Filia Scientis

Pythias

Delphic Tripod

Uh, I just realized all this should've gone on the "Jnineteen (Jay 19) MySpace" thread. I think I'll wait for Trainer or another mod to move these posts there, and if it doesn't happen then I'll post redundantly... I suppose everything from here on?

Filia scientis = "daughter of the science"?
Pythias = priestess of Apollo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythia)
Delphic Tripod = altar where the priestess sits to deliver the oracles of a god (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificial_tripod)

So Jay is making the allusion that the OpA symbol is that of the Delphic Tripod?

I kind of like how Jay is trying to tie in the chemistry aspect of FacilityJ in with the OpAphid kind of stuff. All of this stuff with the symbol having aspects of Apollo, who was the "archer-god of medicine and healing, light, truth, archery and also a bringer of death-dealing plague." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo)

He may be a gamejacker, but this guy is definitely trying to tie the FacilityJ stuff up in a nice pretty bow!

Now if he could only come up with a decent video...

Excellent!

OOG, I like the idea of the gamejack introducing a new character, hopefully this means that if Walter ever returns, there won't be too much divergence between the two games.

heh all I knew when I looked at it was "star" had to be important, for absolutely no reason other then it stuck out to me.

Deagol thanks for answering my questions and not thinking they were stupid, I see what you were getting at now.

Great work ALL of you!

and I agree, trainer, or someone could you move all the myspace stuff into the myspace thread?

The Daughter of Science... although I think "cognizant daughter" would be the accurate translation, which of course is a good description of the seer Pythia.

Now, looks like this priestess had very special qualities. Bree? Ceremony-girls? And there's quite a lot of research about the reported and theorized risks to her life, a strong indication of drug induced hallucinations (ethylene).

Ok, so Op is the sacrificial tripod, oooh scary... but, ceremony-girl sits on top of Op, haha, makes me think of a toilet lol; HoO is the Mirror-of-Galadriel-like little plate with the tea-leaves-reading hocus pocus, (indeed a possible "front" or cover for what's really going on, HoO being responsible for ritualizing, mythicizing, and theologizing a mere psyche-trip). I would place Crowley and Thelema in the same category. They still may need something really special about the candidate girls. It all seems like a nice tie-in of a lot of the LG loose ends.

But I still don't see the specific way in which FacilityJ and genetics are related. Why is Jay explaining away LG's plot holes? I hope he can eventually relate all this greek stuff with the vials, the J19, the vector, the cure, Walter and TJ's disappearance, etc.

More loose ends: what's with the alchemy stuff, the Athanor and The Work? I know that a lot of the techniques in chemistry came from alchemy, and some of the more out-there ideas have been applied in modern psychology, but to me most of that is an impenetrable mangle of "front-like," HoO-pushed cover-up material on top of some ideas that might involve real "inconvenient tuths", or even practical knowledge.

The other missing link, how is SIRS relevant to all this? Being the only public item in his myspace, I would expect it to have some relation to the Pythia/Alchemy subjects.

"Who I'd like to meet:
Those who understand that man is at once the Prime Matter and the Athanor of The Work"

Prime Matter

"Prime matter constituting a formless substratum of all things, which exists only potentially and from which reality is produced."

The Work (otherwise known as The Great Work)

"The Great Work (Latin: Magnum opus), is a term which originated in medieval European alchemy which refers to the successful completion of the transmutation of base matter into gold or the creation of the philosopher's stone. It has subsequently been used as a metaphor for spiritual transformation in the Hermetic tradition and in Thelema."

The Athanor.

"In alchemy, an athanor is a furnace used to provide heat for alchemical digestion. An athanor is a self-feeding furnace, designed to maintain a uniform temperature."

So, by what he is saying, I'm thinking he means "We [man] are only so useful in the work of something much bigger".

But I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?
