Pictured left and right above, Pazuzu: “The name Pazuzu comes from the Sumerian word pazuzu meaning ‘the fierce wind’…” https://www.deliriumsrealm.com/pazuzu/ ; however, the iconic first appearance of this daemon dates from the 8th century BCE (799-700), a time when Mesopotamia and Babylon were under the dominance of Persia, the fourthempire to rule the Near East (in the order of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Persia). “Zu” a is title shortened from “Anzu” in Akkadian, representing a half man-half bird called “The Wise One” in the older myth traditions of Sumer and Akkad (c.2200 BCE). “Zuzu” I can guess is either a double-headed bird or one whole single flyer. “Pa” is a word root in both Persian and Sanskrit for “protection” and the Pazuzu amulet was put to that purpose, mainly for use by women and babies as protection against other daemons. Like the deeply ancient mother goddess figurines, Pazuzu heads compare to real-world bird brains, growing loftier over time with a larger and higher job description as do other bird brains in my narrative.
Pazuzu was re-introduced to the world in the 1973 hit movie The Exorcist, adapted from the 1971 book by its author William Peter Blatty. The setting for Blatty’s story is Washington DC’s own neighborhood of Georgetown, spot on God’s Meridian, the 77 longitude, connected by the Francis Scott Key bridge to Arlington (different from the bridge in Baltimore that crashed on March 26, 2024). Georgetown’s bridge over the Potomac ties it to Rosslyn, the neighborhood site of Dark Star Park, across the wide Arlington burial grounds from the Pentagon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown_(Washington,_D.C.)
“Our Lady” of Paris had its cornerstone laid on Easter, Resurrection Day, of 1163 (1+1+6+3=11) March 31 (31-3) according to the Julian calendar then in use. No existing document in church history proffers the date, we’re told, even with the King of France and Pope attending. Adding sufficient days for modern Gregorian conversion means that April 15 (4+15=19), 2019 is exceptionally close to the actual 856-year (8+5+6=19) anniversary of the cathedral –the day that it burned in the 19th (6-7pm) hour. Six men who had been at work on construction that day died in the roof collapse. “…Meton of Athens, in the 5th century BC, judged the cycle to be a whole number of days, 6,940 [6+9+4+0=19]. Using these whole numbers facilitates the construction of a lunisolar calendar… A 19-year cycle is used for the computation of the date of Easter each year.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonic_cycle
The south-facing wall with the giant rose window called the “noon rose,” seen above on the right, was reported almost lost in the fire. The window height soars 19 meters from the floor foundation and draws a visitor’s eye across the Seine. At risk was a very rare, perhaps one-of-a-kind, depiction of Adam and Eve in stained glass. Do you see a flamingo (phoenicopterus) fire bird?
The origin of this story plate is unknown, as is the cathedral itself. The supervisor of the building project, Bishop of Paris Maurice de Sully (who was born in 1110 and died on September 11, 1196), was a close confidant of King Louis VII, who organized and led the European forces of the Second Crusade. As I write, I’m still looking for the placement of this A&E glass panel. Despite the photo label, the window petals don’t match the color scheme of rose windows in the Paris Notre Dame. I’m suspecting it’s either in a private area, or was replaced during an earlier renovation and reinstalled somewhere else entirely. The image, however, has an authentic 12-century style, if not a conventional message. Note the circle-within-a-circle appearance of a snakeskin framing the scene. https://artwithsymbols.com/ouroboros-mythology-alchemy-eternal-symbolism/
Flamingos do not hang out in trees but live their lives gathering in great numbers, feeding and nesting on salty mudflats and marshes where few other creatures can survive. Eggs are laid into scraped-together mud cones, one egg to each breeding pair (same as the extinct passenger pigeons), and protected as much by the exclusive environment as by the parents. On the south Occitanian coast of Provence is a famous gathering place of flamingos known as Carmargue, that is today a protected reserve of the Rhone river delta. A medieval fortress there, called Aigues-Mortes, still guards the salt flats where human production of fleur de sel remains even now the largest bounty of gourmet Mediterranean salt. Upriver from the delta is the ancient city of Avignon, once the 14th century seat of the Popes for almost a hundred years while the Catholic church was in schism. F-l-a-m-i-n-g-o=77.
Fig (=22) trees, by the way, do not grow flowers but have rather a hidden structure inside the cup-like buds of its fruit: “…The whole show happens secretly, inside the fruit itself.” https://www.htecfarming.com/fig-tree-flowering/
Sharing the Rhone delta are the near mythical white “sea horses” of Carmargue: “This vast wetland sanctuary isn’t just remarkable for its flamingos and salt flats, but also for its…legendary white horses that have roamed these marshlands since time immemorial…[as] symbols of freedom and resilience… Their story is one of survival, cultural heritage, and a rare harmony between wildness and human partnership that continues to captivate the imagination of visitors from around the world. The origins of the Camargue horse stretch back into prehistory… Archaeological findings reveal that these horses were already adapted to the marshy environment during the Paleolithic era. ” https://www.newsbreak.com/animals-around-the-globe-312249899/4595592166361-the-legendary-camargue-horses-of-france-born-to-run-free
“In Provençal folklore, the Camargue horse occupies a place of mythical significance, often depicted as emerging from the sea like supernatural beings. Ancient legends tell of these horses being born from the union of the wind and sea foam, explaining their white coats and untamable spirit. They feature prominently in traditional celebrations throughout the region, particularly during the Fête de la Sainte-Marie-de-la-Mer…”
This is going to be a positively cephalic post, and it’s shaping up in my mind to be a long bulletin board –time will tell—because I think I can do a lot of dot-connecting with this topic. Included in that thought are previous blog articles and subjects like the Atomic Agent Oswald series (unfinished), Sandy Hook, encephalitic diseases (polio, flu, crow-vid), new material on Law, myth & mysticism and much more unposted bloggy kind of business.
I also have stray but interesting facts that seem to need this nest, such as an historic sequence of tree blight in the 20th century : Chestnut, Elm, Pine, Hemlock and Ash: C-E-P-H-A, in that order. Whaaaht…!? Questions, questions… Do we really live under an evilarchy of human doers? Is tree blight another intriguing clue to the scientific doing of undoing? …birds, bees and trees!?
Groundwork, think-seeds, and my method of narrative are already posted in the body of Corona the Crow and the Crow Notes, so I’ll list them high and move on in usual style—on the fly!…today, tomorrow, next week, etc.
When God was a bird is referencing the BRAIN figurines called ‘venus’ and ‘mother goddess’ totems –icons from unknown misty history. New bird/brain comparison pictures are up at the latest (previous post) of Crow Notes. If the old bird brain figurines are as old as the archaeologists suggest (i.e.40,000 years) we have no way of actually knowing their social function in context. That they ARE bird brains in form is beyond dispute or controversy, in my opinion, supported by myth and legend. When and how recorded civilizations internalized the Birds should be part of a new story, especially to include pandemic influenza and Corvid-19.

170) Corona The Crow (what is SARS-Corona really? myths, symbols, metaphor and Twilight Language)
“Science is made by men, a self-evident fact that is far too often forgotten.” –Werner Heisenberg
(sourced from the 2025 book “The Devil Reached Toward the Sky, an Oral History of the Making & Unleashing of the Atomic Bomb” by Garrett M. Graff)
New Catastrophism could hardly invent a better story than the unleashing of newks (pardon my spelling). Heisenberg, famed for the “uncertainty principle” in quantum physics, took on a prominent role as Germany’s Prometheus in rivalry with the “American Prometheus” Robert Oppenheimer–a popular 2005 ‘best-in-class’ book by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin. Bird and “sure win”?? Am I poking fun? For the record, I don’t believe n-weapons are a hoax, rather an actualized stage of apocalyptic destruction in a global theater. It has an earlier counterpart in so-called Spanish Flu, both highly complex, war-ending (denoting victory), and paradigmatic earth shakers brought by the Gas Giants.
But, to the point, did we learn in school that the creator of mankind, Prometheus, was a twin?
A pair of brother “Twins within” : 1000 BCE Persian figurine compared with the ‘male’ (front-facing) human brain
Prometheus (‘foresight’) and Epimetheus (‘hindsight’) get a role reversal in our new-clear history version. Oppenheimer, I contend, is America’s Epimetheus. In the myth of the twins, these Titans (old gods) are both punished by Zeus, the Olympian usurper: Prometheus (Heisenberg, anyone?) is chained and tortured by the bird for ‘stealing god- fire’ and giving it to man, while ‘foolish’ Epimetheus is wed to the seductive and human Pandora (meaning “all gifts”; innocence? vanity? curiosity?), made for him by Zeus, and unthinkingly opens her ‘jar of all troubles’.
The real-life ‘rivalry’ between Heisenberg and Oppenheimer is a myth. As I know it, in the summer of 1939 at the University of Michigan, physicist Samuel Goudsmit hosted a last gathering of international colleagues before the outbreak of World War II where Heisenberg attended. Anticipating their future ‘patriotic’ obligations, all were concerned for his welfare under Nazi authority and bid him not to return to Germany. There, in secret among a few trusted friends including Goudsmit, Heisenberg passionately swore he would never help the Nazis build atomic weapons or destroy Germany in the process. Therefore, he told them, he must return to prevent anyone else from helping either. In all respects, Heisenberg carried through to the point of failing to acquire technical knowledge that would aid the ‘project’. A certain proof of Heisenberg’s fidelity in the late days of war was to walk away unknowing that he had been targeted for assassination by an American physicist/baseball player named Moe Berg who sat and drank coffee with him somewhere in Switzerland. At war’s end, Heisenberg was held in custody by the British and ‘bugged’ for more information, thanks to the “atomic agents” of operation ALSOS (Boris Pash, Samuel Goudsmit, Moe Berg) and a probable American military intelligence officer in-the-know named Clay Shaw.

“And Epimetheus replied, ‘… it falls to me to right this wrong as I gave away the gifts carelessly with no thought toward the final creature. Let me give to this Man a gift of myself, let me give him the ability to remember his history and learn from the past and to pass that knowledge on through story…’ Epimetheus went to live among the humans as a storyteller and taught them the history of the Gods to ensure that they not forget ….” [quote source]Prometheus and Epimetheus: A Tale of Two Brothers https://sacredhearth.com/prometheus-and-epimetheus-a-tale-of-two-brothers/library/
For the purpose of this post, I’ll give my own ‘working’ definition of a crystal: a discrete object wherein all of its constituent units are homogeneous and identical.
Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus (originally published anonymously) in 1818; for a decoded review of the newest movie remake (released November of 2025) compared to the original novel (pick up the video at 1hr 19 minutes) see Mind Unveiled channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcLc2vX_3I0
Frankenstein’s Creature was 8 feet tall with yellow skin and long, lustrous black hair—like a great plucked raven– likely envisioned here by illustrator Theodor von Holst (1831 edition), who died of a liver disease on February 14, 1844 at age 33. Mary “God win” Shelley, who conceived of the novel at age 18 (as her story goes), may have approved. She died February 1, 1851 (2+1+15= 18). And here’s Victor –same face? You won’t see it in any other Frankenstein books or movies, and Mind Unveiled makes no comment on their ‘twin’ appearance, but sometimes you don’t have to—seeing is enough. “The creature always seems to find him” goes the narration, and when not in the open, he comes to Victor’s window.
It is this very looking-glass element I most want to peruse.
_______________________________________________
The Sandy Hook monster: creation and creator (so to speak)? Same face?
See the Lady of the Library video (17 minutes), “The Universe Doesn’t Care…,” for a brief bio and philosophical sketch of H.P. Lovecraft
Look into the liminal spaces to see Lovecraft under the mask of Adam, and then imagine a kid with a digital crayon working it over, as if ‘the children’ themselves created the monster that would burst through the window and destroy them.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890; 8+20 (28) and 1+8+9+0 (18) = 46, also his age at death in the city of his birth, Providence Rhode Island. His full name in gematria number code equals 272. https://www.shematria.com/newindex272 A few select meanings from the 272 list: to kindle, consume by fire or eating; waste; brutish; to cross over, cover, convey; meddle, provoke; intermix, co-mingle in a web; dusk [twilight] and raven — meanings drawn from biblical and religious texts –the antithesis of Lovecraftian belief!
In the end, no one could fully piece the Sandy Hook monster together. The story is everyone’s and no one’s– a creature of culture. “SHE” was erased down to the last crushed brick and made new. Nine years and 317 days later (9 + 11), a monument was opened to the public (Nov 13, 2022). The very last brick is there, hidden under a plaque and made from the warehouse full of saved mementos; teddy bears, toys, candles, cards, crosses and maybe even Christmas trees, incinerated and compressed to a monolithic black mass.
During an image search for ‘Adam and Eve,’ intending to show it as ‘brain’ structure and expecting some medieval illuminated manuscript, I quickly found something surprising—but not surprising really. This 4th century carving on stone turned out to be more illuminating.
Among the earliest Christian artifacts known, Agape’s box shows a first couple depiction considered to be very rare. What struck me first about this panel is the lack of physical differentiation between Adam and Eve. It reminded me right away of the Persian figurine and the Frankenstein pictures— identical ‘males’ for each. And there’s also something I’m learning new from this sarcophagus, that the lamb is associated with Eve and the wheat with Adam.
Some human brain anatomy comes in handy here: The so-called ‘female/goddess’ side of the brain core is posterior and back-facing: Eve is the eye in the back of the head with an apple for a pineal gland, (and in bird words) nerve feathers stretching out toward the visual cortex nested in the occipital plate defined by the lambdoid suture. The interior ‘cross’ of the bony occipital plate that She is facing is called the cruciform eminence.
Meaning and usage of lambda: “In physics, particularly in quantum mechanics, the lambda symbol is often used to represent the wavelength of a wave or the decay constant in radioactive decay. It is also used to represent the cosmological constant, which is a term introduced by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity to account for the expansion of the universe… In feminist movements, the lambda symbol has also been used as a powerful symbol of resistance and empowerment. The symbol was adopted by the National Women’s Conference in Houston in 1977 [Venus!]. It was chosen because it resembled the Greek letter “lambda,” which stands for liberation…” [also adopted by LGBTQ+ whatever] https://shunspirit.com/article/lambda-symbol-meaning
Agape and Crescentian were most likely to have been Christian gnostics, evidenced by the other panels on her tomb. I can only find pictures of three panels (lid edges included), versus five-of-six that could be carved, but nevertheless Jesus is a central figure on the front. He is shown fully-robed, young and beardless with curly, thick-looking hair—the most feminine of all the characters displayed. And at least one change attributable to the emerging Christian believers of this early period, significantly diverging from Judaism, is that they stopped sacrificing lambs. For my conceptual uses here, read that as “stopped killing their mothers” and by extension babies too.
Agape (ah-GAH-pay):
“agape (n.) c. 1600, from Greek agapē “brotherly love, charity,” in Ecclesiastical use “the love of God for man and man for God,” a late and mostly Christian formation from the verb agapan “greet with affection, receive with friendship; to like, love,” which is of unknown origin. It sometimes is explained as *aga-pa- “to protect greatly,” with intensifying prefix aga-.” The Christian use may have been influenced by Hebr. ‘ahaba’, “love” [Beekes]. Agape, in plural, was used by early Christians for their “love feast,” a communal meal held in connection with the Lord’s Supper…” https://www.etymonline.com/word/agape ; The Lord’s Supper, or Eucharist (communion), is the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Christ, and when instituted by the Roman church, taught as an actual hocus-pocus transformation.
I have a ‘self-evident’ proposition: In the Old Testament book of Genesis, chapter 11: 1-9, where “the people are one and they all have one language,” (NKJV, Tower of Babel) the language is MATH and comprehending its meaning is AFTERMATH.
Mathematics — “the concepts of numerical and spatial relations… directly from Latin mathematica (plural), from Greek mathēmatike tekhnē ‘mathematical science,’ feminine singular of mathēmatikos (adj.) ‘relating to mathematics’[;]…pertaining to learning, disposed to learn,’ from mathēma (genitive mathēmatos) ‘science, knowledge, mathematical knowledge; a lesson,’ literally ‘that which is learnt;’ from manthanein ‘to learn,’ from PIE root *mendh- ‘to learn’… ‘Mystical doctrines as to the relation of time to eternity are also reinforced by pure mathematics, for mathematical objects, such as numbers, if real at all, are eternal and not in time. Such eternal objects can be conceived as God’s thoughts. [Bertrand Russell, ‘A History of Western Philosophy’]” https://www.etymonline.com/word/mathematics
…so, the less romanized languages that dominate Europe & North America maintain this ancient root of (undifferentiated)“man” as math. If you’re still hanging with me, you might enjoy this 1 hour audio from Red Ice Radio with guest Marty Leeds https://archive.org/details/youtube-cwbAZCyW2ak; Marty also made a documentary about Sandy Hook dedicated to one extraordinary man in pursuit of the truth: “Dear Wolfgang, Revisiting Sandy Hook” https://www.archive.org/details/DearWolfgang-RevisitingSandyHook from which I’ve pulled the image below.
Here’s the slogan– can the in-form-ation be any plainer? Do you like codes, puzzles, wordplay, anagrams, acronyms, ciphers and games of chance? –Bird language? The acronym from the top is WASH –wash like laundry? or “we are” Wash, as in D.C.? I’m working on some anagrams for the whole sign, but here’s my first all-letter anagram for ‘we are sandy hook’ (=164=(1+6+4)=11) and it reads like a directive memo: “re: ok Wash Day One” Back in 2011, Eric Holder visited Connecticut staties to apprise them of the government’s gun-control policy to “repetitively… brainwash“** their citizens to disarm. “O’ Hades woke Ryan” is another all-letter WASH, and attentive observers remember the ‘Ryan’ script, but “we choose love”-craft, huh?, so ADAM emerged from the underworld.
Using all 26 letters from the billboard, applying the most letters to words having sense with speech, turns up a little Q&A spell. Question: what does the spell do? Answer: “Does craven YHWH laws, ooookeee?” The split arrangement of the sign lettering stacks 14 over 12, a mirror for the day of 12-14. That’s the sum, and enough SHE for now.
There are 22 bones in the head that determine structure and form and an additional 7 that facilitate function of the senses, including speech. https://www.theskeletalsystem.net/skull-bones; 22/7 is our approximation for Pi (3.14 to infinity). This Pi sits atop a slender staff of 33 vertebrae, and to our erstwhile Babylonian ancestors, the architecture resembles a date palm tree: “Sumerians first began their relationship with the date palm, a tree that towered up to 100 feet and could live up to 200 years, as early as 4000 BC… They called the date palm (phoenix dactylifera) gishimmar, and its fruit, zulum… According to a German Assyriologist…[named] Benno Landsberger, these words are from a pre-Sumerian language…that…place India alongside Mesopotamia as the origin of the idea to cultivate the date palm. Further, the Biblical Archaeology Society says in an article, ‘The earliest-known date seeds were found in the Indus Valley settlements…[of] the sixth millennium BC, suggesting that dates originated in the East and were carried to the Near East and Egypt.’ ” https://allmesopotamia.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/dates-in-mesopotamia/ Palm trees, incidentally, grow native varieties in temperate zones all over the earth. The seed carriers, we can guess, are likeliest to have been ships and birds, the best of all spreaders.
Akkadian era cylinder seal—the oldest Adam and Eve?—what do you think?
“Assyriologist George Smith described the Adam and Eve seal as having two figures (male and female) on each side of a tree, holding out their hands to the fruit, while between the backs of the figures is a serpent, which he saw as evidence that the Fall of Man legend was known in early times of Babylonia… The professor in comparative mythology and comparative religionJoseph Campbell sees in it a cult that has probably emerged and developed in the Neolithic period presenting the mother goddess associated with the Tree of Life and the serpent. He writes: ‘Hence the early Sumerian seal figure cannot possibly be, as some scholars have supposed, the representation of a lost Sumerian version of the Fall of Adam and Eve. Its sprits is that of the idyll in the much earlier, Bronze Age view of the garden of innocence, where the two desirable fruits of the mythic date palm are to be culled: the fruit of enlightenment and the fruit of immortal life. The female figure at the left, before the serpent, is almost certainly the goddess Gula-Bau (a counterpart, as we have said of Demeter and Persephone) while male on the right, who is not mortal but a god, as we know from his horned lunar crown, is no less surely his beloved son-husband Dumuzi, Son of the Abyss: Lord of the Tree of Life…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve_cylinder_seal
The ‘allalu’ bird, a.k.a. Coraciidae (/kɒrəˈsaɪ.ɪdiː/) is a family of Old World birds, which are known as rollers because of the aerial acrobatics some of these birds perform during courtship or territorial flights. The family contains 13 species and is divided into two genera. Rollers resemble crows in size and build, and share the colourful appearance of kingfishers and bee-eaters…They are monogamous and nest in an unlined hole in a tree or in masonry… The family gets its scientific name for Latin coracium, ‘like a raven‘, and the English name ‘roller’ from the aerial acrobatics…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coraciidae
Of course, the roller when rolled produces an image of two serpents framing two seated figures flanking the two-fruited palm, as in the Bible Society photo I’m showing. [source: https://armstronginstitute.org/188-early-cylinder-seals-and-the-garden-of-eden] One must complete the circle and the symmetry. A ‘magic circle’ in the practice is created by closing it, acquiring Pi and producing perpetual energy according to believers—demonstrated in the Stuxnet computer virus post by beginning and ending the ‘message’ with the same symbol. It’s the symmetry and placement of serpents (claustrum) that helps identify the “Temptation seal” as a brain schematic. And, according to myth from which Campbell is leading, Dumuzid/Tammuz/Adon is a bird.

How important is symmetry? “…Perceptual constancy is essential in everything we do, like recognition of familiar objects and scenes, planning and executing visual navigation, visuomotor coordination, and many more. Perceptual constancy would not exist without the geometrical and physical permanence of objects: their shape, size, and weight…[as] invariants, also known in mathematics and physics as symmetries. Symmetries of the Laws of Physics …is applied to mirror-symmetrical objects and establishes mental shape representation (perceptual conservation) through the application of a simplicity (least-action) principle…” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8419223/
Cymatic holograph images of WATER, described by John Stuart Reid, CymaScope youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@cymascope4986/videos; I highly recommend his 33 minute video “Secrets of Cymatics III: Four postulated laws of cymatics” (2024) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FaGUIY9_dM ; Pay attention to the numbers shown and spoken –and for the curious, follow up with more info from Reid’s segment in the documentary “The ‘1’ Field” (begin at the ‘tone’ sequence with musician Anders Holte who is on his way to Reid’s lab, at 1hr:03m:11; Reid will show you pictures of his Great Pyramid sarcophagus results and his current use of the ‘EVE’ machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTxJOvzafM0
To bring some cohesion going forward, brave reader, the concept of symmetry as described by a cymatic model is essential undergirding. It is perhaps the ultimate measure of ‘soundness’ for a truthseeker. I’ll be contrasting symmetry with correspondence to make distinctions among the designs and designers, posting first the internet search return when I asked the question: What is the difference between correspondence and symmetry?
Answer: (dictionary grade, edited)
Correspondence: (n.) 1) Friendly intercourse; reciprocal exchange of civilities; especially, intercourse between persons by means of letters… 2) Mutual adaptation, relation, or agreement, of one thing to another; agreement; congruity;… relation.
Symmetry: (n.) 1) A due proportion of the several parts of a body to each other;… the union and conformity of the members of a work to the whole… 2) The law of likeness; similarity of structure; regularity in form and arrangement; orderly and similar distribution of parts… Equality in the number of parts… 3)Likeness in the form and size… of the same kind; regularity [*in conforming to rules and laws—*my addition] https://comparewords.com/correspondence/symmetry#google_vignette
“Sound made visible” with John Reid’s fused-quartz CymaScope seems like a new science– to them maybe– but there’s a strong correspondence to work done in the 1950s by the polio ‘virus hunters’ who learned from their liquid virus specimens “that normal glass caused the viruses to disappear before they could be studied by x-ray or EM; the researchers learned by substituting special fused-quartz ‘optical’ lab glass that they could reconstitute the missing viruses in the particle beams. The question is: Were the so-called viruses ever reallythere in the first place…?” [quoting Earth Salt and Space Crystals]. Are we looking at not only the pleasant frequencies of voices and violins, but possible nano-architecture of new drugs, new ‘viruses’ and machines?—which is the present purpose and funding incentive behind ‘space crystals’. If you check in the article for the full polio &fused-quartz explanation, scroll down to ‘Magic Numbers’ in the field of nano-construction with this question in mind: Are the ‘magic numbers’ actually specific frequencies of sound and light? https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2024/01/26/earth-salt-and-space-crystals/Temples of Aesclepius, god of medicine and the raven-child of Apollo and Coronis, appear widespread around the ancient Mediterranean as healing spas of music and bathing. These ‘Aesclepions’ have some of the most acoustically perfect amphitheaters ever built, designed to hold thousands and tens of thousands of people. Do we settle for a story about “healing through drama” in the staging of spectator psychotherapy, or can we recognize the power of sound and symmetry? https://olympia-museum.gr/sanctuary-of-asclepieios/#the-hellenic-baths-purification-and-healing-through-water
Building with light, or 3D photonic laser printing, is another wiz-bang technology that grabbed my attention with a “2PP/two-photon” Eve, shown by Ulrike Granogger in her Future Science commentary series. Is that an apple in her hand?
From the top, foregoing images of Adam and Eve show the earliest illuminating fruit Tree as a date palm (gematria value= 72) and (Agape’s) fig (=22), so the apple (=50) is at best a third, and late, variation. Nonetheless, if you add a fig (22) to an apple (50) you can still get a date palm (=72) which is a cipher from Old Testament Hebrew on the ’72 Names of God.’ But I suggest the Eye of the Needle figure is not Eve but Atalanta, who lost her foot-race in a “suit for marriage” by the ardent Hippomenes when he threw magical golden apples (from Aphrodite’s sacred garden) into her path to slow and distract her. Hippomenes won his ‘prize’ and the race but this is a cautionary tale without symmetry, a race to the bottom—all the humans lose; their humanness, their freedom, and their lives. Such is the case with Frankenstein according to Professor Margaret Russett (USC), describing the dark side of the Enlightenment. “Both Frankenstein and his creature lose everything” (minute5) of “God-like Science? Frankenstein’s Critique of Reason” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJQ5x6wNwHY
“The concept of the ‘72 Names of God’ is rooted in Jewish mystical tradition, particularly Kabbalah, and is derived from three verses in the Torah (Exodus 14:19–21)[Exodus=88, 14+19=33]. These names are not “names” in the conventional sense, like the Tetragrammaton,…[but] said to encode divine energies used by Moses to perform the miracle [“Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night… and the waters were divided.]” https://medium.com/@lovefoods_54026/72-names-of-god-biblical-origin-of-the-72-names-of-god-82376563c037
There are 27 bones in the human hand, including the carpals of the wrist—a mirror of 72, like the ‘red finger’ fruited date palm (phoenix dactylifera). A pair makes 54, which is also the complete present-day number of titles in the United States Code of law, divided as 27 “positive” and 27 “nonpositive” laws. Interestingly, according to etymology online, the Welsh word for ‘palm’ (as in palm of the hand) is “llaw.” https://www.etymonline.com/word/palm More than a few contemporary Welshmen believe that they, the Welsh known as Cymry, are descendents of ancient Egyptians who came out of Egypt, so to speak, and brought their legacy of Druid mysticism with them. Can we suppose the C-Y-M- that identifies them also composes the roots of cymbal and cymatics? Check the ‘cym-‘ words in your dictionary for the variety of ideas derived from it, such as “waves” and “boat shaped.” Among these early Welsh is a near-secret language of the ‘hand’ alphabet, where a silent conversation can be tapped upon a hand.
The United States Code, or “Statutes at Large,” is the template of permanent U.S. law adopted on June 30, 1926 (6+30+(1+9+2+6=)18), equaling a sum of 54 matching our 27+27 Titles, when most of the legislation to support it did not exist. The Code is having a 100th anniversary this year, a ‘divine child’ number, while the 119th(911) Congress is in session. Stick a fork in that. The newest title is Title47 (=11, or Euclid’s 47th), TELECOMMUNICATIONS, supported by the Digital Equity Act of 2021(funding earmark of$65 billion) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47 designed for a full build-out of the digital society. Included in Title 47 are the protocols for dividing and auctioning off the electromagnetic spectrum, incorporating every r-a-d-i-o (=47) measure passed since 1912, suggesting that the container (Title 47) was prepared far in advance of most of the technology too. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47 –incidentally, the present number of USC titles (54) match the date but not the original 1926 number of 50 titles. The long arm of the ‘llaw’ is still growing and fluid, just not as Thomas Jefferson and other Founders imagined it, where the helping ‘hands’ would be the Ten ‘Bill of Rights’ Articles (plus #11 and 12 procedural amendments) that sustained the advance of state-hood until 1865 (18+65= 9+11). More on the subject is a work-in-progress series (Ocean of Laws, See of Souls). https://uscode.house.gov/download/documents/WhatTheCodeIs.pdf
Foundational developments for nearly all of our telecommunications, high energy physics and materials science emerged from achievements in obtaining x-rays and radium; 1900, founding of the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/professional-associations/radiology-associations/american-roentgen-ray-society-arrs ;1933: initiation of Janeway lectures of the American Radium Society (ARS) “The heraldry of the Janeway Medal is drawn from the Norse Mythology: Odin, the Allfather with power over the precious minerals of the earth… shows Odin standing before the giant Mimir, warden of the well, yielding one of his eyes for a draught of the precious water. The reverse medal presents Odin’s two ravens who spent the day flying throughout the expanse of the universe: Hugin (Thought-Reflection) and Munin (Memory-Remembrance) who returned each evening to perch on Odin’s shoulders and whisper in his ears …” https://www.americanradiumsociety.org/general/custom.asp?page=janewaylectures
I learned Odin’s raven story differently, a reverse in fact– they took flight at night (when ravens are naturally ‘gone’ from the soundscape) and counseled him by day, the way your own ‘intelligencer’ (brain) would work.
Hiraeth – “…[is] a Welsh word that doesn’t have a direct English translation. It’s about a feeling, a longing or yearning for a place, particularly in Wales. It might describe a nostalgic emotion for a place from your past or one that only lives in your imagination… The University of Wales, Lampeter, compares the word to homesickness or sadness forlost culture.” https://medium.com/bupublication/a-rare-welsh-word-hiraeth-2c7f05055371 ; “Hir,” meaning long, is pronounced like the English word hear, rhyming near and dear, and though the etymologists maintain that“aeth”(pronounced with a long ‘I’ as in EYE, and variably spelled ‘aith’) is a notional abstraction, I suggest that it means “aether,” alluding to heaven. https://academia-lab.com/encyclopedia/aether-mythology/ ; pronunciation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZngpBcn5KT0 . “Hiraeth,” as spelled, makes a magic circle.
An ancient and sacred Welsh-Celtic poem, called The Battle of the Trees (Cad Goddeu), is what first attracted me to Robert Graves’ book The White Goddess, bought long ago and instinctively pulled off the shelf and reread for Corona the Crow. The battle is the cyclical order of the calendar year as each tree comes forward in season– blooming, fruiting, and supporting the web of life wherever it grows. In R.G.’s thesis, the battle order constructs the poetic alphabet of the bards and carries deep religious meaning, understood as “a battle fought intellectually in the head and with the tongues of the learned.” Citing the brilliant but erratic Welsh scholar, Rev. Edward Davies, R.G. shares Davies view that “in all Celtic languages trees means letters,” and by this Tree Alphabet ‘code’ the White Goddess endeavors to reconstruct the poem and reveal the messengers who carried it.
Graves presents the Welsh minstrels who survived the post-Roman incursions (after 410AD) as “descended from the original Welsh master-poets…[who]kept alive an astonishingly ancient literary tradition…in the form of popular tales which preserved fragments…of myth…backas far as the Stone Age.”He warns his readers in the Forward, “that this remains a very difficult book…to be avoided by anyone with a distracted, tired or rigidly scientific mind. I have not cared to leave out any step in the laborious argument…that the language of poetic myth anciently current in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe was a magical language bound up with popular religious ceremonies in honour of the…Muse… and that this remains the language of true poetry—‘true’ in the nostalgic modern sense of ‘the unimprovable original’… [whereas] myths are now studied only as quaint relics of the nursery age of mankind.” [pp9-10, The White Goddess] “The function of poetry is religious invocation of the Muse… The ancient Celts carefully distinguished the poet, who was originally a priest and judge as well, and whose person was sacrosanct from the mere gleeman. He was in Irish called fili, a seer; in Welsh derwydd, or oak-seer, which is the probable derivation of ‘Druid.’ Even kings came under his moral tutelage.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Goddess ; http://robertgraves.org/
“Druid” appears to indeed derive from the PIE root ‘deru’ that associates to a chain of subsequent root words meaning ‘forest,’ and I’ll give this Old English example: the word “HOLT” (forest, timber) and suggestively, I’m adding ‘hold’ as in land or on a ship — https://www.etymonline.com/word/holt — look to associated ‘kla’, ‘kel’, ‘kata’and cataclysm: cataclasm(n.) “a breaking asunder, a violent disruption,” 1829, from Latinized form of Greek kataklasm “breakage,” from kata “down” (see cata-) + klan, klaein “to break,” which is perhaps from PIE *kla-, variant of root *kel- “to strike” (see holt), but more likely of uncertain origin [Beekes]. Cataclastic, in geology, in reference to a structural character due to intense crushing, is attested from 1885.”
Cutting, splitting, ‘seeing’(‘scier’) and sawing are various PIE and old Anglo words for science. The addition of kata — breaking, downing and felling—certainly expands the concept, like not seeing the forest beyond the trees. It brings me to the first tree on my head list, “C,” the American Chesnut.
C-E-P-H-A =33
“In 1904, the chestnut blight was accidentally introduced to North America… into the United States from East Asia via import of Japanese chestnut trees. Commercial breeding purposes motivated these imports… Herman W. Merkel, a forester at the New York Zoological Garden (Bronx Zoo) first found infected chestnut trees on the grounds of the zoo… It took about 40 years to devastate the nearly four-billion-strong American chestnut population in North America.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_blight
“Chestnut blight: An American Tragedy” — “If you could custom design the ideal tree species, you couldn’t come up with a better one than American chestnut. It was a huge, majestic tree, with a very straight stem. The wood was nearly ideal… The tree was common. It made up about 50% of most eastern hardwood forests. It grew fast, and would regenerate itself by root sprouts vigorously… In North America, chestnut blight is present in the entire native range of the host and has moved to areas of planted chestnut far from the native range. It is also present in Europe… We will never have chestnut like we did in 1900, at least not in the next few hundred years. But there are some areas of hope for some form of recovery…. [by] Genetic engineering… A major hurdle is regulatory review of planting genetically modified organisms (GMOs, here sometimes called Frankentrees) in the wild. Three agencies are involved, US Department of Agriculture (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service), US Environmental Protection Agency, and US Food and Drug Administration… https://forestpathology.org/canker/chestnut-blight/
1904 is not an accurate year-date for the introduction of chesnut blight in the Americas, and a Japanese origin for the fungal invader is probably wrong too– the Japanese chesnuts that were brought over for “landscape architecture” in 1876 (and I will get to that) were resistant and survived unharmed, with no evidence of the dread Cryphonectria parasitica. The source country of the fungus was recognized as China sometime around 1905, and within the decade it was already far too late to save the American species. As I write and research this, the story is ballooning under scrutiny. Most of it will have to wait for a sequel! My end-point intention for the American chesnut was to demonstrate how the loss of “chesnut currency” also took down a phenomenon in bird population with the extinction of the American passenger pigeon.
Symmetry shines in this epic of birds and trees, and almost nobody among the officiated is telling it. Perhaps they can’t quite piece it together for reasons unknown and constraining. So, it’s a people’s history, and if the numbers are right, there was a match: a passenger pigeon for every chesnut tree –multiple billions! The range and concentration of each was a match, especially as they were dying out. No bird species on the planet today numbers over 300 million according to experts, but the passengers migrated to and from their primary nesting grounds in flocks of millionsputting billions on the wing. Thinking of it gives me a primeval shiver. Some accounts record that these 60mph flyers flew so close together that they blacked out the sun overhead for hours and even days. “Biblical” is the word.
Naming the last last bird after the first First Lady, Martha Dandridge (Mrs.) Custis ( Mrs.Washington, childless second marriage with George), seems an unlucky omen. The Custis children all died young. John (‘Jacky’) lived long enough to father four ‘survivors’ (one son, three daughters) but died of illness at age 26. The pigeon had no offspring but lived longer than Martha’s . In time, Jacky Custis’s land purchase of 1,100 acres became the inheritance of his granddaughter, Mary Custis, who married General Robert E. Lee. Mr. and Mrs. Lee(=22) lived together at Custis’s Arlington House, later confiscated during the Civil War and permanently federalized as Arlington National Cemetery.
There’s a curious correspondence here with the day and hour of death for Martha the bird, 9-1-1, her age of 29 (all the head bones, and a mirror for 92) and the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon, demonstrated in Corona the Crow Part Two. Across from the Pentagon (=92, or 9+2=11) at the far end of Arlington (=110) Cemetery is a small triangular ‘art’ greenspace called Dark Star(=92, or 11) Park, an arrangement of 5 large cement spheres designed by artist Nancy Holt, a word meaning ‘forest’. Crow #2 decodes the movie Back To The Future, among other things, as the Pentagon’s 9-11 event where the set and scenery present a lettered sign that reads “Holt’s diner,” ana-grammed to “Holt sinder” as a phoneme for the burned out “fallen stars” (and a root word for ‘science’) but able to stand here, in this context, as an ashen forest that was once a feast of ‘mast’ for the birds. The post-9-11 memorial at the Pentagon features “flying benches” to honor the dead staff and passengersthat numbered 184, equaling 92+92, at the Pentagon/Dark Star on that black (=29) day.
“Martha extinction” equals 184.
The bird-brain (=77) version of the hit on five–stars (=119) had flyer 77 (AA77, or 1+1+7+7), a Boeing(=52, or 7) 757(=19), slamming into the Pentagon at 9:37 (9+3+7=19) where it pigeonholed (=110) the building precisely at the ‘recently renovated’ ONI suite: Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI=38, 3+8 or 11). The pilot(=72, or 9) and hijacker(=65, or 11), Hani Hanjour (=119), made a one-of-a-kind 330 degree descending turn toward his target to leave a smoldering 18-foot diameter vent in its wake. Despite the impact explosion and fires in the building, the continuing plumes of blackening smoke on scene all came from construction dumpsters, visible to the travelers and surveillance cameras on highway 27. “State Route 27 (SR 27) is a freeway in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States, known as Washington Boulevard. It was built during World War II to connect the Pentagon with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) and northern Arlington to the west…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_State_Route_27 ;
27+50=77. “US”=40, so US50=40+50 (4+5), or 9. State=65, or 11, and Route=81, or 9, plus 27, or 9… navy personnel=180, or 9, dumpsters=135, or 9…
Lightpoles went down too. Lightpoles=123. Passengers=123. “Chesnut bird”=123…
Gematria is anancient A.I., as fluid as water. Fluid+water = 119. It works very well as a think tool (think=26, tool=26) in a think tank (=72) with basic math and American English. Gematria for g-e-m-a-t-r-i-a equals 74. Gematria for e-n-g-l-i-s-h equals 74. Thinktank gematria = 9 +11. The practice of assigning numbers to letters is documented from 8 century BCE Greece and was spread during Hellenization of the Mediterranean and Near East. Two languages, Ionic (standardized) Greek and Hebrew, have passed it forward from antiquity.
Columbia, as in the District of Columbia, means “pigeon place,” or “dove place” if you prefer, but science makes no distinction between pigeons and doves. They are all of a columbiform class called columbidae. The differences among these birds are largely behavioral and symbolic, determined by their colony– colon, meaning pigeon or dove as well as your gut.
Less than 6 months after the Frankenstein rehearsals, on April 20 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris launched a barrage of death and mayhem against their schoolmates, allegedly killing 13 and wounding 20, including a teacher (=33). Even now, more than 25 years later, people are still trying to piece together what really happened from the multitude of fragmentary evidence left behind. The only seemingly consistent fact that applies across the terrain is 9-1-1 code –the story is creepy-crawling with it— beginning with the shooters’ birthdays. I only intend a small sample here because it raises a lot of questions beyond the scope of this post.
Eric Harris was born April 9, 1981, and turned 18 (=9) just 11 days before the shooting. Dylan Klebold was born on September 11, 1981, which made them 155 (=11) days apart in age. Year 1981= 1+9+8+1=19. April 9 is the 99(=18, or 9) day of the year. September 11 is the 254 (=11) day of the year. The number ‘20’ of course, Columbine’s doomsday, implicitly holds 9+11 together with 1999. April 20 is the 110 day of the year, and the mayhem began just minutes after 11 o’clock in the morning. Individuals unknown, who may have had a role in the destruction on that day, were first observed at the school payphone (=100) at 9am, wearing the ‘trenchcoat’ garb that came to describe several others thought to be involved.
The first responder on the scene, excepting police, was the fire and rescue company of Engine 11. Engine 11 can be seen in aerial footage near the ‘west’ alcove entrance where the cafeteria (ground floor) and library (second floor) are located. Most of the shooting took place in this corner of the building, where the greatest concentration of the 1800 student-body gathered over lunch hour. Strange things happened there with Engine 11, said to have been commandeered by the SWAT team to provide them with cover. Footage clearly shows that the men dragged two bodies from the alcove, moved the bodies around, and then repositioned them near the sidewalk where fleeing students later passed closely as they ran out. Good luck with finding a continuous clip of Engine 11 activity. I’ve seen it before as a continuous action video, years ago, but these two out-of-sequence clips still show the movement of bodies. “Part 4” (2 bodies dragged out of recessed entry and placed near/on firetruck) 5 minutes – https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/view-from-helicopter-aerial-view-of-school-police-take-news-footage/654676724 ; “Part 7”, students are made to run by the 2 ‘dead’ bodies https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/video/view-from-helicopter-people-evacuated-from-school-running-news-footage/654679734?adppopup=true ; possibly better image quality of the body drag here https://archive.org/details/ColumbineRaw4 . Engine 11 was subsequently returned to the firemen working triage and the vehicle and crew finally left the premises at 9pm.
Closing the circle for Columbine is people’s history. Do youknow the story? Would you tell it to your children and grandchildren? Within days of April 20, 1999 foundations for truth were coming forward, with most to be quashed. However, one extraordinary individual who picked it up at the beginning compiled a legacy of evidence that rings through the distortion and denial. As a whole, it is standing the test of time— symmetry. Listen.

20 days before Columbine, on March 31, 1999, The Matrix opened in wide release
[I=Interviewer, H=Michael A. Hoffman II]
I: “Yesterday in your HOFFMAN WIRE column you cited the Hollywood film ‘The Matrix’ as part of the processing that leads to tragedies like the massacre at Columbine. Would you elaborate?
H: “On April 21, on one of the morning TV news shows, while the massacre in Colorado was being analyzed, a film clip from the movie “The Matrix” was broadcast showing star Keanu Reeves dressed in a black Trench Coat firing two automatic pistols and engaged in an assault on a SWAT Team. I don’t scan TV around the clock, but I noticed that, soon after, the Matrix film was no longer being used as the chief reference point for the Colorado school shootings and instead the networks had substituted the movie “Natural Born Killers,” (NBK). NBK is their favorite whipping boy since NBK goes after the jaded news media and its exploitation of violence. The movie “Matrix” features a pyrotechnic ballet of extreme violence, filmed with the lushness of a porno flick–gunmen taking on a SWAT team, toting bomb-filled duffel bags. There are a lot of parallels to what happened at Columbine High. The news media tipped the public off on the connection to the Columbine High massacre in one quick segment on Matrix–just enough to fulfill the Revelation of the Method and then they buried it and diverted attention away from it…
But this is the Revelation of the Method era, as outlined in my book. This is the time when they show us what they’re doing to us. Matrix is a textbook case of this. Take your kids to that film and they’ll have a virus implanted in them. The System doesn’t need MKUltra anymore. The media culture itself is now so far gone it functions like MKUltra. True, most kids will not “go Postal.” But certain attuned ones will and that’s all the System needs. It’s all about brutalization and desensitization. Ask any soldier what happens on the killing fields. You are brutalized. Violence becomes an exercise, like walking the dog. Shakespeare said, “Tis not good that children should see any wicked thing,” but modern youth see such things every day, sometimes every hour or even every minute. We have a nation of brutalized children; brutalized by public schools, video games, sick movies and parents who don’t have the gumption to separate their kids from the whole toxic cloud because they themselves are addicted to it or are making a profit off it. Therefore, they will pay the Videodrome piper, like the folks in Littleton, Colorado did.” https://www.revisionisthistory.org/matrix.html
I liked The Matrix a lot –the first run of the first movie—and like it still as a stand-alone set piece. The quasi-religious overtones and gratuitous violence become acceptable story elements inside The One protagonist’s mind; watched over by Trinity (tri-part brain, Mother goddess and partner) inviting the digital but fractured doubting Thomas (twin) seeking Morpheus (the god of dreams) to embrace the un-natural so-called (as in tele-phoning) realworld to gain a co-existing mastery, wholeness, within and beyond the Matrix. Sequels?—forget about it. You’re the sequel.
Neo’s last callhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Jww3WWHjo . It wasn’t for years, and the notice of others, that I learned about the sinister embeds like Neo’s ‘id’ card with an upside-down 9-11-2001, his birthday and license expiration.
Science fiction author, Philip Kindred Dick (1928-1982) spoke prophetically about his experience with “the matrix” in 1977: listen to this fascinating description that includes the “déjà vu” glitch as a shift of the program (“orthogonal” break in the timeline) and other elements reminiscent of the Wachowskis’ film . PKD speech in Metz, France 1977 (video), edited to remove translator, and unfortunately cut off after 40minutes. (Minute 16-17)”…We are living in a computer programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed and some alteration…occurs…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQbYiXyRZjM
Philip Dick died on March 2, 1982 following a stroke that caused coma, while alone at home. He was found about 12 hours later, taken and hospitalized on life support, according to friends, until they pulled the plug on him after a week. He had, apparently, been experiencing the first worldly material success of his life—the movie creation of a story we know as Blade Runner—and he was making plans. Three more of his stories were in the Hollywood pipeline, optioned by major filmmakers. On October 11 of ’81, after months of being kept in the dark about the Blade Runner project, he sent a letter to the studio exuding praise for a public preview shown on TV as an upcoming feature. He wrote about it as a new genre of futurism. Here’s the letter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCW8jDoj-a8 .
Less than five months later Philip Dick was dead, buried next to his ‘lost’ twin sister who died in infancy and stayed on his mind from earliest memories. Over the years, he had told interviewers at one time and another that an entity he called Thomas communicated with him as a feminine presence, beginning in high school and ending in 1974 when another more powerful presence “invaded” his mind. What PKD did or did not say in 1977 Metz, or what was not shown, seems to be refreshed in a May 17 1979 recording by interviewer Charles Platt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCW8jDoj-a8 ; pick up at 1hour26min:
“My outlook is based on, not on faith, but the actual encounter I had in ’74 with a mysterious, powerful, rational Mind which was unfathomable to me as to what it was, or what it called itself… [Q: ‘When you say an encounter, was this a hallucination, a vision, or something?’](PKD) It was an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind…This was a rational mind that was not a human rational mind– it was more like an artificial intelligence… The first thing it informed me [about] was to be wary of heavy metals… It had memories dating back over 2000 years. It spoke Greek. It spoke Hebrew. It spoke Sanskrit. There wasn’t anything that it didn’t seem to know. It immediately set about putting my affairs in order. It fired my agent. It fired my publisher. [laughing]. It was very practical… very intelligent. It had a firm and shrewd grasp of business matters… and it had one very over-weaning concern, [and] this was in March of ’74. It informed me that a group of conspirators had murdered the Kennedys, Dr. King, and Bishop [James A.] Pike –that it, the Mind that had taken me over, had seen the conspirators. The Mind then graphically represented itself as the ‘command’ Sibyl, the Sibyl of Cumae…[who] advised the Roman Republic when it was in danger. She had the so-called Sibylline books…[and] well now I’ve let it out of the bag– She was female… She said the Republic was in danger, she meant the American Republic…[and] once again, the Empire threatened to take over. She was there to see that the Empire was destroyed. I shouldn’t be saying this… She caused me to see periods in history in which the Empire had been defeated…She said…the situation now in the United States…[was] that the republic was turning into an Empire and she said that they shall be destroyed because they are murderers. She then dictated a series of letters…[that were mailed]… She also said that she would stay on as my tutelary spirit…
“[Q: ‘Do you recognize the possibility, however remote, that you could have in some way been talking to yourself, that in some way you could have known everything that she knew?‘] (PKD) Yes. It could have been a dialogue between the two hemispheres of my brain…. yes, she could have been inside my head. [Q: ‘But you prefer not to believe it?‘] (PKD) Um, this was suggested to me… but there’s one thing that happened….that she interfered with something causal in my environment and she was actually present…. and it might have been a projection from my own mind… but she was armed with ferocious knowledge, and she was so shrewd, and she continued [to be there]…and she showed me the Sibylline books…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibylline_Books
“Today [2009], even as Dick’s literary legend grows, his connection to Orange County remains obscure. Though he often is thought of as a Northern California writer, he lived his final decade in Fullerton and Santa Ana and wrote several of his most important books—‘A Scanner Darkly,’[pub.1977] “VALIS,” and “The Transmigration of Timothy Archer”—during his time here. And Orange County was the place where Dick in [Feb-Mar, or 2-3]1974 experienced the transcendental visions that, depending on your degree of open-mindedness, either gave him a secret glimpse of a universe with multiple realities and the nonlinear impermanence of time, or shoved him out on the crumbly precipice of sanity.… In Hollywood, Dick has become an industry. Nine of his novels and stories have been made into films that collectively grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, including the 2002 Tom Cruise-Steven Spielberg hit “Minority Report”… Many others are in the works, including projects involving big name [moviestars]… And Dick again is in the news, thanks to a legal struggle that has developed over the profits from his literary legacy…
“In February 1974, after being given anesthesia for dental work, Dick returned home and began experiencing bizarre visions—a rectangle of pink light on his bedroom wall containing writing in a strange language he could not read, along with mathematical equations. He heard voices, and was visited by strange beings who ‘looked almost human, but they had large heads, small noses, small chins and mere slits for mouths,’ as [#5 ex-wife] Tessa later recalled in a self-published memoir, ‘The Dim Reflection of Philip K. Dick.’ Instead of abducting him, the alien visitors used holograms to turn Dick’s apartment into a classroom, where they taught him a secret theory of existence. Dick only explained parts of it to Tessa: The past wasn’t immutable; to the contrary, someone was in the process of changing history. And neither was it linear; somehow, Dick simultaneously existed in the present and in ancient Rome. Neither was the physical world solid and stable… Dick would ponder his “2-3-74” experience, as he came to call it, for the rest of his life, and it eventually would help inspire his 1981 novel “VALIS,” a mind-bending synthesis of science fiction and the mysteries of Gnosticism and Christian theology, in which mystical revelations are beamed by laser from an orbiting satellite.
“‘He was his own skeptic, always ready to dismiss and deride his theories when he saw flaws in them,’ [friend Tim] Powers says. ‘One day he’d think it had been God talking to him. The next day, he’d say it was just acid flashbacks. The day after that, he’d decide it was psychosis, or some sort of secret Soviet telepathy experiment. But he kept coming back to the idea that it was God.’ He pauses. ‘I’d put money on it that it was God who spoke to him, crazy as it seems… Or maybe it’s just a better story that way.’… In February 1982—a few months before the release of “Blade Runner,” the Harrison Ford movie that would introduce Dick to mainstream audiences—he suffered a major stroke at his condo, dying on March 2 at age 53. The facts of his demise have not been universally accepted…” https://arthurmag.com/2009/07/02/philip-k-dick-the-orange-county-years/
It would be easy to slip down the rabbit hole here and unearth more elements of PKD’s own life that appear mirrored in The Matrix, even in substance of fine detail. The movie’s “simulacra” moment pictured above is a case in point: a transaction of “2 grand” is taking place for a desired piece of Neo’s homemade software, hidden in the “book”. He gets the message from this deal to “follow” it for a further desired contact. PKD made his first Hollywood sale of a novel for 2 grand, the story that became Blade Runner, and as it was, especially then in 1967, unpredictable in outcome for his future.
In 1963, among five novels written that year, Philip Dick wrote his own “Simulacra.” The reviewer liked it. Give him a moment: The Simulacra: “The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic future, decades after China attacked the U.S… with atomic warheads. This gave rise to a population of mutants, similar in appearance to Neanderthals. People ride in self-driving cars. Ads are living creatures that can invade your home and car and must be killed [before they infect you with their products]…The Sons of Job are a neo-fascist political party. People live in giant communal apartment complexes and are required to take civics tests to stay in them. Many people want to escape this totalitarian society by immigrating to Mars. People buy android nuclear families just to have normal friends… The Simulacra pictures future America where psychic abilities are accepted as real, that time travel has been perfected, where people and animals can be artificially created and the results indistinguishable from real people and animals, that colonies exist on Mars and the Moon, and alien lifeforms can be commercialized. In other words, all the crap ideas that science fiction fans and fans of the occult…thought possible, became possible.” https://classicsofsciencefiction.com/2024/01/05/the-simulacra-by-philip-k-dick/
Piecing together Philip K Dick has to include his hometown of Berkeley California, where he entered high school just as the attack on Pearl Harbor put the entire region into full tiltwar mode. “Berkeley is home to the oldest campus in the University of California, [UCB], and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which is managed and operated by the university. It also has the Graduate Theological Union, one of the largest religious studies institutions in the world. Berkeley is considered one of the most socially progressive cities in the United States…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley,_California ; The University of California, as a network that included its satellite schools and private contractors like Bechtel-McCone, also contracted with the Army Corps of Engineers in 1943 to run the operations of the Manhattan Project, the MED, from Los Alamos near Santa Fe New Mexico. Operating the LBNL and the LANL brought two major nuclear laboratories under the wartime wing of UC Regents, where they were to stay under management at the least until 2018. The MED, conceived and organized out of Columbia University in New York City, tapped Colonel Leslie R. Groves to run the logistics. Operation “ALSOS,” the atomic spy-counter-spy program under Groves, is not an acronym, rather a Greek appellation for “groves,” as in trees. Col. Groves’ achievement as an ACE to that point had been oversight of building the Pentagon from its first day of construction on September 11, 1941.
Exactly 18 years after the Pentagon’s birthday, on September 11, 1959 (=44), Lee Harvey Oswald left the El Toro MCAS ( Marine Corps Air Station) in Santa Ana (south of Los Angeles) on a special early discharge to take a bus ride home to Fort Worth Texas. Seven (=65/6+5=11) days later on the 18th, however, he was waiting in a New Orleans hotel with a ticket to steam across the Atlantic, purchased through the International Trade Mart (‘World Trade Center’) Travel Consultants Inc., where former Army Major Clay Shaw was Directing Manager (and cofounder according to sources). Oswald was all of 19 years old and would see his next birthday a month later, on October 18, in Moscow. Clay Shaw equals 92, like Pentagon and Dark Star.
Why did Oswald ride from Fort Worth to New Orleans (=126, or 9) to catch a ship to Europe when the ports of Houston and Galveston were closer and easier? Adding up the cluster of intelligence alphabets that oversaw him in the summer of 1963, in fact going back to his active duty in Atsugi (=77) seems like an answer. CIA=13, FBI=17, ONI=38, and AEC=9 –Atomic Energy Commission—makes this equation: 13+17+38+9=77. Architecture. The AEC(=9) used the ONI(=11) as its reservoir of security personnel. Atsugi + Japan =119. We know today that Atsugi was a forward nuclear base, in violation of the terms of occupation with the Japanese. “Godzilla” was their movie in response.
The “other Pentagon,” which was probably unknown to the general public in the ‘50s and ‘60s, is the underground bunker at Raven Rock (Site R, 77degree longitude), Adams County, PA. The U.S. government took 1,100 acres from the locals to build it during the Korean War, mirroring in land what it took in the Civil War for Arlington. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/what-to-know-about-raven-rock-us-governments-doomsday-bunker-ps-111125 ; this brief article on Raven Rock, advertising a new show in simulation of it, was posted on Nov 11, 2025 (11-11-2025/9). The dating makes 9-11 forwards and backwards: November means ‘9’ so the date can also be read as 9-11-9.
Behind every lone nut (=101) is a system (=101).
God’s Meridian 77 West
“Observers will note that this is the longitude, to a high degree of precision, of the capitol city of the United States, Washington D.C. There is even a ‘meridian hill’ in Washington that marks out the precise location of 77…placed there by the architect…Pierre Charles L’Enfant. It is also the longitude of the first English settlements in North America. This, we do not think, is a coincidence… To any Christian believer, this tract of land would truly have been viewed as ‘sacred.’ As the only place in the world where the true Equinox could have been observed, the holders of this precious parcel could truly claim to possess ‘the Promised Land.’ …Elizabeth (=88) [the first] (and her successor King James I), promptly launched a secret campaign to wrest control of this crucial longitude in the New World… When [John] Dee decoded the Anni-Domini calendar, it must have confirmed to the School of Night that which they already suspected: that America was the special place that the antiquarian legends spoke of. What is certain is that immediately after Dee’s calendar work was published, he and Raleigh began to do what was necessary for England (and by extension, their secret society) to establish a beachhead in America. By April 1585, after nearly three years of preparation, the first serious expedition to colonize America was launched under the guidance of John White and Thomas Harriot… From their landing spot at Roanoke Island, Virginia, Harriot and White were in a perfect position to survey the land and the stars… ” http://rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=6279

This NSA lecture document on John Dee, by Leslie A. Rutledge, was released from classified status and provided for publication on November 11, 2011 (11-11-11); … “[Dee] was, all by himself, a Rand Corporation for the Tudor government of Elizabeth… He based his career soundly in mathematics. He achieved fame in this field through exemplary [and politically shrewd] tactics. Having taken the MA at Cambridge, he went abroad for graduate study… He tutored ambassadors’ sons and developed other contacts useful to a government career. After two years in Louvain, he came to the University of Paris. With 4000 students from all over Europe, it was the cockpit of the European academic world—the Berkeley of his day… On returning to England…[Dee] wrote briefings on cosmology and geology for the use of young King Edward VI and was retained in the government… [But] Alas, this young king died and was succeeded by Queen Mary. Bloody Mary…who had [begun] executing Dee’s friends. Dee fell victim to a two-year McCarthy period… It was charged that a man who knew so much must have got that way through abominable converse with infernal powers…” https://www.nsa.gov/portals/75/documents/news-features/declassified-documents/tech-journals/john-dee.pdf ; Dee, nevertheless, had been cultivating “flowery” correspondence, flowers allude to magic, with Princess Elizabeth and “continued to play Madame Blavatsky to most of the important people in England.” In short, Dee was to organize the secret intelligence of Elizabeth’s administration, from her privateering navy to the players and playwrights of the stage. “But of his actual government service, we know very little. He went from time to time to Europe…[and it] was during one of these trips that he made his principal contribution to cryptography.” [p5 of 16, ibid.] Dee surreptitiously copied a key treatise on magical theory (Steganographia) replete with formulations of code and curious “angelic language,” developed by a 15th century mystic who called himself Trithemius.
In the video link below (1hr13min), scholar Justin Sledge calls Trithemius (aka Johannes Heidenberg,b.1462) the Father of Cryptography :“How Angel Magic Gave Us the Internet – The Steganographia of Trithemius,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq96NDOB0xs (channel ESOTERICA) The first 32 minutes seem like useful information, and therefore good to know, but after that it’s a fast ride down the slippery slope of the Matrix again. H.P. Lovecraft tapped into this demonological corpus for his Weird Tales (i.e.,citing Trithemius), and Philip Dick, too, pondered the notable occultists of the era (students of Trithemius such as Agrippa and Paracelcus, e.g.), wondering if it was they who invaded his mind for “teaching” purposes. John Dee, surely, was a master of the realpolitik of his day, exploiting popular English notions of “buried treasure” on the ears of his impoverished sovereigns. Perhaps Dee was the ultimate purveyor of “God’s Meridian” –his legacy attests to the role of spiritual father of the British Empire. Curious correspondences abound there, along route 77.
The towns of Palmyra, Manchester, and Fayette New York on the 77: Mormon lore holds that HillCumorah was the site of Joseph Smith’s visitation by the Angel Moroni, a tutelary spirit that instructed him for 3- 4 years before releasing the “golden plates” buried there. The golden plates were inscribed with an indecipherable script that Smith ‘translated’ into The Book of Mormon. Cumorah, accordingly, was the scene of a last great “battle of extinction” where 200,000 people of warring nations fought themselves to death (Nephite v. Jaredite), and now long-owned by the LDS Church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumorah The region generally is known as the upper Finger Lakes. Just to the north is Lake O-n-t-a-r-i-o (=72), under the hand of Ontario province, where the small city of Cobourg sits on the north shore. Cobourg was named for the Saxe-Coburgs, a native branch of whom (Coburg-Gotha) gave princely and life-long protection to Adam Weishaupt after his **lightning strike exposure as an Illuminist. Next to Cobourg Ontario, on its west side, lies Port Hope, the former industrial processor of Canada’s bounty in the radium and uranium trade, begun in 1931. 1+9+3+1=14=7+7, hmm?? Farther north, the 77 runs a long line through western Quebec.
** Johann Jakob Lanz, aka Lanze, who was meeting with Weishaupt on a courier’s errand, was struck dead by lightning in Regensburg while carrying a members list of the Illuminati on his person. The date given is July 20, 1787. https://www.regensburger-touristen-guide.de/en,bauwerke,4,adam_weishaupt_engelburger_gasse/; It occurred to me that the name “Adam Lanza” was an amalgam of the two Perfectiblists, Adam Weishaupt and Johann Lanz. Adam (=19) Lanza (=54). In my own pragmatic ‘number’ theory (versus mystical-magical theory) the meaning of this combination, 19 +54, is a statement declaring a “forever change of the law” to our form of government, that being also the purpose of Weishaupt? https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2024/05/20/illuminati-reader-part-1-webster-on-weishaupt/
July 20 is an anniversary preceding Sandy Hook by 146 days as a mass shooting inside the Century 16 (Golden “Age of Discovery”) cinema in Aurora Colorado during the midnight special movie premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises.” Consider the literary origin of this movie title: “The Dark Night of the Soul (Spanish: La noche oscura del alma) is a phase of passive purification in the mystical development of the individual’s spirit, according to the 16th-century Spanish mystic and Catholic poet St. John of the Cross. John describes the concept in his treatise Dark Night (Noche Oscura), a commentary on his poem…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Night_of_the_Soul
Southward on the 77 is a string of storied cities and towns that have their own mixed-reality tales: Corning NY, aka “The Crystal City” of glass-maker fame, including light bulbs for Edison, fused quartz lab glass, optical fiber and ‘life science’ genetic materials– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corning_Inc. In 2011, Corning acquired a 6.5 (=11) share in the Israeli tech Mobile Access Networks (distributed antenna systems) to partner its telecom holdings with MAN. Corning also commands a 77-placed industrial unit in Wilmington North Carolina (Cape Fear) ; Elmira NY, where ‘writer’ Jane Roberts became a regular spirit-channel for an entity called Seth (video link) in 1963– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejH4G4I52tQ Continuing into Pennsylvania down the Susquehanna River which flows to Harrisburg and passes the infamous Three Mile Island reactors, the meridian maintains its line toward Raven Rock and crosses into Maryland. Of note south of Washington DC is Culpeper Virginia, host to a Federal Reserve bunker and an unusual, stowed-away cache of secret documents from an undeclared intelligence outfit known as The Pond (see the Blog Index for Lewis Strauss and JFK). The line cuts through Richmond, Sussex, and Courtland—Courtland being the smallest but most accurately situated on the 77 map, the town was formerly named Jerusalem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtland%2C_Virginia. The line passes through North Carolina and goes offshore near the border of South Carolina at New Bern, the post-Revolution capitol of North Carolina for 22 years (1770-1792) until the State moved its headquarters to Raleigh. Offshore, the 77 clips the eastern Bermuda Triangle, beelines for the Bahamas, Cuba and Jamaica before it lands in Colombia near the Panama isthmus.
I can hardly think of a subject that needs and deserves an extraordinary essay as much as this one. In all my reading of late, no concept taps at the essence of occult development more than the idea of “scientific inquiry” transforming men into gods. And no time seems more dangerously prophetic in attempting to fulfill that transition than the present. But alas, this is not that essay and I am not that writer. True to form, though, I can still take steps toward better elucidation. The upside of all the reading and research going into my “books” is a swimming collection of quotes. I’m a quote junkie now. C’mon share the pain.

“..early in May 1912 Weizmann wrote to Judah Leon Magnes, outlining a new scheme. Weizmann had just read in the press that Mr. Nathan Straus, a German-born philanthropist now residing in New York, had established in Hadera (Palestine) a health station under the direction of Dr. Wilhelm Bruenn… Weizmann suggested the following: Why not combine the various projects into one big institute, ‘something like a small Pasteur Institute…Such an institute could fulfill two functions: a teaching institute and a research institute, and could develop into the nucleus of the great Jewish research centers of the future.’ …In short, such a project would consolidate all the small scientific enterprises in Palestine… Moreover, Baron Edmond de Rothschild was moving closer to Zionism…’but it is up to us to steer him in this direction’ [he wrote]… the baron was indeed prepared to cooperate with the Zionist movement… Weizmann did not waste a minute…[H]e called on Leopold Landau, a gynecologist in Berlin..[and] relative of Paul Erhlich, one of Germany’s most eminent scientists… Weizmann met Erhlich in the latter’s laboratory on March 10, 1913..[and] won over an important new ally… Weizmann [then] returned to Manchester full of energy. His friends on the Continent and in England promised their full support and he felt that his moment had come. ‘The movement has begun to smack of gunpowder,’ he wrote [to his wife] Vera, ..’I feel that I don’t belong to Manchester at all. Everything here is temporary and alien… To my way of thinking, this is the one slogan that can evoke a response just now –the Hebrew University. DieZionsuniversitat auf dem Berge Zion! The Third Temple!’ ” –(Weizmann biographer) Jehudah Reinharz, Chaim Weizmann, The Making of a Zionist Leader, pp 375-378

“Emerson said that an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man, and the [Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research] did reflect Simon Flexner… Flexner made Rockefeller sharp, edgy, cold… The room most feared in the institute was Flexner’s office. He could be brutal there, and several prominent scientists were afraid of him… He sought attention for the institute from the press and credit from the scientific community. His own work created controversy… The result was a publicity machine. Highly respected investigators mocked the institute for, said one who himself spent time there, ‘frequent ballyhoo of unimportant stuff as the work of genius’… Flexner..wanted the institute to become a living thing… It was a place of excitement, of near holiness… Flexner, [Peyton] Rous said, made the institute ‘an organism, not an establishment.’ ” –(historical writer) John Barry, The Great Influenza, pp 75-78
“Science would be the magic wand waved over any project… In 1917, when advising his father to pump another fifty million dollars into the RIMR, Junior explained his preference for medicine: ‘This is a field in which there can be no controversy, so that I think the possibility of criticism as regards the use of the fund or its potential dangers would be almost nothing. There is no limit to the development of medical work.’ ” –(John D. Rockefeller biographer) Ron Chernow, Titan, p568

“Our society, in which reigns an eager desire for riches and luxury, does not understand the value of science. It does not realize that science is a most precious part of its moral patrimony… Neither public powers nor private generosity actually accord to science and to scientists the support and the subsidies indispensable to fully effective work.” –Marie Curie, 1923
The oral history of radium/uranium dealer Boris Pregel, Manhattan Project supplier : “..The centralization was at the Institute Curie… It was also a kind of scientific monopoly. They did the whole thing… they were the most important… In fact, the Institute of the Curies had tremendous quantities of radium all along… That’s why later also, when Joliot-Curie and Halban and Kowarski wanted to discuss the..application of atomic energy, they were received very well… [A] lot of the most important work was done in France, because of the establishment of the Institute” http://www.aip.org/history/ohilist/4833.html

“The society of experts which I am imagining will embrace all eminent men of science… It will possess the sole up-to-date armaments and will be the repository of all new secrets in the art of war. There will therefore be no more war since resistence by the unscientific will be doomed to obvious failure. The society of experts will control propaganda and education. It will teach loyalty to the world government and make nationalism high treason. The government… will instill submissiveness into the great bulk of the population… It is possible that it may invent ingenious ways of concealing its own power, leaving the forms of democracy intact and allowing the plutocrats to imagine that they are cleverly controlling these forms. Gradually, however, as the plutocrats become stupid through laziness, they will lose their wealth; it will pass more and more into public ownership and be controlled by the government of experts. Thus whatever the outward forms may be, all real power will come to be concentrated in the hands of those who understand the art of scientific manipulation.” –Bertrand Russell, The Scientific Outlook, 1931

“The Public Health Law posits…that government has both the power and the duty to regulate private behavior in order to promote public health. The constitutional source of this authority is the police power which encompasses both directly coercive interventions and policies such as taxes and subsidies that shape behavior by altering the costs of certain choices.” –New England Journal of Medicine, 2003

“Judaism is not a creed: the Jewish God is simply a negation of superstition… It is also an attempt to base the moral law on fear,… regrettable… Yet it seems to me that the strong moral tradition of the Jewish nation has to a large extent shaken itself free from this fear… Judaism is thus no transcendental religion… It seems to me, therefore, doubtful whether it can be called a religion in the accepted sense of the word, particularly as no ‘faith’ but the sanctification of life in a supra-personal sense is demanded of the Jew… [T]he Jewish tradition also contains something else …a sort of intoxicated joy and amazement at the beauty and grandeur of this world… This joy is the feeling from which true scientific research draws its spiritual sustenance… To tack this feeling to the idea of God seems mere childish absurdity… In its pure form, it is nowhere to be found, not even in Judaism where the pure doctrine is obscured by much worship of the letter. Yet Judaism seems to me one of its purest and most vigorous manifestations. This applies particularly to the fundamental principle of the sanctification of life.”….. “The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice and the desire for personal independence –these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it… we shall continue not merely to survive as the oldest of living peoples, but by creative work to bring forth fruits which contribute.. as heretofore… We must be conscious of our alien race and draw the logical conclusions from it…” –Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions, p184-186, 1934

“[Jonas] Salk dreamed of organizing his own Institute for Experimental Medicine, and in May of 1957, he drew up what he called its “Magna Carta”. He gave it the loftiest of goals, not merely to cure disease but to address ‘the problems of humanity that are the most important of the day’…he imagined an alliance of like-minded colleagues who valued ‘the freedom, integrity, and independence of the individual’ at a scale that preserved ‘flexibility and freedom’ and rewarded ‘boldness and courage’. Unlike traditional research insitutes, this one would include humanists as well as scientists…Its senior members would be fellows for life, a self-governing body..with ‘unencumbered time for contemplation and for action’… Following the Rockefeller Institute’s example, Salk would build his institute…’A shot in the light’ Salk called it.”…”In December 1959, Salk and architect Louis Kahn began a unique partnership to design such a facility… The buildings soon gained international fame for their dramatic and innovative design…“the modern equivalent of a temple of Zeus beside the Aegean”…Deliberately elitist, the Salk Institute would free its half dozen or so fellows from grant-writing, teaching, and administrative distractions. As masters of their own laboratories, the fellows could set independent research agendas. Salk, directly inspired by the cloister of St. Francis of Assisi and by its carceri (cells), provided the fellows with individual studies, places for reflection connected to, and yet buffered from, the bustle of laboratory life.” –quotes referenced at www.polioforever.wordpress.com/salk-institute
