'Hosts' in the 'Soul Machine' - Hijacking Humanity


I watched the new move 'The Host' recently and despite its 'teenage love tangle' plot (which isn't really my cup of tea when it comes to movies), the main story offers insights into our past, present and future plight on planet Earth, oh what a surprise? Its another long one so I'd make a brew.

The movie shows Earth inhabited by an intelligent alien species known as "Souls." They are portrayed as an incredibly peaceful race, that outwardly shun violence but persist in taking over humanity, I know, I know, its an Orwellian oxymoron, one that is clearly symbolic of our ‘Soul loss’ unless we wake up. As the plot shows the 'Souls' can only survive by being inserted into a 'host body', and thus taking control of human minds. Nothing peaceful about that in my view, it’s merely just another cover story for 'invasion', which I'll get to in more detail.

Ancients 'Hosts' (No Need for the Movies)

  The concept of a 'host' or a possession isn't new, it goes back thousands of years and can be seen in art and texts all over the world. We have the 'demons' in Christian mythology and in Hindu Mythology they are referred to as the Rakshasas (left), who in the holy books called the Vedas, it is mentioned that the 'material world' is 'governed' by these demons. More aboriginal, so called 'primitive people' have referred to them as inter-dimensional ‘beings’, that could move backwards and forwards (or in and out) of our world through portals in the space-time fabric. The same attributes  can be assigned to the Jinn (right) in Islamic texts and of course we have the Archons in the Gnostic writings which go back several thousands years. 

These are the 'invaders of (and in) our minds that the likes of Colin Wilson wrote about in his 60's novel The Mind Parasites. And of course we have the Kabbalah, the Jewish book of hidden 'occult' knowledge, which is merely a system of Jewish mysticism and magic and is the foundational element in modern witchcraft. Dr John Dee the Elizabethan occultist was clearly using these 'foundational' systems connected to Kaballah witchcraft, to conjure what have been called by many, as the Archons (see below). Dee was a heavy user of a 'scrying mirror' and held 'Enochian keys' for contacting what he referred to as the ‘angels’. Dee’s angels were the Archon entities and it wouldn't surprise anyone who cares to read my blog that these ‘beings’ show up from time to time in ‘Hollywood’. Of course they would, if Dee was alive he'd be directing movies, maybe he already is, the hosts get everywhere.

 
 Interestingly when one looks at many parasites (hosts) its easy to imagine alien like ‘hosts’ as put forward in the movies. The dog flea, for example shown below is very similar to that of the ‘alien in the movie ‘Alien’?  
Left; Dog Flea. Right; Alien
  
The 1974 song by Genesis (its all in a name), ‘Carpet Crawlers’ gives us a creative insight into Dee's archontic world and the entities conjured up through ‘ritual’ by the likes of him and other alchemists of his kind.
As the song says,  
“…A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed
maginary creatures are trapped in birth
On celluloid
The fleas cling to the golden fleece
Hoping they'll find peace
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid
There's no hiding in memory
There's no room to avoid
The crawlers cover the floor
In the red ochre corridor
For my second sight of people
They've more life's blood than before
They're moving in time
To a heavy wooden door
Where the needle's eye is winking
Closing on the poor…"
 
 
At its highest level we are dealing with both Satanic wizardry and the ‘dark arts’ utilized by the ultimate secret society  - the Illuminati.

 

The Architect of Darkness 

 

Dee's God was the architect of the universe, and he published two important texts, Monas Hieroglyphica (1564), an abstruse magical treatise, and the Mathematicall Praeface (1570) to Henry Billingsley's translation of Euclid, a study of geometry and hence the symbolism of the compass. The creator for the secret societies that later became Freemasonry understood the symbolism of the compass and therefore elevated the architect God figure, seen here as the 'Ancient of Days' captured brilliantly by William Blake. The grand architect is also the chief Lord Archon, the Demiurge, and in many esoteric symbolism is the father figure ‘Cronos’ – ‘the god of time’ (more on this in another post). 


Interestingly the movie Mexican movie Cronos depicts a metallic like vampire scarab that could have been designed by Dee himself that comes to life to ‘take life’!

 
As I have already pointed out in other articles, a common theme of invaders coming into the human realm, (either physically or through non-physical means) to high-jack a planet (usually ours), seems to have some root in ancient myths and legends. The most well known source has been the tens of thousands of clay tablets (The Sumerian tablets) found in 1850 (dated 4000 BC), and located 250 miles from what is now Baghdad, Iraq. These tablets talk of an alien race called the AN.UNNAK.KI (translated as those who came from Heaven to Earth) and they are often referred to as the Watchers in texts such as the Book of Enoch
 
In Egypt in 1945 at Nag Hammadi a collection of scrolls were found in a sealed jar later known as the dead sea Scrolls) are believed to Gnostic in origin and possibly pre date the destruction of the great Library of Alexandria. See the excellent movie Agora for a quick historical insight into this era. Within them were 13 codices and more than 50 texts which have given us far greater insight into what the Gnostics knew and believed to be a hidden force manipulating and directing human affairs. One fifth of the texts found at Nag Hammadi focus on 'non-human manipulators' that they call the, Archons, which infiltrate the human mind to influence and therefore ‘direct’ perception of reality. The movie The Host is exactly that, a 'host’ possessing a 'human mind', or in the case of the plot in this movie, the total human population! Such a mass possession isn't too far fetched if we consider what our DNA really is and how we create our reality (or have thoughts that we think are ours) that then manifest (through our perceptions) the worlds that would suit a ‘host’. Predictive programming is another level of this.  

 
I've seen too many similar themes in other science fiction films and books to dismiss that in some way, our world is being manipulated and genetically modified to expect a full blown ‘take over’ by its 'host'. The many alien take over movies, form the Transformers (the Decepticons) to the many ‘zombie virus’ movie scripts, are all hinting at 'otherworldly' (often virus-like) ‘invaders’ that don't have humanity's best interest at heart. Of course the John Carpenter movie 'They Live’ is one of the clearest renditions of a host alien nation taking over the Earth.
Other themes relate to the weaponization of outer space (Starwars programme) launched by the USA in the 80’s is only one example of the use of advanced knowledge used by government agencies in league with the ‘wizards in white robes’ (brotherhood scientists) to fulfill some kind of trans-human 'take over' of what’s left of human society. Recent movies such as Oblivion starring Tom Cruise hints at such themes, too many to dissect in this little review.


Angry Fire Hosts and Scrying Mirrors that come to life.

I feel that the initiates of the ancient Egyptian mystery schools became followers of the Anunnaki through the worship of Archon, Baal (Jehovah) the ‘fire and brimstone god’, who, when you look at the texts closely, seems to have been a ‘collection of gods’ that traveled in vehicles emitting smoke, fire and lightning. All sorts of magical feats are associated with this composite of gods, from burning bushes to plagues of Lotus. The Canaanite ‘one god’, Yahweh and Moloch, another name for Baal, were the same deity for the Hyksos, (a mixed Semitic-Asiatic group) who infiltrated the Nile valley, seized power in Lower Egypt in the 17th Century BC. They ruled there from c. 1674 BC until expelled when their capital, Avaris, fell to Ahmose around 1567 BC.
The Hyksos in Egypt worshipped Set, (Saturn) like Yahweh (Moloch) they identified as a storm deity and a god of death and war. Egyptian hieroglyphs even show this god training the young pharaoh Tutmoses II, which is symbolic of the connection between the gods and their influence on the ruling royal elite (El-ite). The Archon ‘vampires’ and their ‘royal vehicles’ show up in ‘symbolic terms’ through movies such as Snow White and the Huntsman to feed off the life force of humanity’s collective ‘child within’. This movie was so full of symbolic references to possession I would have to do a blog on its own to justify it. 

Left: The 'ice' Snow Queen consulting the entity in the mirror (an Archon). Right: the Queen sucking the life out of a child in the movie, so to keep her own youth and life force 'topped up'. How old are the royals again?
 
The ‘One God’ worshiped to the letter by millions of people even today, (unknowingly in the majority of cases), is the 'chief host' (the Demiurge) and it ‘is’ the mentality behind the illuminati priesthood as shown brilliantly in David Icke’s books. 

Archon/Yahweh/Moloch/Cronos and the gods of death and destruction are worshipped through exactly what they represent, ‘death and destruction’, usually through war, ritual sacrifice and death by fire in some cases. These deities and the consciousness that they represent are also called upon in rituals performed on ancient Pagan calendar dates, such as the Equinoxes and Solstices. Both the Texas Waco siege in 1993 and the Oklahoma Bombing the year later both occurred through the ‘Walpurgis Festival’ which starts mid April through to Beltaine (May the 1st). In the ancient world, victims (especially children) would be burnt alive to the Canaanite god Moloch - these people are beyond evil.
Walpurgis Festival celebrated both innocently and not so innocently.

Wars have also been started on and around the same dates (watch out Korea eh?), and we wonder why so much war and bloodshed has visited this planet throughout history? Our ‘hosts’ seem to love war!
Manifestations of Archon fire demons actually took form in flames and smoke of the 'horror ritual', killing thousands of innocent people in New York in September 2001. Like I say these people are evil and so are their masters.
Fire demon appearing in the crumbling Towers on that dreadful day.

Possession - A War that never ends

The references to the war gods can be found in the ancient Sumerian accounts of Marduk, Bel and Indara, through to the Roman god of war - Mars. All of these variations of the same god have their opposite form, but it is the focus on the ‘death god’ by pharaohs, kings, religions and secret societies in today’s world that has and still is shaping the world, through war and tyranny.

For example, the title Warlock comes from the same gods and to be a ‘warlock’ is to be a wizard, evil spirit, traitor, liar and one who breaks his word. That last description could be describing several world leaders today. Wars on all fronts, and the devastation they cause, are no more than the ‘host of hosts' ability to possess those that lead the masses to pay homage to the God of War. And as we all know very well War = Death.

Humans being hunted down (Yawn, what again?)

 

The movie shows how the invading Host, in an effort to discover the secret whereabouts of some of the last remaining human resistance, inserts a Soul called Wanderer (how apt) into the human being called Melanie Stryder, who was captured while attempting to locate her human family. Not exactly 'Hunger Games' but its a common theme. I had to laugh at the comparison of the character Melanie and that of the wild eyed younger Hilary Clinton. No host required eh? 
No need for a caption
 
--> In the film, the hosts have 'Seekers' that go out to locate and capture any remaining humans, just as Agents would appear in the Matrix movies to prevent humans from realizing that they are in computer simulation governed by machines.  The Seekers presence reminded me of the Gort and Klaatu characters from the original 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' movie. They came to bring peace in the form of total annihilation if 'Earthlings' didn't do as they were told. Its the same kind of 'peace' that the UN and Nato currently offer those that also don't toe the line. 
Seekers - Hosts inside human biological bodies. Look around you, there might be one or two in the shopping mall?
The UN in disguise as aliens - we bring world peace (and the end of the world if you don't adopt a World Government climate change law)
 
Interestingly, the souls in The Host look like metallic 'light' insects (sea urchins) that travel great distances from one planet to another, seeking 'bodies' so to possess their target species. 

 
The insertion of the host into the back of the neck/head reminds me of the link points in the Matrix movies and again hints at the possible 'take over' of the human pineal gland (on one level) by the high-jacking alien entities. The soul then becomes the ‘window’ (the operator) of the human body that it has possessed.

The Hosts' also look similar to the intelligent spirits of the forests of the Navi in the movie Avatar, which seems to be an artistic theme in current films. Or are the directors making subtle references to the ‘sentinel’ alien-like life form that lives at the depth of our oceans – our oceans of consciousness?

The grid that connects the host's souls to their home on other worlds and no doubt symbolic of the type of 'soulless' machine like world that the Archon mind wants for humanity?


 The ‘souls’ in The Host act as that bridge between worlds and connect to a stellar light grid (above) that they return to via small metallic space eggs. Of course in 'reality' the machines are already here and 'possessing the generations' as I type. Cyberton has landed and the Zombies are plugged in all over the place and ready to roll (well text while walking)!

A picture speaks a thousand words?
 
I have used in my art the symbolism of the Babylonian father deity called Marduk (also a satanic death metal band – no coincidence) and his role as the creator of a new human.

One text accredited to Marduk (the architect) reads; “I shall bring into existence a robot; his name shall be Man.”

The robot in this sense is the possessed human form.

Mind Blindness

The Nag Hammadi Codex (scrolls) also warns us of the 'gross deception', the illusion of life and the real force behind 'belief systems' that encourage death, destruction and separation from our higher selves. Figures such as Jesus (or the priests who knew the truth and wrote these texts behind an imaginary figure), imparted the knowledge that humanity had been separated from the infinite! Parables in the Bible that speak of ‘helping the blind’ to ‘see’ and giving ‘sight to those that cannot see’, refer to a switch in perception, when we realise that both life and death are part of the illusion – infinite love (oneness) is the only truth. Mind blindness in this context relates to ‘not seeing’ the illusion and accepting the ‘god of death’, accepting ‘survival’ (mere existence and servitude), over harmony and justice for all. The demons in the mind, ‘the Archon hosts’ operate through our focus on guilt, fear and control. In the words of the Gnostic Gospel:

“The darkness works to anaesthetise the intelligence and spread the cancer of mind blindness.”


Place of the Skull – its all in the Mind!

The official focus of reality is in our heads, our minds, our perception. My image for the cover of David Icke’s recent book, Remember Who You Are is a symbol for this ‘mind blindness’ and shows how the mind ‘projects’ a false reality, a world controlled so deeply through the rule of 'signs and symbols'. It also offers a memory of our true power that can and will leave the 'host' behind -"get thee behind me Satan".
 The surface world known as ‘Officialdom’ (in all its forms), also shows us these ‘signs’ and symbols and through them we can 'see the illusion' if we choose to ‘see it’. For example, the government in the United States is Capitol Hill but this is not a political building at all. It’s an illusion. It is a temple and thats why so many ritualistic (satanic) decisions are made in these temples and why the ‘souls’ of the overwhelming majority of those who work there have been sold to the agenda of the ‘Hosts’ and the Archons. ‘Capitol Hill’ means 'Hill of the Skull' and was named after Capitoline Hill, one of the seven hills of ancient Rome. Washington was designed with Babylon and later Rome ‘in mind’ for this reason and hence the 'architectural' similarities. And what did ancient Rome do? It conquered and occupied, er, just as it does today in its modern form.
 The inside of Buckingham Palace is the same as the inside of the Vatican and any other ‘Stately home’, it’s the same ‘blue print’ (hologram), the same ‘mind’ operating at the highest levels of society.


Its also the hive mind, the 'mind of the host' that wants 'order', conformity, slavery (worker bees) and above all the death of the human spirit - human freedom.

Worshiping Death

In Sumerian legends the god Nabuna’id was the son of Sin, (from were we get the religious term ‘sin’), and his dreams in the form of narratives were recorded on seals and tablets for all initiates to see. In the Sumerian /Babylonian texts Sin was said to be the offspring of Satan and Death and in religious terms, Sin can only be repented by visiting the house of death – or your church in other words. In the minds of the priests that invented the religious blueprint now called Christianity, at the highest levels, the religion is based on Lucifer and the house of death. On a more physical level that’s exactly what churches and cemeteries are – places of death. At the highest levels, all religion fosters some sort of duality and promotes separation, through deception. All religion is designed to crush human individuality of thought and perception in favor of group-think and group-program (see above).

Inside the Cave of the Mind

After the ‘insertion’ of the host into Melanie, and now as the soul called Wanderer, she comes to realize an unsettling fact- Melanie has not faded away in 'consciousness', and in fact is 'putting up walls in her mind' (a human fire wall) to prevent her family from being found. Many scenes reminded me of the character Golem and Smeagol in the books The Lord of the Rings, as they ‘both’ fought to express themselves in one body. The cave is also symbolic of the recesses of the mind and the place from where we can emerge to offer new ‘insight’. I am a bit of a ‘cave dweller’ so I know all about that.

Melanie and Wanderer - to souls in one biological body
 
 As time passes and Wanderer tries to break Melanie's walls, she begins to feel sympathetic toward the humans Melanie loves so dearly- her brother Jamie and her partner, Jared Howe (played by Max Irons). She eventually finds them in a cave complex living like 'natives' amongst a high-tech alien possessed global society.  
 
I have had many dreams over the years that relate to this theme of humans in the past (or future) living in caves and being on the run from an alien invading force. And for the sceptics out there, this goes back to childhood, way before I ever saw a Sci-fi movie. I was drawing images of ‘lovers’ coming together in the desert of native America, which if anything, shows how creatives tap into a collective stream of consciousness, a 'data-base of memories' stored in our DNA.

The 'hosts' are moving in on the lovers - Infinite unconditional love is what scares the shit out of the Archon mind!

The latter part of the movie takes place in the ‘last human hide out’ in a place which looks like the volcanic plug known as Ship Rock in New Mexico, very much remnants of an ancient epoch on Earth. It’s a place I have visited once and has always intrigued me. The lands across the Four Corners always remind me of some ancient battle scene. One where unseen forces wreaked havoc on a massive scale.

I didn't fancy being left there for 40 days and 40 nights!

  As I have said before many of these ancient places all over the world are inter-dimensional portals, those that were with David Icke in Peru in 2012 will know what I am referring to (see my review of the Avengers movie below).  

 
Ship Rock (above) is a very sacred place to the Navajo called Tsé Bitaí, "rock with wings" or "winged rock'. It refers to the legend of the great bird that brought the Navajo from the north to their present lands. Was it a space boat? A ship? The great bird is more than likely Garuda the eagle deity of Hindu mythology or the phoenix (Benu/Horus) that rose out of the ashes of the old world after the cataclysms. Both were sworn enemies of the Naga, the demon race. In some Hindu belief Garuda and Hanuman (the monkey god) are connected in their removal of the demon host, in the creation myths of Sri Lanka and India. Interestingly, in the Hopi emergence stories it is an anthropomorphic deity (Kokopelli below) that raises a dead sacred bull (a Mahu) through the sound of his flute, music, sound or ‘vibration’.

Shiprock is part of the huge ancient formations across the Four Corners, such as Monument Valley and of course Canyon de Chelly (Spider Rock) to the south. The legends of the great bird seem to relate to the migration stories of both the Navajo and the Hopi and in the same stories the ‘ant people’ along with the Mahu (maui) Kokopelli, lead humanity (the Hopi) to a new world; to our current world (reality). I am not saying for a minute that any of this is fact, but the correlations between the stories of the Hopi being helped out of the 'underworld' caves by the Ant people and the great bird of the Navajo myth, both hint at the idea of ‘other worldly entities’ administering the movement of a new humanity from one world cataclysm to another. Did the Hopi emerge form a futuristic world that was taken by a ‘Host’ - a ‘predator’? As the American Indian poet and actor John Trudell sings in his song Crazy Horse,

“…today is now and then
Dream smokes touch the clouds
On a day when death didn't die
Real world time tricks shadows lie
Red white perception deception
Predator tries civilising us
But the tribes will not go without return
Genetic light from the other side
A song from the heart our hearts to give
The wild days the glory days live…”

Trudell’s words talk of the return of the ‘true human being’ not the one that is ‘being human’ and has the ‘host’ within its head, its eyes and its perception.

The ant people described by the Hopi tribe in Arizona are a perfect description of the Greys (in my view) and this 'collective host' of the infamous reptilians, greys and other forms that are working for human suppression and control are what the Gnostics referred to as the ‘Archons’. 
 
As Jesus supposedly said, “Yours is the house of desolation, the home of the lizard and the spider, Serpents, vipers how can any of you escape damnation
 Matthew 23: 13-39

In the lost Gospel of Judas, another Gnostic text, there are said to be words that translate as, ‘there were many animals walking around in the skin of men’

The Wanderer Returns

 

Wanderer becomes torn between loyalty to her own race (the souls), trying to give information to the argumentative Seeker assigned to her, and her blossoming love for the humans in her memories. As Wanderer's and Melanie's trust builds, they embark on a journey through the desert to find the resistance, nearly dying in the process.
 

Wanderer awakens to find herself captive in the den of the enemy humans (in her eyes), and realizes her problems have just begun. At first the humans resistance want her dead, their doctor wants to experiment on her, she may have accidentally lead the alien Seekers here. But she has become hopelessly in love with Jared, the man who belongs to the human she 'occupies'.

What eventually follows is an inspiring story of friendship, love, and loyalty in which the bonds of human brotherhood are tested, and an alien discovers that in all the planets in the universe she has experienced, humans are the only race she would give her life to save others. It is her younger brother Jamie (Chandler Canterbury) in the movie that shows the alien host how to love through his own act of ‘recognition’ of Wanderer’s purpose to free his sister, that the last human’s learn how to remove the host and send them home to where they came from.  

 

Trapped by mind, body and the ‘host’ of 'time'.

 

Our notion of time also traps us and prevents us from breaking free of the material (physical) reality and the limitations that come with slavishly following the construct we call ‘time’. Too often we choose to be servants of this system rather than free thinkers and individual pioneers of our own realities. Thus the ‘system’ (our personal cage) becomes a reflection of the consensus reality of planet Earth. The ‘Host’ consciousness cannot control or ‘feed off’ our mind and emotions, unless we allow it to do so, just as the character Melanie in the movie, shows by resisting her ‘death’ to the Host that has occupied her biological body.
  
The only way that so much suffering on this amazing planet can manifest in ways that destroy the very foundations of the human spirit, is when billions concede their right to be free, to be occupied by that host, symbolically! Millions have been persuaded to accept fear and survival (the cage mentality) and it is the survival mentality, harnessed through fear that is the food source of the predator consciousness. When we are fearful and in survival mode, we send out signals that sustain the predatory host mentality. This state of mind as created and controlled the very institutions we call religion, politics, the military and corporate power bases that survive only through rule by fear! 

The Aslan Complex

In a reoccurring dream over the years I see a ‘host’ predator consciousness that can take the form of lions (lion-humanoids) and other forms besides, all living amongst humanity. In one strand of the dream these lion-like entities seem to operate on a parallel reality but can become part of the human reality when stalking its ‘human prey’. Humanity, like the blissful gazelle or zebra going about their mental and emotional existence in ignorance of the predator ‘host’ can be devoured by those that are not ‘aware’,  are not conscious.

In truth this dream relates to the ‘host’ within us and the lion-humanoid archetype relates to both our ability to give away our own individual power (the victim) or become the empowered individual. I call the latter the ‘Aslan Complex’, a state of being that transcends all forms of survival and victim mentality. It is the fear of our true power and the illusions created through ‘our fears’ that continually sustain the predator, our host of hosts – the Archon mind. Our ego and endless modes of thought relating to guilt also feed the host consciousness but it only feeds off the energy we give away to it.

In the end we remove the host by ‘starving the beast within’ and this is what we need to do, more now than ever before. Our power of the imagination and intent (our visualization) are keys to removing the mind parasites that prevent us from creating a beautiful Earth reality. 
"Go home Hosts" your no longer welcome here!

Until next time

Cloud Atlas - Everything is Connected

"An exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution."


Cloud Atlas is a 2012 German drama and science fiction film written, produced and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer also nominated for the 'Saturn Awards' 2013... Well what isn't?

The Wachowski's of course gave us the Matirx Triology and its highly significant symbolic themes, not least when it comes to 'human enslavement' which is what Cloud Atlas also alludes to.
Where does one start? Well the the film consists of six interrelated and interwoven stories spanning different time periods. The film is structured, according to the British novelist David Mitchell and weaves together many 'parallel narratives - lives' that, as the author states in his book, 

“Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future. ” 

The struggle for freedom over tyranny is encapsulated in its storyline, along with themes that can be found time after time in all myths and religions and more blatantly in today's art and film.
 In all cases a force seeks to enlighten and liberate humanity, the other seeks to dominate and control and this struggle exists on many levels, even in today’s world. However, when one views opposites from a higher perspective, what we often realize is that both sides are 'projections' of the same source or knowledge. Even the word  ‘evil’ reversed gives us  ‘live’ and our  ‘life force’ can be used to do great works both good and bad. What we call past, present and future are all existing at the same time through our life-force. We are 'actors' playing roles in the great cinema of life, and Cloud Atlas illustrates this very well, in my view. 

How we perceive the past and the future, as always, depends on what knowledge or information that is available to us in the 'present'. With human perception there is always 'more than one movie showing' at any one time. 


Six movies in ‘One’ - Many lives in one
The movie 'moves' through 6 main plots, from the South Pacific, Cambridge, Edinburgh (UK) to San Francisco, a futuristic Korea and of course a place called Big Island where an isolated society are dwelling after what is called the 'Fall' (I’ll come to that later).
 You can read the plot in more detail here
We have a melange of lives (scenes in the movie) played brilliantly by a handful of actors an actresses that symbolically show us how we also live many 'roles' (what some call past lives) interlocking with the same people (souls) no matter what time, or what place we 'see' our selves, within the grand illusion. 

We have themes of enslavement, escape and of course 'life an death'. Especially the 'Cavendish tale' based on the publisher Tmothy Cavendish (no relation to the Duke and Duchess of Cavendish) played by Jim Broadbent (below), and how he wrestles with past choices and decisions relating to 'love'. 

Cavendish's plight is no different to another character in the movie called Issac Sachs (played by Tom Hanks) a man who meets the journalist Luisa Rey (Halle Berry), while 'exposing the agenda' to let loose the horror of a nuclear power company fronted by Lloyd Hooks (Hugh Grant) and the legacy that will eventually leave humanity 'dead'- what is called the 'Fall' in the film. 


On love and destiny the character Issiac Sachs says:

"Belief, like fear or love, is a force to be understood as we understand the theory of relativity, and principles of uncertainty. Phenomena that determine the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday, I believe I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, they can shape and alter who we imagine ourself to be, begin long before we are born, and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment, at each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction.”
 
I have personally felt this many times in my life where different points have intersected, when we encounter someone (or a place), which can bring us back to a memory of a life that was as 'real' as the one we are experiencing now. 

At the same time we see other various parallel scenes (realities): 

In the year 2321 Zachry (Tom Hanks) guides Meronym through what was once an advanced city;
In 1849 as Adam lies ill, Dr Henry Goose (below) cuts off one of Adam's waistcoat buttons and smiles to himself as he is slowly poising him for his wealth...


In 1973 Luisa finds Sixsmith's report in the hood of her car; in 2012 Cavendish sits in his room he sees a note slide under the door; in 1936 Frobisher is scribbling away writing his music (below); in 2144 the Enforcers escort Sonmi-451 out of her cell and 'All worlds collide and all actors are the same souls playing different roles in what we 'perceive to be lives'.

Death (suicide too) of course is a common theme in the main plot of the movie, brought home by the character Robert Frobisher, a bisexual English musician, who works as an amanuensis to composer Vyvyan Ayrs, allowing Frobisher (above) the time and inspiration to compose his own masterpiece, "The Cloud Atlas Sextet. The same Cloud Atlas is the map by which we move through life. Robert Frobisher writes to his true love, Saxsmith in the late 1930's while composing the Sextet, 

“What wouldn't I give now for a never-changing map of the ever-constant ineffable? To possess, as it were, an atlas of clouds.”

It is an older Saxmith who eventually meets the journalist Luisa Rey in 1973 (coincidentally) and places her on her journey to expose the nuclear power plant agenda alluded to above. There is no such thing as a coincidence, if you understand how life flows and how we are interacting with our  'mapping the true nature of life' and following our hearts. The movie is akin to the the British/American film Sliding Doors which also looks at choices and parallel realities that create our lives.


Again later we have amazing imagery of Frobisher breaking ornaments in the 1930's (above left) and saying "All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended."

while in the year 2144 the now freed slave Sonmi and Chang are making love as the scene goes back to Robert Frobisher, saying

" One may transcend any convention, if only one can first conceive of doing so."

While far into the so called future, (2321) Zachry (Tom Hanks) sits on top of a mountain as the sun sets with Meronym asleep by the fire, he takes his cloak off and puts it on her as she sleeps...

And again Frobisher says;  
"Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion."

Of course the separation is the 'Fall of humanity" as recorded in many ancient texts and art forms and powerful actions through 'acts of love' are what brings us to the realization that we are not separate from each other. All we have to do is be in the love vibration!

The Fall
The movie moves in and out of these mini plots that cleverly attempting to show moments of 'de ja vu, synchronistic timings and feels that we all share when we meet someone and we just "know" that we have met them before? This has happened to me several times and its powerful when it happens. Why? because it is what constitutes the magic of life. And shows us that we are more than just a human in one life, one genetic space suit, in one space time continuum. We are more than this. 

The magic of 'perfect timings' and how we follow our intuition to sometimes suddenly changing our 'life path' and becoming part of 'another way', 'another life' is shown in the movie. Aren't our lives like being in a movie? This concept is shown quite graphically when the character Zachry (Tom Hanks) witness (watches in fear) the canablistic killing of Adam and his son as they make their offerings on Big Island (what is meant to be Hawaii), by the Kona (a tribe of cannibals below). 

Interesting visual links to Mel Gibson’s movie Apocalypto (above right), which alludes to an ancient blood drinking tribes that were also remnants of a much earlier ‘fallen’ global civilisation.

Zachry (Tom Hanks) is thrust back to the very same spot in another time (life) and both realities 'merge' for him, when he confronts his own 'devilish voice, the place his personal 'demon' called 'Old Georgie' (below) in the film, first appears.

 
 

The fall of Zachry is in many ways the ‘fall of man’ symbolically, and what happens to one 'effects us all'. Ain' t that so?

Interestingly, The name Zechariah (Zachry) is derived from the Hebrew meaning "God has remembered", which is what the Hanks character 'does' just that in the film. Muslim theology maintains that Zechariah, along with John the Baptist and Jesus, ushered in a 'new era of prophets' all of whom came from the priestly descent of Amram, the father of the prophet Aaron. The fact that, of all the priests, Zechariah who was given the duty of 'keeping care' of Mary, shows his status as a pious man. Zachry in the movie isn't pious but he certainly a 'religious' man of his kind.

The Devil on Zachry’s shoulder
Zachry's overshadowing presence, an entity called Old Georgie played by Hugo Weaver (Agent Smith in the Matrix), is the nagging 'voice in his head'. The fact that Hugo Weavers character reminded me of Papa Lazarou from the hit comedy The League of Gentlemen, made me chuckle. “You’re my ‘life’ now”…

Old Georgie (the devil) moves unseen and appears and reappears to torment the "mind" of Zachry, just as the Archons in ancient Gnostic literature, do as 'mind parasites'. A mind possession is taking place and this is symbolic of what could be the ‘devil in your ear’ in religious texts. The author Colin Wilson wrote a book called The Mind Parasites in 1967 which told of the story about a about Professor Gilbert Austin's conflict with what were called the Tsathogguans, 'invisible mind parasites' that 'menace the most brilliant people on earth'. Wilson's book was based on the earlier work of the poet Clark Ashton Smith, and of course his Tsathoggua (the Sleeper of N'kai) (see below), a fictional supernatural entity in the Cthulhu Mythos, which also became popularised by The American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was Lovecraft that constantly referred to the "Great Old Ones": a loose pantheon of 'ancient, powerful deities' from space who once ruled the Earth and who have since fallen into a deathlike sleep. I personally don't think so mate, they are alive and still at it! 

Human Fabrication
Other symbolism within Cloud Atlas comes through the parallel life of a genetically-engineered fabricant (a human clone) called Sonmi-451 (below left), whose life cross paths with a Commander (Hae-Joo Chang (right), a member of a rebel movement known as "Union". 

The year is meant to be 2144 and of course anyone who knows anything about the 'global agenda' today in 2013, won't need to 'stretch their imagination' too far to see that the scenes in what are meant to be Neo Seoul, (Korea), and the plight of humans called fabricants that are literally slaves to a 'nature-less' 'shopping class', are too close to what the forces that control our world want for the future generations, not so far in the future!


As David Mitchell writes
“Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty."



Sonmi-451, after escaping the hive ’worker bee’ and hive-like existence of Shopping Central (above left) with the help of the Commander. She goes into hiding and watches a film based on Timothy Cavendish's adventure and escape from an old folks home in the year 2012 (obviously an old 'banned' movie by 2144).
 
The Union eventually rebels and reveal to her (Sonmi-45) that fabricants 'like her’ are freed from their work servitude and 'made to believe' that they will be exalted only to be killed like animals in abattoirs and "recycled" into food for future fabricants to consume. We see horrid scenes of human clones being led to their slaughter (garbed in Lady Gaga gear - or is it Kylie) while thinking they are being 'freed' to join the higher levels of society, in what look like some kind of religious exhalation. What a shocker!


Fabricants are butchered by machines on ships (above) an turned into liquid food (soap) for "their own consumption", so that the clones can continue to be born and bred in a slave reality - without question... Its the League of Gentlemen again and the 'special stuff'...



How many times has this 'theme' of human ‘food banks’ (trafficking) occurred in one form or another in other movies? From the Matrix, Blade, to V and of course every vampire film, etc, until we get the message? If its in the movies, then it will be 'going on' somewhere in our world in some fashion. Horse meat anyone? Also, with missing people figures in the USA alone being around 2,000 a day, never mind elsewhere, then you have to question what on Earth is happening here?

The "Machine world' from the Matrix movies (above left) and more accurately the Archontic worlds, that are vibrational prisons created to harvest humanity's true power - our imagination, are more real than we dare to think. This is one of the main themes within the Cloud Atlas - oh what a surprise?


 As many writers have shown, we have this possible nightmare within the writings of the above Georgia Guide Stones that explain how the population will be reduced. More obvious is to see all forms of corporate butchery, the banking empire, Big Pharma, the military and of course Agenda 21, (along with the Eugenics policies) of the "ethnic rich" and the priestly class as exposed in David Ickes's books and elsewhere.

 In the movies and in so called reality, what’s the difference really?  

 


The Revelation
 The conversation between Sonmi-451 and Joo Changand explains how she has been brought out of slavery to be part of the plot to awaken the masses, but first her eyes had to be opened so to 'see' the 'true true' as Zachry says in his language on Big Island. 


Their dialogue goes:
Hae-Joo Chang: The genomics industry demands a huge quantity of biomatter for wombtanks, but more importantly to sustain their engineered labor force. Recycled fabricants are a cheap source of protein.
[Sonmi watches in horror with tears rolling down her face]
Sonmi-451: Soap. They feed us to ourselves.
[later in their room, Chang is curled around Sonmi's body as they lie on their bed]
Sonmi-451: That ship...that ship must be destroyed.
Hae-Joo Chang: Yes.
Sonmi-451: The systems that built them must be turned down.
Hae-Joo Chang: Yes.
Sonmi-451: No matter if we're born in a tank or a womb, we are all Pureblood.
Hae-Joo Chang: Yes.
Sonmi-451: We must all fight, and if necessary, die to teach people the truth.
[she turns to look at Chang]
Hae-Joo Chang: This is what we have been waiting for.

What are we waiting for?

She decides that the system of society based on slavery and exploitation of fabricants is intolerable, and is brought to what is suppose to be Hawaii to make a public broadcast of her story and manifesto. The twist (now I've spoilt it for you, if you haven't seen the movie), which is that she becomes a 'deity' for the future villagers of Big Isalnd and elsewhere, who eventually worship for Centuries her ‘revolutionary call’ and  her ‘wisdom’

Religious blueprints anyone? I can just see it. The whole of our civilisation is destroyed and a few thousand years later a small colony from Scotland called the 'Hogworti' are found worshipping Harry Potter as a 'destroyer of darkness'. Because someone found it in a book or saw the movie in a distant era...

Of course it is Meronym (Halle Berry), a member of the "Prescients", (a society holding on to remnants of technology from before the Fall) that reveals this when she enters the Cloud Atlas, (a communications station on Big Island), where Sonmi-451 originally broadcast her revolutionary message to the Earth's colonies back in 2144. 


As the movie moves back and forth between different times (lives) and realities, eventually Hae-Joo is killed in a firefight in Neo Seoul and Sonmi-451 is captured and much of the film shows her telling her story and its intent to the Archivist (James Darcy). She is then ceremonially executed for her crime. It always has to end with a religious sacrificial offering when the Wachowski's make their mark in film.

Here and Now
I have always felt that humanity is crystal like (our DNA is crystalline) at our core and like a crystal, when held up into the ‘light, we 'project and reflect' many different 'possible paths'. We are many different faces of the same source. We are multidimensional and we all have the power to change our reality an therefore our world. Movies like Cloud Atlas offer a glimmer of this truth when we follow our journey.

 Our problems today may not be straight out of a science fiction plot and ‘so in our face’ as it was for the 'Fabricant clones' being slaughtered in the movie to feed a machine (a monster) in Neo Seoul; but nonetheless we 'still have' slavery, money servitude and compliance by the many to the few at the top of the food chain.
If left unchallenged, machines harvesting humans as portrayed in this and many other movies could easily became a 'reality' for the many generations to come.

We also have the power of our imagination  and this movie like many other art forms give us but an inclination of what we are truly capable of, 'now', 'in the moment', the place where our past and future 'roles' intersect. As Mitchell writes in the book,

“Power, time, gravity, love. The forces that really kick ass are all invisible.”

As John O’Donohue wrote:  “The Imagination sees through a thing to the cluster of possibilities which shroud it.”  

Until next time.

Cheers
