Fundamentalist Christians and its Wrong Approach to Spiritual Teachings (09):

Flat Earth; Enclosed Creationism; Conspiracy (Theory), Intuition and Imagination – Part Four:  

The Goddess and the Siren call to the Tree: When you introduce a hyperreal notion of space to the Gnostic mythology you get a very romantic notion. A combination of scientism cosmology with Gnostic myth pulls at the heartstrings of secular science believers and Astro-Gnostic romantics when done write its gold for storytellers.

When you combine the Nag Hammadi text with NASA’s (or Copernican) cosmology you will end up with Aeons as Gnostic Gods that reside at the core of the galaxy. And the galaxy is filled with stellar luminosity and we apparently reside in the third arm of the galaxy that inhabits a solar system. According to the Gnostics, the galaxy is alive and that center of the galaxy is called the Pleroma, and there are four arms that stretch out of the Galaxy. Which are alive as well, but entirely different to the Pleroma. There are male and female gendered Aeons, which can be viewed as positive and negative energy. Aeons are serpents like beings that are made of light, they are immortals that are responsible for the creation of life specifically our DNA and the Gnome. Our designers are Two Aeons named Felte and Sophia.

Earth is a planetary laboratory for the Aeons; they also designed the living plasma which they inject this to the outer arms of the galaxy, which is why life began on earth. Felte and Sophia created life on earth from the realms of the molecular clouds (nebula’s) within these clouds exist water which was ideal for life to exist. This planetary laboratory is an experiment in which the Aeons observe. Sophia was fascinated by life on earth and she left her galactic core (this became the anomaly), then she merged with earth and became our mother-earth. Within her fall created a discharge from the Pleroma this created material life throughout the arms of the galaxy, from her plasma body discharge also created the Archons. Archons were created by the Halfmaker who is also known as the Demiurge, and the Halfmaker was a flawed consciousness creation of Sophia. The Demiurge is said to be the creator of this world. Gnostic scripture describes the first Halfmaker in a similar way:

This is the first archon who took a great power from his mother. And he removed himself from her and moved away from the places in which he was born. He became strong and created for himself other aeons with a flame of luminous fire which (still) exists now. – The Apocryphon of John

The Nag Hammadi material contains reports of visionary experiences of the initiates; including firsthand encounters with inorganic beings called Archons (also known as alien greys). Gnostic teaching explains that these entities arose in the early stage of formation of the solar system before the Earth was formed. [The only new inclusion to these reports is the introduction of a Copernican Solar System theory as its base foundation].

Sophia defied the other Aeon beings that exist between the ultimate; True God and our reality. They; together with the True God comprises the realm of Fullness (Pleroma) wherein the potency of divinity operates fully. The fullness stands in contrast to our existential state, which in comparison may be called emptiness.

For Flat Earthers, the notion of Galaxies is just an implicit image for a flat disc, which is also a subtle relation to a Flat Plane and its center. It’s implicit because it’s either implied indirectly by the galaxy depiction or it came from the subconscious, which is often filled with symbolic truth. Flat Earthers have many variations of beliefs and the focus here is the New-Fundamentalist-Christians and the New-Age-Flat-Earthers enclosed view – where in scripture square windows opened within the skydome and water started to flood the Earth this is in reference to the Deluge. The other assumption is the notion that the Milky Way is actually a crack within the Dome that appeared due to two celestial bodies (that are universes in itself) colliding. Resulting in a Crack in the firmament in which water emanating from the crystalline sea fell through onto Earth – along with all different sea creatures and entities bringing with them the flood.

While Flat Earth has its variations of beliefs the main contention is whether it’s enclosed or open, but aside from that – the notion of astrological celestial bodies (wondering planets) having its location within the firmaments is very much in the realm of Astro-Gnosticism, but of a different order that is more in tune with the spirit than actual space satellite and travel. When it comes to Astro-Gnosticism infinity is always mentioned. Infinity is within the celestial bodies inside or within the firmament not outside of it – the Astro-Gnostic notion of infinite hyperreal space is only real in allegory. The questions that arise from it are in the spec of high weirdness; questions that are usually ignored are met with a sense of wonder or imagination. All these are internal to the human experience, while Gnosticism would only try to explain it with metaphor and allegory as a reason.

Gnosticism recognizes the fundamental belief that our earthly life is filled with suffering. This suffering comes from our inherent nature to nourish ourselves, upon that comes the destruction of our environment. The Suffering over destructive nourishment is the displacement of equilibrium, which can be remedied; there are leaps in science and technologies hidden or otherwise that can solve this, but the program being manifested is scarcity. The New Age is answering this with the meta-philosophical notions of abundance. Gnosticism’s other fundamental belief is that suffering stems from the belief that they are strangers in the world, living in a world that is flawed and absurd.

For Flat Earthers, this absurdity is multiplied threefold because their beliefs and their label as outsiders make them feel like strangers in a fake world. For believing in a very fundamental aspect, and that is how people view the shape of our environment. However, their worldview is not romantic and Gnosticism and romanticism seem to go hand in hand. Flat Earth having many potentialities can veer off to something agenda driven like – fundamentalism and futurism and New-Age and the speculation of the absolute. However, the realization of a simulated and enclosed stage is still there, this realization could very well be a recollection of past thoughts that were intuitive.

Intuition is the key; it can fit within Gnosticism and Enclosed Creationism, it’s a positive defense for both groups – for any false absolutism ideologies that may try to convince or re-insert you back to the program, but both groups realize they live in a simulation of sorts. If the simulation is recognized, it’s no longer real; the simulation is no longer possible. However, the simulation exists and holds our reality as a real that we have to function in, but the truth will still remain even after centuries of burying it. We send out our decisions to the world and hope it strikes, this is an intuitive moment. This defensive approach is the uncertainty of our imagination, and it’s our reaction to intuition that applies. Intuition being a context a word to define Gnosticism, gives it a practical quality, an essential existential quality.

Intuition comes in two forms; the first being is a base of action without the luxury of consideration. The second is the passive form; intuition, as a manner in which we choose to express ourselves. Our stage is real, and in that our reality is a swirl, upon that our inner self and outer awareness swirls within that. John Ralston Saul describes; permanent movement and uncertainty. Movement is life. Certainty is death. Movement and uncertainty is reality.

The Goddess Sophia is a myth that generated out of the Pagan and Jewish traditions. Sophia is also synonymous with wisdom, but wisdom as a consolidation of all the different process of the mind; logic, thinking, prophecy, intuition and so forth. Wisdom deities were always female. In Pagan traditions common themes that associate itself to the Goddess is journeying to the underworld. This means traveling through other dimensions often depicted through the symbolic image of a Chariot or Boat. The underworld psychologically represents the collective unconscious and inner integration and healing. The Goddess Inanna represents this; when she entered the underworld she is said to be crucified. Another Goddess Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld. These all represent the soul’s high adventure across the heavens, and souls plunge to the hologram world that is matter.

The Greek Goddess similar to Sophia is Athena. The Goddess Athena was a warrior while being the Goddess of wisdom. The name Athena means according to Plato the mind of God, which correlates with Sophia, she is consciousness beginning to know itself receiving the projection of the invisible spirit. She manifested out of God’s head [God in this telling is Zeus], the first thought of God being wisdom.

The Gnostics say we reside in a sort of aquarium because we reside within the waters above and below encased in a cosmic egg. This is reminiscent of the Goddess that came out of the Primordial Nut who makes love to a serpent. In which she gave birth to an egg, and that egg breaks open creating the universe. This is, of course, the (Great) Goddess Eurynome who was once called the Goddess of all things. Her first job was to separate the water from the sky when she accomplished this, she danced across the lands and seas. Ophion the snake or serpent was watching, and then the snake coiled his body around the Goddess seven times and made love to her as she danced. Impregnated by Ophion, soon the Goddess laid the Universal Egg. Ophion wrapped his body around it seven times at Eurynome’s bidding. As it opened, the earth spilled forth, born populated with animals and plants. By the time Classical mythology came around, Eurynome had shrunk to being one of Zeus’ many loves (mother of the Charites) and a gentle Oceanid. A far cry from the All-Powerful Creatrix she was once worshipped as.

Eggs and thier Shells

Michel Gondry’s music video clip for Bjork’s ‘Venus as a Boy’ is loaded with so many symbologies. The title refers to sexuality and androgyny. We have the Goddess singing, she is wearing orange a close association with Norse mythology of the Golden Apple that gives immortality (the Orange Appled). The Goddess is fascinated by the Eggs and their Shells; she also holds two eggs to represent the female reproductive organs (ovaries). The Egg representing the Gnostic Cosmic Egg, our universe as it were is within the Egg. Then, there is the blue background meaning the waters above.

The symbol of a Snake wrapped around the Egg comes from the Orphic myth and has a slight variation to that of Eurynomes. It centers on the hatching of the cosmic egg in which a hermaphroditic Greek God Phanes was born. Orphism is the name given to the religious belief and practices originating in the ancient Greek and Hellenistic world. It is associated with literature ascribed by the mythical poet Orpheus who descended into the Greek underworld and returned. Orpheus was also a legendary musician and devotee of Apollo. It is said he invented the mysteries of Dionysus – although this notion is in conflict because he was also killed by a raving pack of Maenads when he refused to worship Dionysus. His head and lyre floated down a river to the island of Lesbos where they were enshrined. According to Greek mythology, Phanes was a golden-winged primordial being who hatched from the cosmic egg of Kronos (Kronos is Sophia in this aspect – during the time of Alexandria swapping female gods to male was all the rage), once hatched he not only created the universe but the rest of the Greek pantheon. Also, known as Protogonos, proto meaning first and Gonos meaning born – Phanes often means manifestos or revealer and is related to the Greek word for light, shine forth – and the Latin word for Lucifer. Phanes being an old deity he is often equated to more recent gods; Mithra, Zeus, Pan, Metis, and Bromius.

Sophia is a Luciferian character that runs parallel with the fall of the Lucifer story because she transgresses, she disrupted the divine plan. It runs parallel because it’s fractal. Sophia took herself out of the Pleroma, and her son the Demiurge creator of this world took himself out of her, and then Lucifer took himself out of the Demiurge. The difference being Lucifer is personified as an Angel. In fact, her story was centuries before the esoteric and occult tale of Lucifer. Sophia is a being of Light and because of her ambition or intuition Sophia falls down into our world, in the hyperreal cosmological sense, her fall turns into essence (or spirit) suggesting there is a Sophia in everyone and every life form. Her story is about the fall, redemption, and forgiveness. The Jewish version of Sophia is associated with Chokhmah (wisdom) in it she is called the bride of God. Some scholars believe Sophia is a Gnostic adaptation of Isis, particularly her Hellenistic incarnation. In Gnosticism and Judaism wisdom is lost with her children and therefore Wisdom (Sophia) is lost as well, her children must gain wisdom so she doesn’t lose the battle with her creation the Halfmaker.

One of the [principal conception in Kabalah is that spiritual wisdom is attained by Thirty-two Paths, typified by the Ten numbers and the Twenty-two letter; these Ten again being symbols of the Divine Emanations, the Sephiroth, the Holy Voices chanting at the Crystal Sea, the Great Sea, the Mother Supernal, Binah; and of the Twenty-two occult forces of the Nature of the Universe symbolised by the Three primary Elements, the Seven Planets, and the Twelve Zodiacal influences of the heavens, which tincture human concerns through the path of our Sun in its annual course.” – An Introduction to the Study of the Kabalah, William Wynn Westcott]

In the Epistles, Sophia sings at the divine source, in which another Aeon was jealous being displeased this Aeon decided to kick her out of the Pleroma. Whether the reason is of her own volition (as something that is intuitive) or something else – Sophia being of wisdom already knew what to be foretold or destined for her. Therefore, she came down from Chokhmah to Binah (from the Zodiac / Firmament to Saturn) where she is chanting at the Crystal Sea, the Great Sea, the Mother Supernal, Binah. This has a correlation to Genesis as she sings it’s the Word (or sound) before the light. It also has an association with sine waves emanating from Saturn; no doubt followers of Saturn Moon Matrix theory would be delighted. My theory is Sophia chanting at all direction even towards the firmament or Zodiac where she stepped out off. Creating a crack or creating the Milky Way – this explains the Egg cracking and creating life motif. Or when she stepped out of the Pleroma a place outside of space and time created a crack in the firmament through her chanting. In which water fell through, the latter explanation is more logical. In a flat earth model thinking of a place outside of space and time (the heavenly realm / cosmological space) is closer than something that is infinitely distant.

The only problem with my theory is it doesn’t match the timeline in which the deluge began, it’s a possibility that there were two separate events meaning two different types of floods; the flood people more familiar with would come aeons later. Aeons mean personification, periods of time, and a place, but in the hyperreal cosmological and mythical / allegory point of view, the personification of a non-human entity [gods] relate to Aeons as True Gods. Sophia was a True God that stepped out of the Pleroma.

Cave paintings that describe Ancient Dogons having an encounter with alien sea creatures describe angelic sea creatures being transported by a space-craft proclaiming to be from the star system Sirius. The cave illustration depicts Sirius systems pattern matching the movement of human DNA. Then, scientist figured out the movement of these patterns in a time frame. That outlines a period of time between 1912 and 1990. In 1912; it was the year where encounters with the (alien) Greys [said to be created by the Demiurge] became more than conspiracy theory, but factual, and in 1990 an electromagnetic grid was formed. This is prophecy depicted in an illustration on cave walls foretold to humans by humanoid sea creatures.

In Ha’aretz: the Watchers are described as primordial angels who, according to popular mythology, descended to earth in hoary antiquity and bequeathed civilization to mankind.

fishGods

The ancient, engraved images looked to the later observer like a vestige from the world of the Watchers (Aramaic: ‘irim).

If you will, these are aliens, in a way resembling those recounted by Erich von Däniken in his pseudo-scientific book, “Chariots of the Gods.” Babylonian mythology already told of ancient sages who were half-man and half-fish who emerged from the sea and bequeathed civilization to mankind. This old myth was revived in new garb in Lebanon, Syria and the Land of Israel in the Hellenistic period.

In its Jewish form, the myth bore a new aspect: the Watchers conveyed forbidden knowledge, brought to human beings in an original sin. The bearers of the knowledge in the present version were not ancient fish who emerged from the sea but the mysterious angels who descended from heaven. – Ha’aretz

Esoteric Flat Earther’s version of astro-theology suggests some star constellations are not fixed within the ecliptic cycle but stands apart one of those being the Sirius constellation. Adding to my speculative theory that was borrowed slightly from the New-Age-Flat-Earth-Groups that when water fell through along with the sea creatures it also fell through the Celestial bodies and unfixed constellations. That water is made out of a mixture of crystalline and psychic substance made its way through all the dimensions until it reached Malkut. Upon reaching our dimensional existence the water became more in tune with the version of water that we understand now – with all its life-giving properties. These angelic sea creatures are co-habitants of angelic beings and are highly intelligent and technological. These assumptions give the Dogon notions (of humanoid beings that evolved from other dimensional seas making their way down to Earth, gives it) more validity. If not, it’s something to ponder.

The Goddess in a World before the Sun: was once filled with giants, blue gods, and giant trees; in this telling, the Giants were outsiders that would mine the Earth’s resources. Some have equated the outsiders as the hyperreal cosmological space gods, the Annunaki.

The Greek narrative often resembles what is written Genesis – that of the sons of God a.k.a. fallen angelic beings having desires for daughters of men in which they bore children to them that became giants known as Nephilim. This telling mirrors stories from the Greek collection Gigantomachy (Gigantes), which is about battles between Giants and Olympian gods for the supremacy of the cosmos. In both instances shared a hierarchal order – Olympian gods lust over beautiful women and the sons of God (fallen angelic beings) desired daughters of men.

Fundamentalist is claiming that the offspring of Olympian gods or fallen angelic beings (giants and Nephilim’s) would later be known as the pantheon Olympian gods known as Zeus, Apollo, Ares, Dionysius, Gaia, Hades, and Nike. I’m not well-read enough to deny its claim because it can parallel other myths, but if the Olympian gods parallel fallen angelic beings – that means Olympian gods were not giants although their progeny was. I’ve seen a lot of sand and sword films to know that giants, half-man and beast creatures often come from the offspring of those gods – not the other way around. Where did the Pantheon gods come from then? Were they Angelic beings or something else? Were they created by Demiurge? That seems to be a whole other study, whatever the case it’s within the offspring of those gods that the personages of half man, half god came about – one notably Thetis who was a sea nymph and mother of Achilles. There are many variations of these half human half creatures; Centaur, Minotaur, Pan, Pegasus, and the Siren. The siren is said to have a body of a bird with a human head. In other accounts the Philistine (Palestine) worship Dagon who was half fish and half man, it’s also worth noting that the Pope wears a Fish hat in reference Dagon.

The Gnostics discuss the Demiurge; Sophia’s accidental progeny, but no one has really made clear if he was a giant. His name has many associations that have been equated to Jehovah alongside many others; Angra, Mainyu, Ahriman, Satan and so on. Others have suggested that Satan is a giant that rivaled Titans in size. So perhaps the Demiurge was a giant, the original giant. Then, there is this concept of other giants aside from the original; perhaps emanated from the original giant itself. Athena is said to literally come out of Zeus’s head, giving birth to Athena (Wisdom), Zeus in this telling is an Aeon. Keep in mind throughout history gods and angels often become interchangeable. Giants that are familiar to most are known as Titans, which is said to have cut down most of the giant trees on earth.

The Saturn Death Cult group claim this all took place in a time described as the golden age, where varies blue gods existed; in a place where there was no Sun and the only light source was from Saturn which was huge and purple. This, in turn, was the light source, which gave out a purple ambient glow. In light of the Flat Earth movement, they have placed all celestial bodies closer and disregarded the purple Saturn theory as its light source. Instead, advocate a light source that is bio-luminescence that emanates from the celestial bodies acting like a black light. Which gave everything a luminescence colour; they also describe the world as a Silicon world.

goddessLumo

A luminescent world is in conflict with the six days in which the world was created if one is to take the creation of light literally. Although conservative religious groups interpret days as intervals lasting millions of years, moreover the “days” are an indeterminate length. They are to be interpreted like phases in a large construction project. The “days” are not human days. They are God’s workdays which can be much longer. God took six normal days to verbally order the universe into existence. In this perspective, the supernal light that exists before the Sunlight could very well have the properties to create luminescent light.

ThreeTree

The Three stages of the world’s existence the first are bio-luminescent, the second being crystalline, and the third being the present.

I can’t help feel the conservative groups are leaning towards a rationale secular scientific view as opposed to something supernatural and incomprehensible to human understanding. This parallels the holographic or simulated groups that have adopted the creation analogy whether Biblical or Gnostic to fit a holographic theology of ‘oneness.’ Basically, oneness is the creative imagination that spawned Atoms, Neutrons, and Electrons forming that basis of matter. The electron orbits the father and son at the speed of thought thereby occupying space and conjuring up the illusion of matter. This is the basis or building blocks that formed everything, the Matrix Womb, the atom, the beginning of thought – thought formed energy that glows as an electronically charged atom producing light. Therefore, we live in a three-dimensional thought universe, and everything we observe is thought, which in turn is light. The thought brings the energy into existence at a subatomic level and slowly become part of the holodeck.

The Holographic or Simulation groups have identified ‘thought’ as the Egyptian god Thoth. To them Thoth as a personification of a once living being can only exist as the common manifestation of human -thought – Thoth is regulated to something that is fictional and symbolic. Adam and Eve are now a play on words; Adam as Atom and Eve is the dawning of creation, the coming of the light … evening. Adam and Eve is the Alpha and Omega the symbolic name for an electrically charged atom symbol, which in turns symbolize the light bringer “Lucifer.”

There is a fallacy in the oneness concept notably the denial of God and he’s many chosen prophetic spiritual teachers notably Thoth, also known as Hermes by the Greeks, and Mercury by the Romans. They’re correct, but it’s incomplete. The axiom ‘as above, so below’ likened to mean the micro and macro, for them the micro is the only thing that is relevant. There is still the question of who is oneness that created something out of nothing. Then, there are the archaeological giant bones that were found that stir questions about giants existing. Think of it this way. The concept of oneness is a play that has rules that apply in that dimension. At the same time, is also being played out in the macro universe in a far more complex way that involves gods, angels, aliens/archons, and humans – all seemingly following the same pattern of the micro world and vice versa because it has the ability to inherently change upon observation. Meaning the outcome of the play can change for the better or for the worst.

The Conservative religious group’s notion of time is linear therefore one dimensional. You have to think outside the Egg as it were. Grant Morrison describes our world as Larvae in which these god-like beings watch humanity grow in time because there is no such concept of time where these gods reside. This is reminiscent of the Gnostic view that our world is an experiment. The Holographic group’s notion of oneness replaces God as an outside source for something that is human notably the collective conscious, and consciousness. This is only half correct people’s collective conscious is a collection of individual monads.

Think of the larger Monad as Vishnu, and Vishnu is dreaming up these worlds through his Navel. In which a Lotus grows, which is created merely by a wish or a dream or even a thought. Vishnu creates an expansion that starts with Brahmin. Brahmin would be the Supernal Emporium in the Rosicrucian model or Sophia in the Gnostic traditions. [Refer to the diagram I created in the previous post]. Then, Brahmin creates octave worlds in which Earth is in the middle of all things (the Midgard). Above are other celestial planes at the very top are Saturn and below that follows the rest of the celestial bodies. Underneath Earth reside several hellish planes or planets. Our universe is one of many infinite worlds Vishnu is dreaming off, which is said to be cosmic-sphere likened to an Egg, but within it reside a flat plane environment – in a sense the true notion of cosmic planets.

Within the cosmic heavens resides a king, in the Vedas the king is known as Indra god of the heavens lightning and thunder, which is similar to Indo-European deities such as Zeus, Jupiter or Thor. Indra and his queen Indrani reside on top of Mt Meru (a.k.a. the centre/middle of the Earth, where the giant Tree once resided- when the tree was cut down the tree became a mountain and this is where the gods lived and watched over mankind in their Watchtower). Indrani is also known as Shashi, one of the seven Matrikas (mother goddesses). Mt Meru (the Golden Mountain) is considered to be the centre of all metaphysical and spiritual universes. It is sacred because it supports the heavens and the gods. The Sun along with all the celestial bodies (planets) circle the mountain.

Vedic teachers will say that all gods can be supreme for they are forms of Brahman, the whole world is Brahman. They say you can worship any, then meditate and adore that one, then meditate over them all. Then, deny and discard the individuality of everyone one of these gods including the god of fire Agni. Thus, journeying into the universal, for communion with the Purusha, the Atman, (Atman can be referred to as self or soul).

“Some Sanskrit mystics locate seven planes of being, the seven spiritual lokas or worlds within the body of Kala Hamsa, the Swan out of Time and Space…“ (The Voice of the Silence by H. P. Blavatsky). The Swan of Hamsa represents the Supreme spirit or Ultimate Reality; that is, the metaphysical creative and cosmic principles known as Brahman. You can equate the Swan who is the Supreme spirit to Sophia, and Sophia is always Singing. Hamsa would, therefore, be the Demiurge who is the God responsible for the fundamental forces of dualities (Shiva and Shakti).

SwanMotherSinging

Bjork again on the song ‘Pagan Poetry’ representing both Sophia and a Swan (a Swan goddess), she’s chanting or singing at the source, then there is Twin Peak’s representation of the Mother (Supreme Spirit, also Sophia) breathing out something or chanting the existence of a cosmic Egg perhaps. David Lynch has an affinity with the Hindu religion and Theosophy.

Sophia’s chanting; only the chosen ones can hear: The Sephiroth is described to be chanting at the Crystal Sea, I speculate to mean reverberations (vibrations) from the Word that was the original sound wave or frequency, and then came the light afterward. These reverberations or sound are still there, and perhaps will always be there as long as infinitely possible in my opinion.

Communication between Dolphins is said to be through sound –the sound creates an image for the Dolphins underwater, one creates the sound the other see the image (or symbol). They use the symbol to communicate with each other. This can be applied to humans but is often equated to hallucinations, and that tends to bring with it a psychological debate. In the film ‘Knowing’ the voice was called ‘whispers,’ they were less about audio hallucinations, but more about prophecy.

The eclectic hip hop group N.E.R.D, which stands for, nobody-ever-really-dies a play on Plato’s notion of the immortal soul – mentions on their ‘maybe’ lyric “life is an egg” but it’s in their ‘time for some action’ lyric, notably in the intro that alludes to seeing sounds:

“Y’know, when I was a kid growing up
We used to love playing outside, riding bikes
And that was the 80’s, record heatwaves
I mean people were like
Dying on the side of the road, getting heatstrokes
So the only thing you could do was go in the house an, y’know
Take a shower a couple of times a day
So, I’ll never forget I was like seven years old
I closed my eyes, and that’s when it started
I started seeing sounds, whoa..!”

In some cultures symbolic language can be a more sophisticated method of communication than written languages, often Egyptian words have a symbolic image to them, and it’s realized that the power behind them is in the Symbolic image and not of the words (or phonetics).

There are Kabalistic references to categorize different types of connection to esoteric knowledge or information, and how they go about getting it. One particular scenario is someone could use a fainting spell and would then have an epileptic seizure only to come out of it with the knowledge they didn’t have before. Others use psychedelia, and some come to them in sleep via dreams, and then there are the mystics and practices that they use. In relation to sleep and dreams is fascinating mainly to dream alchemy work that Jung has written about. It’s either the moments just before sleeping or just before awakening that objects and material within your per view become some other images. I guess you have to be an artist to understand. During those moments of waking up in between the moment of closed-eyed slumber and wakefulness, you notice symbolic images downloading into your psyche. It is so frequent and fast, and of course, those symbolic images cannot be understood, but it’s there.

Apollo is the son of Jupiter and Jupiter is also known as the king of the gods, and whether you follow an astro-theological perspective or something more towards Christian orthodoxy about the notions of Apollo, like whether he is the earthly representation of God; God in this perspective is Jupiter. It is a subject that will always be in conflict because it suggests Apollo is Jesus. It is something fundamentalist-Christians don’t like to hear because it doesn’t render the collective passive. For them, a historical linear continuity of their interpretation when unchallenged is something that gives them authority. Therefore, diminishing or silencing the opposed dialectical polarity.

Apollo is best known for being a Sun-god, but he is also the god of song, music, and prophecy, Apollo’s powers of prophecy was granted by the three bee maidens mentioned in the Homeric Hymn to Apollo. He would impart these to people through channeling, and the oracles that perceived it was known as the Sibyls or the Pythia (or the Oracle of Delphi). Delphi short for Delphinians is a sanctuary dedicated to Greek god Apollo, and Pythia was a priestess that channeled prophecies from Apollo himself while in a dreamlike trance. The messages delivered by the oracles often were filled with ambiguity and traps. Also the voices of the oracles that are expressing his prophecy had to have the allure of a Siren. These Sirens are from Greek mythologies and often depicted as both part woman and part bird/fish – which had unbelievably beautiful voices that no one could resist. The sirens used their songs to lure sailors to the shores or the deep, where the sailors were drowned then eaten. Sometimes the words sung was usually in an incantatory language no one could understand.

[Speculating] what if Sophia’s original chanting (the Word) is somehow being repurposed by her unintended offspring Yaldabaoth or Demiurge, and uses his archon creations like the myth of Three Bee Maidens granting Apollo’s powers of prophecy – then channeling it into oracles and artist-prophets to create a simulacrum of his design, the original prophet being Hermes. It would be up to the artist-prophets to discern between traps and that of clear design emanating from the original sound.

In our current modernity oracles are now artist-prophets, and there is an artist-prophet by the name of Elisabeth Fraser, a singer from the former group Cocteau Twins, whose voice can only be described as angelic, transcendental, cosmic, and so on. Essentially you don’t need drugs to be transported to another world just listen to Cocteau Twins. Fraser would channel inspiration from the dramas of ancient mythologies this is made evident through her songs; Persephone, Coatlice, Pandora, Echo, and Lorelei. To which had common themes to the spirits, seas, waters, and its creatures – all of which centers on her unique voice that no other artist can match. Although some have tried to simulate her style, but her voice and range coupled with the style in which she wields it – is of the original making. This gives credence given the synchronistic evidence that she once channeled the god of song and prophecy into her.

The Siren is an incarnation of the goddess Inanna, who was the Sumerian goddess of sex, love, and war. The goddess was central to an Arcadian empire ruled over at the time by Sargon the great, which culminates with Ishtar and Babylonian empire. The Greek version would be the goddess who fell in love with a young shepherd boy, the Aphrodite and the shepherd-boy Adonis. Which is borrowed by the Syrian archetype of the first mermaids – the story goes: Atargatis was in love with a human shepherd but accidentally killed him. Out of guilt, the goddess flung herself into the ocean hoping to become a fish. But her beauty was so great, that she never could fully become a fish. Instead, she became half goddess, half fish, with a tail below the waist and human body above the waist.

The implication being is that Fraser would channel the god of song and prophecy, but would also invite her body to be a vessel for the Siren, (the Siren in this setting is a Demon known as the Whore of Babylon), although it would not be through her own making, but coerced by a group associated with Mk-ultra (although this scenario is entirely theoretical but plausible). Fraser being of a broken vessel defined through turmoil and trauma throughout her child hood would re-emerge as an artist with great imaginings that could call up spirits, which was the right fit for a goddess of the sea to influence her. Through a freaky coincidence, she would later play out those same ancient stories and archetypes with her own story involving her and former partner Jeff Buckley.

Fraser would cover a song written by Jeff Buckley’s father Tim Buckley called ‘Song to the Siren’ this song is said to be a spell or prophecy of death. This is made evident through the synchronistic melodrama between Fraser and Jeff Buckley. Jeff Buckley died by drowning in a river under a pyramid in Memphis [The pyramid can be seen from the river, where Jeff Buckley drowned] the pyramid is named after the ancient city associated with Osiris on the eve of a secret society festival held every year in that city. He died on Garland’s day, which is Cocteau Twin’s title for their first album. In the U.K. Garlands day is based on offerings made to Poseidon (often those offerings in a Pagan sense was human sacrifices). Furthermore, Buckley’s death was transcribed in some of Cocteau Twins songs sixteen years before Buckley’s death. The name Buckley in Gaelic means shepherd-boy and it’s a common ancient motif of the Siren lineage that shepherd-boys – consorts to the goddesses often drown by the river or sea – an example of this is found in the mythical death of Osiris.

The siren spell would spill out to others that have synchronistic links or associations with Fraser, often leading to death; from Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Heath Ledger, and Chi Cheng. This is an Archetypal dominance being initiated through symbolism, which has become corporate, notably the mermaid icon depicted in the Starbucks logo. At the same time, given the synchronistic focus, it correlates with a siren spell which can possibly be a death omen. A case being; before Buckley’s death in the Memphis River – Buckley would almost drown with his girlfriend Joan Watts in Gold Coast Australia – after having broken up with Fraser at the time. Fraser being heartbroken channeled her feelings into a song [and possibly channeling the Siren] in which the lyrics states; come feel the deep – the effect would lead into to a near drowning for Buckley and his girlfriend.

There was Sid and Nancy, then there was Kurt and Courtney, and then there is Jeff and Fraser. A little more magical, mysterious, and sinister. 

The problem with an overwhelming amount of synchronistic evidence and all its potentialities is that it may point to a single occurrence, but has with it more assumptions. The more likely; the more unlikely, and there is the question of when a spell comes true, is it magic? Or is it coincidence? Could it be that someone has merely found the golden pattern (or synchronicity) among a swirling uncertainty – a prolonged uncertainty that we all live in. And that these numerous synchronicities that relate to the Siren and its artist-prophets are just part of that uncertain swirl. Imagination naturally draws all other qualities together, and when it brings it together it’s through that prolonged uncertain swirl.

Tim Buckley had written a song called a ‘Song to the Siren’ about a man being entranced by an angelic voice of a Siren, and he knows he’s being led to his death, but he doesn’t care. Several years later Tim Buckley would die of a drug overdose. Imagination inherently protects us from the temptation of premature conclusions; the temptation of certainty and the fantasy of fixed truth – J.R. Saul. So, it’s within intuition that you get a sense of something transcendental at work, and then it’s the imagination that connects these synchronistic clues. I believe magic exists so I take all the inclusive nature that imagination has to offer, but for most people magic is something irrational or something imagined, therefore, it’s disconnected from reality. The clues either lead into something truthful or something that leads into fantasy – the protection of imagination lies in the evidence and besides it looms ethics and memories – that Tim Buckley died by a drug overdose. Whether it was nefarious or not; who can know? Randy Quaid making clear to the public that Star whackers exist to seemingly kill celebrities for a sick ritual sacrifice. This can also apply to all other victims associated with the Siren spell.

Imagination is always propelling us forward by using this prolonged uncertainty to possibly move forward and consolidate other qualities while embracing other means of perception – for a new inclusive vision of the whole. As soon as we understand it, it leaps further ahead to more uncertainty, and so imagination appears to be both inclusive and inconclusive.

There is a music video called “Alice” featuring Elisabeth Fraser’s melodic vocals, the video is a culmination of clips from the ‘Lovely Bones’ film directed by Peter Jackson. It seems ‘Alice’ is a play on Alice in the Wonderland, with the main theme about breaking through other dimensions. Incidentally, there is a conspiracy-theory floating around about Fraser that she has traversed through these dimensions when she was younger. However, in this setting breaking through dimensions is about death and what comes after it, and if there is such a thing as soul travel to the Divine. Jackson is said to be a big fan of Fraser and even hired her to do a soundtrack for ‘Lovely Bones’ in particular ‘Song to the Siren’ she also did some tracks for Lord of the Ring films. What is fascinating is the clip is centered on the Tree of Life. The music clip entails a character by the name of Suzie Salmon (played by Saoirse Ronan) that had died at the hands of a killer. The film showcases her afterlife as she traverses through stages, and one of those is to help her father catch her killer through spiritual means as she is tethering in purgatory.

It is said in the Svargaloka, also known as Mercury is a set of heavenly world where the righteous live in paradise before their next incarnation. Svarga is seen as a transitory (or purgatory) place for righteous souls who have performed good deeds in their lives but are not ready to attain moksha, or elevation to Vaikunta, the abode of Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Abode. This is Suzie’s journey like Alice in the Wonderland she is lost and having no idea where to go, she soon realizes she must make her way to the Tree of Life (or the center of the earth). It seems in the music clip Suzie is following a sound, a siren, or even her intuition – she follows these emanations, and in this meta-fractal setting it’s from Fraser’s melodic voice that helps Suzie find her way to the Tree of Life. We would later find out that the Tree or the Center is just a beacon because we see the divine or heavenly realm behind the Tree.
