She startled me at first, since I was looking up when I felt a soft, gentle rub against my ankles. She was a little gray tabby, and she really wanted to make friends… rubbing, purring, doing that cute thing cats do so well. A few days later I walked outside again to view the ISS, and she was there in about a minute. She has no collar or ID. Will she be there again, tonight?</div><div><br /></div><div>I don’t know why I subscribe to SpottheStation@mail.nasa.gov but I do.

Sirius, being the brightest star in the sky (up until ISS) is also associated with Isis, go figure. So we have a man-made “brightest-star” passover in the Dog Days, usurping the stars of the old gods.

It’s been a while. Last we met, I was blogging in March 2020 about the Corona of the King, Evergreen and the Green Man Osiris.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;"> </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9x7LaKH835c/YGPn89gG50I/AAAAAAAAJQA/vb75yxQZzLgx_ziWL0MFPCg4RVwyswCwQCPcBGAYYCw/s898/ExMirH4VoAMxTiz.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="898" data-original-width="898" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9x7LaKH835c/YGPn89gG50I/AAAAAAAAJQA/vb75yxQZzLgx_ziWL0MFPCg4RVwyswCwQCPcBGAYYCw/s320/ExMirH4VoAMxTiz.png" /></a></div><p></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Suez_Canal_obstruction">On March 23</a>, the Ever Given, a Golden-class container ship of the Evergreen Line, managed to drive herself into a sand bank of the Suez Canal, stopping up the flow of global commerce to the tune of $400 million per hour, which is akin to a banker heart attack. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mt-PMYbgHFA/YGPqDGJv7TI/AAAAAAAAJQQ/p_DIXk2xs5kZzZF269l1YM9PpDharSw8ACLcBGAsYHQ/s645/165411940_747404322633148_2429650116527432059_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="645" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mt-PMYbgHFA/YGPqDGJv7TI/AAAAAAAAJQQ/p_DIXk2xs5kZzZF269l1YM9PpDharSw8ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/165411940_747404322633148_2429650116527432059_n.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Just to remind you all, this was at the end of the Osiris/Green Man/St. Patrick Holy Week that kicked off on 3/17. Evergreen represents the Green Man - Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead and of life, and the true king of Egypt. The ship, compared often to the Empire State Building in size, resonates the twin towers of Manhattan, but most importantly, it is Egypt, the Nile, the pharaohs and all of that old time religion. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--YO05UvOul0/YGPn6svhW5I/AAAAAAAAJPc/7y5TMCg2qsEgFrtX4f86afIKLIyUZ-jugCPcBGAYYCw/s357/12791106_238381053168716_2134414797166318509_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="357" data-original-width="269" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--YO05UvOul0/YGPn6svhW5I/AAAAAAAAJPc/7y5TMCg2qsEgFrtX4f86afIKLIyUZ-jugCPcBGAYYCw/s320/12791106_238381053168716_2134414797166318509_n.jpg" /></a></div>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">There was a brief fake news story by <strike>internet trolls</strike> the CIA about the ship being captained by the lovely Marwa Elselehdar, the first female captain in the Egyptian Navy. The ever reliable Snopes says <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/suez-canal-captain/">that ain’t true</a>, but it serves the myth anyway, because she is the spitting image of Isis, the wife of Osiris. She is probably also a twin from an ancient bloodline.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The ship was allegedly blown off course by a desert wind storm. Set, the mortal enemy of Osiris, is the god of the desert, and of storms. However, note her GPS track:</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e54mVEviej8/YGPn6o1aTcI/AAAAAAAAJP4/fLhWEvGcJgYIBzk4NqA5I5GPnkIo2ZfSACPcBGAYYCw/s731/165520528_10224625733373357_148627615061608924_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="731" data-original-width="680" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e54mVEviej8/YGPn6o1aTcI/AAAAAAAAJP4/fLhWEvGcJgYIBzk4NqA5I5GPnkIo2ZfSACPcBGAYYCw/s320/165520528_10224625733373357_148627615061608924_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It is Isis who fashions a <a href="http://www.eoht.info/page/Phallus%20of%20Osiris">golden phallus</a> with which to impregnate herself with the seed of Osiris, and give birth to Horus, the falcon-headed son. </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sfVAyhKYQtM/YGPn6aEse1I/AAAAAAAAJPY/JOmTfxAMONQ9nQvphdcYr4Xd2Eu_H4YnQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/01f907a0ff4e1618ae01669154df6988.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="555" data-original-width="1200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sfVAyhKYQtM/YGPn6aEse1I/AAAAAAAAJPY/JOmTfxAMONQ9nQvphdcYr4Xd2Eu_H4YnQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/01f907a0ff4e1618ae01669154df6988.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In the early evening of March 26, the Pacific Northwest witnessed a strange meteor shower that was attributed to “space debris” from the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/watch-spacex-rocket-space-debris-hurtle-seattle-pacific-meteor-2021-3">Space X Falcon rocket</a>. </p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i>Via Nextdoor: “Huge meteor just now! Wow! Never seen anything like it. It went from one horizon to another and broke up into a jillion glittery glowing pieces!”</i></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Another name for Horus is “Horus on the horizon”. </p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">So we have the gigantic EVERGREEN Line phallus shaped ship, resonating Osiris and fertility, the Suez Canal resonating Isis, the Nile, the Kingdom of Egypt, and the Pharaohs. The ship is the "Golden class" representing the golden phallus Isis made to impregnate herself with Horus, and then debris from Falcon Horus shoots a huge wad of "space junk" over the skies of the Pacific Northwest.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OZq9gIbGfdU/YGPn7D6SRUI/AAAAAAAAJQE/cAfbHFZC9uMVVAFPKx5sp2KIfbUVUJTwwCPcBGAYYCw/s324/GW324H316.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="324" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OZq9gIbGfdU/YGPn7D6SRUI/AAAAAAAAJQE/cAfbHFZC9uMVVAFPKx5sp2KIfbUVUJTwwCPcBGAYYCw/s320/GW324H316.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;">The ship was finally pulled free of the canal bank by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/29/suez-canal-attempt-re-float-ever-given-delay-salvage-tugboats">14 tugboats</a>. Osiris was cut into 14 pieces by Set and cast into the Nile. Isis diligently recovered all the pieces but was unable to find the phallus, hence the need for the golden replacement.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-quhIn8R3Awc/YGPn7M78RiI/AAAAAAAAJP8/JY59P8WXdbgQ6P_ORC7_6s1Tg31a9qB4gCPcBGAYYCw/s1741/Egyptian_-_Isis_with_Horus_the_Child_-_Walters_54416_-_Three_Quarter_Right.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1741" data-original-width="1319" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-quhIn8R3Awc/YGPn7M78RiI/AAAAAAAAJP8/JY59P8WXdbgQ6P_ORC7_6s1Tg31a9qB4gCPcBGAYYCw/s320/Egyptian_-_Isis_with_Horus_the_Child_-_Walters_54416_-_Three_Quarter_Right.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This ritual drama all came about under the waxing and waning of the full moon on March 28 (The Ides of March), and Isis is considered a moon goddess. It was, in fact, the extra-high tide of this “super moon” that allowed the Ever Given to finally float free. It also occurred during Easter week, which is the Christian version of the Osiris myth of death and resurrection, as well as Passover.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IjJ5ClJ-P7g/YGPpWG9BnJI/AAAAAAAAJQI/UuOHdeoluWE5zJjx3hf2nzGNr6Q-31GPgCLcBGAsYHQ/s779/iu-37.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="501" data-original-width="779" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IjJ5ClJ-P7g/YGPpWG9BnJI/AAAAAAAAJQI/UuOHdeoluWE5zJjx3hf2nzGNr6Q-31GPgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/iu-37.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The first Coronavirus (Crown virus) death in the US occurred at Evergreen hospital, in King County, in the state of Washington, nicknamed The Evergreen State. What are we to make of this strange repeating of the Evergreen motif? Was the USA made out to be a symbolic Egypt? George Washington, the first president, Freemason and <a href="https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/religion/a-brave-and-generous-people/">founder of the original St. Patrick’s Day</a> on March 17, 1780 is a worthy stand-in for Osiris and the Pharaoh.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">What will be the fate of modern "Egypt"?</p><br />Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00531037998720855468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649134.post-88774202506953345082020-05-05T21:44:00.000-07:002020-05-05T21:47:14.301-07:00Cinco de Clara<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xdi1d3CG2dc" width="560"></iframe><br />

It is interesting that during my 2020 lockdown, I discover that my sync “bible”, the Back to the Future series, contains a reference to quarantine. In BTTF Part 3, Clara asks Doc Brown to fix her damaged telescope, and thus blossoms their love affair. The telescope as a symbol of sight, vision, insight and knowledge, as well as Clara’s name, which is latin for “bright and clear”.</div>

So maybe, the quarantine can give us a BTTF “telescope” as well, a vision of our future, both personal and collective. I know it has caused a great deal of introspection for myself as well as with my neighbors.</div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaus_Copernicus" target="_blank">Nicolaus Copernicus</a> was a Renaissance-era mathematician and astronomer, who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than Earth at the center of the universe. You know… like a crown.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Copernicus was: “a polyglot and polymath, he obtained a doctorate in canon law and was also a mathematician, astronomer, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist. In 1517 he derived a quantity theory of money—a key concept in economics—and in 1519 he formulated an economic principle that later came to be called Gresham's law.”</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham%27s_law" target="_blank">Gresham’s law </a>is basically all about currency devaluation of fiat law, and how “bad money drives out good”. Which is a weird sync considering how the US petro dollar took its huge swan dive during the week of the first US death from the coronavirus in Kirkland and the simultaneous contraction of oil futures. </div>

On a certain level I think the sun replacing the earth as the center of the universe is akin to the ego realizing that no, it is not the center of the universe. It’s a tough lesson for we who are made in the image of God to realize, but most of us manage it by the time we are two, or “the terrible twos” as I’ve heard it explained. The rest become sociopaths, revolutionaries, or artists.</div>

As of today, 5/5/20 the pathogen appears to be lifting. Or at least, the oppression. Businesses are beginning to re-open, somewhat flower-like in the spring. People are going back to work. I’ve gotten invitations to social gatherings (with distance). The danger of the virus is receding like a bad dream wave upon the shore. </div>

Prince Charles has <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11216131/prince-charles-positive-coronavirus/" target="_blank">tested positive</a> for COVID-19.<br />
<br />
<i>PRINCE Charles, 71, has tested positive for coronavirus, Clarence House announced today. The future king had been displaying mild symptoms but remains in "good health" after being diagnosed with the deadly bug on Monday night. - The Sun</i><br />
<br />
This takes me right back to 2004 when my third sync eye was opened by an amanita mushroom tea given to me by a Seattle shaman. The mushroom imparts the willingness to believe that mythical and symbolic archetypes are real, or at least… have real power in the collective subconscious.<br />
<br />
When it began, it implanted a feeling similar to “hair standing up on the back or your neck” when sync happened. Over time, that feeling subsided, but that was the basic test. <br />
<br />
To make a really long story short, after reading Dan Brown's 'The DaVinci Code' I figured that this was a blueprint for the revealing of the literal heir of Jesus Christ. I knew it was going to be Prince William. He who was born of Diana on the summer solstice by Caesarean section. And who was given the royal name of William Arthur Philip Louis: The Once and Future King. <br />
<br />
Over the many years since, I’ve let go of my early obsession and moved on. And yet, here we are with the coronavirus (King Kill) lined up on Prince Charles the heir apparent, during an unprecedented global economic shutdown and martial law. If Charles dies, then William is next in line. It’s weird how the hairs on the back of my neck are quivering again, and how it’s all coming back around.<br />

Notes:<br />
<br />
On March 11 Tom Hanks announced he and his wife Rita Wilson had contracted the virus. They were in Australia where Hanks was filming. Note that Prince Charles was also in Australia on March 12.<br />
<br />
Hanks and Wilson were released from the hospital on March 17. Tom Hanks starred in The DaVinci Code.<br />

Leap Day.<br />
<br />
The first death in the USA caused by COVID-19 (the coronavirus) occurred on Leap Day 2020 in King County, at Evergreen hospital in Kirkland. That’s a little too close to home for comfort. I grew up in Kirkland, and have spent many an hour at Evergreen, concerned over this friend or that family member.<br />
<br />
He was a 50 year old man who lived in a long term care facility. and now 52 people are showing symptoms. 52 playing cards in a deck, 50 states in the Union. Your time is up, Uncle Sam. Show your hand.<br />
<br />
Panic is growing in Seattle, Costco is being emptied.<br />

Today would have been March 1, beware the Ides of March. Will the coronavirus kill a king?<br />
<br />
I’ve had enough 19 syncs over the past few years to feel like I own it. I won’t bore you with them except that I always figured they pointed at 2019, and when that came and went, so did my interest. And yet here is COVID-19.<br />

<br />
The reason the solar, crown, king aspect is important is because they embody the central myth of our culture: the sun bringing life to the world, and the sun dying every year at Winter Solstice, only to be reborn again. The ritual performance is recast over and over, from Stonehenge to Osiris to Jesus to MLK.<br />
<br />
I am familiar with the Egyptian ritual, involving Osiris murdered by his brother Set. 3/17 is nominally St. Patrick's Day, but synchromystically is is the day set aside by the Freemasons to honor the death of Osiris.<br />
<br />

Green is worn on St. Patrick's Day to honor the Green Man, as Osiris was also called. Osiris was often depicted with green skin, to symbolize the sun's blessing of the new crops every year: Evergreen.<br />

Update: 3/1/20<br />
<br />
First coronavirus case in Manhattan. Perfectly timed for the Monday opening of the stock market. It occurs to me that tomorrow could be the worst day the stock market has ever seen. Even 1929. If so, that would be a famous date, sort of like 911 became famous after 9/11/01. <br />

Tomorrow will be 3/2/20. 322 Skull and Bones tell.<br />

Full moon. So the big stock market crash occurred today, losing 2013 points, or 7.9% of its “value”. It is curious that Big Oil took the biggest hit. Greta Thunberg would smile.

Notes:<br />
<br />
We drove to Sequim today to stock up on “supplies”. For a few minutes I thought I had lost my wallet at Discovery Bay Cannabis. That was situated at an old railroad train, turned tourist attraction. The caboose and now pot store was painted in Patriotic colors with 1776, Liberty, etc. adorning the sides. Don’t lose your wallet when the casino crashes.<br />
<br />
I stopped at Costco to inquire about new tires. The service clerk was really helpful and happened to sport a skull ring. I even commented on it.<br />
<br />
I grew up in Kirkland, or “church land” as I have heard it translated.<br />
<br />
I am not inclined to sync prediction since it never pans out the way you see it. Hopefully nothing will happen tomorrow, and if it does, I’m not answering the phone.<br />

Perhaps the most famous is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maltese_Falcon_(1941_film)" target="_blank">The Maltese Falcon</a>, starring Humphrey Bogart. Filmed in 1941 it curiously played a part in the end of WWII, because the nuke that leveled Hiroshima was named after a character in the film - a gay character it turns out - the ‘Little Boy’. And the second nuke to bomb Japan was nicknamed ‘Fat Man’, again, after a gay character from the film. Of course, the seedy male hustler aspect in the original novel by Dashiell Hammett was played down in Hollywood, back in the day.<br />

Malta lines up nicely with the Templars and the Holy Grail mythos, since the Knights of Malta were the last order to remain in business after the purge of 10/13. Grand Master Jean de Valette, “built a new fortified city on the Sciberras Peninsula to fortify the Order's position in Malta and bind the Knights to the island”. The city took his name and was called La Valletta. </div>

Hiram Abiff, "a widow's son" from Tyre, skillful in the working of all kinds of metals, was employed to help build King Solomon's Temple.<br />
The legend tells us that one day, whilst worshipping the Grand Architect of the Universe (GAOTU) within the Holy of Holies, Hiram was attacked by three ruffians, (called 'Jubela', 'Jubelo' & 'Jubelum' and known collectively as 'The Juwes') who demanded the "Master's word", that is, the secret name of God.<br />
The first ruffian, named Jubela, struck Hiram across the throat with a 24 inch gauge. The second ruffian, named Jubelo, struck Hiram's breast, over the heart, with a square. The third ruffian, named Jubelum, struck Hiram upon the forehead with a gavel, whereupon Hiram fell dead. His blood, therefore, was shed within the temple.</blockquote>

The Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes) protesting in France have captured my imagination. Wouldn’t it be great if a modern day proletariat revolt and revolution could successfully bring down the elite of Europe? Acts 1 through 19 so far, some violent, some not so much, but all done with that typical Gallic sense of style and theater. </div>

Which brings me to this pic making the rounds, which I have to say looks as staged as they come. Not that it IS staged, but it just looks like it. The jack boot of Macron fascism trampling the rainbow flag, Quelle horreur!</div>

Recall how TIME(Saturn) magazine crowned Trump King on June 18, 2018, in the week of the summer solstice. And how Louis XIV was called Le Roi Soleil - or the Sun King. Louis was of the House of Bourbon. It would be mildly interesting to watch Trump and whiskey, scotch and bourbon syncs but I digress.</div>

Var and I got our eyes examined today. I made the appointment months ago, today was the clinic’s first opening available. As we drove there it occurred to me that having our eyes examined on the darkest day of the year was sort of… interesting. We were checked in by women wearing various Seahawk fanware. I thought to myself “Is today a Seahawk game day?” but I dared not ask, because if I did my lack of schedule knowledge would damn me as an infidel. As it turns out, no, today was not a Seahawk football game day, but that doesn’t stop the Horus resonating eye clinic staff from wearing totems in adoration of their god.<br />

One of the appeals of combining sync with the study of mass media is the theory that the media (by intent or by accident or both) subtly inserts a predictive narrative along with all the “entertainment” & “news”. The fun is the attempt to crack the narrative hidden within, and voila! Predict the future!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The Trump enigma is darn nigh irresistible. Rather than dwell on all the chaff of electioneering, politics and scandal, we focus on the wheat of the narrative. What is the plot? Why is the repulsive star of The Apprentice suddenly the King of the World? Why is Biff Tannen now president?</div>

As LXXXVIII finis temporis points out, this presidency has been a long time coming. He has been “pre-crimed” back to 1958 and is now indelibly linked to 9/11. In fact, he can almost be said to “represent” 9/11. </div>

Trump became president in 2016. Among other things, he is famous for his Trump Towers. In the tarot, the tower trump is card 16. His election was literally seen in the cards. The tower trump represents destruction, evocative of the destruction of the twin towers on 9/11. 9/11 was a symbol just like the tower trump is a symbol, and just like Donald Trump, as POTUS, is a symbol.</div>

Of all the Hollywood predictive programming about Trump, Back to the Future is the one with which I am most familiar. <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/back-to-the-future-writer-biff-tannen-is-based-on-donald-trump" target="_blank">According to BTTF writer Bob Gale</a> The character of Biff Tannen was based upon Donald Trump. As we know from the films, Biff does not come to a good end, even though for a while he runs Biff’s Pleasure Paradise Casino as the Luckiest Man on Earth.</div>

Donald Trump/Biff Tannen has orange hair because he is representing the Sun King. You know… that cheerful round-faced fellow upon whom every solar religion is based. Marty McFly represents Pluto, or death. The sun always sets, death always gets the Sun King. It’s a tale told since the age of the Pharaohs. </div>

In other words, it’s a royal be-heading, and we’re invited to the ball. Sudden changes in a nation’s fortunes are often preceded by the murder of the monarch. Julius Caesar, Louis XVI, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Czar Nicholas II, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.</div>

Images of Apollo adorns his private, golden penthouse apartment. Like the French Soleil Roi, he lives a life of rare wealth and privilege, the Trump Tower being his private “Versailles”.

I got the idea thanks to reading The Widow’s Son by Robert Anton Wilson (Volume two of the Historical Illuminatus Chronicles), which is set in pre-revolutionary France. The Masonic protagonist Sigismundo Celine knows the secret “Baraka” name. He also learns that the Knights Templar “found the birth-certificate” of the widow’s son in the Temple of Solomon. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
It would appear that Barak Obama is the return of the fabled widow’s son, at least according to the RAW prophecy written in 1985. And who cut his early political chops questioning the legitimacy of Baraka’s birth certificate?</div>

The tower trump represents the destruction of a nation state, via an attack upon the “head” or tower: the king. 9/11 was the opening move, with the twin towers standing in for the USA and the “world trade center”. See that golden crown toppling from the tower in the tarot card? That’s the Donald. It’s sort of cartoonishly obvious now, in hindsight.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
If Trump is playing a modern Louis XVI, Sun King, then he must be assassinated in order to bring about the glorious revolution. The “headless” nation will need a new head installed PDQ. Never mind your precious Constitution, a new one has already been written for you. Probably several, hope you speak the language.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
And before you shout “Thank God!” remember what a revolution is all about. And remember that it wasn’t just Louis XVI that met his end, it was his entire noble class. So… who is Trump’s “class”. Not the rich, of course. The rich are celebrated in the USA, always have been. Men, maybe? Even in this age of identity politics, that seems a bit too broad. How about rich white men? Yes, I think we are close.</div>

CK blames the Perth Siren Song ritual, from St. Georges Terrace in Perth, or rather, he notices the sync. I of course, enjoyed the muscular Tongan flag bearer on a prurient level, the flag that just so happens to “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Tonga" target="_blank">represent Christianity</a>” according to wikipedia. It features a red cross on white, the flag of St. George.</div>

I’m not sure where this all began, but I’ll peg August 21, the day of the Great American Eclipse. That was the day I went to seek therapy about symptoms of depression. I was there at the clinic at the exact time of the eclipse, and I joined some of the staff out on the sidewalk to view the historic event. At least I could be assured that they had the medically approved eye protection, which they kindly shared. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I hadn’t really planned the visit for that exact date, because the first date offered was Sept. 11 and I felt that I didn’t want my reach-out for therapy to get all synced up with 9/11, so I chose the next one offered, not yet knowing the signs and portents of that day.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

My therapy “intake” interview was on Sept. 19. That’s when they get their first look at me, and I sign a bunch of release forms. As I was signing, the case worker volunteered: “Today is the 19th, which is also my dog’s birthday. I have no idea why I just said that.”</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I replied: “Well that’s odd, because today is also my dog Oliver’s birthday”. </div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I was a fraternity brother. I was attempting to get all the bro’s packed and ready, we were going on a road trip or something. I was half naked, with nothing on but trainers and an orange polo shirt. It didn’t feel unusual, I wasn’t embarrassed - apparently this was normal attire in this frat. I ran from floor to floor organizing the guys. I paused once at a hall mirror to look at myself critically, because I didn’t really like the shirt and was considering what to wear on the trip. I decided to keep the orange polo shirt after all, it looked good on me.</blockquote>

On the 27th I went to meet my new therapist. She was late, so I got to peruse a nice children’s picture book about life in the middle ages, at a baron’s castle. All the soldiers wear the coat of arms of the baron’s family. When I sat down to meet my therapist in her office, her first act was to offer me an orange.</div>

On Sept. 30 I read <a href="https://www.gayspiralstories.com/newStory/show/119944" target="_blank">Fraternity Rituals</a> - a homoerotic story set in the basement of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

237 is one of the strongest sync attraction numbers, thanks to Stanley Kubrick. His films have been sync analyzed to death, however most agree that Room 237 in The Shining refers to the moon (237,000 miles being the average distance of the moon from the earth), and in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the alien artifact known as the “monolith” is discovered on the dark side of the moon.</div>

The episode's title is derived from a traditional English poem, known as "Monday's Child". The reference is to a line in the poem: "Friday's child is full of woe".

The odd thing is that Friday’s child is loving and giving, not full of woe, as Star Trek would tell it. That is Wednesday’s child. Be that as it may, the sync is Julie Newmar, AKA Catwoman. I can’t tell you how many black cat syncs I’ve had lately, and she is certainly one of the most famous. </div>

Taking care of the neighbor’s dog this week. We were given the Missing Link.</div>

I enjoyed the Dogon, dog star, Sirius symbolism of it. The thing is, to a web designer a link is a gate or portal to another website. It’s instantaneous teleportation through time and space. The original name of a web link is an “anchor” tag, shortened to <a>. It’s the foundation of the web: the most important aspect. </div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Today I walked the dog by a lovely piece of garden art for sale. It featured an anchor in the very center of a glass pentacle. I wondered… if I pick it, will it transport me to Sirius?</div>

Been awhile since there has been a post here. Thought I'd change that today. Fool's day and all.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
I have this weird thing going on right now because I’ve realized that most of the movies that resonate for me are, in one way or another, a story about the discovery of an all-powerful entity or device that is variously called anti-matter, the tesseract, zero point energy, the god particle, the holy grail, or the fifth element. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
And I have long felt that this secret lies within. Not in mega collective projects, but within our very own skins and minds. We contain that god particle in our selves - no giant machine is necessary unless you believe that a giant machine is necessary - then it is.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Faith is important here. That’s why the Church is important, because it demands faith in something unseen. Technology and movies have replaced the church in the faith business, because their burnt offerings are more “believable”. But it doesn’t remove the centrality of a collective faith as the engine behind it all. If Jesus replaced Zeus, and was then replaced by Science, they are still all birds of a feather - in that they are attempts to explain the inexplicable with absolutes. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
“Thus sayeth the Science!”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
Science is a harsh god. It is devoid of empathy or pity to mortals. Or even miracles, unless you think on scales of millions of years. At least Zeus or Jesus was said to listen to prayers. But if your god is a machine then it can’t listen, can it? Oh but wait, now our machines can listen, so now god can listen too. We just need programmers.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
It’s rather pathetic. We invent the gods we can believe in. We used to believe in Gods and Titans, and then it was heroes and sacrificial saviors, and now “god” is just cosmic machinery that is programmed by beta-tested belief systems from Hollywood.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">
It makes me wonder. is the entire universe a faith-based proposition? Do we need to believe in it for it to exist? And what happens when our belief ends? </div>

Varen is in the habit of naming all our plants in the garden (like Adam). He named a huckleberry after my dad. It was a cutting he took from the grounds of my family beach cabin at Hood Canal - the place was covered with huckleberry bushes. The property was sold shortly after his death, and as we drove away for the last time, Varen impulsively demanded that I pull over, and he ran back to get the scion.<br />
<br />
He stuck it in a pot for a few years and then in the ground here in PT, and this spring it finally began to show a bit of new growth. New shoots are “scions” of the old, and I am the scion of my father. Even though Varen named the huckleberry bush “Vern”, it is really me.<br />
<br />
He was talking about the huckleberry tonight, and said: “Instead of Huckleberry Finn we have Huckleberry Vern”. <br />

<br />
“Finn”, is code for “runaway slave”. It’s from The Golden Bough, and it’s a trifle esoteric and I’ll just assume you already know more about it than I do if you’re reading my incredibly obscure blog, but the most recent popular example is the character Finn from Star Wars, The Force Awakens. James Joyce alludes to it in the title of Finnegans Wake, or “Finn Again”. A repeating archetype.<br />

<br />
Oddly enough, a promo email from Class Comics arrived today, promoting the new Mako Finn #2 homoerotic comic now available. Mako has a fin on his dick, and he’s named after a shark, because somewhat like Aquaman, he is the protector of life in the oceans, and he has telepathic communication with sharks.<br />
<br />
But the really odd sync is how I bought an old sailboat. A Ranger 20, and now there are apparently five Rangers in the very small town of Port Townsend, and I’ve been hearing about one with a shark’s mouth painted on the bow, and today I finally saw that boat, parked on the side of the road. The Shark Finn is circling… must be blood in the water. <br />

<br />
Last week I met some guy on a dog walk who casually mentioned the date of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_eruption_of_Mount_St._Helens" target="_blank">eruption of Mt. St. Helens</a> in conversation: May 18, 1980. A few days later I was driving down I-5 to Portland, on the way to look at a sailboat for sale in Oregon City. My companion was a used boat expert, I invited him along to take a look at the Craigslist find. He was living in Portland in 1980, and vividly recalled the eruption and how he and his family were turned back at the Toutle River as they were driving home, and had to stay overnight in a hotel, the Riverview Inn, I believe. <br />
<br />
The boat we went to check out was photographed in front of Mt. Hood, another dangerous volcanic cinder cone. This one is fairly infamous in popular fiction: Mt. Hood lodge played the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. <br />
<br />
After 4 hours of driving we arrived in Oregon City. And then a few miles due east to rolling countryside and the trailer home of the seller. He was an elderly gent who walked with a cane, who’s most remarkable physical feature was his flowing white beard. This began to make a bit of sense when he told us that we were surrounded by Christmas tree farms. The hillsides were covered with orderly rows of little Noble and Douglas Firs.<br />
<br />
The boat was sitting in a backyard of several acres, next to the pen full of llamas and alpacas. The owner mentioned how once llamas sold for $60,000 apiece, but now you can hardly give them away. <br />
<br />
He also talked about the helicopter harvesting of the Xmas trees. How every year the helicopters would hover overhead all day long, while “little Mexicans” would lasso the bundles of trees and the helicopters would pick them up and drop them into trucks, and then on to global destinations - this was a big business. “Little” as in little elves.<br />
<br />
The boat we came to inspect was a wreck. Hardly the “good condition” claimed on Craigslist. It was built in 1980, same year as the eruption. The gelcoat was a faded golden yellow, and it’s name was “Stardust”. A good name for Santa’s sleigh. <br />
<br />
It was as if there was a terrible curse on the place. Santa’s castle was reduced to a double wide, his sleigh had been transformed into a derelict sailboat, his reindeer into llamas and his elves into migrant workers. <br />
<br />
Today, I’m finishing <i>The Book of the Dead</i>, by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, and the climax is set on the slopes of the volcano of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromboli" target="_blank">Stromboli</a> off the coast of Sicily. The monks called it the Doorway to Hell, in a rather literal translation of Sheol. <br />
<br />
How Dianetics. And Lord of the Rings. And Star Wars.<br />

I ran across this odd 144 sailing sync back on 11/28/15 and I must have been in a highly suggestible mood because it’s stuck with me. <br />

Tanzer: German for dancer. Dancer is the answer!<br />
<br />
I’ve never been much of a dancer, though I eventually learned how to NOT dance like a straight guy (feet planted like a tree, arm and shoulder motions only) at the gay disco. I’ve tried two-stepping and line dancing at gay western dance bars, but lets just say I won’t be dancing with the stars anytime soon.<br />
<br />
I got my hair cut today by Sean at 12:15. He was unusually animated and chatty about this and that. He began by talking about a friend he used to cut hair with, and how she would stand with arms extended and toes pointed out, like a ballet dancer (Sean demonstrates).<br />
<br />
Next he goes on about his Friday evening with his girlfriend/roommate (?) who insisted he accompany her out to the Roadhouse for some dancing. However it turned out she didn’t do any dancing, but he did, and he had a good time. He left at closing but she remained and she later turned her ankle or something, but according to Sean, it wasn’t from dancing!<br />
<br />
Next, Sean and I were reminiscing about gay Seattle in the 80’s, and he told me that he was once a go-go boy at Neighbors. “Speaker dancing?” I asked. He nodded.<br />
<br />
As Sean was finishing up, a woman called out to Sean from the hall and said “We sold our sailboat!” and I had to ask, what kind of sailboat was it?<br />
<br />
“A Tanzer 23”.<br />
<br />
… Connecting some dots …<br />
<br />
I am reminded that Shiva dances the world into being.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Nataraja (Tamil: "நடராசர்" or Kooththan கூத்தன், The Lord (or King) of Dance), is a depiction of the Hindu God Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for the god Brahma to start the process of creation.</blockquote>
<br />
What about a dancing speaker?<br />

<br />
2015 was the year of the race card. From the Ferguson riots to the Charleston shooting, from illegal aliens in the USA to the refugee invasion of Europe, from the rise of Donald Trump to the Oregon Standoff. Race, race race.<br />
<br />
So it was a curious sync to find this speech transcript by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler (Mr. Racial Purity himself) and this wild ecstatic religious text called the Apocryphon of John, or the secret gospel of John, which mentions “race” seven times, both on the same day. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SpMSxSHsKNM/Vph4KdID_SI/AAAAAAAAI-U/eFie33k5x9E/s1600/Heinrich-Himmler.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SpMSxSHsKNM/Vph4KdID_SI/AAAAAAAAI-U/eFie33k5x9E/s400/Heinrich-Himmler.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Heinrich may have been the archetypal “Bad Nazi”, but he wasn’t stupid. He caught on that Christianity was some kind of secret homo sex cult long before the revelations of the past few decades. We can blame Constantine for turning a cult that was never meant for mass consumption into the official state religion, perhaps the biggest “oops” of the last 2000 years.<br />
<br />
The Germans were obsessed with survival of their race, and Heinrich considered both Christianity and homosexuality direct threats to his beloved gene pool. Meanwhile, early Gnostic revelations talk about the “immovable race”, which is… drum roll please… homosexuals!!<br />
<br />
I mean, which “race” is always present, in every race? Which race has been demonized, scandalized, euthanized and genocided, and STILL keeps coming back to life? Homosexuals are the zombies of the genetic pool, you can’t kill us. We are “immovable”, despite lacking both will and nerve.<br />
<br />
Why this is so is a question probably best answered by communing with mushrooms, and I’m not saying it was aliens, but…<br />

The original Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 under contract from the National Socialists to create a “people’s car”, and is generally considered “Hitler’s car”. Be that as it may, the VW brand went on to become one of the most beloved automotive icons of the 20th century, that is, until the company was allegedly caught cheating on EPA air pollution standards via clever software. The fines, lawsuits and negative publicity of the <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34324772" target="_blank">scandal</a> will cost the company billions.<br />
<br />
<i>Note: In 1902 Ferdinand Porsche was drafted into military service. He served as a chauffeur to Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the crown prince of Austria whose assassination sparked WWI a decade later.</i><br />

10/23/15 the NYT polled its readers on whether they would go back in time and <a href="https://twitter.com/NYTmag/status/657618681204244480?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet" target="_blank">kill Hitler as a baby</a>. This, apparently, was the kind of thing that came to mind at the Times when it wanted to capitalize on the recent Back to the Future 2015 publicity. The birth of #babyJesus is celebrated on 12/25, the date Doc Brown pointed out when he was showing Marty how the time machine worked, along with 7/4/1776 and 11/5/55 - a “red letter day” in the history of science.<br />

Christmas Moon Hitler</h3>
On 11/6/15, Stuart Heritage of the Guardian saw Hitler on the moon in the 2015 John Lewis Christmas ad: <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/tvandradioblog/2015/nov/06/john-lewis-christmas-advert-who-is-moon-hitler" target="_blank">John Lewis Christmas advert: who is Moon Hitler?</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Why has the old man been sent into space? Is he a war criminal?</blockquote>
<br />
The little girl and her telescope resonate Jodie Foster’s character Ellie Arroway in the film <i>Contact</i>. Even including the girl shooting an arrow at the moon. In <i>Contact</i>, Hitler is the first image sent to earth by the aliens. In the black comedy sci-fi film <i>Iron Sky</i>, the Nazis do indeed hide on the dark side of the moon.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Borat-style film, based on the bestselling novel by Timur Vermes, puts Adolf Hitler back into German society and utilises the reactions of real people for humour.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Germans should be able to laugh at Hitler, rather than viewing him as a monster, because that relieves him of responsibility for his deeds and diverts attention from his guilt for the Holocaust,” director David Wnendt told the Guardian. “But it should be the type of laugh that catches in your throat and you’re almost ashamed when you realise what you’re doing.”</blockquote>
<br />
Guilt, shame, Holocaust. The broken record.<br />
<br />
Jesus and Hitler are the two greatest scapegoats of the Western world. It feels like it’s time for that goat to rise again. The John Lewis video finishes with: “Show someone they’re loved this Christmas”.

<br />
According to the Back to the Future film trilogy and sync tarot, Marty McFly arrives in “the future” on October 21, 2015, or in other words, yesterday. It’s a date prophesied for 30 years and much looked forward to by synchromystics the world over, and so quite naturally it was also the date that <a href="https://0knight.wordpress.com/2015/10/22/sync-hits-the-headlines-the-day-back-is-to-the-future/" target="_blank">sync hit the headlines</a>, thanks to a wonderful sync video of Joe Alexander that links the plot of BTTF to 9/11.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P1ULjJ3EqyY" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
I’ve long considered BTTF a sync gold mine, even before it was cool, with plenty of odd personal coincidences with the movies and the characters that I won’t bore you with now, except the most recent one, which was a road trip down to Phoenix, Arizona last week. Our route took us through Hood River, Oregon, the shadow of the Overlook Hotel brooding over us from atop Mt. Hood in the distance. We passed through Twin Falls, Idaho, and then on down to Zion National Park, the home of the Latter Day Saints. Our last day on the road found us driving through Flagstaff, Arizona, a node on the devil’s own Route 66. <br />
<br />
We arrived on Saturday, Oct. 10, the day after the Northern Arizona University shooting. Traffic was nuts. Varen was looking up the Flagstaff wikipedia entry on his phone when we discovered that Flagstaff was built around the Lowell Observatory, which discovered the dwarf planet Pluto in 1919.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LjriZhDoyNQ" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
The curious BTTF sync is that Joe made a fantastic video outlining Marty representing the Greek God Pluto and this has really resonated for me. Pluto is Hades, the God of the underworld, and the dead. He is akin to Osiris, the God of the Dead in the Egyptian pantheon. Over time he became associated with the Christian devil, being the gatekeeper of Hell, or Sheol, the Jewish version of Hades.<br />
<br />
The idea of casting Pluto as the hero of a time travel epic is suitably counter-intuitive to draw my interest. In the Greek myth, the brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades combine to defeat their father Cronus, or the God of Time. One way to “defeat” time is to know the future, or to prophecy. This is exactly what Joe sees in the BTTF trilogy, a prophecy of 9/11.<br />
<br />
So anyway, we took the tour at the Lowell Observatory and heard all about the discovery of Pluto, and I began thinking that this was a symbol for the discovery of Plutonium, the magical ore of Pluto. The curious thing is that Pluto is also known as the “the wealthy one” and is the source of the word “plutocrat”. The discovery of the treasury of the dead. That’s heavy.<br />
<br />
I wonder what the “treasury of the dead” might mean? Perhaps DNA encoding - a library of wealth. Doc Brown’s theft of Plutonium occurred on Oct. 11, which is also my birthday. Birth, death, theft - presents!<br />
<br />
My souvenir was the black mug. It might represent the container of plutonium, or in a later version, Mr. Fusion. Or perhaps it is the Holy Grail.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
The other odd aspect to the trip was of course, the Phoenix resonator, the fabled bird that dies on a flaming pyre and is born again. Just before we left for Phoenix, the schooner Phoenix arrived and anchored offshore. While we were on the road to Phoenix, the schooner was caught in a sudden wind storm, dragged anchor and was sunk on the breakwater, holed by the rocks in its side. This past Sunday, the schooner was recovered and raised to solid ground by the Travel-Lift. Born again from the underworld or not, the timing of the local maritime drama was fascinating.<br />
<br />
I think something is shifting, something big. Pluto is giving up his treasure, and the Phoenix is born anew. What better timing than October 21, 2015? The day that time stood still for synchronicity.<br />

<br />
The other sync attractor in my personal universe is “Morning Star”. Because my bankruptcy was handled by a last minute substitute lawyer named Tom Morningstar. This all taking place at the Gateway Center in Bremerton. The bullet list:<br />
<ul>
<li>The economic concept of bankruptcy originated at the Ponte Veccio: when a money-changer could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the "banco") was physically broken ("rotto") by soldiers, and this practice was called "bancorotto" (broken table).</li>
<li>On Aug 4, 1944, the Germans did not destroy the Ponte Veccio on their retreat from Italy, allegedly by express order from Hitler.</li>
<li>Sync logic suggests that “Hitler” will return over the same bridge he retreated on, the one bridge left standing.</li>
<li>Bankruptcy is the event.</li>
<li>The Morning Star is the sign.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
On 9/9 I was at Kitsap Bank when the teller told me that the Hood Canal Bridge was “<a href="http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/article/20150909/NEWS/150909971/0/SEARCH" target="_blank">broken</a>” and no vehicle traffic could cross. This is a big deal to Port Townsend, so economically dependent on that bridge. A curious broken bridge and bank sync.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This was also interesting because I was reading Captain America Operation Rebirth and the chapter I read the night before featured a heli-carrier that nearly crashes into Mt. Hood.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The Timberline Lodge at Oregon’s Mt. Hood being the exterior location of Stanley Kubrick’s Overlook Hotel in The Shining. The Overlook being a symbolic stand-in for the United States - much like Captain America.<br />
<br />
I finish my business at the bank and then ride into town to check out the harbor at Point Hudson, and any new boats that have arrived. Yes indeed, a new boat named the MORNING STAR had just tied to the dock. And curiouser still, the Israeli Defense Force was on duty. <br />

Next morning I was on Sailing Anarchy getting the latest sailing news and the <a href="http://sailinganarchy.com/2015/08/17/woulda-shoulda/" target="_blank">top story</a> was about the New Zealand yacht CRUSADER in the Transpac. <br />
<br />
However, the next story down, <a href="http://sailinganarchy.com/2015/08/17/lost-and-found-3/" target="_blank">Lost and Found</a>, gave me chills:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In 2005, I participated in the Transpac on the TP52 <b>Braveheart</b>. About 250 mile from Honolulu, during a night time gybe, fellow crew member <b>Brian</b> Huse lost the jockey pole overboard. I was next to him by the mast when it happened. This summer, I took a camping trip with a friend exploring and beach combing the west coast of Vancouver Isl.<br />
While on Lanz Isl (part of the <b>Scott Island</b> group off the NW tip of Vancouver Island), I spotted something among the logs and driftwood. The Southern Spars logo was unmistakable! A bit of prying and digging and I was able to pull out a carbon fibre pole. “Funny”, I thought, <b>“Brian lost one like this years ago”</b><br />
When I returned, I told Brian the story. He contacted Paul Snape at Southern Spars in New Zealand and was able to find the original CAD drawing for Braveheart’s Jockey Pole. It is an exact match. 2500 miles and 10 years later found by crew of the same boat! – Anarchist <b>hamish</b>.</blockquote>
<br />
This story is chock full of Scottish syncs:<br />
<br />
“Braveheart” - the 1995 epic historical medieval war drama film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. Gibson portrays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England.<br />
<br />
Lanz Island, part of the Scott Island group off the NW tip of Vancouver Island<br />
<br />
Hamish: a masculine given name in English. It is the Anglicised form of the vocative case of the Scottish Gaelic Seumas: Sheumais. The Scottish Gaelic Seumas is the equivalent to the English James. In English the meaning of the name Hamish is supplant, replace.<br />
<br />
Great Scott!<br />

<br />
But the fascinating thing is that this discovery of a lost carbon fiber pole (the “Grail” or perhaps the lost phallus of Osiris) follows the Grail pattern outlined by Wayne Herschel at The Hidden Records, of a larger island pointing to a smaller island.

Update:<br />
<br />
Last night we had some kin over for dinner. First off, my cousin mentions Monty Python & the Holy Grail, and then The Life of Brian. Brian, we note, is the hapless Jesus character in the Monty Python mythos. Brian/Jesus lost the "jockey pole", but Hamish/Knights Templar found it.<br />

Dream: I was near the water or perhaps on a boat and could dimly see a huge submarine below - a gigantic shadow moving beneath us. If I closed one eye or the other, I could suddenly see the submarine very clearly, even all the details, but only with one eye closed. It had some blue masking tape stuck to it in places. Don’t remember much else - there was some kind of military operation going on, with subs, a cruise missile and even a trimaran heading out. Red October was vaguely mentioned. I think they were heading east.</blockquote>
<br />
The submarine and the trimaran are obvious “subconscious” symbols for me, I’ve blogged about them for years - see Nemo, Neptune, trident, etc. <br />
<br />
Lately I’ve been tracking personal “one eyed” syncs, and I say personal vs. mass media because the one-eyed pop star has become such a cliche of Illuminati, MK Ultra conspiracy theory that I hate to even mention it.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, the idea that my experience of reality is a mirror between the conscious and subconscious aspects of my mind has a lot of pull for me, where the concepts of Narcissus, reversed text, palindromes and backwards masking meet at the Looking Glass. So when my subconscious tells me to look at myself with one eye, I listen.<br />
<br />
When I was a kid I saw a TV sci-fi movie about a voyage to an identical earth that was in orbit around the sun, 180° from our current position. In other words, the planet was invisible to us, because the sun always stood directly in between. The only way you could tell which earth was which was by the writing - all the signs on anti-earth were written backwards, in all other aspects they were identical. I've tried to find it again but so far no luck. It may have been British.<br />
<br />
Yin and Yang, Christ and Antichrist, matter and dark matter. A fundamental principle of our universe is duality, nicely represented by the mirror. Many people yearn for an end to the illusions of duality, that we might all be “one”. I’m not so sure. Every sailor knows that his boat only goes when he learns to artfully pit wind against wave, or air against water. The forces in opposition and in balance create effortless forward motion, out of balance is a disaster for ship and crew.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.<br />
- Newton’s Third Law of Motion</blockquote>
<br />
Perhaps we currently have way too much of One, and not enough of the Other. The forces of Yin and Yang are out of balance. Who will bring balance to the Force? <br />

As a curious aside, the online homoerotic writer’s forum “Narcissus Cursed Men Collection” closed this week.

<br />
A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_(yacht)#Modern_replicas" target="_blank">replica of the schooner AMERICA</a>, the yacht that trounced England in the 1851 Hundred Guinea Cup (and later renamed the America’s Cup, in the yacht’s honor), was here in Port Townsend this weekend. It was a poignant event for me, considering my long-standing sync of the “Auld Mug” with the Holy Grail. <br />
<br />
The black yacht is a rakish 101’ from bow to stern, 90’ on the waterline, and cuts a dashing figure under sail, even today. It flew a gigantic American flag from the main mast - wrapping itself in the flag, so to speak - but well earned, in this case.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I pondered the meaning of “replica” or “replicant”. It reminds me of reincarnation, or the idea that a vessel of wood (or clay or 3D material reality) can “embody” the spirit (fire) of another vessel. This yacht, made of coarse material, is the avatar of the original AMERICA, in the same way the Hindus believe that their eternal Gods are incarnated into vessels of flesh. I felt like I was walking upon a holy relic.<br />

<br />
<br />
The interior was filled with half-hull models of previous cup defenders - the saints buried in the catacombs. The air was thick with memory.<br />
<br />
When I left I noted a guy on a bike wearing a Captain America t-shirt on the dock. The Captain of the AMERICA?<br />

<br />
<br />
Later in the day, I attended a birthday party at the Pourhouse. We watched the AMERICA sail by, full of well paying guests, we watched from the cheap seats. It is curious that in 2013, the three of us (I, the birthday girl and her husband) watched the final race of the 2013 America’s Cup in this very same pub, and that's the ONLY time we were both present there.<br />
<br />
The Pourhouse is a fabulous pun made even better by the Grail sync, since the Grail is above all else a “cup” or “vessel” of divine essence, and the fabled re-discoverers and hoarders of the Holy Grail were the Knights Templar, AKA the "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon".<br />
