Actor River Phoenix once said, “I don’t want to die in a car accident. When I die it’ll be a glorious day. It’ll probably be a waterfall.” Early Halloween morning in 1993, River would meet his fate and fulfill his own prophesy. Although the official story declares his death to be the result of a drug overdose, a true Hollywood conspiracy lies just beyond the shadows. Indeed, it’s these shadows that ultimately took his life.
Like the boogie man hiding under the bed, or a camouflaged hunter lurking in the trees, River’s assailants remain invisible to the naked eye. They are the hidden handlers, unclean spirits and lesser gods controlling the industry from behind the curtains. They are the possessing spirits responsible for passing victims through the fire, which is exactly how River died.
His name alone points to the manner of his death—River aka water, and phoenix aka the fire bird—but while the name River Phoenix may appear to celebrate the Masonic bath, the man behind the name rebelled against Hollywood’s occult ways. By all accounts, River died trying to expose the very secret layered into his own name.
Director William Richert once commented, “it’s almost as if the devil killed River.” As we will see, he was more or less correct. From the numerology of River’s birth and death to the prophetic lyrics of his song Soul Removal, it becomes clear that his death was anything but an accidental overdose.
In River, we have indisputable evidence that, number one, the baptism of fire is real, and number two, after passing through the fire victims soon discover their lives imitate their art. Dreams become visions, art becomes reality, and the future becomes a game of signs and clues. In other words, after eating of the fruit they become as gods knowing good and evil via the light from the spirit world. In some cases, they may even discover the outcome of their own fate.
River’s fate exposes the biggest occult secret known to mankind, and through decades of song lyrics, album art, photo shoots, movies and interviews, his story is finally brought to light by the people who loved him the most, and by River himself.
Let there be Light
Before delving too deeply into River’s story we must first understand the concept behind the Masonic light. The motto of the craft is, after all, “let there be light.” This so-called light is often referred to as the news or signs in the Masonic system and is nothing more than messages from the spirit world. These messages can appear anywhere and everywhere. From freeway billboards to songs on the radio, television programs, a stranger’s phone conversation, or even a homeless man on the street, the news is virtually unavoidable.
In the world of pop culture, the news is often brought to light through music, advertisements, magazines, movies, etc. Below are just a few examples of the news appearing in film clips, comic books, television programs, and movie posters prior to the 911 attacks on New York’s Twin Towers.
These soft-pedaled harbingers are not the works of some underground cabal of mystery men and women; they are the results of familiar spirits working through the artists, set designers, writers and directors responsible for churning out the material. These spirits are the rulers of the darkness of this world and the spiritual wickedness in high places.
The Masonic light or news from the spirit world is a type of predictive programming that becomes apparent only after the prophecy comes to pass. However, those who are well-versed in the hidden language may spot these messages before the predicted event takes place. This concept is further exemplified in Simon and Garfunkel’s hit song The Sound of Silence:
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
And the words that it was forming
And the sign said,
“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls,
And tenement halls.”
And whispered in the sound of silence
The neon god (or golden god) is most likely a reference to the Masonic light. Throughout the Old Testament signs are given by God via His prophets as a way to let His people know who His prophets are and what the people of Israel can expect from their God. Flip this upside down and you get the workings of the Masonic system where nearly everyone is a prophet and everything is a sign from “God.” Take, for instance, these lyrics from the classic rock group Five Man Electrical Band:
“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind, do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?”
(Signs, Five Man Electrical Band)
To victims of the Masonic system, the messages or news from the spirit world can be a maddening experience when viewed on a personal level. Like malware infecting the hard drive of a computer, the “news” infects the victim’s brain and redirects their thoughts. Billboard advertisements or some sort of reoccurring reference to cancer may cause victims to believe they will soon develop the illness. News stories, songs, or conversations about guns may lead victims to believe that, if they don’t comply, they’re likely to be shot. The signs have the potential of being anywhere, anybody, or anything.
Surrealist artist Rene Magritte described his paintings as conceptualizing the hidden vs the visible or “the visible that is hidden.” This is essentially the signs, news and light of the Masonic system. They are hidden in plain view, inescapable yet invisible to the uninitiated; they are the workings of the hidden handlers where the spirit world meets the material world. The light forms the evil net, or the spider web that traps victims in an invisible birdcage. Like rats in a maze, victims are lost in a seemingly normal world that (in their mind’s eye) is anything but normal.
In short, the Masonic light is the workings of other gods. After passing through the fire victims become keenly aware of these other gods and their seemingly prophetic messages. Preceding events, reoccurring dreams, and early works of art suddenly begin to make sense as everything comes together forming a bigger picture, or a perfect circle of life. Fate is suddenly brought to light as the events in a person’s life reveal their true intention. The handwriting on the wall is deciphered, and destiny appears through the dissipating fog of the crystal ball. Through the trappings of the birdcage, victims enter a maze of their own lives where they are likely to discover a pre-determined path. This is, essentially, the Tree of Good and Evil, and it begs the question, are we slaves to our own destiny? In River’s case, the answer is yes.
