(# johnny cash: The man comes around)
# There's a man going round taking names

# and he decides who to free

- 'these shelters have been compromised.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimoire

Grimoire

A grimoire is a textbook of magic. Such books typically include instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination and also how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, and demons. In many cases the books themselves are also believed to be imbued with magical powers, though in many cultures other sacred texts that are not grimoires, such as the Bible and Qur'an, have also been believed to intrinsically have magical properties; in this manner whilst all books on magic could be thought of as grimoires, not all magical books could.

Whilst the term grimoire is originally European, and many Europeans throughout history, particularly ceremonial magicians and cunning folk, have made use of grimoires, the historian Owen Davies noted that similar such books can be found all across the world, ranging from Jamaica to Sumatra, and he also noted that the first such grimoires could be found not in Europe but in the Ancient Near East.

It is most commonly believed that the term grimoire originated from the Old French word grammaire, which had initially been used to refer to all books written in Latin. By the 18th century, the term had gained its now commonly used usage in France, and had begun to be used to refer purely to books of magic, which Owen Davies presumed was because "many of them continued to circulate in Latin manuscripts." However, the term grimoire also later developed into a figure of speech indicating something that was hard or even impossible to understand amongst the French. It was only in the 19th century, with the increasing interest in occultism amongst the British following the publication of Francis Barrett's The Magus (1801), that the term entered the English language in reference to books of magic.

PINK FLOYD LYRICS

"Time"


Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field, tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
And hear the softly spoken magic spell

Sphere


2:01:34
I'm not following you.

2:01:36
Because we have the power. . .

2:01:39
. . .to forget.

2:01:43
To forget.

2:01:45
You want us to agree to forget?

2:01:47
Wait a minute, are we sure
that we want to do this?

2:01:51
Yes.

2:01:55
This is the greatest discovery
in the history of mankind.

2:01:57
We're just going to white it out
like it's a typing error?

2:02:01
I'm sure.

2:02:05
What about you, Beth?

2:02:07
What's the matter, Norman?

2:02:09
It's a little hard to let go of.

2:02:11
Something that could've been. . .

2:02:14
. . .this gift?

2:02:15
The power to make your dreams
come true.

2:02:18
We're given the greatest gift
in the history of mankind.

2:02:21
We're given this magic ball.

2:02:23
And it says...

2:02:24
"Imagine what you will
and you can have it. "

2:02:30
That's an extraordinary gift,
but we're so primitive we. . . .

2:02:35
We manifested the worst in us,
because what we have inside us. . .

2:02:39
. . .is what we have inside of us, instead
of the best of us. What does that say?

Subject: Re: ABCs Lost Numbers


1854 miles is the distance from the Lottery/GPS numbers to the map center of the town of Mokuleia, which is where they are filming the series Lost. 1854 miles is also the distance from those Lottery/GPS numbers to the first place I stayed when I moved to Bellevue in 1998 to work for Microsoft. I wonder if my flight number from Charlotte to Seattle was 815?

I figure that the Hurley's lottery numbers correspond to GPS coordinates of 48.15 and 162.342. I matched those coordinates to roughly the area around the Space Needle and the beach in Oahu where they are filming the series. The Lottery/GPS coordinates form a point on a triangle located in the Pacific near Alaska.

I remember thinking something was amiss when I was near the Space Needle to run the Seattle Marathon in 2003.


Also, it looks like they started filming the series on the Monday following the March 18 date on this article:
