Born in Time (Part One)
You're comin' thru to me in black and white
When we were made of dreams - Bob Dylan
You've seen the story of the presidential doodles. There are many odd
and revealing examples, such as GHW Bush's "any more dead ones?" (ABC
News says his sad and teary face "gives the note a bit of melancholy,
or maybe humor," appropriately ambiguous for a man of shimmering
surface and black depths), but the one perhaps receiving the most
notice hasn't even been reproduced online. It's a page from John F
Kennedy, on which he's written, repeatedly, "9/11," and underscored
the word "conspiracy" next to it.
Paul Joseph Watson wondered whether this was some kind of "inside
joke" or a "hat tip to the 9/11 truth movement" before concluding
"one thing's for sure - it's weird." I'd say rather that two things
are certain: it's both weird, and it's not.
ABC explains the numbers, without accounting for the word
"conspiracy," by saying that "It turns out that was the tally of a
committee vote, not a foreshadowing of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."
But that's a misapprehension of foreshadowing, which always carries
within it a duality, referencing both a prosaic explanation and a
supra-prosaic that is revealed only in hindsight. If this were, say,
a Richard Condon novel and not living history, and so foreshadowing
just a literary device, there would be no dispute that Kennedy's
doodle fit the definition. It's disputed now because people object to
the impression that we may be the characters instead of the authors
of our lives.
Kennedy's doodle didn't "predict" 9/11 any more than The Coup's cover
art or The Lone Gunman's pilot episode, but all three are suggestive
of a grander conspiracy - the grandest - that encompasses all of
human history. I'm talking about the conspiracy of consciousness.
That by encoding the narrative of history with artful gestures of
interpretation - the things that make us go hmmm - consciousness
conspires to bring us to comprehension.
Consider for a moment the familiar JFK and Abraham Lincoln
coincidences, how their stories seem to enfold, and unfold, one
another. Such details as Lincoln's election to congress in 1846,
JFK's exactly 100 years later, and each entering the presidency 14
years after that; Lincoln's having a secretary named Kennedy, and
Kennedy's a secretary Lincoln, and each being succeeded by a man
named Johnson; both were shot in the head on a Friday, Lincoln by a
man with three names born in 1839 who fled a theatre to a warehouse,
while Kennedy's alleged three-named gunman, born in 1939, fled a
warehouse to a theatre; "Kennedy" and "Lincoln" each contain seven
letters, and John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, 15 - you know
the list, and how it goes on.
Of course, a grab bag of coincidence a century apart should defy the
conventions of even the loosest conspiracy model. But in a
holographic model, things change. It is consciousness - not
individual consciousness, but the collective consciousness of all
life - that draws locality and temporality out of the wave pattern of
higher vibrations that form the holographic universe and constructs
the space and time setting for our life narrative. And consciousness
is a storyteller, employing literary devices such as foreshadowing as
well as metaphor in our waking curiosity and while we dream, while
some astral project and remote view, and as plant shamans, with heads
full of snakes, explore innerspace via such gateways as DMT and
ayahuasca.
JFK didn't "plan" 9/11, or have "inside info" as I've seen some
Randiesque skeptics sarcastically assert. But repeating patterns,
even across centuries or great distances, may still evidence a
conspiracy. But the better kind: one of undifferentiated
consciousness provoking us within the continuum towards greater
reading comprehension.
Perhaps to help it write a happier ending.
