A couple of days ago, after going through the latest Cass transcript thread (http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=12737.msg91273#msg91273)
I was wondering why no one picked up on the following part of the transcript:
Laura's "shorthand" comment (I'm assuming that it was pertaining to X7 in the C's response) stood out for me but I could find anything else to follow through on that so I left the idea in the back burner.
I did try to read up all that the google search engine could cough up on shorthand, which were mostly wikipedia entries and references.
What I did find about shorthand is that it probably will take a lot of reading and practice to read shorthand starting from zero shorthand reading skills. :P
Incidentally, the wikipedia image for the shorthand page (_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorthand)

(I tried hot-linking the image but I think the format *.png can't be displayed?)
is titled "The Lord's Prayer in Gregg and a variety of 19th-century systems". And the Cass transcript was discussing Laura's modified version of the Lord's prayer!
Anyhow, getting back on track...
Now while I was going through this thread on crop circles and reading up on the pages I haven't read in a couple of days, after I read the post by Vulcan, something "clicked".
To me, the image that Vulcan59 linked to kinda reminded me of shorthand and I was thinking that maybe the alchemical symbols can be read using "shorthand rules" (I'm aware that there are several popular shorthand systems/rules), and by extension, the crop circles can be interpreted using some sort of shorthand rules?
I admit that this is mostly conjecture on my part because, apart from "googling shorthand" and reading up wikipedia entries, I know zilch about shorthand. Is anybody familiar with how to read and write shorthand and can let me know if I'm on to something here?
Also, there is the possibility that Laura's shorthand comment was ignored by the C's because X7 was probably just noise. But then again, only Laura and the regulars at the sessions could say for sure if that part I highlighted from the session was merely noise...
I was wondering why no one picked up on the following part of the transcript:
Q: (laughter) (L) Well then why were you so enthusiastic when Craig proposed teaching us? I mean, he asked if he should teach us, and you said yes with seven exclamation points!
A: Got you to do it and jump started your thinking didn't we?!
Q: (L) So the point wasn't that this method was "the best" or the only one or so great. It was to draw our attention to the idea of breathing, or control of breath, as a means of effecting emotional healing. Is that it?
A: Absolutely!X7
Q: (laughter) (L) Shorthand. Um...
A: Remember that your method employed a powerful "seed".

Vulcan59 said:According to the cc website comments section for this crop circle, some of the symbols are from the Mayan Calender.
Added later:-
I also tried looking for the symbols in the book below and although some of the symbols did match, most did not have any similarities at all, OSIT.
