A black sedan to take you to the nearest star

License plates are bargain-basement syncs, and at first I wasn’t going to bother posting this one. Last night, I stopped at a red light behind a black BMW sedan with the license plate AMU 6666.

Repeating digits always feel significant, but they aren’t really in this case. Series of sixes or eights are considered lucky by the Chinese. Vanity plates as such aren’t available in Taiwan, but you can pay more — sometimes a lot more, occasionally more than the value of the car itself — to get a lucky series of digits. People who do this are the same kinds of people who drive BMWs.

AMU appeared in the "Igxuhp zvmwqfb Jack dry stolen" post, and Bill identified it as Elvish. In "Ascending to the black star," I said that the AMU was leading to the black star in the center of a Scrabble board.

I saw the AMU license plate on a black sedan. In the Ides of March song "Vehicle," which has been back in the sync stream as Roy Jay’s theme song, the singer introduces himself as “a friendly stranger in a black sedan” and offers to “take you to the nearest star.”

In the black star post, I also note that Wm, an abbreviation for my name which I have used since childhood, appears, written backwards, intersecting AMU. The brand name BMW also contains a backwards Wm. Furthermore, XU and MW together form a square divided crosswise, blue in two opposite corners and white in the other two. This is the same color scheme, though in mirror image, as the BMW logo.


I wasn’t going to post the above, but this morning I got a reinforcing sync. I stopped at a red light again, and in front of me was a scooter with the plate "888 BWM." That’s another repdigit, and three eights are equal to four sixes. Yesterday’s sedan had prompted the thought that BMW contains a backwards Wm. Now here was BMW with the Wm written in the correct order. It seemed to be saying, "Hey, don't forget that other license plate you saw yesterday!"

Both 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 and 8 + 8 + 8 add up to 24. Does that number have some significance here? It's the total number of letters in my full name, but that's about all I've got so far.

Update: The number 24 turns out to be directly relevant to AMU. Bill wrote this in a comment on "Ascending to the black star":

Incidentally, I scored the word, even though I know diagonal words aren't allowed. With the triple and double letter scores, combined with the double word score, AMU gives us a solid 24. Not bad.

William,
The number 24 is also 42 backwards.

I found this particular blog ( Riding the Beast, links below)
many years ago and I visit it quite often
( along with many many more sources ) to help decode
symbolism and numbers during my research
of my dreams, paranormal
and synchronicity experiences.
Everything is numbers and frequency, no?

I'm linking this blog because it has connections to your
nearest star comment and other syncs that have been
in the sync stream:

"Properties of the number 42

Number representing a time of suffering and test,
according to the Bible.

The number 42 is used 8 times in the Bible.
The numbers 11 and 15 are used 42 times in the Bible.

****The word star is used 42 times in the OT.( Old Testament)

Properties of the number 24
The Revelation of John uses on the whole 24
different numbers, that are numbers 1 to 12, 24, 42,
80, 144, 666, 1000, 1260, 1600, 7000, 12000,
144000 and 200000000. However, we find in the Revelation
the expression "ten thousand times ten thousand"
(Rv 5,11) to mean a number immensely high or innumerable.

The pure gold is called gold of 24 carats."

A few additional observations to contribute:

BMW is a German car. I had linked the AMU to potentially include the Stone Couriers, represented by the 2 Blue squares. Those Stone Couriers had a name I applied to them before I called them that, which was "The Germans". This was due to the very mysterious fact that apparently once arriving in our world at the beginning of 2020, their dialogue was almost completely conveyed in German. So, in 2020, I just simply referred to any of their dialogue as coming from "The Germans" (with the understanding that they weren't actually Germany). This seemed relevant when I thought of it.

Further, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke, or in English, Bavarian Motor Works. This could be another hit to these "Germans" of my story, as "Bayer" came up specifically in my words back in 2020. At that time, the only lead I had to go on was to translate it as referring to Bavaria and look at the meaning of that word. Interestingly, when Bayer was mentioned, it was in the context of Baptism. I had a vision or image of a baptism placed in my mind. This is potentially meaningful because I have interpreted your "Jack dry stolen" as relating to baptism, and in Jack's case the lack of one.

Here are those words from April 28, 2020, with my brief commentary then on what I saw:

Edel umbrate minister/ministry [to come?]

[Later in afternoon]
Bayer
[Scene of a baptism]
vie sen
[Bringing light into shape]

Anyway, like I said, if you look up Bayer, you first come to it being a reference to Bavaria, and the people who come from that part of Germany.

Thus, seeing the AMU in context of BMW brought to mind this mention of Bayer and Baptism, and in conjunction with these Germans/ Stone Couriers.

I should also note that the symbol of BMW is meant to portray a propeller (the white propeller against the blue sky), also pointing to this theme of "Ascent". It also joins the concept of Flying with Sailing (our air or space as the water that will be traversed) as propeller was first used to specifically mean that which moved a vessel on or under the water, and then applied to flying machines.

This next comment is so random, but like your BMW repeat, this repeated for me as well, and so I am going to mention it.

When you first posted your stamp message, before arriving at AMU, in a word that ascended from left to right, I also saw it as UMA, as a word that descended from right to left.

When hearing "Uma", I thought of the name of a character from some Disney movies my kids would watched called "The Descendants". In those movies, there is a character called Uma, who is the daughter of Ursula. Ursula is the Sea Witch from The LIttle Mermaid. As an Octopus, this is already starting in Ungoliant territory.

Uma is also an Elvish word, and its roots of U- and Um- have some interesting roots to also look into if you are so inclined (including ties to Ungoliant, evil hordes, and Evil Hand, and other things).

However, once I arrived at AMU, and this made sense, I left the UMA reference alone.

This morning, though, I went for a run, and I had the thought to look up a specific song from that Descendents movie involving Uma. This was another repeat of this UMA theme, and so I looked up the song. I didn't know the title, but it turns out it's called "It's Going Down". This seemed a remarkably syncy title, given that UMA in your stamp message is indeed "Going Down", or descending. So, another double meaning, in which AMU goes up, and UMA descends.

In listening to the song, without the context of the movie, the lyrics also seemed interesting (I don't know the actual story, either), though it is at the end you get his chant of "Uma" and Uma wishing everyone to know her name and to say it.

Apparently, this ties to an earlier song in which Uma introduces herself and her evil pirate crew. I will post both below. Just to orient you, the "It's Going Down" song starts with Uma singing, and then continues with a dialogue between her crew and the good guys:

Also of note in this sync, the actress who plays Uma is named China McClain.

As one other thought on this, the name Uma also reminded my of Uma Thurman. Even though I have never seen it, the movie I most associate with Thurman is the unfortunately named "Kill Bill" (in 2 volumes!)

Quentin Tarantino wrote those movies. His last name is associated with Spider/ Tarantula. Both Tarantino and Tarantula come from the same Italian city name of Taranto. Seemed an interesting connection between the title Kill Bill, a spider, and the name Uma.

Uma Thurman also reminds me of the Fall Out Boy song. I just looked up those lyrics, which start with someone saying they can move mountains, and work miracles, while keeping an oath. Later on, they bring up "two lions" and how in some way they were worth the Blood of the Lamb:

The blood, the blood, the blood of the lamb
Is worth two lions, but here I am
And I slept in last night's clothes and tomorrow's dreams
But they're not quite what they seem

The main place I have seen two lions mentioned and discussed are those lazy Animalia lions in the library.

I'd never heard of those movies and at first thought you were referring to the George Clooney movie, which I figured must have had a character named Uma whose mother's name was Ursula, the same name as the Little Mermaid character. Not until I after some googling did I figure out you were talking about a character whose mother was literally Ursula the Sea Witch. I see that her signature color is turquoise (blue-green) and that the latest movie she's in is called "The Rise of Red."

Given the title of my post "Ascending to the black star," it's appropriate that "Descendants" comes from the opposite of "ascend" and that you focused on a Black "star" in it. (Is China McClain famous enough to qualify as a movie star? I'd never heard of her.)

My first thought when I saw the name Uma was that it's Japanese for "horse." The real first name of Riff Raff (the real-world rapper, not the dream character) is Horst. Incidentally, Amu is the name the Taiwanese use for Eminem, another White rapper.

William Wright (WW) said...

The Eminem link for Amu is interesting. Just as with Riff Raff, that isn't his real name. It's Marshall Mathers. The last name gives us "Reaper, Mower", which is a pretty suitable for my guess as the Anu character, given that Reap is yet another reference to a harvest.

A Marshall can be a military commander, but it is also specifically another word for "Groom", which is a direct hit in multiple senses for both a servant as well as its use in a marriage or wedding. This story involves both of those.

William Wright (WW) said...

Your quoting of my comment regarding the scrabble score of 24 also caught my attention. I wrote "Amu gives us a solid 24". The phrasing stood out to me as I read it again in terms, particularly the word "solid". Why a solid 24?

I looked up Solid and got on definition of "sound, trustworthy, genuine, whole".

When I first scored it and came up with 24, I looked to see what that might mean, if anything. I ended up dropping it, but had looked at the 24 Elders mentioned in Revelation as a possibility. These 24 even made the cut in Joseph Smith's Q&A in D&C 77.

In that Q&A, Joseph says noted that these elders had been faithful, and thus were then in the paradise of God. Revelation mentions that they were clothed in white raiment, sitting on thrones surrounding a another on a throne (who was likened to Jasper and Ruby... both Red), and wearing crowns of gold.

Anyway, a "Solid 24" in one sense of the word Solid would mean a "Trustworthy 24", with Trustworthy being a synonym for Faithful. So a possible connection there given my unintentional word choice. This could also relate to the two sets of Twelve from Jerusalem and Bountiful, but still thinking through that a bit. The 24 Elders sat on Thrones in the vision as we have it, which seems like it might get to Jesus' teachings at Bountiful that the Twelve from Jerusalem and the other Twelve from Bountiful would sit as judges.

Anyway, we have a Red One ascending in the AMU word game and my story, and so this seems like it could tie the scrabble score of 24 to the imagery of these 24 Elders surrounding a throne occupied by a man with a Red appearance.

Makes sense enough for me to mention it, at least.

Also, speaking of Red.

My daughter came home from the arcade today. She showed me a few toys she had 'bought' with the tickets she won at the games. Her major prize? A red Magic Eight Ball - the kind you ask a question, and it shows you an answer. I have seen plenty of black eight balls, but never in my life have I seen a red version.

And it is fairly big, so I am going to take notice, obviously, of a large, red ball. In looking at this big red ball, I then saw not an 8, but a lemniscate, the mathematical symbol for eternity, timelessness, with also the archaic meaning of being "of a great age".

I looked up Magic Eight balls later to see if I was crazy or not in thinking that these were typically all black, like the billiard ball. They are, but I scrolled down far enough to find the only color version I could, which happened to be a red one just like the one my daughter had. Here is the link - it looks exactly like this one, and may actually be it for all I know:

https://tintoyarcade.com/christmas-red-8-ball.html

A Red Ball that is specifically tied to Christmas. Pretty good.

My attention was then drawn to the circular window that you receive your answer through. In Eight Balls, these comprise of a circular window in which a triangle appears with the answer. It took me a second to realize where I have seen that symbol of a circle with a triangle within it: The Philosopher's Stone!

This was a very interesting realization, given that I have tied the concept of the Philosopher's Stone (and the Magnum Opus) to the Rose Stone, also red in color like this giant red eight ball bearing that symbol.

The Philosopher's Stone also has a tangential Rumpelstiltskin link, in that it was sought after because, like Rumpelstiltskin, it could things into gold.
