After discovering the name of the meme, I became interested in the possible significance of "the Virgin Rose," which seemed like a phrase that might occur in a poem or song somewhere. I also noted a possible connection to ladybirds -- originally "Our Lady's birds" -- because Our Lady is both the Blessed Virgin and the Mystical Rose.
Late last night, I searched for virgin rose on YouTube Music just to see what would come up. The first result was a song called "Virgin Rose," which seemed promising. However, it was in Arabic -- part of a compilation album called Arabian Nights Vol. 1 -- and I don't understand a word of that language.
It did later turn out to have some synchronistic relevance, though. In the morning, I found a new comment by WanderingGondola:
The stereotypical colour for ladybirds is red, right? That one looks orange to me. While I'm at it, reading some of Place of the Lion earlier tonight, in chapter eight I came across this: "'Come,' he [Anthony] said, 'let us go and see Mr. Richardson. Perhaps he'll turn into a centipede or a ladybird. Like the princess in the Arabian Nights.'"
I, searching for virgin rose, had arrived at Arabian Nights. She, following the ladybird (and lion) thread, had arrived at the same place. One of the characters in the Arabian Nights, Haroun al-Rashid, served as the inspiration for Haroun and the Sea of Stories, which has come up before -- see "Buckets, bathtubs, and seas of stories (plus hoopoes and caballeros)" and "The monkey gardener."
One of the other search results for virgin rose was a song called "The Virgin Against the Lion" by Royal Rose. In the artwork, the title is written as "The Virgin vs. the Lion" -- an almost perfect match for "The Virgin Rose vs. the Chad Dandelion."
(Content warning: lots of profanity, including some perplexing references to "the fuckin' virgin.")
In a dream last night, I heard a voice say, "If the bees don't do the work properly, the virgins can help." At first, I understood this to mean that if the bees didn't pollinate everything that needed pollinating, the young women of the village (who, being unmarried and childless, had the free time to do so) could pollinate some flowers by hand if necessary. "No," said the voice, "I mean Bees and Virgins." I could somehow hear the capitalization in his voice, and I understood that Bees and Virgins were two different orders of female spiritual Beings.

William,
I thought you might find this interesting.
Perhaps you recall I shared with you a trailer of the
2024 movie The Beekeeper.
Although and IMO, The Beekeeper
is a bit much and over the top with the violence
and impossible fighting antics,
however the underlying plot
of the movie regarding a US government special
forces called the Beekeeper is quite thought-provoking.
In your post you wrote that you heard a voice in a dream
say that if the bees don't do their work properly , the virgins
can help.
Interestingly the word virgin in etymology,
copy and paste: asterisks mine
virgin(adj.)
late 14c., of a female, "young, unmarried, chaste;" 1580s,
"of or pertaining to a virgin, befitting a virgin;"
from virgin (n.). The earliest recorded sense in English
is "pure, unused, fresh, un-meddled with,"
in reference to wax (c. 1300), also in Middle English
of ***honey,***
*** untilled soil*** (mid-15c.), later of snow (16c.).
The Virgin Islands were named (in Spanish)
by Columbus for St. Ursula and her 11,000
martyred virgin companions.
~~~~~
Since the sync stream has brought in the bees,
I thought the reference to virgin honey was interesting
as is untilled soil as I have commented before
about George and the Earth Tiller and of course
the bees having significance to agriculture.
Here is a clip of the 2024 movie The Beekeeper

Here is the Beekeeper trailer ( Note the colors around the
Beekeeper. Blue perhaps symbolic of the male drone
who protects the queen.) He also wears a 'work/chore
jacket the color of brownish- yellow almost a clay color
or a mustard color.
The Beekeeper, played
by Jason Statham is named Adam Clay.
The older Black woman Mrs. Parker played
by Phylicia Rashad ( who looks very much like
my best friend IRL, including the grayish dreads)
gave Adam shelter on her farm for his beehives.
The setting is in rural Massachusetts.
Mass is on the 40th parallel north.

It has been so challenging to bite my tongue given all of these symbols lately, and in one instance several days ago I was going to leave a comment but was literally physically stopped from doing so. It has seemed like silence and disengagement has been the best policy, you aren't asking anyway, and frankly several of the symbols could be interpreted as far from positive for you in looking at them.
However, I feel no such inhibition here in this specific case so lets see if I am able to hit publish or not.
The yellow and red flower symbolism and their associated powers or lack thereof in this meme seem like a clear link to Superman/ Kal-El/ Clark Kent which came up in a big way over on my blog. That symbol was even very strongly tied to the Caitlin Clark symbol, whose name means the same thing as Clark Kent - "Shining/ Bright Secretary". Caitlin Clark, you'll recall, was the reference I made in a comment on your blog in which you responded by saying you didn't have access to my blog anymore and couldn't remember it (still too bad!).
Central to Superman's story is the impact of Red and Yellow Sun radiation.
Red Sun radiation makes Kryptonians lose any special powers and abilities. They become weak and fragile like any ordinary person, similar to the red flower in your meme. However, Yellow Sun radiation restores or gives them these powers. Our Earth has a Yellow Sun, which is why Kal-El became so strong and superhuman when he came here (able to bust through concrete, among other things, like that Dandy Lion).
Red and Yellow Stars seem to play a role in the story I developed, for what it's worth, in the form of the Rose and Anor Stones, which are respectively Red and Yellow (the latter being of he appearance of fine brass, since I believe it is the same Ball the Lehites used).
Yeah, I kind of figured you were still lurking here and sometimes struggling not to comment. It’s one of the Powers of the Sphinx: “To know, to will, to dare, and to keep silent.”
I was posting extensively about Superman and the Red and Yellow Suns, and even identifying the Yellow Sun with the Liahona, well before you entered the picture. When I first broke through into a state of nonstop synchronicity, that was one of the first big themes. You could search out those old posts here and at The Magician’s Table should you feel so inclined.
William,
I'm sure you heard that the new Pope was chosen.
He's not a Peter as I predicted instead, he is a Robert i.e
a Shining One (from America!)
and interestingly a GOLDEN Leo the Lion.
No lazy times for us, no?
Well, fortunately I haven't been symbolically linked to a Sphinx - that honor goes to you, in the form of Dr. Evil's bald cat, if I remember.
You've also been tied to Jay Leno, our Blue Jay. The Jay Bird is another slang word that also refers to someone who talks too much. In this case, you've shared and written quite a lot - probably too much - without really understanding what you were even writing ("Everybody knows!").
This lack of comprehension is what makes your recent AI posts so interesting. You almost perfectly describe your own writing and thought process in what you've dubbed Fake Intelligence.
AI and machine learning models, as you've rightly called out, are all about pattern recognition and completion. Endless amounts of data are processed and patterns are found, in its most simplistic form. But in all of this, the machine or algorithm has no comprehension, no opinion or understanding, of what all these patterns it's so cleverly put together means.
I've read some of those earlier posts before - I remember your Liahona post, for example. You seem to not understand why I left my comment. I wasn't claiming to be first, but I did claim to have a story. Going back to those old posts that I remember reading, it seems what plagues you now plagued you back then: you can find the patterns, but you have no comprehension as to what those patterns mean. In my writing of those things, I at least pulled the pattern into a story, and it was that story I alluded to in this comment. That story is why I saw the image the way I did, and not the same way you did.
Since this comprehension aspect seems to be such a challenge and somewhat elusive for you, I will give you two examples in two more comments here on your blog. One having to do with your Turkey dream (where you were dining in Italy, if I recall), and the other with that interesting dream of "Mom" written upside down. Might be illuminating, if not for you, maybe for a reader. Look for them on their respective posts. I am past saying there won't be more comments (clearly!), but again, I am no Sphinx.
One final question here: Given the similarity in your posts and thought approach with syncs to Fake Intelligence, does that make you a Fake Intelligence (using the word Intelligence here like one would find in the Pearl of Great Price)?
WW,
If I may be so bold and offer another perspective,
I'll say this:
I think the misunderstanding is and again IMHO,
there's always more than one story.
Especially where it concerns the paranormal
i.e. Sacred Science Knowledge.
Everybody's story is different.
What's fake' to one person may for another person
be their truth because they experienced it themselves.
.
Which begs the question who determines what the truth is?
I too have asked , and to be honest became a bit impatient,
with William wondering why he didn't connect
his puzzle pieces ,however I've come to believe
and respect that everyone has their own gift and dish
of what they bring to the picnic.
I believe that's how humanity harmonizes collectively.
Much like a flock of birds who all fly together and turn in unison
with out bumping into each other and causing chaos.
I believe humans have that collective consciousness
as well.
I'm sure you have heard stories of people,
(whom we call heroes) who will run to the aid of their
fellow man in a tragic circumstance
(like a burning building or car or a drowning)
many times at great risk to themselves and not even think
twice about it. That's our collective consciousness.
It's our ego that separates us.
My puzzle pieces may not connect with other people's
puzzle pieces and that's ok.
However, that doesn't mean that my experiences,
(which produced the puzzle pieces ) are fake.
Everything, in this duality dimension, and IMO,
has its reason and season.
