i just realised, 2020 is a leap year!! like 2012.
Surely some significance in the 22 as well, of 2020 i mean. 22 is the number of cards in the tarot. joyce was born on 2nd feb, 2/2.
i guess as well, that after 2012, where there are 2 2s, 2020 is the next one with 2 2s. next one of these won't be till 2032, another leap year obvs.
theres some stuff about 9/11 - far, reaching, mysterious consequences and so on. we've been here before, hes said it in a later blog about the rise of the alt right. he says it polarised people. strikes me this gap idea has been around a while, like the notion that the gap between rich and poor is getting wider and so on. humanity is stretching to breaking point in terms of extremes of experience, opinion, belief. i've heard this again and again.
i bet he's thinking now, in 2020, 'oh shit! corona is bigger than 9/11, i need to go back and check the numbers'.
i've been saying to everyone i speak to on the phone that i think this (corona) is bigger than that (9/11), this is THE event of our lives.
interesting how he mentions 'addicts of the red pill' in 2012! pretty sure i only heard that phrase fairly recently...
he refers to the different cards as 'trumps' which is kinda prophetic in a way.. nice image here for the star:
i like how he rechristens synchronicities as 'non consensus events'.
next event he talks about is 2008 economic crash. again, there are obvious parallels to what is going on now with corona, and the constant professing, by nearly everyone, of impending financial collapse. rishi on telly: 'i'm being really really honest'.
he mentions protests in 2011.
so 2001 (9/11) -> 2008 (Crash) -> 2011 (Protest) -> 2012 (Ritual). the spiral.
he talks about a phoenix rising from the ashes of the olympic flames - obviously my mind jumped right to bat!!
its kinda interesting as well that the current olympics for this year got cancelled. i know we've had one since 2012, but i can't think where. was it russia? just checked, rio.
he says something interesting about good symbols, that they contain ambiguity, they cannot just be one thing, they have to contain a shadow side. i suppose classic would be yin yang, which is pictured in the previous blog, when he's explaining enantiodromia. thinking back to what he says about blake, he says blake is always telling us to have double vision, rational mind combined with imagination, you've to hold the two opposing things together. like brexit! i order to understand it properly, you need to hold paradoxical opinions together as one.
theres a nice poem at the end of this blog, in a comment.
