dot com. And I think you'll enjoy if you like

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,120
this analysis that I do of Twin Peaks. It's based

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,320
on the essay that I wrote that is in the book.

8
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:23,320
It's one of the chapters, and it's selling like a

9
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,519
hot cake, like one single hotcake that has been broken

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,359
into miraculous loaves to give everyone hotcakes, miraculous hotcake loaves.

11
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:36,679
And again you're gonna like this. I'm re uploading this

12
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,079
analysis because YouTube kept slapping it with copyright infringement, so

13
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:41,960
I had to change some of the images and pictures.

14
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:45,560
And enjoy the Twin Peaks analysis. And if you would

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,880

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,359
gonna like it.

17
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: If you like movies. It's it's not just film analysis.

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:01:03,920
It's like Roger Ebert on Acid. You my guardian angel,

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,120
take my song.

20
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: And you're listening to Esoteric Hollywood. I'm your host, Jay

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,079
Dyer Esoteric Hollywood is where I deconstruct the deeper messages, symbols,

22
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:29,239
and predictive programming subtexts that underlie modern film. In this show,

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,239
we will be interviewing artists, experts, and numerous people in

24
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,400
media fields, and this will all be based on my

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,480
years of research and compared to religion, propaganda, psychological warfare,

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,280
secret societies and espionage.

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Esoteric Hollywood decodes the biggest movies.

28
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:50,519

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,959
new eyes as we enter Esoteric Hollywood.

31
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,759
Speaker 3: Welcome to Esoteric Hollywood. This is David Lynch. I want

32
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:37,039
to recommend the analysis of Jay Dyer, the only Twin

33
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:41,960
Peaks analysis that I can give the David Lynch Seal

34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,759
of approval to.

35
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:49,319
Speaker 2: Way to go, Jay, Welcome, Welcome. You're listening to Esoteric

36
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Hollywood tonight. The owls are not what they seem. And

37
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:56,439
as you heard in that introduction, David Lynch himself has

38
00:02:56,479 --> 00:03:03,039
given Jay's analysis the official seal of approval for correctly

39
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:09,919
decoding the mysterious nineteen ninety ninety one drama Twin Peaks.

40
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Twin Peaks soon to be rebooted in a perfect topic

41
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:25,120
for esoteric Hollywood serial drama, crime drama, mystery, psychological thriller, supernatural, horror, satire,

42
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,639
soap opera, spoof.

43
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Nothing like it if you don't know. Twin Peaks follows

44
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800
the investigation headed by.

45
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: FBI special agent Dale Cooper played by cal McLaughlin, looking

46
00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:44,759
into the murder of Homecoming Queen Laura Palmer played.

47
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,879
Speaker 1: By Cheryl Lee.

48
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:51,159
Speaker 2: Pilot episode first broadcast April eighth, nineteen ninety on ABC.

49
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:55,759
Several more episodes were produced, and the series was renewed

50
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,560
for a second season that aired until nineteen ninety one.

51
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,960
The show's title comes from a small fictional Washington town

52
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:10,639
named twin Peaks. A TV Guide in nineteen ninety seven

53
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:18,120
ranked twin Peaks number twenty five on the twenty five

54
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Greatest show excuse me, forty five on the Greatest Shows.

55
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: Of all times.

56
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,319
Speaker 2: So quite a bit of a philosophical depth at work

57
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:27,360
in twin Peaks.

58
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,439
Speaker 1: So we are going to decode this in hardcore.

59
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,319
Speaker 2: I don't know how else to say it. You're not

60
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,319
going to get this kind of analysis anywhere else. I

61
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,480
found one other guy who did a pretty decent work

62
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:47,639
decoding a couple things that I missed when I went

63
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,480
through the series for I think the third time recently.

64
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,439
This time around, though this a few months ago. I

65
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,920
really think I got the big picture. I think of

66
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,079
pretty much nailed it. But I want you to give

67
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:06,040
me some feedback. If you think I'm wrong, if I guess,

68
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,759
if I miss something, if I got something wrong, please

69
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,040
do correct me. This is not a cult yet. I

70
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:20,279
will be opening my specialty cult in La only for supermodels,

71
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,720
a self help massage spa parlor with me as the

72
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:31,360
head hierarch of this cult. But it's females only, and

73
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,920
prefer preferences are given to supermodels. You're the only ones

74
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:39,120
that are gonna be saved. We're gonna call it dire netics,

75
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,160
and I'll be the head of the cult.

76
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: Like l A. Round Hubbard, I learned just beneath the surface.

77
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Actually I should do this in the David Lynch Boy

78
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:52,319
so it would make a lot more sense.

79
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: I learned that just beneath the surface, there's another world,

80
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,240
and still different worlds as you dig deeper.

81
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: That's a quote from an interview with David Lynch.

82
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,199
Speaker 2: Now, if you ever since the flimsy thin Veneer of

83
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,040
what parades itself as the good old us of A

84
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,079
and you felt a bit like you've been sold to fake.

85
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:20,879
Then David Lynch's Twin Peaks is a series.

86
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: That you would love.

87
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:28,199
Speaker 2: More like an initiatory experience than a mirror television series.

88
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,800
I would argue that Twin Peaks kind of functions as

89
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,360
a hilariously terrifying vision of the real America, right that

90
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:40,560
lurks beneath the CD underworld of the facade of white

91
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,639
picket fences in a kind of surrealist nightmare fashion. If

92
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,639
you've ever seen Lynch's Blue Velvet, now, much like the

93
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:55,000
picturesque severed ear on the Beautiful Lawn in the nineteen

94
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,439
eighty six comedic horror Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks might even

95
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,759
prop be titled an esoteric, dark satirical soap opera. As

96
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,639
I said, so perfect for Jay's analysis.

97
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Now.

98
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,759
Speaker 2: There are countless reviews, essays, and analyzes of Lynch and

99
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,279
Twin Peaks, but almost all of them, in my view,

100
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:18,560
miss the complex system of symbology and hidden meanings that

101
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,639
relate directly to what I would say is pretty high

102
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:29,199
level occultism, synchronicity, surrealist philosophy, and especially with Lynch sort

103
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,759
of far eastern Zen notions. Now, before we go there,

104
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,319
I think we should discuss the setting. The set and

105
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,120
setting Twin Peaks is aptly described.

106
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,519
Speaker 1: As quintessential Lynch. Fans will often.

107
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: Speak of scenes, even in movies outside of the Lynch corpus,

108
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,879
as being Lynchian. So David Lynch has actually been able

109
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:57,160
to kind of create his own dreamscape atmosphere, right that

110
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:00,759
you just recognize if you've watched a lot of David

111
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:04,319
Lynch and you see it elsewhere. I think of recent

112
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:09,480
films that I saw, like Nicholas Reffins, Oh what was

113
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:17,240
that God No Forgiveness or whatever? The one with Ryan

114
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,680
Casling or something or that. I didn't really enjoy that

115
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,800
film that much.

116
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:21,959
Speaker 1: But.

117
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: It had quite a few David Lynchian scenes, for sure.

118
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,480
So No, what is the name of that moved God?

119
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:32,840
Only forget? Only God forgive?

120
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Something like that. Some bizarre or strange ideas. But and

121
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,799
and some good cinematography, but kind of lost in the

122
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,679
meaning of all that.

123
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: But and I consider myself somewhat proficient at decoding films. Now,

124
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:56,960
nothing stands out with that epithet of being Lynchian than

125
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,159
this surrealist neo Noah melodrama that magically captures the spirit

126
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,600
of America itself. As I argue, and this differs from

127
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,960
later Lynch that's focused I think on Hollywood, or what

128
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,240
I call the Hollywood Trilogy, being Lost Highway, Maholland Drive

129
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,360
In inlann Empire Twin Peaks is more akin to his

130
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:22,320
nineteen ninety film based on the novel Wild at Heart.

131
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: Sorry, Nicholas Cage, Right, Nicholas Cage and Laura du Laura

132
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,480
was great to work with, right, because I've worked with

133
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,679
every actor in the world. Because I'm Nicholas Cage and

134
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,600
I've been in every film in the world, I can't

135
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,720
can't resist to do a Nicholas Cage impersonation.

136
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: Sorry, but if you've ever if you haven't seen Wilded Heart,

137
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,840
it's probably Lynch's funniest movie, hands down.

138
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,519
Speaker 1: It gets funnier with more viewings. In fact, there's a

139
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,919
sections jacket. It's a representation of my freedom and individuality.

140
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Where Nick Cage does his Elvis impersonation. Well, this is

141
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,759
a snake's good jacket.

142
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,279
Speaker 2: In its presentation of America and miniature, Wild at Heart

143
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:15,799
is a satirical picture of Well, it's satirical picture of

144
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,360
America and the American dream. And you're gonna see a

145
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,159
similar idea here with Twin Peaks. Now, Twin Peaks does,

146
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:30,240
like later Lynch films, share deeper occult symbology, as I

147
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,679
mentioned Lost Highway, mahulland Drive and Inland Empire, And we

148
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:36,559
might touch on a little bit of those because they will,

149
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,759
they will relate depending on how time goes in this

150
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,960
episode of esoteric Hollywood. In this analysis, we will delve

151
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,399
deeper into a unique place though, which I think is

152
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,960
the subconscious dreamscape of Lynch, and there will decode the

153
00:10:55,039 --> 00:11:01,120
scenes and images that may still mystify many twenty five

154
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,559
years later. Now worth mentioning before delving into the narrative

155
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,559
is also Lynch's preferred style. Part horror, part in neo noir,

156
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:17,759
part comedy, part melodrama, part soap opera. The Lynch Frost

157
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:24,399
collaboration collates a vast array of Hollywood classics, from the

158
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,480
Hitchcock Method of Doubling to Otto Preminger's nineteen forty four

159
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,720
noa classic Laura, the parallels between the Minor Bird from

160
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:41,080
Hitchcock's The Birds, the hard Hearted Detective, Grizzled loner who

161
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:47,519
finds himself taken with an apparently murdered Laura. Right, this

162
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,799
trope abounds in noa. Now, Lynch intentionally includes countless parallels

163
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:58,240
to sprinkle his work, deriving from the golden age of cinema.

164
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:02,399
Think of Sunset Boulevard, which I think pretty sure I've

165
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:09,360
read that Lynch sites in interviews as being heavily influential

166
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:10,080
on his style.

167
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: Now, as we enter the world of Twin Peaks.

168
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: It's protagonist, Agent Dale Cooper played by cal McLaughlin, who

169
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,519
arrives to investigate these in an enigmatic murder, and later

170
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,679
we find multiple murders of popular high school blonde babe

171
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,879
Laura Palmer.

172
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,519
Speaker 1: Now, Laura Palmer is intended.

173
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: To sort of be the high school perfect girl, and

174
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:42,960
you know, sort of the good girl that everyone thinks

175
00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:46,919
is a good girl. And this is in fact based

176
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:53,679
on an unsolved murder from Now, this is in fact

177
00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:00,399
based on an unsolved murder from Mark Frost, one of

178
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:07,960
the co creators and co directors with Lynch, mark Frost's hometown.

179
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,120
So Laura will function as the focal point of the

180
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:15,960
show's entire arc. Now, however, it's Agent Dale Cooper who

181
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,000
unravels the actual story of Laura's demise. The truth involves

182
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,399
a much wider conspiracy than is originally conceived. With his

183
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:33,600
unorthodox divination methods of solving crime, Cooper astounds local law

184
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,679
enforcement with the concept of utilizing synchronicity to associate similar

185
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:42,279
themes with inanimate objects in a game of rock toss.

186
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,600
This odd practice will configure Cooper as both a classic

187
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:48,480
pulp detective.

188
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: I think we could say.

189
00:13:51,159 --> 00:14:00,879
Speaker 2: Kind of Bogie Casablanca Multie Falcon, and I think also

190
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,960
we could.

191
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: Look at other other influence, Sam Spade.

192
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: I guess we could say, right, Sam Spade, but also

193
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,919
we could grant him a kind of mystical side from

194
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:18,240
which you will draw from in order to peer into

195
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,480
the psychosphere.

196
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

197
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood. I'm your host Jay Dyer

198
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,720
of Jay's Analysis, and you're listening on talknetwork dot com,

199
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,159
the best place for independent talk radio. I want to

200
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,480
remind you to get your organic supplements as we get

201
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,320
close to the holiday season, as well as all kinds

202
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,080
of survival gear at j dot Talk network dot com.

203
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,080
That's the best place to go for preparing for anything

204
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,480
that could come right. It's not just about collapses or

205
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,159
government false flags or something like that.

206
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: It's also about standing up to the elements.

207
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: Most disasters that humans will encounter in their life are

208
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,600
actually the natural phenomena of the changes of the seasons,

209
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:32,440
weather patterns. Right, that's the majority of what you're going

210
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,919
to face. Power outages, ice storms, we have those quite

211
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,519
frequently where I live, as well as tornadoes. So go

212
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,960
to j dot talknetwork dot com. You'll see it's not

213
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,120
just supplements, it's also survival gear.

214
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about twin peaks.

215
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: And as I commented before we were looking at the

216
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Shamanic journey, I quoted Markia Eliade and Yowan Kolanu now

217
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,279
in previous analyzes. At Jay's analysis, I talked about Lynch

218
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,639
through Cooper drawing on a highly complex and deeply rooted

219
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,000
Eastern notion of formal and essentialist associations that extend beyond

220
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,679
the immediate space and time of objects. Now what do

221
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,360
I mean by that, Well, what I mean is that

222
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,799
the objects as we tend to think of them in

223
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,879
the world. We think of them as discreete right, independent

224
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:30,360
objects that have no relation or connection to some other object.

225
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,759
So if there's a chair in one room, then there's

226
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,440
a chair in another room. We just think of them

227
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,600
as separate chairs. We don't think of them as sharing

228
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:41,720
any sort of essential chairness.

229
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Or quality or special quality.

230
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,159
Speaker 2: That's metaphysically out there in the world that makes them chairs.

231
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,879
Speaker 1: But as we moved eastern and back.

232
00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:54,919
Speaker 2: Into medieval and ancient thought, it's still and was the

233
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,559
norm to think of these things as having an essentialist connection.

234
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:01,679
This is what Plato would call the realm of the forms,

235
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,240
and that essence that all of these objects might share. Right,

236
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,920
You and I would share these as humanity. We share

237
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:15,720
human nature, and this essence or special property that makes

238
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,240
that thing that thing and no other thing is something

239
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:25,119
that extends beyond the immediate phenomena of spatial and temporal relations.

240
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: So cherness is shared. Right, even if.

241
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: We move those two chairs one thousand miles apart, they're

242
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:37,119
still sharing the property of cherness. And even if we

243
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,640
say burn one of those chairs and destroy it, well,

244
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,759
it's still the case that at one time they both

245
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:43,559
shared the property of cheerness.

246
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:44,599
Speaker 1: Right.

247
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: And now this is important because this is kind of

248
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:54,119
I believe the basis for how there could be something

249
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,319
like synchronicity and synchronicity is what's going to be the

250
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,799
means by which Cooper will actually do a kind of

251
00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:04,720
divination throughout the series in order to try to solve

252
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:12,119
these heinous, mysterious crimes that we will learn actually tend

253
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240
to line up with ritual murder, and in fact that

254
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,200
will be the case. So it's not just the murder

255
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,160
of girls or human trafficking. Much more is going on here,

256
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:25,640
and this sets the stage for Cooper to be much

257
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,599
more than merely a clever detective, but rather we see

258
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:33,039
the emergence of his role as another world traveling shaman.

259
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: Right, He's able to go beyond. He goes into the ether,

260
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,960
the astral.

261
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: Realm, the realm of the spirits, the other side, the

262
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:41,759
very thing.

263
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: That David Lynch talked about in the quote.

264
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:49,759
Speaker 2: At the beginning, and later in the series, it's Cooper's

265
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:54,759
spiritual gifts that are noted by Native American Deputy Hawk

266
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,880
as well as by General Briggs, where Cooper is eventually

267
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,799
revealed to be the one who can travel too and

268
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,400
call between the worlds.

269
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: Right, this fulfills the.

270
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: Role of the magician or the shaman from the series

271
00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:13,079
is famous tagline which reads fire walk with me.

272
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Now, this is the soul. This is the role of

273
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:22,920
the shaman I described in my thesis on Lost Highway.

274
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,039
I have an extensive analysis of the out there bizarre

275
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:32,680
psychical film that has mystified many out there known as

276
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:39,599
Lost Highway, the other David Lynch film that I believe

277
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,160
kind of.

278
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: Is kind of a part one in his loosely titled

279
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,680
Hollywood Trilogy.

280
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,319
Speaker 1: Citing author Peter Lavenda, I noted in Twin Peaks, it

281
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,599
is the light of the morgue over the place where

282
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:59,880
the body of Laura Palmer has been kept in which

283
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,759
then visited by Mike, the one armed man who recites

284
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:07,000
the famous poem through the darkness of futures pass, the

285
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:08,680
magician longs to see.

286
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 2: One chance out between two worlds. Fire walk with me.

287
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,519
They're in a little strange little verse. Levinda writes. We

288
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,799
have the key to unlocking the mystery not only of

289
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:26,039
Twin Peaks, but virtually all of Lynch's films. The suspension

290
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,279
of normal laws of time, futures past, and the idea

291
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,759
that the magician lives between two worlds, the suspension of

292
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:38,960
normal linear narrative event in the favor of, in fact,

293
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,599
a dream like hallucinatory set of images that are taking

294
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,640
place all over the fourth dimension. This is part of

295
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,599
Lynch's appeal as a director and part of what makes

296
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:54,039
his film so frustrating to the average filmgoer. His realization

297
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,680
is that there are two worlds and a place to

298
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:01,519
stand between them, and this is what contributes to his

299
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:05,119
aura as a modern twenty first century initiate.

300
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,759
Speaker 1: Of the mysteries.

301
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: That's what a mystery film is, right. It elucidates the

302
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,400
core mystery behind reality itself, and this forms the solution

303
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,640
to Lost Highway as well. The shamanic and magical elements

304
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,720
are here in full force, as Fred as a character

305
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:25,160
trapped in a different psychical world that seems to unfold

306
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:30,839
and invelop other psyches as well. Now, when we interpret

307
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:36,000
Twin Peaks, I think accuracy involves understanding the notion of

308
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:40,400
twilight language or sanda bayasa, which I've mentioned many times

309
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,839
in talks, and it's my contention that Twin Peaks should

310
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:47,440
be read in this way if the series itself were

311
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,160
perhaps a kind of yogic text. Sanda bayasa is the

312
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,960
notion of synchronicity or events being written like a text,

313
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,920
like a story, but in a higher way, and this

314
00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:02,359
is natural I think, given Lynch and agent Cooper in

315
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,119
the stories preference for Eastern Meditation. I'll quote Indian scholar

316
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:13,359
vij Mishra who comments on the ambiguous semiotic discourse involved

317
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:19,640
in Twilight. As follows, Tantric texts are often composed of

318
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:27,200
an intentional language. Sandabayasa a dark, secret, ambiguous language in

319
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,319
which a state of consciousness is expressed by an erotic

320
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,640
term and the vocabulary of mythology or cosmology is then

321
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:40,160
charged with a hatha, yogic or sexual meaning. According to Iliada,

322
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,079
it is translated enigmatic language. Max Muller called it a

323
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,920
hidden language. All the works of Sahayanya and Sandabayasa are

324
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,279
written in light and darkness, partly light and partly dark.

325
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,920
Some parts can be understood while other parts cannot, and

326
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,920
this is from the book Oceanal Poetics and the Indian Sublime. Now,

327
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:16,200
Cooper's methodology is really about reading omens, dreams, visions, and divination,

328
00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:19,240
and this gives us an insight into the metaphysics of

329
00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:21,440
Twin Peaks, which are very much in line with the

330
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,480
presentation here at Jay's analysis. If you go read my site,

331
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,319
you'll find many, many pieces there that line up with

332
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,599
how that kind of a worldview is possible from the

333
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,720
film twin Peaks, the film version fire Walk.

334
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: With Me, which is the name of the movie that

335
00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:40,279
came out after season one.

336
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,279
Speaker 2: We're giving the impression here that Laura's spirit has actually

337
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:51,440
summoned Cooper from the FBI to come and investigate from

338
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,319
the spirit world. So it's actually Laura who's brought Cooper there,

339
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,839
not Cooper who has chosen to come there. Consistently through

340
00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:06,079
the series, Cooper receives messages and clues from this spirit

341
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,359
realm or what might accurately accurately be called, as I said,

342
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:15,039
the eighth or astral realm, the psychosphere. Now, as he sleeps,

343
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,559
it's Cooper's higher self that enters into this realm and

344
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:25,000
communicates with this assorted cast of Mottley characters and shades,

345
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,640
arranging from Laura Palmer to a young version of what

346
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,359
looks like David Lynch himself, to a midget known as

347
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,880
the Man from Another Place and it played by Michael J. Anderson,

348
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,720
and then a giant. So here we have the Ananaki,

349
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:45,519
the notion of the nephelem, even coming into the mythology

350
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,720
of Lynch's Twin Peaks channeling these entities. Then Cooper gradually

351
00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:56,839
sort of unravels the Twilight Language script and he decodes

352
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,960
it right behind this wooded Washington City, and we the viewers,

353
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:05,559
embark on the same initiatic journey of decoding the script

354
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,000
with Cooper. So thus from reading the simulacra, within the simulacra,

355
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,319
it's Cooper who begins to discover the secret of Twin

356
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,119
Peaks involving the black market, not just one black market,

357
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,440
all of them. And this is where town tycoon Ben

358
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:31,119
Horn organizes and controls local prostitution, local gambling, drug running,

359
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:38,359
and much more through his private club One Eyed Jacks.

360
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:56,599
Speaker 1: We're talking One Eyed Jacks in reference to Twin Peaks.

361
00:25:57,079 --> 00:25:59,559
Speaker 2: You're listening to esotery, Hollywood. I'm your host, Jay Dyer

362
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:01,000
of Jayson Elses dot com.

363
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:08,799
Speaker 1: And One Eyed Jack's is the back door secret prostitution

364
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,160
lodge that's across some sort of lake that you have

365
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,000
to get to at night. It's kind of unclear, but

366
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:16,039
it's a private club.

367
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is that when we hear we see

368
00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:21,960
this one eye imagery in this case, it's relevant. It's

369
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:25,160
useful to point out because one eye will come up

370
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,200
more than once. The town oddball character Nadine has only

371
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,440
one functioning eye, and she later dissociates to a younger

372
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:37,279
version of herself. Curiously, so what she abused is she

373
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,559
just insane? We don't really know. Was she part of

374
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:46,319
this network at one point? And she possesses apparently excessive strength,

375
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,680
she has some sort of demonic connection apparently right so,

376
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,359
but it just in the narrative though. Nadine functions as

377
00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,759
the comic foil to the more dramatic situation with Laura.

378
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,359
But her initial psychosis and association to a different persona

379
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,559
is the key to Laura Palmer as well as we

380
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:08,160
will see.

381
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,519
Speaker 1: And One Eyed.

382
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,839
Speaker 2: Jacks is the locale of where Ben Horn controls vice

383
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,480
because he has connections, as we see, to larger criminal

384
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:21,480
networks and mafia organizations that are personified in the characters

385
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,920
of the Renault brothers. Horn's network includes legitimate face and

386
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,799
shell companies that are several businesses throughout the town, from

387
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:36,960
the Great Northern Hotel to Horn's department store, and there's

388
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:40,279
secretly nearby casino and then the Cat House.

389
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,759
Speaker 1: Now, while not.

390
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 2: Directly involved in the occult, it's Ben Horne, who is

391
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,119
the sort of archetypal eighties yuppie businessman who has no

392
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,400
direct involvement we discover eventually in the murder of Laura.

393
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: Though he's an initial suspect.

394
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:03,559
Speaker 2: While briefly accused, the reality surrounding Laura and Ben Horn

395
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:08,640
is actually far deeper. Now Cooper discovers through the eventual

396
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,799
disclosure of Laura's secret diary that she had been raped

397
00:28:12,839 --> 00:28:16,440
since she was twelve by her father Leland, played by

398
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:23,000
Ray Wise, and a spirit who possesses Leland named Bob.

399
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,079
Bob we learned as a former killer who has become

400
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:33,039
a demon in the afterlife, and he possesses individuals such

401
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:37,519
as Leland and then later Wyndham Earl to commit crimes

402
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:42,359
such as pedophilia and sacrificial murder. Now, I've detailed the

403
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:47,160
reality of this frightening process in a piece that I

404
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,240
called the Fractured Psyche in the Noose, and you can

405
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,759
find that at jays Analysis as well, And there's a

406
00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:59,920
comprehensive treatment of understanding what has happened to Laura and.

407
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,119
Speaker 1: In that essay.

408
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: But I think that that I essay is not just

409
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,480
applicable to the fictional case of Laura and Leland, but

410
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,079
applies to the real world. This is, I think what

411
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:12,680
we really see with people now concerning alters in the

412
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,920
split psyche. In that piece I wrote, when we consider

413
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:20,880
specifically the fragmentation of the psyche, the extreme versions appear

414
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,920
in the diagnoses of cases of MPD or DID disassociative

415
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,839
identity disorder, schizophrenia, and then the unifying factor between these

416
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,079
being severe trauma.

417
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Often in childhood.

418
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,039
Speaker 2: Actually now the trauma in later life appears in what's

419
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:43,920
often called post traumatic stress disorder, with the same patterns

420
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,480
of dissociation, fragmentation, and psychosis appearing frequently.

421
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: Now.

422
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,559
Speaker 2: What is most never discussed, though though it's evidence of

423
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:58,319
this surface is daily in particular to former military or

424
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,119
pop star circles, is the reality of ritual abuse.

425
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: And having read several works on.

426
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: That topic, you a ritual abuse appears frequently in relationship

427
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680
to these kinds of circles, but it goes unmentioned often

428
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,880
in the mainstream until we get to things like.

429
00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:17,079
Speaker 1: The Sable case. Right Jimmy Savile in the UK.

430
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,759
Speaker 2: This tide appears to be turning with Sable, but you know,

431
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:22,440
even the mainstream media.

432
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,319
Speaker 1: Is still forced to report.

433
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: On this avalanche of officials involved in these kinds of

434
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:34,160
occulting and ritual abuse scenarios. You know, the subject of

435
00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:39,720
fragmentation of the psyche, right, It's a topic that I said,

436
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,200
is it's very profuse in alternative media, and I don't

437
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,000
think that a lot of people know exactly what they're

438
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,359
talking about. But the general idea is kind of out

439
00:30:47,359 --> 00:30:50,599
there and somewhat I think accurate, and the cases in

440
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,720
nature and extent of it are still somewhat shrouded in mystery,

441
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,240
though modern medicine and psychology have quite a bit actually

442
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,799
to say about the matter. One of the reasons that

443
00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:04,839
this disorder is controversial is that it doesn't fit very

444
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,920
well with the dominant materialist biological reductionism upon which most

445
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:15,319
science in mass science is built. Mass science modern science

446
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:19,240
scientism is more so a slave to the corporate state

447
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,880
as an ideology and as a propaganda platform, with people

448
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,720
like Bill Nye, Daniel Dennett, Hitchens, Dawkins, Neil de Grassey

449
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:33,559
Tyson Right. And given the presupposition of modern science that

450
00:31:33,599 --> 00:31:38,759
the psyche is entirely equated with the brain matter itself,

451
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,920
the assumptions are thus that any possible solution to a

452
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,680
mental problem should and could only be remedied through the

453
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:52,880
suppression of and rearrangement of various molecular compounds aka drugs,

454
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:57,079
big pharma. That's why big pharma is the solution to everything,

455
00:31:57,119 --> 00:32:03,119
at least ideologically, is because of the subposition of Darwinism.

456
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,319
And this is why pharmaceuticals are recommended for any kind

457
00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:10,160
of problem across the board. And it may provide some

458
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,000
temporary relief for the subduing of certain manic tendencies or

459
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:16,640
something like this, but it fails to address the spiritual

460
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,920
dimension of man. And this excludes from the outset that

461
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,599
the psyche might be more than just a series of

462
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:31,440
firing neurons. But the monetary and propagandist power of these corporations,

463
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:35,319
you know, combined with the power to dictate results through

464
00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:41,079
funding of so called objective studies that vindicate the latest

465
00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:44,960
happy pill, it disavows from the outset any other approach

466
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:50,519
and any other models, any other therapeutic applications are just

467
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,039
dismissed out out of hand.

468
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: Now.

469
00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: Despite the deep interconnectedness of the pharmaceutical industry with the

470
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:05,079
intelligence agencies in the psychological and biological warfare industries, few

471
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,240
and far between are those who are really willing to

472
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,200
question this approach as a whole. And I think this

473
00:33:11,279 --> 00:33:16,720
is due again to the almost universal indoctrination of this reductionistic,

474
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:23,400
neo Darwinian materialistic perspective. In this preconditions, then all approaches

475
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,640
to therapeutic psychology, biology, medicine, et cetera, et cetera. Now,

476
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,759
one example of the dilemma of a proponent of the

477
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:37,079
modern approach that has to be graffled with is what

478
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:41,799
I've hided highlighted before that even the DSMV Diagnostics and

479
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:47,119
Statistics Manual Version five that the psych industry utilizes for

480
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,799
its so called diagnoses, it still references articles about mind

481
00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:57,720
controlled alters. So you know, if my controlled alters don't exist,

482
00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:03,480
it's and if it's the raving fix of conspiracy lunatics.

483
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,799
And I apologize that my allergies are going crazy. I

484
00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:08,880
can't help it for all the sniffing and so forth tonight.

485
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,639
Speaker 1: But you know then it.

486
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: Needs to be revised, right, I mean, all this needs

487
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,920
to be thrown out now if if you even give

488
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,400
this book that much credence anyway, you know, most of

489
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,039
these disorders so called are just made up. They're just

490
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:33,239
titled these disorders, and it's subject to change quite frequently.

491
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:38,039
Transgenderism was a mental disorder back in the seventies and eighties, and.

492
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,599
Speaker 1: Now it's not. So you know, it's just make it

493
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:43,719
up as you go. I guess.

494
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,159
Speaker 2: The circular nature, right of this existing psychological establishment vindicates

495
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:55,440
ultimately the pharmaceutical establishment. That's why it works the way

496
00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,199
it does. That's why it continues to operate unchallenged and

497
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,519
just pumping out pills to put us in this brave

498
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:06,760
new world situation. And this in turn provides funding to

499
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,119
vindicate the psychological establishment. So the circular establishment then becomes

500
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:14,519
the de facto final court of appeal. So even as

501
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:18,079
its theories and revisions are constantly overturning with each decade,

502
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,679
it just the cycle itself continues. Now this is important

503
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:27,199
because this relates to everything that we're looking at in

504
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,559
terms of Twin Peaks, Because the central characters in Twin

505
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:35,199
Peaks have this problem of dissociating spiritual possession and so forth,

506
00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:39,480
and they don't know what to do and they've been traumatized. Right,

507
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:42,760
their psyche is split, and it's not just a psyche

508
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,239
but also an invading.

509
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:49,679
Speaker 1: Spirit is involved in the case of both.

510
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: Laura and Leland. In Laura's case, there's good Laura and

511
00:35:54,880 --> 00:36:00,199
Bad Laura. There's Laura who's sort of gives it to

512
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,840
her dark side and becomes this evil Laura, which is

513
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,840
in a way kind of making fun of soap operas

514
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,400
in the eighties and nineties. And then there's good Laura,

515
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,400
who's the front face right of this persona of the

516
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:25,920
good girl homecoming queen. Now it's important too that it's

517
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,800
not just the black market of prostitution and drugs. It's

518
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,039
actually the alluring of young girls into porn. And there's

519
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:38,159
a cult that exists amongst the Twin Peaks elite that

520
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,679
formerly met in secret.

521
00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:42,559
Speaker 1: We discover for ritual magic ceremonies.

522
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,039
Speaker 2: As a thread unravels, it's the spirit of Bob that

523
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:49,800
serves as the foot soldier for this mysterious midget character

524
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,159
called the Man from Another Place. The Man from Another

525
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:58,519
Place organizes the occult marriage ceremony for the girls who

526
00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:02,960
were offered to Leland and other cult participants. So it

527
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,960
starts with drugs and porn, and then the girls are

528
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,199
allured into prostitution, and then we even get hints of

529
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:15,320
snuff films that are that involve this ritual magic cult.

530
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,679
And it's not always explicit, but this is my interpretation

531
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,320
of what's going on with the those involving the wearing

532
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,519
the ring that they're part of this cult. You're listening

533
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:32,960
to Esoltary Hollywood and we're breaking down Twin Peaks, and

534
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,800
when we come back, we're going to talk more about

535
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,840
this cult network that appears to be in the background,

536
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,639
behind the front of Ben Horn. Ben Horn's not actually

537
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:47,400
in the cult. He's just a self involved, hedonistic, pragmatic businessman.

538
00:37:48,039 --> 00:38:15,960
You're listening to Esotericcollywood on talknetwork dot com.

539
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back. You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood. We're talking about Twin.

540
00:38:21,079 --> 00:38:24,559
Speaker 2: Peaks, and we've gotten to the point where there's a

541
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:27,360
lot more going on under the surface of this idyllic

542
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,559
yet bizarre small town of Twin Peaks population fifty five

543
00:38:31,639 --> 00:38:35,239
thousand and something or other. Not only is there a

544
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:41,400
black market, not as prostitution and drugs gambling, it's actually

545
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,039
the luring of young girls into porn and prostitution, high

546
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:49,199
school girls. And then beyond that there's a layer of dark,

547
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:57,079
dark darkness, and that is a cult that seems to

548
00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:02,440
be centered around a group of strange spirits headed up

549
00:39:02,559 --> 00:39:07,079
by the man from another place, some sort of interdimensional

550
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:11,320
ALIENI ish midget demon.

551
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:18,679
Speaker 1: And I want my garmin Bosia. Now what's the garment Bosia?

552
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,519
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna find out if you remember that bizarre scene.

553
00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:26,960
Now as the thread unravels, right, it's the spirit of

554
00:39:27,039 --> 00:39:30,039
Bob that serves as the foot soldier or the man

555
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:33,519
from another place who organizes the occult marriages, as we said.

556
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: And so it starts with.

557
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 2: Drugs and porn, leads into prostitution and human sacrifice. So

558
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,880
behind the real dark power in Twin Peaks is this

559
00:39:45,079 --> 00:39:48,360
black Lodge. And it's curious that it's called the black

560
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,400
Lodge in between worlds. A black lodge bears a striking

561
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:58,239
resemblance to what some call irregular forms of Masonry, secret

562
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,480
societies and cults say Tanant cults right known as black

563
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:06,559
lodges where dark arts are performed. Black Lodge is also

564
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:13,119
mentioned in Crowley's novel Moonchild and the Reports of Lynch. Actually,

565
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,400
there are reports of Lynch rumors. I don't know if

566
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,320
that's true, but rumors at least of Lynch asking his

567
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,400
actors and crew to speak and walk in reverse for

568
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,039
the filming of the astral scenes in the lodge, and

569
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,800
this may have a Crowleian sort of undertone. I don't

570
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,599
know if it's true, but that's at least what some

571
00:40:31,639 --> 00:40:34,119
have said. Now, all of this is told in striking

572
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:38,880
detail in twin Peaks, as Cooper's visions demonstrate this human

573
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,199
sacrifice component. In other words, Bob is a demonic force

574
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:48,280
that's subservient to the man from another place who's lust

575
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:54,280
for fun seems to involve rape, pedophilia, and murder. And

576
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,679
it's a consistent narrative where these old men have their

577
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,280
way with young girls. And then that's what kind of

578
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,079
hearkens to, this pedophilia. And then we think of the

579
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:07,320
one armed man Garrard slash Mike, who displays the magical

580
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,559
ring that sort of identifies him as a part of

581
00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:14,440
this cult now in possessing individuals for the purpose of

582
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,719
carrying out these acts. It's Bob that captures the pain

583
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,320
and misery stored in the blood of his victims, and

584
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,280
he pours him out as a sacrificial offering to this

585
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,639
man from another place. That's the garment Bosia. If you

586
00:41:30,679 --> 00:41:33,599
think of the as I said, that bizarre scene in

587
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:40,719
the meals for wheels old woman's house right where Bob says,

588
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,880
I want my garment bosia, or excuse me, the man

589
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,360
for another place says, I want my garment bosia his

590
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,159
cream corn and what he means is his food. And

591
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,760
his food is signified as the pain and misery of

592
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,880
the energy, the blood of the sacrificial victim. It's contained

593
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:06,639
now in almost perennial demonology. This concept has many precedents

594
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:10,400
that moleficent spirits actually feed on the pain and misery

595
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:17,280
of victims in this parasitic fashion. Now, I did come

596
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,000
across a good analysis at a sound in site magazine

597
00:42:21,079 --> 00:42:25,400
that it's now become pop optic, and I contributed a

598
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,440
piece or two for them some months ago.

599
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: And there was another girl who wrote for them. Her

600
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:33,480
name is Justine Smith, and.

601
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,039
Speaker 2: She wrote quote, then of course we have Bob. For

602
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:40,360
those unaware of the town of Twin Peaks is similarly

603
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,599
populated by a spiritual lodge that travels or is somehow

604
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:47,960
engaged by electricity. And this is important when you watch

605
00:42:48,119 --> 00:42:52,760
the movie. One of its members, perhaps its leader, is Bob,

606
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,880
who menaces Laura throughout her life. She claims to have

607
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,360
been raped since she was twelve and is similarly islan.

608
00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:04,440
In this scene, he is not only in stark contrast

609
00:43:04,519 --> 00:43:08,199
to the pink, childlike bedroom. That is, when Bob shows

610
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,800
up raping Laura, he is in search for her hidden diary.

611
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,440
The fact that he mirrors her reactions is another mode

612
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:20,880
of doubling commonly found in surrealist work as well as Hitchcock,

613
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,400
as I mentioned, and it suggests a deep connection between them, however, unwilling.

614
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,159
Finally we have the end of the scene where Laura's

615
00:43:28,159 --> 00:43:31,719
father exits the house, and having already entered the space,

616
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,519
we are fairly certain that he wasn't there before. So

617
00:43:36,159 --> 00:43:39,920
Laura and Bob are one and the same. Excuse me,

618
00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:43,960
Laura's father, Leland and Bob. This girl asked this question,

619
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:47,079
and it's obvious, Yes, they're the same. They're the same

620
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:51,679
because Bob's possessing Leland now the garment Bosia cream corn.

621
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,599
All right, And if you go to Jay's analysis, you'll

622
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:58,360
see my more in depth analysis of twin Peaks, and

623
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,960
you'll see the imagery that I include in my article

624
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,159
where I show you the scene where he's talking about

625
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:06,639
this and the man from another place, the little midget

626
00:44:06,679 --> 00:44:12,280
demon identifies the garment Bosia. There as the pain and

627
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:17,000
the sorrow, the pain and misery of the ritual sacrifice

628
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,440
becomes the food of the demon. So the answer to

629
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,760
Justine Smith's question is yes. Specifically, in the case of Laura,

630
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,000
we find her youthful trauma from Bob Leland to have

631
00:44:30,039 --> 00:44:33,320
caused her psyche to split into altars, and this is

632
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,159
revealed in the show explicitly and more clearly in the

633
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:39,360
film where Laura demonstrates a duplicity of good girl bad girl,

634
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,960
detailing in her diary the trauma she was unable to

635
00:44:43,039 --> 00:44:49,000
cope with from her father's own personality split. So Leland

636
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:52,599
himself right had these same issues. Leland, just like Laura,

637
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,000
was subject to a dual personality, and eventually Leland giving

638
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,440
into his dark side led.

639
00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:02,079
Speaker 1: To this possession by Bob. Now.

640
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:05,599
Speaker 2: This is also strikingly revealed in the driving scene in

641
00:45:05,639 --> 00:45:09,079
the feature film Twin Peaks fire Walk with Me, where

642
00:45:09,159 --> 00:45:14,519
Leland encounters Girard slash Mike, because Gerrard has a spirit

643
00:45:14,559 --> 00:45:17,360
that possesses him as well, where he wears the cult ring,

644
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,159
and the ring functions as a trigger for Laura and

645
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,119
Leland to dissociate. So not only was Laura allured into

646
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:28,840
the exploitative field of prostitution. She had been subject to

647
00:45:29,039 --> 00:45:32,119
ritual abuse, and in this regard, the symbology of the

648
00:45:32,199 --> 00:45:35,039
rings suggests both the goat and the demonic. If you

649
00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:38,280
look at the shape of the ring, and it's not

650
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,079
just that, it's also two mountains and a portal between

651
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:47,000
two mountains, as we'll see it here in a bit. Now,

652
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,880
the ring suggests the goat and the inverted horns. In

653
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,760
another sense, it's a group or a cabal, a ring, right,

654
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,960
a ring of people. It also displays different planes of existence,

655
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,119
as I said, and the portal between the two worlds.

656
00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:07,679
The two peaks, the twin peaks signify the two worlds

657
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:13,440
and in a three tiered sense, the white Lodge Earth

658
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:19,559
and the Black Lodge. Now you have to see my analysis,

659
00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:24,559
said Jay's analysis, because it's difficult to give an imagery

660
00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:27,679
of this over audio. But if you look, you'll see

661
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:31,159
I point out in the scenes, there's actually included in

662
00:46:31,159 --> 00:46:34,239
the background real ritual magic sigils.

663
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,639
Speaker 1: So if you know the sigil next to.

664
00:46:36,639 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 2: Cooper hanging on the chalkboard in my analysis, you'll see

665
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,239
what I'm talking about and what almost all researchers have

666
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,559
missed who try to deal with Lynch, and this film

667
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:51,440
is the crucial imagery that we see at the police station.

668
00:46:51,519 --> 00:46:54,639
We're in the background, Cooper and Sheriff Harry Truman have

669
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,119
pieced together these ritual magic sigils, but they're not explicitly

670
00:46:59,159 --> 00:47:03,199
referred to in the screenplay. It's only in the background

671
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,440
that we see this now presumably connected to the crime

672
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,920
scenes in the former FBI agent turned psychopath Wyndham Earl,

673
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,760
it's the ritual magic sigils that are explained in a

674
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:18,159
video of Earl right where Earl Wyndham Earl, who's a

675
00:47:18,199 --> 00:47:24,599
former FBI guy turned evil turned psychopath, he describes tapping

676
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:27,440
into the left hand power of the dark Side through

677
00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:30,679
the Black Lodge. And so the sigils in Twin Peaks

678
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:34,119
are in fact sigils from the Goetia or the Lesser

679
00:47:34,199 --> 00:47:38,159
Key of Solomon, which specifically relate to the invocation of demons.

680
00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:42,360
Another weird feature that comes up in Twin Peaks that's

681
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,519
worth mentioning is the scorched engine oil throughout the series,

682
00:47:47,679 --> 00:47:50,639
and now this is a reference to the oil sludge

683
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:54,639
that is found in the woods at what they call

684
00:47:54,760 --> 00:48:00,400
Glastonbury Grove the site of the forest Portal, which inclcludes

685
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:05,440
a reference to Arturian mythology. So out in the woods

686
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,599
is where the entrance way, the portal to the Black

687
00:48:09,679 --> 00:48:15,480
Lodges that Cooper eventually discovers, and it's the areas the

688
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:19,159
circle of trees that they call Glastonbury Grove.

689
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,079
Speaker 1: Now this makes one immediately think of.

690
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 2: Ancient British occultism. Again Sable the elites in the UK

691
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,599
perhaps Bohemian Grove, and the idea of the grove goes

692
00:48:31,639 --> 00:48:35,840
back far beyond the history of England. We read the

693
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,599
Old Testament, you can read in books like Kings Chronicles,

694
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,920
and there'll be mentions of the high places in the groves, and.

695
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: The anti.

696
00:48:48,199 --> 00:48:53,559
Speaker 2: Monotheistic cults of the surrounding area of Israel would worship

697
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:56,960
their deities on top of these mountains. Right, So when

698
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:02,280
God appears at Mount Sinai in Exodus, conversely, the other

699
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:08,079
gods of the nations would demand that their followers meet

700
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,400
them on the high places, the groves at the top

701
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:17,159
of the mountain. And so that's why Glastonbury Grove is

702
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:24,159
significant here in twin Peaks. Now Earl arrives on the

703
00:49:24,199 --> 00:49:27,519
scene in season two to capitalize on the dark forces

704
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:29,679
in Twin Peaks, and he's seeking this portal to the

705
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,800
Lodge in the woods. Now, hovering over this black viscous.

706
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,199
Speaker 1: Oil is the portal to.

707
00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: The portal site, in other words, is actually the site

708
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,679
of ancient ritual practice, we learn, and this is where

709
00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:48,679
gods and demi gods are invoked. And Lynch seems to

710
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,079
be saying here that actually America itself is perhaps a

711
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:56,239
land of primeval fallen forces that rule our present reality

712
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,800
from behind the veil. You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood and

713
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,519
we're breaking down Twin Peaks with Jadi or your host,

714
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:08,480
and you're listening on talknetwork dot com, the best place

715
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:43,199
for non corporate free talk radio.

716
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back. You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood.

717
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,599
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Jadier of Jaysonalysis dot com. We're breaking

718
00:50:49,639 --> 00:50:53,719
down twin Peaks and we're talking about Wyndham Earl, the

719
00:50:54,039 --> 00:50:56,880
FBI agent turned dark.

720
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: Side turned psychopath.

721
00:50:59,519 --> 00:51:02,679
Speaker 2: And we talked about how Earl arrives in season two

722
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,639
to capitalize in the dark Forces in Twin Peaks, seeking

723
00:51:06,679 --> 00:51:09,599
the portal to the Lodge in the Woods. And as

724
00:51:09,639 --> 00:51:14,719
we said, hovering over this pool of black viscous scorched oil.

725
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:18,760
Is this portal to a site of ancient ritual practice

726
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,960
where gods and demi gods are actually invoked, And Lynch

727
00:51:23,039 --> 00:51:25,320
seems to be saying, as I said that America is

728
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:31,440
this location Twin Peaks is kind of America in miniature. Now,

729
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:36,039
this is significant in terms of the consistent red veil

730
00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:40,199
imagery that we see throughout the series, and this accompanies

731
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,719
any entrance into the Black Lodge. You see the big

732
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:47,519
red veil and then the zigzag pattern floor, and the

733
00:51:47,559 --> 00:51:51,960
planetary and astrological conjunctions are mentioned right that determine the

734
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:58,039
opening of the portal to the next world. Fear, Cooper says,

735
00:51:58,119 --> 00:52:01,840
opens the door to the Black Lodge, and Love opens

736
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,800
the doorway to the White Now. Also revealed in this

737
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:11,480
association of dubious characters is the somewhat goofy figure of

738
00:52:11,559 --> 00:52:15,880
Major Briggs, the military mystic who believes in the supernatural,

739
00:52:16,679 --> 00:52:21,039
and this leads to classified connections to Project Blue Book.

740
00:52:21,079 --> 00:52:26,760
He mentions the military's UFO research. Now, in reality, Project

741
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,840
blue Book was a cover story for Advanced Technology of

742
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:37,039
Testing Aircraft in my view, but even here it's a

743
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:42,360
curious association right as Major Briggs's classified work in the series,

744
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,119
it actually involves a cult research and so what Briggs

745
00:52:46,159 --> 00:52:48,760
seems to be is a maybe an approximation of the

746
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,400
kind of real programs that John Ronson writes about and

747
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:54,480
his Men Who Stare at Gohos or if you've seen

748
00:52:54,559 --> 00:53:02,159
the George Clooney George Clooney film, I think Jeff Bridges

749
00:53:02,199 --> 00:53:05,199
in the Two Men Who Star At Goats, you'll know

750
00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:05,960
what I'm talking about.

751
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: Now. This is based on reality.

752
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,639
Speaker 2: Where there was a high level military Special Forces Soldier

753
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:17,400
Brigade battalion that participated in these kinds of remote viewing,

754
00:53:17,559 --> 00:53:25,400
occult activities, sensory extra sensory perception Stanford Research Institute type stuff,

755
00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:29,000
and they were called the First Earth Battalion. That's actually

756
00:53:29,079 --> 00:53:32,400
a real thing, and you can look this up. I'm

757
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,800
not making it up. Yeah again, you know there's a movie.

758
00:53:35,559 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: And a book on it.

759
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, just looking at the Wikipedia here. It even says

760
00:53:41,519 --> 00:53:43,199
according to the book Men Who Sterre At Goats by

761
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,960
journalist Sean Ronson, mister Shawnan spent time in the seventies

762
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,559
with many of the people in California credited with starting

763
00:53:51,639 --> 00:53:56,440
the Human Potential movement and subsequently he wrote an operations

764
00:53:56,519 --> 00:53:59,400
manual for the First Earth Battalion. It's one hundred and

765
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:04,280
twenty five age mix of drawings, graphs, maps, political essays,

766
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,280
point by point Readi's signs, and he imagined a new

767
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:14,039
battlefield uniform that would include pouches for gensng divination tools.

768
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:17,599
Speaker 1: So it's like these.

769
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,599
Speaker 2: Magic warriors that they're going to turn the Special Ops

770
00:54:20,639 --> 00:54:21,199
guys into.

771
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,199
Speaker 1: And the movie came out in two thousand and nine.

772
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:32,079
Right in the movie, they're called the New Earth Army. Oh,

773
00:54:32,159 --> 00:54:35,960
it's all kind of a ridiculous thing, but modeled after

774
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,199
this notion of the warrior monk I guess with special

775
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,280
powers or something, but a real thing regardless.

776
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,159
Speaker 2: And this is kind of who this character of a

777
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,199
major Briggs, you know, this is what he seems to

778
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,360
embody is this kind of a character. Now also relevant

779
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,000
our recent stories about high level ritual occultism and satanism

780
00:54:59,039 --> 00:55:03,039
involving the PRESIDI and US military elite, and with the

781
00:55:03,079 --> 00:55:08,119
associations of high level military ceremonial magic ceremonies being conducted

782
00:55:08,159 --> 00:55:12,000
on the West Coast and Wooded Grove's Bohemian Grove comes

783
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,440
to mind. So as the owls are not what they appear,

784
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,559
and Lynch seems to be saying that the real power

785
00:55:18,599 --> 00:55:22,960
structure in the soap opera charade that is America is

786
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,000
actually subservient to dark forces beyond our plane of existence.

787
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,599
Subservient to the demonic is the hypocritical face that the

788
00:55:31,679 --> 00:55:37,000
establishment puts forward to cover up the nefarious mirrors that

789
00:55:37,159 --> 00:55:39,639
the dual level of reality in the world of Twin

790
00:55:39,679 --> 00:55:42,559
Peaks show, right, the spirit world of the Black Lodge

791
00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:47,559
and what undergirds it now Wyndham Earl attempts to concoct

792
00:55:47,599 --> 00:55:53,079
his own ritual by sacrificing Cooper's later love interest Annie

793
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,800
played by Heather Graham. Earl specifies that it must be

794
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,880
done in the grove, in the magic circle, and entering

795
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:06,239
the circle leads to the ether where events can transpire

796
00:56:06,519 --> 00:56:11,280
through magical intentions in this life, right, this is the

797
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,480
whole point of it now, so symbolically, the death of

798
00:56:14,519 --> 00:56:20,239
the Queen, we're told, will fulfill Earl's simulacrum pre planning

799
00:56:20,599 --> 00:56:23,960
that he's used through playing cards. Earl as a serial

800
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,400
killer who's been putting a you know, like a deck

801
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:32,679
of playing cards, joker Ace Queen King at the sight

802
00:56:33,079 --> 00:56:39,239
of different murder scenes. Now, the playing cards also harken

803
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,079
back though to one Eyed Jacks, where the logo of

804
00:56:42,159 --> 00:56:45,519
one Eyed Jacks is the plane card. The Jack and

805
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:50,199
Fortune and Fate are then thus personified in the series

806
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:54,960
as elemental spiritual forces of nature, and I think this

807
00:56:55,119 --> 00:56:59,280
focus on the elemental spirits is the reason for log Lady. Now,

808
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,599
log Lady is the sort of fool character if we

809
00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:06,800
were to think of suck a tarot deck or.

810
00:57:05,519 --> 00:57:07,559
Speaker 1: The fool, and.

811
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:15,039
Speaker 2: The log Lady plays this sort of sphinx like sage

812
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,320
character who if you watch the intros that are on

813
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:23,599
the DVD series to the show, the log Lady intros

814
00:57:23,679 --> 00:57:28,199
provide consistent clues to the actual overall narrative of the story,

815
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:29,760
which I think is pretty fascinating.

816
00:57:30,159 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people just skip.

817
00:57:31,199 --> 00:57:34,159
Speaker 2: Over the log Lady, but if you actually watch the

818
00:57:34,199 --> 00:57:37,840
log Lady, she tells you pretty much what's going on

819
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,719
in the series as a whole. Now, the log Lady

820
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,599
plays this minor role, but her comments are actually about synchronicity,

821
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,440
They're about symbolism, and they're about clues that point to

822
00:57:49,559 --> 00:57:50,679
the forces of nature.

823
00:57:51,199 --> 00:57:54,719
Speaker 5: Right, logs are wood and this is why we have

824
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,440
the association with the wood that makes up the hotel

825
00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:03,280
in the forest, the wooded area where the portal and

826
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,199
Glastonbury Grove are.

827
00:58:06,719 --> 00:58:08,159
Speaker 1: In the background to twin peaks.

828
00:58:08,199 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 2: We have a mix then of these elements of the

829
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:16,039
ancient world air, earth, fire, water, and ether.

830
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: Yes, you will see me talk about these.

831
00:58:20,159 --> 00:58:24,079
Speaker 2: Things quite a bit at jays analysis the classical five

832
00:58:24,719 --> 00:58:30,159
modes of matter or elements in the ancient world. And

833
00:58:30,199 --> 00:58:33,840
this elemental focus I think explains why Josie in that

834
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,119
strange scene is trapped inside the wood of the hotel

835
00:58:37,159 --> 00:58:40,360
when she dies. A lot of people were sort of

836
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:45,239
mystified at this bizarre scene, but that's why now others

837
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,199
meet their demise in direct association, for example, with fire

838
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,920
or burning exhaust or oil, Laura's death, etc.

839
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,079
Speaker 1: And in the ancient world, and equally true of the

840
00:58:57,079 --> 00:58:59,039
ancient Far East, I think.

841
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 2: Is the point that nature was not a collection of

842
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,239
just random chaotic atoms bouncing around that we think in

843
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,239
terms of modern reductionism and scientism. But it was a

844
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:12,840
vivid landscape right populated by countless spirits, angels, demons, and

845
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,000
thus all of the folklore that we have passed down.

846
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,239
If I think it's that kind of world that Lynch

847
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,239
wants to be the real backdrop for Twin Peaks. And

848
00:59:26,519 --> 00:59:29,159
if you go to Jason Analysis, you'll see also in

849
00:59:29,239 --> 00:59:31,960
my peace on Twin Peaks, you'll see the image of

850
00:59:32,679 --> 00:59:34,880
the White Lodge, the Black Lodge, and the two peaks

851
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,199
and then the portal between them.

852
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:38,159
Speaker 1: And it's somebody made this graphic.

853
00:59:38,159 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 2: I don't know who, but it's laid out perfectly, and

854
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,119
I think you could call this mystical toponomy. If you've

855
00:59:44,119 --> 00:59:48,480
read Michael Hoffman's classic books Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare,

856
00:59:48,559 --> 00:59:52,320
he'll talk about this notion of mystical toponomy, that the

857
00:59:52,519 --> 00:59:58,559
geographic locales of Earth have specific places that will have

858
00:59:58,599 --> 01:00:03,800
a deeper significance. So this might tie into synchronicity with

859
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,480
the location of bomb testing sites, a Trinity site, New

860
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,679
Mexico or something like this, or Devil's Tower in the

861
01:00:12,719 --> 01:00:18,639
movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, right, so Route

862
01:00:18,719 --> 01:00:23,519
sixty six Devil's Highway or something like that, and then

863
01:00:23,559 --> 01:00:25,599
it might have a significant There might be a significance

864
01:00:25,639 --> 01:00:26,519
in some case too.

865
01:00:28,159 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: A day, a calendar.

866
01:00:29,679 --> 01:00:35,119
Speaker 2: Day, the Dia de las Sombertos in specter recently, or

867
01:00:35,199 --> 01:00:40,079
these could be instances of mystical toponymy to use Hoffmann's term,

868
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,199
and I believe this comes ultimately from the books of

869
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:50,119
James Shelby Downard, King Kill thirty three or Carnivals of

870
01:00:50,119 --> 01:00:54,280
Life and Death. We'll find references there too, mystical top

871
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,559
on Now, I think this is real. I do think

872
01:00:56,599 --> 01:01:01,519
there's something too. As they said before, synchronous city, Sundabiyasa,

873
01:01:01,679 --> 01:01:04,719
Twilight language, mystical toponomy. I think these are all real,

874
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:09,840
real things, and the mystical toponomy of Twin Peaks is

875
01:01:10,239 --> 01:01:13,840
a great insight, a great example of this, because we

876
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,559
have all of that laid out in this two series

877
01:01:17,639 --> 01:01:25,239
fictional presentation with one movie. Now, the ultimate climax of

878
01:01:26,039 --> 01:01:28,920
the show was going.

879
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: To feature a Cooper who has lost his way through fear. Right,

880
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,719
It's what Cooper said a minute ago that.

881
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,519
Speaker 2: Fear leads to the Black Lodge, right, and then with

882
01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:43,159
the real Cooper trapped in the Black Lodge, it's Bob.

883
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,320
We figure out who's going to possess Cooper's body. Now,

884
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:51,400
Cooper's curiosity and desire for the knowledge of the beyond,

885
01:01:51,679 --> 01:01:55,880
and in particular he develops the fascination for the dark side.

886
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,079
This is what's going to lead to his demise in

887
01:01:59,079 --> 01:02:01,599
a way much similar to other Lynch works, as we'll

888
01:02:01,639 --> 01:02:05,519
see here in a moment. You're listening to Esoltera Hollywood.

889
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,079

892
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,480
You're listening to Escolta Hollywood. We're talking about twins. Have

893
01:03:00,519 --> 01:03:03,440
been breaking it down and we got to the point

894
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,880
where the climax, of course, features Cooper bashing his head

895
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,480
against the mirror as he's possessed by the spirit Bob.

896
01:03:12,599 --> 01:03:16,960
Now Bob then is directed by the man from another place.

897
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: It seems to.

898
01:03:18,519 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: Go after Cooper because Cooper's gone down this path of

899
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,639
looking too deep into the dark side, and this provides

900
01:03:25,679 --> 01:03:31,480
the opening the doorway for Bob to possess Coop. And

901
01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:34,960
this desire for knowledge of the beyond in the dark side,

902
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,559
I think is a welcomed warning because we see this

903
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,840
pattern in other Lynch films like Lost Highway, and in

904
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,719
Lost Highway, I described that there's.

905
01:03:47,559 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: Well, there's this.

906
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 2: This series began right with the possession of an initially

907
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,079
good man and the series ends with Cooper as a

908
01:03:54,159 --> 01:03:57,480
vessel of evil. And then what I describe of Fred

909
01:03:57,559 --> 01:04:02,400
Madison played by Bill Pullman and Lost Highway is then

910
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,639
relevant to Agent Cooper as well.

911
01:04:04,719 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Right, So, in Lost.

912
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 2: Highway there's this nonlinear neon nowa occult psychodrama that looks

913
01:04:11,039 --> 01:04:14,440
at the dark side of Hollywood and the underground underworld

914
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:18,679
where the mafia, porn, crime, and the occult coalesce into

915
01:04:18,719 --> 01:04:23,000
an interweb and web. A story about one man's psychic

916
01:04:23,119 --> 01:04:29,079
journey down a lost highway of his own stream of subconscious, conscious,

917
01:04:29,199 --> 01:04:35,880
unconsciousness and thought as the viewer trevails the fields of

918
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,840
madness with Fred Madison. Right, the name itself tells you

919
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,039
what's going on down his road. We are brought back

920
01:04:43,079 --> 01:04:46,039
to the very point where the film Lost Highway began,

921
01:04:46,679 --> 01:04:50,320
right where the movie scene opens and ends in the

922
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:55,280
same scene. And this is the cycle that Fred has

923
01:04:55,320 --> 01:05:00,679
imprisoned himself in. Right now, Packed with dualism, illusion and mystery,

924
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:04,360
Lost Highway is about life and the dark side of

925
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:10,599
our own emner underworld, the subconscious which Lynch mystically will link.

926
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: To other people's subconscious. No, No, I find this fascinating.

927
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 2: It's almost like the dream world, the dream state, the subconscious,

928
01:05:18,519 --> 01:05:25,239
collective unconscious is kind of connected between everybody. And perhaps

929
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,920
that's some insight into what happens in possession. Right, If

930
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,199
there's a spirit that possesses someone, this is a spirit

931
01:05:31,239 --> 01:05:34,800
in that realm stepping into the doorway of another person's

932
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:40,960
conscious consciousness. To use the Dark Tower analogy of Stephen King.

933
01:05:41,599 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Now, if we failed.

934
01:05:42,519 --> 01:05:45,559
Speaker 2: To realize the reality of these evils such as possession

935
01:05:45,639 --> 01:05:49,880
and the mysteries of the subconscious, are we liable to

936
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,960
be trapped like Fred or agent Cooper in our own

937
01:05:55,679 --> 01:06:02,400
imprisoned mental madness? As I said, his name Madison is

938
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:07,480
a clue symbolizing his descent into madness. And Alice, who

939
01:06:07,599 --> 01:06:11,519
is Renee's alter in the Lost Highway, will bring to

940
01:06:11,559 --> 01:06:15,920
mind Alice in Munderland, And we think of alternate worlds,

941
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,119
fictional worlds, mental worlds, and alternate personalities.

942
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,559
Speaker 1: Now, was Alice a victim of my control like Fred

943
01:06:22,599 --> 01:06:26,440
in Lost Highway? Or are they both willing accomplices and evil?

944
01:06:26,519 --> 01:06:28,480
Perhaps both of those things are true.

945
01:06:29,239 --> 01:06:33,639
Speaker 2: Now, will the obsession with Hollywood and the celluloid videodrome

946
01:06:33,679 --> 01:06:37,719
and its cousin the now omnipresence surveillance society. Will it

947
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:43,320
bring us truth or more likely a descent into madness, depersonalization,

948
01:06:43,559 --> 01:06:47,360
and dissociation like Fred Given the fact that Lost Highway

949
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:52,800
is about surveillance and the surveillance video society, that's what

950
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,440
partly what that film is about, and Hollywood's rolling that now.

951
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,639
Either way, I think Lynch is forcing us to examine

952
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,719
that at base reality and the psyches are.

953
01:07:02,639 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: Still mysteries to be decoded. They're not easily solved.

954
01:07:07,599 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 2: And in the series the finales strange ending sequence with

955
01:07:12,039 --> 01:07:17,440
Cooper being possessed, Cooper discovers in fact that Bob has

956
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:26,440
possessed Earl and Laura's dad, Leland, and that that's who's

957
01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:30,719
organized their last round of murders. It's not really Leland,

958
01:07:30,719 --> 01:07:34,280
and it's not really Wyndham Earle. It's Bob possessing these people.

959
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:40,079
And that's why the pattern emerges, the synchronicities emerge, because

960
01:07:40,119 --> 01:07:44,559
it's a spiritual force behind these people who are possessed.

961
01:07:45,559 --> 01:07:48,639
And we think here of books like Maury Terry's book

962
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,119
Ultimate Evil, where we see these kinds of patterns possibly

963
01:07:52,199 --> 01:07:56,480
popping up in murder crimes that could be coincidences, but

964
01:07:56,519 --> 01:08:01,519
they also might go beyond just coincidence and suggest spiritual forces.

965
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,599
Speaker 1: And there's actually quite a few X Files episodes that

966
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,639
hint at this as well. And I think it's worth

967
01:08:09,639 --> 01:08:13,239
pointing out too that there seems I'm not positive this,

968
01:08:13,239 --> 01:08:15,840
This is just a thesis I kind of toyed with.

969
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 2: And I saw one guy online hint at this too.

970
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:25,119
And you see this with like Disney Pixar movies, right,

971
01:08:25,159 --> 01:08:29,000
So some people make these interesting arguments, and I wondered

972
01:08:29,119 --> 01:08:31,319
this in the past, but I never really focused on

973
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:34,199
doing a piece on it because it's it's just so speculative.

974
01:08:34,199 --> 01:08:38,399
But you know, some people will argue that the Pixar

975
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,800
movies are all taking place in the same universe, and

976
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:46,119
so you'll have cross references in those those fictional kids

977
01:08:46,159 --> 01:08:50,079
movies right between I don't know, the Incredibles. You know,

978
01:08:50,119 --> 01:08:52,119
this is taking place maybe at a different time, but

979
01:08:52,159 --> 01:08:56,680
it's the same world of you know, finding Nemo or something.

980
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:03,760
I think that Lynch does this, and there's a few

981
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:07,840
examples of this now. For example, in Wild at Heart,

982
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,560
the character Cheryl I always get Cheryl Lee and sheryln Finn.

983
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:22,199
Cheryl Lee is her that actress's character seems to be

984
01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:26,720
in Wild at Heart, where Nicholas Cage and Laura Nern's

985
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:31,560
character are Leland and Lula are driving down a highway

986
01:09:32,399 --> 01:09:35,279
and it's a kind of lost highway and they bump

987
01:09:35,359 --> 01:09:37,039
into a car.

988
01:09:37,119 --> 01:09:38,199
Speaker 1: There there's a car rack out in.

989
01:09:38,199 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 2: The middle of the desert at night, and they find

990
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:46,560
a wandering Charylyn Finn type character who's on our way

991
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,760
to Hollywood. We get the impression maybe and she's got

992
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,720
a severe head wound, she's been killed and she kind

993
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,000
of pops into this this this fictional world and then

994
01:09:57,039 --> 01:10:01,359
out of that fictional world. Now is Lynch saying that

995
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:10,079
the character that Sheriylyn Finn plays in Sherylyn Flynn plays

996
01:10:10,119 --> 01:10:16,159
in Twin Peaks is that the fictional character who ends

997
01:10:16,239 --> 01:10:23,199
up in Lost Highway possibly possibly, And my thesis makes

998
01:10:23,239 --> 01:10:26,319
sense when you think about Inlinn Empire, because in Inland

999
01:10:26,399 --> 01:10:30,760
Empire you have Laura Dern who's also in Lost Highway.

1000
01:10:31,119 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me.

1001
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 2: In The Wilded Heart, it's all about meta, right, So

1002
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:39,000
it's like meta meta meta. There's like three levels removed

1003
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,800
of meta in ill An Empire, and we get possibly

1004
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,560
the impression that with the rabbits, right, the famous rabbit

1005
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:52,640
bunny scene from ill An Empire. That we're talking about

1006
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:57,079
entering and walking out of people's psyches, this is what

1007
01:10:57,159 --> 01:10:59,199
Laura Dern seems to do. She kind of seems to

1008
01:10:59,319 --> 01:11:03,760
tap into the psyche of different horrors from like, you know,

1009
01:11:04,159 --> 01:11:06,720
fifty or sixty years prior to her in Poland. So

1010
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:10,359
time and space are out of the way, and there's

1011
01:11:10,399 --> 01:11:16,479
this walking into other people's dreams and mindscapes, dreamscapes and

1012
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:21,439
subconscious stepping through the ether down halls and doorways, and

1013
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,119
we see this. Fred does this and Lost Highway where

1014
01:11:24,119 --> 01:11:28,279
he seems to step into the psyche of Balthazar Getty's

1015
01:11:28,319 --> 01:11:34,359
character Pete in the second half of Lost Highway. So

1016
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,399
cross fictional worlds melding and mixing, right, the same sort

1017
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:45,840
of thesis that is Stephen King's notion in the Dark

1018
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,000
Tower series. Right, So if you know what happens in

1019
01:11:49,039 --> 01:11:51,239
the Dark Tower series, that Tower is just kind of

1020
01:11:51,279 --> 01:11:55,760
like in the middle of the alternate worlds, and you

1021
01:11:56,239 --> 01:11:58,560
walk through different doors in the Tower and you can

1022
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,319
step into different people's psyche, and not just different people's psyches,

1023
01:12:01,359 --> 01:12:05,359
but into fictional worlds. And that's why the clown from

1024
01:12:05,399 --> 01:12:07,199
Stephen King's It will show up in.

1025
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,199
Speaker 1: In the Dark.

1026
01:12:12,079 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 2: Tower series, And I'm just using it as an example

1027
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:20,439
of this of the mixing and fictional worlds, and maybe

1028
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,800
there's a deeper metaphysical possibility. Here is something I've wondered

1029
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,319
and speculated on just on my own, Like, what if

1030
01:12:27,399 --> 01:12:29,560
that's actually kind of true?

1031
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: What do you mean that's crazy?

1032
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's true in the sense that if the astral

1033
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,640
realm is real, if their psychosphere is real, the ether,

1034
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,359
and if that's where we go like when we sleep

1035
01:12:41,399 --> 01:12:46,560
and dream, then maybe when we you know, die, you know,

1036
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:48,520
who knows where we go, what we step into in

1037
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,840
terms of, you know, before meeting our final deserts of

1038
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,000
judgment y or whatever. You know, maybe we spend a

1039
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
period of time in that realm. I don't know, but

1040
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,920
definitely possible. You know, this is what happens to people

1041
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,640
in out of body experiences or you know, intense drug

1042
01:13:05,159 --> 01:13:11,119
hallucinogen trips, and you know, you maybe, you know, maybe

1043
01:13:11,159 --> 01:13:14,000
it is possible to step into fictional worlds, because what

1044
01:13:14,079 --> 01:13:19,239
are fictional worlds but simply manifestations of another person's subconscious

1045
01:13:19,279 --> 01:13:24,960
put into art. Interesting, right, that's my own personal thesis.

1046
01:13:25,039 --> 01:13:27,439
All right, it can't prove that, but just something I've

1047
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:31,359
been speculating on. You're listening to Esoteric Hollywood and I'm

1048
01:13:31,359 --> 01:13:34,039
your host, Jay Dyer of Jasonelsis dot com. I want

1049
01:13:34,079 --> 01:13:36,560
to remind you to to check out Michigan Mushrooms dot

1050
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:41,600
net where you have the best selection of organic mushrooms

1051

picked directly out of the forest, no GMO, no crap

1052
01:13:45,319 --> 01:13:50,159
from corporations. Michigan Mushrooms dot net. Will they go out

1053
01:13:50,159 --> 01:13:53,920
and do their own harvesting and then they take shaga

1054
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:14,920
mushrooms and send them to you. Welcome back. You're listening

1055
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,680
to Esoltary Hollywood. I want to remind you that that

1056
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,159
interest song that you hear for Esoltaire Hollywood is dream

1057
01:14:21,199 --> 01:14:25,760
Agent and this is by Aerial Electron, Holy Spies and

1058
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,159
Terry Goatee, and you can find that online if you

1059
01:14:29,199 --> 01:14:31,680
type in the core A COSMU album k O R

1060
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,720
E k O U wait k O R E k

1061
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:38,680
O S m o U and the song is dream

1062
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,399
Agent and you can find that to download or to

1063
01:14:41,399 --> 01:14:43,680
purchase the CD, which I think is really good.

1064
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: Ariel's music is.

1065
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 2: Excellent now, so dream Agent is appropriate here because we've

1066
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:55,399
been talking about my philosophy of the dream world, the

1067
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:59,159
dream realm, the spiritual realm, the ether, and how it

1068
01:14:59,239 --> 01:15:05,439
relates to these curious surrealist presentations from David Lynch, and

1069
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:08,520
I likened it to things like the Dark Tower series

1070
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:13,880
with Stephen King, and we've been talking about Bob and

1071
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,560
the spirit Bob that possesses people to commit murders under

1072
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:24,319
the auspices of the higher demon, the man from another place, right,

1073
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:33,359
and you know, this astral realm, this realm of the imagine, imagination,

1074
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:37,279
the imaginal. This comes up quite a bit in David

1075
01:15:37,359 --> 01:15:43,000
Lynch's philosophy because David Lynch runs the Transcendental Meditation Foundation, well,

1076
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,279
he runs the Lynch Foundation, which is tied into Transcendental Meditation,

1077
01:15:46,359 --> 01:15:49,760
I should say, And if you watch interviews with David Lynch,

1078
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:55,199
he talks about this, and he discusses the inner world,

1079
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,479
of the psyche, of the subconscious and so forth as

1080
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:04,039
these this wellspring from which artists can draw creativity. And

1081
01:16:04,079 --> 01:16:06,319
then you know, you get into the history of TM

1082
01:16:06,399 --> 01:16:09,159
and this going back to the Beatles, and this going.

1083
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: Back to Maharishi Mahishiogi and.

1084
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 2: These different practices and techniques of self improvement through meditation

1085
01:16:18,039 --> 01:16:22,479
and so forth, and the Eastern Zenish influence upon Lynch

1086
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:27,840
and in his film works, which you know, when I

1087
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,439
was eighteen or nineteen, you know, I would go and

1088
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,000
watch David lynch movies in the theater and I was like,

1089
01:16:33,079 --> 01:16:34,760
what the heck is going on. I don't get any

1090
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,960
of this. None of this makes sense. This is just

1091
01:16:38,039 --> 01:16:41,960
completely crazy. And as I got older and you know,

1092
01:16:42,039 --> 01:16:46,760
really delved into philosophy, esoterica, theology and so forth, it

1093
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,520
started making a lot more sense. I started, really, I think,

1094
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:55,399
getting a better handle on David Lynch's movies and and artwork.

1095
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,399
And this is what it is, right, I mean, this

1096
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,479
is what he says in interviews. This is you know,

1097
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:03,159
you can watch his interview with the Lipton that whatever

1098
01:17:03,199 --> 01:17:05,239
that guy, Bruce Lipton or whatever his name is, that

1099
01:17:05,279 --> 01:17:09,720
does all the sit downs with actors and directors, and

1100
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,119
you can watch that on YouTube, and Lynch will talk

1101
01:17:13,159 --> 01:17:16,119
about what I'm talking about. So it's not just me

1102
01:17:16,199 --> 01:17:19,359
speculating here, him trying to try to get an impression

1103
01:17:19,399 --> 01:17:21,960
of this from David Lynch's mind himself, to see what

1104
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,079
he says about his films, and this is essentially what

1105
01:17:24,119 --> 01:17:28,359
he says and so in that final sequence, you know

1106
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,800
why is Cooper possessed? Well, as we said, he went

1107
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,560
too far into the dark side, but Cooper ends up trapped.

1108
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:42,239
We discover his spirit, right he confronts his unconscious shade

1109
01:17:42,279 --> 01:17:46,159
self as well as facing up to his responsibility for

1110
01:17:46,279 --> 01:17:49,840
past deaths. And Cooper ends up trapped with Annie and

1111
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,800
Laura in the Black Lodge. It's kind of a prison

1112
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:59,399
as a demonic Bob slash Cooper will we get the

1113
01:17:59,399 --> 01:18:02,159
impression again wreaking habits. So now Cooper is going to

1114
01:18:02,199 --> 01:18:08,119
be the possessed agent here. It's also worth noting that

1115
01:18:09,359 --> 01:18:13,600
here in this feature film, Laura's initial journey in the

1116
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:15,720
film all Right Twin Peaks far a Walk with Me,

1117
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,800
The initial journeys into the dreamscape slash astral Realm result

1118
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,359
in an encounter with Annie, Cooper's girlfriend in season two,

1119
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:31,680
and she says in the movie that she is with

1120
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,000
Laura and Coop right now. This is interesting because it

1121
01:18:35,039 --> 01:18:39,479
came out prior to the conclusion of season two where

1122
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,199
we find out what happened to Annie. Right So, and

1123
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:47,840
as is the case in Lynch's Muholland Drive, it's electrical phenomena.

1124
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,760
As we said in static charges that tend to accompany

1125
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,479
the manifestation of these other worldly spirits, so they seem

1126
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,119
to have some sort of ability to travel through electricity.

1127
01:18:58,079 --> 01:18:59,159
Speaker 1: Now the Black Lodge.

1128
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:04,359
Speaker 2: Members can do this, it seems, and then manifest in

1129
01:19:04,399 --> 01:19:08,760
some sort of physical form like the Cowboy character in

1130
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:13,560
Mholland Drive. Anyone who's seen Mholland Drive you know about

1131
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:18,800
the Cowboy. So in conclusion, I think what we're going

1132
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:23,119
to see in the return of Twin Peaks has this

1133
01:19:23,399 --> 01:19:28,840
eerie connection to what Laura predicted in the original series.

1134
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,479
So I don't know how this I get. I mean

1135
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:37,119
it was planned apparently, because in the original series, I

1136
01:19:37,159 --> 01:19:41,119
think it's episode three where we first see Laura in

1137
01:19:41,319 --> 01:19:47,479
the Black Lodge Spirit Realm, and Laura says, you know,

1138
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,800
in the Spirit Realm, I'll see you in twenty five

1139
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:54,239
years in reverse, in reverse but.

1140
01:19:54,239 --> 01:19:58,319
Speaker 1: Put into forward anyway, which you can see this clip.

1141
01:19:58,359 --> 01:20:01,159
Speaker 2: I'll play this clip here the show here in a minute.

1142
01:20:01,239 --> 01:20:05,079
But yeah, so it's like in the show twenty five

1143
01:20:05,119 --> 01:20:08,359
years ago, Laura says I'll see you in twenty five years,

1144
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,479
and then Twin Peaks is being rebooted twenty five years later.

1145
01:20:12,079 --> 01:20:18,199
It's pretty pretty mind blowing, talk about synchronicity, talk about planning.

1146
01:20:18,279 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

1147
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,600
Speaker 2: All right, So Laura says to an old Coop in

1148
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:27,279
the Black Lodge where there's this in this scene back

1149
01:20:27,319 --> 01:20:31,359
in nineteen ninety one, there's an old cal McLaughlin wearing makeup,

1150
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,119
I'll see you again in twenty five years, hinting that

1151
01:20:35,199 --> 01:20:38,199
this would return, And then twenty five years later it's returning.

1152
01:20:39,119 --> 01:20:42,159
So with a recent announcement then of the show Showtime

1153
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,399
picking up the reboot within the last year, I think

1154
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:48,640
we can expect an even deeper foray into the unconscious

1155
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:54,239
of both Laura and Agent Cooper. And even if for

1156
01:20:54,279 --> 01:20:56,640
some reason the show doesn't return, you know, the original

1157
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,960
series and the feature film have an amazingly precise wind

1158
01:21:00,159 --> 01:21:03,640
into the real America, a land haunted by I believe,

1159
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:10,199
primal elemental spirits of the past Native American deities, controlled

1160
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,720
by a cult that adheres.

1161
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,560
Speaker 1: To these kinds of ancient beliefs. Right, the real so

1162
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,159
called illuminati, the.

1163
01:21:19,119 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 2: American power elite, are like kind of ben Horn. But

1164
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,000
ben Horn right that the money power, I guess you

1165
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,640
could say, but the ben Horn money power is subservient

1166
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:34,479
to the preternatural forces that they can't control that would

1167
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,399
be behind this veil of obscurity that lies in a

1168
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:45,359
cult elite whose power seems to derive from a black lodge. Now,

1169
01:21:47,199 --> 01:21:51,359
a bit of reflection here on what we're seeing in this.

1170
01:21:52,319 --> 01:21:53,199
Speaker 1: What does all this mean?

1171
01:21:53,239 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 2: Well, as we said, it's it's partly satire, but it's

1172
01:21:58,239 --> 01:22:03,159
it's dark satire. And I've seen interesting presentations that many

1173
01:22:03,199 --> 01:22:05,680
of the characters match up to.

1174
01:22:07,159 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: The archetypes of the Tarot deck.

1175
01:22:09,039 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: But then again, I mean the archetypes of the Tarot

1176
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,800
deck are just based on archetypes anyway, So I don't.

1177
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:17,239
Speaker 1: Know about all that.

1178
01:22:17,319 --> 01:22:20,119
Speaker 2: But you know, there's no question that the film is

1179
01:22:20,159 --> 01:22:23,960
about synchronicity, that the series about synchronicity. It's about the

1180
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,600
Eastern version and notion of these things, which when you

1181
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,880
go further back into far Eastern alchemy and lore, what

1182
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,439
you find is that it bears all these same similarities

1183
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:37,199
to Western esoterica and their medicism in alchemy. So that

1184
01:22:37,359 --> 01:22:41,880
to me suggests some perennial, primordial source of whatever we

1185
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:49,840
call the perennial tradition. Now that is hinted at right

1186
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,039
in the goeshia and the sigils that are in the

1187
01:22:53,079 --> 01:22:58,159
background of the crime scene when Cooper and the officers

1188
01:22:58,159 --> 01:23:04,359
are investigating, and you know, we pretty much find like

1189
01:23:05,159 --> 01:23:09,319
the totality of conspiracy presented here. I mean, there's not

1190
01:23:09,399 --> 01:23:12,840
really any element. I don't think that's left out. I

1191
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,760
mean we have like all the black markets are covered

1192
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:21,199
through being run by ben Horn who's had tied into

1193
01:23:21,199 --> 01:23:24,880
this different mafia groups. And then we have the occult

1194
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:30,760
background that's behind that that's even more nefarious, that's run

1195
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,600
by this kind of hierarchy of demons that will you know,

1196
01:23:34,399 --> 01:23:37,680
once you die if you're a murderer, like Bob and Gerard.

1197
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:42,359
Bob and Garrard are spirits who are put under the

1198
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:47,640
service of the demon, the man from another place. And

1199
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:52,920
it also ties in interestingly to Native American theology and

1200
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,920
spirituality and lore because that's the indigenous you know, religion

1201
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:04,479
prior to the arrival of Christianity in North America. So

1202
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,720
you know, it's kind of like the old old time religion,

1203
01:24:07,319 --> 01:24:10,680
that old time religion, right, but the old old time religion,

1204
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:15,520
which is I guess Native American spirituality, which would involve

1205
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:19,800
the worship of you know, forms of animism and spiritism

1206
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:28,880
and so forth. But underlying that animism and spiritism in

1207
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:34,159
Native Americanism would be, at least according to the perennial view,

1208
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:40,560
a similar pattern, a similar perennial philosophy. And that seems

1209
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,439
to be what's going on here because that ties in

1210
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:52,000
directly to the that that ties directly into the far

1211
01:24:52,079 --> 01:24:59,159
Eastern approach that Lynch seems to favor. Now, the Black

1212
01:24:59,199 --> 01:25:03,800
Lodge is interesting because it features things like Saturn. It's

1213
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:07,920
this imprisoning section. It seems to be somewhat box like,

1214
01:25:08,039 --> 01:25:12,039
but it has Saturnalian image and imagery in it. Because

1215
01:25:12,159 --> 01:25:14,119
you know, when Laura's there, she's sitting next to this

1216
01:25:14,159 --> 01:25:18,560
big lamp. That's this the planet Saturn. Uh.

1217
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: And you know, in.

1218
01:25:21,159 --> 01:25:25,359
Speaker 2: Esoteric thought much of it, at least in the West, Saturn.

1219
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Is likened to the cube, the box, you know, six.

1220
01:25:31,239 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 2: Sides and so forth. And Saturn purportedly has this hexagonal.

1221
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Storm.

1222
01:25:39,239 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 2: There's some sort of hexagonal imagery to the storm that's

1223
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:44,600
on Saturn.

1224
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 1: If we can believe what we're told about Saturn.

1225
01:25:51,119 --> 01:25:53,159
Speaker 2: You know, who knows if that's even if NASA is

1226
01:25:53,199 --> 01:25:55,880
not just faking all those images, I don't know. But

1227
01:25:56,680 --> 01:26:02,680
regardless that, you know, Saturn has connected to human sacrifice historically,

1228
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:06,039
and that's what's happening in Twin Peaks, and that's why

1229
01:26:06,079 --> 01:26:08,760
we see Laura next to the image of Saturn. You're

1230
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,279
listening to Esoteric Hollywood and I'm your host. Jadiyer of

1231
01:26:11,359 --> 01:26:13,560
jays Analysis dot Com stayed two.

1232
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:30,520
Speaker 1: Final segment.

1233
01:26:31,239 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 2: You're at Jay's Analysis and we're talking about Lost Highway,

1234
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:39,560
We're talking about Twin Peaks, We're talking about David Lynch.

1235
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:45,239
Speaker 3: David Lynch, you have to listen to Jadeyer at Jay's Analysis,

1236
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,840
the best breakdown of Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive on

1237
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:49,560
the Internet.

1238
01:26:50,159 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: All Right, that's my David Lynch. I'm done.

1239
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,319
Speaker 2: I won't subject to anymore David Lynch impersonations, I promise,

1240
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:57,560
or I might be lying.

1241
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,359
Speaker 1: I may do it for the rest of the show. Okay, but.

1242
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 2: Remember as we started out, you know, Lynch said, I

1243
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,840
learned just beneath the surface, there's another world and still

1244
01:27:09,039 --> 01:27:13,399
different worlds as you dig deeper. Right, what was the

1245
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:17,359
poem to go along with Twin Peaks? Through the darkness

1246
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:21,640
the futures passed, the magician longs to see one chance

1247
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,079
out between two worlds.

1248
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:27,079
Speaker 1: Fire walk with me, and that is.

1249
01:27:27,279 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 2: A shamanic firewalking type of poetry, right, at least that's

1250
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,880
what's it's intended to invoke. I mean, it's obviously it's fictional,

1251
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:40,439
but that's what it's about, and we're supposed to understand

1252
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:45,520
from that that Cooper is a shaman. And this even

1253
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:49,800
comes up in the show right now. The reason that's

1254
01:27:50,159 --> 01:27:52,720
one of the main reasons that I am quite confident

1255
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:56,119
that my analysis of Twin Peaks is completely spot on,

1256
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:01,920
because as I cite in in my analysis Yoan Kuliano's

1257
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,319
book Out of This World, it's all about the shamanic

1258
01:28:05,399 --> 01:28:08,920
journey and from different religious traditions, perennial philosophy, and then

1259
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:14,399
the treatment of you know, the spiritual worlds, the spiritual realm,

1260
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,319
something like you'd read in Carlos Costanata.

1261
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:22,399
Speaker 1: Right of the journey of the shaman into the spiritual

1262
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:26,319
world or the different other worlds. And you know, that's

1263
01:28:26,319 --> 01:28:29,760
exactly what Twin Peaks is about. And when we look

1264
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:34,760
at the architecture of that world, that philosophy, shamanism, ancient traditions,

1265
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,920
so forth, we tend to see these patterns. Right.

1266
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 2: So when I talk about perennial philosophy or traditionalist philosophy.

1267
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: What I'm talking.

1268
01:28:44,279 --> 01:28:48,399
Speaker 2: About is this kind of movement or school in last

1269
01:28:48,399 --> 01:28:51,319
century one hundred and fifty years. This would be people like

1270
01:28:51,359 --> 01:28:54,760
frietof schu On. This would be people like Merkia Iliad

1271
01:28:55,199 --> 01:29:04,159
or Joan Kulianu or rene Gannon, Rama Kumaraswami or excuse me,

1272
01:29:04,399 --> 01:29:09,000
Ananda kumar Swami. Actually his son Rama kumer Swanmi ended

1273
01:29:09,079 --> 01:29:12,079
up a set of a concious traditional Catholic oddly enough.

1274
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:17,439
But the other characters that we've mentioned would fall roughly

1275
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:23,079
in the perennial tradition. And one might even include Aldus

1276
01:29:23,159 --> 01:29:25,920
Huxley in this tradition, because Huxley has a book called

1277
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,920
The Perennial Philosophy which I've read, and there what you

1278
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:34,319
get is basically this idea of well, all the religions

1279
01:29:34,319 --> 01:29:37,000
are saying the same thing. It's ultimately it's kind of syncretistic.

1280
01:29:37,039 --> 01:29:40,680
So I'm not a huge fan of perennial philosophy, but

1281
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:42,720
I think that there's a lot of insights in those

1282
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:47,399
writers because they're looking to ancient traditions, which can be

1283
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:53,239
insightful at times against the ultimate evil juggernaut of modernity

1284
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:54,399
and atheism.

1285
01:29:56,079 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 1: So even though I wouldn't.

1286
01:29:59,239 --> 01:30:04,039
Speaker 2: Advocate, you know, like Hinduism or something at least talks

1287
01:30:04,079 --> 01:30:07,880
about spiritual realm and so forth, right, which you know,

1288
01:30:08,279 --> 01:30:14,279
atheism is intended to induct everyone into this materialistic, meaningless,

1289
01:30:14,359 --> 01:30:17,840
nihilistic view, and then that's actually ultimately intended to take

1290
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:21,600
people further into Luciferianism. Which this is why the Secret

1291
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:25,560
societies actually talk about, is the implementation of atheism as

1292
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:31,840
a stage as a process of moving humanity supposedly into Luciferianism, right,

1293
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,680
which is kind of a bunch of nonsense in my view,

1294
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:39,359
because Luciferianism is not really in my view, doesn't make

1295
01:30:39,399 --> 01:30:42,880
much sense. But you know, that's why I was citing

1296
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,880
these tantric texts, not to promote tantrism, but to point

1297
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:50,720
out what I think Twin Peaks is talking about. In

1298
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:55,199
Twin Peaks is talking about that intentional language of Sendabayas.

1299
01:30:55,399 --> 01:30:59,239
If you think about the funny scene it's episode two

1300
01:30:59,359 --> 01:31:03,960
or three, where Cooper gathers all the local law enforcement

1301
01:31:05,039 --> 01:31:09,359
and through association and through intentionality, he's going to throw

1302
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,520
rocks at different objects that represent different people, and then

1303
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:15,680
he's writing stuff on a chalkboard based on where the

1304
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:19,239
rocks Land, and that scene is actually pretty funny because

1305
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,119
Cooper says, Oh, I'm actually going to use a Buddhist

1306
01:31:22,119 --> 01:31:24,800
technique to do this, and then everybody else just kind

1307
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:25,560
of thinks he's crazy.

1308
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:28,399
Speaker 1: They don't know what that's going on, and ironically the

1309
01:31:31,319 --> 01:31:35,520
divination technique of Cooper ends up being right. But I

1310
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,000
think it's great too that. You know, I don't know

1311
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:42,479
what Lynch's motivations are for this, but you know, Cooper.

1312
01:31:44,039 --> 01:31:46,800
Speaker 2: Delves deeper into the dark side and he ends up possessed,

1313
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:51,880
and you know, that's a that's a positive warning. You know,

1314
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:55,479
whether David Lynch intends that to be the positive.

1315
01:31:55,079 --> 01:31:59,159
Speaker 1: Warning or not, I don't. I don't know, but.

1316
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:01,039
Speaker 2: That's at least what happens in the storyline of the show,

1317
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:08,279
and we see that in Lost Highway too. In Lost Highway,

1318
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:10,760
you know, Fred kind of gives into his dark side

1319
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:14,640
and he turns into this demonic kind of creature who's

1320
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,279
more or less possessed by I guess Robert Blake, who's

1321
01:32:17,359 --> 01:32:21,399
like the double character in that film, the Man in

1322
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:24,319
Black in that film, right, So we have the man

1323
01:32:24,359 --> 01:32:29,880
from another place, the Man in Black, evoking this government agent,

1324
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:33,000
but like government agent of the double kind of thing.

1325
01:32:34,039 --> 01:32:38,399
The man from another place is this midget, little double character,

1326
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:44,279
the joker trickster. But he's a trickster who demands ritual sacrifice.

1327
01:32:44,279 --> 01:32:46,680
And you know, I think ritual sacrifice does happen. It's

1328
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:50,319
happened in human history, and it probably still goes on.

1329
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:53,800
And then, you know, if you have this occultic view

1330
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:57,039
that many of the elites seem to have, then what

1331
01:32:57,079 --> 01:33:00,399
you believe about human sacrifices that you're actually off bring

1332
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:07,560
the energy of humanity as a transference of power into

1333
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:11,159
the spiritual realm, where you're directing that power towards some intention. Right,

1334
01:33:11,239 --> 01:33:13,920
So you want to further your goals or the idea

1335
01:33:14,039 --> 01:33:19,279
is well, I can placate spirits perhaps or just you know,

1336
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:26,199
push this spiritual energy out by intentionally, you know, sacrificing people. Now,

1337
01:33:26,199 --> 01:33:28,119
how might that may Well, it might be done through war.

1338
01:33:28,159 --> 01:33:29,960
You might send a whole bunch of people to war,

1339
01:33:30,319 --> 01:33:32,880
you know, to fight and battle as a kind of

1340
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:38,000
big human sacrifice. You might implement things like abortion as

1341
01:33:38,039 --> 01:33:41,600
a human sacrifice, with the offering of the first born

1342
01:33:43,119 --> 01:33:48,520
of a good portion of American citizens. Right, the abortion

1343
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,119
clinics that are everywhere, and then we see these videos

1344
01:33:51,159 --> 01:33:54,359
coming out of planned parenthood where they're giggling and laughing

1345
01:33:54,359 --> 01:33:57,720
about it. Assuming you know, all those videos are what

1346
01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:58,680
they're presented as.

1347
01:33:58,800 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're fake.

1348
01:34:00,039 --> 01:34:02,159
Speaker 2: I'm just saying assuming that, you know, who knows what's

1349
01:34:02,199 --> 01:34:05,840
going on with videos these days? There's so much trickery,

1350
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,960
hoaxery and fakery out there that you have to be

1351
01:34:09,039 --> 01:34:12,399
kind of skeptical, is all I'm saying. But yeah, you know,

1352
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:16,159
there's certainly people who are that sick where they're like

1353
01:34:16,319 --> 01:34:18,359
joking about baby parts and.

1354
01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: To put you know, just just mind blowing stuff. You know,

1355
01:34:24,079 --> 01:34:26,239
it makes more sense as a sacrifice.

1356
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 2: You know, even if every one of those individuals involved

1357
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:34,039
in a planned parenthood locale doesn't intentionally talk about it

1358
01:34:34,079 --> 01:34:36,800
being a human sacrifice or know that or believe that

1359
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:41,439
from the monetary powers and influence far above them, it

1360
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:47,239
could very well be that. And you know, you may

1361
01:34:47,279 --> 01:34:50,199
think that sounds crazy, But then when you see things

1362
01:34:50,199 --> 01:34:52,439
come out in the news like Savile and so forth,

1363
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:56,279
where there appear to be people who believe these things,

1364
01:34:57,520 --> 01:34:58,479
you know they're probably going.

1365
01:34:58,479 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 1: To act on it.

1366
01:35:00,279 --> 01:35:02,239
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know for sure, I'm just saying

1367
01:35:02,239 --> 01:35:05,600
this is this could be the case. And you know,

1368
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,640
I did a recent interview with Greg Moffatt of Legalized

1369
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,039
Freedom and we talked about this there where we got

1370
01:35:11,079 --> 01:35:14,079
into the subject of Shaman's Demons in Hollywood. So you

1371
01:35:14,119 --> 01:35:15,880
can listen to that interview and I actually have I

1372
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:19,880
played that a couple of shows back. The majority of

1373
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,079
that interview here on Esolteraire Hollywood, where.

1374
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:27,239
Speaker 1: We got into the connection between these things.

1375
01:35:27,279 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 2: You might think, well, what would there be connection, Why

1376
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,600
would there be a connection between Shaman's Demons in Hollywood? Well,

1377
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:36,319
there could be, and I make that argument there.

1378
01:35:36,399 --> 01:35:37,239
Speaker 1: And if we.

1379
01:35:37,199 --> 01:35:40,199
Speaker 2: Want to get a real picture, I think of, you know,

1380
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,800
of the conspiracy put into film. You know a lot

1381
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,319
of people talk about is White Shut and I've you know,

1382
01:35:46,319 --> 01:35:50,119
I've dealt extensively with I White Shut or the Ninth

1383
01:35:50,159 --> 01:35:52,560
Gate with Johnny Depp, which you know we'll eventually do

1384
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:56,840
an episode of Esoteric Hollywood on that show. But another

1385
01:35:56,920 --> 01:36:00,079
example would be Twin Peaks, and I can't think of,

1386
01:36:00,079 --> 01:36:03,399
as I said, I can't think of an element of

1387
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:07,359
the so called conspiracy that is left out of that film.

1388
01:36:07,399 --> 01:36:11,159
And in my view of the so called conspiracy only

1389
01:36:11,199 --> 01:36:13,079
makes sense when you have a spiritual realm.

1390
01:36:13,199 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: Right, It's not just human beings, you know.

1391
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:20,359
Speaker 2: Coordinating a large scale global human destruction.

1392
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:22,520
Speaker 1: An enslavement.

1393
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:30,159
Speaker 2: It's directed by spiritual evil. Right now, I don't believe

1394
01:36:30,159 --> 01:36:33,439
that spiritual evil is you know, has total control or power.

1395
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:35,520
But this is what we see, you know, in Matthew

1396
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:39,640
Matthew four, where the devil says to Jesus, you know,

1397
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:41,319
let me take you up on a mountain. I'll show

1398
01:36:41,359 --> 01:36:43,560
you the kingdoms of the world. These have been given

1399
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,680
to me for a time, right, He offers the kingdoms

1400
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:50,399
of the world, and we get the impression that, you know,

1401
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:56,000
this is for some period of time. But you know,

1402
01:36:56,119 --> 01:36:59,920
ultimately in the biblical presentation, at least you know that's

1403
01:37:01,119 --> 01:37:01,680
that's not the.

1404
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,520
Speaker 1: Final end of the story. It's not ultimately the devil

1405
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:05,079
that wins.

1406
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:09,520
Speaker 2: Although people who buy into the dark Side and gnosticism

1407
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:14,479
and all these different alternative religious views and occultism and

1408
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:17,000
not so much satanism that's kind of just hedonism, but

1409
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:19,880
the presentations of you know, people that people that really

1410
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:24,640
believe in like real, real Luciferian spiritual you know, things

1411
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,159
like that they think that you know, the dark side

1412
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:29,319
has the upper hand.

1413
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so, you know, I think

1414
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:32,199
that the Bible has a better.

1415
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:37,359
Speaker 2: A better explanation, is a better model of categorizing and

1416
01:37:37,399 --> 01:37:41,359
explaining what the conspiracy really is. It's not ultimately a

1417
01:37:41,359 --> 01:37:47,039
conspiracy of just rich guys, you know, because rich, rich

1418
01:37:47,079 --> 01:37:50,079
guys are still humans, They're still finite, they're still limited.

1419
01:37:50,319 --> 01:37:55,119
But we have evil existing from the dawn of time

1420
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,840
afflicting humanity, right, not just rich to get rich guys.

1421
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,039
So a lot of people, you know, aren't willing to

1422
01:38:03,119 --> 01:38:08,119
go beyond the material realm, or the physical realm, or

1423
01:38:08,119 --> 01:38:12,560
the human realm of understanding the so called conspiracy. And ironically,

1424
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,479
the Bible all along has described the so called conspiracy,

1425
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,239
and it's a conspiracy of the devil to destroy man

1426
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,239
and to wipe out the image of God and man.

1427
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:25,239
You're listening to Esolterary, Hollywood, thank you for staying with me,

1428
01:38:25,479 --> 01:39:20,039
and we were listening. We were deconstructing Twin Peaks.
