TheTruth Behind Major Briggs and Project Blue Book

I chose to write about Major Briggs to try to prove that he has some of the same special “gifts” as some of the other characters in Twin Peaks. I will prove that Major Briggs has special gifts such as; those of, Laura Palmer, Sarah Palmer, Maddy Ferguson, the Log Lady, and Agent Cooper.

Major Briggs was working of a secret project for the government called Project Blue Book. It was later revealed that Project Blue Book's main focus was of the Black and White Lodge along with other unworldly events and phenomena’s.

During the second season Major Briggs is abducted and taken to the white lodge for several days. This is not the first time in the series that major Briggs was taken to the white lodge. According to “Lodges” (http://www.sheepproductions.com) “Major Briggs is being used by the white lodge spirits in an attempt to infiltrate the black lodge. [...] From time to time Major Briggs is abducted by the white lodge spirits [...] and it seems he is being sent into the black lodge.”

I started to ponder the gift given to Major Briggs when he had the vision of his son Bobby that was given to him by the white lodge. This is when I realized that he is working for the white lodge because the black would not send such a beautiful vision. This is not the only known thing sent to Major Briggs by the white lodge.
One of the other occurances was a message recieved, while monitering the woods. The message was for agent Cooper warning him against the owls, which symbolize the black lodge and BOB.

Major Briggs had both visions and coded messages from the white lodge. The other characters with special gifts, all had visions of their own, yet Major Briggs was the only one with a pure enough heart that was used by the white lodge.
