The Alchemy of Ghostbusters



"Only a Carpathian would come back to life now and choose New York! 

If you had brain one in that huge melon on top of your neck, you would be living the sweet life out in Southern California's beautiful San Fernando Valley!* "

[ * The Jerusalem of Sex ]

Dr. Peter "Pete" Venkman
President of the Largest Paranormal Investigation and Elimination etc. Etc....


The World is Changed.

We are now experiencing life in The World after 2012, and women have all the power.

Though many do not get know it yet, there are billions more that feel it, even if they do not see it.

And this will increase.

Boudicca is awake, and all her slaughtered daughters and Grand Daughterhood hear her cry to arise and turn again to glory.

The world is becoming more female.


The Mighty Thor Odinson, God of Thunder, Lord of the Storm, Malkeith's Bane, Slayer of the Wyrm, Guardian of the World-Ash Tree, Troll-Smasher, Hammer of the Goblin Horde, Crown Prince of Asgard and Conqueror of the Nine Worlds says :

"Hello, Ghostbusters, whaddya want?!"


"And will that be cash or charge?
No Diner's Club, American Express or Luncheon Vouchers.
Yes, we can accept a cashier's check or Visa."


THIS DOESNT APPEAR TO BE WORKING...

WHY ISNT THIS WORKING?

THIS USUALLY WORKS...

THIS SHOULD BE KILLING YOU...

WHY CAN'T I MAKE YOU DIE?!?


I learnt the by reading JLA : Earth2 by Grant Morrison - Gozer CAN'T win by manifesting in 1984 the way she did - because she's a girl.

Affect all of the Sheena Easton 9 to 5 hairdos you like, lady - as a deity, you absolutely cannot manifest physically in female form in the year 1984 and win...!!

She has no power here - she cannot even smite three ordinary mortal males.

They challenge her with maleness.


 They meet her at The Gate with autistic bureaucratic authoritarian pedantry, shouting, name calling, abusive language, mysogeny and finally, with their cocks, before ultimately rubbing all of their cocks together to make her go away, and are successful in their efforts to block her claim to power.

Four mortal men embarrass and humilate and vanquish a goddess, and weren't even killed.

There is essentially a nuclear detonation on the roof of that building, with a wall of flame and Godzilla-style atomic fire so intense it instantly incinerates and liquifies several hundred tonnes of highly processed sugar in barely a fraction of a split second and there isn't even a scratch on them.

Their hair isn't even burnt. 

Dan Ackroyd, Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis claim  on the commentary track that this is "a joke", but I don't think it is - for one thing, it lacks a punchline or a point at which you are obviously meant to reflect on the absurdity and laugh, especially as it is so deeply embedded in the absolute complete dramatic apex of the entire picture.

I think this is intended (on some level) to reflect the fact that Gozer, as a girl, coming into The World of 1984 in the dying days of The Age of Men can't  hurt them because the dominant patriarchy makes them invincible.

No Bitches Don't B catchin no Ghosts.


[Mr. Stay-Puft is still too female because he is soft, sweet and gooey inside - YIELD to my nuclear physics!!]

All of the Politically Correct Anglophones out there are now racing to call that last series of remarks sexist and mysogonist. Well, only in America. And England.

The Universe is GENDERED, along with everything in it.

This has nothing to do with sex or sexuality.

This has mostly been eliminated from the English Language, except where it relates to ships and boats, but EVERYTHING in nature, like nature has a male and a female aspect to it, with one or other or them dominating - speakers of French or any romance language will be easily able to tell you why rivers and streams are called "she" while the planet Jupiter is a "he".

Gozer is a god - and as such, whenever he/she/it decides to vibrate it's energy downwards and intersect with the world of materialism and make it's pressence felt by intersecting with this dimensional plane of our three dimensions as a projection of her higher dimensional being, 

"It's whatever it wants to be." 

In 1984, in the Age of Men, females were wives, girlfriends, secretaries, mistresses, mothers, sisters, whores, nuns....

In 2016, Woman was The Goddess. 

But that's because the aeon flipped around in 2012 and the Age of Men has now passed.

Men were the Big Swinging Dicks on the block in 1984.

They didn't have time to mess around with no "goddess" back in the Reagan years.

Not since Boudicca, Asherah and Judy left town.

So let's just show this Pre-historic Bitch how we do things down town


Conversely, as a man and former earthly King, Vigo CAN win, and is far more successful because he manifests as a male destroyer warrior / sorcerer and seizes a baby man-child whilst brutalising her mother - but he can back at a point way too near to the end of the æon, in its dying twilight when the power of Men was failing and about to fall.

And as soon as he fully coporealises and vibrates down to BECOME a man (Ray), he can only do so parasitically by latching onto an existing male soul to draw in strength and anchor himself to this spiritual and material plain, which renders him vulnerable to attack (and defeat) by other mortal men, which then IMMEDIATELY occurs.

And Men are able to do effectively and totally vanquish Vigo when he manifests by using a combination attack volley of Male and Female weaponry to destabilise and disrupt his manifestation on this plain, jam all his frequencies and exorcise him completely from this level of reality - 

2 particle beams + 1 hose-down of vulva-pink mood slime =


"Vhi am I covered in goo...?"

Hey, man - I LOVE YOU."

A 1989 solution


[ I think it may be one of the Fettucchinis... ]


It's actually VERY interesting, there is Millenialism all over Ghostbusters 2, even down to the promotional campaign; just like with the Paul McGann 8th Doctor TV-Movie, although seemingly even MORE arbitrary and pedantic.

When Prince wrote about the End of the World and Judgement Day and called it 1999, he knew full well and never intended it to literally mean that the world would come to an end at midnight on Dec. 31st 1999 (or Dec. 31st 2000, come to that), just as when Rod Steiger talks of images and numbers sometimes appearing upside down in dreams and prophecy, such as 666 instead of 1999 in my personal favourite guilty apocalyptic action flick pleasure, End of Days. It's self-evidently tongue-in-cheek, ironic and intended to take the piss out of Bible Literalists and fundamentalists generally.

Vigo's intended takeover and manifestation, his little interdimensional happening is specifically scheduled to occur (he PLANNED it that way) at mid-night on New Years' Eve - just after 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time, on December 31st 1989.... Which means absolutely NOTHING...

Unless we are talking symbolically and alchemically and thinking magickally about somebody DESPERATE to get in early and beat the deadline to get as much prep time in as possible ahead of 2012.

And the trailer even plays this up even more than it already is present in the movie itself :


"At the stroke of midnight of the last decade of the Twentieth Century...!"

Which means WHAT, exactly....?

Well, means that we're on The Clock, man.

IF you are a man...

Time's running short.

Time's almost up.

And Vigo, (who, as Dan Ackroyd points out, unlike Gozer, has indeed "Lived Before" in This World as a man, as a King, and therefore actually is a ghost, and not a god (or so he thinks, in his mortal arrogance)) is determined to live (here) again as a man.

The idea of soul-hopping into a willing female host vessel never even occurs to him in his male-chauvinist arrogance.

The Egyptian Mystery Religion and the African tradition of spirituality teaches us that we are 

BORN DEAD into this world, we BECOME ALIVE, and then we ASCEND...

This is why Vigo needs a child, a baby (and, due to his vast excess of male vanity and presumption, a male child) to attach himself to and bond with as his new host body and live again in This World

Oscar Barrett is an empty vessel (an "ARK") of life and experience (practically), so there is nothing there to displace - it's like Professor X's soul-hopping into the brain of an adult "vegetable" at the end of X-Men : The Final Stand, but done logically and rationally.

Oscar has not yet lived and so thus is not yet fully alive, and thus fresh meat to sustain the necromancer.

He can mesmerize and corrupt Janoz to do his bidding and be his eyes and ears and hands on Earth, whilst empowering him with Earthly and spirit-realm magicks, but he can't occupy his body and displays his rather annoying and toadying personality.

This is why he doesn't just jump straight out of the painting and fully possess Ray in the first place - Ray is fully and truly alive, so he has to first enslave his will using magicks and hypnosis from the painting before he can get anywhere near actually manifesting inside Ray's body, but there is also far too much life there, of Ray's life to displace - it must require an enormous effort to push Ray's soul out of the way, and it's quite simply not sustainable

Vigo, for those few seconds, is a true parasite rather than Vigo reborn as Ray. 




Something truly awesome I only just realised :


I always dismissed that final scene in Ghostbuster 2 as being silly, goofy and nonsensical - why would exorcising Vigo's shade from his evil portrait using mood slime make a new painting of the four Ghostbusters as Gregorii Watchersrs as protectors over the infant Oscar? 

That's stupid, right? That doesn't make any sense.

That's not what's happening - Egon specifically says, whilst examining the painting up close,  "Early Rennaissance, I think...", when we know that Vigo['s head] died in 1505, which is LATE Rennaissance, which would have been when he cursed the painting and pur a portion of his essence into it to act as his talisman or mandala to anchor his spirit and act as a guide-rail drag his full consciousness back into our physical realm of material reality.

Such dark magicks doubtless called for a ritual sacrifice, destruction or corruption of something pure or innocent or beautiful to serve some awful, cruel and wicked, meaning that Vigo, or the artist he commissioned to capture a portion of his soul in the painting must have painted over an existing pure and beautiful image already on the canvas and trapped it underneath the paint to sustain its own need for corrupt destruction and irrational domination whilst he remained locked inside the portrait trapped inside various museum vaults, locked in storage, waiting for the right person to possess to once his strength began to ooze back out the canvas  and break free.

But his reliance on the mood slime was ultimately his downfall, and it betrayed and abandoned him when he thought his control over it was complete, certain and absolute.

He thought himself the Master of the Ooze, but he proved to wanting in his  attempts to weild it - he took Her for granted, She proved herself a fickle beast and a subtle vixen and ultimately allied with his enemies to precipitate his downfall and ultimately She destroyed him totally.

And this is how we learn....

So, to reiterate the point, it doesn't resemble an early-Rennaissance painting from the mid-1400s it is an early-Rennaissance painting from the mid-1400s created by some mad visionary prophet of the Italian Golden  Rennaissance who really managed to capture Egon's hair right, that Vigo didn't want anybody else seeing or knowing about prior to The [his] End of the World.


Such is Male Ego....


And the moral of the story is :


Feminism cannot be controlled or brought to heal - She will always turn against you if you try to break or train Her, and she cannot be domesticated; 

Only a Fool or an Idiot would even try. 


She is of The Wild, and She is Eternal

She is the Storm and She Reaps the Whirlwind, for Hell Hath No Fury.... 

And She is my Queen.





Serve the Black Dot.

I give you 

Thor Odinson, 

Conqueor of the Nine Realms, 
Hammer of the Goblin Horde, 
Midgard's Light 
and Crown Prince of the Fabled Halls of Asgard.

Aka "Kevin".

Spook Central

Master Apartments at 310 Riverside Drive, 
New York, NY





Egon Spengler
The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space.

Ray Stantz
Cold riveted girders with cores of pure selenium.

Peter Venkman[to jailbirds] 
Everyone getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to.

Stantz[slaps Venkman up the head] 
No! Nobody ever made them like this! The architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!

Venkman
Ray, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on.

Stantz
You never studied. The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. 

Your girlfriend, Pete, lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central.



Venkman
She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. 



Four feet above her covers! She barks, she drools, she claws...



Spengler
It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building! 



Something terrible is about to enter our world, and this building is obviously the door. 



The architect's name was Ivo Shandor. I found it in Tobin's Spirit Guide

He was also a doctor. Performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. 



And then in 1920, he founded a secret society.



Venkman: Let me guess: Gozer worshippers?

Spengler: Right.

Venkman[to Stantz] 
"No studying"!



Spengler
After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. 

And he wasn't alone; he had close to a thousand followers when he died. 



They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it may actually happen!

Venkman
[singing] 
So be good, for goodness sake! Whoa! Somebody's coming! Somebody's coming!

Ray Stantz
We have to get out of here. We've gotta get a judge or something.

Zeddemore
Hey, wait a minute! Hold it! Now are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is gonna drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?!



Spengler
Sumerian, not Babylonian.



Venkman
Yeah. Big difference.
Zeddemore
No offense, guys, but I gotta get my own lawyer.

The Invisibles - Dan Aykroyd

"It means, basically, that some movies are clearly being made by Invisibles and they contain messages for other Invisibles. 

Invisibles talking to each other in their own secret language… the movies are signals, they let us know that others are out there…”


"I know what I saw."


"...When Dan came to audition for Saturday Night Live, he regularly met with John and listened to blues records. One time, Dan showed John the cover of an album by John Lee Hooker, which showed him wearing the hat and shades that would later become the Blues Brothers trademark look. 

John said 'If we ever put this together, this will be the look!'. 

The suits and the ties that they wore came from the Beatnik Era in the 50's and the 60's, where musicians would wear straight apparel, so that they could go out into straight society and not be hassled. 

Also, there was an MIB reference, y'know, to the 'Men in Black', the guys in black suits that always turn up when there are UFO sightings, and tell you to be quiet about it... "


"I was on the phone 'Sure I would love to' I look back, saw the Ford, went back like this, turned back like a half a second later, and it was gone and that car did NOT go past me.

 It did not make a U turn because I would have seen... 42nd Street, I would have seen that thing take a U turn and go away. 

That car vanished! 

That car was a cloaked vehicle of some type and whether this was like a warning to me because the guy that got out of the backseat gave me a real dirty look. That car vanished. 

I know what I saw. And it was just this fast, talking on phone, guy gives me a dirty look, talking on phone, car gone. 

That's what happened."

 “What happened was, we sold the show to the Sci Fi Channel and it was called Out There and I basically interviewed all of the people I admired in various fields of study like Colin Andrews in the crop circle movement, Linda Moulton Howe, the expert in cattle mutilation, John Mack.... I talked to him. I talked to the Allagash guys who were taken in a canoe in the trip in Maine and I, I mean, the last show we did, I had both Bassett, who has the UFO time clock and Greer, both Bassett and Greer were there. They were my two guests for the two.

Well, the show was cancelled that afternoon and I was outside, before I knew it was cancelled, in between the interviews and, uh, I was outside and Britney Spears called me because she wanted me to appear on Saturday Night Live with her. And so, I was outside having a cigarette, the phone rang, I was like, 'Hello Britney, how you doing?... Sure, of course I will...' I turned away like this (moves head to left), I turned back (moves head back towards camera) and there was a black Ford across the road, a black Ford Sedan and I was trying to look at the plate but the plate seemed kind of fuzzy and... Definitely a police car and two guys were there and a big, big tall guy got out of the backseat and he stood in the street, on 42nd Street it was. We were on 42nd Street and 8th avenue and he looked right at me and literally, I was on the phone 'Sure I would love to' I look back, saw the Ford, went back like this, turned back like a half a second later, and it was gone and that car did not go past me. It did not make a U turn because I would have seen... 

42nd Street, I would have seen that thing take a U turn and go away. 

That car vanished! That car was a cloaked vehicle of some type and whether this was like a warning to me because the guy that got out of the backseat gave me a real dirty look. That car vanished. I know what I saw. And it was just this fast, talking on phone, guy gives me a dirty look, talking on phone, car gone. That's what happened.


Then, two hours later, we were told to not continue taping and the show was cancelled and none of them would air. 

I don't know. I don't know. Was it an MIB experience? 

You know, black helicopters, military abductions that happen, people are taken and talk about being visited by military personnel and being debriefed about their abduction. 

Was it technology associated with some of these beings that are visiting? 

They wanted to warn me off or they wanted to give me verification that I was on the right track? 

I don't know. 

But I do know I turned back a second later and it takes so long for an automobile accelerating from zero to forty miles an hour to reach the corner of 8th Avenue and 42nd Street going past me and then pulling a U turn and going out towards Times Square, I would have seen that car. And I looked around. I mean, man, I was looking (!) and it was gone. So, I don't know. 

The tapes exist, I have them, we're gonna try to repackage them. We might put them out on DVD.”

"Let's redo one of those old ghost comedies, but let's use the research that's being done today. Even at that time, there was plausible research that could point to a device that could capture ectoplasm or materialization; at least visually."

The racial politics of Ghostbusters (or more likely Hollyweird in general) is mildly alarming, though...

I quote The Enemy:

Aykroyd pitched his story to director and producer Reitman, who liked the basic idea but immediately saw the budgetary impossibilities demanded by Aykroyd's first draft. At Reitman's suggestion, the story was given a major overhaul, eventually evolving into the final screenplay which Aykroyd and Harold Ramis hammered out over the course of a few months in a Martha's Vineyard bomb shelter, according to Ramis on the DVD commentary track for the movie. 

Aykroyd and Ramis initially wrote the script with roles written especially for Belushi, Eddie Murphy and John Candy. However, Belushi died due to a drug overdose [Not True] during the writing of the screenplay, and neither Murphy nor Candy could commit to the movie due to prior engagements, so Aykroyd and Ramis shifted some of these changes around and polished a basic, yet sci-fi oriented screenplay for their final draft.

The Living Legend that is Ernie Hudson, better known as Winston Zeddemore, aka "Sir Not-Appearing-on-the-Poster"



"Winston Zeddemore was written with Eddie Murphy in mind, but he had to decline the role as he was filming Beverly Hills Cop at the same time. When Murphy had the role, Zeddemore was going to be hired much earlier in the film, and would accompany the trio on their hunt for Slimer at the hotel and be slimed in place of Venkman. 

When Ernie Hudson took over, it was decided that he be brought in later to indicate how the Ghostbusters were struggling to keep up with the outbreak of ghosts."


In the first movie, Winston never ever fires his weapon (by which I mean his neutrona wand, not his large, African penis) until the final ten minutes of the film, because the lengthy sequence showing he and Ray out on a job at an old army barracks, plagued by a remarkably blonde, caucasian succubus has been deleted and re-purposed as an erotic dream inserted into the montage sequence in the middle of the movie, so we don't get to see Winston save the dumb slumbering White Man from the consequences of his own kinky sex drive.

And then he disappears after his first scene in Ghostbusters 2 and then again during the courtroom battle with the Scolleri Brothers, after the movie takes time out to make clear that he was present in the court, along with Company Directors Dr. Spengler, Dr. Stantz and Dr. Venkman, who stood accused of violating the court order placed upon Ghostbusters Inc.

Logicially and narratively, there is no reason for him to have not strapped on a proton pack and taken part in this life or death confrontation for the life of the company.

This had to be some form of racial thing, right? I mean there is just no other way.

Right..?

I understand it differently now - alchemically, magickally, symbollically, and from the lips of Dan Ayckroyd and Ivan Reitman themselves :

Ray, Egon and Peter are Company Directors of Ghostbusters as a business, as a legal entity.
(and entities, of all kinds, are what we are about discussing here)

They OWN the business.
It's a High-Tech Start-up
They OWN the franchising rights.

Winston is AN EMPLOYEE.
He earns $11,500 a year, before taxes
He is the only employee sanctioned to wear the gear and participate in professional paranormal eliminations.

(Louis has to wear a borrowed jump-suit)

He is the ONLY ONE who gets to join in with the actual business of the company and of busting ghosts.

He is THE AUDIENCE.

Ackroyd and Reitman SAID SO.

So we have to earn the right to participate in the fun by investing in the other three characters.

Likewise, they have to buy their way into our affections before you get to see any (to use Doc Brown's words) serious shit.

And, in a deft subversion of the conventions and expectations of the Magickal Negro Hollywood stereotype, he is a practical, down to earth, blue collar man (who probably used to work as a mechanic or something similar), he is the one with the most down to earth, practical Common Sense.

He doesn't get excited by spontaneous sponge migrations, he never tried to drill a hole in his own head, he doesn't get involved with possessed people, and he knows where ALL THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ARE IN THE BUILDING.

And he doesn't run around, screaming and hollering and buffoonin' around, blaming all of the Bad Craziness on all o' the Crazy White Folks for being Bad and Crazy and White, he doesn't get self-conscious or feel inferior in a room full of eggheads and PhDs, he's proud of who he is, can handle some good natured joshing and teasing from The Boss, and he's never ashamed of who he is or what he is.

He just works hard, and takes pride in his work.

Carter G. Woodson and Booker T. Washington would be proud.


That's better...

"They began to use words like - 'Universal Appeal' ..."
- Dave Chappelle


I Quote The Enemy :-
(Consider also 'The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews')

Nimoy approached Beverly Hills Cop writer Daniel Petrie, Jr. to write the screenplay when a concept that executive producer Jeffrey Katzenberg described as "either the best or worst idea in the world" arose—Star Trek fan Eddie Murphy wanted a starring role. Nimoy and Murphy acknowledged his part would attract non-Star Trek fans to the franchise following the rising popularity of Murphy, but it also meant the film might  [Absolutely would] be ridiculed. 


The IMDB Version:

"The film was originally supposed to have Eddie Murphy instead of Catherine Hicks. 

 Murphy was supposed to have played a professor concerned with UFOs who spots the decloaking Klingon ship at the Super Bowl. 

"Captain...! There be whales here..!"

 Apparently, all others are convinced the ship is a half-time special effect while Murphy believes it is real. "

"Only in Southern California..."

The "Late" William Cooper of the Office of Naval Intelligence, of course, insisted that this was  real....


Steve Meerson and Peter Krikes were hired to write a script with Murphy as a college professor who believes in aliens and likes to play whale songs.

Murphy disliked the part, explaining he wanted to play an alien or a Starfleet officer, and chose to make The Golden Child—a decision Murphy later said was a mistake. 

The character intended for Murphy was combined with those of a marine biologist and a female reporter to become Gillian Taylor.
