Re: Beatles Theology « Result #1 Today at 3:06pm »
Well there-in lies the problem, eh? Lennon renounced his messiahship, and said he just believed in "me". And then you have Faul, who told an audience, "I'll see you when the earth stands still", and spoke of a hope of deliverance, and "sticking around" for a better time that was coming up, now saying that he hopes that on the day that he dies he'd like jokes to be told.
So both messianic candidates seem to have copped out.
Just us. We ourselves, left to what? (Other than telling jokes when Faul dies?)
The options seem a bit dreary either way. According to "Saul" (John Smallman), we're about to be born into the real reality, leaving the old, false reality behind. (That would be this one, the one that we're in now.)
Not so bad, I guess, except for the having to be born into the new reality part, which sounds like it might be a bit... traumatic?
On the other hand, we may find ourselves born on the planet of the squids, if the Zeta greys at Zeta Talk are right. They say that, left to our own devices, we would pollute the earth irrevocably within the next 100 years, so it's probably just as well that Planet X is going to come swinging by within the next year or two or so, to shake up the earth, and wipe us all out, except maybe for those who are going to be saved by them during the chaos, or those who manage to get by eating worms and swamp lettuce after all the rocking and rolling and earth-rotation-stopping that will be going on. Fortunately, for most of us who will have died, we will find ourselves re-incarnated on the 'Planet of the Squids'! But hey, it's not so bad, they (the Zetas) say. (Yeah, like they would know!)
Hey, thanks guys. I mean, talk about "Don't Let Me Down", this is the best you could do?! Promise us Nirvana, and then leave us on the planet of the squids?
Yeah, I'm disappointed. Unless, of course, there's more to this picture, which of course, there is!

Here's the truth. God help us from these dim wits.
Christiane Kubrick had 42 wonderful years with her husband. But in the decade since his death, she has been beset by tragedy. For the first time, she talks about losing one daughter to cancer, another to Scientology – and why her uncle made films for Goebbels
It's Thursday evening and the tiny figure of Christiane Kubrick takes to the stage at Somerset House on the Strand in London, to introduce an open-air screening of her late husband's film Paths of Glory. She reads from a prepared script: "Important events in life feel like they happened yesterday. But it was 53 years ago that Stanley saw me on German television and hired me . . ."
Stanley Kubrick gave Christiane the part of a bar singer. They married and barely left one another's side for the next 42 years. They raised three children: Anya and Vivian, plus Katharina, her daughter from an earlier marriage. Now, when she isn't running her art school from their Hertfordshire manor house, Childwickbury, Christiane is a kind of travelling protector of Stanley's legacy, trying to imagine how he might have wanted things done.
She continues reading: "I thought Stanley was extraordinary, and by some miracle he thought the same thing of me. As a result, my life has been a very happy one, very wonderful in every respect." Which is no longer quite so true. After four decades inside Childwickbury – where the Kubricks created a kind of blissful, busy mix of film production and family life – she has fallen victim to a series of tragedies. The one involving her daughter Vivian has been a family secret, but now, on the night of the Paths of Glory screening, she says she wants to talk about it.
I've known Christiane for eight years, on and off. I dealt with her while making my documentary, Stanley Kubrick's Boxes, which involved me looking through the 1,000 boxes he left behind. She was always welcoming and charming, even though, as she said, she was struggling with the "abyss" his death in 1999 created. One time, she and Anya spotted me riffling through one of his old notepads in the stable block. She said: "I get very upset at seeing some of his old things. The paper is so dusty and old and yellow. They look so sad. The person is so very dead."
There were some things I always felt nervous asking her about, like anything to do with her uncle Veit Harlan, but tonight over dinner – Paths of Glory making her nostalgic for the early days, I think – she brings the subject up herself. "Stanley and I came from such different, such grotesquely opposite backgrounds," she says. "I think it gave us an extra something. I had an appalling, catastrophic background for someone like Stanley." She pauses. "For me, my uncle was great fun. He and my father planned to join the circus. They were acrobats. They threw me around. It was a complete clown's world. Nobody can imagine that you can know someone who was so guilty so intimately – and yet not know."
It turned out that when Harlan wasn't clowning around with Christiane, he was writing and directing propaganda films for Goebbels. The most notorious was a film called Jud Süss, in which venal, immoral Jews take over and ruin a German city, stealing riches, defiling Aryan women, etc. The film was shown to SS units before they were sent out to attack Jews. Harlan was tried twice for war crimes, and exonerated, proving that Goebbels had interfered with Jud Süss, forcing him to re-edit and inject more antisemitism.
"Where my uncle was an enormous fool, as many talented people are, was that he mistook his gift for intelligence," says Christiane. "He was a great big famous film person. He looked better and talked better and had enormous charm. So he thought he was also far more intelligent than Mr Goebbels. Goebbels was 10,000 times smarter than my uncle." She pauses. "Film people, actors, are puppets. We are silly. We are silly folk."
Christiane says her uncle's story reinforced for Stanley and her their great principle in life: always be suspicious of people who have, or crave, power. "All Stanley's life he said, 'Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous.' We both were very nervous on journeys when you have to show your passport. He did not like that moment. We always had to go through separate entrances, he with [our] two American daughters upstairs, and me with my German daughter downstairs. The foreigners downstairs! He'd be looking for us nervously. Would he ever get us back?"
Christiane laughs; of course they were always reunited. They spent a lifetime together inside Childwickbury, where Stanley created his self-governing mini-studio and the children went to progressive schools that eschewed hierarchies. And, in fact, her German daughter Katharina remains at Childwickbury to this day, painting and making jewellery and helping her mother run her art school. But the two daughters by Stanley are gone. I had no idea when I met Anya, their middle daughter, in 2007 that she was sick. "It was one of her great gifts to her son she never, as much as possible, allowed him to feel any of her horrible illness," Christiane says. "She died over 10 years. With all the things you have when you have cancer. The hair loss. The lot. She had a terrible time."
When I met her, would she have been in pain? "Yes," says Christiane. "She had Hodgkin's disease. She had a great deal of pain. She was very much like Stanley in many respects. She looked like him and had many of his characteristics. She was intelligent and a nice person." Anya died in July 2009, aged 50.
I never met their youngest daughter, Vivian. There was mention of her being in Los Angeles, but I sensed I shouldn't ask about it because something had happened. Vivian had once been a big presence in the family. When she was 17, she directed a brilliant documentary, The Making of The Shining. When she was 24, she composed the score for Full Metal Jacket. She shot 18 hours of behind-the-scenes footage for that film too, but it was never edited. You catch glimpses of her in the rushes I once got to watch: beautiful, effervescent, headstrong. At one point, Stanley turns her camera on to her and she tells him if he doesn't turn it off she'll take her top off to embarrass everyone. He quickly turns it off.
"She is a fabulous person," says Christiane. "Beautiful, very witty, enormously talented in all sorts of directions, very musical, a great mimic, she could play instruments easily, she could sing, she could dance, she could act, there wasn't anything she couldn't do. We had fights. But she was hugely loved. And now I've lost her." She pauses. "You know that? I used to keep all this a secret as I was hoping it would go away. But now I've lost hope. So. She's gone."
It all began, she says, while Stanley was editing Eyes Wide Shut, which starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Stanley asked Vivian to compose the score, but at the last moment she said she wouldn't. Instead, she disappeared into San Francisco and Los Angeles. "They had a huge fight. He was very unhappy. He wrote her a 40-page letter trying to win her back. He begged her endlessly to come home from California. I'm glad he didn't live to see what happened."
On the day of Stanley's funeral, Christiane says, Vivian arrived with a woman nobody recognised. "She just sat in Vivian's room. Never said hello to us. Just sat. We were all spooked. Who was this person? Turns out she was a Scientology something-or-other, don't know what."
"Did Vivian give a reason why she joined the Scientologists?" I ask.
"It's her new religion," Christiane shrugs. "It had absolutely nothing to do with Tom Cruise by the way. Absolutely not."
"Maybe it was her way of dealing with her father's death?"
"I think she must have been very upset," Christiane says, "but, again, I wouldn't know. I know nothing. That is the truth. I can't reach her at all. I've had two conversations with her since Stanley died. The last one was eight years ago. She became a Scientologist and didn't want to talk to us any more and didn't see her dying sister, didn't come to her funeral. And these were children that had been joined at the hip."
I tell her that she seems to have handled all her tragedies with remarkable resilience. "I dare say I have, yes," she says. "But I've also been very sad. I was helped by my children. Anya, in particular."
She says that when Stanley was alive, he kept her and their daughters cosseted from stress, from life's legal and financial arrangements, allowing them to float through Childwickbury without worries. But he died long before anyone expected he would, and Christiane has been left with burdens she never anticipated. So she's forever finding herself second-guessing him. Would he have handled the Vivian situation differently? Would he have approved of the way she speaks about him in interviews?
"I am very self-conscious and surrounded by his ghost when I do these things," she says, waving her hand towards the Somerset House stage. In the last year or two, there's been a Royal Festival Hall screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey, complete with live orchestra, a Kubrick season at the Barbican, a mammoth Taschen book Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made, and more. "Would he like that?" she says. "I'm always having these conversations with him as I am not terribly secure. And I try to live like I think he would want me to go on, because of the grandchildren and everything. I'm also, by nature, quite gregarious."
At the end of our dinner I tell her, with some embarrassment, that I find her quite inspiring. She thinks about this for a moment. "I'm very pleased that Stanley liked me," she replies.
When I get home I mention to a friend, a Kubrick buff, that I'd just had dinner with her. "Oddly, I was just thinking about her today," he replies. "A Twilight fan said to me, 'Is there anything more romantic than Edward and Bella?' I immediately thought, 'Christiane Kubrick's protection of her husband's legacy.'"

Is Bubbahotep "Photos multimedia or links that are PID related"?
I have to wonder. I've never seen the movie, so personally it's hard to judge for content, but as for the plot, which I heard about in a discussion over the weekend, it set off bells in my head!
"Bubba Ho-tep is a 2002 black comedy film starring Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley - now a resident in a nursing home. The film version also stars Ossie Davis as Jack, a black man who claims to be John F. Kennedy (explaining that he was patched up after the assassination in Dallas, dyed black, and abandoned by Lyndon Johnson). The film was directed by Don Coscarelli. The title comes from a novella by Joe R. Lansdale which originally appeared in the anthology The King Is Dead: Tales of Elvis Post-Mortem...."
"...While the novella and film revolve around an Ancient Egyptian mummy ... terrorizing a retirement home, Bubba Ho-tep also involves the deeper theme of aging and growing old in a culture that values only the young...."
Plot (spoiler alert) "During the 1970s, when Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) grew tired of the demands of his fame, he switched places with an Elvis impersonator named Sebastian Haff (also played by Campbell). It was Haff who eventually died in 1977, while the real Elvis lived in quiet, happy anonymity and made a living pretending to be himself. After a propane explosion destroyed documentation which was the only proof that he was actually Elvis Presley, he was rendered unable to return to his old lifestyle. (After Haff's well-publicized death in 1977, Elvis does Elvis impersonator shows. LB) A hip injury during a performance causes him to get an infection and slip into a coma. Twenty years later, in an East Texas nursing home as the movie opens, he is contemplating his age, frailty, loss of dignity, impotence....
Elvis's only friend is a black man named Jack (Ossie Davis) who insists he is President John F. Kennedy, claiming to have been dyed black after the assassination attempt, and abandoned in a nursing home....
Most of the film's plot is driven by Elvis' internal monologue, as he reminisces about his life and ponders his condition.
Eventually, Elvis and Jack face off against a re-animated ancient Egyptian mummy that was stolen during a U.S. museum tour and then lost during a severe storm in East Texas when the bus being driven by the thieves veers off the road and into a river near the nursing home. The mummy strangely takes on the garb of a cowboy and is dubbed Bubba Ho-Tep by Elvis who is given a telepathic flashback of the mummy's life and death when he looks into its eyes following its murder of an elderly woman at the home. The slow, plodding mummy is a real and credible threat, as instead of going against young adults who could potentially outrun it, the mummy gives chase to the elderly heroes who lack mobility and need a motorized wheelchair and a walker to get around the grounds.
After hatching an elaborate plan Elvis and Jack manage to destroy the mummy, and the trapped souls of their dead friends appear to be released to their final resting place. In the process of defeating the mummy, Elvis and Jack are themselves mortally wounded. Since much of the film establishes the protagonists as pathetic and even insane, their deaths are portrayed as especially heroic and honorable. As he lies near the river dying, Elvis gets confirmation that his soul is prepared to move on as he looks up into the stars and sees the message "ALL IS WELL" spelled out in Egyptian hieroglyphs..." --------------
Anyone who has spent any time here knows the discussions we've had that there appears to be a connection of the Scarab beetles of Ancient Egypt who "pushed the sun through the sky" and "The Beatles", whose US album covers 'pushed' Solar imagery:
a squared sun
as well as the whole Faul/Paul/Osiris/Horus (and possibly RAMses) links. Iamaphoney has included a sarcophagus image in one of his videos as well.
The fact that the replacement Elvis is named "Sebastian Haff " is interesting. It may hearken back to "I'm not half the man I used to be", with Sebastian hearkening to Johann Sebastian Bach, suggesting a competent composer of music.

(For some reason, the ladies get Elvis.) Whoever put it together managed to not have a single Faul picture in the bunch, save for the album covers. I find that curious.

Psywar interlaces historical development of US governmental and corporate propaganda with interviews of current leading social scientists (including the recently deceased Howard Zinn) to explain the US government as a psychopathic oligarchy committed to its own enrichment at the expense of any consideration for the public good.
The 100-minute film focuses on the inception of US propaganda that resulted from media exposure to Robber Baron corporate labor practices, and government/oligarchic interest for US involvement in World War 1. This history extends into our world of the present with US corporate media dominated by pure propaganda in all key policy areas for money and power. This is obvious because an independent media would expose the Orwellian unlawful US wars, the paper-thin lies propagandized as “reasons” for war that were all known to be lies as they were told, and the unprecedented transfer of trillions of American tax-payer dollars to the oligarchy through rigged-casino economics.

After consciously studying Alchemy and Magick for 10 years it feels like I've graduated. Time to put it in practice in everything I do, say, think and feel.
It's funny that I "coincidentally" wrote about Alchemy in a schoolpaper for the second year of the gymnasium back in 1989, over 20 years ago. I just came across that paper again a few weeks ago, one of the few relics I still have from those days.
Our assignment was to write a paper about a museum. So I chose the Groningen tobacco and seafaring museum. Funny enough they had an 8 week exposition on alchemy with a rebuild alchemylaboratorium.
After a huge struggle with my scanner and photobucket here are the first 4 pages of the report, page 5 are pics of the rebuild lab.
The report is ofcourse written in Dutch, one day I'll translate it. Page 4 is on alchemy, most of you can't read dutch but will get the gist while looking at the text.
I was tempted to use gloves handling these historical documents of my personal past

Massive solar storm to hit Earth in 2012 with 'force of 100m bombs' Yahoo News India Thu, Aug 26 12:50 PM
Melbourne, Aug 26 (ANI): Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid.
Despite its rebuttal, NASA's been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates - 2012.
Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale. The 2012 storm has the potential to be even more disruptive.
"The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into 2013) will be the most violent in 100 years," News.com.au quoted astronomy lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke as saying.
"A bold statement and one taken seriously by those it will affect most, namely airline companies, communications companies and anyone working with modern GPS systems.
"They can even trip circuit breakers and knock out orbiting satellites, as has already been done this year," added Reneke.
No one really knows what effect the 2012-2013 Solar Max will have on today's digital-reliant society.
Dr Richard Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics division, told Reneke the super storm would hit like "a bolt of lightning", causing catastrophic consequences for the world's health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken.
NASA said that a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause "1 to 2 trillion dollars in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to 10 years for complete recovery".
The reason for the concern comes as the sun enters a phase known as Solar Cycle 24.
Most experts agree, although those who put the date of Solar Max in 2012 are getting the most press.
They claim satellites will be aged by 50 years, rendering GPS even more useless than ever, and the blast will have the equivalent energy of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
"We know it is coming but we don't know how bad it is going to be," Fisher told Reneke.
"Systems will just not work. The flares change the magnetic field on the Earth and it's rapid, just like a lightning bolt. That's the solar effect," he added.
The findings are published in the most recent issue of Australasian Science. (ANI)

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Mohegan Sun Arena isn’t listed as a stop on Roger Waters’ upcoming world tour, but the legendary co-founder, bassist and main lyricist of the now-defunct band Pink Floyd is using the venue for rehearsals.
It’s unknown whether Waters will perform a yet-unannounced concert locally.
A source familiar with the arena confirmed that Waters’ tour group has been rehearsing there, preparing for the official kickoff of the “Roger Waters: The Wall Live” tour on Sept. 17 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
It’s unknown whether Waters will perform a yet-unannounced concert locally, but it wouldn’t be unheard of for a prominent artist to stage a performance at a relatively small venue such as Mohegan Sun with its roughly 10,000 seats in advance of a major tour.
Simon & Garfunkel launched their two-month long “Old Friends” reunion tour – their first tour in more than 20 years – with a concert at the arena after rehearsing there in 2003. (It was awesome! )
And AC/DC performed a dress-rehearsal show at the arena after rehearsing there before the band’s 2008 world tour. The band spent 10 days at the arena gearing up for the tour, and that’s why the local show was possible, Rebecca Bonnevier, who works for SMG as general manager of the arena, said last year. Bonnevier had said she felt confident the arena never would have landed the hard rock band otherwise.
But it was because of how impressed AC/DC staff was with arena employees and the reputation the arena built that it was able to land The Dead – a reunited Grateful Dead sans the late Jerry Garcia – for a show during the 19-stop national tour in 2009.
At a meeting of the Luzerne County Convention Center Authority board of directors two weeks ago, Bonnevier told the board that renting the arena for a major artist’s rehearsal netted the arena about as much revenue as an entire season of indoor football.
But officials wouldn’t name the artist that had been rehearsing there, even though Bonnevier had told the board at a public meeting in 2008 that AC/DC would be rehearsing there.
Waters announced the tour commemorating the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s 1979 concept album “The Wall” back in April.
He told The Associated Press that the piece, which was loosely inspired by his life, has taken on new meaning for him since he first performed it 30 years ago.
“Thirty years ago when I was kind of an angry and not a very young lad, I found myself driven into defensive positions because I was scared of stuff, and I’ve come to realize that in that personal story, maybe somewhere hidden in there exists an allegory for more general and universal themes, political and social themes,” he had said. “It’s really for that reason that I decided that I’d try and create a new performance of this piece using a lot of the same things that we did all those years ago.”
Waters had said he won’t just be dusting off the show that Pink Floyd performed decades ago. Part of the excitement surrounding his new staging of “The Wall” involves new technology that allows him to do things he could only dream about in the 1980s and ’90s.
“Projection systems now are completely different from what they were then, which means that I would be able to project over the entire 250-foot expanse of the wall … which we couldn’t do in those days,” he had said. But more important to Waters than the theatrics is the legendary album’s political and social commentary, which he believes is still relevant.
“When we did it then, we were after the end of the Vietnam War, and we’re right now in the middle of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, so there’s a very powerful anti-war message in ‘The Wall.’ There was then and there still is now,” he had said.
Waters plans a segment in the show that will pay tribute to soldiers who lost their lives, not only in the recent wars, but also in other conflicts.

Third eye on the forehead. I have a third eye but it is in the rear somewhere but I am not disclosing the exact location, surely some of you can guess the exact spot.
Where have I been? I could say down the long and winding road but that would be foolish. Speaking of foolish, on a hill? Possibly. I've been here, there, and everywhere to be honest but I want to go home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am being daft with my half-wit attempt at humour. Trust me, I have been reading the posts mainly when I come to the board. As I was telling someone you know quite well, regardless of which side of the fence someone is on here, it is fun to read the adventurous posts by the members.

I had no idea there are truffle dogs, thanks for that tidbit of information. This may explain why when I wake my nose is dirty.
I do apologize, this is the photo I meant but I see it is the top of statues head with his parted wings style hair. He seems to have a knot head right below the part or some trick of the eye with lights and shadows.
oh, I'm sorry I don't have that close for you. JoJo has the master super hi res on file somewhere........in a shoebox..... anyway, oh yeah, that's a full 3rd eye, not a camera trick....with all due respect, where ya been?

"Bill Clinton celebrated his 64th birthday in the Hamptons this weekend, Page Six reports. The former president and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton threw a huge party at the home of Doug and Lily Band in Water Mill. On the guest list were Katie Couric, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffett, Matt Lauer, Lloyd Blankfein and Vera Wang, who, of course, dressed Chelsea for her wedding. The bash was catered by Jason Weiner of Almond restaurant in Bridgehampton.
Bill's actual birthday was August 19 and McCartney called him then to sing "When I'm Sixty-Four."
So what kinds of presents did Clinton get? He used Facebook Causes to ask for donations to support the things he stands for, such as reducing childhood obesity, tackling climate change, and encouraging economic opportunities through entrepreneurship. Clinton is the first public figure to raise funds through the site's birthday wish program."
