Jeff: How much I enjoyed your “Folklore and Fossils” article in Geo News, January, 2012. Particularly Figure 2 by Becky Barnes comparing the mammoth skull with the skull of the mythological Cyclops. The center eye or “third eye” lives on today as the bindi – the red dot on the forehead between the eyes worn by Hindu women, represented in Hindu art as an eye.

It marks intuition or advanced consciousness. It appears to correlate with the Corpus Callosum, the part of the brain in the middle which connects the abstract, creative right brain with the logical left brain.

I noticed years back that this becomes a kind of mental projection in art and architecture which I write about: Washington, D.C. was wisely chosen as the natural “benign center” between the agrarian South (right brain) and the industrial North (left brain). This illustration of the Ile de la Cite in Paris carried a thousand years of history in Europe (400 ad to 1400 ad), holding the artists on the left bank and the politicians and bankers on the right bank together and keeping them apart. In this colored picture it even looks like a brain illustration.

This can even be seen in Mathematics in the picture of the rising numbers identified as > and the receding numbers as <. The “third eye” is then 0; neither advancing (like the left brain) or receding (like the right brain) but holding them together.

RE "Mormon Matters" note

(LDS Baptismal font resembles UFO as does the oculous eye in early Church architecture. Steve Jobs last words, "The spaceship has landed.")

Do not overlook the Tree and the Snake in the story: There you can see what Taoism calls the shift from wu chi or unmanifest karma, to tai chi, or action in time. Adam and Eve represent then the yin and the yang entering time, the Tree and Snake cosmic expressions, Adam and Eve external manifestations of the cosmic.

RE UFOs: Mormons should be fully familiar with Swiss psychologist C.G. Jung’s manuscript: “UFOs a Modern Myth of things seen in the sky.” Jung writes that we enter a new age in the zodiac, the Age of Aquarius. And just as the previous age, Pisces was marked by the birth of the Christ it was indicated by the dreams and apparitions of Angels. Today, UFOs should be seen as the same kind of indicators, marking the rise of a new realm, in my opinion no doubt led by Mormons. If you Google “map UFOs” and “map Mormons” they precisely overlap; the “angels” this time mark the rise of the indigenous visions in the desert and the rise of Mormon.
If you take a look at my web site Water Wood and a Wolf on one of the pages I have pictures of UFOs and how they form oculus architecture precisely like that in the Hagia Sophia and the earliest churches of Christianity.



Hollywood portrays outer space creatures with big oval-shaped heads and skinny torso: This represents a fear of the unconscious as our minds rise from earth to space in the 20th century. Mormons view as “brothers and sisters.” This is the way the Cullen family is portrayed in the Twilight series; it represents the human race becoming accommodated to space and opens the gate to Mormons influence and ideas. We see that now in the rise of Romney and Huntsman and the “anti-cult” Evangelicals losing their influence.

Tarot Death card and 9/11

On Jan. 30, 2011

Marty: In one of my first essays in 1978 I was writing about the druid aspects of Earth Day celebrations in New York, writing for the Philly Daily News. I wrote: "But who, except perhaps the photographer, could have predicted the primal communion of the circle and the square, with the sun trapped on Page One of the New York Daily News on May 4, [1978] between the steel and glass altar pillars of the World Trade Center? Exactly as it was trapped 3,000 years ago between the walls of Stonehenge, as day broke on the summer solstice."

I noticed recently while explaining to a woman about a figure in Dali paintings from 1932 to 1943 that the "Death" card in Tarot contained the exact same expression of sun and towers (far right above the Bishop's head.

Then this on 9/11:

Tree/Snake - Merlin and Vivien

This picture by Gustave Gore of Merlin and Vivien shows through the artist presentation the Self and Anima - Merlin and Vivien - as extension of the Tree and the Snake - Vivien winds down as Snake with roots. Tree and Snake are cosmic yin and yang - yin and yang in nature - with Merlin and Vivien as external manifestations into the world; abstractions or charicature forms of cosmic yin and yang. The "inside and the outside":

War and creativity

War runs a parrallel event in creativity; the between the war period in the '20s and '30s as well as the Sixties. these pictures by Salvador Dali show the Christ in war and peace.

1943 (candle in head; enlightened one - oil drips form Christ wound - Texas Jesus in desert. Arms are gone - no longer holds universe together (see Black's Four Boas). The naked man has been in Dali's pictures for 20 years morphing as a knight on horseback similar to the "death" card in zodiac.:



This in 1951:



This in 1954:

Ursa movet molem

"She bear moves the world."

This - the carving in stone of a Russian bear gently moving a ball (the world)- should be considered the rise of Dov Ber of Mezeritch and the rise and return of the orthodoxy to Israel - the restoration of Temple Mount and the "return of the king" will result from that. This carving of the "female bear" - the yin wisdom - on C.G. Jung's crypt in Bollingen which he carved himself. He saw himselph as the spiritual colleague of Dov Ber.

Here is another, Nikolsburger Rebbe of Monsey:



The carvings on Jung's crypt include a horse - Pegasus - considered to be the harbinger of Aquarius. The pimary elements of rising aeon Aquarius should be considered the rise of the Mormons (yang) and Hari Khrishna (yin - including the very popular Dali Lams)- as Tibet is dispursed to the western states (" . . . land of the red faced men" in its prophecy) Jerusalem is reconverged with restoration of Temple Mount and rise of king.

William Blakes's Four Zoas

William Blake's "egg" picture divides into four "castles" - a quaternity. As said below, these are the "personality types" - I told my Israeli friend that the four "houses" of aeon Pisces - Orthodox, Islam, Catholic, Protestant should be considered the four "types." Jerusalem, Temple Mount, being the egg. This is the core diagram of all cosmic religion.

- from Jon Green's site:


"There are four great ‘daimons’ or god-figures who appear in much of his major work, called the Four Zoas. Occasionally the names change but the meaning is generally clear. They correspond to those divisions of psychological functioning described by Jung. Los or Urthona (corresponding to Intuition) is the Spirit of Prophecy, the divine vision, a figure similar to the classical Phoebus Apollo. The name possibly derives from Sol (sun) spelled backwards, or from ‘earth-owner’. Urizen (corresponding to Thinking) and perhaps derived from ‘your reason’ is the Spirit of Thought, Eternal Mind; his ‘steeds’ are thoughts. The silver mountains of Urizen are where wisdom dwelt. He is also a law giver, and in some ways similar to Zeus. Luvah or Orc (corresponding to Feeling) is Prince of Love, Eros, Eternal Youth , sometimes called Red Orc -- the fiery boy. The names derive possibly from ‘lover’ or ‘hawk of May’. Tharmas (corresponding to Sensation) represents the corporeal Waters of Matter, the fluid matrix of form. He appears as a kind of great demon of the waters, a Neptune or Poseidon figure."

Note that these four states also correspond to the four worlds of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and to the four elements :

Atziluth (Emanation) Fire Intuition The Self
Briah (Creation) Air Thinking Language, Abstraction, Reason
Yetzirah (Formation) Water Feeling Emotions, Drives, Feeling
Assiah (Action) Earth Sensation Perception, Imagination, Instinct, Reproduction

In Diana Wynne Jones/Mayazaki's great work "Howl's Moving Castle" Howl has a dial by his door which he can turn to any of the four quaters; the four together forming Castle:



Likewise Jung's four personality types accessed by The Trickster with lantern:



Which is pretty much the same as the Mandala of Vajrabhairava:



And in the Christian realm the cross (two sticks; fire in the Greek) forms the four castles of the universe with the Christ (the egg) in center/Self holding them together and apart - quite literally nailing the four corners of the universe together. The spear indicates the inward action of the introvert/shaman of the inner world as spear in hand of a soldier indicates guide to outer world. This one by Fra Angelica:
