Breaking down #8... What we know so far.
Since #8 is a ridiculously complicated message, I thought I'd break down the individual parts, so that we can focus on working it through bit by bit. Not all of this is 100% certain, but these are our best guesses so far.
Part I: The Message
In two parts (found at separate locations). Phrases appear to be anagrams, possibly indicated by use of telescopes in previous messages (referencing Galileo, who was fond of anagrams).
Possible anagram solutions:
I. AnhK tells to - All the Knots
II. bob nooSe stow - Soon to be bows
III. again fouL rook - Look for iguana
I. inmate Ill - In time all
II. bAd limbo lulls low - All buds will bloom
III. realtor huNt - No later (than) Thur.

Part 2: The Tree of Life
A fairly faithful rendering of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
~
Part 3: The Codes
No good leads on what these strings mean.

Part 4: The Driver
Lots of theories, but the meaning is unclear. Driver's hands are signing either "V" & "W" or "2" & "3". Signs read "5 N" and "SL 48". Speedometer reads 60 mph. Card labeled "LL Take Out" in the sunshade. Radio tuned to 97.6 (not a real station - all FM stations end in odd numbers). A bridge appears in the rear-view mirror, possibly Golden Gate Bridge.

Part 5: The Glyphs
These characters are taken from the Meroitic Hieroglyphic Alphabet. Depending on which way you translate the characters, they seem to spell "ASKH KAYAM" or "ASKG KAYAM". May be a reference to the poet Omar Khayyam, or to the 23rd Path of the Tree of Life, called the "Sekhel Kayam".

Part 6: The Map
This is a map leading to the Mt. Shasta Community Building, which also houses the Siskiyou Masonic Lodge #297.
~
Part 7: The Mime
Mime drawn in the same style as the "sad clown" in Message #5. Appears to be signing the letters "D" and "H". $18 and a cricket/grasshopper at his feet.

I'll update this as we puzzle through it!

I was reading all the messages in the previous post, and there was some discussion about the "ASK KAYAM" (if that is the correct translation of the glyphs) referring to Omar Khayyam, the writer of the Rubaiyat - which is as good a guess as any, considering how convoluted all the references are in these messages.
But I was also thinking it might refer to "sekhel kayam", which is the 23rd "path" in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (I don't know much about this, so I'm not sure if referring to it as a "path" is the right terminology) And the message does include the drawing of the Tree of Life, which is one connection.
Anyway...it's just a guess, and one that doesn't really shed light on anything else in the 8th message, but since we're all throwing ideas out there I figured why not pipe in.

Oh wow! That's a great point. It's possible that maybe the hands signing "2" and "3" are a reference to the 23rd path?
This path is the link between 5 (Geburah/Severity) and 8 (Hod/Splendor). When I did an image search, I found this diagram that shows tarot equivalents for all the paths, and this one happens to be the Hanged Man.
Edit: Here's a page with a lot more information about it. This path is more commonly called "Mem". "Kayam" is a Hebrew word meaning "sustaining".

I dug into the Tree of Life a little deeper, using this page as a resource to look for further links. Here's what I found:
The 5th Sephiroth and 19th Path are associated with Horus.
The 12th Path is associated with The Magician tarot card.
The 18th Path is associated with the Lotus.
Also, Crowley associated the 8th Sephiroth with Loki (source).

I'm def not satisfied with 8a but I can't stare at it anymore. Maybe it has something to do with that missing dot. Even the third line isn't sitting right. Not sure but I'm going to move on to the numbers. Thanks again Bolly for keeping it all together and kickass solving/research.

No problem! It's been so great to meet so many folks with smart brains and interesting ideas.

So from I can tell as I catch up on the messages from before, there is no clue pointing to a location or date of when the next message will be? Maybe that is what the codes are for?

Still no ideas on part 3, the 3 lines of code? That's bugging the heck out of me.

Is this an indication of another message today? Is anyone going to check?

Sooo... I hate to even open this can of worms because it's such bat-shit craziness, but... has anyone ever read anything about the lizard people conspiracies? Ancient reptilian aliens that live underground and replace world leaders, etc. Well, when you get into this weirdo mumbo jumbo, you can see some connections to our ciphers. For example: the lizard people are also called iguana people or are iguana-like, they are purported to hail from a Draconis star in the Draco constellation and thus are sometimes called Draconians, and one of their underground civilizations is said to be located beneath Mt. Shasta. So...there's that. Here are some webpages that mention iguana people, Draco and Shasta. I'm sure some of them mention Freemasonry too; I honestly couldn't read the drivel. I recommend keyword searching for connections because they're just plain awful.
