Welcome to the Other Side of the Looking Glass ⏳🪞
For the last year, I've been on a pretty wild ride! In July 2024, I opened a time machine!
You see I have a bin of journals that are my prized possessions (I've been writing and channeling Source since I am 3). Last year I started going through the bin and I found a folder that seemed to have random things in it, all from the years 1988-1999.
This is going to sound more than esoteric 😂....
There are many drawings in the folder, some were faces I saw in visions I had while staring at my candle as an 11/12-year-old. Other pictures I drew were of the "War of the Worlds" (I used to love the book), Jim Carey in the Mask, Simba in the Lion King, Kurt Cobain (one of my obsessions), Tweety Bird, and a whole bunch of other cartoons like South Park, for example. I also have drawings of a comic book series I was creating back then and a drawing of people from all different religions coming together to drink a Coca-Cola (I won a nationwide Coca-Cola drawing contest when I was in elementary school. See comments for info).
This folder also had pages ripped out from a magazine called "The FACE." I used to hang out in the Village in Manhattan as a teenager and this was one of the "neighborhood" magazines. I kept the pages because they were of Ethan Hawke. He is one of my all-time favorite actors. From 2017-2019 I had a lot of my childhood dreams come true, one of them was meeting Ethan Hawke (I ended up meeting him a few times). So much was stirring in my spirit those years and then the global pandemic kind of killed all those dreams.
Anyway, so last July as I am going through this folder, I see that Ethan is standing in a "liminal space," a hallway filled with doors (it also had to do with the color Green, in particular army green. Back then I used to wear my grandfathers army shirt and gear all the time, I started wearing it again in 2020 and he died in 2024 as did my father). When I turned the page there was this Smirnoff ad that said, "The OTHER SIDE" (Pictures below). I did a few google searches last year on the magazine and other things but this week it has all come around full circle.
The ad showed a dark room with light streaming through, and what looks like workout equipment [SHADOW WORK!!!!]. However, through the glass bottle you can see restraints and chains on the wall, but they are open like a prisoner has been set free [Bono-"It took my whole life, but I got the keys to cages!"] So I just took it to mean that I was finally free and on the other side of the darkness, unshackled! (Also in the folder were the pamphlets I was given by the police when I was raped.)
A few days ago, I had an amazing breakthrough experience in meditation. I made a long personal post in the SHIFT Academy about it... In that experience, I saw my future self and I had children. I wrote off having children of my own for a while now, my ex couldn't have kids, but it was always one of my deepest desires. At first, I completely rejected the experience because it is too painful to believe in something like this again.
However, later that day I was on Instagram and I saw something about a model I had a fun night with back in the 90's when we were locked inside Armani in Soho doing Christmas shopping and sipping champagne together. I decided to Google her. When I googled her name the most prominent responses included the fact that she had children in her 50s (I don't think she carried them). Without pressing on any links I noticed that the suggested searches were of other women who had children in their 50s (and did carry them in their own bodies). This changed my whole perspective. I have been so used to hearing how hard and horrible it is to have children in your 40s and I never heard much about women having children in their 50's so this was new to me.
Within hours, I was no longer pushing away the idea that I could still have children one day (I am not in my 50s yet), I just accepted it as a possibility without holding on to the outcome. It really was a fast shift, and it showed me how much I have integrated.
Another thing that came up in that meditation was a spiderweb and Gwen Stefani singing "I'm walking into spider webs so leave a message and I'll call you back."
As I have been untangling the web, God keeps speaking to me through music and specifically music videos.
Today I went to go watch Miley Cyrus' new video that just premiered, featuring my old model friend and all of a sudden I'm having flashbacks of the Smirnoff advertisement in my time machine folder, which I haven't looked at since last year. I go to the folder and start looking through things again. This time I dug a little further into the Smirnoff ad. It took some digging, but I found it! Here is some of what google Ai had to say about it:
- The large Smirnoff bottle appears to distort the view of the mechanical objects behind it, making them appear different or altered, similar to how objects might look through a looking glass or mirror.
- "The Other Side" Tagline: The tagline "THE OTHER SIDE" further emphasizes the idea of a different perspective or altered reality, a core theme in Carroll's book, "Through the Looking Glass" where Alice enters a world of reversed logic and appearances by stepping through a mirror.
- Visual Metaphor: The ad uses the visual metaphor of looking through the vodka bottle as if it were a looking glass, suggesting that consuming Smirnoff might lead to a different perception or experience, akin to Alice's journey into a fantastical, altered world.
- Visual Interpretation: The visual elements in the advertisements such as the bottle appearing to be a portal or revealing a different scene, reinforce this concept of stepping into another realm or seeing things from a new vantage point, aligning with the "looking glass" metaphor.
"The campaign often featured imagery that played on the idea of seeing a different, perhaps more intriguing or unexpected, perspective "through" or "on the other side" of the Smirnoff bottle. For instance, some advertisements showed a contrasting image or scene when viewed through the bottle, suggesting a transformation or a hidden reality."
Then I found videos of commercials that coincided with the Smirnoff campaign and they are all about alternate and parallel realities! Smirnoff is RUSSIAN!!!! I guess I have been Transurfing Reality for more than 30 years! 🤣
Guys there is so much more but it is difficult to put into words.
Also the common year with some of these things is 1995, exactly 30 years ago.
The Face Magazine was from 1995
Smirnoff ad 1995
Spiderwebs by No Doubt 1995
Another thing I included on my original post about the Spiderweb was I heard this was my "Final Fantasy" because it is true (this also was connected to a Sia video I posted here in the tribe. Final Fantasy 7 used to be my favorite video game back in 90s! Yes, video games... I was once a Nintendo champion! 😂 ). Today as I'm looking in my time machine folder there was 1 other page I saved from a magazine (I had only saved the pages with Ethan Hawke). This other page was a Versace ad of a red and white checkered dress with white boots, and the other side was another shoe advertisement with a list of stores you can find them in. Today I realized that the Versace ad was mimicking the "FINISH LINE" checkered flag usually used on a race track!
All I know is, I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE! Almost ALL of the other things in the folder either happened in the last few years or are happening. It is a literal picture of the here and now even though the folder is from 30 years ago.
There was also one piece of paper that was from Chorus in middle school. The songs that were on it were "Day by Day" from Godspell and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." I sang these songs in 1988/89!
Day by day
Day by day
Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day
Oh...
Day by day
I've been singing this song for 37 years! It seems like I weaved together a trippy Godspell in this folder!
Any insights?????? Has anybody ever experienced anything like this????
