V/H/S/Beyond

The wraparound is a mockumentary about vhs tapes containing proof of alien activity that an anonymous Redditor came across, the footage of which has been digitized and is now being shown to us. I was honestly concerned about how they were going to handle the "sci-fi" theme because some part of me in the back of my mind is always afraid of a repeat of V/H/S: Viral.

I'm not in love with straying from the found footage roots and how crisp and clean the first vignette looks with obvious cinematic cuts, but I'm willing to hear it out. A rash of babynapping has led to a team of cops infiltrating a dilapidated manor infested with zombies.

Well, this is a better Resident Evil than the actual Resident Evil films.

That baby is obviously a dummy, which would have been obscured a little better if this "body cam footage" wasn't quite so 4K high-definition. To be fair though, Dead Meat's new video on V/H/S/94 let it slip that Shudder has guidelines for the look and feel of original content. So that's a pill that just needs to be swallowed.

BIG BIRD!?

So the wraparound is giving lore about the home in the first vignette, interesting. I wonder if that means all of the segments are about...nope, now we're following Indian paparazzi as they hound a movie star with a mysterious past.

Oh, that went from 0 to 100.

This actually has some moments of found footage style, which I was hoping to see. In general, I liked this one more than I thought I would. When we actually got a clear look at Tara's face, it was a lot less mechanical than I expected. I figured we were doing a full T-1000.

Now we got a group of skydivers celebrating their friend's birthday, and this is definitely doing a better job at the notion of being amateur footage by someone fucking around with a camera. Even if the quality is still too "clean".

Oh shit, oh fuck.

Well, once again, the cinematographic vibe got "better" once shit hit the fan.

Oh dear god, I thought he just pulled his cord too late. I didn't know his friend saved him and...oh, god. I don't know what James A. Janisse will think, but that's my pick for Golden Chainsaw right now.

Oh, this is the most gruesome vignette by far, and all of it is completely realistic so far. Besides a UFO causing the plane to crash, I mean.

Now THIS reminds me of the franchise's roots. We did it, chat. We got a slam dunk with this V/H/S film.

Laser beam face and electric wrist needles does seem like a bit of an overkill tbh. I would have been fine with the alien just using its bare hands. You don't need to put in more work to win me over, I promise.

DUDE USE THE FINGERS YOU HAVE LEFT

Oh. now they're getting meta with the commentary.

Next up, we have a group of animal rights extremists infiltrating a doggy day care because they consider the owner's taxidermies to be "mutilated corpses".

Where'd the third one go?

Oh, something "extra special", huh?

Yeah, all the dogs being boarded in a creepy basement that includes her taxidermy station definitely doesn't raise a red flag or two.

Good lord, Tusk wishes it was this.

I'm not sure if I loved how the...umm..."fur babies" looked, especially in the shots where it was obviously just a person since the shots using a puppet made the limb proportions look way different. But the concept behind this entire vignette was horrific in the best way. I was not expecting this film to go the places it has gone. However, I'm not sure "reconstructive surgery to turn people into dogs" actually counts as sci-fi. I was expecting the woman to be an alien in disguise.

Now an intrepid independent reporter is interviewing people who saw lights in the Mojave desert.

I don't know what I'm looking at here, some sort of string instrument-based operating system for a UFO? Nanomachines that heal injuries?

Oh no, if the aliens and animals were put in stasis for the space journey and she's just rawdogging it, what's going to happen?

Getting maimed on the strings and being reconstructed by the nanites that don't have a genetic template for humans so they're filling in the gaps with lizard, octopus, and tarantula. Good lord, I knew they wouldn't go out on a weak note.

Wait, the vignettes weren't the tapes? Then what were we watching this whole time? What are they about to show us??

Whew. Alright. Well, as I said earlier, Live and Let Dive was my favorite segment even thought it did get a little "too much" towards the end.

FUR BABIES WAS MADE BY JUSTIN LONG!? IT ACTUALLY WAS A TUSK REFERENCE!?

Chinese Spy Balloon Drifts Over U.S.

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Feb. 3, 2023.--Drifting over parts of the United States at 50,000 feet, including over U.S. nuclear silos in Montana, an unidentified Chinese Foreign Object raised red flags in the Pentagon, not buying the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] explanation that the massive object was monitoring weather patterns.  President Joe Biden, 80, was informed Feb. 1, deciding to let the UFO continue what the Chinese government said was an aimless path, concluding that it couldn’t pick up significant intel.  When the so called mammoth balloon, two school buses in length and girth, drifted over Montan’s Malmstrom Air Force Base housing nuclear warheads, 69-year-old Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and 64-year-old Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Miley took notice.  Austin and Miley cautioned Biden about shooting down the spy balloon, fearing the debris field could endanger U.S. citizens.

U.S.-Chinese relations have been at lowest level in decades, cautioning Biden about taking any aggressive action.  Biden infuriated 69-year-old Chinese President Xi Jinping Sept. 23, 2022 saying he would defend Taiwan with U.S. troops in the event China tried to seize the democratic island of 40 million by force.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken, 60, postponed his trip to Beijing, calling Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Li to reschedule.  Chinese officials insisted the airship was a weather balloon, accidentally drifting out of its trajectory due to the Jet Stream. Hard to imagine after flying over Montana heading eastbound, there’s much population to be concerned about should the Pentagon decide to shoot down the balloon.  U.S. officials, speaking anonymously, said the Pentagon wanted to keep communication lines open without shooting down the spy ship.

Talking about the balloon’s limited navigation undermine the fact that the balloon continues to track its way into the Midwest, also home to several military bases.  “The idea that Communist China has a spy balloon headed towards Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri right now—the home of the Stealth Bomber—is absolutely unbelievable,” said Sen. Eric Schmidt (R-Mo.).  “No American should accept this. I don’t,” said Schmidt, encouraging Biden to shoot it down.  Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, refuses to say whether there were any plans to shoot down the Chinese spy ship. Ryder said he didn’t think the balloon posed a threat to U.S. national security.  If the U.S. pulled the same stunt over Beijing, the CCP wouldn’t hesitate one second to shoot it down.  Doing nothing sends a strong message to Beijing about the extent of Biden’s and Pentagon’s hesitancy.

No one believes the CCP explanation of a weather balloon gone adrift because of the Jet Stream.  Traveling from the Peoples Republic of China, the balloon had plenty of random drift to veer away from the U.S. mainland.  China’s account of wind patters AKA the Westerlies was entirely feasible to Dan Jaffe, professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of Washington.  Jaffe doesn’t know the extent of the GPS navigational system on the behemoth spy ship, now heading toward other strategic U.S. military bases.  White House officials are flummoxed over what to do, knowing that diplomatic relations with China are near the breaking point over Taiwan among other things.  White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierred said that “the presence of this balloon in our air space . . . is a clear violation of our sovereignty as well as international law and it is unacceptable this occurred.”

Blinken and Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman both protested to a top Chinese embassy official Wednesday, one day before the White House went public with the event.  Blinken and Sherman hoped that the spy ship incident would open up discussions about Taiwan, human rights, China’s claims in the South China Sea, North Korea, Russia’s War in Ukraine, trade policy and climate.  How could Blinken think that the U.S. has leverage on Beijing to discuss anything other than why Beijing sent an unlawful spy ship over the United States?  Whatever other issues exist with Beijing, they’re not going to be salvaged because the U.S. didn’t shoot down the Chinese spy balloon.  China wants the U.S. to stop meddling in its internal affairs especially over Taiwan and what happens in the South China Sea.  Blinken already provoked Beijing over human right abuses.

Failing to shoot down the Chinese spy ship speaks volumes about the current state of diplomacy with Communist China.  Biden brought the two nations to near blows over violating the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, requiring the U.S. to recognize only one China, the one in Beijing, but, more importantly, end the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty.  Biden told Xi he would defend Taiwan with U.S. troops.  What kind of world does Blinken live in thinking the Chinese weather balloon has anything to do with the Ukraine War?  Failing to act on the spy ship tells the CCP all they need to know under Biden’s leadership:  That the U.S. is bluffing about military action.  Former President Donald Trump, 76, has said repeatedly that foreign adversaries do not respect Biden.  When it comes to a Chinese spy ship, Biden had only one appropriate option, to shoot down the Unknown Chinese spy ship.

I saw your Scarlet and Violet theory and I wanted to know your thoughts on this. The Scarlet dex entries for the Violet paradoxes all suggest that they were from some sort of paranormal magazine. To me that further proves that they’re just a figment of their imagination.

Here’s an example with Iron Hands dex entry from Scarlet:

It is very similar to a cyborg covered exclusively by a paranormal magazine. The cyborg was said to be the modified form of a certain athlete.

It’s almost like they’re crypids. No one knows if they exist and it’s only speculation.

First of all, thank you very much for sharing this with me!

I completely agree with you, in both games the Paradoxes of the opposite version are described in the Pokédex as creatures that are "suspiciously" similar to what is described in a paranormal magazine with no actual proof of existence or reliability whatsoever. Some of these are straight up conspiracy theories like Iron Moth being described as a UFO sent to spy on humanity in Pokémon Scarlet (LMAO). Another absurd example is Scream Tail described as existing one billion years ago while the first Pokémons that crossed the Earth (aside from Legendaries, of course), aka the Fossils, are dated 300 million years ago.

We can clearly say that we cannot trust that magazine and nothing matches up at all, maybe the purpose itself of this infamous and dubious magazine is to raise a red flag for the player alongside Arven's line about everything not adding up with the time machine.

So yeah, I believe that us "the Paradoxes are figments of imagination" believers are on the right track, and the third legendary will be the key of everything, we'll just have to see what Game Freak has in for us and personally speaking I'm very excited!

happy birthday @manesalex ​ !!! sorry it’s kinda late, I took two naps today askjdfals

“Just go over there.”

“What? No! That’s weird.”

“How?”

Michael shrugged Isobel off his shoulder and looked back at his sketchpad that was a spaceship design he was beginning to think wouldn’t work. However, his eyes drifted back up and over to where Alex was sitting under a tree by himself with a book in hand. It was almost too picturesque to be true. But there he was.

“I barely know the guy,” Michael said. He still bit into his thumb as he watched Alex stretch his neck by leaning his head to one shoulder and then the other. What the fuck. 

“What do you mean you barely know the guy? You sat next to him for four years and talked to him nearly every day,” Isobel scoffed. Michael rolled his eyes. “Plus I know you have a thing for him.”

“I do not have a‒”

“You’re a lot of things, but a good liar isn’t one of them,” Isobel said. Michael glared at her, but she grinned as she reached into her picnic basket and pulled out two oranges. “Go offer him one.”

“I don’t want to interrupt him. What if he’s super into his book?” Michael asked.

“Michael, it’s now or never. You’re about to go to college. Might as well try to get laid before you go by the hot emo kid,” Isobel said, handing him the oranges and then nodding over at him. He really, really did not want to bother him.

And yet he really, really did.

So, with the constant reminder that he was going to be leaving town relatively soon and if this went horribly he could just forget it ever happened, he made his way over to Alex Manes. The worst thing that could happen is he says no. Or laughs in your face. Or spits on you. 

“Hey,” Michael said, trying to casually throw one of the oranges up in the air. He very not casually missed it and watched in horror as it fell into Alex’s book. Though, he supposed that was better than actually hitting Alex with it. 

“Hey to you too,” Alex laughed, looking up at him with a brighter smile than he’d had in probably all of high school. It was almost jarring. “You want this back?”

“I was gonna offer it to you, but I guess it already decided it belonged to you,” Michael said. Play it cool.

“Oh,” Alex said, folding the corner to mark his page before closing his book and readjusting to sit up straight. “Did you wanna… like, sit with me? Or are you busy, ‘cause‒”

“I’ll sit,” Michael said and did his best not to think too far into it. Namely hoping not to think about the fact that Isobel was probably making embarrassing facial expressions behind him.

Michael sat criss-cross beside Alex and dug his thumb into his orange, ripping the rind off in pieces. He was perfectly content doing that until he heard Alex laughing under his breath. When he looked up, he saw Alex half-way through peeling the orange in one long strip.

“What the fuck, how are you doing that?” Michael asked, scooting closer without even thinking.

“It’s easy, you just sort of use your thumb to make a little circle around the top right here and then slowly guide it,” Alex said, his long fingers twisting the orange in his hands as he continued to peel it, “Less messy.”

“Man, didn’t know you were gonna make me seem so dumb just by sitting near you for five seconds,” Michael teased. Alex rolled his eyes and nudged his knee into Michael’s.

“You’re one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, you’re just impatient when it comes to orange peeling, I guess,” Alex said. Michael bit back a smile.

“Oh yeah? Well, you’re pretty smart too.”

“I’m not the one who got a full ride to UNM,” Alex pointed out. Michael raised an eyebrow.

“You heard about that?”

“Yeah, I never got the chance to say congrats. So… congrats,” Alex said, gently putting the single long strip of orange peel down on the ground and plucking out a wedge.

“Thanks,” Michael said, “So, uh, are you going to college? Or are you doing something else? Gonna go busk in LA, maybe?”

Alex shrugged, taking a bite out of the wedge before his tongue swiped over his bottom lip to catch any juice. If Michael’s brain short circuited for a moment, it managed to go unnoticed. Who allowed someone who looked like that to just exist in everyday life? He seemed unreal.

“Still weighing my options,” Alex said, looking over at Michael with mirth in his eyes, “But don’t be surprised if you see me around campus, okay?”

Michael straightened up a bit and his eyes widened. “Oh. Awesome. That’s‒We should, like, get coffee together.”

“Yeah,” Alex agreed, nodding his head, “We should.”

Michael felt like his body was on fire as he watched Alex take another bite all while thinking of casually getting coffee with him on a college campus. That was straight out of a YA novel. That was so normal. Could he be normal with Alex? Could he actually have that? 

“Maybe, um,” Alex said, shrugging again, “If you’re free, we could get coffee together before? Like… tomorrow, if you’re not busy?”

Michael stared at him for a moment, lips parted as he processed what he was saying. Coffee. Together. On purpose. Tomorrow. When Alex glanced back up at him, he was smiling still. All wide and pretty and impressive and what the fuck.

“Like, for real?”

“What do you mean? Yeah, for real,” Alex said, laughing warmly. Surely Michael was melting into the grass by now.

“Like… a date?” Michael asked. Alex looked back down at his orange as his cheeks turned a shade of red.

“I mean, yeah, if you want.”

“Yes!” Michael said a little too loudly, “I mean, yeah, sure, sounds cool.”

“You’re such a dork,” Alex laughed, grabbing one of his ripped off pieces of orange peel and throwing it at him.

“Hey, don’t throw things at me,” Michael said, throwing a different piece at him. 

Alex’s laughter grew as he threw another piece and then another, another, until he called a ceasefire.

“Okay! White flag,” Alex told him. Michael held up his hands in surrender, though his heart was going wild in his chest. Four years sitting next to Alex and it’d never felt this easy. Was that what came with a date with him? How many was he going to get? “You haven’t even eaten any of your orange yet.”

And before he could even process it, Alex held out an orange wedge. Michael raised his hand to grab it from him, but Alex tilted his head and raised an eyebrow as if that’s not what he was suggesting. Slowly, to make sure he wasn’t completely wrong, Michael leaned forward and opened his mouth. Then Alex pushed it past his lips, the pads of his fingers touching them before he moved his hand to Michael’s jaw to make him close his mouth. That was enough to make his brain actually stop functioning.

“Are you gonna chew or are you planning on choking?” Alex asked softly. Michael slowly started to remember how to eat and chewed slowly, eyes never leaving Alex’s.

He waited until he swallowed it to speak, thankfully.

“I really wanna get coffee with you. More than once,” he said. Alex smiled.

“Good. Because so do I.”

By the time Alex had to leave for his shift at the UFO Emporium, Michael was ready to bow down to Isobel for making him go over there in the first place.

UFO In Historical Film Of Flag Raising on Iwo Jima, Feb 23, 1945, ,UFO Sighting News.

Published on 1 Jan 2021

Date of sighting: Feb 23, 2020

Location of sighting: Iwo Jima

Source: US National Archives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEg9a...

I was looking at old historical film archives and found this one that really grabbed my attention. Not only is there a UFO that flies past the most memorable and historical moment of the Iwo Jima battle, but as it flies past, the soldiers turn from looking at the flag to looking at the UFO and then its cut out! There is 10-30 seconds missing from this historical film! Why? Because someone else also saw it and wanted to remove it from US history. However they did a poor job and the cut is not only deliberate, but obvious to all who see it.

jazzhandsmcleg replied to your post:

any word on why the visitors’ center looks like a UFO?

Yes, as a matter of fact! The building is a repurposed storm signal; during periods of really wild weather they would raise a flag or some kind of windsock on the flagpole to signal to people out at sea that it was unsafe to try and come into the harbour. Accordingly it’s compact but really, really solid (the walls are about three feet of solid concrete) to stand up to said weather.

Repo Man

Director Alex Cox Stars Emilio Estevez, Harry Dean Stanton, Olivia Barash USA 1984 Language English, a bit of Spanish 1hr 32mins Colour 

‘You're a white suburban punk just like me’

This might be the film that most influenced what I came to want and expect from new movies in my late teens, early twenties and probably beyond. I was just about to turn 14 when it came out, and while I loved old movies (Astaire and Rogers, Casablanca) and Raiders Of The Lost Ark*, I guess I was looking something of the moment, and maybe something that felt mine in a way. And Repo Man got there before (and set me up for?) other key movies of my adolescence: Raising Arizona (which has moments that feel fairly similar), Blue Velvet, Down By Law, She’s Gotta Have It, Heathers… It feels curious, somehow, that it was directed by a bloke from Liverpool, as well as being exec produced by my favourite Monkee, Michael Nesmith. Why does that feel curious to me? Maybe because big movies set in the US can be directed by people from anywhere, but smaller ones we associate with locals?

It was also the first film I saw that was shot by Robby Müller, and I’m guessing that at least 20% of the times I praise the look of a movie, all I really mean is ‘The cinematography looks a bit like Robby Müller did it.’ There’s a great dustiness to the film, a fairly particular take on LA, and some unexpected moments of calm and beauty amid the noise and scuzz.

If you haven’t seen it – and apologies for the self-indulgence and taking so long to get to the ‘about’ bit – Repo Man has two storylines that weave in and out of each other. The one we get to second focuses on Otto (Emilio Estevez), a frustrated and bored suburban punk who accidentally ends up working for a car repossession company and being mentored by Bud (Harry Dean Stanton). His initial contempt gives way and soon he’s despiked his hair, is wearing a suit and is fully immersed in the firm’s bitter rivalry with Los Hermanos Rodriguez. 

Meanwhile, a strange man has driven into town in a 1960s Chevy Malibu with something weird and glowing in the trunk.* On his trail is both a mysterious government agency and local UFO enthusiasts, including Leila (Olivia Barash), who lets Otto pick her up. Assorted characters, including a bunch of Otto’s old punk mates who are now armed robbers, briefly have the Malibu in their possession. 

There’s a nice balance between the kid-learning-his-sleazy-trade-from-cynical-old-hands bit and the weirder stuff. Crucially, it’s all funny and all ties together. Cox does a great job of constructing his own particular world, with great touches like the super-generic packaging in the supermarkets and liquor stores where most things seem to be simply labelled Food or Drink. 

Bud is one of the classic Harry Dean Stanton roles, and Emilio Estevez is well cast as the not-all-that-sympathetic Otto. But what you want from this kind of movie is lots of distinctive minor characters, and Repo Man certainly has that, from the repo guys, including Miller (Tracey Walter) and Lite (Sy Richardson), to punks Duke (Dick Rude) and Debbi (Jennifer Balgobin) and the creepy blond federal agents. 

LA ska revival pioneers The Untouchables have a cameo as a scooter gang and hardcore punks The Circle Jerks play a lounge version of themselves, and there’s a terrific theme tune by Iggy Pop. But my favourite musical moment in the movie is Otto sitting by himself in the middle of nowhere singing Black Flag’s classic TV Party.

Watching Repo Man again, I caught myself wondering: ‘Does Alex Cox wake up thinking, “How did the Coen Brothers nick my career?”’ The answer being, of course, that Coens made a bunch of great films and Cox – as far as anyone I know knows – never came close to Repo Man again. I can’t say that definitively, because I’ve only seen a few of the many films he’s made in the years since, but none of them has a dazzling reputation. (Do let me know if any of them are worth checking out.)  He did do a fine job presenting the BBC’s (much-missed) cult film slot Moviedrome in the late 1980s/early 1990s, for which I’ll be forever grateful.  *‘Yeah, yeah, Mr Indie Movie Hipster, but what about John Hughes movies, which you were obviously into?’ That’s true, but I’m pretty sure I saw Repo Man before I saw The Breakfast Club, and I hadn’t seen Sixteen Candles, so, yeah, I am pretty sure I saw Repo Man before I ever watched a John Hughes film.

**If you’re thinking, ‘Hang on, this is few years before Pulp Fiction,' I should point out that both films were decades after the great Kiss Me Deadly. This is part of my ‘Every girl should be given an electric guitar on her 16th birthday’ series of reviews about early/mid 1980s movies

Mystery Babylon Revisited 03: Notes from “Egyptian Magic”

Part 3 of Bill Cooper’s Mystery Babylon series:

These are not the beliefs of Bill Cooper or myself. These are the beliefs of the mysteries schools that make up what is known as, “Mystery Babylon” or the Babylonian religions.

Notes Below:

Mystery Babylon: Hour 03, Egyptian Magic [Bill Cooper’s “The Hour of the Time” Radio Broadcast]

“These are historic broadcasts, and by making these broadcasts, I have sealed my fate.”

Intro: More on the Sun

The sun enter each house of the zodiac at the 30th degree, and leaves in the 33rd.

A Freemason is not told the truth about the object of his worship until he obtains the 30th degree.

Thus Gods Sun is said to enter into his ministry at 30 and dies at 33.

This is why the 33rd degree is the highest, because no man can be higher than the Sun.

background lore

When viewing the Sun’s reflection on the water at dawn or sunset, you are witnessing the Sun walking on water.

Ancient man believed the Sun controlled the weather.

God’s Sun did this as he crossed the sky in his boat.

The boat of Isis.

Ra the sun god a.k.a. Osiris, wears a sun disk on his head.

symbolizing his power in the heavens

the boat is made of a serpent and bears his eye

seated on a pedestal representing Maet, or divine order.

Every king, prince, lord, dictator, national flag, coat of arms, citation, etc... uses the sun as a primary symbol.

Thus God’s Sun is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

They see Christianity as a perversion of these mysteries.

in ancient times, months followed the phases of the moon.

The scorpion betrays the Sun in autumn

The original October surprise.

Thirty moons of silver.

Scorpion: Judas

1307, Oct 13th in France, more on this later

Earth is considered the Mother

Rain is the fertilizing agent from the Father in Heaven

Intercourse between Earth and Heaven

The Canaan fertility rite: The Marriage Feast of Canaan.

over 5,000 years old

Egyptian Magic Background

Reiteration of Sun mythology

The child Horus was called the Logos: the Word

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

The only begotten of the Father

The Word was lost.

The symbol of the Word today is the Obelisk.

The stone

The lost word of Freemasonry (more later)

Horus was later in Egyptian history was given another name: Isos/Isis: Jesus

If you want to follow the life of God’s Sun

You must follow the Sun/ face to the east

You must be born again

A former president did not directly claim to be a Christian, but to have been born again.

Life is symbolized by coming out of the water.

They hate Christians

and you are in danger

Old Testament:

Malaki: God is the Sun with healing in his wings.

Mathew and Luke: God’s Sun wanting to gather all under his wings

In ancient Egypt pictured the sun with wings

Jeremiah: God the Potter

Isaiah: You are the Potter, we are the clay

UFOs

The images of “winged craft” depict the Sun

Ancient alien theory and UFO theories is compromised by masonic forces.

Man is considered sheep/flock

Kings: sheperds

Sheep:

blindly follow

born to be fleeced

lead to the slaughter

the skin is worn about the Freemason’s waist

the 23rd Psalm: go to sleep

Rod and Staff

Pharaohs wore the symbol of the rod and the staff on their chest.

The rod to beat with

The staff to lead

Note: Bill Cooper’s informants have infiltrated the lodge.

The god Nimu fashioned man from clay.

in some depiction Thoth is pictured also, marking the length of man’s life on a staff.

Morning Sun: Horus; At high noon: Aman-Ra

Called in 2 Corr, and other places, God is still called Amen.

Amon was said at the end of their prayers.

Reminder: We have only just begun to uncover the worship of Ba’al or Baal or B’el

Ba: the Sun

al/el: god

Reminder: Wake Up Now.

Bill states his allegiances

God

Family

State

If you stand for nothing, you are already dead.

Egyptian Magic Continued

The use of magic is expressed in the Osirian Cycle

The redemption of the human soul

Isis was the patroness of the arts of Egyptian Magic

Applies the most potent charm when she resurrected Osiris

The gods of Egypt were part of a magical system

A cerimonial Kaballah

an elaborate metaphysical system

Egyptologist have no clue

Call them superstition

The Curse of Aman-Ra

The opening of King Tut’s Tomb

All but one who entered the cursed tomb died within a year

7 french authors and journalists died within 2 years of the visit.

A mark was found on the mummies face

a similar mark appeared on one of the tomb’s openers

Over the entrance of the Tomb was a magical tablet: The Stella of Malediction

O ye beings from Above;

O ye beings from Below;

Phantoms riding the breaths of men;

Ye of the crossroads and of the great highways;

Wanders beneath the shade of Night;

And ye from the abysses of the West on the fringes of the twilight;

Dwellers in the caverns of obscurity who rouse terrors and shuttering;

And ye walkers by night whom I will not name, friends of the moon;

and ye intangible inhabitants of the world of Night;

O people, O denizens of the tombs, all of you approach and be my witnesses and respondents,

Let the hand raised against my form be withered;

Let them be destroyed who attack my name, my foundation, my effigies, the images like unto me.

If Egypt’s magic gave them power over nature’s laws can we take them lightly?

Also look into the Cleopatra Tomb Curse.

After news of the curse, collectors of Egyptian artifacts began to send them into the British museums.

Few articles received had a return address or name.

“Scare gifts”

The priestess of Aman-Ra

Pictures taken of the Casket placed in a cabinet

the glass turned to dust

They found what was assumed to be a poisonous dust.

Although it defies analysis

Later it was blamed on a virus

Egyptians inherited the religion of Babylon.

Mystery Babylon

The Ancient Mystery Schools claim to have brought some of this forward

The Bible speaks of Pharaoh’s priest turning staves into snakes

Magic is to old to be explained away by tricks

highly educated scientific men

psychological impression

sent spirits forth from the body

read the secrets of the soul

employed music

perfected embalming the dead

Priests said to possess these power

walk the air

handle fire

live under water

read the past

see the future

harmlessly suffer mutilation

make themselves invisible

cure disease

Compare to Mystics of Tibet

tree withered by a pointed finger

dead raised to life

man surrounded by a blue aura

man lifted into the air by pure mental effort

Plato and Pythagorus were initiated into the Egyptian Mysteries

They said that the initiated priest was able to manipulate the seen and unseen to his will

the highest form of magic was the worship of the gods

able to ascend to a higher state and understanding in which high feats of magic were possible

Alister Crowley said the same thing.

Gen. Pike: the absolute science of nature and it’s laws

from this knowledge arises occult science

from this knowledge arises the theurgic arts

(more on Albert Pike later)

Men like Crowley have proven that the Mysteries have been passed down through the ages.

These arts are kept by those who call themselves the Guardians of the Secrets of the Ages.

“Just Wake Up”
