WHO is writing this Dec 6th JE??

Hmmmm....this birdy thinks maybe it is NOT the Rev. who is writing this. Anyone else?
Maybe it is Mike?? Or is Rev. speaking of himself in the third person? or is it a Twisted Evil ?
Lots of directions , and centered words, an A in the middle of the long like of X's, and all kinds of weird spooky stuff. Yikes! Did anyone else look over their shoulder when reading it? ( Who Me? Oh, no, of course not!)
I'm going to bed ! Too much to figure out right now, and I'm getting he creeps!
Looking forward to others' opinions and specs. on this bizarre entry.

Okay, what we need is someone who is good with directions...lol

I see the direction "move up and to the right".

If you look at the second instance of "i will" and then look at the next paragraph which begins "not belabor the obvious", you can take that next paragraph, move it up and to the right and it makes sense as "i will not belabor the obvious..."

The "direction" quoted above is a similar move. Look at the line that says "hinges on every move" , the next paragraph starts "up and to the right and the lock has to be broken...". Move the second part up and to the right and you get the phrase "move up and to the right".

This part:

what
what
what
wha
wh
w


....is again sort of reading up and to the right. And the text that comes immediately after that is "there it is again" possibly telling us that the "what" list is a second hint at up and to the right.

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

The part that says:

look behind you now

i'm not kidding

if you didn't see it you weren't looking closely enough

look again


...which follows immediately after the list of things/cities, leads me to believe there's something important contained in the text prior to it.

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


"i walked over to the wagon and looked at it, two wheels left, one fallen down, the other simply gone."

Again...possible directions...two left, one down.

The single line "tow in" could mean town if you move the last letter two left and then move the i down. I know it's a stretch, and I'm probably working it backwards (if at all...lol). But to have a line simply say "tow in" seems off to me.

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

There is a capital A amidst all the X's down the left hand side.

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

The journal entry mentions the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end alot....more directions?

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

The brooch is being touted as the KEY to the entrance of the father's journey.

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

....and if jesus spots it you can be sure that there is some validity to it, the only question is one of understanding and recognition and even now, the facts and the truth, the forest and the trees, eyes and EYES can still be confusing."

I find the use of "spots it" an odd choice (But that's JMO). I think the passage is telling us we need to spot something, and it's like not seeing the forest for the trees.

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

I'm still unsure of who is talking in this entry. It seems like it's not the Rev to me.

"the brooch was left in pure sight, (why not plain sight?) ready for the fathers next appearance and once he saw it, he cried out for the 'red sign' and then was overwhelmed and i started carrying him...."

"i returned to my spot and the librarian noticed i was back."

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

"hello, i said, and the librarian said,

'what you have written cannot be allowed to stand. it will erase when he awakens, for he is not yet ready for this part of his story.'

'how long until that happens?' i asked, knowing his army would want to know.

'none can say,' the librarian replied, 'except you.'

and i realized that the truth was not what i was ready for either."


Is it Mike....are WE the Rev's army....will noahboddy delete this journal entry?

Who knows? Not me...methinks I'm more confused than ever!

Oh one last thought......a lot of the stuff in the list (where the city names are) had me thinking about The Human Genome Project, done at the National Institute of Health (and Energy...I think).

a place of learning (university...or once was)
scribe (transcriber of the data)
a time of times past, the record of us all (DNA)
near the spaces of the lines to read between (sequencing)
under the stairs in the cracks of the soul (the double helix sort of resembles a spiral staircase...lol)
