From the last thread after it was archived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_to_Witch_Mountain >Release date is March 11, (3/11) in Egypt and then 2 days later in America >A reboot of the Witch Mountain franchise, the plot revolves around (J)ack (B)runo, a Las Vegas taxi driver, who must get extraterrestrials Seth and Sara to their spaceship on Witch Mountain before an assassin and several government agents can catch up to them. Both their names reference royalty. >Seth is a boy's name of Hebrew origin. It means "appointed" or "placed". Seth was the name of Adam and Eve's third son in the Hebrew bible. It's also a name for the Egyptian god Set, or Seth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(deity) >Sara is a girl's name of Hebrew origin that means "princess."

Philip means "horse lover". https://www.etymonline.com/word/Philip >from Greek Philippos "fond of horses," from philos "beloved, loving" (see philo-) + hippos "horse" "VALIS" was written by Philip K. Dick. It's about a character named Horselover Fat ("dick" is German for "fat"). VALIS stands for Vast Active Living Intelligence System, an intelligence from a higher reality. Horselover has a twin or alternate personality named Thomas who lives/lived in the Roman Empire during the early Christian era. He repeats throughout the book that "The Empire never ended." https://philipdick.com/pkd-and-me/The-VALIS-Trilogy >When a beam of pink light begins giving a schizophrenic man named Horselover Fat (who just might also be known as Philip K. Dick) visions of an alternate Earth where the Roman Empire still reigns, he must decide whether he is crazy, or whether a godlike entity is showing him the true nature of the world. Decoding Philip K. Dick's VALIS: A Mind-Bending Journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbStI5CH-gk "VALIS" is referenced in Lost (2004) in season 4, episode 4 "Eggtown". https://lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/VALIS >John Locke selected VALIS for Ben to read from his own bookshelf. >Locke gave it to him while he was imprisoned in the basement of his own house in the Barracks. >Upon receiving the book, Ben said flatly, "I've already read it." >Locke responded sarcastically, "You might catch something you missed the second time around." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFrkBINLTIM In the last thread, I mentioned how owls can represent predators that can see in the dark. VALIS was published in 1981. Philip K. Dick died the following year while working on "The Owl in Daylight".

Arguing that time is not a linear objective flow, but a subjective experience dependent on consciousness and perception, introducing the idea of Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum where different realities converge and interact creating a sense of distortion and confusion." Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum was invented by Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse-five) in his 1959 novel The Sirens of Titan. >recalling thread #4 post no. 91 >The protagonist in 2001: A Space Odyssey is David Bowman.

Timothy Archer was based on Episcopal bishop James Albert Pike. He was intensely involved in the liberal activism of the 1960s. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/philip-k-dick-dead-sea-scrolls >James Pike, the Episcopal bishop of San Francisco (the Timothy Archer of the novel), and Philip K.

He was also an ardent Christian Zionist We've discussed the secret war between Freemasonry and The Catholic Church. James Pike was apparently opposed to JFK's presidency, due to his Catholic background. https://archive.is/xPQ3 >Kennedy had already won the Democratic nomination and, as a Catholic, faced a phalanx of religious groups working publicly against his election. >Among them was Protestants and Other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, which was opposed in principle to any Catholic as president. >An Episcopal bishop, James A. Pike of California, was its best-known spokesman. The Catholic Herald adds some more interesting details. https://thecatholicherald.com/heretic-of-the-week-james-pike/ >Pike lost his faith studying under the Jesuits at the University of Santa Clara in the early 1930s. >he served in naval intelligence during the Second World War. >He added to his crusades gay rights, abortion and women’s ordination, while denying the Virgin Birth, hell, the Trinity, the Resurrection, and so on. >His son committed suicide (and Pike attempted to reach him via a televised séance).

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

Dick had a twin sister named Jane Charlotte. They were born six weeks prematurely, and she died after six weeks. https://strandmag.com/the-death-driven-mind-of-philip-k-dick/ >Born in Chicago in 1928, his twin sister Jane Charlotte Dick died when Dick was only a few weeks old. https://reactormag.com/within-you-without-you-philip-and-jane-dick/ >Other prominent artists who survived their twins include artist Diego Rivera, playwright Thorton Wilder, and musicians Elvis and Liberace. The concept of twins is a recurring theme in PKD's works. https://is.muni.cz/th/ocac5/453269_BA_THESIS_PKD.pdf >Another concept that is crucial for an understanding of the essence of Philip K. Dick’s bond with Jane is the theme of twins and twin-like characters. >This specific manifestation of Dick’s fixation on dualities and dichotomies plays a significant part in a number of his short stories and novels. >Sutin remarks that “the obsession, found in twins, with dualities – as complementary and conflicting at once – has been termed twinning by Dr. George Engel The Gospel of Thomas is written from the perspective of Jesus' twin or lookalike Judas Thomas. It inspired aspects of "VALIS". Not to be confused with the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. https://digitalcommons.coastal.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1052&context=philosophy-religious-studies >In VALIS, Horselover Fat speaks about the importance of the Nag Hammadi texts. >In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, also in the Nag Hammadi Library, Jesus says to Thomas that when he comes to know who he really is he will discover that he is identical to Christ, that he and Jesus are identical twins. >The readers of these gospels and VALIS are apparently meant to understand themselves as the twins of Jesus, Thomas, and Dick.

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.

The motto of The Globe Theatre was that the world is a stage. https://libguides.collegeofsanmateo.edu/Shakespeare/TheGlobeTheatre >The Globe had a Latin motto: Totus mundus agit histrionem. >It was a translation of one of Shakespeare's most famous lines: ‘All the world's a stage’ >The line can also be translated as ‘all the world plays the actor.’” It's a reference to the famous line from "As You Like It". The plot features characters who use disguises. https://www.rsc.org.uk/shakespeare-learning-zone/as-you-like-it They Live (1988) is about aliens disguised as people. In "As You Like It", Celia disguises herself as a shepherdess called Aliena. Celia is a nickname for Cecilia, which means "blind", "hidden" or "one-eyed". In Monsters, Inc., Celia Mae has one eye. https://www.etymonline.com/word/Cecil >from neuter of caecus "blind, hidden," >from Proto-Italic *kaiko-, from PIE *kehi-ko- "one-eyed," cognate with Old Irish ca'ech "one-eyed," Celia is also thought to be derived from Caelius, a heavenly Roman gens. https://www.behindthename.com/name/caelius >Roman family name that was derived from Latin caelum meaning "heaven".

>>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
[Expand Post]>There are three sections of the Inferno and Purgatory Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series is known for "The Da Vinci Code". The fourth book, "Inferno", features a villain who is obsessed with Dante Alighieri. It's about a conspiracy to wipe out half of the world's population with a bioweapon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH2BD49sEZI

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. Looking into it now, you play as Faith Connors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror%27s_Edge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N1TJP1cxmo >>333 Not sure if it's worth mentioning but the only reason I know this is because I was really drawn to the Divine Comedy in 2021 after seeing The House That Jack Built. >Utilizing Dante's Inferno as a metatext, the film is structured as a series of flashback vignettes relayed by Jack to the Roman poet Virgil, during which Jack attempts to make an argument for his crimes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_That_Jack_Built_(2018_film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6DuLPGZIoQ

>>338 Nice catch with Æon Flux. Never noticed the dome scene. Flies have compound eyes which are composed of thousands of components called ommatidia. They give flies nearly 360-degree vision. https://www.nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/2019-photomicrography-competition/housefly-compound-eye-pattern >A fly’s eyes are immobile, but their position and spherical shape give the fly an almost 360-degree view of its surroundings. The (almost) all-seeing eyes of flies make them difficult to swat. >The main character catches a fly in her eye like a Venus Flytrap. Venus is Lucifer. He's a morning person. >Lucifer, in classical mythology, the morning star (i.e., the planet Venus at dawn); >personified as a male figure bearing a torch, Lucifer had almost no legend, but in poetry he was often herald of the dawn. Æon Flux (2005) takes place in 2415. 24 * 15 = 360.

I tried to think of another game like Mouthwashing, Alan Wake 2 came into mind. 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. (2 into 1) The very first scene in Alan Wake 2 shows a light over his third eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXfOfemYpc

>>323 "Where The World Turns Wild" is about Juniper Greene and her brother Bear. ReWilders release a deadly disease to protect the environment, confining Juniper and Bear to the walls of the city. J&B set out for their childhood home of Ennerdale, or "inner valley". https://bookmurmuration.wordpress.com/2020/02/03/where-the-world-turns-wild/ >Where The World Turns Wild asks one of the deepest and darkest questions of our time: >is sacrificing humans the only way to save the world? Junipers are evergreen conifers known for their hardiness. The word comes from the Latin juniperus, which seems to mean "youth producing". https://www.junipermedspa.com/journal/the-meaning-behind-juniper >In Latin, juniperus is combination of the word junio, which means young, and parere, to produce, hence youth producing In 2001: A Space Odyssey, David Bowman becomes an immortal Starchild. Juniper was possibly used in making bows. https://www.etymonline.com/word/arc >De Vaan sees an Italo-Germanic word for "bow" which can be connected with Balto-Slavic and Greek words for "willow" and "juniper" "under the well-founded assumption that the flexible twigs of juniper or willow were used as bows." Black Mirror Season 3, episode 4 is called "San Junipero". It's about youthful immortality within a virtual world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud8VNfi1hlo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CZAmbA4SfU San Junipero means "Saint Junipero".

>>331 Rock. Paper. Caesar. The Roman name comes from Latin caedere, "to cut". https://www.etymonline.com/word/caesarian >Thus also legend traces his cognomen to Latin caesus, past participle of caedere "to cut" The Caesarian-section operation is named after the Lex Caesara, a Roman law allowing the procedure on dead mothers. Pliny the Elder claimed that the Caesars came from an ancestor born Caesarian. https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2016/12/cesarean-caesarean.html >In passing, he notes that the first of the Caesars “was so named, from his having been cut from his mother’s womb (a caeso matris utero).” After crossing the Rubicon, Julius Caesar became the cut that separated republic from empire. 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. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by actor John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre on April 14th, 1965. Just months earlier, Booth had performed in Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar". https://blogs.getty.edu/iris/beware-the-ides-of-march/ >in 1864, John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln’s assassin, acted with his brothers in a performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in New York. That's not the only coincidence. Booth's father was named after Marcus Junius Brutus, who famously betrayed Julius Caesar. https://www.grunge.com/140220/the-most-bizarre-things-no-one-ever-told-you-about-the-lincoln-assassination/ >according to the Chicago Tribune, Junius Brutus Booth shared two-thirds of his name with Marcus Junius Brutus, a.k.a. the dude who helped stab Julius Caesar to death. In Dante's Inferno, those who betrayed JC are in the ninth circle of Hell, eternally eaten by Lucifer. https://www.thecollector.com/lucifer-dante-inferno/ >Lucifer also has three faces and three mouths, each one slowly gnawing on Brutus, Cassius, and Judas. >To Dante, these three men were the ultimate betrayers of humanity, as they caused the fall of Caesar and the fall of Christ. What a tragedy.
