Bravo!! Outstanding insights. Both part 1 & 2 are very well done. Mr. Weidner truly has the eye to see the veiled Truth.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could sit down and converse with this man. Cubed Brick LOL! Brilliant. I would add to part 1 that the day "Jack" was to be caretaker until, May 1st, is also quite relevant. Beltane/May Day, as in a call of distress perhaps.
Just a thought. Also the Monolith, Mon = Moon. As in Monday = Moons Day. And Lilith. A black or New Moon is called a Lilith Moon. I would also not be surprised if 2001 A Space Odyssey was released on a Lilith Moon/Black Moon. A bit of research will reveal to any interested mind that many MANY significant events occur, not coincidentally, on a Black Moon. Interestingly there was a Black Monolith shaped skyscraper, clearly visible in the WTC complex footage during the collapse. I could go on and on with this spectrum of arcana but I will simply depart by quoting Arthur C. Clark, “It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God, but to create him.”
Yes it certainly seems as though his cinematic artistry, as with other exceptional artists who've used encoded esoteric secrets like Botticelli, Cosimo, da Vinci, Bosch, Baldung, Durer, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya, Dali, Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner, into their creations was a conscious effort to convey a mysterious message to the initiated. The true meanings are deliberately concealed from the profane. Another thought...are we so sure Kubrick was the one who actually possessed this profound knowledge...or is he merely the man chosen to direct this vision of esoteric Hermetic coded wisdom? Much like he directed the Moon Landing Hoax. Hmmmm I might add also that the Encyclopedia of Wicca and Witchcraft states the earliest representation of the Moon Deity was known to be a "Black Obelisk" or a "Black Stone". That is where Islam gets its Kaaba (the black cube) (Kabbala or Kaaba-Allah)) and its black stone which "fell from heaven (the sky)". Chaldean means "Moon Worshippers" and Judaism is a lunar cult, which is why their calendar (mon-ths) are based on the lunar cycle and their day begins at sunset. The Babylonian's built the tower of Babel to try to reach the "Moon God". Hermes Trismegistus/Thoth was also symbolized by a stone pillar.
ReplyDeleteThis is a subject that holds great fascination for me and I have much documented research in this area. Would like to hear other thoughts on this topic if anybody else has similar insights.
If people want to view pure, cinematic genius, they should watch Carl Dryer's 1927 silent film, "The Passion of Joan of Arc." Dryer burns his lens into the very soul of man, creating an alchemical crucible in which leaden humanity can be seen undergoing the transmutation into gold. Rene Falconetti, who played Joan, displayed a luminosity and a depth of human passion that I have never seen in film, and she created this symphonic chiaroscuro of emotions without sound. She and Dryer gave full meaning to Herman Melville's statement in MOBY DICK: How much greater is it to look into the human eye than into the heart of God.
ReplyDelete"2001" created some magnificent imagery, but the true genius in the film was Richart Strauss and his theme, "Also Sprach Zarathustra." Strauss' mentor, Wagner, created even greater themes that were composed in realm of the Titans and which echoed both the creation and destruction of man and the gods. If Kubrik could have captured the soul of Wagner and forged it onto celluloid, he would have taken his place among the immortals.
Niceee!!!
ReplyDeleteHeck when i was a teenager,i watched"Full Metal Jacket".
At the time,i was mulling over my options about joining the Military.
But
"Full Metal Jacket" was the deciding factor to my decision not to enlist.
when i speak to military,that's exactly how basic training went.
May 1st, socialist day of the workers and Catholic day of Mary. It's about superstition. Holy Hypocrisy. And 2001: A Space Odyssey, refers to art in general, rather than the story told. Astrology and Alchemy are not the same, and Cabala again is a total other thing based on the Hebrew Alphabet. The movie might also be a magical or smart trick, in order to get away with the moon hoax involvement. Another funny legends in the start of the movie, that man started with apes. Billions and billions of years ago... It story starts with Cain and Abel, the first murder. Didn't Adam need clothes, instead of hair?
ReplyDelete@Bosgeus...So many of your assumptions are just plain wrong that I wouldn't even know where to begin in trying to enlighten you. I recommend you simply refrain from giving your opinion on subjects that are obviously far beyond your ability to understand.
