I'm writing because of the comments about Iowa and Illinois on this mailing list. Also because a lot of the looping conversations lately have been filled with a subtext that I seem to understand, and I think that a lot of you on this list are somehow aware of something, on some level, in the same way that I'm feeling aware of it. Mark's (I think) comment on "new art forms" yesterday or the day before seemed to hit home with me with regard to "The Hundredth Monkey" and the bringing of people into the awareness of artwork on a deep psychic level: the notion of the eschaton as a painting or sculpture- a monument- like mount Rushmore- visions of the Elders on some spiritual plane being frozen in time so that they appear to be statues, monuments, or sculptures. Note the Norah Jones song about a painting. Note the Kenny Rogers song "If I were A Painting"- both recently discovered by me. Note that I have a picture "The Big Still Life" given to me by my neighbor. All of these images also tie into the idea of predestination and the concept of "painting over" the "photographic reality" of destiny" with the "brush strokes" of free will manifested. Also because many of my mental images this week related to loopback, feedback, and the notion of a spiral movement as describing a structure that loops as it moves forward along the plane of time. Also - this last reference to Illinois. I've been getting lots of Gangster and Chicago references in my mental imagery. In the news today- Illinois- death sentence issues. Wrongly accused people on death row being set free. Related images: Maltese Falcon, Gold phone. Also- Iowa- I think that's where the train, with 11 bodies, was found. I'd been getting lots of images of CORN. Then someone on this list mentioned Iowa. I'd been getting strong images of Mexico this week also. I believe the Iowa train bodies had a link to Mexico. I had been seeing images of trains and played songs about trains almost every say- Saturday, Sunday, and yesterday. I am now getting strong images of busses and bicycles. The bus image is the stronger of the two at the moment. It also seems to tie into the notion of "commuting"- as in- "commuting the sentences of the punished." I saw images of fireworks, a night sky lit up, and missile launches. There's a story in the news today about a missile launch in Southern California. Especially humorous that is was a "Minuteman 11" because I referred to myself last week, and to others, I believe, as the "Last Minute Man". Strong imagery related to Philadelphia. A repeated question: "Is it a pet, a toy, or a menace?" Kept thinking about toys last week- bothered by toys, and dolls, actually. And was also thinking about import, export, and Teddy Bears, and the story "The Teddy Bear Habit." I keep thinking I'm associated with the Teddy Bear. I kept thinking about BRASS IN POCKET - today I see that there are problems at the ports with regard to DOLLS/TOYS made by BRATZ. But I still see something else that must have to do with "Brass"... It is also used in knuckles and possibly- for covering "teeth"? (see my "half-hidden eyes" notes somewhere in here) And of course that leads me to the notion of "brats". I'm seeing images of playful spirits being "brats"- playing jokes on one another- perhaps even like a "celebrity roast" or "wordplay"... I had been thinking a lot about word games and head games and then Bush referred to the problems with Iraq as being "Word Games." Yesterday I was compelled to stretch with my arms above my head. Today my shoulder blade hurts. This coincides withy a news story on CNN this morning about a man trapped who had to keep his arms above his head, and when he was freed, he had suffered a dislocated shoulder blade. You guys were confused by my Mentos-Spree comments last week- remember? Well the MINT issue is still a lingering one for me- both the herb and the money types. The SPREE, apparently, was connected to a premonition about the shooting spree in Virginia/DC/Maryland. I had believed there would be 9 killed. If more get killed, well then that throws this off. However there's also a link, I feel, to the l11 dead in the train and 9 dead plus 2 injured in Iowa. And I've been seeing the number 22. For months, I had been seeing white vans- and even took pictures of white vans outside my house- strangely obsessed with them. I'd also been taking pictures of Roses and Lilies. Lots of references in my life these days to MAGNOLIA- the movie, the flower- and even to the movie "Steel Magnolias". Also references to Dogwood. But the dogwoods, the Cala lilies and other lilies- and also references to orchids and some strange link to pornography- are not as strong today. I now keep seeing images of Mint- money- gold- I even noted something about a bank robber last week. Lots of thief images in general. Thieves and robbers. Breaking and entering. Coming in through a window. Hiding in compartments. Guerillas. Revolutionaries. All seemingly tied together. ** Two reports on CNN just now about things stolen. One about a botched robbery. The quote "explaining to do" - note the connection today to Lucille Ball- and Ricky "Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" Also think of the scene in Thelma and Louise when Gina Davis holds up a supermarket, and note how it was used in the media within the movie to make the two women, inherently good- to be criminals. Which in the end leads to them committing suicide by driving off a cliff. I keep hearing the question: "Is it a crime" battling with "Am I right" and the notion of people taking part in actions which are technically illegal but which seem to them to be the ethically correct choice. TONS of external pressure to have a DVD player and to get my DVD player working. DVD? DVD? What IS it? This past weekend (or week) I was having visions of a sloping structure with pyramid style entry portals- I was seeing pyramids- I was seeing lotus flower references yesterday and kept thinking I was supposed to be sitting in the Lotus position- and I was seeing hieroglyphs. Today I see that this all coincides with the new building in Alexandria Egypt. I kept seeing Hershey's kisses. Well, Shirley Maclaine was part of that. I kept seeing heart shaped jewelry- Shirley Maclaine, on her web site- has the pink heart pendant that corresponds exactly to the green-blue heart pendant that I have. I kept thinking "hands over heart- protect heart. I kept feeling like a prisoner. I kept seeing pirates. I kept feeling that when the prisoner would be freed, his lover would be waiting for him. Yesterday I was compelled to play a song about LOVE AND DEVOTION. I went to the Hershey's web site and saw the story of the Claddagh: "This Irish legend of love and devotion dates back to 1690 when Richard Joyce was captured by pirates and sold as a slave to a Turkish goldsmith. As his years in captivity passed, he learned the goldsmith's trade and longed to go back home to Claddagh, a small fishing village on the west coast of Ireland." I kept seeing images of the Titanic. And the DEAD on a sunken vessel crying out from beneath the sea, and have been feeling trapped in my apartment... Now there's a movie coming out called "Ghost Ship." I have been seeing signs about Giants battling Angels. Giants being not associated with me- and someone of the "giant sort" said he "keeps elves". I keep getting Angel associations. I did not know that the Giants and Angels were battling for the pennant, so when I saw this today- I was a bit perturbed. And curious. The illegal sale of radar equipment from the Ukraine to Iraq also has a link to visions or experiences I've had. I keep thinking that my psychic impulses are mirrored by another "rabbit with ears half-hidden under turban" in the Iraqi Parliament. I keep seeing ears half-hidden and eyes half-hidden. The eyes half-hidden are not under a turban, but under a hat- a loose floppy hat- images I've seen are- hip hop artists, and the mad hatter- associated with this. Heavy metals are associated with this. The mad hatter suffered from Mercury poisoning. The kid on MTV's "Cribs" yesterday, with this eyes half hidden under floppy hat- had metal covered teeth. Is in not true that a rather heave metal is used for tooth coverings? Lots of references to rabbits and hip hop. Seems funny- they may not be linked- they might be separate images, but my brain just put those two together. Lots of imagery of gold, and coin pressing. Lots of imagery of Jade. There was a story about jade stolen from a sacred site in Latin America on CNN this morning. Imagery about jigsaw puzzles- putting the pieces together. I wrote about the end of the movie Citizen Kane- where Kane and his wife are separated by their immersion in their own puzzles. In the end he drops the crystal ball and says "Rosebud." - I've been seeing references to "Rose" and "Buddy" and "Rose buds" as images of flowers opening up from a tightly closed state- the state of origin being like that of cabbages or Brussels Sprouts. Then also - lots of Physics imagery, especially" Gravity and "Strange Attractors"- I saw Newton's Apple- I have been seeing a lot about Franklin's experiment with the key, the string, and the Lightning Storm. I am being drawn to signs that point to a "Quiet Storm" - as is the name of the album by Sade to which I was drawn this morning based upon sidewise/indirect references that I'm been seeing lately. I've been seeing a lot related to "dyslexia" and "illiteracy" and "learning new languages" and "Rosetta stones" and these images are tied in with the "Future Speak" article in the SF Weekly and these are also reinforcing the "Rose" concept and these are also tied into my visions of "hieroglyphs" and my recent fascination with FONTS and the notion of two things" 1. STYLE - which I've asked about on this list with regard to music production (lots of JAZZ imagery in my mental palette also) and 2. ENCRYPTION- consider how a plain English sentence is unreadable when converted to the symbols font. To read an English sentence in the "SYMBOL font" - you get the chart of the ASCII values for each symbol and convert the text back into standard ASCII characters. This is a de-encryption concept similar to public key, private key. I've been getting LOTS of imagery about BREAD. Have not yet figured that one about. Maybe I'm just not eating enough. Lots of images of Wisconsin, lots of images of CHEESE, lots of images of "nuggets" and well- yes- "Grape Nuts". Finally- so many images of feedback and loopback and people asking "Am I the cause, or are you? Is it me, or is it you?" Lots of images of redheads and blondes. Comments on CNN today about redheads needing to be anaesthetized more than other people or else they might "wake up during surgery" and that would not be good. Hm. I'm a Strawberry blond when my hair is its natural color- somewhere between red and blond- but currently my hair is red- I've been getting a lot of pressure to "go blonde"- perhaps as in "dumb blonde" or "dizzy blonde" Lots of star images, ladder images- both related to the Chevy Astro vans wioth the ladder- and - the van being sought apparently has one headlight out- the LEFT tail light. I've been getting lots of images of Cyclops, or one eye damaged or poked out. Also of Left Eye Lopez from TLC. The vision in my left eye is much worse than the vision in my right eye. Lots of imagery about unequalized vision- imbalance- and seeing out of one eye. Also a lot of imagery about "tunnel vision." Lots of images also about tunnels. And entrances to tunnels- imagine the vision of the entrance to a tunnel seen in the side of a mountain- a train tunnel or a highway tunnel - OR A MINESHAFT. Images of being trapped in the dark- needing a flashlight. Images of BASKETBALL. Images of Frankenstein. And his evil twin? And being pulled out of a box? BRAIN SWITCH imagery. Pressure to "trade places" with someone else. This is something real in my life- 1. my friend John wants me to switch apartments with him for a few months and 2. something about my red-haired friend Jennifer. I message about a "Jennifer in charge of a subversive plot to rescue or kidnp." Images of a BEACH. Long Beach? Long Island Sound? Lots of references to a Jackie- and to the Kennedys- and possibly then to Jackie Onassis. Images of Tattooed Love Boys (consider the Pretenders song)- consider Sugar Ray- consider Eminem. Note also that Eminem and Pink's latest songs have had a lot of meaning to me. LOTS of imagery about driving- driving school- driving instructors- and the fear driving instructors have when trying to teach someone who is perhaps destined to be a bad driver: Note jokes by Bob Newhart and about Anna Nicole- and note the CNN news story this morning of a car hit by a truck as it backed out of a driveway. The tropical storm announced today is called "Marco" - I was just listening to the Adam Ant song "A Man Called Marco" on Saturday and it seemed like a sign of something. Lots of imagery about MARRIAGE and of babies, and pregnancy. And the purchase of a new home. Geez, I could write more but then I'd never send this. A lot about PINE trees- and the Methusalah pine being cloned. Ties in with roses in that both have SCENTS. SENSE = CENTS = SCENTS = homonyms. Please don't hate me but I had to communicate these image manifestations to somebody and you seemed like the correct group. In fact I think some of you will once again ask "why is MIKO shouting?" Peoria = Praetoria = Sandra Bullock = The Net? Lot's of imagery about identity being stolen, identity being LOST. Bungee Jumping- sky diving- crushed head. Issues of not-trusted cord. Keep getting messages about ONE HOUR. Which means I had better hurry up and end this. Apparently I have work to do. Something about something happening in the last hour. Well, and yes, I'm waking up. Especially in the last hour. Lots of imagery of bacteria- especially in things rotting- smelling bad- I definitely need a shower- need to bring my trash out- need to clean out my refrigerator- need to finish my dishes. Lots of images of things smelling bad. Lots of images about "sequences" - "sequential" - and "chronology" - lots of pressure to have a WATCH and to know what time it is. Lots of images of symbolic Bells- of the Liberty Bells- of the Tibetan Bells experience. Lots of images about someone young and a relationship with an "old geezer" - a pressure for marriage but also- in a totally different way- the relationship of a father and son and father and daughter. Twisted mixed up image of "father and son" intertwined with "you don't have to marry the old geezer"... CNN - just commented on "father daughter" issue and someone using "family members as a human shield." Yesterday - a focus on blue- today- blue chip rally. Repeated images of Viagra????? Sounds like a bunch of BULL to me. Finally: ANALYZE THIS. OK, so that's all for now. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Williamson [mailto:erwill@suitandtieguy.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 11:30 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: Looping Fest in Iowa...How bout it? i'm in Peoria IL. count me in!!! i have a pair of Mackie SR1530s if you don't have a PA for the thing.
