Lynda.com’s headquarters in Carpinteria, California

The journey here took me all day – 2 ferries, 2 planes and a rental car to get from my home on Cortes Island to the hotel where I am staying near Lynda.com’s headquarters in Carpinteria. I got up early in the morning and traveled 40.32 km over land and water from my door to the airport in Campbell River, according to Google maps. I then flew 111 miles to Vancouver, BC and waited several extra hours for my second flight to depart. It was delayed due to a mechanical problem and all the passengers had to switch gates 3 times while they tracked us down a plane that would safely fly. We then flew 1081 miles from Vancouver to LAX, just 1 mile off the magic 1080. After waiting in an interminable line and picking up a rental car in Los Angeles, I drove ~86.4 miles and opened the door to my hotel room at 1:08 AM, I kid you not.

LOST counter

At least I had a smile on my face, even though I was tired. If you’re not quite sure why I was smiling, please read the Cosmic Sequence and maybe you too will enjoy the universe’s number games. Apparently it was no accident that I arrived at exactly 1:08.

In the end I recorded 108 videos for my AutoCAD course at Lynda.com.

That reminds me, the last time I went on a trip to record tutorial videos was in 2012 when I went to Graz, Austria to the headquarters of Video2Brain. My plane touched down at 5:55 pm local time. I seem to recall another number coincidence on that trip regarding the number 108 but I can’t recall it anymore. In any case, Lynda.com acquired Video2Brain and that is what led to me being in California rather than Austria this time around. The culture in Austria is fascinating but the weather in California also pleases me.

Maybe there is no such thing as a coincidence? I am sure wondering. Take it from Albert Einstein,

“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”

I like his line of reasoning, although I’m not sure I’d attribute coincidence to a father sky deity, but maybe that’s not exactly what he meant to imply.

I took highway 33 out to Ojai…

…saw Barrel 33 when I got out of the car,

and saw this sign while strolling down State Street in Santa Barbara:

I had dinner with a fan of SIPS, Richard Paschal, who snapped these last few photos on the way to meet me in my hotel:

Richard’s eyes are open to synchronicity. It’s amazing what is in plain sight when you have eyes to see it.

Did I mention I was born at Latitude 33°? That’s another story.

I found all this synchronicity highly serendipitous!

I was going through some old paperwork last night and came across a folder of memorabilia from high school. I had a good laugh at this letter:

I don’t remember that test and unfortunately I have retained very little Spanish, even though I went on to take 4 years of classes. What kind of superhuman effort did I exert on September 21, 1984 to warrant a letter sent home to my parents? Maybe my superpowers shine brighter on the equinox?

That’s mildly amusing but here’s what really got me laughing out loud:

The address of my high school is 33333 Golden Lantern. Is the address some kind of alchemical statement? Is golden lantern a euphemism for the pineal gland? See my post on 33.

The phone number was (714) 496-6666, back when most of southern California was all in one area code. But look at that: five sixes all in a row. Did I go to an illuminati high school?

If you have read much of my blog, my book, or watched my two films you will probably be smiling at this “coincidence.”

Dana Hills High School is in Dana Point, which is in southern Orange County, the namesake of a TV series called The O.C. (which I have never seen).

Dana Point’s population was most recently measured at 33,351 (2010 census). Just 18 more people than the perfect 33,333. Dana Point covers a land area of 6.5 square miles. Do you know what I have discovered about 6 and 5?

Dana Point Harbor viewed from end of Blue Lantern

I recognize the scenic vantage point from where this wikipedia photo was taken. I remember carefully reading Plato’s Republic during the summer of 1984, sitting in a gazebo at the end of Blue Lantern where this photo was taken.

The streets in Dana Point’s historic core are named after colored lanterns, used by sailing ships 200 years ago to advertise their wares. However, this was only done in 1930 in the spirit of faux romanticism that real estate developers succumbed to when they laid down the bones of this town. The United States is so young, especially the West Coast.

I was just looking at Dana Point in Google Earth and decided to look at neighboring Laguna Beach, which, by the way, was the name of another awful TV series.

I zoomed in on the hospital where I was born and smiled again because it is located at 33°30′ north latitude.

My birthplace at 33°30′ north latitude

Was my DNA genetically engineered by the Anunnaki? They must have messed up because I was born without both of my legs below the knee and also without my right hand. I’ve walked on artificial legs since I was 18 months old. All through my childhood I needed a new pair of legs every year or so as I was growing (and less frequently now that I am an adult). As you might imagine this turned out to be a financial burden for my parents.

Luckily for me the Shriners donated funds to have a few pairs of legs made in my childhood. You know those guys who wear those funny Fez hats driving around in miniature cars powered by lawnmower engines at parades? Oh well maybe you don’t know. They do that to “promote a positive Shriner image to the public.” Is this the most effective method you can think of to accomplish this goal?

His Fez says Syrian Corvettes. The word corvette comes from a sailing warship with one tier of guns. But why Syrian? I must be missing something.

The Shrine used to be called Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, but in 2010 they changed their name to Shriners International which describes itself as “a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth.” Life magazine described the Shriners in 1938 as “among secret lodges the No. 1 in prestige, wealth, and show.”

Up until recently, Shriners had to complete the Scottish Rite’s 33 degrees (or the York Rite degrees) before being eligible for membership. Shriners are therefore a brotherhood of elite freemasons at the top of the veritable pyramid.

I traced the Fez hats back to Fez Morocco where the red dye used on the funny hats made from crimson berries originally came from.

Fes aka Fez, Morocco

I searched for Fez in Google Earth (which is also spelled Fes) and its latitude comes up at precisely 34.033333° N. I have never seen any city whose label comes up with such a perfect string of threes.

Children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-centered environment, regardless of the patients’ ability to pay.

The Shriners are doing good things for disabled children and that is outstanding in my book.

Back to the O.C. just one last time. Just 4.44 miles from my birthplace is the Chet Holifield Federal Building, known locally as The Ziggurat. It is a 7 stepped pyramidal complex that was built in what was the middle of nowhere around the time I was born. Now it is in the middle of a town called Aliso Viejo that didn’t exist when I was in high school. The Ziggurat is owned by the US Government and the Department of Homeland Security controls the top floor. Also the IRS shares part of the building. Death and taxes. When I was in high school the place was a ghost town and I learned to drive a stick-shift in its vast and empty parking lot. It is located at 33°33’33” N.

Chet Holifield Federal Building at 33°33’33” N.

Interestingly the Ziggurat was designed by architect William Pereira who also designed the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, but that is another story.

Here are a few fun facts:

After visiting Los Angeles, I experienced a lot of synchronicity in San Francisco on the return drive to British Columbia where I live. This post builds on the discoveries I made in my San Francisco video and in the Secrets of San Francisco post.

On this particular trip in late November (11/11) I wanted to check up on the asterisk shaped barracks on Treasure Island to see if they’d been torn down and also to visit a number of sites I’d blogged about. I hope you enjoy the synchronicity of what I found.

My first stop was Treasure Island. Recall that I see the ancient Egyptian ennead encoded in the relationship between the angles of Columbus Ave, Mason Street (representing the street grid), the location of the Transamerica Pyramid, and the location, length, and orientation of Treasure Island as shown in my San Francisco video.

The derelict barracks are the two white asterisk shaped buildings at the midpoint of the Treasure Island edge of the nine-sided figure.

On my youtube channel, Andy Hill recently pointed out that the barracks have the same form as the asterisk (six pointed star) over the golden boy’s head atop the July Column in Paris.

I mentioned in my video that the hieroglyph of the risen Sun god Horus looks like an asterisk on a stick which is exactly what is on the genie of Paris’ head. Recall that Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval showed the word Paris comes from Pharia-Isis (in Talisman and The Master Game). Perhaps this golden boy represents Horus (Isis’ son) rather than Mercury as he is often thought of? Mercury often has winged boots or a winged helm rather than having wings himself.

I mentioned that Treasure Island’s 7 sides have Isis’ number. Here is another version:

I speculated that Treasure Island is tied to Isis and the Silver Gate or gate of birth (see my Esoteric Astronomy video) in an axis that passes over Alcatraz (representing the body as prison of the soul) and through the Golden Gate (gate of death) on the way to the Duat.  You won’t believe what is now located right in front of the barracks: a 40 foot tall statue of a beautiful dancing goddess. I think of it as a Statue of Liberty for the 21st century.

Look at how gigantic she is. See the humans by her foot (circled below)? She knocks the socks off the Colossus of Rhodes, wonder of the ancient world. To think that the Anunnaki might be this tall is awe inspiring.

This colossus is called Bliss Dance and is the creation of the artist Marco Cochrane. He has produced an amazing sculpture.

“Marco’s work, his philosophy, his whole purpose of being is to create a sculpture that reveals the core of the person in the moment. When he begins to work, revealing the shapes of the body in clay, you’d think that only the mechanics of their joints and muscles would emerge. Not so. He reveals gestures, tension and motion. The texture of the evolving sculpture reveals more and more of a core essence, the soul, and cradled in physical form. It feels like recognition.” -Ria Megnin

When I was standing there I started up a conversation with a guy who was also taking pictures. He tells me there is an iOS app that allows you to control the LED lights illuminating the statue both from outside and in. The sculpture is made of a metal armature covered by a stainless steel mesh skin. The surfaces can appear opaque or translucent under different lighting conditions, revealing a matrix of geodesics inside.

If the Transamerica Pyramid represents the obelisk (phallus) of Osiris as I claim in my SF video, then I can’t think of a more appropriate place for Isis to dance right across the water.

The site of the colossal Isis dancing in bliss is thrice great because of SOM’s 650′ Sun Tower that’s being planned for the site (to be completed circa 2022), which will replace the asterisk shaped barracks that occupied the same place where the tower from Expo ’37 was also located.

The two hangers and semicircular floatplane terminal on the right edge of Treasure island are the only structures from 1937 still extant as far as I can tell. I went looking for Marco Cochrane’s studio but found the doors locked to the hanger. He moved his studio into such a tall space because its one of the only places where he can build colossi (he is building an even larger one now). The only decoration on the exterior of the hanger is what appears to be Mercury (winged helm).

The other hanger has a sign displaying the rod of Asclepius (son of the sun god Apollo),  a blue asterisk, and wings in Angel Rescue Services which was apparently built for NBC’s Trauma (TV series 2009-2010). We have all been through a lot of trauma and the return of the divine feminine is something we all need in 2012.

Perhaps this angel’s features have an African quality? That would fit the black Isis story nicely.

Recall Our Lady of the Pillar at Chartres cathedral. Black madonna and child are positioned over the crypt which was a sanctuary of Isis long before the cathedral was built.

My next stop was Grace cathedral which has a labyrinth based on the one at Chartres.

There were a few surprises for me inside Grace cathedral. First of all by the entry there was an installation called Invisible Man by the artist Daniel Joshua Goldstein. The brochure about it says it would be there from Nov 16-Dec 4, 2011.

Here’s what the first paragraph on the sign says (shown on the right in the above image):

“Invisible Man is a suspended sculpture made of 864 syringes each tipped with a red crystal bead. The cloud of arrows surrounds a negative space that, as the work rotates, reveals a human figure. As someone who lived through AIDS in San Francisco, this is theme I call “the presence of absence.”

I was blown away reading that. Why does Goldstein tell us how many needles he used? And why did he choose exactly 864?

I’ve mentioned in my videos that the sun has a diameter of 864,000 miles, a mean solar day lasts 86,400 seconds, the distance from Stonehenge to Silbury Hill is 864,000 feet, the Place de la Concorde has an area 86,400 square meters, and the Transamerica Pyramid is 864 feet high including its crystal pyramidion tip.

The Invisible Man has a resonance with Osiris whether the artist is conscious of it or not. It has his solar number and fits right into the myth, Osiris being the invisible Lord of the Dead. This image depicts Osiris from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The white structure bears a resemblance to the Transamerica Pyramid. Incidentally my wife took this photo out of the sunroof of our car looking up at the Transamerica Pyramid. It is truly a pyramid when seen from this angle.

Next up in Grace cathedral is a giant metal inlay in the pavement at the center of the nave displaying the Chi Rho symbol.

Chi Rho is composed of the Greek letters chi (X) and rho (P), the first two letters in the name Christ (Greek: Χριστός).

Chi Rho was the symbol Constantine the Great saw in the sky just before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 CE. He ordered this sign put on his soldiers shields. They went on to win the battle just outside Rome resulting in Constantine becoming the sole ruler of the Roman empire. He then adopted Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. Constantine used the motto In Hoc Signo Vinces which means In this sign you will conquer. Christianity became part of a plan to conquer the world.

The Jesuits use the letters IHS (in hoc signo) with a cross and nails inside a sun as their emblem.

The Knights Templar of the York Rite of freemasonry uses this emblem:

Don’t forget Windows XP. I still run XP in emulation on Parallels on my Mac only when I have to. Autodesk and Adobe still support XP. Even though Vista and 7 have come after, they haven’t conquered like Windows Chi Rho did.

On the right side of the entrance there is the AIDS interfaith memorial chapel, making the placement of the Invisible Man quite appropriate. Note the solar octagram star symbol on the pavement.

Next up in Grace cathedral is the glorification of the UN. There is a large mural in the nave depicting the UN which was of course chartered in San Francisco.

There is also a plaque on the left side of the entrance symbolically plaing the UN at the center of all world religions. Can you recognize some of the religious symbols? Creating a one world religion seems to be on the globalists agenda.

One religion, one government, one currency, one bank, one media, one army…one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

The UN emblem divides (and conquers?) the world into 33 sectors. Among many other things, 33 is the highest degree in Scottish freemasonry.

Right across the street from Grace cathedral is 1111 California Street, better known as Masonic Auditorium. Here I am taking a photo on the street of what’s inside 1111 California (Boaz and Jachin) and you can see the steps to Grace cathedral reflected behind me across the street.

Here is a detail of the mural on the building exterior. The right obviously depicts a tug of war. The sphere in the center of the war has curved lines suggesting the lines of longitude of the Earth. The four men appear to have symbols of Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force above them.

Dedicated to Our Masonic Brthren Who Died in the Cause of Freedom is a Remembrance Day message which is funny because 1111 California reminds one of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. See my Repeating Ones post.

I find it interesting that Mason Street is at the crest of Nob Hill. If you’ve ever driven up Califonia street from downtown you know it is frighteningly steep and the ultimate test of your ability to drive a stickshift. You come to level ground only at the top of nob hill when you get to Mason. Interesting that you see Grace cathedral behind the street sign for Mason.

Looking back down California you see 555 California behind Mason, the brown 52 story symbol I’ve written about several times before.

Are masons behind all this? Was all of this intentional? I doubt it. It is synchronicity.

Synchronicity: the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.

We went to Pier 33 looking for synchronicity and discovered that there is an interesting view looking back toward the city. You can see the Trance America Pyramid and Coitus tower poking up into the sky on either side of Alcatraz Landing.

Update: Justin Morgan posted the following photo on my Facebook wall depicting the view from the end of Pier 33 looking back at the city. Justin went to a party there on July 4th so the pyramid was lit up, it being aphelion (the day the Earth is farthest from the Sun) and all. The two illuminated towers appear to have the same height from this perspective.

Justin also discovered that Isis Imports is located at the end of Pier 33. Isis Imports, or “America’s Morgan Source,” has been an importer of Morgan Automobiles since 1968. It’s just a coincidence that Justin has the last name Morgan. Morgan Motor Company has been hand-building one car at a time since 1910. The logo is another synchronicity with the winged disc of Horus, son of Isis.

After so much phallic imagery I sought balance in the feminine dome of city hall, some 3333 meters away.

Recall that I drew a line from City Hall to Alactraz Landing and it passes right over 1111 California (see my Secrets of San Francisco post).

I foolishly thought I’d be able to enter City Hall and take pictures of the 5th largest dome in the world but the occupy SF movement had the police in lock-down mode. Here they are patrolling the civic center plaza, the same plaza where very close by the UN was chartered in 1948.

We decided to get out of there as the occupy protesters began marching down the street and the police started erecting barricades. That was enough synchronicity in the city for one day.

I went to LA in November and had a chance to take a closer look at the All Seeing Eye Pyramid in Century City, to experience the Magic of Holly Wood, and to investigate the mysteries surrounding the Santa Monica Pier. I made a bunch of interesting discoveries that I think you’ll enjoy especially if you have been following my work. Here’s what Century City Plaza looks like in Google Earth:

The two equilateral triangle buildings at the base of the pyramid are 44 stories each, making 88 floors of symbolic power. There are 88 constellations in the night sky and the road flanking the buildings on the right just happens to be called Constellation Boulevard.

I saw only two signs identifying what corporations are housed in the Century Plaza towers: JP Morgan and City National Bank; the latter’s logo reminds me of Jacob’s ladder.

Perhaps the towers are “the way up” to Orion and Sirius? The ancient Egyptians certainly believed that building copies of the stars on the earth would confer particular benefits.

“Whoever shall make a copy of the Duat, and shall know it upon earth, it shall act as a magical protector for him both in heaven and in earth, unfailingly, regularly, and eternally.” -The Book of What is in the Duat (circa 1400 BCE)

The long rectangular building above the top of the pyramid is the Creative Artists Agency. It has an inner void which a talented pilot might fly a helicopter through in some high budget movie.

The address of CAA is 2000 Avenue of the Stars. Constellations of stars are members of CAA:

“Creative Artists Agency is a talent and literary agency with offices in Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, Beijing, and London. CAA represents the most creative and successful artists working in music, film, television, theatre, sports, and games, and provides a range of strategic marketing services to corporate clients. The agency serves as the access point through which artists, consumers and global brands intersect to create, acquire and sell entertainment properties, and to enrich entertainment and brand experiences.” -Source

When I was standing there for my 15-minutes of observing fame, a drop dead gorgeous woman (I don’t have a clue who, but she looked Italian) got out of a brand new Porsche and walked past me into CAA.

The “eye” is really a semi-circular stone plaza in the middle of Century Park. It’s not really perceptible as an eye within a pyramid on the ground unless you think like an architect. You’d be able to see it plain as day from high up in the either of the twin towers which seem to resonate with Jachin and Boaz.

Put them together and you have the Star of David.

“How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.” -Source

I took the above photo from the Annenburg Space for Photography which looks down on the plaza. The Space was closed the day I visited but the exhibit they were hosting was called Beauty CULTure, showing a number of incarnations of the goddess Isis, or Lilith if you prefer her Babylonian Talmud version.

We drove down Santa Monica Blvd and saw people filming a scene seemingly for the cult of beauty…

…on the way to Hollywood & Highland (H&H) and the Kodak Theatre which is the permanent home of the Academy Awards ceremony. Hmm, the sign is just one letter off from Isis.

I wanted to get a closer look at what I call the Ishtar Gate. It’s bigger than I imagined, but the real shocker was what is framed perfectly under the gate off in the distance.

It’s the Hollywood sign. This is especially interesing because of the Hulu commercial I referenced in the Magic of Holly Wood where Alec Baldwin enters a secret alien base underneath this sign. The developers must have oriented the plaza in reference to this iconic sign:

Update: Thank you Christopher Hunter Myers for your comment on my Synchronicity in the City post relating to your blog post which in turn references an article by Philip Coppens called “The Phallis of Osiris in Hollywood?” Both are utterly fascinating and well worth reading.

To summarize, the best selling author Linda Goodman who wrote Sun Signs (1968), believed that there was an underground chamber underneath the cross on Hollywood Hill literally containing the phallis of Osiris.

“There are some hints that Goodman might not have been the first interested in this piece of land. Interestingly, the summit of the [Hollywood] hill is the only piece of property in LA that is circular in shape!” -Source

Richard Cassaro asks the intriguing question, “Was Jesus the Second Coming of Egypt’s Christ?“

Goodman spent a great deal of her own money having scientific tests performed that apparently showed that there is indeed a secret underground chamber under the cross on Hollywood Hill.

Philip Coppens wrote, “Hollywood Hill was a private project of Linda Goodman, which largely died when she died in 1995.” I wish her investigation will someday be reopened.

The line connecting the Ishtar gates goes right between Hollywood Hill and Hollwood Bowl on the other side of the the 101 freeway.

Conductors use another type of holly wood in the form of batons to entrance their audiences at the summer concerts at Hollywood Bowl.

Don’t forget the original Ishtar gate is 6555 miles away from the Ishtar Gate of Hollywood & Highland along a line that perfectly traces the city wall of Babylon itself.

Winged Babylonian gods holding pinecones flank the entrace to Victoria’s Secret inside H&H’s courtyard on one side of the Ishtar gate.

What is Victoria’s secret really? You know what those catalogs represent, that same CULT of beauty. Here’s an earlier issue:

The Whore of Babylon

Bel-Air is just a stone’s throw from H&H. In my post on 666, I mentioned that in 1989 Ronald and Nancy Reagan retired to 666 St. Cloud Road in Bel-Air. Nancy had the street number changed to 668. Also Ronald Wilson Reagan had 6 letters in each of his 3 names, making 666 by concatenation.

Bel, signifying “lord” or “master”, is a title rather than a genuine name, applied to various gods in Babylonian religion. -Source

The axis coming from Babylon goes right through the Ishtar gate of H&H and continues across the street to Disney’s El Capitan theatre. El Capitan must therefore be Bel.

In fact the precise axis is centered on the star at the top of the marquee. That might explain why the ticket booth is at the extreme right edge of the building. You can see the Hollywood Masonic Temple next door, where Jimmy Kimmel Live is currently filmed.

Incidentally Michael Eisner has a star that just happens to be right in front of the Hollywood Masonic Temple. Eisner was the CEO of Disney for 21 years. Remember Disneyland’s Club 33?

Thank you to Boodabill who commented on the Magic of Holly Wood post that the structure on top of the El Capitan looks like an obelisk. There is a resemblance.

It was with all these things in mind that we left H&H and drove west down Santa Monica Blvd into the setting sun. There are signs along the way that identify Santa Monica Blvd as Historic Route 66 (most people in LA probably don’t know this).

Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

I didn’t realize it until arriving on site but the Santa Monica Pier is literally the terminus of Route 66. This sign is on the pier.

Route 66 was known as The Mother Road before the interstate highway system replaced it. Here is Blaze Starr, burlesque dancer from the 1940s, getting her kicks on route 66.

Linguistically Bel is a cognate of Ba’al. Baalbek was the cult center of Ba’al worship going back nine thousand years. The megaliths of Baalbek are some of the greatest mysteries on the planet. How did the ancients move 1200 ton stones when we can’t do it today?

There is also a ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. Another all-seeing-eye held up by compasses if you will, reminding me of the Millennium Wheel in London.

My friend Jan Thulstrup sent me a picture of a Highway 66 in northern Israel, which isn’t too far from Baalbek incidentally; Israel’s route 66 goes through Megiddo – better known under its Greek name of Armageddon.

There’s just something about 66 that we all subconsciously know spells trouble.
