Coulds Without Water
I’ve done some basic research (Google is my hero) on the buzzwords and phrases mentioned recently on so many blogs, and thought it would be interesting to share them. I found little on the scientific sounding phrases, but thought the biblical reference to be very fascinating.
“Clouds without water”
Most likely a reference to Jude 1:12 of the Christian Bible.
“These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,”
From the Bible in Basic English translation
"These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
From the American Standard Version translation
"These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
From the King James Version translation
Another less scholarly reference Knight could be making is to the band "Zoar" which has what I think is a concept album of the title "Clouds without Water". for a review of the alvum I suggest visiting the reveiw on the Middle Pillar Distro site.
There is also a book by Rev. C. Verey (Aleister Crowley) of the same title.

The obscurity and scholarly nature of such quotes leads me to believe that
both men are highly educated. We may be looking at Theology, philosophy or
English majors. Also, possibly former (maybe even current) art students. In few
other environments then a University would one find such intellect in such
concentration, and from a look at Neurocam’s application process, it can be
assumed that such a concentration did not come about merely be rising through
the ranks, but is more likely those up top, began there.
(Not to say that the
Application process is simple, or requires little intelligence, but such a
massive intellect, as displayed in e-mails with Operative Toby Esterhase by
Knight, rarely comes across so many others frequently)
In my speculation on the possible meaning of these quotes, I do not mean to agree with whatever the speaker is saying. I'm afraid that soon there will be sides to take and for now wish to stay out of the conflict itself until I have a better understanding of what is occuring.
[It seems I have some catching up to do with what has happened with Neurocam since I have been busy, and will thusly be updating backwards tommorow, dating each entry as they happened, starting with may acceptance last Saturday.]

"The lyrics here, an excerpt from author Charles Bowden's Blood Orchid, deals with the ancient wisdom that humans have lost, becoming completely dependent on technology for our fundamental means of survival."
Perhaps Knight commenting on the ARG like atmosphere the Blogs and message boards have created around neurocam. Or maybe not, and I'm way off base here.
"Jennifer Charles of ELYSIAN FIELDS, gives a startling performance on "In ThesePerhaps Knight is refering to some cold blooded and hostile female he may know from his life, perhaps the workplace. Maybe not, and I'm way off base here.
Rooms", portraying a femme fatale that would frighten Mickey Spillane. Vintage
film-noir style dialogue about murder combines with gothic horror elements to
chill the blood."
There is also a book by Rev. C. Verey (Aleister Crowley) of the same title.
"Look! Look! upon the tripod through the smoke Of slain things kindled, and fine
frankincense. Look deep beyond the phantoms these evoke Are sightless halls
where spirit stifles sense. There do I open the old book of Fate Wherein They
pictured my delight and me Flushed with the dawn of rapture laureate And leaping
with the laughter of ecstacy. Mine eyes grow aged with that hieroglyph Of doom
that I have sought : the fatal end. That which is written is written, even if
Great Zeus himself great Zeus ! -- were to befriend. Even in the spring of the
first floral kiss : "No happy end the gods have given for this "

I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee. Clouds in my coffee...
I believe there have been other Crowley references, but it was a while ago, I'm not sure what
