I'm unable to type much, as I have a partially paralysed hand. The accompanying pain has diminished but full movement has yet to return.
I've spent my convalescence re-viewing Coen Brother movies and discovered that no twofilmreviewersagree on which movies are their best. For what it's worth, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple and Millers Crossing didn't make the grade for me, but O Brother, Where Art Thou reminded me of how funny George Clooney is under their direction.
I also found the Siren scene seen above, reminiscent of Christopher Knowles posts on the subject, although in this instance, the timing lacks synchronicity, and thus a cigar is just a cigar.
Around the time I was digesting and coming to terms with the implications of hypothetical collapsing time and the more concrete precession of the equinox (I'm not a solstice fan on this one and prefer March 2013) I met an acquaintance of mine on the streets of Bangkok at around three in the morning. We do this from time to time and usually exchange pleasantries though on this occasion I explained my latest thoughts on astro theology which are quite difficult to get your head around on first try but I don't like trivial small talk if I can avoid it. It was his response that surprised me as he talked about UFO's and a recent New York incident. That was how I googled the term disclosure which opened up a rather large can of worms for me. The New York incident is discussed in the interview above by Mike Clelland with Christopher Knowles but I think it free wheels a bit after that into other interesting territory.
I'm semi reluctant to plug Christopher Knowles interview here because I'd hate to see this post contributing to wider attention and better bill paying gigs that distract him from his book writing and excellent blogging. Christopher is the first person to credibly explain to me why The Clash were so good. I've never been into them but knew I was missing something from friends explanations, and it's nailed in this awesome interview about the secret history of Rock & Roll which connects straight back to the mystery schools and Dionysian waywardness.
If you don't learn a lot from this interview then you shouldn't be reading this but instead should be interviewed yourself. Christopher makes the interesting point that Rock & Roll can't be reinvented like say Nirvana did with the current hipster scene in music bars too self concious to bounce off the walls in case they look silly on Facebook pic uploads. He's a first class observer of the times and I urge everyone to listen to the excellent and erudite interview originally done by Cosmic Gnostic
Christopher Knowles echoes a sentiment I wrote about last year (and have pasted below) that the Vatican, the U.N. and The Royal Society have quietly rearranged the tables with respect to the 'multi-dimensional other'. The servant classes in the media haven't picked up on it yet but as long as the top tier is covered that's all that matters. It should be an interesting year.
There is a considerable section of the population who believe that anything really momentous and important is going to be announced in the Rose Garden of the Whitehouse to the Whitehouse Press Corp. That isn't actually the way it works if anybody has been paying attention to Wikileaks. We're no more treated like adults capable of handling the truth than the children we rear on a diet of small to disgraceful lies on every subject from sex education to the nature of Father Christmas ( a story worth exploring given its Shamanistic roots). If the news is really momentous it is leaked first unless its the build up to war in which case the enemy is dehumanised to a steady beat of propaganda. Government never really govern if indeed they ever really have since the end of the Second Sorld War. (See military industrial complex for more on that subject).
The Vatican made a curious announcement during the Pope's visit to the UK regarding their their recognition of the right of aliens to be baptised. This is a matter not without importance given that it's only the sons of Adam who can enter the Kingdom of God. It's also worth noting that the institutions most at risk of losing authority are the top down hierarchical religions who seemingly are the least spiritual guardians on the planet.
Then it's always worth mentioning that the most respected and oldest science institution on the planet have begun to discuss what to do if extra terrestrial life is an impending realisation on our species. Regrettably the Royal Society still assumes people use internet explorer which might explain why they are on the same page as the corporate owned media when it comes to stunning scientific revelations of this nature.
Also we have Dr Stephen Hawking, the most famous and respected space cowboy on the planet who recently warned us that we should hide from aliens as they may not be friendly. This is preposterous given the striking blue visibility of our planet and our current inability to manoeuvre it out of sigh. It fully matches the heights of his recent quantum and relativity work which finally concludes that God could exist, but scientifically doesn't need to.
The latest addition to institutional approval of contemplative mystery (a mode of thinking strictly disapproved of until it's approved) is the emergence of a United Nations ambassador for Space in the shape of astrophysicist Mazlan Othlan of Malaysia. The selection of a national from a country that few people can pin point on a map to greet any alien life in an official capacity on behalf of planet Earth says bundles about the trust that currently exists with the most powerful people on Earth. Don't they usually get first dibs at moments of history? It may well be the case that any future visitors have already shown their contempt for our leadership hierarchy. Maybe that's what crop circles are telling us.
But the real clincher that encouraged me to come off the fence and suggest that we are about to be in for some hard core unlearning (i.e taken off the teat of government information) is that BUSINESS is being briefed at $4000 a ticket about alien business potential. In a recent summit of the Global Competitiveness Forum in Riyadh where former British and Canadian Prime Ministers, Tony Blair and Jean Chretien; Jim Albaugh, President and CEO of Boeing; Andy Bird, chairman of Walt Disney International; Jared Cohen, Director of Google ideas, and many others were told about evidence of UFOs and ET life. In short, world business leaders were told that flying saucers were real and that the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations made possible a special kind of UFO for astute entrepreneurs – Unprecedented Financial Opportunities. A mystery participant to the GCF was former U.S. President Bill Clinton who spoke about advanced energy systems that await international development. A point not lost on the Saudi Arabian Government no doubt and possibly the reason for such an odd place to discuss the matter.
It's worth reviewing the videos I posted a short while back on unidentified activity over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Again, I only know they are lights but they act like nothing I've seen before and if the rumours of reverse engineered technology tucked away in the military industrial complex are true or even if we admit the record of false flag operations by Goverment is's hard to know what it is. I'm happy to call that instance a mystery but for the bulk of this post? You heard it here first but could have heard it earlier from Freeman.
Mike Clelland interviews Christopher Knowles and riff on any number of subjects but the line that comes to mind is the question of why the Ancient Aliens hypothesis drives the high priests of opinion shaping nut?. This is interesting because the ancient alien evidence is in some ways more robust than say the dream-like, trans-dimensional, culturally influenced, conspiratorial phenomena of today. We don't have the cuneiform tablets for the 20th century, we don't have the Nag Hammadi texts or the cultural purity of UFO cave and alien paintings where the pseudo cynic can't point to the influence of popular-culture media influence or the constantly twitter trending psychological-hash-tag-theory-of-the-moment.
I find these audio interviews essential value for piecing together the mystery which spreads into every single thread of inquiry presented by the ubiquitous alien and UFO theme. It it a new archetype that is larger than the Trickster? Maybe it's a composite. A 21st century recombinant-culture archetype mashup working it's way through and threading together every culture and every facet of every culture, from the mass media of the military industrial govcorp complex to the oral tradition of the Dogon tribe of Africa or the Australian Aboriginals.
Fascinating & Infuriating. I am however most comfortable with alien abduction information. I find time and again that the tone of voice and extensive description of the enigma most real through this lens and so paradoxically I need the least evidence to convince myself. Tone of voice and conviction over time is where I find intuition more concrete than the flakes of empirical evidence we have.
Erik Davies interviews Christopher Knowles in a splendid game of cerebral tag on ecstatic transformation in popular culture, mystery cults, Oracles, the dangers of Dionysus, entheogens, Apollo, Serapis, Mithra and tracking the holistic mind online.
Well that and more but you get the picture (Henotheism is the pick 'n mix of ancient Greek deity worship, much more sensible than all that Zadokite bollocks if you must have a God).
Christopher Knowles is interviewed by Touchstone Tom (Malone) on Grok The Talk to explore one of the many fascinating themes of his unique blog, The Secret Sun. Topics covered include Synchronicity, Masonic and Egyptian memes and symbols, reflections of the Sirius glyph, Tutankhamen and much, much more in the way that only Christopher can so eloquently do. It's interesting to me that Christopher talks about the Romans appropriating the Egyptian symbols of Isis and that the very DNA of Egypt was embedded in Rome.
See update below: At the one hour thirty two minute mark the host Mike Clelland guest Christopher Knowles both riff on the mind fuck qualities of the experiencer phenomena and I have to say it fits perfectly John Lash's Archontic description through the Gnostics, that by and large they are playing with our heads.
As an aside I only learned the name crypto-terrestrials last week which I kind of liked but understand the weakness of as well though elusive companion doesn't hit the spot with me either.
There's a fantastic Arthur C. Clarke anecdote in this excellent podcast by Leo Sprinkle. Super cryptic and elusive but in some ways very revealing. Update: The original video has been removed so I replaced it with another. You may have to scout about on this link to find the original audio file.
