The Synchromysticism of It's Not Night: It's Space and our Kickstarter Fund drive - Scarlet Summer 2012

Hello Friends, Kevin/Indra's Net here. Its been a while since I've gotten to the blog, for I have been pouring my energy into my first book and my bands first full length album, both of which I look forward to sharing with you all before this year is out.

Right now I am working with my band to raise the funds to release our first full length album. We have created a  Kickstarter video(above) to share a bit about who we are and what our mission is for this album. I'm sharing this post not only to reach out to any of you out there who resonate with our mission to share psychedelic music but also to share with us new ground up cultural bonds and goals, made possible for artists like us through Kickstarter. Check out our video above to see how you can help create this record with us and allow us to hit the studio this summer. You can simply pre-order our CD or Vinyl for a reasonable price as your donation, or you can donate as much as you are inspired to. We have 15 copies of the Sync Book as 15$ level donation rewards!  We are eternaly grateful for any donations and are honored to share this process. The prospect of putting out an album with the help of friends from all over the world whos support and inspiration both energetically an monetarily allows this album to exist, is truly exciting to us. Every penny goes right into the recording and materialization of this record, we only want to honor the music that comes into the world through us as vessels who are uceasingly inspired by this amazing universe we live in. Our fund-drive ends on June 14th, so if you are interested get involved in this record now! If we dont meet our goal we get nothing whatsoever.

I thought to myself it might be cool to reflect on some of the Sync we've shared as a band, and the overarching theme even taps into recent Sync Whole posts, which I'll touch on later in this post.

A screenshot from one of the first books I happened to pick up at my bandmates house upon meeting him. It reads "Sirius, Indra, and Nibiru... one and the same? When I opened this pic it was 666k

It was in 2009, shortly after my spurt of lengthy "Rainbow Bridge" synchronicities that I would end up meeting my now good friend and bandmate Mike the first time, we had really fun and psychically connected jams that surprised the both of us. After our jam I had a flip through his lovely book collection featuring subjects I shared interest in such as philosophy, fiction, alchemy, mysticism and art. One of the first books I picked up was called "The Lost Star" and I turned to a Chapter called "Sirius Indra and Nibiru".  This grabbed my attention as Indra is my chosen blogger name(for he is the god of the interconnected jewled web of all things) and Sirius is a classic sync node which my work has played with extensively. From the first time my bandmate and I started playing, it was as if our music was coming from somewhere else, from our first practice to this day we continue to have psychic musical communication and improvise music that seemingly writes itself through us.

In 2010 we would end up getting together with other musicians, some of whom didnt end up sticking with us in the long run. Mike said to me one weekend " I saw a dragonfly flying toward the Carpicorn constellation, our next bassplayer will be a Capricorn". And sure enough the next member to join our band was our buddy and bassplayer Tommy, and he is indeed a Capricorn. Thus completing has completing the Triad that is INN:IS.

We ended up naming our band "It's Not Night: It's Space", based on a story shared about a Star Wars conversation between my bandmate and his brother, wherein it was noted that while it is daytime on one planet, there is a dogfight happening in what appears to be night but is really just Space. The saying "It's Not Night: It's Space" arrives from considering the Earths relationship to the cosmos. Our name acknowledges the Capernican understanding that day and night are conditions particular to planet Earth and its rotation around the sun, so what we perceive as night, is really just earth being exposed to its true relationship to the ever present infinity of space.  When we consider night, were refe
rencing a finite earthly condition, what we call space is an infinite condition with its own story and paradigms limitless.

As a Thelemite I enjoyed this story and the idea behind the name contributed by our drummer, I immediately thought of what is called the "Good News" the new age declared by Aleister Crowley in 1904, embarking the New Aeon of the Crowned and Conquering Child.

". . .the crowned and conquering child, who dieth not, nor is reborn, but goeth radiant ever upon His Way. Even so goeth the Sun: for as it is now known that night is but the shadow of the Earth, so Death is but the shadow of the Body, that veileth his Light from its bearer." 

- (Heart of the Master - Aleister Crowley)

Mr.Crowleys Capernican assertion that although our bodies are given to us by and share the condition of Earths  cycles of death and birth, our Iam-ness is also given to us by the ever burning Eternal sun, whom we must also share some eternal condition with. The declaration of the New Aeon was an upgrade in consciousnesses subject and object relativity and the created new gnosis informed by the scientific and spiritual knowledge available at his time. Carl Jung who coined the term Synchronicity as a "meaningful coincidence" beleived that the synchronous aspect of life reveals that subject and object are interdependent and thus truely can only exist as one thing, a self referencing unity. .

I also noticed some Thelemic synchronicity with our band name in the "Vision and the Voice" by Aleister Crowley.

"the veil of the Aethyr is like the veil of night, dark azure, full of countless stars. And because the veil is infinite, at first one seeth not the winged globe of the sun that burneth in the centre thereof. Profound peace filleth me, — beyond ecstasy, beyond thought, beyond being itself, IAIDA. (This word means "I am", but in a sense entirely beyond being.)"...(continues)


We also happen to have a song called Iamness, featuring sounds and quotes from some thinkers we are inspired by.

"Yes; there is peace. There is no tendency of any sort, much less any observation or feeling or impression. There is only a faint consciousness, like the scent of jasmine.

The body of the Seer is rested in a waking sleep that is deeper than sleep, and his mind is still; he seems like a well in the desert, shaded by windless palms. 

And it is night; and because the night is the whole night of space, and not the partial night of earth,  there is no thought of dawn. . "  (Liber 418 - Aleister Crowley)

I would also later find out that the totally random drummer I connected with in New Paltz actually vacationed in Florida with my cousin for two weeks something like 8 years before we ever met and formed a band. It turned out that they met because they were the boyfriends of two sisters, whom would eventually invite their partners on said vacation. Later my bandmate would reconnect with my cousin and reminisce about their trip and the trippy connection they both have to eachother again through myself and our band.



One of the first songs we wrote is a song called VITRIOL. Which is an anagram for "Visita Interiore Tierre Rectificando Invienes Occultim Lapidem". Visit the interior parts of the Earth, rectify your energy there, and there you will find the Hidden Stone(of the Philosophers)". This Stone of the Philosophers has been said to be symbolized by a Rainbow Stone. VITRIOL basically is code for look inside yourself and you will find the key to your own happiness and wisdom. VITRIOL has also been referred to as the Acid that dissolves all, as well as the Elixir of Life, and is also analagous to the union acheived through the Alchemical Marriage and the process that allows for the Elixir that is Ayauasca to be brewed.

It was in Summer 2010 that I would end up traveling to Winnipeg to share the Summer Solstice and a few Cups of Ayauasca aka Vitriol with my dear g8or buddies Jake and Jim aka @Seallion and @Syncwinnipeg. My experience in Winnipeg was truely impactful and absolutely infused my life with energy an inspiration that I still feel to this day, and was chanelled to create our first EP "East of the Sun, West of the Moon". 

We had some beautiful Synchronicity in gathering artwork for our first record. We would end up coming across the rustic and mystical artwork of Travis Lawrence of Infinity Prints. He drew up an image of his choosing based on our music and delivered to us a rendition of the Alchemical Marriage of the King and Queen. Being interested in the Tarot and having much of my Sync work focused on the Rainbow Bridge and the 14th Tarot Trump Art, I was certainly satisfied with this cover design. Note below the word Latin anagram for Vitriol is spelled out on a Goleden Egg that is also a rainbow arch around the Moon Goddess Diana.

 Here we can see the Art Tarot Trump, symbolizing the Alchemy of Masculine and Feminine, Heaven and Earth, Spirit and Matter. This Trump/Path connects the Spheres of the Sun and Moon on the Tree of Life, and represents the consummation of the Achemical Marriage pictured in its Zodiacal opposite, Gemini-The Lovers. The Alchemical Egg featuring VITRIOL as a Rainbw, perfect. We were very satisfied by how the alchemical characters on our cover art synced with our Sun and Moon themed album, and for me was a perfect Sync with the Marriage of King Ayauasca and Queen Chacruna which produces the healing Vitriol Elixir brew shared by Shamans. This was also synchronistic because on our album we featured a sample from one of the Icaros of @Syncwinnipegs teacher Juan Flores, featured in Jims NOSIS documentary.

Juan Flores, the peruvian Shaman and teacher of our good buddy Jim. Juan is a big part of Jims documentary NOSIS and is also featured at the end of the It's Not Night: It's Space track above called "Iamness". Juan has explained that Ayauasca is an Alchemical Marriage as well.

Ayauasqueros Juan Flores and Jim Sanders. During my time in Winnipeg Jim performed two beautiful Ayahuasca ceremonies with me, he is a gifted natural Shaman and a beautiful singer.

For the back cover we had an even more Synchronistic contribution by our artist Travis. This was another alchemical peice, that of the Alchemical Egg, chosen by Travis without any infuence from us.

Travis had no idea that at one point in our writing period before our first EP I had an interesting Salvia experience-wherein I actually spoke with the character on my Aquarius Tarot card, the space goddess herself- Nuit. The card became a window into the psychedelic spiritual plane of reality, and suddenly I realized that she was speaking to me without words, Nuit would beckon me to create something beautiful, to  celebrate her joy and to share it with others. I replied "I will bring back friends!".

 At the time I was working on painting a foot tall sized Easter Egg, covering it with prayers and symbols from different wisdom traditions. I wanted to make this Egg something of a Talisman, a symbol for the universal current. Upon sharing my Nuit experience with my drummer, he thought, "maybe you should finish that Egg?"

I did finish the Egg, and we found it a grounding and proper center-peice for our practices and live shows. This Egg sorta became a symbol to us of our receptivity and dedication to the music that we receive from "parts unknown". The picture of it above is a shot of it accompanying us in the Studio for "East of the Sun & West of the Moon".

The Moon, the Egg, Vitriol, the Rainbow, were all swirling into our narrative quite naturally.Which brings us to our 2nd interesting Sync node in our story. The birth of our song Moon Goose.

We chronicled the Sync of having written a song called moon-goose and some of the strange coincidences that followed thereafter in the post "Momma Goose is on the Loose". Where we explored how INNIS was stargazing one night and noticed a large cloud near the Moon shaped like a Goose. A great song was birthed that night and we decided to honor this Moon Goose cloud spirit through our song. Starting that day a long ongoing string of Goose synchronicities did ensue.

When we walked out back we were both caught by the beutiful Crescent Moon, it was in a vertical position reminding me of a Horn, and was touched by the tail end of a Cloud. Looking at the Cloud I realized that this cloud looked like an amazingly detailed Goose taking flight, seemingly flying away from the Moon. We joked, its the Moon-Goose! and had a good laugh over it, deciding to title our latest song from sundown "MoonGoose".

I went to bed and the next Day I woke up and got myself some breakfast at the main street Bistro in New Paltz. I happened to unconsciously sit beneath a painting of a Goose being pulled over title "Your Goose is Cooked".

Later the next day I showed this to my bandmate and he was amazed to see the cop car as when he left my house the night we created MoonGoose he was pulled over and harassed by the Police, he was straight and sober and they accused him of being high, allergenic, and having watery eyes, while shining lights in his eyes and etc. We shared a jolly laugh over how silly the Goose and cop and suspected stoneyness entrained.

To my further Amazement later that night I decided to have a look at Goose September 2010 on Google to see what the collective metabrain had to offer about the Goose in 2010. As it turns out just a few days before MoonGoose was written, on August 30th 2010 Glenn Beck had a Synchromystic Contact event with Geese at the Lincoln Memorial which was modeled by the architect after the Roman Temple of Zues who was associated with the Planet Jupiter. Memorial in Washington DC on Martin Luther Kings " I have a Dream" Speech anniversary.





































This was wacky and strange, stranger was that Beck supposedly wanted to have Jets flyby in a V shape over as the Ceremonies began, he couldnt get permission. But what did happen was as the Ceremony began a flying V of Geese did a flyover, bringing Glenn Beck into a Synchromystic talk about how "This is No Coincidence! These are Gods Geese!". Steven Colbert caught wind of this and on September 7th, just 5 days before I saw the MoonGoose and made his own special on the Goose as a messenger/Prophet of God. Th this beleif is already held by Chinese mythology, which I will get into after sharing Colberts Goose Special.

So remembered recently also that I had been excited about the Equinox because Jupiter the Giant Orange Planet is its closest to Earth and thus Brightest in 47 years. This makes me happy because the Film "2010 The Year we Make Contact" features the Planet Jupiter becoming a 2nd Sun for Earth in the year 2010, this becoming a symbol of galactic peace and unity for the people of Earth. This also tickled my sync sensors because I had been entraining with how PEAChEs contains PEACE, and enjoyed how sweetness and Peace go together very well. Also tying this together better is that Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band said when asked about his stance on Revolution quote "There ain't no revolution, only evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I 'eat a Peach' for Peace."- Duane Allman

We can see the Moon+Goose on the Empress Tarot card, the card being the Object of Aleister Crowleys Poem "Peaches". This great bird is considered a Pelican according to Crowley, I see more of a Goose though, interestingly Crowley also wrote a Kabbalistic translation of Mother Goose. But here we see the Queen of the Peaches, the Underwater Empress on the Venus planetary Card. The beutiful thing about this card is that it is also one of the Major 22 Tarot cards attributed Hebrew letters, of which this card is given Daleth translating to DOOR. Crowley calls this card "The Door To Heaven" and "Heavens Gate". The Goose is the Peach is the Queen is the Door to Heaven.

I also recently read a Tweet from Jim Sanders @Syncwinnipeg on Twitter, reminding me that The Equinox (as I write this we are now in Libra but this started in Virgo) is not only the week of the most Giantness of Jupiter the Peach in 47 years but that it was also World Peace Day on the very next day September 21st! So we have Giant Peach Jupiter and World Peach Day, and as mentioned above to connect the Goose to the Peach its noted that in Ancient Chinese Mythology Geese are the Birds of "The Queen of the Immortal Peaches". Connecting our Glen Beck "Restoring Honor" God Geese Flyover narrative with the Equinox Giant Peach/MoonGoose narrative properly.


It doesnt stop there, on World Peace day (or World PEACH Day), a plane Emergenct Landed on Highway I-85 in Georgia. Georgia being home of the Peaches and contextually connected to Peace and Peaches by Duane Allmans Quote " I eat a Peach for Peace every time Im In Georgia".


"Kathleen Bergen with the Federal Aviation Administration said Matthew Conway was flying his six-passenger 1996 Piper Saratoga to Peachtree-DeKalb Airport shortly before 5 p.m. Monday when the engine failed over Interstate 85, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday."
-UPI

Our drummer mike happend to have a cool statue of a Chinese wise man, one who guards the Peaches of  Immortalithy.

I wondered turning the statue over, what other Sync symbols might entrain with the Peaches of Eternity.  

Sure enough I flipped the statue and it was stamped with the mark of Spirit, the Synchromystic 42.

 A few days later a loal paper printed an article about Geese issues in the village.

I noticed the Goose Free Suny part first, and then caught the authors email, Malter42, another cool Sync wink.

The Queen Mother of the West

In The Journey to the West, an important Medieval Chinese story, the Queen Mother of the West, tends the orchard where the Immortal Peaches grow." She is depicted surrounded by either flying winged-people or Geese. 


· In Ancient Egypt as well as in Ancient China the Goose was considered a messenger between Heaven and Earth. 


· In the Roman empire, the Goose was the sacred animal of Juno(wife of Jupiter!), a goddess of light, marriage and childbirth, who was later considered adviser and protectress of the Roman people.- http://www.sevenstarshiatsu.com.au/taichi/goose.html 
( from blog post "Momma Goose is on the Loose")


 We also explored how during the time of writing Moon Goose, we were inspired by the Giant Peach/Peace of Jupiter, which brings to mind Crowleys Poem about the Goddess, also known as the Empress of the Tarot, and Babalon. His poem about the Great Mother is called "Peaches".

Crowleys version of the Empress tarot card even appears to feature a Goose. It is likely a Swan which is a more common symbol of femininity, yet we can also think of the bird as Mother Goose, further entraining with The Great Mother/Babalon.

Here we can see how a modern Thoth tarot deck translation has the The Empress Tarot card(III), the Goddess, and a Swan(almost a Goose), the Great Mother, also known as the Scarlet Woman, Babalon, and Mother Goose(below). The Empress' hebrew letter is Daleth meaning Door. The Great Mother is the Door to Heaven.

The Empress, Trump number III= Mother Goose

A beautiful Tarological confirmation of the connection between the Goose, and the Great Mother. The Moon is the archetypal symbol of the Divine feminine, the Mother, and is recongnized as such by cultures and traditions spanning across time. The Peach

Continuing along with the Peach being "The Empress/Daleth/Door To Heaven, we can see In the film James and the Giant Peach, James approaches the Peach as a real time human being in the physical world, and upon entering the peaches heavens gate, which strongly looks like a birth canal and resonates the Yoni(as it is the Peach) he is brought into the world of Spirit.

As Jim Sanders pointed out on Twitter, climbing into the Giant Peachs hole or Heavens Gate which shows a darker deeper red/orange we can see how the Giant Peach resonates with Jupiter, the Largest planet in the Solar System that is Orange like a Peach, and has a large Red Spot on it. Magickally the Jupiter Peach transforms the Physical world into a world of living spirits and creatures. Speaking of the Giant Peach, this is very pertinant right now because Jupiter is at its closest to Earth in 47 years so it is also the biggest and brightest it will be, making it a Giant Peach! Notice the Yoni/Peach Hole/Heavens Gate of Jupiters Red Spot.

Another really fun sync was to find out it just so happens that a band called Moongoose was formed in recent years.

Strangely MoonGoose is Ex-Members of the band SPACE

How weird is that? MoonGoose is ex Members of the band SPACE

 Mother Goose/Mama Space seems to be calling out through our music and the related context.

To continue this theme of how we resonate with and attract the symbols of the cosmic feminine.

In 2011 we bought ourselves a used Church Van. To honor its previous incarnation we decided to make our van the "Church of our Lady of Space" shuttle, for fun. We dont really have a church, but hey if you love Space to your in it.

Now I mentioned I'm a Thelemite but im presently I'm not one with the kinda cash to spend on custom liscence plates, but as synchronicity would have it, the number of the Great Mother Goddess, 777, ended up on our liscense plate quite accordingly. I like how FST is kinda like fast too.

In the Astron Argon, or A.'.A.'., Aleister Crowleys initiatory system and fraternal order of which I am a member, 777 is recognized as the number of the Great Mother Goddess Babalon. Who is identified with all things divine feminine, the fertile earth, and the womb of space, and really every-thing..

" BABALON, as the Great Mother, represents MATTER, a word which is derived from the Latin word for Mother. She is the physical mother of each of us, the one who provided us with material flesh to clothe our naked spirits; She is the Archetypal Mother, the Great Yoni, the Womb of all that lives through the flowing of Blood; She is the Great Sea, the Divine Blood itself which cloaks the World and which courses through our veins; and She is Mother Earth, the Womb of All Life that we know. - Sabazeus and Helena" - Thelemapedia Babalon

Babalon and the Starcup can be seen on this Tarot trump. I think we will see our culture resonate more and more with the great mother goddess as we attune to the cycles of Age change during this 2012 season. Note the Purple for later. The Green revolution and the movements for equality are clear signs that we are resonating with the Great Mother. What the bible sees as the end of the world by the return of the Mother of Abominations, many occultists see as the prophecy of the return of the Goddess tradition and the end of the Piscean age, not the whole world. We are also reconencting with Lunar/Feminine time through the Mayan Calendar interests peaked by this years mythic quality. The Beast on which Babalon rides is not the anti-christ, but the Solar force, the father god. 666 is the sum total of numbers on the Magick cube for the Sun, and is not anything dark at all in fact. Our band has always noted the fact that we play heavy and loud music, but it is not purely male agressive force music like heavy metal, we have very feminine finesse to our grooves and melodies. We'd like to think our music is just the right balance of energy, Yin and Yang, or  Anima and Animus as Carl Jung would call it.

If we do our homework we can see that the return of the Lady in Red is not a bad thing at all, but just a reconnection and reharmonization with the Great Cosmic Feminine. 

from http://worldtruth.tv

"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

Revelation [17:4-17:5] 

 Heres some purple sync I've been noticing lately. The Purple sync actually started with a conversation between a friend and I about how sparkley purple would be rad for thevan, then I just saw it popping more an more.

Speaking of Babalon, whom is depicted as the Great Mother Goose/Goddess in the Empress Tarot Trump. Venus is in fact the planet given to this Tarot Card, Venus is Transiting in front of the Sun this week, thus we can now add Venus into this 2012 return of the Great Mother theme.

The Empress- The Tarot card of the Planet Venus(see her sheild) - The Mother Goddess.

Venus by Botticini, through her red hair and her association with the Goddess Cults of Greece we can also easily associate her with Babylon/Ishtar/Babalon the Scarlet Woman,.

"One of the goddesses associated with Babylonia was Ishtar, the most popular female deity of the Assyro-Babylonian pantheon and patron of the famous Ishtar Gate. She is the Akkadian counterpart to theSumerian Inanna and the cognate to the northwest Semitic goddess Astarte. The Greeks associated her with Aphrodite (Latin Venus), and sometimes Hera. Ishtar was worshipped as a Great Goddess of fertility and sexuality, but also of war and death, and the guardian of prostitutes. She was also called the Great Whore and sacred prostitution formed part of her cult or those of cognate goddesses. Many have associated Ishtar with the figure in the Book of Revelation of Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots and Abominations."- Wiki Babalon

Venus jis making big news in this Summer of Age Change. Venus will be making its transit across the face of the Sun in just a few days. How cool is that, The Goddess Venus getting as much attention as the sun in the Heavens in 2012. I perceive a great Sync here, as we read above the return of the Scarlet Woman is not something to fear for some folks, many perceive Johns Revelations as a Gnostic Vision of the return of the Great Mother Goddess in humanities spirituality again. 

Venus- The Scarlet Woman will be taking the stage this week as we see her Cross before the Sun. It is in this mythic year that many people beleive the end of the world as we know it could arrive, I find it interesting that Venus whom we can associate archetypically with the Goddess/the Scarlet Woman will be making her appearance about 6 months before the last day of the Mayan Calendar. Many say that the Earth is planning to purge itself of humanities messes through an onslaught of natural disasters in this year. I personally do not think this is the case necessarily, but I do beleive we are having a more conscious and dramatic affect on the world all the timed and are indeed learning how to relate to the Earth as a living being, as highlighted by the growing "Go Green" movement.

Venus on the Tree of Life is given the GREEN Sphere known as Victory.

Netzach is given the Planet Venus and the color Green on the Tree of Life. Netzach translates to Victory, Love, and Eternity among other things.

Venus/Aphrodite is seen below coming from oyster from the Sea.

The Great Mother, aka Babalon is also known as the Great Sea. The divine feminine energy is universally associated with the element of Water. I thought this poster for the 2012 film symbolizes perfectly the Waters of the Great Mother consuming symbols of Male Patriarchal power like the Obelisk/Phallus. 

I perceive the return of the Great mother as the return to our conscious relationship to Gaia and the universe as a living breathing spirit within whom we are given our beingness. All of these symbols of death and destruction that attract to the idea of Mother Earths power are the result of our Egos being threatened by the    understanding of natures power and our physical mortality.

Babalon astride the Beast by Gnostic Saint William Blake. She holds her iconic Symbol the Cup.

Wikipedia tells us further about the Great Mother

"She is considered to be a sacred whore because she denies no one, and yet she extracts a great price—the very blood of the adept and his ego-identity as an earthly individual. This aspect of Babalon is described further from the 12th Aethyr:

"This is the Mystery of Babylon, the Mother of Abominations, and this is the mystery of her adulteries, for she hath yielded up herself to everything that liveth, and hath become a partaker in its mystery. And because she hath made her self the servant of each, therefore is she become the mistress of all. Not as yet canst thou comprehend her glory.

Beautiful art thou, O Babylon, and desirable, for thou hast given thyself to everything that liveth, and thy weakness hath subdued their strength. For in that union thou didst understand. Therefore art thou called Understanding, O Babylon, Lady of the Night!"

The concept contained within this aspect of Babalon is that of the mystical ideal, the quest to become one with All through the annihilation of the earthly ego ("For as thy blood is mingled in the cup of BABALON, so is thine heart the universal heart." The blood spilling into the graal of Babalon is then used by her to "flood the world with Life and Beauty" (meaning to create Masters of the Temple that are "released" back into the world of men), symbolized by the Crimson Rose of 49 Petals.^{" - Wikipedia Babalon}

"And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name BABALON."

 - The Gnostic Mass by Aleister Crowley

I beleive we are experiencing what Carl Jung would call Enantiodromia. When particular forces in our psyche and culture pre-dominate for a period, there is naturally going to be a swing in the other direction. I personally beleive that the 2012 movement, and the Green revolution are results of this counter-swing from the Male dominated Patriarchal timeperiod of the past Aeon, wherein the Earth and the divine feminine are constantly denied in mans yearning for heaven. We now know, in these beautiful times that Heaven and Earth are one, as we are now learning in different ways to accept our Earthly responsibilities, those of Love, community, and an awareness of our place in this delicate ecosystem.

Just as we have gone through a golden age of materiality and ecological carelessness through enantiodromia we will also experience a golden age of spirituality and a refined relationship to our ecosystem.

Enantiodromia. Literally, "running counter to," referring to the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time. This characteristic phenomenon practically always occurs when an extreme, one-sided tendency dominates conscious life; in time an equally powerful counterposition is built up, which first inhibits the conscious performance and subsequently breaks through the conscious control." - Carl Jung

We can even see an Enantiodromia in our cultures 2012 interest in timekeeping, moving away from the Solar/Male timekeeping methods and people are beginning to tap back into the Natural feminine rhythms of Mother Earth, Momma Moon and Lady Universe.

The Rainbow Serpent and Mayan Moontime

Notice all the Venus/Aphrodite/Scarlet Woman resonating characters with Red Hair in this funny Venus Transit news report I caught on Reality Sandwich. 

Venus is in fact the only planet whos planetary symbol can incorporate every Sphere on the Tree of Life. 

Updated 6/4 - The Great Queen and Big Benben


On the same date that I was writing this post acknowledging a celebration of the divine feminine in 2012, and having just pointed out the 2012 poster featuring the Castration of the Obelisk by the Great Mother/Sea - it turns out that Great Britain has decided to rename Big BEN "The QUEEN Elizabeth Tower". BEN is a most important wink here because Obelisks are rooted in the Phallic symbol and.myth of the Benben. The Primordial Stone that rises from the Waters of Nu.

Queen Elizabeth is an Earthly resonator character of the Great Mother Goddess, and she has stamped her feminine energy on the phallice of Big BEN.

Interesting to me how Big Ben resonates with the Obelisk. I just posted this photo from the 2012 international poster the other day, having no idea that Great Mother Elizabeth was about to take over her own Phallice.

"Obelisks stood outside temples and represented the benben, the sacred sun symbol. They had small pyramids on top, which were often covered with gold. When the sun lit the pyramid, the god entered his temple. Two obelisks once stood at the Sun Temple at Heliopolis." - Pictures of Egypt

Aleister Crowley and many other teachers who understood the Life Force and Kundalini acknowledged that   access to these forces was made possible through the union of two (seemingly)opposite energies. These two energies united create what we can call the Solar-Phallice. The active and erect energy expressed by the phallice is not a phenomenon limited to the male paradigm.

The Ace of Disks, Heaven and Earth as one. This symbol is considered a Solar Phallic Glyph and 
contains both Solar an Lunar symbolism.
"This important sigil shows the symbol of the Sun and Moon united above two circles, 
upon which are the numerals 666, which is the number of the Beast.
 It is referredto as a ‘solar phallic glyph’, and was one of Crowley’s signatures."

It's Not Night: It's Space - East of the Sun & West of the Moon

9/11/2011

9/11 changed my life.

I had only been 20 years old for a little over a month when I woke just in time to watch the towers fall live on TV.

Suddenly, I became interested in the world outside myself, and I began a great quest to know exactly what had just happened. With a burgeoning interest in poetry already formed by that time, I trudged through the mire of philosophy, esoterica, conspiracy theory, and political rhetoric.

Traveling south that day on Route 17 in New Jersey, I saw the smoke on the horizon with my own eyes. And, like a heavy cloud, fear crept into my life for a long time afterward. Lying awake at night, living only tens of miles away from Manhattan, I wondered what it would be like to have my body ripped apart by a nuclear explosion. I became obsessed with the news, breaking apart all the double speak of government officials and tossing the refuse into the fires of my righteous indignation.

My thoughts today go out to "patriots" and "truthers" alike. They involve the very tangled relationship between fear and control. To fear is to be controlled, even if it is just being controlled by the fear itself. Fear dictates our actions and clogs our ears to the voices around us. But the desire to control is also a desire rooted in fear. That means those who seek to control us fear us or at least fear the absence of control.

I think this is the great lesson of 9/11. Whether you believe the Commission Report to be hallowed truth or if you, combing the internet tonight, find a security camera tape of Dick Cheney personally wrapping the support beams of WTC 7 in C-4, there is no doubt how 9/11 was co-opted as a brand of fear.

I see absolutely no way around the fact that the Bush Administration took 9/11 and made it into a brand. No matter what you believe happened, they took the events of that day and used them to control. They did not deploy grief counselors to asses the PTSD of the population. All they offered was the drumbeat of war and the continuation of bloodshed as they slowly tightened their grip on the landscape of our civil liberties. The with us or against us attitude was pure fear and alienation. Those amongst us who did not see any value in perpetuating violence were viciously marginalized. Make no mistake: the Obama administration has done fuck all to reverse this stranglehold and has merely perpetuated it. 9/11 became a brand and it's slogan still is "Never Forget." As in, never let go of the fear you felt that day. Always fixate on the terror and always bow to we who can protect you.

Ten years later, fear still haunts me. Not so much in the way of terrorism and nuclear holocaust, but in my life and in my actions, I see the dark fingers of fear groping at all that I value and turning it brown with decay.

Robert Anton Wilson wrote about Karma:

"Karma, in the original Buddhist scriptures, is a blind machine; in fact, it is functionally identical with the scientific concept of natural law. Sentimental ethical ideas about justice being built into the machine, so that those who do evil in one life are punished for it in another life, were added later by theologians reasoning from their own moralistic prejudices. Buddha simply indicated that all cruelties and injustices of the past are still active: their effects are always being felt. Similarly, he explained, all the good of the past is also being felt.

Since most humans are still controlled by fairly robotic reflexes, the bad energy of the past far outweighs the good, and the tendency of the wheel [of Karma] is to keep moving in the same terrible direction, violence breeding more violence, hatred breeding more hatred, war breeding more war. The only way to 'stop the wheel' is to stop it inside yourself, by giving up bad energy and concentrating on the positive. This is by no means easy, but once you understand what Gurdjieff called 'the horror of our situation,' you have no choice but to try, and to keep on trying."

My point here is that we must recognize that it is not a matter of what we believe; it is a matter of what we do. On both sides of the great divide in this country, we have people who like to cloak themselves in ideas. People who like to wear what they believe like badges, proof of who they are, proof of their moral identity. Or more accurately, they wear them like accessories as we are the greatest race of consumers this world has ever known.

But, while many champion the fact that "they still can't control the way I think!" they (they being whomever you think attacked us) have a pretty good stranglehold on the way we treat each other, the way we act. Ultimately, we are still free to treat each other with love and respect, but it takes not thought. It takes vision and a great wrenching of the wheel of Karma, an exertion of great internal force to quell all that we have been taught, all reactionary response, all that we have inherited in this great system of fear and trauma. The more we see through the eyes of community, the more we offer help and rely on the help of others, the less fear and isolation we experience and the less we have to depend on centralized systems of control.

Speculations on Elenin

Three names came to mind when I first started down the Elenin rabbit hole: Walter Cruttenden, Graham Hancock, and David Talbott.

Each of these authors is a fringe theorist trying to rewrite history, particularly where it concerns cosmology.

Cruttenden advocates that our Sun is actually part of a binary star system with Sirius. He believes that the magnetic forces from Sirius B that shower our solar system when the binary cycle brings Sirius A and B closest to our Sun are attributable to the myths of Golden Ages in our prehistory. As the binary stars depart, we descend into Dark Ages.

Hancock proposes that all great ancient civilizations, namely those of Central America and Egypt, inherited their knowledge of architecture and astronomy from a much older civilization that was wiped out by a global catastrophe. The monuments that these later civilizations built, were designed to remember and point us toward a moment in time.

Talbott's case is twofold: gravity is not the force that holds the universe together, electricity is; our solar system used to be very different in terms of its alignment. The planets used to be much closer together and some kind of cosmic disturbance caused them to be violently separated.

Cruttenden doesn't factor much into this discussion. His thoughts on Sirius are certainly interesting but all in all, it's an optimistic daydream with some halfway decent science to back it up.

What Hancock and Talbott both suggest in order to give credence to their theories, and indeed what totally unrelated author David Abram has suggested in his book Spell of the Sensuous, is that we have a deep misunderstanding of what mythology actually is. Through Literature, Psychology, and more recently Film, we have developed the concepts of story and of fiction and we look back at myth from this obscured perspective. In order to make sense of these stories that have no bearing in the natural world that surrounds us, we apply rationalizations like archetypes, primitive misunderstandings and imaginative interpretations. But in actuality, myth was a way to remember. Myth and ritual both were acts of record keeping. And while we see no natural analog to the myths, the cosmos was a very different place in ancient times.

Talbott claims that the planets once loomed large in the skies of Earth until something disturbed the union of Saturn/Venus/Mars. Talbott references the ubiquity of common symbolism in art and myth from all over the globe to suggest that they were all interpretations of events in the sky.

Hancock writes of the common themes of the flood myth from around the world. The floods were coupled or caused by great cosmic upheaval as well. Is it Talbott's planets falling out of alignment? Hancock eerily includes a quote from an Aboriginal Australian claim that "the sky used to be lower."

Could the plasma flares from misaligning planets be the fire that rained down on earth? Could the shift in gravity caused floods? What caused the misalignment to begin?

There are those who believe that on its path towards the sun, the gravity of Elenin aligning with the Earth is responsible for shifts that cause the major earthquakes of the past year or so. Namely in Chile and Japan. There are videos on youtube of people accurately warning of an incident following the alignment in March by merely following the alignments as shown by NASAs JPL map.

Here's where it gets weird: I noticed the official NASA don't worry story says "Elenin will pass by and not return for another 12,000 years."

So is Elenin on a 12,000 year elliptical orbit around the sun? 12,000 years ago puts us at 10,000 BC. That is the key year in Hancock's theories. That's the year the pyramids of Giza lineup with Orion's belt, the Sphynx with Leo, and the Nile with the Milky Way. Were ancient cultures so inclined to believe in cyclic ideas of time because they studied the return of comets? Did Elenin knock the original order of the solar system out of alignment?

Carl Callerman also developed a combination of all the Mayan calendars: the Long Count, the Tzolkin and the Haab to get a new end date in October of this year. Right as Elenin is the closest to the earth.

The Tree of Life by Terence Malick - An Interpretation

This essay is not intended to be a review of the movie though at some points I will feel like praising Malick's genius work in this particular film. This essay will talk about the film candidly. If you haven't seen the film yet, you may not want to read any further. While the movie certainly doesn't operate like a murder mystery of which I could spoil the ending, I still feel like the unfolding of the film to my lack of expectation was part of what I enjoyed about it.

That being said, I did approach the movie with some expectations. I expected it to be great as I have enjoyed everything Terence Malick has done and respect him as a film maker and a thinker. I have always considered his films to be like tracks on an album rather than entirely separate entities. Somehow, even though the individual expressions and characters of each movie span different times and spaces, each movie explores the same themes with the same motifs. As if to say, throughout Western civilization (as we could at least put that time limit on them all), human beings have struggled with understanding the world around them in these terms.

So which terms? I feel that many of his characters are often caught between two binaries. Their stories (however subtle) are their struggle to find a place and a relationship between these polarities. The two I see most often, and I suppose they could even be conflated into one are: Nature vs. Civilization and Love (or Free Will) vs. Duty (often to civilization).

By all accounts, Malick is a Romantic. The pace of his movies are meditative as is the silence and the choice to let the setting and land of the film speak and breathe as if they were a character. The beauty of the natural world holds a certain truth for him and his characters are often taking refuge amongst it. There they find a unity in stark contrast to the broken world they are running from.

I also happen to be a Romantic to an ever shifting degree. Malick's films speak to me then and I suppose they are the sort of thing you either hear or you don't. Good film/Bad film and Like/Dislike don't apply so much as what is Malick saying and do you hear him?

For me it has always been loud and clear.

So there I was in the dark of the theater ready to drink in this film.

Almost immediately, the film opens with a binary: "There are two ways through life... The way of Nature and the way of Grace," says the voice of the mother in the film. She goes on to explain Nature as this force that is always trying to please itself. I wish I could remember exactly the way she puts it, but a deeper understanding of the two sides arose from the rest of the movie which I will explain shortly.

I was struck. This is different. This is not more of the same Malick. Nature was being cast in this selfish and greedy light.

The movie opens with a general sense of cloudiness. We slosh back and forth between childhood scenes and adult scenes with Sean Penn representing the grown up son of Brad Pitt. There's scenes of an older Mother and Father receiving news of their son's death as well (Sean Penn's brother). There's a bit of confusion but then ultimately we get taken to the actual beginning, the beginning of everything.

There is a long sequence of images that represent the creation of the universe and the subsequent evolution of life on Earth which carries us to the specific evolution of life in the specific family of the O'Briens. This is the story that the movie follows. The evolution of Jack and the dynamics of his family.

Throughout much of the movie there are shots of the camera looking up at trees. These are paralleled by similar upward-looking shots of the office building landscape in the large city where the adult Jack works. To me this spells out a shocking revelation for the movie and for Malick as a director/thinker. Civilization is Nature . Civilization is an extension of the same force behind Nature, that selfish, self-centered force that allows for everything to propagate. At one point adult Jack sits silently and pensively with his colleagues in a high office building. As one man in the room claims, "Everyone is getting greedy," the camera slowly zooms in on the city below through the office window. This is a primal force at work. The selfish drive to accumulate and maintain.

But nowhere in the movie is Nature and Grace more clearly highlighted than in the ways the Mother and Father interact with the children. The Mother representing Grace and the Father representing Nature. If my memory serves me correctly, the mother's name is Mary. "Hail Mary, full of Grace."

The O'Brien family is a small branch off of the larger trunk of evolution and of life; therefore, the way of Nature still exists amongst them as they are a fractal of the larger whole. The Father is always trying to teach his sons through tough love the ways to get ahead in the world: responsibility, conformity, selflessness, all of which can be boiled down to a numbness: a lack of emotional recognition and responsibility. But, in the face of Nature, humans have developed Grace: a force of compassion, inter-subjectivity, understanding and relation. The Mother exudes this throughout the film. She is a gravity away from the enculturation the Father is always pushing.

The Father winds up being the saddest character of the movie: always at a distance from the real life of the family: a practical arm's length away from the foundation of love and understanding that the mother offers. Always running and searching, he always misses out on the human connection taking place between brother and brother, mother and sons.

But is Grace really a solely human force? I believe Malick tells us very subtly that it is not. During the sequence that represents the evolution of life on the planet, we hang on an extended vignette regarding a couple of dinosaurs. A helpless baby dinosaur lies ill beside a river. An obviously predatory dinosaur approaches. It places its foot on the head of the baby dinosaur. It observes for a long while and then lets go and moves on. Grace expresses itself here in the most primal existences.

Grace, therefore, exists externally. It exists as a primal force that runs along side Nature. And as the Mother clearly states, it is for us to choose. Maybe humans have been (and still are) the most capable of such a choice.

Let's hope so.

On a personal note, I sat in the theater absolutely mesmerized. Absolutely every single scene in that movie was in some form an analog to my own childhood. It was like watching home movies. Even the minutest details, for example, the sense of relief and celebration that coursed through the Mother and her children when the Father went traveling for his job, was entirely familiar to me. I imagine that these scenes are a representation of Malick's childhood as well, and therefore I see why I have always connected to his films, and a great curiosity arises in the fact that we have come to see the world with similar eyes. Was it because of our childhood?

In terms of cinematic accomplishment, the representation of the passage through childhood is like nothing ever rendered on film previously. Malick's representations, the fisheye lens of infancy, the focus on the way women adjust their hemlines and how it suddenly becomes more apparent in adolescence, strike a deep chord in me. The best actors in the film wind up being the toddlers as they can express nothing else besides their toddlerness. Every twenty minutes I would gasp at how much I was absorbing of these characters from the minimal offering on the screen.

The film opens with a quote from the book of Job. It is the last sequence of Job where God, in what I interpret as a snarky sarcasm, asks Job where he was while God was creating the universe. If Job thinks he knows so well and understands so much, he is forgetting that his knowledge is based on the foundations of an existence which only God has created. We are merely a branch of the tree of life then, and that understanding leads to a humility which leads to the acknowledgment of Grace’s existence and that to a sense of trust in it. As the Mother also says, “Unless you love, your life will flash by.”Unless we open ourselves to Grace, we will live blindly and arrogantly. We will will live wrapped in greed.

I left the film quite shaken. I felt a true paradigm shift had taken place. (Some day, maybe on this blog maybe elsewhere, I can finally explore my understanding of the following claim: "The only cure to postmodernism is the incurable illness of Romanticism." Did Malick just finally help me understand how Romanticism is both a cure and an illness?) In the old Nature vs. Civilization binary, I clearly sided with Nature. But now I side with Grace and I have no problem with seeing Nature as this greedy force now that the perspective has been place before me. So why this initial misconception? What lies in Nature that initially seems like Grace if that indeed is what has resonated with me all along? There is still a beauty and balance to the natural world that seems to contrast the injustice, immorality and violence of civilization. Is it just that we are so far removed from Nature? We see the violence of civilization because it is the matrix to which we belong most wholly, but from such a vantage point Nature looks unified and peaceful. Or maybe, if dinosaurs can offer each other Grace, the beauty and balance of Nature is a whisper of Grace which resides ever in potential, waiting to be birthed, to be branched and sprouted, like leaves on the tree of life.
