Red v. Blue: Color Symbolism & Americana in Twin Peaks
Note: I'm writing this as someone who has watched the entire original series, Fire Walk With Me, The Missing Pieces, and The Return, as well as other features from Lynch's filmography (Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Eraserhead); marked for spoilers now, do not proceed if you haven't seen them all. This is a longpost for Twin Peaks-obsessed nuts like me. One of the things that remains a statement of the original incarnation (and thus, a statement by being substituted with HD digital cameras in The Return) is Twin Peaks's absolute mastery of the highly saturated 4:3 box TV aesthetic. I've heard Lynch was adamant the color palette not be corrected to a grittier, desaturated version when execs received the tapes. It's part of what's made so many iconic sequences and shots from the original run hallmarks of Tumblr and Instagram accounts aplenty. Twin Peaks came (and could be argued, ushered) on the precipice of a major shift in the television format. We would see the contemporary form of television media developed further with shows like The Sopranos in the HBO prime cable era, or The X-Files (no wonder Chris Carter plundered Twin Peaks's cast for his own attempt). As a marker for the end of the 80s and its preceding decades though, in many ways Twin Peaks to spoke to a form of TV largely since faded: soap operas and sitcoms and serials. It's part of why I loved the metatextual inclusion of the soap opera Invitation to Love, allowing the show to reference its own stylized dramaturgy. Jade & Emerald... Jade give two rides, hm? Very specifically, I find the series loves to riddle blue and red, like one oni to another. Fire and water. Hot-cold (like the shivery feeling Audrey gets when she holds an ice cube on her bare skin for a long time). The red and blue on Mike's TP varsity letterman jacket could be the most striking and concise marriage of this dynamic pairing. Donna & Maddie dive into this in the season 2 opener, scheming at the Double R (docked points for the silly jailhouse seduction routine by Donna, though). Subtler in palette but more obvious in Americana, Major Briggs's omnipresent blue uniform incorporates red in his breast patch (and Don S. Davis's ruddy-warm complexion, imo) speaking to his inherent patriotism as part of the Air Force. On more than one occasion Big Ed is spotted with a red & blue flannel. Much to be said about the pairing of Bobby & Mike, comparing to BOB & MIKE; MIKE saw the face of God, but Bobby is the one who saw the light in this duo. The flashing lights of a cop car. Dr. Jacoby's iconic 3D glasses-flavored shades (note that Jacoby and Ben both hailed from the Robert Wise-directed 1961 film adaptation of West Side Story, the famous 50s musical depicting rival gangs experiencing a Romeo & Juliet plot amidst culture clash in NYC). Lil the Dancer, communicating through expressive dance a coded message in FWWM. A barbershop quartet in the background behind Coop & Albert in "Coma". I believe it's The Secret History of Twin Peaks book that is paired with red and blue filter lenses, so you can view certain hidden information? Either way, Lynch likes his 50s/60s Americana; reminds me of Castle Horror gimmicks. The blue flower was a central Romanticism symbol; as blue roses don't occur in nature, they hold an air of mystery and fantastic possibility. Tennessee Williams used the blue rose to symbolize the fragile & unique character Laura(!!) in The Glass Menagerie. The sign outside One-Eye Jack's. Red pairs often with green or black in gambling/casino situations; from the card deck motif for the sex workers to the mix-match patches of a roulette wheel. The malfunctioning lift for Leo in "The Orchid's Curse." The stage behind Julee Cruise during Roadhouse performances, especially "Lonely Souls." Even though the Red Room is known for its red, we see eventually that the Lodge holds strobing blue lights and the milky cataracts of doppelgangers. In a more peaceful sense, blue light washes over Laura as she smiles in the Lodge at the end of FWWM, reunited finally with her angel. You can practically hear the buzz of the neon zapping into life from here. Knowing how important electricity is to Twin Peaks, these little details really stand out. Ben and Jerry, at various times, switch between the two to complement each other much like the Miser Brothers. We also see it in Ben's interactions with Catherine; their affair in "Traces to Nowhere" finds Catherine clad in a powdery blue blanket, Ben's fiery tie, Catherine's ruby toenails (sidenote: not a fan of the Tarantino interaction). We see more of this Ben-Catherine color scheme in "Cooper's Dreams" during the Iceland convention with Leland's impromptu dancefloor breakdown. Ben, as central locus for Twin Peaks's criminal element, seems to be a lightning pole for these color dynamics. Notable is his integral need as a character to keep his publicly clean image and seedy underworld dealings separate, the perfect human symbol for Lynch's sequence in Blue Velvet's intro depicting the rotting & squirming insects buried beneath the idyllic Levittown surface of Lumberton. And Ben, even beyond his perennial cigar, enjoys many scenes by the fire of a hearth. Ben floats through the two by himself on a regular basis, which I think ties into his role as the uber 80s corporate & cold American businessman, espousing social niceties & charm but hiding his sinister and impulsive skeletons in the closet. It's almost like he should be Lodge, but he's only run parallel to it as a human being. Likewise, when it comes to the Lodge, BOB and the Man from Another Place/The Arm make a perfect red-blue pair. I noticed this especially in FWWM during the chaotic convenience store sequence. Given that during the night the sky can range from black as a cup of Coop's coffee to a Prussian shade, by following a Goethe color theory mindset, we can admit "Blue is a darkness weakened by light." BOB never comes off weak, but as a possessing spirit, for the viewer, his sudden appearances/reveals herald a (at times literal) spotlight into the black oil that is his essence (follow this link for a Youtube vid that informed some of my own theories). Goethe characterizes blue as common (think of country folk and bikers and truckers), as well as cold and melancholy, powerful. Red is much easier for The Arm; in addition to evoking the Christian iconography of a devilish imp figure, he is pure fire, the kind that truly walks with you (Goethe considers red as beautiful, dignified, closer to the essence of light; perhaps this echoes the Neoclassical Venus statue found often with Red Room curtains, or the red lipstick of the various beautiful women commonly prey to Twin Peaks). BOB's always clad in blue denim to match The Arm's impish red suit. Noticeable since they remain the two most active agents as Lodge creatures, continuing the BOB/MIKE dualism that existed pre-show. Given the only color left to throw in is white (HMM,, White Lodge? Sarah's pale horse? Leland's hair? The stuffed arctic fox in Ben's office? That weird long-faced elk thing at the Packard-Martell house? Pete and Coop enjoying/trying to order a mug of milk? The Tremond/Chalfont boy's white mask?) and you have the Star-Spangled Banner itself (the mini-flag at Twin Peaks Sheriff's office that flanks Coop while he's sitting across the table from Dr. Jacoby, as well as Coop's fixation on the full-sized incarnation while he's in the Bros. Fusco's office during his Dougie stint in The Return, are just two instances). Notable as a tri-color national aesthetic, red white & blue sometimes finds its way back in altered forms: straightforward visual representation with the Icelandic investors, as well as more tonally & artistically-derived influence from Lynch's favorite country (we'll forget the agonizing French hookup leaving scene from The Return and think more of Monica Bellucci's dream sequence, or Ben & Jerry orgasming over fresh baguettes with brie). Great shot from Tim Hunter here. Part 9, \"This is the chair.\" I remember this sequence being a spark of sorts, tantalizing to see Coop stir somewhat from his Dougie stupor. While it should come as no surprise an American show would have many American-specific themes, I'm often convinced that Lynch is using the visual shorthand to simultaneously sing, criticize, celebrate, and reflect on what it means to be America. It is not coincidence that Dale Bartholomew Cooper's name reflects the notorious Pacific Northwest hijacker D.B. Cooper, or Harry Truman with the 33rd President (who, mind you, ordered the atomic bombs dropped in WWII). Or Franklin "Frank" Truman with the 32nd, for that matter. Coop openly ponders the Kennedy assassination (itself rife for conspiracy theories and speculation, much like TP) in a log to Diane, as well as Marilyn Monroe's involvement with the family; who else is Laura Palmer but a hometown Monroe? Much like D.B. Cooper, Coop took a historic leap. I would love to dig down deep and really review all of his work to understand more about Lynch's fixation on Lincoln (a portrait is in the Donna/James classroom when Laura's death is announced; a dramatic shot in Blue Velvet fixates on Lincoln Street which divides the town's good/bad parts & has an antagonist by the name of Booth; the "Gotta light?" Woodsman in The Return). Now if someone could explain this connection... Dick says this right before the fire alarms go off and swamp Leland with water while BOB rams Leland's head in to break his last vessel and escape from justice. Why Lincoln? I refer to it as The House Divided. Lincoln is one of the most recognizable presidents, partially due to his assassination (Kennedy echo), partially due to his role in the Civil War and how America resolved its most divisive internal conflict. He's emblematic of the Old America and the New America, slavery and post-slavery, secession and preservation. Somewhat like Republicans & Democrats, red v. blue. We know the toy Lincoln Logs, we hear the term Lincoln Lawyer, he's even one of the faces on Mt. Rushmore (referenced explicitly in The Return -"There they are Albert, faces of stone"- as well as compositionally in "Cooper's Dreams"); given the existence of both a Black Lodge and White Lodge in mythos, I think it's safe to draw at least some broad comparison to black America and white America (as well as Windom Earle's fetish for chess). Even as a goofier entry during Season 2's decaying period, Ben's mental lapse into General Robert E. Lee and fixation on the Civil War (mirroring Johnny Horne's fixation with the indigenous headdress and colonist America) gives some meat to this motif. Although it's never quite outright verbalized in show, one gets the sense that America is inherently built on some original sins. The water in the well was poisoned before the Trinity test Notable too for the context of having Hawk (Nez Perce) included in this recreation. Mt. Rushmore was originally a sacred place for the Lakota Sioux; its present condition is considered desecration to their culture. America in its current incarnation was founded on the genocide and forced relocation of its indigenous peoples; Twin Peaks is loaded with Native American patterns and imagery, i.e. The Great Northern. Note as well that red, by itself, can easily be tied to Twin Peaks's lifeforce, and by extension Lynch's entire repertoire. Fire. Red velvet curtains. Lipstick and nail polish. Blood. Pete's fisherman flannel. Audrey's heels, and her cherry trick. Norma's cherry pie. Log Lady's frames. "Let's rock" on Agent Desmond's car in FWWM. The women at One-Eye Jack's. The blooming roses peaking through white picket fences in Blue Velvet. The vast majority of neon signage (The Roadhouse especially). The traffic light at Sparkwood & 21. Leo's ostentatious Corvette. The lifeline zigzags on the high school walls. MIKE, in Philip Gerard, is fond of red tops, connecting him directly with The Arm. Much is made of Twin Peaks's proximity to Canada in the original series; the corrupt Mountie during the internal investigation arc stands out. The balloons at Dougie's corporate plaza. The Scarlet Letter. Lancelot Court, red door. Laura Palmer's Secret Diary. Night time, my time. Red can be a carnal color, igniting passion, but also a warning to stop, turn back. Often we find it in the company of characters who have experienced a lot in Lynch's world, and not too much good. And blue too. Blue is much more sparing in Twin Peaks, to greater mystical effect. Blue Rose. Laura's cold lips in the Pilot. Blue Velvet. Isabella Rossellini's dramatic eyeshadow as Dorothy Vallens. The waitress outfits at the Double R Diner. Leo's button-down when Shelly shoots him. The light in the morgue as Hawk tails Philip Gerard. The lifeline zigzags on hospital monitors (how they spike with Ronette, how they fall flat when Leland strangles Jacques). Ronette is swaddled in soft blue blankets during the S2 opener, her tilted head recalls Marian imagery (interesting from a Madonna-Whore complex standpoint); two episodes later her IV drip is tainted with blue dye, a visit from BOB. Maddie Ferguson's nightgown during her carpet-stain vision. Coop's iconic jammies. Rita's blue key & Betty's blue box in Mulholland Drive. The woman's hair at Club Silencio. Whenever television sets or camera footage shows up onscreen in Twin Peaks, there's a noticeable cool blue tint: think of that first tape, Laura & Donna dancing in the woods; the static showcased in the opening credits to FWWM; the footage of Coop gambling, obsessed over by Jean Renault. Gordon & Albert speaking together after meeting with Mr. C and watching Tammy walk away. Flashes of lightning. The sign at the Luna Lounge, where Fred Madison plays his discordant sax solo in Lost Highway. Two dead girls wash up in the water. Calhoun Memorial's morgue stays bathed in blue light. Louise Bourgeois claimed it as hallmark, stating blue left behind \"the drabness of day-to-day reality\" for \"a world of freedom\", inner truths. BOB is certainly free. Beyond red and blue, the colors I tend to notice in Twin Peaks are pink and green (notable for following a warm/cool polarization as well), which do not concern themselves to the same extent with Americana, if at all. Pink is much more sparse in its application, typically feminine: Nadine's prom dress during her suicide attempt in the S1 finale; Naido/Diane's bathrobe in The Return; the drapes behind the new One-Eyed Jack's girl Ben sleeps with in "Zen" (purposefully designed to evoke a vagina, in my opinion); fudging into purple, but we can count the Mauve Zone and Coop's run-in with Naido to an extent; Gersten Hayward's princess outfit during her piano performance for the Palmers; the trio of Candie, Mandie & Sandie; the gut-churning Pink Room sequence from FWWM with Laura & Donna. Candie was a surprising standout for The Return. I felt these girls were a commentary on One-Eyed Jack's in the way the Mitchum Bros. were commentary on Ben & Jerry; where Ben & Jerry enjoyed public acceptance but indulged in dark secrets and ran through vulnerable sex workers, Bradley & Rodney have a dark reputation/entrance but ultimately possess hearts of gold, rescuing at-risk women like these three. Green is more expansively utilized, and supernatural in tone: the billowing leaves of those Douglas firs in an ominous breeze; the iconic Twin Peaks font's outline; the guiding light we see through Dougie's eyes (which I assume has always been a part of Coop's psyche and intuition); Dougie's iconic oversized jacket; the infamous Owl Cave ring; the vintage lampshade adorning Ben's desk; the childhood bike Ben fondly recalls in The Return; the framed picture of the tall pine in the Sheriff's Department lobby; the tiny fir stuffed by the partition in the Palmer household; Jade & Emerald, even. Ben says to Leo, conspiring to burn the mill in "The One-Armed Man" - "Three nights, Leo. Green light." Something about it reminds me of Jay Gatsby's over-analyzed yearning green light from the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic; the idea of the American Dream with wanton capitalism, and how it's impossible to achieve (am I crazy for thinking there's a connection between Big Ed's Gas Farm's neon egg sign and the West Egg/East Egg class divide?). Of course, the owls are watching. Much like the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg. Ed's business harkens to how convenience stores (early-to-mid-century modernist American consumerism) were both the pumping blood and desiccated bone of our culture, as well as the Woodsmen womb. It also reminds me of old-style egg timers, and what is Twin Peaks but a show obsessed with the manipulation and perception of time? Was it the chicken or the egg that came first? Is it future or is it past? By the time of The Return, we have lost these overly saturated tones, but the direct symbolic use of color is still integral to a Peaks viewing. I find it even more interesting that The Return made extensive use of black & white footage. Eraserhead and The Elephant Man alike (I've found both hold the spores for concepts and aesthetics fully developed in Lynch's later filmography, like the chevron Lodge floor pattern we all dearly love) were filmed in this manner; I feel Lynch chose this as nod to this earlier work, as well as the old formats of pre-color TV and film, like WWII newsreels. I find it relevant as well that older generations dream in black & white, a vanishing phenomenon which is directly related to the media of their era. B&W film informed the visual rhetoric of their unconscious minds; we, as younger Americans, dream in Technicolor. This is the first shot we see of The Elephant Man. Notice how this is specifically his left arm, hand floating over the flame. Later in the film during a particularly moving sequence, Merrick first proves he is capable of speech for the first time by reciting the 23rd Psalm in a louder and louder tone, mirroring Annie Blackburn's prayers while Windom Earle led her bound into the Lodge. The black & white sequences occur within the Lodge, relate directly to the Lodge - may Part 8 live forever in its atomic power - or otherwise involve unexplained phenomena (Cole's Monica Bellucci dream). By the time of The Return, a disconnect with the past and nostalgia is a core theme. The colors have faded. Coop, a half-baked shadow of himself, only gets restored by the chance mention of Gordon Cole's name in Sunset Blvd. Note Billy Wilder's 1950 film revolves around an aging actress lost in the reverie of her long-gone prime. (Also note her insistence, when William Holden's character asks her about the Salome film script, she's not conducting a "comeback" but a *return*; this, I feel, ties in as well to Major Briggs's underappreciated vision scene, emphasizing the idea of a return.) Although not shot in black & white, Pete, assisting Catherine as she tears apart their library, pauses for a moment during "The Last Evening" to linger on his high school yearbook. He's lost in the old pre-color photos, in the memory of Midge Jones, a man we never know. He's returned to a place in his youth, much like Garland's return to the gleaming, radiant marble of the fantastic palazzo in his S2 vision. These two live in a retro-futurist Art Deco fever dream, accompanied the very appropriate Slow 30s Room soundtrack piece. Everything about the Fireman & Senorita Dido tells me of an America past its prime. I'm also convinced this was what Lynch envisioned for Briggs's palazzo; if only Don S. Davis was alive for The Return. There's a plethora more I could get into, definitely for another thread: the preoccupation with trinities, animals, rings, technology, fine art references, and sonic elements are on my mind as well. I need to rewatch The Return again soon so more connections and thoughts are present. Let me know if you guys enjoyed this rambling mess!
William Blakespeare,666 cyphers, The man in black and
Ok folks. Lets go over some wild syncs. As some of you know I have been looking into 666 the number of beast and man. https://imgur.com/F3zCiRw First I discovered the 3 distance calculations Then looked into the peculiarities of the conversion rate between meters and Nautical miles. Then I leaned about Earths Axis. How the tilt creates seasons and Wobbles between between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. So the angle of the axis is in relation to the Sun. 23.4 degrees currently 234+432= 666 but also in the form of redundancy is 90 degrees-23.4degrees is 66.6degrees Then I learned how the angle of the line created when you connect the Kaaba of mecca to the temple mount is the same angle of the earths axial tilt 23.4 degrees with a 66.6 degree to the equator. Then I learned that Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 13X18 =432....... added too its mirror 234=666 As shown in the Axial 23.4 to 666 measure. After this I thought “What is the 666th verse of the bible. Gen 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. In seeing this and seeing not only a number but the same syntax as before, the 100s 10s and 1s places independently. 25X7= 175 which is the number of years of Abraham's life, told too us within the 666th verse. Then while flying around on google earth I found the circular measurement tool. I learned that if you take the circle to the other side of the globe you can find the opposite side of the earth, which I then shortly learned was called an “Antipode”. https://www.reddit.com/C_S_T/comments/8o40mt/abrahamkabbaantipodes_and_666/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=user&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=frontpage In searching for land on the opposite sides of the earth from particular points EVERY point I put in prior too Mecca was in the ocean. Mecca's antipode was also in the ocean but only 30 miles from land. I found signs of in habitation on the island in the form of grids of trees, Sure enough in the 1966, Catholic missionary Father Victor Valleys mentioned in a letter to his bishop that he had planted 135,000 coconut trees on the islands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tematagi I then found that 175 nuclear bombs were tested in this area. I thought that was interesting in regard to the 666th verse gen 25x7= 175 and 175 is the number in the text. Metaphorically this becomes even more interesting when you realize if heaven is residing above mecca then, the antipode of mecca's sky would be the gates of hell. Bombing the gates of hell with 1 nuke for every year of Abraham life sounds a lot like a 21 gun salute. So to find next that Abraham and Isaac BUILT the kaaba. http://www.light\-of\-truth.com/666/KJV.html The 666th chapter from the end of the bible is Psalm 46..... Seeing this got me giddy as this is one of my favorite biblical quirks. It looks as if they were extra redundant about it as its the KJV of the bible has it on the 666th page. But this isn't the most incredible part. The king James version of the bible released in 1611 “Around” William Shakespeare's 46th birthday. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE is an anagram for “HERE WAS I LIKE A PSALM”. But that isn't all. If you look for the 46th word from the beginning you get Shake in the KJV (Totter, and tremble) are other versions words. Then you take the 46th word from the end you get Spear. This is getting stranger and stranger is it not? The more you meditate on this data the more confusing it becomes. http://biblehub.com/hebrew/7493.htm http://biblehub.com/hebrew/2595.htm These are the 2 words in question from the Psalm. So you can be certain that the original text was arranged this way and translated this way. The riddle is deep as you have to ask which came first? WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR-THE ORGINAL BIBLE- THE KJV. The presence of the anagram by itself is a fun coincidence but the words shake and spear ALSO to be encoded an EXACT and Particular Psalm, one that echoes the years of Shakespeare at that time. http://www.light-of-truth.com/Freemasonry/Bacon911.htm Seeing this author post this on 6-6-06 linking Shakespeare to 9-11 is stark and powerful to me. As I write this it is 11:58pm 6-5-18. I wonder if I can finish before tomorrow lol. Seeing that Obama read Psalm 46 on the 10th anniversary of 9-11 is quite chilling in the regards of the 666 position and Shakespeares/Bacons “Clue” Also chilling that there is a large body of work linking OBAMA to 666 http://www.pacificrimbible.com/books/Obama%20and%20the%20Number%206.pdf While many will say you can torture the numbers to get what you want but you can see we aren't talking just numbers, there are many contextual and historical clues, and there is certainly a “CREATIVE” force involved. Like its just a damn good movie that we are all in. Which leads me into the SYNCHRONICTY portion of the post. I have been traveling down the path of the Man in Black. LOST, West-world, and The Dark Tower series in particular. I am also reading the comic book series Promethea, which I highly recommend if you are interested in the occult philosophies and kabbalah rich world of the land of imagination. I had a peculiar Tarot card sync via 3 separate mediums.1st I got an RPG called Pillars Of Eternity 2 and I made my character and I end up sitting in front of a table with tarot cards after doing so. 2nd I got to the part in promethea where she is traveling the paths of the tree of life. In the Kabbalah the lines between the Spheres or Sephiroth are attributed to a tarot card. I finished up reading that night with the Tower card. 3rd Was the final confrontation with the Man in black where he meets with the Man and he gives Roland a tarot reading also drawing the Tower. These 3 tarot PINGS were in the span of 15 or 16 hours. Season 2 episode 7 came on sunday and I awoke to a message from my sync friend detailing their wild sync chain brought on by “William Blakes Augeries of Innocence” being spoken by Anthony Hopkins character. I wont detail her sync chain but its funny because when I watched the show the quote didn't really stand out as much.but my friend bringing attention to it hit me like a ton of bricks. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43650/auguries-of-innocence Theres the poem for those interested I wont break it down but there are some startling pings in the text. “The number of the beast is 666” is the name of a William Blake painting as a part of a series. And when I saw the link I flipped, In the movie Red Dragon Anthony Hopkins plays Hannibal Lectere and he is helping to hunt down the tooth fairy. There is a scene in that movie that always stood out as damn peculiar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJZlg3jRQOw So nice they made it TWICE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyWGjGdg7s4 Note the man opposite the red dragon is William Graham (which is common enough of a name but still.) Hopkins and the man in black (Ed Harris) WW are also 2 men opposite from each other where one creates a puzzle and the other has to figure it out. The maze is the goal. Which means to me that the maze and the process of findings one way is the treasure there isn't ONE thing at the end. The dark tower novel has Roland Deschain playing opposite of The man in Black, the main in black also setting the stage for rolands “awakening to the multitudes of realities” Leaving obstacles and challenges to sharpen the man like stone to blade. http://www.generationterrorists.com/quotes/the_dark_tower_the_gunslinger_size.shtml This is the ending I witnessed. Not really the end, but a explanation of the world. >"Imagine the sand of the Mohaine Desert, which you crossed to find me, and imagine a trillion universes - not worlds by universes - encapsulated in each grain of that desert; and within each universe an infinity of others. We tower over these universes from our pitiful grass vantage point; with one swing of your boot you may knock a billion billion worlds flying off into darkness, a chain never to be completed.” To See a world in a grain of sand. Looking at a single point there is yet infinitude's of complexity and creativity abound. This is when my Sync friend said CETEACEAN STRANDING. I immediately thought of DEATHS STRANDING and also the song “do the strand” was playing when James Delos danced his little dance in west-world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2nuHEGhwiw At 2:09 is the beached whales that pinged my memory. When I pulled up the video I almost knocked my seat over as the trailer opens with “Augeries of innocence” by WILLIAM BLAKE!!!!! the same quote that was stated by Anthony Hopkins in Westworld as well as a version quoted by the Man in Black. Whales are divided into two main categories toothed whales and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baleen_whale MYSTICETI or MYSTIC ETI (extra terrestrial intelligence.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism >Mystic: a person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect. >"Mysticism" is derived from the [Greek] μυω, meaning "I conceal", and its derivative μυστικός, [mystikos] , meaning 'an initiate'. The verb μυώ has received a quite different meaning in the Greek language, where it is still in use. The primary meanings it has are "induct" and "initiate". Secondary meanings include "introduce", "make someone aware of something", "train", "familiarize", "give first experience of something" It certainly feel like I am undergoing some form of initiation, with the universe,history and human creations to light various clues. The ETI present in the whales is funny for a multitude of reasons. ETI. Stands for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. This is funny for a couple reasons. One is that they WERE terrestrial creatures,or rather they evolved from Land mammals and adapted the blowhole functionality. Extra Terrestrial is right lol, and intelligent, yeah they are that too. http://www.bigear.org/CSMO/HTML/CS06/cs06p02.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly John C. Lilly is a fascinating character and Cetacean scholar. But more than that hes know for his studies into consciousness and coincidence. >Lilly was interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. In 1961 a group of scientists including Lilly gathered at the Green Bank Observatory to discuss the possibility of using the techniques of radio astronomy to detect evidence of intelligent life outside the solar system. They called themselves The Order of the Dolphin after Lilly's work with dolphins. They discussed the Drake equation, used to estimate the number of communicative civilizations in our galaxy.[ >In 1974, Lilly's research using various psychoactive drugs led him to believe in the existence of a certain hierarchical group of cosmic entities, the lowest of which he later dubbed Earth Coincidence Control Office (E.C.C.O.) in an autobiography published jointly with his wife Antonietta (often called Toni). To elaborate, "There exists a Cosmic Coincidence Control Center (CCCC) with a Galactic substation called Galactic Coincidence Control (GCC). Within GCC is the Solar System Control Unit (SSCU), within which is the Earth Coincidence Control Office (ECCO). The search for ETI's lead by “The Brotherhood of the Dolphin” coincidence control center which brings us back to bikini bottom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGdy8z7dCe4 Bubbles the one who Watches. The dolphin in charge of making sure the universe is kept straight. I had already had a stunning synchronicity regarding death stranding which probably kept in my easily accessed memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Hy96sOnq8 This trailer opens with Norman Reedus on the ground with a uniform on. The number on the uniform is 0914-137. the 0914 stood out synchromystically on a personal level for me as it was the first number sequence I had ever memorized (other than my grandmothers phone number) This number was the birthdate of my stepmothers father and her father passed away shortly after the wedding and they had gotten a security system for the house and coded the entry code too be 0914. 137 is another significant number as it relates to the Fine structure Constant. And the TENGRI 137 rabbit hole. 137 is also the “Main” or original universe in Rick and Morty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Hy96sOnq8 at 3:33 you meet the bad guy of deaths stranding Mads Mikelson. WHO is also HANNIBAL LECTERE. Today I started 'The drawing of the Three” the second book in the dark tower series. It opens up with our hero on a beach with the waves lapping up at him. He ends up being chased by a “Lobstrocity” down the STRAND. I noticed the reader said STRAND 3 times on the beach scene and I looked up what it meant. That is when I learned that strand was a synonym for beach. This is how this stuff works. I experience a thing, research the thing and then experience a thing that directly references the whole process and connects it back to the other strands. Yesterday I learned about RONALD WILSON REAGAN and the silly 666 connection because each name has 6 letters. This '”fact” is used or makes the facts im showing look similar in that its silly just because a man has 6 letters in each name that he is evil. Then I learned that RONALD moved into 666 St Cloud rd Los Angeles. They changed the address to 668 for hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia's sake. Or rather that 666 is evil? hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia Is the fear of the number 666. Which is intriguing as you think of the Truman show and the use of FEAR to control the TRUEMAN from awakening to the truth of his reality. They had to keep him on the island, they used his fear of dogs and had him “Lose his father” in a storm just to never get him to try again. Then I notice the obvious ROLAND RONALD. Which is amusing in light of the William Shakespeare (here was I like a psalm) finding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William\_Blake >When William was ten years old, his parents knew enough of his headstrong temperament that he was not sent to school but instead enrolled in drawing classes at Pars's drawing school in the Strand. Theres that STRAND once again akin to a thread of a tapestry that when you trace back to the source you can begin to see something great and complex forming. My Sync friend says “WILLIAM BLAKESPEAR” and of course I giggled at the obviousness of it. Also to to note WILLIAM is the man in black in WW the man in BLAKe. But there is a lot more that connects west-world to Shakespeare. As a quote from Shakespeare is the catalyst or codephrase that starts the “awakening” process for the “hosts/robots”. These violent delights have violent ends. Is from a Romeo and juliet Scene. Peter Abernathy is the HOST with the world in his mind. All of the data of the park is contained within and needed on the outside. http://westworld.wikia.com/wiki/Literary_references It appears the references haven't gone under he noses of the fans of West World. https://www.refinery29.com/2017/08/166480/westworld-dark-tower-movie-connections-time-maze and the connections from darktower too westworld have been noticed as well. The following Ford quote is from Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818): "One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire." - Robert Ford (to [Bernard Lowe] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgqOiJcRIIM) This is Frankenstein's monster reading the same quote that Anthony Hopkins read in West-world. Just another little sync in a beautiful and fascinating web of truth. The connection from Will to Will (blake to shake) is alot more solid however. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pity_(William_Blake)) I am brought too pity when I think of Death stranding https://www.pcgamer.com/kojima-a-baby-and-william-blake-an-attempt-to-analyze-death-stranding/ http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3467/ then you have others linking The 2 Wills. http://www.shakespearemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/image1.jpeg Here is a painting of Will to Will. So having painted a collection of Shakespeare's works shows there is some connection. So now I want to dive deeper into the Francis Bacon and Shakespeare connection and that Bacon/shakespeare/Tudor heir to throne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZdqd5El5Y4 This video shows the process of finding the cipher that Baconspeare utilized in his works. The cipher proven time and time again.and its always so elegant and metaphorically artistic. With works like this there is the content which is INCREDIBLE but the WAY in which it was found is more improbable. Seeing the word AUTHOR pop up repeatedly in the ciphers I looked up the etymology. >Middle English (in the sense ‘a person who invents or causes something’): from Old French autor, from Latin* auctor, from augere ‘increase, originate, promote.’ The spelling with th arose in the 15th century, and perhaps became established under the influence of authenti*c . AUGURIES OF INNOCENCE is the Blake poem that lead to these waters. http://westworld.wikia.com/wiki/Reveries Reveries are in opposite to augeries. > the reveries were intended as a way of increasing the complexity and believably of a host's behavior. They work by having access to old, supposedly purged, memories from previous roles or just previous days in a host's working life. The memories are not directly available to the host but can be accessed by the reveries gesture class before the storage space assigned to the memory is overwritten. Like augury is to seeking or divining the future. Reveries are like memories of a past life. These were perhaps the first seed of being able to break free consciously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverie_(TV_series) This TV show comes on this evening 6-6-18. the second episode title Bond, Jane Bond. The show is about a simulation that people can enter a dreamworld of their design. But the simulation becomes too real and the people get trapped in their fantasies. >Fidelity is the quality of faithfulness or loyalty. Its original meaning regarded duty in a broader sense than the related concept of fealty. Both derive from the Latin word fidēlis, meaning "faithful or loyal". In the City of London financial markets it has traditionally been used in the sense encompassed in the motto "My word is my bond". >In the fields of scientific modeling and simulation, fidelity refers to the degree to which a model or simulation reproduces the state and behavior of a real world object, feature or condition. Fidelity is therefore a measure of the realism of a model or simulation.[1] Simulation fidelity has also been described in the past as "degree of similarity".[2] In quantum mechanics and optics,[3] the fidelity of a field is calculated as an overlap integral of the field of interest with a reference or target field. In west-world The Human mind androids are tested for fidelity as in can they tell their mind is simulated.... Which is the opposite of REVERIE as the FIDELITY is too good and people are getting stuck in the simulation. Its quite beautiful the juxtaposition present. People choosing to be in a simulation and people realizing they are in a simulation against their will. Speaking of Fidelity, it seems that has been breaking down rather nicely in my reality, Its so hard to write out because it just keeps accumulating but here are some of today's discoveries. I mentioned above that I found the atoll that is close too the antipode of Mecca. I noticed the rows of coconut trees. And the wiki talked about nuclear testing going on in the area. A user commented with the idea the “Bikini Bottom” In spongebob square pants was an allusion to that island/atoll. So I look into it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll#/media/File%3AFlag_of_Bikini_Atoll.svg The first thing I notice is this flag..... WTF is going on with this flag https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/mh-xbn.html >The 23 white stars in the field of blue in the upper left hand corner of the flag represent the islands of Bikini Atoll. The three black stars in the upper right of the flag represent the three islands that were vaporized by the March 1, 1954, 15 megaton hydrogen bomb blast, code named Bravo. The two black stars in the lower right hand corner represent where the Bikinians live now, Kili Island, 425 miles to the south of Bikini Atoll, and Ejit Island of Majuro Atoll. These two stars are symbolically far away from Bikini's stars on the flag as the islands are in real life (both in distance and quality of life). The Marshallese words running across the bottom of the flag, "MEN OTEMJEJ REJ ILO BEIN ANIJ" [Translation: "Everything is in the hands of God."], represent the words spoken in 1946 by the Bikinian leader, Juda, to U.S. Commodore Ben Wyatt when the American went to Bikini to ask the islanders -- on a Sunday after church -- to give up their islands for the 'good of all mankind' so that the U.S. could test nuclear weapons. The close resemblance of the Bikinian's flag to the flag of the United States is to remind the people and the government of America that a great debt is still owed by them to the people of Bikini." A very interesting story. And the metaphor of them making it look like the USA flag to shame the USA is pretty clever. But the name is what is mind blowing. The island's English name is derived from the German colonial name Bikini given to the atoll when it was part of German New Guinea. The German name is transliterated from the Marshallese name for the island, Pikinni, ([pʲi͡ɯɡɯ͡inʲːii̯]), Pik" meaning "surface" and "Ni" meaning "coconut", or surface of coconuts. Remember above when I found the island of coconuts that was an atoll 500 miles from the Marshall islands where the name of the land is a “Surface of Coconuts” and how that part of the world was used by France for their nuclear testing. So what about bikinis that people wear. >Fashion designer Jacques Heim from Paris released a two-piece swimsuit design in 1946 that he named the Atome. Like swimsuits of the era, it covered the wearer's navel, and it failed to attract much attention. Parisian automotive engineer and designer Louis Réard introduced his design soon after.[3] His skimpy design was risque, exposing the wearer's navel and much of her buttocks. No runway model would wear it, so he hired a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris to model it at a review of swimsuit fashions. He named the swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll, where the first public test of a nuclear bomb had taken place only four days before. >In May 1946, Jacques Heim produced a two-piece swimsuit that he named the "Atome," which he advertised as the world's "smallest bathing suit".[4][5] The bottom of Heim's swimsuit was just large enough to cover the wearer's navel. To promote his new design, Heim hired skywriters to fly above the Mediterranean resort advertising the Atome as "the world’s smallest bathing suit."[6][7][8] ATOME you mean like ATOM BOMB? Also french for ATOM. Which was the smallest thing known about by a majority of people >Réard quickly produced his own swimsuit design which was a string bikini consisting of four triangles made from only 30 square inches (194 cm2) of fabric printed with a newspaper pattern.[2] When Réard sought a model to wear his design at its debut presentation, none of the usual models would wear the suit, so he hired 19-year-old nude dancerMicheline Bernardini[9] from the Casino de Paris to model it.[10] >He introduced his new swimsuit, which he named the bikini, to the media and public in Paris on 5 July 1946[11] at Piscine Molitor, a popular public pool in Paris at the time.[12][13] >He introduced his design four days after the first test of a nuclear weapon at the . The newspapers were full of news about it and Reard hoped for the same with his design. Not to be outdone by Heim, Réard hired his own skywriters to fly over the [French Riviera](advertising his design as "smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world." Photographs of Bernardini and articles about the event were widely carried by the press. The [International Herald Tribune] alone ran nine stories on the event. Who knew the battle for tiny swimming cloth supremacy could be so explosive. And what a peculiar reason for a naming convention from ATOME too BIKINI because we blew up atome bombs on the lands covered in coconuts...... One place by the french and the other by America. Well folks every day that passes another dumptruck of syncs and links within the research pop up. This one has been hella entertaining for me though. Ill end this with the peak of the journey so far. As always it starts with a search. I somehow came across this movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129885/) I had never seen this movie in all my researches into dog-star or Sirius. (of which were numerous). I asked my sync friend and they too had never seen it, both of us avidly searching. So I google “Dogstar 1997 trailer” and what stands out like a sore thumb is this. (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIO8DSq0tNXauo8RJbzpdOYAGdU-VNrOD) “Orion (Mighty hunteNimrod) and Sirius Dogstar OZ(iris) “ I stared at the name and the content of the playlists. Getting hit with so many pings, so many videos I had seen or mentioned in my previous posts. That was when I noticed the Link in the Playlist description. (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ybf_O2QE37Y/UzMVmXsyMGI/AAAAAAAAiOg/pKcGoEdpXjQ/s1600/23+dr+sirius+leary.jpg) I had to stand up when I saw this as earlier this month I made this! https://imgur.com/GBwe8un Mine is a bit convoluted as you can see but the two images He used were in the same order as mine. I could feel the frission, hairs standing on back of your neck. I saw that her had other playlists. (https://www.youtube.com/useKyleBemmann/playlists) Looking here you can see there are the various playlists are like archetypes or symbol groupings seen in moves music ect. So I was like has this guy posted any videos. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_URF6susdSU&t=106s) Opens with the Smile and Frown of the Shakespearean stage. Then shows that the park was built by free-masons. I check the date..... The video was posted 11 hours before I found it. Youtube channel in existence since 2010 http://goo.gl/Kxm8ud. This was on his about page..... He appears to have put a large amount of work and effort into sharing. And the particular series of events in finding his channel and then realizing he just posted 8 years after he made his account and that day being 6-6....... Ive been compiling this for three days and yet there is so much more, take any thread and pull and you are sure to find something. Keep seeking friends the answers are out there.
MAME 0.188 comes to you with tales of perseverance, blind luck, and the kind of insanity you’d get from no-one else. By sheer chance, a DECO Cassette system Brian Troha picked up cheap happened to come with a set of graphics ROMs for Explorer. While the Explorer program cassette was dumped sixteen long years ago, the graphics ROMs have proved elusive until now. We can finally all enjoy this Tempest-inspired title from the early ’80s. After much effort and rendering several boards inoperable, Peter Wilhelmsen and Morten Shearman Kirkegaard successfully extracted the programs from the DS5002FP protection modules on Gaelco World Rally 2 and Touch & Go. Yet another seemingly impenetrable protection scheme has been been emulated. Persistence has paid off. This is also a boon for people wishing to repair Gaelco games that have ceased to function after the lithium cell in the protection module has failed. After extracting the program from a working board, it’s possible to reprogram other boards running the same game. As for MAMEdev-brand insanity, we are (to the best of our knowledge) the world’s first and only emulator for the INTELLEC® 4. This system was used to develop software for Intel’s earliest microprocessor family, the 4004 and 4040. We’ve even put together a user manual of sorts if by chance you want to see what interactive debugging was like in the ’70s. It has lots of fun LEDs and switches! Fans of handheld LCD games will be pleased to see the steady stream of improvements: 0.188 adds support for several Konami and Tiger handhelds, and vector backgrounds have been added for Game & Watch titles Mario Bros, Mickey & Donald, and Cement Factory. On the arcade side, we’ve added support for Operation Wolf SC, a version of the military-themed shooter Operation Wolf with reduced difficulty intended for small cabinets located in shopping centres (hence the SC). Children could stay out of trouble storming concentration camps and powder magazines while their parents shopped in peace. Another interesting addition from Taito’s history is a very rare prototype of Bubble Bobble on Tokio hardware. It has different graphics and music, and includes a functional stage editor. Of course we’ve added an assortment of clones as usual, including versions of Act-Fancer, Kageki, Logger, Solar Assault, Street Fighter II, Taisen Idol-Mahjong Final Romance 2, and Xevious 3D/G. I’ll finish by mentioning that save states and scheduled exits should now work properly in Emscripten builds (thanks to James Baicoianu), colours are fixed for Time Limit and Omega (thanks to ShouTime dumping the PROMs), and ROM identification (-romident verb) is even faster (under ten seconds on my old notebook). You can get the source/Windows binaries from the download page and try it out.

MAME 0.188 comes to you with tales of perseverance, blind luck, and the kind of insanity you’d get from no-one else. By sheer chance, a DECO Cassette system Brian Troha picked up cheap happened to come with a set of graphics ROMs for Explorer. While the Explorer program cassette was dumped sixteen long years ago, the graphics ROMs have proved elusive until now. We can finally all enjoy this Tempest-inspired title from the early ’80s. After much effort and rendering several boards inoperable, Peter Wilhelmsen and Morten Shearman Kirkegaard successfully extracted the programs from the DS5002FP protection modules on Gaelco World Rally 2 and Touch & Go. Yet another seemingly impenetrable protection scheme has been been emulated. Persistence has paid off. This is also a boon for people wishing to repair Gaelco games that have ceased to function after the lithium cell in the protection module has failed. After extracting the program from a working board, it’s possible to reprogram other boards running the same game. As for MAMEdev-brand insanity, we are (to the best of our knowledge) the world’s first and only emulator for the INTELLEC® 4. This system was used to develop software for Intel’s earliest microprocessor family, the 4004 and 4040. We’ve even put together a user manual of sorts if by chance you want to see what interactive debugging was like in the ’70s. It has lots of fun LEDs and switches! Fans of handheld LCD games will be pleased to see the steady stream of improvements: 0.188 adds support for several Konami and Tiger handhelds, and vector backgrounds have been added for Game & Watch titles Mario Bros, Mickey & Donald, and Cement Factory. On the arcade side, we’ve added support for Operation Wolf SC, a version of the military-themed shooter Operation Wolf with reduced difficulty intended for small cabinets located in shopping centres (hence the SC). Children could stay out of trouble storming concentration camps and powder magazines while their parents shopped in peace. Another interesting addition from Taito’s history is a very rare prototype of Bubble Bobble on Tokio hardware. It has different graphics and music, and includes a functional stage editor. Of course we’ve added an assortment of clones as usual, including versions of Act-Fancer, Kageki, Logger, Solar Assault, Street Fighter II, Taisen Idol-Mahjong Final Romance 2, and Xevious 3D/G. I’ll finish by mentioning that save states and scheduled exits should now work properly in Emscripten builds (thanks to James Baicoianu), colours are fixed for Time Limit and Omega (thanks to ShouTime dumping the PROMs), and ROM identification (-romident verb) is even faster (under ten seconds on my old notebook). You can get the source/Windows binaries from the download page and try it out.

For my first trip, I told my gf about my plan to take them and we set a day when she could come over to trip sit me. She doesn't have any experience with them and I was kind of nervous about what to expect. I felt comfort knowing she would be around just to be sure I was ok. Prior to that day, I had no experience with any psychedelics. Having listened to various Terence McKenna lectures, I was thinking of jumping straight for the 5g (heroic dose). I decided to play it safe for the first time. I'm a short guy 5'7 weigh 130 lbs. Wasn't sure how dosage would effect my small frame. I went with 2 grams. Oh can someone help me identify them? Friday 5:00 pm I had some orange juice on hand in case I didn't like the taste. I grab a small piece to taste it but surprisingly I thought they were alright. I grab a few more. Wait a little bit, then a few more. Wait. After about 5 minutes, I finished the 2g. I knew I had maybe 30 minutes so I take a quick shower. After shower, I go into the kitchen to help my gf with her physics homework. I remember I have to a short online quiz due. So I hop on my laptop, knock out the quiz. Then I go back to helping. 5:45ish pm Around 5:45 I start feeling nauseous and little dizzy. I drink some oj and after few minutes it passes. Then it seems like the room got brighter. I start feeling warm inside and pretty relaxed. For some reason I start giggling realizing that it's kicking in. My gf looks over at me like and to ask what's so funny. I tell her, "I think it's kicking in." while trying to stop the giggles. I looked out the window, and the blinds seemed to be pulsing in sync with my heart beat. I looked down at the table and same thing. Everything I looked at seemed to have a pulsing effect. I noticed if I kept staring, the pulsing would get larger and larger and seemed to move closer to me. Everything in my kitchen seemed to be growing when I would look at it. 6:00ish pm I start feeling kind of like when I've had too much to drink. Like everything is spinning. I feel nauseous again. So I drunkenly go to my room to lay down. My gf and I start watching some Bob's Burgers. I'm now seeing colors for the first time. They are super saturated, it makes my eyes water. The nausea goes away. 6:30 pm We start on the next episode. By this point my vision was pretty distorted. The colors were morphing and dancing so much I couldn't see the characters anymore. Maybe like 10 minutes into the episode, internet gets disconnected and the remaining part of the episode didn't load. Screen turns black. My gf and I are cuddling, didnt really mind resuming the show. We just lay there for a bit. Then I hear a voice near the back of my mind. Someone shouted "Hey, want to see something cool?" He tells me to look up. I stare at the ceiling and I see the most intricate mandala made of geometric shapes originate from my fan. It quickly spreads across the whole ceiling. It was a shade of pink and green. It is spinning in sync with the fan and pulsing. Even more technical designs start sprouting behind the initial layer. As new layers start appearing, the ceiling feels like its getting lower. I begin to feel a little claustrophobic. The mandala was growing so much and spinning so much that I start to see eyes emerge. Hundreds of eyes are spinning in and out of existence from this mandala. The eyes then start to develop a worm like body and transform into snakes. The only barrier between me and the snakes is the intial layer of the mandala that has been pulsing closer and closer to me. I start to feel really scared about these snakes. I sit up and my gf asks, "what's wrong?" I tell her I'm scared about these snakes coming down from the ceiling, they do not look friendly. I ask her if she can leave the room until I figure out if it's safe. While I'm talking to her, I hear that initial voice saying "it's ok to be afraid but we aren't done yet" He says, "follow me" Guessing 7 pm? No idea Gf gets up and goes into the kitchen. And I turn off all tv and all the lights except a lamp near my bed. I get under all my blankets and try to catch up to this voice in my head. I close my eyes, and it feels like I'm entering a dream. I see a figure in a small paddle boat through a thick jungle. I start running next the the river trying to catch up. Not wanting to be left alone out here. Not sure how I end up on the paddle boat, but now I'm alone approaching the end of the river trail. I get off the paddle boat and walk into the jungle. Following a clearly marked trail to the top of the mountain. As I approached the top, there were heads lined up along the trail leading to a stone statue of a female goddess. I reach the statue and she comes to life. She seemed to be made of the jungle. I remember she was very green. She asks me if I know who she is. I say, "no." She tells me, she created everything I see and many people like me (implying people on shrooms) have met her. She says just as easily as she created everything, she could end it. She flicks a finger and everything in the path of her finger disappears. She flicks pieces of my surroundings away and soon I'm floating in nothingness. She turns to me and starts flicking my body away from me. I was left there as an orange orb of energy/consciousness. She disappeared as she showed me all the people she's done this too. I look around and I am surround by millions of orbs in every direction. I feel human self panicking. Unable to do anything. But watch the orbs around me continue multiply. My orb self starts spinning in circles trying to break out of this loop. I keep spinning and spinning in place like sonic the hedgehog and eventually my mind breaks out of the orange orb that contained me. Now i really start panicking. I'm thinking I what am i going to do. I lost my body. I lost my orb protecting my consciousness. I'm nothing floating in nothingness. I try to open my eyes to check that I'm still human but by this point my room is dark. I have blackout shades and I dont remember when I turned my light off. Opening my eyes does nothing. I can't tell if Im trapped in this dream. I start fearing that I might be stuck here. And then a human sized cat, walks up to me and tells me "you're doing it wrong." I was still spinning in circles. She stops me and takes a chunk out of the space where I perceive my consciousness to be. And she throws it up into a display like a deck of cards. I can see that each card is a frame into every memory I've ever had. That calms me down and I manage to sit up and turn my lamp on. I get up to get water, my gf asks how I am. I said, "I'm getting hungry but if i eat, ill be human again." I drink water and am heading back in my room but she says i should eat. She heats of some left over kbbq I had and I eat. 9:30 pm After that, I still had some visuals when I laid back down but much more mild and incoherent. Didnt flow like a story anymore. I would get random thoughts looping in my head. At 9:45, i called time. I was mostly sober and left confused over what I had experienced.
William Shakespeare, Cetacean stranding, and the Bikini bomb.
Ok folks. Lets go over some wild syncs. As some of you know I have been looking into 666 the number of beast and man. https://imgur.com/F3zCiRw First I discovered the 3 distance calculations Then looked into the peculiarities of the conversion rate between meters and Nautical miles. Then I leaned about Earths Axis. How the tilt creates seasons and Wobbles between between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. So the angle of the axis is in relation to the Sun. 23.4 degrees currently 234+432= 666 but also in the form of redundancy is 90 degrees-23.4degrees is 66.6degrees Then I learned how the angle of the line created when you connect the Kaaba of mecca to the temple mount is the same angle of the earths axial tilt 23.4 degrees with a 66.6 degree to the equator. Then I learned that Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 13X18 =432....... added too its mirror 234=666 As shown in the Axial 23.4 to 666 measure. After this I thought “What is the 666th verse of the bible. Gen 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. In seeing this and seeing not only a number but the same syntax as before, the 100s 10s and 1s places independently. 25X7= 175 which is the number of years of Abraham's life, told too us within the 666th verse. Then while flying around on google earth I found the circular measurement tool. I learned that if you take the circle to the other side of the globe you can find the opposite side of the earth, which I then shortly learned was called an “Antipode”. https://www.reddit.com/C_S_T/comments/8o40mt/abrahamkabbaantipodes_and_666/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=user&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=frontpage In searching for land on the opposite sides of the earth from particular points EVERY point I put in prior too Mecca was in the ocean. Mecca's antipode was also in the ocean but only 30 miles from land. I found signs of in habitation on the island in the form of grids of trees, Sure enough in the 1966, Catholic missionary Father Victor Valleys mentioned in a letter to his bishop that he had planted 135,000 coconut trees on the islands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tematagi I then found that 175 nuclear bombs were tested in this area. I thought that was interesting in regard to the 666th verse gen 25x7= 175 and 175 is the number in the text. Metaphorically this becomes even more interesting when you realize if heaven is residing above mecca then, the antipode of mecca's sky would be the gates of hell. Bombing the gates of hell with 1 nuke for every year of Abraham life sounds a lot like a 21 gun salute. So to find next that Abraham and Isaac BUILT the kaaba. http://www.light-of-truth.com/666/KJV.html The 666th chapter from the end of the bible is Psalm 46..... Seeing this got me giddy as this is one of my favorite biblical quirks. It looks as if they were extra redundant about it as its the KJV of the bible has it on the 666th page. But this isn't the most incredible part. The king James version of the bible released in 1611 “Around” William Shakespeare's 46th birthday. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE is an anagram for “HERE WAS I LIKE A PSALM”. But that isn't all. If you look for the 46th word from the beginning you get Shake in the KJV (Totter, and tremble) are other versions words. Then you take the 46th word from the end you get Spear. This is getting stranger and stranger is it not? The more you meditate on this data the more confusing it becomes. http://biblehub.com/hebrew/7493.htm http://biblehub.com/hebrew/2595.htm These are the 2 words in question from the Psalm. So you can be certain that the original text was arranged this way and translated this way. The riddle is deep as you have to ask which came first? WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR-THE ORGINAL BIBLE- THE KJV. The presence of the anagram by itself is a fun coincidence but the words shake and spear ALSO to be encoded an EXACT and Particular Psalm, one that echoes the years of Shakespeare at that time. http://www.light-of-truth.com/Freemasonry/Bacon911.htm Seeing this author post this on 6-6-06 linking Shakespeare to 9-11 is stark and powerful to me. As I write this it is 11:58pm 6-5-18. I wonder if I can finish before tomorrow lol. Seeing that Obama read Psalm 46 on the 10th anniversary of 9-11 is quite chilling in the regards of the 666 position and Shakespeares/Bacons “Clue” Also chilling that there is a large body of work linking OBAMA to 666 http://www.pacificrimbible.com/books/Obama%20and%20the%20Number%206.pdf While many will say you can torture the numbers to get what you want but you can see we aren't talking just numbers, there are many contextual and historical clues, and there is certainly a “CREATIVE” force involved. Like its just a damn good movie that we are all in. Which leads me into the SYNCHRONICTY portion of the post. I have been traveling down the path of the Man in Black. LOST, West-world, and The Dark Tower series in particular. I am also reading the comic book series Promethea, which I highly recommend if you are interested in the occult philosophies and kabbalah rich world of the land of imagination. I had a peculiar Tarot card sync via 3 separate mediums.1st I got an RPG called Pillars Of Eternity 2 and I made my character and I end up sitting in front of a table with tarot cards after doing so. 2nd I got to the part in promethea where she is traveling the paths of the tree of life. In the Kabbalah the lines between the Spheres or Sephiroth are attributed to a tarot card. I finished up reading that night with the Tower card. 3rd Was the final confrontation with the Man in black where he meets with the Man and he gives Roland a tarot reading also drawing the Tower. These 3 tarot PINGS were in the span of 15 or 16 hours. Season 2 episode 7 came on sunday and I awoke to a message from my sync friend detailing their wild sync chain brought on by “William Blakes Augeries of Innocence” being spoken by Anthony Hopkins character. I wont detail her sync chain but its funny because when I watched the show the quote didn't really stand out as much.but my friend bringing attention to it hit me like a ton of bricks. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43650/auguries-of-innocence Theres the poem for those interested I wont break it down but there are some startling pings in the text. “The number of the beast is 666” is the name of a William Blake painting as a part of a series. And when I saw the link I flipped, In the movie Red Dragon Anthony Hopkins plays Hannibal Lectere and he is helping to hunt down the tooth fairy. There is a scene in that movie that always stood out as damn peculiar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJZlg3jRQOw So nice they made it TWICE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyWGjGdg7s4 Note the man opposite the red dragon is William Graham (which is common enough of a name but still.) Hopkins and the man in black (Ed Harris) WW are also 2 men opposite from each other where one creates a puzzle and the other has to figure it out. The maze is the goal. Which means to me that the maze and the process of findings one way is the treasure there isn't ONE thing at the end. The dark tower novel has Roland Deschain playing opposite of The man in Black, the main in black also setting the stage for rolands “awakening to the multitudes of realities” Leaving obstacles and challenges to sharpen the man like stone to blade. http://www.generationterrorists.com/quotes/the_dark_tower_the_gunslinger_size.shtml This is the ending I witnessed. Not really the end, but a explanation of the world.
"Imagine the sand of the Mohaine Desert, which you crossed to find me, and imagine a trillion universes - not worlds by universes - encapsulated in each grain of that desert; and within each universe an infinity of others. We tower over these universes from our pitiful grass vantage point; with one swing of your boot you may knock a billion billion worlds flying off into darkness, a chain never to be completed.”
To See a world in a grain of sand. Looking at a single point there is yet infinitude's of complexity and creativity abound. This is when my Sync friend said CETEACEAN STRANDING. I immediately thought of DEATHS STRANDING and also the song “do the strand” was playing when James Delos danced his little dance in west-world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2nuHEGhwiw At 2:09 is the beached whales that pinged my memory. When I pulled up the video I almost knocked my seat over as the trailer opens with “Augeries of innocence” by WILLIAM BLAKE!!!!! the same quote that was stated by Anthony Hopkins in Westworld as well as a version quoted by the Man in Black. Whales are divided into two main categories toothed whales and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baleen_whale MYSTICETI or MYSTIC ETI (extra terrestrial intelligence.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism
Mystic: a person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect. "Mysticism" is derived from the [Greek] μυω, meaning "I conceal", and its derivative μυστικός, [mystikos]
, meaning 'an initiate'. The verb μυώ has received a quite different meaning in the Greek language, where it is still in use. The primary meanings it has are "induct" and "initiate". Secondary meanings include "introduce", "make someone aware of something", "train", "familiarize", "give first experience of something" It certainly feel like I am undergoing some form of initiation, with the universe,history and human creations to light various clues. The ETI present in the whales is funny for a multitude of reasons. ETI. Stands for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. This is funny for a couple reasons. One is that they WERE terrestrial creatures,or rather they evolved from Land mammals and adapted the blowhole functionality. Extra Terrestrial is right lol, and intelligent, yeah they are that too. http://www.bigear.org/CSMO/HTML/CS06/cs06p02.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly John C. Lilly is a fascinating character and Cetacean scholar. But more than that hes know for his studies into consciousness and coincidence.
Lilly was interested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. In 1961 a group of scientists including Lilly gathered at the Green Bank Observatory to discuss the possibility of using the techniques of radio astronomy to detect evidence of intelligent life outside the solar system. They called themselves The Order of the Dolphin after Lilly's work with dolphins. They discussed the Drake equation, used to estimate the number of communicative civilizations in our galaxy.[ In 1974, Lilly's research using various psychoactive drugs led him to believe in the existence of a certain hierarchical group of cosmic entities, the lowest of which he later dubbed Earth Coincidence Control Office (E.C.C.O.) in an autobiography published jointly with his wife Antonietta (often called Toni). To elaborate, "There exists a Cosmic Coincidence Control Center (CCCC) with a Galactic substation called Galactic Coincidence Control (GCC). Within GCC is the Solar System Control Unit (SSCU), within which is the Earth Coincidence Control Office (ECCO).
The search for ETI's lead by “The Brotherhood of the Dolphin” coincidence control center which brings us back to bikini bottom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGdy8z7dCe4 Bubbles the one who Watches. The dolphin in charge of making sure the universe is kept straight. I had already had a stunning synchronicity regarding death stranding which probably kept in my easily accessed memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Hy96sOnq8 This trailer opens with Norman Reedus on the ground with a uniform on. The number on the uniform is 0914-137. the 0914 stood out synchromystically on a personal level for me as it was the first number sequence I had ever memorized (other than my grandmothers phone number) This number was the birthdate of my stepmothers father and her father passed away shortly after the wedding and they had gotten a security system for the house and coded the entry code too be 0914. 137 is another significant number as it relates to the Fine structure Constant. And the TENGRI 137 rabbit hole. 137 is also the “Main” or original universe in Rick and Morty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Hy96sOnq8 at 3:33 you meet the bad guy of deaths stranding Mads Mikelson. WHO is also HANNIBAL LECTERE. Today I started 'The drawing of the Three” the second book in the dark tower series. It opens up with our hero on a beach with the waves lapping up at him. He ends up being chased by a “Lobstrocity” down the STRAND. I noticed the reader said STRAND 3 times on the beach scene and I looked up what it meant. That is when I learned that strand was a synonym for beach. This is how this stuff works. I experience a thing, research the thing and then experience a thing that directly references the whole process and connects it back to the other strands. Yesterday I learned about RONALD WILSON REAGAN and the silly 666 connection because each name has 6 letters. This '”fact” is used or makes the facts im showing look similar in that its silly just because a man has 6 letters in each name that he is evil. Then I learned that RONALD moved into 666 St Cloud rd Los Angeles. They changed the address to 668 for hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia's sake. Or rather that 666 is evil? hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia Is the fear of the number 666. Which is intriguing as you think of the Truman show and the use of FEAR to control the TRUEMAN from awakening to the truth of his reality. They had to keep him on the island, they used his fear of dogs and had him “Lose his father” in a storm just to never get him to try again. Then I notice the obvious ROLAND RONALD. Which is amusing in light of the William Shakespeare (here was I like a psalm) finding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blake
When William was ten years old, his parents knew enough of his headstrong temperament that he was not sent to school but instead enrolled in drawing classes at Pars's drawing school in the Strand.
Theres that STRAND once again akin to a thread of a tapestry that when you trace back to the source you can begin to see something great and complex forming. My Sync friend says “WILLIAM BLAKESPEAR” and of course I giggled at the obviousness of it. Also to to note WILLIAM is the man in black in WW the man in BLAKe. But there is a lot more that connects west-world to Shakespeare. As a quote from Shakespeare is the catalyst or codephrase that starts the “awakening” process for the “hosts/robots”. These violent delights have violent ends. Is from a Romeo and juliet Scene. Peter Abernathy is the HOST with the world in his mind. All of the data of the park is contained within and needed on the outside. http://westworld.wikia.com/wiki/Literary_references It appears the references haven't gone under he noses of the fans of West World. https://www.refinery29.com/2017/08/166480/westworld-dark-tower-movie-connections-time-maze and the connections from darktower too westworld have been noticed as well. The following Ford quote is from Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818): "One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire." - Robert Ford (to [Bernard Lowe] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgqOiJcRIIM) This is Frankenstein's monster reading the same quote that Anthony Hopkins read in West-world. Just another little sync in a beautiful and fascinating web of truth. The connection from Will to Will (blake to shake) is alot more solid however. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pity_(William_Blake)) I am brought too pity when I think of Death stranding https://www.pcgamer.com/kojima-a-baby-and-william-blake-an-attempt-to-analyze-death-stranding/ http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3467/ then you have others linking The 2 Wills. http://www.shakespearemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/image1.jpeg Here is a painting of Will to Will. So having painted a collection of Shakespeare's works shows there is some connection. So now I want to dive deeper into the Francis Bacon and Shakespeare connection and that Bacon/shakespeare/Tudor heir to throne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZdqd5El5Y4 This video shows the process of finding the cipher that Baconspeare utilized in his works. The cipher proven time and time again.and its always so elegant and metaphorically artistic. With works like this there is the content which is INCREDIBLE but the WAY in which it was found is more improbable. Seeing the word AUTHOR pop up repeatedly in the ciphers I looked up the etymology.
Middle English (in the sense ‘a person who invents or causes something’): from Old French autor, from Latin* auctor, from augere ‘increase, originate, promote.’ The spelling with th arose in the 15th century, and perhaps became established under the influence of authenti*c .
the reveries were intended as a way of increasing the complexity and believably of a host's behavior. They work by having access to old, supposedly purged, memories from previous roles or just previous days in a host's working life. The memories are not directly available to the host but can be accessed by the reveries gesture class before the storage space assigned to the memory is overwritten.
Like augury is to seeking or divining the future. Reveries are like memories of a past life. These were perhaps the first seed of being able to break free consciously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverie_(TV_series This TV show comes on this evening 6-6-18. the second episode title Bond, Jane Bond. The show is about a simulation that people can enter a dreamworld of their design. But the simulation becomes too real and the people get trapped in their fantasies.
Fidelity is the quality of faithfulness or loyalty. Its original meaning regarded duty in a broader sense than the related concept of fealty. Both derive from the Latin word fidēlis, meaning "faithful or loyal". In the City of London financial markets it has traditionally been used in the sense encompassed in the motto "My word is my bond". >In the fields of scientific modeling and simulation, fidelity refers to the degree to which a model or simulation reproduces the state and behavior of a real world object, feature or condition. Fidelity is therefore a measure of the realism of a model or simulation.[1] Simulation fidelity has also been described in the past as "degree of similarity".[2] In quantum mechanics and optics,[3] the fidelity of a field is calculated as an overlap integral of the field of interest with a reference or target field. In west-world The Human mind androids are tested for fidelity as in can they tell their mind is simulated.... Which is the opposite of REVERIE as the FIDELITY is too good and people are getting stuck in the simulation. Its quite beautiful the juxtaposition present. People choosing to be in a simulation and people realizing they are in a simulation against their will.
Speaking of Fidelity, it seems that has been breaking down rather nicely in my reality, Its so hard to write out because it just keeps accumulating but here are some of today's discoveries. I mentioned above that I found the atoll that is close too the antipode of Mecca. I noticed the rows of coconut trees. And the wiki talked about nuclear testing going on in the area. A user commented with the idea the “Bikini Bottom” In spongebob square pants was an allusion to that island/atoll. So I look into it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll#/media/File%3AFlag_of_Bikini_Atoll.svg The first thing I notice is this flag..... WTF is going on with this flag https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/mh-xbn.html
The 23 white stars in the field of blue in the upper left hand corner of the flag represent the islands of Bikini Atoll. The three black stars in the upper right of the flag represent the three islands that were vaporized by the March 1, 1954, 15 megaton hydrogen bomb blast, code named Bravo. The two black stars in the lower right hand corner represent where the Bikinians live now, Kili Island, 425 miles to the south of Bikini Atoll, and Ejit Island of Majuro Atoll. These two stars are symbolically far away from Bikini's stars on the flag as the islands are in real life (both in distance and quality of life). The Marshallese words running across the bottom of the flag, "MEN OTEMJEJ REJ ILO BEIN ANIJ" [Translation: "Everything is in the hands of God."], represent the words spoken in 1946 by the Bikinian leader, Juda, to U.S. Commodore Ben Wyatt when the American went to Bikini to ask the islanders -- on a Sunday after church -- to give up their islands for the 'good of all mankind' so that the U.S. could test nuclear weapons. The close resemblance of the Bikinian's flag to the flag of the United States is to remind the people and the government of America that a great debt is still owed by them to the people of Bikini."
A very interesting story. And the metaphor of them making it look like the USA flag to shame the USA is pretty clever. But the name is what is mind blowing. The island's English name is derived from the German colonial name Bikini given to the atoll when it was part of German New Guinea. The German name is transliterated from the Marshallese name for the island, Pikinni, ([pʲi͡ɯɡɯ͡inʲːii̯]), Pik" meaning "surface" and "Ni" meaning "coconut", or surface of coconuts. Remember above when I found the island of coconuts that was an atoll 500 miles from the Marshall islands where the name of the land is a “Surface of Coconuts” and how that part of the world was used by France for their nuclear testing. So what about bikinis that people wear.
Fashion designer Jacques Heim from Paris released a two-piece swimsuit design in 1946 that he named the Atome. Like swimsuits of the era, it covered the wearer's navel, and it failed to attract much attention. Parisian automotive engineer and designer Louis Réard introduced his design soon after.[3] His skimpy design was risque, exposing the wearer's navel and much of her buttocks. No runway model would wear it, so he hired a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris to model it at a review of swimsuit fashions. He named the swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll, where the first public test of a nuclear bomb had taken place only four days before. In May 1946, Jacques Heim produced a two-piece swimsuit that he named the "Atome," which he advertised as the world's "smallest bathing suit".[4][5] The bottom of Heim's swimsuit was just large enough to cover the wearer's navel. To promote his new design, Heim hired skywriters to fly above the Mediterranean resort advertising the Atome as "the world’s smallest bathing suit."[6][7][8]
ATOME you mean like ATOM BOMB? Also french for ATOM. Which was the smallest thing known about by a majority of people
Réard quickly produced his own swimsuit design which was a string bikini consisting of four triangles made from only 30 square inches (194 cm2) of fabric printed with a newspaper pattern.[2] When Réard sought a model to wear his design at its debut presentation, none of the usual models would wear the suit, so he hired 19-year-old nude dancer Micheline Bernardini[9] from the Casino de Paris to model it.[10] He introduced his new swimsuit, which he named the bikini, to the media and public in Paris on 5 July 1946[11] at Piscine Molitor, a popular public pool in Paris at the time.[12][13] He introduced his design four days after the first test of a nuclear weapon at the . The newspapers were full of news about it and Reard hoped for the same with his design.
Not to be outdone by Heim, Réard hired his own skywriters to fly over the [French Riviera](advertising his design as "smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world." Photographs of Bernardini and articles about the event were widely carried by the press. The [International Herald Tribune] alone ran nine stories on the event. Who knew the battle for tiny swimming cloth supremacy could be so explosive. And what a peculiar reason for a naming convention from ATOME too BIKINI because we blew up atome bombs on the lands covered in coconuts...... One place by the french and the other by America. Well folks every day that passes another dumptruck of syncs and links within the research pop up. This one has been hella entertaining for me though. Ill end this with the peak of the journey so far. As always it starts with a search. I somehow came across this movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129885/) I had never seen this movie in all my researches into dog-star or Sirius. (of which were numerous). I asked my sync friend and they too had never seen it, both of us avidly searching. So I google “Dogstar 1997 trailer” and what stands out like a sore thumb is this. (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIO8DSq0tNXauo8RJbzpdOYAGdU-VNrOD) “Orion (Mighty hunteNimrod) and Sirius Dogstar OZ(iris) “ I stared at the name and the content of the playlists. Getting hit with so many pings, so many videos I had seen or mentioned in my previous posts. That was when I noticed the Link in the Playlist description. (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ybf_O2QE37Y/UzMVmXsyMGI/AAAAAAAAiOg/pKcGoEdpXjQ/s1600/23+dr+sirius+leary.jpg) I had to stand up when I saw this as earlier this month I made this! https://imgur.com/GBwe8un Mine is a bit convoluted as you can see but the two images He used were in the same order as mine. I could feel the frission, hairs standing on back of your neck. I saw that her had other playlists. (https://www.youtube.com/useKyleBemmann/playlists) Looking here you can see there are the various playlists are like archetypes or symbol groupings seen in moves music ect. So I was like has this guy posted any videos. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_URF6susdSU&t=106s) Opens with the Smile and Frown of the Shakespearean stage. Then shows that the park was built by free-masons. I check the date..... The video was posted 11 hours before I found it. Youtube channel in existence since 2010 http://goo.gl/Kxm8ud. This was on his about page..... He appears to have put a large amount of work and effort into sharing. And the particular series of events in finding his channel and then realizing he just posted 8 years after he made his account and that day being 6-6....... Ive been compiling this for three days and yet there is so much more, take any thread and pull and you are sure to find something. Keep seeking friends the answers are out there.
