The offline syncs have been massive and are piling up, so let's hop to it.
CRAZY 88s:
I had connected the number 88 to the BP spill and mentioned the importance of the spill's 88th day as well as the date 8/8. So now we know the spill lasted 88 days and, if there was any remaining doubt that the 88 is encoded into the spill, here was the front page of the newspaper from 8/8:
I should have remembered that the first post devoted to 88 included the idea of the Crazy 88s, from Kill Bill. The same day, August 8th, another front page of a newspaper here in NYC read "Are they Knuts?" - in reference to the Knicks basketball team. That night, I saw a guy wearing a Kill Bill T-Shirt. The next day, another front page read "Gun Nuts" - in reference to gun wielding police officers that had filed mental instability claims. The third day, the front page of one paper read "Plane Crazy" while another read "Planely Nuts" - both stories about the JetBlue baggage carrier that snapped while at work and shut down the airport. A BIG part of this is synchronicity, but I still think that many days with the word "Nuts" on the front page of New York newspapers has to be a conscious effort on behalf of Culture Creators to put a vibe out into the populace at large.
On 8/9 (8+9=17) I met a guy named Arion, who introduced himself as spelling his name "like Orion with an A." That immediately got my attention. Working at a bar/restaurant in the city, you meet all types of people, but after he had a few drinks this Australian musician started talking some fascinating topics, unprovoked by me or anyone else. He claimed to have witnessed extraterrestrial craft multiple times in the same OZ location, with the second time including a beam of paralyzing light that filled him with energy. I asked if he received any information from the beam. He said the experience left him sort of psychic and that he has been super lucky at gambling ever since - winning Take5 a few times this year. ET Beams sending you lottery numbers - where have I heard that before? In the middle of our conversation he said, "You look different now." I asked, "Oh, am I a shape shifter?" That spurred hum to tell me the story of how Madonna sat on his lap when he was 17 years old and told him, "You're a shape shifter just like me," and then she changed shape, into a very angular creature with strange eyes. I asked what he thought of Madonna's embracing of Kabbalah and he claimed that he himself was a "Kabbalistic sorcerer" and that what Madonna practiced was evil witchcraft. He told me it was within my power (and my duty) to stop her because "as a Capricorn, you control the physical plane." I have no intention of going out to do magical battle with Madonna, that seems absurd yet all so fascinating. But then he turns around and I see that his shirt has the Red Letter C as the only design on the back!
TRIPLE-8s and DOUBLE RAINBOWS:
What really got me to sit down next to him was overhearing him mention that his birthday was "next week, on 8/16." That date had become important for me just a few days earlier. Seeing a triple-8 (888) a few times in a row made me consider it as a progression from the 88. I thought to myself, well 8/16 would be a triple-8. The next day after thinking about 8/16, the sync whole writes about double rainbows and Melissa points out an old photo she had stuck in a collage on our wall. The photo is from 8/16/1998 and is of a double rainbow.
Her young handwriting on the back:
1998 is an important year in my perspective and I take it very seriously whenever it pops up. Something that just occurred to me is that a rainbow is the full (light) spectrum and an 8 is also the infinity symbol. So a double rainbow and an 88 are the same as well.
That this photo should reside unnoticed for 2 years inside a collage adds a whole other weight to the sync for me. It was one night while laying in bed with Melissa and staring at one of her collages that I first thought of a good analogy for the three layers of existence. I saw each photo as the individual, with all the complexity and beauty that it contained within itself. The collage, the totality of those individual photos arranged by human hand, was the human attempt to manipulate and/or structure reality - that can be on a Societal level, Governmental/Political, Institutional. Artistic, Well-intentioned plans, Conspiracy and so on. But there was a third layer, that of the light and shadow falling on the wall and the collage and the photos, which created a much broader beauty. This third layer contained the lower two, yet was the type of beauty that went beyond human control. I saw that all that we do is but a fraction of how the universe designs itself. Yet, that cosmic portrait (another first layer photo) was displaying itself on a wall made by human hands and that there were walls and buildings stretching out in every direction making another collage and then another 3rd layer of the planet and cosmos with our architecture and sum of human striving/achievement being only a fraction of that. Perhaps this continues on ad infinitum.
Three layers of infinity=888?
While I was studying the idea of the WhiteSun/Whitsun/Fire-in-the-Brain/FlamingTongue/FlamingLips/Pentecost, I learned that the biblical event was said to have happened 50 days after Easter. Well, as I was looking at all that, The Sync Whole laid out the concept of the 7-11 eclipse being a strong resonator of Easter. So, I counted 50 days from 7/11/2010 and put a small pink dot on the calendar with a highlighter then forgot all about it. The date is 8/30 which would also be the triple-8.
ON CRACKS #7:
I'm listening to Steve&Will's Cracks in the wall #7 and I just realized that the background I designed for the Squares That Touch blog has a double rainbow on each side, or a double-double-rainbow. If a rainbow is 42 degrees and a Double Rainbow is 84, consider that the quadruple rainbow would be 168, bringing us back to 8/16 (which is 8/8+8).
And, me of all people, should have realized why I colored this one-armed girl's shirt green - by being partially dismembered, she's an Osiris resonator. I swear I had not thought about it till Steve mentioned it. The cut of the shirt, as Peter drew it, just seemed like it would look best in green.
Steve points out that a 33 is also an 8, so the Time Warner postcard I received with the three 33s would also be a triple-8.
He brought back up California's Prop 8 which Michael had commented on, and his comment led to a SyncWhole post that coincided directly with a dream I had the night before. Since I've been offline, I wondered if there were other ways to communicate. Well, I've had dreams that I'm meeting some of you on the astral plane. Is it just a dream or is the dream real?
Lastly, Steve&Will talk about the 8/13 floodwaters. Funny thing is, starting on Friday 8/13, the restaurant I work at began to flood, as water poured through Cracks in the Wall - and I've spent the last few days at work trying to hold back the tide of this flood until it can be fixed. Very sync heavy times we're in. It also brings me back to the St. Louis StarGate post and the convo I had with Michael about the opening of the Floodgates.
I'm now thinking that if Mem is Water, a Pitcher and a Picture both store memories. So, is it possible that the pitcher-holding Aquarian water bearer holds our memories of universal knowledge? Are the Aquarian floodwaters the unleashing of that flood of memories?
HAPPY CREATURES PODCAST #7:
I wish I had time to write more, being without internet has been a little frustrating, sorta like blue balls, but it has also allowed me to redirect that energy elsewhere. Oh, and it has not escaped my attention that my period of being without internet comes in tandum with the stories of Smoke and Smog covering Russia. I need to write more about the Smoke Signals concept, so much to say. Yet, for now I leave you with something I was able to do offline, another Podcast. This was just a test of a new method of recording them and it worked pretty well. That means I'll be bringing the Podcasts back and I should have more interviews coming to you very soon. If any of you want to be part of the conversation, send me an email: AllTheHappyCreatures (at) gmail.com
Podcast #7 32 minutes
I still want to document the amazing syncs from the road trip and share more photos with you all. But, for now, I'm caught in the August Rush.
See you in my dreams.
The Time Warner Center had always reminded me of the Twin Towers. It was as if they were sister sites. Wiki tells us that it opened on February 27, 2003 (See 227 as ratio of Pi). Something I had thought of before is that the Time Warner Center (TWC) is an anagram of the World Trade Center (WTC).
The fountain at the World Trade Center was meant to mimic the Kabba. The fountain at the Time Warner Center is, at least on the surface, an ode to Christopher Columbus - though I have no doubt that others may see it as an ode to the goddess Columbia. Compare the logos of Columbia Broadcasting and Time Warner:
The obvious direction to go here is to rehash all the illuminated eye stuff that's dominated the conversation for so long, but that's not even where I'm going with this. I just want to give you an idea of some of the religious/ritualistic elements at play that made themselves obvious in the subtext. As I looked from the building to the fountain, back to the building, back to the fountain - I couldn't shake the feeling that there was a Stargate connection here. It just looked too similar. Trying to let it go, I told myself that this was a common enough architectural motif and that I just had stargates on the brain.
But then we went inside to piss. The first thing we see upon entering is a new boutique called MXYZPTLK. It was Rammer who pointed out that this is the name of a character from the Superman comic books. There was nothing about the boutique to suggest any connection with Superman lore - it was a high-end store full of overpriced junk, and nothing more. Just that name. Someone questioned if there could be a copyright issue, but I reminded them that DC comics is owned by Time Warner. I said it was probably just some branding or cross-marketing scheme and moved on with my day. I had worked late, been up all night and had to take a leak.
But when I got home, the very thing that should have been obvious to me finally became so. Mr. Mxyzptlk is a trans-dimensional being (from the 5th Dimension), with the power to cross over into our universe and act like a sort of trickster god. He's also another Double-M and gives us the OZ of Kotze's research, as well as interacting with what looks a whole hell of a lot like lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center.
UPDATE:
I found myself looking over this Superman cover last night - and saw that I missed at least two KEY elements. Bottom left: "Millennium is coming" written over a sun-disk. The double-M of Mr Mxyzptik is, in roman numerals, 2000. The artist working alongside Byrne (Byrne/Burn=more fire symbolism) is a double-K, or 2K - another 2000.
At the Time Warner Center, the third and smaller tower that is common to the arrangement made famous by the Masonic first degree tracing board is actually the pillar-like fountain. We should note that the fountain's pillar has flames sprouting from it, and an eagle that Rammer pointed out looks more like a phoenix than an eagle. Again with the flames of rebirth.
I have speculated that the 3rd pillar is meant to be a man's penis rising up between the two legs of the larger Jachin and Boaz pillars. Well, last night I watched the videos linked by Christopher Knowles of the Secret Sun showing the seeding of Nut, the Egyptian star-goddess. See how the Gateway Arch, which I have shown has the Stargate motif built into it, mimics the feminine Nut stretching across the sky.
They are both Star Arches waiting to be seeded by the masculine Pillar or Pyramid (or as Kotze called them, Pillarmids). Recall this photo comparison made in The St. Louis Arch Pt 2.
The seeding of Nut to produce Ra is similar to the motif of Osiris' make-shift member seeding Isis to produce Horus - sun-gods both (though, as Knowles points out, they may be two very different suns). We can go further and see that the destruction of the World Trade Center has been compared to the unveiling of Isis - and some say, the harbinger of an Aeon of Horus.
Well, if the WTC Stargate was the feminine (with her sacred box for a fountain), we can see how our new TWC stargate has the masculine for a fountain - and plays up the sun-god motif both with the sprouting flames and the calling out to Superman, who himself is a sun-god (Superman's power-source is the Sun). I'm not a big fan of the Superman archetype personally: Translate fairly literally and Superman is the UberMan. Or you can flip the "p" into a "b" and get the same result. However, the incorporation of the Mr. Mxyzptik character, makes this a very clear symbol of Death and Rebirth. Note that both the famous "Death of Superman" and Rebirth of a transmogrified Superman comic covers were parodied by the Mr. Mxyzptik character.
We can clearly see how this is all playing into a rebirth of a Sun-god, at least symbolically. The question here is: Which Sun? Is this a motif made to summon or praise the Green Sun of Ra or the Yellow Sun of Horus or the WhiteSun of the Pentecost? Is it ritualistic or the universe talking to us? Probably a little from Column J and a little from Column B.
Since we're dealing with Masonic symbolism and Arches, we should mention the "Royal Arch" Masons. I can't post their tracing boards for some reason, but if you look into them, you'll see their boards depict a temple destruction with the secrets of Masonry unearthed from under the temple. Now, this could be a real-life depiction of the Crusaders discovery or it could be the ritual we're observing. I don't know, but the imagery is fascinating. See their tracing board here and here. Melissa found this Double-M Masonic site where you can learn more about Royal Arch Masons.
I'd also be curious if anyone is more familiar with Kabbalah than I am would weigh in on the movement from the base of Manhattan to the border of Midtown and the Upper-West Side - if we view the island of Manhattan as the Tree of Life.
I see "Upper West Side" and I think left-brain Egoic thinking, definitely the type of place a Superman archetype would rule. That's a cold lonely place - sort of a Fortress of Solitude.
UPDATE 2:
Man, I knew there was more here. It came to me the other night while I was at work. When I got home, I searched through the photos from our trip and found what I was looking for.
In those Egypt videos, Wayne Herschel makes the connection between the masculine pyramid and the sacred feminine triangle on Nut/Nuit's StarArch.
Seen from the side, Nut stretched across the sky while her sacred feminine triangle is highlighted.
Here's a sign Melissa found interesting while we were in the lobby of the St. Louis Arch. She asked me what I thought the completely random red triangle signified. At the time I had no idea. Now I'm very glad she pointed it out.
UPDATE 3:
This just came in the mail:
UPDATE 4:
I've been waiting for a good shot of this poster to appear online, but this is as good as I can find. Note the BIG RED C and the hourglass shape.
The same hourglass shape we saw in Wayne's video:
