There is a popular mandela effect, is the movie called "Interview with THE Vampire" or "Interview with A Vampire"? Personally, I remember it "Interview with a Vampire" but it's not called that now. Sting was inspired by the book, by Anne Rice, and made a song called "Moon Over Bourbon Street", it is featured on his solo debut album "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" in 1985. I inherited a copy of that album One of Sting's eyes is covered by shadow on the cover. On the back of the album, it is written: >Moon Over Bourbon Street was inspired by 'Interview With A Vampire' by Anne Rice There is another song on this record called "CHILDREN'S CRUSADE" (the other name of Slaughterhouse-five) Before this album, Sting worked on the album "Synchronicity" in 1983, the most popular song from this album, and possibly his biggest hit, is "Every Breath You Take". >To escape the public eye, Sting retreated to the Caribbean. He started writing the song at Ian Fleming's writing desk on the Goldeneye estate in Oracabessa, Jamaica. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Every_Breath_You_Take >In spite of its obvious proximity to Golden Clouds, Fleming claimed a number of origins for the name Goldeneye, including Carson McCullers's 1941 novel, Reflections in a Golden Eye and Operation Goldeneye, a Second World War era contingency plan Fleming had developed in case of a Nazi invasion of Gibraltar through Spain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldeneye_(estate) >Operation Goldeneye was an Allied stay-behind plan during the Second World War to monitor Spain after a possible alliance between Francisco Franco and the Axis powers, and to undertake sabotage operations. The plan was formed by Commander Ian Fleming of the Naval Intelligence Division (NID). No German takeover of Spain took place, nor an invasion of Gibraltar, and the plan was shelved in 1943. Fleming later used the name for his Jamaican home where he wrote the James Bond stories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Goldeneye >Anne Rice >Born in New Orleans, Rice spent much of her early life in the city before moving to Texas, and later to San Francisco. She was raised in an observant Catholic family but became an agnostic as a young adult. She began her professional writing career with the publication of Interview with the Vampire (1976), while living in California, and began writing sequels to the novel in the 1980s. In the mid-2000s, following a publicized return to Catholicism, she published the novels Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, fictionalized accounts of certain incidents in the life of Jesus. Several years later she distanced from organized Christianity, while remaining devoted to Jesus. She later considered herself a secular humanist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Rice

Magonia is the name of a legendary sky realm where weather magicians were believed to come from. Most of what we know about the lore comes from Archbishop Abogard of Lyon. Medieval farmers would pay tribute to allies of Magonians, known as tempestarii, for good weather. https://www.jasoncolavito.com/agobard-on-magonia.html >His essay on "On Hail and Thunder," written in 815, is the oldest surviving description of the popular belief in weather magicians who lived in a sky world called Magonia and used flying ships to throw hail to the ground below. Jacques F. Vallée is an astronomer, computer scientist, and ufologist. He wrote "Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore, and Parallel Worlds". It argued there are striking similarities between tales of mystical entities like fairies and contemporary reports of UFOs and alien visitations. https://historicowl.com/item/passport-to-magonia-on-ufos-folklore-and-parallel-worlds-book-by-jacques-vallee-046KQZs4i7U He later published "The Invisible College" in 1975.

The Rosicrucian movement was originally known as The Invisible College. https://annmccoy.com/the-invisible-college/ >Frances Yates in her book The Rosicrucian Enlightenment identifies this as the “Invisible College of the Rosy Cross.” Jacques Vallée's middle name is Fabrice. Fabrice is derived from a Latin word for "craftsman". https://www.behindthename.com/name/fabrice >French form of the Roman family name Fabricius, which was derived from Latin faber meaning "craftsman". Vallée means "valley". https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=vallee >topographic name for someone who lived in a valley from Old French valee ‘valley’ (from Latin vallis).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcjHXPZTgB4 This video ties together many of the things brought up in previous threads. The beginning mentions the occult origins of Vlad the Impaler and how he inspired the Dracula myths, then it goes on to mention the Holy Roman Empire and the formation of secret societies like the Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar. It claims that the aristocracies of the Holy Roman Empire formed secret societies to protect themselves and their bloodlines from an increasingly powerful Vatican. Francis Ford Coppola directed Dracula (which specifically opens with the Vlad the impaler origin) and his most recent film was Megalopolis about how Rome never went anywhere. He also did Youth Without Youth, and Peggy Sue Got Married. The former featuring a Maltese cross and the line "I'm 88 years old, really", and the latter featuring Freemasons and a trip to a lodge.

>>328 Dante's Inferno is part of a three-part narrative poem now called "The Divine Comedy". It was written by Dante Alighieri, who published it around 1321 as "Comedìa". In the story, Dante travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven with the help of the Roman poet Virgil and his childhood crush Beatrice. It is divided into three parts: 1. Inferno - the journey through the nine circles of Hell 2. Purgatorio - the ascent of the seven terraces of Mount Purgatory to purify the soul 3. Paradiso - the journey through the nine celestial spheres of Heaven Dante Alighieri is often depicted wearing a laurel crown. "Dante" is short for Durante, or "enduring". https://www.behindthename.com/name/durante >Italian form of the Late Latin name Durans, which meant "enduring". Like Shakespeare, Alighieri is a spear-related name. We discussed nobles like Alice in the 3rd thread. https://www.name-doctor.com/meaning/alighieri >This name is of Germanic name origin, composed of two elements: >“*aþalaz” (noble, nobleman, aristocratic, eminent, glorious, excellent) plus “*gaizaz” (a spear, pike, javelin). >In turn, the name means “experienced in the use of the spear, noble warrior.” Dante encourages the reader to decipher the hidden meanings of the story. https://www.museocasadidante.it/en/movement-of-angels/ >Twice in the Divine Comedy Dante urges readers to pay special attention to what is about to happen, in two tercets which interrupt the flow of the story; Inferno, IX, 61-63: >O you possessed of sturdy intellects, >Observe the teaching that is hidden here >Beneath the veil of verses so obscure. Purgatorio VIII, ll. 19-21: >Here, reader, let your eyes look sharp at truth, >For now the veil has grown so very thin – >It is not difficult to pass within. Dante used numerology throughout The Divine Comedy. For example, each part consists of 33 cantos. https://cpenneagram.com/enneagram-posts-articles/dante-inferno-florence >Here are some of the “Threes” we find in the structure of Dante’s Comedy: >There are 3 canticles/parts (Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise) with >33 cantos each (+ 1 in Inferno) arranged in tercets (verses of 3 lines each in terza rima) >There are many references to the Trinity >The poem maps a 3-step path or process of transformation and 3 states of consciousness

AEon Flux is a movie I remember from 2005 that stuck with me even though I only saw it once. What I remembered is that it is about a dystopian city in the future after a biological plague wipes out most of humanity. The city is run by a family (Goodchild) who developed a cure to the plague. People are reincarnated or recycled within the city. A model of the city is shown under a glass dome in the intro Lots of one eye symbolism throughout. The main character catches a fly in her eye like a Venus Flytrap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86on_Flux_(film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0XQB6j5gpg It always reminded me of Mirror's Edge, a game with a similar theme about Runners who have to deliver secret messages in a similar environment.

I revisited the plot to Alan Wake 1 to get refreshed, and it is on theme with our other findings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Wake#Plot >Alan is a writer with writers block, his wife (Alice) brought him to a lake town called Bright Falls to help his writing, but reveals it was also to see a local psychiatrist >Alan becomes angry, his wife is pulled into the lake by a dark presence and Alan wakes up in an alternate/dream world. Things that he's writing seem to become real. >He keeps hallucinating an old woman named (B)arbara (J)agger >A psychiatrist in a lodge captures him. Says he's having a psychotic break after his wife's death >Alan still tries to save his wife from the dark presence in the lake. >Alan learns that another writer named Thomas (twin) Zane had similar experiences to himself, his wife was (B)arbara (J)agger >Alan proceeds to a lighthouse where he gets a light creating device that can destroy the dark presence >He takes this device back to where Alice was pulled in and he dives in >Alan frees Alice, but strands himself in "The Dark Place" in the process >Alan wakes up in a surreal version of Bright Falls and realizes he's still trapped in the dark place. Zane directs Alan to follow a signal through a cell phone in order to "focus" and guide himself through the Dark Place. >While navigating the realm's shifting, dreamlike landscape, Alan encounters television screens depicting a more maniacal version of himself >Zane reveals that Alan himself is the cause of his current circumstance; the maniacal version of Alan on the television screens is an irrational aspect of Alan consumed by fear, his frenzied thoughts affecting the subjective world of the Dark Place. Alan encounters a monstrous conglomeration of televisions, through which the irrational Alan tries to kill him. Alan defeats the televisions, but wakes up back in the cabin again, and realises he is still trapped. >Still trapped in the Dark Place, Alan regains consciousness and accepts that he is the cause of the insanity he is experiencing, regaining his memories in the process. >Zane tells him that the "irrational Alan" is still inside the cabin, controlling the Dark Place; the "rational Alan" must regain control in order to have any chance of escaping the Dark Place. Zane directs Alan to a lighthouse across the increasingly surreal landscape of the Dark Place >Alan passes through the lighthouse and reaches the cabin. The irrational Alan is in a paranoid state on the cabin floor. When Alan touches him, the two are made whole again.

But his ambition set the stage for a dramatic turn of events. He was soon assassinated by the Senate at the Theatre of Pompey on March 15th, 44 BC. https://www.shakespearesglobe.com/discover/blogs-and-features/2020/03/15/beware-the-ides-of-march/ >Because the curia was under construction, the Senate met at the Theatre of Pompey, in an arcade Plutarch calls ‘Pompey’s porch’ Caesar wasn't the only famous politician to hang up the hat at a theatre.
