Synchromysticism is ABOUT TIME

Synchronicity is the co-incidence of an internal reality - a thought, a dream, etc - with things happening in external reality. 

I'm Going to Send You Back to Twin Peaks Schooling

The Twin Peaks codebreak continues at the Secret Sun Extension School as we celebrate the life and legacy of the Dream Ambassador...

David Lynch: Chasing the Siren

David Lynch may not have been as obsessed with Elizabeth Fraser as I am, but then again, maybe he was. The man certainly spent a lot of time and money chasing that sweet, sweet Fraserly dragon...

David Lynch Shuffles Off This Mortal Coil

David Lynch - the great poet laureate of dream reality - and his work are at the very heart of The Secret Sun, so the news that he's shuffled off his mortal coil and returned to the dreamlands whence he came is a cause for both mourning and celebration - mourning his death and celebrating his life.

Deep Diving Under the Silver Lake

This Saturday night, we'll be taking a deep dive into one of the most revelatory (and Synchromystical) films of the past 10 years...

I Wanna Take You to Mulholland Drive...

Buckle up, because we're taking a midnight ride to Mulholland Drive. A word to the wise: It's a steep and treacherous ride and your present conception of reality may not return intact.

The Never-Ending Rituals: The 4th A.D.

May 5: After an apparent failure on Imbolc, SpaceX successfully launches "Starship" (sic) on Beltane.

UFOs? More like UF-NO's

Around 2011 or so I coined Knowles' Law on UFOs: "The probability that a UFO story is a deliberate hoax is correlative to the amount of mainstream media coverage it receives."

I think this is a very useful law to keep in mind these days.

Wet Asp, or the Power to Procreate With (Sons of) Gods

 

I mentioned the film Immortal (AKA Immortel Ad Vitam) a couple posts back and it stirred some conversation in the comments lounge. I wanted to revisit it for a couple reasons, one of which has to do with some hot-button issues bouncing around the current news cycle. 

The other has to do with us getting a real-time master class in the application of Knowles' First Law.

From Your Friends at The Secret Sun Institute of Quantum Particle Fraysics

The following is an excerpt from the ongoing apocalyptic blitzkrieg of Sync being documented by your friends at The Secret Sun Institute of Highly Advanced Synchromystic Studies and Secret Sun Institute of Quantum Particle Fraysics. 

Would You Kids Please Stop Asking When It Ends? It Never Ends.

Jesus Christ Pose

Pathological obsessiveness and a surplus of downtime are a dangerous combination for people like me. 

Now Don't Go Saying I Didn't Tell You. Because I Did.

Today marks the third anniversary of the start of the Apocalypse. 

Or at least it does for me. 

Deep Diving: Beyond the Black Rainbow & Mandy

Regular Sun readers already know I am a huge fan of Panos Cosmatos' two feature films, Beyond the Black Rainbow and Mandy. 

I'd go so far to say they're among my top five movies of the past two decades, if not the top three. If there were even just a few more like these I wouldn't be so pessimistic about cinema.

Armageddon Tired of This ApocaLARPse

I believe this is true. From what I hear Marina is definitely not a Satanist, she just plays one on television. 

Closed-circuit television. At adreno-harvesting parties, on remote Caribbean islands.

I kid, I kid!

LA Coincidental: Under the Silver Lake

Why, hello there. Nice of you to stop by, seeing how quiet things have been 'round these parts over the summer. Can't be helped, I'm afraid. I've had my hands quite full with other matters. 

Apocalypse 2Night: Come, Armageddon, Come.

I never got the whole Dario Argento thing. I mean, I get it; I realize why hipsters would be drawn to his work. It's "stylish" and "surreal" and "transgressive," if you like that sort of thing.

All These Things Must Come to Pass

Hello friends. Are you enjoying the Secret Sunification of the entire world? 

You aren't? Well, just don't say I didn't warn you.

Swamp Things and Strange Angels

Marvel John Whiteside Parsons, who no one outside of a small handful of weirdos had ever even heard of until very recently, is the subject of a new prestige series based on the biography written by George Pendle. 

CERN Watch: Are CERN and D::Wave Overwriting Time?

So I'm sure all of you are familiar with the Mandala Effect. For some weird reason I seem to remember most of the things that people swear didn't happen ( I quite clearly remember having a discussion with my mother about the "Berenstain" thing when I was about nine), but I have my own examples of time getting unstuck.  

Babylon's Burning

Well, California wildfires are back in the news, this time in the south. Because these fires are striking at a major nerve center, so to speak, they seem to be getting a lot more attention in the news.
