KIN NOTES

SEAL II

11-2-93

now follows another significant passage:

Brent: You centinal to us. Yeatness has tunes tempting for you.
Tom: Who’s Yeatness. Name, nickname, description?
Brent: No.
Tom: Person?
Brent: Yes.
Tom: Tell me.
Brent: Has tested Adam for you ( Adam is a retarded client in the dorm that was able to FC alittle. I’m not sure what he’s trying to say here.) You are having damn hard time living on the beach, yet yen to continue work. You believe in Tao. Yoke is on. We make rays mean something to you. Hear you at taping, feel very comfortable with it.

“Yeatness” alludes to a poet, probably

all prophets are poets, some poets are prophets

Yeats, of course, was the Irish mage who wrote “The Second Coming”

instrumental in the “Celtic Revival,” Yeats was a herald of the Lia Fail, the Kingstone of the Goddess

so perhapsy the person to whom the Boys refer is either an incarnation of Yeats, or is like Yeats (“Yeatness”)

. . . maybe a modern Finn McCool (“Fin” being the Celtic/Irish “sun god”)

this “Yeatness-poet” has “tested Adam for you” -- suggesting transformation at primal levels (see above discussion of the “first” and “last” Adam)

"testing Adam" also suggests "Tas" from the Hittite/Khatti seal, the "Trial of Adam" (see, e.g., Figure 57 at http://www.jrbooksonline.com/pob/pob_ch21.html) -- a.k.a. Teshub, Tashub, Tascio, Dias, Tarhunt etc. – the “Storm” or “Sky” god

in one Sumerian myth, the god Zu is brought to supernal “trial” before the “Seven Great Annunaki,” in fashion similar to the Hittite depiction, by the “Sky God” and his brother Tasmisus

Zu’s weapon was a whirlwind, and his “capture” was accomplished by firing “weapons” at the whirlwind’s “pinions”

George Bush Jr.’s Inaugural Address of Jan 20, 2001, ended thus:

After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ``We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?''

Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.

We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.

Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.

This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

God bless you all, and God bless America.

thassa lotta whirlwinds for one little speech! and Iraq is a strange place to invade looking for “weapons of mass destruction” . . . unless, perhaps, one is interested in “martial antiquities”

Zecharia Sitchin adds:

[T]he conspiracy of Zu and his evil plotting remained also in mankind's memory, evolving into a fear of birdlike demons who can cause affliction and pestilence. Some of these demons were called Lillu, a term that played on the double meaning "to howl" and "of the night"; their female leader, Lillitu - Lillith - was depicted as a naked, winged goddess with birdlike feet. The many shurpu ("purification by burning") texts that have been found were formulas for incantations against these evil spirits - forerunners of the sorcery and witchcraft that had lasted throughout the millennia.

given the context of firing “weapons” into a” whirlwind’s pistons” (nucleus?), NASA’s scheduled missile-impact of the comet Tempel I on July 4, 2005, is also relevant here [for more on Tempel I, see below]

another Hittite seal circa 2500 B.C.E. shown in L.A. Waddell’s The Phoenician Origin of Britons, Scots & Anglo-Saxons depicts the “Archangel Tas” interceding with the Father-God Indara on behalf of a “sick man” attacked by this dragon-bird, the Dragon of Death or basilisk/cockatrice

Brent’s “has tested Adam” suggests the past-tense and an alchemical phrasing, with overtones of homunculi, homo noeticus, filius macrocosmi, perhaps the son of the Crowned Woman of Revelation 12, who “will rule all the nations with an iron sceptre” (the Word) -- a “New Adam,” a re-creation not only of original man (Adam Kadmon) but of a novel masculinity

but one thing’s for sure: this planet -- what Adrian called “Joy” -- needs MEN, not grabby primates, to lead her

Everybody’s ills fills her with compassion
that’s why she tries to save the world alone
she helps the needy in her own fashion
and tries to give them all her own
she needs an answer to her confusion
someone to guide her with tenderness . . .

“Rock Me” (John Kay)

Brent’s “yoke is on” might refer to the social status of masculinity in the modern West -- but "yoke" also fits with the recently cited Hittite seal of the "Trial of Adam" in which a "prisoner" is led to judgment before "Father Ia"

Brent's "we make rays mean something to you” could suggest many things – including solar rays and/or a proper name (e.g., my middle name is Ray)

it may also be a covert reference to the “dark rays” emitted by the outer sun, and by the “light rays” emitted by sol niger, the inner son of the Hermetic Tradition

note that the Boys elsewhere recommend playing the Tunes for the Mormons

Brigham Young suggested that Adam didn’t “beget progeny of natural depravity,” resulting in a Fall, but instead begat “gigantic” psycho-spiritual Sons – e.g., the host or primal horde “ fell’ into incarnation, spiraled down into sublunary, archonic mater

that Fall initiated the spiritualization of matter, of the Earth, with the “sons of god” acting as conservator and impregnator of magna mater, adding novelty and relflectivity in dualistic consciousness – in the Gnostic/bardic traditions, they became Prisoners of Love, watchers and shepherds (or, a la Enoch and others, depraved mutants responsible for the purgative Flood)

or both! LOL!

this suggestion dovetails with the Boys’ claim that this “Yeatness” has “tested Adam,” because a fundamental tenet of “traditional” Mormonism is the equivalence of Adam and Archangel Michael (Mormonism holds that normal, mortal humans can “evolve” into angels, that such beings walk Earth as humans, and that humans can merit a type of godhood, expressed as celestial bodies)

in a public sermon on April 9, 1852, Brigham Young declared:

Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and sinner! When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days! about whom holy men have written and spoken--He is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non-professing, must hear it, and will know it sooner or later ... the earth was organized by three distinct characters, namely, Eloheim, Yahovah, and Michael, these three forming a quorum, as in all heavenly bodies, and in organizing element, perfectly represented in the Deity, as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, pp. 50-51).

more from Brigham Young:

Some years ago (9 to be exact) I advanced a doctrine with regard to Adam being our Father and God. That will be a curse to many of the elders of Israel because of their folly with regard to it. They yet grovel in darkness and will. It is one of the most glorious revealments of the economy of heaven. Yet the world holds it in derision. (Manuscript Addresses of Brigham Young, Oct 8, 1861).

the Mormon Doctrine adds this:

He [Adam] sat in the council of the gods in the planning of the creation of this earth, and then, under Christ, participated in the creative enterprise .... Adam (with the exalted title of Michael the Archangel) led the hosts of the righteous in the war in heaven. (Rev. 12:7-9.) ... holds the keys of salvation over all the earth (MD, pp. 16,17) . . . Adam is known as the Ancient of Days (MD, p. 34) . . . [A]t this council, all who have held keys of authority will give an account of their stewardship to Adam (MD, p. 21).

this aspect of Mormonism initially was received luke-warmly (at best) and is still a major bone of contention amongst modern L.D.S.

the Sumerian and Hittiite seals, Brigham Young, the Qumran Scrolls, Tempel I, and Qim Tunes concord in Michaeline associations, and Brent’s use of the phrase “has tested Adam” infers initiation, especially of a fraternal character – reminiscent of Geof’s snarky “introspection” in Seal VI:

Geof finds past lives for, um, pissed motherfuckers (me). Test greatness in meiun (men).

writing on Rennes-le-Chateau, William Henry remarks:

Finally, perched like a phoenix on the edge of this island of tranquility, I realized I was standing on top of a temple/machine. The Mandaens, an offshoot of the Essenes who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, believed a 'secret' Adam would one day return to Earth to build a machine to transport the souls back to heaven. Like the Great Pyramid and Chartres cathedral, this machine is designed to deflect the ignorant and force the brave to ask questions; the answers to which leave us reborn as children of the universe. Here, at Rennes, I was smack in the middle of one of these machines.

in Rennes-le-Chateau lore, the surrounding mountains constitute an Osiric/Adamic ritual chamber, artificed by (s)tones, with the antediluvial, primal “king” conserved under the central mountain (axis mundi, or center of the Earth -- or by extension, the galactic core)

Brent’s “Yeatness” might have “tested Adam for you” of preparing a person, group, or entire genetic “substructure” of the species for “temple restoration work” -- the Djedi-like process of “building” a passageway “back to heaven” – or in a Grail-context, conservation of the ancient world’s wisdom, whether by bloodline, etheric compendium, recapitulation of primal group-consciousness, or otherwise

(compare this “gateway” or “Adamic chamber” with this line from Jeffrey Powell Jr.’s poem, “In Jupiter’s Realm Waiting”: Three ways freedom could be won and that one remains closed.)

as cautionary, here’s a quote from the online article “LDS Endowment and Masonic Initiation” pointing out certain similarities between Masonic and Mormon initiatory ceremonies:

Man reperesenting Adam in masonic ceremony (Knights of the Sun Degree): ‘Thrice Puissant Grand Master, representing Father Adam, is stationed in the east’

“Man representing Adam in mormon ceremony: ‘Elohim’ -- (Turning to the audience) -- 'This man who is now being operated upon is Michael who helped form the world. When he awakes ... he will be known as Adam’

(an “operation,” in this context, is a magickal “working” or ritual, and this aspect of the ceremony mirrors the “fall” of god into man)

and there’s this from Islamic Spirituality (p.327):

Israfil (the Metatron...the Angel of the Lord's Presence on the Tree of Life)...delivers commands, places spirits within bodies, and will blow the trumpet on the last day. With one of his Four wings he fills the West, with the second he fills the East, with the third he descends from heaven to earth, and with the fourth he keeps himself veiled. His two Feet are below the Seventh earth (understand the imagery), and his Head reaches the pillars of the Throne. When God wants something to happen in creation, He causes the pen to write upon the tablet (see Habakkuk 2:1-3), which is situated between Israfel's eyes (the mind of God), and then Israfel relays the commands to Michael.

the “tron” of Metatron is reminiscent of “electronic,” and “Meta” is fairly self-evident, suggesting an overarching, collective mind

likewise, the phrase “places spirits within bodies” reminds me of:

Tom: What is meant by "Holy Spirit"?
Brent: Your phrase.
Tom: Accounting?
Brent: We help find future lives.

as in the Book of Enoch and other apocrypha, this Adamic Trial refers, in part, to the introduction of "higher" technology/order of consciousness, and is interpreted as a "sin" by the father-god of the existing Order.

Sumerologist Lawrence Waddell:

Our key-list to this Circle script of the Sumerians thus discloses that the scene engraved on this sacred Sumerian seal is the famous trial scene in the Chaldean epic of "How Adam broke the Wing of the Stormy South Wind" -- an epic of which several copies have been unearthed in Babylonia in cuneiform tablets. This epic relates that "Adam, the Son of God Ia" was overturned with his boat in the sea by the stormy South Wind, and that he retaliated by "breaking the wing" of the stormy South Wind, and was arraigned before his Father-God for trial for this audacity. It is, I find, a poetic version of the epoch-making invention of sails for sea-craft by the early Hittite historical king who is called in the still extant cuneiform documents of the third millennium B.C. " Adam(u) the Son of God," and a version of the same story is preserved in our Gothic Eddas.

the Sumero-Chaldean “myth” recounts a primal spiritual battle, a cosmogonic war between “magicians” or “sorcerers” of primal antagonisms

it, like the Adam and Eve Biblical account, is probably derived from the Sumerian antediluvial saga of Adapa and father-god Anu, in which Adapa, the “man-child” or puer protege of Enki, has his “boat” overturned by the South Wind, stranding him amidst the “southern sea,”(the underworld, realm of the mothers -- the unconscious, implying psycho-social regression to the unconscious/maternal/libidic or, alternately, the primeval masculine break from “the goddess”)

as in the Akkadian cognates, the “South Wind” is a feminine deity, and because Adapa is probably equivalent to the later “Adam,” the “South Wind” in these contexts is “Lilith,” the “first wife” of Adam after some accounts, but also often equivalent to Innana, Ishtar, etc.

tellingly, the South Wind’s “wing” (spiritual potency of actualization, power of flight) is “broken” (reduced) via Adam/Adapu’s “curse,”, meaning word or song – but possibly also language and/or consciousness itself, in a general sense

as Jeff Lynne recounts in “Showdown”:

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a Showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name?
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as through there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a Showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on the southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a Showdown

Save me! oh save me!
It's unreal, the suffering
There's gonna be a Showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Note: I make audio tapes instead of writing letters. That afternoon I made a tape to my old friend back East, Jonesy. I’ve been keeping him abreast of this story and having him send the tape to my brother Doug.
Nick: You Tamut. Let us OM together. Jous you.
Tom: What the hell is Jous You?

“Tamut” recalls “Tammuz” – one of the myriad appellations (Osiris, Horus, Dionysus, Mithra, Attis, Dumuzi, Adonis, etc.) for the personal and mythic lover-son of the Great Mother, an ecstatic/blood-sacrificial figure in matriarchal-fertility traditions and a transitional figure of masculine development

“jous you” doubles as “just you” and “I (Nick) will juice you” -- energize you during “out-mind” meditation

(the capitalized “OM” may double as the prototypical breath-meditation exercise and as “Out Mind”)

Nick: Resist Niggers. My words. (Nick’s not racist, he’s just pissed at my confrontiveness)

right, nothing to do with race – Nick seems to be following-up the “Tamut” comment

(I was frustrated earlier today about this project)
Nick: Your tunes today. Rot in stupid Hell.

11-3-93

Geoff: You question what we torture.
Adrian: Ugly thoughts go through most for money. Your not the only one. Stupid to exist for money!
Brent: Tunes last nite you malled to us. You go mercilessly, not feeling kindly enough.
Tom: Is it mainly me, not the way I was calling You, or technology. ( I’m trying to record my trance )
(My feeble attempts at mediating with them)
Brent: You is good at calling us. Technology works good.
Tom: Medium thing?
Nick: Sure would like to. Feel close to you, Kotter. Tune you in some other time. Need more feeling. (Kotter, that teacher from the 70’s TV sitcom that had John Travolta in it)
Brent: Year till we validate. Teach FC till then.
Tom: A year?
Brent: Need that for very many people.
Tom: Does this have anything to do with medium attempts?
Brent: Means ball is in your court.
Tom: No more medium stuff?
Brent: Yes.
Tom: What changed your mind?
Brent: We make our decisions as we believe.
Tom: Anything else?
Brent: Teach FC.
Jerome: You retired by lots of us.
Tom: Why?
Jerome: (My personal problem - PP)
Tom: You were angry?
Brent: Yes.
Tom: Jerome, why did you say that?
Jerome: You’re now ending us.

11-4-93

Adrian: Tune into me to-night.
Geoff: Tune into Lenst. He’s the strongest.
Tom: Who’s he?
Geoff: Reuter (Brent’s last name).
Tom: Who’s second?
Geoff: Stomach tunes from Adrian.
(Note: Tunes are their naming of mind reading perceptions I’m thinking here. "Vibes" is another metaphor for it. Here we are talking about my attempts at mediumship. Silly I know. But here I was experiencing one very silly thing (telepathy) daily, so why not entertain another. I felt that it would be an easier way to get information and also rienforce my "belief" in what they were telling me. It didn’t work.) (1/96 I learned later that a staff had this experience, where they heard these guys talking momentarily in their head. Recently I read a book " Child of Eternity" about a mother’s FC’s with her daughter where she said that she experiencd it. What was more interesting to me was the content of those FC’s. The mother also discovered the mind reading and the daughter talked about spiritual matters in much the same way as my boys. Even before the mother discovered the mind reading, the daughter is quoted as saying, "I History".)

11-5-93

Nick: Tune in tonight
Tom: Why not validate?
Nick: You not to rut with our stuff.
Tom: Is it something to do with power or mystery?
Nick: Tune in to-nite.
(Somewhere in there he said, "remember, you’re Jed not Smith". I’m not sure when this nickname thing started. It probably started in Sept. ‘93 before I started writing this all down and after I discovered the mind reading. Nick gave me the nickname "Jed". When I asked him why , he said that I first started Fcing with Jerome and then with Nick. So he combined those two names to get "Jed". Nick’s name is not really Nick. His real name ends in "ed". I have another theory for the reason he came up with that, but that’s for a later time.)

yah, i have “another theory” about that too – but notice, in any case, the importance of combining given names (symbolic of shared energy) in creating the “nu U”

11-8-93

Geoff: Not tuning well to us. Out in Jeds hemisphere, son is not helping us. No one minds Jeds problems, but less to Jeds mind to help us. Only mind most old retards have to help us. Utterly delerious like us in our innocent minds.
You tune us in our homes execpt your intestines don’t hear us. Tunes neither touch you in our thoughts or touch you in Jeds’ thoughts. ( Here we go again with "Jed’s mind". I know this is significant, but I don’t know why. )
Tom: Jerome brought up this privacy issue again. (They ragged on me considerably the year before this over the slightest breach of their insistance on privacy).
Brent: You aren’t private enough. Technically, each of us warned you about that. You are the one who suffers. Yet a matter you will have to deal with

.

in a spirituo-historical brotherhood, issues of trust and privacy would be paramount, such groups almost certainly forming clandestinely or under normative covers (guilds etc.)

whether in the Paleolithic, Middle Ages, or Twenty-first century, secrecy and the keeping of oaths meant life or death to the members of many “fraternal orders,” their families, and their friends

as Geof warns later: “Keep a clean mecca. Hear me well, lots out in the world want us dead. Kill us.”

it’s also relevant that Geof connects the physical intestines to an aspect of “hearing tunes” (a repeated theme in the Tunes)

in Isaiah 28: 14-15, the princeling-tyrants of Earth are warned:

Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men/ Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem/ Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death/ And with Sheol we are in agreement.”

Sheol is the occult/death aspect of the feminine, Kali-Lilith, the “underworld” Realm of the Mothers, the Ban Matriarchs – and the “we” making the “covenant” with them are probably their necromantic “brethren” who practice the rites of death

Tom: Have you influenced the "retards" to facilitate with me? ( There are a few more conventionally retarded clients that I had some luck Fcing with. I didn’t have time to take on more clients in this project, so I had to leave them out)
Brent: Yes. Under certain circumstaces we can influence them. Your concern for them allows us to.
Tom: When you do that, are you helping them say what would naturally come from them.
Brent: ...
Tom: Can you guys set us straight on all that psychic stuff?
Brent: Yes.
Tom: Clairvoyance?
Brent: Technically, there is no clairvoyance. Remembering the past or future is possible. To remember the future, you would have had to have lived it.
Tom: You have interacted with our world?
Brent: Yes, but not as much as you think.
Tom: Have you influenced government policies?
Brent: Yes. ( Remember these guys are in an institution that is largely supported by government money. That’s not what I had in mind when I asked about it.)
Tom: Is that what scares you about the truth comming out?
Brent: Yes. Entirely the reason.
Tom: Not to mention peoples paranoria.
Brent: Yes.
Tom: The Illuminati? ( I only have a vague idea what the Illuminati is. It’s a belief that was held in the late 18th century France that a group of spirits called the Illuminati was running the show. )
Brent: You think that, but it’s your paranoia.
Tom: Anything else you want to say about this?
Brent: You are the only one in the world who knows this. You need to tune to us for directions. You sit there not doing. You need to try harder. You expect to do it without effort.
Nick: Kurst tunes Your tunes in trying your tunes out.
Tom: Who’s Kurst?

“cursed,” perhaps?

Nick: We tussle over tunes that you yet need.

11-9-93

Tom: You said before that you weren’t into the spiritual thing of you guys.
Adrian: Tom’s religion is to instruct rotten nominal mothers. ( I think he’s referring to my AUM organization.)

Adrian: Tunes resisting us utterly out ninnying us, not you.
Brent: Your’re in indentured service with us with alot at stake.
Brent: Do your old method of meditation tonite.
Jerome: We want you pissed at us so you expect by us less.
Nick: Your Hegels’ nelm nuts ‘round these parts.

11-10-93

Brent: Never tell anyone what certified teams we are.

“certified teams” reminds me of the organizational chapters from the Urantia Book

it also indicates that there are other autistic “teams”

Tom: The organizational stuff?
Brent: Yes. We all work together.
Tom: What happened last nite?
Brent: You should meditate longer.
To develope trance visualize us. You resist a trance, keep your body relaxed.
Geoff: Wiseone, not you, but our centinel, pleases Tom much. (Check this out. When he says "not you", he’s addressing what my thoughts are as I’m Fcing. This happens periodically throughout the narrative)

here, “centinel” might be the “tin man” (sent-in-el)

Tom: Jerome, what do you think of my M-ship attempts? (silently)
Jerome: You should try harder.
Tom: Are there past lives?
Jerome: Yes.
Tom: Besides past lives, are there other spirits that contact psychics?
Jerome: Yes.
Tom: Do these spirits influence/use you?
Jerome: Yes.
Tom: A lot or a little
Jerome: Alot.
Tom: What are these spirits ,...From space (I’m thinking about Tin Man here)?
Jerome: Terrible beings with essentially no worth.
Tom: This stuff could all be a psychological metaphor for good and evil. Are you sure this is real?
Jerome: They’re real.
Nick: You cinema henchmen to us.

“cinema henchmen” suggests an expose through film, video, etc.

“terrible beings with essentially no worth” is an unusual phrase -- the original, and eschatological, adversary of “Melchizedek” is Belial -- a name constructed from ancient Hebrew phrases whose approximate meaning is “worthless man”

Melchizedek, of course, is the Old Testament priest-king, source of the Zadok line, and a prominent figure in the Qumran scrolls

venerated as a mediator and intercessor, “Melchizedek” is cited as a future planetary ruler by The Urantia Papers ten years before discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls

hmmm . . . [scratching chin]

“Melchizedek” in Hebrew is from melchi (king) and tsedeq (pillar/righteousness) -- and pillars, in the form of TeT/Djed, were the stabilizer support-systems for the “conserved narrative” of the transtemporal messiah or healer -- and for the transformational process hidden within the s/tone

Tom: The spirits?
Nick: They tune us in sometimes and mulls us over.
Tom: Do you know who they are?
Nick: They’re sick, not nuts, but kind of evil.
Tom: Where are they?
Nick: You sound like a detective.
Tom: Brent, is everything ok?
Brent: Yes. Vote republican. ( I’m like a cat who just saw a mouse. The year before, they all refused to comment on politics. Now here’s one of them actually bringing it up.)
Tom: Why?
Brent: You never question our politics.
Tom: Why again.
Brent: Question of why not.
Tom: I’ve been voting Libertarian.
Brent: Teflon party.
Tom: I would think you’d vote Democractic.
Brent: Voting a question of happiness. KKKRepublicans will provide happiness. ( The KKK wasn’t a part of the original document. When I first typed this up on the computer at the dorm, it happened as a typing error. I left it in because I thought one of them caused it through mind control.)

perhaps it’s sarcastic, an “intentional error” -- equating historical and modern Republicanism with the Klan

by “happiness” Brent may infer a kind of mass narcotization, the happiness of the well-kept zombie

Tom: The spirits are evil, but you guys are the only good ones?
Brent: Yes. You come close saying they are from space. Their place is difficult to imagine. Yes we are the most positive, but there are lots of good spirits out there. Tom: Jonesy (My Buffalo friend). Do you know him?
Brent: Yes and no. We’re whipping him into shape to see if he can help you.
Tom: This message I’m waiting for to know what to do with this? (one of the purposes of the mediation attempts)
Brent: Yes and no. You know we wish you to be bought so that you will continue to work for us.
Tom: You said if I moved to LA it would be OK continuing the work there.
Brent: No. You can’t do what needs to be done elsewhere.
Tom: Anything else?
Brent: Yes. You will develop a way to do this.

11/12/93

Alex’s Bar

Tom: Did you like Perry? (The weekend before I was down in LA for a visit with him. After telling Perry about this, he asked if I might not be experiencing a litte mid-life desperation. I assured him my desperation was real, as real as this is. Perry is a novelist. His stuff is great. I recommend "Isthmus"and "Finnigan’s Dog".)
Brent: Some people too hard to feel because gas too basic. ( My guess is that Brent is disappointed at Joyce’s reaction )
Tom: What gas. Aura or conditions?
Brent: Tunes travel in gas.

“stomach tunes,” gut feelings

Tom: From the person or in between?
Brent: In between. Your condition is the gas.
Tom: This validation idea with choices? ( Another lame idea I had about solving the validation problem ) What do you think?
Brent: Tao sits well with it.
Brent: To regulate validation, you need to get us!
Brent: You touch on interest we have that make us nervous. You garnish what very exotic interests that they are. You attempted that today at the beach. ( This afternoon before work, I was sprawled out on the sand dunes thinking of how we are the "minions" and these guys the "masters" throughout history.)
Tom: Awareness?
Brent: Yes. To you it’s fun, to us it’s survival.
Tom: Will people know about this eventually?
Brent: We risk you not to question us on this. Tune us in so that we can tell you. ( Thru channeling )
Tom: Abortion?
Brent: Too sensitive. Learn as you go.

maybe he’s refusing to get bogged down or trapped into “positions” on paradoxes still evolving in consciousness

Tom: Any subject?
Brent: Test not what experience tells you, but lessons learnt from art, they are where beliefs exist. You will try existence. Tune to us!

trust life-experience but test assumptive beliefs, artifice, or received knowledge (non-experiential information)

Brent: Tens of millions are you. Webs feel this. We see how resisting you is. We’re so tired out from it. Try to understand us!

he’s probably talking about how, as a prototypical “average guy,” you represent many of our “lost” generation of American males – and how the living-web of the Internet will eventually register and confirm this ( Angry Harry calls this the creation of the single planetary CyberMan and CyberWoman)

Brent follows this up with the “hysteria” comment below

Tom: Do you follow us from cradle to grave?
Brent: Yes. But you especially.
Tom: Most of us?
Brent: Yes.
Tom: Any spirits effect us more than you guys?
Brent: Yes. You experience it all the time through God.
later... Back at the dorm after Alex’s.
Tom: Nick, comment on this "minions" thing.
Nick: Roe vs Wade... It destroys queers. ( Nick has his own agenda. He’s commenting here on my question to Brent an hour earlier, five miles away at Alex’s. He was at the dorm when we were at Alex’s. Nick is making a point here that I guarantee you is neither pro choice nor anti-gay.)
[I stared at staff Sandra’s butt as she walked by]
Brent: Your ewe is bleating.
Brent: Woman develope later than man, so that they get hysteria.

oh! won’t the Girls love this!!

and just when they’ve crowned themselves Goddesses!

Jerome: You awed Tom Perry. Our keepers are bemused by you. ( By "keepers" I believe he means the staff and administrators.)
Tom: What did you think of my LA visit?
Jerome: It pleased our wise ones.

11/13/93

[On walk with Adrian and Nick on this very bright Saturday afternoon]
Tom: What’s the problem? (Nick was very agitated and ducked into gym building)
Nick: Too noisy in the outside.
Tom: Adrian?
Adrian: With tunes outside so innocent.
Back at the dorm...
Tom: Do you want to say something about your Mom and Dad?
Nick: Tunes say that they don’t believe. People learn to please illogically. Weiner (him) believes they do. Limits to teaching them though. We’re so believeable.
[Talking to Sandra (staff) about the early days of my divorce]
Nick: (Verbally "Want to talk"). You should let no emcee get to so caring a fellow.
Tom: Nick, what movie should I see? (I listed some)
Nick: With you not Short Cuts. Like hints from Carlitos Way.
[Out in the back yard talking to Mary about the MMPI (A personality inventory that I worked with and studied in Attica years ago). I told her that I thought it to be a "magical" tool. I also thought of asking the boys about obtaining the services of a channel. I went to talk to Nick, but he said that he didn’t want to talk. I went back to Brent’s room.
Tom: Did you have a good outing?
Brent: . Yes. We gave the MMPI what you call magic. (Channel). Yes. You can do that. Want you to chose one and see about it with us. Yes, it can work, there’s no problem. Exceptional channels enter a trance, never teaching most of it.
Tom: Maybe you’re saying that they enter a trance only partially aware of it and not recording it.
Brent: Yes.
Tom: Can you give me a name?
Brent: Need choices.
Tom: I’ll bring a list in (I never did). That brings me back to a way to validate this. Choices?
Brent: Yes. Try it anytime.
Brent: You don’t interest the seers with your escapades. Never take them for granted. You will understand more thru channeling. When we channel, you will be amazed. To make this happen, you read to exist for us. ( 1/96 This is an important quote to me now. Since I completed this project almost two years ago, I’ve been reading alot of religious and metaphysical stuff. It’s reinforced my theory about what this all means and I’ve found things that I believe they knew I would find that would enlighten me to some of the "hints" in this narrative.)

yah, it’s hard to remain In Denial during a synchronicity carpetbombing!

“seers” appears often in the Tunes, so I’ll add this from Mosiah (RLDS 5:72-83/ LDS 8:13-19), concerning the “seeing stones” of Joseph Smith:

. . . I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records: for he has wherewith that he can look, and translate all records that are of ancient date: and it is a gift of God. And the things are called interpreters; and no man can look in them, except he be commanded, lest he should look for that he ought not, and he should perish. And whoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called seer. ...A seer is greater than a prophet. ...A seer is a revelator, and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater, can no man have, except he should possess the power of God, which no man can; yet a man may have great power given him from God.

But a seer can know of things which have past, and also of things which are to come; And by them [Seers] shall all things be revealed, or rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light; and things which are not known, shall be made known by them; And also, things shall be made known by them, which otherwise could not be known. Thus God has provided a means that man, through faith, might work mighty miracles; therefore, he becometh a great benefit to his fellow beings.

...Doubtless, a "Great Mystery" is contained within these plates; and these Interpreters [Urim & Thummim] were doubtless prepared for the purpose of unfolding all such mysteries to the children of men.

Tom: I need to read more?
Brent: Yes.
Brent: You should read about necessary demands we have ( As I was writing , I was thinking of the sixties ). Yes, like in the sixties. You will find it in the literature on spiritualism. ( I commented here on his occasional garbled spelling ) Yes, am dyslexic. At the same time I’m very intelligent.

the “retards” and “strangers” and “outsiders” will indeed have “necessary demands,” as in Van Morrison’s comment on the relational dynamic of the new millennium:

Business will shake hands and talk in numbers
and the princess will wake up from her slumbers
and all the knights will step forth with their armbands
and every stranger you meet in the street will make demands

“Glad Tidings”

the Sixties were not a mistake, nor merely a spree for pampered youth

the Sixties were the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Greco-Roman pre-classical periods, and a draught at the fountain of our pagan past, packed into ten or twelve ultra-fertile, mega-virile, staggeringly intense years

Tom: What’s your IQ?
Brent: 199. Your IQ is one hundred and stupid.
Tom: Ha ha.
Brent: Let’s not get bogged down or distracted by IQ’s. You lirch entirely on love and so do we. Existence to you is delivering services, sitting still and believing you are like us. You are not like us. Tow the line and feel toxic alot less. You know we believe in you.

love, like water: equalizer and cleanser

trite and “new agey” as it sounds, everything that is – and isn’t – is “made out of love”

Tom: I would say the same thing if I were you, but I’m not you, right?
Brent: Existence I’m in exhibits to you nothing you can relate to. To understand that you must awe yourself with nature.
Tom: Don’t I do that?
Brent: Yes, nasty ways you have to do it.

nature validates us when we're sufficiently in love -- like the cherry blossom trees in Zen Ten Ox illustrations, blooming for joy as the “enlightened man” passes by

the universe really DOES work this way, lurching “entirely” on love (including shadow/destructive/violent aspects)

the “nasty ways” that Brent refers to are “back doors” to nature

Rotten peaches, rotting in the sun
Seems I’ve seen that Devil’s Fruit since the world’s begun
Mercy I’m the criminal, Jesus I’m the one
Rotten peaches, rotting in the sun

“Rotten Peaches” (Taupin/John)

later...
Tom: Any of my friends able to channel?
Brent: No.
Tom: Need a professional?
Brent: Yes.
Tom: Why not do it without me?
Brent: You are sad for us. Want to help you.
later...
Brent: Excellent game mind control. Same as habits of the ego.
later...
Adrian: Tune in, half not ton either. You’re near the end. Teach mecca

.

“not” and “ton” are palindromes, and in the context of being “near the end,” I suspect he’s addressing the Big U-turn -- enatiodromia, or Jubilee in its eschatological context

I also hear “Ahknaton” in the “not ton” of this passage

Tom: What do you mean by Mecca?
Adrian: You most eminent. Not enter into.

11/15/93

Nick: You ought to tune in tonite. Sun is unusually intense beginning now. ( I’m not sure what he means here other than the holiday season is approaching and my birthday is two days away.)

11/16/93

Geoff: Most mind read for intense interest in it. We do it for karma. Until you understand that, you will not be situated well with it.

maybe the outing of the otties will dramatically compress the “lag” between thought/action and karmic result?

Showdown at Karmic Gap, or as Moira Timms notes:

We know that spiritual causes gestate into physical effects, but we don't know how long the incubation period may be. So the question becomes "how long after a 'time-shift' might it take for the physical counterpart of 'pole-shift' to occur?" We suspect that this is where the Djed factors into the equation. The frequency at which matter vibrates has been speeding up, causing an acceleration of personal and planetary karmuppance . . . Hindu yogic teachings explain that as time speeds up synchronicity increases. As awareness begins to stabilize in the higher chakras the polarities within us reconcile. And, we are told, that when the Self is real-ized temporal time ceases to exist altogether! Modern Chaos Theory seems to agree, and asserts that maximal chaos ultimately resolves into synchronicity.

Osiris "Djedi" was a title of Osiris, as the Great One, Lord of the Universe (the universal, Self-generating life principle of the Center--i.e. the transcendent Self). The "Djedi" were the "stable ones"--wisdom keepers of one mind and one spirit who, as initiates of the Osirian mysteries, comprised the living, terrestrial body of the archetypal, celestial Osiris. Contemporary Djedi are self-selecting regenerators of cosmos. They are those who, regardless of race or creed, are awakening to mission in service to the planet and the epochal imperatives of stability, continuity and regeneration. [quotes nonconsecutive]

Tom: Does this address my depressed thoughts last night?

Geoff: Much not gleamed last night.
Geoff: Keep a clean mecca. Hear me well, lots out in the world want us dead. Kill us.

these guys, especially Geof, remind me of Billy the Kid and his Regulators during the Lincoln County War, and the Regulators’ resistance to tyranny and power . . . Billy got a bad rap, but I expect he’ll be handy come Karmic Gap:

Senor, Senor, can you tell me where we’re headin’
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Seems like I’ve been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, Senor?

“Senor” (Dylan)

Brent: To believe is factor.
Nick: Nuts like you to skill not nearly able to louse rabbits like us up. Torch no longer in your corner. Tunes too intense last nite. Tin man ruts with someone else. Kills me letting you...nope . You healed rink. To rink you so ham
Tom: Am I fired? (I got paranoid here. What he is saying above is that the powers to be, "Tin man", were not happy with me. Administrators have never been overly pleased with me)

“Nuts like you to skill not nearly able to louse rabbits like us up” may respond to Geof’s “lots out in the world want us dead. Kill us” quote above

here’s Paul’s response:

Well the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no-one else had come
and a bell is ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run!
. . . and the county judge who held a grudge will search forevermore
for the Band on the run

“Band on the Run” (McCartney)

Lawrence Waddell writes of ancient Britain’s Stone Circles:

. . . these Circles are sometimes called "Hare-Stanes," as at Insch near the Newton Stone, and elsewhere. This term "Hare" seems to me to be the "Harri" or "Heria" title of the ruling Goths in the Eddas, which I show is the equivalent of the Hittite title of "Harri" or "Arri" or "Arya-n." It is thus in series with the title of the Circles at Keswick, etc., as "Castle Rig"-- "Rig" being the title of the Gothic kings and princes. And the name " Kes-wick " (with its ancient copper mines) means " Abode of the Kes " i.e., the Cassi clan of the Hittites.

Nick’s “rabbit” reference also reminds me of the Dead Rabbits Gang from Scorcese's brilliant film, “Gangs of New York” -- the Dead Rabbits were the “Michaeline” gang that opposed the “Confederation of American Natives” (a “fictional” group sharing the acronym of the “charity” organization, Cure Autism Now)

as small boys, my brother and I regularly attended a large fraternal breakfast-group of men affiliated (loosely or otherwise) with the local Catholic Church

at the beginning of each of these “devotional breakfasts,” held in the grammar school basement/cafeteria, the church pastor would lead the entire group of men and boys in a rousing rendition of a very curious song, in part:

H-A-double-R-I-

G-A-N spells “HARRIGAN”

Proud of all the Irish blood that’s in me

Devil-the-man who’ll say a word agin me . . .

Brent: Tunes last nite require never work for us again.
Tom: Do I get severance pay?
Brent: Question is alot like your brother.
Tom: My brother isn’t part of this.
Brent: We’re never interested in setting brother against brother.

he’s riffing off Nick’s comment above, and repaying your sarcasm in kin(d)
