KUBRICK, FOWLER AND THE WATCHERS
The drama of evolution is played out in the book of Genesis, as well as in Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. And the drama of synchronicity is played out seemingly everywhere, and things can end up getting intertwined in mysterious ways.
"The Dawn of Man"
Kubrick's film begins with the Dawn of Man, where proto-humans encounter a mysterious alien force that spawns an evolutionary leap. The middle part of the film involves modern man as he re-encounters this same mysterious force.
"Fetus / Star child / gray alien"
All this reaches a climax with an apotheosis where a human fetus is the culmination of our next evolutionary change. WE SEE THREE DISTINCT EVOLUTIONARY STAGES IN 2001. APES, HUMANS AND AN ALIEN LOOKING FETUS.
These three stages show up elsewhere too, they are in the UFO abduction literature.
Below is an excerpt from Raymond Fowler's 1991 book, "THE WATCHERS":
Fowler goes on to point out that the human fetus can look eerily like a prototypical gray alien. Big head, big prominent eyes and a spindly body. (Ray isn't the only one to notice this!)
"A human fetus as seen in a sonogram, looking a lot like the cover of Communion giving us the finger."
Strangely, the fetus of a chimpanzee looks very human. The Chimpanzee is our closest genetic cousin, our genetics are so similar (about 95% the same) that one has to ask, WHY AREN'T WE CHIMPANZEES? Perhaps we are, at least we are their fetuses.
In his book "THE WATCHERS", Raymond Fowler speculates about this odd likeness in the fetuses in us and in chimpanzees, and an interpretation of this curious procession. I've included a series of pages from this book (linked HERE and below), and this should be required reading to anyone who wants to dig a little bit deeper into this stuff.
ARE MODERN HUMANS SOME SORT OF GENETIC ALTERATION USING A CHIMPANZEE FETUS? IF WE GO ONE STEP FURTHER, ARE THE GRAY ALIENS A GENETIC ALTERATION USING THE HUMAN FETUS?Chimpanzees are born with smaller heads than us humans, and they don't experience the same sort of pain we do during the birth process. It's our large heads (and larger brains) that separate us from the chimpanzee.
Does the bible give us a clue to this species tinkering?
In fact it does, when God kicks Adam and Eve out of The Garden, he bestowed only two punishments, we would feel shame (and we would then want clothes) and from this point on we would experience painful child birth.
Were Adam and Eve happy Chimpanzees living lives of bliss in The Garden? And who was this "God" that changed us? Were we genetically altered so that now we're burdened with bigger heads?
"a prototypical gray alien"
The gray alien seems incapable of child bearing in the way we presently understand. Their huge heads and their tiny hips would make this all but impossible unless they're up to something unfamiliar, like employing some sort of artificial womb. This is something that is alarmingly common in UFO abduction reports; we hear repeating stories of tanks filled with fetuses and some sort of liquid, and often we hear about rooms filled with lots of these tanks. What is happening? Is there really some sort of breeding program where humans are getting up-graded?
Following this line of speculation, we must scrutinize these three distinct phases of evolution: CHIMPANZEES, MODERN HUMANS AND THE GRAY ALIEN. The narrative of 2001 mimics the conjecture that Raymond Fowler puts forth in "The Watchers".
When Betty Andeasson Luca asked her little gray abductors who they were, they replied, "The Watchers".
Both Betty Andeasson Luca and Ray Fowler are devout Christians, so I feel it's appropriate to quote the Bible again.
This sounds suspiciously like the opening lines from a modern day UFO abduction report.
"Adding to the overall strangeness, the author and researcher Raymond Fowler came out as an alien abductee himself". He shared his own direct experiences in a 2002 book titled UFO TESTAMENT: ANATOMY OF AN ABDUCTEE. While this might seem like a bizarre claim coming from a respected UFO researcher, it is instead very common. I have come to the point where I suspect that most researchers in this field have had some sort of contact experience, either remembered or suppressed.
His most recent book is about being plagued by synchronicities and their odd intertwining with the UFO phenomenon (a subject near and dear to my heart), this 2004 book is titled SYNCHROFILE.
JACK KIRBY AND THE WATCHER
The Book of Enoch uses "The Watchers" as a way to describe the fallen angels. But they show up in comic books too.
"God-like alien with a big bald head on the moon"
Jack Kirby and Stan Lee created a character called "THE WATCHER" to describe a race of God-like aliens, and he is drawn with a huge bald head and vague facial features. He looks suspiciously like a fetus, or the prototypical gray alien.
"Genetically enhanced apes, drama on the moon, "space "travel in weird glowing orbs. "
"Does this seems familiar?"
The mystical Watcher named Uatu reveals himself to the Fantastic Four and makes them battle the Red Ghost (an evil Russian) and his Super-apes for control of the Moon. Again, this mimics some of the narrative elements in Kubrick's 2001.
Later, Jack Kirby himself took on 2001 in a 70's comic book series. His rendering of the "Star Child" fetus looks suspiciously like his earlier God-like character, "Uatu "from" THE WATCHERS".
Christopher Knowles has written extensively at THE SECRET SUN about how Jack Kirby was tapping into something profoundly mysterious. (and more HERE)
THE SIXTH FINGER
This story of The Watcher hit the comic book racks in April of 1963. The same year as The Outer Limits episode THE SIXTH FINGER. This story is also obsessed with the dilemma of human evolution. We again see the three distinct evolutionary stages starting with apes, moving to modern man and culminating with a mystical being with an over-sized bald head.
Again, Christopher Knowles has written extensively on THE MYTHIC POWER OF THE OUTER LIMITS, and it's overtly prophetic plot points describing the alien abduction lore.
"THE SIXTH FINGER - the complete episode from 1963"
In this mythic Outer Limits episode, young Gwyllm Griffiths, played by David McCallum, jumps at the chance to be the first human subject to step into a secret machine, anything to escape the drudgery of life in a Welsh mining town. The experiment succeeds and Gwyllm is "evolved" into the future. He emerges from a chamber with a "much larger head" and a sixth finger on each hand. He has progressed to a human future of Godlike powers.
"Scientifically enhanced evolution allows "chimpanzees to do the office work"
"Modern man"
"Science controls evolution (I LOVE this image)"
"God-like, alien-like, big-headed and bald."
THE SIXTH FINGER resonates the the same ape/human/God triad as 2001.
PLANET OF THE APES
2001 isn't the only movie from 1968 with apes and astronauts. Another masterpiece of cinema premiered that same year, PLANET OF THE APES.
"Taylor emerges from the sea"
Charlton Heston plays astronaut Taylor, a parallel to Keir Dullea's astronaut from 2001, Dr. David Bowman. Both transcend time and arrive at a mysterious place. The script was written by Rod Serling, no stranger to the mythic and metaphoric.
This movie is steeped in secrets about the evolution of apes and humans. Dr. Zaius (Zeus?) is the rule-maker in this world, and he is also the caretaker of the hidden knowledge about the evolutionary history of his planet. He plays the role of Heywood Floyd from 2001, both are the keeper of secrets and at the heart of a grand cover-up.
"Taylor lies in his glass chamber, arms crossed like an entombed Pharaoh."
"Proof that a inverted evolution took place, in three distinct layers."
We see three distinct evolutionary phases in PLANET OF THE APES, they are most clearly seen in the archeological dig inside a cave. There are "THREE DISTINCT LAYERS", with our present day modern man at the lowest level. This film is upside down compared to 2001.
When Taylor meets with Dr. Zaius in his chambers he asks, "How in Hell did this upside-down civilization get started?"
Zaius replies, "You may call it upside-down, because you occupy it's lowest level!"
PLANET OF THE APES begins with space travel through a psychedelic star gate, and 2001 ends with a similar transition. The narrative path is upside-down compared to it's sister movie.
"Dr. Zaius and the cursed doll."
At the lowest level in the dig site, Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) has un-earthed an ancient human baby doll. This doll resonates the big headed alien/fetus meme, complete with gray skin. This doll is the key to unraveling the cover-up held in place by Dr. Zaius.
At one point the chimpanzee scientist Zera (Kim Hunter) shouts at Dr. Zaius, "The proof, the doll!"
The film culminates with Taylor riding off to find "his destiny," to quote Dr. Zaius. This transformative destiny involves meeting Isis in the form of the Statue of Liberty.
GABRIELLE GIFFORDS
Now here is where things get really weird.
When Jared Lee Loughner shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, one of the first Doctors arrive on the scene was DR. DAVE BOWMAN. He attended a wounded 9-year old girl "who just happened to be born on September 11th, 2001". She died that day, and her name was Christina-TAYLOR Greene.
Charlton Heston was an astronaut named TAYLOR in PLANET OF THE APES, and Keir Dullea portrays astronaut DR. DAVE BOWMAN, who returns to earth at the end of 2001 as the fetus like star child. To make things even stranger, "Gabrielle Giffords is married to an astronaut".
SYNCHRO-ODDITIES
I have been trying to make synchro-connections with two movies, a TV show, a comic book, a UFO abduction account and a political assassination attempt. In doing so, it seems like attempting to rein this stuff in with any kind of linear logic is useless. So I'm just gunna list some odd interrelations (in no particular order) with bulleted points.
~ Christina-Taylor Greene, the girl that died at the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, has a the name CHRIST as the first 6 letters of her name. GREENE is the last 6 letters, and green is the color of Osiris the Egyptian god who represents death and rebirth. Christ certainly represents the same thing. TAYLOR from PLANET OF THE APES dies and is reborn using a glass chamber and a worm hole. Taylor is a 6 letter word.
~ PLANET OF THE APES premiered on April 3rd, 1968. And 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY premiered "just 3 days later" on April 6th, 1968. Christ was dead for "three days" before his resurrection,
~ PLANET OF THE APES begins with a psychedelic star gate/worm hole sequence, and 2001 ends with something very similar.
"Lake Powell at the end of the worm hole."
"Lake Powell at the end of the worm hole."
~ Lake Powell in Utah (Uatu?) is featured in both PLANET OF THE APES and 2001. In each of these movies it appears as the culmination of the trippy star gate voyage through space.
~ Lake Powell was used as a location in 1965 passion play, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. Charlton Heston plays John the Baptist and baptizes Jesus in these same waters. Roddy McDowell plays Mathew and David McCallum plays Judas Iscariot!
"Charlton Heston is back in Lake Powell, wearing firs instead of a space suit."
~ 2001, PLANET OF THE APES and "The Watchers" are each, at their heart, Ancient Astronaut stories (and on some level, so is THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD).
~ Charlton Heston also played Moses, where he brings down tablets from God to usher in a new-age. A tablet-like monolith appears in 2001 ("from God?"), again to usher in a new-age.
~ In 1995 there was an odd bit of black color: #0000ee;">"Roddy McDowell as Cornelius"
~ Roddy McDowell read the audio-book for Whitley Strieber's 1987 best-seller Communion. Let me add that listening to this reading of Strieber's first person narrative is absolutely wonderful. In essence, "Roddy McDowell is playing the role of Whitley Strieber!"
"Charlton Heston and Kim Hunter re-enact the first steps of a hybridization process"
~ Kim Hunter (Zera in PLANET OF THE APES) also played the role of an alien abductee in an episode of The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. The set of plot points closely matches many of the elements of the typical UFO abduction account (including mind control, telepathy and implants). The original air-date was November 25, 1974, well before the proliferation in the media of abduction accounts.
"Archangel Gabriel and The Blessed Virgin Mary"
~ It is the Archangel Gabriel that appears to Mary. He tells her: "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb..." (Luke 1:31) This immaculate conception story sounds curiously similar to some of the accounts shared by women who claim alien abduction experiences; these accounts are full of mysterious pregnancies. Often when the woman is NOT sexually active. This certainly parrallels The Blessed Virgin.
~ Gabriel is the only Archangel depicted as female in art and literature.
~ The name Gabriel certainly parallels Gabrielle. Also, some New Age exponents portray Archangel Gabriel as female.
~ There was "another" Gabriel involved in the shooting in Tucson. Gabriel "Gabe" Zimmerman, age 30, was a member of Congresswoman Giffords' staff and was killed that afternoon.
~ The name Gabrielle Giffords resonates Gwyllm Griffiths. Gwyllm is the evolutionarily transformed bald being in THE SIXTH FINGER.
~ Gabrielle Giffords miraculously survives being shot in the head, and ends up bald, like her astronaut husband.
~ Giffords' astronaut husband (Mark Kelly) has an identical twin brother (Scott Kelly), "who is also an astronaut!" Scott Kelly was a pilot for space shuttle "DISCOVERY", and that's the name of Dr. Dave Bowman's spaceship. Scott Kelly was in space on board the "Discovery" during the shooting, and offered a moment of silence on 1-11-11. (more from Loren Coleman)
"Issue dated Feb. 21, 1964"
~ The twin astronauts were born on Feb. 21st 1964. Here is the LIFE magazine cover "from that very day" showing Lee Harvey Oswald. Many researchers of the JFK assassination claim that this photo is faked. Also, Oswald had a double (or "TWIN") impersonating him in the lead up to that fateful day in Dallas. It is now in the public record that LIFE magazine had well established ties to the CIA. Oswald shares the name LEE with Jared LEE Lougner. Both names have 15 letters.
~ I have to assume that the NASA astronaut corps are briefed about the reality of the UFO phenomenon. It sure seems like they would be trained in advance that they "might" see something odd out there. The picture that gets painted is that these folks are privy to some seriously insider info about UFOs.
CRYOGENIC TUBES
~ PLANET OF THE APES and 2001 both feature cryogenic suspended animation chambers, and these are seen as death chambers in both movies. Glass chambers are also pivotal to THE SIXTH FINGER and to Ray Fowler's "The Watchers".
"Evolution in a glass chamber"
~ THE SIXTH FINGER starts with an ape who has made an evolutionary leap (using a glass chamber) and ends with a modern human making a further evolutionary leap and emerging as a proto-God with an oversized bald head.
~ The imagery of the suspended animation glass sarcophagus shows up a lot in the UFO abduction lore. ("see the drawing by an abductee above") Some researchers conclude that there is an ongoing genetic project to create geneticly enhanced alien/human hybrids using advanced technologies.
~ An abductee tells of seeing this clone nursery ("see above illustration") and it depicts alien/human hybrid fetuses floating in glass tubes. The color of the fluid in these tubes is consistantly reported as blue. When Taylor enters his glass chamber in the first minutes of PLANET OF THE APES, the image fades to blue and then there is a star-gate sequence.
~ The illustration below was drawn by Betty Andeasson Luca and it depicts a series of glass chambers, and they show their own evolutionary scheme. "Even Jesus is included!"
Illustration (c) Betty Andreasson Luca.
~ In the pulp science fiction illustrations and magazine covers of a bygone era, the image of the glass tube is a repeating image, albeit for a tawdry psycho-sexual obsession. Lot of images HERE. This rather comical pattern was noted by the late great Mac Tonnies.
"Naughty thoughts played out in a glass "sarcophagus"
THE ECHO CHAMBER
Why do these resonant parallels emerge out of the ether? Is reality a sort of echo chamber where ideas and memes bounce off each-other in a way that forces them to emerge in such a weird synchronistic manner?
I suspect strongly that there is something more at play with the horrendous tragedy surrounding Gabrielle Giffords. Why are there such strange reverberating plot elements to this story? It forces me to think that "there simply must be a reason behind it all". What that might be, I have no idea. I am left to wonder if powerful human events simply create their own synchronous magic?
All that said, my only rule for deciphering synchronicities is to "pay attention".
Keir Dullea, gone tomorrow.

Watchers "TEXT ADDED FEB. 9TH 2013
This post has had a life of it's own. It has generated a series of 1234 synchronicities. I've listed a bunch of 'em at this follow-up post.
