You watch it and tell me.

The Tree of Life sphere Tiphareth contains beauty and harmony. It is the realm of the Christ energy and of universal love. It is also the center of the Tree of Life and thus the energy from this sphere feeds all the other spheres, not unlike the how the heart charka is the center of the human system and feeds all the other charka.

Tiphareth is a beautiful place. This beauty helps to awaken the inner quality that everything contains beauty in some way, as long as you look for it. It is another lesson that is handy to take back with you in the physical realm: find the good and the beautiful in everyone and everything you meet. When you can do this, you unlock all that is good within that person or thing and you too get to experience this goodness.

In Tiphareth you will find vast teaching facilities and many of the highest masters will be in this realm as well. You may find yourself sitting in a classroom or in a field listening to a teacher. These kinds of activities are often associated with Tiphareth. Don't dispel an old school-dream too quickly. It is possible you were visiting this sphere in a dream state and sitting in on a lecture. Often your mind will try to make sense of these experiences in familiar ways, and pulling your old schooling day's energy patterns is often the way these experiences show themselves in your memory.

The energy in Tiphareth is one of devotion and dedication to service. Without either of these qualities you would not be able to learn anything. To learn you must be devoted to the learning. Then to cement that learning takes dedication in the form of service to others. So a big lesson here in Tiphareth is one of learning and then of being of service to others. Knowledge becomes wisdom once you apply it, and this is the message that is transmitted here.

The horned god, whether as hunting deity, wild huntsman or forest spirit will always be with us. He is a part of us. He can be ignored or spurned, but he will not go away. Even after so long he still finds new ways to appear.

He is the horned god of the hunt and of the forest, lord of the sabbat and of the underworld. He is the embodiment of wild nature and the male principle.

Numerous cultures integrate figures with horns into their mythology, including Cernunnos, Herne the Hunter, Pan, and many others.

The Horned God is linked with male tendencies, including virility. He is often associated with the forest and with wild animals, and in many cases he is linked with hunting, as well.

He alternates with the goddess of the moon in ruling over life and death, continuing the cycle of death, rebirth and reincarnation. (note Osiris/Isis...leading to Thoth/Hermes)

The movie 2001 looks to have the cental spine of the Kabbalah system at its heart....from Malkuth to Yesod to Tiphareth and finally to Kether as the finale.

The Cube (Monolith/Kubrick/Cubed Brick) is a magickal symbol for Tiphareth. The VEM is an octahedron-within-a-cube (which Kubrick uses in the stargate sequence), which is also the atomic structure of the diamond.

[1977]

The next sphere reached by the aspirant is named Beauty, numbered 6, and referred to the heart, to the Sun, and to Gold. Here he is called an "Adept". The secret Truth in this place is that God is Man, symbolized by the Hexagram, (in which two triangles are interlaced).
In the last sphere he learnt that his Body was the Temple of the Rosy Cross, that is, that it was given him as a place wherein to perform the Magical Work of uniting the oppositions in his Nature. Here he is taught that his Heart is the Centre of Light. It is not dark, mysterious, hollow, obscure even to himself, but his soul is to dwell there, radiating Light on the six spheres which surround it; these represent the various powers of his mind. This Book now appears to him as Gold; it is the perfect metal, the symbol of the Sun itself. He sees God everywhere therein.
To this sphere hath the aspirant come by the Path called Temperance, shot as an arrow from a Rainbow. He hath beheld the Light, but only in division. Nor had he won to this sphere except by Temperance, under which name we mask the art of pouring freely forth the whole of our Life, to the last spilth of our blood, yet losing never the least drop thereof. (Crowley)

We see from Room 237 that it is indeed "dark, mysterious, hollow, obscure even to himself," for the Mystery there apprehended is the death of a Goddess. The Overlook was built on her grave. Jack's (Osiris') soul is in disarray; the girl has been chopped into pieces.









Crowley continues:

Now once again the adept aspires and comes to the sphere called the Crown numbered 1, referred to the God Ra-Hoor-Khuit himself in man [the Star Child, or Danny Torrance?] . . .
Now to this sphere came he by the Path called the High Priestess; She is his Silent Self, virgin beyond all veils, made free to teach him, by virtue of this third ordeal wherein, passing through the abyss, he has stripped from him every rag of falsehood, his last complexes, even his phantasy that he called 'I'. And so he knows at last now the soiled harlot's dress was mere disguise; naked in Moonlight shines the maiden Body!

None of them appear in the movie (as far as I know).



I think there's some sort of process being depicted.

The woman on the right looks to be inserting the little white object in her fingers into Jack's shoulder or back, or 'typing' into Jack, then the man holding his arm is causing the little white object to be produced in Jack's hand at the other end.

The dove broach and the feather look like they're superimposed on the image, and floating above the man's hand, rather than actually being worn by the woman behind it. Her eyes are closed and the woman above and behind her looks unusual/vaguely sinister. The man's jutting bowtie has a connection with the dove/hatchling...

EDIT: Some people are looking at the camera and some aren't. That might be an indication of who to pay attention to in a particular way.

She holds her white object (of a similar scale to Torrence's note) between the index and middle fingers of her Right Hand. Could what she's holding be a folded note that compliments Torrence's? If it is, there could be a double-entendre at work. Alternatively it could it be a very direct 'clue', indicative of a mutual promise between partners? Could it be the clue that identifies them as being representational of Promissory Notes??

The same applies to the wider shot of all the partygoers, but in this cropped image you can get a sense that some of them are just bland, clueless extras making up the numbers, and some of them know exactly what's going on:

Yes, though tranny woman () looks secretly delighted too:



Identifying pairings maybe?

The two men with moustaches are another pair. Like the hero and the villain, with the upper of the two definitely giving off a cartoonish 'Hitler' vibe.

Reminded me of a line from 'Introducing Sociology', by Tim Reider: http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0096.html

"The most erotic scenes he ever filmed were the bomber refueling in Dr. Strangelove and the spaceliner docking in 2001".

Quilty dragging his arse up the stairs:

"You know? This house is roomy and cool(?), you can see how cool it is, [... something something] Florence forever, I've got some nice friends who could come and keep you company here, you could use them as pieces of furniture. This one guy looks just like a bookcase. I could fix for you to attend executions, how would you like that? Just you. There's nobody else. Just watching. Watching. You like watching captain? You know coz not many people know that the, that the chair is painted yellow. You'd be the only guy in the know. Imagine, your friends, you could tell 'em. Oh - that hurt!".

But the "drink," given its placement (in relation to the alchemical Gold Room and the Hexagram), would most surely be in reference to

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/cr....%20THE%20STAR

(These cups resemble breasts, as it is written:

“the milk of the stars from her paps; yea, the milk of the stars from her paps”).

The Universe is here resolved into its ultimate elements. (One is tempted to quote from the Vision of the Lake Pasquaney, “Nothingness with twinkles. . . but what twinkles!”) Behind the figure of the goddess is the celestial globe. Most prominent among its features is the seven-pointed Star of Venus, as if declaring the principal characteristic of her nature to be Love. (See again the description in Chapter I of the Book of the Law). From the golden cup she pours this ethereal water, which is also milk and oil and blood, upon her own head, indicating the eternal renewal of the categories, the inexhaustible possibilities of existence.

The left hand, lowered, holds a silver cup, from which also she pours the immortal liquor of her life. (This liquor is the Amrita of the Indian philosophers, the Nepenthe and Ambrosia of the Greeks, the Alkahest and Universal Medicine of the Alchemists, the Blood of the Grail; or, rather, the nectar which is the mother of that blood. She pours it upon the junction of land and water.

Far out, just watching opening credits of Lolita, geeze, foot fetish city! [loving this soundtrack]. That couple who turn up at the summer dance are definitely swingers. The pace they are walking at indicates 'up for action' (don't ask how i know that haha). Women on upper balcony, above the 'summer dance banner' is presiding over events as the two couples 'catch up' at the Hors d'oeuvre Table, her arms stretched out and resting on the balcony balustrade - indicating the potential for a 'hook-up', she's positioned right above one of the two 'M's of 'summer'. Ha, when the couple makes off with Lolita (& partner) Humbert is left 'holding the cake' - but doesn't get to 'eat it too'. Don't mean to be rude - but this stuff is all pretty overt! Lolita returns home after caviar? Well, guess those are enough examples of what's going on in this neighbourhood?! Crikey! fast-forward to Hotel lobby, Quilty's partner in patent trench, very much the cartoon of a Betti Page Dom, Quilty describing S&M gymnastics and footage capture to the male receptionist. State Police Convention? Humbert & Lolita enter Room 242. Humbert whilst checking on progress of 'The Cot' is intercepted by Quilty 'the cartoon'. Quilty: "Mr George Swine [...] he'd probably go and 'turn' some of the Troopers 'out' so you could have a lovely room, bridal suite for you and your lovely little girl [...] he should say to himself - 'gee, I've gotta give that guy a lovely - sort of comfortable - foamy bed to sleep in [...] because I could go over and really take a swipe at him for not giving you a lovely, comfortable, sleepy, 'movie-star' bed. You know what I mean - I mean, you know, what? Has he got you on the floor or something?". Humbert tries to resist the porter's entry to Room 242 with The Cot, which is folded, like a book of The Law (that they're surrounded by 'Police' raised that association for me). Lolita awakens: "Hello, The Cot came, hmm, well - good night". Humbert lays down, in The Cot / The Law (?) which descends to the floor, with a thud. The End. I can see I'm going to have to watch this many more times than once! Have any of you guys worked out what happens between the Hotel and the Mansion? I wonder if there's a description of events encoded in Quilty's dialogue through-out the film? Surely he's not as cryptic as he is for nothing? but I've no idea how that could be plotted out even if it is the case. Yellow chair? escape from the 'movie-myth'? Humbert in 'real life'? Static bystander whilst an execution takes place? of Lolita? Back to Humbert entering the Mansion, at the top of the Stairs to his right, a throne - or chair - covered by a white sheet. The print of the wallpaper behind it aligned to create the impression of a stylised Baphomet 'head'? Hey, isn't that Lolita's shoe on the head of the statue, ones she was wearing when she was sent away to camp? as seen from Humbert's window as she's on the driveway downstairs? The same one's she was wearing on the bed at the Hotel before Humbert goes down about The Cot? To back-track, when Humbert is driving to pick up Lolita from camp after her Mother's death, he passes through a Toll way-station, a truck departing the same way-station with a large advertisement for Cott Beverages. Back to the Police Convention and Quilty 'impersonating' an officer. Could it be that he and his Dom partner actually are representing The Law? The Law of the 'movie-star' bed? Sorry if some of you have already picked up on some of this stuff, I've not had time to go through all of feralgoose's content. George Swine? George's Wine?
