Red envelopes ,Red Eyes and Jedi Smurfs
In Chinese culture there is a tradition around the time of Chinese new year (the lunar new year as opposed to the solar new year) of placing money in red envelopes and giving them to the Lions along with a cabbage that does the new years lion dance as an offering to the deities to bestow good health and good fortune this money is usually distributed amongst local charities.
I usually make a donation in a red envelope at this time of year to the charity of my Buddhist/ Taoist /kung Fu master so it was no surprise to receive his email of where to send the red envelope donation, I was however surprised to receive on the same day a demand for donation and loyalty from another “authority” of a more dubious nature.
Faced with Hobson’s choice by these synchronistic demands, It was interesting to note the supernatural advice of my daily tarot card which suggested In considering my priorities I should support those organisations/individuals with a track record of supporting me.
My mind turned from my red envelope donation to the reddish purple bruising above my eye I had received that day in an “accident”, giving me a new slant on the term "red eye", it also reminded me of the lineage ancestor of my kung fu style "red eyebrow." I have come to see the term "red eye" as indication of some temporary or permanent altered state of consciousness in which messages are received . this idea has been developed by a number of synchromystic bloggers recently.

I have on occasion wondered about the supposed supernatural abilities of telepathy etc hinted at in descriptions of the old masters ,was red eyebrow one such master?
Until now I have never blogged on the similarities between the term "Red Eye and "Jedi" , The Jedi are in the story also Masters with supernatural powers so I smiled when I saw an article in the most recent Hackney Today about The new “Joint Enforcement Development Initiative” J.E.D.I. being trialled in the nightclubs of Hoxton/Shoreditch by a body made up of hackney councillors and police with a remit to investigating Health and Safety concerns in the nightlife.
This new initiative reminded me of a story I heard years ago of a London Jungle DJ Smurf who was renowned for playing at Kool Fm and Jungle fever and had the authority to shut down the heaviest raves on grounds of Fire /Health & Safety matters.
I have blogged before about smurfs and hinted at a smurf/jedi connection ( first highlighted to me by the Global Communications/Evolution DJ’s aka the Jedi Knights!) Who also first introduced me to the concept of lucid dreaming
To me the Smurfs represent a smurf/earth consciousness which has as fundamental principle Health and Safety

White Rabbits, Spirals and the Jupiter Finger
I've recently written about the symbolism of White Rabbits and Spirals in my conciousness these past few weeks and today I read a post on the "sync whole" about a film I've never seen "The last mimzy" which seemed to connect the dots.
It confirmed my suspicion that the white rabbits represent the vessel that travel through the stargates represented by (black top hats or spirals ) the rabbits represent the travelers that brings back and forth messages,articles ,and that have the ability to travel in time /space etc.
I've just read another post on the sync whole about the Jupiter finger (seems that just as "the last mimzy points" to the spiral being the stargate so does jupiters finger point the way to the stargate of accension.This remided me of the buddha finger , an ancient mudra referenced in kung fu films but also the spiral tribe pointing hand.

Thee Aliases ov JSteveKane
My Forename is Steve which resonates; Steve Strange , Steve Austin, Steve McQueen, Steve Ignorant and Stevie G.
At school my nicknames were not cool and kind of cruel the earliest being "Joe 90", I've always been a slim character and I remember the ridicule of being called an "Ethiopian", a "Bean Pole" and a "Leper"
My skater friends in Bristol called me "Fiddler" along with my two brothers because my mum played the violin so collectively we were the "fiddlers three".
At Uni I was called "Bad Luck Steve" for a while after I passed out behind a sofa at the student union bar having had too much to drinks
on my birthday. No one saw me at closing time so I was locked in. I came round at about 3am and set off the fire alarm. I had to be released by the night guard.
I was called "maggot" while at university by a friend who paid her tuition fees with money earned as a dominatrix.
After University I worked as a counsellor on a American summer camp in the early nineties where I was nicknamed "Waldo" after the character in the "Where's Waldo/Wally" books.
On being asked about my JSteveKane alias, I explain that its a throwback to the time I created my hotmail account and the DJ personna I was using at the time. Other DJ "aliases" I have used included; "The Refresher", "The Spirit Guides ", "Deckhard", "Replicant 23" , "Steve P Tribe", "The Smurf", "Zero B5", "Blue Five", "Steve Skywalker", "Steve J. K. ", "J Steve Kane", "J.S.K." and "Jay Ess Kay."
"JSteveKane" was a homage to the pioneering British breakbeat techno producer "JSAULKANE" who was a pioneer of early UK Hip Hop & Breakbeat techno not unlike alongside DJ Hype and Shut up and Dance. JSAULKANE/Depth Charge like the Wu Tang Clan was renowned for his love of ,and overt use of samples, many from Kung Fu films.
The original "Kane" in Hip Hop was the legendary "Big Daddy Kane" . Who was sampled in numerous Jungle/Drum and Bass tunes.
So who is the real me? maybe they all are different parts of me ? And when I first started this post I had just gained another ;-)
DAD
Other Kane references within Jungle/Drum and Bass include the jungle producer "Marvellous Kane" and DJ Kane (Essence of Chi) and I have documented my own resonances with Steve Kane at the lazerdrome.
Kane also reminded me of the character "Caine" from the seventies T.V. series "Kung Fu" which I loved as a kid and played by David Carradine who later stared in "Kill Bill" , which I love. Kane also resonates "Citizen Kane" by Orson Welles
The K also resonates King as in Stephen King
Stephen resonates Stephen Spielberg
When I joined a Tai Chi/Kung Fu school a few years later The Master called me "White Steve" to differentiate me from my double "Black Steve" (and from Chinese Steve) , this alias is used to this day. Soon after my teacher opened his Temple in Old Street, I got a job nearby at the Flagship offices Sitel. I worked there alongside Stevie B . It was there I was nicknamed "Kung Fu Vicar", due to the second hand grey suit I wore and my interest in Kung Fu.
Since I began playing Capoeira I've had a few nicknames "Judas" for betraying my Master (East London Capoeira/Senzala), "Alfinette" (Vitoria de Conquista ), "Garibu" (Marrom Capoeira), "Estive" / "Steve Austin" / "Courigitto" / "Korujito" / "Courigitto-Sonhador" / "Monitor Steve" (Capoeira Angola Palmares)
Estive/Stevie P resonates Stevie Pamares, Steve Patchway , ESP , Steve P Tribe and Steve Parker .
Recently I had a dream in which I declared my name as "Steve Ingles".
On the Jedi tip , as well as "Steve Skywalker" I have been "Blue 5" and "Zero B5".
On a "Zero" theme I was once in the video for "Fade to Grey" by "Mark Oh" and have also used "Mark 4 O B" and "Steve O" .
Steve Grey resonates; Grey Wolf , Gandalf the Grey , Grey aliens, and 50 shades of corporate success & anonymity. Stephen G resonates Stephen Grant (Moonknight) and Stephen Gerrard the footballer. In different moments I have thought about buying replica England shirts with Stevie G and Kane on the back.

White Rabbits
Part I
I've been seeing lots of white rabbits lately and they have a deep resonance for me. At the weekend I went to Bristol and my neice showed me her favourite cuddly toy called "magic rabbit" (its white). I noticed last week the white rabbit on the titles to "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" , and how they sync'd with the white rabbits on a canvas poster near my home by clapton pond,
White rabbits are perhaps best know as the symbol of the stage magician or the playboy bunny and of course there's the white rabbit in Lewis Carols "Alice" books.
White rabbits are perhaps best know as the symbol of the stage magician or the playboy bunny and of course there's the white rabbit in Lewis Carols "Alice" books.
In the Matrix ,Neo's path towards awakening was symbolised in various ways one of which was "following the white rabbit." A few years later The White Rabbit symbol appeared again in another film as Frank's Halloween costume in Donnie Darko.
I had a personal experience with going down the "rabbit hole" of the white rabbit in the nineties when "Lord Sabre " from Sabresonic / Sabres of Paradise used the imagery around the same time I was reading Robert Anton Wilsons "Illuminatus" R.A.W (who early in his career wrote for playboy) wrote a commentary on the white rabbit in his "cosmic trigger" trilogy.
Part II
"The pookah takes many forms, but is most famous when he appears as a giant, six-foot white rabbit - which is the form most Americans know from the play and film, "Harvey". Whatever form the pookah takes, he retains the special ability of his species, which is like that of Thoth in Egyptian legend, Coyote in Native American myth or Hanuman the Divine Monkey in Hindu lore - he can move us from one universe, or Belief System, into another, and he likes to play games with our ideas about 'reality.''"
From Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger Volume 2.
Part III
I started this post on 30th November, so was amazed when the following morning my colleague at work told me about the expression"white rabbits white rabbits white rabbits" which it is apparently good luck to say on the first day of each month.A number of conversations have occured since then and I have been reminded of the further rabbit resonances in my life ; Brear Rabbit (the trickster) which my dad used to read to me as a child, the rabbits of watership down, the "grey" rabbit of bugs bunny, the sexy rabbit (hare) of the cadbury's caramel adds and the film "Who framed Roger Rabbit?"

Owls
Recently a blog by Chris Knowles (The Secret Sun) drew my attention to Mike Clelland "The Owl Guy" who wrote "The Messengers" a book about Owls,Synchronicity and the UFO abductee". In the book they mention an observed relationship between "contactees" and people whose mothers having an unusual interest in Owls.
This resonated with me because when I was about 10 years old my mother suggested to me I start an "Owl collection" I wasn't interested in the idea ,but my mother was really into it. She owned a green morris minor with the registration plate "owl" and had placed a little cuddly toy owl in the back windscreen.
She proceed to give me "owls" at every opportunity Christmas, birthdays, on holiday etc. She would buy them in gift shops. I had china owls, posters, paintings, mobiles, pencils, key rings etc. you name it. My brothers were not the slightest bit jealous because they always knew the extra present I got would be an owl!
I never thought much of the significance apart from briefly when we studied a book entitled "the owl service" in English Literature .
When I first wrote this note while I was watching the qualifying in the Brazillian GP they showed an Owl sitting by the track , then the camera switch to one of the cars No 23 , The illuminati will know why I smiled
It wouldn't have warranted a note , but seconds later i received a flyer reminding me of the forthcoming Ugly Funk / Vinyl Pleasures "Last Revolution" party at the Foundry at which a friend "DJ wrongspeed" is playing at . I quickly Googled "DJ Wrongspeed" to see his latest podcast is entitled "A bad day for Owling Championships"
Over Christmas I've been resonating the Blue cats ,Blue moons and Smurfs today I switched to Blue Owls and at the very moment a friend from work commented on my new profile pic it I saw an advert for centreparks featuring an owl .. anyone for a holiday ?
Part 3 August 2010
I'm not sure if I noticed the Owl in David Bowies "Labyrinth"
I kind of forgot about owls after my mother passed on , more recently my Capoeira teacher gave me the nick name of "corugito" which I think means " Little owl.

This was because I reminded him of cartoon character in Brazil of a little owl with glasses.
Corugito was also the "familiar" of "She Ra" Princess of Power" the opposite number of "Orco" from the "He Man" Masters of the Universe cartoon. Later my teacher renamed me "corugito sonhador "The owl dreamer"

Part 3 August 2010
Just got back from a family holiday in Cornwall where my mothers family came from, I noticed there is a place called the "Screech Owl Sanctuary " near Newquay and something was tugging at me to make a visit.
I very much relate Owls to my Mum (Rip) and spirits /aliens so it was interesting when I saw a post by Everett about their appearance in the film "the fourth kind" and ancient Sumerian culture references / native American culture references.
"The owls are not what they seem"
Wolves
For about a week or so I'd been experiencing a succession W.W. synchronicities then I saw Arrowsmith had posted about the WOLF/FLOW on his blog.
Today I was reading the latest post by Neil Kramer on "The Cleaver" ( which included lots of images of wolves ) No sooner had I finished reading it than Shakira's new tune "She Wolf" came on MTV in the background.
I'm concious that far right White supremacist Facist/Nazi organisations (BNP/NF/EDL etc) have started to use White Wolf symbolism just like they have tried to appropriate the history of Winston Churchill and take ownership" of Union Jack. I think it's interesting the far right groups resonate with the wolf as I believe their "politics of hate" is a result not just of ignorance but a deep seated fear.
Wolves hunt in packs, preying on the vulnerable, like many dogs when hunting them smell the fear. These far right political leaders do similar things using the fear in their potential recruits.
The Buddha and later Yoda said "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred and hatred leads to suffering...." and this is sadly a description of the activity of the far right.
Like the "K" Liberation Front my instinct is to challenge far right organisations over ownership of language and symbols which should be common currency.I first became concious of the wolf archetype with the children's favourite "Little Red Riding Hood "
I first became aware of the werewolf in the seldom remembered american TV series "Lucan". A more typical werewolf "Professor Lupus" afflicted by his transformation at the full moon caught my imagination in the Harry Potter Books.
In my mid teens I was exposed to the more "adult" version of little red riding hood and became more aware of sexual themes related to the werewolf archetype. Human sexuality unfettered, like an untrained dog, can have dangerous consequences. Informational exchange with Thee Temple of Psychick Youth reintroduced me to the Wolf archetype to in relation to "Sleeping Dogs" and the awakening of conciousness. Energetic practises relating to the use of "chi" or "kundalini" energy to raise consciousness, makes one aware of the uses of sexual energy in ways other than carnal pleasures or procreation.
The Wolfen by Whitley Striber is a dark take on extra terrestrials descended from canids preying on humanity.
A positive spin in on wolves was provided in "Dances with Wolves" featuring Kevin Kostner
In Capoeira there's an term "The Lone Wolf" used for a player that for whatever reason doesn't have a group or Master to call their own. Since moving away from London, while I haven't left my group or severed ties with my Master, I have felt somewhat of a "Lone Wolf"
The "Lone Wolf" is also used to refer to "The Ronin" - The Samurai with no Lord or Master wandering the land providing security for hire.
So to me the wolf represents the awakened conciousness of a warrior , not the vicious hunter driven unconsciously by fear.
