Pit Stop on the Highway to Hell


A pitted Olive. It sent Oliver to doggie emergency last weekend on Sept. 24. (he’s recovering nicely, thanks).


Brad Pitt, who is Tyler Durden, the destroyer of ego.


Dr. Manhattan, who is blue and destroys the world.


Shiva, who is blue and is called the Destroyer of Worlds.


Physicist Robert Oppenheimer, Supervising Scientist Manhattan Project.
"...now I am become Death [Shiva], the destroyer of worlds..." 

Dirk Pitt, who rose the Titanic from the abyss. Played by Matthew McConaughey.


The pits of Greg Plitt, the real-life model for Dr. Manhattan.


Goldmember, who like Osiris, has a golden phallus.
Often, he talks to his armpits in a ritual-like fashion, usually whispering proper sources of certain phrases for copyright purposes. For example, after saying "And that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it," quietly comments to the side "KC and the Sunshine Band." 

Apollyon, the Destroyer, ascending from the Pit.


Cryptic message from “Sachin” on Sept. 24.
The name Sachin is derived, via Indic languages like Bengali and Marathi, from the Sanskrit name Shachindra. Shachindra is a name given to Hindu mythological god Indra which means Shachi’s Indra. Shachi was one of the wives of Indra. It is the other name of Hindu god Shiva.

Shock and Awe 2012

"In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world" ~ Ronald Reagan, Speech to the United Nations General Assembly, 42nd General Assembly, September 21, 1987
Some of my earliest work at Gosporn was about the alien savior/threat meme, how it was possible that the alien invader might be standing in for an invasion of cosmic consciousness come to a small planet of egoic apes. In the bible, this is called the Second Coming, with Jesus/Lucifer arriving in his flying cuboid New Jerusalem to bring peace, understanding and collective galactic consciousness. Anyone can join, as long as you kill your ego. This is essentially what Terrence McKenna was saying - that by 2012 the Id would likely manifest as a global ‘close encounter’.


Back then I felt like a voice preaching in the wilderness, because everyone into alien conspiracy theory was all about aliens as demons, reptilians, etc. Hollywood has been exceptionally busy this year making alien invasion films that glorify the military and demonize aliens, and yea, you could say it’s all more of the same since that’s what Hollywood always does but damn it if the timing isn’t interesting.

Both National Geographic and Discovery Channel did alien invasion “what if” scenarios that hammer home the existential threat of an alien invasion, painting the aliens as being like Nazis, only worse, much worse.



From the Watchman? A “watch” man might be someone interested in the timing of global events.
"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government." ~ Henry Kissinger speaking at Evian, France, May 21, 1992 Bilderburg meeting.
It’s interesting that Kissinger calls out the City of Angels, since that is exactly where the Battle of Los Angeles is set, and also the city first hit in Independence Day. If I were leading an army of angels/aliens on a mission to destroy egoic illusion, then perhaps I would strike first at the center of the illusion making machinery.


I can easily imagine the military industrial complex creating an alien threat as the latest economic stimulus package, that’s what they always do, and they’re fresh out of commies and even terrorists are wearing thin. The only real threat to American hegemony might come from outside this world.

The Shekinah

In Port Townsend on 9/10, a woman passed me on the sidewalk and I hear her exclaim “shock and awe” as we passed. I presume she was talking to her husband, but I was the one listening. “Shock and awe” is a military tactic used during the invasion of Iraq that is code for Shekinah, the dwelling place of the LORD. The code implies that America is in possession of the Shekinah or Ark of the Covenant, and therefor all her foes will be defeated as were the foes of the Israelites, since obviously, America is New Israel and we cast ourselves as the Chosen People. George Lucas lays it all out in Raiders of the Lost Ark.



Many have considered the hydrogen bomb to be the modern Shekinah, no doubt Harry Truman, 33 degree Freemason, considered it so. However, the National Geographic alien invasion propaganda makes me wonder. The show specifically states that the aliens would employ “shock and awe” against humanity. But how could they, since WE have the Shekinah?

The Seventh Seal
The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great-- and for destroying those who destroy the earth." Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm. ~Revelation 11:18-19
Oops. The aliens DO have the Shekinah. As National Geographic (and Independence Day) go to great trouble to convey, nukes are impotent against the alien Ark of the Covenant. And if the aliens have the Ark, that would make earth the equivalent of “Jericho”, soon to be invaded by the alien “Israelites”.

This makes for good theater, and allow me write up a possible screen play:

1. A mysterious celestial object is discovered by astronomers to be heading towards earth. It could be an asteroid, small planet, etc. Mass media reports 24/7, theories, speculation, paranoia creeps in. Military discloses that they have reason to believe the UFO is a credible threat.

2. NASA reveals that the UFO is hollow, maybe a space station (“that’s no moon!”). Massive public effort to communicate with UFO, American Idol contests, etc. It remains unresponsive. Paranoia grows.

3. As the UFO nears earth, earthquakes and lightning storms suddenly increase. Paranoia turns to fear. Psychics, UFO abductees chime in.

4. Republicans pushes for the militarization of space - the Gaia Defense Initiative. Public pressure mounts in favor. Previously secret technology: energy beam weapons, anti-grav, zero-point energy is revealed and the next great space race is on, geeks and war nerds are in hog heaven.

5. Governments agree to work together against the universal threat, Ronald Reagan’s dream of a planet united in fear is realized. A One World Government.

6. Massive bombardment against death star UFO from earth. Unsuccessful.

7. Holy Man tells all earthlings to unite in a special prayer to empower Ion Cannon and destroy death star. All earth combines in a single prayer.

8.The Ion Cannon is successful. UFO does a 'Passover', causes no harm. Earth breaths huge sigh of relief, Age of Aquarius, NWO is welcomed by all.

In the aftermath, some may consider that we’ve been had. Perhaps a UFO Truth Movement will result. But it won’t really matter because soon enough, along will come the next existential threat to grab the headlines, another time around the Karma loop.

Cowboys and Aliens

I know this does’t make any sense, but I’m thinking about 911, aliens and cowboys all at the same time, and Doonsebury just nailed it.

The War of the Worlds - 2012

“On Sunday, October 30, 1938, millions of radio listeners were shocked when radio news alerts announced the arrival of Martians. They panicked when they learned of the Martians' ferocious and seemingly unstoppable attack on Earth. Many ran out of their homes screaming while others packed up their cars and fled. Though what the radio listeners heard was a portion of Orson Welles' adaptation of the well-known book, ‘War of the Worlds’ by H. G. Wells, many of the listeners believed what they heard on the radio was real.”
On May 22, 2011, National Geographic ran its own version of the War of the Worlds, creating a “documentary” on the subject of an alien attack on earth, and how that might play out. They pulled out all the stops: big CGI effects, dramatic music, “expert” testimony, etc. I finally watched it today. Jesus... they hit all the buttons:


  • Compared the aliens to Nazis, and predatory cats.
  • Portray the aliens as incommunicative - “unknowable”.
  • The aliens destroy “civilization” (F-18’s, missiles, bombs, weapons factories, etc.)
  • In the absence of alien communication, they assume the worst.
  • Invoke Ronald Reagan’s famous alien invasion speech.
  • Showed human beings at our worst in a disaster, using Hurricane Katrina as an example. (looting Walmart - the horror!)
  • Shock and Awe, or Shekinah.
  • Portray the aliens harvesting all organic life, beaming up the trees, cows and people.
  • All the nations of the world combine to combat the threat (Armageddon).

Artful propaganda to be sure, and why the hell National Geographic has become a Fox News - Steven Spielberg clone is a great question - sort of exceeding their mandate. What was wrong with bare breasted African ladies?

I dunno, but with 2012 coming up and Terrance McKenna’s prediction of the Id manifesting as an alien spaceship in 2012, I find this all very curious. I'd link to the NG site tonight, but apparently their server is down... just like in their alien invasion scenario.

UPDATE:

I've been checking out the NG site (now that they're back online) and wow have I been out of touch. NG doesn't do trips into the Amazon much anymore, now it's all 911, Hitler and aliens. They're like the Discovery Channel - war, disaster and paranoia, 24/7. It reminds me of Popular Science magazine, which became "Popular War" magazine after 911. A small sampling:

If I Could Turn Back Time

The Cosmic Revision

People who know me know I have a bit of a fixation with time travel. Time travel, muscle and big dicks. But we’ll stick with time travel today. Mostly. Even as a kid I read all the time travel fiction I could find and last winter I finally read 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court', by Mark Twain. Why time travel? Why is Back to the Future so important to me? Why did I hear The Power of Love piping through the muse ack as I walked into Trader Joe’s on 9/1/11?

Well, I dunno, so I decided to ask the Goddess:



If I Could Turn Back Time

Those are some pretty big guns (dicks) you’re dancing around, little girl. Cher’s “comeback” video was filmed aboard the battleship USS Missouri (rhymes with Misery). The USS Missouri played a huge part in WWII, being the vessel upon which the Japanese surrendered.


Oddly enough, I saw the Missouri every summer as a kid, because we drove by the Bremerton Naval shipyards on our way to the beach cabin, and there she was floating, in mothballs.

But even more than that, Missouri is a great river, much like the Nile, Jordan or Hudson. The Missouri is the longest river in North America, and drains into the Mississippi. If the Mighty Mississip is the North American Nile, then Missouri is the Upper Nile, or headwaters, while New Orleans lies in the delta, the capitol of Lower Egypt.

Horus is the God of Lower Egypt while Set is the God of Upper Egypt, the God of the desert. I’ve mused that these rivers and gods represent some kind of spiritual energy that flows through us, the Kundalini, Tree of Life, etc. The Source, or the “headwaters” is Upper Egypt, and like the Nile, I suspect the river runs south to north, or from base chakra on up. So the Source, or Set, is the primeval force of nature, creation, the urge, also the “headwaters”. Confusing? Well, yes, until we realize we have two heads. Here’s the "headwater". Naturally, he's a red head.


Naked Justice by Patrick Fillion

It seems pretty obvious to me that Set is Eros, and possibly Yahweh, the primeval force of creation. But he’s not very smart, and mostly just thinks with his dick. He’s kind of a dick head.

Dr. Dick by HvH

The Prophecy states that Horus (our higher selves, Lower Egypt) is the crowned and conquering child, the one who overcomes Set, wrestles with the Angel of God and earns the name Israel. (sorry for mixing religious archetypes, they are all blending into one). This is essentially what I was writing about in the Sync Book. Set can’t really be beaten, or beheaded. Like the Hydra, he grows back two heads to replace the one cut off. The traditional mythic road of the hero is to attack and conquer the enemy, from Hercules to St. George to GWB. But it’s not so simple anymore. Terror only grows stronger the more you attack it. Was Jesus talking about Set when he told us the greatest commandment?
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. -Mark 12:30
Well, again, I dunno. But Cher is the queen of turning back time (via the magic of plastic surgery) and now her daughter (Chastity/virgin) has become a hermaphrodite and is dancing with the stars.

Maybe the only way to beat Set is to surrender to him. Or at least, give him what he wants. We need to be a bit clever, Horus and I.
