The moon, sometimes, just can't get an even break. In the "Days of Future Passed" album, she is described as follows: Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight: Red is grey, and yellow white, (she's a deceiver!) But we decide which is right, and which is an illusion. (We, the people of "mankind" in '1960s speak'.)Hear it for yourself!: If NASA was going to have a program for a LUNAr landing, you'd think that they might just have given it a name that honored the goddess, but noooooooo....They called it "the Apollo mission", which of course, would be an appropriate name for a mission to the sun. But then again, what would you expect from a bunch of guys (which NASA very much was in the 1960s)? You know how it is with them wimmins: "Can't live with 'em; can't live without 'em!" Even Lloyd the bartender in The Shining said that! Of course, Wendy ended up getting the upper hand in the movie, didn't she. See? That's the thing about the moon and wimmin: they're sneaky!The idea of the moon being "sneaky" ("snakey") is also implicit in the meaning of THE MOON card in the Tarot deck. It represents the hidden side of things: the subconscious, psychic things (hidden knowing), intuitiveness, deception of appearances, and treachery. Do you see that it is number 18 in the deck? Wanna know a little secret? Do you wonder why Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission? Because they wouldn't have dared to perpetuate the fraud to the number of the moon herself! They knew their cover would have been blown, and that they'd be found out if they had tried it. I touched the Apollo 17 capsule after it had landed, by the way! It was onboard the USS Ticonderoga, which had picked it up from the ocean, and which had then returned to Pearl Harbor, and we Navy people were allowed to come aboard and look at it. It was roped off, and there was a guard standing there to protect it, but while he was looking the other way I sneaked a touch! And I haven't washed that finger ever since! (And now it glows in the dark! ) But I digress. In astrological terms, one might expect that the Gemini twins who were murdered in "The Shining" would have been reborn under the sign of Cancer, the next sign up, which is ruled by the moon. However it would appear that Danny, being Apollo, was born the next sign up after Cancer: a Leo, which is ruled by the sun, because Apollo is obviously the sun. But Tony - the secretive, subconscious, intuitive knowing, deceptive of appearance kind of guy - he would be represented by Cancer, seeing as he had all those lunar traits. You might say that he was the feminine/lunar side of the personality for whom Danny is the masculine/solar expression. In other words, Danny and Tony together represent the dead twins, but now they are living as one being, whose outward manifestation is Danny, but whose inner nature is Tony, and together, as one person, they have Cancer (the moon) and Leo (the sun) covered. Is this Tony, looking through the moon? Or is it Danny, looking through the sun? One more thing to consider: If the moon landing program was intended to be misleading; if those behind it knew we couldn't possibly be ready for an excursion to the moon by "the end of the decade" (1969), which was the goal set by President Kennedy when he announced the Apollo program, but was merely a charade to fool the Russians into thinking that we were that advanced in space science (so that they shouldn't think of attacking us), then maybe it all somehow makes sense. Maybe it kind of "fits", as one of those 'lunar deceptions'. (The moon unfairly gets blamed again.) The Apollo program may, in fact, have been about what it should have been about, given its name: getting a man to the sun! Of course, that would be absurd, wouldn't it? (Wouldn't it?)

The subject of the Gemini 12 space shot has come up here before, as well as at TKIN. A keen-eyed observer noticed that the cover for the Moody Blues album "Days of Future Passed" appeared to artisticly pay homage to that particular flight. The album was released in England on November 11, 1967, and in the US it came out in the Spring of 1968. As with Sgt. Pepper before it, there seems to be a lot of significant imagery on the album cover. It was also the first Moody Blues album featuring the John Lodge and Justin Hayward version of The Moodies, as opposed to the Denny Laine line up. Now I have to tell you, my innocence has been shattered by the recent revelation at tafultong's blog that Faul may be a Billy Martin 3 or 4, and that Justin is a member in good standing of Martin Sr.'s transparently quasi-masonic SODS (Society of Distinguished Songwriters) group. Justin is shown second from right here. Pictures like this make me cringe. In any case, I am beginning to suspect that the quasi-masonic order of SODS took it upon themselves to ensure that after 1966, the major names in British rock would carry the Horus/Isis/Osiris message, if they hadn't already been behind the scenes implementing such a scheme. But getting back to Gemini 12, I remember seeing this image in Life magazine (if memory serves) when I was a teenager, and thinking that it looked to me as if the docking module that the crew of that flight had been practicing docking with, was heading toward some sort of triangular spacecraft, even though the official explanation for the white dots given at the time was that they were some sort of space debris. Here is a picture of the docking module close up: Now, I like Gemini 12 as much as the next guy, but what was so special about that mission that it warranted being commemorated on an album cover? After all, the Gemini missions featured two guys in a space capsule orbiting the Earth. One would think the "big enchilada" would be the Apollo missions, when men (alledgedly) left the Earth's orbit, and sallied forth to explore the moon. Gemini 12 was the last of the Gemini missions. It was launched on November 11, 1966, at 3:46:33 p.m. EST. Or, for those of you whose watches don't measure seconds, it could be said to have been launched at 3:47 EST, rounding off to the nearest minute. 3:47 EST is the first album by the Canadian group Klaatu released in August 1976. more to come Rocket shaped written Rocket shaped John's legs Rocket Man Across The Universe

Thanks for posting those images, GN; we'll be getting to them shortly. My take on the two beetle images that P(D)enny has posted is that the yellow beetle represents "The Beatles" being driven by John, essentially, as far as the Beatle connection goes in this film. Jack Torrance is unaware of his connection to the Overlook at the start of the film, and everything is looking "sunny and bright". I think this corresponds to the fact that we are not aware of our past life deeds, and so we innocently encounter karma from our previous efforts at making a go of it. The yellow beetle is the innocent Lennon/Torrance. It is not representative of John/Jack after he has picked up the axe, etc. The red VW is Paul, having been in an accident, being "very bloody". There is another connotation as well, which I will discuss once we have the groundwork laid for it. If P(D)enny wants to add information, then certainly he's welcome to do so. And everyone else too, of course! ;D

I know that at TKIN BeatlePaul had proposed that Paul, having died, was flown into space aboard the docking module of Gemini 12, possibly in a cryonic (frozen) state. Perhaps the idea was that he could be kept "on ice" in the coldness of space 'til such time as he could be thawed, "repaired" and brought back to life here on Earth. I am more inclined to think that he may have been shipped to that triangular craft that appears to be awaiting his arrival in the docking module, if he was, in fact, aboard, but more about that in just a little bit. Does anyone know more about the particulars of the circumstances under which that photograph of Paul in a space suit was taken? Let's get back to The Shining for a second.

It is significant, imo, that Jack doesn't start out 'bad' in The Shining. It appears that he doesn't really start to "go bad" until the scene where he is shown being possessed by the evil of the place at 4:26 here. It is Delbert Grady who first eggs him on to "correct" his wife and child, just as he, Delbert, had to "correct" his wife and two daughters. It is interesting that both Delbert and Charles Grady have a wife and two daughters, but as far as we know, only Charles actually killed his wife and daughters. Here's the scene again, if you would like to refresh your memory of it. The Shining Bathroom Scene It is also Delbert Grady who expresses disappointment in Jack's failure to discipline his wife and child while he (Jack) is locked in the cooler. It is Delbert Grady who releases Jack from his "jail". This is an interesting development in the film, as it suggests that unlike a ghostly echo from the past that shines into the consciousness of Danny or Jack, Grady has a presence in the place in real time. The fact that he also describes Danny's "willful" efforts to "bring in a third party" into the situation shows that Grady is not a mere reflection of times past. In fact, Kubrick uses an interesting device to show the shift from the past to the present in the scene above. Delbert has no recollection of killing his wife and daughters as Jack has described to him up until 2:15 in the video. We are given to understand that what we are seeing is Mr. Grady's awareness of reality in 1921. At 2:05, we, the audience, find ourselves suddenly viewing the scene from the opposite point of reference to where we were seeing it before. Mr. Grady explains to Jack that he has no recollection of having committed such a crime, from 2:05 to 2:15. However at 2:27, after Jack tells Mr. Grady, "You were the caretaker here!", we are shifted back to our original point of view of the scene with Mr. Grady's statement, "...but youare the caretaker", at which point we are now in the present. In fact, with Mr. Grady's statement about "Did you know, Mr. Torrance, that your son is trying...(etc.)", the appearance of Mr. Grady appears to have been "aged" somewhat if you look carefully, imo, and certainly his ever-so-polite and humble Butler-esque nature is considerably diminished. It occurs to me that perhaps the Mr. Grady at this point is supposed to be Charles, the 'twin' of Delbert. Whatever the reason, there is a change in appearance and mannerisms. "Indeed he is, Mr. Torrance; a very willful boy! A rather naughty boy, if I may be so bold, sir."I'll make what I presume are some of the Beatle connections in the next post! ;D By the way, here is the wikipedia description of the movie, in case anyone needs a reference to keep track of the plot, etc. P.S. I apologize for how long this is taking. I am as eager to get moving along with this as you presumably are for me to do so. We're into 'the tricky' part, now, and I want to be as straightforward as possible. I have had a few "false starts" trying to get this to flow. All apologies. B

Thanks for pointing that out, FP. Rob Ager's take on it is interesting, coming from the viewpoint of a non-American; he tends to see things a bit differently than we here in the US might be inclined to. I would have to take exception to his comparison of "All work and no play..." to the US constitution, and I think he goes overboard a bit with his reading of Native American meanings into some of the scenes, such as saying that the twins correspond to Mother Earth and Father Sky, but the videos are worth watching, I'd agree. One area that he touches on right at the beginning: the mirrors and reflections, are particularly significant, imo. I think Kubrick was trying to convey the idea that not only is the theme of twins a major part of what happens at the Overlook (and perhaps with The Beatles ), but that in life itself there is a pattern of a duplication of ideas and situations occuring simultaneously, so that, for instance: events like what happened at the patent office happen where-in Alexander Graham Bell and another individual both applied for the patent for the invention of the telephone within hours of each other. Or that: at the same time as Sylvie Vartan was having success as a singer in France, a woman who (at the time) looked like her, named Nico (of Velvet Underground fame), also well known in France, was starting her singing career in England. So: the mirroring of people and events is significant in the movie, and in understanding what Kubrick is saying in this film, which is why it may pass for a Beatles commentary even though ostensibly it is not a movie about them. Now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to pick up on the fact that Jack, taking on the personna of Charles Grady, is 'the devil' in the movie, or at least, his instrument. (The twin Gradys, as Kubrick has it, and Mrs. Grady, the woman in the bathtub who twists Danny's neck, collectively are the 'devil' at the Overlook, but Delbert is chief among them, as an instigator.) Never-the-less, it is Jack who "becomes" the flesh and blood demon in the film, as we can see in this shot from when Jack is ascending the stairs while Wendy is swinging the bat at him. He makes the 'devil horns' sign with his hand, probably intending it to be the "I love you" signal in sign language, as he says the word "darling", in the sentence: "Wendy, darling, light of my life, I'm not going to hurt ya!" in a manner that conveys the very opposite message. It occurs at 2:22 in the video below. Wendy, who is backing up the stairs, is portrayed as none other than Isis, or Mary, The Blessed Mother, who is often portrayed with stars above her head, as shown here. In "The Shining", the light fixture above her head stands in for the stars. Danny, of course, is Apollo, the young sun god, who Wendy defends with a mother's concern. As iameye pointed out in this thread, Danny is depicted with the Holy Grail in front of him, which was used for ice cream. So the actors in this movie have significance beyond their mortal identities, in their roles. They are playing out the actions of 'the gods', a point which I think Kubrick feels is relevant to us all. We are "the gods" playing out our roles in life, unaware. So now we can get to The Beatles.

Speaking of Apollo... The debut announcement in print that "Paul is Dead" was made by the Oracle (Article) of Delphi, in the Drake University Times-Delphic student newspaper. The author's name was Tim Harper. Timothy means 'honors god', thus Tim Harper means 'harp player who honors god'; this is an appropriate symbol for Apollo, the god of music. -j

I'd like to toss around some ideas at this point. Unfortunately I can't be as precise as I would like to be here, because we just don't have a clear enough understanding of the info for me to be exact, but I'll muddle through as best I can. Reader comments are welcome.
The tale told in The Shining as far as PID/PWR goes, would seem to be that in as much as "the twins" were successfully murdered by Charles Grady, then possibly Paul, born in the "Summer of '42" as a Gemini (the twins), was killed, but the victory was short-lived, in that the murdered ones came right back, reborn, as Apollo (Danny) and Tony. Therefore Delbert Grady (as the devil) had to once again motivate Jack to want to murder the no-longer dead twins, who, being 'gods' this time around, represent a threat to him (Delbert - the devil). Jack, in a sense, is a stooge of the devil.
Danny is Paul as his god-self, not as easily subdued this time, especially as his mother, Wendy (Mary/Isis) is looking out for him. So the battle has escalated from one involving "mere mortals" to one being played out on a more cosmic level.
Jack axes Dick Hallorann right in the heart. Dick, as a fellow-shiner to Danny, represents a spiritual father/guide to Danny, or simply put: God "the father". When Jack axes Dick Hallorann right in the heart, he is symbolicly "stabbing God in the heart".
In Beatle terms, if Jack represents John Lennon, then we might infer that in a past time, he killed Paul, just as Charles Grady killed the twins; and then in the more recent past, he may have attempted it again. Let me be clear: John, in a previous incarnation, may have killed, or caused to be killed, Paul, who, of course, would have been known by a different name at that time.
Since Danny is shown to be "Apollo", the sun god, the son of Zeus, then he compares to Jesus, the son of God the Father. John Lennon, as Jesus' "killer" (but duped by the devil), would be comparable to Judas, who betrayed him.
In the movie Candy, Candy is the innocent extra-terrestrial, who, in the opening clip of this thread, is followed by a black VW beetle, as she goes into a tractor trailer, where-in resides a deity, who tells her to get rid of her "material shoes". The fact that she has to cross a stream of water to get to where he is symbolizes that she "crosses the river Styx", or simply put, dies, and consequently has no further need for "material" things like shoes.
Of course, given that the movie Candy is presented as a comedy, we might infer that the death of Candy that is depicted is not intended to be taken seriously, particularly since she is an alien anyway, not a "mere mortal" Earthling.
I think that in both Candy and The Shining, the message is that "the black beetle" is John. I realize that there are no black VW beetles in The Shining. What I mean is that "the bad guy" is "Johnny". Candy and Danny both represent Paul as "the innocent" one.
I believe that in The Shining, this scene is particularly significant:
The Shining - the most rare scene
The implicit suggestion seems to be that the powers-that-be (represented in the person of "Bush Sr.") are being "serviced" by an animal similar in appearance to those shown on the Magical Myster Tour album, hence: a Beatle or "The Beatles". Chanting is heard, as might be heard in a satanic ceremony. Wendy looks on in horror; then flees. The implication may be that John was practicing "black magic".
Here's where things get tricky. I believe that there was a plan that Paul would leave the Beatles, and that the whole "Paul is dead/missing" business would result, and be played out in public. I believe that this was planned, as a play, which would be played out in a very public way, by certain individuals. I believe that the powers who were behind The Beatles, whoever they were, planned this, with the intention of leaving clues suggesting that Paul was Jesus Christ re-incarnated, and that his disappearance would come to be seen as the fulfillment of these words by Jesus Christ from John 14:2:
"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."
I think these powers who arranged for the Beatles' success intended that people of the modern age would understand those words in a slightly different way than the people of Jesus' time had. I believe that by leaving hints in the music of "A Day in the Life" of a twice-repeated ascending note, and by leaving a visual clue on the cover of Magical Mystery Tour that the Beatles had gone "over the rainbow", they intended to suggest that Paul had gone, like an astronaut into space, "up" into the heavens, and was "preparing the mansions" for us as he had promised in his earlier incarnation as Jesus, by going into the higher realms. Specifically: that he had gone "through the sun" into fifth dimensional reality, to prepare for humanity's arrival en masse into it.
I believe that all this was to be understood retrospectively, but in time for his 'return', which I have reason to believe was planned to be in about 1985. In Paul's absence, I believe Faul was supposed to fill in for him until such time as people had realized that real Paul was missing, and the search for understanding as to what had happened was started with the whole "Paul is dead" mystery in 1969.
Presumably, if people started seeing two Pauls after 1985, then Paul's trip to the fifth dimension and back would be seen as having been successful. Of course, like the moon landings themselves, all of this could be staged, with the real Paul simply leaving the Beatles in 1966, and hiding out in Africa or some out of the way place.
And what might not have been planned, but which might have occurred, would have been the actual death of McCartney himself, or a significant diminuation of his ability due to a car accident, or whatever.
In the story of Jesus, Judas's betrayal was already factored in, presumably by God, so that the sacrifice for humanity by "the Son of God" would take place, so that even if Judas was not aware of such a plan himself, he none-the-less did "what had to be done" in that event.
By the same token, we might assume that if Jack represents John in "The Shining", John, as Charles Grady (or the devil's advocate) killing his daughters - did what he had to do to enable them to be reborn as Apollo and Tony, who, as such, may have "gone through the sun"/"over the rainbow" and returned through death and rebirth, just as Paul may (in the Beatles story) have gone into space, gone through the sun (a wormhole) into the fifth dimension, and come back as a now fifth-dimensionally-born, being. (Unless, like Candy the extasterrrestrial, he already was such a one before arriving on Earth.)
Are there indications though, that John ever tried to kill Paul, or have him killed "this time around"? And if there are, are they to be taken seriously, or are they just part of a story?
This post is getting a little long, so I will end it here, and continue with some of my thoughts in a follow up. Feel free to comment.
P.S. I wish this were a simple story but it isn't. I have quite a bit more to say, but I just got called for a trip to Scranton, so I won't be posting more 'til tonight at the earliest.

Continuing along.... Nat WeissI find the letter a bit peculiar; don't you? "Sunday and Monday, I'd quite like to take a yacht trip on similar lines to that which we took last year when I came to the States in connection with Jesus Christ. Maybe on Sunday we could have all manner of pretty, mortal persons on board..."Who the hell is Jesus Christ? I think he must be refering to Faul, who in 1966 would have been preparing to take on the role of Paul. He is shown as being in that role in the Russian TV clip that shows them rubbing Vasoline on the cover of the Sgt. Pepper album. As GN has pointed out: Sgt Pepper's Inner Groove (first forwards, then backwards)"Will Paul be back? He's Superman." "Strange visitor from another planet" - as they used to say in the old 1950s TV show intro. Just like Candy. "Maybe on Sunday we could have all manner of pretty, mortal persons on board..."What? Some of those on board would not be mortal then? As I mentioned in another thread, Paul might fit the pattern of The Prodigal Son story in the Bible; he wants to "get back where (he) came from". And where might that be? If we take a clue from the Rolling Stones' 1967 album "Their satanic Majesties Request", then Aldeberan, as described in the song "2000 Light Years from Home". Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion We're setting off with soft explosion Bound for a star with fiery oceans It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home
Freezing red deserts turn to dark Energy here in every part It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
Bell flight fourteen you now can land See you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home ----------- Paul, born as a mortal to be sure, but.... perhaps it was for appearances only. (I'll be adding more shortly.)

I must admit I haven't viewed the videos as I don't have the time right now but... "Sunday and Monday, I'd quite like to take a yacht trip on similar lines to that which we took last year when I came to the States in connection with Jesus Christ. Maybe on Sunday we could have all manner of pretty, mortal persons on board..." Who the hell is Jesus Christ? I think he must be refering to Faul, who in 1966 would have been preparing to take on the role of Paul. He is shown as being in that role in the Russian TV clip that shows them rubbing Vasoline on the cover of the Sgt. Pepper album. Does that quote then remind you of the photo which featured "numerous Pauls" aboard the boat on what if memory serves me correctly was the Hudson?
