More thoughts on Pluribus as a Brit, for me Carol is almost a commentary on the role of capitalism. When faced with socialism the anger of the capitalist could literally kill millions.

#pluribus

So I'm trying to watch tv. Not an easy task for me seeing as I have the attention span of a gnat since long covid struck. What I'm trying to watch is Pluribus, which has been hailed as a triumph in programming. So far the premise is super interesting, a world that has been rendered a utopia by the mass infection of the planet, but I really can't stand the lead character. She's grumpy and lives a life devoid of whimsy and gratitude. Even in the flashbacks she's recalcitrant. I fully understand that she has lost her life partner and is having to deal with the grief of the situation alongside the mind boggling fact that the whole planet is like some kind of Stepford Wives shit. I'm wondering now if following this woman on her journey is going to be painful for me. I hate to see someone struggle so hard to reach a truth. To struggle to see the entire landscape of the future. Like what does she expect from the future? That somehow the entire hive mind decides to revert back to a world of wars, and greed, and frustration? I agree wholeheartedly with the Indian woman who saw the change in the human race as a good thing.

MOON Stands for emotions, instincts and the unconscious. Represents the instinctual reactions one has to the world. The mecca of the inner world governing how we feel emotionally and respond to certain situations. Unconscious force, personality, instinct.

JUPITER The planet of good luck, optimism, success, and generosity. Associated with where you’ll find expansiveness and abundance. It rules over philosophical knowledge, the extent to which you’re a visionary, higher learning, and honesty. Whereas mercury governs a clever intellect, Jupiter governs deeper wisdom and philosophy.

It is associated with diligence, self control, limitation, patience, stability, maturity and realism. Governs how trust and respect, along with discipline, are integrated in the self. Are you self disciplined, or does the world deliver these lessons to you?

Similar to Mars, but relating to inner will and secret power. Unconscious purpose revealed over a lifetime.

HAD TITANIC ARRIVED:

The Titanic sank on April 14, 1912. Had it not struck the iceberg, it would have arrived in New York on April 17th. But what was happening in New York on April 17th, 1912? The answer may change history as you know it.

On April 17th, a Wednesday, there was a solar eclipse, one long awaited by a new religious movement called The Order of the Golden Temple. The OGT was a group of about 120 people, located mostly in Manhattan, who believed that the sun itself was a temple of gold sacred to the god Aupolus (a neopagan interpretation of Apollo), who was killed and reborn with each solar eclipse.

The OGT was banned in England where it was formed by Aleister Crowley’s aunt, Jessica Caledrice Boothe. It was banned because, during the eclipse of 1888, Boothe and her followers ran rampant through London committing murders and mutilations, scattering the innards of their victims in occult sigils, and eating their spleens. The case of Jack the Ripper was notably a few days after these events and was not counted among them, however Ripper historians often neglect to note that those murders ended literally the night before Boothe and her surviving followers emigrated to New York.

Boothe’s murderous cult arrived at Pier 59, where the Titanic would be scheduled to arrive 24 years later. They festered in the New York underground, all the while growing and preparing for the grand ritual to be performed on April 17th, 1912. Documents found in Boothe’s home after her death suggest that the day would have been one of mass murder on an unseen scale, in which at least 2222 residents of the big city would be sacrificed to ensure the Sun God’s return. But this was not to be.

News of the Titanic’s sinking hit New York on April 16th and it hit like a ton of bricks. The population was stricken with grief and that included Mrs. Boothe, who had two sisters on the ship, inbound for the dark ritual. She cancelled the ritual and disbanded the cult, having had her fill of death and destruction and loss. And so thousands of lives were lost, and thousands more were saved in that strange April, where the Titanic perished only to prevent the mutilation, death, and spleenal cannibalism that was to take place days later.

Here’s the strangest thing though- Jessica Boothe died a few days after the cancellation of the ritual on April 19th, 1912. Her cause of death is unknown but she promised one thing- The Sun God would have his revenge, specifically on the 222nd eclipse after their failure. That eclipse will take place on December 14, 2020, when Boothe said, the sun would be eclipsed- And never come back.

Thankfully this is all unlikely due to the scientific facts of our sun and moon; the unanimous global dismissal of Boothe as a homicidal lunatic; and the failure of her other wild predictions to come true, including England floating away from Europe, the United States being taken over by a lecherous demon, and the decimation of the world’s population by the plague. So long as none of those unlikely events happen, we should all be safe.

This is so amazing.

I’ve been trying to feed and befriend the corvids in my neighborhood for almost a year, and it isn’t working for some reason. I suspect and blame the squirrels.
