Eye Sync, Therefore I am?-)

Graham Hancock
I saw Graham Hancock had posted the above photo of himself with the eye patch over his left eye on his Facebook page on the 28th of August. He wrote -
"Second surgery this year. This time minor. Some sort of growth under my left eye biopsied this morning and sent off for diagnosis. Eye patch makes me feel like a pirate but won't be wearing it for long! Bloody uncomfortable and need to get back to work."
I was at the 32:28 minute mark of the above video on LSD where it says, "They call it the hollow mask study, it's all about the way our mind plays tricks on what the eyes see".
Matt Doust with his eye-patched artworks
Then I saw the story on artist Matt Doust from Oz who died in LA yesterday"
Internationally recognised WA artist Matt Doust dies in Los Angeles
The photo of him the ABC Radio's news website used was of Matt sitting in front of his artwork of two people with eye-patches over the same eye as Graham Hancock has at the moment.
" Doust, who was known for his highly refined portrait oil paintings, died after reportedly having a seizure.
The 29-year-old had a strong following among art collectors both nationally and internationally, including Hollywood actors Jim Carey and Mickey Rourke."

Jim Carey!??? (The Mask?)
The Mask?
You just can't make this stuff up if you tried.

Adam and Eve

I've been seeing a lot of the Adam and Eve story symbolism around lately, and it just struck me how deeply ingrained this story is in world culture. 
I personally think it is just a myth, but like all myths there is usually treasure buried in the depths of a muddy surface layer.
Having said that though, I don't buy the evolution story either.
Evolution no doubt happens in nature, but not to the degree the eggheads want you to buy into, I think.
And don't ask me how things got started, because I don't know, but just because there are two official camps in society giving their theory on how life started, doesn't mean either of them are right.
There has to be way more possibilities than just two.
It struck me the other day when my son's friend had bought some  
"5 Seeds" apple cider over and asked if I would like one.
I noticed the serpent on the label looking to what looks like a bare breasted woman in the top of the 5.
Also, under the cap (and on the apple on the label) there is an image of five apple seeds in a star arrangement as you would find if you cut an apple horizontally (Horus?)  across the center.
And watching the above video on the sexual symbolism in Churches and Masonic designed parks, gardens and buildings, there is no denying what is right in plain sight as we go about our daily lives in the big city and how much sex is designed into it all.
It's amazing what is right in front of you when you take a good look around.
Personally, it's no big deal to me, as sex is the way the world operates to produce life and as long as it's presented tactfully, I don't have a problem with it.
Unlike this performance above which is obviously aimed at shocking a general TV audience, as it's nothing but a cheap pole dancing routine. 
But I guess it gives the moralists somewhere to divert their attention to besides an illegal war which is about to start right in front of their faces.

Shamanism and Tea Drinking

Does that look like an owl to you?
I'm reading a book called Earth Mother Dreaming by
Scott Alexander-King, which is basically a practical training guide in shamanic practices.
There was a section in it about tea leaf reading 
(tea leaf reading and shamanism?!)which I was very tempted to pass over, but I decided to give it a go.
Now, I rarely drink tea, I'm more of a coffee drinker, so I had to go to the shop and buy a packet of loose leaf tea.
Since 1888?
A billy of tea boiling over a campfire
I forgot how refreshing tea was, and it made a nice change from drinking coffee all day, so if nothing else, Scott's book was helping me to break my coffee addiction 
(not that I would ever give up coffee, though)but I was a little skeptical with tea-cup reading.
Anyway, I made myself a cup of tea and followed the instructions in the book and asked the universe,  "should I continue on the path of shamanism as a subject to study and is this book just a waste of my time with practices such as this?".
I looked into the cup hoping I could find some sort of shamanic sign, like a crow, or something along those lines, and the first thing that registered to me was the above pattern which looked like an owl to me.
Owl?
In the book it says an owl represents gossip, scandal.
But I was specifically looking for a shamanic sign here and not some fortune telling answer to my question, so I will ignore that interpretation of my reading.
I also found the section on runes most enlightening, especially the rune DAGAZ, which in the book was the #23 rune, but it can also be #24 in a lot of other rune schools of thought.
Daz and Dagz are my nicknames and my birth-date is the 23rd, so I was attracted to this rune.

Dagaz – Rune Meaning

The Rune Poem: Verse XXIV Dagaz

Day is Odin's messenger, dear to men,
The Ruler's glorious light,
Mirth and hope to prosperous and poor,
Useful to all


Characteristics
A breakthrough. A new dawn or a major change of direction. Achievement and prosperity, a successful conclusion to a passage. Darkness is behind you because a new day has begun.
Dagaz means day, and in the Nordic lands of long nights and winters, the day is strongly associated with light and life. Dagaz is the essence of natural daylight, the new light of dawn, and the strength of the sun. Spiritually, it is the divine light, the high point of the natural cycle of darkness-light-darkness. It signifies brightness, growth, progress, development, and sometimes fundamental change.
Personal Interpretation
The divine light is guiding you towards your goal. Remain true, and good fortune will be with you. You are well protected by the power of the light. It will give you clear vision to avoid dangers, but don't be blinded by your ego. Remain humble and thankful for all the good things that come to you.
Well, I like to think that I'm on the right path reading this book and studying shamanism.
So far it seems I may be.
It's not the first time that I was prompted to try tea-leaf reading either, but it's the first time that I gave it a really good go.

All Roads Lead to Canberra?

I found these videos of the hidden geometry of Australia's capital city, Canberra, by Halfasheep and having never been to Canberra myself, I found just the sight-seeing aspect of them fascinating, as well as the esoteric speculations of Halfasheep's, too.

Great Scott! It's the Wizard of Oz;-)

Canberra ... Capital Punishment. Bag Tag

Babylon in Thelema is represented by the 7 pointed star .... Babylon in Thelema is associated with the sephiroth Binah which is the sphere for Saturn.
The 49th chapter of Crowley's Book of Lies, called 
"Waratah-Blossoms", is dedicated to Babalon:

     Seven are the veils of the dancing-girl in the harem
         of IT.
     Seven are the names, and seven are the lamps beside
         Her bed.
     Seven eunuchs guard Her with drawn swords; No
         Man may come nigh unto Her.
     In Her wine-cup are seven streams of the blood of
         the Seven Spirits of God.
     Seven are the heads of THE BEAST whereon She
         rideth.
     The head of an Angel: the head of a Saint: the head
         of a Poet: the head of An Adulterous Woman: the
         head of a Man of Valour: the head of a Satyr
         and the head of a Lion-Serpent.
    Seven letters hath Her holiest name; and it is

none 
This is the Seal upon the Ring that is on the Fore- finger of IT: 
and it is the Seal upon the Tombs of them whom She hath slain.

Let Him that hath Understanding count the Number of Our Lady; 
for it is the Number of a Woman; and Her Number is 156.

Is 2001: A Space Odyssey About Freemasonry?

Masonic riddle? How, it is asked, can a square be oblong?
The Lodge symbolically is an
oblong square
in this sense.
 I was reading this passage this morning -
"This has long been a puzzle word in Masonic nomenclature. 

How, it is asked, can a square be oblong, when a square is equal on all its sides? 
The answer is that in this connection “square” is used in the sense of rectangle; the angles are squared, not the sides.
Oblong is derived from ob, near, or before, and longus, long; that is, it means something approximately long, so that the main axis is much longer than the others, as a slender leaf, a shaft, etc. 
An “oblong square is a rectangle of which two opposite sides are much longer than the other two. 
The Lodge symbolically is an oblong square in this sense."
http://www.masonicdictionary.com/oblong.html
"A parallelogram, or four-sided figure, all of whose angles are equal, but two of whose sides are longer than the others. 

Of course the term oblong square is strictly without any meaning, but it is used to denote two squares joined together to form a rectangle."
"Brother C. C. Hunt (Builder, volume ii, page 128), says it is the survival of a term once common but now obsolete; that at one time the word square meant right-angled, and the term a square referred to a four sided figure, having four right angles, without regard to the proportionate length of adjacent sides. 

There were thus two classes of squares; those having all four sides equal, and those having two parallel sides longer than the other two. 
The first class was called perfect squares and the second class ob1t squares."
This is the symbolic form of a Masonic Lodge, and it finds its prototype in many of the structures of our ancient Brethren. 

The Ark of Noah, the Camp of the Israelites, the Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle, and, lastly, the Temple of Solomon, were all oblong squares."
and I couldn't help thinking that apart from
the Monolith being a black cinema screen, could it also be the 
Holy of Hollies, or at least represent the Lodge in
the oblong sense of the word as in the above passage?
Oblong is used to denote two squares
joined together
to form a rectangle
Does that FLOODlight remind you of 12 tribes from the earth?
12 tribes
Does that look like a floodlight on that guy's chest, or what?
Bowman becoming a Master Mason?
Kubrick seems to be aiming his films at the
Scottish Rite, more than the Blue Lodge.
Two squares that make one rectangle?
Black and white?
Looks a bit like the final room in 2001, style wise, no?
Skull and Bones?
First Lodge meeting?
A Republican (red) and a Democrat (blue)?
 Maybe they take turns on the throne
?
-)
Where have I seen that double-headed bird before?-)
The book suggests that the monolith awakened intelligence, and allowed man to advance from ape-men to a higher type of being. 
It was an instrument placed on earth by aliens, to help man accelerate in his evolution toward eventually becoming higher beings.
Dave Bowman is transported through space, to the end of the galaxy, by the monolith (Lodge? Oblong square?), which also acts as a kind of star gate.
Here the aliens have created a hotel like environment (Lodge?) to make David feel at home. 
He goes to sleep and his mind and memories are drained. 
The aliens then transform him into an immortal being 
(Master Mason?), a "star child", who can travel through space.
This sequence represents his evolutionary transformation and his rebirth into the next and higher level of existence.
Bowman eventually returns to earth (Jacob's Ladder?) 
(book version) and destroys all the nuclear weapons and becomes a kind of master/protector of the earth. 
This was the goal of the aliens all along, to make sure we didn't destroy ourselves and to preserve us, until we were able to evolve into higher, more peaceful beings. 
Many of the early space programs rocket scientists learned their craft during WWII, making rockets for Hitler's army
The U.S. and Russian military both dreamed of
building missile bases on the moon, in order to establish 
military dominance back on earth.
So, the space race of the 1960s, is seen by the author as a 
product of war.
The All Seeing Eye?
Room 237/The Shining?
Notice Bowman's Room 237 moment when he sees himself as an old man in the mirror, after landing his All-Seeing Eye in the
Grand Lodge of the universe
And why all of those chairs positioned around the
one eyed space craft like the chairs positioned in a Masonic Lodge?
Those chairs look a bit like chairs arranged
Lodge style around the squares.
Eye ball?
The Blue Lodge?
Coffin/Resurrection?
Skull and Bones?
Notice also that Bowman is wearing a red spacesuit in the end of the film?

If it was a cloak he was wearing and he was in the movie  
Eyes Wide Shut I wonder what we could name him?-)
The Scottish Rite is not part of the Blue Lodge,
but is made up of
Master Masons
.
The fallen angel story I'm talking about, not the myth of Satan.
The Light-bearer on 9/11, 2001?
The Monolith that was next to the
Twin Towers, but survived the fall?
Before the Twins were completed in the 70's.
The White Lodge/Pearly Gates/Solomon's Temple?
When the Twins were destroyed in 2001?
Millennium (Hilton) Monolith
Now, I don't believe in an Illuminati organization as such, but I can see a power play game going on between certain factions within, and between certain secret societies and institutions and the following clip I think does make a good point about people at the top of the world pyramid.
I don't say that entertainer's like MJ are in on things, but it does seem they have been exploited by some unscrupulous individuals who may not even be connected to any so called Illuminati organizations.
Take a look at the weird flying saucer like Masonic monument in Sydney, Australia in the clip above.
Maybe the Masons did have a connection (or, at least thought they had a connection) to aliens some time in the past, or even may still have one perhaps?-) 
Darkness represents ignorance in Freemasonry,
this is why the movie starts like this.
And end's with the Master Mason
being raised in a room full of light?
"In Freemasonry, even as in the system of Jewish and Christian religion, darkness is a symbol of ignorance; while light is a symbol of enlightenment and knowledge. 

It is a principle of Freemasonry that the natural eye can not perceive of the mysteries of the Order until the heart has embraced the deep spiritual and mystic meanings of those sublime mysteries. 
Hence all applicants for the Degrees of Freemasonry are required to enter the Lodge in total darkness, this darkness is preparatory and preliminary to his receiving the light he desires and searches.
http://masonic.wikidot.com/darkness-to-light
Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The Scottish Rite is the Illuminati faction of Freemasonry?
(i.e the Roman Catholic Church)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry
"The Scottish Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry. 
In England and some other countries, while the Scottish Rite is not accorded official recognition by the Grand Lodge, there is no prohibition against a Freemason electing to join it."
So, Kubrick was tipping off viewers of Eyes Wide Shut that the corrupt side of Freemasonry is The Scottish Rite and that it has probably been infiltrated by the Roman Church who are the so called Illuminati.
So, we have the Blue Lodge (the Knight's Templars, Protestants) 
VS
The Scottish Rite (who are really of French origin anyway)
(The Roman Catholic Church/Illuminati)

So, maybe this does mean a storm is coming after all, between the Blue and the Red Lodges?
Also remember that red and blue make purple. Rome?-)
"Purple was the color worn by Roman Emperors and magistrates, 
and later by Roman Catholic bishops
Since that time, purple has been commonly associated with royalty and piety.
