Crow Notes: Art and Science

After I posted Part Three of Corona the Crow, I went looking for more verification of brain anatomy in cultural and religious art, so if you liked the Brainstem Venus figurines you’ll probably like these videos from graphic artist Brad Klausen of Magical Egypt who made these videos of his brain schematic findings some years ago.

Twilight Language, by Michael A. Hoffman II, is a book written as the follow-up to 2001’s Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare. Below the quote which he describes as brain worship is a recent two-part audio on Twilight Language posted to MAH’s twitter feed:

“[the] perception of science is inextricably tied to alchemical objectives, so [the Rosicrucian] manuscripts [of 1614] are believed to have been authored by Johann Valentin Andreo and his Tubingian Circle… and there’s another foundational Rosicrucian text, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz of 1605, also by Johann Valentin Andreo and the so-called Knights of the Golden Stone. The Rosicrucian manifestos reflected Paracelsus’s anticipation of the capacity of human brain power to take command over the stars and create new forms of life… Here we’re observing the launching of the major axis of the Cryptocracy whose subsequent influence on our world is in some respects inestimable…. [You] see here that the terms Magia and Kabbala come from a Catholic philosopher of the occult [Pico de Mirandola] and it has its origin in the Pontificate of Alexander the Sixth, the so-called Borgia pope who executed Geralomo de Savanorola…who was the enemy of the occult…so…what we’re getting a hint of here is twilight language, the literary game, the ludibrium

…Jacob Boehme in his (‘Rising Dawn’) of 1612 wrote that, …‘The time has come to speak the Adamic language, i.e. the Primordial idiom, which allowed Enoch to converse with the angels.’ The Rosicrucians claim to already possess the knowledge of this language but they make it plain that it cannot be read or understood except by a minority. They proclaim the Age of the Tongue but they impose the Law of Silence on whoever rallies to them. Secrecy is a fundamental element in the Confessio Fraternatis which mentions it at least ten times…held to be inaccessible without a long intiation. Hermes Trismegistus says to Aesclepius, ‘it is an impious thing to divulge to the masses a teaching filled with Divine Majesty, the True Philosophy, which the Confessio extolls as Hermeticist.’  What we’re seeing here is a clear premonition of the marriage of scientism with magic, alchemy, and Kabbala– the capacity of human brain power to take command…  The Rosicrucian manifesto is afforded by the accelerating creation in our 21st century along lines of Egyptian-type chimera of millennia ago… “

Ludibrium — Ludibrium is a word derived from Latin ludus (plural ludi), meaning a plaything or a trivial game. In Latin ludibrium denotes an object of fun, and at the same time, of scorn and derision, and it also denotes a capricious game itself: e.g., ludibria ventis (Virgil), “the playthings of the winds”, ludibrium pelagis (Lucretius), “the plaything of the waves”; Ludibrio me adhuc habuisti (Plautus), “Until now you have been toying with me.”

The term “ludibrium” was used frequently by Johann Valentin Andreae (1587–1654) in phrases like “the ludibrium of the fictitious Rosicrucian Fraternity” when describing the Rosicrucian Order, most notably in his Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, published anonymously in 1616, of which Andreae subsequently claimed to be the author… Andreae compares the world to an amphitheatre where no one is seen in their true light. This conception of the Rosicrucian world as theater was popularized by the French Situationist Guy Debord in Society of the Spectacle (1967)… Paul Arnold translated Andreae’s usage as farce,[2] but this conception has been contested by Frances Yates (Yates), who took Rosicrucianism seriously and who suggested that Andreae’s use of the term implied more nearly some sort of “Divine Comedy“, a dramatic allegory played in the political domain… Similarly, the melancholic Jaques in [Shakespeare’s] As You Like It (1599–1600) asserts, after the fashion of Heraclitus, that “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.” Robert Anton Wilson has suggested that the Priory of Sion is a modern ludibrium: The Priory Of Sion fascinates me, because it has all the appearances of being a real conspiracy, and yet if you look at the elements another way, it looks like a very complicated practical joke by a bunch of intellectual French aristocrats. And half of the time I believe it really is a practical joke by a bunch of intellectual French aristocrats. And then part of the time I think it is a real conspiracy.[3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludibrium

[clip of the transcript] M.H.: “”The Revelation of the Method actually comes from my mentor, James Shelby Downard. I met him in Saint Petersburg, Florida in the mid-1970s and he was a very unusual man. He walked the razor edge between genius and eccentricity, but he had a mind where he was able to see and detect patterns. And also, he had an historian’s mind in terms of the research that he did, and he was the one that set me on this path of the Revelation of the Method. He also called it ‘Must Be’ or ‘The Making Manifest of All that is Hidden.’
“And in the sense that in the very last days – not necessarily the last days of the planet or some eschatology like that – but in the last days of this grand conspiracy, which he centered, and I center also, in Great Britain as an initial starting point for it, and there are many other starting points, but that’s perhaps the major one – that what was set in motion in terms of what we saw with the first atomic bomb blast, the creation and destruction of primordial matter at the Trinity Site on the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude in New Mexico and then the assassination of Kennedy, that killing of the king rite in 1963 close to the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude. And then Mr. Downard added to that the Revelation of the Method: the way that the system would deal with this is by first suppressing it and then letting its own critics and investigators of the phenomenon be the ones who actually emblazoned and embellished their own invulnerability. They’re very much concerned about projecting a sense that they are virtuoso criminal masterminds, which indeed they are, but they’re actually invested in having that set forth because it demoralizes people and it encourages a great deal of the apathy and abulia, or lack of will, that we’re seeing in the people today.” https://gunsandbutter.org/transcript-the-alchemical-processing-of-humanity-t

“Dating back to 2020, there are reports of street lights in cities turning purple. This reported purpling comes from states such as Wisconsin, California, New York, New Mexico, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida. Internationally, this phenomenon has hit Ireland and Vancouver, Canada… The problem is due to the packaging that surrounds the LED street lights. LED lights come in a variety of colors, but most modern ones have wavelengths that combine to create a blue hue as seen by the human eye… The purpling in cities around the world is due to defective LED lights — and the vagarities of the global supply chain.” https://www.motorbiscuit.com/why-street-lights-cities-turning-purple/  

Light of the Vorld – Tvilight Time 

[2013, CNN] “Imagine if a streetlamp knew you were coming. It could announce your arrival from a distance… change color at will, even announce days in advance when its bulb was set to blow… The system is called Tvilight. It was invented by Dutch designer Chintan Shah while a student at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. When flying overseas, he noticed streetlamps lighting streets that, in the middle of the night, were empty and desolate. ‘I started researching,’ he says. ‘I wondered, why are they burning? How much does it cost? Is this a problem? I discovered some amazing numbers.’ Shah found that Europe pays over €10 billion ($13 billion) a year powering streetlights, which accounts for more than 40% of government energy bills… Tvilight’s primary purpose is to conserve energy. But when CNN invited Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde to offer advice as a mentor for Shah, he pointed to the technology’s more artistic potential.

“ ‘How can we use the technology to make environments more human? More sustainable? More natural?’ asks Roosegaarde. ‘We want to make it like it’s your friend, or it’s an animal, or it does things you don’t know about. It’s not just a machine with a feedback loop, but something that has its own intelligence and is willing to negotiate, to hack you in the same way you hack it.’… It is the type of thinking that garners endless scenarios. Depending on the occasion, streetlamps can flicker and change color to create any number of designs… ‘This is not just about saving electricity, it’s not just about the medium, it’s about the message, and what you want it to generate, says Roosegaarde.” https://www.cnn.com/2013/07/18/tech/innovation/tvilight-street-lamps-roosegarde/index.html

“The Zhaga Consortium is an international organization, founded in February 2010,  establishing industry specifications of interfaces for components used in LED luminaires. As of February 2021 it has more than 300 members. The consortium is a member program of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization [1] (IEEE-ISTO.)  Zhaga’s specifications, which are called Books,[2] address electrical, mechanical, optical, thermal and communication interfaces and allow the interoperability of components.[3] Results of Zhaga specifications are that components are interoperable[4] and can be replaced or serviced and that a LED luminaire can be upgraded after installation when new technology is available…”  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhaga_Consortium

Optogenetics and 5G LiFi

Controlling brain circuits with blue light, as far as I know, is currently dependent on the insertion and expression of  ‘opsins’ : light sensitive proteins that were first isolated from algae in1985, enabling  the emergent field of optogenetics. Blue light manipulation of channelrhodopsin (ChR) dna from eukaryotic plant-like algae vectored with viral AAV (adeno-associated virus) is explained in this 2011 TED talk by Edward Boyden who was a 2005 publishing pioneer in optogenetics, along with Karl Deisseroth, a subject in my 2016 post ‘Threat Tech: Neuroweapons.’  Boyden: https://www.ted.com/talks/ed_boyden_a_light_switch_for_neurons

Here’s a few snips from Threat Tech:

“A lifetime transgene viral vector:

2008 –“AAV [adeno-associated virus] was initially considered as a vector by only a few laboratories…[but] with time, it has become among the most commonly used viral vectors… [because] almost all other viral vectors lead to an initial burst of transgene expression that commonly disappears after a relatively short time, measured in weeks. AAV transgene expression, on the other hand, frequently persists for years or the life time of the animal...” www.ncbi.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570152/

Using Light to deliverTouch:

March 2012– “We have recently generated.. transgenic lines of rat in which …some neurons were endowed with photosensitivity by the introduction of the ChR2 gene, coding an algal photoreceptor molecule… We identified that ChR2 is expressed in a certain population of large neurons in the DRG [dorsal root ganglion]..[and] were classified as mechanoreceptive… Each..rat showed a sensory-evoked behavior in response to blue LED flashes on the plantar skin. It is thus suggested that each rat acquired an unusual sensory modality of sensing blue light through the skin as touch-pressure.”

Is it possible that one could hear light, smell light, taste light and touch light? When ChR2 [algal opsin] is targeted to different peripheral sensory neurons by viral vectors… the animals can sense the light as various sensations such as hearing, touch, pain, [etc.].” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26903290/

2019 issue of LED Professional [page59-of-80] “LiFi applications are manifold… streetlights could play a major role in future smart cities. They could provide gigabit bi-directional wireless connectivity. Interestingly, with LiFi this would also be possible during daytime. As illustrated in figure, LiFi can also unlock smart transport systems which are part of our fully connected smart cities. Because cars typically use LEDs or lasers in headlights and taillights, these lights can be used for gigabit inter-car communication, and data communication to street furniture such as traffic lights and street lights… An additional important application area is the internet of things (IoT). The IoT can be classified in the industrial IoT, and the general IoT… This connectivity will act as the ‘nervous system’ for our future things. Assume embedded microprocessors, sensor, memory and machine learning algorithms, LiFi will provide the high bandwidth, low latency connectivity to realize meaningful artificial intelligence…  LiFi is a disruptive…fundamental 5G technology. It can unlock the IoT…[and]offer new solutions to close the digital divide and…have a catalytic effect for the merger of two major industries: • The wireless communications industry and • The lighting industry…” [by Harald Haas]

—same article, page 58: (p58/80) …”Sunlight constitutes a constant interfering signal outside the bandwidth used for data modulation…Therefore, constant sunlight can be removed using electrical filters…[But] In fact, we argue that sunlight is hugely beneficial as it enables solar cell based LiFi receivers where the solar cell acts as data receiver device, and at the same time harvests sunlight as energy.” https://www.led-professional.com/downloads/LpR73_Full_840017.pdf

“In 1979, Francis Crick proposed a novel solution: use light to control neurons (Boyden et al. 2005). Derived from this very idea and with the effort of many scientists, the revolutionary technique of optogenetics was born.  Optogenetics, a genetic method to turn select neurons on or off with light, was invented in 2005 by Karl Deisseroth and Edward Boyden (Boyden et al. 2005). Notably, their development of optogenetics began with a discovery by Peter Hegemann who successfully expressed the blue light-depolarizing opsin, channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), in cell culture (Nagel et al. 2003). Expanding upon these findings, Deisseroth and Boyden virally expressed ChR2 in neurons, and, miraculously, they demonstrated for the first time that neurons could be activated using blue light (Boyden et al. 2005). With millisecond precision, optogenetics enables the fast control of neuronal spiking. As a technique using both optics and genetics, the term opto-genetics was coined from their extraordinary findings.”  https://www.mightexbio.com/what-is-optogenetics  

London-based Cambridge/Cavendish alumnus Francis Crick (1916-2004) shared a Nobel Prize in 1962 and took up the remainder of his life and career at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla (San Diego) California –a bio-inspired think tank co-founded by the polio vaccine maker Jonas Salk –which was under the nominal leadership of former Manhattan Project and General Atomics scientist Frederick de Hoffmann at the time of his 1979 ‘light control’ pronouncement. Crick had also said “any child can make a virus” in reference to the filtrate method of procuring bio-nano-materials, the use of which Jonas Salk himself called metabiology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Crick     

In his Salk Institute capacity as a neuroscientist and theorist, Crick wrote“ ‘The Astonishing Hypothesis [: The Scientific Search for the Soul’].. a 1994 book by scientist Francis Crick about consciousness. Crick, one of the co-discoverers of the molecular structure of DNA, later became a theorist for neurobiology and the study of the brain. …posits that ‘a person’s mental activities are entirely due to the behavior of nerve cells, glial cells, and the atoms, ions, and molecules that make them up and influence them.’ …Crick focuses on the primate visual system and breaks down the prerequisites for conscious experience into several broad subconditions, including some sort of short-term memory and attention mechanism. The book then delves into a brief overview of many neuroscientific topics, ranging from a survey of how neurons function to a description of basic neural circuits and their artificial equivalents. Throughout, Crick cites various experiments which illustrate the narrow points he is making about visual awareness…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astonishing_Hypothesis

Among Crick’s  erstwhile detractors, according to the Wikipedia, are the purveyors of ‘quantum mind’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind ; however, in my opinion, equally an argument of mechanics with a finer spin. When it comes to the meaning of corona as a vessel on the nanoscale, ‘quantum’ energy transactions are subject to material principles. As I grow in familiarity with photonics and nanomaterials, the ‘viruses’ are gaining definition as technologically derived proto-fullerenes. An example of note is a side-by-side comparison of a poliovirus model and a carbon-60 “buckminsterfullerene”. The fullerenes of most interest to me at present are the silicon carbide spheroids:

“also known as carborundum (/ˌkɑːrbəˈrʌndəm/), is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon. A semiconductor, it occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite,.. Naturally occurring moissanite is found in only minute quantities in certain types of meteoritecorundum deposits, and kimberlite… While rare on Earth, silicon carbide is remarkably common in space. It is a common form of stardust found around carbon-rich stars, and examples of this stardust have been found in pristine condition in primitive (unaltered) meteorites.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_carbide  

Shown are structurally identical models of carbon-60 and poliovirus icosahedrons, however the first poliovirus model was a simpler form of dodecahedron, demonstrated by Rosalind Franklin’s group  with a ‘balloon model’ for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (below center).Its shape matches a more recent lab-made quasicrystal (below right), a ‘family’ type of structures discovered in meteorites and nuclear blast craters.

dodecahedrons

Somewhere along the line, and I’m guessing between 1958 and 1962, an important story about what viruses really are got deleted. The masonic lodge backdrop of the polio model photo is not lost on me and valuable insight came from pursuing the Franklin group’s experience with poliovirus. They found that storing their virus in ordinary glass vials caused it to disappear before they could work with it, so they, and all the labs collaborating with them such as the UC Berkeley Virus Lab, switched to special quartz optical glass. Similarly, around the same time, Dr. Vlail Kaznacheyev in Novosibirsk was proving that quartz optical glass permitted photon transmission from ‘dying’ poisoned tissue cultures across a quartz ‘window’ partition, where the ‘death’ photons communicated their ‘pattern’ to healthy tissues and made them sick and dying too.

Here’s the idea: “Fused quartz, fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) in amorphous (non-crystalline) form. This differs from all other commercial glasses in which other ingredients are added which change the glasses’ optical and physical properties, such as lowering the melt temperature. Fused quartz, therefore, has high working and melting temperatures… Compared to other common glasses, the optical transmission of pure silica extends well into the ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, so is used to make lenses and other optics for these wavelengths. Depending on manufacturing processes, impurities will restrict the optical transmission, resulting in commercial grades of fused quartz optimized for use in the infrared, or (then more often referred to as fused silica) in the ultraviolet…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

Super Bowl 2-13-23 commercial ad

Sand and Glass ‘coding’ has been rife in the media since the beginning of Covid—look into the 2023 Super Bowl and commercials for a peak example– and I’ll link more commentary to the Notes in the future.  The ancient Egyptians were masters of glass, as it turns out, making solid objects from processed pure quartz inaccurately described as a type of ‘stonepaste’ faience. New finds of ancient Egypt glass cargo in the last ten years have added to the sophisticated range of their glass-making that includes the known mineral colorants: “Egyptian Blue, also known as calcium copper silicate, is one of the first artificial pigments known to have been used by man. The oldest known example of the exquisite pigment is said to be about 5000 years old, found in a tomb painting dated to the reign of Ka-Sen, the last pharaoh of the First Dynasty… In Egyptian belief, blue was considered as the color of the heavens, and hence the universe.” https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-technology/egyptian-blue-oldest-artificial-pigment-ever-produced-001745

“Ka” is usually translated as “soul” meaning “Second Life,” or the immortal life after life. The first King of Kemet (Egypt) was Ka who was also referred to as the first Scorpion King, similar to the first Babylonian Scorpion kings.

Initiation of the Crow, as Bill Cooper explained it, was the entry ritual into Mithraism –incidentally, introduced in his Mystery Babylon broadcast (#9) referencing Stardust. https://archive.org/details/WilliamCooperMysteryBabylonEdited/Mystery+Babylon+Edited/MB08_02241993_Initiation.mp3

Mithra (Avestan: 𐬨𐬌𐬚𐬭𐬀 MiθraOld Persian: 𐎷𐎰𐎼 Miça), commonly known as Mehr, is the Iranian deity of covenantlightoathjustice and the sun.[1] In addition to being the divinity of contracts, Mithra is also a judicial figure, an all-seeing protector of Truth, and the guardian of cattle, the harvest, and of the Waters. The Romans attributed their Mithraic mysteries to Zoroastrian Persian sources…

Together with the Vedic common noun mitra, the Avestan common noun miθra derives from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mitrám (Mitra), from the root *mi- “to bind”, with the “tool suffix” -tra- “causing to”. Thus, etymologically mitra/miθra means “that which causes binding”, preserved in the Avestan word for “Covenant, Contract, Oath”…In the Zoroastrian calendar, the sixteenth day of the month and the seventh month of the year are dedicated to and are under the protection of Mithra…[which] reflects Mithra’s rank in the hierarchy of the Divinities; the sixteenth day and seventh month are respectively the first day of the second half of the month and the first month of the second half of the year.”   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithra

“Worshippers of Mithras had a complex system of seven grades of initiation and communal ritual meals. Initiates called themselves syndexioi, those “united by the handshake”.[b] They met in underground temples, now called mithraea (singular mithraeum), which survive in large numbers. The cult appears to have had its center in Rome,[3] and was popular throughout the western half of the empire, as far south as Roman Africa and Numidia, as far west as Roman Dacia, as far north as Roman Britain,[4](pp 26–27) and to a lesser extent in Roman Syria in the east… The iconic scenes of Mithras show him being born from a rock, slaughtering a bull, and sharing a banquet with the god Sol (the Sun)… In every mithraeum the centerpiece was a representation of Mithras killing a sacred bull, an act called the tauroctony… The second most important scene after the tauroctony in Mithraic art is the so-called banquet scene.[30](pp 286–287) The banquet scene features Mithras and Sol Invictus banqueting on the hide of the slaughtered bull… One of the most characteristic and poorly-understood features of the Mysteries is the naked lion-headed figure often found in Mithraic temples, named by the modern scholars with descriptive terms such as leontocephaline (lion-headed) or leontocephalus (lion-head). His body is a naked man’s, entwined by a serpent (or two serpents, like a caduceus), with the snake’s head often resting on the lion’s head. The lion’s mouth is often open. He is usually represented as having four wings, two keys (sometimes a single key), and a sceptre in his hand. Sometimes the figure is standing on a globe inscribed with a diagonal cross… Some scholars identify the lion-man as Aion, or Zurvan, or Cronus, or Chronos…” [see the 7 rankings of the Mithraic Mysteries, from the Crow to the Pater] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism
