Red Ice Radio - Jay Weidner - Kubrick's Odyssey & The Brotherhood of Saturn

At around 39 minutes he says that the Lord of the Rings was about what Tolkien had read in old books in Oxford in languages that only he was able to read, and spent hours upon hours doing so.....that Tolkien always got angry when people referred to it as merely fiction, and claimed it was really about the history of Europe.

Very interesting ideas about Saturn being a gateway and Saturn even being mentioned in Gnostic texts.

Also go to youtube and check out Nasa space sounds of Saturn....very eerie!

“It’s an interesting thing. Seeing Kuan Yin relating to a flower so intently. She's not just looking at it; she's interacting with it…I’m seeing how the act of relating to a flower appears to be so simple. Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a “simple” act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.”
