Jake Kotze reviews the basic tenets of his Synchromystic exegesis in this must-see video. Jake's muse Robin Tunney is heavily featured as is The Wizard of Oz. As Synchronicity would have it I'd been poring through some old YouTube clips of The Brady Bunch Hour (don't ask) just when Jake unleashed his new manifesto. So just like the old days, I thought I'd celebrate Jake's new vid by offering up a taste of the old school K/K flow.
As with Jake's vid, Oz is also the basis of this morsel of insanity from The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, one of the worst TV shows ever made and a show whose awfulness more often than not bordered on the psychedelic. In this mind-bending clip, Marcia plays the role of Dorothy in an inexplicable performance of Car Wash, the theme song to a 70s comedy which co-starred George Carlin.
Let's get this started then, with a eye on firsts...
• Marcia was played by Christine Taylor in The Brady Bunch Movie. Taylor also played the witches' first victim in The Craft.
• Fairuza Balk - Robin's frenemy in The Craft- made her big screen debut playing Dorothy in Return to Oz.
• Jake starts off his video with the title card from Lost. The penultimate episode of The X-Files was called 'Sunshine Days', a Gnostic parable about a telepath who uses his powers to live as part of the Brady Bunch. The telepath is played by Michael Emerson of Lost fame.
• Jake flashes to Jodie Foster right after his Synchromysticism title- Foster played a murderous hallucination on The X-Files. Foster and Anderson are close friends- Anderson was originally tapped to replace Foster as Clarice Starling in Hannibal but the part went to Julianne Moore.
• Moore played the Scully role in two other films Evolution (with David Duchovny) and The Forgotten.
• Jake shows clips from Vertical Limit, which co-starred Nicolas Lea - aka Krycek, the agent who replaced Scully on The X-Files when Anderson was pregnant.
• Lea appeared in Bad Company with Lawrence Fishburne, co-star of the first film Jake flashes to in the video.
• Jake cites Josh Hartnett as Robin Tunney's symbolic Osiris. Hartnett starred in The Faculty, a story about an alien invasion that also starred Robert Patrick, aka John "Anubis" Doggett of The X-Files. It was Hartnett's first lead role. The Faculty also featured Jon Stewart, whose next acting gig was as Gillian Anderson's love interest in Playing by Heart.
• Patrick famously played the liquid Terminator opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger (another of Jake's favorites) and also appeared in Stargate: Atlantis. Just to mess up the semiotics, Patrick is also the new voice of Hawkman.
• Christian Slater, Tunney's costar in Julian Po also read for the role of John Doggett.
• Tunney's first recurring role was Class of '96, where Gillian Anderson made her first TV appearance.
• The 9/11 "Mega-Ritual" has always been a central theme in Jake's work. The event was prefigured in the first episode of The X-Files spinoff The Lone Gunmen.
• And lastly, Jake namechecks Isis...
...and Zeus.Note- things are getting back to normal after some upheaval here- I'll be catching up with the comments today.

Just a couple of notes on The Craft. The movie was mostly concieved from fellow Wiccan Fairuza Balk's viewpoint that Neo-Paganism needed a "Morality Play" movie like those created by Christian filmakers of an earlier era. Ms. Balk felt for Wicca to be taken seriously by the movie-going public, this film needed to be made. The Craft outlined Wicca's only Commandment, "an it harm none, do what thou wilt". I've followed Robin Tunney's career for some time now, very impressed with her body of work. Her performance in The Craft has led this Wiccan High Priest to think that she's more versed in the world of occultism than Ms. Balk! Also there has been talk over the years of Tunney's projects having some serious Freemasonic Themes as noted in the film! Both Tunney and the headquarters of the Thelemic Gnostic Voudon group Ordo Templi Orientis Antiqua, and it's founder Michael Bertiaux are from Chicago. Coincidence? Oh well I might just be getting excited here?!

Hey there Chris,
I'm back online after a week of moving-house stress. Just got my wi-fi up annd running so thought I'd check in.
Just read your posts - awesome stuff as usual. Loving all the X Files linkage. And your exegesis post was exceptional. A lot of really interesting comments are made here by the readers of this blog.
I just hope we don't get too caught up in trying to convince others of the finer details of our own narratives/theories, as that can quickly lead to infighting and a lost of clarity and open-mindedness.
I think it's always useful to remember that our own perceptions of the world say just as much about US as they do about the world we think we are percieving. We can only theorise and rationalise in the contexts available to us, and the complexity of life means that no single definable context is complete - context is by its nature an ephemeral and yet inclusive thing.
There are always holes in any theory or system, but that doesn't mean such theories or systems are unworkable, non-resonant or unuseful. Science, for example. I think you'd agree that 'mainstream' science is full of holes, and yet we can see that it has given us a whole bunch of useful, resonant and workable stuff. The same goes for mysticism and metaphysics, or conspiracy research, surely?
One point I wanna make before heading out to earn a few quid is this: personal experience is the most profound barometer of truth, meaningfulness etc that we can hope to possess. Yet, that doesn't mean that all our personal experiences with the realm of the synchomystical and the divine are all strictly, literally TRUE. I hope you get my meaning here.
It's a hard thing to describe, but I've had so many bizarre spooky experiences now that I sometimes feel more schizophrenic than synchromystical - and it's been a long and difficult proccess of applying the most rigourous logic and reason to these experiences, to garner the most USE out of them.
I no longer accept stuff just because I'm an intuitive and something profound 'happened to me', because I realise that even the divine is not beyond personal contexts and interpretations. In fact, I'd say that is largely how the divine manifests itself in human experience - through the limitations and prejudices of the percieving mind.
Hope that doesn't come across as too cerebral or judgemental.
Glad to be back on the Secret Sun, dude!
Peace
Note to self: never click 'play' on one of Chris Knowles' Brady Bunch clips while sober.
Speaking of odd clips, this HOWTO Investigate a Satanic Ritual Killing one has been making the blog rounds lately for the lulz.
I can't help but take notice of the two pillars and checkerboard bikini, though: Masonic in-joke, maybe?
More evidence that the history
of man is ,"occult", in terms
of one stream of information, as
the, "historical record", being
imposed like a palimpsest on
another stream, which is hidden
from normal sight.
The ,"rabbit hole", does not
go down or up, but inside.,
which eventually leads,"out".
There is indeed an exit.
thank you for introducing me
to this person's videos.
I will do a more in depth analysis later. However I am seeing MSG (masonic-gnostic-satanic) symbolism in the new Green Lantern trailer.
There are themes of water, androgyny, "secret suns", Horus, Isis, green suns, pentacles, alien technology, and alien-human hybrids.
The movie begins with androgyny. The man Reynolds emerges from behind the woman. Woman into man. Or Isis giving birth to Horus. Reynolds tells the woman there is water for her, a reference to Isis as goddess of water. There is a yellow arrow behind Reynolds pointing upward. Possible heaven/God symbolism. This man is a God. This man belongs in the heavens. The black TV could be a monolith subliminal.
The man drives to work in an orange sun chariot. The living room's yellow arrow is repeated on the ground, pointing at Reynolds in his car. A yellow arrow saying this is the sun God? The ground also reads Keep Clear. As in keep clear and make way for the God?
The corporation he visits is called Ferris. Think of a ferris wheel as a star gate. The man comes to the Ferris/Stargate Corporation, only to be transformed and transported. In the trailer, Reynolds is a fighter pilot. Another Egyptian god reference with the plane as sky chariot.
Reynolds then has a serious plane accident. Symbolic death before resurrection . The opening parachute another possible green sun or star gate reference. The man dying, and passing through a stargate/parachute during his rebirth as god.
The trailer's WB and DC symbols are also green suns, with a downward facing satanic/Isis pentacle.
The voiceover says "There is something good out there just over the horizon". A rather probable sun worship/Horus rebirth reference.
Note how the alien is first identified as a green light parallel to the existing setting sun. This resembles the Lucifer/Jupiter/Osiris star sharing the sky of the movie 2010. The old sun is setting. A new star, a new Luciferian order is emerging in the sky.
The Green Lantern technology is of course alien in origin. And Green Lantern is asked to "become one of us". Become one of the aliens. Man merging with alien/reptile/demon, as is the case in X-Files, Twilight and so many other films.
There is of course the ring reference. Mordor-like, with the ring as a source of power and problems.
There is the movie cliche "in our darkest hour" reference. Is this a reference to the hour of Satan and the demons? A reference to the dark period at night before the rising of the sun/resurrection of Horus?
The trailer also says "There will be light". A possible MSG reference. Instead of God issuing the light as in the Bible, it is an alien-human hybrid Green Lantern issuing the light. Gnostic man or Satanic man-demon taking over or usurping the role of Yahweh. Man creating his own world or enlightenment.
We are also shown another corporate symbol of an F surrounded by Horus rings. F also being the sixth letter of the alphabet, a possible Satan 6 reference. Satan taking flight. Horus taking flight.
The voice over then says "Bright as day, black as night". A black sun reference. Since only a black sun or anti-Christ can be simultaneously bright and dark. Androgyny. A union of opposites. An Egyptian God, combining good and evil.
Thought you might be interested in this Chris. I had been watching a fairly old video about Amaury Rivera Toro's claimed abduction experience and the predictions he had seen, so he claimed holographically---one being told that there was going to be one-world government and they were floating on an island in middle of a dirty sea. I searched his name with our year date and found this: Billionaire Sea Castles, a flight for safety
Perhaps Jake or yourself could get on the trail of Thomas Veil, maybe you already are, Gemini.
Hi Chris,
Just caught this on Drudge:
NEWSWEEK cover portrays Obama as Hindu god Shiva...
Interesting times.
Pax. Kimberly
I really don't think such a nasty response was warranted. Especially since on numerous occasions I have posted very positive assessments of your work.
I just spent 45 minutes here writing and deleting logical, point by point rebuttals to what you said. However, ultimately, I am just saddened to see that the meanness which permeates this world also sometimes emerges here.
I seek refuge from the disease we have become.
Just wanted to mention that this video was made along with Jim Sanders (@syncwinnipeg on twitter). Thanks for highlighting and syncing further with it Chris.
Nancy B, I concur with Mr Knowles, all this satanic and devious interpertations are part and parcel of an agenda. If you want to scare yourself and accept death and damnation go to the alien blog by Andre, he is possessed with such tomfoolery, as the luciferian doomsday. Being an aging hippy I tend to dismiss such gloom and doom as alarmist at best. While blood courses through our veings there is hope and positive vibrations are key to our surival! Shineforth brave souls! Dennis where snow is in them there hills!
Doug- Wow, that's very interesting information indeed. I need to look a bit further into that. Jake- you reading this?
Rox- It didn't freak me out at all. I just know for a fact that your info is wrong. That sucks your hotmail got hacked- seems to be happening a lot.
Raj- Welcome back. And you got it right- I think the best thing to do with experiences is to catalog them and grade them. I found that's a good way to keep them in perspective. Not everything is significant necessarily. Thinking of mum and then having her call is just the way the world works.
Lynn- HAH! My evil plan worked!
146- Ugh. I think we need to watch people who spend too much time with this stuff closely. A lot of people who get too immersed in that material might not be getting their weirdness kicks or crusading. They get sucked into it that sickness and it can take over their psyches. Maybe they're not really trying to "expose" it- maybe they just get off on it. Maybe some of them are even trying to work up the courage to do it. There are definitely a lot of sites out there where I can tell that no matter what is being said, the bloggers get off on the imagery and transgression of it.
Pete- My pleasure.
Muzu- Yeah- fleeing to the oceans from the mess they made. How sick are those people? How sociopathic?
Flying H- Yu get star of the day! I'll be using that in an upcoming post.
Nancy- Nasty? If I wanted to be nasty I'd just delete the posts. As I said I have no problem if you want to link to your very long, off-topic comments (which you may notice I ask people to refrain from on the commenting form). The original post had nothing to do with the Green Lantern trailer, so if you want to blog on it please feel free to do so elsewhere and link us to it. I'm sure everyone will enjoy reading your thoughts. And if you want to take part in the conversation at hand here, you're much more than welcome to do so.
Jake- Right on, Jake.
Dennis- It's OK, we're cool. And I regret having to bring it up here (and deleted the original comment) but I didn't have a way of contacting her directly. I give a lot of leeway but I don't include those guidelines on the comment form for decoration. I want to keep the comments section a forum in which people are communicating with each other. Nancy is more than welcome here and I look forward to reading her insights on some of these other issues on her own blog, and I'm sure everyone else does as well.
The highest point of any human was held for some time by a fellow named Paul Petzoldt, it was on the 1936 expedition to K2. It wasn't surpassed until 1952.
Paul Petzolt started a outdoor school called NOLS, (pronounced like YOUR last name!)
Maybe a nod to this fellow?
Crowley went on to India, studying various Hindu practices.[50] In 1902, he was joined in India by Eckenstein and several other mountaineers named Guy Knowles, H. Pfannl, V. Wesseley, and Dr Jules Jacot-Guillarmod. Together the Eckenstein-Crowley expedition attempted to climb the mountain K2, which at that time no other Europeans had attempted.
Oh Chris, thank you so much for your additional responses and deletion. You are quite the gentleman!
I know that in November some of my responses had gotten pretty lengthy. But don't mistake passion and enthusiasm for malice. I didn't intend any disrespect, although I see clearly how you could have interpreted the situation as such. I will endeavor to employ more links and urls in the future!
With warm regards, N.B.
I never thought you were being malicious, Nancy. =)
