This is not, as far as I can tell, a real thing. Double-breasted??

It looks like an interrupted key cipher is real (in the sense that someone came up with it, but it sounded like it was an academic exercise rather than anything that saw real-world use).

But that's not what they did here. It looks like they just used a modified Atbash cipher, except they separated the vowels and consonants:

A E I O U

B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Y Z

You can see that if you fold these lines in half, you get A = U, K = R, Z = B. Since I and N are directly in the middle of their odd-numbered lines, I = I and N = N. So RUBNIU becomes KAZNIA.

It actually feels less secure to me than the original Atbash, since you shrink the vowel search space, and you have two letters that consistently map to themselves. (Albeit, any simple substitution cipher is going to be unsecure to begin with.)

It seems like a weird choice for Lex's favorite cipher. Vigenere ciphers are much more fun, saw real-world use, and went unbroken for hundreds of years... but maybe that's a bit hard to decode in an interesting way on TV. A rail fence cipher might've been visually fun?

Of course, both of those require Lena to have learned a keyword, but they could've done it!! It could've been left in his Stryker's cell or something idk. Just pick something real 😭

(If you want to see me going insane about a different nitpick in canon, here's why Lex's prison carving was wrong.)

(If you want a nice introduction into ciphers and cryptography, I highly recommend The Code Book by Simon Singh.)

Hello!! I love your riara fic! I never thought I would like that ship, but I love the way you write them, so I’m hooked. Read for the jjpope tag, stayed for the amazing writing (although I still love your jjpope crumbs)!

I’m so sad there are only 22 chapters, and I hope you end up writing more, but if you don’t, have you ever thought of writing more for riara in the future? 😊

Hi!! First of all, thank you so much for this message omg :’) I’m so happy that you ventured out into the world of riara, it isn’t for everyone but I like to believe there’s something compelling there! I love hearing how people are pleasantly surprised by it haha

Before I knew about any ships or anything really about obx, I would see bits and pieces of jjpope and fully thought they were together. Or at least would eventually get together because ?? The scenes ?? The pining ?? What was all that for?? There’s smth to be said about public opinion and how that mobilized j*ara to get together and they were cowards to not do anything with jjpope. Granted, like you said, my fic only has crumbs of them 😭 and I would love to write them more into the story or even do a fic for just them

We’re really nearing the end of this fic and I’m blown away by that because I’ve been writing this for a while! I’m just proud that I’ve gotten to this point where I can say that things will be wrapping things up. It’s so exciting getting to these chapters because they were the ones I knew I wanted to write when I initially thought of this fic, it’s sooooo rewarding to get them out now and have you and others comment about enjoying it!! 🫶

But with one door closing another one will inevitably open, as for Riara fics— I’ve got one I’ve been working on! However, it’s a lot different than KRCG which I intentionally kept very light and fun. This new one will be quite controversial because it’s more of a dark fic, darker than my bad habit riara fic at some points and I know that’s everyone’s major issue with riara in the first place. I’ve alluded to it in the past but it takes place in s3 when the plane goes down. Rather than Kiara getting kidnapped by Singh, she’s “rescued” by Rafe and works things to her advantage to plan an escape back to the rest of the pogues. Essentially it’s them being forced to work together since they both have leverage they’re using to be useful to the other person— they get involved in the illegal trades, there are heists, jetting off to various countries for prospective clients, black market business dealings, general politics re: the criminal underbelly of the world, etc. Almost like a mafia au but without Rafe being a suave mafiasso lmao he’s just as out of his depth as Kiara is. I’m having a lot of fun with this one since it’s fully an enemies to lovers and I really enjoy deconstructing K&R’s preconceived notions of one another bit by bit and letting them humanize each other and grapple with what morality means to them. Mainly, it’s just drammmmaaa and them being badass 🥰

I am preparing myself for this to not be as well received with everyone since it’s quite out there and includes all the typical elements of riara that people don’t like, unapologetically and leaning into it even more. But the thought popped into my mind when s3 first came out and drew said that sometimes it feels like he’s on a totally different show than the rest of the cast bc of the scenes he gets, and that never left my mind— it took me a year to plan out the plot and I have so many pages of my notebook covered in moments, plot lines, dialogue, plot twists, drama, reveals that I want to write and now it’s finally happenjng ! So I’m very stoked for it but can understand & respect that people might want to sit this one out!

Light and Sound on The Path (Sant Mat, Radhasoami, Surat Shabd Yoga, The Path of the Masters, Bhakti of the Inner Light and Sound)

Happy 70th Birthday Baba Ram Singh Ji!

Below is excerpted from a satsang discourse of Baba Ram Singh commenting on verses of the Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry of Soami Ji Maharaj, which he often does in satsang.

"Swami Ji Maharaj also is addressing our soul as a hansa, or as a swan, because swans are pure birds and the soul is also pure. He is addressing the soul and He is telling the soul, 'You leave the outward things and leave the water outside and you come within. God Almighty has kept a lot of treasures within. He has kept an ocean of Nectar within. You come and take that.'

"'Saagar ksheer bharaa ghat beethar,

Peevo surat thaani.

Jag ko jaar dhaso nab andhar,

Mandar parakh nishaani.'

"He tells us to come within, but what stops us from going within is our attachment outside to this world. And till we overcome those attachments and entanglements outside, the soul will never be able to withdraw and go inside.

"The Masters give us Simran because that is a means to cut out our entanglements and enable the soul to leave the nine doors and come to the Tenth Door.

"By doing Simran and Dhyan, we will be able to mold our mind and get the gunas, or get the attributes, that are necessary for us to go within. All the Saints Who have gone within in the past, They have all made that effort of doing Their Bhajan Simran, and then They have been able to go within. And all in the future also, will be able to go within only when they make that effort of doing their Bhajan Simran.

"So, that possibility of going within is for everyone who does Bhajan and Simran. And we often delude ourselves, thinking that it is only Mahatmas have done the Bhajan Simran because They were Ready-Made Souls and They could go inside, but we are sinners and we are not able to do this. So, this is the thought of a lazy mind. And if we overcome that and we do our Bhajan Simran, then we will definitely be able to go within.

"Every human being, be it a male or a female, has the capability of going within. We should have that enthusiasm and we should have that commitment to do that meditation and we will definitely be able to go within...." 

"'Guru moorath tu dhaar hiye mein,

Man ke sang kyun firat nimaani.

Tera kaaz kare guru poore,

Sun le anahad baani.'

"Swami Ji Maharaj says, 'Your work will be done by a True Master.' And He says, 'Why aren’t you listening to that Anahad Shabd, that Sound Current, which is resonating at the Eye Center?'

"That Holy Sound Current has emanated from God Almighty and It has come down through the planes and is resonating at Eye Center. And from there, it is illuminating this body. And it is having the functionality of this body.

"So, Swami Ji Maharaj says, 'You manifest that Sound Current.'

He says, 'That Satguru Who is going to help you, He is within. You go and manifest that Holy Sound Current, which is His manifestation. And if you manifest that Sound Current, your going back and forth in this ocean of life and death will come to an end.'

-- excerpted from, Till We Overcome Those Attachments And Entanglements Outside, The Soul Will Never Be Able To Withdraw And Go Inside, a 2015 satsang discourse by Baba Ram Singh)

The original copy of 'Ghat Ramayana' written by Saint Tulsi Saheb kept in a glass case in the ashram of Saint Tulsi Saheb in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh.  (Photo Courtesy of Pujya Satya Prakash Baba, and Pravesh K. Singh)

हाथरस, उत्तर प्रदेश में संत तुलसी साहब के आश्रम में शीशे के पिटक में रखी उन्हीं द्वारा रचित 'घट रामायण' की मूल प्रति  (चित्र सौजन्य: पूज्य सत्य प्रकाश बाबा)

Sant Tulsidas says: "The true teacher is the one who gives knowledge without ignorance, who speaks about Light without darkness, and about the Formless God without the God with forms. That teacher I deem as being true."

Who is worthy to be called a true or accomplished teacher? The true teacher is the one who has transcended the realm of ignorance and darkness and is established in the realm of knowledge and Light. The true teacher having gone beyond the material realm of forms is established in the Formless State of the Infinite (the Divine). The accomplished spiritual teacher, who shows the path to experiencing the Reality, does so, only after testing this knowledge on the touchstone of his/her own personal experience. The knowledge of a true spiritual teacher is not simply based on intellectual knowledge, but also in personal experience.

Sant Kabir Sahab emphatically asserts: "You speak what is written down [intellectual knowledge], and I speak from what I have seen [inner experience]." 

Therefore, we need a spiritual guru who will not only be a knowledgeable teacher, but will also be morally sound and actively practicing what he/she teaches.

-- Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj (pictured above)

Amrik Singh answered these claims by expressing that understudy instructional courses with "customary weapons" had existed for a long time at these locations.[26] The KGB knowledge organization of the Soviet Association had warned India's Exploration and Examination Wing (R&AW) about a joint activity between Pakistan's Between Administrations Insight (ISI) and the US's Focal Knowledge Office (CIA) to mix nonconformist turmoil in the Indian territory of Punjab. Bogus cases were likewise made that R&AW had gotten knowledge by examining a Pakistani warrior that more than 1,000 Exceptional Help Gathering commandos of the Pakistan Armed force had been dispatched by the Pakistani government into Indian Punjab to help Bhindranwale in his battle against the Indian government; nonetheless, no indications of commandos were found and no confirmations were given by R&AW.

Indira Gandhi's choice to move troops into the Punjab depended on her treating in a serious way the data given by the Soviets in regards to secret CIA support for the Sikhs.

Paving the way to operation Blue star, there were a few fights by Sangh Parivar, including a walk drove by LK Advani and Stomach muscle Vajpayee of the Bharatiya Janata Party to challenge the absence of government activity and to request that the Indian Armed force be sent into the Brilliant Temple.

On 1 June 1984, after exchanges with the assailants fizzled, Indira Gandhi dismissed the Anandpur Goal and requested the military to send off operation Blue Star, all the while going after scores of Sikh sanctuaries across Punjab. Indian security forces started operation Blue Star when they terminated into different structures, which brought about the deaths of eight civilians. Various armed force units and paramilitary powers encompassed the Brilliant Sanctuary complex on 3 June 1984. The authority position of the military was that alerts were made to work with the departure of explorers yet that no acquiescence happened by June 5 at 7:00 pm. In any case, in April 2017 the Amritsar Locale and Meetings Judge Gurbir Singh gave a decision which expressed that there was no proof that the Indian armed force gave admonitions to pioneers to leave the sanctuary complex prior to beginning their assault.

The military had misjudged the capability moved by the aggressors, whose combat hardware included Chinese-made rocket-pushed projectile launchers and ammo with protection penetrating capacities. Tanks and weighty cannons were utilized to go after the aggressors, who answered with hostility to tank and assault rifle shoot from the vigorously sustained Akal Takht.
