I’d love a page.

Anyone able to put up a transcript? I’m pretty sure there’s a separate thread for passages from the Book of Anoch. I’d suggest it go in that thread than this one.

Lots of interesting stuff to think about.

I was rewatching the vid and noticed that Tom was freaking out at certain points during the video being played. He was asking once, “What the fuck is this video?” and then when Ellis Gordon was possibly outed as an actor he began to freak out, screaming “Turn it off!”

Tom was the one who had told the video to be played. Now he’s surprised at what he saw? Did he expect something else to happen?

Anyone here who supports the BOS might as well deliver this message to Sentinel:

Release the video. Let the world hear and see it. Maybe, if you’re lucky, it’ll sway some hearts and minds towards your cause. Why not do it then, in the hopes of swelling up your ranks against the OOA?

I’m in Kansas myself and I had a personal live event happen to me.

I would recommend to be active as possible. Talk, make friends. If the OOA want to reach out to you, they’ll find a way to do so.

Can someone transcript it? @gatekeeper2 wasn’t all that clear and loud with her reading-it was tough to hear her.

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

2 things.

1, this is a wonderful gift. I had to read this poem twice this past school year and it has remained one of my favorites.
2. You have a fantastic reading voice. I’d love to hear more stuff being read by you-perhaps you should read the ‘history lesson’ from the Book of Anoch that @gatekeeper2 read yesterday?

Thank you so much for this. It has put quite a smile on my face.

Finally had time to sit down and better analyse the story we have been given plus better time to articulate my thoughts.

When reading this story, I interpreted it the creation story of Gatekeeper 1. My personal analysis of this is that Anoch, the spark that grew into a flame that then became the Light, was admitted into the heart of a person-‘the one who could see'(Could he see his _path and how it led him to that moment?). After letting the spark settle and expand, he released it once more into the world, letting it set everything ablaze. People began to bask in the knowledge of Anoch and in his power as well. Though this the darkness of the world prior to Anoch had also been forced to recede into hiding, weak as the spark Anoch had once been.

The act of the one who could see..his acceptance, to let the spark in was enough for Anoch to grow. (I read this and think to myself: Does Anoch somehow thrive on belief? The more we act in service to him, the greater he gets?)

After being consumed, the one who could see was empty, hollow, unable to feel a thing. He had used up everything he had and now he was nothing. Anoch, now no longer a flame but the Light, gave him a new name, a new face, a new life: As Gatekeeper 1.

To me this only furthers the idea that in order to become a Gatekeeper, one must willingly shove aside everything that they have and are and must work diligently towards the moment that the First Counted achieved; the moment where they let the spark that came in out. A moment that encompasses them and burns away their past until they are also nothing. Once they are nothing, they can become something.

Also important is this line: We were so close, the precipice of the great dawn.

Does this mean that this isn’t the first time the OOA has tried to reach the New Dawn? Have there been cycles, like what @addisonborn has said, of life where Humanity has been ascending to the New Dawn until something drove us back? @gatekeeper2 or @regent7, if either of you could answer this I’d appreciate it.

We received a lesson. What have we learned?

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

Thank you for all that you are doing and thank you for building a home. Tell me how I can assist you and I would be glad to help you, @gatekeeper2.

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

I have changed as a person. Not in a fundamental way, just in teeny tiny steps. Where I was once filled with despair, I exist now with that pain suppressed. Pushed back in corner where I won’t let it hurt me.

My days were slightly darker in the past. Not anymore. I’m not the person I was yesterday. And I have more faith in myself that tomorrow will be better in some way than today.

The struggle continues. It’s not over. But I’m so much happier than I even thought possible. And I owe it all to the OOA. To the Gatekeepers who taught me. And to the friends I’ve made along the way.

My _path is with Anoch. My journey is in tandem with those that walk alongside me as we move forward into the Light.

@gatekeeper2, @regent7. I stand with you. I stand with the Oracles. I stand and will remain with the OOA. I will not waver.

I want to hear the words of Anoch. Teach me. Guide me. And I will follow.

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

Hopefully so.

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

Awe thanks! Can’t wait!

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

huh. thought it was Tom’s voice, not Ellis. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

Not gonna lie, that’d be awesome.

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

On the other end, I don’t really see her as a master manipulator. Sure, she went to LA to be an actress. But if she wanted to be what she is now-@gatekeeper2-then she would have to dump her previous life and cut all ties to that old version of herself. Remake who she was to become who she had been taught she could be with the proper training. She told Four she was ready for what came next.
