Surprisingly, the movie 'The Big Lebowski' syncs to the recent Norway massacre.
For those who may not know, TBL is famous in the Syncosphere for its many Jesus references as well as several scenes that seem to have predicted 9/11 (for more info see William Morgan's video Man In the Mirror).

The movie was released in Norway on September 11, 1998—exactly 3 years before the events of 9/11.
Further Norway syncs entrain through the characters of Maude (played by Julianne Moore) and Bunny Lebowski (played by Tara Reid).
The following video clip is a dream sequence from the film with Maude dressed as a Norse Viking goddess.
Toward the end of the movie a private investigator reveals that Bunny Lebowski is really Fawn Knutsen, a teen runaway from Moorhead, Minnesota.
Knutsen is a Norwegian surname. Moorhead, MN is located in the Red River Valley, an area known for its strong Norwegian heritage.
It's also the site of some of the flattest, richest FARMland in the whole world.
In the movie scene (above) a photo of the Knutsen family FARM is shown.
Bunny a.k.a Fawn is also seen wearing the Orange and Black school colors of The Moorhead Spuds.

In Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik's Facebook photo (below) he's wearing a Black sweater over an Orange shirt.

Breivik's FARM (where he hid the explosives used in the bombing) is located in the county of Hedmark in Aamot, Norway.

The words Moor and Mark can both be used as verbs meaning "to fix" when related to a ship.
Therefore, MOORhead = HedMARK.
How's that for Synchromystic foreshadowing?
Another sync exists between Moorhead and the name of actress Julianne Moore. The name Julianne means "son of Jove/Jupiter".
In this context, Moore/Moorhead suggests a return to the Godhead symbolized by the planet Jupiter (Thanks to Eleleth at the Cosmos Idikos blog for this wisdom).
It is a timely reference since NASA's Juno space probe will be travelling to Jupiter next week on 8/05.
There was also a FARM-related Tweet on July 28th from William Morgan (@satoriallme on Twitter) that helped pull things together for me.
The Farm symbolizes our relationship with the feminine aspect of the Earth. Bunny a.k.a Fawn KNUTsen resonates the Egyptian sky goddess NUT whose husband is the Earth god Geb.
In a world ruled by Love our relationship with the Earth Mother energy would be symbiotic. We would cherish her and she would nourish and sustain us, forever.
But in this Fear-based society we continually violate, abuse, and misuse her (i.e. Bunny is exploited as a porn star; Breivik used the Farm to create and store deadly weapons rather than to grow food).
In one final sync-related note, actress Tara Reid was often compared to late singer Amy Winehouse in the media due to her very public battle with Alcoholism.
Winehouse was found dead in her home on July 23rd, the day after Breivik committed the Norway bombing and massacre.
In the movie, Dude Lebowski and his team bowl on Lane 23. But lanes 23 and 24 (or 42) share the same scoring station—they are opposite sides of the same coin.
 |
| When the Dude agonizes over whether to tell the Truth he is on the 42 side. |
 |
| When Walter becomes violent and pulls a gun they're playing on the 23 side. |
It's up to each of us to choose on which side we wish to play, or, ideally, to acknowledge and integrate the best aspects of both through the process of Individuation.
"Like the anima, the animus does not merely consist of negative qualities such as brutality, recklessness, empty talk, and silent, obstinate, evil ideas. He too has a very positive and valuable side; he too can build a bridge to the Self through his creative activity...On this highest level he becomes the mediator of religious experience whereby life acquires new meaning."—Man and His Symbols, Carl Jung
In the film one of the dual aspects of the Dude's animus is represented by Walter Sobchak, the temperamental Vietnam vet who also has a loyal and piously religious side.
As usual, a chicken-or-egg type scenario emerges here.
Did the Coen Brothers realize they were incorporating these deep elements into the movie, or was it simply Synchronicity at work silently in the background?

I tend to believe the latter when it comes to movies mainly because I regularly witness Sync working behind the scenes in my own life.
But in the words of Walter Sobchak...am I wrong?
