Surfing the Net

According to various media reports the official World Cup 2010 soccer ball, the Jabulani, has disrupted the flow of the tournament. The balls flight has been described as unpredictable and it's being blamed for producing some of the lowest scoring early matches in World Cup history.

So far the main villain of the World Cup has been the ball itself.

8 bonded 3d moulded Polyurethane panels make the Jabulani a near-waterproof 'roundest ever' ball but despite it being the most spherical thing known to mankind it just hasn't improved the game in the way Adidas first anticipated.

Because of the Jabulani's erratic behaviour its been nicknamed the 'Jumanji Ball' after the Robin Williams movie.

In the Jumanji poster we see the numbers 2 and 3 highlighted on the pair of dice.

23 is a sacred number associated with Chaos and Discord which syncs nicely with the Jabulani/Jumanji which has been dubbed 'highly unpredictable'.

Robin dribbles the Jumanji in Mrs. Doubtfire:

The Game is opening a new doorway within the Mother Man.

I like how Robin has his belly highlighted in the above poster.

This year a new portal has been opened in Africa, the Mother Land, birthplace of humanity and CAPstone of civilization.

Jakes graphic (from the World PUC) shows that the Doorway (or lid of the Coffin) opens with the sound of the Angels Trumpet.

This brings us to the other villain of this years World Cup, a traditional South African horn called the Vuvuzela.

The Vuvuzela has received some harsh criticism because it's hampered communication between players on the pitch, it's drowned out the crowd chants, and the sound has been likened to an angry swarm of killer bees.

I personally like the unique buzzing noise the Vuvezula brings to the game but people generally seem to think that the insect drone should be stamped out...like a bug.

In Red Sun Ja Jake pointed out that a movie called The Sorcerors Apprentice shares it's initials with SA/South Africa. He also noted that the word SORCEROR is pretty darn close to SOCCER.

The Sorceror's Apprentice posters, which were released in the run-up to the World Cup, show that The Villian of the movie has the ability to manipulate swarms of droning Vuvezula-resonating insects. It also kinda looks like his belly is beginning to open.

While the Vuvezula drone is smothering the World Cup in SA another swarm of insects has been making a big impact in the Land of OZ.

The bugs seem to be getting a lot of BAD press these days.

In the image above I noticed that The Villain has a Net/Grid pattern synk-kissing the side of his body.

We find the same thing on the Soccer Apprentice's chequered Grid shirt. (again notice the highlighted belly!)

While following this tangent I realized that the NET seems to be an integral part of the ApprENTice.

A close-up of the Jabulani shows that the 'aero grooves' create a Grid/Net pattern across the balls surface.

The Karate Kid (released as the World Cup kicked off) is seen practicing his soccer techniques on the Grid:

He also makes Contact with the Beijing International Stadium which once again entrains with the Grid/Net pattern.

In the War of the World Cup I looked at how Aliens seem to have a few things in common with this years soccer tournament. The dread-locked Predator (whose hair reminds me of Karate Kid Jaden Smiths^) also wears the Net.

The Alien Grid:

ET in the nET:

While thinking about the relevance of the Grid/nET pattern this Crop Circle appeared in England on the day of the Summer Solstice.

This new Crop Circle seems to be symbolic of the Golden Heart.

In this ValenTINe's Day poster we see that the Heart encompasses the Grid.

Julia Roberts, star of ValenTINe's Day, seems to have a couple of things in common with Tin - an element which shares its symbol with the planet Jupiter.

In the movie Hook Julia Roberts plays the role of Tinkerbell alongside Robin Williams, an actor who entrains with the Jabulani aka Jumanji World Cup soccer ball.

In Love Actually we find the Heart once again marked by the Grid/Net.

'From the makers of NotTINg Hill'

plaNET = eartH = Heart

While looking at the Golden Heart-Net in this months Summer Solstice Crop Circle I was reminded of the pattern found within the Spider Web.

In Spiderman 3 Peter Parker makes Contact with an Alien/ET which crash lands on our plaNET. The entity merges with his Grid patterned costume and turns the Bugman into a Villain.

I recently noticed that this Inception poster is saturated with the Web/Grid pattern. Like Spidey the people in the poster seem to be capable of walking on walls.

Another poster places emphasis on the City Grid...

...reminding me of this scene where NEO makes Contact with The Architect for the very first time.

In yet another Inception poster we see that the City Grid is beginning to curl up into a giant Tidal Wave:

This suggests to me that the Matrix is bending and warping as more and more people get in touch with the LEO/NEO/ONE/NOW.

We find another reference to the Tidal Wave (and LEO the Lion) in the new Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer. Notice that the kids have their backs turned, just like the figures in the Inception poster above.

In the Dawn Treader trailer there's a lot of emphasis placed on Water. The Wave seems to represents a WaterG8 through which the Children pass into the realm of Narnia.

The kids must sync before they can fully embrace the dream world.

Welcome, you have come far, but your journey lies beyond



The Lion Aslan is voiced by actor Liam Neeson. This (M)other Man seems to bee linked to the Grid/Net in a couple of ways:

In an episode of The Simpsons Liam Neeson/Zeus, in the role of a Wholey Man, speaks to Homer through the Net:

MarTIN Lawrence, the time-travelling Black Knight, points to the A:
The KARD/DARK Grid:

In the newly released Shrek: Forever After we see that the time-travelling Green Man has his eye on the ball:

In the trailer I noticed that he grabs a plaque which has a Red Lion insignia...

...and uses it to Surf the Grid/Net patterned roof-tops:

References to the Grid/Net can also be found in Toy Story 3.

Not long into the movie, Woody, with his chequered shirt, climbs up onto a shelf in Andy's bedroom and passes by the dark shadow of a Surfer:

This Dark Man/Surfer is a key symbol in the World Cup 2010 logo and gives us a direct link between Tom Hanks and the Tidal Wave.

As if to emphasise this World Cup connection Woody passes the Dark Man/Surfer, climbs on top of the shelf, and looks at the image of a Soccer Ball.

Also notice in the above image that there's a Sk8board-resonating-Surfboard just beneath the ball.

In the movie Castaway Tom Hanks/Woody befriends a ball (see War of the World Cup for more on this) called Wilson.

Wilson syncs with the Jabulani/Jumanji soccer ball via the W, 23rd letter of the alphabet.

When Tom Hanks/Woody makes his last ditch attempt to escape The Island he takes the Soccer Ball with him for good luck.

The Jabulani is by his side as he takes on the Tidal Wave:

In Castaway this Wave symbolizes a wall/barrier that Tom must overcome before he can finally exit The Island.

Before he can Pierce the Net he must first learn to read between the lines.

The Ghost (Swayze) teaches NEO how to reach Breaking Point. Before he can overcome the Wave he must first learn to become ONE with the floW.

The Tidal Wave seems to symbolize a flux in The Matrix which is forcing us to confront and integrate the darker aspects of our own Being. We need to try and come to terms with our inner-Villain (the part of us that tries to sabotage our own life) before we can become the (M)other Man and connect with the chilDREN.

If we take the Net/Grid and the Tidal Wave and splice these two threads together we can see that this pattern seems to represent some kind of bend, or distortion, in Space/Time.

In War of the World Cup I looked at how the Sink Hole (like the one which appeared recently in Guatemala City) seems to have an important role to play in all this.

The Sink Hole points to the Worm Whole - a Bridge which unites/splices/eclipses the two halves and makes them ONE.

We've sensed the flux in The Matrix. We've seen the signs. NOW...it's happening.

In the movie 12 Monkeys time-travelling Bruce Willis aligns with the Web/Grid/Net while wearing a 2010 TiGGer shirt.

I like to think that our 2010 climb up the Tidal Wave is simply preparation for Contact with the Whole plaNET which will reach its climax in 2012.

Once we've overcome this years Wave (I don't think it's going to be plain sailing) and entered the Rabbit Hole (sometime in 2011: Year of the Rabbit) then we'll find that the Water Fall awaits us...

How we choose to face the Fall is going to be paramount. If we go off the edge with a smile, with the intention that we're going to enjoy the ride, then we'll have absolutely nothing to fear.

The dream will carry us through the Whole...and then beyond some.

If we can learn to trust that the Net is there to catch us as we Fall then we can relax, enjoy the Game, and work together to score the ultimate Goal, the one which sends the crowds wild and wins us the World Cup.

The Goal of the Soul is to have fun while we floW.

Happy surfing fellow Dren-lings!

Much love to you all.

Jim:

Seeing those INNER TUBES made me think of our own INNER PORTALS that we can access so as to have fun while flowing. I would think our Inner Tube would be our heart.

Our torus shaped vortex of flow that ride with joy down Spirit River, or Spirit Water Slide..


Time to go sliding!


RA: Been seeing this Nokia advert on TV a lot lately featuring the Tinman and people riding tube-shaped motorbikes.

  3. RA,
    the Cosmic Tigger aligned theft of JONAS (Jason/John) the Tiger and the two Camels on their way to the BOWMANville ZOO were found safe in St. EDMUND (King Edmund in Narnia!).


    Missing tiger, camels found alive
    Tuesday, June 22, 2010 | 6:38 AM ET

    Two camels and a tiger that have been missing since Friday have been found.Camels Shawn and Todd, and Jonas the tiger have been found in Saint-Edmond-de-Grantham, in the Drummondville, Que., area. After finding them on a rural road late on Monday night, officials described all three animals as being "alive and well."The animals were found not far from where they were stolen. They had been missing since Friday when thieves made off with a Ford truck from a parking lot near Saint-Hyacinthe, Que. The animals were in a trailer attached to the vehicle. They were found in that same trailer.The animals were being transported from a touring circus in Nova Scotia to the Bowmanville Zoo, east of Toronto, which was offering a reward for their safe return. The zoo had been very concerned for their health — they worried the tiger would suffer kidney failure if he wasn't getting water.No arrests have been made in the case and police have no suspects, but they say the animals appear to have been cared for during their disappearance.



    and the original story covering the theft...

    The hunt is on to find two camels and a tiger somewhere on the roads of Quebec and Ontario.

  4. Also wanted to mention the NEXT Lunar Eclipse:

    2010 Jan 15: Annular Solar Eclipse
    2010 Jun 26: Partial Lunar Eclipse
    2010 Jul 11: Total Solar Eclipse
    2010 Dec 21: Total Lunar Eclipse



    2010 Dec 21: Total Lunar Eclipse

    Right around Christmas... just in time for the next Narnia movie, and corresponding to the infamous December 21st, 2012 date.

    From Wikipedia on December 2012:

    December 21 – The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the pre-Columbian Maya civilization among others, completes a "great cycle" of thirteen b'ak'tuns (periods of 144,000 days each) since the mythical creation date of the calendar's current era.

  5. a slight digression...

    and speaking of Miley / MIREY (hmry)
    remember the Egyptian winged goddess MA'AT

    Here's the semitic version...

    MoT

    Mot 'Death', son of 'El, according to instructions given by the god Hadad (Ba‘al) to his messengers, lives in a city named hmry ('Mirey'), a pit is his throne, and Filth is the land of her heritage.


    Which puts this vid in a whole new light...
    Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed

    "...tell you to go to HELL, yeah..."

    and the peacock feathers...

    Melek Ta'us - the peacock angel of the Yazidis.
    Equivalent of MT, MA'AT, MOT

  6. ... I suppose before anyone starts thinking I'm talking devils and demons...
    I'm NOT!

    I'm thinking of it this way...

    Black HOLE
    Empty
    MT
    MoT ('M'aa'T', 'M'elek 'T'aus)

    The Cage in the Miley vid being equivalent to the black hole 'grid'.

  7. Loved the Miley video StrangEye. I read Jims update about the inner tube and moments later watched as Miley sat inside the torus shaped birds nest. Sweet.

    The other day I caught an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in which Will Smith dresses up in a big blue Peacock cheerleader outfit. Carlton was trapped in a bird cage just like Miley. Cheers for all the info.

    Chis, thanks for the pic. Reminds me of someone spinning plates.

    Jim, I've still got my fingers X'd that I can come see you guys before 2010 comes to a close. Looks like you all had a grand time. Wish I could have been there.

  9. Genie-ous. You always floor me Richard. Love it.
    --Jake and I were talking Jaws outside the Ledge, and at the same instant you were blogging Jaws w/ the exact camera angle that Jake described to me. So connected to the flow.

    If the money comes, get w/ Will--I know he might be planning a Tigger trip before we start into the Rabbit Whole. Good luck to ya!

  10. Sorry if I mentioned this already, but a few posts back, someone mentioned the "Daytrippers" movie.

  11. Thanks for reminding me Alan!

    Dawn Treader = 42 !
    D=4, T=20=2

    Sailing the seas on the "42"

    and the new voice of Reepicheep in the upcoming Narnia movie...

    Simon PEGG !

    (The nickname of WinniPEG is of course, "the PEG")


    From Wikipedia
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_Treader

    They first make landfall in the Lone Islands, nominally Narnian territory but fallen away from Narnian ways: in particular the slave trade flourishes here, despite Narnian law stating that it is forbidden. Caspian, Lucy, Edmund, Eustace and Reepicheep are captured as merchandise by a slave trader, and a man "buys" Caspian before they even reach the slave market. He turns out to be the first lost lord, Lord Bern, who moved to the islands and married a woman there after being banished from Narnia by Miraz. When Caspian reveals his identity, Bern acknowledges him as King. Caspian reclaims the islands for Narnia, and replaces Gumpas, the greedy governor, with Lord Bern, whom he names Duke of the Lone Islands.

  12. It may be relevant to note that when one has 'lived intoxicated' by alcohol for some time (alcoholic) they will often suffer the DT's (Delerium Tremens) when they begin the road to Recovery.

    The acronym DT is also sometimes loosely used in place of the word "DeToxification"

  13. @RA,

    found this interesting picture of ALEK WEK with the World Cup Adidas Jabulani Ball (JB! / Jachin Boaz / Jacobus Burgundus) not to mention the resonance with the 3 ruffians of Freemasonry lore.

    There are 3 aerodynamic panels on the Jabulani Ball.

    anyway, in the photo with Alek Wek:
    That ball sure looks like the typical "grey alien" face.
