Justin said that the book is a memoir to get to know him. I have been trying to know the answer to this question: did he have the treasure hidden spot picked first then built the poem/clues/mechanics later to fit the spot or the other way around?

I believed it would make a big difference for us to confirm whether we are in the kitchen area.

If spot was picked first, then the area would be full of lord and significance. Otherwise, it might just be a “normal” wilderness feel.

It would be difficult, if not impossible, to have a place that fits both scenarios. Having these thoughts in mind, I would not be dictating my “final place” to what my solve derived - I would look around to find something special to pinpoint the starting point of “manipulation.”

Perhaps this is why Justin said that we have to be BOTG for stanza four - to find the checkpoint or the double arcs on granite bold!

Justin eliminated two clock times 4:2 PM and 5:26 AM or PM. Did it mean the they’re not relevant to the cipher only or to the solve too? Did it mean that the time 4:02/03, which he manually turned to, is off?

Anyone?

I found that I and E are both “live”in Live and Time. I thought they might mean something.

Perhaps we would measure rhythms for each I’s and E’s in the poem?

I noticed there are many rhythms:

Sight - Right, Bright - Flight, Minds - Finds; Hole - Pole, Race- Space; and there are the O’s: Hole - Pole, Bold - Hold, Flow - Know.

How to go on from here? My clever mind stops there.

Thoughts?
