Why this review is necessary
PART TWO
So what was really going on behind this “unified code theory,” which those of us in that alternative world were circulating, and grabbing onto? Were these real phenomena? Was it all coincidence? And if it was real or partially real then who or what was behind it? What was the mechanism? These were the questions we grappled with.
My past self saw, felt, intuited that there was a deep substructure of reality which really worked in symbol in this way, but also that there was an evil elite world order who are using these patterns to control. This addition was to explain things like a movie phenomenon or shootings all linking up with sacred geometrical and numerological patterns which stacked up beyond reasonable ability to simply disregard them as coincidence. I was following guys like XLVIII Finis Temporance, Jason Bickford, Marty Leeds, Gematrinator Derek, Santos Bonacci, Truthiracy, Eric Dubay, Donald Marshall and Aug Tellez…They all had their angles. I took all these guys in and integrated them into my own web of meaning.
Yes, I still think that there is a deep substructure to reality which speaks in code and riddles and pattern and number and sacred geometry, but this can be allowed without having to make the assumption that the world is tightly controlled and orchestrated by a hidden group. How could this be? How could the directors and writers be putting all these patterns in all the movies and shows without occult collaboration?
The answer is that symbols cluster together in the same way that meaning is created via dreams. In Steiner language this is the astral world having its own kind of innate intelligence or living substance, spiritual substance. Jung might call it the collective unconscious, but I’m not crazy about that term because it’s not really unconscious, its more alive than that, although it does have a certain automatic, rhythmic quality in the same way that nature carries its own patterns that can be mapped, and turned into a science. So too does the logic of dreams and the astral world have their own kind of interior logic and so of course directors and writers are going want to access that when they are composing because this is going to resonate with everybody and resonance sells.
Now does that mean that they are all working together? That they have full knowledge of how this deep structure works? It could be a case here of irreducible complexity, where we have to settle for a certain agnosticism… some may have partial knowledge. Some may be working in the dark and stumbling upon things intuitively or almost by accident. Others may be copying existing phenomena as a kind of copycat effect, and yes, some may even be simple coincidence due to pattern amplification, so it’s a mixture. Pattern amplication is when a writer puts enough archetypes and occult symbols together in the tapestry that makes up a film or show that the viewer will naturally put some together and form connections that seem meaningful in their own life, but were not intended that way specifically by the writer. The Matrix or Back To The Future or any film by Christopher Nolan are prime examples.
But my past self may beg the question, what about the phenomenon of predictive programming (unlikely symbol clusters for events that had yet to occur), the prime example being 911? Clusters of twin towers, planes, destruction, the actual numbers nine and eleven, appearing in movies and comic books and album covers long before 9/11/2001?
But now I posit that the astral world has a certain predictive quality. Dreams can sometimes be eerily prophetic as well. Does that mean that they’re actually looking into the future or does it mean that these predictions are more like pre-configurations: what happens when a series of probabilities collapse into a single probability and that event then seems fated. The living astral substance can show us what will happen if the I presence does not take hold. This can be on the individual level (dreams, intuitions) or collective level – the so-called “predictive programming” phenomenon. A major collective trauma like 9/11 may send its ripples, its shadows, ahead of itself in time. Doesn’t mean its fated, but the astral substance is saying, “this will probably happen if the moral I-Being does not take hold.”
That’s why these movies like the Matrix, Inception, A Dark Knight Rises and Pandorum and many others are very poignant films. They have a kind of scary warning quality to them; a warning to mankind, a feeling of “this is what will happen if…” And so perhaps an event like 911 could be so big and so damaging to the collective psyche of mankind that it sent undulations into the astral world long before it actually happened and so all those movies are some kind of almost unconscious force within us telling us what will happen if we don’t turn things around, if we let the monkeys run the show: the ego, greed, pride, sloth, and laziness. Not an evil global orchestration, but just general weakness and failing of humanity itself, what Christ calls, “the sickness of sin.”
Steiner does speak, of course about adversarial forces. There are two of them in fact, Lucifer and Ahriman, who oppose Christ, and who can be seen as a kind of opposing force trying to disrupt the progressive development of humankind, but Steiner would be very quick to say that these operate on an individual level, not through organizations. They can be a sneaky disruptive voice within our psyche, a kind of little devil in our shoulder even, but they don’t whisper secrets in the backrooms of Hollywood. That’s where I tipped before into fantasy.
Notice I’m not trying to say that my past self, TS 1.0 itself was wrong and that all the images and patterns are not real. I think some of it was real, but it got amplified by the echo chamber of the alternative media and that this pattern amplification can explain maybe even up to 70 or 80% of what I was reporting, maybe more. And that there was a trickle of truth, but this trickle of truth works on the individual level and one’s own relationship with the astral world, along with a study of symbolism and whatever other esoteric knowledge one has picked up along the way. It could be that much of it was real, but not even intently put in there, but appeared there by its own kind of inertia. This symbol clustering pattern force does seem, as TS 1.0 pointed out again and again, to underlie reality itself. Our dreams operate in the same substrate, and the highly developed monk or the psychedelic explorer can learn to access these states of consciousness while awake, its what the poet strives to string together with an economy of words, its what the ancient scriptures and folktales were circumscribing in their owns ways.
Not everyone could see those patterns I was circulating. To others it was obvious. I think there may be remnants of a kind of innate clairvoyance that those who are more pattern sensitive can still locate within the psyche. But in the past everyone had it, and it had to diminish so that the I-being could be awakened and strengthened. Our ancestors were content to be swept up in the collective astral currents. Back when the tribe was primary nobody really had their I-being, other than the I of the tribe, and they were all swept up collectively by the tribal currents and impacted similarly. People all over the world had their blood ties, and that was of a primary importance because it provided them with not just their physical body and genetics, but their soul and psychological configurations. Now it is different. Ever since the appearance of Christ now blood ties and tribalism is a thing of the past and all of humanities connected under a single Christ impulse and what this means is that the old clairvoyance can be regained by anyone. But the task now is not to fall asleep in it, but to keep the I awake and present and coherent and grounded when it goes deep diving into the astral world.
