The Butterfly Legend

“To you,” said Jesus to his elect disciples, “it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to them [the πολλοι] it is not given; therefore speak I to them in parables [or allegories]: because they seeing, see not, and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand.” [Matthew, courtesy of H.P. Blavatsky] What does this passage have to do with a movie review? Nothing and everything.

I had been looking forward to seeing I Am Legend, especially after noting the numerological significance of the 12/14/07 release date (i.e, “33,” discussed previously). Upon initial viewing, however, the analysis of this movie was going to be quite short, because while I observed a whole lot in the arena of the “the real sales pitch,” accompanied by a liberal sprinkling of “disinformation“, I found very little “actual dissemination of arcane knowledge.”

From the very beginning I got the impression we were going to receive a [un?] healthy doses of predictive and neuro-linguistic programming. The reappearing butterfly/monarch imagery is usually a pretty good indicator of heavy mind control. {*1} I could elaborate more on the topic, but Ben Fairhall has done an outstanding job, which I doubt I could improve on. [Unfortunately, from the time I viewed this film, until I re-viewed the film and completed this write-up, the article has gone "private." Let's hope it resurfaces at some point.]

The virus turning its victims into parasitic vampires, while symbolic, reminded me too much of 28 Days Later, which in every way imaginable, on the surface level (i.e. the plot), is a far superior film. We’re told the virus is a constantly mutating super-virus, which should indicate to an aware individual, that the virus was probably hatched out of someplace like Fort Dietrich, much like AIDS. {*2}

The president then issues an executive order to seal off New York City and blow all the bridges connecting it to the mainland. How bloody annoying! Is this conditioning the gullible public to accept executive orders are legitimate laws? Executive orders were never meant for anything other than deciding what china to use for the state dinners or who to invite to the White House Xmas party. Their use as directives or law is a flagrant violation of the constitution.

More ominous, from a synchromystic perspective, is whether the scene was symbolic of destroying the rainbow bridge (recommend link, will be referencing again later), thereby trapping our souls here on this plane of existence. The choice of the parallel bridges (the Manhattan and Brooklyn) synchs heavily with the Bifrost. The road to Valhalla is lost! {*3}

I also had a major problem with the movie promoting animal testing as somehow beneficial. Never has been. Never will be! All it does is perpetuate a cycle of waste and cruelty, dehumanizing each and everyone of us, because the practice condemns us all. To any reading this who condone the practice, yet vociferously complain about the “inhumane” conditions a lot of people in this world have to endure:

“What I think about vivisection is that if people admit that they have the right to take or endanger the life of living beings for the benefit of many, there will be no limit for their cruelty.” –Leo Tolstoy

So, Will Smith, the Scientologist, is working on a vaccine to cure the infection. A vaccine? “You idiot.” I wanna shout. Vaccines never stopped anything. As a matter of fact, vaccines have caused way more ills than they’ve cured. Oh wait, this falls under “superficial means to sell products.” Sorry, I forgot. They gotta sell vaccines for the vaccine manufacturers. Gotta pay for the special effects!

I will concede the film one noble plot point, cause it hints that the projected “cure” for Cancer may have actually ended up causing the entire problem. If you believe that cancer is caused by genetics and even for a second, blame your fore-fathers (who living naturally and free of vaccinations rarely if ever died of any form of cancer), then you’ve been the victim of a mild form of mind-control called media brainwashing.

I was about to give up on the film, but my attention perked back up again, when one of the few surviving members of human-kind “showed up.” A Brazilian woman. Well, how lucky is that? If one of the few surviving women left on this planet happened to be Brazilian … well then … there’s hope for us all. Slightly reinvigorated, my mind caught a few overt or cryptic items of note:

  • As he was filling up, the price of gas was $6.63 a gallon. Um, if that’s predictive programming, get ready for an expensive 2009.
  • The “ground zero” expression is mentioned twice, including at the end when he uses it as the justification for why he “can’t leave” Manhattan. [Man-Atom? Man-Aten?] This opens some interesting possibilities with the 911 Mega-Ritual and the Stargate, and also causes me to reflect on Ouroboros (Fight Club Revisited) and the Freedom Tower due to arise from Ground Zero in 2012.
  • Will Smith plays Bob and the Brazilian woman is named Anna. Both of these are palindromes. Perhaps another hint at “the Alpha and the Omega” and the Ouroboros serpent?
  • Anna saying she came from “Maryland” connects her to the Virgin Mary, Isis, Astarte lineage. Also, she said that she and her son were going to “Vermont” (the “free” state, i.e., “freedom”).
  • Anna’s son’s named Ethan, which means “strong, permanent, perennial, ever-flowing,” hence a synch with Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain (Ver-Mont in French) Boys, hence Osiris.
  • Will Smith quots Bob Marley saying “How Can I Light Up the Darkness?” while playing the Legend album. Interestingly enough, as the camera pans across the mantle prior to this keystone scene, the Kermit/Osiris frog is shown, followed by Van Gogh’s Starry Night (a reach, but possible link to Astarte).
  • The disease having a 90% kill rate sounds pretty much in line with the Elite’s depopulation agenda. With uncanny timing, Prince Philip, the same inbred moron who said he wants to reincarnate as a virus and kill us (humans) off, has fallen gravely ill.

The above items, in conjunction with some of the aforementioned elements, force me to ponder if the Butterfly, on a deeper level, implies a positive metamorphosis. [¿trance-formation?] Further, I wonder whether some things we conditionally label as “bad,” and prefer to avoid, may be painful, yet necessary steps we have to undergo nonetheless. My optimistic side considers that if the 911 Ritual opened the Stargate (his daughter and wife dying while in the helicopter could be a metaphor for transcendence), than the “ground zero” event may have been positive step towards the next stage of our evolution (no, not the shallow Darwinian view) … until I ask myself, “Then why would they destroy the Rainbow Bridge?”

The film was begging for a second screening, but that final sticking point, made the task seem abhorrent. This was not metamorphosis. This was mind control, and of the type used by our hidden masters to beat down humanity for aeons; keeping us ignorant, fearful and unable of realizing even a fraction of our true potential. I also have to consider that perhaps spending too much time looking at movies lately, may have led to myself being dumbed-down somewhat, and perhaps I had a hard time differentiating whether certain messages were intended for insiders or the masses. I chose another film that weekend, The Simpson Movie and surprisingly, found quite a bit of surface “truth” in it. That movie rather bluntly informs us:

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger will be our future President (¿2012?)
  • The President’s masters do not allow him to make any important decisions.
  • Mickey Mouse is the “symbol of an evil corporation.* [Yes, he is.]
  • The NSA is listening in on every insignificant detail of our lives, but have yet to learn anything even remotely connected to terrorist activity.

Perhaps, I was expecting much more from I Am Legend because of the synch with Independence Day (which also featured Will Smith). Under the guise of what I refer to as “the ritual act of revealing,” the latter movie spelled out, in very clear subconscious language, that on 09/11/01, New York and DC would be attacked. The closing of I Am Legend does throw out a possible synchromystic nugget:

In 2009, a virus came. On September 9, 2012 @ 8:49 PM he found a cure, @ 8:52 PM he gave his life.

I would seriously doubt that direct a message would be provided so overtly in a movie like this, despite the heavy-handed Christ/Conan metaphor. {*4} Breaking down the numbers numerologically, aside from the obvious, we also get an 11 and a 23 in there, but of more significance, we get two doses of Jesus’s “3″ days later, in the form of minutes and in years. [It then occurred to me that one "3" in the trinity was missing. Would it be the one we'd at to $6.63 to get 666? Aha, trifecta!] Perhaps, I myself was stuck on an inappropriate level of evaluation? The rabbit hole may go even deeper than I had fathomed…

The aforementioned scene with Smith quoting Bob Marley was the root of my dilemma. “How can I light up the darkness?” Notice the deliberate pause as he speaks these exact words. He’s not quoting. He is asking? He is asking the same question that Jesus answered for his followers at the beginning of this article. And, it is the same question we should be asking ourselves. “What can I do?” The answer to this ancient riddle is right under our nose, right in front of our very eyes. But we can not hear, and we cannot see.

We are the eye at the top of the pyramid. Rather than looking to others for blame or answers, we need to look within ourselves.

I was now ready for the answer, it synchronistically appeared. I found it/it found me. The answer lies in the alternate ending to the movie. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend doing so before proceeding further (fortunately, someone has posted a copy online for the time being). Once I saw this, my entire perception of the movie changed. Suddenly, the whole movie makes perfect sense (on the deeper levels).

Will Smith, in spite of his Christ identification (likely from indoctrination) resists the path of sacrifice, and acknowledges, he is not the Jesus in the Matthew / Blavatsky parable. His eyes are open. He puts down the gun, and opens the door to his bestial adversary. The ghoul/zombie shows he is not a raving head-smashing lunatic, but only wants his mate/lover which Will Smith, captured, imprisoned and subjected to clinical torture. The butterfly serves as a metaphor for transformation, and the glass separating the adversaries proves to be nothing more than a mirror.

“When we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?” –George Bernard Shaw

The ghouls/humans now go on their own path, and Will Smith takes Ethan and Anna away to Bethel (yes, Bethlehem), Vermont. And what is that they cross on their way out? A bridge? Weren’t all the bridges destroyed? So, the rainbow bridge has been restored. And how was that done? By looking within and finding our own humanity again, and realizing our own power to change our world; by stopping to look for adversaries to blame for our own ills.

Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection — the lovers, the dreamers, and me. –Kermit the Frog, aka Osiris

So, one question now remains. Why was this ending removed from the theatrical cut? The ending alone changes the entire continuity of the story. Was the chosen ending indicative of something more insidious at work? And, which hand was it (per Christopher Knowles, the “who” may not necessarily be as obvious as the director). That question, I will leave for others to riddle.

*1: I counted five (in order): the poster he drove by, his daughter making the shape with her hands. a live one in the corn field, his daughter repeating it before the helicopters came, the voice he hears at the end. I missed: the butterfly in the shattering glass, Anna’s tattoo, the tattoo on the patient/vamp on the table. [LB]

*2: The ghoulish/vampirish appearance of the victims, may or may not be planned association with the effects of the bioengineered AIDS virus. The aversion to SonShine that the Infected/Vampires have though, does raise an interesting sync with another solar movie (Sunshine) by Danny Boyle (28 Days), which I discussed in a prior blog. [LB]

*3: I had always had a fascination for Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge, that Norse (i.e., Gaelic) warriors had to cross to enter Valhalla. The Greek’s had Iris, the Goddess of Rainbow. This winged figure was the “messenger” the Gods used to communicate with humans, and interestingly enough, one of her duties was leading the souls of dead women to the Elysian Fields. She was born of a goddess and a Titan, hence was a half-human hybrid, which I believe comes from the Titan side, the one I feel mankind should have been rooting for in the war between the “Gods” and Titans. [LB]

*4: Yes, the similarities between Jesus and the warrior priest Conan are “legend,” but outside the scope of this article. However, while pondering the former idea, it occurred to me that the scene dwelling on the movie Shrek seemed rather innocuous and random at first, until you see Ethan/Osiris identifies with the Green Man (Shrek), while Will/Bob/Jesus identifies with the donkey.
