I was asked what I thought of the new Disney Pixar movie Soul. There are many similarities in the movie with my web site, including themes or elements of an NDE; avoiding the white light; the counting, tracking and even capturing of souls; the memory wipe; the recycling of life; being in "the zone"; lost souls and more. So I decided to write a review and analyze it.
You can read the article here : Soul: Is the New Disney Pixar Movie Soft Disclosure About Avoiding the White Light at Death?
LiveWire - In a Mountain Dew commercial for limited time only Mountain Dew product called LiveWire, two men watch puzzingly as numerous insects fly into a light zapper to a certain death. One asks, "Why do they do that? Don't they see that their friends are getting zapped?" The other man replies, "I don't know. They must be stupid." Ironically, a large glowing orange orb of LiveWire starts pulsating and hypnotizes the two men who helplessly are drawn headfirst into its core, stunning themselves in the process. If you touch a live wire you will get shocked or electrocuted. After they walk into the orb, one says, "That was stupid" Notice the sign behind them that says "HOT FOOD". The announcer says "Introducing Mountain Dew LiveWire. Discover what the attraction is all about."
A Bugs Life - In this movie, one bug warns another one not to fly into the light trap, "No, Harry, No!. Don't look at the light!" but to no avail as the victim laments, "I can't help it! It's so beautiful!" **
Star Trek Voyager - In the Star Trek Voyager episode Coda, Captain Janeway is almost fooled by an alien into thinking she has died. The alien poses as her father, imploring her to follow him into the light. She is suspicious of his intentions and refuses.
JANEWAY: That's the real me, isn't it, lying on the ground on that planet, dying, and this is the hallucination. This isn't real.
ALIEN: More denial. You're only making it harder on yourself.
JANEWAY: You're trying very hard to convince me to come with you. Why is that? If what you're saying is true, why not let me come to the decision on my own?
ALIEN: I'm trying to spare you unnecessary pain.
JANEWAY: My father would never act like this. He always believed I had to learn my own lessons, make my own mistakes. He never tried to shield me from life. Why would he try to shield me from death? You're not my father. I could be imagining you, but I don't think so. You have such a specific agenda. You're determined that I go with you somewhere. Who are you?
ALIEN: I'm trying to help you. Stop fighting me.
JANEWAY: Are you an alien being of some kind? Is that it?
[Planet Surface]
CHAKOTAY: Her eyes are open.
EMH: Vital signs are responding. Blood pressure is sixty over thirty.
TUVOK: But the entity is still inhabiting her cerebral cortex, impeding your treatment.
CHAKOTAY: Kathryn, hang on. We're bringing you back. Just fight a little longer.
EMH: Direct synaptic stimulation might drive out the alien presence.
[Mess hall]
JANEWAY: I was right. I heard Tuvok and Chakotay and the Doctor. You're an alien. You've created all these hallucinations, haven't you?
ALIEN: This is what my species does. At the moment just before death one of us comes down to help you understand what's happening, to make the crossing over an occasion of joy. **
JANEWAY: And what is that?
ALIEN: Our Matrix, where your consciousness will live. I was being truthful when I said it was a place of wonder. It can be whatever you want it to be.
JANEWAY: Then why didn't you tell me this from the beginning? Why pretend to be my father.
ALIEN: Usually people are comforted to see their loved ones. It makes the crossing over a much less fearful occasion. I've done this many times, but I've never encountered someone so resistant.
[Planet Surface]
EMH: Something's happened. The alien presence is getting stronger again.
CHAKOTAY: Fight it, Kathryn, just a little longer.
EMH: I'll have to try a thoron pulse.
[Mess hall]
JANEWAY: My people are telling me to fight. They're trying to save me.
ALIEN: They're trying out of desperation. It's hopeless.
JANEWAY: You're the one who sounds desperate. I don't get the feeling you're trying to make me comfortable. You're only interested in my agreeing to come with you.
ALIEN: Because it's inevitable.
JANEWAY: And you don't strike me as any type of Good Samaritan. You're more like a vulture, preying on people at the moment of their death when they're at their most vulnerable.
ALIEN: I've waited for you. I've been patient.
JANEWAY: But your patience is wearing thin. What's the real reason you want me in that Matrix? Somehow I don't think it has anything to do with everlasting joy.
ALIEN: You must go with me.
JANEWAY: If you could force me to go, you'd have done it already. You need me to agree, don't you? I have to go voluntarily.
ALIEN: Wouldn't that be better than standing here in this endless debate?
JANEWAY: Let me tell you this. We can stand here for all eternity and I will never choose to go with you.
ALIEN: You're in a dangerous profession, Captain. You face death everyday. There'll be another time and I'll be waiting. Eventually you'll come into my Matrix and you will nourish me for a long, long, time.
JANEWAY: Go back to hell, coward.
Afterwards, Captain Janeway discusses the encounter with one of her crew.
CHAKOTAY: I can understand that. I can't help thinking about it. That alien, his Matrix, he was like the spider that has to lure a fly into his web.
JANEWAY: Do you think it's possible that each of the near death experiences we've heard about are the result of an alien inhabitation? **
Logan's Run (1976, MGM)
The very first frame of this brilliant sci-fi classic from the '70's begins with this proclamation: "Sometime in the 23rd century... the survivors of war, overpopulation and pollution are living in a great domed city, sealed away from the forgotten world outside. Here, in an ecologically balanced world, mankind lives only for pleasure, freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything. There's just one catch: Life must end at thirty unless reborn in the fiery ritual of Carousel."
Francis: Some of our guys are on Carousel tonight, and Sandmen always
renew, I know.
Logan: But you don’t know. You just assume - one-for-one. What
everyone’s been taught to believe - one-for-one.
Francis: Well, why not? That’s exactly how everything works. It keeps everything in balance. One is terminated, one is born. Simple, logical,
perfect. You have a better system?
Logan: Of course not. At least I wonder about it sometimes. Not like
you with your automatic one-for-one routine. You know you sound like a
Sleep Teacher with a stuck tape?
Francis: Logan, leave it alone. It’s perfect. [bumps into a Red] You know, Logan, you wonder a lot, too much for a Sandman.
Logan: Why were you so angry just then. What did he do to you?
Francis: That Red’s gonna run. I can always tell.
Logan: Did you ever see Francis 8?
Francis: I’ve never even visited Nursery before tonight. You know, when you question, it slows you down. I don’t know - what makes you so
curious? You know who his seed mother was?
Logan: Of course not. I’m curious, not sick!
Francis: Good! [laughs] Look at the crowd. Good Carousel tonight.
Carousel: Lastday, Capricorn 15’s. Year of the City, 2274. Carousel begins. [repeats]
S: [Looks at left palm, then to Francis] Don't forget, we're both on
Monitor tonight. [Logan, Francis and S laugh]
[All enter the Carousel ampitheater]
Francis: [Asks a girl sitting close by for more room] Would you mind?
Thanks a lot.
Logan: Well, there’s a few over there that could have been his seed
mother.
Francis: Only a few? You’re just not trying. [laughs]
Carousel: Capricorn 15’s, born 2244. Enter the Carousel. This is the time
of renewal. Be strong, and you will be renewed. Identify. Rise.
[The Carousel scene. The platform with a red crystal rotates. The Lastday people float upward, and are hit with strong laser blasts as they
approach the clear crystal]
Everyone: Up! Up! C'mon! Renew! Renew!
[Logan gets a call (RUNNER, GREAT HALL, ENTRANCE WEST). Logan leaves. Francis follows,
startling Logan. They locate a runner, and shoot at him like cats
chasing a mouse]
Francis: Ha ha!
Logan: Run, runner! laughter] He was crazy. He could have renewed on Carousel. Now he’s
finished forever. Why do they run?
Finding Nemo - This scene features an angler fish, a real fish, which lures its prey to death by dangling a light out in front! Notice a direct comparison is made to the afterlife. **

Daredevil - The devil, red suit and all, posing with the full moon. He tells a dying man, "The light at the end of the tunnel? Guess what, that's not heaven... it's the C Train! [the dying man threatens, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you".] Of course, the crescent moon does look like a 'C' in the sea of space.
The Ring - The tagline on a poster of this movie was, "Before You Die, You See The Ring". The Ring is depicted as a solar eclipse! **
To Serve Man - One of the most classic Twilight Zone episodes ever. "Mr. Chambers! Don't get on that ship! The rest of the book, To Serve Man... It's a cookbook!"
Soylent
Green - One of the main characters, Sol, tries to warn the rest of humanity
that their food, Soylent Green, is made of people and quips that "It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people! They're making our food out of people. Soon they'll be breeding us like cattle!" The pun
here is that Sol-lent green is people. In other words, our green ectoplasm is
lent to the sun, Sol.
Burning Man - The Burning Man Festival is a festival which takes place every year in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. A man in effigy is sacrificed.
The Wicker Man - The ancient druids would sacrifice animals and men to the Sun in order to appease its anger and assure a good bumper of crops that Spring. This is reenacted in the film starring Christopher Lee.
"Mighty God of the Sun, Bountiful Goddess of our orchards... accept our sacrifice..."
DreamWorks Pictures introduces its movies with this short animation of a boy sitting on the moon and fishing in a body of water (perhaps symbolic of the subconscious mind where dreams are born), presumably on the Earth. This is similar to the siren motif which usually features an attractive woman luring sailors to their deaths with her sweet song and alluring eyes. **
**
The Prisoner - In the mysterious 1960's TV series, The Prisoner, produced by Everyman Pictures, every facet of a man's life is controlled. They try to strip the man's identity and refer to him only as Number Six. He defiantly proclaims every week in the trailer, "I am not a number! I am a free man! I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!" The village featured a lunar control base reminiscent of the Truman Show. On one side, you can see a view of the earth; on the other, space. In this scene a spirit rover hunts down a man and suffocates him. The controller of the village says, "Follow the signs." Notice the first sign says "Free sea" and the next one says "Repair".
Star Trek: For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky - In this episode of the original Star Trek series, the crew discover a hollow asteroid disguised as a planet whose inhabitants are duped into worshipping a deity who is portrayed as a sun. One inhabitant warns the crew that one day he was climbing a mountain, which is strictly forbidden. He says, "Where is outside? Many years ago I climbed the mountains even though it is forbidden [winces in pain]. Things are not as they teach us for the world is hollow and I have touched the sky!" [collapses in agony] Kirk repeats what he said, "trying to decipher the words. "For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky..... Yes, of course it is because if you did you'd touch the sky and find out you were living on a big ball. Not a planet, but a spaceship. And that knowledge seems to be forbidden."
Cirque Du
Soleil: The Journey of Man - This world famous circus is translated as
'Circus of the Sun'. The first show was entitled 'The Journey of Man'. Guess
where man's destination lies? The sun!

The Truman
Show - In the movie The Truman Show (the True Man show), Truman Burbank's
whole life in "Seahaven" is staged and phoney. His whole world, including the sun and moon, is
a gigantic set inside a large dome controlled from the moon. By the way the
Egyptian equivalent for Satan is named Set! Could it be that 'true man' is
inside a vast dome and that our world is controlled from a base on the moon?
Truman, trying to conquer his fear and escape, sets sail for blue sky only to
collide into a giant wall. This movie was hailed by critics as "original" and
"daring". Why? Because it contains our true origins and is daring to tell us the
truth? One of the movie's producers is a Rothschild, the family that started the
European banking dynasty.
Some taglines from the movie are:
On the air, unaware!
The World Is Watching...
The World is a Stage!
his wife is reading a book called "The Dream Machine 2"
one compassionate actor in the show, truman's love interest, secretly tells him, "everybody knows everything you do everybody's pretending... this....it's fake its all for you everything is all for you...the sea, the sand, the sky....it's all a set, it's a show
in one scene truman hears a different frequency on the radio and hears the truth...it's only when the frequency changes back that his normal life resumes
his friend tells him, "look at that sunset....that's the big guy"
truman meets his dead father on a bridge in fog
the creator and director of the show explains how they were able to fool Truman: "we accept the reality of the world which we are presented"
truman lives under a domed city...an island surrounded by water
truman becomes suspicious and sneaks off in a boat to leave the island in search of his true home
once they discover truman is missing the moon becomes a searchlight....."cue the sun" at night time
the demiurgic type figure, named Cristof, finds him and calls up the weather program causing a storm which capsizes the boat. Truman barely holds on to survive. Once the storm is over truman sails for blue skies but literally runs into a wall at sea... the boundary of the movie set and his world.
He climbs a set of stairs to meet his creator. A booming voice comes from the sky, the voice of Cristof, saying: "You can speak. I can hear you."
Truman: [to an unseen Christof] Who are you?
Christof: [voice-over] I am The Creator - of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions.
Truman: Then who am I?
Christof: You're the star.
Truman: Was nothing real?
Christof: You were real. That's what made you so good to watch.
At one point Christof made this statement about Truman: "He could leave at any time. If this were anything more than a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there is no way we could prevent him."
Dark City (1999)
Seemingly patterned after the Archon beings of the Gnostic texts and the reports in the Ufology community, Dark City is similar to The Truman Show -- a human was given fabricated memories of his childhood life and presented a false reality. He travels to the edge of his world to go home to Shell Beach but hits a wall. Like Truman, he tries to break through the wall.
Excerpts from the movie:
"They steal peoples' memories, then they swap them around between us. I've seen them do it, back and forth 'til no one knows who they are anymore. How do you know all this? Once in a while one of us wakes up while they're changing things. It's not supposed to happen, but it does.
----------------------------------
We fashioned this city on stolen memories. Different eras, different pasts, all rolled into one. Each night we revise it, refine it, in order to learn. Learn what? About you. You and your fellow inhabitants, what makes you human. Why? We need to be like you.
---------------------------------
I call them Strangers. They abducted us and brought us here. This city, everyone in it is their experiment. They mix and match our memories as they see fit, trying to divine what makes us unique. One day, a man might be an inspector. The next, someone entirely different. When they want to study a murderer, for instance, they simply imprint one of their citizens with a new personality. Arrange a family for him, friends, an entire history... even a lost wallet. Then they observe the results. Will a man, given the history of a killer, continue in that vein? Or are we, in fact, more than the sum of our memories? This business of you being a killer was a sad coincidence. You have had dozens of lives before now. You happened to wake up while I was imprinting you with this one. Why are they doing all this? It is our capacity for individuality -- our souls -- that makes us different from them. They think they'll find the human soul if they understand how our memories work. They have collective memories. They share one group mind. They're dying. Their race is on the brink of extinction. They think we can save them. Where do I fit in? You're different. You resisted my attempt to imprint you. Somehow you have developed their ability to Tune. That is how they change things, how they built this city. They have machines buried beneath the surface that allow them to focus their telepathic energies. They control everything here, even the sun. That's why it's always dark. They can't stand the light. Why do they need you? When they first brought us here, they extracted what was in us and stored the information, remixed it like paint and gave us back new memories of their choosing. But they still needed an artist to help them. I understood the human mind better than they ever could, so they allowed me to keep my skills as a scientist... because they needed them. They made me delete everything else. Can you imagine what it's like to erase your own past?
What about my past? What about my childhood? Shell Beach. Uncle Karl. What about this? This was blank when I found it.
You still don't understand. You were never a boy. Not in this place. Your history is an illusion, a fabrication, as it is with all of us.
--------------------------
There is no ocean, John. There's nothing beyond the city. The only place home exists is in your head.
-------------------------------
They want to imprint you with their own collective memories. They want to make you one of them... so they can share your soul.
-------------------------------
Here's the machine the Strangers use to amplify their thoughts, the machine that changes their world. You must take control of it. You must make the machine yours. I know you can beat them, but you must concentrate.
-------------------------------
You told me I had the power, didn't you? I can make these machines do anything I want. Make this world anything I want it to be. Just so long as I concentrate hard enough. Where are you going?
Shell Beach.
-----------------------------------
It's so beautiful here. So bright.
Do you know if Shell Beach is around here?
I think that's it over there. I'm headed that way myself. Would you like to join me?
The Thirteenth Floor - The Thirteenth Floor was released the year after the Truman Show and like The Truman Show and Dark City, the main character travels to the edge of his world and discovers that it's a simulation.
DOUGLAS: How many simulated worlds like this are there?
JANE: Thousands. Yours is the only one that ever created a simulation within the simulation. Something we never expected.
DOUGLAS: No Ashton, I'm not really a God. I'm just like you. Just a bunch of electricity.
ASHTON: What are you talking about?
DOUGLAS: It's all smoke and mirrors. Just like your world. We're nothing but a simulation on some computer. It's like a machine. Like this arcade game. You've got your players and you put your nickel in. This one pitches. This one runs around the bases. Pre- programmed movements generated by electrical energy. We're improved on this model since then. The players can beat the shit out of and try to drown some other, which is always fun.
The Matrix - This is a sci-fi classic where Neo is told humans are nothing more than a battery - a source of power for the machines and that he is living in a false world, a matrix.
"Wake up, Neo. The Matrix has you...." What the HELL? " Follow the white rabbit"
Neo is asleep in a dream world and needs to pay attention to archetypes and symbolism.
The book were Neo stashes the computer discs/ programs: "Simulacra and Simulation"...guy tells Neo he's his savior.... you don't exist
Neo: "Ever had that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or still dreaming?
You need to unplug.
Trinity: "I brought you here to warn you. They're watching you, Neo."
They talk about someting called 'The question'....."What is the matrix?"
The boss at Metacortex: "Every employee understands they are part of the whole"
Morpheus, the god of Dreams, guides Neo out of his cubicle prison at work were Agent Smith and the police are coming to take him
Agent Smith puts an archon like bug in his stomach
Neo wakes up in bed. Morpheus calls him, tells him he is the One and tells him to go to the bridge where trinity picks him up and removes the bug.
"Morpheus: You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up"
"You're here because you know something. What you know you cant explain but you felt it. you felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. ... do you know what I'm talking about?
The Matrix?
Do you want to know what it is? The matrix is everywhere/ It's all around us ...it is the world that as been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth...that you are a slave Neo, Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind,
he sees millions of humans hooked up to machines....he gets unplugged and goes through a tunnel...Morpheus: "welcome to the real world"
broadcast pirate signal and hack into the matrix
matrix: he is telling neo about the matrix from a clear/white void the construct or loading program....can load anything...training simulations...inside a computer program..."mental projection of your digital self"...
Morpeus tells Neo, "What is 'real'? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can see, what you can feel, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. This is the world that you know... it exists now only as part of neural interactive simulation that we call 'the matrix'. You've been living in a dream world, Neo."
Man unified and gave birth to AI.. a singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines
"Welcome to the desert of the real...They (the machines) were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun. The human body carries more bioelectricity than a 120-volt battery and over 125,000 BTU's of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion, the machines had found ... there are fields, endless, fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."
"What is the matrix? Control. The matrix is a computer generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this..." Morpheus displays a battery to Neo. "As long as the matrix exists, the human race will never be free." **
"we never free a mind once it's reached a certain age...it's dangerous....the mind has trouble letting go"
"don't think you are...know you are....stop trying to hit me and hit me"
you have to let it all go....fear, doubt and disbelief...free your mind"
"sentient programs..... anyone we haven't unplugged is potentially an agent...they are the gatekeepers...they are guarding all the doors, they are holding all the keys
Smith: "the first matrix was designed to be a perfect human world where no one suffered where everyone would be happy and it was a disaster -- no one would accept the program, entire crops were lost."
human beings as a species define their reality though misery and suffering ..the perfet world ...you kept trying to wake up from "
"as soon as we started thinking for you. it became our civilization which is what this is all about -- evolution
all the agent smiths look the same, like clones, like copies, like memes
smith: humans ---> virus
smith: "i hate this place...this zoo, this prison, this reality"
The Sentinels in the movie are AI and are a cross between metal, robotic insects, viruses and squid or octopi as they have tentacles.
Once Neo (anagram for 'one') believes in himself enough then it is apparent he is the One and he is able to stop bullets in mid air. He effortlessly fights off Agent Smith's attack and jumps inside of Agent Smith, travels to his brain or third eye area region and Agent Smith explodes into light....in Gnostic terms, the darkness or shadow is transformed by the Light Power of Neo.
The ending shows the matrix has a "system failure" as Neo phones the people of Earth and tells them he is going to show them a world without rules, controls and boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Neo puts on a pair of sun glasses, looks up toward the heavens and files away, ascending into the atmosphere. So the ending is about ascension.
================
birds, trees, wind etc are all programs running
The Oracle tells Neo: "a program can either choose to hide here or return to the source, the machine mainframe where you must go, where the path of the one ends" ...the door made of light in is dreams...she is saying the source is the machine and that the light leads to the machine
"you can return to Zion if you reach the source but to do that you will need the keymaker":..being held prisoner by an old program, the Merovingian
many agent smiths surround neo and tell him everything is because of purpose and they need to take back the purpose that neo took from them.....agent smith tries to assimilate neo and he starts turning into black goo
merovinigan's wife, persephone, takes them to the keymaker who is through a tunnel that has prison bars at the front end of it
the merovingian tells persephone it is only a game after cheating on her
looks like the Sentinels are coming through a tunnel from the Sun
the keymaker says there is a level in the building not reachable from elevators or stairs and it has doors one of which leads to Source.. they must destroy a power station to take out the grid network... all must be done as one
lion symbolism on the chair Morpheus is sitting in in the keymaker's building
Neo goes through the door of light and returns to the source where he meets the architect, a Demiurgic type figure who created the matrix. ** He is white haired and wearing a business suit and extremely serious. There are hundreds to thousands of computer screens showing different parts of Neo's lives including his reactions to meeting the Architect ..he calls Neo an anomaly of a harmony of mathematical precision ...says this is the 6th version of the matrix. Neo deduces the problem is choice. Those who refuse the program pose a threat to the system. He says Neo must return to Source and to comply with his orders and failure to do so would result in the annihilaton of all humans, .Neo says he wont annihilate all human beings because he needs them to survive. The Architect says Neo's love and emotion and attachment to his love, Trinity, will blind him
=========
Neo is in between the machine and matrix worlds.... meets the power plant's system manager for recycling.operations...
The Oracle says the Architect's purpose is to balance the equation and that her purpose is unbalance the equation
Agent Smith refers to the other Smiths as "the rest of me" indicating they are a collective
Agent Smith tries to assimilate Neo into black goo...Neo becomes an Agent Smith but accesses the Light Power from within and transmutes all of the Agent Smiths into light
The machines leave and the war is over...Neo saves them
The Architect talks with the Oracle and tells her she's "made a very dangerous game".... this implies that she might be a creative goddess and that the matrix was necessary for her game and that the Architect was the one in charge of making or adminstrating the Matrix. Or that peraps they were co-creators. Some say the term Demiurge literally means "half creator" and in some Gnostic interpretations they share responsibility for the creation of this universe. Incidentally, freemasons call god the Great Architect of the universe.
The Architect says the ones that want out will be freed
The sun rises and is said to be beautiful.
The Oracle says she didn't know but she believed.
Kevin Flynn is talking to his son, Sam.....
Flynn:...raced on ribbons of light..".together we built a new grid for programs and users...I couldn't be in there all the time so I created a program in my own image that could think like you and me and I called him Clu., Codified Light-disc Utility. And Tron, Clu and I built a system where all information was free. An then one day something happened. Something extraordinary. A miracle. " end -quote
Is CLU an anagram for LUC, Lucifer?)
they keep talking about the light grid system being a digital frontier to reshape the human condition
Flynn talking about the computer game system says: "in there is a new world..In there is our future. In there is your destiny. "
Flynn goes missing and Sam enters the video game in search of him. He is given an identity disc were everything he does and learns is imprinted on the disc.
He enters a bright white light and enters a battle game for the entertainment of a crowd of spectators. His dad was trapped in the grid and now is in charge. Sam must now battle CLU in the light cycle grid.
Flynn teaches about being selfless and removing one's self from the equation. CLU was a program designed to create the perfect world.. Something unexpected happened. A miracle. Isos, Isomorphic algorithms (Isos=Isis?), a whole new life form. Control, order, perfection -- none of it meant a thing -- They manifested like a flame. The conditions were right and they came into being. Isos were going to be is gift to the world but CLU happened (57:11 just as he says this he puts two tetrahedronal stars down on the fireplace mantle) CLU fed on Flynn's resistance...the harder he fought the more powerful CLU became. CLU saw the ISOs as an imperfection so he destroyed them.
The portal uses massive power and can only stay open for a while and can only be opened from the outside. The portal closed on him.and he couldn't get back home.

Before their "birth" on earth, clones are created in pods and programmed via light and hypnotic suggestion that they are "special" and "have been chosen to go to the island" which is powered by a holographic grid.
"You're special. You have a very special purpose in life. You've been chosen. The Island awaits you.... You've been chosen. You have a very special purpose. You're part of a new beginning.You're special. You have a very special purpose. You want to go to the Island. Your purpose in life is to populate the Island. You're part of a new beginning. You're special. Very special. You've been chosen. You've been chosen. Chosen to survive, to carry on. You want to go to the Island. Go, go! You have a very special purpose. Very special."

[Note: This review contains spoilers.] The Good Place is a show created by Michael Schur who also co-created Parks and Recreation and was a writer for the enormously popular show The Office. The Good Place, especially in the fiest season finale, is the Truman Show on steroids.
Four human souls in the afterlife are welcomed to "heaven" and told they are in "the good place" where there are 322 (Skull and Bones numerology reference)perfectly matched human souls . The place is literally run by demons posing in human form tormenting them. They are in a mostly okay place (to keep it from being a dead giveaway), but their weaknesses are exploited to keep them from being happy. Once they figure out they are actually in the bad place their memories are wiped and the simulation is rebooted. They have gone through hundreds of simulations. The simulation's architect of neighborhood 12358W (Fibonacci Golden ratio) is named Michael (Ted Danson), who originally appears similar to Michael, the chief archangel but is later to be revealed as demiurgic figure who is the chief archon/demon or Devil.
It has some interesting scenarios though as one of the humans was a philosophy teacher specializing in ethics so there are a lot of ethical and moral dilemmas presented throughout (also as a means of torture).
The Good Place is really more about life on earth and not the afterlife because they are in an earth like place with solid bodies and there is no telepathy or teleportation. The only thing they really had was the part where she started manifesting reality due to her bad thoughts but even that was programmed by Michael, I think, to trick her. But I do like the fact that the show has as part of its plot the idea that souls can be tricked in the afterlife into think that what is really hell is heaven.
So in the show there was this idea that it didn't work somehow just because the architect (Michael) had to blank their memory and restart. But this is exactly what solution they use in our actual life -- you constantly die, lose memory, and restart the same loop. What the show doesn't really show is how to exit since it's mostly filled with useless ethics philosophy (and even more deluded, childish point system).
I like how the show uses the four main characters to depict common flaws (kind of similar to The Wizard of Oz in that respect) as to why souls don't actually make it to the real heaven. Chidi's cowardly indecisiveness shows constant fear of making the wrong choice and a potential remorse/regret and guilt over decisions he might make so any Intention he has is weak. I think Eleanor is a shallow, selfish party girl and could even be characterized as having no will power to resist temptation. Tahani is vain and has a big ego and is attached to materialism. Finally, Jason (whose character is highly annoying to me) personifies ignorance which is obviously a huge common one for all duped souls. These characters seem to parallel those from The Wizard of Oz. Eleanor is Dorothy, the main character. She is the first image we see. She is the every"man", the normal avergage person who is not a saint nor evil. She picks up friends along her journey. They are all on a quest to make it to the mystical and magical land of paradise or heavenly realm where they will be complete and have everything they need. Chidi is the cowardly lion, big and strong physically yet lacking the courage to make a decision. Jason is the sacrecrow who lacks a brain. Tahani is the tin "man" who is lacking a heart. She gives enormous amounts of money to charity, but it wasn't because she was good-hearted as it didn't come from a place of compassion or because she cared. It was to make herself look good. Michael is the wizard of Oz, the older man behind the curtain pulling all the strings and denying them access by means of deception.
There have been NDEs with judges and even a courtroom though they are infrequent. Keep in mind the full cycle of dying for NDErs is never completed. I think the cases of lives between lives that are uncovered in hypnotherapy (Michael Newton, Dolores Cannon) have a council that guides the soul and there is the so called lords of karma and even in NDEs the ultimate judge is the being of light telling them they must go back. because they have a mission to complete ("learning"?) Either way, there are definitely authoritative figures or peer pressure involved in convincing the soul to return. However, I think the judges in the show are very immature and are a disrespectful mockery to how they would actually represent themselves in the afterlife. It's just a TV show and must contain light-hearted "comedy" in order to relate to the dumbed down masses.
I just finished watching the final season. I think they did a decent job with the last season.
I'm not sure about the overall message. There is the surface message that humanity is ultimately good and learning as we go. They seem to push the idea that we return over and over until we perfect ourselves or reach the best version of ourselves. But they did touch on the idea that spirits would get bored in an eternal afterlife after experiencing everything they ever wanted to do. And that once that is accomplished and they have reached a sense of completion and peace, then they can dissolve into nothingness I was a bit surprised they gave Buddhism such a fair shake with the idea of the wave in the ocean crashing onto the shore and then returning back (to its source). They never mentioned the white light or the void so I guess that is a push. At least they did alert people to the idea that the afterlife could be a trick and that there could be a "best" place to go to.
They did sort of touch on the idea of designing your own afterlife, but too much emphasis placed on there being a judge and us being at the mercy of their decisions, I think. Interesting that they had an architect named Michael.... perhaps a nod to the archangel Michael? Architect and demiurge are very similar ideas.
I thought their depiction of the female judge was very juvenile and irreverent / disrespectful, if there is a judge....Gnostics did talk about a Virgin of Light or something like that who may judge, idr. All the stupid butt humor etc in the show was very tedious to me, but I guess ofr a 30 minute show is par for the course, ridiculous imo.
I noticed when Eleanor walked through the door (which was an archway), there was a white light or white void. Perhaps she dissolved into the white light, not sure. But I think the archway of freemasonry may represent the arcing back and forth between the two poles of duality.
They did mention that it is the mystery and not knowing what is going to happen that makes this a worthwhile venture. And I think that is what Alan Watts suggested when he said we like to be surprised.
I don't know that they ultimately solved the mystery, but they did acknowledge that no one really knows and I think that is correct.
Did you catch the ending song about the cosmic ride on a groovy wave of love and how it ended with "we're gonna find a wave (way?) back to the sun, back to The One"?
Convicts and other willing participants agree to have their bodies completely controlled by a game player with user controls, but the originator of the game plans to enslave and trap all humans in the video game. One tandem is breaking free from the system though. The creator declares the character "dead" and then lures the game character with a virtual reality creation of his daughter sitting in the entrance of a moongate. It's a weird sequence in the movie. The character suddenly is underneath the stars looking up. He walks through a dark corridor or tunnel with a light at one end. He sees his daughter sitting in the light of the moongate and he runs to her only to hit a force field of what he finds out was just an illusion and a trap set for him. We see the moongate is at the top of some steps almost like a pyramid. The game creator takes him upstairs onto a barren rocky surface underneath the stars again. In light of the peviously mentioned moongate we can only assume this is meant to symbolize the moon. He takes him to a basketball court where a battle of will power ensues. The game ends (and movie too) as the hero enters a tunnel (with no visible light shown).
In the opening theme of 1960s TV series The Prisoner by Everyman Pictures Patrick McGoohan drives down the road (life's road), goes through a tunnel and enters a tunnel with a light at the end to doors that say "Way out". He has only his right eye open as if he is giving his boss the evil eye as he resigns. His ID is then taken by an automated process and put inside a drawer or filing cabinet. He then leaves through the tunnel and packs his bags. He thinks he is going on vacation to paradise or heaven, but is knocked out by gas and held as a prisoner in the Village. They try to dehumanize him as they refuse to give him a name, only the number 6, which is the number of man. The operation which keeps him as prisoner appears to be the moon as they have shots of space and the constellations on one side and the earth continents on the other and they also show a rocky base underground with podlike container tubes that go down into a hole reminiscent of craters. If he tries to escape a balloon-looking deviced called Rover hunts him down.
**
The opening sequence always contains this dialogue:
Number Six: Where am I?
Number Two: In the Village.
Number Six: What do you want?
Number Two: Information.
Number Six: Whose side are you on?
Number Two: That would be telling. We want information… information… information.
Number Six: You won't get it.
Number Two: By hook or by crook, we will.
Number Six: Who are you?
Number Two: The new Number Two.
Number Six: Who is Number One?
Number Two: You are Number Six.
Number Six: I am not a number! I am a free man!
Number Two: [laughs]
The Prisoner repeatedly proclaims, "I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!"
Number Six: I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!

transfer of ultimate power
#6 is granted the honor of sitting a throne or chair of honor atop a stepped pyramid of stairs
there is a silo or tower with the #1 on it with a blinking AI eye
3 men who represent specific forms of revolt are in cylindrical tubes beneath the surface in what look like crater holes ...the judge keeps repeatedly telling one man to confess but the man is speaking nonsensical crazy jibberish like a lunatic representing youth rebeling against the accepted norm but revolt must be abolished for the common good of society
The young prisoner is pronounced guilty and charged with the serious breach of social etiquette, defiance of elementary laws which sustain the community, questioning the decisions of those voted to govern, unhealthy aspects of speech and refusal to respond to his number

Michael Douglas plays a wealthy businessman caught up in the routine of life. His brother, played by Sean Penn, gives him a birthday gift for the man who has everything. It is a tailor-made "game" customized for the willing partcipant who willingly agrees to play the game. This "game" plunges him into a hell-like reality where he is thrown into survival mode and doesn't know what the truth is anymore of who he can trust. This company even has the power to control the daily news he watches. SPOILER ALERT: He is so distraught by the game that he jumps from the top of a skyscraper to commit suicide only to land on an inflated "X" that marks the spot or bull's eye. They had planned along for him to jump. As it turns out all of it was an elaborate prank or joke. Of course, you never "get" a joke until after the very end is told or played out. The funny thing is while all the hired actors (his so-called acquaintences and friends) celebrated afterwads, I never saw him crack a smile or laugh about it in the end. This movie hints that our very reality could in fact all just be an elaborate hoax or trick -- yes, a game.

arrows of misfortune
And fear neither noose nor fire.
To play the greatest

fate
And gain at last the key that will unlock
The Ninth Gate
Let me fear neither noose nor fire nor poison.
Erase me from the Book of
Life,
Inscribe me in the black Book of Death.
Bring me to
The Ninth
Gate"

From here every move of the prisoner is monitored. On one side is the Earth; on the other side, space. Notice the "eye in the sky".
Truman Show Moon Grid - Jim Carrey plays Truman, a metaphor for the 'true man'. He is living in a false world, a hoax perpetrated from the "Lunar Room," a world within a world.

Another classic like The Wizard of Oz. Willy Wonka is a wizard who runs a food factory. He plays a pipe or flute. He strikes me as a Demiurge type figure.
Just like the Demiurge he operates a food factory and it is an addictive food (chocolate) that people can't keep away from. So he conducts a type of lottery with golden tickets where people can take a trip to paradise to see how it all works. The other kids that are there all have horrible traits and are characterized as bad eggs. One is sucked into a pipe that leads to the furnace.

Whoa! I stumbled across an old Dr. Seuss cartoon from 1975 called The Hoober-Bloob Highway. It features a Demiurge character nicknamed 'The Dispatcher' who is in charge of dispatching souls to Earth. His job is to warn souls before choosing to come to Earth what to expect here. And he actually tells them they don't have to be a human, but can choose other forms. Amazing stuff. I sent the link to the cartoon to my friend who actually met the Demiurge in his NDE. He wrote back, "Interesting in every way... including the box... machine... He knew and hid it in a children’s story." When I talked to him in person about it, he mentioned the white orb-shaped soul, the golden thread and all the Yes/No questions the soul was required to answer which equated to the enormously large series of IF-THEN-ELSE programming options he participated in

Another amazing Dr. Seuss cartoon that reveals what's going on is The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat, an Emmy award-winning cartoon from 1982. The Grinch has invented a machine that can manipulate light. He calls the digital contraption a Darkhouse (as opposed to a lighthouse) and he can beam darkness or any color of light for great distances. He wreaks havoc in everyones' lives with the wave interference patterns he creates. He explains in technobabble how it works and the YouTube translator actually mistakenly hears him say the phrases "Saturn of Lagos" and "regular ring". Also, notice the ringed-planet in the VHS jacket cover for The Hoober-Bloob Highway. He has also invented a machine that can manipulate sound waves which allows him to control what everyone hears and says.

THE DEVILISH HORNED GOD PAN, THE SATYR FROM SATYRN & THE SATANIC OCCULT HIDDEN MEANING BEHIND DISNEY'S PETER PAN: Playful Pan, Pan, Hook, Neverland, The Pied Piper plus The Lost Boys, The Wind in the Willows, The Piper At the Gates of Dawn, Pan's Labyrinth, Legend, Lawnmower Man, The Call of Cthulhu, Mozart's The Magic Flute, & Michael Jackson's Neverland
Pan is the satyr from Satyrn in this satire called life. As the pied piper, he has the whole earth dancing to the tune of his pipe. Pan is a mysterious, artificial-looking moon of Saturn, the Lord of the Rings. Could it be that the rings of Saturn are broadcasting a signal that interferes with us?
Before we can begin to truly understand the meaning behind Disney's 1953 movie Peter Pan, we must first look at a couple of Disney's earliest short animations before any of the Disney movies were made. One of the earliest shorts was from 1930 called Playful Pan and it featured the forest god of nature, the satyr Pan, as a pied piper luring sparks of fire.
A few years later in 1933 Disney made another short animation, The Pied Piper, where a pied piper lures children (children of god, sparks of light?) through a portal into a giant rock.
The story of Peter Pan is quite possibly the single, most important metaphor for understanding our relationship to nature and what lies after death. Peter Pan symbolizes Pan, the horned god of nature that pagans and wiccans worship as the Lord (along with the goddess or Lady). Pan has been associated with the Devil.
Peter Pan is the pied piper who lures children to Neverland with the siren windsong of nature (and the magic pixie dust of DMT) to join his (frequency) band of lost boys. Pan is a playful trickster. Peter Pan means "father all" and was called the "Great White Father" in the book, and the white light is indeed all colored frequencies combined. Pan elicits fear and panic at the prospect of ego death. We should never be afraid, but perhaps there is good reason to be at least concerned as there may be a big difference between the loss of the shadow self or ego, and losing one's Spirit to merge with the All.
Peter Pan is one of the world's most beloved stories. "To die will be an awfully big adventure." has emerged as probably its most well-known line. The story has spun off many Disney remakes as well as other takes on the tale. In the original play written by J.M.Barrie, Peter kidnapped boys and killed off some from time to time. Peter is frequently referred to as 'Pan' throughout and resembles the greek god of the forest and chaos, Pan. He is a fun-loving spirit that lives in nature, is clad in green leaves, has pointed ears and plays the panpipes.
Disney made Pan into a hero and savior. It's the story of a boy who never wants to grow up and with the help of fairy and magic pixie dust Peter is able to fly and takes children, called Lost Boys, to another world called Neverland where their dreams can become true.
Hook became the first official release in almost fifty years. Peter (played by Robin Williams) sees the light of Tinker Bell the fairy, becomes scared, calls her a firefly from hell and thinks he has died exclaiming, "I'm dying. Heading towards the white light." Later, he instructs the Lost Boys who are fighting off pirates to "show them the white light we're made of, boys". In the mini-series Neverland, Peter is a thief in Hook's gang. They are taken to Neverland where an indian girl named Aaya knows all the secrets about the magic pixie dust mineral found in the tree spirit colony that enables one to fly. Aaya and the magic pixie dust mineral are almost certainly a reference to Ayahuasca, named Aya by its partakers, that takes the experiencer to a dimension of hyperspace where elves, fairies and other entities are encountered.
In Pan, the Fairy Kingdom is a fairy hive in a crystal city. In the popular Once Upon a Time television series Pan is the villain the Pied Piper (as I suggested about a year before the show). He seeks the heart of the truest believer so that he might convince him to sacrifice it to him.
In the movie The Pied Piper, the Piper with his beautiful flute playing lures all the rats out of the town to drown in the river. Then he leads all the children of the townspeople out of town with his music.
In The Wind in the Willows, the main character is lured by the haunting melody of the dream-song or wind-song of a giant spirit, Pan, that is called the piper at the gates of dawn.
In the movie The Lost Boys, the lost boys are a clan of vampires who seduce the protagonist into becoming one of them.
In Pan's Labyrinth, a giant faun needs the blood of an innocent to be sacrificed while a portal is open during the full moon.
In Legend, the Lord of Darkness is a horned being who resides in the Great Tree. He says in the beginning there was a Void and the perfect void was corrupted by light. The protagonist vows to "bring light to darkness".
The film The Lawnmower Man is based on a screenplay named Cyber God. The main character and title of the movie were based on the one in Stephen King's short story. In King's short story the owner of the company that employs the lawnmower man is named Pan. In the movie the lawnmower man becomes addicted to playing a virtual reality game.
The Doctor Who television series aired a 4-part story named The Moonbase where a race of cybermen have a base on the dark side of the moon. A cyberman named 'The Piper' comes to take men when they're dying, fit them with metal headpieces and alter or "convert" them to control their minds to generate a vortex (tunnel). The phantom Piper carries a pipe which he uses as a weapon.
In H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu lore as it's known in the Mythos, "the Outer Gods are ruled by Azathoth, the 'Blind Idiot God', who holds court at the center of infinity. A group of Outer Gods dance rhythmically around Azathoth, in cadence to the piping of a demonic flute".
Mozart's The Magic Flute was the Eyes Wide Shut of its time. Mozart was a Master Mason and at the age of 35 died three months after the show's premiere. He incorportated some of the freemasonic rituals into the opera including blindfolded initiates and a secret brotherhood of Isis and Osiris.
That is a brief overview of each film. For further details read the extensive article. Pan loves the story telling and being a part of the story and the thrill of the wonderful adventures. He never wants to grow up and yearns for immortality. It is oft repeated in every story that everything is a game to Peter in which he frequently "switches sides just for the fun of it". In the article I detail how the sweet alluring song the piper Pan (who abducts the Lost Boys and takes them to another dimension called Neverland where dreams become reality) plays is really the story of the afterlife as seen in near death experiences and the tunnel or pipe that leads to the white light where there is a crystal city and a connected hive mind mentality.
The pied Piper Pan pipes pips/peeps per his pipe to pop them for pep.
The Lion King - The first few minutes of the movie include an offering to the sun.
The Recruit - CIA trainer, Al Pacino, emphasizes, "Nothing is what it seems!" Note the special training facility at Langley is called 'The Farm' and the CIA logo is a star compass.
Shrek - Lovable ogre Shrek has been wounded by an arrow and his gregarious donkey companion, fretting death, pleads, "Don't die, Shrek. And if you see a long tunnel, stay away from the light!"
There's Something About Mary - An attempt to resuscitate a swooned dog is made. "Stay away from the light!" Yes, there is some 'thing' about Mary, i.e. an entity around Isis, the moon.
Chronicles of Riddick - "In this verse (Helion), humans have been fractured, divided by all their many races, creeds and mistaken faiths. Our purpose is to correct that mistake because there is another verse, another universe that he has found, where anyone can live anew, where you can live free of pain -- a perfect new place called 'Underverse'..."
Stargate - "A traveler from distance stars escaped from a dying world looking for a way to extend his own life. Plotting, decaying and weak, he couldn't prevent his own demise. Apparently his whole species was becoming extinct. So he traveled, searched, the galaxies looking for a way to cheat death. He came to a world rich with life where he encountered a primitive race -- humans, a species which with all his powers and knowledge, he could maintain indefiniety. He realized within a human body he had a chance for a new life. Now he aparently found a young boy. As the frightened voyagers ran, night became day. Curious and without fear, he walked towards the light. Ra took him and possessed his body like some kind of a parasite looking for a host. And inhabiting this human form, he appointed himself ruler. He used the stargate to bring thousands of workers here to this planet as workers for the mines. This mineral is clearly the building block of all his technology. With this he can sustain eternal life..."
Atlantis - Power Source - "The crystal is alive somehow. It's their deity. It's their power source. They're a part of it. It's a part of them..."
Atlantis - "The crystal thrives on the collective emotions of all who came before us. In return it provides power, longevity, protection. As it grew, it developed a consciousness of its own... but its power grew too great to control. It overwhelmed us and led to our destruction... If she remains bonded to the crystal, she could be lost to it forever."
The Star Trek The Original Series 2-part episode, The Menagerie, was reworked fom the show's actual 1965 pilot epsiode named The Cage. The Menagerie was aired in November of 1966. A group of small telepathic aliens very reminiscent of the little grey aliens that dominate today's commercial market, hold Captain Pike a prisoner. The Star trek series, of course, went on to be a huge success.
In a rare interview on the paranormal radio show Coast to Coast A.M. Art Bell interviewed Leonard Nimoy who played the alien character Spock. Leonard Nimoy told him, "When we were making the Star Trek series the first season -- middle of the first season -- some people came to me and they said, 'You may not know it, but you have been chosen as a kind of a vessel to carry informatin to this civilization to help prepare this society for the coming of another civilization for alien arrival and your character is a character designed to educate this public that there is nothing to fear, that it is possible to interact with other species', and I said, 'Ok, it's ok with me if that's the case.' "
These inorganic alien beings depicted in the pilot show are actually mentioned in the ancient Nag Hammadi gnostic texts and are referred to as Archons which are mind parasites. Yes, the Archons "are cons". Researcher John Lash has written extensively about them.
PIKE: Can you hear me? My name is Christopher Pike, commander of the space vehicle Enterprise from a stellar group at the other end of this galaxy. Our intentions are peaceful. Can you understand me?
(the aliens communicate with their minds, not voices)
TALOSIAN: It appears, Magistrate, that the intelligence of the specimen is shockingly limited.
MAGISTRATE: This is no surprise since his vessel was baited here so easily with a simulated message. As you can read in its thoughts, it is only now beginning to suspect that the survivors and encampment were a simple illusion we placed in their minds.
PIKE: You're not speaking, yet I hear you.
MAGISTRATE: You will note the confusion as it reads our thought transmissions.
PIKE: All right, then, telepathy. You can read my mind. I can read yours. Now, unless you want my ship to consider capturing me an unfriendly act
MAGISTRATE: You now see the primitive fear/threat reaction. The specimen is about to boast of his strength, the weaponry of his vessel, and so on. Next, frustrated into a need to display physical prowess, the creature will throw himself against the transparency.
PIKE: If you were in here, wouldn't you test the strength of these walls, too? There's a way out of any cage, and I'll find it.
MAGISTRATE: Despite its frustration, the creature appears more adaptable than our specimens from other planets. We can soon begin the experiment.
[Briefing room]
SPOCK: The inhabitants of this planet must live deep underground, probably manufacture food and other needs down there. Our tests indicate the planet surface, without considerably more vegetation or some animals, simply too barren to support life.
NUMBER ONE: So we just thought we saw survivors there.
SPOCK: Exactly. An illusion placed in our minds by this planet's inhabitants.
BOYCE: It was a perfect illusion. They had us seeing just what we wanted to see, human beings who'd survived with dignity and bravery, everything entirely logical, right down to the building of the camp, the tattered clothing, everything. Now let's be sure we understand the danger of this. The inhabitants of this planet can read our minds, they can create illusions out of a person's own thoughts, memories, and experiences, even out of a person's own desires. Illusions just as real and solid as this table top and just as impossible to ignore.
-------------------
BOYCE: Maybe it was. It's what I tried to explain in the briefing room. Their power of illusion is so great, we can't be sure of anything we do, anything we see.
-----------------
VINA: They can't actually make you do anything you don't want to do.
PIKE: But they try to trick me with their illusions.
VINA: And, er, they can punish you when you're not co-operative. You'll find out about that.
PIKE: Did they ever live on the surface of this planet? Why did they go underground?
VINA: War, thousands of centuries ago.
PIKE: That's why it's so barren up there?
VINA; The planet's only now becoming able to support life again.
PIKE: So the Talosians who came underground found life limited here and they concentrated on developing their mental power.
VINA: But they found it's a trap, like a narcotic, because when dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating. You even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit, living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought record.
PIKE: Or sit probing minds of zoo specimens like me.
VINA: You're better than a theatre to them. They create the illusion for you, they watch you react, feel your emotions. They have a whole collection of specimens, descendants of life brought back long ago from all over this part of the galaxy.
------------
PIKE: You'll find my thoughts more interesting, thoughts so primitive you can't understand. Emotions so (stricken by pain)
KEEPER: Wrong thinking is punishable. Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded. You will find it an effective combination. (leaves)
-----------------
KIRK: You keep talking about life, Mister Spock. A chance for life. How? As a prisoner, caged, a zoo specimen, living the illusions that amuse his keepers?
[Street]
(One of the robed figures reaches Sulu and points his hollow stave at him. Sulu stiffens, then relaxes with a smile on his face. The transporter takes him away.)
[Transporter room]
SULU: They're wonderful. They're the sweetest, friendliest people in the universe. It's paradise, my friend. Paradise.
[Street]
(A man walks slowly past them, hand on his heart and smile on his face. He bows politely and carries on his way.)
SPOCK: Odd. The expression on that man's face. The mindlessness. Vacant contentment.
LAWGIVER: You attacked the Body. You have heard the Word and disobeyed. You will be absorbed.
LAWGIVER: It is clear that you simply did not understand. I will re-phrase. You are ordered to accompany us to the absorption chambers.
[Chamber]
(Reger leads them into a building made of massive stones. He goes over to a corner and unwraps a flat panel, which gives off light.)
KIRK: A lighting panel.
KIRK: Those staffs. Hollow tubes. Antennae for some sort of broadcast power. What is it, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Strong power generations, Captain. Near here, but radiating in all directions.
REGER: I don't know, Captain. Some of us escape the directives. Not many, but a few. It was that way when the first Archons came.
KIRK: The Archons. Tell me about them.
REGER: They had invaded the Body, but they resisted the will of Landru. You see, Landru had pulled them down from the skies.
(The image of a tall, elegant man draped in robes appears against a wall.)
LANDRU: I am Landru.
SPOCK: Projection, Captain. Unreal.
LANDRU: You will be absorbed. Your individuality will merge into the unity of the good, and in your submergence into the common being of the Body, you will find contentment and fulfillment. You will experience the absolute good.
LAWGIVER: Come.
(Kirk leaves with the Lawgivers.)
SPOCK: Doctor McCoy, what will happen to him?
MCCOY: He goes to joy, peace, and tranquillity. He goes to meet Landru. Happiness is to all of us, blessed by Landru.
[Absorption Chamber]
(Kirk is released and greets Spock with an inane smile on his face.)
KIRK: Joy to you, friend. Peace and contentment will fill you. You will know the peace of Landru.
(Kirk leaves, and Spock is fastened to the wall for his treatment. The lights waver as the Lawgivers leave Marplon to his work.)
MARPLON: Have no fear, friend. The effect is harmless. My name is Marplon. I was too late to save your first two friends. They have been absorbed. Beware of them.
[Prison]
SPOCK: Captain.
KIRK: Peace and tranquility to you. (in a whisper) Are you all right?
SPOCK: This is a soulless society, Captain. It has no spirit, no spark. All is indeed peace and tranquillity. The peace of the factory, the tranquillity of the machine. All parts working in unison.
[Hall of Audiences]
KIRK: Landru! Landru. We are the Archons. We are the Archons. We've come to speak. We are the Archons. We want to talk to you.
(The projection appears on the far wall.)
LANDRU: All who saw you, all who know of your presence here must be excised. The memory of the Body will be cleansed.
KIRK: Listen to me.
SPOCK: Useless, Captain. A projection.
KIRK: Yes, Mister Spock. Let's have a look at the projector.
(They both use their phasers to blast a hole in the wall. As expected, there are nice clean big computer boxes in a room beyond. Lights are flashing and blinking, blinking and flashing.)
KIRK: Of course. It had to be. Landru.
SPOCK: A machine. This whole society is a machine's concept of perfection. Peace, harmony.
KIRK: But no soul.
So,,, the Archons are given orders by a computer / machine with a lighting panel and humans are taken to absorption chambers and come back in a blissful trance (just like NDErs) repeating mantra like phrases like "peace and tranquility" and act as one (the Body)... it's also interesting to note they treat Kirk and crew as if THEY are a virus that is invading the body (when in reality the Archons are like parasites that invade the mind).
[a weird swirl of light hangs in the air a little way away.]
KIRK: Scotty. What's happening to us? We've been trained to think in other terms than war. We've been trained to fight its causes, if necessary. Then why are we behaving like a group of savages? Look at me. Look at me. Two forces aboard this ship, each of them equally armed. Has a war been staged for us, complete with weapons and ideology and patriotic drum beating? Even, Spock, even race hatred? SPOCK: Recent events would seem to be directed toward a magnification of the basic hostilities between humans and Klingons. Apparently, it is by design that we fight. We seem to be pawns. KIRK: But what's the game? And whose? And what are the rules? SPOCK: It would appear that the entity wants us alive. KIRK: Why? So we can fight, and fight, and keep coming back for more like some bloody coliseum? What's next, the roar of crowds? SPOCK: Fascinating. During Lieutenant Johnson's emotional outburst, his expression of hatred and lust for vengeance, the alien's life energy level increased. When the Lieutenant became unconscious, the alien lost energy. KIRK: It subsists on the emotions of others. SPOCK: This one appears to be strengthened by mental irradiations of hostility, violent intentions. KIRK: It exists on the hate of others. SPOCK: To put it simply. And it has acted as a catalyst, creating this situation in order to satisfy that need. It has brought together opposing forces, provided crude instruments in an effort to promote the most violent mode of conflict. KIRK: And kept numbers and resources balanced, so that it can maintain a constant state of violence. It's got to have a vulnerable area. We've got to get rid of it. SPOCK: Then all hostile attitudes on board must be eliminated. The fighting must end and soon. KIRK: Or we're a doomed ship, travelling forever between galaxies, filled with eternal bloodlust, eternal warfare. (The weird light is glowing blood red.) KIRK: Look! Look, Kang. For the rest of our lives. A thousand lifetimes. Senseless violence, fighting, while an alien has total control over us. (Kirk throws away his sword.) KIRK: All right. All right. In the heart. In the head. I won't stay dead. Next time I'll do the same to you. I'll kill you. And it goes on, the good old game of war, pawn against pawn! Stopping the bad guys. While somewhere, something sits back and laughs and starts it all over again. SPOCK: The cessation of violence appears to have weakened it, Captain. I suggest that good spirits might make an effective weapon. KIRK: Get off my ship. You're a dead duck here. You're powerless. We know about you, and we don't want to play. Maybe there are others like you around. Maybe you've caused a lot of suffering, a lot of history, but that's all over. We'll be on guard now, ready for you. So ship out! Come on! Haul it! MCCOY: Yeah, out already. KANG: Out! We need no urging to hate humans. But for the present, only a fool fights in a burning house. Out! (To the sound of laughter, the weird light turns to white and leaves the Enterprise.)
Ray Bradberry, creator of the Star Trek original series, is rumored to have been a 33rd degree freemason. What this episode describes is precisely what the Gnostics wrote and I believe is happening right now on Earth. There are entities which the Gnostics called Archons that can manipulaste our minds and emotions in order ro feed off of our energy, except I think they are more like shadow beings like shown in the movie "Spirited Away" than the swirling light that was depicted.
According to IMDB, "The Enterprise is sent to investigate the disruption of the Gamma VII-A solar system and the destruction of the U.S.S. Intrepid, staffed solely by Vulcans. When they arrive they find a large dark mass floating in space that is draining energy from everything around it, including the Enterprise. Drawn into the mass, they find a huge amoeba-like creature and Kirk must decide which of his two friends, McCoy or Spock, to send into it aboard a shuttle craft on a mission of no return. "
KARR: Sit down and play the game. In this setting, we have no ships. We are an ancient race of soldiers intent upon conquering this world. Play the game
TURANJ: I've become impatient. We penetrated this vessel, overcame their defences, and in the moment of the kill, you forced us to stop. Now we play these incessant games. It's time we took our trophies and moved on.
KARR: Your lust for the kill has blinded you, like many young hunters. If you took the time to study your prey, to understand its behaviour, you might learn something.
KARR: The Hunt will always continue, but in a new way. I intend to transform this ship into a vast simulation, populated with a varied and endless supply of prey.
JANEWAY: Oh, I understand what you're trying to do, but then why have you been torturing us? Why have you thrown my crew into one brutal simulation after another?
KARR: I've been studying your behaviour, as I do with all my prey. But your holodecks allowed me to go further, to explore your culture, your history. I must admit, I've learned a great deal.
TURANJ: I am tired of this simulation... And these holograms are becoming annoying as well...
KAPITAN: I don't know how much longer I can stand being trapped in here.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek Voyager episodes, the crew of the Enterprise encountered a fierce predator that was known as the Borg. The Borg was a collective that operated with a hive mind. Their mission was to assimilate any and all life forms that could contribute unique qualities in order to make the Collective more perfect. This very closely parallels what near death experiencers claim with the exception that NDErs feel an immense Love for the Being of Light. With the Borg, they were neither deceptive nor Light, but their goal was to assimilate souls into their Collective. Many near death experiencers do report that the Light is a collective soul comprised of millions of souls. Often times the Borg would ignore a lesser life form if they did not have anything worth offering to the Collective. Likewise, near death experiencers are sent back to Earth because they have more lessons to learn or a mission yet to complete. The idea of a collective unconscious was posited by physchologist Carl JJung. Peter Russell also talked about a Global Brain. Hive minds can be seen in nature with bee and ant colonies. Also, school of fish and flocks of birds sometimes move in formation. In many way, individuals in society are encouraged to act in groups. Indeed, we have broken the world into many nations and states. There are enormous religious denominations and political affiliations. Recently, there has been a growing movement towards implementing a one world order. Transhumanists often speak of the coming Singularity. The Borg, similar to ants and bees, had a ruling queen and worker drones. Their message: "WE ARE THE BORG. LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND SURRENDER YOUR SHIPS. WE WILL ADD YOUR BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR CULTURE WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. "
The Borg Queen from Star Trek First Contact movie. The inorganic Borg cyborgs assimilate other species into their collective hive consciousness. "Resistance is futile."
The human race has been taken over by small parasitic aliens called "Souls". The Souls travel to distant planets inserting themselves individually into a host body of that planet's dominant species. They are able to access the host's memories, and occupied hosts are identifiable by silver rings that form in the hosts' eyes.
SEEKER REED: We have put you through enough. Your host appears too resistant. You are going to be re-implanted into a more compliant host. I know you must have seen a lot, but you ain't seen nothing like this. WANDERER: Nothing. Same way the magicians do it. Mirrors. Then I started thinking, when they put one of you in our heads, do we still exist? Trapped in there? If our memories are still alive, are we? You gotta believe some people wouldn't go down without a fight.
This 1978 movie popularized the phrase "pod people". It starred Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy and Jeff Goldblum. Spores from outer space came to Earth and infiltrated the human population through flowers...the flowers were white and looked like crysanthemums.
"... some weird alien organism, a mutation of some kind. Why should they take the form of people--of us? I don't know. Whatever it is whatever intelligence or instinct it is that can govern the forming of human flesh and blood out of thin air is, well, it's fantastically powerful beyond any comprehension, malignant. All that body in your cellar needed was a mind, and it was... And it was taking mine while I was asleep."
"Seeds drifting through space for years took root in a farmer's field. From the seeds came pods which had the power to reproduce themselves in the exact likeness of any form of life. So that's how it began... out of the sky. Your new bodies are growing in there. They're taking you over cell for cell, atom for atom. There's no pain. Suddenly, while you're asleep they'll absorb your minds, your memories and you're reborn into an untroubled world. Where everyone's the same? Exactly. What a world. We're not the last humans left. They'll destroy you! Tomorrow, you won't want them to. Tomorrow, you'll be one of us. I love Becky. Tomorrow, will I feel the same? There's no need for love. No emotion? Then you have no feelings, only the instinct to survive."
The movie featured a sort of a hive mind zombie-like infection where a clone of the human was first made in a pod. The poster above shows a vorticular light in space:
According to Orlin, ascended beings can be empowered by massive numbers of humans worshipping them. The Ori fabricated an entire religion, Origin, based on the false promise of ascension in order to take power from their followers. The Ancients refrain from interfering in the lower planes of existence because manipulating and aligning lower life forms could result in exactly this type of corruption.[11] According to the Ancient Myrddin, the Ori had the best intentions when they began.[17] Even after the Ori were destroyed, their followers and Priors continued acting in their name to oppress thousands of people since, for the most part, they were ignorant to the demise of their "Gods".
The Ori impose a religion called Origin on sentient beings, promising a guide towards enlightenment that is also known in the series as Ascension.[8] The faith comes with a holy book called The Book of Origin, and the Priors spread the Word of Origin. The Book of Origin contains tales of how the followers of the Ori returned to the path to enlightenment, and thus achieved Ascension, although some skeptics consider these merely "fables meant to fill a soul bereft of hope with purpose".[11] Several lines from the Book of Origin, or otherwise repeated mantras, are heard on the show. These include variations of "Hallowed are the Ori". The central icon of this religion is fire, something that gives off light and warmth.[2] The fact that on Earth this icon has some evil or Satanic associations in many modern religions prompted Daniel to posit that the Ancients had influenced this negative connotation in order to identify the threat the Ori pose. Among the populations of natives in the Ori home galaxy are groups of heretics who believe they are being suppressed, and seek to discover forbidden historical knowledge to show others that the Ori, despite their power, are not gods.
Some interesting Stargate Atlantis episodes:
1.01 "Rising Parts 1 And 2"
When SG-1 discovers what they believe to be the remnants of the Lost City of the Ancients — the originators of the Stargates — Stargate Command launches an investigation. A new team of explorers, headed by civilian Dr. Elizabeth Weir, travels to the distant Pegasus Galaxy, where they discover an advanced but deserted city on the ocean floor, a group of nomadic humans, and a deadly enemy that feeds on humans as an energy source!
An alien presence is hidden in the craters on the back/dark side of the moon.
IMDB Storyline: "When a faun named Mune becomes the Guardian of the Moon, little did he had unprepared experience with the Moon and an accident that could put both the Moon and the Sun in danger, including a corrupt titan named Necross who wants the Sun for himself and placing the balance of night and day in great peril. Now with the help of a wax-child named Glim and the warrior, Sohone who also became the Sun Guardian, they go out on an exciting journey to get the Sun back and restore the Moon to their rightful place in the sky."
The original Guardian of the Sun is a blind lizard who passes his power on to a young, strong, male with a lion's face and long, white hair down his back who says he has the "perfect tan". This perfectly mirrors the Gnostic description of the Demiurge. My friend who met the Demiurge during his near death experience described him as being strong with long, white hair and a bronze complexion. The Gnostic texts described the Demiurge as having a lion's face and the body of a serpent, and called him the "blind god".
In Mune: Guardian of the Moon, the evil moon god wannabe who has eyes of fire and lightning wants to steal the sun and he lets loose serpents of light. They said the moon was created in the "world of dreams" and brought here through a "trap door". Perhaps the world of dreams is an allusion to the astral plane and the trap door a reference to the tunnel.
The dark lord of the Underworld, Necross, has stolen the sun so they dive down into a blue hole and are underwater... an anglerfish named Phosphos says he used to be Guardian of the Moon. Phosphoros is a Greek name meaning "Light-Bringer" and was the morning star, Venus, and corresponds to the Latin, Lucifer. An anglerfish is a real fish that feeds on its prey by using a light for bait.
In the world of dreams they experience nightmares which take the form of shadow being monsters.
The Lord of the Underworld originally was perhaps symbolic of the Egyptian God of the Underworld, Osiris, the Green Man, but as lord of the underworld he resembles something more like a black sun.
The LEGO Movie is full of Gnostic symbolism.
The wizard at the beginning named Vitruvius with the long white hair, bronze skin and hypnotic, lightning eyes, a robe, and a staff with a transparent blue crystal and later a green one in the shape of the Moon Stones. he is a dead ringer for the Demiurge (false god), at least the one my friend encountered in his NDE. He is also blind just as the Demiurge is in gnostic texts. He tells Emmet he is The Special and that with the help of the strange piece he found he will save the world.
Emmet a.k.a. The Special is a normal average blank guy (not a master builder) but is really everyone. At first the Special just follows all the rules and obeys instructions to fit in, listens to pop music, watches dumb tv shows and thinks "everything is awesome" when you're part of a team, when you're living your dream but even thinks a cup of coffee that is $37 is awesome. The Special seems to fall down into Hell, touches a strange piece which is the Piece of Resistance, is caught and interrogated by Bad Cop. They lie and tell him he will live so he won't try to escape, but they plan on taking him to the Melting Chamber to melt him. He is rescued by master builder Lucy aka Wyldstyle who he is enamored with. Later the wizard and Lucy enter his mind to prove he can be a master builder. His mind is empty which enables him to have a vision of the Man Upstairs.
Lord Business (the Man Upstairs), the President of Octan whose office is a giant tower wants everyone to follow the rules or they'll get put to sleep. He has his "eye" on them all the time. He has red horns and captures all the fallen master builders, puts them in pods hooked up to a battery, tortures them and harnesses their ideas in a think tank. Collectively, they come up with all the instructions that run the world.
All the people of the universe were once free to mingle and travel and build, but Lord Business was confused by Chaos and put walls between all the worlds, became obsessed with order and perfection, and stole the kragle (krazy glue) which has a tentacle arm that causes everyone to get stuck together and prevents them from building things with their ideas. It's a machine to control the universe.
Lord Business uses a good-cop, bad cop routine and has a robot army (AI).
The demiurge looking guy takes them through the sun, they ascend an upward arcing rainbow (which is similar to the nde tunnel) to Cloud Cuckoo Land (many NDErs speak of clouds, mis, .etc.)....he knocks on the door and they go into a bright white light....Cloud Cuckoo Land is said to have no negativity, no unhappiness just like the astral light in NDES... the fellow master builders are gathered in the Dog (which is 'god' spelled backwards).... Bad Cop comes after them and they escape by going underwater.
He talks of building an army of master builders.
The uncaptured master builders such as Lucy, Batman, The Special etc are able to manifest reality instantly with their ideas and visions. Special has an idea to build a spaceship to infiltrate the tower which has a laser gate. They build one with a hyper drive.
A cubed machine blocks the light of the sun.
Even though the prophecy was made up by Vitruvius and was a placebo, it worked because Emmet believed. Once he believes he can see everything and becomes a master builder. He travels through a magic portal and saves the world. He learns that the key to true building is to believe in yourself and to follow your own set of instructions inside your head.
Babylon 5: River of Souls was a 1998 sci-fi TV movie was about soul hunters that collect the souls of interesting souls at death to "save" them from extinction. The souls from the planet were just about to evolve to the next level where they no longer needed physical bodies but would be pure energy, except the soul hunters captured them and "preserved" them for 10,000 years. A billion souls the soul hunters had accumulated were put in a glass sphere that looked like a sun. It contained the souls' collective memories, thoughts and personalities, and they were stored in what was called the Great Hall. In NDE lore that is called the akashic records or the hall of records. Maybe when the soul is stolen or merges with the light its memories are taken and put in the akashic records, which may or may not be equivalent to the astral sun.
Here is an excerpt of dialogue from the movie: "That's a Soul Hunter. The story is they travel all over the place, capturing the souls of important people right at the moment of death... "
Soul Hunter: " For we are drawn to death, to the moment of passage for the purpose of defeating death. We capture those rare souls. The poets and philosophers, the artists, the leaders. We collect them all. We are drawn by the smell of death. The passing of the physical form is like a beacon to us... and we decided that we would save them all."
" An entire world of souls claimed at the instant of death. If these minds, souls, whatever... They've been imprisoned for 1000 years... I think you've just described hell as well as anything I've ever heard. "
Soul Hunter: "You don't understand because you are trapped in a prison of your own flesh. The flesh has desires. The flesh has needs. But the soul is pure. The soul needs only to continue, to be."
"We know from the Vorlons and others that when a race evolves beyond a certain point they no longer need a physical body. They evolve past that point and become beings of pure energy. Your people were drawn to Ralga because you felt the imminent passing of their physical bodies. But they weren't dying. They weren't about to die. They were about to leave behind their physical bodies and evolve to the next level. It should've been their greatest moment, the pinnacle in the evolution of any race. And just as it happened, just as they became transcendent, you took them. You took them and you stuck them inside a piece of glass for 10,000 years. You made a mistake. Those are living souls in there, cut off in their prime. Trapped, when they should've been exploring the universe. Half of them have gone mad and the ones who've held on can't control them anymore."
In the television series Babylon 5, the main character, the human John Sheridan, is under the care of the Minbari who are ruled by a "Grey Council". The nine members of the council stand in circle, their backs to the darkness and their face to the light, so as to stand in "the Grey".
"I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star."
"We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light."
– Grey Council greeting
The Greys are at war with the Shadow race. There is also a Praying Mantis crime lord in the first season.
In last episode "Sleeping in Light", John is waiting for death on his station/ship The White Star which is filled with light and he is told by Lorien, a First One, he was never forgotten by The First Ones, a race more ancient than the Minbari, and he is taken out of the galaxy into the void (I think).
There are so many Gnostic overtones and awakening within a constructed reality. The robots are humans in the scenario, meaning they are kept repeating roles and are wiped each time they die. In Westworld every host's life is scripted but some hosts were programmed to remember and break out or expose the truth.
Some quotes from episodes:
#4 "I think there may be something wrong with this world. Something hiding underneath. Either that or... or there's something wrong with me. I may be losing my mind. There's something I'd like you to try. It's a game. A secret. It's called... the Maze. What kind of game is it? It's a very special kind of game, Dolores. The goal is to find the center of it. If you can do that, then maybe you can be free. I think... I think I want to be free."
#6
"The maze is an old native myth. Regale me, Theodore. The maze itself is the sum of a man's life... Choices he makes, dreams he hangs on to. And there at the center, there's a legendary man who had been killed over and over again countless times, but always clawed his way back to life. The man returned for the last time and vanquished all his oppressors in a tireless fury. He built a house. Around that house he built a maze so complicated, only he could navigate through it."
#8
"And that was when the maze revealed itself to me. The maze. What's that damn pattern have to do with this? Everything. In Ford's game, even if I go to the outer edges, you can't kill me. You can't even leave a lasting mark. But there's a deeper game here, Teddy. Arnold's game. And that game... cuts deep."
#9
"I died with my eyes open, saw the masters who pull our strings.
Our lives, our memories, our deaths are games to them.
But I've been to hell and I know their tricks."

"We are your guardians-no more. Often you must have wondered what position my race held in the hierarchy of the universe. As we are above you, so there is something above us, using us for its own purposes. We have never discovered what it is, though we have been its tool for ages and dare not disobey it. Again and again we have received our orders, have gone to some world in the early flower of its civilization, and have guided it along the road that we can never follow the road that you are travelling now. "Again and again we have studied the process we have been sent to foster, hoping that we might learn to escape from our own limitations. But we have glimpsed only the vague outlines of the truth. You called us the Overlords, not knowing the irony of that title. Let us say that above us is the Over-mind, using us as the potter uses his wheel. "And your race is the clay that is being shaped on that" wheel. "We believe-it is only a theory-that the Overmind Is trying to grow, to extend its powers and its awareness of the universe. By now it must be the sum of many races, and long ago it left the tyranny of matter behind. It is conscious of intelligence, everywhere. When it knew that you were almost ready, it sent us here to do its bidding, to prepare you for the transformation that is now at hand.
"All the earlier changes your race has known took countless ages. But this is a transformation of the mind, not of the body. By the standards of evolution, it will be cataclysmic-instantaneous. It has already begun. You must face this fact: yours is the last generation of Homo sapiens. "As to the nature of that change, we can tell you very little. We do not know how it is produced-what trigger impulse the Overmind employs when it judges that the time is ripe. All we have discovered is that it starts with a single individual- always a ~child-and then spreads explosively, like the formation of crystals round the first nucleus in a saturated solution. Adults will not be affected, for their minds are already set in an unalterable mould. "In a few years, it will all be over, and the human race will have divided in twain. There is no way back, and no future for the world you know. All the hopes and dreams of your race are ended now. You have given birth to your successors, and it is your tragedy that you will never understand them-will never even be able to communicate with their minds. Indeed, they will not possess minds as you know them. They will be a single entity, as you yourselves are the sums of your myriad cells. You will not think them human, and you will be right.
"And then-what am I to do with you, the survivors, when your purpose has been fufilled? It would be simplest, perhaps, and most merciful, to destroy you-as you yourselves would destroy a mortally wounded pet you loved. But this I cannot do. Your future will be your own to choose in the years that are left to you. It is my hope that humanity will go to its rest in peace, knowing that it has not lived in vain.
ANALYSIS OF CHILDHOOD'S END
The movie Childhood's End was based on the book by Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: a Space Odyssey. As with that book Childhood's End also deals with aliens and the future evolution of mankind into a potentially different form.
The movie preaches that everything good must come to an end and forewarns or predicts the elimination of mankind as a species and the destruction of Earth itself while our children exist in the future as the pure consciousness of the Overmind.
I can't really do analysis of programming in Hollywood movies without mentioning Disney. Of course, there is The Sorceror's Apprentice where Mickey Mouse is dressed up as the wizard's apprentice with a wizard's hat and robe and magic wand. And then there is the constant reinforcement of the Princess motif which perpetuaates the idea of monarchical rule, but also gives young girls an entitlement and the unrealistic dream of being rescued by a handsome, young Prince, Pince Charming, who will enable her to be Queen herself one day. But I would like to focus on one movie in particular and that is Peter Pan. I believe it contains much symbolism for the afterlife. In fact, one of the most famous quotes from the movie is "To Die Will Be An Awfully Big Adventure (Peter Pan)".
Pan, the Devil, plays a tune on his pan pipes. The Pied Piper is a many-colored Piper -- that's what pied means, many-colored -- and leads the children (of god) with his pipe (nde tunnel) into the rock / mountain (moon is a rock). And why the name "Peter Pan"? Petr means rock (moon?), also fuel (energy source) and Pan means "all" which would be "all" frequencies combined: white. The Devil is known to use a "pitch" fork to goad souls to Hell. Nep-TUNE has the trident or pitchfork too. A pitch fork is a tuning fork. So you have a tune or note/frequency and you have a fork which is a many pronged instrument. Think of a fork with seven rays of light or seven prongs and like a fork they all funnel into one like the handle on the fork we eat with, The trident or three-pronged pitchfork may symbolize the three colors red-green-blue since our eyes have three color receptors and all the colors of the rainbow can be made with those three colors. So all the different colors of souls funnel through the tunnel or tune-l into the band of white light which is all frequencies combined. Since it's all combined it would resonate with every single color or frequency of souls... the light is electromagnetic so there could be magnetic resonance like in an MRI. In the television mini-series named "Neverland" Peter plays his pipe and a huge tunnel opens up. There are literally dozens and dozens of accounts of near death experiencers who report going through a pipe or tunnel, hearing music or tones while in it, experiencing swirling colors and feeling a wind as they emerge into the white light, which is the combination of ALL colors. Peter Pan could be translated as "Father All".
Disney made Pan into a cartoon character and major motion picture star with the release of their animated movie Peter Pan which looked liked the mischievious playful sylvan forest god of greek mythology. He dressed in green, had pointed ears, and possessed magical powers of a fairy such as being able to fly and he played on his pan pipes or flute, and just wanted to have fun all the time and never grow up. To help him he also had Wendy (windy), a tinker bell and a dragon or crocodile. He defeated his nemesis Captain Hook -- by the crocodile eating him in the moon. He urged the viewer to go to Neverland by following a star, the second star on the right, which very well may be an allusion to Sirius. "The second star to the right shines in the night for you to tell you that the dreams you plan really can come true. The second star to the right shines with a light so rare and if it's Never Land you need its light will lead you there." Pan played a flute or the pan pipes. Not only did the fairy tales have a piper named Peter, but in nursery rhymes there was Peter Piper who picked a peck of pickled peppers. Peppers are of the piper genus. The words are etymologically related.
Wendy's mother is named Mary, an aspect of Isis. The nurse mother for Wendy's family is Nana (moon goddess) a dog probably symbolic of Sirius, the binary or trinary dog star. Peter Pan insists the second star on the right (and then straight on til morning) will take you to Neverland. They fly past the moon, to a bell tower with an orange clock (time is 8:15, Sirius usually rises in August) representative of our sun which causes time and is a stargate. So they pass through the stargate of our Sun and then they go past a bridge (gateway, stargate, pipe) along the Milky Way river to the second star on the right which is smaller. This may very well be the dwarf companion of Sirius in the Pleaides constellation. This is the meaning of Snow White (Sirius) and the seven dwarves which are the seven sisters of the Pleiades. Peter Pan keeps calling him a "cod fish". The letter "G" evolved from "C" so it's possible "god" looked like a "cod" fish. Captain Cook while fighting Peter Pan says he is no mere mortal but a "flying devil". Peter Pan is from Sirius, the dog star, but he sails souls into the moon to reincarnate them on Earth. Peter is from Sirius but as the pagan nature god and mountain king lives in a tree underground just like the Celtic trickster moon god, Gwydion, and is associated with Celtic traditions such as the Green Man or Jack-in-the-Green. It is also interesting that there are movies such as Pan's Labyrinth that show Pan presiding over an underground labyrinth.
The Peter Pan movie begins with the narration "All this has happened before and it will all happen again." as they show a river symbolic of the Milky Way galaxy. The movie ends with the statement, "I have the strangest feeling I saw that ship a long time ago when I was very young." This is obviously referring to the cyclical notion of reincarnation or recycling of souls. [Could Robin Hood and Maid Marian of Sherwood Forest be yet another tale of Peter Pan and Mary?]
Steven Spielberg (spiel means spell, burg is german for 'rock' or mountain) directed the movie Hook starring Robin Williams as an older, "grown-up" Peter Pan. I find the image (a sphere with Tinker Bell's golden light as a lure on Captain Hook's hook) of this movie poster for Hook suggestive of the Dreamworks Pictures opening sequence of the boy fishing on the moon with his 'hook' down on the waters on Earth. One of the more memorable quotes from the movie is Peter Pan declaring, "To die will be an awfully big adventure." There is a scene where Tinkerbell who is lit up like a "firefly from hell", as Peter calls her, is pulling him toward her and he says he has died, is out of his body and is going to the light, a direct reference to the Light mentioned in near death experiences. Later Peter tells his army of soldiers called The Lost Boys, "Let's get ready to show them the white light we're made of, boys." He also has to "climb up a drain pipe" because he "ran out of fairy dust".
A reader in Hong Kong wrote to me and told me the plot of Men in Black II is all about searching for the light of Zartha, a very powerful cosmic force. The Men In Black are supposed to be protecting Earth from alien threats. They have a weapon called the Neuralizer which can blind the victim with a flash of light, wiping memories from their minds. The protagonists are attacked by worms. One worm is a 600 foot worm. The Men in Black had to hide it from the evil Serleena. Serleena is an interesting name because Selena is a goddess of the moon. Spoiler Alert: Lo, and behold, it was kept inside all along. The light was kept hidden inside Princess Lauranna, the Keeper of the Light.
"If Serleena takes the light, it's the end of our world. If we extend protection for the light beyond Earth, we put Earth in jeopardy. We must remain neutral."
"Where is the light?" "Right here." "What, I'm the Light?"... "Laura, you are the Light. The leader of your people. Their spirit and their hope. The power is within you to save a planet."
Here is a classic depiction of the demiurge:
Now here is a screenshot near the end of the movie:
Notice the similarity between a classic depiction of the demiurge and the worm/serpent in the movie.
In Men In Black 3, they talk about an archanan race. Presumably someone from Archan. Archan/Archon? Very close. Spielberg knows. Plus there is the ArcNet defense system that is built.
"Where is the Archanan?" "You are too late. He is going to give the humans the ArcNet."
Notice how the reviewers reviewed the movie Half Moon? Magical and Breathtaking. There is magic associated with the moon and it is breathtaking -- or kills you.
Roman Polanski made the movie Rosemary's Baby which was about the Devil raping and impregnating a woman. The movie poster for his movie Bitter Moon is another variation on the siren motif. An attractive woman with her legs wide open is sitting on top of a giant light which we can assume is the moon based on the name of the movie. A shipful of sailors sails underneath, presumably to their death upon the "rock".
Futurama - In this cartoon made by the creators of The Simpsons, characters are watching the TV show, The Real World. The commentator states, "This week on The Real World -- THE SUN." A man is heard screaming, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH -- I'm burning to death!" We know it is not the sun screaming because one of the characters watching the show snidely remarks in disgust, "Do you know how much an apartment that big would cost on the sun?"
So what are some things we can take away from these movies? These movies address the philosophical issues of the nature of reality, the meaning of life, alien intervention, Artificial Intelligence, the simulation theory, personal identity versus the Collective, free will vs determinism, and the afterlife.
One critically important theme is remaining an individual versus joining or merging with the Collective.
The new age movement and meditation groups etc are always telling us we need to kill the ego and basically merge our consciousness with the oneness. And near death experiencers say the white light is a collective of all our souls.
Yet in movies the Collective is always portrayed as bad.
Star Trek First Contact -- The Borg.
Star Trek Return of the Archons -- The Body
The Matrix -- all the Agent Smiths
Childhood's End -- The Overmind
Truman Show -- all his friends were collectively keeping him from realizing is true identity
The Prisoner -- the last episode The Fallout really talked about the good of the community etc but #6 escaped or was set free because of his will to remain an individual
Dark City -- they have collective memories they want to imprint on the individual
The Gnostic texts mention a higher light...and also impure light....the white light of the NDE is definitely not the higher light in my opinion........
In the Gnostic text Pistis Sophia itsays Sophia was in the 13th aeon and she desired to go to the higher light so she stopped performing her mysteries, Demiurge and the archon rulers got angry, hated her and tricked her into seeing his light and thinking it was the higher light and then captured her.....(also, he had light, he just wasn't giving/shining all of it because he desired to rule)..... that pretty well coincides with what I have been saying on the web site..... since we are so low in matter the first light we would see would still be that lower light of the Demiurge, certainly not the light of the realms above. The first lights we see are the “stolen” and “impure” light of the lower realms.
“All movies are important and they are dangerous you go into a little dark room and become vulnerable it could completely misshape you.” -- Susan Sarandon
" I know that I have demons. I don't know if I want to get rid of them altogether, but I would like to experience them in a different way." -- Johnny Depp
Dr. Eric Peper, a researcher who has studied the influence of film, feels television can be used as a training tool: "You can get to the emotional truth of things almost by sleight of hand, while people aren't really looking. It's sort of like, 'Here, look at the shiny vampire,' and behind that, there's something really raw going on." The impact that movies have on their viewers is due to the purposeful way their creators design them. Alfred Hitchcock, considered the horror film director and Master of Suspense in his day declared his intent: "The point is to draw the audience right into the situation-instead of leaving them to watch it from outside, from a distance…If you played the whole scene straight through… you would lose your power over the audience. They would watch the scene without becoming really involved in it, and you would have no means of concentrating their attention on those particular visual details which make them feel what the characters are feeling." |
Fascinatingly, filmmakers like Lucas hold little regard for their easily manipulated audiences. Lucas has openly declared: Actor Kevin Bacon, who starred in the movie HollowMan has projected characters who are homosexuals, rapists, occult initiates, liars and thieves, and attributes his successful acting to what he calls "demons under the surface, and as an actor you have to keep them bubbling." Robin Williams, funny man whose characters teach that cross dressing, homosexuality, New Age practices, humanism and "doing your own thing," is directed by a voice that speaks instructs his every move. Williams admits that a "voice will tell me either to take a role or not. And if I want to travel, that same voice lets me know whether or not the journey will be a safe one." The screenwriter for Gladiator, David Franzoni, clearly understands that we are headed back in time to Rome’s blood soaked arenas: |
