosity, wanting to give joy to another.
- Irmgard Farden Aluli

Though the air is so soft and the sky so blue, you have, I know not why, a feeling of something hotly passionate that beats like a throbbing pulse through the crowd. Though the native policeman ... gives the scene an air of respectability, you cannot but feel that it is a respectability only of the surface: a little below there is a darkness and mystery.
- W. Somerset Maugham

Go out as far as you want. Never be afraid in the water.
- Julia Kahanamoku

A sight of the volcano fills the mind with awe…The strongest man is unstrung, the most courageous heart is daunted in approaching this place.
- David Douglas

I dream of a place where sunlight heals the tired spirit, far from the things I am used to, where cleansing waters float away my cares and fragrant trade winds and waterfall spray caress my skin and carry the years away.
-Go Hawaii

The spirit of these Islands comes from the people. People who are unselfish and radiate joy, they are full of the spirit of Hawai'i.
- Monsignor Charles Kekumano
-----
Any others?

 		There are references to as well water and islands as policemen. Maybe Kane's quotes are leads for passwords?

Water - Aquapolis
Policeman - pic on Paintover.net
Island - Huxley, who wrote Brave New World also wrote "Island".
Jack London - A reference to the 9 oct pic (Congrats) on Paintover (John Lennons birthday)? Lennon-Beatle-London?

This is messing me up. Badly.

 		The Beatles are from Liverpool..

OK theorizing here..

The mention of mirrors leads me to believe that we need to look a picture some where in a mirror.. Possibly a picture that has the theme of love?

here's where I'm coming from:
The carpet pattern never changes; only our perception of the pattern does.
- Wongmo

we need to change out perception..
Then there's the mention of the mirror...
Theren there's multiple mentions of love and water..
A picture on the aquapolis site that has a "love"theme?

Just a thought.. thinking out loud.. gonna go take a look now..

 		meaning in Leo Kane
Just wanted to point out the meaning in the name Leo Kane. In Hawaiian (from what I can tell from online dictionaries), Kane means Man, and Leo apparently means voice. Literally, Leo Kane translates as bass (as in music), but more likely in the context of the game it means Voice of Man.

Especially interesting considering that he sat on "The Society for Social Responsibility in Science, Medicine and Technological Research"

 		The REAL Leokane
Or actually I should say: Leokane Pryor.

Even though his website here is not part of the game, there's too many similarities for this too be a coincidence. My theory is that this is like Beth's Evanescence thing. Maybe Dr. Leo Kane or Wongmo or someone has a password that's related to Leokane Pryor (come on folks, this musician says aloha on his homepage).

Again, I'm probably really grasping for straws with this one, but hey I missed lunch. Throw me a bone.

EDIT: I did not read aegir's post to see Leo Kane's connection with Hawaiin culture. I'd still look into this website though.

That sounds plausible. But when I read that, the first thing I thought of was people waking up inside thier pods. There are a few short stories about that on the official site. These people wake up and see themselves in a pod, but then somehow they return to their "sleep state", i.e. the matrix reality. As a matter of fact, in "A path among stones", a little girl is seen by 2 psychiatrists for having recurring "hallucinations" about not being able to get from underwater or something. The names of the doctors are Dr. Frey and Dr. AVERY.

In "Deja Vu", a woman has "nightmares" about finding herself laying in a pod; "she's lying down paralyzed amid humming and clicking machines." The comic shows quite the same scenary that Neo saw.

 		Definitely some sort of connection here...
Okay everyone. I'm rating this a 9 out 10 on things most likely to have a connection with Metacortex.

One of the quotes from Leo Kane's page:

"Though the air is so soft and the sky so blue, you have, I know not why, a feeling of something hotly passionate that beats like a throbbing pulse through the crowd. Though the native policeman ... gives the scene an air of respectability, you cannot but feel that it is a respectability only of the surface: a little below there is a darkness and mystery."
- W. Somerset Maugham

I went online to search for Maugham. He is a well known author. One of his books caught my attention. It's called Of Human Bondage and interestingly enough the main character is a man named Philip. There is a summary below. But I might suggest scanning the text to see if this quote is found in this book. I'm doing this now, of course I may have missed something. I'm only on chapter 6 (out of 122 chapters, so yes it's quite a read, but the chapters are only 2-3 pages long). You can read the book in full here at Bibliomania

This is my first search on the names quoted on Leo Kane's page. So if nothing is found in Of Human Bondage there's always the 9 or 10 other names quoted by Leo Kane. But I do think "Of Human Bondage" deserves looking into. Here's a summary.

"'It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham,' wrote Gore Vidal. 'He was always so entirely there.' Originally published in 1915, Of Human Bondage is a potent expression of the power of sexual obsession and of modern man's yearning for freedom. This classic bildungsroman tells the story of Philip Carey, a sensitive boy born with a clubfoot who is orphaned and raised by a religious aunt and uncle. Philip yearns for adventure, and at eighteen leaves home, eventually pursuing a career as an artist in Paris. When he returns to London to study medicine, he meets the androgynous but alluring Mildred and begins a doomed love affair that will change the course of his life. There is no more powerful story of sexual infatuation, of human longing for connection and freedom.
'Here is a novel of the utmost importance,' wrote Theodore Dreiser on publication. 'It is a beacon of light by which the wanderer may be guided. . . . One feels as though one were sitting before a splendid Shiraz of priceless texture and intricate weave, admiring, feeling, responding sensually to its colors and tones.' With an Introduction by Gore Vidal Commentary by Theodore Dreiser and Graham Greene."

 		yeah, Leokane Pryor on leokane.com is almost the same sort of guy as our Wongmo, but this one seemed real - you can buy his new "maunahele" CD almost everywhere on the net...
