Strange Timing & Motive In Polanski Arrest

[David Guyatt]

There is a lot here that goes back to Papus and the politically focused Martinist Order that is behind the idea Synarchy and which the faked up PoS was intimately involved with -- hence all those nasty fascist types at SMOM, Shickshinny, Wandering Bishops and the AS et al.

Hearkening back to EWS again, I'd like to link to to an analysis of Kubrick's film by one Rob Ager, called "Unseen Reflections" (http://www.collativelearning.com/EYES%20...lysis.html), in which he says that the character Bill Harford played by Tom Cruise lives in a dreams state (Kubrick based his film on the German novel Traumnovelle, which translates as "Dream Story". That is until after he attends the Somerton ritual and is forced by events to wake up. Ager's essay is interesting and insightful but, imo, he misses the deeper pulse that I think Kubrick was exploring.

I cannot help but wonder if Kubrick chose the subject of Bill being asleep in order to echo the state of the Fool in Tarot cards - or in the Arthurian Cycle which would, I imagine, equate to Sir Perceval who was brought up in a forest (i.e., he was wholly unconcious) by his Mother (complex) who ensured he was kept unworldly. But in full time it is Perceval (Parsifal = the pure fool) who attained the Grail (Sir Bors being the only other one to do so).

As for the black/white rainbow stone, I guess it's not the one found at the Blue Mountain, at Lajwurd. Jung makes it out as card 21 in the major arcanum, the World, integrated, Cosmos.

I think, because the 21st Tarot card, The World symbolizes accomplishment and wholeness, which is the entire purpose of the process of integration of the split parts to create the whole.

The Phoenix is rather tied down to the color pink, the mixing of red and white, the dappled canopy of the red sky, strewn with white stars, semen or clouds, the brain and the skull, the color of resurrection for the Egyptian amanita cult when the soul flies free from the ashen lakes of lower existence.

You should see my wonderful (and quite large) collection of digital paintings, including (but by no means limited to) examples from El Greco, Carvaggio, Durer, Rubens, Spada through to Micheangelo, Monet and David Teniers the younger (sad ain't I) that include the motif of the human skull within the painting.


David Teniers the Younger - The Alchemist

Teniers, as you will recall was one of the two painters referenced in the PoS story. The Teniers painting in question was The Temptation of St. Antoine - which also features a skull - amongst other things.

The human skull symbolizes the alembic or the retort of the alchemists, where the metals (psychological parts/elements) are broken down as a consequence of the nigredo and then reintegrated according to the alchemical motto Solve et Coagula. Clearly this does not happen in the skull of the deceased as symbolically represented but rather the living skull (i.e., our very own bonces).

If you're seeking the Grail cup or vessel, there is no better representation of it than the foregoing human skull - hence its widespread adoption by painters and artists throughout the ages.
