Surely as you put it on this earth, my friends, it's gonna fall

For the past several weeks, I've been listening to the 1967 Grass Roots song "Let's Live For Today" -- moved, I guess, by the same counterintuitive "nostalgia for a more wholesome time" that had me listening to "The Bad Touch" on repeat about a year ago (as described here). A message of vapid nihilism, yes, but still a healthier sort of vapid nihilism than the 2020s variety.


I've also recently taken an interest in the astronomical and mythological theories of David Talbott -- an interest which developed out of my recent posts about the Tower card of the Tarot de Marseille. Having watched the three episodes of "Symbols of an Alien Sky" on YouTube, I checked the Thunderbolts Project channel for more in the same vein and found "Remembering the End of the World." As I was watching, I scrolled down in the comments a bit and found -- bizarrely! -- that someone had left a comment with an extensive quote from the lyrics of "Let's Live For Today."


It's a completely incongruous thing to post on this sort of video, and it coincided with my own recent interest in the song -- an interest that started before, and had absolutely nothing to do with, my interest in David Talbott. Intrigued by the coincidence, I searched the Web for more information about the song, and what came up was a list of tracks on the album "Let's Live For Today." I know nothing of the Grass Roots except that one song, so this was all new to me. The last song on the album caught my eye: "House of Stone." I looked up the lyrics.

You can build your house of brick
You can build your house of stone
But surely as you put it on
This earth my friend
Just as likely it'll fall on down

And you can build it high as a mountain
Oh, you can build it thick as a wall
But surely as you put it on
This earth my friends it's gonna fall

Did I mention that I first started watching David Talbott videos because of a comment someone left on one my posts about this image?

I read a book by David's brother Stephen L Talbott called The Future does not Compute (1995). It was pretty good, and prescient concerning the interweb - and had an appendix about Owen Barfield which the great man read and liked before his death a couple of years later.

The good old days, when rebellious youth still thought blazers and khakis were important for public performances.

This could be speaking directly to me - and I suppose most of the modern world. Lately I've been working in finance and the systems we are developing to guarantee safety ("house of brick") are based on the last 50 years or so of data, or more often 20... surely it's going to fall?

Rather a direct arrow on complicating their minds chasing after money.

Versus today, when a head of state can appear before Congress in a T-shirt.

William,

My sister and I , being Boomers, LOVED the Grass Roots, especially the song' Live
for today'.

Regarding your 'Falling Down'Tarot syncs, If you recall I shared my perspective
about the connection of a dream I had on Nov 22 2018 which I titled: Oscar,
and the connection which I believe to be of Man Overboard.

The dream's setting was in Switzerland. In real life I've never been to Switzerland
nor have I've ever been attracted to that part of the world.

I won't go into details of the dream, but
in the dream there was also mention of BERN, The BR's who are the Bears, however I did not know about the Bears/BR meaning BEFORE THE DREAM, and it was through research that I connected the Bears to my Oscar Dream.

After a gazillion hours of research about the symbolism in the Oscar dream, I'm convinced that my Oscar dream was about Man Overboard.

In the Maritime International Flags, the ICS meaning of the letter O is Oscar and means; Man Overboard.
The O Flag's colors are RED AND YELLOW ( which combined makes the color Orange).
Remember the meme in popular culture about Trump and "Orange Man Bad?"

I believe the symbolism of the One Eye ( A Eye= A I= Artificial Intelligence = 1 9 ) on the detached capstone of the pyramid represents the Bears.

I believe that the Bears have harnessed the power of the Octagon.
It's interesting that in my Moon River dream my pleads of "having to go North', I believe
North is symbolic to Greenland, where I think is home to the One Eye aka Bears.

Interesting that CERN is in Genava.
Interesting this about Klaus Schwab from Wiki:
Schwab was born in Ravensburg. Schwab's family was monitored by the Gestapo, which in 1944 also interrogated his mother (who was from Zurich) for using a Swiss accent in public. The family then repatriated to Switzerland. He is a citizen of Germany although he has three Swiss grandparents and two Swiss brothers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also interesting the Dress Uniform of the Swiss Guard, who guards the Vatican,
looks very similar to the illustrations of the Falling Men in the Tarot Cards.
Even the same colors.

Also I shared with you my recent dream about the killing of a Raven/Crow and me being
a guest of the Royals in Buckingham Place in the UK.

What is also very interesting: Schwab was born in **Ravensburg.
Also the Beefeaters Dress Uniform is Red, Navy and Yellow and also looks very similar
to the Falling Men's uniforms on the Tarot Cards.

If your recall I shared my Man Overboard theory with you and posted it on your blog.

The 1993 movie Falling Down starting Michael Douglas, is chockful of Man Overboard symbolism including the Oscar Maritime International Flag and
the tones of Yellow/Red/Orange throughout the movie.

Because of the ushering in of Transhumanism via Artificial Intelligence, I believe that Humanity is on the precipice of the Big Fall aka Man Overboard.

Everything is 'hidden' in plain sight.

William,

I forgot to mention that on March25 a 14 year old Black young man fell to his death
from an amusement ride (called Free Fall ) in Orlando Florida ( It wasn't Disney).

As you may recall,I've shared several comments with you about my perspective
about the Nigredo and Alchemy, also the number 14/41.

What was also interesting is that the amusement ride Free Fall, is located very close to a
Ferris Wheel.
Do a google search on Ferris Wheels. You'll note that they all are located near a water source whether that water source is natural or not.
Case in point the London Eye in the UK is located on the River Thames.
The High Roller in Vegas is located near the The Bellagio water fountain

Ferris Wheels are Sun wheels representing CYCLES.
I personally believe that our Opponents have built Ferris Wheels in all major cities
that will become Future Smart Cities.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Ferris Wheels has some type of connection with Elon
Musk's Starlink.

A BI cycle/ Bicycle have 2 wheels.
Recall my commentary about the 8 point Steer/Steering Wheel/Star and navigation.
The 8 being a connection to the Octagon, a Power Source on Earth.

Google images of the 1960's TV show The Prisoner, and you'll see the Bi-Cycle.

Debbie,

In The Secret School, the book I have quoted recently in connection to comets, meteors, and scorpions, there is a scene where the young Whitley suddenly shouts "Ma-a-an overboard!" while his mother is talking to someone, and she tells him not to be so noisy.

William,

Did you know that the 14-year-old young Black man who 'fell' off the amusement
ride in Orlando, name was Tyre Sampson?

What's interesting and immediately caught my attention was his last name. Sampson.

I thought of the Biblical Samson.

Many of the photos online shows Tyre as a very large young man, which is rumored
to be the reason why he fell off of the amusement ride, that is: he was too 'big'
for the ride.

I did a bit of research and found this passage in Judges about Samson and Delilah :

29 Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, 30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it.

Debbie,

That is indeed an interesting name! The first name may be even more relevant than the last: the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre, also called Tyrus in the Bible.

"Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?" (Ezekiel 26:15)

The sign of a true synchronicity has to be something this in-congruent matching up with something strictly related, without your personal intervention in any way, it just shows up. I remember being more in touch with 'the process' and even having a flow-state night years ago where i wrote down some guidelines for all of it, 6 hours of writing that i remember so clearly happening; location, color of the table, what the room looked like, as opposed to any random day in the last 2 months which would be a mirage mostly.

Yet the contents of that session are gone ever since i lost the physical pages. I know i did that, but the contents are now in an enormous file cabinet with no labels on it. Perhaps the story of chaotic memory at large, but i do seem to attract a recurring theme of reinventing the wheel, for myself and the world, moving on..

As of late i don't have anything interesting to report from that front since i tuned out for years. I first became aware of the 'oddest corner of the internet' over 10 years ago, reading Celtic Rebel (what a deception, he talked about butts that whole time), Age of Volcanoes, and of course Secret Sun, the whole sphere around these sites really. Despite numbing myself with nonsense, the weird and interesting always returns. Once you took synchromysticism seriously, or at least considered it, all bets are off.

This is a partial plea to either write a piece about this, or interview with him, or both.
What might the star maps lead to? How to navigate the 'rules' around synchronicity. Is he 'seeking more then finding?'- I feel like he is reaching a bit too much lately, trying to make reality fit the model rather then the inverse. I understand that there is a business model attached to almost everyone, but i am getting tired of that argument. Alas.

I was listening to some David Bowie last night and was struck by the album art for  Ziggy Stardust . Right above Bowie is a sign that says ...
