The Birds and The Bees Pt2: Don't Worry Bee Happy

I had wanted to write this follow-up sooner, but I had to take a much-needed detour first. I found myself in Virginia for a recital put on by Melissa's dance school that explicitly incorporated the death/rebirth symbolism of the Easter/Spring period. Then we came back to NYC on a bus out of Newport News, VA. The address of the bus station? 317 of course.

We ended Part One of this series by touching on the Vonnegut book "The Sirens of Titan," which centers around the town of Newport, Rhode Island. Written in 1959, the book has a BlueBeam event, a man who is scattered across time and space gaining all sorts of knowledge and power who then builds a city on Mars. I'd be surprised if Alan Moore didn't lift 85% of the plot from this book for his "Watchmen," but maybe not all that surprised. At it's core, this sci-fi theme seems to be an attempt at explaining the ego-death experience. That is a universal challenge and where most of the symbols we look at lead us.

We have been looking at the repeated death/rebirth symbols for the last few months. But, we cannot have rebirth, let alone first-life, without "the birds and the bees." The public sex ritual of Tiger Woods and all he represents never disappoints to give us symbolic fodder and we can always count on the Nazi-antics of Drudge to spell it out for us:

Note the name Boehner (Boner), combining the political with the sex Wood, who now cannot perform (castrated like Osiris?) and leading us to the White House. All in 2010, the year of the Tiger, the year we make contact.

And, in case you missed this update to Pt1: Jesus wants to go to Venus,

it seems Jesus, the solar-powered SUN of God, really does want to go to Venus.

Now we have bees connected to space travel again. For actual space bees, let's take a peek at the Futurama episode "The Sting."

It opens with the robot Bender playing golf like our Tiger Woods on, what else, the 17th hole.

Bender then dons a bee costume for the trip to the space hive, where our cast enters a hexagon gateway.

Note the double B telling you to "Be the B" and the sexual overtones of the advertisement next to the episode. "Be the Boss, control your Staff!"

Here we see Fry killed by the sting of another Killer Bee, starting off our death/rebirth ritual.

Outside his funeral, this DNA-bearing spaceship-truck flies past, hinting at rebirth.

Later, Leela eats hallucinogenic honey and imagines that Fry is reborn out of the combo of DNA and Honey. We had already looked at the historical connections between honey and hallucinogens in the post Circumpunct Breakfast: Masonically Delicious! - see Terence McKenna and others for more on this.

She then imagines that the Jesus-resonating, reborn Fry takes her to his favorite planet, Venus.

In Leela's next hallucination, the cast of the show does a song and dance number singing "Don't worry, BEE happy," a variation on Bobby McFerrin's "Don't worry, Be Happy." While singing and dancing, they all die after being stung by bees - sorta like that Lady Gaga video. Nice disco-ball hexagons too.

Follow me on a tangent to look at the original Bobby McFerrin song, especially since his initials reunite the B & M that we have noticed again and again with the honey meme.

Notice the video set is two illuminated pillars beside an entrance to a smoke tunnel. It also has a holy trinity dancing in front of it, made up of Bobby McFerrin, Robin Williams (resonating Jake Kotze's favorite bird), and Bill Irwin (who we'll look at in a minute).

The video also gives us this shot of a financial meltdown (something we've seen a lot of in the the markets lately). I include this because in "Sirens of Titan" there is a stock market crash that the US President decides to stimulate his way out of with a new era of space travel. If you're living in the US in the year 2010, this may sound like a familiar scenario. Interesting.

Also noteworthy in "Sirens of Titan," is a spaceship called "The Whale." As I I had been looking at the fact that bees are perfect symbols for death/rebirth - bees have stingers and die after using them, they are potentially deadly themselves (see Killer Bees), but also are responsible for much life on this planet by pollinating the world's plantlife - I began seeing Bees and Whales as symbolically interchangeable, since there are Sperm Whales and Killer Whales. We also have "the belly of the whale" as a dark night of the soul or ego-death experience. So, when the spaceship called "The Whale" popped up in this book, I took notice.

This theory was validated when, in the Radio8Ball show that synced so strongly in Part One, Twig Palace sings her song "Little Finger." She sings a line that reminds us of Lucky's four magic charms and Elton John's Levon, "Let's blow up big balloons and send them soaring into outer space." The next verse has the people reincarnated as Bumble Bees. In the verse after that she sings, "If our honey lives don't suit us, let's be killer whales instead."

After making this connection, I saw an ad on the subway for a show called Whale Wars. If you have any doubt that the double "W" is an upside-down double "M," note that the station "AniMal Planet" has a highlighted "M" in the logo. The tagline on the advert and the synopsis on the animal planet website both read: "Whale Wars: It's not about whales. It's about 42 crazy die-hards with a mission."

So there's our ever-present 42 and this DVD case reminds us again that it's all about death and rebirth:

Oh, and my symbol junkies will love the logo of the "conservation society" those 42 people operate. Check it out:

Since Whales are Bees, and we're going with the "birds and the bees" theme, I next thought of the Tom Waits song, "Fish and Bird." Here are some of the lyrics:

Of a world that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale

He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean'
And she said to him
'You never can live in the sky'
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And a bird on the tide

So, after all this, I saw a birdcage in the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" video, and said to myself, "Okay, there's our bird, where's the fish?" Well, I wasn't disappointed. As if summoned, a fishbowl falls out of the sky and Bill Irwin catches it, then places it next to the bird, where it belongs.

Wiki tells us that our third member of the Holy Trinity, Bill Irwin, has had a fascinating career. With roles in The Regard of Flight, Fool Moon, Waiting for Godot (alongside Steve Martin and Robin Williams), The Goat or Who is Sylvia?, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, My Blue Heaven, Lady in the Water, Across the Universe, Northern Exposure as "The Flying Man," 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Bye Bye Birdie. He is most known for his clown work, since graduating Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in 1974.

Yep, that Ringling Brothers. The one we were just looking at in "Bread and Circuses." You know, the one with the OZ Stargate on their site.

Remember, we had just looked at Ringling again, alongside Elton John (the guy who has an album called Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) in Part One of this series.

If you want more on the Circus and Space travel connection, see The Secret Sun here and here.

Oh hey, don't let me forget this headline. It's graduation season and high profile douche, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, spoke at a commencement ceremony telling kids, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." So now you know everything is going to be fine.

While I've still got you on a tangent or twelve, let's look at the other ad that popped up on the Futurama site. It's for something called Earth Eternal, with a logo that is obviously two E's back to back, but which creates something else all together.

It may be a nod to our 2010, year of the Tiger. In many artistic representations of the year of the tiger, the tiger is drawn with a "Wang" on his forehead, over its third-eye. It is the Chinese character for "King" and often appears on real-life tigers as shown in this picture from the zooschool site.

While in Virginia with a bunch of dancers, we watched this incredible tap routine from The Nicholas Brothers.

Wiki tells us that Fayard Nicholas "was a member of the Baha'i Faith since 1967." The Baga'i "ringstone" symbol should now look familiar to us, as it is the spitting image of the Wang and the back-to-back E.

I'm reminded that Bees communicate through dance as I watch these guys dance on a set with a now-familiar stargate design.

I know what you're asking yourself. Why does it always come back to 2001/2010 and Stargates and all that? Well, let's finish that Futurama episode, shall we?

Leela decides to find Fry's coffin, assuming it to be empty, to prove that he's still alive. When she gets to it, the classic music starts, and the coffin is shown to be a black monolith from the 2001/2010 films.

She opens it and finds a surprise...

The coffin contains non-other than a stargate:

Hitting us over the head with death-as-stargate symbolism.

But, if you think that's the end of it, you're going to be as surprised as I was.

To be continued...

The Royal Wedding of the Birds and Bees: Chasing The Sapphire

Note: I had started this post yesterday morning

and was just about done when I had to run out.

Came online today to find breaking news that flows out of this

post as well as a similarly themed post at TheSyncWhole.

That's the way it goes.

We just entered a new year, Father Time (Saturn/Osiris) was reborn as the baby. The death/rebirth cycle has begun anew. Yet we're barely into 2011 and we're already being slammed with global animal deaths and all sorts of death imagery.

The first dying birds to make headlines were the Red-Winged Blackbirds. Kevin @Indradhanush42 tweets:

The short answer is yes, I think maybe it is "the death of death."

I've been putting off writing the promised post about Sapphires, a pattern I've been tracking for months now, but it seems it can't really wait any longer. I'm at a point where most of the patterns I've been watching are converging to such a degree that the context is getting more complicated and if I don't start explaining now, it'll be impossible for me to keep up this public forum and still make even a small amount of sense to those reading it.

Here are some important bullet point items to keep in mind:

• Bees always signal Saturn
• Obama's Eagles are always Phoenixes, as this recent Drudge conjunction reminds us:

• I have thought of Eco or ECCO or Echo as perhaps being indicative of the collective unconscious or the ID.
• In Japanese, "Iko" (pronounced "E"-"Ko" or ECO) means "Let's Go"

Okay, let's start there, since many are connecting these animal deaths with possible gulfstream changes due to the BP spill. I had said at the time of the BP spill that I expected to see Queen Beatrix's (Queen Bea/Bee) Shell Oil to play an important role in the aftermath. Then Shell begins a new campaign with the slogan "Let's Go" (Iko/Eco)

The clam shell (used by Shell as their logo) is associated with Venus. The transit of Venus gives us the 5-pointed star that everyone is so afraid of.

The 5-pointed star or pentagram is also on Rush's eclipse-resonating 2112 "Starman" album cover:

Goro Adachi is connecting the blackbirds with the British Royal Wedding via Venus' 5-pointed star. And, while I don't see things in quite the same fashion he does, I agree that the Phoenix is all over this thing. But first, let's look at the Sapphire engagement ring that made headlines.

That the ring was a sapphire again takes us to Echo. Literally, the first Echo.

This version of the myth even compares the sapphire ring to a fallen star. Hmm. Falling Stars. Keep that in mind. The same items continue to resonate strongly.

So who is getting married in this big ole Royal Wedding? Well, for my money it's the Ego and Id, but removing the symbol of a moment, we're talking of course about the Prince of W(h)ales...

Bees and Whales are interchangeable archetypes in my view, as I covered in an early Birds & Bees post.

Also noteworthy in "Sirens of Titan," is a spaceship called "The Whale." As I I had been looking at the fact that bees are perfect symbols for death/rebirth - bees have stingers and die after using them, they are potentially deadly themselves (see Killer Bees), but also are responsible for much life on this planet by pollinating the world's plantlife - I began seeing Bees and Whales as symbolically interchangeable, since there are Sperm Whales and Killer Whales. We also have "the belly of the whale" as a dark night of the soul orego-death experience. So, when the spaceship called "The Whale" popped up in this book, I took notice.
This theory was validated when, in the Radio8Ball show that synced so strongly in Part One, Twig Palace sings her song "Little Finger." She sings a line that reminds us of Lucky's four magic charms and Elton John's Levon, "Let's blow up big balloons and send them soaring into outer space." The next verse has the people reincarnated as Bumble Bees. In the verse after that she sings, "If our honey lives don't suit us, let's be killer whales instead."

In that same post, I covered the Tom Waits song "Fish and Bird." Those are the things popping up dead everywhere. Tom Waits is also the guy who sings "Always keep a Sapphire in your mind."

But, if Bees are Whales - and Bees signal Saturn - then so too must the Whales. So here we have our Prince of W(h)ales making news with his Sapphire Ring and Wiki tells us a little something about Sapphires:

Some etymologists propose an old Sanskrit origin to the Semitic word "sappir": a dark colored precious stone called "Shanipriya" (शनिप्रिय), from "shani" (शनि) meaning "Saturn" and "priya" (प्रिय), precious, i.e. "precious to Saturn".[1]

Terence McKenna taught all of us that ancient Mushroom cults used Honey as a preservative and that the Bee symbolism began to get incorporated into their imagery. Psychedelic mushrooms are known for bruising blue, so blue caps are associated with Magic Mushroom caps. Michael just put up a post at Gosporn about the Blackbirds and Goro, that featured the Prince of W(h)ales with his Blue Cap. So here we have another Bee=Whale indicator.

I couldn't help but think of the post I did on "Kiki/Lala and the Blue Bird of Happiness" where we see Kiki in a Magic Blue Cap with a magical blue stone (sapphire?) that allows him to "see the world as it truly is."

Kiki is even able to see a 4-D expression of time:

He later ends up in "the world of dreams" which I mentioned looks kinda like the Norway Spiral.

Funny thing about the Norway Spiral, in his RedIce interview from last year, Freeman talked about a little known NASA project called CARE, launched by the BlackBrant XII, which was spraying Aluminum Oxide into the atmosphere. Freeman points out that the blue haze in the Norway Spiral may be due to it's Aluminum Oxide content.

Sapphire (Greek: σάπφειρος; sappheiros, "blue stone"[1]) is a gemstone variety of the mineral corundum, an aluminium oxide

In other words, the Norway Spiral may very well have actually been composed of Sapphires!

Sapphire is the birthstone associated with September - a month we now associate with Blue Lights:

We'll come back to 9/11, but first let's go back to Michael. He sent me an email a month or two back with this image and text:

I have about a zillion synchs about taking charge, making a choice, activate, blah blah. Here's a command that includes 911 and the reverse of 144, my totemic number. It includes the infamous (like anti-matter) Chase octagon. It's both a debit AND a Master Card. The master card is the Joker, it can be whatever you want it to be, just say the word. important. ACTIVATE! Activate your joker card.

"Don't dream it, be it" keeps coming back. I have this feeling that our egos are about to be given an amazing and wonderful choice, because that's what ego's do. We choose. we judge. I suspect that my dreams are about to come true, and so are everyone else's. Dream big.

Wonderful words from a wise man. However, there's more. What he didn't know was that the Chase card meant something to me as well. Since I have been tracking this Sapphire thing for almost a year, I was astounded when Chase introduced a credit card called "Sapphire"

He mentioned the "infamous Octagon" and we should remember that it is where Ultimate Fighting, our modern Colosseum games, are held. So, it is like a boxing-RING.

But, the Credit Card sync has been all over for me lately. I found it in Target (circumpunct) on a revamped version of Monopoly...

If you see the "Cards not Cash" as evidence of the "cashless society" conspiracy, then you've gotta love that they incorporated a big Yellow and Blue "MK" into the center of the gameboard. Priceless.

Remember, ECO/Iko is "Let's Go!" and now they've put a rocketship for you to GO and get on.

Now we spoke of Falling Stars and that's something we looked at a lot in Part4 of our Decemberment series, where we looked a little at the movie StarMan, starring Jeff Bridges. It was here that I noticed Credit Cards as integral to the plot.

The Starman explains to Jenny that he has three days to get to the rendezvous point, Arizona's Barringer Crater, or he will die. She teaches him how to drive a car and use credit cards, intending on escaping so he can continue his journey alone. However, as she is about to make her escape, she witnesses him miraculously resurrect a dead deer. Deeply moved, she resolves to help him at whatever cost.

A few days later I watched The Fisher King for like the bazillionth time and I see Jeff Bridges get on the phone and say that he is a representative from "major credit card companies." When asked which one he replies, "All of them." So Jeff is telling me he represents Credit Cards. That's a pretty strong Sync.

Will @satoriallme pointed out to me the 9/11 indicators in Big Lebowski, one of which is the scene where Jeff Bridges dates his check (symbolically equivalent to a debit card) September 11th while George Bush speaks in the background. Now, considering Echo's Sapphire Ring was a gift from Zeus, and Zeus is associated with the Eagle, I thought I should point out that former Eagles front-man Don Henley had a year 2000 album called Inside Job.

And we know how Jeff Bridges feels about the Eagles.

More plot from Starman:

The Starman uses their last quarters in a slot machine, which he manipulates in order to win the jackpot. The couple use their winnings to buy a new car to complete the drive to Winslow, Arizona, which is near Barringer Crater.

The Eagles, Take it Easy lyrics:

Well, I'm a standing on a corner

in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me

Now we've got 8,000 doves dropping dead in a day. Don Henley did a duet w/ Stevie Nicks (his former girlfriend) on her Bella Donna album which features a Dove on the cover, has the infamous song Edge of 17 with the chorus "just like the white wing Dove" and their duet is all about the union of opposites - the beauty and the beast.

Again, the first birds to make news were the B;lackbirds. The Blackbird is a symbol of death and is the plane flown by X-Men. Ex-men=dead men or Died-on-the-Cross-Men. (Model number SR-71, 73 or SR-77!)

When I googled "X-Men Blackbird" I get this news of a new X-Men movie set being built with the Blackbird on freaking Jekyll Island! Not only does Jekyll bring us back to our dueling opposites (Jekyll and Hyde) but that is the locale where the Federal Reserve was birthed.

JamTech released an album called "Creature from Jeyll Island" with magic mushrooms on the cover on April 28th 2010.

That's the day before the "Flashforward" Day!

Now we're looking at a "mysterious 'Global Blackout' event" as connected to the bird deaths. On 1/11/11 (5 points of star) FX is premiering a show called Lights Out, about a boxer (boxing RING) and their promo materials have a man with one wounded eye resonating the wounded eye of the Egyptian-bird god.

Tagline: "Everybody loves a comeback"

Aeon of Horus?

The "global blackout" again echoes Green Lantern with his power-RING via "Blackest Night," the story I highlighted in the Ring-collage I made a month or two ago. And this also tells us of a "death of death" or Phoenix/Resurrection force as "the dead will rise."

Is this picture starting to make a little more sense?

BREAKING:

Drudge linked up the possible Astronaut's Wife shooter's YouTube account. Jared Lee "Loner" was a military recruit in Phoenix!

And he mentions Phoenix in connection with the Bible... Phoenix force Resurrection indeed!

This is Loner's YouTube profile. Who would write such a bio? Note the past tense mixed in.

And he writes about birds and "a comet or a meteoroid coming through the atmosphere."

Hmm. Weren't we just looking at that meme?
