@endlesspictures Very sad to not be joining you, I have not been to the Castle in quite a while!

@mike I did not even consider the possibility of The Sentinel. Hmmmmm…

@belgianbutcher Try this… look at the drop down menu that appears when you select your name at top of the page. The top selection should be “Profile.” Select that and your main profile should appear. On that page, look at the white bar area below the word “Notifications.”

The option should be “Change Profile Photo.” You click that and it should bring up an area where you can drag-and-drop you picture of choice.
Hope that helps!

@belgianbutcher No worries! I am not sure on the WordPress issues… you’re talking over my head, a bit, haha! 😉 These forums are a bit free-form in nature. If you do a little poking around, even within this actual thread, you can probably find some hints if it does not become apparent to you… but you obviously found a part of the answer… the rest is right there waiting for you. You got this.

@belgianbutcher Welcome to the fun! I want to jump in because I had a slight tech issue around the area where you are searching for your next step.

It is very observant of you to notice what you have noticed on the eye chart and I think it is clear you are heading down the right path. Obviously, you just need the information to take the next step. In this particular case, overthinking it will stump, you for sure. If you have what you have, I might suggest simply asking, “What comes next?”

My tech issue was this… the browser I was using did not respond to the answer. The page previous to the puzzle you are working on did not function or load properly in Safari, at all. So, I started switching between two browsers and found things that functioned in one were glitchy in the other. You may want to duplicate what you do in one browser in a second browser… just for the next step or two. (I think one or two other people also had this issue, it may have been mentioned in a different thread, if I recall correctly.) I hope that helps… and does not add to any confusion!! Haha!

Good luck… you are very close!

@mike Thank you for such a detailed breakdown, awesome job!!!

[RustyParticipant]

@mike Pfffft. You’d think if we were really joined at the skull, metaphorically or otherwise, you’d understand better that my emotional nature is usually correct about matters we discuss more often than your sensible / logical nature. Just sayin’ Hahaha!!!

Honored, humbled and excited our discussions were quoted in the video!!!

All my calls were from blocked numbers. Some people had their times shifted twice… mine only shifted once the day of the event. After I got the call to show up a bit later and was walking toward the address, I noticed I had gotten an email from OOA with no subject line. It simply apologized for the schedule change.

[RustyParticipant]

@electrichippo Glad you had that sensation right before the hood came off, that’s awesome!!

I had a couple of minutes with that person right after the elevator. It began with someone very intimately putting there head against mine and pushing into me… almost knocking me off balance, I think, then the grabs and holds became aggressive and intimidating.
To be honest, it was actually thrilling for me to put my trust in them and have that happen, it was a very healthy leap of faith for me, if that makes any sense!

@sovereignskies I have not been told specifically to keep things to myself, but I admit I have not revealed all details of my various encounters or emails because there have been a couple of things that were definitely aimed at me on a very personal level. (Including some personal touches which I am still am unclear as to how they have learned may be effective with me.) I am holding back a little, but not much. It’s just a personal choice.

But, really good question!!!

[RustyParticipant]

@electrichippo and @kingkill33 Near the very end as I started to hear whispering, I could not hear what was being said… I reached up and tried to adjust my hood upward to hopefully hear more clearly. The female voice immediately said “Don’t do that! They are watching us! They watch everything!!” I was NOT trying to be disruptive, but she clearly knew she had to keep me moving forward. I doubt any exploration would have been allowed. I simply whispered “Barely” and she spoke up a bit, gave me the cryptic warning and moved me onward.

@rizzzoooooo I do not recall hearing the “you’re not special” dialogue.

I do not recall any noise that might have been a church service… but I was very distracted. After I was led out of the elevator I was left alone for a few minutes. (Was I so completely nervous that I did not hear anything at all? I am not sure.) During that time, several loud noises startled me. Then someone stood very, very close to me. He firmly pinioned my arms to my sides, letting me know that he was in control. He suddenly pushed me toward the mirror area. With out revealing everything, I will say that the physical nature of that encounter did hold personal significance to me. It was a very positive emotional moment for me. I am curious if anyone else had a similar moment outside the elevator.

Congratulations @mike I firmly believe they have chosen well. You have provided insight and encouragement to me as I travel my path toward… wherever this is all leading. (By the way, I did have the man questioning me and the woman whispering at the end.)

And, yes, I agree with your final statement. I keep thinking about some comment early on… which I do not even recall where it appeared… that each participant will travel their own individual path.

[RustyParticipant]

@mkarrett I do not think your reactions are unreasonable in any way. I had a similar reaction to my initial consultation. (If you have invited me to participate in a journey toward enlightenment, why are you insulting me and telling me I am not worthy of the journey you have offered to me? It does have a very odd feeling of disrespect to it. If they are trying to “shock” us out of our bland daily existence, it is a tactic that may not work on all participants.)

At yesterday’s meeting, an aspect of the encounter made me uncomfortable and I was given the chance to state that fact. Without divulging specifics, I will say that I have since been informed that my honesty was… appreciated.

I agree, Talia was a very warm, welcoming figure who sensed my nervousness and did her best to put me at ease. I appreciate her being there.

[RustyParticipant]

@rizzzoooooo Yeah, that would definitely apply pressure! It sounds like you had a fairly intense round of questioning.

[RustyParticipant]

@thegilded It is interesting that each of us who got a specific message was given a different phrase in the audio. I am definitely excited, but unsure what knowledge I am expected to have. I do hope they help me discover the exact nature of … something they have pointed to in private. Also, they indicate I may need to perform a specific act. I wonder if that will play a part in my meeting today.
Above all, I go in with a sense of wonder and curiosity and hope that I am able to succeed at any task they may request.
My best to everyone on today’s journey!!!
