Your understanding of this post will be somewhat dependent on your familiarity with the above media pieces. Do bear in mind that I've not even seen Lord of the Rings (none of them), or Labyrinth, but it certainly didn't stop me! :)
A big thanks go to the folks from my previous post, and the useful comments they provided.
Thank you, everyone. This post is very "graphics" heavy, there's flashing imagery too, but that goes with the territory.
Video/music (here) is for blog post auto-play, turn it off if you prefer.
Let's Dance (Down Under) and Let's Rock (Under the Sycamore)
The Lightning Flash/Bolt
Flash Gordon - Masonic "Ring" Ming (Von Sydow) - played in Lynch's Dune.

The "777" (tree of life) lightning flash and struck crown...Crowley wrote "777".
Sirius=seirios (Greek)"
Let's Dance via the moon, sirius (seirios) and Oz.
“come my love, let us dance/to the moon and Sirius!” I.e., the Sirius Moonlight. Aleister "moonchild" Crowley.
The Loft on Sirius/XM had a David Bowie Channel recently, and in memory of him.
Compare Bowie's "DB" 90s symbol with Crowley's "A" (penis), above.
Mr "666" Crowley and "AHA!"
Hell Or Bust, 1996. Bowie artwork for the Prince's Trust.
"Your pretty face is going to hell", Bo '96" on the reverse, and 666 stencilled on the forehead.
Listen to the opening sounds of Let's Dance - "Ahhhh, haaaa, haaa, haaa!" (Aha!)
Bowie in Oz. "Put on your red shoes..." - Let's Dance via The Nile (producer Rodgers) and in Oz/Aus.
The canicular 'hate and heat' aspect (a la dog days) perhaps accounted for, 'seirios = burning'
The Let's Dance single 'b side' was Cat People (Putting Out Fire).
Corridor creeping with Labyrinth Bowie. TV series climax black lodge pre-cognition (via the film).
Toto is (Canis/Sirius) connecting to the Sirius Rainbow Bridge (Over The Rainbow) see Alice Bailey.
Briggs went thru the black lodge, Jeffries is also connected to it. "Can you hear me, Major Briggs (Tom)"
...also evokes the barren/dilapidated room (above convenience store, Twin Peaks FWWM).
Black (Lodge) Star - travelling via the ether and electricity.
TP's Convenience Store "jumping man" is black (afro-american) - there's a black man in the Black Star room (above).

Bowie - the (sirius moonlight) diamond dog (star). Sirius, the diamond dog star in the sky.
A black lodge tear/rip in the fabric of space/time
Lazarus
Under The Sycamore Tree (of Life). Kether to Malkuth - the '777' zig-zag, lightning tree of life pathway.
Kether to Malkuth - The lightning path passes thru 'da'ath/sirius/abyss' and the veil (Isis) - dweller on the threshold.
Zig-zag, flash Bowie, also worked with Lynch in "Lost Highway" (Pathway) - he bookends the soundtrack.
Bulwer "dweller on the threshold" Lytton's proteges - Crowley et al - allegedly formed the Isis/Urania Hermetic group.
Crowley and Isis - Hathor/Isis, the sycamore tree queen. Sirius is also the star of Isis.
The last sentence is a in-joke, the Isis being inferred was (obviously) the "Egyptian goddess".
Lightning-struck crowns.
Laura's "zig-zag" heart - broken in two
It's a broken heart that dreams, it's a broken heart you left me. Only love can live in my dream.
I'll wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish.
Wish, and the storm will fade away. Wish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an overture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream.
(Bowie - When I Live My Dream)
Lynch/Bowie - Elephant "Dream" Men from Mars. "Quite grey" - like the elephant and alien (greys).
Lynch would direct the 'Elephant Man' film, Bowie would feature in the Broadway play. When Lynch's film (which opens with a dream) was generally released on October 10 (10/10) 1980, Bowie was on his Broadway run as Merrick. Bowie would also provide music for the opening/closing credits for Lynch's film 'Lost Highway' (1997). Bowie (Ziggy from Mars), Lynch (Jimmy Stewart from Mars). Alien resonant Bowie and Lynch, it was Alien star John Hurt who played 'The Elephant Man'.

Twin "Thumbs Up" Peaks - Crowley was also an accomplished mountaineer.
Nox (nɒks ) noun. The Roman goddess of the night. Greek counterpart - Nyx. Egyptian - Nut.
The "thumbs up" theme likely ties-in to the Crowleyian NOX Vir sign.
Attitude of pan/baphomet/the beast (and the penis, one-eyed Jack).
First Method. Let the Exempt Adept first train himself to think backwards by external means, as set forth here following.
("d") Let him practise speaking backwards; thus for "I am He" let him say, "Eh ma I".
Crowley - Magick.
The "Eh Ma I" Beatles. I've done "The OTO Beatles" in other posts, see Sgt "Crowley, Winged Beetle" Pepper.
("b") Let him learn to walk backwards.
("c") Let him constantly watch, if convenient, cinematograph films, and listen to phonograph records, reversed, and let him so accustom himself to these that they appear natural, and appreciable as a whole.

Let's dance, to the (backwards) songs they're playing on the radio..."

Let's 'sway' Dance - (in an empty space) on a chequered floor...Audrey.
Let's Dance - the song with the red shoes "dream" section...aboriginal dreamtime.
The dreamtime/vision section that happens in-between these two gifs. (above/below)
None of it is real...the restaurant, the road scene, factory etc - it is just imagined 'dreamtime'.
"Put on your red shoes"..."swaying" Audrey (again)
The good witch and the wicked witch (duality)
Laura (Lee), as the good witch, and dreams.
The Oz "red shoes" that transport between worlds - the dreamworld and the real world.
"There is no band. It's is all an illusion" (A dream a la Oz). Mulholland Drive. Red drapes/curtains.
"Let's dance. Put on your red Oz/Aus shoes and walk on blue..."

"Let's Roque (Rock)" - Red Dwarf and the Owl Ring. The black lodge "draped corridors" evoke the labyrinth.
The Red (Oz) Goblin/Gnome King
Bowie, Labyrinth Wizard/Magician - Goblin/Gnome Kings
"The gnomes are ruled over by a king, whom they greatly love and revere. His name is Gob; hence his subjects are often called goblins. Mediæval mystics gave a corner of creation to each of the four kingdoms of Nature spirits, and because of their earthy character the gnomes were assigned to the North--the place recognised by the ancients as the source of darkness and death." (Manly P Hall, TSTOAA).

There's no (man from another) place like Gnome.
The laughing gnome (dwarf). The "red caps/hats" and "yellow caps/hats" (Tibet, Buddhism).
Well, he (Bowie) did witness this Convenience Store meeting!
Dugpa (Tibetan ’brug pa) is a word used by H. P. Blavatsky and the Masters of Wisdom as a synonym for a black magician or sorcerer, frequently referred to as "Brother of the Shadow." These are the non-reformed sects that did not follow Tsongkhapa’s new order, the Gelugpas (yellow caps).
The Emerald Table(t) to the Emerald City
Behind the (Oz) curtain (drapes)
There's no place like home...Palmer house

In Greek mythology, Atreus - "tremble", "fearless", Greek: was a king of Mycenae in the Peloponnese, the son of Pelops and Hippodamia, and father of Agamemnon and Menelaus. Collectively, his descendants are known as Atreidai or Atreidae. In a later Herbert prequel, it is revealed that the Atreides in the Dune series are directly linked to the mythological Atreides.
Let's Dance - contains lyrics for both "fear" and "love".

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who was also in attendance (Cannes, where FWWM was booed), said in a 1992 interview, "After I saw 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me' at Cannes, David Lynch had disappeared so far up his own ass that I have no desire to see another David Lynch movie until I hear something different. And you know, I loved him. I loved him."
Tarantino - wouldn't know a good movie if it bit him on his ass! He's stolen most of his career from Lynch, he should be thanking the man! Where do you think he got the idea for the "cut-off" ear in Reservoir Dogs? It was Blue Velvet - a cut off ear, and scissors cutting police tape.
The Blue Velvet shots below are sequential - ear to police and cutting scissors.
The "clowns and jokers" (song track) element has been lifted too (candy coloured clown).
Tarantino has tried to copy Lynch for much of his career, you see the influence in his fetishised depictions of violence, but it's mainly all pointless and empty "hipster" violence - with no deep or profound meaning (hence it being fetish). Lynch is an artist, Tarantino is a corporate film-maker.
Lynch disappeared up his own ass? That's it - I'm shutting Tarantino's butt down! :)

Great post, as expected! More puzzle pieces are here and getting connected.
ReplyDeleteRegarding mask #56, Bowie from "hours...": "Pretty things are going to hell". That album interestingly has "If I'm Dreaming My Life", "Something in the Air", "Thursday's Child". "Thursday" in French is "Jeudi", and when pronounced could sound very much like "Judy"! "We will not talk about Judy" or "We will not talk about Jupiter"? Hey Jude or Hey Judy? Does Judy have a child in new TP perhaps, a "Thursday's child?"?
By the way, I found "Hallo Spaceboy" video I was talking about, it is on https://vimeo.com/151428741, there is a lot going on there as well.
HP, epic as usual! Not sure if you covered this before, but as I was reading this piece and the repeated "Red Room" references, I kept hearing in my head "REDRUM", "REDRUM", I wonder if that was the subliminal meaning from The Shining?!
ReplyDeleteHe brought it up in the last post, but now that you've highlighted it, looks the more likely to be a shared meaning layered in there to me, especially with the Stephen King novel originally having Jack chasing after Danny and Wendy with a ROQUE mallet.
DeleteThanks for yet another great post HLP. With the Bowie/ Lynch connection, Dale Cooper was named after a 'man who fell to earth' an airplane hijacker who baled out with a lot of money. In his album Outside Bowie eerily speaks of a 'room above my shop' (room above a convenience store? Though he makes it sound like 'moon') More will probably come in time.
ReplyDeleteJulius
Regarding D.B. Cooper story, yes, if you do an image search you will see an uncanny resemblance to an aged Cooper. Now, what would B initial stand for? Bob? Recently MacLachan had a Twitter Q and A, and when somebody asked him how would he name his rock band (or similar) if he had one, he responded "The Parachutes". Go figure. Everything there is tied to U.S. North-West. I read recently somewhere that even Dale is a play on words: Dale, Dalai, leading to Tibet and Red Hats I suppose.
DeleteJust thought about in ghostbusters when the stay puft marshmallow man appears it is said "the TRAVELLER has arrived..." by some demon or whatever.
ReplyDeleteGreat post as always, HP.
ReplyDeleteThis might be of interest to you: David Bowie once wrote some songs for a video game, called OMIKRON- THE NOMAD SOUL (1999) and he was featured as one of the characters in the game. Apparently he even suggested some story changes.It's worth checking out the Wikipedeapage :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omikron:_The_Nomad_Soul
And the lyrics to the song OMIKRON
https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/David-Bowie/Omikron
One of Michael jordans nicknames is JUMPMAN.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteGoing back to this subject one more time (I know there is a newer post on MJ).
ReplyDeleteThe album cover of "Heathen" has the title upside-down, and more importantly, we see what to appears to be a doppelganger Bowie. "5.15 The Angels Have Gone", or as Laura says in FWWM "the angels wouldn't help you, because they would all have gone away". And there is also a cover of "I've Been Waiting for You" as well.
The Japanese 2007 reissue also has a "Shadow Man" on it. The album also has "Slow burn" (another Laura FWWM reference "burst into fire, forever") and "Afraid". It is almost like the order of the songs on the album follows the conversation between Laura and Donna in FWWM. The "5.15" might be cryptic. Was Laura murdered at 5.15 in the morning?
I think I will have to listen to all of this one as well now.
Just an interesting occurrence last night. Jimmy Fallon hosted Saturday Night Live and opened the show with a performance of Let's Dance. Very next sketch after that musical number was called Time Travel Family Feud.
ReplyDeleteYou can watch the performance in its entirety here: https://youtu.be/6QD-8NYF0jg
DeleteNile Rodgers plays guitar, Masonic checkerboards are everywhere and the lighting is very reminiscent of the Red Room. Interesting.
And here is Jack as Joker in Batman, holding and smashing a mask, then asking about dancing with devil in the pale moonlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeOHFwpOS-c
ReplyDeleteLastly, after Tremond ("terre monde") and Judy ("jeudi"), I felt that perhaps Chad Desmond would be another name that is a sort of cryptogram, it is not a character name that one would pick unless there is a deeper meaning to it I think. Having looked at a few leads, I settled on "chat dix mondes". "dix mondes" would be an obvious allusion to ten worlds, or ten sephirots, "chat" is from french verb "chatter" or "to converse", or simply english for "chat" as in chatter, so it could mean the one that converses between ten sephirots. Now this is just a guess, perhaps there is a more apt meaning, I am not a native francophone.
ReplyDeleteWell, I overlooked that Chet is Desmond's nickname, the actual name being Chester. Chester could be an obvious allusion to jester, or a fool, as in the card (either Fool or Joker). And Chris Isaac was the trump card for Kyle for FWWM when the latter could not initially film the movie and joined the cast much later. I'll stop here.
ReplyDeleteSuch the enkindling development on some fascinating ideas last week, I thought I should share the latest playlist capturing some of the themes I've been following up on
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFrUsoFfYr9Yu3D8fA1MMBmmAN5BKtXTy
Great playlist. My first real exposure to Bowie (aside from Labyrinth as a kid) was when he toured with Nine Inch Nails in the 90s. There is something about Reznor, Bowie and Lynch teaming up on Lost Highway (not to mention Lou Reed and Marilyn Manson) that makes me wonder how it relates to this whole Twin Peaks/Let's Dance stuff. That film is definitely an occult working.
DeleteHi Bingers, I will check it out, thanks. That said, I've had enough of this sort of thing now, time to bow out and retire. I'm now going to start concentrating on getting out of Europe, and forever. I've already seen more than enough, I should've gone years ago, but issues beyond my control have delayed my parting.
DeleteSorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but it's time to start looking-out for myself now. Best wishes, and thanks for all your support.
No apologies needed, Hoss. That's exactly what I wanted to hear you say. It's springtime (time to spring) and all this death worship, cult study is not what a body needs the mind focusing on right now. Can't think of anyone else on the internet more welcome. If you want to run and never come back to this mess, more power to you. You would be leaving on a good note, too, having done what you set out to do in exposing so, so, so much and through what all now seems like too obvious connections, the ever-incoming new details serving little to prove anything further at this point. It's a trick on those who don't understand the symbols, and some kind of literary in-joke we take part in once we know how to read the architecture. Anyways, it was beginning to feel tedious thanking you all the time. Find a way to help yourself the way you patently helped others on and around this blog. I understand the leave is overdue, but all the more meaningful the stepping stones you have left behind for us will be. The Egyptian Underworld media, its spinning tarot language, the laughs and the crimes will become apparent to anyone who fatefully stumbles on this blog and takes the time to earn some truth. It's a decent legacy.
DeleteBefore you go, I should share with you a post in your honor, something I was saving for a kind of time like this one, or your birthday or whatever. It's a list showcasing the most popular animal when it comes to wordplay, something that stemmed off the etymology work I was doing for the beast of my North By Northwest analysis. Plus a picture of your influence on my bookshelf, and a couple shots of the Rider-Waite deck I had ordered off Amazon, that just so happened to come with twin Chariot cards! Two number 7s, plus I'm a Cancer, which probably makes it the luckiest card for me, but as the horse card, it will always remind me of the reason I purchased the deck to begin with, this ol' site here, the Subliminal Synchrosphere of one Horselover Phat. One thing that still bothers me, though. If I have this freak deck of 79 cards, does that mean some unfortunate ended up with an unlucky deck of 77, missing its number 7?
http://everythingbutthekitsch.blogspot.com/2016/10/its-no-wonder.html
When I first discovered the bonus card, a friend poked fun saying I must not have read the cover of the box, and that it says "Comes With Extra Chariot Card!" right there on the front. I laughed, but not as hard as she did when I finally gave in to double-checking to make sure it didn't really say that. Nope, simply chance...
Stay sharp and steady, old boy, and feel free to let us know how things go out there. You keep that good head about you and you'll do fine. And remember should you need us, for any reason at all, likely somebody will be around tending the fire.
Good luck!
I've been waiting for your response. I've been away on a break for the past week, so I've not been around.
DeleteBriefly...The day I saw 9/11 was the day that made me want to abandon "the west". I've been trying to escape since then, my latest cut-off point for leaving was supposed to be 2010 (a decision I made in 2006). It never happened, stuff went wrong etc - I've had to regroup and relaunch. It's not easy arranging a life outside Europe. I want to be out of here before the end of 2017. I'm never going to look back.
I wanted you to be the first to know about my withdrawal, as you've supported me so heavily over the years. I will read and digest the rest of your comment and respond about that soon. Thanks again Bingers, all your contributions are very much appreciated. Will get back to you. :)
Well. Seems I'm "doing" fine then. Awesome post. I really don't know much about Crowley but I could link some of it with some ideas I have of Lovecraft and King for a story. You could use some Cronenberg here too. Another David.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is awesome and very informative keep Sharing this type of blog.

ReplyDeleteRe: Halloween Pleasence. I always recall a 70s horror film that featured both Donald and his daughter (Angela). From Beyond the Grave. They have to be the creepiest father/daughter couple that I've ever seen on screen. Angela still gives me the creeps today - and just from that segment of the anthology film.

I've written mad stuff about Poltergeist, and sone time ago. One of my earlier efforts exposing Spielberg et al. I cover O'Rourke and that resonant 1988 poster, as well as the 42-10 score-line. I link some of it with Kubrick's The Shining, etc.
I know that Coogan is a masonic POS, but I've always like Alan Partridge. Yes, he rose-up through Spitting Image, as you describe.

You mention Freddie Jones. Another actor that I've always rated, if only for his intensity. Lynch clearly rated him too, hence his use in some of his films.
Link to the Spielberg/Poltergeist post. It's the most read post on the entire blog.
