We’ve been buzzing about doppelgangers here at the Grimoire lately. We thought we’d continue with a fun visual post. The idea is that by tracing visual and semantic correspondences between archtypes, memes and symbols as they play through the noosphere we gain some new insight into how the matrix is constructed. By understanding the architecture of the Matrix, we become empowered to take control over our personal and collective destinies.
The pictures and clips below represent only one small series of nodes in the ever changing fabric of the noosphere. You could follow each one of these images on an infinite fractal path through a sea of patterns until you get vertigo. We are trying to limit this search a little.
Enjoy.

The picture above is interesting in that Lindsey Lohan’s initials are LL. In this issue of New York Magazine she recreates Marilyn Monroe’s last photoshoot. LL comes right before MM in the alphabet. That’s a neat little coincidence. But then look in the lower right hand corner. A feature about Heath Ledger’s DOUBLE LIFE. That Heath Ledger was killed in a public sacrifice is pretty well understood these days. So to have him called out in doppelganger fashion on the same page as Lindsey Lohan’s nude Marylin Monroe makes this magazine a particularly important node in the matrix.
The date of this magazine is appx. one year ago.
Note the 9/9/9 on the barcode. It’s a quick flip of the magazine that turns a 999 into a 666. Finally, notice "The Technicolor Season". This is a synch with the Wizard of Oz which was the first film to juxtapose 3-strip technicolor and black and white. And as we all know, Wizard of Oz is a true Occult Gem.
Fascinating! Thanks for the kind words and the input. What’s even more incredible, is that in the podcast referred to in the blog post (which I recorded in the last few days of February) we talked about a certain insanity/surreal experience of visiting a store that sells only M&M merchandise and I also touched on the rapper Eminem’s promotion of violence. This is linked in the March Madness post – which as you point out is an MM in itself.
Really liking your site. Glad to be exploring this together. Keep in touch.

PS: Did you ever get the question I submitted on your symbols page? I was wondering what your take was on the severed hand symbol.
All the best,
Alan
Alan,
I’m sorry if I didn’t reply or answer your question.
The severed hand is a BIG symbol. It represents TRANSHUMANISM, or humans becoming more than humans though magick / cyber implants / genetic manipulation etc. It represents the other side of the SINGULARITY. That’s why the hand symbol comes back in time in the Terminator series. It is the piece of ‘other’ technology that brings humans past being human.
You find it in Terminator 2, Music Videos, Return of the Jedi, Evil Dead movies and more. Big in Terminator II, very symbolic in the last scenes of Return of the Jedi.
Going to watch the Time lecture you pointed out today. Thanks!
