The Real Three R's...

Somewhere along the way, someone took the thinking out of schooling.

Notice how one of the books is set at a different angle? And, why is it placed at the foundation, knocking the rest of the pyramid out of alignment. Think this is an accident? I think somebody has been messing with this system for a long, long time. And what might the apple represent?

The 3R's (representing the SOUND of the words, not the first letters) were a staple when I was in GRAMMAR school, but I recently discovered that one of them is an imposter. Can you guess which one? It's a pretty obvious "which one of these things is not like the others" situation, an obvious and sloppy manipulation, but we all fell for it.

WE'VE ALL BEEN LIED TO!

A-RITHMETIC is not part of language. It does not belong in the realm of mind, but of matter.  In classical terms, it is not part of the Trivium, but part of the Quadrivium. It certainly does not belong in GRAMMAR school.

The more I learn, the more it becomes clear that my 21 years of schooling was intended not to teach me how to learn, but only to program me in a particular way according to the agendas of those who contributed to the programming process, the result of which actually PREVENTS a person from learning how to learn. 

This book, written by Sister Miriam Joseph in 1937, appears to be one of the early subversions of ancient methods of discovering how to know truth.  On page 8, she names the 3 R's.

Reading, Writing...RECKONING was the original trinity of teaching. 

What is reckoning? It is THINKING. 

Reading, writing, and THINKING.

Somewhere along the way, someone took the thinking out of schooling, quite literally.

"Chappie" and the Transhumanist Agenda

I watched the movie Chappie last night with my 11-year-old son.  

Here is the spoiler alert, so stop reading now if you want to see the movie for yourself!!

What I found most interesting was the creator-mommy-daddy-child dynamic.  It was also interesting that in the end, they succeeded not only in installing a completely artificial intelligence into a robot, but also that the robot then figures out how to transfer the consciousness of the "creator" into a robot as he is dying.  And then in the end, they seem to succeed in downloading the consciousness of the mommy character who had already died, into a newer robot with a more humanoid face.

The plot is basically this.  The main protagonist, Dev (Deon Wilson), is a programmer working for a weapons corporation called Tetravaal, and is responsible for designing the world's first robotic police force.  The story is set in Johanessburg, South Africa.  In his spare time, Dev has been working on creating artificial intelligence.  Shortly into the movie, he succeeds, and wants to download the "program" which is a .DAT file, onto one of the droids scheduled for disposal due to mechanical defects. 

Sigourney Weaver, the CEO of Tetravaal, says no way, because of the insurance implications.  So he steals the droid with the intent to do it anyway.  We are given a little dose of moral relativism here, conveying the message that the stealing of property is justified by the "benevolent" intent of the "creator," Dev, and also by the contemptuous and controlling attitude of the CEO, Sigourney Weaver's character, Michelle Bradley. 

On his way home with the robot parts, Dev is kidnapped by a band of not-very-intelligent criminals who plan to force him to give them the "remote control" so they can turn off the robot police force.  They assume that because the robots are machines, that they must have remote controls.  They find the robot parts in the van, and decide to allow Dev to install the artificial intelligence program onto the defective robot.  He does this, and the robot comes to life, behaving like a child who is scared.  

There are three characters in the band of criminals.  Four, actually, but the black guy gets killed almost immediately.  I guess that is somewhat interesting in and of itself, as the movie is set in South Africa, and was written by a South African husband and wife team.  

The surviving band consists of Ninja, Yolandi, and Amerika.  Ninja is their leader.  He is violent and crazed, and very afraid of the man to whom he owes a large sum of money.  Ninja is a man who is very dim intellectually, and driven by primal fear almost exclusively.  He takes on the role of Chappie's "daddy."  As Chappie's daddy, he is manipulative and abusive, but doesn't seem to really want any harm to come to Chappie.  He just wants to get his way first, and does seem to have some level of empathy as the movie progresses.  I find this character to represent the secondary psychopath, as described by Benjamin Karpman.  

Yolandi is the female of the group, and it seems she and Ninja are romantically connected.  She wears a shirt that says "sex" across the top, and she has very short blonde bangs.  She takes on the role of Chappie's "mommy," nurturing and teaching Chappie, and explains to Chappie what the "soul" is, and how after the body dies, the soul moves on, and goes to "that other place."  Chappie knows that his batteries are running low at this point.

Amerika seems to be the muscle of the group, the "bad ass."  He does little more that count narcotics and drive the van.  He does teach Chappie some vulgar language, like "motherf--ker," which Chappie interestingly transposes into "f--k mother."

Dev takes on the role of Chappie's "maker."  He uses this word specifically many times, and tries to convince Chappie not to hurt people or commit crimes.  He seems to want to teach Chappie to paint more than anything else.

There is also a character named Vincent Moore, played by Hugh Jackman.  Vincent has created a much larger robot, and appears to be very jealous that Dev's smaller versions won out.  

He has a moral objection to the robots being able to control themselves, as opposed to his "Moose" which is controlled by a human, stating that only humans can act in ethical and humane ways.  Of course, at the end of the movie, he is authorized by Sigourney Weaver to unleash the Moose on Chappie and the band of criminals, and he acts in what seems to be very sadistic and inhumane ways, seeming to enjoy killing. 

Ninja sacrifices himself to Moose, but just as the giant robot is going to kill him, Yolandi steps in and shoots a rocket at the Moose.  It then fires several bullets through her body in slow motion, and she dies.  Chappie then gets really mad, and blows up the Moose.  Ninja then displays great remorse at the passing of Yolandi.

Dev is mortally wounded, and Chappie takes him back to Tatravaal HQ, and downloads Dev's consciousness into a Test robot.  After Dev awakens in the robot, he devises a way to transmit Chappie's consciousness into another robot in the field remotely, before Chappie's battery runs out.  Chappie also beats the crap out of Hugh Jackman, and then says "Now I forgive you, bad man" to Jackman's broken and bloody body.

Chappie, Robot Dev, and Ninja are shown burying Yolandi.  Tetravaal is shut down, and an immediate moratotium is put on robot production.  The end shows Chappie looking at the downloaded "consciousness" of Yolandi, which is presumably how he figured out how to load a human consciousness onto a computer device.  The device looks like a flash drive, and says "MOMMY CONSCIOUSNESS BACK UP TEST." Chappie accesses Tetravaal's servers remotely from their hideout, says Chappie says, "I'll see you soon, mommy," and initiates the construction of a new robot.  The movie ends with Chappie saying "Now we are both black sheeps, Mommy," as he presses the "Y" on the keyboard, activting the new robot, with a white humanoid face, opening its metallic eyes.

On the surface, this seems like a stupid movie.  However, when I look at it through the lens of trying to make sense of what I see happening in the world around me, and also trying to figure out what those in control of this world are trying to accomplish, it takes on a much deeper meaning.  I think I've probably only scratched the surface of the symbolism in this movie.  Of course, I could be wrong.  Maybe it's just a goofy movie with a strange mix of violence and humor.  Of course, there are a couple of big names in there, and it seems to have been very well-funded. 

Watch the movie, decide for yourself, and let me know what you think!!!

Systems of Money

Despite the overwhelming historical evidence that all systems of money and barter are not only imperfect, but fatally flawed, this is exactly the type of system we find ourselves in currently, and it does not appear that this system is likely to change substantially in the near future.  The system is built upon a foundation of compulsory exchange, reflected in the latin expression Quid Pro Quo, meaning “this for that.”  The fatal error in this type of system lies in the requirement of a particular form of reciprocation from the receiving party, within an established time frame.  It is this need to control and tabulate all transactions at a microcosmic level that is an abomination of Universal Natural Law, which always balances itself, reaching across the entire Universe instantaneously to find the balancing action that will best serve the evolution of consciousness.  The usurpation of control of this balancing at the low level of human consciousness is an expression of humans arrogantly believing that they can do a better job than the Creator of the Universe.  This leads to an expanding separation from the Source of our Creation, and eventually disintegration of the false system of control.

One need only superficially study the history of previous cultures and societies which have established such systems, such as the Roman Empire, in order to see that there is a systematic progression toward avarice and decadence, along with an asymptotic gravitational movement of wealth in the direction of those in control, creating an imbalance that eventually rebalances itself through the apocalyptic collapse of the society.  Unfortunately, when this happens, humans have not yet been intelligent enough, courageous enough, nor morally equipped to resist the temptation to set up a new system out of the ashes of the old, dooming the future to repeat in an endless cycle of suffering an enslavement. 

On the other hand, voluntary, self-motivated, unconditional service to others with faith and expectation of reciprocation from the Universal Field, with no way of knowing when, where, or how this is to occur, is acting in accordance with these Universal Principles.  The only type of economic environment that can sustain itself indefinitely is one in which the individual is allowed to grow, learn, and develop at his own pace, and at some point begins to experience an excitement within himself, leading to a burning desire to do something in service to his fellow planetary inhabitants.  This motivates the individual to give something of value, using his unique gifts and talents, to other individuals according to their needs and values.  

Giving of one’s gifts and talents without attachment to a particular form of remuneration creates a ripple in the Universal Morphogenic Field, leading to an imbalance which must be followed by a natural balancing force or activity, attracting something of equal value to the giver in exact accordance with his desires.  This is expressed in what Isaac Newton called the Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action.  All religious belief systems understand this law, and have described it in various forms, such as “ask and it shall be given.”  The word ask in this form represents the initial gift.  To give, in the language of the Universe, is a powerful form of asking.  What will be given in return will be in precise accordance with laws that are beyond our capacity to understand at the level of the physical mind.  Expecting a particular form of return, or worse yet, requiring a specific form, is an attempt to manipulate Natural Law using mortal will, according to the desires and whims of the lower, or outer, form.  This is a recipe for discomfort, disappointment, and suffering. 

Regardless of the flaws in the system, however, a method can exist for reciprocating value in gratitude for value given, while acting in accordance with Higher Universal Principles.  Currently, we use money most commonly to fill this purpose.  Typically, when a service is provided, money can given in return.  Conversely, when money is given, a service can be provided in return.  All transactions must be accompanied by a feeling of gratitude, or the system begins to deteriorate.  This is what we are seeing currently within the global economic system that has been imposed upon us.

Shame on the NFL

What a great made-for-TV movie it would have made to see one member of the Buffalo Bills, when the plans to go to Detroit this week were announced, stand up, and say "No, coach, I'm gonna stay and help these people dig out."  Then, one by one, the players would stand up, and begin an epic slow-clap moment.  Oh, how the fans would have embraced them for this simple gesture.

But that's not exactly how it happened...

Bills Taken to Airport via SNOWMOBILE!News at 11...

At least thirteen people are dead in Buffalo, and roofs are beginning to collapse, but the Godlike Gladiators who play for the Corporate-Owned Buffalo Bills, of the National Foot-Ba'al league were rushed to the airport a few days ago via snowmobile so that they can be worshipped for another week by the mindless mass of useless flesh who willingly support their absurd salaries and their exhibition of violent behavior, on and off the field.

Forget that the Buffalo Bills have totally sucked for the last 20+ years, disappointing their loyal fanatics week after week.  Forget that last week in particular, many fans seemed to have given up on their beloved heroes.  Even if the Bills were Playoff contenders this year, the following behavior is inexcusable for a human being, but I guess I'm not surprised they all went along with it, following their orders, paying homage to the mighty dollar above the well-being of their fellow men and women.

Having experienced this storm from within it's grips, I can tell you that there are indeed a lot of individuals in this area who will go to great lengths to help their neighbors, and this was very evident, despite advice from the authorities to remain in homes and stay disconnected from each other. Buffalonians lived up to their admittedly self-proclaimed reputation as the "City of Good Neighbors"

Don't you think that it would have been a beautiful gesture if the team collectively said "NO" to the NFL's order (I speculate) to get to Detroit so the game can be played?  Hell, it would have been great to see just ONE of those primadonnas stand up and denounce the corporate order in favor of helping the community, even in some small way, recover from what has truly been a crisis.  Plenty of businesses are still closed, and most schools are closed at least for Monday, some for the entire week.

Would it have been that terrible if the NFL let this particular game just slide?  Or if the Bills players and personnel just collectively called in sick?  I know I wouldn't have wept.

But, perhaps this is the best way it could have happened.  Now we can see the deeply ingrained lack of personal integrity, among players who go on to preach and write books about "character."  It is an interesting word, and one that takes on an entirely new meaning when you realize that is what these people are.  Mere characters, "useful idiots" playing a game to hold the attention of the ignorant masses of people in this country while things are being done in front of their eyes to take away freedom after freedom.

It is clear now, for all to see, what the NFL values, and also what the individual players, coaches, and personnel on this crummy team value.  They value their jobs over their neighbors.  They value their personal bank accounts over the health, safety, and well-being of their neighbors.  I am not making this claim as a speculation, it is simply a truth that is evident through choice and action. 

Skip to 10:17 in the following video for a GREAT soundbyte.  This is maybe the first time I have felt PROUD of a politician. 

Shame on the NFL, and shame on each and every Buffalo Bill.

And as they say in Canada, "PEACE OOOT!!"

Geoengineering and the Return of the Pharaoh...a rambling diatribe

All news outlets are running stories this morning about how fatal and deadly the snowfall in the Buffalo area has been.  Clearly, this is because those in power are taking the next step to advance their dominion, ultimately leading them back from whence they came, the fall of the Watchers. :-) 

I am not surprised that the propaganda disseminators we call "news channels" have taken the cue once more from their masters and unleashed a barrage of fear-mongering messages about the recent snowfall in Buffalo.  Some things to consider:

I would not call this recent snowfall "deadly."  Yes, there were people who died, and each death brings with it loss, and sadness, but the storm itself was very benign.  A tsunami that wipes out a city is deadly.  A tornado that picks up cars and throws people into barns is deadly. Snowfall is not deadly, it just piles up...and it looks beautiful.

So why report this storm as deadly?  

Why not post images like the above?

Why incite fear into the hearts of the people?

Here's why.

The emotion of fear will now be imprinted on the hearts of those who watch the news, and it will be connected with the beautiful snow that surrounds us right now.  People will, on an unconscious level, be more inclined to feel fearful of snow.

Once people are fearful of snow, those who wish to rule can enter stage left, and offer a solution to the terrible problem of snow.  Weather modification is that answer.  The question is, did weather modification help to create the very conditions by which it will be presented to the public as a need?

People in high places have been experimenting with weather modification for decades. 

This is usually put forth as a philanthropic venture, the idea being that if we

can manipulate the weather, then we can prevent disasters.

The other side of the coin, however, is that if we can prevent them,

then perhaps we can also cause them.

Those who govern seek to protect their purpose, which is to rule.  A government needs someone or something to govern, just as a protector needs someone or something to protect.  If we, the people, do not need to be governed or protected, then the government, including those who work within it, becomes obsolete, and dissolves.

So let's start at the beginning.  At one time, we humans were ruled by the Gods. 

People feared the Gods, and made sacrifices to please them.

In Genesis 6 it is written that the sons of God engaged in sexual relations with the 

daughters of men, and that from these relations, a race of giants, or Nephilim, 

was born.  This was the fall.  These were the fallen angels...the Watchers.

Some time later, we were ruled by Pharaohs, who claimed to be hybrid God-men.

If the blood of angels had previously mixed with the blood of humans, 

specifically male angels and female humans, could it be that a race of hybrid 

God-men was actually created?  Could they have survived the flood?

  I believe this to be the seed of the Pharaonic bloodline, and the reason the Pharaohs

believed themselves to be gods.  

Then they fell another step.

The emperors believed themselves to be Gods, or at least quasi-Gods,

but they were a step lower than the Pharaoh.

Then another step...

Kings are men, but inherit the right to rule over others because

they come from a holy bloodline, like most of our presidents.

The Divine Right of Kings states that inheritance is what

gives some the right to rule.  This continues today as

the Royal Family.

Kind of silly, but kind of sad, how many idiots continue to worship these people.

But maybe things are changing.  Maybe lots of people are beginning to wake up, and see tyranny for what it is.  Maybe we are collectively beginning to realize that we are being tricked, and imprisoned by our own fear, with our own consent.  And maybe those in power are afraid they are in danger of losing their grip on humanity.  They have fallen pretty far from the days of the original apostasy, and I think they mean to make their way back to Heaven, even if it means destroying everything in their way.  Guess who is in their way...we are.

So what could be next, and what does any of this have to do with the snow outside?

If they can control the weather, they are one step closer to becoming Gods again, and they will rule all of us by fear...if we let them.

It has been pointed out that our president bears some resemblance to Akhenaten

And the man was called a savior when he took the reins.

It seems to me that this government, which was constructed by our ancestors and has been distorted and sanctified through the years by We the People, is controlled by a cabal of intraspecific cleptoparasites, a term coined by Richard Grove.  These sociopathic individuals, who have been purifying their bloodlines for many generations (i.e. inbreeding), exhibit a sort of cannibalistic solipsism, and their Machiavellian behavior is most consistent with Satanic Doctrine.

"And if a man smite you on one cheek, smash him on the other! 

Smite him hip and thigh, for self-preservation is the highest law!"

This quote is from the Satanic Bible (Section III, paragraph 7).  It is quite the opposite of what we all know, deep down, to be the truth.  That we are here to help our fellow human beings, to act out of kindness, to do no harm, to feel empathy, bliss, and abundance, and to love one another.  We all experience emotions of anger, and hatred, and seek revenge, and have terrible thoughts regarding the well-being of others, but if you look beneath these emotions, you will see that they are not representative of who you really are.

So don't believe the hype.  

The weather is not out to get us. 

Fear will lead only to deeper and deeper imprisonment. 

The forces which truly control the weather are powerful indeed, 

and are worthy of awe, and appreciation. 

The Green Lantern and the Mark of the Beast...

So this morning I got thinking about the movie version of Green Lantern, with Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, the emotionally damaged, reckless, self-destructive test pilot who is the unlikely choice to be the next Green Lantern after Abin Sur suffers a fatal injury at the hands of the evil Parallax entity, represented by the color yellow.

I'd like to go through the plot of the movie, and show how truths have been manipulated in order to confuse you and to strip you of your personal power an connection to the Divine.  I'll propose an alternative plot line, which will not be much different from the actual plot of the movie, but have some very important subtle differences.  In this episode, I'm going to focus a bit on colors, and what they mean.

I'll be referring to the chakras a lot here, so for reference I've included this image of what these human energy centers might look like.

O.K., so let's start with green.  In our reality, green is the color of nature, of balance, of newness, and of life.  You can verify this using your own sensory perception and direct experience.  Look around you next time you are out in nature.  What color predominates?  How does it make you feel when there is a lot of green surrounding you?  If you pay attention to your own emotions, and trust your own intuition, you will discover these truths inside yourself.  It is not necessary to look outside to discover the truth.  Why do you think guests on television shows often wait backstage in a "green room"?

Robert Frost, my very favorite poet, wrote:

"Nature's first green is gold, its hardest hue to hold"

What this means to me is that the green that emerges in the spring, in the yearly cycle of life and death, is precious, and is associated with a feeling of unconditional love.

Green is the color of the 4th, or heart, or Anahata Chakra.  This energy center is associated with unconditional love, and forgiveness when it is functioning properly.

It's negative expression, interestingly, manifests as abandonment, selfishness, and ego aggrandizement.  Relating to the plot of the movie, the early life of Hal Jordan is tainted with the traumatic event of his father being killed in a test-pilot crash, while he looked on.  So, right at the beginning, the negative expression of this chakra is activated by invoking a feeling of abandonment.  Interesting, right?

In the movie, the writers manipulate the truth of the heart chakra, telling the audience that green is the color of WILL, rather than LOVE.  They also pit WILL (good) against the arch enemy of FEAR (bad).  Now, any good Donnie Darko fan will immediately realize that Fear is not opposite Will, but rather Love on the lifeline.  :-)

True, we can't just lump everything into two categories and then just deny everything else, but this is the exact type of manipulation and disinformation that is being used in today's nefarious and insidious form of mind control.  There is an attempt to convince a group of intellectually vulnerable subjects that life is simple.  Then, the claim is made that a truth is not a truth, that A is B, or that 2 + 2 = 5.  In Green Lantern, this slight of hand is carried out early on in the movie, and then emotional triggers are used to lock the erroneous information into place.

Back here in reality, speaking in terms of chakras, it is the 5th, or throat, or Vissudha chakra that is associated with personal power, or WILL, and its color is BLUE.

So, if we are to create a story that is accurate to our direct experience of reality, and to our intuition and collective unconscious, we would create a Blue hero to represent the power of Will.  Instead, the lanterns are Green, and they are surrounded by dark imagery throughout the movie.  Superimposing the color green on these ideas, behaviors, and concepts creates a feeling of cognitive dissonance within the self, and prepares the moviegoer (mind-control victim) for manipulation and new idea implantation.

Does the landscape in the background of this image look anything like nature as you currently know it?

Looks kind of post-apocalyptic to me.  In the movie, this type of dark imagery is associated with "the good guys," donning green gear, and shining green lights with their fancy rings.  This, by the way, smacks of a much deeper, more diabolical twist on the matter of the Heart Chakra and the Power of Love (Huey Lewis reference intended.)

A man by the name of Aleister Crowley was the 20th century's most well-known occult magician, calling himself "The Beast 666." He appears on the cover of the Beatle's Sgt. Pepper album, and continues to be highly influential in today's illuminati-controllled entertainment industry.  He is famous for decreeing, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law," which is a favorite saying of those who choose to follow the satanic doctrine of self-preservation as the highest moral good.

In his "Book of the Law" Crowley begins with "Love is the Law, Love under Will."  This is important, because within this statement is the acknowledgement that Love is indeed the greatest power in the Universe.  In the movie, the Green Lanterns have harnessed the power of WILL, and control it via their rings.  However, the juxtaposition that is carried out, when Love is brought under the control of the individual's will, represents the beginning of all problems human.  This is original sin.  It is the moment in the spiraling upward of the ever advancing kundalini energy when individual consciousness moves from the Heart Chakra into the Throat Chakra as the voice, but rather than being controlled by the divine Will within, it is controlled by the physical mind without, or what we call ego.  It is this movement that was sold to us as a banishment from the Garden of Eden.  I believe, however, that it was more like a conscious exit, the beginning of a journey, such as in the story of the Prodigal Son.  This movement is manifested in the mistaken belief that we humans, we tiny little creatures hurling through the vastness of space on this little piece of dust we call Earth, can control the machinations of our environment.  This is the belief that has led us to this tumultuous transhumanistic and technocratic time in our history, and it may well be our undoing if we don't wake up soon.

Continuing along the plot line of Green Lantern, the nemesis entity is named Parallax, and is a form of yellow energy associated with Fear.

Back here in reality, the color Yellow is associated with the 3rd, or solar plexus, or Manipura chakra.

This energy center is responsible for your ability to act courageously and represents power.  It is located at the upper abdomen, and is connected to the pancreas, which is the organ responsible for getting fuel into your cells.  When this center is functioning properly, you feel that you have plenty of energy to do the things you want to do in the world, and in your life.  When it is not, you feel powerless, and might take on a victim mentality.

Isn't it interesting that in the movie, the writers/producers/controllers demonize the color yellow?  Is a sense, they are vilifying your innate ability to get things done, to courageously stand up for yourself and others, and to affect positive change in the world.  What possible motive could people have for making the ignorant masses feel powerless and helpless?  Hmmm.that's a tough one.  Wink, wink…

So which chakra is ACTUALLY responsible for the feeling we call fear?  It is the 2nd, or sacral, or Svadhishthana chakra, and it is ORANGE in color.

The positive expression of this chakra is manifested in creativity, compassion, family, and sexuality. 

So how would I rearrange the plot of this movie to make it more true to reality, and re-establish our connection with our true spiritual nature?  Here goes…

Green Lantern can still be green, but the Green Lantern core represents Love, not Will.  Hal Jordan is specifically chosen at this particular time because of the following progression.

Hal Jordan loses his father in an accident, as a young boy.  The colors and lessons here have to do with red, the first chakra, family, and the feeling of safety.  The color is red.  This is the beginning of his personal journey. 

As the boy grows a bit older, he falls in love with a pretty girl, Carol Ferris in the movie, played by Blake Lively.  This too, can stay pretty much the same.  Orange is the color here.  Maybe there is an orange flower in her hair or something.  This falling in love represents a movement out of the first chakra and into the second, and helps Hal resolve and let go of some of the feelings of abandonment her previously suffered.  His connection with this girl help him feel connected on a deeper level.  These feelings, however, can also lead to negative expressions such as fear and fighting, as another boy, Hector Hammond, also loves the girl.  Self-esteem begins to develop, and maybe to avoid fighting with Hector, or hurting him or making him feel bad, Hal retreats into his own world, and becomes a bit of a loner.  This moves him into the third chakra.

He expresses courage in the world by following in his father's footsteps as a test pilot.  He is excellent at it, albeit a bit reckless.  Again, the plot is essentially the same, but the feelings and reasons behind the behaviors and events are more true to form.  He strives for autonomy, and is prone to temper tantrums and ego-driven behaviors.  The predominant color here is yellow.  This movement inward helps him better deal with the negative feelings associated with love for a girl, where jealousy and fear can lead to fighting and violence.  Enter Parallax.  This is the force, represented along these new lines as a Red-Orange entity, like fire, and it attempts to drag him back down into the first and second chakra energies, through triggers of fear and blame and guilt.

At this point he is sought out and chosen by the ring of Abin Sur, as he is now ready to move upward into the fourth chakra, the green energy center of unconditional love.  This movement will potentially unlock his ability to let go of his ego, and fall more deeply in love with the girl.  It will allow him to forgive himself for his father's death, and to forgive others for any ways in which he feels they may have wronged him. 

This advancement will not be easy, however, and the struggle that ensues involves a battle against Parallax, the fire demon who has fallen back into the lower realms, and tries like a crab to prevent others from crawling out of the pot.

The victory is finally attained not by force and destruction, as these things merely serve to make fear more powerful.  In the end, it is forgiveness that causes Parallax to vaporize and disappear.

The sequel is then set up as Sinestro, having found a Yellow Ring, representing now the power of the third chakra, places the ring on his finger.  Now, this negative energy associated with the Solar Plexus is far more powerful than that primal energy of fear and jealousy, as it can be used in a much more nefarious fashion.  It becomes the classic struggle against the satanic forces of self-preservation and aggrandizement of the individual at the expense of others.

In the sequel, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Core will go on a journey to find the elusive, difficult to see Blue Energy, representing the Vissudha Chakra and the power of the Word, the creative power of the Universe.  They will learn that it is not the harnessing of these energies that will give them the greatest power, but the allowing of these energies to flow through them, according not to their individual wills, but the will of the Great Spirit, the ALL, the I AM THAT I AM.

So, I hope you've enjoyed reading along with my line of thinking, and I'm interested to hear what people might think.  After all, everything I've ever said could very well be a load of crap. :-)

PS: Isn't it interesting that we've been programmed to associate the color green with money, and with jealousy?  Hmmm….
