Certainly got a few of my own I guess no doubt... and currently making another Irish imprint on my Soul in this life too (as I live there/here).

I saw a vid/documentary I really enjoyed on Irish Round Towers (about 30mins long) in relation to some Druidic Practices of the past, and how such was taken over by the Church (perhaps alot like what your Cousin (Pixie) may have been apart of (the actual preserving), in trying to keep the Old Ways alive).

Occult Ireland : Round Towers, by Thomas Sheridan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnmZjvZC-eQ [30mins]

Anyhow, I still feel it's relevant to even the Ulysses Theme, in that such is another Culture or Set of Stories being re-worked to fit with the new Regime and thus influencing the younger Generations, much in how the Ulysses Cartoon in part reversed my Aversion to Mythic (from my POV) Stories like that of the Biblical Narratives by giving them a Science Fiction Twist.

Also, off hand Mirage/Pixie... when you mentioned the Blue Skinned Male (from your Dream), and then Pixie's link to the Twilight Zone Episode, not sure if either of you noticed but one of the Female Leads in the Ulysses Cartoon (and loved the Character) is a Blue Skinned Alien from a planet called Zorta

Bio: Yumi is one of the children saved by Ulysses before their adventure begins. She comes from the beautiful planet of Zotra, whose inhabitants are all blue-skinned. Although physically weak, Yumi is intelligent and is developing her powers of telepathy and telekinesis.

Most likely to say: "Back home on Zotra.."
-=-=-=

And as a kid I really identified with Yumi (and Numinor, her Brother) alot, cause you know... back home on Zorta... I remember life being very different

Oh yea, I did see the Lovecraftain Tarot cards! And I really need to pick up a set sometime as I'm also quite fond of Ye'Old Divination Arts...

Enjoyed reading your posts and happy to share what I can in response, thanks for making it interesting (Still trying to catch up on the various links you have both posted)!

Back Later

Here's another (fun) vid having to do with 'moments', and time-travel.

"English Grammar in Time Travel" (Big Bang Theory) [2:34] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcu6GEti_94

Saw the first ten minutes of your Tower vid, L_K. Thanks...
I'll have to watch the rest later.

Btw, I don't think it gets mentioned (at least beyond where I started it), but notice that they're all wearing blue shirts. They are under Genie's power...

I'd forgotten about this series.

I enjoyed that vid, mirage.

Something else that caught my attention in regards the Blue Man motif and of them being some kind of World Builders, even related to Dreamscapes... and why Blue...?

And then I recalled THIS image/explanation from a Graphic Novel: (Something PJ had shared/posted I believe)

(Alice & the Nightmare) http://www.aliceandthenightmare.com/comic/chapter-2-page-13

Where again you have both Yellow and Blue “Suits” as in the TWZ episode, responsible for Creating/Maintaining Physical Reality (or of a Dream Reality outside of Normal Time)... again... such patterns repeat in so many ways and forms, from one iteration of Art and Story to another... yet often remaining exactly the same

Fascinating stuff!

Anyhow, been listening to a Philip K Dick vid recently, a sorta Examination of Time from the POV of a Science Fiction writer and his (Phil's) experiences, and what he thinks happens in regards the ideas of Repacked Myths (or themes) showing up in our Reality again and again, as well as the concepts of Precognition and remembering not only the Ancient past, but from Phil's POV... the Ancient Future

^^I’ll likely link that up later, I’m just looking up some of the essays mentioned in the vid, to see if I can post excerpts that might be helpful.

More discussion saved for another time.
Have a nice weekend.

^^Just sharing some of the PKD vid I mentioned previously, the Two parts I liked best were the Retro Causality of Phil writing about the character of Anarch Peak, who would later become Anthony Peake (in real life) some 40+ years later... And it was the Anthony of this Universe who wrote a book about Phil titled The Man who Remembered the Future.

Starting Point #1 http://youtu.be/bbW6ZOmoFgY?t=9m50s

Then afterwards the Video’s Author reads excerpts from Phil's essay on How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later - Philip K. Dick, 1978.

Essay Reading Start Point #2 http://youtu.be/bbW6ZOmoFgY?t=12m24s [Starting @ 12:24min]

Towards the end of the reading things get real fraking crazy in how Phil was writing of Past (Fictional) Events unknown to him (on a Conscious Level), and then actually living them out in a Real World Setting, again not being aware of what was happening until he realized it was like almost watching himself from a different point in time that he had previously remembered.... (Mind Bending Stuff)!

Anyways, his theories on the state of the Timeline and it being Biblical in Nature I'm less inclined to agree with... HOWEVER... rolling around the likes of what he suggests in a Pattern Matrix to where you have Homeric and Ulysses like adventures running on Repeat (The Narrative)... is it possible that in the same Retro Causality Function... Ulysses 31 could be the actual basis of Ancient Myths rather than the other way around which we assume to be true... That the Miracle's and Impossible feats of Mythic Hero's were really the Dream Sequences remembered and sent back in time to our Past Selves and recounted relative to how such Ancient minds might Interpret the Technology of our Venerable Space Jesus that kids saw on TV back in the 80s? (Giggle)...

Well, I always enjoy a good mind bending brain teaser... though this type of Retro-causality like thinking can push the boundaries of what we can class as even being remotely possible...

Though another aspect which befuddled Phil in his writings, and how he essentially re-wrote parts of Acts (from the Biblical Texts), even though claimed to have never read such in his current life time... my POV on this (and assuming such is true, the concept of Past Lives), is simply a case of him having read previously (in other lives), the Book of Acts many times and thus left a lasting impression on him! Enough so that when he came to writing about certain events in his stories he Unconsciously Accessed that data which was carried over from one life to the next. In either case... it STILL requires leaps in Logic as to how even that is possible whether you want to go with the Theory of Past Lives, or just Phil using his own Awareness to somehow pull on data outside of his Localized Time and make such into a Reality he later Experienced.

There are many Examples of Writers and their fictions Mirroring Real Life events unknown to them, though when it comes to Science Fiction... obviously, there is going to be a Delayed Ripple Effect... yet it somehow still happens anyhow...?

Hrmmm... such makes me wonder about the likes of PJ's Space Odyssey stories... could events here be Mirrors of what PJ's Characters and Ultimately our Future Selves might experience when WE get there... :O

Plenty of scifi has explored this concept, even ST:NG has had a couple of episodes similar to this. The trope is that there is either a loop that creates a paradox as it could never happen unless it started independent of the time anomaly, unless something else did and the anomaly cancelled out the original reality, but it's still a paradox because without the original reality to spark the time loop then the time loop shouldn't exist. Or people start to gain a bit of familiarity, a deja vu that grows as they relive a moment over and over again (but each time seems like the first time to those experiencing it over and over again) until someone averts a cosmic disaster that then allows them to escape the loop.

'Course more believe in spirals rather than eternal circles, or the concept of parallel worlds (which could be loops that differ each time), and though it seems unlikely, it could help explain some cases of the Mandela Effect.

It doesn't have to be strictly one of these, but a combination (and the Mandela Effect happens when one timeline shifts that "gravitate" it to another timeline that merges or takes on/trades subtle aspects, for example, or maybe even major ones that aren't recalled--ironically, it would be easier to notice the subtle changes more than the major changes because the subtle can seem more real while major changes just seem imaginary, and perhaps what inspires a lot of scifi and such). And if the cosmos really is, for want of a better word (though maybe it's the perfect word) a virtual reality/hologram, then there's nothing against multiple games/simulations taking place in which someone could hack from one into another (which could be entirely a matter of consciousness), or even just a bit of spaghetti code gone wooly.
