Wonderland – a place that gave the impression of being chaotically lawless, while secretly working according to its own rules (p. 433)cartoon strips that ranged from the whimsical (‘The Doings of those Darling Ducks’) to the jarringly racist (‘That Naughty Nigger and his Bunny Bimbo’) (p. 434)Playfully reversing the tourist cliché ‘See Naples and die’, a magazine advertisement in 1903 offered ‘See BLACKPOOL and Live’ (p. 435)
That first excerpt, about Wonderland "secretly working according to its own rules," made me think of "The world is bound with secret knots," which came up in the sync-saturated comments on "Just-ice and Al-ice."
After reading, I checked YouTube. The first video in my feed, published just minutes before I saw it, was Ragtime Rev performing the minstrel song "Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, Neber Die." (Our algorithms, ourselves, right?) This obviously syncs with the Nigger reference quoted above, and also with the idea that one should not see Naples and die but rather see BLACKPOOL and live.
The second video in the feed, published several hours before, was a discussion of Carroll's Wonderland by The Resurrectionists, including this reference to wonderlands working by their own secret rules:
That is the hidden logic of upside-down worlds. They look chaotic on the surface, but underneath they are doing something very precise.
This very closely parallels the first excerpt from The Story of Alice above. It is perhaps not a terribly original thought, but the time factor still makes it a noteworthy sync.
Update (May 12): I see that Ragtime Rev, a.k.a. Foundring, apparently violated the secret rules of YouTubeland and has been banned -- an appropriate fate for the composer of the classic tune "Oy Vey, Shut It Down" -- so I was very lucky to have seized the opportunity to listen to "Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, Neber Die" before it was everlastingly too late.
Note added: Neber fear, it's still available on Rumble.

William,
Interestingly and 'coincidenctly' this new post
dovetails into my last comment that I just posted
on your Just-Ice and Al-ice post.
The Nigredo breaks the 'rules' of the illusion
and yes to be transformed
is both a death and a new beginning.
To slay the dragon ( the shadow ) is not for the weak
or for those who do not understand the slaying
of the dragon's power.

Copy and paste: asterisks mine
"wonder ( n)
In Middle English it also came to mean the
emotion of amazement or reverential awe excited by
novelty or something extraordinary and ****not well understood***
(late 13c.). By mid-14c. as "a spectacle."
"Own rules" doesn't necessarily mean 'bad or evil.
It can mean being committed to our own truth
and not to be blinded by the illusion even if our truth
is not 'socially accepted or understood'.
And yes, I absolutely believe we all need a compass
to navigate through this duality
dimension, but our soul ( connected to God ) is our
true compass. Not man's 'laws' to be accepted
blindly.
William,
Sorry, my bad. I accidently hit 'publish' and wasn't finished
with my comment so I deleted the first comment.
Here's the comment.
Yet another odd sync just happened ( 6:42 pm, May 10 )
and I believe validates my perspective as far as the sync
fairies who never disappoints and will always cross
our paths with information that we need to know and when
we need to know it.
Here's the back story :
While reading the link you posted from the
Samizdat blog, I came upon this
very interesting part and lo and behold
something caught my eye.
As mention
in my previous comment where I thanked you
for sharing the link, I am not surprise
that this secret knot knowledge has a Rosy connection,
as I've shared that my Rosicrucian puzzle pieces are
huge part of my paranormal experiences.
Here's a copy and paste: asterisks mine
"Such a man was Johann Valentin ****Andreae,
whom many have considered (and many still do consider)
to be, if not the author, at least the inspirer
of the Rosicrucian manifestos.
**** Andreae was a Lutheran mystic**** and writer of
utopian works, like the Christianopolis of 1619,
similar in spirit to those of Bacon and Campanella."
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Why is the name Andreae odd and a possible sync
you ask?
Recall I recently sent you a photo of a drawing of me.
The drawing is signed by the artist, Andree
and the year ( 1980 ).
As I explained in my email, I think this image was drawn
when I attended some type of fair or carnival perhaps
given by Society Bank as an employee outing.
I don't recall anything about the artist, but I do recall
the drawing was done at the artist's booth outside.
Fast forward to 2003.
Interestingly in 2003 when I first had my Rudolf Steiner
dream which I've shared with you many times before,
in that dream a White man ( whom I didn't know ) was walking
in the parking lot of the apartments where my family
lived ( IRL ) in Dayton after we moved
from our grandparents' house in 1969.
In that dream the White man walked towards me, Marshall
and Marshall's father. IRL I did NOT know Marshall when I lived
in the apartments in Dayton in the late 1960--late 1970's.
The White man was wearing an absolutely beautiful vivid blue
outfit which I felt that he was perhaps from a fair or carnival
that was in town ( Dayton).
That's interesting given the drawing was done at a carnival
but of course I didn't realize that fact at the time of the dream.
The man walked up to Marshall's father and they
began to speak. I felt that the language they were speaking
was German. I then went up to Marshall's father and the
man and I was very attracted to the man and his dark hair,
and very intense eyes!!!
I don't recall much more of the dream, but when I woke up
I goggled : White man, dark hair, mystic, Germany
intense eyes and lo and behold guess what hits I got from
that google search?
When I saw photos of Steiner on line,
I knew that was the man in the dream.
What's also odd is that the in the drawing, Andree drew
my top ( blouse ) in blue. Which I don't recall what
color top I was wearing , could have been blue.
Also in the drawing Andree drew a blue background
and blue streaks in my hair, which of course there
were no blue streaks in my hair IRL.
Also Steiner was a first decan Pisces like myself.
Sync fairies be busy.

William,
Also I forgot to add that drawing of me was stored away
in a box since 1993 when Marshall and I moved to where we live now.
I had forgotten all about it until last year when I happened
upon it when cleaning out the basement.
When I sent you a photo
of the drawing in March of this year,
I had forgotten the name of who had drawn it.
Like I say I don't recall anything about the artist at all, but
I have been wondering on and off if the name Andree had any
symbolic connection since finding the drawing
and sending a photo to you. I did research a bit, but nothing
really stood out that I felt was significant until
today and it was an immediate connection
when I read the Samizdat post
so again Thank you for linking it.
Very interesting.
