Yreka

Hucka D.:

You must find out the Whitehead X-ing equivalent to Yreka, which is akin to the Vikings’ Greenland and Iceland in that it is the opposite of the name. We know Greenland and Iceland are equivalent to Greene Knob, which will be renamed Gene’s Knob in honor of Gene Fade and his super-opus “Fade to Moss”. Is the story of the Strange or Strang Monster a part of “Fade”?

bb:

I wonder if this Yreka is actually pre-*Leaf*? That would be odd. It looks like from a Siskiyou County map that Yreka would be positioned near the head of No Title Spring, or what was perhaps Norum Spring in the far past.

Hucka D.:

This county is perhaps a snapshot of what Leaf encountered when he entered The Crossing those oh so many years ago. All of California is like this — I think of Eric near Monolith. The Monolith was already present? Or did Leaf build it? And then what of Strange being born in Weed (NM)? Strange is a bartender/monster. Noonan. Frank-einstein.

I think Mossbrae Falls figures into this somewhere as well.

“Well…

… let’s look at Leaf:

“Monolith (Mono-Leaf?), Californi-a. Next to Eric. This means: Whitehead X-ing’s Monolith is dedicated to Leaf Erik’son’s visit to The Crossing, perhaps on the same spot he had a house or sum’tin. In same state, Erickson near Leaf obviously points to Leaf Erik’son. Nearby is Grass Lake and Weed. Grass Lake is the same as Reed Lake in The Crossing’s Mall area. More stories there — perhaps Leaf fished out a monster there. Perhaps this monster was Strange — probably was, don’t you guess? Then this Strange monster was moved over to The Weed or just Weed.

bb:

So Hucka D, I’m thinking Leaf saw a Big Foot monster. The same Calif. county is home to many Big Foot sightings in the country, especially Route 89 between Happy Valley and Willow Creek.

Then of course we have this bizarre blog found several years back concerning Stranger Creek, Kansas…

Greetings!

Hucka D.:

Hitchcock and Number Nine. Small advances past level 1… heading slowly but surely to level 2. You know I like these synchs.

Back to Siskiyou County…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yreka,_California

The name comes from the Shasta language /wáik’a/, for which Mount Shasta is named.[2] The word means “north mountain” or “white mountain”.[3][4] Mark Twain tells a different story:

Harte had arrived in California in the [eighteen-]fifties, twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and had wandered up into the surface diggings of the camp at Yreka, a place which had acquired its mysterious name — when in its first days it much needed a name — through an accident. There was a bakeshop with a canvas sign which had not yet been put up but had been painted and stretched to dry in such a way that the word BAKERY, all but the B, showed through and was reversed. A stranger read it wrong end first, YREKA, and supposed that that was the name of the camp. The campers were satisfied with it and adopted it.[5]

“Yreka Bakery” is a palindrome. The loss of the “B” in a bakery sign read from the reverse is mentioned as a possible source of the name Yreka in Mark Twain’s autobiography.[5][55] The original Yreka Bakery was founded in 1856 by baker Frederick Deng.[56] The palindrome was recognized early on: “spell Yreka Bakery backwards and you will know where to get a good loaf of bread” is quoted as an ad in the Yreka Semi-Weekly Journal May 23, 1863 and states that twelve loaves sold for $1.[56] The Yreka Bakery moved eventually to its long-time location, 322 West Miner Street, where it remained under several ownerships until it closed in 1965 on retirement of the baker “Martin”, and clerk Alta Hudson. Another Yreka Bakery reopened in a different location in 1974,[56] but is no longer in business.[57] Author Martin Gardner mentioned that Yreka Bakery was in business on West Miner Street in Yreka,[58]:246 but it was pointed out by readers “the Yreka Bakery no longer existed. In 1970 the original premises were occupied by the art store Yrella Gallery, also a palindrome”,[58]:251 which was owned and operated by Yreka resident B’Ann Dunlap. The historic building, the Brown-Nickell-Authenrieth Building, 322–324 West Miner Street, currently houses a restaurant.[59]

Also here:

http://yrekaoccult.blogspot.com/

“Yreka” which is supposedly an Indian word meaning “White Mountain”. This story is false. Yreka is an ancient Greek word meaning the opposite of Eureka, which of course means, “I found it”. Yreka actually means, “I haven’t found it”.

With names like “Thompson’s Dry Diggings” which would obviously deter any traveling miner from setting up claim and “Yreka” which is the opposite of Eureka…something is amiss here. Much like the Vikings named Iceland and Greenland the opposite of their true nature, the same has been done with Yreka. But, why?

Truth is, Yreka is one of the richest areas in the world in terms of natural resources and development in the Siskiyou County region has been systematically oppressed since California was first inhabited by pioneers in the 1800’s. Some even say that Yreka is a spiritual epicenter for occultist activity.

Interesting that Greenland and Iceland, Lief Erickson’s stomping grounds, comes up here again. So the names Greenland, Iceland and Yreka are united in this way.

The Freemasons have had a longstanding power structure set up in Yreka since its founding in 1851, one year after California entered the union. The large majority of the land in Siskiyou County is owned by clandestine private land owners that vow to stifle all industry in the region. These clandestine owners are known to locals as “The 40 Thieves”.

A trip down Miner Street will take you to the Franco American Hotel. A hotel that once housed US President and Freemason, Rutherford B. Hayes. Directly next door to the historic hotel is the Masonic Temple that is now a hardware store. Masonic symbols can still be found on the frieze of the building and are a hidden reminder of the men that built the city and their occultist allegiance. What was the meaning of Rutherford B. Hayes’ visit to Yreka and what was being discussed? Underneath the buildings on Miner Street lies tunnels used in the past for occultist ceremonies done by Freemasons and the Illuminati.rutherford b hayes illuminati

Maybe they fished a giant statue of the Tin man or Ten man out of Grass Lake, Hucka D. It’s a sort of swampy, grassy lake, then. Tennant near Tin Shop, Alabama gives a possible clue. Tennant near Leaf-Erickson, Grass Lake, Weed Calif. balanced. Tennant, Iowa, 3rd and last, may point to Billfork via Harlan co. seat and an Irwin nearby. Harlan equals God, perhaps Whitehead (?) Tennant of course is Dr. Who, Time Traveler.

New Whitehead X-ing Map

—–

“So much information on this map, Hucka D.”

Hucka D.:

Roger Pine Ridge. 3 days!

bb:

Yes, Hucka D. 1 or both or neither of them.

Hucka D.:

But to the Whitehead X-ing map. New things have been found out. Let me see (scans map). You see that Contemplation Loop divides exterior X-ing from The Interior, centered by the 2 tulip trees. You understand that… “Edwardston” is a link between virtual reality and real reality. You gleen that… Edward’s Stones may be multiple. You get the idea that White Rock may be named something different or have multiple names, like The Point, or perhaps The Point of It All. It’s more impointant than you realized. You make a link between names No Title and No Room or Norum. You see that Red Head and Burnt Head are related names. And what about that strange, wack monolith, sitting there near the center of Whitehead X-ing but only discovered by you several days ago. How about that? And now you understand Soul Falls is the point of death. Exit point and exit strategy. Oh you know so much more.

bb:

Thanks Hucka D. Let’s switch to another post.

Whitehead X-ing Revelations 3

Monolith from the side.

Another interesting tree in the same area (but not as interesting as The Monolith).

Interesting unintentional trick photography here, where the tree in the back appears to be in front of the tree in the foreground at the top of the picture.

Soul Falls, where The End occurs. Perhaps curiously, I don’t remember being able to walk this close to the falls before. Has the landscape slightly changed in the meantime?

Diamond Rock and its namesake beach next to Whitehead Stream.

Big Log, and Orange Hill/Cliffs of Dundee in foreground.

A center of 4 Sticks, interestingly marked by a small grey feather. I’m now calling this pine The Last Tree or just Last Tree.

This day a new, tiny forest was created between Last Tree and neighboring Next[ To Last] Tree. These are also perhaps named 4th and 3rd Trees respectively.

Nice contrasts in bark color: blue grey, red grey, green grey. The more spread out “tree” just in back is instead merely a broken off branch of a pine tree, stuck in the ground. It is an artificial tree, then, like those set up at Christmas. Minutes later, it would itself be decorated with rainbow colored twine, thus becoming the Rainbow Tree of 4 Sticks centering a tiny Rainbow Forest. Again, all this occurs in a span of only several feet between 3rd and 4th Trees (or Next and Last Trees).

Traditional entrance to 4 Sticks from the south. I suppose one could call these the gateway pines, acting as types of Whitehead X-ing Boaz and Jachin pillars again.

Whitehead X-ing Revelations 02

Three pronged tree, perhaps in the Vinland district still.

Nearby small, white rocks at the base of a tree.

Patterns on a dead branch, like 2 windows or perhaps 2 square eyes.

The Shallow of The Mall, with reeds beginning to emerge. What is the story behind this sink? Many stories yet to be told about The Crossing.

There’s some poison ivy in the land, witness this hairy poison ivy vine climbing a tree in The Mall. Not a whole heck of a lot, but some.

Reddish purple fungus on a log.

Here’s an exciting new find. I call it The Monolith, a dead tree which has been somehow split to resemble a standing rock, like this one in Rudston, England.

The bottom indicates past beaver activity. Or is this instead the markings made by an axe?

Glinting silver top of the monolith. I’m also reminded here of The Silverberg Totem in the Korean Channel below Whitehead X-ing.

A beetle, perhaps a lightning bug, ascending the monolith. Is it giving me a message?

Sun atop the monolith.

208 MS Jack. (45:47)

Wendy exiting, as she reaches the end of the rainbow painting, cut back to Jack from the angle of where she had been standing. As we hear her footsteps continuing across the floor, Jack returns to work. The scrapbook shows different images and paper is already in the carriage. This shot of Jack appears out of joint with the others, his temperament and face dramatically different, no hint of rage there, but Kubrick has styled the shot so that Wendy’s departing footsteps heard over it tie the cuts together aurally.

The door beyond is now hidden by the lamp. Jack’s position conceals whether or not the table and chair, which were there then gone then returned, are there or not.

Juli contends this is the *real* (or realer) Jack typing the horror story based on the scrapbook he found in the Boiler Room (in King’s book; not shown in or edited out of Kubrick’s film, however, as discussed previously). The typewriter has changed colors from white to gray in the meantime.

Later on in her “Tuesday” section, Juli reveals her “base plan” starting with the above photo…

Jack’s expression is so different here, I really do feel like this is one of the few “real” shots in the film (there are a couple of others), and that the rest are only Kubrick allegory world and mental scenes from Jack working away on his novel. None of this really happens. It is a story. And that’s all right. After all, it’s only a story anyway. It’s fiction from beginning to end.

The film is full of impossibilities from beginning to end, and I have said repeatedly that one can’t approach this realistically. I really do think we have two stories, that of the writer who is at a lodge typing out his story, perhaps one a lot like Stephen King, an alcoholic with anger problems, and the story is inspired by this and a working out of it. And the story is also an allegory, a vehicle for the story Kubrick is intending to tell.

I’ve already discussed this idea of a story within a story (within a story) as well, most likely inspired by an earlier study of Kearns’ massive Shining document. Back to the Base Plan… Juli gives a list of some of the movie’s perceived “90 degree turns” and inexplicable, attached disappearances. She then states…

Fig. 48 – Pyramid and pyramidal trapezoid, monolith, vanishing point and single point perspective, all wrapped up in one, but the apex (and, hence, the vanishing point, the pyramid, the angle of convergence) is obscured.

An expresion for these 90 degree/right angle turns and the disappearances and appearances that seem to be associated with them I again find in the “vanishing point” (angle of convergence) of the trapezoid pyramid shape that is repeated throughout the film. Again, when one views this not as just a trapezoid but a rectangle viewed from an extreme perspective we find in it the disappearing angle of the vanishing point.

Kubrick consistently expresses the trapezoidal pyramid shape in the film with a circle above as if obscuring the angle of convergence. Take a look at the sconce on the wall above Jack’s head and how we have this expressed even in the shadow created by the light and the bottom of the sconce being what obscures the angle of convergence. This is an example of what I’m talking about. A simple expression of light and shadow and geometry.

We see the same later in the peculiar choking poster.

We see it implied in the Colorado flag.

She goes on to give several other examples of this vanishing point, including a corner of the hotel related scrapbook in one shot that appears to be altered by Kubrick to represent this. I personally think Kearns is on to something. She concludes her “Tuesday” section with the following, directly connected to the scrapbook’s sudden, unexplained appearance in the film…

Up to this point in The Shining, things had been going fairly well for Wendy and Danny and Jack at the Overlook, in as much as he hadn’t entered his crisis yet, that state of obsession in which he types over and over again the one phrase, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But that has now changed. The shift has been made.

Things could even said to be heading *south* from this point on.

Additional Wendy-Danny Tree Stuff

More twins from the collage before Gila 09 discussed in the Wendy-Danny Trees post just below, in this case Frank Zappa and Ringo Starr from the movie 200 Motels.*

Like the Grady Twins and Wendy-Danny from The Maze, they appear to be holding hands, or perhaps sharing one hand between them (Ringo’s left, Frank’s right). In the collage, they jointly start at a miniature version of the Marge beech grove positioned atop two opposing heads that are pressed together by two giant fingers. These fingers, along with a more realistic presentation of Marge, reappear in the following Gila collage already under discussion: “Head Inside”.

It also seems important to mention here that a mirroring crop circle (another twin!) appeared beside this beech grove’s twin Patty (*another* twin!) shortly after Edna and I returned from England this past summer. Never had a crop circle formed nearly this close to Marge before, nor her sister groves Patty and Selma. Just to note that all of these groves appear near each other on the same ridge, and are all basically convey the same shape, size and appearance.

Now the current state of “Head Inside,” newly reinstalled in Fal Mouth Moon. As you can see, the projecting dogwood branch doesn’t really do any aesthetic harm to the collage, and even adds to it in ways. Note that it appears to, by virtue of its 3-dimensionality, *block* Baker Bloch’s vision of McCartney’s head within Marge.

The truncated column in the back of the Table House discussed in the first post on this subject is found to exist at the very corner of VWX Town, Essence, or just within the part of the town that will be kept in January. A meter or two south or west and the column would lie within VWX Town, Indulgence, the part that is to be abandoned. Note also that the southernmost or “5th” column lies in VWX Town, Indulgence. 4 will remain; the 5th will not.

I also think this “missing” column represents the missing 199th tree of the Rubi Forest, the one that, when removed, makes its Lucas sequence resonance harder to identify. This was done on purpose — by The Woods itself?

* See here for strange tie-in between this movie and Cube-Brick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey:

http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/videography/200_Motels.html

The 2001: A Space Odyssey Monolith
From: Patrick Neve

I just snagged this neat-o little piece of trivia from the internet movie database. Anyone know if it’s true? Where exactly does it appear?

200 Motels Trivia: Filmed in the same studio as 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The black monolith from that film is visible.

From: Clyde200

Yep… I’ve wondered about it too. Although it’s been quite awhile since I last viewed the movie … I can see Ringo (with the lamp) and Theo. B. in front of the object which is on the right of the screen.

From: OnlytheSky

Not to mention during Penis Dimension sequence Dick Barber-as-the-vacuum- cleaner shoots a wad at it.

From: Patrick Neve

Oh, that’s it. I also just spotted it in Don Preston’s laboratory as he pushes the vile foamy liquids onto the unsuspecting Martin Lickert.

From: TTrocc7007

In the complete (unfilmed: see True Story Of 200 Motels for details) version of the original shooting script for 200 Motels, we actually see the monolith quite a bit more. It looms throughout. At the very end of the film (as written), the extreme close-up of FZ’s eye is supposed pull back so that we see the monolith behind him. As the monolith comes into focus we see for the first time that it is in fact FZ’s Marshall amp and speaker cabinet stack! He reaches over, flicks the stand-by switch, and the credits roll.

From: Patrick Neve

Very interesting.. Does that in any way discredit the “trivia” that the monolith in the movie is the one from 2001? Sounds like it may have been kicking around the studio so he wrote it into the script. Yes?

From: TTrocc7007

It sorta sounds logical that way until you realize that the script had to completed well in advance of shooting. It is possible an early trip to Pinewood studios WELL in advance of the shoot date may have turned up the slab, but I expect it was written and concieved BEFORE the excursion to the UK for actual shooting.

From: Jason M Arvey

A long time ago, someone asked a trivia question about the cover of 200 Motels, essentially looking for the three elements on the cover that are references to other films. I effectively found The Shadow above the newt on the building on the left hand side of the cover/poster. At the time, I had noticed a fetus sucking its thumb just to the right of The Shadow, but didn’t know what to make of it; I knew it wasn’t from 200 Motels, but couldn’t place it. Well, I looked back on the poster today, and, shucky- darn, if that ain’t the Monolith from 2001 sitting right there behing the penis dimension march.

“Alright…

… Cardboard Derek Jones. Have your way.”

CDJ:

Thank you. I’m here to talk about the architectural history of Westside.

(Voice from back of the small audience (yelling)):

There isn’t any. Get over it!

CDJ:

Ahem. Thank you *again*. Let’s start with the Wall of Eyes and attached Gallery Behind The Eyes. What’s there?

(Same voice):

Nothing!

CDJ:

Er, well, yes there is something there. There’s eyes, for one thing.

—–

bb:

And you get the gist of the rest, Hucka D. CDJ just couldn’t pull it off. Tough crowd. He went on to talk about the eyes were from Carcassonne, and the heckler yelled to him to give them back because they aren’t worth anything in Westside. Stuff like that. He couldn’t get to Gallery None, even — the name is an obvious setup (for jokes). There’s really nothing in Westside, and I’m afraid there never will be, what with the emphasis on Central front and center now… as it were.

Hucka D.:

As it is.

bb:

So what do I do? Just ask Westside to join Central and Southside now — eliminate the sectors altogether?

Hucka D.:

Maybe. Where would your town tension come from, then?

bb:

CDJ would cooperate with the Core of 4 to make VWX Town the best it can be. All centers on The Table in many ways. We know that Dr. Blood is Ray Davies from the future — handy information.

Hucka D.:

Yes. You must protect the Sunklands Initiative at any rate. Think of re-creating Sunklands in a different virtual setting. That’s your goal. Pietmond Forever!

bb:

Guess so Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

So if CDJ isn’t or can’t talk about Westside architectural history — since there really isn’t any — can we *finally* move to the Kidd Tower. Logical progression: it’s just inside the Westside territory and represents the first *real* building in VWX Town just heading from that sector, down that path.

bb:

Westside still has some promise. I don’t think it should be gotten rid of just yet. But obviously there’s nothing in it presently, really.

Hucka D.:

The most important thing is that Ray Davies is from there, or rehearses there, and probably lives in the garage in the sector. Ray’s on Cardboard Derek Jones’ side. But… to Kidd Tower! What do we have here? A thick slice of Jeogeot and Middletown history. Middletown is the largest city of Jeogeot past, present, future. It was huge, simply huge. You cannot imagine. You helped in the building. You built a sector *there*.

bb:

The Kidd Tower originally existed in Middletown. When did Middletown become Meddletown, or did it ever?

Hucka D.:

Obvious. When Dr. Blood entered the picture. Dr. Blood organized the Kidd Tower so that MaN was eliminated. The Kidd was just a kid.

bb:

Kidd Tower’s always been attached to Tower of A. Mann and Big Boy in past, present, future.

Hucka D.:

Good, yes.

bb:

Is VWX Town a slice of Middletown?

Hucka D.:

Yes!

bb:

The philosophy of Middletown — give this a stab tonight — Middletown itself started in the M and N. 3 sims of basically the same name — all starting with “Yeo”. Three clustered around the M and N level, the 13th and 14th of the vertical column of Jeogeot recognized by Middletown priests, scientists, artists.

Hucka D.:

Yes. (pause) Middletown.

bb:

Big E or Biggie was found on the shores of the Korean Channel — called the Korean Channel at first — and taken directly west to Middletown — this M and N centrality. From it was distilled the Kidd Tower. Was the X-Spot Gallery around then?

Hucka D.:

Yes! (pause) Or no.

—–

bb:

I just had Baker Bloch walk up the whole Kidd Tower, and he thinks, through me, that the intersection with the Simple Wunderlich pictures may be the most meaningful part. Here’s his blog:

http://simplewunderlich.wordpress.com/

And his big zoo is actually in a sim caddycorner to Philudoria [home of VWX Town], to the northwest. Interesting, eh?

Hucka D.:

Simple helped you with Middletown, plain and simple.

—–

bb:

Middletown was too simple of a name. Too Simple. So Yuja moved in and changed Middle to Meddle to add spice and interest. Complexity. 2001-Echoes was probably born here. The monolith of the movie comes from Big E (!)
