异世浮生

Sonny boy’s music was mentioned and played in the movie - and that’s why I was invited to watch the movie for the symbolism analysis.

~~~~~~

Just finished watching Jacob’s ladder. Not so much ‘horror’ after they introduced the hallucinogens at the other half of the movie (as if try to make it seems more ‘logical’ to most audiences who cannot fathom the true meanings of the sceenplay writer) - I will make no comment on the ‘hallucinogens’ part - pointless in fact.

Symbolisms:

1. Orange sky with clouds, we saw helicopters crossing over river/underworld: Hermes: Jacob’s ladder, messengers between sky and earth

2. Scene of soldier dozed off: starting the ‘dreaming’

3. Woke up in a metro running train holding book Camus ‘stranger’ a separative third person perspective of self-viewing

4. Metro station’s name Bergen and its etymology: Bhergh: high; mountain; pyramid

(woman staring: eye; octopus tail: earth real; rat=Egyptian mongoose: Atum’s guardian/ Shu god; water or raindrops: Tefnet; Saw a light coming from train: Ra’s circle. That’s a pyramid from top to bottom and now it’s all the way going down)

5. Station poster: Ecstasy: Plato’s Karthasis insinuating the very start of journey of purgatory in bardo

6. The confusing switching of two lives, one with kids and another with Succubi Jezebel, as it always happens in stories of Bardo, THE Self trying to collecting self.

7. He saw demons tracing him, nurse’s horned head, etc that’s what the Tibetan bardo described as hell. The climax of it resulted a baptism by the ‘witches’. Making him realize gotta climb the ladder up-(looking for lawyers, talking with that chemist etc)

8. His name is Jacob Singer, singer (he is going to praise the god, so eventually he will “make it” ). His job is postman, same as Jez work in the post office both are hermes actually, messengers of the god.

9. Chiropractor Louis Denardo. De Nardo=De BernARDO. (Bardo), Louis here is /lu/ and /yi/ which I shared in several tweets basically it’s same race, descendant of enneads, the Cherubim. (Demons as well, even if appearing as angels)

10. His youngest son had an accident of Bike vs Car, wheels vs wheels. Cherubim ophanim seraphim are all ‘wheelers’ the race of wheel making. Had wars among themselves. Jacob in the passage had to remind self of loss of his son to be the strongest attachment of someone in his life who passed away, oftenly used as the ‘guide’ to lead them out of bardo (end of movie denoting that, with light, staircase- but those are disguises)

11. The pains he had inbetween two parts of life “down the hell” were as if real, once he made peace with the self, (had agreement with the Cherubim) The Self collects self, devil become the Angel in Bardo.

12. The scene of taking last taxi “home”, Sam open the door. Taxi driver name: Garzero, Gar is a town name at western Tibet. As well as see //garpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Gar_(God). Drivers in the movies are all captains of the cars/ships/wheels (same race). So like the “journey to the west” he reached the door of “home” and spoke with Sam the doorkeeper, a Janus type, janitor of the sundoor.- As I’m not very versed in the Bible and qu’ran, but generally speaking it could well be seen as such: after talking with Sam basically he’s now officially “dead” in the sense of experiencing that “ordeals/cleansing” from purgatory.

13. Did he really leave the hell? Bardo is a passage “down there” yet the scenery as if he finished the purgatory passage and made his way out. That’s very religious dogma there(all the -isms), spiritual pilgrimage of Brahma, accept we are sinners and we gotta go through judgement and final day etc (worst brain virus). It gives people a false idea of “light” at the end trying to mean the liberation, which it is not. It is of course not heaven at the last scene either, as Hollywood trying so hard to do the hell vs heaven dualistic moral and desire based judgement same old same old doctrines.

I take the screenplay writer must be very knowledgeable of the Tibetan Buddhism and Christianity. Didn’t focus much on the numeral links though (depends on the director’s knowledge of Gematria), all in all its a work that worthy copied and remake in Hollywood just so that ‘they’ could keep preaching their pyramidal scheme of enneads worshippings, as well as focusing on dualism’s extremities - the very reason of pains generator.

just found our Sam’s name as in Samkrama. Sam here has the value ‘completely’ or ‘absolutely’, full, all.
