Explaining Jupiter Ascending As things seem to be getting very serious in the world at the moment I want to go for a lighter subject. So I'm going to share and explain many of the things from this movie. I very much enjoyed it as it does contain a lot of references to ideas I have been studying since my early teens/the 1990's. That said the take on these are very warped but I'll get to that in the conclusion. One of the things I noticed about this movie is hat people noticed that there were references to ideas that were not truly 'main stream' or are 'esoteric' in nature. Too often this was interpreted as being satanic or against Christianity which is not fair. Most of the interpretations on Youtube are very fear based and negative...or just really weak ignorant metaphysical people frothing over the movie like it was some sort of spiritual revelation which it was not even slightly even though I think that's what the Wachowskis were going for in an attempt to make another lucrative franchise. The Wachowskis and The Matrix The Wachowskis, weird as they are appear to have their finger on the non-Christian spiritual movements. This is not something anyone really studies that I can tell, in it's entirety, but there tend to be schools of thinking. We saw the Wachowskis waxing metaphysical/occult in the Matrix. I could probably devote an entire blog to examining where they pulled some specific ideas from but I really only like the first movie. So, I'm just going to do this freestyle with what I remember off the top of my head... Neo, following the white rabbit in the beginning (Alice in Wonderland reference) and choosing between the two pills is what really has taken off as metaphor to look beyond the normative paradigm we are taught through religion, school and society. Numerous 'paranormal researchers' or programs will talk about following rabbits down their holes...leading to a new way of thinking or a form of 'awakening' The Matrix is a interesting metaphorical way to interpret Gnostic teachings. In the school of the Gnostic teachings the world is controlled by a demi-urge that is not the true God but has created an artificial reality that all souls are stuck within. There were also hints at the Free Masons Great Architect in, I believe the final movie, where a man in white is called the Architect is apparently the computer program that runs the simulation...the idea of "god the father'' could be placed on him. The Oracle on the other hand is a Mother Goddess type figure working to free human beings and we could probably call her by another name- Sophia. While the Matrix had overtones that were very subtle in the first movie it has become a sensational way of opening people to thinking outside the box. However, it encourages the very mechanical scientific way of fear based thinking that really captures the essence of what mankind has been exploring in the last one hundred years with industrialization. Keep in mind also the Matrix was actually based on a short story written by Sophia Stewart who has a lawsuit against the Wachowski twins for plagiarism. There is some debate if she won the lawsuit or if the lawsuit is still pending. So, these writer director twins like to re-appropriate other peoples ideas which is what Jupiter Ascending really is... Jupiter Ascending This movie really wasn't received well but that's probably because of the misrepresented in your face spiritual ideas that they included. The mishmash of different ideas were so blatant and confusing, varied and overwhelming, that it really was too much. Where the Matrix was subtle...Jupiter Ascending has very obvious metaphysical/spiritual references. I would say it's a homage to the Alternative Spiritual Movement (some would call it New Age). Now, when I first watched this I knew there were a ton of symbolism. I mean so much so that I was like, wow, someone who knows this must break it down in a meaningful way. Yet, when googling for this I couldn't find it anywhere and the few Youtube videos it brought up were just plain silly or a bunch of people trying to say it was Satanic (because anything Esoteric is Satanic to these negative old school spiritual thinkers). So, I'm going to break down the symbolism and source for the different references in the movie. Names Jupiter Ascending- This is actually a reference to Rudolf Steiner. He says that the Earth is going to go into a new incarnation called Jupiter that coincides with the Fifth Root Race and the 'New Age Philosophy'. This happens at the same time that the fifth root race starts. So, the name of this movie is a nod to the New Age. Jupiter- The main character of the movie. Note that in mythology Jupiter is usually depicted as male and involves lightening. The God's Thor, Zeus, Jove, Diespeter or Tinia. However, as I mentioned above her name was mostly chosen because of the reference to the above. Kalique- Her name means indulgences in extremes such as fortune, health and spirituality. I believe, given that she has two brothers that she also represents the Annunaki Ishtar/Inanna. Balem- This probably represents the god Baal. Interestingly there is the name Balaam which means "The Ancient of the People" or "Destruction of the People" Probably represents Enki in the Annunaki saga. Titus- Most obviously after the emperor Titus. He even has a Roman toga outfit at one point. The name means "Titan or of the Giants." Probably represents Enlil of the Annunaki saga. Caine Wise- A reference to Cain in the bible perhaps. Also he's a wolf so probably a reference to the Dog Star Sirius. Stinger Apini- Apparently just refers to the fact that he's a bee hybrid. Apini is the official name of honey bees. Ibis- One of the bounty hunters searching for Jupiter at the start of the movie. This is reference to the Egyptian Ibis bird that was symbolically important to them. I've heard that it is seen as the herald of the flood and that since it stands on one foot it has one foot in this world and one foot in the next. Abrasax- This is the last name of the three, Kalique, Balema and Titus. It is an Gnostic word used for Great Archon. Servants of the Demiurge that stands in the way between mankind and the true god. Different 'Species' Hybrids- Humans genetically spliced with animals. This is a combination of two ideas. First there are animal hybrids depicted in Egyptian texts and some believe that when spirit first forced it into matter we had half human half animal bodies (another take is that the people of Atlantis were advanced enough to start experimenting with gene splicing). The second is the human/alien hybrid theory of the Alien Abduction phenomenon. The idea in Jupiter Ascending seems to reflect the former more than then the later. Cyborgs- We're all familiar with the idea of blending humans with machine. Trans-humanism is an actual group of people that believe that we will use technology to improve ourselves psychologically, intellectually and physically. (I'm not a fan). A Reptillian- This is directly from David Ickes ideas about Reptillians. I really don't have to say much more. I'll include his video at the end of this about he says that Truth is being used in fiction. The one in the movie is a thug for the Balem Abraxas. The Keepers- Obviously a take on the Gray Aliens. They are the ones that repair buildings, abduct people, and wipe peoples memories. Here they are just cronies that the Abraxas family use to keep the world from knowing that there are more planets out there anything "unworldly" is going on. They "Keep" the human beings from knowing that there is anything beyond their world. Other Things To Mention Jupiter and the matron of the Abraxas- Has a definite theme of the Goddess. The Matron of the Abraxas was obviously the 'goddess in heaven' whereas Jupiter is the incarnation of that heavenly Goddess that saves Earth. Elephant on the Ship- There is an Elephant Hybrid on the ship that Jupiter is carried on by the bureaucratic part of the universe. That pilot's name is Ganesha. Ganesha is a Hindu god known as the Lord of Success and one of the most worshiped deities in that religion. Sargon- This was the name that is used for the dinosaurs when Stinger is explaining Earths true history of being "seeded." Interestingly, it is the name of an Akkadian king that conquered the Sumerian city states (yes, the ones who wrote about the Annunkai). Orous- A planet that is over developed and is the home of the Aegis Command. Probably a play on the name Horus, a very important God of the Egyptians. He was the God of the Sky and son of Osiris who slew Set. Sky Jackers- A take on Angels they have bioengineered wings and they are seen as soldiers. Waking up at 4:45am- This happens in scene after scene in the first sequence of the film. This might be a nod to the 5th world, 5th root race, 5th Epoch etc. A nod towards the notion of waking up to this "new age." Jupiter's Seal of Royalty- Looks very much like the procession of equinoxes (and like the start of the HBO series Game of Thrones which also seems to be based on the procession of the Equinoxes). Zechariah Stitchin suggests that with the change of our position in the Zodiacal Cosmology (from Pisces to Aquarius) that a new Annunaki 'God' will rule over us so this is probably a nod to this idea and again tying Jupiter to the change of the New Age. (While in Game of Thrones it might be that the 'Gods' are still fighting to decide who will be the one to be in charge.) Aegis- The name of the ship of Aegis Command. The definition is, "The protection, backing or support of a particular person or organization." But the true source of this word is the Goatskin Shield that the Greek God's Zeus or Athena carried. DNA: There has been much to do about DNA in the metaphysical circles. Rumors that we were engineered by aliens and that this has led to our DNA having to be unlocked. In this movie DNA is considered sacred. Humans were engineered- Only mentioned briefly it is a problem for the plot. At one point one of the characters, Stinger I think, says that human DNA was spliced with a native species on the planet. Zechariah Stitchin clearly states this idea and it is reiterated in a very eloquent presentation by Lloyd Pye. However, in the movie if this is true how does Jupiter have the exact same DNA as the Matron/Queen of the Abrasax family? So clearly a plot hole but kudos for them trying to introduce the idea..sadly the Alien movie Prometheus did a far better job (but still very negative point of view). Warped View Of Spiritual Concepts Watching this movie specifically for this blog really made these concepts stand out. I will be exploring these topics as I begin writing blogs about "The Shift" lets take at what they meant in the movie. Entitled: Royalty. These are the people who have titles to parts of the universe. (Funny that entitlement and the problem with the entitled college kids is an emerging area of concern). Ascension- The process through which people receive their royal titles. This could be kind of true as our souls are considered Royalty according to some sources and it kind of signifies taking on the responsibility of being a little mini version of God/All That Is/The Great Spirit. The Harvest- We have all heard of the Christian Harvest, the Harvest Music Festival is named after it. This is where Christ will gather the people who are his and leave those who are not saved to burn in the lake of fire with Satan. Here the take is that the harvest is where people are turned into a blue crystalline form. Re-occurrence- A form of reincarnation that is based totally on DNA sequence. If the exact same DNA sequence reappears it's called a re-occurrence and is similar to reincarnation. The Universe is God- This is hinted at in the ending credit scene where two planets are shown connected by a energetic etheral bridge. As the camera zooms out we see many more connected to the first two and it becomes a ladder representing DNA. Then as the camera continues to zoom out we see many more ladders of DNA suggesting that God's DNA is the universe. Conclusion Jupiter Ascending mixes a lot of the non-traditional spiritual movement from the UFO culture to Hindu Gods to Gnosticism. The basic plot is a Cinderella story...and to appreciate our own personal role in life. Even if we clean toilets for our living we can do so with a great deal of love and appreciation for the beautiful gift that is life on this beautiful planet. Jupiter is royalty but she chooses to clean toilets happily by the end of the movie. There is also a more subtle message. That message is that through claiming our own sovereignty we will defeat false gods such as the Archons/Annunaki/Abrasax, saving our world and ushering in a new world. However, that world won't look different from our current one other than we will know our true royal heritage in the universe. Even more subtle and kind of confirmed by the fact that this movie was not well received is that a lot of the information in it is Esoteric, that is, that the origin of the ideas are only known by a few. While this information has become more mainstream since the 1990's and more prevalent than it has ever been before there remains only a small amount of people interested in studying it. So the knowledge, the imagery, the references in this movie are only obvious to "students of the mysteries" or "seekers of Truth" even if they are not a part of any group. I also want to say that this movie is a totally pessimistic point of view of spiritual concepts. In fact, I would say that it is the interpretation of such esoteric ideas through a materialistic point of view that also led to the movie not being as successful as the Matrix. While it was a fascinating homage to the New Age and the very faucets of that idea...it lacked spirituality and was 100% materialistic. The idea that Extra Terrestrials are a corporation is jarring and goes against my instincts. The idea that we are just cogs in a very large cosmic corporation with all of the bureaucracy and failings of our current human systems is disheartening. The idea of Ascension being worse than our DMV is just...well, barf worthy. So while the story itself, the underlying meaning of it that the Wachowskis were probably aiming for is entertaining for me...it is also very sad. I'm very happy to see the concepts on the big screen but it can be very offensive to the people who have some knowledge of the Metaphysical/New Age/Alternative Spirituality realm and traditional Christians (who must have experienced quite the cognitive dissonance watching this one and the hard core ones naturally interpreted the subtle references they did not understand as Evil). The movie doesn't hit the mark on teaching people something new or expanding their consciousness in anyway Spiritually which is the entire purpose of the "New Age". What humanity is leaving based their fear based paradigm and reawakening to the idea that we are infinite spiritual beings having a human experience. So, it simply didn't resonate with people. Without the soul aspect the concepts in this movie become very heartless. The majority of the movie is very grounded in our material point of view and they completely miss the heart of this transition into a new paradigm that the Ascension of Jupiter is supposed to represent in Rudolf Steiner's work. Certainly, to really kick us into this new paradigm encountering scientific evidence in our current time frame of Alien Contact will change our way of thinking. Suddenly, the idea of being alone and the old Christian world view will really look wrong (even the Catholic Church seems to be preparing themselves for this moment in history) and that is a key part to Jupiter Ascending that I find important. To me it is a beautiful movie, it is a fun ride, but ultimately shows how out of touch with spirituality, how materialistic and confused the Wachowskis really are when it comes to these subjects. To explain that Aliens engineered us, that they are minor Gods, but not include a bigger more powerful Source as the true origin of our souls is neglectful. Their point of view is explained when we consider that they are probably Gnostic and believe that the world is controlled by a demiurge that has cut us off from the 'Source' or 'All That Is' or the 'True God.' Perhaps, through my writing you will see where this concept came from and why, spiritually, it can be a dangerous misconception. I do give them credit for challenging main stream points of view, for introducing the idea that we are an engineered species on a much larger audience than any Lloyd Pye, Zechriah Stitchin or even David Icke might manage. For this I have applaud the W. Twins for the attempt.
