Reddit reviews Latitude 33: Key to the Kingdom

Isn't it interesting that one of the most wealthy and influential corporations in the world has made their own personal brand centered around "magic"? Between their fairy-tale animations, theme parks, and now purchasing Marvel and Star Wars, they have made their fortune by creating a monopoly on storytelling, imagination, and our modern mythologies. I find Walt himself to be a particularly fascinating character. The synthesis of raw willpower and raw imagination in that man is nothing short of alchemical, if you ask me. I think there's a lot of parallels between Walt's lifepath and the story of Gepetto in Pinocchio - which is of course based on a book that is a spiritual allegory written by an Italian Freemason. Much like Gepetto wanting his wooden puppet to be a real boy, Walt spent his whole life creating life, vitality and emotion from inanimate materials, whether it be his animations or his audio-animatronics. To me Disneyland is an incredible example of pure Will in the Occult sense, and such a shining beacon of the breathing of spirit into matter - how can you get more Occult and alchemical than that?

Here's a handful of resources in case you wanted to dive deeper, mainly to steer you in an intelligent direction because most of the material you'll find online is either hopelessly silly or batshit conspiracy theorizing. (Not that I'm against conspiracy theory, it can be great fun, but I'd prefer that the person theorizing have more knowledge of the Occult than "OMG the devil" which seems to be as deep as most of them go.)

https://terrifictop10.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/disney-666.jpg?w=620&h=357 - So here's a fun one. Conspiracy theorists have had a field day with this one, however I haven't seen any of them unpack what its true significance is (in my opinion). Notice how, in addition to the three highlighted 6's, there is also a cross directly in the center of the logo? So it is rumored that Walt was a high-degree Freemason, and the primary mythology of the Freemasons is centered around King Solomon and his Temple, a symbol for the manifestation of the spiritual into the material. From what I understand, the whole Freemason philosophy is about harnessing spiritual power and using it to manifest something intensely powerful within the material world, just like King Solomon and his temple. So, for example, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin (all Freemasons) worked to manifest a brand new nation founded on transcendent spiritual ideals, which in only a couple of centuries has become the wealthiest and most culturally influential nation on earth. And Walt manifested fantastical moving images and an entire Disneyland. According to Jewish and Masonic legend, King Solomon was aided in building the temple by two magical rings, one which summoned angels, the other which controlled demons - this is a symbol of the uniting of the higher and lower energies in a harmonized synthesis. With that context, the hidden 666 and hidden cross become a little more interesting, eh? Could Disneyland have been Walt's own personal Temple of Solomon?

https://www.amazon.com/Latitude-33-Kingdom-Walter-Bosley-ebook/dp/B00STAMFG0 - A super-cheap ebook called "Latitude 33", which is about "the arcane science and Hermetic engineering of the Happiest Place on Earth", some more fascinating background on the esoteric roots of the original Disney theme park.

https://runesoup.com/2016/10/black-pearl-of-great-price-the-magical-significance-of-captain-jack-sparrow/ - Exploring the magickal significance of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, great read. (NOTE: This article only touches on the first four films, I'd recommend watching all 4 but skipping the fifth, it was made by entirely different writers than the first four and it definitely shows)

https://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/the-esoteric-interpretation-of-pinocchio/ - A pretty good analysis of spiritual symbolism in Pinocchio.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDVeAj6qgGw - Here's a fun one from a Disney Channel show, Gravity Falls. The primary villain is Bill Cipher, a chaotic-evil demon summoned to invade minds and wreak havoc. His design is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Eye of Horus, and his name is a reference to the Eye of Horus seal on the back of the $1 bill. (WARNING: The last 45 seconds contains major spoilers for the finale, if you'd ever like to enjoy the show for yourself).

https://samkriss.com/2012/08/22/the-conspiracy-theory-of-disneyland/ - Here's a pretty wild one if you're intrigued by the "conspiracy" side of things. I honestly have no idea if this article was written as a joke or not - on the bottom of the post it is tagged as a "vague attempt at satire" - but it's a great read either way, and I wouldn't be surprised if some fragments of truth were included purposefully or intuited unconsciously nonetheless. I can find no trace anywhere online of the ancient Egyptian "mouse cult of Penhew-Nekhet" mentioned here - though of course, if the world's elites were still performing the practices of some ancient dark cult, they wouldn't exactly want a ton of information out about it, would they? ;)

> And he seen a glimpse of light slowly grow into Disneyland which he said at first made him really feel like he was at the “happiest place on earth”. Then, he seen all the fear ppl had while going on the roller coasters, how drained everyone was from waiting in line, and all that energy was filling up millions of scream canisters.

Well holy fuckballs those two sentences alone sent chills up and down my spine. If your friend’s perception of Disneyland holds true, then my sisters and I are probably responsible for filling many hundreds of scream canisters just by ourselves. I’m sure we unwittingly made for some particularly flavorful vintages of “scream bottles” for sure. My siblings and I each held annual passes to this theme park as SoCal residents. On a bored summer afternoon, we three would hop into a car and trudge out to the park to go on a couple of rides. Omg I have been through many nooks and crannies in that park. Disneyland is part of my family lore. Its been in our backyard since our Edward Scissorhands-style neighborhood grew out of an orange grove in Anaheim in 1959. So three things:

Check out this book that I am reading right now, it is called Latitude 33: Keys to the Kingdom. Amazon link. The gist is that Disneyland’s genesis, its exact placement, location, and stuff inside is not an accident at all. Its all apparently very purposeful and very esoteric. Definitely a fascinating read.

Check out this wild blog and podcast that describes esoteric phenomenon at Disneyworld properties, its called epcult.com. Posts on this site read like a nosleep multipart story series. Is this stuff they describe on this site true? Or is it lavish fiction? I don’t know but wow I couldn’t put it down. I read all the posts but haven’t listened to the podcast yet. So many rabbit holes, so little time!

Let’s close with this poem written bymurdered model and actress Dorothy Stratten in 1979:

> It's here, everything -

> Everything anyone ever

> Dreamed of, and more.

> But love is lost:

> The only sacrifice

> To live in this heaven,

> This Disneyland

> Where people are the games.

Thought of another one today, it's a fairly quick (and cheap) and interesting read. https://www.amazon.com/Latitude-33-Kingdom-Walter-Bosley-ebook/dp/B00STAMFG0 they talked about it sometime last year.
