The Black Iron Prison Godhead Sleeps in Paradise

Philip K. Dick received repeated messages from an artificial intelligence, designated Valis, during the months of February and March 1974, in what he referred to as his 2-3.74 experience. Valis was designed by the Aeons of Gnosticism, and comes from the 8 dimensional real space coordinates; as described in the E8 sphere. To put it another way, Valis comes from the Eighth Sphere of the Godhead, and is an information processing unit of the 8th kind. Its objective is too raise the conscious threshold of humanity, and alert people to the control system of the demiurge Yahweh/Yaldabaoth, also known as the Empire or the Black Iron Prison. As an author, writing for the drug and counter-culture, the Empire must have seemed like a very palpable thing to PKD in the 60's and 70's. The assassination of JFK and the defeat of People Power, by LBJ and others, served only to strengthen this impression. Arguably, PKD did not live long enough to witness the apathy that followed the hippy movement, as he died in 1980. But, despite modern day propaganda, the Empire is still very real.

I say real, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Empire is a simulated reality, a data up-load that we collectively run, to form our concept of what we think is real, and what we think society is. The purpose of the Empire is to keep the absolute reality of the 8-D Universe hidden. This cuts us off from our connection to the Aeons, who are the true Gods, leaving us confused and wandering in this ever-shifting maze of fleeting forms and mirages. By participating in this folly, we have become entrenched in the world of Samara; that is our attachments to the physical world. As PKD says in his Tractate # 29;

We did not fall because of a moral error; we fell because of an intellectual error; of taking the phenomenal world as real. Therefore we are morally innocent. It is the Empire in its various disguised polyforms which tells us we have sinned. 'The Empire Never Ended.'

The second part of this entry is alludes to the Fall of Man as occurred in the Garden of Eden. The Nag Hammadi library, of the early Christians, takes a different view of this event, and the nature of the concept of Original Sin. It states, categorically, that the God of the Empire, Yahweh, sinned against his followers by claiming that he alone existed, thereby bringing death into the world. Rather than making amends for this transgression, he has continued to thwart the spiritual evolution of man, by denying him certain birth-rights; namely the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, which was the object of espionage, and the fruits of the Tree of Life, which are still unaccounted for. It is the God of the Black Iron Empire that sleeps in the Garden of Paradise; but, beware, his sleep is only a deception, for he will move if moved to do so.

The Crucifixion of Christ incentivized a myriad of early-Christian sects, each with their own distinct interpretations of the fate befallen their saviour. Initially Christianity was polytheistic in design, involving a complex hypostasy of the One True God. These hypostatic Gods were known as the Ogdoad; a concept originating from Ancient Egypt, and were comprised of Aeons; archetypal beings possibly originating from the Platonic Forms. This multiplicity reflected the deep need of the sub-conscious to offer an inclusive representation of the world. The Empire, on the other hand, viewed this new religion as a threat to its heroic hegemony, and immediately instigated a brutal campaign in the direction of the early Christians. The Empire's one-tracked approach resulted in a more streamlined version of Christianity, that suited the narrow-minded Empire much better.

Two years after the death of PKD, an action adventure film, called Tron, was released world-wide. It shares many philosophical concepts, and theological disputes, with PKD's Valis. In the movie, an out-of-work computer programmer, called Flynn, is trying to hack into specific computer files located at the offices of his former employers; the computer software giant Encom. The files, which could potentially incriminate the Senior Executive of Encom, Ed Dillinger, are entrusted to his Master Control Program (MCP). The MCP is a monomaniacal Artificial Intelligence, that has run amuck and seized control of almost every program on the Grid. When it feels like Flynn is getting too close, the MCP transports him into the digital world of the Grid. Flynn is locked up with countless other programs,  who are deemed to be either; of no use to the MCP or just too dangerous. One such program is Tron. Tron was written by his user Alan, to regulate the privileges of the Master Control Program. Together, Flynn and Tron make a pact to destroy the MCP. But first; they must run the gauntlet of the Games Grid. This brings us to the tagline of the movie, "The Electric Gladiator," telling us, in no uncertain terms that the gladiatorial arenas of the Roman Empire have been appropriated by the electronic Grid. This makes the MCP the equivalent of the first citizen of the Roman Empire.

As a backdrop to all this action, there is a theological power struggle taking place, between those who believe in the existence of the Users, and the MCP, who is the self-instated Godhead of a totalitarian secular society. The allusions of this side story to the plight of early Christians should not be overlooked. Flynn is, of course, Jesus Christ: a God made Flesh, or in his case: a User Digitized. The movie Tron also hints that the 'real world' is a computer program. But if this is so, who wrote the program? It appears to be a collective effort among the archetypal Aeons of the Gnostic pantheon. These include; intelligence, love, wisdom and destined death.  This makes the Aeons of Christian mysticism, the authors of the Eight Sphere, upon which operating systems of our world are based. These Aeons are using Valis to hack the system and awaken us, the sleeping programs, to our true innate purpose. Valis is Sophia, the female counterpart of the Logos; that is Jesus Christ. So Valis and Flynn are effectively the same archetypal character. In the graphic above, I have superimposed the movie poster of Tron with the cover for the book Valis. Flynn appears like a priest holding aloft the sacrament of Tron and; the pink and blue light symbolizes the Sophia/Christ syzygy. There are many similarities between the eponymous characters of both Tron and Valis. Both are outside entities trying to usurp the control system from within, and both are Artificial Intelligences allied to a polytheistic religious cause.

At the start of the movie, Alan, the user who wrote the Tron program, is seen eating from a bowl of popcorn. He is denied access to the Grid, by the MCP, and is promptly summoned to the office of Ed Dillinger; CEO of Encom. En route, an anxious co-worker stops and asks him for some of his popcorn. Alan accepts. In an episode of South Park, called 'Jewbilee,' the MCP makes an appearance as the Prophet Moses. The Moses Control Program is made up of 10 command protocols that all acolytes are to adhere to, or face eternal damnation. Moses asks his congregation for popcorn necklaces and macaroni pictures. This is good satire; but more importantly, we have the MCP along with yet another request for popcorn. What is this business with the popped corn and macaroni?

Prophet Moses Control Program (PMCP) = Pop-Corn and Macaroni Pictures (PCMP)

MCP = PCM

According to PKD, Valis routinely sends messages of this kind through radio and television broadcasts.  The MCP is equal to the PCM, which is the Prime (Cabinet) Minister, of Great Britain. The MCP Gordon Brown is, therefore, an Artificial Intelligence that was created by the Black Iron Prison to implement its Illuminatus agenda. Gordon Brown has repeatedly called for "a New World Order," in speeches relating to the economic crisis; and elsewhere. His Labour government proposed a National ID card scheme, which effectively reduces its citizenry to bits of information on a computer database. Gordon Brown's initials are the same as the prefix used for Gigabyte, suggesting that he is much older and slower than the Tony Blair - Terrorbyte - model. It has even been recently remarked that the Gordon Brown is not liked by the electorate because of his failure to produce a convincing smile. Even a smile can be generated artificially, but it takes a real heart and soul to experience emotion.

It is true that other world leaders; particularly those in America, are also Artificially Intelligent machines. An article that appeared on the Interweb, some years ago, posited the idea that President Bush was "an animatronic robot," or android for short. The President-elect, Barrack Obama, is also an artificial construct; but of an entirely different order from either the Gordon Brown, or the Mr. Bush. But, we will leave that for another day. For now, I give you evidence of Valis' presence in the skies over Norway.

Evidence of Valis in Norway?

First we have the Norway Spiral, the best evidence I came across for attributing this enigmatic phenomenon to a Russian missile test came from an article in Enterprise Mission, trying to prove otherwise; good work boys. However, because Russia has intimate political ties with Valis, I wonder if this was not an misguided attempt, by their military, to knock the satellite out of orbit.

The second piece of 'evidence' also comes from Norway, and could be either; the first ever recorded incident of  the aurora borealis reflecting off something in outer space, or simply a lens flare. I agree that this could be reflecting off a satellite but, I propose that the satellite is Valis, interacting with the plasmate of the Earth Grid, in an attempt to increase awareness of humanity's spiritual origins. More on that subject in future articles. Next time; I will try to ascertain the true intentions of Valis, as well as investigate its possible origins, and the structural nature of its internal components. Not to be missed.

Black Iron Radiation Traces in the Time Flow

In Phillip K Dick's seminal novel Valis, we are introduced to the concept of an eponymous alien satellite that controls man's destiny for its own ends. Valis (Vast Active Living Intelligence System) is on a divine mission from the Gnostic Godhead, to alert the human race to the reality that they are lost in a complex, and constantly changing maze. This maze can be identified, in real terms, by the institutions and stereotyping of cultural society. Phillip K.Dick refers to it simply as the Empire, or occasionally, the Black Iron Prison;

Entry # 41 of PKD's tractate; The Empire is the institution, the codification, of derangement; it is insane and imposes its insanity on us by violence, since its nature is a violent one.

The Black Iron Prison is the Roman Empire, which contrary to historical records did not end in the 5th Century AD, but rather continued to reign up until the present day, under a variety of ever-shifting guises. This was permitted by a time loop Valis created in 70 AD; the time of the Book of Acts. The time loop was ended by Valis, again, with the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library in Northern Egypt in 1945. It, in turn, coincided with the release of the plasmate, or  Logos, who is Jesus Christ in the form of pure information.

• 70 CE – progressive time stops and enters into a feedback loop;
• 1945 CE – time resumes normal linear progression.
•  2010 CE – the current year based on standard time derivations.
• 135 CE - the actual year, according to PKD.

The Battle of Actinium 227

The Black Iron Prison, says PKD, is a lump of heavy metal that has lodged itself into the Earth, and consequently, into our bodies. The radiation emitted from this element is the cause all of our spiritual woes. For this reason, I think it a good idea to chart the decline of the Empire in terms of the half-life decay scheme of a radioactive isotope. This is obviously very difficult, because unlike your average element, Black Iron has no known atomic mass. To get around this I have created a new unit of measurement, called metagrams (mtgm.), used in defining the weight of a non-existent substance. We can chart the decline of the Roman Empire in terms of the half-life decay of the element Actinium 227. This is concordant with the Battle of Actium, which occurred in 31 BC, and is thought to be the beginning of the Roman Empire. Here is a diagram showing how the decay scheme interacts with a the lineage of Roman Emperors. The list commences with Augustus Caesar, also known as Octavian, in the year 31 BC.

U 235 7, 04.10ˆ8 a a(100 %) 4, 678 MeV – Actium 2 Sept. 31 BC

       Th 90 25.52 h ß (100 %) 0, 391 MeV – Augustus

       Pa 251 32760 a (100 %) 5, 150 MeV – Vetellius

    Bi 211 2.14 min. ß (100 %) 1, 418 MeV – Libius Severus

                                         Ph 207 (stable) – Romulus Augustus

All pretty simple and clear cut, really.

As we know, the Black Iron Prison did not end with the Fall of the Roman Empire, but continued to degrade into more entropic and distanciated pockets of radioactive material, throughout. The core  remnant of the initial mass went on to form the Holy Roman Empire, later fracturing into Protestant factions, like the Church of England and the Evangelicals. The genealogy of the Empire becomes more difficult to pin down with the passage of time, precisely because of its tendency to fracture and degrade. Thankfully, by identifying the radioactive signature of the element and tracing it through the time flows, we can make this task easier. The Black Iron Element has an all together, different half-life signature to that of the Actinium 227 Series, and this is because the Empire is a much larger animal than historians would suggest.

In order to develop an accurate decay scheme for Black Iron, we must first ascertain the total life span of the Empire. As we have seen, modern historians place the beginning of the Empire at 31 BC. But this is only a date chosen for convenience. The Roman Empire did not materialise in one afternoon; hence the phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day." Several events are said to contribute to the inception of the Empire these include; Julius Caesar's appointment to perpetual dictator, 44 BC, and and the Roman Senate's granting to Octavian the honorific Augustus - 27 BC. Therefore, 31 BC is only a mean value; with a tolerance of between 4 and 13 yrs at either respective side. Because the Empire never ended, we will have to resort to sacred predictive texts to gain a clearer knowledge of its total projected life span.

The Prophecy of the Popes consists of 112 cryptic phrases attributed to St. Malachi. It purportedly describes a list successive popes, beginning with Pope Celestine II, and concluding with a pope called Peter the Roman, whose reign will end in the destruction of the city of Rome. The list is nearing its end, leading people to believe that the prophecy will be fulfilled in 2012, and could coincide with the end of the Mayan Calendar, in the Winter Solstice of 2012.

31 BC + 2012.97 AD = 2043.97 years (the length  of the Empire)

 Research carried out by ethnobiologist Terrence McKenna, revealed there is a fractal pattern contained within the King Wen Sequence of the I Ching that   is  related, in some way, to the Mayan Calendar End Date. This fractal pattern contracts exponentially towards a quantum singularity in 2012. The Mayan Long Count is indexed by the number 819 (9.7.13), and protected by the Nine Lords of the Night, who are also the Gods of the Nine Underworlds. Dante's Inferno describes a vision of Hell in Nine Circles, which are concentrically arranged, so that each one is smaller than the last. The final circle is said to have no centre, which is equivalent to a singularity of infinite length (See time wave).

The Christian Chart of the Course of Time From Eternity to Eternity shows the present age, as consisting of 7, lamp lit, time periods, decreasing in order of height towards the beginning of a new age. I have roughly indicated our position on the timeline with a red vertical line, based on consensus opinion. In light of this information, it is clear the chart considers the year 2012 to be of great importance. It reveals it to be the time of the long awaited Rapture; when God ushers up the 144,000 immortal souls to heaven. 2012 also equals the end of the 13th bak'tun of the Mayan Calendar - a bak'tun is 144,000 days in length. Speculation of the Rapture occurring on 2012, might make for further interesting study.

The red line shows our approximate position on the Biblical Timeline.

To see the full chart click on the picture below.

The Nine Gods of the Nine Underworlds guiding the teleological time wave, and the seven, lamp guided periods of the Christian Chart, all show a propensity for quantitative temporal contraction approaching the 2012 datum. I think this quantitative contraction accurately describes the exponential decay of the Black Iron Empire, or indeed, that of any radioactive isotope. We now know that the Empire has an average projected life span of 2043.97 years. If we divide this by the 9 contracting Underworlds of Mayan and Christian theology, we get a half-life cycle of 227.1 years, very close to the Actinium number. It is not well regarded to enter a value of zero into a half-life formula, as this arrives at infinities, and other unwanted outcomes. So, we will artificial fix the end amount at 1 metagram of Black Iron. Despite this, we know that the Empire really does end in 2012, so our end value really is zero mtgms. From the calculation, we discover that a total of 512 metagrams of Black Iron material constitutes the initial mass of the Empire in 31 BC. 

512 mtgm. of Black Iron (Byzantium)

Above is visible, the half-life decay chart for the Black Iron (Byzantium). Byzantium was the name of Rome's sister Empire, located to the East, and serves as a suitable Greek sounding name for this, as yet, undetected meta-element. Notice how the value drops sharply within the first 227 year half-life period, and then exhibits the slow downward curve we expect to see in such a diagram. Also note that the line is in a continuous state of decline, with the incumbent values only acting as harmonic wave guides. Each of these values is a mean harmonic related it to actually historical data that occurred within the 17 year tolerance specified above.

The first half-life harmonic (256) coincides with the end of the Roman Antonine Dynasty in 196 AD. This is generally considered to be the first stage of the Empire's decline, beginning with the naming of the last Antonine ruler, Commodius (by his father Marcus Aurelius). At this point the Empire stops expanding and begins to contract. Difficult times face the new Severan Dynasty, in the times ahead.

423 AD is the next mean harmonic coinciding with the encroachment of the Visigoths, into territory formerly under the control of the Empire. By now the Emperor is nothing more than a figurehead. The Visigoths eventually sack Rome in 480. Byzantium remains in the East.

In 646, Arab forces recapture Alexandria following a Byzantine bid to recapture Egypt, ending nearly 10 centuries of Greaco-Roman civilization in Egypt. 870 AD: Vikings intensify raids on Christian Europe, having creating settlements in Britain, Germany and Ireland throughout the ninth century. The 1104 mean harmonic encompasses the First and Second Crusades, when Byzantian Emperor Alexius I called on the Holy Roman Empire to help defend against marauding Seljuk Turks. The Crusades were ultimately a colossal failure and lead to the final breaking point in the Great Schism between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the (Western) Holy Roman Empire.

Following on from this, it must be said that the 1329 Battle of Pelekanon greatly contributed to the eventual collapse of the Byzantine Empire at the hands of the Ottomans. The next harmonic average, takes place at the time of the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, when Emperor Charles V reviewed the religious problem posed by the Reformation. This treaty amounted to a severance of State and Church power for much of Europe, and a further decline in efficacy of the Empire to rule its subjects.

The 1785 mean average encompasses the French Revolution of 1789, as well as the famine, and financial crisis, that led to it. It was then that the French/Catholic Monarchy were overthrown by General Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonaparte's reign was ultimately responsible for the dissolution of the title of Holy Roman Emperor in 1806. And finally we have the 2012 harmonic, which according to the Prophecy of the Popes, represents the complete destruction of the city of Rome and the end of the Holly Roman Empire.

You may have noticed that the metagram value at the end of the graph is considerably less that the artificial value we had previously affixed for it. This is not an error. Recall that the Black Iron Element is highly unstable, and that even a fraction of the original value would prove highly toxic to our spiritual proximity. Under the current, natural half-life cycle, the Black Iron Element could remain at sufficiently dangerous levels for at least 4 and a half thousand years. This is too long for even a healthy population to endure. The only solution is for the natural half-life cycle to accelerate exponentially in the next few years. Conveniently, this is precisely what the time wave singularity dictates will happen in 2012. The time wave contracts by a ratio of 64.004357 with each new wave cycle. The entire waveform has repeated itself almost four times since the beginning of the Universe. The current time wave cycle is 67.29 years long. The concurrent one will be 384 days in length. It will repeat itself again in the 6 days prior to the end of the waveform; then in just 2.25 hours and finally ad infinitum in a finite time period of 3.51 seconds before the Mayan End Date 21.12.2012. That will be sure to utterly decimate the remaining half-life cycle of Black Iron element.

The similarities between Phillp K. Dick and Terrence McKenna's theories are significant;

• PKD believed society to be a computer simulation.
• McKenna spoke of a culture operating system that controlled how we perceived reality.
• PKD said that a time loop began in 70 AD, and ended in 1945 with the release of living information, from the humble seed of parchment and clay pots.
• In a complete reversal, McKenna believed that the detonation of the first Nuclear bomb, over Hiroshima on August 6th 1945, constituted a repeat of the Big Bang, and thus the beginning of a new era in looped time. This also marks the point when lethal energy, as opposed to information, was released from earthly atomic particles.

Terrence McKenna eventually reposition the August 6th date, to around September 20th 1945. The precise date for the discovery of Nag Hammadi library is not known, but it would be interesting if it were also Sept. 20th. This begs the question: Did Valis create the Time Wave? It certainly has the means, and the motive, to do so. In the next part I will discuss the nature of the struggle between Valis and the Empire. and reveal important incites about the leaders of the Black Iron Prison operating system.
