In the opening scene of the movie “Alien”, we see the crew of the space ship ‘Nostromo’ being awoken from their hyper-sleep . As readers who have seen the movie will know, the crew have been woken up by the computer ‘Mother’ and as the movie progresses, we discover the reason why they were awoken was because the ship had received a signal from an unknown extra-terrestrial source .
Unfortunately, for the crew this ends badly as they meet up with the reptile and only one of the crew escapes without meeting a nasty end . Having recently rewatched the movie, I have wondered whether it was a deliberate metaphor for mankind .
Here in Britain, we seem to be having a lot of WOW moments in the media during the Olympics . We were told that the lighting of the Cauldron at the Olympic Opening Ceremony would be a WOW moment and the organisers have said they are ‘Wowed’ by the number of people attending the Games . They also repeated they are ‘Wowed’ by the atmosphere within the Olympic Stadium .
The most famous ‘WOW Moment’ was the signal received by SETI (The Search For Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) on Aug 15th 1977 and has become known as “The Wow! Signal” . The Wow! Signal was an unexplained signal, which may or may not have come from an extra-terrestrial origin .
From Wiki – The Wow! Signal :
The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University then located at Ohio Wesleyan University’s Perkins Observatory, Delaware, Ohio. The signal bore expected hallmarks of potential non-terrestrial and non-Solar System origin. It lasted for the full 72-second duration that Big Ear observed it, but has not been detected again. The signal has been the subject of significant media attention.
Amazed at how closely the signal matched the expected signature of an interstellar signal in the antenna used, Ehman circled the signal on the computer printout and wrote the comment "Wow!" on its side. This comment became the name of the signal .
Humanity needs a Wow signal as in “Alien”, without the monster . We have been in hyper-sleep for a long, long time and even though there are signs humanity is beginning to stir, the vast majority are still in the Land of Nod . I am encouraged by the numbers who are starting to see the dysfunction in the world but the solution is ultimately spiritual and we need to awaken to our true nature .
The thing about dreams is you don’t know you are asleep, until you wake up .
Maybe…………… ?!? The next three major “Events” world wide will each have a six relationship?!? As in “Six, Six, Six” The next date for this is 07/08 = 15 1+5 = 6 The first, middle and last number of the beast…….. It is a wait and see game………….
It’s somewhat of a riddle to many of us – but we are hot on the trail, wouldn’t you say?
I do not know in truth, but I dreampt it last night……………..
Hi Irishminx – it is a matter of wait and see . After the Olympic Opening Ceremony, there will be a sequel IMO.
Your awakening consciousness is imposing itself. Buckle in and hang on truth will come.
In reference to the word; “wow.” Steve Jobs last and final words were: “Oh wow.” His sister reported that he was looking at his family and then all of a sudden looked past them and spoke the words mentioned above…….and then he passed on.
Any guesses as to what he saw?
I wrote about that at the time but I had forgotten that – lots of Wows around .
Knowing Jobs, his idea of heaven was probably a room full of super computers
.
Yeah, maybe he saw the computers in the matrix and how they are used to manipulate the mind of mankind and hold them, us in “mind bondage.”
All jokes aside, he saw something else that is much more magnificant and wonderous…….and I believe that from the very depths of my soul.
I hope he did !
I think maybe he saw what was in between the wave being on and off. Perhaps his mind finally understood the ternary nature and in a hypnagogiatic state the door was opened. The Matrix sure unfolds in an interesting way when you follow the trail of symbols. There is a consciousness perhaps like Mother called Gaia or Sophia that is part of the Noosphere. Perhaps that the synchronicities are ‘quickening’ it suggests the Omega Point of consciousness draws near. The feeling of a shift or a waking up is happening for many.
Hi Jayce- the increase in syncs is interesting . I can see why Time would speed up as consciousness vibrates at a faster rate but the ‘quickening of synchronicity’ implies that it is part of the make up of existence, as well .
Jamaican runner of 100 m discopline just do a “beast” , like commentator said… what a sinchronicity it is .. it is like chess game between God and devil. And we are avatars in the great battle between good and evil.
An interesting first three – a Lightning Bolt, The Beast and a Gatlin’ Gun .

Hi Jen – the hype does seem exaggerated . But it could be seen as our WOW signal .
