Farley Fee Fratt and Peanut Butter Lewis

This nonsense dredged up from the past is Wade's fault.

In a June 7 comment on "The closest calendrical approximations of pi," he wrote:

What's more, we recently discussed the significance of "P" (as in black-eyed p).

Now, pi (rhymes with "pie") in classical Greek, is customarily pronounced pi (rhymes with "pea").

In order for P to resonate with "Pharazôn", it would by rights have to be phi (rhymes with "fee").

One of my younger brothers, when he was very young, used to make up nonsense variants of names found in the Doctrine and Covenants. I don't know why I have such a photographic memory for this gibberish, but I do. One of his creations was this set of names:

Parley P. Pratt
Barley B. Bratt
Farley Fee Fratt
Marley Mee Mratt

In order to preserve the alliteration, Messrs. Fratt and Mratt got middle "initials" that were not pronounced in the standard way, and their "etymology" is that they are variants of Mr. Pratt's middle initial of P. So, as in Wade's comment, we have Fee as a variant of P.

The other thing Wade has been commenting about is his idea that I'm supposed to be some sort of priest or something, and that recent syncs related to levitation are actually meant to draw my attention to the similar-looking word Levite. This led me to write, in a June 7 comment on "It is impossible for people to fly -- but they did":

There's some French joke about being a Marxist of the Groucho variety. If I were a Levite, it would be of the Eliphas variety.

Éliphas Lévi, the 19th-century French priest-turned-magician, whose influence on all subsequent "magical" thought cannot be overstated, was born Alphonse-Louis Constant and created his nom de guerre by choosing Hebrew names that were superficially similar to his given names. Thus, in his case, Lévi was derived from Louis. He is not the only one to have made the connection. The surname Lewis can be a variant either of Louis or of various Jewish surnames deriving from Levi. If these names are considered interchangeable, that makes me a "son of Levi" by virtue of the fact that my father's name is Louis.

In yesterday's "Jam I am," I posted this picture, which includes an anthropomorphic jar of peanut butter with the initials PB on his breast pocket. 


This -- together with my thoughts on the name Lewis in connection with Wade, who had also just reminded me of Farley Fee Fratt and company -- made me think of another of my brother's sets of names:

P. B. Lewis (Peanut Butter Lewis)
P. B. Lewis (Philip Butter Lewis)
P. I. Lewis (Peanut Butter Lewis)
P. A. Lewis (Papa Lewis)

These people all had to be referred to by both their initials and their full names in parentheses, since there were two different P. B. Lewises with different middle names and (somehow) two different Peanut Butter Lewises with different initials. This reminds me of how Bill's comments are always signed "William Wright (WW)," with both his full name and his initials.

At one point, my brother wrote a short and intentionally confusing a story about the four Lewises, but it didn't make it into the Commentarius Coccineus, and I don't remember any of the details.

Wish I had more time right now to engage this post, but just let me say that my apparent preoccupation with the Levite idea stems entirely from "levitation"-- I'm of course punning on it-- but "Lewison" (son of Louis) does indeed get us awfully close to nominating you a Levite. And if you want to imagine that the Levi in question is "Éliphas Lévi, the 19th-century French priest-turned-magician,"-- so mote it be.

In the end, this all has to do with the "divination" you performed. You publicized that divination, implicitly inviting your audience to weigh in on the divination's meaning-- yet the subject matter thereof makes weighing in a delicate affair. Rather than definitively formulate the oracle's answer to your question, you chose instead to emphasize the levitation that the photograph depicted (and which we both know is fake). I maintain that the artifice of the photo, its artificial character, is a key part of the answer to the question you posed.

As to you being a (kind of) cleric or priest-- is it really so far-fetched? Remember when you were informally "baptized" not so long ago? Could it be that you will similarly undergo an "ordination"?

"And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food." Leviticus 22:7

Levi and Levites definitely keeps the Blue Jeans/ Levi Strauss thing going.

Jay Leno was one of our first major connections to Blue Jeans. I did a quick search to see if Leno had a preference for Levi's. One of the first results was reference to a strange skit spoofing on and combining Leno's penchant for car collection and his blue denim uniform. The skit was about a full-denim car called the "Leno 501".

Have you ever taken note of the traditional Levi stitching that goes on the back pockets of their jeans. They call it the "Arcuate", which is apparently from the Latin "Arcus" meaning Arc or Bow. The original purpose or meaning to the symbol, and also why the original jean was called the "501", is lost to history since the original Levi offices were destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the ensuing fire.

It is a double bow, which to me looks like how one would do a simple drawing of a bird, two wings, etc.

One of my missionary associates -- never my companion, but we lived in the same apartment -- fancied himself an expert on Kaballah and asserted that the number 501 meant "made by God." I'm not sure where he got that.

The name Asher is 501 in Hebrew gematria. I remember that from Vernon Jenkin's analysis of the breastplate of the high priest.

While I was digging up that old webpage, I found that he'd also done an article called "Concerning Solomon's Pi":

One of the things I've discovered in my recent study of the Book of Mormon is that the Nephites knew nothing about the Levites.

Speaking of Levis and clergymen, it is apparently quite common for people to mishear Neil Diamond's "Forever in Blue Jeans" as "The Reverend Blue Jeans."

William,
Part 1 of 2 
Although I disagree with Wade as I've stated in my previous
comment as far as deciding what's fake or not, IMHO
I think he's missing the core of the point regarding
the paranormal. The paranormal like all power sources is not
good OR evil. It's not either/or.

It's the ego that interprets if
something is good or bad or fake or real.

Synchronicity is a meaningful 'coincidence' created by
our soul  to get our attention. It's defies the ordinary.
Much like our dreams.

Many people don't understand the Universal Language
of symbolism.  The picture you posted of levitation
may be fake but that's not the point,
  it got your attention and has opened another door
regarding WHY the syncs and paranormal experiences
were given to you in the first place.

When I experienced clairaudience in the antique barn
 IRL in the late 1990's in Springfield Ohio( which I've shared
on your blog many times )
and I heard the 'voice' in my right ear shout:
' DON'T GO BACK THERE', I could have dismissed
it as 'not real' or silly as most people would have done.

However being very aware of the power of
the paranormal,  I changed direction.
I change my fate and the man in the barn whom
 I now believe my soul could see the trajectory
of a very probable tragic future.
 I believe that the point of the SHOUT was to get my attention.

The 'paranormal' is just another door. Another
alternative way to seek the truth. Which seeking 
answers was why you asked the 'oracle' questions
in the first place, no?

Having said that, once again the sync fairies
have showed up which has convinced me that
Wade might have been right regarding your role
as scribe.

A scribe just records information which is what
you're doing. You're providing a platform for
information. 
A teacher is a scribe and what an extremely
important position that is. To hold  and
record the knowledge, like Thoth ( the good, the bad
and the ugly) is a huge undertaking.

A scribe is the 33. The 11 is the visionary, the 22
 is the movement and the 33 is the fruit/knowledge
manifested.
Knowledge like all power sources
is not good OR evil. It's both.

William,
part 2

Case in point. Last night  6/7, once again a
random movie appeared on my youtube feed
titled: Source Code. I'm sure you can imagine how
my youtube feed is saturated with a gazillion videos
on just about all subjects as my field of research
is a vast spectrum of ideologies.

I think the 2011 movie Source Code got my attention because
of the title only. 
Ive never seen it before.

Many times, especially recently I will watch a random movie
and lo and behold one ( usually several ) of my puzzle pieces
are ' buried' inside the story. When the symbolism appears,
it gets my immediate attention because 
there is something in the story I need to know.
The sync fairies never disappoint, at least not for me.

That was true of Source Code when lo and behold
the name Lily appeared! In this movie Lily is
not a persons' name, it's a part of the Source Code.

The number 8, the number 11, cards and
the Queen of Spades and 4 of clubs ( having
to do with Lily) are very interesting buried symbolism
in Source Code.

In the movie (which you'll see a bit of this in the trailer below)
there is a visionary 11, a 'movement'22, and a scribe33.

The visionary11 is a Nigedo, Dr. Rutledge played by Jeffrey Wright,
the 'movement22' is the protagonist soldier Colter Stevens
played by Jake Gyllenhaal and the 33scribe is
Colleen ***Goodwin played by Vera Farmiga who
indeed is a Good-wind.

Note that the wind and air deities are symbolic of 
communication.
Copy and paste:
"In mythology, Mercury (known as Hermes in Greek) is the Roman
and Greek god of commerce, travel,**** communication,
and as a ****messenger between gods and mortals.

While not a wind deity in the classical sense,
 Mercury is often associated with wind and air
 in symbolic and mythological contexts."
~~~~~~~~~~

As we both know the messenger is not always
regarded as the good guy, especially if
the message is not something that many
may not want to hear or perhaps don't
understand.

Links below are to the trailer and the movie.

In the movie link starting about 7:15 note the dialogue
between the scribe 33 Goodwin and the 22 movement Colter.

Note that Colter ( who is in the Military)
mentions : FLYING.  Goodwin gives Colter
a memory code which includes Lily.
In the memory code Lily wears
an evening dress ( moon symbolism )
and an Opera cloak and in her hands
she holds 5 cards. Opera meaning work, effort,
opus.. Also theater in a play.
5 is the number of change.


All the worlds a stage, no?

IMHO, in order to understand fully the paranormal
requires us to follow the symbolism.
