“And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.” (Ezekiel 2:6 KJV)
I know how crazy all of this sounds. Believe me, when I read through and analyze the material again, some of it I still don’t completely understand, and some of it, I don’t expect anyone else to believe or understand. I think back to just before all of this started: my uncle’s funeral, the freemason symbol propped up against his casket, the pastor asking if anyone needed to be saved, if anyone needed to ask Jesus into their hearts – just raise your hand. I think back to the woman dressed in brown who approached me in the drugstore parking lot…where would I be today had I ignored those signs? What if I hadn’t opened the door when Jesus knocked? I certainly wouldn’t be here writing to you now with my mind intact and my soul at peace. If alive at all, I certainly wouldn’t be who I am today. I’d like to think that this thing will soon be turned on its head. Once exposed, I imagine everything will come crashing down. Financial and religious institutions, governments, global ideologies – once the cat’s out of the bag, people will be forced to confront it. This thing will shake the foundations of the earth. It will change the world.
Not long before all of this began, I had a dream that the terrorist group, Isis, invaded my neighborhood. Men in black ski masks poured through our narrow streets as I prepared myself to confront them. We’d known they were coming and that our neighborhood was next in line for the takeover. Before I knew it, I was standing outside in the midst of them. Someone handed me a machine gun and I joined their ranks blending in among them, but at the last minute, I turned and opened fire. That’s how the dream ended. Isis, the Egyptian sun goddess, the mother of Horus, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth – that’s where I’m at now, and this book is my machine gun. In his song, Heart-Shaped Box, Kurt Cobain wrote, “I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black.” My dear Kurt, consider it done.
This thing that stole my grunge heroes continues to steal souls today. I often think about my brother and what would have happened if this thing had landed on him instead of me. It would have destroyed him completely. I see so much of Kirk in Kurt, and I know my brother would have suffered the same fate, and I thank God that it was me that stumbled onto this thing and not him. The writing is on the wall. The masonic symbol on my uncle’s casket, Crowley’s old house bursting into flames, the dead whale washed up on Galveston’s shoreline, the scorpion I held in my tiny cupped hand as a toddler – I knew the endgame. If only but a glimpse, as seen through a glass, darkly, I knew where this thing was heading. In Greek legend, the sphinx was said to strangle all travelers who failed to answer her riddle. So, here goes. The dog returns to his own vomit just as the scorpion’s tail curves forward to sting at the last, when the wine giveth his color in the cup. And as the water cycle completes its course and the rain falls upon us again, so does the fruit of our word. So, here’s where my story ends, and begins.
I began keeping a journal back in 1995. I was eighteen at the time and in need of an outlet, somewhere to dump all of my worries, anxieties, dreams and secrets. It was just the three of us back then, me, mom and my brother, in a small rent house located on a street named Lion’s Gate in North Houston. This is also about the time I began having a series of reoccurring dreams, many about River, including the one where I found his dead body in my closet. Many of my journal entries were also about River, and some of them were even addressed to him as letters. Little did I know at the time, I was unwittingly casting lots in the bid for River’s soul. Although it would be another twenty years before the lion’s paw gripped me by the arm, destiny and fate were already at the gate on a residential street named, by no coincidence, Lion’s Gate.
In New Age and occult practices, astral travel (or astral projection) is a term used to describe an out-of-body-experience. It is the intentional separation of the soul from the physical body, thereby, enabling the individual’s soul or consciousness to travel throughout the universe. We can actually see a picture of this in the Bible. In Ezekiel chapter 13, God expresses his anger toward the false prophets who prophesy out of their own heart, and in verse 18, he mentions women who sew pillows to all armholes to hunt souls:
“Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?” (Ezekiel 13:18 KJV)
This, much like the witch at Endor, is a reference to witchcraft, necromancy, and divination, but we have more going on here. Pillows are symbolic of divine dreams and visions in the Bible. Like pillows of clouds, they signify the heavenly realm, the spiritual realm, or in this case, the astral plane. It could also be interpreted that the golden gods are pillows. Sewing pillows for arms describes the process of coming into synch or connecting with one of these gods, thereby, causing someone (like myself) or any other victim/initiate to dream divine dreams, to see into the future by supernatural means, or to travel the astral plane (to fly). Although I didn’t experience it myself, losing consciousness during the flood may well have resulted in an out-of-body experience. That horrible feeling of being drained of all fluid and turned to stone, of feeling dead inside as if my very soul had been sucked from my body, that had to be the beginning stages of a soul removal. And if I truly believed that that’s what happened to River early Halloween morning, then where did his soul go? I can’t say for sure, but if he truly was my spirit spouse, and if he truly was one of these golden gods, if he truly was my temporary pillow sewn together at the arms like makeshift wings, then his soul must have been knit with mine. Ezekiel 13 goes on to describe souls that are hunted to make them fly, and just as my soul was hunted in this realm, so too, was River’s soul hunted in the spiritual realm. And just as I was made to fly to see the future and divine divinations, so too, did River fly to stay alive. In the end, God will let the souls go:
“Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.” (Ezekiel 13:20 KJV)
The golden gods travel the astral plane, the spiritual realm, or the fourth dimension. They are in limbo, alive but dead, space travelers who orbit the earth in search of fleshly vessels. Like bobbing for apples on Halloween, I unknowingly hunted River and conjured his consciousness and/or soul by sending out a message through my words (my music). If all of this sounds a bit New Agey to you, that’s because it is. To be clear, I hate it more than I’ve ever hated anything in my entire life, but not River. I hate what was done to him, but I don’t hate River. So, when I refused to reconnect with my dying god, where did his soul go? After being torn from my arms, did he find another fleshly vessel, or is it possible that his soul returned to his own body?
“And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:” (Ezekiel 37:3-5 KJV)
In Masonic literature, after Hiram Abiff (the widow’s son) is attacked and killed by the three ruffians (Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum) collectively known as “the Juwes” for refusing to reveal the secret word, he is raised again from the dead by King Solomon and his fellow masons. They first attempt to raise him by taking hold of his body with the grip of the first degree (the grip of “Boaz”) but it failed. After re-positioning their hold, they tried again with the grip of the second degree (the grip of “Jachin”) but it also failed. When Solomon used the grip of the third degree (the grip of the “the lion’s paw”) and uttered the phrase, “Ma-Ha-Bone” in Hiram’s ear, he was finally raised from the dead. Any Google search will tell you that the phrase “Ma-Ha-Bone” means “the Grand Lodge door opened.” So, here we have an allegory to the doors of the mind being opened, thereby, raising the dying god (Hiram Abiff) from the dead through Solomon’s word. But let’s take this a step further. What if Hiram Abiff (i.e. River Phoenix) was literally raised from the dead?
The science fiction novel I wrote (Just Before Midnight) features a character named Gabriel Cross who died outside of a bar early Halloween morning from an apparent drug overdose. The inspiration for the character is quite obvious to anyone familiar with River Phoenix’s story. The protagonist of the novel, Paige Holland, is sent back in time to prevent his death from taking place. The novel is set in the near future where an overbearing governmental entity known as The Council of Six rule over everything, including food and water. Before his death, Paige and Gabriel were on a mission to expose the evil workings of this elite organization. After his death, Paige is in a race against time to remember who she is, where she came from, and why her dreams seem more real than reality.
After coming into contact with this thing, I was beside myself when I went through and read my novel again. I saw myself as Paige – the girl lost in a world of which she had very little understanding. It was all there. Telepathy, the color-coded system (exemplified by auras of light in the book), genetic manipulation, discovering the key to immortality – what I saw in my art was the same thing I saw in everyone’s art. It was this thing that had taken over my life, this complex, indescribable, life-changing thing that I hated down to my very core. It was the devil’s DNA hidden in plain sight in my own work of art, but it was the little things that really stood out. It was the insignificant details that no one else would pick up on unless they experienced this thing for themselves. It was all there, the unintended symbolism that gained significance only after the fact, only after being passed through the fire, that’s how this thing works. It’s not just the main themes that stand out; it’s the visible that is hidden. It’s the subliminal. It’s the white fire verses the black fire.
I experienced this again when I read through my unfinished novel, the one that I’d been working on just before this thing took hold of my life, the one that I decided to put on hold after I got saved at my uncle’s funeral, the one in which I was already halfway through, the one titled, The Apple in the Birdcage. A prequel to Just Before Midnight, it’s a novel written in first person and narrated by an accomplished artist who makes masks for elite pedophiles. The main character is an ex-child prostitute who now caters to the very people who abused him as a child. The main themes include Satanic-ritual abuse, sexual exploitation, and multiple-personality disorder. If Just Before Midnight was the white fire, then The Apple in the Birdcage is the black fire. It is the visible that is visible. This book was to be my crown jewel. It was my oath, the apple of my eye, the riddle of my word: to take the devil’s gold and use it for God, to expose the evil workings of an elite organization, but I needed Gabriel as proof. I needed to travel back in time. I needed to remember who I was, where I came from, and why my dreams seemed more real than reality. If I was going to fall upon the sword of my tongue, I needed River Phoenix to help me expose the workings of this evil system.
At the start of this thing, not long after I set my blog to public, I received an email from someone calling themselves Stella Phoenix. I figured it had to be some kind of insider. She talked about having a spirit guide (who she claimed was Jim Morrison) and then told me that mine was probably River. I found it strange, of course, but she also sent me a screenshot of one of River’s first films, Stand by Me, and pointed out some of the symbolism claiming that it may help with my ongoing research. I was admittedly impressed with the find. River is seen spitting out water into a tin can with strange numbers and symbols painted on an old blue truck in the background. It was the water thing again. I couldn’t find the correlation between the importance of water, the occult, and how it all related to River’s fall that Halloween morning. Stella claimed she didn’t know what it meant either but figured this random screenshot was somehow important. And it was. This random screenshot exposed the light from these golden gods in a way I never thought possible, but who in the world was Stella? Incidentally, the name “Stella” is a feminine-given name of Latin and Italian origin meaning “star.” So, here’s the thing: she is either a fan just like me, an insider, or something entirely different. I don’t think it’s a fan.
Stand by Me was the devil’s DNA for River. Based on a short story by Stephen King, the movie depicts four boys in search of the dead body of their schoolmate Ray Brower. They discover him in the woods near Back Harlow road where he was struck by a train picking blueberries. At the end of the film, Ace and Eyeball Chambers arrive with their gang and attempt to lay claim to finding Ray’s body. River’s character, Chris Chambers, disputes the issue and is nearly killed when Ace puts a knife to his throat. He is saved at the last instant when his best friend, Gordie, fires off a gun. Fast forward to the future when the four friends are adults, we find out that Chris is killed while trying to break up a knife fight. To quote the film, “He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly.” So, Chris Chambers comes full circle and finally meets his fate dying from a knife wound. The name “Chris” is derived from the word “Christian” meaning “a follower of Christ” or “bearer of Christ.” His last name “Chambers” means a private room or space. In other words, “Chris Chambers” is the keeper and the temple of the word. He is the hanged man.
The above shot is from the junkyard scene where the four boys are spitting water into a rusted tin can. River is seated in front of an old blue truck with the number 236 written on it along with a splotch of white paint. This is, essentially, the handwriting on the wall or the magic eight ball predicting River’s fate. It is the masonic light, or the news from the spirit world foretelling the future roughly eight years before it came to pass. The fortune tells the how and when River will ultimately die – from passing through the fire on Halloween of 1993. The freezeframe of him spitting out the water symbolizes the flood. Like being drained of all fluids and turned to stone, it symbolizes the concept of a soul removal. It also represents the awakening of the kundalini flame rising up from the spine for the last time. River resembles a statue in the picture, like a fountain continuously spitting out water, his white shirt exemplifies the concept of being turned into a human idol and calcified like bone. Above the number 236, we see two strips of white paint that resemble a road or a sidewalk which is where River collapsed outside of the Viper Room. So, here we have the word (the water), the spirit (the blue truck), and the blood (River) agreeing in one. Here, we have the water cycle completing its course as River (like Chris Chambers) comes full circle and meets his fate.
Let’s break this image down:
The white splotch of paint can be thought of as a planchette or a Ouija pointer. Ouija boards are, of course, used to communicate with spirits. The planchette points to the number 36 with the clear area pointing to the number 3. To put this as simply as possible (as I am no mathematician), the number 36 represents the fulfillment of River’s fate or coming around full circle. It is also symbolic of the masonic square and compass. 36 is both the square of 6 and a triangular number, making it a square triangular number. A triangular number counts objects arranged in an equilateral triangle (like bricks in a pyramid). An equilateral triangle is a triangle that is equal on all three sides. The number 36 is the only triangular number (other than 1) whose square root (6) is also a triangular number. It is also a circular number (the compass), which is a square number that ends with the same integer by itself (6×6=36). Also, the sum of the integers from 1 to 36 is 666. In other words, River will come full circle and meet his fate on the Devil’s night (Halloween). The number 23 in 236 represents how old he was when he died, and as we will see, the number 236 represents his evolutionary tree.
As stated above, the clear area of the planchette points to the number 3 which represents a perverted version of the Godhead, or as some would say, the trinity. One of the most disputed and altered verses in the King James Bible is 1 John 5:7 which describes the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost as one:
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:7-8 KJV)
So, with these two verses we have a description of Jesus in heaven and on earth. Flip that upside down and you get the concept behind the golden gods. You get a different spirit, a different gospel, and a different book of DNA agreeing in one flesh. You get a different Jesus. The three that bear witness in earth (the spirit, the water, and the blood) describe what happened to River early Halloween morning except we have devils for the spirit, his movies for the water/ word, and his DNA (the blood) agreeing in one (his flesh). We have River obtaining the godhead which led to these three things: his death, burial, and resurrection. Like new gods that come newly up or a phoenix that bursts into flames and then rises from its ashes, River evolved to became as God.
The number 236 represents a phylogenetic tree or an evolutionary tree. There is a total of 236 different phylogenetic trees that represent the history of evolutionary divergences among species. A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram or “tree” showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities. It can be thought of as a “tree of life” which arose from ancient notions of a ladder-like progression from lower to higher forms of life. In other words, it’s evolution, baby. After passing through the fire early Halloween morning, River was grafted in to a tree whose fruits are out of this world yet after his own kind: the flesh.
So, who or what is Stella? Well, she is the product of the earthly realm coming together with the heavenly realm. She is an evolved human species and a devolved angelic being. She is a result of mingling mankind’s seed with the iron kingdom. She is Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. She is (despite my better judgement) an alien, and she is responsible for the prophecy on the old blue truck. We have three choices: one, the numbers (combined with the splotch of white paint) are merely coincidental; two, the editors of the film did it intentionally; or three, there’s a bigger conspiracy going on here.
If River’s life imitated his art then we must look at his first full feature film, Explorers. Released in 1985 (a year before Stand by Me), the movie depicts three teenage boys who build a spacecraft to explore outer space. The idea comes to them through a series of dreams where they envision flying through the clouds over a city-like circuit board. River’s character, Wolfgang Müller, builds an actual microchip that enables the generation of an electromagnetic bubble which surrounds a pre-determined area. The bubble is capable of moving at near-limitless distances and speeds without the usual ill-effects from inertia. Eventually, the boys build a spacecraft and travel into outer space where they meet two green-skinned aliens. These two aliens are the ones responsible for sending them the dreams in the hopes of meeting a human. Along with the two green-skinned aliens, the boys also meet a gigantic brown alien who turns out to be their father. The boys eventually return safely back to earth.
So, we have the gigantic brown alien (the father) representing the father of an alien race. In other words, we have the race of the giants. We have the sons of God mingling themselves with the seed of men (iron mixed with clay) resulting in the birth of the giants, or in this case, little green men. Like a daisy chain, these underground gods (like River) are connected to the aliens above, and likewise, the aliens are connected to a human host through the holy marriage. They are all connected, all being of one mind and of one body, all three agreeing in one flesh. The underground gods are the heart of a nation above and the heart of the machine. They are the birthplace of strange gods and of new gods that come newly up. They are the genetic donors of a tree whose fruits are out of this world. They are the old man giving birth to the new man.
Through books, movies, and eye witness accounts, our overall view of aliens is that of the fetus-looking gray alien with big black eyes, an oversized head, skinny arms and legs, and a pudgy-looking belly. Most people claiming to have had an encounter describe them as little people standing no more than four to five feet tall. Although the term “little green men” is often applied in popular culture, most people describe them as being gray in color. Like Tolkien’s Middle Earth, or combining the black fire with the white fire, these gray aliens are formed by the colliding of two worlds, or more to the point, the colliding of an atom with a subatomic particle resulting in a nuclear reaction. Think of the mushroom cloud produced after the detonation of an atomic bomb – that’s the concept here. Like a constant explosion that emits gas particles and energy into the air, these dying gods act as their own galaxy-forming Big Bang. Combine that theory with the intervention of a higher being, a god, and you get an evolved human being.
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7 KJV)
If we take this verse and flip it upside down, we have the dying gods as the dust of the ground (gas particles and energy), the gray alien as the formation of man, and the soul as the breath of life, thus, the concept of astral travel and the removal of the soul during the flood. These little green men are not men at all but seed of an evolutionary tree whose fruit is literally the devil’s DNA. As for the UFO phenomena, we can think of these flying saucers as shells for the developing seed. We can think of these silvery hat-shaped discs as spinning tops or wheels that house the soul of these underground gods. In Ezekiel 1:21, we see a picture of this concept in the description of the cherubims:
“When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.” (Ezekiel 1:21 KJV)
Like a whirlwind out of the south, these spinning wheels are the levitated wombs for a new kind of fruit. Combining iron (electricity) with clay (the dying god), an egg is formed that will eventually produce a little gray fetus-like alien, a new body for the soul to dwell. Although abstract at best, this is the concept behind the UFO. When atoms of light (in clouds of gas) are squeezed under pressure, a fusion reaction results in the birth of a star. Like a spiral, it expands outward and gets bigger and bigger, rapidly evolving into a new species. We see this concept exemplified in something known as the Fibonacci Sequence, which is a series of numbers (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34…) whose sum is of the two preceding ones. For example: the two is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the three is found by adding the numbers before it (1+2), and the five (2+3), and so on. When we make squares out of those widths, it forms a spiral that keeps going, growing larger as the numbers increase. We see this pattern everywhere throughout nature from flowers to pine cones to hurricanes to snails. Interestingly, if we take the sum of the first seven numbers of the Fibonacci Sequence (excluding 0), we get the number 33 (1+1+2+3+5+8+13=33). In Scottish Rite Freemasonry, there are thirty-three levels. Jesus was thirty-three when he was crucified on the cross, and there are thirty-three segments (vertebrae) in the human spinal column. So, when 33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall, wrote that the science behind “human regeneration” involved the “Spirit Fire” traveling up the spinal column and entering into “the domed chamber of the human skull,” no doubt, he was referring to the golden gods.
The Fibonacci Sequence is closely related to a number known as the Golden Ratio. Its symbol is the Greek letter “phi” and it is a number approximately equal to 1.618. It is found when dividing a line into two parts so that the long part divided by the short part is also equal to the whole length divided by the long part. It can be thought of as The Divine Proportion and is believed to produce the most eye-pleasing shapes, appearing many times in geometry, art, and architecture such as the Parthenon in Greece. Even basic structures (like a typical picture frame) have the Golden Ratio in them. In relation to the Fibonacci Sequence, the Golden Ratio would be the gaps in between the arms of the spiral or the lack thereof. It is the perfect ratio of negative space. It is the visible that is hidden. It is the perfect spiral that remains proportionate, growing bigger and bigger, seemingly, to infinity. Like the seeds in a sunflower with each new seed being formed after a turn, this is how these aliens are formed, cell by cell, rapidly evolving into these little gray men. New cell, then turn, another cell, then turn, and so on, spiraling into infinity – the Fibonacci Sequence perfectly in tune with the Golden Ratio, churning out new life from the golden gods in a quest for immortality, thus, the birth of Stella Phoenix, or Star Phoenix. Question is, is it still River? Well, it all leads back to the number seven.
Most Eastern religions and New Age practices believe that within our bodies exist seven energy centers called chakras. The term is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “wheel” or “disc.” Translated from the Hindi language, it means “wheel of spinning energy.” So, here we have another reference to wheels, discs, and spinning energy all leading up to the cosmic spiral and stellar evolution. Tantra teaches that kundalini energy rests like a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, but when this dormant energy flows freely upward through the seven chakras, it leads to an expanded state of consciousness. This is what they refer to as the kundalini awakening. It is what the Bible refers to as passing through the fire unto Moloch. It is what I described as the flood, but what are these energy centers, exactly?
In the Bible, we are told that Jesus cast out seven devils from Mary Magdalene, and again, in Matthew 12, he teaches that when an unclean spirit goes out of a man, that spirit will return with seven more if he finds the house empty, swept, and garnished:
“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.” (Matthew 12:43-45 KJV)
So, we have the seven Spirits of God vs. seven unclean spirits, seven chakras, or seven wheels. The human body truly is the Temple of God, and if a person is not filled with the seven Spirits of God (the spirit of the Lord, wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of God) then that house is susceptible to receiving something else – seven unclean spirits looking to quench their thirst.
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” (Isaiah 11:1-2 KJV)
The kundalini awakening can be thought of as the fruit of those unclean spirits. If we take the above verse and flip it upside down, the branch can be thought of as the sum of those spirits, the godhead that springs forth when the spirit fire travels up the thirty-three levels of the spinal column and into the domed chamber of the human skull. We can also think of the color wheel as an example of this concept: the seven colors of the rainbow equal seven unclean spirits or seven spinning wheels, and the sum of their total is the color white. The color white contains all wavelengths of visible light, all seven spirits agreeing in one, thus, River’s white shirt from the Stand by Me screenshot. These seven spirits, like the seven stars of the Pleiades or the seven stars of Orion, are the glue that binds these two worlds together. They are the main ingredients that make all of this possible. They are the gods attempting to be like the most High.
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?” (Job 38:31 KJV)
The above verse is a perfect example of these seven spirits (or seven stars) as the binding glue that holds these constellations in place. In the Book of Amos, we are told to “seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion,” and again, in the Book of Job, Orion is mentioned along with the Pleiades in reference to the power of God, “Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.” Like the four chambers of the heart, or the domed chamber of the human skull, or River’s character, Chris Chambers, from Stand by Me, these chambers house the seven influential spirits. So, to answer the question, is this new life form, Stella Phoenix, still River, the answer is yes, and no. She is the fruit of these seven spirits, the word made flesh, but not necessarily River. She is the chamber that houses his soul… or used to anyway.
The name, Pleiades, comes from the ancient Greek word meaning “to sail.” Also known as “The Seven Sisters,” the open star cluster resembles a tiny kite in the northern hemisphere during fall and winter months. In ancient times, pagan rituals on All Hallow’s Eve were set to occur when the Pleiades reached their highest point at midnight. To be clear, River collapsed outside of the Viper Room on All Hallow’s Eve just after midnight – a ritualistic soul removal initiated by the word of the seven sisters. Like string attached to a kite, he set sail, as it were, still linked to his earthly body as his soul traveled the astral plane. Practitioners of astral travel have claimed to have seen a silver cord linking the astral form to the physical body. In River’s case, this silver cord was the umbilical cord serving as the lifeline for a developing fetus. This rope or chain is, essentially, the word. When we consider the verse, “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades,” the sugar phosphate backbone of DNA comes to mind. Like amino acids forming protein chains, this silver cord is a DNA ladder connecting the earthly realm with the heavenly realm. It is the sweet word (the sugar phosphate backbone of DNA) of the seven sisters (the seven spirits) tried in a furnace of earth (the human body).
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” (Psalm 12:6 KJV)
In the end, God will let the souls go, even the souls that are made to fly. We see a picture of this in the Book of Ecclesiastes when the evil days are upon, and mourners go about the streets, and fears shall be in the way as man goeth to his long home:
“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” (Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 KJV)
When the daily sacrifice (collectively, the dying gods) is taken out of the way, the silver cord will be loosed and the lifeline cut off. The golden bowl (the golden gods) will no longer provide sustenance for an alien race. The fountain shall dry up and these gods shall fall to the earth as gravity takes hold. The word “gravity” literally means “weight.” We can think of the Greek god Atlas who was turned to stone and forced to carry the weight of the heavens – this is the concept behind the dying gods. They will no longer carry the weight of The Word, and when the wheel is broken at the cistern, the dust shall return to the earth and the spirit to God. Perhaps, when this happens, we will have at least one witness, returned again from the dead, as proof.
It all led back to that awkward moment. Two weeks without a bowel movement, I sat on the couch with my elderly aunt discussing a medical condition known as fecal impaction. Little did I know at the time, my DNA had been temporarily hijacked. Although my body eventually regulated, six months later I experienced “the flood.” Wave after wave, pins and needles burrowed into my forehead as tremors coursed through my limbs. Wave after wave.
This, so-called, cosmic energy coiled at the base of the spine is our own human waste recycled and transformed into new energy, thus, human regeneration or rebirth. Think of the large and small intestines coiled up around the base of the spine. The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place, and the large intestine, or colon, is the last part of the digestive system. It extracts water and salt from solid wastes before they are eliminated from the body. The colon is also the site where gut flora (microorganisms) ferment unabsorbed materials. Fermentation is a process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol, thus, the concept behind the flood. After coming into synch with one of these golden gods, like an intelligent bolt of lightning, the spirit spouse takes over the biological wheel after the holy marriage. The results are quite physical sparking a transformation or regeneration of the digestive system. Indeed, one commonly reports the kundalini experience to be a feeling of an electrical current running along the spine. Numerous accounts describe unwanted side effects commonly referred to as the Kundalini Syndrome. Some of the most common symptoms include: electricity coursing throughout the body, involuntary shaking and jerking, itchy and sweaty limbs, waves of intense pleasure or bliss (even leading to orgasm), uncontrollable mood swings, erratic breathing, internal voices and lights – this is exactly what had happened to me. This was the power of the serpent. This was the devil’s DNA.
Think of the stomach like a cauldron (the word “cauldron” literally means “hot bath”). When the golden god mingles itself with the seed of man (DNA), it takes over the digestive system. The stomach becomes a pressure cooker, the belly of the beast so to speak, where the chemical transformation takes place. The stomach turns the breakdown of organic matter into a highly acidic mixture of gastric juices, hydrogen and methane gases, natural metals and minerals in the body, as well as phosphates. However, instead of the body disposing of these wastes, it harvests and recycles it into energy. Think of Macbeth and the three witches gathered around the cauldron chanting “double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble” – the stomach is literally the witch’s cauldron. In alchemy, this stage is known as Dissolution (or to dissolve). The next stage, Separation, is described by The Emerald Tablet as “The Wind Carried It in its Belly.” The Emerald Tablet is an ancient collection of Egyptian and Greek wisdom texts believed to hold the secrets behind alchemy and the philosopher’s stone. The Separation Stage would then refer to a soul removal (separating the soul from the body), and the wind would be the kundalini flame. Wind, as it were, is the movement of gases, air and charged particles, so, like stirring the cauldron, the wind or pure energy forms an up-flow vortex (a whirlwind) that travels up the spinal column and into the brain. The stomach literally gives birth to the kundalini flame.
Using the film Back to the Future as an example, the DeLorean (the time machine car) uses garbage as fuel and features a generator referred to as Mr. Fusion. Think of the car as the human body and Mr. Fusion as the golden god. The flux capacitor is the core component of the time machine and consists of a rectangular-shaped compartment with three flashing Geissler-style tubes (gas discharge tubes) arranged in a “Y” configuration. The rectangle-shaped compartment represents the human body, and the “Y” configuration represents the spinal column and thorax. Thus, the kundalini flame (the gas/energy) travels up the spinal column into the heart as well as the entire body. Doc describes the flux capacitor as “what makes time travel possible,” and although the film does not describe exactly how it works, Doc mentions that the stainless-steel body of the DeLorean has a direct effect on the “flux dispersal,” which implies that natural metals in the body help fuel the flame. The definition of flux is “a flow of liquid from the body, or a constant movement or change,” so, we have the silver cord flowing from the dying god causing him to fly in a silver spacecraft. Using nuclear fusion, the body becomes a chariot of iron. The DeLorean, after all, has gull-wing doors like a seabird.
Towards the end of the film, Doc outfits the car with a large pole and hook in order to channel the power of a lightning bolt into the flux capacitor. Here again, we have an example of the silver cord as well as the golden gods triggering the kundalini flame that rises out of the stomach. As the time machine nears 88 mph, light from the flux capacitor begins pulsing more rapidly until it becomes a steady stream. Surrounded by electrical current, the whole car vanishes in a flash of white/blue light leaving behind a pair of fiery tire tracks. In other words, the soul is separated from the body as it travels the astral plane. In the film, Doc originally conceived the idea for the flux capacitor when he slipped and hit his head on the bathroom sink while hanging a clock. So, here we have the symbolism of the holy marriage and coming into synch with a dying god, the zeitgeber, the time-giver. When you know what to look for, this idea is everywhere – books, movies, music, advertising, video games – this mystery teaching is embedded in almost everything.
In esoteric Judaism, this concept is exemplified in the mystical symbol known as the Kabalistic Tree of Life. Much like the phylogenetic tree, the tree of life is a diagram usually consisting of 10 nodes symbolizing different archetypes and 22 lines connecting the nodes. Although presented as a sort of spiritual guide to enlightenment, the Kabalistic Tree of Life is more accurately a diagram outlining the physical transformation of man with the ten nodes representing the ten major organ systems of the human body:
- The Circulatory System –Heart, blood vessels, etc
- Digestive System – mouth, stomach, etc
- Endocrine System – pituitary, thyroid, etc
- Integumentary System – skin, hair, sweat glands, etc
- Muscular System
- Nervous System – brain, spinal cord, nerves
- Respiratory System – lungs, larynx, etc
- Skeletal System
- Urinary System – kidneys, bladder, etc
- Reproductive System
When the golden gods take over the wheel via neurons (cells) in the brain, the result is a physical transformation that occurs when all 10 systems have been hijacked. And if cells are the building blocks of life, it makes sense to conclude that the golden gods are building new temples for themselves. By rearranging cells, new patterns of life emerge. The 22 lines or paths connecting the ten nodes represent the 22 known amino acids which are responsible for creating protein chains. They can be thought of as the letters of the words of the book of DNA, and we can think of the golden gods as a virus that redirects or rewrites God’s Book of Life (DNA), thus, life begins to imitate art. Freemasons refer to their god as “the Great Architect of the Universe,” which is, collectively, the aliens. In many esoteric teachings, The Tree of Life is said to contain a hidden node, or an eleventh node, when including all ten as one whole. This would represent the new life form (the alien) that is created through a new book of life. This would represent the fruit of the word or the alchemical child. Sometimes referred to as the Hermaphrodite Child of the Sun and Moon, the alchemical child is a term used to describe the finished product of The Great Work. This is the true secret behind alchemy – finding the gold within. Like turning base metals into gold, or humans into stone, the physical transformation of the dying gods into a new life form is accomplished through the seven steps of alchemy:
First, we have Calcination which involves heating a substance to a high temperature in air or oxygen until it is reduced to ashes. According to New Age/Eastern mystics, Calcination begins in the Base or Lead Chakra at the base of the spine. This stage represents coming into contact with a spirit spouse who takes over the biological wheel. It represents the holy marriage and the breakdown of organic matter in the digestive system.
The second stage is Dissolution. Once the solid is heated and reduced to ashes (calcination), it is then dissolved into a liquid (dissolution). According to New Age/Eastern mystics, dissolution is the opening of the floodgates. New energy is generated from the waters held back. It is described as “the flow” and is the continuance of the kundalini experience. Dissolution takes place in the Genital or Tin Chakra.
Next, we have Separation which is the isolation of the components of Dissolution. In other words, separation from the earthly realm, astral projection, and the removal of the soul. Separation begins in the Naval or Iron Chakra located at the level of the solar plexus.
Conjunction is the fourth stage. Here, we have the recombination of the saved elements from Separation into a new substance. In other words, it is the birth of a new life form. Sometimes called the Child of the Union, or The Lesser Stone, Conjunction takes place in the Heart or Copper Chakra. The alchemist describes this fragile child as a crude hermaphrodite.
Next, we have Fermentation, which is the introduction of a new life, that is, to raise it to a new level of being. Chemically, fermentation is the growth of bacteria in organic solutions such as the fermenting of grapes to make wine. The Fermentation phase then begins with the introduction of new life into the product of Conjunction to strengthen it and insure its survival. It is the rousing of living energy (chi or kundalini) from the Throat or Mercury Chakra. In other words, it is incubating the egg.
Distillation is the sixth stage and involves purification. According to New Age/Eastern mystics, “Distillation is raising the Life Force repeatedly from the lower regions in the cauldron of the body to the brain, where it eventually becomes a wondrous solidifying light full of power.” It is said to culminate in the Third Eye area of the forehead, at the Level of the pituitary and pineal glands, in the Brow or Silver Chakra. According to the Emerald Tablet, “It rises from Earth to Heaven, and then descends again to the Earth, and receives Power from Above and from Below. Thus you will have the Glory of the whole world.” So, here we have the silver cord and the wheel of spinning energy churning out new life from earth to heaven, seemingly, until infinity.
The seventh and final stage is Coagulation, which is to change to a solid or semi-solid state. This is the birth of an alien, or the birth of Stella Phoenix. According to New Age/Eastern mystics, it is “the Second Body, a body of solid light that emerges through the Crown or Gold Chakra,” thus, the golden gods.
