Serpentine Dream Theory

In the 2007 movie Southland Tales a group of public figures comprised of actors and porn stars, are indoctrinated into a secret research project known as Serpentine Dream Theory (SDT) - not to be confused with STDs. The project involves hypnotism, time travel and the habitual use of an organic component known as Fluid Karma. As stated before, Fluid Karma is a highly psychoactive compound that has much in common with the hallucinogen DMT. Robert Frost refers to cacti in his seminal poem The Hollow Men, as a means to describe the sterility of modern America.

Here we go round the prickly pear.

However to dance around any plant is to give homage to it. No cactus is perhaps more deserving of praise, in this manner, than that of the peyote cactus. Peyote is prized for its natural production of mescaline. Mescaline is a psychotropic compound with effects similar to that of DMT and the fictional drug Fluid Karma. Medea, the Greek heroine, skilled in the craft of vision inducing substances was schooled by Hecate. Hecate, the Goddess of witches and crossroads, is associated with the Fluid Karma project. The SDT project is a highly convoluted affair. Participants are drugged, flown through a rift in timespace, hypnotised and then encouraged to continue the use of the organic compound drug Fluid Karma. The combination of these three conditions grants the unwitting participant the ability to see into the past and the future; a property associated with the Goddess Hecate herself.

The application of LSD in US governmental programs such as MK-ULTRA is well documented. But its use in the research of time-travel is less well-known. One source, that could be described as dubious, is the testimony of Preston P. Nichols, who was an engineer for the shadowy Montauk Project. Montauk was a secret research program allegedly involved in a plethora of black operations such as; material manifestation, teleportation, time-travel, alien conspiracies and mind control/manipulation. Preston claimed that special rooms were provided for candidates to experience psychotropically altered states of consciousness; with a special regard for the remote viewing of different time spheres. The rooms were decorated in a variety of psychedelic wallpaper and their dilapidated ruins are apparently still accessible on the now defunct Montauk AFB.

A number of years ago, I was told a story by a friend of mine who had an acquaintance with a guy named Paul - not his real name. As a child, this acquaintance befriended a boy, called Rick, also not his real name, who lived in a house across the street. As they grew older, they grew apart; a state of affairs familiar to most people. In later life Paul became involved in the Dublin drug scene and gave little thought to what had become of his old friend. During this time Paul was admitted to hospital after ingesting a large quantity of LSD. His trip was of epic proportions; involving a fight for his soul between the Devil, on one hand, and a legion of angels on the other. While he was recuperating in hospital he received a visitor, which turned out to be none other than his old childhood friend Rick. It transpired that  Rick had enlisted with the British Secret Services following emigration to the UK. This did not strike Paul as unusual, as Rick had always shown a keen interest in the military growing up. After a brief conversation, Rick invited Paul to take a questionnaire that might shed light on his LSD experience. Paul agreed, and was surprised when filling out the form to encounter questions that related specifically to time-travel.

What this story tells us is that, far from being considered in a skeptical manner, time-travel is of particular interest to governmental agencies. Not only that, but it is apparent that they believe strong hallucinogens can permit ordinary citizens to foresee temporal events that are beyond the call of major analysts. These conclusions should not really be all that surprising, considering the unique advantage knowledge of the future would bring to a covert war. We should also consider the ongoing efforts of different governmental agencies in the prediction and control of the future. These efforts may take unusual forms, and may explain some of the time travel codes that have appeared in connection with 9/11 and other more recent events. I have already shown connections between the 911 Solar Ritual and the time travel plot of Southland Tales. Of course this plot is not restricted to Richard Kelly's creations and, as I have shown, reaches into the world of show business and space travel; two disciplines that have become more closely intertwined than ever before, in recent months. It appears MI5 may have learned from the mistakes of the CIA and MK-Ultra, when it comes to finding test subjects for their experiments. Instead of drugging people against their will, they merely wait for the inevitable OD patient to be admitted to the hospital yards. This provides the valuable information that they require, without running the risk of causing a public outcry.

So, Richard Kelly's narrative, of a group of shadowy figures drugging and hypnotizing familiar personages in the hope of finding out more about the future, is not as far-fetched as it might, at first, appear. It would, to my mind, be extremely gratifying to get a look at the questionnaire Paul, allegedly, underwent. The Serpentine Dream Theory is connected to a much larger project called the Doomsday Scenario Interface (DSI). Fictional within the confines of Southland Tales, this project might find realistic comparison with the Y2K and 911 false flag and non-starter operations. These two massive projects might be part of a government operation to research, in advance, the possibility of an actual cataclysm occurring in 2012. On the other hand, the fear inducing propaganda surrounding these events, may trigger an unprecedented ability within the general populace to predict and offset undesirable futures for themselves. The symbol for the DSI occurs as a subliminal message in the movie ST, due to an editorially advised cut in the length of the film. The symbol for the DSI is reminiscent of the Antinomial Sigil of the TOPH, a Satanic organization connected to Aleister Crowely and the worship of the demon-begetter Lilith.

Antinomianism is the theological belief that members of a particular religion are under no obligation to follow rules of ethics or morality, given that salvation is by predestination only. Antinomianism, by its definition, omits the intervention of an omnipotent God, in favour of a predetermined timeline. It is, therefore, no wonder these people would be so interested in time travel, because such abilities would give them the power to alter their own destiny, and the destinies of those around them. Perhaps the infamous internet-based time traveller John Titor was correct when he said that the Large Hadron Collider would open up new avenues for research into time travel. And perhaps it is no accident if it does so.

Serpentine Dream Theory may have found its precursor in the Dragon Project Trust (DPT). The DPT was founded in 1977 to investigate claims that prehistoric sites have unusual forces or energies associated with them. In the end, the DPT became a 'dreamwork program' that 'is a kind of modern revisiting of the ancient practice of temple sleep (see Divination).' The program was jointly conducted with the Saybrook Institute in San Francisco and, ultimately, determined its findings by means of the Strauch Scale. Like the Serpentine Dream Theory, the Dragon Trust is interested in divining knowledge of another time by interfacing with the unconscious human dream state. Serpentine describes dragons.

The Saybrook Institute has something of a history in the analysis of psychic visions and dreams. In 1970 Eva Hellstrom (Hellstorm?) posted a notebook consisting of 21 of her reported dreams and 45 of her reported visions - 66 in total - to Stanley Krippner at the Saybrook Institute. The Strauch Scale was applied to these dreams also. The name Eva Hellstrom is qualitively similar, in my mind, to Dr. Inga von Westphalen - the name of one of the scientists in the Southland. Von Westphalen was the one who brought the tempest to the Southland. The tempest was embodied by her son, the Baron von Westphalen, who also symbolized the Beast of Revelations. And so, by the pricking of my thumb, a Hell-storm in the West - has - fallen. Somewhat coincidentally, in Ireland at the moment the entire Shannon River, the largest in Western Europe, is in flood.

Hecate Triformis

Here Bjork is seen wearing her famous Swan Dress at the 2001 Oscars. Next to her is a painting of Lilith by Pre-Raphaelite John Collier. Lilith was a Mesopotamian storm demon, as well as being the first wife of Adam. She was banished from the Garden of Eden following a dereliction of her duties. She became an unseen, yet detectable presence and bore Adam and Cain many demonic children after the Fall. Lilith is also the name of a song Bjork recorded with electronic group Plaid.

The position of the snake's head in Collier's painting is almost identical to that of the Swan's head on Bjork's dress. Even Bjork's downward glance is reminiscent of Collier's model. Another quality that both images share are their innate sexual qualities. The main difference, it appears, is hair colour. The moon goddess, Lilith, is often depicted as have black or blonde hair according to the alternating cycles of the moon.

The swan is a symbol of great complexity. The dedication of the swan to Apollo, as the god of music, arose out of the mythic belief that it would sing sweetly when on the point of death. Bjork performed a duet with Thom Yorke at the 2001 Oscars called "I've Seen It All" while wearing the swan outfit. It is a song about the relinquishment of desire and the acceptance of death. This is, no doubt, a Swan Song.

The white swan is sacred to Venus. It is the image of the naked woman, of chaste nudity and immaculate whiteness. The swan and the sacrificial serpent, along with the death-ships, are key symbols in the journey to the underworld. The Betelgeuse, the Shadow V, the Arctic Sea and the Banana Boat are all death-ships. This is why Day O(The Banana Boat Song) was used in Beetlejuice, it is about the afterlife and about the need to return there.

Other names for Lilith are; Hecate, Nemesis, Nana, Ishtar, Anu, Annis, Diana, Aphrodite and Venus. Lilith, Hecate and Nemesis are all names for the dark star that lurks about the edge of the solar system eating up large chunks of rock and periodically spitting them at earth. She appears in the Fifth Element as Apophis, the Great Rebel. The next four names are all Goddesses of the earth, moon and flowers. Venus and Aphrodite are both goddesses of Love and beauty, born out of a shell.

The Babylonian ziggurats known as Etemanaki ('the house of the seven directions of heaven and earth') were built of seven layers of different coloured bricks. The fifth layer was yellow and dedicated to Venus. The yellow bricked road in the Wizard of Oz is the sacred path of Venus. The path of Venus will transit the sun, for the last time in the next 200 years, on June 6th 2012.

Dean Corso, from The Ninth Gate, is contacted by a mysterious green-eyed woman who guides him towards his goal. This is another meaning of the Valknut, Vala is a beautiful woman, knut means destiny. The green-eyed women is often seen in association with the shell emblem. Venus was born out of a shell. Another name for Venus is Lucifer. In the below image a yellow shell sign can be seen behind Corso as he is exiting a taxi on the streets of Paris.

The yellow shell is a symbol of Venus, or Lucifer the Devil.

The Hecate Triformis

This symbol known as the "Hecate-Triformis" is found on the coin of Mesapotamia and is one of the earliest symbols that pretains to the threefold aspect of the moon. It is related to the triskele, the swatika and the Valknut.

At the very beginning of The Fifth Element we see a stylised version of the Hecate-Triformis. According to the film, every three hundred years, three planets come into alignment. When this occurs the dark star Nemesis, Hecate, Lilith (what you will) appears.

The transition between the ancient hieroglyphs and the computer screen is a joke about how things never really change. The Fifth Element, itself, epitomizes this humour by its recycling of the "Hecate-Triformis" in cellular form.

The rest of the Fifth Element hieroglyph is interesting. From the alignment comes the Great Evil. It is watched over by the eyes of Horus, as if this god has some vested interest in what happens next. Then the snake comes out and strikes down 9 figures of men. The nine men could be the nine worlds or ages of man, as in Hebrew Tradition. Luke Perry is seen automatically drawing a boat; the boat of Ra. Aziz, the Egyptian helper boy, is supposed to be holding aloft a great bronze mirror, reflecting light onto the scene from the exterior. But he is bored and falls asleep a total of 9 times before the visitors arrive. I suspect this is in reference to the light of the sun fading 9 times in 9 epochs. Aziz is an Arabic name meaning 'powerful', 'strong', 'respected', and is a cognate of Hebrew oz - "might," "strength," "power." Aziz is one of the 99 names of God, in Islamic religion.

Return to OZ

At the beginning of The Fifth Element and Return to Oz a shooting star falls from heaven. Although these stars appear to be falling in opposite directions, the one on the right is actually being viewed through a mirror. Mirrors are a very important symbol in Oz mythology as it is only in mirrors that people/artifacts from OZ can be seen. Indeed, the entire dimension of Oz exists in a parallel or mirror world to our own.

In the Fifth Element stoic mechanical aliens arrive on earth by 'shooting star' in order to bestow a key to a worthy priest. The key can only be be given to a priest or one who is an initiate in forbidden knowledge. The key unlocks the door to the Sacred Chamber and must be inserted directly into the mortar between the stone blocks of the temple. Likewise, Dorothy is sent a key in a shooting star by her friend the Scarecrow. The key is of simple cast iron design and incorporates an amalgamation of the letters 'O' and 'Z'.

Together these two letters look like the secular symbol for a forbidden act or command.

Dorothy's key, like the one in the Fifth Element, fits into a stone wall that reveals a secret chamber. The chamber holds a mechanical man similar in shape and design to the alien visitors in the 5th Element.

The chamber in the Fifth Element holds a strange statue that looks permanently towards heaven. It is not looking towards heaven the way you or I would, rather its anatomy is such that its head is inline with its body in the same manner of a dog or a fish.

Dorothy uses her key to reach the safety of the chamber and escape her pursuers the Wheelers. The Wheelers are servants to Mombi and are equivalent to the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. The wheelers wear a mask on top of their heads that has the same characteristics as the Fifth Element statue, they are one and the same.

There are 12 Wheelers in total; eleven plus the lead Wheeler. The Wheelers are Mombi's equivalent to the flying monkeys and are therefore monkey like creatures. The twelve monkeys/wheelers represent the twelve lunar months in a year. The word month is derived from the word moon. The Buddhist wheel or chakra represents the circular path of the moon in the heavens. In the Brahamical series the wheel is also stated to be the moon.

When Dorothy arrives in the ruined Emerald City she notices a sign scrawled in red paint on a wall. 'Beware the Wheelers" is another way of saying "Beware the Moon," as Wheelers equal the moon. Another film that resonates with all this monkey business is of course Terry Gilliam's sci-fi adventure Twelve Monkeys. This film also stars Bruce Willis as a mentally unstable inmate from the future, called James Cole. On one of his recce missions Cole sees the symbol for the Army of the Twelve Monkeys spray painted on to the wall of one of the buildings in the now abandoned City of New York. This looks very much like the warning Dorothy sees in the Emerald City.

An early Buddhist text reads: "The heavenly treasure of the Wheel . . . appeared to the king on the day of the full moon." The Army of the 12 Monkeys symbol is in the form of a wheel. What is the heavenly treasure of the Wheel and what are the twelve month/moon-keys that open it?
