Of all the characters currently acting out on the global stage, my personal favorite is Steve Jobs. From his priestly black mock-turtleneck and 501 jeans to his adoption of the Fruit of Knowledge as a corporate symbol, to the fact that Var actually got a personal phone call from him way back in 1999 - because back then Steve/Hermes still answered emails with personal calls when so moved.
Steve is looking a might specterish these days, and for me he’s beginning to resemble S. R. Hadden, the “eccentric and reclusive billionaire industrialist who is fundamental in deciphering the alien's message” from the movie ‘Contact’. The alien “message” comes via the 'Very Large Array' in New Mexico, so of course Var is visiting there this summer, around July 4...
The VLA are really Very Large Ears. Let's eavesdrop...
Steve, or Prometheus, who is more or less responsible for giving us the “forbidden fruit” or “stolen fire” of machine intelligence (VALIS) by creating an interface that even apes can understand (and was struck in the liver for his gift) is now presenting his vision for the next Apple HQ, which is either a spaceship, the Ring, Atlantis, or one element of Ellie Arroway’s stargate... you decide.
The Pentagon is a 5 pointed star, which is the the number of Venus, Isis, or Mary, the divine feminine. The “soldiers of Venus”, AKA the “Marines” would live in a 5 pointed star, except that “death star” was “destroyed” during the 911 terrorist attack. Almost like the first Contact Device was destroyed in a terrorist attack in ‘Contact’. The apple is associated with Venus because when sliced in twain, the pattern of the seeds creates a pentagram. So really, a ring named Apple = Pentagram.
Of course, Israel also has a certain recognizable shape:
In ‘Contact’, the first stargate was destroyed by fundamentalists (who see only the material or 'fundament'), but a second was created. Hmmm. New Jerusalem? Dare I take a bite of new stargate pizza? Hell, I already have. Tasty!
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.” --1 Corinthians 15:45

The Pentagon attack was the Eucharist. The Priest (the Magician) draws down the power of Spirit--the element of Air[plane]--into the consecrated pentacle (pentagon) of earth. "Heaven and earth have been joined."
This was American Airlines Flight 77, as in the "lightning flash" on the Tree of Life represented by the number 777. Lots of Thelemic resonators--A∴A∴ 77?
Astonishingly simple, innit?
See: The Holy Sigil of the A∴A∴--that of Babalon (Iraq).
I loved "Contact" and am thinking of viewing it with some friends again soon. I've been having a movie night at my house once a month where we watch flicks with a spiritual theme of some sort and then discuss. So, thanks for the reminder!
Michael,
Great post. Thank you for putting some of the Contact stuff out there. It seems so important right now.
You wrote "a RING named Apple"...FYI, in Japanese, "Apple" is "Ringo" (see also Ringo Starr on Apple records)
El,
77 + The Tree of Life struck by lightning:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/06/08/national/main20070184.shtml
"Seventy-seven AIR FORCE cadets are being sent to a local hospital after a lightning strike"
Also, since AA are my initials, I am fascinated to see my name broken up from Babalon into ALON ABBA[dessa]
Alan: That story is really amazing. Did I cause that? Sorry, guys.
Refer also to the ending of this Carl Barks story where Daisy the graal maiden is saved by the "AIR FORCE" weilding a ball of "GLUE"--as in the gluten of the white eagle, presumably (solve et coagula). Barks must be some kind of warlock, I swear.
I'm sure you've seen the latest MoG post about Ringu ...
Steve's Levi's 501 genes--like the Tribe of Levi that Moses belonged to when he received the iTablets.
Ringu? Amazing. While doing jodie foster + "Contact" = 9/11/2001 research this week, I came upon her movie "Inside Job" or "Inside Man".... the entire plot revolves around a RING and there is a note reading "Follow the Ring." I took that as a personal message.
I haven't made it through the entire MOG post yet. So much there. Also, that's the reason I didn't knock it out of top place with this addition (even though I knew you'd get a major kick out of it). I put it up on Look At All the THC but it's also in the MOG drafts if you want to play with it.
El: the Eucharist? You know Apple HQ is in CUPertino.
Riverwolf: Yea, been thinking I need to watch that again as well.
Alan: That's a crazy 77 story, thanks for syncing!
Curiously, the old HP campus (where Steve got his start) resembles a mirror image of Israel, especially with the "bite" taken out of it. The reason for the bit out of the HP campus is because it was a group of homeowners who refused to sell out... Palestinians, much?
good stuff!
(and I love to see the Three Musketeers mixing it up)
i like it! "listen up", 5 pointed stars, Venus...it's that hierophant again :)
and not to beat a dead (1/2) horse, but also syncing with the stolen fire, as well as the 77s and lightening mentioned above is the discovery of Chiron in 1977.
Thanks Doug.
Crystal: Did Chiron play the "scapegoat" role in order to free Prometheus?
i hadn't thought of that before michael, chiron totally played the scapegoat role. someone had to pay!
