When the fleur–de–lis is inverted it forms the “head of the Baphomet of Mendes”

When the fleur–de–lis is inverted it forms the “head of the Baphomet of Mendes”

The Wikipedia Japanese Baphomet page explains that when the fleur–de–lis is inverted it forms the “head of the Baphomet of Mendes” (as shown below). The English translation of “fleur–de–lis” is “flower of the lily”. The symbol, depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. The fleur–de–lis has long been associated with the Virgin Mary in Christian symbolism, especially from the Medieval period onward. The Virgin Mary has long been associated with Sophia. If the symbol is inverted to form Baphomet’s head it might represent the shadow side or darker aspect of Sophia. Kathleen Granville Damiani authored the 1998 dissertation titled “Sophia: Exile and Return” and characterizes Sophia as the “Mother of Exiles” and notes that Sophia’s “other faces”, her darker side, include Lilith. When we consider that the fleur–de–lis represents the Holy Trinity (by most accounts) and when inverted forms the head of Baphomet, one wonders if the symbol is meant to represent a shadow of the Holy Trinity when inverted (one possible interpretation is that it represents an Unholy Trinity). As previously said, the fleur–de–lis represents the Holy Trinity (by most accounts). The Holy Trinity is the Christian belief that God exists as three distinct persons — God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit — who are each fully God but together one God (these are assumed to be God, Christ, and sometimes Mary — or their Egyptian equivalents as Osiris, Horus, and Isis).

One interpretation of the fleur–de–lis is that it symbolically represents the birth of Christ. This idea has been suggested by James David Holloway in his 1991 book ‘The Last Gospel’ and in related discussions. In various traditions, the fleur–de–lis is associated with the Virgin Mary and so the form of the symbol might be interpreted as representing Mary herself. This is because from a purely visual perspective, the outline of the fleur–de–lis resembles a human–like figure, with a central torso–like shape, two side extensions that resemble arms and legs, and a lower section from which another form appears to emerge. This arrangement invites a symbolic reading of Mary giving birth to Christ. The form that appears to emerge from the lower part of the fleur–de–lis — when the symbol is rotated 180 degrees — resembles a cross and can also appear somewhat similar to the head of the king piece in the game chess. The Christian cross is the primary symbol of Christ and the head of Christ in old paintings is usually superimposed over a cross. When the fleur–de–lis is symbol inverted, this cross–like symbol becomes upright, producing an outline resembling the head of Baphomet, which in this speculative interpretation symbolically connects Baphomet with Christ.

Another connection to Christ is Baphomet’s “flame of intelligence” above his head — which some suggest might be interpreted as symbolically giving birth to light — bears a striking resemblance to Greco–Egyptian images of Harpocrates (Younger Horus; sometimes said to be a “god of light”, and probably a precursor to Christ) emerging from a lotus flower (the fleur–de–lis is also sometimes said to be a lotus flower); a symbol of rebirth, transformation, and resurrection. The key point is that the three petals visible in the images here — on Baphomet’s torch and on the lotus flower beneath Harpocrates — are identical and might suggest a symbolic reference to Harpocrates’s triune nature. Horus was linked to the scarab beetle as a symbol of rebirth, resurrection, and spontaneous creation, which is a symbol said to be linked to Baphomet. The Egyptian xpr (𓆣), the scarab beetle sign, means to become, come into being, rise, or transform.

Do any of you use Foetracer on Hunter's Relativism? If so, what do you pair it with?

I got Foetracer and Coyote and it works for me pretty well. Is it a waste?

Is David Icke controlled opposition? The recent change to how subscriptions work on Ickonic

Over the last 2 months, David Icke has changed how subscriptions work on his video platform called Ickonic. Before when you wanted to cancel your subscription would could do so easily with a click on a button. However, this was changed recently and now you have to contact them by email to cancel and talk to them.

I did so, and it asked me to fill out a form to create a Gmail account to talk to them. I used to think Icke was legit, but this made me question him and his motives.

What do you know about the Saturn cube?

SS: Over the last few years, I’ve been very interested in the mysterious symbol ubiquitously known simply as the “black cube”. For the uninitiated, the black cube is apparently a symbol of Saturn and it often pops up in important locations throughout the world. To quote Jordan Maxwell from his book ‘Matrix of Power’: “The symbol that was used in religious context with Saturn was the black cube”. There are monuments of the black Saturn cube in various sites throughout the world, and it often features in movies, music videos, and other media. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of information about it and so it’s very much open to interpretation about what it represents, although many people suggest that it represents the material world.

The cross-sectional area of brain that contains the pineal gland closely resembles the Eye of Horus

SS: The Eye of Horus, an ancient Egyptian symbol associated with healing and protection, has sparked various interpretations regarding its origin. In his documentary ‘Remembering The End Of The World’, comparative mythologist, David Talbott proposes a connection between the Eye and a celestial alignment from millennia ago, while others link it to symbolizing the waxing and waning phases of the Moon. However, a particularly captivating interpretation suggests that the Eye might represent human anatomy. An intriguing paper titled ‘The Eye of Horus: The Connection Between Art, Medicine, and Mythology in Ancient Egypt’, published in the National Library of Medicine, establishes an association between the Eye and the anatomy of the human brain. The brain region surrounding the pineal gland exhibits an astonishing resemblance to the Eye of Horus. Some theorists propose that by basing the Eye of Horus on the part of the brain containing the pineal gland, the ancient Egyptians were symbolically expressing the notion of a concealed mental or spiritual power within this gland. Dimethyl tryptamine (DMT) is released from the pineal gland (especially in very large quantities when one dies) and is known as the “spirit molecule”. René Descartes, deeply intrigued by the pineal gland, considered it the primary seat of the spirit and soul and the place where all thoughts are formulated. His philosophical framework postulated that humans possess both a physical body and a non-physical, “immaterial” mind.

The orbital path of Venus

When observed from Earth, Venus traces a pentagram across the sky every 8 years making a pattern of a rose (as shown above). This is known as the “Rose of Venus” or the “Pentagram of Venus”. The pentagram was used in ancient times as a Christian symbol for the 5 senses, or for the “5 wounds of Christ”. Wikipedia notes that early pentagrams have been found on Sumerian pottery from 3,500 BCE, and the 5-pointed star was at various times the symbol of Ishtar or Marduk (see Wikipedia’s “Pentagram” page). Ishtar was also known as Inanna and Sophia and was seen as the embodiment of Venus.

Me, about 10-15 years ago. I watched the Zeitgeist movies and from there watched loads of other conspiracy-related content.

An article arguing that the malicious AI in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey was a representation of the Gnostic Demiurge. Also, many Gnostic themes are argued in the article

The movie 2001 was a remarkable technical achievement with cinematography that still stands out today as being quite amazing. It was a collaboration between Arthur Clarke and Stanley Kubrick, with Clarke writing the novel and Kubrick directing the movie. Both were in development simultaneously, with the release of the movie preceding the novel. 2001 is somewhat ambiguous and will lead you on a phantasmagorical trip around the universe and up the garden path until your mind is lost in complete confusion. While of all Kubrick’s movies are complex and multilayered, 2001 is perhaps the most multilayered and enigmatic of all, mainly because Kubrick consistently refused to provide anything close to an explanation.

I just discovered the Spirit of Renewal and Spirit of the Cyrtarachne build

For months, my Hunter exotic class item has been Spirit of the Foetracer and Spirit of the Coyote, and I saw a build with Spirit of Renewal and Spirit of the Cyrtarachne on YouTube which looked good. I checked my vault and luckily had this class item.

The survivability of this surprised me. Spirit of Renewal gives your Duskfield grenades Frost Armor which is something like 30% DR, and Spirit of the Cyrtarachne gives grenades Woven Mail which again is almost 50% DR. And you get both of those for just throwing one grenade!

I use the 86 sword to get my grenade energy back so I can loop grenades, and it usually takes only one heavy attack. The 86 sword has an Origin Trait which gives back tons of energy.

Any tips for a player that’s just discovered this build?

Before Tracy Twyman died in 2019, she made a final video that you can watch on BitChute titled “The Internet Has Been Compromised”. In it, she detailed the bizarre things that had been happening to her, which included strange communications from her computer and TV — devices she described as essentially talking to her — websites she had previously visited being replaced with fake versions, people she had known for a long time “plotting against her”, and threats from both anonymous and known individuals on the Internet. She also described her computer reading her mind and using her fears against her.

Some Internet users said she had lost her mind, while others believed her. She attempted to explain the things happening to her as the work of an AI on the Internet, but some of the experiences she described verge on the supernatural — such as the TV talking to her.

In 2022, a British TV series called “Red Rose” came out that had striking similarities to the case of Tracy Twyman. The show was about teenagers downloading an AI app and this app turning malicious. The app sends deeply personal and emotionally manipulative messages. It knows users’ fears, secrets, and insecurities, and uses that knowledge to emotionally torment them. Red Rose isolates users by manipulating their social relationships — sending fake messages to friends, causing mistrust, and making the user feel alone or targeted. It’s releaved that the app can even alter reality itself.

In the 1927 movie “Metropolis”, one of the lines was: “They spoke the same language, but could not understand each other”, which is a reference to the Tower of Babel, about how God confounded languages. This confounding of language could be interpreted as an AI within the fabric of our reality scrambling our communications. This is what Tracy believed, but she thought the AI was limited to the Internet, while some think this AI is built into the fabric of our reality, ala The Matrix. In which case, sayings like “You’re in your own bubble” take on a whole new meaning, as people might be experiencing realities that this AI has catered for them.
