Daedelus is working well with mask/matter themes. I mentioned Daedelus here, directly synching with the mask theme. I also posted on Daedelus here. Chris Shen - creator of the awesome embedded film below - continues the telling of the mask story quite beautifully with the inclusion of a mask created by Will Flawn.
It's the video for "Stampede Me" a track from Daedelus' Righteous Fists of Harmony EP released on Brainfeeder - a label recently posted on here. The themes in the film synch up very nicely with PRR's weave. Masks have been running through as a strong undercurrent. Masks are an awesome metaphor for our ego. Zooming out a bit, they do a great job summarising all matter.
The film shares these themes while expanding on existential crisis. The mask of matter shrouds what you really are from who you think you are. You will need to die before you transcend this stuff.
We see the masquerading, red-delta, lucha libre protagonist shuffle through the backstreets alone. Thrashing random inanimate objects as he passes them. Things change once the glass breaks. Glass breaking is good for conveying paradigm shifts. In this film it forshadows introspection. The outcome here is that the mask disintegrates/burns.
Chris Shen's Chroma-Lapse effect does well entraining with 42 - the angle at which a rainbow is visible, Deep Thought's answer to life the universe and everything and a number that is borne from the alchemical symbol for tin and the astrological symbol for Jupiter:
This film is 4:20 long.
Expanding further on the Jupiter-glyph we can resolve 3 numerical characters. 4 & 2 as we have already done though we can also draw out a 1. So 124, 142, 214, 241, 412 & 421 are numbers that all resonate well with Jupiter. With this in mind, we capture a still and see what is happening at 2:14.
The masked one has just crossed over via shattering glass. He's still pacing, though he's now on the SUREWAY. This Way would appear to be a golden way, like a yellow brick-road that leads to OZ. The speed-limit sign confirms that this is the case as it's a ZO/20 ZOne. There's a red and white gem/diamond shaped polygon on the wall. Closer investigation will show that the SUREWAY sign has a picture of Earth on it. Earth and hEart are anagrams. This synchs up with a strong diamond heart theme floWing through the synchroverse. I posted on Gonjasufi, Flying Lotus and Timothy Saccenti with diamond+heart themes. Listening to Daedelus' lyrics you can hear that he says the word "impenetrable" several times during "Stampede Me", further resonating with qualities that a diamond espouses. Finally, maskman's entrainment with Christ/Jesus or rather G-Zeus can be noted byt he way of the SUREWAY sign. Zeus and Jupiter are interchangeable as the Greek Zeus' Roman equivalent is Jupiter.
Saying "Stampede me" is requesting that you be stampeded. It is a request that you be crushed. This is the call that the dead man makes. The deadman sees through matter and is at peace with it. The Chroma-Lapse effect here illustrates the spectrum by which we visually experience matter breaking up as if the channel has been changed. Maskman's been assisted by the ligtning flash epiphany delivery of Zeus in order to receive the opportunity to consciously experience death - a life without fear - unbound from the perception of matter as a prison.
Peace
UPDATE
Just recalling that Daedelus and Doom did a track together on Deadelus' "Exqisite Corpse" record called "Impending Doom".
Yes, agreed with the very transpersonal themes here. It's as if to say go ahead, "stampede me", I am "impenetrable" anyway.
You know it. I'd love to read those lyrics. I have deciphered a few without an actual transcript. You clearly have been listening to them too, Katie.
Peace
