The Woman and the Dragon

There is no discernible difference between the following two accounts, in my opinion.

One is a passage from the Bible, the other from a CNN news article posted 4/18 (Good Friday in the United States):

Revelation 12: The Woman and the Dragon

Space X's Dragon on the way to International Space Station

Sync notes: (1) Intl Space Station=ISS=ISIS (the woman/goddess).
(2) Replace the word "berth" with "birth".

The part that visually hit me the hardest was "its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky" as compared to "the station's robotic arm will capture a space freighter".

I'm not here to make an observation about what any of it means. That's a whole 'nother conversation about the cyclical nature of so-called events and the people who manufacture report them.

I believe the more important concept to grasp is that we are living in a reality space where the things that are happening and the myths we tell ourselves about the things that are happening are virtually indistinct from one another. 

We are living in a 1:1 creation space. This is power and wisdom.

Those Crazy Twins—The Calm Before the Storm

News of the Winklevoss Twins' settlement with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is another synchromystic marker on our road map to awakening.

35 Gemini. The Divine Twins, one of whom was fathered by Jupiter/Zeus thereby making him immortal while the other twin remained mortal.  This is the Dual Nature of Man.

In ancient Rome The Divine Twins were known as Castor and Pollux.  Synchromystically, this recalls the movie Face/Off.

Notice how the faces merge to form one open 'Third Eye' in the middle.

Nicolas Cage plays Castor Troy, and John Travolta is his foil and arch nemesis Sean Archer.  They are "Twins" in the sense that in order to defeat each other, they must first become each other by altering their faces through plastic surgery. 

The Greek word "Castor" translates as "Beaver".  In the movie The Beaver Mel Gibson plays a man whose Alter (or Twin) Ego awakens and emerges as a beaver puppet to save his life.  It is directed by and co-stars Jodi Foster, cinematically one of the first people to make Contact.

In a nice sync wink the movie poster (Above) shows Gibson wearing a PeriWINKLE blue-colored shirt. On the Greek version (Below) he is lying on a sheet of the exact same color.

Incidentally, the name of Travolta's character "Archer", or bow man, synchs to Dave "Bowman", our awakened Jupiter starbaby  from 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

From a Fairytale-as-Myth perspective the Winklevoss Twins also resonate the story of Rip van Winkle who awoke after having slept for 20 years. 

"To be a Rip van Winkle, is to awake suddenly to profound changes in one's surroundings. This may be due to physical absence or to absence of mind."—Wikipedia

The Winklevoss Twins are "resting" their case after 3.5 years.  Maybe this signifies our Collective Consciousness completing its final stage of slumber before ultimately waking up.  Perhaps there is also a connection between their 3.5 years and Rip van Winkle's 20 years. (NOTE: 3.5 years = 42 months. 42 is the Jupiter number).

In the Bible, 3.5 years of days is linked to a pair of prophetic Twins known as the "Two Witnesses" (the Sun and the Moon).  Revelations 11 says that after the Two Witnesses have finished their testimony they will die for 3.5 days.

The people of Earth will rejoice during this time because they will no longer be tormented by plagues and weather anomalies (sound familiar?).  This temporary "death", or "slumber", could correlate to the Sun's sunspot cycle inexplicably becoming dormant.  Similarly, perhaps the Moon's figurative death occurred during last week's full lunar eclipse.

"But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them."—Revelations 11:11

Likewise the number 20 in the Bible also denotes a waiting period, or the act of Expectancy.

"Twenty is the double of ten, and may in some cases signify its concentrated meaning. But its significance seems rather to be connected with the fact that it is one short of twenty-one, 21 - 1 = 20; that is to say, if 21 is the three-fold 7, and signifies Divine (3) completion as regards spiritual perfection (7), then twenty, being one short of 21, it would signify...expectancy."—Biblestudy.org

One of several references to a 20-year period appears in the book of 1 Samuel. The Israelites abandoned their idols and false gods and spiritually "rebuilt the Ark after 20 years" by returning to worshipping the one true God.

The Ark remained at Kiriath Jearim a long time—twenty years in all.  Then all the people of Israel turned back to the LORD.—1st Samuel 7:2-3

This syncs to a recent news story (see video above) of a guy who just completed building a biblical scale replica of Noah's Ark in the Netherlands.  He's loaded the boat with pairs of plastic animals—"Pairs" being another play on "Twins".

All these crazy Twin syncs are converging to let us know that the waiting period is about to be over.  It's Business Time ya'll.

Fav line from above song:  "Two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven" :-)

Nostradamus, the Vitruvian Man, and a Message of Hope

As promised...here is a Nostradamus prophecy that confirms the existence of the Vitruvian Man/Pleiadian star map layout in our nation's capital.

(Perhaps also indirectly reinforcing my theory of the same topology surrounding the location of the Arizona Massacre).

The Original Quatrain:

Feet and hands bound between two boats,
Face anointed with honey, and sustained with milk:
Wasps and flies, paternal love vexed,
Cup-bearer to falsify, Chalice tried.

---Century 6, Quatrain 89, The Book of Nostradamus

Notice that (Feet and hands) = 10 fingers + 10 toes = 20. 

And a visual of a person with their feet and hands tied between two objects looks like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man figure and a Roman Numeral 'X' (X = 10).

Roman Numeral 'X' illustrated using Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" figure

Putting the numbers 20 and 10 together gives us the year 2010 for this prophecy. 

[UPDATED 1/30/11:]

To confirm the year 2010, Nostradamus also encoded it mathematically both in Binary (Base 2) and Base 13.

In Binary, the Quatrain's first line can be written as 1010 1101 111.  However, Binary is read in sections of four digits from right to left.  So, we would rewrite it as 111 1101 1010 which equals 2010 in Binary.

In Base 13, the phrase "Bound Between two boats", can be written as BB8.  BB8 = 2010 in Base 13.

[END UPDATE]

Nostradamus was also making a reference to Washington, D.C., and his use of the Vitruvian Man imagery indicates that he was well aware of the figure's incorporation into the city's layout (see my post and Wayne Hershel's website).

Using Wayne Hershel's maps, we can see the "Face" corresponds to the Washington Monument Obelisk.

The 2nd line of the Quatrain is:  

Face anointed with honey, and sustained with milk

The Face/Obelisk is anointed with honey by means of the line on the map connecting it to the graves of our military heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. 

Via this line, Ganymede, the mythological Cup-bearer to the gods, is symbolically anointing the Face/Obelisk with honey [where "honey" symbolizes the ancient Army of Thebes (Thebes=The Bees)].

The Obelisk is also sustained with milk (milk=MLK). This is a reference to the MLK Memorial, the new monument to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. located at the edge of the Tidal Basin (literally on W. Basin Drive) that feeds/flows toward the obelisk.

The MLK Memorial does not officially open until 8/28/11.  However, its centerpiece, a massive 28-foot granite "Stone of Hope" sculpture of Dr. King, first became visible to the public in December 2010. 

This event gives us Nostradamus' time frame for the prophecy (12/2010).

The 3rd and 4th lines of the Quatrain are:

Wasps and flies, paternal love vexed,
Cup-bearer to falsify, Chalice tried.

In these lines, Nostradamus uses a trick to let us know which words are important and which words are simply used to fill the sentence. 

The "filler" words in each sentence are actually synonyms of each other: "Lies" means "to falsify", and "Vexed" means "tried".

After the filler words are deleted we are left with:

Wasps and paternal love

Cup-bearer, Chalice

The phrase "Wasps and paternal love" is a reference to the Sacred Band, an army in ancient Thebes (Thebes=The Bees=Wasps) that was comprised of only male lovers.  

"And if there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their beloved, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world." ---from Plato's Symposium

This also relates to Ganymede who, in addition to being the Cup-bearer, was also a Greek symbol for the ideally beautiful youth and homosexual love.





Zeus (in the form of an Eagle) fell in love with Ganymede and took the boy away to live on Mt. Olympus.  Synchromystically, this is a link to the U.S. (the Eagle) and to Jupiter (one of its moons is named after Ganymede).

When the Sacred Band was slaughtered at the Battle of Chaeronea, a Giant Lion Statue was erected as a monument to them in Thebes.

In modern times, this correlates to the Bronze Lions at the Netherlands Carillon in Washington, D.C.  The Lion statues overlook the graves of slain soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

The soldiers of the Sacred Band were honored for their heroic service.  This is Nostradamus' way of alluding to the repeal of the U.S. Military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell law (DADT).

President Obama signed the repeal of DADT on December 22, 2010.  This re-confirms the 12/2010 time frame for the prophecy.

As we have learned by now, Nostradamus always embeds multiple meanings into his prophecies.  This one is no exception.

The word "Face" in the Quatrain can also be a reference to the Tarot by alluding to the Face Cards (the Major Arcana/Court cards).

The Tarot de Marseille features the Temperance Card and the Star Card:

The Temperance Card, XIV, depicts a woman with two cups in her hands. She has one foot in the water and one foot on the land.  It is a reminder that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options is often the best option, i.e. an old saying that relates strongly to our Quatrain---"it's easier to catch flies with honey".

The Star Card, XVII, also depicts a woman with two pitchers in her hands.  It represents a moment of renewed hope for the future, a breakthrough, a new opportunity to rise to higher state of consciousness.  In the Fool's Journey, the Star indicates that we are approaching the goal of Enlightenment.

If we combine the numbers of both Cards we get XIVXVII. 

Note: The middle X is bound between two V's.  The V is the symbol for cups/boats.  Therefore the X (human figure) is bound between two boats.

Based on these Tarot clues, we can re-interpret the last three lines of the Original Quatrain to read as follows:

The Anointed One held two chalice in his hands

And, patient as a loving father,
He sustained the flying wasps

With milk and honey

Dropping the first letters from the words "flying wasps" gives us "lying asps", or lying snakes.  And in previous posts (here and here) I showed how Nostradamus refers to President Obama as "The One".

I believe this is referring to Obama's techniques of patience, moderation, and compromise in dealing with members of Congress (many of whom I personally would characterize as "lying snakes"). 

This was especially true in December 2010 when the President got DADT, the START Treaty, health care coverage for 9/11 workers, and the tax cut bill passed in a lame duck session of Congress.

Overall, I think Nostradamus in this Quatrain is sending us a message of Hope across time. 

He foresaw the strides we would make in achieving equality for ALL, both through the eradication of DADT and in electing a black president---each culminations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s precious dream.

Somewhere, somehow I'd like to think the prophet is cheering us on from the Great Beyond.

Nostradamus believes in us.  Now we just have to believe in ourselves.

Nostradamus Predicts NYC 'PATH' of Destruction

This MSNBC news clip that aired on New Year's Eve jibes nearly word-for-word with one of Nostradamus' foreboding prophetic passages.

I'll apologize in advance for such a dire analysis on this, the first day of a Happy Happy New Year 2011.  But I was watching a re-run of the news on TV after the ball dropped and this bit made my mouth fall open.

(Click the Arrow on the Video below to Play)

I just happened to have been reading The Book of Nostradamus online for the past few days while researching my previous post Barack Obama—The Last MABUS. 

That's the only reason I recognized the "PATH" reference in the news clip.  I find that coincidence too weird for words.

Ok. So, here is the Original Quatrain:

Garden of the world near the new city,
In the path of the hollow mountains:
It will be seized and plunged into the Tub,
Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur.
Century 10, Quatrain 49. The Book of Nostradamus.

Now here is my Unscrambled Version:

Near the garden in the New City of the world
The Path in the hollow mountains
Will be seized and plunged into the Tub
Forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur

The following are descriptions and phrases taken verbatim from the MSNBC news video clip:

* New York's PATH subway train is "burrowed through solid bedrock".  (NOTE: This is very similar to Nostradamus' description of the "Path" being hollowed through a mountain).

* The underwater part of the subway lines run under the Hudson River. They sit just under a thin layer of silt and mud leaving them vulnerable.

* Counter-terrorism measures are being taken to add...Flood Gates installed on both ends to plug the tunnels in a worst case scenario.

* This is a 600 million dollar upgrade stemming from a 2006 terrorist plot that targeted the PATH tubes as a way to flood the "Bathtub".

"Bathtub" is a name used for the World Trade Center site.

The "Bathtub" contained the footprints of the Twin Towers and Buildings 3 and 6.

Nostradamus also tells us specifically that the "Path" will be "plunged into the Tub" and forced to drink waters poisoned by sulfur. 

This sounds like a clear description of an underground subway being submerged under water due to a bomb.

The PATH website's info page for the World Trade Center Station shows that Battery Park is within walking distance of the station. 

This matches Nostradamus' description that the "Path" is "near the garden" in the new (York) city. 

On the bright side, I strongly believe this Quatrain could very well be referring to the 2006 terrorist plot which, thankfully, has already been averted. 

Ergo, we learn what we should already know.  Fate is not written in stone.
