We'll explore the moon landing hoax MK Ultra project monarch incestere's blood sacrifice Crowley's abyss rituals and the devouring
Father archetype what if the shining wasn't just a horror story but a blueprint

(00:30):
for the elites spiritual war
You're listening to a cult symbolism in pop culture the world's greatest cult symbolism podcast and we have been unpacking the shining
And this is the third and final part
Will there be a part for some day maybe if I find more findings, you know, I'm always on the

(00:52):
I'm always on the look always on the lookout
Now in part three we're gonna decode the entire film which we walked through in part one and part two if you listen to those parts
What are you doing here go back to part one start there
This is where we're gonna put it all together. We're gonna elaborate and expand upon all these ideas that we've been teasing
Throughout the film

(01:14):
We're gonna talk about Stephen King America, Illunehadi bloodlines, Eyes Wide Shut Elite parties, Epstein connections, Scullum bones, Key Club occult symbols and portals
Cut up method, Labyrinths, MK Ultra, Nazis, NASA, the Fig Moon landing project monarch, Appetto, Incess theory, Jack Shadow from Carl Young
Blood sacrifices to the gods
The capitalistic meaning of God the devouring father theory the Crowley's rituals and the blood needed to cross the abyss is so much to unpack

(01:39):
We got to get right into it
What was this film all about?
We're gonna start light and we're gonna get heavier as we go stick with me because by the end you're gonna say
Holy crap I think there was so much going on in that film. I'm gonna have to rewatch it. Yes. That's what we do
It's what we do

(02:01):
The lightest and most obvious there's some kind of beef between Cooper and Stephen King right there some drama there
You saw it throughout the film you had the the red Volkswagen bug from the novel getting destroyed
Wendy's hair in the book is golden in
In the movie it could be any further from it. It's like solid black

(02:23):
We're not even in the same hotel where the Timberline lodge for the exterior shots instead of the Stanley hotel
Room 237
Was a replacement for room 217
J. Winer the great the OG he said that there is no room 217 at the Timberline
So that whole story about the Timberline

(02:45):
Saying hey Stanley Kubrick don't you make a big scary story about one of our rooms people aren't gonna want to stay there. Apparently it's not true
Dick Halleran
Takes two different roles in this story in the book he saves Wendy and Danny in the movie. He's just acts fodder for
for Jack Torrance

(03:05):
And steve king obviously hated this whole movie he remade the whole thing for a TV series
And of course it wasn't as good as Kubrick of course it wasn't I don't know what he was thinking
And I like Stephen King. You know I don't know shades of Stephen King
Hey, hey, hey, let me hollat you real quick as you know I've moved my online store from gumroad to

(04:40):
s-y-m-b-o-l-i-s-m dot com links in the show notes. Let's get back to the show
But if I got a pick one I'm taking Kubrick now. I don't know. I shouldn't even say that. I really enjoy steven king's books, you know
The stand I heard they're remaking the stand again. That's great. I like the stand and it and misery and say it was a lot. Oh boy

(05:08):
I don't know if I can pick I can't pick between steven king and Kubrick
Next next topic and theme of the shining though. We're sticking with the shining America. All right
As you recall throughout the film we saw the outfits being worn by our characters
Red, white and blue almost every scene
US flags everywhere in the dispatch offices at k2 k12

(05:31):
The game room where Danny was playing and he saw the gritty twins
Stewart almonds office loaded now with propaganda
Eagles and flags and he looked like JFK
Then you of course got the fake moon landing right that whole theory
A theory

(05:53):
presented by j widener in the Kubrick's Odyssey series
With of course you already know the story
The allegation is that Kubrick was hired basically by NASA
Possibly the operation paper clip Nazis even America
Possibly through contacts with JFK as is described in

(06:15):
Oh, what's his name
We talked about his book the Minotaur by recluse
But anyways the idea is that Kubrick allegedly filmed a fake moon landing this 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing that we all saw in the tv
Fake news and you already know I think the whole moon landing is fake

(06:38):
In fact, I'm gonna put a link in the show notes for you guys
um
Fake moon landing link because I did a whole show about this. It's one of the only theories. I kind of stand on business about
that and I don't think
the
Trump assassination attempt was real. I think that was staged

(06:59):
firmly
Just as fake is the moon landing I think
Now the question is was Kubrick paid to do this as a siop
I believe it could be I have no proof. I don't know if Kubrick was involved
I do think the Apollo
Moon landing was a siop

(07:21):
Because why wouldn't it be right?
Here in America were were spoon-fed propaganda
About how terrible communism is and how great capitalism is and
The American Empire must
Exist every in every country around the world
So why wouldn't they do that to us right they've taken out communist leaders in other countries

(07:42):
And look I love America. I think it's I think this is a great country, you know
I just saying we get lied to sometimes facts, right
Kubrick left America in 1965. This is before 2001 space. I just see this is before the moon landing

(08:03):
He left and he never returned to not one time
And three years later he drops 2001
A year after that Apollo 11 happened
And the theory is that he confessed to all of this in the shining in 1980
The evidence includes Danny sweater which literally shows the Apollo 11

(08:25):
Rocket what do you call it?
Shuttle space shuttle
The carpet which looked like the landing pad of Cape Canaveral
Room 237 being a reference to 237,000 miles from the earth to the moon
And the key chain that said room number which

(08:46):
JY Nernterbritz says if you rearrange the letters as moon room
And the distance to the moon this is one of controversy
From what I understand
From the nerds they say that the moon
It's a satellite of the earth on an elliptical orbit which means the distance from the earth to the moon varies

(09:09):
Varies from as close as 225,000 miles to as far as 252,000 miles
So 237 is dang near in the middle. It's dang near the average of those two. I mean we're off by about a thousand to be fair
But the point remains is that JY Nernter's got a pretty solid theory with the fake moon landing deal

(09:31):
There's a video of Kubrick allegedly confessing to it this guy looks like Kubrick
This is before the age of AI
I've read that that's not real. I don't know obviously I wasn't there
I think Vivian Kubrick has his daughter
Has publicly denounced this theory

(09:53):
Said it was impossible. She was with Kubrick all those years and hey
But it all points to one one idea one theory that is something we all can believe in the elites control us and they control us through magic through the illusion and entertainment
Stuart Almond

(10:15):
Tells Jack and Wendy only the finest people go to the overlook
And that's the elites and to back that up in the book
It spells it out it says it's bloodlines like the Rockefellers the Astors and the DuPonts
These are the Illuminati bloodlines as we discussed in part
I think one

(10:38):
Then we have the latter symbolism referring to the Freemasons
Then we have the Native American idea
How the overlook was built on Indian burial grounds
And then these references to keeping America clean as well as the Calumet baking powder which shows the Native American on it
And recall that the book
Goes into detail on the the bear man who's given the Hummer for the Summer right

(11:02):
the Dogman
And he is revealed to be a sex slave for the owner of the overlooked Horace Durwent
And Horace Durwent used to throw these depraved parties which were very similar to what you hear about Epstein and Diddy
Black metal type stop operations

(11:23):
Which is where we connect into a deeper version of this
Uh a hot take on this elite theory right
This is where we get into the ideas of eyes wide shut the elites
And how to access hidden realms
Because in the book version
The details given to us are about the owner of the overlook Horace Durwent

(11:44):
And
When you read the book you find out that Jack Torrance while he's at the overlook
He goes into the basement and he finds these scrapbooks
And the scrapbooks relay the history of who owned the hotel and what they did
There was a party on august 29th 1945
That said it had unmasking and dancing at midnight

(12:08):
Unmasking by default means they were wearing mask this was a masked ball
Just like Kubrick would show us an eyes wide shut
He was very intrigued by this whole idea because he probably attended a party or heard of a elite's attending parties just like this
And then towards the end of the book there's these constant references of

(12:30):
Jack hearing the voices of Horace yelling um unmask unmask because it midnight they were supposed to pull their mask off
Again a reference you can find in eyes wide shut
Because as you know the history standing Kubrick met his wife at
A masked ball that's right
And
An in eyes wide shut red cloak

(12:52):
Instructs
Tommy Salami Dr. Harper to remove his mask
It's the only protection he has of this anonymity in this party of elites the finest people that Stuart Almond talks to Jack and Wendy about
And we know eyes wide shut is about the Illuminati because at the end Ziegler gives Dr. Hartford a final warning about who he's messing with

(13:15):
Right
Furthermore
If you followed my six-part series on eyes wide shut
You know I dedicated an entire episode to the Edgar Allen post story the mask of red death
Now the mask of red death was also very important to Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King

(13:35):
I'm gonna read you from the shining the novel
Dinner at eight unmasking at midnight he could almost see them in the dining room the richest man in America and their women
Another you know Alomaniac affirm where make no mistake about it
He's talking about the elites
Tuxedos and glimmering starch shirts evening gals the band playing

(13:58):
gleaming high-peat high-heeled pumps the clink of glasses the jokened
Jokund pop of champagne quarks
The war was over or almost over the future lay ahead clean and shining
America was the colossus of the world and at last she knew it and accepted it and later at midnight during

(14:20):
Himself crying unmask unmask
The mask coming off and the red death held sway over all
He frowned
What less field had that come out of that was Poe the great American hack
And surely the overlook the shining glowing overlook on the invitation he held in his hands was the furthest cry from Edgar Alon Poe imaginable

(14:42):
So you can see that um that story was important to Stephen King
And what's interesting is that
Stephen King talks about the honor of the out the overlook having

(15:02):
All these connections to the military industrial complex
various businesses involved with bootlegging prostitution
And gambling prostitution of course important here did he abstain
He also owned top mark studios which was a Hollywood film studio what do you know
And he put a man named Henry Finkel in charge of it Henry's described as a raging sex maniac in the book

(15:28):
And coincidentally he also talks about a child star that died prematurely for top mark studios take a listen to this
Probably Durwin's most famous investment was the purchase of the
Foundering top marks. I think there's a misprint in this uh I
I read this on Kindle and I copied and pasted it. I think it means floundering

(15:51):
Does find a mistake?
Okay probably Durwin's most famous investment was the purchase of the floundering top mark studios
Which had not had a hit since their child star
Little Marjorie Morris
Had died of a heroin overdose in 1934 she was 14
Little Marjorie who had specialized in sweet seven-year-olds who saved marriages

(16:16):
And the lives of dogs unjustly accused of killing chickens
Had been given the biggest Hollywood funeral in history by top mark
The official story was that little Marjorie had contracted a wasting disease while entertaining at a New York orphanage
Some cynics suggested the studio had laid out all that long green because it knew it was burying itself

(16:37):
And you know that there's possibilities that
This was part of the Hollywood system because we know the story of Drew Barrymore
Who was hooked up to drugs and going to parties when she was a child in Hollywood
and
Horace Durwin who was behind all of these various

(16:59):
Deferious business operations
Was described as the world's richest men and the friends of royalty. Take a listen to this
It says the ward made him rich and he was still rich living in Chicago seldom seen except for Durwin
Enterprises board meetings which he ran with an iron hand

(17:20):
It was rumored that he owned a united airlines
Las Vegas where he was known to have controlling interest in four hotel casinos and some involvement in at least six others
Los Angeles and the USA itself
Reputed to be a friend of royalty presidents and the underworld kingpins
It was supposed to be it was supposed by many that he was the richest man in the world

(17:41):
Maybe no mistake about it. We're talking about the elites talking about Elon Musk and
Epstein and all these folks
Horace Durwin would sell the overlook in 1961 it became a writing school with
um
A bunch of alcoholics apparently which was ironic since jack is a writing alcoholic at the overlook

(18:05):
Uh
Says that in 1961 four writers two of them pulled surprise winners had at least the overlook and re-open it as a writer school that had lasted one year
One of the students who got drunk in his third floor room crashed out the window fell his death
The paper handed it might have been suicide
Also in the story jack reads all this stuff and he decides he's gonna write a book

(18:29):
About the overlook in its history and he even calls steward alman
To tell him like hey, I'm gonna write a book about all this and steward's arch trip and hard right
But here's where it gets real interesting after the writing school it gets bought by some vegas
mobster types

(18:50):
And they call it the key club
Says Robert leffing spokesman for a group of investors going under the name of high country investments announced in vegas
That high country is negotiated a deal for the famous overlook a resort located high in the Rockies
Leffing declined to mention the names of specific investors, but said the hotel would be turning to an executive key club

(19:12):
He said the group he represents hopes to sell memberships the high echelon executives and american and foreign companies
And of course, there's a bunch of mobsters and criminals
But it's curious to chose the name key club because keys are the most occulted symbol of all says James Shelby downard he would know
They symbolize access

(19:35):
Into the back rooms right you heard
Oh, man, what's his name?
comedian
Kevin Hart talked about how in Hollywood there's like a room within the room he says you think you're in the room
And then there's a little door. There's another room within the room right
Well the key is the symbol of accessing that inner chamber of knowledge

(19:56):
Through indoctrination or initiation it's accessing new realms crossing dimensions
Like the keys of Solomon or the lost keys of free masonry or even bluebeards key which start out bluebeard in part two we talked about room 237
Because keys symbolize the power to the elites

(20:17):
They have the authority control over who can enter and who can access this intersankton this internosis
It's giving the mysteries
To only those who deserve it basically
Which takes us into the idea of occult symbolism and portals in this this film

(20:39):
Because the story of the shining came from Stephen King originally
Remember he stayed at the Stanley and how all these nightmares and visions he stayed there October 30th over you know over Sowing
But Kubrick would take the story and he would further

(21:00):
Alter it and it's alleged that he was using surrealist techniques
Like the cut-up method from William S. Burrows
Actually created in the 50s by Byron Geisen Brian Geisen excuse me
Who was what he would do is he would cut up newspapers
On his paint table to sort of like paint and he noticed that sometimes these words would

(21:24):
Assess some of themselves into certain messages and then William S. Burrows would apply this sort of technique into his writings at the as the David Bowie
Genesis P.O. Origin so on you could even argue that the ghost adventures use a similar idea with one of their their voice box machines
It scans frequencies and kind of pulls out chops chops upwards
And in a in

(21:49):
In this surrealist technique. It's a way of pulling messages or information from a hidden realm from the shadows and
Breaking free from the restrictive forces of Saturn right
sort of like automatic writing in a way and which
Kubrick's I'm sorry, which David Lynch's daughter Jennifer Lynch would use some forms of automatic writing to write the secret diary of Laura Palmer

(22:17):
Because all these you know Stephen King David Lynch Stanley Kubrick all three of these prolific creators had a way of making contact with unseen realms
But the cut-up method would provide a way of a sort of mini time travel effect because it disrupts this linear process of time

(22:40):
And jumbles up the words within it and burrows would put this in the stories when
scenes would jump between the future the past and the present
and it
reprograms the mind to
stop projecting and linearly trying to
predict what the next line or idea is going to be

(23:02):
Which uses your conscious ego and it tunes into what's currently being said
And allows the unconscious to work is how the theory goes
And Kubrick and Lynch are very good at this they create these dreamlike films
Done partially by playing with the linear time stuff right like ten piece. That's a big component of it is

(23:25):
You know what year is this kind of thing
And Jack
We're told Jack Torrance in the shining we're told has always been the caretaker. How's that even possible?
Well, when you throw the timelines out the window of the years in a linear time maybe right because Jackson the photo from
1921 at the end of the movie
How's that even possible?

(23:48):
The point is is allowed to make contact of the unconscious mind who engage with the art that they are creating
And Lynch's films are very good at engaging the subconscious mind and
Really mashing up timelines, you know
Especially when it comes to like the red room and twin peaks
Time seems to be a little slippery. Okay. They speak in reverse

(24:13):
That's what like a literal cutting up of language. That's a literal cut-up method
But in the shining there's a scene in the book
Jack and Wendy they make love and again Kubrick didn't
Put this into the film for a reason he wanted Jack to be just basically a monster from the get-go

(24:34):
But in the book it steve king made him more relatable made him kind of like a
You know just a normal dude who had some struggles
And you know there was a reason Kubrick didn't put that in there, you know because Kubrick was he was not afraid of putting some sex on
He was a big old perv he was talking about making a big high-budget porno at one time

(24:54):
But in the scene in the book
They're discussing what's going on with Danny out Danny's having these visions and Jack explains to Wendy
How symbolism works in a very youngy in language. Let's take a take a read here
He gave her a brief squeeze we know he goes into well

(25:14):
Trans is for want of a better word from time to time
We know that when he's in them he sometimes sees things he doesn't understand
If pre-cognitive trans is are possible they're probably functions of the subconscious mind
Freud said that the subconscious never speaks to us in literal language only in symbols
If you dream about being in a bakery where no one speaks English you may be worried about your ability to support your family

(25:40):
Or maybe just that no one understands you
I've read that the falling dream is a standard outlet for the feelings of insecurity
Games little games
Conscious on one side of the net subconscious on the other serving some kaka meami image back and forth
Same with mental illness with hunches all of that. Why should pre-cognition be any different?

(26:00):
Maybe Danny really did see blood all over the walls of the presidential suite
To a kid his age the image of blood and the concept of death are nearly interchangeable
To kids the image is always more accessible than the concept anyway
William Carlos Williams knew that he was a pediatrician
When we grow up concepts gradually get easier and we leave the images to the poets

(26:22):
Interesting analysis here interesting idea talking about the images and the concepts being related through symbolism and
How when we get older the concepts become easier
But the images become harder and this is one of the major components of occultism when you look at Kenneth Grants work
That we did a show on outside the circles of time

(26:43):
I'm gonna put a link to that in the show notes. That was a good you can't miss that one
Kenneth Grant outside we just did that not too long ago
That was a really good
example of um
How they talk about the artist being able to perceive disruptions and

(27:04):
How important it was to have artists make contact with these hidden realms the shadow side
Of the cabalistic tree of life and so on
And what do we get in the movie we get Danny talking to Tony oftentimes through a mirror a mirror being a classic portal right we did a two-part series on portals
Also very important in revealing

(27:27):
Red rum as murder so in a way Kubrick was showing us reverse speech in the written form
yeah now
Because you know Kubrick was in the david lynch we talked about this already the part one we talked about how he was screening a racer head for everybody
And then we also have the labyrinth being a component of the story because

(27:49):
It's gonna be about jack confronting his shadow inside of it as the minotaur but the shadow wins. We're gonna come back to that here in a bit
He's trying to cross the abyss to become a master of the temple in terms of Crowley and uh jack Parsons talk
But he's got too much ego and he dies in the maze
It's all about the idea of dream spaces accessing other realms

(28:13):
That's why jack can see Wendy and Danny inside the labyrinth diorama inside the hotel and it makes no sense as does the layout of the hotel
It makes no sense
It's supposed to be that way
In the book there is no labyrinth and there's no discussion about how the rooms don't line up and there's floors that don't exist

(28:35):
And strange because in the store in the book
There's no labyrinth but there's hedge monsters
And there's a part where Danny sees one of the hedge rabbits covered in snow and
views it as the white rabbit
Classic tale of initiation Alice in Wonderland
Then you got Saturn which is a huge component in the symbolism of this story

(28:57):
Because that's a main theme is this confusion of time and the construct of time
Jack's always been the caretaker how
How did he know who dealt where great he was when he had never seen him before
How does that tie into some of these ideas of the cut-up method?

(29:17):
Well, it's about sort of chopping up time and and um not
Falling in line with the rules of the planetary force of Saturn
And we know
The hotel and its pagan pantheon of denizens are
Bloodthirsty they want Jack to sacrifice his own son to the hotel

(29:41):
And this is an element of Saturn worship okay
They're very much into the
Human sacrifice as you can read about in the cult of the black cube by author moros
I'm probably doing a book club on that someday
interesting read
and
The saturnian element is the devouring father mythology which is a reference to chronos eating his own children

(30:06):
And the technical mythology is actually that Saturn or chronos would consume his children whole
He would swallow them like a pill not necessarily cannibalism but
Swallows them like a pill and they would later come back
And join a war against Saturn where he would eventually be enchained
And sent to the underworld to rule which is symbolized as the black cube

(30:30):
But Saturn is known for the cannibalization of children or the cannibalization of other gods
In the way of consuming them to take their essence which is very much tied into the ideas of shunmatism
Which is what Kubrick was

Well, you're gonna have to listen to it because I dug deep into the film the making of the film
I bought the original book the Kubrick bought that talks about shootin' with ism
And it's this idea that ties into the realm of a drain of chrome and child abuse and all those things
What's all about
And that's why maybe Danny was talking about the Donner party cannibalism in the car ride to the overlook at the beginning of the film

(33:59):
But in the cult of the black cube by author moros he describes the various forms of saturday night worship and here's some elements we need to look at
There's a he goes through a few different forms of saturday worship and this one is about islamic
saturday worship and he goes through
Some rituals that show how
It's important to look at the concept of time

(34:22):
he says
Uh, these suggest a deity that is seen to be timeless or to have power over the course of time
Is good to indicate here that these are not terms that are used of the other six planetary gods
And since clearly those gods are quite ancient we understand that saturday is ancient in a truly cosmic sense

(34:44):
And the ideas presented are that saturday is the ruler over
Other planetary bodies. It's also a dark force
For instance, they called saturday and zoo hall and zoo hall was attracted to spilled blood
They would sacrifice bats to this god and

(35:05):
It's supposedly like black animals, but the bats hold a significance in the Arab culture it goes deep into it
Which makes me think about aziaz born biting the head off that black bat
Um
Also makes me think of was it 40-year-old virgin?
My guys says I cannot put my knife away until it has spilled blood

(35:27):
off topic
but the
ruling of saturday
Includes locations such as the black mountains, graveyards and basements
That's how it's described in
Cult of the black cube all of which
Are part of the overlooking it's on a mountain

(35:50):
It's on a native american barrio ground
And the furnace is in the basement the furnace is part of the it's more important in the novel than the than the movie
But it's it's all lining up to saturday worship
It also says that the sense of saturday the smells

(36:11):
Are like wasteria and licorice which connects us into the realm of twin peaks yet again
Because this is whole idea about wasteria being a secret twin peaks project maybe we
I discovered the wasteria at the end of season one
Inside of one hijax as wasteria
Saturn is also the god of

(36:33):
Cold and icy
All right
In going beyond the pika tricks
We note that its compiler repeats the earlier words of even washia the that Saturn is cold
At the risk of restating what that transmission has already explained so clearly
We should alert the reader once more to the important fact that zuhal is understate is understood in this particular

(36:58):
Islamic tradition as a cold harsh distant power
Zuhal is the icy harsh power that embodies restraint
Which can come from sickness weakness age imprisonment isolation and even death
He is the deity the symbolizes restraint and his influence corrupts and distorts the power of the other planets
To the point that the pika tricks tradition warns against attempting planetary magic

(37:22):
If Saturn is adversely placed or retrograde as the tradition holds
The Saturn's restraining power will limit or distort another wise successful magical working
Note how jack torrents dies in the film dies from exposure to the ice and the cold inside of the labyrinth

(37:42):
In the book of course he dies because the furnace blows up
And you can also read in the book about the Indian Saturn god of mythology called sonny
And it's described as a belief that sonny can introduce death to a person
Which is a good thing in their view
Because they believe in dharma which suggests that it's better to die

(38:04):
And be reincarnated rather than
Continuing to accrue bad karma
Which would have a more negative rebirth. So in a way jack is
Stacking up his bad karma butchering people
So Saturn kills him in the icy cold labyrinth which is a good thing
Because now it can be reborn yet again as the caretaker to start over

(38:29):
Now we've got one of the bigger theories mk ultra mine control
And we call it kubr because no noobie to this territory
He did a little film called a clockwork orange a movie literally about government mind control and behavioral modification
If you check out the links to part one we talked about how important catcher in the rye is to this story

(38:57):
It's in the movie you see Wendy reading the book and how it has ties to mk ultra intelligence stuff through jd salinger
Massive rabbit hole of possible intelligence agencies doing mind control operations
You also see the cool aid showing up twice at Wendy's apartment and also in the pantry which we tied into the ideas of cults

(39:20):
And then you got Nazis which is where mk ultra came from
Recall that kubricks wife Christian
Christian, I don't know how you're name Christian her uncle was viet harland the nazi propaganda director so kubrick
May have really been intrigued by these occult ideas
And the story steven king's original story, you know has a vulkswagen which the vulkswagen is the people's choice carved germany

(39:48):
and there's also
The adler typewriter typewriter in kubricks version
Not the underwood it's the adler which is a german typewriter that means eagle which we tied into all the american symbolism
back in part one or two I don't remember
And we call the history of mk ultra was to bring Nazi scientists over in operation paperclip

(40:14):
a lot of it was done with
NASA or jpl for rocket science like Werner von Braun
Which could tie us into that the reason we saw the rocket launching on the fridge in part one
Because those Nazis they weren't just good at rocket science and occultism. They were doing mind control experimentation

(40:36):
And this is all part of the Apollo 11 fake moon landing
You know
Which already went on and on about all this because you know kubrick film 2001 before
Right before america saw this supposed footage of america's landing on the moon in 69
The theory also includes the idea that he got this very rare NASA Zeiss lens

(41:00):
Apparently he was three of the only ten ever created if it's one of the fastest lenses ever
That's how he got the candle
Light scenes in berry linden
And jydener also asserts that kubrick was using front end screen projection techniques in 2001 which you see on the fake moon landing
And if you add in all the strange connections that

(41:21):
Jay had found it seems
Maybe there's something to that basically right
And it could be um
Well, I don't think that's important. I don't want to take you. I don't want to go down this too far off path but
The idea of mk ultra includes this idea of unlocking supernatural powers the CDs

(41:49):
Danny's ability to shine basically and
It's theorized that this is accomplished through traumatic sexual abuse
And when someone is abused they are forced to disassociate from their body and create alter egos sometimes
That's why Danny has this alter named Tony

(42:10):
Could have been put in place there through some kind of traumatic abuse
Remember he said Tony lives in his mouth
It's pretty dark
And the idea is that Danny unlocks these supernatural powers of divination into the future
And the ability to detect this unified field this anima mundi

(42:33):
Which fits into a lot of the mk ultra type programs which or the remote viewing stuff like project stargate
Which we interviewed writer Lee about and Danny says
It's like he goes to sleep and Tony shows him things
It's because he's going over the rainbow. He's disassociating
Which is a common theme we see in i2 wide shut right with the over the rainbow costume store

(42:57):
So maybe the over look is another evidence of going over the rainbow
And it's arguable that jack his own father could have been
doing these
Abused to Danny remember we had the whole creepy scene where

(43:17):
Jack is sitting with Danny on his lap
Jack was reading the play girl magazine with the article about incest
We see Danny lying on the giant petal bear and then later you see the bear man given the hummer for the summer to the elites
You know and in the book
Danny is the one that sees the dog man. It's not a bear. It's a dog in the book

(43:40):
And the dog man says something very creepy to Danny
He says the Danny not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
His small red eyes were fixed attentively on Danny's face he continued to grin
I'm going to eat you up little boy and I think I'll start with your plump little cock
Yeah, that's in the book

(44:01):
Yeah
And you know we've compared lynching kubernetes multiple times
so
When we look at this film through that lens of okay was Danny being abused
From his own family and sexually I mean
Could tie into the world of twin peaks

(44:23):
And then you've also got the project monarch references with the grady twins because you know because the twins are not in the book
They're just sisters
But in kubernetes version their twins
And they show up for the first time by a poster that says monarch
Monarch allegedly being a program to research bloodlines and how psychic abilities could be passed genetically which

(44:48):
You know jack has the ability maybe that's why he drinks so much and he heads into Danny
We find that out in dr. sleep that jack was an alcoholic or I'm sorry that jack had um
Shining abilities to I believe
And the book it says something real concerning to add to this theory

(45:13):
I'm going to read you this passage and you're going to hear
Jack torrents
sympathizing with a chalmalester listen to this
He's and he's right in this section. He's taught jack is a writer and he writes plays
And he's talking about his own characters that he's written about

(45:36):
Ordinarily he liked all of his characters the good and the bad he was glad he did
It allowed him to see all of their sides and understand their motivations more clearly
His favorite story sold to a small southern main magazine called contraband for copies has been a piece called the monkey is here
Paul de long

(45:59):
It had it had been about a chalmalester about to commit suicide in his furnace room
The chalmalester's name had been Paul de long
monkey to his friends
Jack had like monkey very much
He sympathized with monkey's bizarre needs knowing that monkey was not the only one to blame for the three rape murders in his past
There had been bad parents the father a beater at his own

(46:23):
As his own father had been
The mother a limp and silent dish rag as his as his mother had been
A homosexual experience in grammar school
Public humiliation
Worst experiences in high school in college
He had been arrested and sent to an institution after exposing himself to a pair of little girls getting off of school bus

(46:43):
Worst of all he had been dismissed by the from the institution
Let back out onto the streets because the man in charge had decided he was all right
Jack could sympathize with grimmer's problem
He could sympathize with the parents of the murder victims
With the murdered children themselves of course and with monkey to long

(47:06):
Let the leader let the reader lay blame in those days he hadn't wanted to judge the cloak of the moralists sat badly on his shoulders
So there you go
A little an echo firm Jack he's he's and and this is a concept that we've talked about many times in the past

(47:27):
On breaking social norms more than this show this idea of how do you stop this from happening? We all agree this is a terrible thing
probably could be the worst thing right and how do you stop this kind of behavior and
Where do you assign blame because a lot of times people that do this kind of stuff were victims of it when they were kids, you know

(47:51):
It's not to take blame away from them, but it's also like well
How far back do we go at assigning blame?
And it's interesting that Kubrick would choose Jack Nicholson to play this character after reading the book
You know he was in one flue over the cook who's nest he was friends of Polansky at his own strange family history that we talked about in part one

(48:12):
And we can go a little bit into dr. sleep
I did a whole show about this I believe back man 2019 I think
And the story is about Danny as an adult battling his addictions to alcohol and he works in a hospice
And he uses his psychic abilities of the shine to assist people as they die to pass. That's why they call him dr. sleep

(48:36):
And it's interesting because in the in the play girl magazine the article is about parents sleeping
With their children. I don't just a little play on words I guess
But I mean in the in dr. sleep there's lots to talk about magic like his cat his name asrael
Which is the name of the angel of death

(48:58):
His niece is abra stone which is a play on the word abracadabra, which is the nostic god
And she can shine with Danny they communicate telepathically again
Didn't you've got this vampire cult called the true knot
And they feed off of steam
All right
And the steam is the psychic ability of people like like Danny with their shining

(49:24):
And if they find that if they take these kids with these abilities and they scare them like they they threaten to like stab them with a knife while they hold them down in the book
Um, they can get more fear and the more steam out of these kids
It's very adrenochromish

(49:44):
And it all ties into these ideas like we talked about with shunomatism and harvesting energy from young virgins and all this crazy stuff
Right
And I think Kubrick might have been showing us how the elites ritualistically
Use these concepts blood sacrifice abuse and all these things
And here's just another example with jack torrents and his character
Jack shadow

(50:08):
I am jack's violent shadow
Reference to fight club to be our next big film analysis. Thanks to all the patreon and VIP section voters
And it's kind of funny because I'm reading fight club right now and like that's why that's fresh in my mind because that that's what they say is
Anyway, you get it if you've seen fight club you get the joke

(50:31):
Anyways, the shadow is a reference to the theories of Carl Jung, which is where all this idea symbolism comes from
And he believed that the shadow is this repressed unconscious part of our personality that is where we hide all of our little nasty bits
Our weaknesses our fears our desires all this stuff and we repress it

(50:53):
Because it's dangerous
But in the occult and a lot of new age thought
There's this idea that we should embrace it we should do shadow work to approach this shadow
And become whole become whole and evolve which is what Carl Jung was saying he said I'd rather be whole than good
Because there's some kind of power to evolve that way

(51:16):
And my thought is that jack torrents is time in the hotel
Is about descend into madness and murder
The house
Facilitates the shadow taking over jack torrents
And it throws all these entities at him we got Lloyd and

(51:39):
Grady who are egging him on to murder his family basically
And those could just be architized from jack's own subconscious
And he navigates his own mind
symbolized by the labyrinth
Going deeper inwards towards the shadow at the core where the minitar is
He fails to integrate the shadow it takes over and destroys him

(52:04):
And this was the warnings that
Alex the crole and jack Parsons had for this process
And the overlook is the abyss and
It represents the space between the ego and the conscious mind versus the shadow and the unconscious mind
That one must cross over

(52:25):
To find their true divine self and become whole
And jack couldn't let go of his ego he ends up
letting the shadow take over before he can cross he fails and goes mad as the exact warnings are
For this type of operation for malice to croley
Furthermore in the book you hear why Danny has these powers of the shiny he was born with a call

(52:46):
Which is why he has this you know shining ability and the call
Is a superstition
And the call is actually an amniotic sack that is attached to a baby's head at birth
Kind of like a veil and it happens
One in 80,000 births and it's an omen that they believe gives psychic abilities to divinate the future

(53:08):
visions
Seeing between two worlds
There's another twin pigs chance out between two worlds
But Danny he's able to do this he's able to live in both worlds the conscious and the unconscious opposing polarities if you will
Simplized by the baffamette stance of jack taunts at the end of the film

(53:29):
Call a young would say that integrating these two is something
uh, you can do through individuation
But Danny was born integrated
Okay, he was born with it
And add more to the magic idea of this in the book. There's this constant drama of these wasps
At the hotel the jacks trying to get rid of and Danny gets stung by one after jack fails to kill them all and it makes him feel bad and they talk about

(53:58):
Bees and wasp and the differences between the two and the point is I believe that bees reference magic
That's a it's a symbol for magic, right and also
um
Could be part of why
Jack is shown with arms of the baffamette is the integration of the shadow, but the magic idea is

(54:21):
Sort of owned by Danny, which he has integrated the shadow already
And we know that the hotel is alive
From you know how the story goes, but
What if it's a giant mind
Jack is a form of the unconscious shadow
Danny is the conscious

(54:42):
And it's trying to individuate and bring these two together, but it keeps failing in the shadow, which is jack keeps winning
That's just an idea. I don't know
But it keeps projecting shadows onto the caretakers
Now
Now let's go to the final theory. Let's wrap this up. Yeah, this is kind of a longer one though

(55:05):
It's the big concept is blood sacrifices to the gods all right
Jack
Makes a falstian bargain with the bartender Lloyd. He says he's give us sulfur a drink
But now he owes the hotel some blood the blood of his firstborn son

(55:26):
We also know that he appears to be stuck in this
Spaced time of the hotel overlook
And Grady tells him he's always been the caretaker
And there's this whole dialogue of him telling Wendy about how
He's got these obligations that she'll never understand
And we're assuming it's the obligation of watching the overlook as the caretaker

(55:50):
But what if it's not that what if it's the falstian bargain
Jay Widener thinks that maybe this is how Kubrick felt he had a bargain or a pact with NASA for the fig moon landing
And now he's got to fulfill the contract
But in the book you hear more about how the house once danie and jack
um

(56:13):
To the house once jack to kill danie
Under the idea that jack will be promoted if he does a good job and become the manager
And during the party scene when jack sees horus durwin tormenting the dogman roger
Jack is talking to Grady

(56:34):
Who is saying like hey if you blood sacrifice your son we're gonna make you the manager
All right, so there's part of the falstian pact
I'm gonna read you from the book
A dedicated man
Grady said warmly perhaps I put a badly sir let us say that your future here is contingent
Upon how you decided to deal with your son's waywardness

(56:55):
I make my own decisions
I make my own decisions jack whispered
But you must deal with him I will
firmly I will
A man who cannot control his own family holds very little interest in our manager
A man who cannot guide the courses of his own wife and son can hardly be expected to guide himself let alone

(57:17):
Assume a position of responsibility in the operation of this magnitude
I said I'll handle him jack shouted suddenly and raged
Tuxedo junction had just concluded and a new tune hadn't begun his shout fell perfectly into the gap in the conversation suddenly cease behind him
His skin suddenly felt hot all over he began fix italy positive that everyone was staring at him

(57:40):
They had finished with roger and would now commence with him
Roll over sit up play dead if you play the game with us will play the game with you position of responsibility
They wanted him to sacrifice his son
So it's very crystal clear in the book that's what this is about the hotel ones jack to murder blood sacrifice his son

(58:00):
They want him to play the role of Roger the dogman who as we talked about in part two is
Begging for this attention from horse Derwin the wealth of the elites
And he has to play this game
And he does and in the book scene
Grady takes jack to a a clockwork piece that it's midnight and

(58:25):
The in the piece it's a guy smashing his son's head in with a hammer
Because in the book it's not an axe. It's a hammer right it's a croquet hammer
And this is a scene where they also compare
The story to the mask of the red death
Now we talked about 42 a bunch right

(58:47):
Two times three times seven equals 42 they're watching the summer 42 when he swings the bat 42 times Danny says red rum 42 times
Danny's wearing a 42 in a shirt
Well, what does it mean and in Kabbalah it means god
And I got this from a book called meditation and kabbalah from
R.E.A. Kaplan

(59:08):
And the concept is laid out as an instructional for meditation prep
By pronouncing certain Hebrew vowels that add up to 42
All the i'm going to read you from the book all the vowels therefore point to the fact that they're in god's hand
Y H V H equals 42 I think it's pronounced Yahweh

(59:30):
This is alluded to in the verse let us fall in god's hand for his mercies are great
But let me not fall into the hand of man
Their mystery is god equals 42
My only one equals 42 in them equals 42 my heart equals 42 will be worthy equals 42
And this mystery enough enough enough equals 42

(59:52):
And if heaven forbid when you pronounce these two verses you still do not receive the divine influx speech or visible vision of a man
Start again begin the third verse
So the point is to perform this sort of incantation to god and
The initiate would receive this divine influx of vision of a man

(01:00:13):
A prophetic vision all right, what does that sound like it sounds like the shining of prophetic vision
by
Calling upon god, which is 42
Which could explain why you see 42 throughout the entire film over and over and over
It's a cabalistic initiation of having contact with god or maybe it's meant to
Create an actual psychic ability in the viewer in a crazy way, right

(01:00:42):
Now the final shot of the film we see jack in the baffa med stance as above so below
He's the magician in this film creating this hell scape and making Faustian bargains
He attempts to cross the abyss, but he fails
He's attempting the ultimate sacrifice like Isaac slaying his son the ultimate offering to these gods

(01:01:02):
Only there's no angel to stop
Jack here to save Danny
Dictorance I guess
Erb dick haller an excuse me
And again, we talked about the archetype of the devouring father like we see in a variety of shows and stuff
And Carl young talked about it as one of the archetypes like the symbols

(01:01:24):
We talked about Jack telling Wendy about Freud
In the devouring fower the devouring father is like the shadow
In the story of chronos and the hotel is a strange mix up of space and time
Because we don't know what year it is right and
There's this layout of rooms and floors that don't make sense and this is this weird scramble

(01:01:50):
So
Then there's a let me see here
So the idea is that jack
Um needs to perform a sacrifice in a particular ritualistic manner and if you read

(01:02:11):
In print in magic if you read magic in theory and practice by Crowley
He says this
Talks about blood sacrifice says the animal should be therefore killed within the circle or the triangle
As the case may be so that it's energy cannot escape
An animal should be selected whose nature accords with that of the ceremony thus by sacrificing a female lamb

(01:02:35):
One would not obtain any appreciate quantity of the fierce energy useful to a magician who was invoking Mars
In such a case a ram would be more suitable
And this ram should be a virgin the whole potential of its original total energy should not be diminished
For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest impurest force

(01:02:56):
a male child
Of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory and suitable victim
What do you think Danny is young virgin male child innocent high intelligence he can shine
That's the idea here fun fact dick halorand
gets axed inside of a circle which is where the

(01:03:19):
animal or kid should be killed according to Crowley
But the point is that the blood is a
spiritual offering a medium to cross dimensions
And the reason for this entire ritual of crossing the abyss is to detach and destroy the ego

(01:03:40):
Make contact with the divine or god that's what is done through the usage of the number 42
And it's a purification process that
Is confronting the shadow the darkness that resides within jack only the shadow gets the better of jack
And in the book version

(01:04:03):
There's an epigraph where Stephen King reads from Edgar Allen pose mask of the red death
Which kubrick was using some aspects of the story as well like the in eyes wide shut
the orgy ringleader wearing the red cloak which is
um
In mask of the red death and there's a character named ludovico which ties into clockwork orange

(01:04:27):
Ludovico you know a character in mask of red death
But the story has some ritual elements um blood sacrifices satanic doctrines
and so on and in
kubrick's
Okay, let me back up so for the making of eyes wide shut book

(01:04:48):
As we talked about in the eyes wide shut series
kubrick picks up a book called cult in the occult by Peter Brooksmith and
He underlined a certain passage. I was able to buy that book and
this is the part where
He talks about using children
This is from cult in the occult says such a sacramental use of sexual intercourse can supposedly be employed as a means of acquiring a cult power and at its highest

(01:05:15):
lead to the ultimate goal of the mystic union with the divine
The emperor barbarossa held young boys against his stomach and genitals to transfer their energy
So you can see why Danny would be the highest
Offering sacrifice and that's why the house wants jack to kill him so bad

(01:05:35):
And what strangers in the book jack has a childhood memory of encountering this abstract painting of what he interpreted as Jesus
And the nun calls the painting the miracle of god and the full context is that
He's actually come to the realization that the hotel wants to get to Danny through jack because jack is weak

(01:06:00):
And he finds this out in chapter 33 no less right the highest number of free masonry crisis age during his death and resurrection all that stuff
But this abstract painting this miracle of god jack as a boy couldn't see it
He couldn't see Christ he thought everyone else in the all the other students who said they could see it
He thought they were faking. He's like what are you talking about? I don't even see it. It's a metaphor for religion, I believe

(01:06:22):
But it's only when jack gives up
And casually sees it out of the corner of his eye that he has the realization and he sees the vision he sees Christ
There's a big section here
It says and he turned to go back and okay and as he turned to go

(01:06:45):
As he turned to go he had seen the face of Jesus from the corner of his eye
Sad and wise
He turned back his hardness throat
Everything it suddenly clicked into place
And he had stared at the picture with fearful wonder unable to believe he had missed it
The eyes the zigzag of shadow across the carer-worn brow the fine nose the compassionate lips

(01:07:08):
Look at Jackie Torrance what had only been a meaningless sprawl had suddenly been transformed into a stark black and white etching of the face of Christ our Lord
Fearful wonder became terror
He had cussed in the front of a picture of Jesus. He would be damned. He would be in hell with the sinners
The face of Christ had been in the picture all along

(01:07:29):
Now what's curious is that
He has a similar moment in the shed when he's looking for the snowmobile battery and he in the book he goes into this
He's looking for this battery for the snowmobile so they could take Danny down to the sidewinder town
And he assumes someone just stole it

(01:07:50):
When they packed up for the winter
And he's actually relieved because he didn't want to do it. He didn't want to take Danny down to the town
And
It's when he is when he gives up when he goes to turn and leave
Is went out of corner of his eye he finds the battery right
Now of course he doesn't end up taking Danny down to the sidewinder, but the point is there's a there's a sort of

(01:08:18):
Weird idea of giving up
And then seeing the truth
Right
But the voices so and this is the in the in the book
That's like kind of the metaphor for how this whole thing goes down because jack
Goes to put the battery in but then there's some voices in his head like they're like hey tear out the alternator

(01:08:43):
And he does and he tosses it into the snow
So in conclusion
There's so much going on in the shining okay
It's kind of like a little mini twin peaks
And you can interpret so many angles
That I believe this is why it makes it one of the greatest films of all time
People can tune into whatever resonates him into what they see

(01:09:04):
And for me, I think the big one is this idea of
demonic entities
calling for
The blood sacrifice of jack's firstborn son
So in a way it's a book about or it's a story
About religion
And demonic forces

(01:09:24):
Overcoming us and taking over our bodies and possessing us
And even the dangers of
Communication with these entities is part of the process and then of course you got all these sort of
Sort of light lighter topics that you see elements of like mk ultra
The mythology of the labyrinth and Saturn

(01:09:48):
You got the baffamette stuff and then you've got the real-world stuff that was very interesting to me when you read the book
With the key club and horse durwin and these elitist parties that were going down with the masked balls and things like that
Which makes me think even further about eyes wide shut and how kubrick
Made that a big scene with the orgy scene with the the masked ball which ties into the same bloodlines that we're talking about in the book
