Okay, I'm going to try to sort this out now. Bear with me as I try to sum all this up.
The universe, our physical 3D reality as we know it, is in fact a larval stage, the chrysalis that is Horus, waiting to be born (you could call this state Osiris). We are all the larva of 5th dimensional magic mirror entities (according to the script), but we don't perceive ourselves that way because, living in a 3D world, we can't see things from above, like the gnostic Sophia we've been blinded by the physical world and we can only see in the linear. Horus the starchild cannot be born (and likewise the universe as a larval stage) cannot evolve until we become self-aware of what we truly are: a massive reality shift triggered by a critical mass of human thought is needed for us to evolve to the next stage of our evolution, the supercontext, where all is one and everyone gets what they wants because they'd be like... gods or something.
Time is a hologram with dimensions, all happening at once. But there are places existing outside of time, outside of the universe hologram: Our universe is the cross-section of two hyperuniverses, one healthy, one sick. The healthy one is trying to save us before it disengages from it's sick twin (I guess they disengage in 2012). This is where the gnostic theory is important. Anyway, because time in the Invisibles cosmology is not linear, analomies that do not make sense if you think in linear terms suddenly make sense (like an Archon appearing in 2012). Because time is "One simple, obvious thing" bits and pieces of us can exist anywhere on the time spectrum. Takashi states something along the line that time is flat (like a game board) and can only be accessed from "above", which is what the timesuits (and the fiction suits) are for. Robin uses the time suit in 1998 and goes "above" the board, seeing everything at once. I presume A'Dreams does something similiar to this. In The Invisibles time is a repeating fractal leading up to one final event: The death of the larval stage and the birth of Horus (one birth, one death to use an earlier quote posted here).
Anyway, what John and KM see in Philadelphia, as noted earlier, was the evolutinary process seen from above, perceived by our limited 3D organic consciousness. They see a discarded time suit. John tries it on and becomes a 4D being, and realises what the universe really is. He steps off the board, as said earlier, then re-asserts himself into the "game" at various points.
What Jack sees at the end of 3.2 is how humans really look: brain-trees, a "finger" of the universe, etc. This is what humans look like when they leave their bodies behind and advance to the next mode (as Tom said humans had to do waaaaaay back in Volume 1).
Time begins to speed up as we near 2012 because the larva is beginning to gain a type of self-awareness (note the speaker at Dulce in Black Science 2 that says this complexity is a sign that the larva is getting self-aware of itself). By 2012 humans finally figure out what they are and the Supercontext assimilates us (just as the Archons are assimilated when they realise what they truly are, both at Westminster Abbey and in 2012 (though in that former case Jack probably sees them as "not-self" elements that must be merged with, just as John A'Dreams merged with his "not-self" when he allowed himself to be modified by the Outer Church. The battle between The Invisibles and the Outer Church is needed because it helps the larva develop a sense of self-awareness, as I pointed out above (and is mentioned in the final issue). But I digress.
How do the Invisibles figure into all this? The Invisibles, like everyone else, are an aspect of the mass cosmic spell designed to bring Horus into birth. As Dane noted the Invisibles are "doctors of the soul". Somehow the universe is stuck in the larval stage and needs to get out of it. The Invisibles main mission is to get the universe to that next stage, out of the larval stage, to wake us all up, they are the Gnostic messengers (just like the Blind Chessman/Gnostic Satan serves as a messenger of sorts and the first Invisible). The only problem is their method of doing this is flawed, but they fix that in Volume 3. As Flint says, the Invisibles are an immune program triggered by the Barbelith buoy when the game crashed and embedded the player (The magic mirror god that goes both backwards and fowards?) The Invisibles is an antibody fighting a virus (the virus being the archons preventing humanity from knowing about the supercontext and the 5d universe: they don't want the change to happen, they want to be in control forever. They fear change, as Fanny points out to Quimper in "Black Science 2", while Fanny, an Invisible, is represented by the butterfly, a creature that goes through a chrysalis phase). This whole inocculation/anti-body theme is mentioned in the final issue as being crucial to the larval's sense of self-awareness. The Invisibles, Miles et al. are all part of that spell, and both the Invisibles and Sir Miles work for the Harlequin/King of Yellow Scarves, a 4D entity working to get humanity out of the larval stage ("Prepare for download"). When the universe becomes the supercontext and the Barbelaith (a life support system/placenta that needs to die so the universe can evolve) "dies", it says "Prepare for download". The evolution process has gone back on course, the Archon "computer virus" has been defeated, and the metamorphisis can begin. In this manner the Invisible spell/computer virus protection software was a success. Humans slough off their bodies and become 5D magic mirror entities (though I'm not sure if we're the brain trees at the prsent moment and, at the merge of the Supercontext, leave behind both our 3d organic bodies (our physical bodies) and our 4D body representations (the brain tree that unites us all?) to become the 5D magic mirror beings. But becoming the brain trees seem to make more sense as it implies a sense of cosmic unity. Whatever). We have lost the sense of individual self and not-self and merged into... well, whatever it is the Supercontext is, I'm still not quite certain. Anyway, the anti-bodies are the grays, but they're just a mask worn by the larval stage to get us to the state of realising what we truly are (just like the archons are a mask created to bring about the sense of conflict the larval being needs to get a sense of self-awareness and bring about it's existence). Of course, that's just one way of looking at the whole thing.
I'm sure I glossed over a lot of shit and I know I'm still missing a lot here but I'm trying to play Devil's advocate and really try to see things from the non-linear perspective (though some of these points I have made in previous threads). Reading it now it just strikes me as the jargony gibberish I usually try to avoid, but maybe all of you are rubbing off on me.
Christ, I've gone through a lot of Tylenols trying to make sense of this blasted threasd. From now on I'm sticking to "Penis in comic" threads. |
