I just received an email from the Curator as I am sure you all did as well that may give us a hint as to how to proceed...
I attached the full letter here so you don't need to pull it up separately, and I wish I had more time at present to see if there is a hidden message about how to proceed or not, but alas the world moves along and work is calling.
Maybe you all have time to give this a closer look... maybe it is another rabbit hole...
On more than one occasion (through significance where likely none had been intended) I have perceived obscure messages that demand interpretation. A benign advertisement may become awash with new meaning when placed alongside an editorial. Occasionally, when overhearing the conversations of others, two disparate discussions congeal into something altogether more interesting: “I am assured… of the secret to living…”
Innocent enquiries regarding finance or health may together become a greater riddle to be solved. Perhaps such whimsical interpretations distinguish between those who perceive the hidden messages of the universe, and those who struggle to see what is clearly in front of them.
As children, we had no difficulty believing that all the world conspired to send us personal messages. A truly perplexing and wondrous thing has the ability to make us feel as giddy as we were in our confident youths.
How can one perceive the signs of a true riddle unless one views the world as a multi-faceted puzzle waiting to be solved? One may find a path to buried treasure where seemingly nothing lies, or better yet, a new perspective on life’s routine. Admittedly, a bird chirping in what sounds like morse code may not be singing any secret messages, but only a person that endeavours to listen would know for sure.
Of course, certain sources are far more deliberate in their attempts to convey hidden knowledge than others. Case in point: our quarterly Curios and Conundrums broadsheet.
Ah, perhaps my own subconscious was imploring me to segue, as my coterie has recently informed me that now is an ideal time to subscribe. You may secure a copy of the second issue of our third volume as well as the assorted ephemera. If you do not possess the first issue of the volume, there will be a system in place shortly to facilitate its acquisition, allowing you to follow the story and decipher the clues.
To continue our wanderings on the paths of buried and hidden, The Century Beast has completed its first week of public distribution; clearly, our members are quite curious about the experience, our most elaborate and complex to date. It is a truly unique gift, entirely suitable for any loved one who wants for nothing, providing a narrative experience like no other.
As we conclude our meander, I offer you this: what can change its skin yet remain the same, what can change its look and by doing so improve, and what cannot improve so long as it remains the same? A seemingly utterly perplexing riddle, indeed. I am certain that in time you will arrive upon the solution.
As always, I am honoured to count you among our membership, and remain ever available should you have any questions, comments or criticisms. You may always contact me by email at anytime, and I shall respond posthaste.
Your servant,
The Curator
On second glance the phrases that stands out to me is, "A benign advertisement may become awash with new meaning when placed alongside an editorial." and "Innocent enquiries regarding finance or health may together become a greater riddle to be solved."
I am investigating the advertisements and personal notes (perhaps) in the paper with a new eye, maybe something will stand out.
