Letter from Kitty | Jan. 22, 2005

Hi, Eric Francis,
 
Thanks for posting this picture. (I think.) I'm one of those people who have been feeling and experiencing the energy shifts since August, 2001, and even so, it's been a very intense experience to actually see it presented in such a clear visual form. This is absolutely breathtaking.
 
1.)  My first reaction: OMFG, I'm looking at 1939 Berlin.
 
2.) I live in a small red-state town (just down the road--Interstate, that is--from Chelsea), where people truly see George W. Bush as a "man of God". I know people who put pictures of him in their family Bibles. Today, around 4 PM, I went out to run a few errands. I don't think I've ever seen so many cars and people rushing around on the streets, even at what passes for "rush hour" here. They didn't seem angry or malicious, just moving and busy, focused on where they were going but not really paying attention to where they were while they were getting there.
 
My impression was it was as if someone had stirred up an ant hill, and all the ants came rushing out. (I have seen this phenomenon before, usually when personal planets station or otherwise shift energy.)
 
So this afternoon I got home and decided to check out the PlanetWaves blog, and I saw the dark mass on the steps of U. S. Capitol, and there were the ants again. Remember the symbolic meaning (eg. Native American medicine) of ant consciousness: a group of beings, having no individual consciousness or will, acting together in a coordinated effort, each playing its part in a methodical way to accomplish something for the whole, as determined by the overriding consciousness.
 
3.)  Having been reminded of pre-war Germany, I decided to do a little Internet research. For about 20 minutes this evening, I was immersed in the energy of the Third Reich in a way that I have never been before. Then my Internet Explorer crashed. (Girlfriend, you "got it", now get out of there. Guess I can thank Bill Gates for something.) To change the energy, I took a shower and made another cup of coffee.
 
The image that was most impressive to me was a photograph of ordinary German citizens cheering Hitler--housewives, office workers, gazing upwards with mouths open and rapturous expressions on their faces. The accompanying text says that the scariest part of the writer's research was seeing the way that regular people came to view Hitler as a god, in an almost hypnotic state, giving up their thinking ability and common sense. (Sense of humanity?)
 
Coincidentally ; ), as I was reading about pre-war Germany, I got an e-mail from a relative in Oklahoma. She was forwarding to me an e-mail about ungrateful immigrants who complain about the U.S., and about the people who won't let true patriotic Americans say Merry Christmas. To quote from the e-mail, "What about MY RIGHTS? The idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity."  Either adapt to the true American way, shut up, or leave. God bless America.
 
I call this kind of message "feel-good" e-mails. My experience is that the people passing them on don't know what they are doing and don't want to be bothered thinking about it. They cursorily read the message, it makes them feels good, or at least less "bad", and they hit the forward button.
 
4.) The symbolism in the lower, stage-managed part of the inauguration scene is so obvious, it's stunning. The area where the officials stood being above and away from the masses. The secret, dark, mysterious "inner sanctum", obscured by the flag (dare I say it, the national symbol of worship? If we bow down in awe and idolatry, we won't ask "what's behind the curtain"?)
 
5.) Whatever part of consciousness is directing the ants on the west front Capitol steps, it has given itself away by the part of the scene that was not stage-managed. Raise your eyes upward to the dome of the Capitol building. The Statue of Freedom at the very top, facing away from the inauguration scene. And just below the dome, the real-time U.S. flag, flying at half-mast.
 
In addition, in the photo as it appears on the PlanetWaves blog, the five flags hanging in the gallery are hanging backwards, reversed from their normal position, with the stars at the upper right instead of left. Hanging a flag in reverse, or upside down, is universally known as a signal of distress.
 
It is possible that the photo has been transposed, but having studied the orientation of the Statue of Fredom, the flag flying below, and the position of the flags in the military colorguard (over their right shoulders), I don't think this is the case. Also, the official Army inauguration photo gallery shows the flags in the backwards orientation:

The more I look at the inauguration scene, the more I see.  I am alternately laughing and crying. I find it repulsive, in a very Plutonian way ... I am repelled by it but also drawn in to it.
 
Eric, this is so profound. Shocking, horrifying, yet beautiful in its utter clarity and starkness. This is our mirror. This is our mirror. This is our mirror. What shall we do with it?
 
To borrow from your work, could it be that this is a visual representation of the portal to the core? We may find it repulsive, heart-breaking, terrifying ... and it is sacred ground.
 
The Sagittarius and Pisces in me says, what a wonderful gift, to see this. We are almost there. Let's go.
 
(Do we have a choice?)
