Beneath The Surface

I'm not sure of the correct phrase to use here. I'm not really certain 'beneath the surface' is what I'm trying to say...

You see, right now, I'd HAVE to presume that there MUST be at least some of you out there who read here, who are recoiling at where some of the discussion has been heading...

And one of the main reasons is going to be that you are inwardly denying the possibility that I could be 'right' broadly speaking, about what I am saying.

Okay but look at this example from pop culture of the last fifty years or so. Something that you would be pretty familiar with, I'm sure.

Casino Royale... 1953. The character 'Vesper Lynd.'

Polish. A double agent - working for the UK Secret Intelligence Service, and, so the narrative goes, for the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. 

In the novel her name is from the Latin for 'Evening.'

...And in the novel, Bond (Fleming, really) creates a cocktail named after her: the Vesper Martini. He knows she's a double agent, so he mixes Vodka with Gin, something previously virtually unheard of, really.

In the Dukes Hotel version, Alessandro Palazzi, exchanges the 'twist of lemon peel' for a twist of orange peel, because he says that outwardly the orange perfume will give the sense of the 'sweetness' of orange, but inwardly, the drink itself has quite a sting.

The 'Evening Star' is there somewhere!

So what I'm going to ask you to consider, is that there are many many instances in life, where yes, things are quite different, almost the polar opposite, beneath their surfaces... ...but I'd ask you to add to that, what I believe is also a fact, namely that there are regularly two parallel lines moving together at the same time, and they both have the same name, but they are quite different things when one is actually compared to the other.

Now. Do you think it is a co-incidence, that 'Vespa' is the Latin nomenclature used in science to say 'wasp?' Oh yes sure, the word 'Vesper' does indeed mean 'evening' in Latin.

Fleming writes the character as a double agent, and very sweet on the outside. So, did he deliberately intend, to have a name that, at least phonetically, had two entirely different meanings?

I mean, you did know, right, that 'Vespa' means wasp... And you always thought of that in context of this Fleming James Bond novel character... Right?

It isn't always easy jamming two things together and having them make sense - here's an audio example, however; it's two different songs:

'Never Felt So Good Here...'

I'm actually avoiding posting about some things right now. They are to do with some ideas about certain passages in the New Testament - and my reluctance is largely to do with how poorly the ideas will be received.

But I will outline some of the core aspects.

You see, I do not believe our friend Stanley Kubrick (about whom I gush all too frequently, of course)... ...I simply don't believe that the Indian mantra chanting in the backing tracks of the infamous 'orgy scenes' inside the 'dark mansion' are in there just because Stanley Kubrick thought they were 'great creepy sounds that go with the creepy scene.'

Don't forget, this is not the scene as Kubrick planned it,
but as the censors allowed him to film it;
everyone presumes it was because of nudity. No, it was because
of religious objections. ...But it is the scene with the Shiva Mantra
music behind it.

No, the chants themselves are from the Shiva Stotram - which is the pre-eminent Vedic yogic mantram in very high class poetry verses used in rituals for the destruction of the ego.

...A-a-a-a-nd, well, there are going to be some people in the 'mainstream Christian space' who are really not going to like any suggestion of mine that Christianity is literally a form of Vedic religion. Especially, they are not going to like it if I said something like, well, we know that Kubrick has apparently quite obviously mimicked a Christian 'church-y' thing with his 'Red Cloak' ritual with 'magic circle' and all that, with the incense and everything - at least, it's obvious enough and that is what everyone thinks... ...but no, he was depicting an actual Christian ritual.

Oh dear. Can't go down that path, right?

But you've got to realize something - you don't know what those 'behind closed door' rituals really were; you only have some 'reports' made by outsiders to the Roman Emperor Trajan (obvious not a Christian...) as to what went on inside there.

Trance music thing again...

Every single one of the elements of the Vedic Maha Devi secret ritual is present though, from the evidence (IE the words and elements present) of the Gospel and New Testament texts - the clear water, the appearance of a divine spirit of some kind, the 'Lord of Love' is literally mentioned as clearly as that in the actual Shiv-mantra, in South India they used 'Appam' cakes in the ritual and have done for thousands of years, well before Christianity as such...

The Greek texts of the Gospels even actually uses a Greek word for 'Yoga.'

Anyway forget all that! I'm still mulling over how far to reveal stuff here...

If I get people screaming blue murder at me, I'll maybe hold off.

This is not far up the road from where we live -
and that is Kate Walsh, who was stuck here and thinks the place
is just great. Which it is.

Although I could literally show you... And then you have to just deal with what you see, what your eyes and hears are telling you.

Meanwhile, let's just think about all the poor people that got stuck around the place when the Covid international travel bans happened. 

This was not the music video I was going to post - I was actually going to post a modern trance music version of the Shiva Stotram. It's not available as a YT video and I would have had to link to a FaceBook page. Might still do that later.

This is pretty good though - the words start at 2.05 in.

Accidents And Misdirection

I was saying the exact following thing to our friend Bill (one of our contributors here) this morning: 'Short of getting you to look out your window and tell me that you see a shiny metal disk there...'

LOL

Well short of that we are left with our ordinary and quite simplistic language often, and the need to grab with our thinking minds onto a few strands of metaphorical rope, and hope they all can be pulled together logically so that we can come to a sound conclusion about whatever 'open question' that is being looked at.

Arecibo radio telescope gantry. There's a huge dish beneath.

This last week, the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico had an 'accident' and some large struts have broken through falling down into the dish system and damaging the functionality of the whole thing. 

Arecibo has for some time been owned and run by the Chinese government. Put it this way, a shady Chinese company is the largest investor in the place.

Doesn't work now, though; the thing has broken down catastrophically.

...So, short of saying that a shiny metal object flew into the struts causing some damage, well, it was just an accident.

Now, this fellow Tom DeLonge is around and about the place, giving out that he 'may' be a designated point man for some kind of Washington/Pentagon 'Disclosure' about to take place. In fact, his valuable work on 'Disclosure' has already taken place since he was primarily the sole individual most responsible for getting the Navy to begin talking officially about the 'Tic-Tacs.' Tom is (also) the front man for the pop music group Blink 182.

My friend Bill and I were discussing something about why it takes so long to 'extract' information from those who really genuinely know it.

I used to ask the same question myself and now have reached the peculiar point of being one of those who don't want to give it out - even though I was among the most loud urging, privately, that at least certain limited things should be made public.

Bzzz, bzzz.

Okay, the thing is this, see - not the US government, in fact not any government, is the 'lead manager' here on this matter. Yes there is an 'arrangement' going on. No we don't have key decision power.

This is such a huge thing that I have taken to using the 'religious framework,' particularly in the sociological sense of it, to look at things through. Take the situation with Steven Spielberg's 'Close Encounters' visuals - these are not too dissimilar to the OT narrative of something 'coming down onto a mountain top.' 

You talk to any Rabbi and they will tell you this is the reason the Jews follow Moses, and obey the 'Law' as handed down on top of the mountain (wherever it really was); basically, because everyone saw it, and it was clear and obvious to everyone there at the time.

But see, no it wasn't and no they actually didn't follow Moses!! Despite, despite, this huge momentous thing, being 'seen' whatever it was, the people there still didn't do what they were advised - that is why Moses smashed the tablets, pulverized the so-called 'Golden Calf' and then made them all drink water laced with the smashed up gold. Aaron scolded them all sarcastically, saying: This is your god!! 

And then God dragged them all around the desert for 'forty years' whatever, and Moses disappeared; 'his burial place not known to this day...'

Devadasi-style, dancer...

Moving, indeed leaping across the globe, I shall discuss what appears like an entirely different situation, namely the Devadasi (temple dancers) in India.

The Devadasi system has the reputation of something like 'temple prostitution' and was banned by the British rulers in the 1930's, restored to some extent by male stage dancers, and then banned completely again by the Indian government in 1988.

There are still 'Devadasi' style dances performed but these are stage acts and theatrical performances. In no way is there the suggestion that female classical dancers of India are involved in some kind of 'temple sex cult.'

They were never that in the first place. What happened through centuries, is that Brahmin caste priests, who exerted enormous power, turned the real thing into a simulacrum, that they indeed used for prostitution procuring.

Devadasi is something from so far back in time you cannot place an origination date on it: it is part of the Shiv Puranas ('God' Texts), and only young women of noble estate are permitted to enter the arrangement, and then, they only 'danced' for kings and lords. Ostensibly, they literally were inside these temples consorting with 'gods.'

Now, my friends, I put it to you, where did the Jewish massage girls at the Last Supper get the Jatamansi oil from if not India... And if Mary was a young 'parthenoia' what was she, again?

If I said this to two billion Christians on the planet, a full virtual 100% of them would say to me - as one commentator recently responded, regarding my statement that Kamala Harris is a Cochin Jew from India, not an 'Indian' Indian from India - like this: he responded 'BS.'

So, you tell me - why would anyone with any actual hands-on material experience and knowledge of any of this sort of highly highly secretive thing (we're talking about aliens and UFO's, not K. Harris!), tell anyone else? EVEN IF THEY TAKE PEOPLE TO WHERE THEY ARE PARKED!!!! ...You'll get the same old standard Hebrews-In-The-Desert 'argh, BS.' 

Roxanne Emery - sings the song down below; she changes her
hair style and color a lot...

There's a public interest? A public 'right to know?' What one is that?

Would that be the one already exercised by God on Mount Sinai a long time ago?

And you think human beings are different, now? ...Why?

Brahmins, who don't do any work, living in the middle of the highest employed, most literate, female population on Earth (and generally despised by them and booted out of Southern India) suddenly have enough money to send themselves to Madras to suddenly, become a political elite functionary, and then, go to New York to live and to stay and to study and become doctors and lawyers.

You know, this is a lot like the story of the Haka caste (lowest poorest Chinese) orphan, suddenly going to the Inns of Court, London, studying for a mere two years, living in London (and, perforce 'eating his dinners...'), buying the legal attire necessary, and coming back to become Dictator-For-Life of a brand new country he invented, by name of 'Singapore.' That was because he was a hard-working kid, right? And he was stupendously intelligent; must have been - an intellectual!! Left this amazing legacy of art and poetry and music and literature and writings of his own, perhaps some engineering...

??? Right?

People always claim to want 'proof.' I've said this continuously for about twenty years now: anywhere, anytime. Bring the cash. Or else provide a damn good reason that makes sense, and not just to me. I'll do what I can to slip as much as I can out, in as timely a way as possible. As humanly, possible. Under the watchful eyes of T'Pol!

Guys - Help!

Everyone. Honestly. I need help and this is absolutely serious. 

Okay relax, no one's dead or anything like that!

No, it's not that kind of thing.

I cannot see any vision in the current climate, of what it is that the human race really wants.

I don't see the 'images,' the motifs, as it were.

...??

Frankly, the cars leave a lot to be desired - they're all just iterations of things done before and done better, before.

You wanna pay how much for a Bugatti? Seriously?

It's ridiculous.

If the Germans keep on insisting on drifting Bentleys even further into the 'Euro-Continental' zone, they will just be another Merc.

Where's the meat and potatoes in the current 'vision?'

Give yourself a stack of imaginary cash, right - and then tell me what you will do with it to entertain yourself...

I can see people getting edgy and testy - Tomi Lahren's recent outburst is a big sign of it.

How would Tomi handle say, Charlie Chaplin in RL, if she met him? What makes her smarter or more talented or 'better' than a real legendary genius in the public space?

When I observe what is going on, it doesn't seem to me as though people are not growing up, it's that they have no vision of what it is (IE 'being all grown up) at the deep end... 

And d'you know why? I'll tell you why (one of the potentially many 'why's' of it; you may have others) - they think they are being serious; I'm sure T. Lahren thought she was being very serious, telling us all about how hard she works and how independent she is and everything... But when push comes to shove, trust me, these kids all don't want to confront reality at the deep end, where you are going to lose yourself in the depths of someone who can dive deeply as a mature adult.

Hot, strong, and Southern...

On the one hand, it would be easy for me to say 'oh we are losing that last seriously adult generation, the Karl Lagerfelds, and probably soon enough, the Serge Lutens's as well.' 

If I said it it wouldn't be true, because people always say this - generation after generation!

It isn't true.

No. We just need to see that vision ahead.

There's a great comment around somewhere from one of the bartenders at Duke's in St James - who is talking about their version of Ian Fleming's 'Vesper Martini.' In fact I'm not sure who actually said it first but two guys repeat the thing - Salvatore Calabrese at Dukes does, and so does Giuseppe Gonzalez, one-time New York cocktail king:

'It won't kill you; but it will hurt you!'

See a lot of these modern-day wannabe 'adults' will just end up killing you and themselves. They actually don't understand the meaning of life. LOL

Who does - you say?

You do, so I want some answers here.

Give.

And? Sharon? Your point of view is what, now...?

I can't finish what I'm doing without knowing. Are human beings just some fancy exercise of the mysterious Universe - who can never be happy no matter what?

Okay, here's the thing - people, as I read them all, do not want it all - they want to have some hints of what's out there beyond the edge. And right now, they don't see it, they aren't getting it, so there's nothing in their minds for them to reach out towards. And that's the problem.

Hmn. Actually, that all just has helped me a bit but I still want to hear what you think.

'Fan Fiction' Editors

Nowadays anyone with a small box thingy and a commercial drone can destroy a whole warehouse beside a port somewhere... ...quite easily.

Well, really - they can destroy the whole of Beijing come to think about it.

The problem is how to shuffle the digital traffic and where to 'tunnel' it from through all the main server networks - so you can conceal where the kids were who controlled the thing.

You can't shoot it down - you won't even see it, it'll be that fast.

Now if you go back to what I have been saying for a long while now, if someone had such vastly superior 'toys' that they could wreak absolute mayhem over the whole entire world - basically bring all the governments of the world to their knees in a few days, would they do it, why would they do it, what would they achieve and what would be the 'end game' of this?

The real thing. No 'rogue' schemes allowed here!

People with that far ahead stuff, are not going to be interested in just 'enslaving' you - they are going to want to literally be able to get you to think the way they want, and that is only if they cared about you enough to preserve your life rather than end it.

I think the whole Universe of intelligent species is interested in 'making connection.'

Look at Tomi Lahren last week - she went beserk at the men around the place that she had been coming into contact with. And there's been a huge reaction against what she said, and the way she said it too, no doubt. 

But then again, let's face some facts here too - people are in a hurry; in a hurry to prove themselves to themselves, in a hurry to get rich, in a hurry to be or to remain successful, in a hurry to meet some romantic partner on their own terms, in a hurry to avoid a peak of anxiety, in a hurry you know, to 'get there.' Wherever that is meant to be.

No hurry here.

You can't simply say to Tomi Lahren 'hey, calm down.' And that's because she's in a hurry, and in any case, she's also partly quite right - because the males around her are in a hurry of their own too.

A studio editor with some spare time and a small computer thingy can put together a 'fan fiction' film short that makes more sense than ninety per cent of the big budget Hollywood studio features coming out these days... Why is that? Because he's not in a hurry and he cares about the angles, the facial expressions, the light, the cut, the transitions, even the basic story-line - whereas the studios are in a hurry.
