This was the task for June 3rd 2024. Just put in front of me.
It occurred to me every one of the kites leaning against the fence has been handmade by a child, and bears a name for each one. Then noticed that nearly all the names are biblical. For me that was notable because the exception, the one non-Biblical name on the fence, on the bat kite, “Teddy”, (- the only kite with a Halloween connotation or negative or “dark” symbol), just happens to be the name of the man who baptized me at age seven in a pure green clear cold river, -Ted. This is for “Theodore”, meaning “gift of God”. (One of my siblings has the same name meaning in Hebrew.) So in my personal point of view not only is the individual who baptized me named on the only kite with a dark symbol, symbolizing salvation, but it happens to be one of the names in the family by meaning. Then noticed that with the one kite flying in the sky, that makes for seven children, three girls and four boys. I’m the oldest of five boys and two girls. The Biblical names right to left are Sarah, Jesse, Zach, (Teddy), Caleb and Hanna. The flying heart kite bears the name “Polly”, the only other non-Biblical name of the seven. Additionally the artist added a not too subliminal cross to Hanna’s “Hawk” kite, and there’s a cross on Jesse’s kite too.
To really cap things off, the homemade flag on the bell station says “The Nantucket High Flyers Club”. Which is not off the mark, given we were raised on a minor cornucopia of mind altering substances by our parents, the youngest from the age of seven. I personally tabulated having done LSD under their auspices an estimated 50 times. All very past tense.
So I look up the only other non-Biblical name of the seven first, because I am planning to look up all of them and I want to know what the only one in the sky as a heart really might mean, if anything.
Turns out Polly is a diminutive for Molly is a diminutive for Mary and actually means “star of the sea”, from the Latin “Stella Maris”, a term for Mary mother of Christ. And that’s where I drop, because symbolism.
The longest running patterns in the lyrical symbolism in the universal music feedback were the star as feminine object and the sea, for the universal unconscious sea (also often in the feminine). So if an object is defined as a feminine “Star” and this arises universally through an array of artists, this makes her the Star of the Sea.
After having introduced both these symbols in the above context as part of the takeover of Billy Corgan’s Mystery of Machina contest on the SP Forum, shifting it into the Machina Mysteries, on the Smashing Pumpkins Official website (that had actually been launched to announce the end of the band), Billy went on to form Zwan (the only album with a rainbow on the cover). Where WPC’s concerned, the advent of the rainbow indicates a landmark shift into Christianity.
After my Machina Mysteries had produced effects such as members complaining about how the Mystery had suddenly become the Gospel of Mark, Billy produced his first Christian content in terms of the combined extended track “Jesus I/Mary Star of the Sea”, which was rather astonishing from my point of view because this put the symbolism I’d announced and analyzed for “June” in the Christian context, which was what I’d already done. I thought the merger was something he’d opted to coin based on what he’d witnessed, but he cleared that up pretty quickly by announcing via his livejournal account that “Mary Star of the Sea” was a Catholic church he had prayed at in Florida during recording. It was with this post he mentioned having Catholic roots in his family tree and a return to them. There are quite a few churches of this moniker in Florida, for it is not uncommon, it turns out, for Catholic churches on islands or coastlines. It developed from the Hebrew name root for Mary “Miryam”’s literal translation, “bitter sea”, as in salt sea. Or it simply arose from a mis-translation.
Billy’s post explaining the album title was the first I learned of the term. It felt like gaslighting at the time, that he was hiding the underlying meaning he’d discovered, yet signifying it at the same time. It was, after all, a perfect mashup of the symbolism I’d introduced. And the song on the album had zero religious reference, which just struck me as gaslighting doubled. It merely described a state of depression as rain. So it was an act of deliberate erasure of the symbolism if he had been apprised and was in any way aware of it. But “Jesus I” was potentially a declaration of belief at the same time, a shift on a gospel traditional.
That he hid this advent (describing personal effect while perhaps hiding the cause), doesn’t seem too off the mark in retrospect because he re-invoked Mother Mary on his Twitter in 2009 when he was announcing being totally in love with “you”, (and no one knew who he was addressing), while he was responding quite regularly to my livejournal account which was set so only he could read it. He hid the situation by only addressing “you” on his official Twitter account. By this I mean he was making grandiose declarations of love that invoked the same scale of belief and equated his belief in his love object and Mary as no different, which is a real LOL considering what the overall goal of these declarations was, as in persuading me to post the pictures he’d tried to solicit. Anyway I digress, and will leave off with the only other associative bat symbolism anywhere in my life, which is appropriate in retrospect. I had this single in my collection, but the first advent of the Batman logo with a (massive) personal effect was U2’s “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me”, (the last of Mac Phisto for quite a while). So we’ll address that in order of appearance, a little. (The song is searchable in the iBook.)
And with that rabbit hole out of the way, let’s look at the attendant imagery on the kites, and the rest of the Biblical name meanings. The first kite in line on the fence has a rainbow and sun on it, depicted as Sarah’s. Sarah is the mother of the nation of Israel in the Bible, the nation unto God.
This image pairing interpolates in my brain as the sun symbolism announced as one of the symbols for Christ manifesting in the music feedback future tense in October 2021, with the re-advent of the rainbow presently, effectively pairing the Now with the shift into Christianity this symbolized in the past the only time I ever revealed myself as a proof exercise to one person twenty four years ago (one, because I only put the sum of observations to Billy/WPC directly by couriered letter, not publicly on the SP Forum).
Recently there’s been “Just Another Rainbow” (03/01/24), which just happens to visit the rainbow theme in the Irish leprechaun analogy, when the individual more responsible than any other for hiding what he is doing situation-ally with his lyrics in terms of an object he is identifying and knows about is an Irishman named Bono, hiding a proverbial pot of gold. The rainbow is apparent, but the reward or revelation is not. In the universal context (meaning if I am interpreting this situation-ally), this suppression is a piss off. There is a signifying sign appearing universally in the inspirational music feedback (Biblically of God’s grace in terms of the great flood, the sign of getting to begin anew), but no foundation or explanation.
And then with the new tête-à-tête, it became an signifying exchange in the Now, with a communication in green of “Crystal Ball” from this profile, (-prompted because green “FROGS”), which was immediately followed by the release of “Rainbow Ball” by Kings of Leon, with an elapse of less than 24 hours from sending “Crystal Ball” until “Rainbow Ball”’s release. Not unpacking that one yet, we’ll see if “the score is four” turns out to mean what appears to be signified from this vantage, or not, but it’s already there anyway, so we’ll get to it when we get that far in song analysis. A statement of boundaries/bad luck misses with “I did it all for love”. (In conjunction with “Sarah” it’s almost a little terrifying, but when has it not been? It’s on a potential upside as opposed to downside, a long time coming.)
On with the line up:
The second kite is Jesse’s, meaning, "the Lord exists”. Biblically the father of David, Israel’s most auspicious king. The kite has a moth or butterfly on it. Butterfly symbolism was prominent at the time, having to do with this writer’s self conceptions as imagination from fourteen. It’s a searchable term in the book for symbolic reasons, which weren’t a known but relate very heavily to the fourteen year old’s conceptions.
The third kite is Zach’s, with a lightning bolt. Zechariah means “the Lord has remembered”, and is a prophet in the Old Testament. The Greek form, Zacharias, is used in the KJV for the father of John the Baptist, a Levite Priest. The writer’s father claimed to be the reincarnation of John the Baptist and Elijah. Two of my brothers are Biblical “Z” names.
The lightning bolt only became symbolic with the 120 page letter, because there was a strike behind me less than fifty feet away while I was writing it, at a very important threshold. It has already appeared in the music feedback multiple times after that, with the strongest representation being Arcade Fire’s. Then there’s the shorts. Given my pov on what was signified every time the lightning hit, I felt that was appropriate.
Then we have the “Teddy” kite with the Batman logo. The two Batman logos in my life were complementary in their respective inspirational roles. It’s a little lengthy to explain (it took a book), but one initiated the “Salome” concept, and the second finished it. (This video was an inversion of the play by Oscar Wilde, reversing the villain/victim.) And it was the iteration of Salvation in a literal way. (All this is obviously searchable in the iBook.) “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” had to do with dodging the metaphysical bullet, an imposed crucifixion complex.
Next we have “Caleb” with a tornado on it. Caleb along with Joshua were the only two spies who first forayed into Canaan and returned to Moses with a good as opposed to bias review, which the other spies ginned up to avoid invading it.
While we have tornadoes and I’ve already stated the frequency at the time in the above lightning hyperlink, here it’s more a matter of hurricanes. This is a hurricane emoji, which got a lot of use in 2022, -especially when Hurricane Ian was dead set on Tampa as a Cat 4 or 5, but literally performed a “hard right” within twelve hours of landfall, defying all storm track predictions to hit Fort Myers instead.
Someone going into my songs catalog with intent for months triggered things back to where they’d been in 2020, meaning it became a conversant stretch mentally from July 11th onward, which again initiated with an extremely close proximity lightning strike with massive thunder. It was still conversant at this point in September, and when I awoke the morning Ian was set to make landfall my first statement was, “I am not afraid. He told me overnight what it’s going to do.” [Close enough.] The next thing that happened was my son’s “HS” exclamation in the living room as he was agog at the change from the newly updated hurricane track he checked, which had not altered to missing us as opposed to a direct hit until around 9-10 am on the same day Ian made landfall. The wind map tracking speeds as it passed is exactly what He told me during the night it was going to do. If it had not changed course, we were being hazarded by a standing dead fall tree leaning right over our house that the property owner refused to cut down.
Basically the dividing line between Category 1 And Category 3 and above force winds was directly over or just above the Skyway Bridge, just below St. Petersburg. It missed as close as He said it would.
Last on the fence we have “Hanna”, with a hawk and a cross on her kite. Hannah is a derivative of “Channah” in Hebrew, meaning “favor” or “grace” (mother of prophet Samuel in the Bible). “Grace” was one of the signatory songs Bono produced after we met in Ireland and I handed him two sets of letters, the first set of which he appeared to name both his sons after who my father claimed to be. After I handed him a document dubbed “The Sanctification Principle” for Christmas, which tried to describe how I enacted Grace as an active, completely transformative dynamic on faith (and told him how there was an existing inspirational musical feedback loop with a feminine object that was going to reflect and play this out as an event, with universal effect), Bono penned “Grace” as a woman signified by music as she walked to work who makes beauty out of ugly things. Situation-ally you could not invert a more inverted circumstance from darkness to light, which I tried my best to convey without actually telling him just how dire it had been. I bet Bono wishes that “Grace” wasn’t such a hawk eye now, ha-ha. Bill Gates actually, because Bill Gates hasn’t done a single public association or donation with any of Bono’s charity or awareness campaigns since these were published. If he still provides support, it’s actually charitable, as opposed a philanthrowash operation for the sake of himself and his billionaire benefactor (Warren Buffett), etc.
Lastly we have the “Star or the Sea” kite in the air who’s a heart, i.e., love. The one actually flying. In the above essay delivered to Bono for Christmas, I asserted that only perfect altruism would have worked in imparting transcendence, love as the true and only salvation/path to victory. Basically I was trying create the perfect circumstance for Grace to appear, total belief that condemnation had no place but that if I accepted that imposition correctly, if I believed totally in Redemption and Christ’s Grace to the extent I would sooner disappear if God didn’t exist to arbitrage my fate as per His will, and not be afraid to surrender to that judgment on the faith He really did exist and Grace would restore me, made Grace in the form of Christ’s Redemption appear. While it was the surrender to Grace’s arbitrage, it was the opposite way of doing it. A little hard to describe, but I did try. And that was the dynamic I attempted to intercept in the existing feedback loop with Bono, by appearing ahead of time before he wrote about it. So it really is sort of a chicken or egg conundrum at this point. After I appeared, Bono wrote a number of things, including “Kite”, and the depiction in the video for “Beautiful Day” of a heart transiting security X-Ray at the airport in an arriving/departing suitcase. And now here we are.
The “Star of the Sea” diminutive is the kite in the air.
The annual mass the Apostleship of the Sea (AOS) is dubbed the Feast of Stella Maris, Our Lady, Star of the Sea, falling on September 27th. (Hurricane Ian, it so happens, missed us on September 29th (the date U2 started their Vegas residency at The Sphere the following year).)
So yes, this depiction sums up my relationship with God. I don’t want to explain it all yet, there’s more than I want to explain in it. The real implication is the depth of field. It’s that my circumstantial depth of field observing this image is way higher than what it ought to be or what ought to be normal. So not only what’s depicted illustrates my relationship with God, as in sheer volume that’s deeply intimate and personal in detail that is a totality of the content, it’s the depth of scope that indicates I am being related to.
There are all sorts of circumstantial normal qualifiers. Anyone can look up name meanings with a push of a button. You don’t necessarily need floor to ceiling concordances and the like in your basement office any longer. The internet is a factor. Common Christian identity is the reigning factor, i.e., this individual took this one opportunity in his career to message his faith implicitly in a painting where it is the veiled subject, and had to have had the knowledge base of his faith to do so. Moreover he does so on the understanding he is inspired by God to do so. This is an amazing universal construct with tremendous universal potential, predicated on the principles of Grace, Salvation, Redemption, and Love. A Christian can observe this and value it on that level. It’s not the same valuation it has in my perception, where it applies with far more personal detail. Any creator in this context has no cognitive understanding that it might encounter me, only the Inspirer knows.
What you need to register is that this really is my existent relationship with God. It’s had this depth of field in a inspirational feedback loop with music since I was twenty one years old. It ebbs and flows but it has never actually left, even when it seemed it did. Even when it seemed there was no chance of it ever coming back, it did so.
Maybe if you see how this can occur with one incidental painting, you might begin to register the scope of what I’m about to begin showing you in a tremendous scope of popular music. It’s the same thing. By that I mean we’re negotiating the same realm of inspiration where the artistic creator (or as per the music, a whole realm and number of artistic creators) has or have no intention in their mind or any inkling or understanding of purpose in relation to me. But the level of detail appears too high for chance or coincidence and it appears Someone does have Intent where I am concerned, because as the beholder, I am intended to observe what I see here, and that’s only possible inside my perception. Only I can perceive I am the object of that Intention because the universal inspiration defines me as object in a manner only I can see. It knows my innermost thoughts, fears, dilemmas and the sum of this history from my inside out. What is It here to show me Now? Him appearing as Himself.
