It was the most renowned and respected shrine in the Roman Empire, the object of veneration by Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Octavian, Caligula, Hadrian, Severus, Caracalla and a host of other luminaries. It stood for centuries within a sacred precinct the size of a large town at the heart of the greatest Greek city in the world. Yet at the end of the 4th century AD, when the Christian emperor Theodosius outlawed paganism, it disappeared without trace, creating the greatest archaeological enigma of the ancient world.
Pepper's Ghost is a reflection on a surface that also permits light from the other side of it, causing a phantasm to appear.
ReplyDeleteTo me the implication is that you are interacting with not a thing itself but its reflection on an unseen barrier.
Note also that the illusion often used a double of the entire area the viewer is meant to see.
Who said this, or more importantly in what context?
Maybe that what we are starting to understand is just a projection of the reality. A part of it. With all the projections we should be able to understand more. Like http://www.blogincytde.energynewsmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/dualidad1.png
ReplyDeleteXavi Dolz Zamora the simulacrum process of Abaddon is almost like this: we see an XM projection of a human who is elsewhere.

ReplyDeleteSmoke and mirrors have been a tactic of subterfuge for centuries.
ReplyDeleteIt means we are being lied to by someone.. Or something. #SmurfsAreStillAsleep
ReplyDeletePerhaps starting into the eyes of a simulacrum is like this, staring at something that isn't actually there.
ReplyDeleteAlso it could mean that something visible which we can see may bot actually be there. Possibly the location of Abaddon? The magnus nest might not be where we are led to believe it is
Did you mean "ghost peppers"? That's some hot stuff. Maybe that's why Hank got side-tracked to Avery Island (Home of Tabasco brand pepper sauce? )
ReplyDelete🌋👻?
ReplyDeleteThe lighting determines which image you see?
ReplyDeletePerhaps in the way we've learned that everyone who's interacted with xm has had a copy of them replicated on the other side, they are saying you are seeing yourself or someone else through their copy, bridging off Jim's comments. Context is a lot though..
ReplyDeleteIf this was said to you by Hank Johnson when you met with him maybe he was using a coded message to warn you that he wasn't totally in control of himself anymore. He could have chosen a phrase likely to be misunderstood by an intelligence that isn't well versed in human phrasing or lore...
ReplyDeleteGiven recent events, I wonder if xm isn't about influence at all so much as confusion. A control mechanism to keep us from advancing at all. Sensitives seek isolation and clarity comes when they're away from xm hot spots... But those who are always exposed to xm ... Their allegiance shifts repeatedly and there's no... Progress
ReplyDeleteYik Sheng Lee Did I misunderstand? I thought Edgar Allan Wright was meeting with Hank Johnson on the way to Oakland, so I assumed the meeting already happened...
