Hey Guys
Uh, first of all I just wanted to thank everybody so much
for standing with me last week when we were so rudely
interrupted. Um, I received a lot of
really wonderful emails from a lot of you, and i cant possibly mention
everybody
which is great, um, so I apologise, but I would like to
mention uh, Matt, Julio,
Daniel, Chris, Eduardo,
Travis, JoJo, Hugo, Vincent,
and JT. Um, your
emails were very well received and I appreciate very much.
Um, so some of you also asked if I was working on-
or if there was a more secure line to contact me on, and
yes, we are definitely working on that, um,
so, we're working on upgrading we will be doing that very soon
in the future, so stay tuned for that. Um, and I have some emails here
that I wanted to answer for you guys.
First the all though, I would like to mention
Daniel R, who has been crushing
the challenges recently, um, just a little tip my hat to you, Daniel,
you've been doing a phenomenal job. Please keep up the good work!
Okay! Now on to the emails:
The first one I have is from Will, he says,"Hi Stella,
"I have so many questions about the lines, about what's going on, about the
"direction you're taking us,
"and so many questions about you. I'm sure they will all be answered in due course
"I'm a very patient person and I have a lot of time. What I would like to know is
"this:
"Are you a descendant of one of the Lines?"
Well Will, everyone is a descendant
of one of the Lines, or more likely
many up the Lines.
Your genetics have actually no part in which Line
you are most aligned with, its actually your choice,
so your race, creed, nationality has
nothing to do with which Line you choose to be
a part of. So I want everybody to connect themselves with
a Line that they feel is most like their family
or like the family they always wanted to have, so
there you go...
The next one is from
yankee: "I read the comments Jake
included with Killer Mockingbird. Is this
"bulletproof penthouse" where you shoot your videos?
Is it really bulletproof? Are you in danger?"
Yes, Jake referred to
my place as the "bulletproof penthouse" probably because of the
security and bulletproof windows.
So yes, it's in, um....the lyrics of this song
Killer Mockingbird, and yes I think the world has proven that I am in
a certain amount of danger, much like
a lot of other people I am. So I'm in good company
I guess.
The next one I have is from
Ione, who actually sent me a beautiful note
about a recent trip she's taking to Sri Lanka
and she told me a little bit about the history which was amazing. I knew a little bit
but she taught me some more, which was great!
Um, and the current state of affairs there just seems
pretty awful, but I love that you're going there Ione,
I just wanted to say hello, thank you so much for the note
and I hope you get this, um, when you get back
so I hope you have a lovely trip. I can't wait to hear all about it!
She also said one more thing which I wanted to share with you all:
"On a more cheerful note, because you liked the binary joke:
"What do you call two crows on a branch?
Attempted murder." If you don't understand
that joke, which I totally do, you should look it up, 'cause it's amazing. The next one she told me was
(clears throat) Sodium sodium sodium sodium sodium sodium sodium sodium
Batman!
So Ione, you have given me (laughs)
a treasure chest of gold here, and I appreciate it.
I can't wait to talk to you when you get back from your trip. Thank you so much!
I needed that laugh...
My next email is from Chris, who after some very lovely compliments
says, "I'm probably one of
"your quieter students, but I've been following you since near the beginning
"of this journey, and enjoy the challenges
"you post. Unfortunately a recent family loss has forced me to step away from the
"search for the truth and doing the challenges for a bit.
"I hope to be able to catch up on the homework soon, but if not I understand
"they are a small part of the search, and I will still continue to fallow you
"ardently." Chris I'm really sorry for your loss,
my heart is with you, I certainly know what it's like to lose somebody
so,please take all the time that you need.
And I know that we all stand with you as well, so...
I think you have a really good perspective on what the Truth is, and I just
want to reiterate that there is no homework. You don't have to worry about
anything or catching up just do as much as you can,
do as much as you want, and we will be here when you get back.
We're not going anywhere, trust me.
My next email is from Zack,
who says:
"The Truth is...these puzzles have been puzzling,
"(joke intended). Figured it might lighten your mood."
Clearly it did, well done. "After scouring the Internet for hours on end to solve
"your challenges to the point of my first all-nighter
"followed by my second, I started a small group at my little high school
"of oddballs, and as a group, it took a half hour to solve the
"Listen challenge, the challenge that took both my all-nighters to get close to
"solving.
"Long story short, we humans tend to work better as a team,
"at least in my experience as a 17-year-old, and
"I hope my team" - wait - "and that my team and I
"am on your team. If you need help, we will try to help.
"one Spartan would not have been a problem at
"Thermopylae. Many came to know what The 300 did. Imagine three thousand. Let me and my
"team help make your phalanx
"strong." Zack, first of all,
you're amazing! Thank you for that reference at the end, that was wonderful!
But please don't put too many all-nighters,
um, it is actually scientifically proven that sleep helps a lot with thinking.
So, I would like to encourage that you get
a good amount of sleep, but thank you I appreciate it!
Your initiative is inspiring and,
and wonderful, so keep up the good work, but get plenty of sleep while doing it!
Thank you, Zack!
The next I have is from Vincent, who says, "I have come to the conclusion that
"I wish to represent
Aksumite." Wonderful! "My way is
"always to seek the Truth with logic and patience rather than to blast into the
"battle with guns blazing.
"The Aksumite people seem to value care respect and dignity
above all else." You are absolutely right, Vincent.
"I humbly submit myself for your consideration."
Interesting! Firstly Vincent, I would like to say
that I apologize for being behind on my emails, I know you sent this to me a little while
ago...
and I've just been busy, so
I apologize. I would also like to recognize that you are one of our most
impressive members,
and you have recruited more people than anybody,
so congratulations and thank you
so so much, Vincent, you are doing a wonderful job.
Ultimately the leadership of each line will not be up to me,
but I can't imagine that
the Aksumites could get any better than you, Vincent.
So keep on keepin' on, you're doing a great job.
We'll be in touch very soon.
This next email
is from Daniel M, and this is one of the most thoughtful
messages I have received yet, and it's
incredibly insightful, so I want to read a bit of it to you guys,
because I think it could be beneficial for all of us.
Daniel asks some really amazing questions,
so here we go. He says:
"You mentioned in PTSD that the agrarian society was inherently stratified
"and began our downfall. Do we have evidence
"though, that hunter-gatherer societies didn't have their own stratification?"
Yes, there is actually plenty of archaeological evidence
of that, and we have a good idea of what their lifestyle was like
on-the-record so, I will actually be posting more
of that soon...
and then he says, "It seems inherent to humanity to claim haves and have-nots
"whether that be defined by strength, wealth, or loyal followers."
I will say that at this time
its - it doesn't mean that there is no inequality
whatsoever within the tribes or families. As you say,
they were human. However, it is clear to us that there was no systematic
subjugation
of any group at that time, it wasn't until the agrarian system was put in
place.
Also, specifically, there is no evidence
that the required anything other than nature and themselves to justify their
own
existence. He then goes on to say,
"You talk of priesthood as a tool for repression, it seems, in the same video.
"While I know that spiritual authority has and continues to be abused in various
settings, does this define your view of religion in general?"
No, absolutely not. I can -
do not contend that religion is, in general, inherently
abusive by nature at all. Each of the 12 Lines actually had spiritual
beliefs,
so no, I don't think that about religion across-the-board
at all. He then says, "I can speak to much good people of faith have done over the
"millennia,
"and we argue that those who abuse said authority in process denied the faith
"they profess."
This I would agree with,
because when I speak, Daniel, about the abuse of these powers, I do talk about
religion,
economics, politics, social divisions, and alot of other
human constructs that have been abused by people, and used to subjugate people
over the millennia, that has led to a lot of corruption.
So, I would like to say, Daniel, that I know you're a pastor
and I respect that greatly. I think we can all learn a lot from you,
and if you would be willing to share more, I would love to hear it.
So I will be in contact with you soon.
I can tell that you have a very open heart, and open mind. Just exactly what we
need here, so
thank you again for this email, Daniel. It was amazing.
Okay guys,
that's all the time I have for this week, but I will definitely be talking to you
soon
and I can't wait, per usual. OK. Bye, guys...
