Welcome back to occult symbolism in pop culture. I’m your host, Isaac Weishaupt. Now today, I want to talk to you about something real serious. We’re talking about the end of the world. We’re talking about the Antichrist rising up from the carcass of Twitter. That’s right. We’re going to talk about Elon Musk, everyone’s favorite nerd. Yeah, I think he’s the Antichrist. Honestly. We’re like Elon Musk. But really what we’re talking about is symbolism talking about the symbolism of the letter X. Sounds boring. But I assure you, by the end of this, you’re going to be clutching your pearls, you’re going to be, you’re going to be you’re going to be thumping your Bible, you’re going to be going to church, you’re going to be saying your prayers, prayers, training and vitamins with the Hawkster. Why are we talking about it? Well, let’s talk about what happened. Twitter is according to NBC News, Twitter has officially rebranded to X. After owner Elon Musk changed its iconic bird logo Monday, marking the latest major shifts since his takeover of the social media platform. The website twitter.com remain live and branding on the app version of the platform did not appear to change, blah, blah, blah. Twitter’s world renowned bird logo was transformed into an X, however, Musk tweeted Sunday that the idea of changing the logo to X was to embody the imperfections in us all that make us unique. And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and gradually all the birds now this might be the dumbest thing he’s ever done. He’s done a lot of dumb things. And I would argue this is the dumbest. You already know I don’t like Elon Musk, you already know this. Okay. I think he is a silver spoon, baby. And I don’t think he’s as intelligent as the world is trying so hard to convince us of. And I think this is more proof of why I mean, like, and we’re going to come back to that in the conclusion. He’s got he’s got motivations for this. And I’ve got my reasons of why this is stupid. We’ll talk about that more in the conclusion that’s more so boxy. All right. And I did an I did a most evil nerd countdown show over there on breaking social norms. It’s a podcast I do with my Normie wife. Some is love it, some of us hate it. And that’s okay. It’s a different format. It’s conversational is very opinionated. And, you know, my wife’s a very, she’s a fierce Greek woman. And a lot of people don’t like that. So, but anyways, I did most evil nerds countdown, you guess where Elon landed? I’m gonna tell you this right now. He landed really high. So okay, so let’s talk about this Twitter symbol. It’s an x, right? So it’s, you probably seen it. It’s obviously an extra two diagonals. Well, one of them is sort of widened diagonal, which apparently, is the Unicode character for x. That’s a writing standard and software. Which makes sense because Elon Musk is kind of nerdy right? Now, and he has motivations for the ex, he’s obsessed with the letter. We’ll come back on the conclusion for more on that, all right. But let’s for now, journey back to 2015, we’re going back to the archives of the Illuminati watch.com blog, that is no more. I still have the website and I post, podcast stuff and links and index for every episode of the podcast. Because if you’re, you want to go back in time, maybe you’re new, you can go to the podcast index and search for keywords. You’ll find it okay. But I still have the article up for decoding Illuminati symbolism, the Mark of the Beast x, and I’ll put the link in the show notes. You can read it. This has all the information on it, though. I’m going to tell I’m going to talk you through it. All right. But if you want to go deeper into detail, that post will have more for you because I kept up a handful of blog posts about the decoding Illuminati symbolism series. So on the article, we talked about various meanings for the symbol of x, the letter X. And first and foremost before we just start saying x is illuminate, confirm on everything. Christ Himself. Sometimes the ex symbolizes him defeating death, defeating death by death, they say, but we’re not talking about that we’re talking about the occult uses of the term of the letter of the symbol and text Mars is one great resource I use for this research. And text Mars claims that the x is a symbol used to activate subconscious programming. And psychoanalyst Carl Jung, agnostic we, we referenced many times. He talks about the collective unconscious, which I translate as a connective web, that we are all sort of in touch with each other. It’s a perennial philosophy. The ecology of the film Avatar is one example. Right? We’re all connected, you always hear that. So that’s the call young collective unconscious. Now x. For the first sort of section is x as the symbol of transformation. That’s one meaning of the letter and a resource I used to research that topic is going to be text Mars’s Codex Magica. All right, in this book, he cites a Freemason, who’s a very well decorated Freemason named Jim Dresner. And an article from the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry journal in which they detail x as the symbol of transformation. So this is a free Masonic concept, if you’re following right. And in Freemasonry, the Initiate goes through various degrees, various rituals before attaining their next rank. They’re on this journey of enlightenment. When you get to the 17th degree, which is curious, because of the letter Q is the 17th letter, and we talked about QA, Nan, and all that and the number 17. Related to that we talked about that a few years ago. Well, the 17th degree is conferred upon initiate and that is considered the transformation ritual. They reference the the crossing of court ons, so they form an X. And that’s the free Masonic initiation ritual. And it marks the transformation of spiritual power into what they call the law of love. And that’s interesting because that sounds a lot like Aleister Crowley’s do what thou wilt, right. It talks about love as the law love under will that’s the law of the Lima his religion. And it should also be noted that Crowley star of Babylon symbol, which is his logo for the Lima has an x and an O at the top center, if you look at it. Now the cord ons in the free Masonic transformation ceremony are an X and they’re depicted as black and white symbolism for of course, duality, right? These various groups are always referencing the duality. It’s the idea of joining opposing polarities to find a new equilibrium. So when you look at the as above, so below sort of hermetic axiom of the initiate, they are on the microcosm, and the universe is on the macrocosm. So when you have this sort of duality depiction, it’s the change of the candidate is the change on the universal level as well, they can change the world, a magical concept. And you see this idea of opposing polarities with like the Baphomet, right to go with the Bob’s and so on, and I go into more detail in the article I’m gonna, I’m gonna skip some of them because it’s a long article right. Now, the transformation of man, being symbolized with a free Masonic x is an interesting idea when you look at the superheroes, the X Men, those represent a transformed man human into a mutant with superpowers, which of course, if you listen to my lecture on the symbolism of superheroes, and the origin of that how they are all called references. Next, let’s move on to x as the symbol of death. Another theory in the meaning of x is that of death. And when we’re talking about death, in terms of initiation rituals, the Initiate goes on this death and rebirth ritual and it’s a journey into the unknown. Texts Mars says that symbolically the Egyptian daily Osiris uses this because you see it in the pyramids of Egypt and Dawn temples and such. And you find Pharaohs buried with their arms and legs crossed in devotion to Osiris. Also, we talked speaking of QA Nan and the the number, the sorry, the letter Q and the number 17. The Osiris resurrection ritual is held every inauguration of every president in Washington DC at the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry jurisdiction Lodge. You also see the symbolism
acts and cartoons as a symbol of death when they put an X over the eyes of the cartoon character, right? Or you hear the phrase cross my heart and hope to die. That’s another symbol. And like many traditions, you find that we heavily borrowed from these Egyptian themes. Because when you put a person in a casket, oftentimes you cross the arms. So there’s a lot of overlapping free Masonic Egyptian symbolism sort of baked into, into, you know, pop culture stuff right now. In fact, in the royal arch master’s degree, the first sign is that of crossing the hands over the chest, which says the Initiate will be penalized with death if they reveal the secrets. And then, of course, you’ve got the Yael secret society the skull and bones which they go through their own death and rebirth ritual initiations in the coffin. Now, let’s go into the darker realm x as the mark of the beast. This is the last explanation this was a little bit more in depth, all right. To better explain it, all to go more in depth on some of these ideas here. Let’s talk about the unknown first. One aspect of x is to symbolize the entrance to the unknown. We already talked about that. You see it in television shows like The X Files, adding to the paranormal, the mystery, all that stuff, right the hidden. There’s also the Planet X of Nibiru when you get into Zechariah Sitchin and the ancient astronaut theorists. We also see x referring to the unknown by philosopher Rene Descartes, as well as an algebra it’s an unknown variable, that’s the the first one is x and then also the y variable or any variable for that matter. But most people in the entry levels of mathematics of algebra x is the unknown, the unknown variable. That’s why they call the X ray what they call it what they label it as because they didn’t know what they were looking at, upon us discovery. Next, you’ve got a lot of symbolism of Kabbalah. All right, if you’re familiar with my work, then you’re familiar with the Kabbalah and the tree of life. In terms of which, which of course is Jewish mysticism, and the Tree of Life is depicted with as a tree but there’s 10 Divine emanations. Okay, 10 sefirat, which are characteristics of God. And the people who practice Kabbalah believe they can navigate through each of these emanations of God and reach the top, which is catheter catheter catheter, which is the heavens. And to approach this realm, you can go up three pads or three pillars. And there’s actually 22 pads if you don’t know how you go, but there’s three paths up you can go up the left side, the right side or the center. And if you go to the center path, the practitioner goes from the bottom most suffer out, which is the earth or malkuth. They and they go all the way up to Catherine to heaven, but to do so they have to pass through the unseen realm the unknown variable day off. And this path is referred to as the G path. Okay, not G isn’t gangster, we’re talking G as in free Masonic grand creator the competent square. So when you take the center G path, the follower goes or the Initiate will go through a route known as the abyss, which is the unknown realm in deauth. Okay, because dath is the hidden Sephora and this path, this g path is the pillar of consciousness. And the abyss is the shortcut to the top to reaching the top most suffer up. In fact, in Lieber for 18, the vision and the voice occultist Aleister Crowley detail this journey through the Abyss using John D and Edward Kelly’s and Nokian magic ritual. And this book would go on to form the foundations of his D’Alema belief system, where he describes the scarlet whore aka the goddess of the Lima Babylon, which again, as a reminder, the logo has the X on the top of it. And then the book, Crowley himself warns of entering the Abyss because the abyss is guarded by the DWELLER corones zone. Now if you follow me on the Twin Peaks gray lodge series, you’re you’re, you’re gonna find there’s an episode of Twin Peaks where they talk about the Dweller. And that’s what they’re referencing. Now in the blog, I go through the actual text where he talks about this, but I know we’re going altra deep today so We’re going to skip that part. Because if you’re not already confused, you’re going to be even more confused. But just take my word for it, it’s in there. If you don’t believe me go to the website, the link will be in the show notes. Now, this is also why we see mentioned of the core belief in the 66 fallen angels of the ClearPath. All right, my one red pill daddy Freeman. Fli is the one that turned me on to all this stuff when he started talking about the mark of the beast being the x and the O. But to understand that we got to take a different sort of journey through okay, because the ClearPath there in the realm, that is the dark side, the shadow side of the tree of life and Kabbalah similar to the abyss. And if one traverses it, they would go insane because it requires the destruction of the ego before you approach this corones own character. That’s as per Crowley okay. Now, while you’re in the abyss, apparently, there’s this character named Typhon, who is the Lord of the abyss. And at some point in the history of a call beliefs Typhon is very similar to Nolan’s or Poseidon or Leviathan from the Bible. And look, if you get real technical about this, maybe some elements are off a little bit, but just know that the the, the entities get conflated at some point. All right. In Revelations chapter 13, they talk about all this stuff, right? We’re not going to read through the whole thing. But it talks about how the number of the beast is 666. All right. And it’s interesting because in Kabbalah, the number 666 is used to represent the creation and the perfection of the world. Now, why would they use that specific number when the Bible calls it out specifically? Isn’t that interesting? We’re ultimately ultimately trying to explore the letter X though, okay. So the letter X in Greek is, is CH AI or Shi P, I think a key is the correct way to pronounce it, I believe. And he has a numeric equivalent of 600. So 666 is actually equal to x x x. All right. And also, in Roman numerals x is equal to the number 10. The the Perfected number of this the cabbalistic Tree of Life. Also, if you’re on the Twin Peaks, great lodge with me. You’re going to find out at a certain point in the story, this isn’t a plot spoiler, that 10 is the number of completion. That’s what they show you on Twin Peaks. Well, that comes from Kabbalah, and the letter X, the unknown realm, the Black Lodge, if you will. So another idea of using the tree of life and the Sephora is used to describe how God created the world. And it’s believed that God uses it attributes of each pillar on the tree of life, to zigzag up and down the tree of life. To create the material world in which we live. Some people refer to this with the hermetic maximum as above, so below, they think that the universe can create a world for them in the material realm by conducting certain magic rituals. They’re trying to change the world according to their own will. That’s why they’re obsessed with Kabbalah and ritual magic and all these sorts of wacky ideas of the occult. They think they can climb this tree of life in a zigzag pattern, just like God did. So they can become gods as well. And this concept is oftentimes depicted as a lightning bolt, which as you can tell is more like the letter Z. And you see the lightning bolt in crawlies, the Lima unicursal hexagrams. Lots of people have this sort of lightning bolt Z shape tattooed on them Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, Lenny Kravitz, I think D N word also hasn’t. But anyways, going back to cuz we’re talking about entities right? Note NS slash Typhon. They appear. They appear throughout pop culture, okay. And Freeman flyer talked about what he called the spirit of NOTAMs referenced in Kenneth Grant’s book, Aleister Crowley in the hidden God. Note ins aka Typhon is the lightning war god. And in the book, it claims that he flashed forth as lightning from the depths and formed a throne in the celestial realm, a seed of stone where the goddess was established.
And the book, The Kenneth grant book talks about how the heart of note in sigil is the same as that of the mark of the beast. And so he’s saying the Mark of the Beast is a fusion of the x and the O because the x and the O produces the lightning flash From the depths of Typhon or node ends and it’s believed that the initiates the initiates believe that if you can trigger the lightning from Leviathan nodes Typhon or whatever from the depths, this will initiate a sequence to establish the goddess in the skies because the union of Exynos is analogous to the union of the opposing polarities of male and female. It’s a lot I know I know it’s a lot you might have to listen to this episode twice. And then Freeman Fli he went on to explain this process which I translate as the reason why we see the X in the yo oftentimes in pop culture. All right. An interesting offer if you watch the 1927, film metros metropolis, they create a transhuman, false Maria character who the robot deceives the people so that they can rebuild Babylon. You’ll notice they show a fusion of the x and the O during the transformation process. They show like a lightning bolt as well. So also, well, we got a couple more things and then we’re gonna we’re gonna wrap it up. If you look at there’s a book called The Complete Idiot’s Guide to alchemy. I’m going to read you from it it says the cipher for the first matter can be shown in two orientations, shown here, as a cross inside a circle, it signifies the purified or rectified first matter. If it were shown as an X in a circle, it would have signified the chaotic or unrefined first matter. So the first matter which is called Primeau, materia and alchemy that is primordial chaos. And in alchemy, you have to process the chaos you have to bring order to the chaos, which is the slogan for I believe, the 33rd degree of Freemasonry. So an alchemy primer material must be processed and refined through effort for spiritual development to occur. Alright, so posting that symbol over and over, charges up the power of the symbol for the initiate, according to, you know, LFS lovies, magnetic chain theory. Look we’re on. I know, if you’re new to the show, you’re like, What is he rambling on and on about? Well, you better start catching up. Like I always say, I’m playing Wii U hose anymore. We’re gonna keep on going deep down the path of the occult. Sometimes I like to zoom out and keep it real simple. Sometimes we like to go hard in the paint. We’re going hard in the paint today. So there you go. That’s a lot of strange activities. But then you’ve got numerology where x is reduces to the number six, which gives you again 666. So in conclusion, let’s, let’s move back out. Let’s look at Elon Musk one more time. In conclusion, from a business perspective, I think this seems really dumb. You’re taking one of the most recognizable logos on the planet, and you’re just getting rid of it. I mean, the term tweet is baked right into it. And Elon wants you to call them exes, which is insanity. Now, there’s something very ironic here because what we’re witnessing is the destruction of the bird. Okay, that’s what literally what Elon Musk said he’s gonna get rid of all the birds. And we talked about this in my Twin Peaks gray lodge season one, episode zero, the pilot episode Northwest patch passage, we talked about how Ben Horne represents the material world, which is capitalism, destroying Mother Nature, the ghost wood National Forest, he wants to bring it down, right. And we talked about the powers of nature fighting back. And we talked about Michael Hoffman’s book, Michael Hoffman said, Man is alien alienated from nature by means of the Saturnian site, which symbolizes the sense of separation from God’s natural creation. That man experienced after the fall, man began his pre Pere Reagan nation, away from Eden, through his conceit that he would become his God. So it’s man trying to become God. Same old story over and over again. So Elon Musk, I think, believes he can become God. He shows that many times. He’s the world’s richest man, after all. He’s always manipulating crypto markets. And he has been seen with Glenn Maxwell. Maybe there’s something there. Maybe not. He wants to make a breakaway civilization to go to Mars. His grandfather was arrested for being a technocrat, which is what all the all of the sort of geopolitical, geopolitical crisis Pharisee theorists believe that that’s what they want as a scientific technocracy. That’s the main problem. In fact, I believe Jay Dyer did an HG Wells New World Order book study where he they talk about that’s the future is trying to implement a technocracy and that’s what Elon Musk’s father was into his grandfather, excuse me. He was arrested for it in Canada. His mom’s doing fashion shoots with Beyonce. His dad owns an emerald mine, and neither him nor his father. They couldn’t pull out of a garage. Let me tell you something. Elon, his father just had a child. He’s 76 with a hit a 35 year old girl. And worse yet, it was his stepdaughter. That’s right. And of course, Elon and his father supposedly don’t get along. I think it’s two peas in a pod if you asked me. Anyway, why is Elon going with his ex thing? Well, he’s having babies with Grimes who she’s a whole different can of worms. And their boy, the first one was named x. The full name is X, a XE. And the daughter’s name is Y, or X a dark side real. Anyways, they said that they named their son x because it stands for the unknown variable. So that’s probably the answer why he’s obsessed with letter X, like you see in SpaceX. And now Twitter is x.com or whatever they want to do. My theory, my conspiracy theory is that all of this is him using occult practices, whether he knows it or not, maybe he’s being influenced by this to do this, to try to become God. They insist on man becoming God that’s what these elites want. So there you go.
