TOE: references in pop culture - 04-13-2007, 03:13 AM

The story of everything is the best story of all time. It has romance, mystery, adventure, and action. Even better than that, it tells timeless themes, cosmic ironies, and prophecies of great change.

This story has been prophecised and predicted for so long it's not even funny. But have you seen the references to it in pop culture today?

Here everybody can point out there favorite pop culture references and presages to the theory of everything. I will start us off with two

Star Wars
Part of the reason the original Star Wars was such a hit was because it spoke of timeless themes, the same type of timeless themes recently brought to light by the theory of everything.

For example, Star Wars is about the struggle between good and evil. Right now our world is in the same struggle. The presence of the evil empire can be seen all around us and it keeps us in an illusory world. Mainly it is the US government. There are freedom fighters however, who are destined to rise up and stop the cycle of tyranny and bring peace and common understanding to all mankind. Many prophecies exist which predict this coming redemption, and it's main figurehead, the "savior." The savior is Luke skywalker who is the chosen one to enact the great change. I see the Jedi Knights as scientists who are like magicians. They study the TOE and are able to gain mind over matter and other clairvoyant type abilities.

"The Force" is the same thing as the undivided field. The force has a postive and a negative component, like 1/0 that is the unification of positive and negative infinity. Everything is made out of north and south magnetic forces at the most fundamental level, hence the dark and the light side of the force.

Sublime
Sublime is a really great band and some of their lyrics refer to the theory of everything I believe. For example, in the song "Santeria" Bradley Knowell sings

"What I really want to know. What I really want to say, is undefined. But it's love that I live."

Bradley is saying that he cannot find the words to describe the greatest truth, what he really wants to say, but he concedes that it's love that he lives. This is similar to how the number with the greatest definition is such a beautiful and amazing thing that we leave it undefined. But, if we were to give it a definition, it would simply be "love"

In another one of their songs Sublime references a line from the Bible that says

"The stone that the builder refused, shall be the head cornerstone"

this seems to be a reference to the number 1/0, the one that the "mathematicians refused," that shall be the head cornerstone

Re: TOE: references in pop culture - 04-24-2007, 04:47 PM

In light of the recent tragedy at virginia Tech I would like to analyze the song shine by collective soul and look for references to the TOE.

First of all collective soul=undivided field

"Shine"
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell what will I find ( will I find )
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find ( will I find )

Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there ( love be there )

Oh, heaven let your light shine down (x4)

Im going to let it shine (x2)
Heavens little light gonna shine on me
Yea yea heavens little light gonna shine on me
Its gonna shine, shine on me
Its gonna shine, come on in shine

Most important MK is the line "show me a word, show me a sign." The "sign" is a definite reference to the TOE and reminds me of Brad Knowell saying "what I really want to know I can't define." Also notice the use of the words love and light almost interchangeably. Well, it seems Cho was not without desire and passion just like the rest of us. What is so said is our society not teaching the Law of One Unconditional Love, the law represented in the marriage symbol and that defined by the TOE.

The Last Mimsy
For those of you who haven't seen it this is an excellent movie that is just one HUGE reference to the TOE. WHen you watch this movie pay attention to the sacred geometry. THe cool thing is I have a friend who made a device that looks almost like the one in the movie. I'll try to find a picture to show you all but it has to do with platonic geometry.

Thanks for the tip POK,I will check out this film,when it is released here.

Are you absolutely sure you are not reading too much into this stuff?I mean those who sing that song,are they aware of,say,sending a subliminal message to us listeners?

regards michael.

Re: TOE: references in pop culture - 05-01-2007, 03:56 PM

Of course they're sending subliminal messages MK! The whole world is a subliminal message, and the TOE is nothing if not replete in cultural references!

Now I'm not saying George Lucas had the TOE specifically in mind per se, but he might as well have when he decided the universe was made out of one fundamental thing called the force and that this fundamental force has two opposite sides, thus creating diametric symmetry i.e. a "coincidence of opposites" as Nicolas of Cusa called them. This coincidence of opposites is the very definition of the "God" number. Also Star Wars spoke of a battle between good and evil and of freedom fighters (Jedi Knights) who could use mind over matter and manipulate the force - the same is spoken of in the movie the Last Mimsy.

Now as for the lyrics, Brad Knowell said "WHat I really want to know is undefined." How much more obvious of an allusion could you get to 1/0? Then he goes on to say "but it's love that I live!" So he's saying that the greatest thing that is so hard to define is love itself! The Theory of Everything!

Now let's go back to the Collective Soul song. As I'm saying these artists aren't doing what they're doing consciously but it's all a self-engrained prophecy of magnanimous proportions. The most important things about the collective soul song are first of all the Band's name, collective soul. "Collective Soul" is quite clearly another word for "undivided field" but it explains it even better I think. Also the song ties together love with the word light. That is a suggestion that light IS living consciousness! And when the lyrics say "show me a word, show me a sign" what sign could they possibly be talking about other than the one which defines unity? When we see that Cho loved this song but that society has so far failed in delivering the sign, we get a sense of the urgency that this theory of everything really entails!

Let's look at another reference from pop culture shall we? Let's look at another reference to "the sign" - one which actually shows it.

http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=499105

SC: So what's the real way of writing your band's name? Written out or logo style?
RICH: It's interlocking circles.
CS: Isn't that tomatoes? tomatoes.
RICH: What!?
CS: I'm serious. I saw it at Safeway.
RICH: Let me explain...The name Double-0 really doesn't mean as much to me as the actual logo. The circles are linking, meaning, as corny as it does sound, unity. And I think it's real important and it's dwindled

From another interview
SE: What does DOUBLE-O mean?
Eric: Double-O is a slang that means the once over.
Bert: To look over twice.
Eric: Yeah, to look over twice,an inspection.
Richard: But then ask what the symbol means.
SE: What does the symbol mean?
Eric: Richard came up with the logo and it means unity.
Bert: Like a chain-link. That's why we do "Kids Are United."
Richard: That's right, we wanna bring unity in the DC scene.
Eric: We have to bring it out of its slump.
Richard: We're reborning it.
Eric: Too many depressing people nowadays.
Bert: That's right.

definition of marriage symbol from http://biblefocus.net/notes/sjh/symbol-of-marriage.html
To God, marriage is a symbol of a unity that is intrinsic to his creation. From the Bible we find that people were designed with marriage in mind, so that it is part of our nature. But reaching further, it is also a relationship that may be abstracted and is echoed in the one we are called to develop

Now, do you think it is pure coincidence that this punk rock band from DC called Double-0 came up with a symbol that already existed and gave it the same definition it already had, known previously as the marriage symbol? Could it be that the two circles represent the two sides of the force that George Lucas spoke of? Is it the true symbol of light and love which the Collective Soul song sang about, or the great undefined mystery that Brad Knowell tried so hard to find before his tragic suicide? Also, is it a coincidence that this is the same symbol I "independently" came up with to symbolize the definintion I "discovered" for what is possibly the most important number in history? Also, why is this particular symbol so common in advertisements? Is it because it IS a universal symbol of the universe? Has it been predicted by pop culture?





you decide. Maybe the logo should actually say masterFORCE, and we are all really Jedi Knights. If not, there must be a better explanation why all these pop-culture references are so uncanny

Hopefully to another world MK. Here's the latest "sign" I've found from an old soap opera of all things



theme song
You are my way (your are my way)
to another world (to another world)
you give me hope, so that I can sing
you grant me all, that freedom will bring

believe it or not, this ring of circles is the design of a stargate. I wash shocked when I saw it on this soap opera title screen. THe original title looked like this from the 60's



Well this is getting creepier everyday MK. Haha, it makes me wonder where the interlocking circles are going to pop up next in pop culture!

Re: TOE: references in pop culture - 08-24-2007, 01:13 PM

Greetings All!

It's time for me to update my favorite thread, which catalogues all the references I see to the TOE in pop culture. Basically I believe that mankind was/is destined to bring about the TOE, and that everything that has happened in our history is like a self-engrained prophecy of magnanimous proportions, all culminating in the TOE and the eventual liberation of mankind into a society that is peaceful and completely in harmony with nature.

So far we have looked at such references as Star Wars, which details that the universe is created out of one thing called "the force," and that there is a light and a dark side to it. Hmmmm, sounds suspisciously similar to the unified field, and it's composition out of positive and negative essences. Perhaps the force is magnetism as magnetism has a dark and a light side, and perhaps this means Star Wars is giving us a clue that the ultimate force which forms the unified field is magnetism and that magnetism can create all other things by virtue of it's nature.

Also we've looked at advertisments which show two interlocked circles which seems to embody this idea of a unified force-field with a dark and a light side. Because this symbol is so powerful, known as the marriage symbol, it is the most utilized symbol in advertising to try and sell products. Also companies that use this logo sometimes have strange slogans, such as Kool cigarettes', "be true" logo which is embrazoned next to the interlocked circles. All of this I find to be quite uncanny, but hopefully you will enjoy it as well.

Also we've looked at song lyrics, which often typify the TOE being that good song writers are allways intuned with the universe when composing their best lyrics. One startling reference is by the band Collective Soul, whose name sounds an awefull lot like Unified Consciousness Field. In their song which Cho, the killer in the Virginia Tech shootings, used to always listen to, they say "show me a word, show me a sign." I believe the sign they say we are looking for, and which CHO could not find, is the TOE, as the TOE is here to grant us the excuse to be free and happy and united as a single human race with no wars, and definitely no school shootings. ALso the song uses a lot of references to the words "light" and "love," suggesting perhaps that light is living consciousness, or love if you will. I believe this means the TOE shall demonstrate that light energy and consciousness are one and the same with love. Also we looked at the Sublime song Santeria in which the late Bradley Knowell says "what I really want to know is undefined. But it's love that I live." This seems to be a direct reference to the undefined number 1/0, the definition of the unified field. So maybe Brad is saying the greatest truth is undefined, but afterall it's love that we live. This means that the greatest definition, the definition of 1/0, is love itself. And recall that 1/0 is the combination of positive and negative infinity, much like the light and the dark side of the force, or like male and female that come together to make love.

Now I shall reference the lyrics to the song "unity" by operation ivy. This song being about unity which obviously must be very germain to the unified field is a presage to the unification of mankind which must occurr as part of the theory of everything. Here are the lyrics.

There's a war going down between my brothers tonight
I don't want no War! Going down, going down tonight

Stop this WAAAAAARRRR!
Stop this WAAAAAAARRR!

Civilization. Ha! I call it as I see it
I call this bullshit you know. I still cannot believe it
Our evolution now has gone the way of hate
no time to stall, let's ALL reverse this stupid fate
everybody's worried 'bout the trials of livin'
arbitrary values, just something that we've been given
we are all guilty
we are all the same
we are all human
we are all the same

Stop this WAR!
Stop this WAR!

All so different? Yeah, I say were all the same!
All caught you know in the division game!
Self destruction fast impending like a bullet
No one can stop it once its fired no one can control it

Stop this WAR!
Stop this WAR!

A final word, wait it's not a call to action
We aint no sect. No we aint no ****************ing faction
Unity Unity Unity! You've heard it all before
This time its not exclusive. We want to stop the war!

Stop this WAR!
Stop this WAR!

Ain't nothing wrong, with another unity song
Aiin't nothing wrong, with another unity song
Ain't nothing wrong, with another unity song
Ain't nothing wrong, with another unity song

UNITY! As one stand together
UNITY! Evolution's gotta come
UNITY! As one stand together
UNITY! Evolution's gotta come

Stop this WAR!

and here's an inspirational music video that someone made on youtube so you can hear what the song sounds like. It's really a very good song.
