- Chapter 3: The Secret Ringmasters (2/2)
(translation by Tim)
- Plan:
- When we learned of the great project of Pierre de Coubertin, we thought we had found a solution to the problem of the missing Agonothetai. We could use the modern Olympics as a primary means of synchronization.
- At the same time, we could depend on the labyrinth builders today to organize this world*... even without their knowledge. [*Translator's note: the word here is given as "modo" in the original and means "fashion", but is probably a typo, and should say "mondo", i.e. "world". I've put "world in my translation above.]
- The little paths here are the same as ours. Parallel journeys would seem to be possible, even without the ancient knowledge of the aim which they serve. With so many labyrinths and cultures around the world dedicated to passing into labyrinths, we believe that it's possible to organise even without Agonothetai.
- But if we're wrong, then the task of creating a new [gap in original text] will undoubtedly rest on the shoulders of travelers, to reconstruct the ancient organization* for modern times. [*This word actually appears in English, not in Esperanto, in the original; probably just a typo.]
- If you were sent here in a team of six, then undoubtedly this task will be the core of your mission. You must recruit members for a new Agonothetai and if your team of six is similar to ours, you are most probably Olympic athletes, or ever Agonothetai from your own worlds.
- You do have the required knowledge and talent required to carry out this mission, whether or not you are aware of it yet.
- The Mission
- You must establish new Agonothetai. [Note that "Agonothetai" is plural here, but I don't know what the plural is in English – "Agonothetais", or something else?] Their members must be trusted individuals, on all continents, capable of building labyrinths and practising the lost sport.
- They must be dedicated to the learning of the science of athletic synchronization, must understand the theory of the many worlds, and must build and secure a network of Omphaloi.
- These new Agonothetai will be more than game-keepers. They will be "ring leaders"* guiding your world's journey back to the synchronized ring of many worlds. [*Note: the words "ring leaders" appear in English, in quotes, in the original document.]
- You cannot leave this world until you are certain that these new "ring leaders" * are capable of secretly continuing the ancient traditions after you have gone home. [*Strangely, the first 14 words of this paragraph, i.e. You cannot ... "ring leaders", appear in English in the middle of all the Esperanto in the original document.
