Ready Player One released in 2018 (1+8 = 9, Yesod) should be compared and contrasted with Annihilation so you can see the use of the exact same associations above in order to understand how this works within the framework of the Unifying Colour Theory.
PURPLE
THE ASTRAL PLANE
THE ASTRAL BODY OR THE ETHERIC DOUBLE
GENITALS
ARTEMIS, MOON GODDESS
BEAUTIFUL STRONG NAKED MAN AND GABRIEL
THE TREASURE HOUSE OF IMAGES
When any ''image'' or astral body/etheric double is destroyed it explodes in a shower of coins or treasure.
AKASHIC RECORD
Within the traditions of the Magical Qabalah it is in Yesod we first perceive the existence of the Akashic Record, or storehouse of memory - this can be likened to the subconscious memories of the individual. Occultists use various techniques to unlock their magical memories and gain access to knowledge they have acquired in different incarnations. This is represented in the film by the museum of Halliday's life which Parsifal studies for the secrets of the keys. This is also reflected by the nostalgia that seeps into the Oasis and the Back to the Future Delorean, which allows him to travel through memory and time.
KERUBIM, ANGELIC HOST, HOLY LIVING CREATURES
In this final battle on planet Doom, Parsifal is assisted by the Kerubim or the Angelic Host of Holy Living Creatures. The Hosts are often portrayed as crazy creature armies this way in a variety of movies that are connected with the Unifying Colour Theory. Recently we saw this approach in the final installments of Avengers and Star Wars.
THREE KEYS
In order to win the game and control the Oasis (Astral Plane) Parsifal must collect three keys. Looking at the image above, the orange one relates to Hod, the green one to Netzach and the ''crystal'' (silver-purple) relates to Yesod. Malkuth, 10, the bottom Sefira is ''the real world''. ''10 = 1'' is also shown in the logo for the main antagonists of the film - IOI or Innovative Online Industries.
COLUMBUS - ASSIAH, MALKUTH, THE REAL WORLD |
''COPPER'' KEY [ORANGE - HOD]
In order to get the ''copper'' key [Hod] Parsifal must win a car race. This race is sacred to Mercury/Hermes, the God of Speed and the planet associated with Hod in the Golden Dawn System. In order to win Parsifal must race backwards as everything is upside down and back to front on the Astral Plane.
DANCING ROMANTIC COUPLES IN BALLROOM - GREEN, VENUS |
''DIVIDE IT BY THE NUMBER MAGIC'' |
HALLIDAY'S LOST LOVE - VENUS |
SHADDAI EL CHAI
In order to get to the crystal key intact Parsifal must use an ''extra life'' from the ''Curator'' in order to survive the explosion of a powerful artefact. This extra life is a reference to the El Chai - God of Life, or The Life.
