For the curious... It really is my MOM's birthday today.
(and Happy Birthday to Jake Kotze @ The Blob too!)
and since there's little point in messing with perfection, here's a couple of great reads on the subject of St. Patrick's Day from Chris Knowles @ the Secret Sun...
After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws' kingdom, whats an ogre to do? Well, if you're Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. Whats happened to this ogre's roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre," Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all he's done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.
Author's Note: Possibly one of the coolest Freestyle Motocross (FMX) pics ever snapped. (rider is doing a flip with the pyramids of Giza in the background). The wheel of the motocross bike forming the Eye on top of the Pyramid.
Being a motocross enthusiast myself, this one is particularly near and dear to my heart! (I'm too old at 36 to ride competitively but I still enjoy a good tear once in a while)
Red Bull gives you wings !
The winged Solar disk ~O~ of the SUN
(Compare the Solar Disk to the Red Bull logo and the bulls as wings with serpentine tails!)
On Friday April 10, 2009 (a festival known as Good Friday in the Christian world) the Red Bull X-Fighters performed amazing Freestyle Motocross (FMX) tricks in front of a crowd of about 10,000 in the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt with the pyramids in the background.
As part of the "Red Bull X-Fighters Exhibition Tour" the riders, Nick de Wit (RSA), Chris Birch (UK), Morgan Karlson (SWE) and Jimmy Verburgh (BEL) performed for the cheering crowd.
In keeping with my Rectified Egyptian Festival Calendar we note that Friday April 10, 2009 was the "Feast of Wasir" (WSR / Osiris).
This leads us once again to the Pyramid Texts and Utterance 580:
Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts from Raymond O. Faulkner
Utterance 580: 1543a. To say: Thou who hast smitten (my) father he who has killed (one) greater than he 1543b. thou hast smitten (my) father, thou hast killed one greater than thou. 1544a. Father Osiris N. I have smitten for thee him who smote thee as an ox 1544b. I have killed for thee him who killed thee as a wild-bull. 1544c. I have overpowered for thee him who overpowered thee as an ox 1544d. thou art upon his back as he who is upon the back of an ox. 1545a. He who stretched thee out as the stretched out ox he who slaughtered thee as the slaughtered ox 1545b. he who stunned thee as the stunned ox -- 1545c. I have cut off his head I have cut off his tail 1545d. I have cut off his two hands I have cut off his two feet. 1546a. His upper fore-legs including (lit. "being to") his lower forelegs belong t[o Atum], father of the gods 1546b. his two thighs belong to Shu and Tefnut 1546c. his two sides belong to Geb and Nut 1547a. his two shoulder blades belong to Isis and Nephthys 1547b. his two shoulders belong to Mḫnti-’irti and Hrti,-- 1547c. his spinal column belongs to Neit and Śerḳet his heart belongs to Sekhmet, the great 1548a. that which is in the back part of his body belongs to those four gods, the sons of Horus, his beloved, 1548b. Ḥȝpi, ’Imś.ti, Dwȝ-mw.t.f, Ḳbḥ-śn.w.f. 1549a. His head, his tail, his two hands, his two feet 1549b. belong to Anubis, who is upon his mountain to Osiris who is chief of his department (or, thigh-offering). 1549c. That which the gods leave belongs to the Souls of Nekhen and the Souls of Buto. 1550a. Eat, eat the red ox, for the voyage by sea, 1550b. which Horus did for his father, Osiris N.
1550a. Eat, eat the red ox
... Eat, eat the RED BULL ...
We've noted in our explorations before that the Egyptian god Mont was depicted with the head of a bull in similar fashion to the Min~o~Taur. (geMINi-TAURus)
Mont could also be interpreted as the warrior Horus (the two are often indistinguishable in the pictograms).
Very fitting to have the Red Bull X-Fighters Motocrossers at the Pyramids as a motocross bike is a powered Bi-Cycle afterall - Linked to the duality of GEMINI, the twins, of the Min~o~Taur. (April-May)
This year, 2009, is also the chinese year of the "EARTH OX"
Strange Eye Readers keeping up with the RED RIVER floods will also find this "Red Bull Sacrifice" at the Pyramids on the feast of Wasir/Osiris to be of interest.
This year the Christian Festival time known as LENT began with the sacrifice of the Taurus XL rocket and ends with the Red River Flood and the Red Bull X-fighters at the Pyramids in Egypt.
And a note for my fellow Winnipegger, Jake Kotze from The Blob: the rider in the photo at the top of this article appears to be Nick de Wit from the Republic of South Africa.
The Chi Rho is one of the earliest christograms used by Christians. It is formed by superimposing the first two letters in the Greek spelling of the word Christ ( Greek : "Χριστός" ), chi = ch and rho = r, in such a way to produce the monogram ☧. The Chi-Rho symbol was also used by pagan Greek scribes to mark, in the margin, a particularly valuable or relevant passage; the combined letters Chi and Rho standing for chrēston, meaning "good."[1]
Although not technically a cross, the Chi Rho invokes the crucifixion of Jesus as well as symbolizing his status as the Christ. There is early evidence of the Chi Rho symbol on Christian Rings of the third century (200's).
The Christian Feast of Good Friday is to mark the date of the Crucifixion of Jesus.
To top it all off, GIZA was known to the ancients as ROSTAU (Rose Tau / Rose Cross!) We could also note that in Christianity, Jesus (Yahoshua, or many other controversial spellings and names) was believed to have been crucified on the Cross and then Rose from the dead.
Those with the Egyptian Bug can find more interesting post and facts from the land of Khem on Chris Knowles' Solar Satellite blog. Check out his last 17 articles for related info.
Regular readers of Chris's Secret Sun blog and his extensive coverage of 3/17 will note that this past Easter Sunday, in the Chinese calendar was 17, 3, 4707! (4/12/2009 in the Gregorian calendar, 3/30/2009 in the Julian, start of Parmouti in the Rectified Egyptian). It was also 18 Nissan 5769 in the Hebrew and a Hebrew festival called "Passover"/"Pesach", to commemorate the Ten Plagues on Egypt (Khem).
The Hebrews were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord passed over these homes, hence the term "passover".
We could also note that the Motocrosser in the picture at the top is seen to "Pass Over" the Pyramids!
18 Nissan is historically known for:
The Day Pharaoh Becomes Aware of Escape (1313 BCE) Following the Jewish nation's grand exodus from Egypt (see Jewish history for the 15th of Nissan), Pharaoh, who only gave official permission for the Jews to to leave for three days, was informed by secret agents whom he sent together with the Jews that they had no intention of returning.
Pharaoh decided to mobilize his army and pursue the Jews, with the intention of bringing them back to Egypt. This led to the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea.
Fellow 'Peggers, the "GEM in EYE" Thompson Twins, Jim and Jake have both covered the Red C/Sea HERE and HERE
FYI: The Red River is expected to crest this week in southern Manitoba - an interesting parallel to the Biblical story of Exodus and the Red Sea, 21 Nissan.
The Passage of the Red Sea refers to the Biblical account of the passage of the Red Sea by Moses, leading the Hebrews (Israelites) on their journey out of Egypt and across the Red Sea as described in the Book of Exodus, chapters 13:17 to 15:21, in order to enter the Promised Land (Canaan)
What we should take notice of is that 2/22 is a day for "Eyes" and "assembling the eye(s)".
An enormous number of "eyes" will be "assembled" and watching the Oscars. Oscar, with a silent 'C', or sounding the "SUH" sound, is Osar / Ausar / Wasir / Wsr, the ancient Egyptian name for the god OSIRIS !
The 81st Academy Awards (A.'.A.'.) on 2/22/2009 starting at 5pm (17:00 hours/Horus!) in Los Angeles (los Angels - Angels - the WATCHERS and messengers of GOD!)
"We live in AMAZING times (author's note: "We certainly do!!"), When ANYTHING is possible, With all the world watching from country to country, coast to coast, in an event so big you can even see it from SPACE!"
Hugh (Hu) Michael Jackman also played another time travelling spaceman in the movie The Fountain Which also had the TREE (see below link) and Spanish "Columbian" scenes and theme of New World/Land Discovery!
From touregypt:
With each breath Hu expelled, creation took place. The first breath created the Soul of Osiris. His last creation was the Sun. So it is said that Hu is the Word of God, the first and the last breaths, Hu Hu.
Hu provided the soul to, and breathed life into, OSIRIS just as Hugh will provide the soul to, and breathe life into, the 81st OSCARS in his role as host and Master of Ceremonies!
In that role, HUgh will both OPEN the OSCARS (be first) and CLOSE the OSCARS (be last)
We can thank Mr. Laurence Mark, with his more than impressive resume, for choosing Hugh!
Happy (Hapy) Feet was released on November 17, 2006
'Happy Feet': After a failed singing lesson, Memphis (voiced by Hugh Jackman) pressures young Mumble (voiced by E.G. Daily to try harder, while Norma Jean (voiced by Nicole Kidman) watches with concern. (Warner Bros.)
Our Oscar MASTER of Ceremonies, Mr. Hugh Michael Jackman, also appeared in another Egyptian linked role, as the voice of the Penguin MEMPHIS in Happy Feet!
Penguin Suits is a slang for TUXEDOs, and as such, Freemasons are sometimes referred to as "Penguins".
Happy Feet - how appropriate that the name of an Egyptian deity HAPY should appear beside the word FEET. According to Wikipedia Hapy's name means "Running one" ! and One of course RUNS on their FEET!
Wikipedia also tells us: Happy Feet is an Australian-produced 2006 computer-animated comedy-drama musical film, directed and co-written by George Miller. It was produced at Sydney-based visual effects and animation studio Animal Logic for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures and was released in North America on November 17, 2006.
Mr. George Miller made fellow OZzie Mel Gibson famous in the post-apocalyptic movie MAD MAX!
You should also note that the first Knights Templar Grand Master shares the sound of his name with the first god that breathed life into Osiris!
We are going to further explore the Knights Templar connection more later in this article!
And now we turn our eyes on that ABC Promo Spot Video embedded above!
Empire State Bldg
The First scene opens with shot on the the Empire State Building The Empire State Building, after 9/11 became the tallest building in the New York city skyline. Building and towers have become the modern day equivalent of the ancient OBELISKs
Next the East Asian / East Indian man exits the Yellow cab and shields his "eyes" in a salute to the Oscar shadow cast down from some yet unseen object in the sky.
Then we have the PhiLIP coffee/cap drinker in Paris with the distinctive "eyes" looking up (Listen closely for the BELL at 0:07.) Philip IV was "Philip the Fair" (man is dressed in light (fair) colored jacket) Philip IV was also known as "Philippe le BEL" in France.
It can, like the Empire State Building be thought of as the modern equivalent of the Egyptian Obelisk - as a phallic symbol.
ROBSART, Saskatchewan, Canada
And now the ODD scene in the bunch...
The Grain elevator (and SILOs! also resonating "missile silos", The Shuttle Launch pad, and Obelisks!) in the semi-ghost town / hamlet of Robsart, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Robsart is a hamlet in Reno Rural Municipality No. 51, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Reno Municipality #51! linked to the mysterious Area 51 in Groom Dry Lake, Nevada - the capital of the state of Nevada is the city of RENO!!
Area 51 has been accused of being a secret U.S. base for "UFO" testing and alien contact.
Robsart, Saskatchewan, Canada is at the Junction of SK Highway #13 & #18 South of the Trans-Canada Highway (CDN Highway #1) via SK Highway #21
Keep the Saskatchewan Wheat POOL Elevator logo in mind! It is the word POOL appearing in the hexagon. If we take hexagon to be a ring of sorts with a POOL of water... We will understand more as we read further.
SK WHEAT POOL... Wheat grows in fields. Cape Canaveral, NASA's primary launch facility for the Space Shuttle, means "Field of REEDs"
There is a connection between Cape Canaveral and Egypt that goes beyond Cape Canaveral's translated "Spanish" name, which means "cape of reeds", corresponding, perhaps, to the Egyptian "field of reeds" or the afterlife).
The Constellation of ORION is thought to represent OSIRIS in Egyptian astrotheology / astronomy. When Mintaka is 33 degrees below the horizon at Cape Canaveral, Sirius is 33 degrees above the horizon in Giza, Egypt.
Wikipedia gives us an interesting fact: Robsart is known for a UFO sighting about 25 km from Robsart in 1929. The sighting was described as a huge ball of light that gave off fiery colors, and then landing lighting the countryside for about 30 minutes and then slowly disappearing into the night air.
A UFO sighting!
and 80 years ago too!
"One man has delivered magical moments for over 80 years, it's OSCAR!"
Atlantis is currently, as in right bloody now, in its Orbiter Processing Facility being prepared for launch on STS-125, the final shuttle mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope as early as May 12, 2009.
(see both my articles - Heaven's Junk is Falling (#1) (#2) for more on the Hubble Telescope)
And the light flash is not Los Angeles!
Note the West Cost of AFRICA to the right of the flash!
The flash they zoom in on is in the Atlantic Ocean!
Somwhere off the Coast of Africa (between Sierra Leone / Cote de Ivoire) and Brazil in South America! Note that Chris at Secret Sun pointed out CARNIVAL in Brazil The Flash and Zoom also sych to the STARGATE and Quantum Travel theme.
Some more Flashes and a vortex-like spin around Adam & Eve. Adam & Eve comes from their dress - they are both in evening wear. An Evening Gown & Tuxedo!
And we're at the OSCARS!
Or just about on the SET of the OSCARS! (SET pun intended)
Note the position of the word "THE" in the "O" of OSCARS - resonating the Stargate Chapa'ai / "EYE" theme again. The Azores = the Ausars = the Oscars, home of Osiris!
(Image Edit: Templar Cross overlaid on the statue for emphasis)
Let's take an in-depth look at the the show itself. Shall we. Let's grab hold with both hands and rip back the veil for just a moment to take peek at that man behind that curtain, as it were.
Keep in mind that what we are looking at are SYMBOLS. That means that a single image can convey several meanings at the same time.
I'll cover what I can for you but there will still be more to it.
If you notice more, or have a different viewpoint, leave a comment! There is no right and wrong answer when it comes to SYMBOL! "A picture IS worth a thousand words", as they say. But even words themselves can be Symbols.
The 81st Oscars opened on a HAPY note, with Mr. Happy Feet, HUgh JACKman giving us his very own song and dance about the Oscars.
Watch the opening act video! The content is important to my commentary!
Interesting stage design and set design for this years Oscars. We'll cover more of that later but for now just note the round 3-step raised platform.
Hugh points out: (0:45) Kate Winslet - nominated as "Hanna Schmitz" in the movie The READer
Drawing attention to the German origins of the Britsh Royal family. German-English... the House of WINdsor.
Her character name is special in several ways as well. HANNAH SCHMITZ
From the Hebrew name (Channah) which meant "favour" or "grace". Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament. As an English name, Hannah was not regularly used until after the Protestant Reformation. The Greek and Latin version Anna is used in the New Testament and was traditionally more widely used as a Christian name.
and Schmitz as SMITH, which is another slang name used for the Masons, the builders, the artificers.
And from the Channah, Canna, Cana, we can also interpret the english equivalent, branch/reed, Cain! Cain was the first SMITH !
Hannah Schmitz (of the READer) has both the favour and good graces of the Builders to tell us her character's story!
Dais (pronunciation) is any raised platform located either within or without a room or enclosure, often for dignified occupancy, as at the front of a lecture hall or sanctuary.
Historically, the dais was a part of the floor at the end of a medieval hall, raised a step above the rest of the room. On this the lord of the manor dined with his friends at the high table, apart from the retainers and servants. In medieval halls there was generally a deep recessed bay window at one or at each end of the dais, supposed to be for retirement or greater privacy than the open hall could afford.
(NOTE: try a google search for "Lord of Hosts" to get some more background)
He's our man-god host of the night, our temporary Pharaoh:
RAMesses II (also known as Ramesses The Great and alternatively transcribed as Ramses and Rameses; also known as Ozymandias in the Greek sources, from a transliteration into Greek of a part of Ramesses' throne name, User-maat-re Setep-en-re)
RAM-eses, RAM-EES-Ses as the Egyptians would pronounce, Our RAM-ISIS
Our dual-principled man-god. He's also resonating the tri-partate OSIRIS (Man-Actor-Host) He drives this home with the last line, "I'm the Slumdog-the wrestler-I'm Wolverine")
He represents the man beamed full of light, with the spirit, the Christening, The Shekhinah the IS IS Balanced in the Tree of Life (remember his movie "The Fountain" with the tree of life.) in Tiphareth between the two pillars (Oscar statues)
The Master of the Lodging of his Soul in a Tuxedo. Standing in the Point within the Circle (which we saw at 0:03) and the interconnected "Flower of Life", depicted on the Osireion in Egypt. (2:00) (2 be 1 ask 1)
He is the crowned Pharaoh, Man-King, the MLK (M(i)LK) with the Kundalini serpent. The One with the "3rd Eye" open. The little Pineal gland located between the twin halves of the brain!
Something tells me that HE did not stay up all night in his garage to put that number together!
Earth, Wind and Fire (singers of Boogie WONDERland used in HAPPY Feet (HAPY Feet!) with HUGH Jackman as Memphis) play for the Obamas at the White House on 2.22.2009.
& Stevie WONDER (blind keyboard maestro = EYEs that do not see) wins a Gershwin - Obamas to present on 2.25.2009.
The Knights Templar & the OSCAR Statue.
MUCH More on The Oscars of 2.22.2009 itself
Feels like there's some BIG "Revelation" is just waiting to happen...

Welcome to you new Strange Eye readers from around the globe who have made your way to this blog and are looking around going "what the heck is this stuff all about??"
In a sentence, Strange Eye is a Jungian Synchronicity and Semiotic Observance and Research blog.
But What does that Mean??
it means that at this Strange Eye blog, we consider even the smallest or singular events of daily life as connected to and expressions of the bigger picture of ALL existence. The articles build upon each other in progression, none truly stand alone here.
The Strange Eye motto would be - if ever there was such a motto - ALL for ONE and ALL IS ONE.
While reading "Strange Eye" you may come to see the repeated expression of the belief that WE are all intimately connected parts of the Whole of Existence... that WE are part of and ONE with the UNIVERSE - and not just in it!
Because of this, WE are all able to experience and observe the workings of the UNIVERSE through semiotics and Synchronicity - from the macrocosmic to the microscopic - and through the witnessing of these events and workings, come to better understand our own existence and the active parts we play in creating it.
So Welcome, explore the blog archives, read, comment, post your synchs... and may you recognize and feel the synchronicities and spirit floW... strong and clear - and may you truly experience, on a deeply personal level, the beauty of the design hidden behind the machinations of everyday life.

Notes:
"There are no jokes in synchromysticism, even when there are!" - Strange Eye (2009)
Penelope, the Queene, when she had view'd The strange eye-dazeling, admirable sight, Faine would have praisd the state and pulchritude, But she was stricken dumbe with wonder quite, Yet her sweet minde retain'd her thinking might ; Her rauisht minde in heaunly thoughts did dwel, But what she thought, no mortall tongue can tel.
