By Lance White Presently, we are ascending from the Kali Yuga or Iron Age into the Dwapara Yuga or Bronze Age. Chronicling our shared journey in and out of time, is an analysis of two films and a music video. All three are “paradigm shifting” regarding humanity’s evolutionary leap or Shift of the Ages. Some will morph beyond all “Ages”. The first up is a film; the “Japanese masterpiece”, Mononoke. The second is a music video from a contemporary “psychedelic Euro-house” duo Royskopp, whose first song was made into a video, “So Easy”. Last is the ground breaking film Avatar by James Cameron. Let’s start with the history of the anime film, Mononoke. There are cross-references to the literary masterpiece The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The combined panorama offers a breathtaking view from the bridge. Mankind’s polarized existence, framed by the rise and fall of civilizations, extra-terrestrial battles, planetary wars, time travel and multi-dimensional interference goes far beyond the galactic battles from Star Wars. Our own history makes Star Wars appear quite tame. Editorial Review by Sam Sutherland on the Japanese anime film Mononoke: Before it ever arrived in the U.S., this epic, animated 1997 fantasy had already made history as the top-grossing domestic feature ever released in Japan, where its combination of mythic themes, mystical forces, and ravishing visuals tapped deeply into cultural identity and contemporary, ecological anxieties. For international animation and anime fans, Princess Mononoke represents an auspicious next step for its revered creator, Hayao Miyazaki, an acknowledged anime pioneer, whose painterly style, vivid character design, and stylized approach to storytelling take ambitious, evolutionary steps. Set in medieval Japan, Miyazaki's original story envisions astruggle between nature and man. The march of technology, embodied in the dark iron forges of the ambitious Tatara clan, threatens the natural forces explicit in the benevolent Great God of the Forest and the wide-eyed, spectral spirits he protects. Princess Mononoke Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkWWWKKA8jY When Ashitaka, a young warrior from a remote, endangered village clan, kills a ravenous, boar-like monster, he discovers the beast is in fact an infectious "demon god," transformed by human anger. Ashitaka's quest to solve the beast's fatal curse brings him into the midst of human political intrigues as well as the more crucial battle between man and nature.” Sound familiar? This theme runs through The Lord of the Rings, which J.R.R. Tolkien crafted from ancient esoteric writings. Metaphor, myth and magic depict recurring age-old battles and archetypes, as taught by the American mythologist Joseph Campbell. The movie Avatar crystallizes the eternal battle in our near-future, loosely modeled upon present day realities. These epic battles go back in time millions of years. If we chose to, this would be the place to mention Atlantis, Lemuria, Egypt, Rome and the Annunaki. That’s another story; videos and transcripts on those subjects can be found here: www.galactichistory.com. Let’s “touch down” on the music of Royskopp, a Norwegian duo from Tromso, formed in 1998. Their ambient, thought-provoking and activist elements combine, in “house music”, with smooth synth-pop sound. I stumbled across the video made later, of the song “So Easy”, prompting me to watch the Japanese anime film. Many cluesfell in place like puzzle pieces begging to be interlocked as a whole. Everything in our quantum cosmos is entangled and interconnected. We can decode and illuminate these connections. The video of “So Easy” has a parenthetical title: (Mononoke). There began my quest. The song came out in 1999 as their first single, with only 500 copies. "So Easy" contains instrumental and vocal samples from a 1960s cover version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song "Blue on Blue" recorded by a Swedish vocal group called Gals & Pals. (It had originally been recorded by Bobby Vinton). The sampled lyrics are: "Blue on blue, heartache on heartache/Blue on blue, Now that we are through." This will become important when we return to the music video of this song. The lyrics are part of an unfolding mystery. Avatar shifted paradigms in 2009. Directed by James Cameron, creativity and genius abound. Cameron also created and directed the Alien franchise, one of the scariest shows in town. Clearly, he was inspired by the Japanese film. Again, we witness the struggle between man and nature, shot into humanity’s all-too-near future. Sigourney Weaver steps out of Aliens to morph into the beloved character, Grace in Avatar. In our future, technology has gone to the stars, but evolution has remained stagnant. Corporations own the military, stealing other world’s resources for gargantuan profits. Collateral damage, destruction and death are a line item on a balance sheet. The ability for a human to transfer into another body has been perfected. You know the rest. A battle to the death reveals the dark, ruthless nature of those in power: committed to raping, pillaging, profiting and moving on. Modern day vampires, not unlike history demonstrates throughout time; most notably, the Catholics, Greeks, Mayans, Asians and Egyptians. Avatar and Star Wars share the same “Evil Empire” meme. Different times, same old story. Chronology: 1997: the Japanese anime film, Mononoke opens. 1999: the Swedish band Royskopp cuts their first single, “So Easy” (Mononoke) 2009: James Cameron produces the hit film, Avatar. From there, we connect remaining dots. Princess Mononoke and Avatar birth a similar metaphor; the inhuman nature of greed, with destruction overpowering and destroying the gentle, powerful, forces of nature. It is the epic battle. As above, so below. In the music video “So Easy”, we see a similar theme with the “Blue Being” cropping up. The Hindu Gods are replete with Blue Gods such as Krisha and Vishnu. Princess Mononoke, Avatar and So Easy are connected at the hip. As we watch the music video, more is revealed. Blue Beings aside, it breaks new ground that neither film embraces. For instance, music hauntingly repeats the line, "Blue on blue, heartache on heartache/Blue on blue, Now that we are through." As the music video begins, we see blue skies above, blue butterflies and blue nature spirits. Our focus is pulled to a group of Elk. One of the Elk is clearly different; it has more elaborate and complex antlers than its herd and stands out as a new experiment in evolution. The nature spirits, expressionless and inquisitive, watch as they empower their shared experiment. The multi-antlered Elk represents humanity as it has been evolving to this point. Nature spirits are portrayed as little beings that look like ETs or “grays”, invisibly appearing and disappearing. Their small size and relationship to the trees, nature and various elementals suggests that they are, indeed,nature spirits. As Barbara Hand Clow elucidates in her book, The Alchemy of Nine Dimensions, 2D is the Telluric Realm where nature spirits create. They have little or no emotions. Let’s take a leap here and connect this to the Grays. The Gray aliens look like larger versions of the nature spirits, with no emotions. Is it possible that these aliens may be our projections of the real spirits “below us”, personified in the outward realms or heavens? We see the Elk creating flowers with each step of its hooves, foreshadowing its alchemical transformation. Humans create myth and metaphor, stories to explain the incomprehensible. In our collective consciousness, our unconscious mind projects shared dreams, literally co-creating the world around us. By re-internalizing the world “outside of ourselves” and finding correspondences to the realms from which they originate, we can decode anything. The journey begins with pulling in the “outside” as the inside. The doughnut torus-tube shape turns inside out. NASA’s “Curiosity” Mars rover becomes our technological projection of the 2D nature spirits. Without emotion, it’s robotically curious. As our near-future will demonstrate, the evolution of Artificial Intelligence can be witnessed and documented. Google is the archetype. Since it “already is”, we’re back-engineering the past from the future. This brings us to an undeniable conclusion: time travel has always existed in some form or another. It is presently being employed by corporations, military and religious institutions; notably, the Vatican with DARPA. According to Andrew Basiago, the Vatican aligned with DAARPA to perfect time travel, with numerous “black projects”. The Elementals or nature spirits have been watching the human experiment, guiding and co-creating our next evolutionary leap. Like the many-horned Elk, humanity has been led through numerous transformations through recurring shift points or “event horizons”. Today, we are poised for the next leap. By watching the music video, we continue to extrapolate where Avatar and Mononoke leave off. What might the future hold… Princess Mononoke, Royskopp’s So Easy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Jdrq57BoM We watch the lone Elk (metaphor for humanity in 2014) as it morphs and transforms, slowing down, “densifying” and expanding, turning blue and white then crystallizing. It is the journey through 2D which is the hallmark of an organic journey, with Gaia-Sophia as our loving Guide-ess. The Telluric realm is 2D. As we continue deeper into the Shift, we also become more crystalline, sparkling and “pure”. The process of purification is one of leaving earthly 3D material-ism behind, comprehending that we only need ourselves to make an evolutionary leap. The Elementals or “Elohim”, little grays, all metaphors, guide the Elk as it becomes a magnificent blue crystalline Being. We watch it/us reach the entrance to the birth canal, a hole in the trees on a high mountain. Like the chrysalis becoming the butterfly, the magnificent new Being dives head first into the hole of the birth canal, leaving the empty shell of the old world behind. Like the chrysalis, it dissolves into pure spirit upon its next entrance into matter and form - transformed, reborn. Slowly the cycle returns back into nature at the pinnacle of evolution. The new creature, imbued with a higher spirit, reveals a human face with an animal body, walking on water. Have you looked at the Great Sphinx lately? Zany Mystic
