(00:00):
Today we begin our deep dive into Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.

(00:03):
We'll explore the hidden layers in the films first half from Jack Nicholson's haunting
presence to the Red Vogue Swagon Bug, Playgirl Magazine, and the portal symbolism of mirrors
will uncover ties to MK Ultra project monarch, illuminati bloodlines, and room 237's
link to Bluebeard and Incess. What Kubrick's really telling us about America, Dream Logic,

(00:23):
and Mind Control, this isn't just a horror film, this is a ritual, let's begin.
[Music]
Now if you don't know me, my name is Isaac Wysepp, not my real name, and I am your host of a
cult symbolism and pop culture, and this particular film analysis is years in the making,

(00:44):
years. This was actually the third book I wrote back in 2014, was Kubrick's Code analyzing
four of Kubrick's films, 2001 a space odyssey, The Shining, a clockwork orange, and Eyes Wide
Shut. I almost forgot the fourth one, the most important one, Eyes Wide Shut.
And The Shining is a film that somehow, over the years, I've never done a full film analysis,

(01:09):
so I'm more than excited to begin this journey with you, it's going to be a three-parter, okay?
Today we begin the deep dive with part one. We'll explore the cast members,
like Jack Nicholson, we'll do a little deeper dive in at Jack Nicholson. We'll talk about the movie
poster, we'll talk about the sort of making of the film type behind the scenes stuff for the first,

(01:30):
maybe half of this episode. Then in the second half of the episode, we're going to start getting into
the film. We're going to go through the first half of the film itself, and part two, which I'll drop
as the next episode, we're going to finish the second half of The Shining. Then in part three,
which is going to be super long, I'm going to break down what all of this means, what's the symbolism,

(01:55):
what are the messages, what's really happening with this film, and why is it so important, okay?
Part three is going to be the banger, all right? Part one and two, it's just going to be a great time.
So without further ado, let's get through it. Yeah, today, the symbolism that we're going to talk
about today a little bit, we're going to touch on, but again in part three, we're going to unpack it
a little more fully. Today's symbolism from the first half of the film, we'll talk about the red

(02:19):
Volkswagen Bug. We'll talk about David Lynch, Stephen King, Katar and the Rye America MK Ultra
Project Monarch, Portal Mirrors, Cannibalism, Play Go Magazine, Incest, Illuminati Bloodlines,
Calumette, a book called Cult in the O-Cult, which shows up in my six, seven part eyes wide
shut analysis I did not too long ago, Dream States Bluebeard in room 237. Now I'm going to preface all

(02:45):
three of these parts, all three of these episodes with explicit language warnings,
f-bombs and such. So if you're not into that, these three episodes, you're not going to want that, okay?
You can't play this in the minivan with the kids, it's going to be f-bombs unless you're a cool
parent like mine and you're like, okay, whatever. So here's choice, I'm giving you the morning right now,

(03:08):
also trigger warnings for we're going to talk about some sexual assault things, incest that sort
of thing. So if you're sensitive to that, I'm letting you know right now, all three parts are going
to kind of touch on the subjects. And I'm going to also be playing some clips from the film in fair
use of course. And if you're on the audio only feed, you may hear me stop talking for a minute while

(03:33):
the background clip finishes playing. And you'll just hear the audio from the clip. So you know,
I might sound a little weird, I don't know, whatever. The video version of the show is the best way
to do it. You go tier two on patreon or VIP section and you get the ad free video early access to work.
So if you want to support the show, you want the video version where you're going to see the clips,

(03:55):
you're going to see the images that I'm talking about because I put them on the screen. I painstakingly
edit these things. Boy, boy, oh boy is the video a lot of work. Anyway, if you want that, go tier two.
All right. Then finally, I wanted to dedicate the show to Shay. She's given me many pieces of
beautiful Kubrickian art over the years. And it's all on my beautiful wall of art behind me in the

(04:18):
studio here. So shout out to Shay. Now, as I always do with my film analysis, should you watch this movie
before we talk about it? Yeah, it's typically ranked as the best horror film of all time. And to be fair,
I mean, rightfully so I think, is it the scariest? Is it the glorious? Not particularly. Okay.

(04:42):
Is it the most engaging into the subconscious mind in one of the most unsettling films ever?
Absolutely. High rewatch value. Great movie. Is it my favorite horror movie? I don't know.
I'd have to sit down and really think about that. I got a lot of favorite horror movies.
And it depends on what you're looking for, right? If you're looking for a scare, you're looking for some

(05:03):
gore. Maybe this isn't the one for you. What's it about? It's about two and a half hours.
It's about two and a half hours, honestly, though, which is typically,
you know, I hate anything more than 90 minutes, but if it's a Kubrick movie for some reason,
it gets a pass with me, you know, that's why I've got Kubrick shining tattoos and crab all over my

(05:27):
arm. I absolutely love Kubrick and Twin Peaks. They both sort of have that psychological element to them.
Now, the movie is of course based on the 1977 novel by Stephen King.
And within a few years of that novel's release is when this movie came out in 1980.
Stephen King goaded as well. I grew up reading Stephen King books. He's the best. I don't read a lot of

(05:53):
fiction books, but Stephen King I can read the fiction when it's Stephen King. Now let's talk about the cast.
Jack Nicholson plays the main, well, I guess the main character is Jack Torrance, right? The dad.
And goaded goaded actor, easy writer, China Town with his BFF Roman Polanski directing. We're going to

(06:17):
come back to that. A few good men with my BFF Tommy Slommy, second greatest actor of all time.
Batman, the original 89 Batman, the good one with Michael Keaton. He played the Joker,
which ties him into a whole lineage of bad mojo, right? You tie into that Joker archetype from the

(06:37):
tarot card. Bad deal. He was also in the departed. Now, fun facts about Jack Nicholson. I was looking
into his Wikipedia. Apparently he doesn't even know who his father is. I didn't know this.
Says that he, his mother married an Italian American showman named Donald Farsillo in 1936

(06:58):
before realizing that he was already married. People were wild back in the day, weren't they?
Bographer Patrick McGee. Oh boy, McGilligan, McGilligan, stated in his book, Jack's Life, that
Latin being born Eddie King, Juned Manager, may have been Nicholson's biological father, rather than

(07:21):
Farsillo. Other sources suggest Jun Nicholson was unsure of the father's identity. As Jun was only
17 and unmarried, her parents agreed to raise Nicholson as their own child without revealing his true
parentage with Jun acting as his sister. Yeah. In 1974, Time Magazine researchers learned and

(07:44):
informed Nicholson that his sister, Jun, was actually his mother. And his other sister, Lorraine,
was really his aunt. By this time, both his mother and grandmother had died in 1963 and 1970,
respectively. On finding out, Nicholson said it was, quote, "it pretty dramatic event,
but it wasn't what I'd call traumatizing. I was pretty well psychologically formed."

(08:08):
Can you imagine that? You're, that's crazy. You growl, thinking this woman, your sister, that's your mom,
insane. He was in the California International Guard for five years. He does the film Easy Rider,
that's kind of his breakout role. That's what got Kubrick's attention. He actually wanted

(08:32):
Jack Nelson to play the role of Napoleon and film that in the history of Kubrick is the stuff of
legends. He was going to make this Napoleon movie never came to be. In William Snyder,
aka Rekluse, he has a book called The Minotaur. He details how connected Kubrick actually was with

(08:52):
Jack Nicholson. He had Nicholson checking in on his own daughter Vivian Kubrick when she moved to LA,
because you know, Kubrick's story, he moved to England and never came back to America.
And Jack had stayed in touch with Kubrick throughout his entire life. He even attended Kubrick's
funeral. And there's a strange web connected in the the book by Rekluse. That goes back to Vincent

(09:21):
Bugliosi who convinced Paul Perviler of or convicted Paul Perviler of a murder. And this guy was
actually Kubrick's first cousin, Paul Perviler who wasn't the murderer apparently. And from here,
you get into from Bugliosi, you get into Charles Manson and you get into Roman Polanski. Of course,

(09:48):
you probably know the story of all that. Thus Jack Nicholson and even Kubrick were alleged to possibly
have these sex tapes like Roman Polanski was alleged to have. I know if you're not familiar with that
whole backstory, you're probably like, what the hell are you talking about? Well, it's a long story,

(10:11):
but that's the claim is that Polanski and Sharon Tate would have these sort of Hollywood orgies and
even that the Manson family was there selling drugs and crazy stuff. And then Tom O'Neil's chaos book
basically confirmed those sex tapes. Well, I don't know if confirmed. I haven't read I read it
years and years ago when it came out. I remember reading something about the sex tapes having more

(10:32):
plausibility than not. So Jack Nicholson was buddies with Roman Polanski, the director. I remember
and remember his wife Sharon Tate murdered by the Manson family. And three years after filming
Chinatown, which starred Jack Nicholson, Planski was actually arrested at Jack Nicholson's home

(10:55):
for sexually assaulting a 13 year old girl. Jack Nicholson was out of town to be fair.
So there's this whole thing about Roman Polanski, right? And Roman Polanski, of course, filmed
Rosemary's baby, his wife Sharon Tate murdered by the Manson family. He evaded, captured and

(11:17):
moved overseas. He filmed the ninth gate with Johnny Depp of very occulted movie, Nostek movie.
Yeah, there's a lot there.
Now for the role in the shining, Jack Nicholson drew upon his own experiences as a writer. And he
actually was sleeping very short hours to help remain in a state of agitation for the shoot.

(11:42):
And his co-star Shelley DuVal recalled that she and Nicholson spent many hours discussing their
character with Nicholson maintaining that his character needed to be cold to her right from the
start, which is not how the book is. The book, Jack Torrance, is a very loving husband and father.
He's a very good dude, right? He just has these struggles. Whereas the movie, the shining,

(12:05):
Jack Nicholson's just like the psychopath right off the bat.
Now, Jack Nicholson's love life is pretty insane. Six kids, the five women.
He was married once to a woman named Sandra Knight in the 1960s. He also dated Michelle Phillips,
who was previously married to Dennis Hopper, who was besties with Jack Nicholson because they were an

(12:30):
easy writer together. Dennis Hopper, of course, in a culted type films. He was in Curtis Herrington's
Night Tide, which has Horde Babelon type stuff going on in it. He was in Blue Velvet by Lynch and so on.
He was affiliated with Kenneth Anger for a period of time, I believe.

(12:50):
So Michelle Phillips, she's famous for she was in the Mamas and the Papa. She was married to
Papa John Phillips and John Phillips's daughter to a previous marriage named Mackenzie Phillips,
alleged that her father incestually abused her for years and forced her to take drugs and that she

(13:17):
had actually got impregnated by him and Michelle denied that. She's like, there's no way he could
have done that. Mackenzie apparently had some drug addictions. Who knows what's the truth there,
right? But Michelle and Papa John had a child on their own named China Phillips, who was one of the
singers in the band Wilson Phillips. Lots of weird six degrees of separation here. Jack Nicholson

(13:43):
dated Angelica Houston. She was actually the one that called the cops on Polanski because he was in
the hot tub with this 13 year old girl and whatever. Ironically Angelica was 17 when she started dating a
photographer named Bob Richardson who was 41 at the time. Also Bob Richardson, his son is

(14:11):
Harry Richardson, a photographer notoriously accused of sexual misconduct for a very long time.
He got involved in the Me Too stuff and hasn't I apparently been working since. Angelica
dated Terry's father Bob for a month before she met Jack Nicholson. So she was 17 when she hooked

(14:34):
up with Jack Nicholson who was 36. Crazy stuff. Jack dated Bond girl Jill St. John then he dated a
model when he haulman with which he had a daughter named Honey in 1982 in 1999. It was brought to
like the honey's real father was actually Lou Adler who was the manager of the Mamas and the Papas.

(15:02):
And he was also one of Jack's close friends. He also had a child with Britt Ecklin who was the the
blonde woman in Wickerman. Who also I've tattooed on me by the way. He also dated Lariflin Boyle in the
late 90s early 2000s. Of course she is Donna from Twin Peaks the much beloved Twin Peaks which is

(15:28):
interesting because he was in a few good men with Tommy Salami as well as James Hurley. So James Hurley
was dating Lariflin Boyle on the show Twin Peaks right James and Donna were dating as part of the
storyline. He also dated Jack Nicholson also dated Kate Moss also friends with Hunter S Thompson

(15:52):
attended Hunter S Thompson's funeral as well along with Johnny Depp John Kusak and Sean Penn.
And this was the funeral where they blasted Hunter's Thompson's ashes from a cannon on his
location called the owl farm which ties us into Manurva and the goddess of wisdom.

(16:14):
Also ties into the Illuminati Bohemian Grove it also ties us into
Hunter S Thompson who wrote about a dream of chrome. I mean we could do an entire show about Jack
Nicholson. I'm guessing based on all these close affiliations to a lot of major themes in the
history of conspiracy and esoteric. The next main character Danny Lloyd he's the young boy in

(16:41):
the shining. He plays Danny Tarns Jack Tarns' son. When they filmed this movie he was only
six years old which is crazy because it's so horrific but they told him that he was filming a drama
movie. He didn't even know he was filming a horror movie. He actually retired from acting
immediately after this film in 1982. He was actually in another a TV film called Will G Gordon

(17:08):
Libby but he basically retired from acting. Why not sure he had a cameo in Dr. Sleep which is so
so Stephen King wrote the shining in 1977 then I don't know what was it 20 30 years later he writes
Dr. Sleep which is the sequel follow up to the shining where Danny Tarns is an adult

(17:32):
and then they made a movie about it. Well the kid who played Danny Tarns in the shining was also
had a cameo in Dr. Sleep. He was a person watching a baseball game so whatever right
but he lives a very personal life apparently doesn't even talk about his life or the shining or
nothing. No no comic con signings nothing. What happened on that set? Maybe nothing maybe nothing.

(18:01):
Also notice the play on names here. Coobert casts Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance. He casts Danny Lloyd
as Danny Tarns and later there's a bartender named Lloyd which is the actor for Danny Tarns'
last name Danny Lloyd and it's very reminiscent of the strange connections to be found in David

(18:25):
Lynch's Twin Peaks with Bob and Bobby Mike and Mike and both stories have this weird dream like
effect that becomes a nightmare and there's also the name game with Jack Torrance. In the book he goes
by John Torrance but back in old timey days they used to call John's Jack so like you know John

(18:49):
F. Kennedy John Parsons they would be called Jack. Don't ask me. That was before my time.
And now everyone else I'm gonna talk about from the cast on this list is dead sadly tragically all dead
Shelley DeVal played Wendy Tarns she just died July 11th 2024 rest of peace the year ago

(19:10):
and boy did she have a great 1980 she was in the shining and Bobby she played olive oil. Love that
movie as a kid. Kubrick apparently on the set was kind of mean to Wendy or to Shelley DeVal I should
say because that was the reaction he wanted her to have for the film. She claimed though that Kubrick

(19:33):
was very nice to her but everyone else says otherwise so who knows. On today.com there's a discussion
about this it says the movie shoot took a whopping 56 weeks with DuVal and Nicholson putting in up to
16 hours six days a week. Kubrick who died in 1999 famously demanded his actors' reshoot scenes over
and over even earning a mention in the Guinness book of world records for the most retakes for one

(19:58):
scene with dialogue for one shining scene featuring Scam and Crothers and child actor Danny Lloyd that
was shot 148 times. I'm gonna play that scene for you later. Kubrick doesn't print anything until at
least the 35th take DuVal recalled to the Hollywood Reporter 35 takes running and crying and carrying

(20:23):
a little boy it gets hard and full performance from the first rehearsal that's difficult. One of the
movie's most famous scenes features Jack stalking a sobbing Wendy up a staircase as she clutches
a baseball bat to protect herself from her suddenly deranged husband. Kubrick made DuVal
Nicholson shoot the scene 127 times. Oh Kubrick's insane and I'm gonna play that scene for you too.

(20:50):
Because that's peak Jack Nicholson and there's an urban legend that Tommy Salami holds a record for
the retakes with the film eyes wide shut but that's not true. Kubrick had Tom Cruise walk through a
doorway 95 times which is less retakes than the shining. So he'd let him off easy.

(21:10):
That's why it's shut record that they have is for the longest continuous film shoot at 400 days
and he would do these retakes to exhaust the actors to get a more raw performance build natural
tension and so on. Scatman Crothers plays Dick Halloran. Fun fact he was the voice of Jazz

(21:34):
on the 80s transformer cartoon show. He got his name Scatman because he was a musician.
Barry Nelson plays Stuart Alman. He was actually the first James Bond. I also have that tattoo
to me on my arm. 007. Wait where is it on my left arm? 007 which ties us into the world of John D.
Right the first occultist secret service agent. But there's a TV show called Christina Royale

(22:00):
before the films became a thing and Stuart Alman was James Bond. Fun fact we could be
he says Bond wasn't even a popular story in America until JFK listed the book from Russia with love as
one of his top 10 favorites. Strangely enough as we're going to find out Barry Nelson who plays
Stuart Alman looks very similar to JFK in the shining. Also you can add him into that growing

(22:25):
conspiracy about 1982 film Pultergeist because his last role in a film was as an uncredited role
as an actor on television. Of course he would go on to keep working on TV but his last film role was
on the Pultergeist movie and he didn't die until 2007 so I mean that's how crazy you want to get but

(22:49):
Pultergeist was technically his last film that he did before he died. So add that into the mix
of other Pultergeist curses. Philip Stone plays Delbert Grady. He was actually in a clockwork
orange as Alex's dad. He was also in Barry Lyndon. Haven't seen that yet. A tried. It's so boring.
I'm going to watch Barry Lyndon someday and he was in Indiana Jones Temple of Doom.

(23:15):
Tony Burton plays Larry Durkin a very minor role but he was a guy named Duke in the Rocky movies
and he was only supposed to be on the set for a week for the shining but apparently he was
really good at chess and he beat Kubrick and they would play for weeks. So they kept him around just

(23:36):
to play chess with Kubrick. Barry Denon plays Bill Watson. That Stuart Almonds helper. He's in the
movie for like two seconds. You blink and you miss him. But this guy was alleged and he played Pontius
Pilot in Jesus Christ superstar. He was in the Batman 60 show. Also love that. He was in the
Tales from the Dark Side Show. Loved that. Growing up. He's in trading places. He was in Superman 3. The

(23:58):
one Richard Pryor Titanic and the sequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show Shock Treatment. If you
haven't seen that I did a full film analysis of it. It's actually much more seeped in a cult
esoteric ideas from what I remember. Did that several years ago. In fact I had a listener who
loved it so much and he gave us a rendition of a song that we put on the episode. So if you're

(24:26):
a Rocky Horror nerd like me and you and you and you uh and Shock Treatment was pretty good. At the
first glance it's you're disgusted. At first you're like what is this trash when you're used to
Rocky Horror but if you honestly sit back and be open minded about it you're like this is actually
pretty good. And then last but definitely not least director Stanley Kubrick. The legend.

(24:51):
Behind the shining 2001 Space Odyssey. Eyes wide shut. Clockwork Orange. Full Metal Jack.
A Doctor Strange Love. And of course directed the fake moon landing footage as we'll discuss.
Now Kubrick is such a legend. You have to understand he's got of he didn't do that many films

(25:12):
but the ones he did rank so high like the shining ranks as one of the best horror movies of all time
like the best by most sort of stand most countdowns. And 2001 Space Odyssey is ranked as the best
science fiction movie of all time. Sometimes the best movie of all time. That's impressive. It's not

(25:34):
like he's a one genre dude like this guy was a genius for sure. But he is very similar to David Lynch
in that he is a way of connecting to the subconscious and using symbolism and all that. In fact they admire
each other's works. He screened David Lynch's eraser head for the cast of the shining. To show them

(25:55):
the atmosphere he wanted to create for the shining. Which if you've ever seen a racer head it's
pretty weird. And we're going to talk about it later there's a scene that's reminiscent of like
the room 237 that whole vibe is from a racer head. And Kubrick a very enigmatic figure. A gifted

(26:16):
photographer moved on to film. Considered a genius. He was very into surrealism.
Had many high profile connections to various worlds of entertainment and politics. Possibly
intelligence agencies. He left America in 1961 to move to England where he stayed the rest of
his life. Never came back to America and he loved New York City. So it's something happened there.

(26:43):
He in fact, for eyes wide shut. It's supposed to be felt it's supposed to take place in New York City.
So he recreated the streets of the hometown from, you know, to the specifics where they would measure
the newspaper stands. And there's lots of conspiracy theories about Kubrick. I mean tons, right.
Some say he's a bad dude. Some say he's a good guy. Trying to expose these satanicky leaps and these

(27:09):
petals. Some people say no, he was running in those circles with these petals. We'll come back to all
of that. All right. Then we got the movie poster because looking at a movie poster is actually
quite important. It's the basically the cover of the book. It's a way of distilling an entire film

(27:29):
into one image, right? One shot. It's one massive symbol that tells the whole story. So we've got to
look at the movie poster. And this movie poster is bizarre. It's yellow. It's got the, the tea for the
shining has this sort of face in it, but it's not really a face. It doesn't, there's no one from the

(27:50):
movie really on this poster. It's a big mystery. It's like, what the heck is it? What are we looking at?
Right? Some people think that what you're looking at is not a face, but the dials of the elevator
where the blood spills out. It was designed by a guy named Saul Bass and he did a lot of movie posters.

(28:11):
Sometimes with his wife Elaine Bass. They did posters for Hitchcock's Psycho, Vertigo, Goodfellas,
Cape Fear, Casino. And Saul was a master of corporate logos, which makes me think that Kubrick selected
him for his knowledge of speaking to the subconscious because he did corporate logos for AT&T Warner Brothers,

(28:33):
Continental, United, Hannah Barbarra, Quaker Oats, and a lot more. And the point is that the poster
is showing us that this film has surreal elements that are supposed to speak to the subconscious. That's
why it's such a creepy film. Now, before we start the film, quick word about my analysis. Kubrick

(28:57):
paid obsessive attention and detail to his film and his edits and his shots. That's why there's
this whole field of conspiracy devoted to the guy. Some people call it crypto-cubrology.
Now, it's kind of like Lynch, right? They'll say a film is Lynchian or Kubrickian. So there's the whole

(29:21):
sort of vibe that these guys have. And lots of folks have been talking about Kubrick and the shining
before me, right? But even more people came after me. So at this point, it's difficult for me to pay
homage to the correct person because now like everyone's a conspiracy theorist, right? And there's

(29:42):
many other sources you could dig into for this kind of stuff. Back when I wrote Kubrick's code,
there wasn't a ton of stuff out there. I was intrigued by the ideas of Kubrick and
conspiracies through Jay Widener and his Kubrick's Odyssey series, which is one of the major

(30:02):
influences of why wrote Kubrick's code. Now, unbeknownst to me while I was writing Kubrick's code,
a documentary by Rodney Asher called Room 237 comes out discussing various ideas of conspiracies behind
the shining and they interview Jay Widener. Thank goodness, right?
Major update folks. I've had to move my online star from Gumroad to my own website.

(30:29):
So now you can find all of my author sign books, Super Soft Shirts and a brand new health
gift. My own branded mushroom infused coffee called Mushroom and I need water coffee all at
a cult symbolism.com. I've written nine books so far working on a couple more right now. And you can
pick them up, sign from my shaky callous laden crossfit hands and ship to your door. There's also a
couple of bundle deals you can take advantage of like my oops all the books bundle. And of course,

(30:54):
I've got the Super Soft podcast logo shirts that say these nerds are going to kill us on the back.
Never been more appropriate than in our modern times. You'll have people stop to tell you they agree
with you and that you're super cool for listening to a cult symbolism and pop culture. Finally,
I've got this new product. I worked with my coffee plug from San Diego, Jordan to give my
lessons the best mushroom infused coffee on the planet called the mushroom and now he watch her coffee.

(31:18):
It's a whole bean coffee with flavor notes of candied orange sugar and plum but more importantly,
it's infused with 6,000 milligrams of mushroom extract, Rayshe, Chaga, Messima, Lion's main
Territid al Chitaki blaze, the Garagon and Oyster is one of the healthiest mushroom blends and
it becomes by available when you infuse it into the coffee. I read this whole book on medicinal
mushrooms by Christopher Hobbs. He goes through the countless studies that prove the effectiveness of

(31:41):
supplementing a healthy lifestyle with mushrooms for physical, mental, superiority. It's like you're
plugged into an electrical socket and it tastes so good. You won't believe that there's mushrooms in
there because I've tried several mushroom coffees and it never to get more mushroom supplementation
into my life and they're terrible but not mushroom and naughty watcher coffee. Super smooth. Finally,
if you're on Patreon or VIP section, I had to update your 10% off discount code. So check out the

Hey guys, as a pissed you off to watch crypto's fly up in price for over a decade and you've still
done nothing about it. It makes sense. Crypto is complicated and it's really boring. Where here's
the good news. You don't need to know a thing about crypto to make the money that so many people have.

(33:08):

into each one? It went on to be worth over 123,000 dollars of the 26th cryptos. His top pick of the
year. The one that he singled out called Phantom went up 692 times from what he said. That one

(33:52):

me tell you 2024 so far has been real good in the crypto market and yes you've missed out on big coin
but there's over 2 million other cryptos. Do you really think you've missed out on all of them?

(34:40):
Guys don't waste any more time go to the site and read it once again copymycrypto.com/isic2a's
so ISAC and you get in for a buck. It's ended money worries for so many it may just do the same
for you link in the show notes as always. But there's a lot of there's a lot of books and theorists out

(35:04):
there. I just listened to a guy named I think his name is Alex Fulton on higher side chats. He kind of
gets into the numerology of it which isn't necessarily my bag but it was an interesting interview
or close with Snyder wrote a book called The Minitar I've got it over here I read it for this analysis.
I also watched Room 237 again and then I looked through my own book Coober's Code from 2014

(35:32):
which by the way quick plug if you want to get a PDF copy and ebook of Coober's Code where I walk you
through the symbolism of 2001 Space Odyssey the shining clockwork orange eyes wide shut it's a very
beginner's level book because I've learned so much since then but you can get it for free along with
my most popular book The Dark Path where I break down the entire global agenda about how it all fits

(35:54):
into entertainment by signing up for patreon patreon.com/loonunewatcher just sign up five bucks you get in
boom free books bam or you can get them on Amazon or audible I narrated them
so there you go quick plug now I publish Coober's Code in 2014 and my memory from what I recall is
that I there were several so I try to give as much credit and homage to people that I could at the time

(36:18):
but there's some things that I believe I get credit for you know I know that's very ego centered
but sometimes I see stuff in a bugs me like there was this video on youtube with millions of views
and the person talked about how jack niggerson standing like the baffa met go with the bobs

(36:39):
I like hey man I wrote about that in 2014 like now it could be that they just figured this stuff out on
their own too like right but some of this stuff is like it it's my pride and joy a little bit you know
like the twin pillars at the beginning of eyes wide shut I I had the come up with that and I
I've seen that in some other people stuff without naming names I've seen people talk about these things

(37:05):
and I'm like boy that's interesting and then ending of eyes wide shut with Helena getting taken away
by the pedophilia elites I came up with that too everyone's talking about that now I say that because
I try to pay homage to theorists like jay whyner performing who who have talked a lot about the stuff
but anyway so and also one last thing before we get into the movie the movie part one

(37:34):
is I would recommend the video version of this episode if you have the if you're on the patreon or
VIP section at tier two you'll you'll get access to that discussing a lot of images playing a lot of
clips now free feed losers you're gonna get a video version but you're gonna get it late usually a

(37:58):
symbolism and my Spotify okay so if you want to wait like a free feed loser you can watch the video late
but you're gonna get all the ads and I'm gonna be trying to sell you stuff oh you don't want to do that
just sign up okay now let's get to the movie plots wellers coming let's go I'm about to walk you

(38:19):
through the film I'm gonna break down symbolism conspiracy theories all that stuff I'm gonna discuss
some of the things about the book that you see in the movie and you don't see behind the scenes it's
gonna be a great time I'm excited let's get into it starts out the classic scene a beautiful
beautiful filming of the yellow Volkswagen bug that's Jack Nicholson Jack Torrance is driving this

(38:45):
Volkswagen bug towards the overlook where all this stuff happens at this haunted hotel he's driving
up the winding mountain road of Colorado the credits are rolling you get the weird ethereal music
creepy sounds you're like what is this and right out the bat shots fired at Stephen King the
Volkswagen is supposed to be red because in the book it's red but it's yellow covert made it yellow

(39:07):
and we discussed the symbolism of red in my three part James Shelby Downer to King Kill 33 deep dive
just a couple weeks ago because red is symbolic of blood the final phase of alchemy the rubato the red
king as seen in Twin Peaks the red room and it's the symbol of soul regeneration or rebuilding the

(39:33):
temple of Solomon which I think would have been a much cooler thing to leave into the story why did
Kubrick take that out strange especially given his knowledge of symbolism and speaking to the
subconscious you would think the the the bug would be red just like in the book it's possible that one
of the reasons why it's because he was beefing with Stephen King as we'll talk about later on in the

(39:56):
film another idea is that maybe Kubrick was using the alchemical symbolism of yellow right because
the idea of alchemy is to turn the light into gold which gold symbolized by yellow or the sun the
solar mysteries so pick your favorite theory there I guess and also interesting Volkswagen would

(40:20):
be used it's the people's carb Nazi Germany because there's a whole angle of Nazis that we'll get into
so we finally see the overload hotel and the film was actually shot at the timber line lodge
in Oregon the exterior shots but Stephen King wrote the book inspired by the Stanley hotel
in Colorado right which later on you know Stephen King would they would do a TV made for TV series

(40:46):
of the shining that sucks where they actually did it at Stanley hotel the problem was since Kubrick
decided he would never come back to America they built an interior set in Britain which was the
same set found for the readers of lost Ark which started Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones

(41:07):
ironically eyes wide shuts dr bill harford played by Tommy Cruz was named after Harrison Ford
hard Ford Harrison Ford and George Lucas was actually filming the Empire Strikes Back at the
same time at the same studio it's called L Street Studios so they had to actually share the studio
space and there was an accident on Kubrick set and some of his area got destroyed by fire so George

(41:34):
Lucas had to give us some of his space to Stanley Kubrick and that was also a similar idea as to
what happened with the beach boys they had an album I think it was called fire and they were doing
a lot of weird rich crafty things and it caught on fire the studio caught on fire now fun fact David

(41:55):
Lynch was offered to direct return of the Jedi because George Lucas was also so impressed by a
racer head but David Lynch was like no get out of here nerd because he didn't like science fiction
which is strange because then he would film dune which is very science fiction
and Kubrick lived in L Street where the studios were from 1965 now before

(42:22):
King wrote the shining he was inspired to write it because he stayed at the Stanley hotel
and the night he stayed there was on October 30th right which is the night of the night before
sowing which is a sort of ritual blood sacrifice night the veils very thin as they say on Halloween
and he was actually there for their closing night and the place was basically empty besides

(42:48):
Stephen King and his wife and it was real creepy and he had this nightmare about his son being chased
through the halls with a fire hose which is part of the book it's not in the film so when he wrote
the shining it was called the overlook but it was based on the Stanley the film was filmed at
Timberland Lodge exterior shots at Timberland Lodge in Oregon it gets confusing

(43:09):
but Stephen King hated Stanley Kubrick shining so much that he'd get a tv series and they actually
filmed it at the Stanley all right back to the movie starts out the interview and Jack walks through
the overlook he's going to meet Stuart Almond the general manager of the hotel now if you watch

(43:32):
when he goes into Almond's office look at the location of the office equipment you'll see a paper
what do you call it a paper shelf placed at the exact location of Stuart's weener j wider found that out
because there's sexual angles to all of this which is also in the book there's a lot of sexuality in the

(43:53):
book too during this interview we find out that Jack lives three and a half hours from the overlook
in Boulder Colorado and the overlook is actually 40 miles from a fictional town called the sidewinder
in the book because in the book they go into the town before the storm set but if we're in

(44:14):
Colorado we're talking about Denver right near Denver alumni confirmed you got the Denver International
Airport with BluSaffer and the Freemasons and all that conspiracy about aliens you've also got
Cheyenne Mound which is deep underground military base and yeah Denver's supposedly on the map for

(44:35):
occult activity now during the interview we also we flashbacked Jack's apartment in Boulder
later on you hear him talk about how he's got to go back to Boulder but his wife is back at the
apartment in Boulder with Wendy with their son Danny and they're having breakfast and cigarettes
as one does in the 70s and she's casually reading a book called Catcher in the Rye my goodness

(45:01):
massive rabbit hole here and I did a two-part series on it I'm gonna put a link in the show notes
but the catcher in the rye it ties into a lot of mk ultra type stuff and
in cells and crazy stuff in fact I interviewed I interviewed the great J. Widener

(45:24):
and Ryder Lee because they filmed Kubrick's Odyssey 3 after many years of waiting and it was
focused in on this aspect of the shining with catcher in the rye so I would refer you to listen to
my interview with them and then go check out Kubrick's Odyssey 3 and you can you know knock yourself out

(45:44):
but there's a lot of connections to mk ultra which we're gonna talk about a lot more in this film
you'll notice in their apartment that there's tons of books stacked up just absolutely everywhere
and it could be that because Jack Torrents is a writer I guess right
also notice the red-white and blue motif Wendy and Danny's clothes almost entirely throughout the

(46:09):
entire movie are always red-white and blue you also introduce to Danny's invisible friend named Tony
isn't that interesting he's got an alter he's got a dissociative identity disorder or an invisible friend
he's a child after all so let me go back to the interview right and in Stuart almonds off
that you're gonna notice there's a lot more america stuff you got eagles and flags all over the place

(46:34):
Stuart almond again looking like JFK Jay-Winer came up with that also wearing red-white blue
and Jay-Winer suggested maybe all this American iconography and colors is to point in the direction
of a fake moon landing right because that's Jay-Winer's claim to fame is the fake moon landing

(46:57):
conspiracy about the shining which is fascinating we're gonna talk about it later
in the book version there's no discussion about this stuff at all right
kubernetes puts this puts this in the movie in the story in fact in the book there's a major beef
between Stuart almond and jack taunts jack absolutely hate Stuart almond

(47:19):
which is almost an inversion of the movie in the movie jack taunts hates his family
but he likes Stuart almond but in the book he hates Stuart almond but he really likes his family it's
very interesting and almond is kind of a jerk off in the book he's a total like capitalist

(47:40):
cheap skate jerk off so Stuart is telling jack about how he's just going to have to maintain this hotel
worst part is going to be the isolation because you're in there for the whole winter for like six
months from october to march or april or whatever but good news jack is working on a book so

(48:01):
five months of pieces exactly what he wants also in the in the novel version of this story it's
actually a play because jack was a high school teacher he lost his job for losing his temper on a
student so on he actually taught at stovington prep school and later on in the movie jack there's
no discussion about this in the movie at all but in the movie later on he's wearing a stovington

(48:24):
eagle shirt which you know kubernetes casually throws on there but in the book he has a student named
George hatfield who jack almost kills because he was being a little shit messing around with jack's
car slashing slashing the old valks wagon tires but old jacky boy caught him in the act
I guess he gave him the the tombstone or whatever I don't know what he did but but jack laments over

(48:50):
this throughout the whole book he's very concerned with his potential for violence
in chapter 27 he has this whole inner monologue telling him how he almost killed
George and maybe he would actually do the same to his own son Danny who he loves dearly in the book
because he actually hit Danny once after Danny was messed around with his papers
then there's one other thing steward almond tells him he says not to be melodramatic

(49:17):
but the previous caretaker Charles greedy came up with his wife and his two little girls
and he got cabin fever and he you know butchered his wife with his family with an axe and stack
their bodies neatly and then killed himself no worries though no worries Wendy's really
into ghost stories and horror films she's gonna love that bitch what no she's not jack's a liar oh

(49:45):
man and what's interesting is that the character grady who the character grady is interesting because
in this interview when he's talking about the old caretaker who murdered his family
his name is Charles grady but later on when jack meets grady it's Delbert grady and where do yet

(50:05):
Delbert is a waiter he's not even a caretaker so crazy he's the also grady has two daughters which
inexplicably are depicted by Kubrick as twin sisters they're not twins in the story anywhere
so now we go back to the apartment Danny's still talking to Tony and Tony tells him hey dad got the

(50:34):
job and he's about to call Wendy and let her know and when he's doing dishes and the following
register enough is jack right Tony do you think that'll get the job he already did
he's gonna phone Wendy up in a few minutes to tell her

(51:04):
hello hi babe hi how's it going great look I'm at the hotel and I still have an awful lot to go
through I don't think I could get home before nine or ten sounds like you got the job right it's

(51:26):
beautiful place you and Danny are gonna love it Tony what would we go to tell I don't know
you do too no but I can one tell me don't want to please no I don't need to tell me

(51:49):
oh
oh

(52:19):
okay and you'll notice that on the fridge there's a photo of a rocket launch and three big
cool aid containers that makes me think of a lot of things makes me think of drinking the cool aid
as in Jim Jones's mass suicide in 1978 but it was flavored everyone says drinking the cool aid

(52:40):
though in 1968's electric cool aid acid test which was a book about Ken Casey in the Mary pranksters
you're driving around America trying to get everyone to take LSD unbeknownst to them as part of the CIA
mind control m.k ultra and he would go on to write one flew over the cook who's nest which is a film

(53:04):
starring jack Nicholson so in a way we have a similar theory as we had with eyes wide shut the idea
that maybe Kubrick hired Tom Cruise to draw attention to his real life controversies like the church
of some technology like maybe he hired jack Nicholson to point to his controversies because you got this
Ken Casey mk ultra stuff which he would put in clockwork orange or maybe the polanski stuff which

(53:32):
would be even crazier because of the eyes wide shut child trafficking conspiracy theory
and you know Ken Casey loved the LSD so much he got a job as a janitor at the Menlo Park VA hospital
where he had taken part of them k ultra experiments and he would steal LSD and party with his friends

(53:53):
right and he would throw LSD into punchballs which was very curious because sitting got leave
in Poisoner and Chief in the book it talks about how he would also do this at CIA parties
where did he get that is he part of the program did he know it who knows now that photo of the rocket
on the fridge is interesting because it could imply reference to jack Parsons right the godfather

(54:19):
of rockets rocket science in America which ties us into the fake moon landing theory as well
particularly you can see a parallel of october 30th which is the night steaming king say to the Stanley
also jack Parsons did his first official rocket launch october 31st in 1936 in the aurora osako which is the

(54:41):
devil's gate damn and they call this the nativity scene of jpl jack Parsons laboratory or jet propulsion
laboratory which was the predecessor to nasa so see how that connects into this fake moon landing
thing and Parsons was known for reciting alistair croly's hymn to pen as an invocation before launching

(55:04):
rockets because he thought that rockets were piercing the veil into the realm of the gods
because all these nerds they were influenced by all the science fiction and the pulps
that they'd read their whole lives like Werner von Braun and all that stuff
also fun fact in the book windies described as a golden blonde she does not have black hair so that

(55:28):
goes right up there with more of this yellow versus red Volkswagen drama and i don't why i put that
in there right there bad bad location is it why did you you you took steam out of your jack Parsons
stuff anyway the phone rings is jack more we see more books stacked up jack tells windy he's got

(55:51):
the job he's gonna be home late whatever whatever and Tony which is Danny's little invisible friend
starts warning him not to go to this hotel and notice that he's talking to Tony through the bathroom
mirror which is a portal as discussed in my two part portal series and his shirt also has the number
42 on it and some inverted pentagrams which connects into the ideas of satanism

(56:16):
i had to keep doing this we're gonna revisit 42 symbolism later in part three part three is where we
unpack all of these conspiracies i'm just pointing them out as we go through them and giving you a little
bit a little taste all right now Danny he's sitting on a big plus teddy bear in this scene which we'll
talk about later connects into the child trafficking now this is symbolism of child trafficking as you

(56:38):
see in eyes wide shut as well he gets these visions of blood pouring into the elevator lobby we see
Danny screaming we see the twin girls oh my god what's about to happen nothing good
next act i guess closing day and we see the family driving up to the hotel through you know through the

(57:01):
mountain side or whatever you call that and Danny's hungry he's hungys and jack says
well you're shut at a breakfast then immediately they start talking about the donner party
who had to eat other people to survive in the winter and Danny says oh i know all about cannibalism

(57:22):
i saw it on the tv
boy who must really be high up the air feels so different

(57:48):
dad yes i'm hungry
why you should eat in your breakfast we'll get you something since we get to the hotel okay
okay um hey we're not around here that the donner party got snowbound

(58:08):
i think that was farther west in the seahorse
what was it done at party they were a party of settlers and covered wagon times
they got snowbound one winter in the mountains they had to resort to cannibalism in order to stay alive

(58:32):
mean they ate each other up they had to in order to survive
check don't worry mom i know all about cannibalism i saw it on tv see it's okay
so it on the television

(58:52):
now here we go again more crazy conspiracy stuff getting thrown in the mix cannibalism
it's a theory about the elites eating the ultimate forbidden flesh literally and strangely enough it's

(59:14):
it's right when Danny says he's hungry which is weird and we talked about this in depth with in 2022
there was a film called fresh and i did a film analysis on it and then i did another show where we
discussed a book by kyrtth Barker called cannibalism blood drinking and the high adept satanism

(59:34):
it's a very dark rabbit hole i will forewarn you right now and basically we linked the cannibalism to
occult rituals of the elites and symbolism of the sphinx human furniture shows up it's crazy
i should also note that steven king this dialogue about cannibalism is actually in steven king's novel as well

(59:55):
so now also during the scene you get real vibes of jack being being cold right being a dick
and the thing is if you grow up in the 80s and 90s you probably wouldn't think nothing of this this is how
dad used to be back in the day but in the movie kyrtth Barker made this a conscious effort because in the

(01:00:16):
book it's you know jack is a good guy he's just struggles with addiction he's trying to redeem himself
all that so we get back there they're at the overlook jackson the lobby waiting for steward
almond and his assistant to come give him a little tour and he's casually reading a magazine and
you probably know where this is going it's a copy of play girl magazine that's right a movie with or

(01:00:41):
a magazine with nude men now if you zoom in on the if you find the exact issue that this is on the
cover of this very specific issue is a story called incest why parents sleep with their children huh
lots of questions here right why is there porn sitting around the no less play girl especially

(01:01:07):
because they're cleaning out this hotel why this specific issue is kubrick alluding to child abuse
of dandy from jack stay tuned for more during the tour steward almond tells them that only the finest
people have stayed here meaning the elites meaning the illuminati bloodlines which I talked about in
kubrick's code now to support this claim even further in the book I'm going to read you from the book

(01:01:33):
he actually gives you names you'll never guess what names I know it's not Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates
says a man named Robert Townley Watson built it the grandfather of our present maintenance man
the Vanderbilts have stayed here and Rockefellers and Astor's and DuPont's for predisp for presidents of

(01:01:56):
state in the presidential suite Wilson Harding Roosevelt and Nixon now this is interesting because
Marcella DuPont is an Alice Bovier which is John Jacob Astor the fourth's daughter
so the those two were like close they were in attendance at Pujaric's 1950s sails for the nine which

(01:02:23):
is a very famous ritual sails where they made contact with I believe like these aliens from
ancient Egypt or some crazy stuff so this connects into the well this the nine connects us into the
most powerful illuminati families with extraterrestrial contact which you know the Rockefellers are
really into right and the Rockefellers the Astor's and the DuPont's they're all listed in the

(01:02:50):
Fritz Springmer book the Bloodlines of the Illuminati and of course Rockefeller a huge component of
eyes wide shut massive conspiracies here right and you know extraterrestrials would be the the focus
of two thousand one space odyssey in a way as well as Kubrick's last project which was AI that he worked

(01:03:14):
on with Steve Spielberg well I think I did a film analysis on AI as well so you can always check out
my index at illuminatiwatcher.com I've got an index you can check out and look for every episode it's
like seven 800 episodes um find the ones you like now Wendy and Jack they're on the tour they go

(01:03:37):
through the big Colorado room meanwhile Danny's in the game room and he's throwing darts he has this
vision of the these twin grady girls and right behind them is a skiing poster that says monarch
in huge capital letters now isn't that something because project monarch is an alleged subprogram of

(01:04:03):
MK Ultra here we go again right and monarch was studying the genetic passing of information
between sibling twins yeah represent it it's called monarch and because it represented by the
monarch butterfly which you can actually see in the final scene of a clockwork orange as I discuss

(01:04:27):
in Kubrick's code the butterfly represents the metamorphosis of the psyche of the victim creating
altars dissociating all that which is an eyes wide shut as going over the rainbow that's a term they
use when you dissociate and it ties into the theory that they were studying disassociation and ritual
abuse in order to program children's minds and they would allegedly abuse them to force dissociation

(01:04:50):
creating amniic barrier so that later they could be used these these altars could be used for
whatever heinous things they were doing is all allegedly right now I tend to personally believe it
because if you look at the history of MK Ultra through artichoke and bluebird it all comes back

(01:05:12):
through operation paperclip which is we brought all those Nazis over here what do you know you don't
think we were trying to do some heinous stuff like the Nazis but they were but they were
the bloodlines of certain people would make for more effective programming hence the twins that's
why the project monarch and catheo brine talked about this in transformation of america

(01:05:35):
we'll come back to that in the conclusion in part three but recall Stewart almond literally in the
interview had a whole conversation with jack about how there's no skiing at the overlook because jack
says wow this would be a beautiful place to ski you think you would keep it open in the winter
and he says no it'd be way too expensive to keep the roads clear in the winter
so why do they have a skiing poster in this lodge it makes no sense there's nobody up there from

(01:06:02):
October to march and in the room two three seven doc a theorist thinks that the poster is a
minitar because you can see that there's a weird like the balance of the body parts isn't normal
and if you read through William Snyder's book the minitar
he connects Kubrick with a guy named man Ray who was involved with the black

(01:06:29):
dahlia murders and Kubrick's first production company was called minitar and that's also the name of
man Ray's most famous art which is a naked woman's upper torso which some say was inspired by the
black dahlia murders of murder of Elizabeth short also there's a ton of ladders that you see when

(01:06:50):
they're walking through the overlook during the cleanup which seems kind of normal until you
really look at it right until you see how many there are until you look at their locations
sometimes they don't even make sense you're like where would that ladder even go
and the ladder is symbolism for free masonry and it's about progression of the initiate from the

(01:07:11):
lower ranks to the upper right ascension towards enlightenment kind of like how they use the spiral
staircase in the degrees of the second second re initiation which you see in eyes wide shut at the
zeagler mansion talked about this in James Shelby downers king kill 33 series
all right we're almost we're almost done hanging there folks hanging there folks uh windy and jack

(01:07:36):
they're being escorted to their room steward almas says goodbye to two young pretty ladies that are
walking by and jack is breaking his neck to take a look my goodness jack keep it together old boy
we hear that in 1907 they started building the overlook on Indian burial grounds and some native
people were even native Americans were even attacking the builders so there's your clear clue is the

(01:08:01):
what's going on with this hotel right it's on a native American burial ground so when he inject
they meet dick hollarand and he gives them a tour through this massive kitchen and
during this dick calls Danny doc a whole bunch and when he says how do you know we call Danny doc

(01:08:22):
because they call him that from the bugs bunny cartoon uh plots boiler it's because dick can shine
right he's got this ability to telepathically connect with Danny and you know Danny cues in on it
dick ask him if he wants ice cream in his mind right so then dick asks him out loud he's like hey do

(01:08:42):
you want ice cream Danny because steward alman is going to take windy and jack into the basement
now notice behind dick there's a can of calumet and we talked about this in Cooper's code where you
can see the native American on the can on the logo for calumet baking powder which again is a reference

(01:09:06):
to this native American genocide theory that people have about the film and another part of the film
worth bringing up at this point is when jack is talking to Lloyd the ghost bartender and says white
man's burden which is a term for the white man needing to imperialize and improve the lives of other
people similar to how they decimated the native Americans in America right

(01:09:31):
calumet actually literally translates as peace pipe now i've got an update on that i wrote about
white man's burden in the book um but i'm gonna come back to that i'll tell you more about what that really
means so dick is explaining the shining to Danny and i'm gonna play this clip it's kind of long

(01:09:54):
but it tells us what's happening and how it will play out in the rest of the movie take a listen
do you know how i knew your name was dark
you know what i'm talking about don't you
i can remember when i was little boy my grandmother and i could hold conversations entirely without

(01:10:26):
ever opening our mouths she called it shining and for a long time i thought it was just a two of us that
had the shine to us it's like you probably thought you was the only one but there are other folks
though mostly they don't know it or don't believe it

(01:10:48):
how long have you been able to do
why don't you want to talk about him
and now i'm supposed to

(01:11:10):
who said you didn't suppose to
Tony
who's Tony
Tony's a little boy who is my mom
just Tony the one that tells you things

(01:11:34):
yes
how does he tell you things
it's like i got a sleep and he shows me things but when i wake up i can't remember everything
does your mom and dad know about Tony

(01:11:57):
yes
do they know he tells you things
no Tony tell me never to tell him
has Tony ever told you anything about this place
about the overlook hotel

(01:12:19):
don't know i think real hard dog think
is there something bad here
well

(01:12:45):
you know dark when snooping happens they can leave a trace of itself behind
say like if someone burns toes
well maybe things that happen be other kind of traces behind
not things that anyone can notice but things that people who shine can see

(01:13:14):
just like they can see things that haven't happened yet
well sometimes i can see things that happen long time ago
i think a lot of things have been right here in this particular hotel over the years
and how the aura was good

(01:13:35):
what about room 2 c7
room 2 3 7
room 2 3 7 angel
no i
so how long does it mean 2 3 7

(01:13:59):
nothing
there ain't nothing in room 2 3 7
but you ain't got no business going in that anyway so stay out you understand stay out
so Danny tells
dick that he's not supposed to discuss the shining right

(01:14:20):
because Tony his invisible friend is alter
tells him not to which is interesting right and he calls him the little boy that lives in his
in his mouth uh could that be a very dark reference to the incestual or deal or
monarch abuse that section isn't in the book so kuber put that in there

(01:14:46):
and it's like he goes to sleep and Tony shows him things
that he can't remember when he wakes up it sounds like he's dissociating or he's going over
the rainbow as they say in programming parlance and dick asks if Tony is ever told Danny about the

(01:15:09):
overlook and he says think real hard right so implying that there's something important that he
needs to know about what's going on at the overlook since they're going to be stuck there for months
and dick says when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind and only people who
shine can can sense it right sometimes it's things that haven't happened yet sometimes it's

(01:15:32):
things that happen long ago and dick says but you know there's a bunch of stuff that happened in the
overlook that that aren't good so he's trying to parse out what he's experiencing so apparently it
was more than just great he apparently it was more than just the caretaker and the book provides way
more detail on this um we're gonna talk about the elites and the bloodlines and who owned the

(01:15:56):
overlook because the book gives you all that information we're gonna talk about that later
but also this idea was discussed in the book called cult and the occult by Peter Brooksmith which
we talked about in the eyes wide shut series because Kubrick had bought this book and in the making of
eyes wide shut book they talk about how Kubrick had an online certain passages in it that are relevant to

(01:16:20):
abusive children basically because there was a theory of shunomatism where even Nazi pilots would
like they were injured they would put young virgins against their body and their genitals it was
crazy stuff right talked about that in the eyes wide shut series should I put a link in the
show notes for the eyes wide shut series well why not I think I have an index for you um let me

(01:16:42):
put a link there you you can take a listen to that eyes wide shut series why you're waiting on part
two to come out here but anyway the book called no cult to be fair was published in 1985 which is
after the shining so Kubrick did not reference that book for the shining but what's interesting is

(01:17:03):
that in called no cult there's a chapter called gay way to the other worlds and in it it describes
kind of like the ideas of the shining here it says nature generates fields of static electricity
in certain places often near running water these fields are capable of picking up and recording the
thoughts and feelings of humans and creatures there's also a model electrical field are all around us

(01:17:24):
which is why people can walk into a room where a murder happens and sense the energy left in the field
it also talks about how there's a dream state that exists at a higher frequency which is
you know kind of what you see in the movie Inception with time dilation or twin peaks
it talks about how the human body can be tuned like a machine to pick up on certain vibrations or

(01:17:50):
frequencies and it's kind of uh sort of related to the ideas of sex magic as a way of reaching this
altered state or tapping into another realm and this is what the shining is about it's about
tapping into another realm and that's why people I argue love this movie so much it's showing us

(01:18:14):
something that we can all sense this is very similar to why twin peaks so effective it's the
animal moon d it's the vast underground reservoir of memory of all the past human experiences thoughts
dreams hopes and so on which some people would say like a landable vassie would call it the Akashic

(01:18:35):
record David Lynch would practice transcendental meditation which would get you in touch with the
unified field these are all very similar right now in the book in the novel this scene where dick is
talking to Danny takes place in a car and Wendy is like kind of nervous about what they're discussing
she's watching it right now what's interesting is that it's in chapter um chapter 11 of the shining

(01:19:00):
which the number 11 is the number for magic right as per Alistair Crowley and
in the book they talk about dreaming while being awake and how sometimes it's like seeing pictures in a
book and Danny says yeah it's kind of like the story of blue beard which is strange because if you

(01:19:23):
look at the story of blue beard it's about and I don't know the story I just researched it for this
this series it's about a wealthy man who marries a young woman and he gives her the keys to his
mansion and tells her look the whole mansion is there's one room you can't go in though just one specific
room because it turns out it's loaded down with the bodies of all his previous wives and this is very

(01:19:49):
much parallel to the idea of room 237 it's the one room he can't go in because Grady the caretaker
it stacked up the bodies in there it's the hidden chamber only those who are initiated can enter
because if you don't you can go crazy and at the end of the scene Danny asks about room 237 and

(01:20:13):
Dick he starts tripping out like do not go to room 237 because he knows all this and that's where we
