TRIDENTS Win Under Protest

Is it any wonder...?



This past Saturday, The Barbados TRIDENTS of the Caribbean Premier League of Cricket won the  Championship over the Guyana Amazon Warriors. The upstart TRIDENTS knocked off favorites Jamaica Tallawahs to enter the finals (the Tridents catapulted from fourth place into first to earn a bye through to the tournament final based on having the best net run rate), and the team from Guyana suffered it's second consecutive loss in the Championship game.

The Amazon Warriors are now protesting the outcome however. When a rain delay was announced (via Public Address, Social Media, and on the Television Broadcast), the TRIDENTS held a slight lead...apparently officials on the field had other plans, called the game, and award the victory and the Championship outright to Barbados.

The Divine Comedy?

8/21/2014 **UPDATE**
The owner's of the Neptune statue have increased their original reward of $1,000 from several weeks ago to $3,000 for return of the stolen TRIDENT. Police also announced that a note was left at the scene described as "taunting" and signed by Zeus.



It seems our watery TRIDENT is not only destructive but appears to have a sense of humor possibly? As the three-pronged symbol of Neptune/Poseidon is playing a bit of hide-and-seek around the globe. Loren Coleman was quick to hunt down news of the discovery of an ancient TRIDENT long hidden in India. And then, just as quickly, one goes missing in Florida (for the THIRD time, mind you). The TRIDENT was stolen from the home known as "Paradiso"(The THIRD, and final part of Dante's Divine Comedy)



As we know, Earthquakes are associated with Neptune/Poseidon and the quake in China over the weekend serves as a horrible reminder.


The "missing" TRIDENT in Florida is being chalked up to a college prank...with this official statement released by police, "Many college fraternities utilize the trident to symbolize their connection and visual association with Greek mythology."

Ah yes, PSI...the 23rd letter of the Greek alphabet





Back in late April of this year, SynchroMiss noticed this deep connection and posted an article entitled "NEIGHbors Movie Decoded" (check it out by clicking the link).

World TRIDENT Center Revisited

The new logo for the World Trade Center site was unveiled last Wednesday (August 13th, 2014). The logo has been through several incarnations, and the final product was created by the Landor Associates, the people that brought us the very cleaver FedEX arrow design.






The logo has 5 Points of design that pay TRIbute to 9/11 and the destroyed site. 

1) The logo DOUBLES as a TRIDENT to represent the steel columns at the base of the original building.

Please see my post here dated Monday, December 15th 2008 entitled "WTC: World TRIDENT Center" for more on this.

Rescued WTC DOUBLE TRIDENTS now reside inside the 9/11 Memorial. "33" A nod to our Masonic heritage?

2) The logo also DOUBLES as a "W" which is said to stand for World Trade Center as well as Westfield World Trade shopping center, set to open in 2015. (I would also suggest that the letter "W" itself can be seen as a TRIDENT...and a likely TRIbute to then President George W Bush, who I feel was complicit in the acts of 9/11/2001)

3) The two negative parallel spaces on top are supposed to evoke the "TRIbute in Light"



4) The bottom two columns are supposed to evoke the 9/11 Memorial's reflecting pools (As Above, So Below...MIRRORS & DOUBLES)





5) And finally the top three bars of the TRIDENT are sloped at a very specific 17.76 degrees. This is intended to MIRROR the approx. height of the original TWIN Towers. And perhaps more appropriately the year 1776.

Or ends...

The Cult of Poseidon



The largest known TRIDENT in the world (14ft and 200 lbs) is currently on display for the first time in 30 years. As part of the ongoing exhibit, Poseidon and the Sea: Myth, Cult and Daily Life at the Tampa Museum of Art. The TRIDENT is on loan from the J.P. Getty Museum in Los Angeles, CA.

Of the 130 items on display, there is also a 5ft. tall statue of Poseidon, which is considered the biggest and most well preserved of it's kind in the United States. It is part of the permanent collection of the Tampa Museum of Art.



TWILIGHT Kingdom



On again, off again vocalist for Dead Can Dance,  Lisa Gerrard released her newest solo effort on August 11th, 2014 entitled TWILIGHT Kingdom. The collection of new songs has an undeniable "watery" theme...if you are unfamiliar with Mrs. Gerrard, her voice and physical presence is more angelic and unworldly, which is why I refer to her as a "vocalist" rather than a "singer". Lyrically she speaks in tongues, and I have always seen her music as a requiem for the particular time in which we live.

Obviously, I was struck by her use of TWILIGHT Kingdom as the title, as it so closely MIRRORS James Shelby Downard and Loren Coleman's use of TWILIGHT Language in the research of all things synchronistic. Imagine my total lack of of surprise when track listings like NEPTUNE and The Seven Seas appear on the newly released "album.

     

The full "album" can be listened to above with tracks like Adrift, NEPTUNE, and The Seven Seas.

Meager beginnings from the Goth-ish early works of Dead Can Dance, to the bands later ultra complex spiritual works, Lisa's own recordings and collaborations have served as theme songs to major motion pictures, and included on soundtracks of some very interesting titles: "Black Hawk Down", "The Gladiator", "Whalerider", "King Arthur", The Priest", and "Man of Steel" to name just a few.

Least we forget, it was Mr. Downard's "King-Kill/33" that contains much of the TRIDENT symbolism we seem to have already taken for granted today.We are most certainly living in a TWILIGHT Kingdom Mrs. Gerrard...

Water, Water Every Where...

..."Nor Any Drop to Drink"

from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's classic lyrical poem, The Rime of the Ancient MARINER.

 Statue of The Ancient MARINER at Watchet Harbour, Somerset.

The towns of New London and WATERford, Connecticut are in danger of losing their WATER from anywhere between several days to up to a week it was announced earlier today.

According to reports, "New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio declared a state of emergency this morning because of the water problems and the public utilities director issued a mandatory water restriction for New London and Waterford, which applies to all nonessential water use."

the official statement goes on to state that, "When the leak was detected, the city was losing water at a rate of 10 million gallons per day, or 8,000 gallons a minute.To put it in perspective, Finizio said the supply to the city of New London is 7 million gallons of water a day, and he said people needed to be prepared for the worst-case scenario of a widespread and long-lasting disruption to the water supply."


The New London and WATERford crisis is in no way connected to the recent water outages in Detroit, which stem from financially strapped residents being unable to keep up with or flat out pay their water bills in some cases.


 However, it is becoming increasing alarming to me how unstable this most precious of human commodities has become. In an article dated July 27th, 2014, the former CEO of Nestle states that "In his view, citizens don’t have an automatic right to more than the water they require for mere “survival”, unless they can afford to pay for it. For context, the World Health Organization sets such “survival” consumption levels at a minimum of 20 liters a day for basic hygiene and food hygiene – higher, if you add laundry and bathing. If you’re reading this in the United States, the odds are that flushing your toilet consumes 50 liters of water a day."


...the metaphorical Albatross around the proverbial neck. (see Robin Williams).
