Green Man Up

Last year for St. Paddy's day, I posted The Naked Justice of St. Patrick, which outlined the ancient phallic "creator god" tradition of St. Patrick's Day, via a cool homoerotic comic called Naked Justice by Class Comics. Thanks to Christopher Knowles' The Secret History of St. Patrick's Day, we know:

• In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was killed on the 17th day of Athyr, the third month of the ancient calendar.
• 3/17 is also the date of a Masonically-created holiday, St. Patrick’s Day. The story has it that the holiday was established by high level Freemason, George Washington, allegedly to reward Irish soldiers in the Continental Army. But “St. Paddy’s” has traditionally been a very minor Saint’s day in Ireland. Considering that the day has become America’s defacto Bacchanal (which takes us back to Osiris) it’s worth noting some of the parallels of this day with Solar mythology.

In the Egyptian myth, Osiris is murdered by Set, dismembered and thrown into the Nile. Osiris' wife, Isis, collects the pieces and finds all but the phallus, and so makes a substitute out of gold. With this, she bears a son named Horus, who grows up to avenge the death of his father and unite upper and lower Egypt.

Imagining the USA playing the part of Egypt, split into two parts (red states and blue states) Isis (Lady Liberty) standing in the Nile (the Hudson) seeking her husband, it's not so difficult to see the parallels. Alan Abbadessa-Green at Look at All the Happy Creatures has done some amazing work outlining Manhattan as the missing phallus of gold, and the 911 mega-ritual as being the event that cracked the egg of Horus consciousness into the world - Why so Sirius? Pt 2: The Rise of Horus

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. ~Mark 13:8

Captain America (the first Avenger) was "born again" last summer, and shortly afterwards came the Occupy Wall St. movement, using V for Vendetta as a symbol for justice. Since George Washington, St. Patrick's Day and the Egyptian mysteries are so closely intertwined, I began tracking news items concerning truth and justice, Washington, and the upcoming Osiris Day.

• March 16: Washington man sentenced to life in NW killings A Washington man has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to two murders in a deadly crime spree through Washington, Oregon and California.
• March 16: US Suspect in Afghan Shootings Identified After five days cloaked in military secrecy, the US soldier suspected in a massacre of 16 Afghan civilians has been identified as a Washington state father of two who underwent anger management counseling a decade ago after an arrest for assault...
• March 16: Jury Finds Spying in Rutgers Dorm Was a Hate Crime A former Rutgers University student was convicted on Friday on all 15 charges he had faced for using a webcam to spy on his roommate having sex with another man. His roommate, Tyler Clementi, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge three days after the webcam viewing, three weeks into their freshman year in September 2010.
• March 16: Gay leaders from Israel snubbed by Seattle's gay commission The Seattle LGBT Commission canceled a Friday reception for a delegation of gay Israeli leaders. The six-member Israeli delegation had scheduled on the West Coast — with stops in San Francisco and Los Angeles — to exchange ideas on advancing gay rights. Only in Washington state, however, did the team encounter pushback from fellow gays./li>
• March 17: Hunt Zeros in on the Mystery of an Old Site Called Hades Now a coveted residential ZIP code, the area in Northwest Washington was briefly a center of WW1 chemical warfare research, a frantic response to Germany’s weapons. Some historians liken it to the Manhattan Project.

World War I began in 1917, and Osiris was the God of Resurrection, The Underworld and The Judge of Dead.

Take the Money and Run

This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

Thanks to Driftglass, I was musing (once again) about George and what has become the Fourth Reich. On Becoming One With the Darkness. It's brilliant, go read it. It reminded me how much I truly hated GWB and his wars, his profiteering, his "bring it on" bluster. How, thanks to the modern "Pearl Harbor" of 911, the corporate right got everything they could have ever wanted, and we're now living in the ruins of it. It could have been so different... segue into Al Gore watching his own version of It's a Wonderful Life and all that would have happened if he had not become president. We're there, living in Pottersville (Bushville) every day.

Much was written back in the day about the similarities between Bush and Hitler. Both claimed "Gott Mit Uns". Both declared a "Fatherland" or "Homeland". Both began wars based upon lies and paranoia. Both found a racial and religious stereotype on which to focus collective fear and hatred. Both employed financial shenanigans to create an illusionary bubble of economic well-being to fund the war machine.

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run

The only thing really different between Hitler and Bush is that Bush did not have the good sense to die in his bunker and bring closure to a really nasty decade. There was no great trial, no war crimes tribunal. It just continues on. There has been no judgement, no justice. The bumper sticker says "If you want peace, work for justice". I don't know what it will take, a "French Revolution", or what. But it has to be that way. Justice is coming. That's just the way the story works itself out.

Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

The Elf King

A few days ago I read a brilliant homoerotic story about an engineer who created nanobots - powerful, microscopic, intelligent, life forms, and infected the world with them. Made the whole world gay, of course.

On a friday night in an industrial loft in Brooklyn, the engineer finally completed his work. Ten years of working in secret, ten years of a boring desk job at a medical engineering firm to support it, pouring all of his available funds into his own equipment... and it all boiled down to a tiny drop of liquid in a tiny glass vial, filled with nanomachines too small to see.

Much like the Borg and their nanoprobes:

Nanoprobes are microscopic machines that inhabit a Borg's body, bloodstream, and many cybernetic implants. The probes perform the function of maintaining the Borg cybernetic systems, as well as repairing damage to the organic parts of a Borg. They generate new technology inside a Borg when needed as well as protecting them from many forms of disease and virus. Borg nanoprobes, each about the size of a human red blood cell, travel through the victim's bloodstream and latch on to individual cells. The nanoprobes rewrite the cellular DNA, altering the victim's biochemistry, and eventually form larger, more complicated structures and networks within the body...

Ego meets Id

It's got me thinking. What if these "nanobots" really exist and are ALREADY swimming in our bloodstream? And I don't mean some secret CIA 'black op' they developed in a lab, but something that exists within us, and always has. What if the human race was 'assimilated' a very long time ago? Perhaps we individuals are not nearly as individual as we assume. A hive mind, a collective consciousness, could be living right beneath our skins. The mass of a typical body cell is about one gram times ten to the negative nine, or one nanogram. Nanobots!

Judge me by my size, do you?

These "little people" might pop up now and again in our cultural myths, and perhaps we need look no further than stories of elves, angels, fairies and leprechauns - the assorted magical inhabitants of our subconscious. Abducted by fairies or abducted by aliens, the little people are always lurking about. As I'm musing about this, I see that the latest from Studio Ghibli is The Secret World of Arrietty - an adaptation of The Borrowers - little people who live under the floor - just beneath the surface.

Seeking some kind of affirmation that 'elves' and 'nanobots' are two sides of the same coin, I recalled that Terrence McKenna met "self-tranforming machine elves" during his DMT trips:

We especially refer to the apparently autonomous and intelligent, chaotically mercurial and mischievous machine elves encountered in the trance state, strange teachers whose marvelous singing makes intricate toys out of the air and out of their own continually transforming body geometries.

Elves and fairy folk are generally small, powerful and secretive. They exist in the margins of our consciousness, making themselves known when our egos are compromised - through dreams, entheogens, and other means.

As if all that weren't all enough, the high priest of modern sci-fi religion, Philip K. Dick, wrote a short story called 'The King of the Elves' in the 1953 edition of 'Beyond Fantasy Fiction'.

Thinking of my body as a collection of trillions of sentient beings has been a trip. I've actually started talking to "them", which are really "me". I'm a collective! I guess that makes me "Speaker of the House" or something.

If I think of my body as a sort of "dwelling" of the elvish bots, this leads me to the concept of Dobby, or "BODDY" the "house elf" in the Harry Potterverse. All wizards have a house elf, and it is actually they that do most of the real magic, sort of behind the scenes. House elves live to serve, and are rather shamed by ideas of unionizing as promoted by Hermione.

Man, I wonder if my own house elves are approaching a state of rebellion? Am I like the ego-centric factory owner who has no regard for his workers? Worse than that, I didn't even know I HAD workers?!! My little worker cells are the 99%! And my ego is just about as fucked up as the bankers on Wall St. who call themselves the Lords of Finance and the Masters of the Universe.

Terrence described his meeting with the machine elves as a sort of transaction - a bit of trade. They got the I Ching from him, and he got Timewave Zero from them. I'd call it a negotiation between workers and management. Look at Dobby - hasn't exactly been eating well, has he? What do I have that the Borg Elves might want?

I just think it's weird how we're called fairies and that the rainbow is our symbol - as in the bridge to the pot-o-gold.

Project X

Well... here we are, the spring of apocalypse is upon on us. To the Romans, March was the first day of spring, and an excellent day to begin some siege or conquest or something. Mars is "On the March". Hoo-rah!

I found this peace t-shirt at Sir Plus recently. Can peace go to war? Something about the Duality of Mankind.

Today, 2/2 we have the release of Project X - the world's greatest party gone bad. Note the protagonist is holding the grail, and the dog "star" is hovering above. As a side note, Terrence McKenna felt that the collective consciousness was simply seeking a good experience. Jeff Fairhall thought so, too. "Let's get this party started" has become a bit of a personal mantra.

Oddly, I was actually involved in a "secret" product development initiative that was code named "Project X", back in the 80's.

Also, The Avengers trailer is released. Terrified people, running in the streets, etc.

Tomorrow, 2/3 is the release of Chronicle, about a trio of young men who are suddenly "gifted" with telekinetic powers. More terrified people, running in the streets. Like The 4400, it's set in Seattle. I don't know why they think that the next evolutionary leap of human consciousness will manifest from the Pacific Northwest, but I figure they know something I don't. Maybe there's some ancient alien codex that points to this region as being the birthplace, or something.

So with all that in mind, I thought I'd do a quick "Avenger Code" for those in the PNW who are suddenly gifted with strange powers.

1. Hide them.
2. Don't go to the local news or the Department of Homeland Security and tell them that you have the ability to move objects by the power of your mind. They will perceive this as a threat.
3. No flying in daylight.
4. Do not rip-off convenience stores for cash. Think big!

That is all, for now.

The Greatest Love of All

"Houston, we have a problem..."

Everything about the tragic death of Whitney Houston has already been written, consider this a gay addendum.

The exact truth behind Whitney's relationship with Robyn Crawford still seems to be radioactive, with the press only covering claims made by British gay militant Peter Tatchell (reduced to recycling made-up quotes attributed to Jaz Coleman back in the 80s before Whitney died) that Whitney's sham marriage to Bobby Brown was the beginning of her long, ugly downfall. For her part, Crawford wrote a heart-rending open letter that detailed her history with Whitney without addressing the exact nature of their relationship. ~The Secret Sun

E tu, Whitney? We might consider Bobby to represent the brutal fist of a cultural zeitgeist - the moral dogma that collects the bones of talented spirits like trophy wives. It was BOB that killed Laura Palmer.

Whitney Houston entered the underworld on 2/11, three days before Valentine's Day, which is the national celebration of the "greatest love of all". Hallmark, and before that, the Catholic Church, turned the God of Eros, the root and offspring of Jesse, the fire of the kundalini,  into a harmless cherub. Talk about infantilizing, or castrating. Oh yeah, they did that. As I like to say... the Hierophant is the enemy of Eros. The Church hates anything that might conceivably result in an actual experience of unity with the divine because well... obviously then we don't need the middle man. Peter is out of a job, the keys are given away.

FATIMA, Portugal — Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday called abortion and same-sex marriage some of the most "insidious and dangerous" threats facing the world today, asserting key church teachings as he tried to move beyond the clerical abuse scandal. ~Pope Benedict XVI: Gay Marriage Is 'Insidious And Dangerous'

Moving beyond the pot calling the kettle black, do we sense an underlying panic? Ever since the Best In Show Sirius Radio dream, I've paid even more attention to the dog gods, so it was particularly interesting that the Westminster Kennel Club finals were held on Feb. 14 - Valentines Day. So who was Eros' best in show? A little power puff Pekingese named Malachy.

The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, is a list of 112 short phrases in Latin. They purport to describe each of the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few anti-popes), beginning with Pope Celestine II (elected in 1143) and concluding with the successor of current pope Benedict XVI, a pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", whose pontificate will end in the destruction of the city of Rome. ~wikipedia

Sigh. Not a Doberman named Malachy or a Great Dane named Malachy, but an insipid little tribble named Malachy. The Pope must be chuckling at that, but the Lord works in mysterious ways. The trouble with tribbles is that they (we) are born pregnant. Birth control be damned.

I think that when the Hierophant is finally taken down, there will be some of us wearing Whitney Houston badges, a testament to the greatest love of all.

A Visible Sign

Heritage Hall, the former Christian Science Church, was built in 1922. It now houses the Heritage Hall Resource Center, which is operated by the Kirkland Heritage Society. Overlooking Heritage Park and Lake Washington, this classic Greek revival architectural style building is fully restored to its original 1920’s design.

Oliver the terrier and I walk around this building about once a month, more in the summer. With it's lovely outdoor veranda and gardens, it's popular for weddings. As seen from space, we can see that the grounds of Heritage Hall are laid out with geometric precision. This geometry is a sign that Freemasons were involved in the planning. Let's lay it out, shall we?

This Masonic square and compasses is an emblem of the fraternity. In fact, the Square and Compasses is trademark protected by the fraternity.

For centuries, the square and compasses have represented the fraternity of Freemasonry. It is an emblem because its only meaning is that it represents the fraternity.

When you view it, you would not confuse it with representing any other entity other than Freemasonry. It represents an abstract idea, (that of a group of people who conform to specific beliefs.)

When you see the image of the 2 symbols (the Masonic square and compasses) in this configuration, together, they emblemize the fraternity. They are a visible "sign" of the fraternity. ~Masonic Lodge of Education
