Merry Christmas from Kate Middleton, Princess Amidala, the Virgin Mary, And Isis

Had a lot of dreams last night about Isis/Horus symbolism and how it relates to the Aeon of Horus/New Age/"Age of Aquarius." Horus = the "Kid Messiah" of pop-culture, who grows up to be a being of immense power. You can read about the recurring imagery of this figure in this recent post about the movie "Looper."

Wondering why had so many dreams of mother/child, classic Mary/Jesus & Isis/Horus symbols: now I think I know:

...and now we know what will be dominating the news cycle for the next week...maybe leading up all the way into Dec. 25th! (what a coincidence!)

Let's go back to this Jezebel post about Kate being "modeled" after the Virgin Mary on a magazine cover...that sort of "subliminal" imagery:

"British Tatler didn't get an interview with Kate Middleton for its new issue — the cover is a file photo, and the story inside is just a list of (bizarre, mostly pregnancy related) advice to her. The chosen photo, however, calls to mind nothing so much as religious iconography. The soft focus, the obscure, apparently sourceless golden light, the gentle incline of her head, the beatific smile: Kate Middleton looks like one of those Jesus plates you see at thrift stores."

Note the "pregnancy-related" advice to her aspect in the magazine...and now, just in time for the start of the holiday season:



Further, she might be having TWINS --

-- a very powerful "kid-messiah" type symbol, as well as tying in to another Mary-Like mythology that concerns very important twins:

Let's bring this all around with Isis imagery and Kate's "topless" scandal:

In order to have the "full" goddess symbolism, you need the nudity as well as the "virginal" qualities...Isis and Mary just two sides of the same coin:



Folks, you have just received...

Welcome to the new age, circa December 2012, more or less on schedule.

We will keep you posted.

"Looper" And The New Aeon Part 2: Joe and Jesus

Old Joe and Young Joe

"This is my life now, I earned it, you've had yours already. So why don't you do what old men do and die? Get the fuck out of my way." — Young Joe, "Looper"

"And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved." —Luke 5:36-38, KJV

"Looper" is a movie ostensibly about time travel -- but takes a strange turn about halfway and becomes a parable about the dawning of a new Aeon of humanity. Last post, we looked at the character Cid and how he represented a recurring trope in pop-culture: that of the kid-messiah, alternatively known as Horus/"Anti-Christ." In this article we will turn our focus to the characters of "Young" Joe Simmons, and his future counterpart "Old" Joe. Obviously, there will be many "spoilers" here.


II. "Old Joe" Is Representative of the Aeon Of Osiris/Old Testament

When "Old Joe" first appears in the life of "Young Joe," he seems like a wise, older, paternal figure we can trust. He is convinced that the seemingly omnipotent Rainmaker, a figure that he claimed was causing widespread destruction in the future, had to be stopped. But soon we find out Old Joe has more in common with the Terminator robot than as a true savior.

Terminator: Unforgiving

The moment Old Joe carries out the murders of little children in the name of his "quest," all his credibility as our theoretical hero -- much less someone that can teach Young Joe to be a better person. Slaughtering innocents to root out the "kid-messiah" -- this is Herod-style behavior. And it carries with it the occasional brutality of Old Testament-style logic (God telling Abraham to kill his son Issac).

Abraham about to sacrifice his son Issac

 Old Joe represents the Osirian Aeon -- the one of organized religion, of the Dying God, of the Aeon that is passing. He is obsessed with preserving the past, even to the point of literally traveling back to it and -- in his plan to assassinate the "Kid-Messiah" Cid -- kill the potential of the future. Thus Young Joe tells him in the diner scene: "So why don't you do what old men do and die? Get the fuck out of my way."

Old-School Justice: Abe in "Looper"

Interesting to note that Young Joe's unforgiving, brutal boss is named Abe -- like the Biblical patriarch Abraham. His law is absolute, with punishment for infractions severe. Though he and Old Joe are seemingly at odds, Abe also wants Cid dead, and sends his own assassins after him (in a strange sync, the hired killer that gets the closest to Cid resembles Michael Biehn, who played John Connor's father in the original "Terminator"). Abe has already been "cast out" of the future by Cid, known as The Rainmaker, a future that resembles the fire-and-brimstone of Revelations.

The "angry" God

The name "Joe" is also reminiscent of that of the Biblical patriarchs, such as Joseph, son of Jacob. Much like that Joseph, Young Joe was literally "sold" as a boy into a slavery of sorts. But as an old man, Joe is filled to the brim with the fury of an Old Testament God, raging at an Aeon that is steadily passing away.

But Young Joe represents another Biblical character...

III. Young Joe Is Jesus

There are many parallels between Joseph of the Old Testament and Jesus of the New Testament, to the point where it has been suggested that the latter was just a re-representation of the former. Edgar Cayce went so far as to claim Jesus was the reincarnation of Jesus.

If Old Joe = Old Testament Joseph, then Young Joe is the New Testament Jesus. Further, Old Joe = Old Testament God, and the paradox of how both Joes can be two and also one mirrors "I am the Father and the Son" quality/dilemma of Jesus Christ. And there's a part of "Looper" where he is, at least subliminally, connected with Jesus. From the scene where his friend Seth (another esoterically "loaded" name) comes to Young Joe for help:

Seth: Ssh! They'll be here any minute. Are they here?
Joe: No. Who?
Seth: Oh, Christ! Joe! Christ! 

Pieces of silver

But unlike Jesus, Young Joe takes on the actions of the god's opposite number: Judas. The Biblical tie couldn't be more clear with Young Joe accepting the bars of silver in exchange for Seth's life. This will be not the only "flipside" to the established mythologies -- the most glaring one being "Anti-Christ" child Cid being actually a symbol of hope, as well as "wise mentor" Old Joe being a murderous maniac.

And since we're on the topic of the Aeons of Osiris and Horus, there's one more flipside: the character of Seth -- "Set" -- being cut into pieces, as Set did to Osiris.

Set scatters the cut-up pieces of Osiris

The passing of the Aeon of Osiris would necessarily mean the passing of Jesus, as well as the Old Testament God. However, though Young Joe shares a love of "antiquity" with Old Joe, he knows intuitively that destroying the potential of the future to re-instate an "idyllic" past is wrong. And killing little kids in order to make this happen is also wrong. Looking into the face of Old Joe, Young Joe realizes that this is not what he wants to become. The real Jesus would not chain the world down with an old dogma.

This is not who he wants to be.

Young Joe decides to protect Cid -- "Kid-Messiah" from Old Joe. But in the end, he realizes that the only way to resolve this ancient, seemingly endless loop of humanity being chained down by this procession of Gods is to end it. And so he does what the Dying God does  -- he turns the gun on himself and dies, taking Old Joe with him.

However, this is not the Jesus-figure touted by organized religion, filled with "thou nots." This is the Cosmic Christ. This is the Vegetable God, literally sacrificed in a field, so the new era might grow.

Cosmic Christ, by Alex Grey

How do we know that Cid might not grow up to be that "Anti-Christ" -- that destructive force?

Cid/mom; Horus/Isis

Well, see, I think it is all at how you are coming at this story -- and religion in general -- from your own reality tunnel. The Big Change -- whether it be at 2012, or 2020, or already in progress -- is going to happen. The Old Ways are going to die. This is inevitable. To some, this is categorized as an "Apocalypse."

But we can also embrace change. Instead of shunning Cid, Young Joe embraced him. Young Joe knew that by welcoming the New Aeon, that of Horus, with hostility and death would only beget more hostility and death.

In the end, we create our own realities, chose which reality tunnels to follow. Young Joe realized that things didn't have to be "fated" -- that we all don't have to collapse in a terror-filled blob at the prospect of grisly prophecies of the future. Young Joe's Hero Journey ended with him learning about Choice. And in a world rapidly changing, we must also exercise that option of Choosing, and choosing Love, Life, Growth, Potential, and Evolution.

"Looper" and the New Aeon Part 1: The Kid-Messiah

Like other Messiahs in history, Cid from "Looper" has an absent father

Isis/Horus Mary/Jesus

I've been trying to "figure out" the movie "Looper" since I watched it two weeks ago. Even to discuss it would spoil some surprise elements of the film, because at some point it does a 180-degree turn and becomes a totally different movie than one would expect. So I leave that warning out there for those who haven't seen it but want to.

Now then, "Looper" is not really a film about time-travel, though certainly that is the "device" used to facilitate the narrative. On the surface, it's about trying to undo the mistakes of the past with hindsight -- but that's not really it, either.

"Looper" is about the coming of the new Aeon of Horus, and how we can either work with it or resist:

I. Cid Is Horus/New Messiah/"Anti-Christ"

(Please note that I'm using the term "Anti-Christ" here not as a religious judgement, but as he might be perceived by someone with an Evangelical Christian/Osirian reality tunnel)

Horus the child

I'm going to start with a dream I had in mid-October of 2004, as it reminds me very strongly of the subject matter:

I see the comic book, the last pages. After the "explosion," you found out that it was just Jesus "coming into his own" and finding out from God who he really is. He is confused and shocked. All the men around him are dead, from the blast caused by the revealing of God, but this killing was unintentional. 

To break this down:

After the "explosion":

...you found out that it was just Jesus "coming into his own" and finding out from God who he really is:

 He is confused and shocked:

All the men around him are dead:

 ...from the blast caused by the revealing of God:

 ...but this killing was unintentional:

 The dream went on to say:

The one who would be Jesus had to fill a certain height requirement--in order to fulfill the prophecy. Later, you read how the Anti-Christ was a thin little boy with a shaved head* & a Celtic tattoo around his arm, and that Jesus wanted/needed to torture him to death. Torture a little child?

But Jesus belongs to the previous Aeon, that of Osiris and organized religion; that of the story of the Dying God and his resurrection. I interpreted the creator of the "explosion" as Jesus at the time of the dream because he was presented as a messianic figure, which I assumed would be Jesus. However, the real messiah is the "little child" -- Horus. Cid, the super-powered, messiah-type "little child" in "Looper," is not Jesus; but since he seems to have these massive, Jesus-like powers, he must be the opposite number of Jesus: "Anti-Christ." (compare to similar tropes in the "Omen" movies).

Dueling Messiahs

Again: to a hardcore Christian (and I was pretty far along in Evangelical Christianity when I had this dream; which explains a lot of my confusion), the idea of this herald of a "new age" -- and the idea of a new age in general -- is considered blasphemous, and any such messiah would be the "Anti-Christ."

Old Joe, about to do something horrible

In "Looper," Old Joe (Bruce Willis) goes back in time to kill this messiah, who he says will grow up to be a destructive force of nature called "The Rainmaker." The story of the child-messiah with incredible super-powers being hunted down is pretty deeply ingrained in both our mythology and popular culture, but with the 2012 end-date looming, as well as ideas such as the Singularity and Indigo Children/Hybrids, it's become particularly relevant.

These Messiah Children -- so powerful and dangerous and persecuted and full of potential for good or evil -- can be found everywhere:

Andrew Detmer in "Chronicle":

Carrie White:

Renesmee Cullen from "Breaking Dawn Part 2":

Akira:

Anakin Skywalker:

The Children of the Damned:

Damien Thorne:



 Adrian Castevet:

Most of these children are portrayed as "monsters" -- but also the heralds (literally, in the case of "The Omen" and "Rosemary's Baby") of a New Era. This new era is the Aeon of Horus, referred-to by occultist/poet/philosopher/etc. Aleister Crowley as "the crowned and conquering child":

"The Aeon of Horus is here: and its first flower may well be this: that, freed of the obsession of the doom of the Ego in Death, and of the limitation of the Mind by Reason, the best men again set out with eager eyes upon the Path of the Wise, the mountain track of the goat, and then the untrodden Ridge, that leads to the ice-gleaming pinnacles of Mastery!"

New Aeon Awakening

It is, literally, a new stage in the Evolution of mankind, a stage where man and woman can become so much more -- these creepy movie children, "kid-messiahs" with their freaky powers, represents the fear our current Osirian society has over this Big Change. And the character of Cid in "Looper" is the latest "kid-messiah," Horus stand-in.

Old Joe, played by Bruce Willis, won't accept the New Aeon -- his "job" is to kill the Messiah, to stop him from ever becoming into his full-flower. Old Joe is basically trying to stop the so-called "Anti-Christ"/New Age, and, like Herod of old, he's not adverse to killing innocent children in his quest to do so.

Who does Old Joe represent?

And who does "Young Joe," played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, supposed to represent?

The answer to these questions will plant us firmly not only in the Aeon of Osiris -- the Aeon that has passed/is soon to pass -- but in the Bible as well. Next post!

*The aspect of the thin child with a shaved head can point to those persecuted kid-messiahs who are also sickly/incarcerated/experimented on, such as:

Jimmy/Leech in "X-Men 3":

The "old" kids from "Akira":

"Powder":

And so many more:
