I have so much I want share and write about, but everything is floWing so fast these days it seems impossible to capture it.
Twitter seems to let it floW the best these days, at least for me.
April looks like it will be a Diamond of a month.
I thought I would share this little video about Jupiter and Maestro Flores that I did over a year ago.
Peace to All

Jake: Burt Reynolds in Gummo. "I want a mustache dammit, I want to be Bret Reynolds" says Chloe Sevigny's little sister as her two older blond siblings wash a black cat. Funny enough the band Poison plays live in 1986 after John Cusack time travels via Hot Tub Time Machine in Hotel room 420.
This and his appearance alongside Seth Green while searching for DB's treasure in Without A Padlle had me looking at Mr Reynolds' singular poster lineup.
Singular as in awesome syncs, hilarious testosterone fueled mayhem and probably the biggest collection of films I had never heard of..
Some choice picks:
G8tor. Come and get him.
Jim put this up on Twitter yesterday..
I don't even want to know....
Jim:
My most memorable Burt film is smoKEY and the Bandit. Jackie Gleason is seen below using his Jupiter Finger to point to Burt. Jack always brings me back to the Jupiter Jack phone sync.
I like how the word BANDIT can spell BAD TIN. Tin being interchangeable with Jupiter as they share the same alchemical sign. This is also fitting as the logo for the Bandit is a Phoenix/Eagle which connects back to Jupiter as well.
The Jack Key Gleason Jupiter finger reminds me of the commercial I saw tonight on TV for the show Glee which starts up again April 13th. The symbol seems to be a hand making the L shape for Loser, which is also a Jupiter Finger pointing UP.
The Jupiter Finger is also replacing the L and therefore the word can say Gee or G as well.
G for me now symbolizes balance as 7 is a balanced pH.
Makes me think of the film The Losers coming out on 4/23.
The Losers is Theo L'sers. Or Jupiter G people.
Jake: The metal Tin shares its Alchemical symbol with that of Jupiter making them resonators.
Tin & Jupiter veils also the 2, 1 & 4 or BAD.
@syncwinnipeg notes that BandiT is BadTin unveiling both sides of the law as working for Jupiter/Tin.
The Men of The Tin Star (Good/God guys) and the BandiT/BadTin (Devil) are masks of Jupiter.
Tin & Bad (214), double your Jupiter Joy.
In Bandits aka BadTins we see Cate Blanchett and Billy Bob Thornton, both also Pushers of Tin!?
i find mySelf moving past my fascination with a pansynchronous universe/reality/perception at times... mostly when someone familiar with my work/beliefs/point-of-view points out a synk they've 'discovered', and gives me that approval-seeking look. i get this pompous feeling of "yeah, yeah, yeah" or "duh", as if to say "welcome to the club"... i felt it when i began reading the comments left by DarkStar [how apt] on the previous post. as i read further, though, my dark roaring lion of an ego settled, and the whirlwind of pattern recognition transformed into something beautiful and powerful and true, and as Will mentioned, i remembered being there. But that douchebag-ish feeling of entitlement/boredom/resignation still bugged me.
Admittedly, i did not read those exhaustively comprehensive comments... sorry DarkStar. We're being honest here, right? ...by the way, few things irk me more than those self-righteous types who use being honest as an excuse to be a jerk to people... (get it? in the biz, we call that self-deprecating humor)
[self-deprecating; get it? oh, i can do this all day. moving right along...]
as my/our/this journey of self-analysis continues deeper and higher, i find i have to check these moments of "i'm cool cuz i get it"... well, i don't have to check anything... i see it/all in real-life, and the all-and-all not only reminds me how small i am in it, but how big i am in it; not only how i shape it, but how it shapes me. how it checks me, and doesn't let me become complacent, all the while forcing me -to use my favorite quote from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon- to "hold it in stillness". smell the roses...
exhibit a:
while i was researching philosophical examples of manufactured duality for my ongoing analysis of the Lion and the Lamb, i was led time and time again to patterns involving snakes. having recently settled on the comfortable trinity of the Lion, Lamb and Wolf as a framework for my analysis of pop character archetypes [those three are everywhere], i pretty much ignored the snake patterns. soon, as these things go, i was on a phone call with a friend talking that crazy synk-talk when she pointed out Al Pacino's role in Devil's Advocate as the dark surrogate father to keanu -"the one"- reeves mentioned briefly in my last post during my glossed-over study of keanu's pattern of wearing black and white suits in movies. she compared Pacino's "snake in the grass" character to that of the serpent of eden, saying that i couldn't separate the snake from the dark father, just as i couldnt separate god from the devil.
then, as per usual, i got smacked in the head -synkwise- when Doug weighed in via email.
"...I think his 'view' is 100% the view of an ego threatened by its submission to something larger than its finite self. Of course from that point of view everything is evil, thus 'God', the one, becomes the devil..."
philosophical note: it is, i believe, the nature of the ego to be threatened by submission to the larger whole. that submission contradicts the existence and purpose of the ego as we understand it. here at the Whole, there's been a lot of talk about noting spiritual/pop/real-life signals toward ego dissolution via synk -hence the snazzy blog title- and throughout my time here, most of my posts have dealt with my own struggles with leggo-ing my ego. i can't help but connect this devil-god/lion-serpent flip-floppery to the pseudo-duality of the ego-one vs the all-one [that sounds silly just saying it].
[flapjack flip-floppery, that is... since we're doin the pun thing, i must admit to being a waffle-r]
a waffle is just a pancake with a neatly ordered grid
i'm still amazed at how synk tends to push normal-speaking people towards the overuse of simple puns.
!!!
dan [when flip-flopped] is dna which is the serpent who is the devil who is the horned-God pan which is everything, while still somehow being the dark-trickster-snake-in-the-grass side of a duality that doesn't exist. to make paterns worse, the pan, as the devil, is also a winged serpent also called a dragon or flying/rising(resurrectd?) serpent, the kundalini, or the caduceus, etc...
aaaah! scary!
wear the horns of pan, set your pinecone on [hell]fire
when i hear "the dissolution of the ego", now i think of "the expulsion of lucifer", or the "slaying of the dragon", the condemnation/destruction of the snake. this connection revealed to me the problem with my own analysis; synk is not the sword with which we slay the dragon, or sacrifice the goat, it's more like the technique we use to ride the tiger/serpent/lion, to train our dragon, to stare at goats [and if we're lucky, look right into their{our} hearts].
how to train your [tiger-striped] dragon? listen to her
chasing my tail
wait... what?
as much as i enjoy my ego-struggle, more and more i'm realizing my frustration/boredom/yeah-yeah-yeah attitude with synk comes from the idea that there is no battle to fight, no choice to make... trying to dissolve my ego is like trying to drown my dragon in the night sky (and he sees better in the dark). i must learn to fly my dragon through the abyss, i think. to train it to be one with the darkness... man, what it would be like to fly eyes closed through the void...
being in synk...
being in synk means having your waffle and eating it too
The inside of an O makes Theo (Theos/God) as seen in the poster titles for The Hangover and The Losers.
Was caught in an intense sync storm about telephones and contact with the God Self on Jupiter via Beyonce and Lady GaGa earlier today...
Also saw the Walkie on The Losers, a telephone variant. It shares The Losers poster with the THEO (O with The inside of it) and a staggering amount of Jupiter Trigger finger action.
The striped necktie or noose of a Dead Man is pulled towards the Tiger. He is on his Walkie Phoning Home: "Jupiter, do we have Contact?".
The TELIphone is the coiled DNA we use to make Contact. Self realizes self via the Scarlet Dragon of PAN/DAN/DNA/BLOOD and DANce...
In Jewish astronomy this is also identified with the North Pole, the star Thuban which, around 4,500 years ago, was the star in the Draco constellation's "tail".[9] However this can also have been either the celestial pole or the ecliptic pole. The ancient observers noted that Draco was at the top of the celestial pole, giving the appearance that stars were "hanging" from it, and in Hebrew it is referred to as Teli, from talah (תלה) - to hang.[11] Hebrew writers from Arabic-speaking locations identified the Teli as Al Jaz'har, which is a Persian word for a "knot" or a "node" because of the intersection of the inclination of the orbit of a planet from the elliptic that forms two such nodes. In modern astronomy these are called the ascending node and the descending node, but in medieval astronomy they were referred to as "dragon's head" and "dragon's tail".[12] Wiki about Teli at there Dragon page
The Dragon is the poles/axis/pillars or teli and thus resonates telephone.
I was imagining making a video featuring GaGa's Telephone, Beyonces Video Phone and cutting that with stuff like Neo on the Phone in Matrix and E.T... Posted the above image to Twitter with the following comments:
Q: What does Jupiter say when WE/ME call via our spiral cords/DNA/Aya? A: Just DANce.
GaGa embodies the GG or the Twin Sun aka Jupiter, made overt via Jupiter index finger and lightning bolt.
Pan plays the musical flute which activates our dna making our hearts dance. dna=pan=dance
I was quite high after seeing all the syncs in those telephone videos with Jupiter fingers and what not. It felt like a ritual to open the StarGate and communication with the Self.
I had to go for a walk to come down.. When return I notice via comment left on a Facebook at a Toure link that today is GaGa's 24th birthday! This is what I saw 20 seconds after posting the above with references to DNA as PAN and the Scarlet Dragon...
A coffin in Cirque du Freak The Vampire's Assistant from which emits a DNA coil eventually realized as part of a web. Oh boy..
"In this post it is spoken of the Sephiroth and the Paths; of Spirits and Conjurations; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether these exist or not. By doing certain things certain results will follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philosophic validity to any of them." (meaning that this post will be going into esoteric sciences, if thats not your thing this may not be your kind of post)-from the author adlibbed from an Aleister Crowley Introduction
I was excited to see some 93 flow enter the Synch stream here recently as I just finished a book I think anyone with an interest in what Crowley has brought into the times were in should really check out J. Daniel Gunthers latest book from 09 "Initiation in the Aeon of the Child". This book really demystified alot of what many assume about Crowley and his Initiatic or "Magickal" work with the laws of Thelema and the founding of the teaching brotherhood of the A:.A:. If he interests you, I say do some homework on him and youll see through much of the hype, I beleive he is a very important historical figure whos strongly affected the present. Personally I only study Thelema in books and on the internet, but this book contains some really beutiful stuff that even us who arent initiated can understand. Lets roll.
Last year I was writing alot about the "Antahkarana"-The Rainbow Bridge between Heaven and Earth, esoterically resonating the Spine as the Rainbow chakra tower that connects Soul and Body or Heaven and Earth. This Rainbow as a Bridge archetype is recognized throughout world culture, even going back to the Rainbow Promise that God made with Noah, promising he would never flood the Earth again. The Rainbow attracts the idea of the "Other Side", "Over the Rainbow" etc. Rainbows are Light refracted at 42 Degrees.
Now Jupiter the "Heavenly Father"s astrological symbol is a Crescent overcoming a Cross, Spirit overcoming MaTter, and aesthetically resonates a 4 and a 2 or or a 2 and a 4, 24,42.
So Jupiter resonating 42 and the Union of Spirit and Matter, we now can connect that to the "Rainbow Bridge" of Soul and Body, or Spirit and Matter. This brings us to Alchemy, in which the goal of the work is the "Spiritualization of Matter" or turning Lead to Gold. This process of Spiritualizing Matter and turning Lead to Gold goes through many stages, which have colors attached to them, thus the whole process is the transmutation of Matter through the Rainbow, what Alchemists called "The Peakocks Tail" effect where the matter being worked with would go through a rainbow spectrum of stages in transformation.
Above is a shot from Alejandro Jodorowksys "The Holy Mountain", featuring a rainbow Bridgeg that leads to an Alchemist between the Two Pillars of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. This image is also a mix of the "Hight Preistess Tarot Card, and its Sucessor The Emperor. The High Preistess represents Cosmic Unconscious Wisdom, the Higher Inuition and the Rainbow Bridge over the Abyss of Daath upon the Middle Pillar of the tree. Now this also is a process on the spiritual plane of the Alcheist, going through the spectrum of the Rainbow in transformation can also be interpereted as the Balancing of the Chakras toward the balanced Union of Soul and Body.
Now 42 in Egypt was the number of Gods to be faced and satisfied in the Courts of Maat in the Underworld or Afterlife called the Duat. So once again another 42 and the archetype of two worlds, Spiritual and Material, Afterlife and the Physical world etc. We can now say that the Rainbow, Egyptian Otherworld, Jupiter, and Alchemy all resonate uniting Spirit and Matter or Heaven and Earth which attracts the Rainbow or 42. Now to sum much of this up, I mention Saggitarius, the Sign of the Bowman (David Bowman=DB=42, goes to Jupiter-42). This Astrological House is ruled by Jupiter, and is symbolized by A Centaur Aiming its Arrow(the will) toward the Heavens or the Divine. Now we can add Saggitarius into the mix and say that the Half Animal/Physical and Half Man/Divine being ruled by Jupiter is also an attractor between the Bridge of Heaven and Earth. Now the Thelemic path revolves much around the Kabbala and the Tree of Life, and Amazingly Saggitarius Tarot Card Unites the Opposite spheres of the Sun and the Moon, and resides on the Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life, also known as the "Rainbow Bridge". This Card symbolizes the Spiritualization of Matter, and the Alchemical Process of VITRIOL. Visit the Center of the Earth and you will find the Hidden Stone. As pictured written across the Rainbow behind the Goddess Diana who is mixing Alchemical Sulfer and Salt, the Rainbow Bridge emenating from the Cauldron of her Root Chakra and up and over her shoulders, if you look closely an arrow Issues from the central stream rising from the fire and water mixing in the cauldron, this Arrow is the Will of Man to become divine or transcend animal nature.
Here we can see the Saggitarian Flow of the Middle Pillar or Rainbow Bridge continue with the Bow of Diana upon the Lap of the High Preistess as she whirls an Astral Rainbow. The Arrow continues upward after being Issued from Saggitarius or the Art Tarot Card/Path Betweeen the Spheres of the Sun and Moon. The preistess is on the "Other Side", Art is the Balance between the two, the Rainbow starts in Art and Ends in the High preistess when traveling from the Bottom of the tree to the top.
Mans desire to overcome animal nature has is the story of civilization, technology is the manifestation of mans desire to transform the nature around him according to whats inside of him. This is also why the Tin Man is very saggitarian because he represents the higher aspects of the Centaur, because the bowman aims upwards he represents man who has overcome his body through consciousness, and Artificial Intelligence and the Transhumanist movement is the embodyment of the Saggitarian Tin Mans energy, lovely that Tin is the Metal of Jupiter, and Jupiter rules Saggitarius.
Now I breif you with all of that 42/Bridge between Animal and Man and Spirit and Matter stuff because having understood all of that Last year, I was amazed this Winter to find while reading "Initiation In the Aeon of the Child", a 4 page section of the book (centered around page 142, Jupiter Numbers), which communicated every seperate 42 connection I mentioned above and Wrote about in 2009 having no foreknowledge of the Initiatic System of The A:.A:. and Thelemas focus upon Saggitarius, the Bow and Arrow and the Rainbow. If you have any interest in Crowleys Methods or Esoteric Sciences please read on, if you dont, you probaly wont find this all interesting.
This Chapter ill be sharing is called Myself Made Perfect or Asar Un Nefer. We start at the paragraph "The Two Arrows", already pointing us toward the Importance of Saggitarius and the Bowman. This Journey of Initiation starts beutifully at the Bottom of the Tree of Life, fittingly starting in the Earthly 10th and final Sphere on the tree called Malkuth, meaning Kingdom, symbolic of the Material world, also the Material Body. The Aim of Initiation is to realize ones Divinity, to Spiritualize Matter, to "Gain knowledge and power of the Nature of ones being". This must start first with the physical world as it is if we plan to transmute it to Gold. So this first stage starting at the Bottom of the Tree is Identified with the Alchemical Process of Nigredo or Death-Putrifacton, this begins the process of what is called "Fixing the volatile" or perfecting ones nature, reminding me of the film thats coming out "How to train your Dragon", the Dragon to me symbolizing Energy and Mastery of the Earthly world and the Animal Nature of the Self and its Desires, this very much resonates with the process of Nigredo. This beutifully connects us to Saggitarius and the Animal Half of the Centaur which he aims to Evolve away from- his lower animal nature. The Above Saggitarius Tarot card "Art" or "Temperence" is the Hebrew Letter Samekh which Means Serpent. How to Train your Samekh beutifully resonates with the Bowman-Saggitarian Jupiter flow of 2010
Note what looks like Inscense burning upward from the Hat of the person here, and the Samekh-Serpent-Saggitarian Nature of How to Train your Dragon as we read along.
This also being the Year of the Tiger, reminds me of the Tiger Rug that Shiva is seated upon, symbolizing the Sublimation of Animal Desire.
Shiva having completed the Nigredo process is evolved beyond Animal Nature, we can interperet this image of Shiva as a symbol of the satisfaction of the Saggitarian Aims, no longer is Shiva half animal like the centaur, but Shiva is seated upon the Skin of the Dead Animal. This sublimation of the Animal self is symbolized by the Alchemical Process of the Whitening, the purification process after the Decomposition of Nigredo. In the System of Thelema the Initiate progresses up the tree through the alchemical Process of Albedo or the Whitening, and then finally the Rubedo or the reddening at the top of the Tree or Holy Mountain. Click the Image below and read along.
Above is described the path of Saggitarius, the path of the Hebrew letter Samekh. This path connects the Sphere of the Moon-Yesod to the Sphere of the Sun Tiphareth, also communicating the Unity of Opposites, as well as the Upward aim of the Arrow or the will toward Divinity. The Authoralso mentions that this Upward arrow toward the Divine is symbolised by the Burning of Inscense, reminding us of the poster of How to Train your Dragon
Above on page 142 we can see the Twin Current of the Vapors coming from the Alchemical Vessel, these Vapors resonating with the Thelemic Currents of Love and Will, as well as the Antahkarana Bridge between Heaven and Earth. On page 143 on the right we can See the Lunar Archer aiming at the Sun, resonating with the Saggitarian unity of Opposites. All of which describe a twin currents of Upward and Downward nature, in Alchemy its Vapor, in the Antahkarana its the Negative Karma that is sent to the center of the Earth which Burns up and Energy then Rises up and into the Center of the Universe, or VITRIOL wherein the Center of the Earth is the location of the Hidden Stone which transmutes energy, wherein the Saggitarian Arrow of Divine Will rises up and into G<3d. onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_dav06SXQhyphenhyphen8H2aNVc92-8x8SQqbnGwzRnf1sGhk6BCfIG9RidwvVivPydDQ09rKrgRk4uXo3cCgekUOjl7No7gNHrIfgDABwhyphenhyphenFXUkjhO_srzEspN2kRObM-KvhchPVdFkJJn3hi5FZ/s1600/Chakras-God-Chakra-Earth-Chakra-Connection-Antahkarana-Meditation.jpg">
Rainbow Tower of the Spine which Unites Heaven and Earth as well as the Rainbow Spectrum of Chakras. Read along if you will.
On the left here on page 144 we can see Archers aiming for the Center, the paragraph beneath susynchedly mentions the 42nd Spell of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, this book describes the journey of the Soul through the Courts of the "Other Side"or the Duat, wherein the goddess of Truth Maat Weighs the Souls Heart upon a Scale in balance with an Ostrich Feather. So here we have the Saggitarian Archers path ruled by Jupiter /42, and then a proclaimation from the Egyptian Book of the Dead saying "My Chest is the Chest of Neith"(also pointing toward the heart-42). The Author mentions the Bow and Arrow of Neith being symbolized as an X and often also associated with the Crook and Scourge which Osiris holds crossed over his Chest. X is the 24th letter in the English Alphabet, resonating 42, as well as X being the 10th Roman Numeral appearing on Jupiters Tarot card "The Wheel of Fortune".
The Author also mentions the crossed bow and arrow of Neith, who ruled over the body part of the Chest or Breast in the book of the Dead, has the Crook and Scourge across the chest also reminds us of "Cross my Heart and hope to Die". The Author also reminds us that the Central Sphere of the Tree of Life Tiphareth- The Sun is symbolic of the Heart of Man and the Center, considering Saggitarius the author also Mentions Cupid and his Arrow aimed at the Heart, also reminding me of Jake Kotzes work pointing out that Saggitarius' arrow in the stars Points directly at the Heart of the Milky Way.
The above pages describe a beutiful encryption in the Tree of Life, the central Path of Saggitarius which Aims toward the Central Sun, the path being Symbolic of the Arrow, is surrounded by the 3 paths beneath the Sun, Qoph(the Moon) Shin(The Aeon) and Tau(the Universe). These paths all rule the Earthly realm of the Tree of life, but amazingly also Spell the word Quesheth or Bow in Hebrew! So the Arrow of Samekh Saggitarius is Aimed by the firm hand of Yesod at the Heart or Sun-Tiphareth.
Finally the last page sums up the Rainbow Promise between God and Noah in Biblical times, and continues on about the Rainbow Process of the Alchemical Peacocks tail, and how these formulae play into the ideas of Crowleys proclaimed current Aeon of Horus, wherein Love is the Law, Love Under Will. Theres No better symbolism for Love than the Heart, and the Will is beutifully represented by an Arrow.
I also want to show one more of Crowleys work for more connections between the Jupiter Saggitarian Arrow and the 42, that is his Vision of the Arrow of Saggitarius. Beutifully mentioned in this vision is that the Saggitarian Arrow of Samekh is plumed with the Ostrich Feathers of Maat(Ostrich eggs incubate for 42 days), Maat being the Goddess who weighs the Heart after 42 Laws or Gods are met. This is from a Visionary Meditation of Aleister Crowley from his book "The Vision and the Voice".
Its up to Us, Evolve or Devolve in 2010, I greet the Archer in all of you!
Im feeling 2010 is the Year Soul meets Body, 2012 is when they become Singular(ity 11:11)
I also have to reccomend putting the following song on in the morning all this year for tiger power!
RIDE THE TIGER!
"Weve got something to learn from the Other Side, weve got somethin to give and nothin to Hide! Ride the Tiger!"
"Riders of the Rainbow, Let it Grow, Let it Grow!
Thats all for now folks, much love, ride the Tiger!
