I think Maban somewhat misinterpreted my line of inquiry, I don't remember being that interested in the truths as such, though I am somewhat intrigued by the 'personal consequences' since they've been brought up. What's that about?
M: The true weapon is information, knowledge.
EU: You appeared to make things clear and now things seem obfuscated. The lumen ab verum was useless anyway and the three truths are "just" some knowledge and not a "recipe" for advanced technology as previously implied?
I did not imply that at all, not from my point of view. I only "implied" that it bestowed great power, power being knowledge of course.
EU: If it is a weapon against people's modes of thought you mean, that is possibly dangerous and world ending.
Now you see why this information is protected, and the Three Truths never disseminated to Non-Illuminons.
M: Now you see why this information is protected, and the Three Truths never disseminated to Non-Illuminons.
Furthermore, If I were to tell you [the three truths], would you still remain silent under torture or death, because telling you would also mark you as a target for those whom conspire against us?
EU: A good question that I would be happy to elaborate upon.
1) I would lose all respect for you as you would not be able to keep your sworn oath. If you could not contain yourself within a U2U discussion without even being asked to reveal anything it is doubful you could defend it with your life (which just got mooted). You actually do know me pretty well as far as my attitudes but you do not know that you know me very well. I would also not wish to be told in a forum who's security could be breached where that data will have some time to sit around or be picked up in transit while routed.
2) Assuming the first condition does not apply and it is "approved", I would wish for advanced warning to consider whether or not I wish to "cross over" as there is no going back. Some of this time would be to consider a way to get permission from loved ones without really revealing anything (if I could figure out how). I would expect proper training to resist interrogation, torture and whatever else might be thrown my way as well.
3) Assuming I get past the second condition, there would be no choice but to defend it with my life as I personally do not wish to be the one who brings about armageddon. I am pretty sure I could not live with myself anyway. What is of more concern is the lives of said loved ones being used against me; the devious characters of which you speak would not hesitate to take such actions. I mean, are they really above tactics used by criminal organizations like the Mafia? For all I know, it is worse.
4) If we get here, life has a whole new angle and responsibility. I would have to move to a city where protection is available as I might as well be "in", correct?
If I forgot to consider anything, feel free to make your own addition.
Good, so you see the potential pitfalls. Hopefully if KT asks again for me to reveal them, you could enlighten her for me.

Thank you, but Auto-erotic Asphyxiation is not in my repertoire.

Do you think it's possible to 'wake up' and then get dragged down into the drudgeries of everyday life and 'fall back asleep'?
Or do you think once you 'get it' you always have it?

1) Maban is alive and sends his greetings.

2) The thread became a hoax around the time of his last disappearance. I am trying to find out exactly where it stopped being Maban and started being the hoaxers.

5) My identity challenge leads me to believe this individual is the actual 'Maban' that started this thread. I questioned him in several phases, becoming more and more specific and I am satisfied with his answers. I think he realizes that it will require much more scrutiny by all of you before we can be satisfied with his explanations.

8) There are coincidences that still need to be explained by Maban.
9) I am not ready to make an opinion on whether anything Maban originally said is true. That will take some time.
10) I think a lot of us have a lot of questions for him and I am trying to figure out a way to do that.

As I understand it - more than "two" had been registered to Maban's account - if that was three - it would be him, Tenzin and the last guy (forgot his name)...

I'm kind of surprised anyone thinks Maban might still be what he claims - a shard of the illuminati rather than someone playing head games.

The only logical and safe escape is to say that anything after October 2008 was an imposter that broke into the Maban account, that is if the one accessing it up to that time maps to another individual. Instead trying to claim he simply overlooked Tenzin just won't hold up to scrutiny; I think it failed that already.

It was the 'real' Maban that came back in December and then chose the three people for the message. After the third person was picked is when I think the whole thing went hoax.
I will see if I can get some more info from Maban.
