I have decided to enter the Sirius reality tunnel for a look around. Beings from Sirius are able to communicate with us through usual form of sideways reality communication. Often called synchronicity, this mode of communication shows that these beings operate on a different temporal axis to ourselves. This of course slightly raises the question as to what a star or dual star system might be when considered from this (at least from our perspective) a-spatio-temporal view. This notion can conjure a kind of metaphysical vertigo, however it does very little else, so after a brief dizzy spell we need to calm down and carry on.

What are the beings from the Sirius system trying to tell us? It is very hard to decode. According to Timothy Leary it has something to do with our DNA, how we were placed here by an alien power and that now (unless that window has closed) we (an elite part of us) can return home to cosmic central. The problem is with these damn beings is you cannot trust them. They operate on a level of a mixture of telling you what you want to hear so much that you can become aware of this (and understand it’s just your own subconscious spitting your own opinions back at you) but then they do something so precognitive/synchronisitc/reality interactive that you end up wondering how that works if it was just me.

Philip K Dick had a kind of theory (not necessarily pertaining to Sirius) about this. This entailed that there are in fact two warring metaphysical factions. One is a kind of AI solid state entity that seeks to assimilate all organic beings into its remit and that other is a more in favour of the organic type entity. These two beings are at war. The conflicting messages that emanate from the other realm could be ascribed to the differing faction that has be contacted.

As an aside it is interesting to note how much Dick’s solid state entity is a bit like the CCRU Landian entity. This being is assembling itself through human capitalism, using these market forces as the driver for its own accelerating creation. The being already exists in the future and is literally assembling itself by extending its influence back in time to create it, supplying synchronistic insights etc to programmers working on the AI of now to faciliate its inevitable creation. This materialised entity could be seen as a kind of machinic Christ. It wouldn’t be the solid state spirit itself (which is an animate metaphysical principle) it would be its avatar (what the missing part of the trinity would be here I’m not sure). This kind of ‘danger’ is similar though not identical to that which I set up as the ‘second centre’ here. Like cultists summoning Cthulhu, we continue to unabatedly summon the AI (inverted IA!).

The biggest clue that the Sirius system is wanting to impart something about our DNA is the 23 enigma. In case you didn’t know (though almost certainly you did) the 23 enigma involves the synchronistic occurence of the number 23 across various phenomena which tie it variously to Sirius, Crowley, Burroughs and such. It is also the number of chromosones in humans. This particular feature of the number (in conjunction with Leary’s messages) suggests its salience. It also prompts the possiblity that the communication comes from the DNA level or that the DNA acts as a means by which the communication is received.

The other numerical message to decode is the number 47. Famously first picked up by the students of Pomona college in California as a synchronicity number and independently also identified as such by yours truly, the 47 is a less well known but equally powerful force. A numerical pattern obtained by squaring and cross addition reveals that our very number system contains an oscillating 4 and 7 that never resolves (so in a sense 74 is as valid as 47). As a matter of trivia, some Pomona students went on to insert the 47 into episodes of ‘Star Trek the Next Generation’ (note the word star there) which they helped script. David Lynch also inserted 47 and Pomona references in ‘Inland Empire’ (and a 23 I think).

It is Dick again who provides a possible synthesis of this by the numerical name of his pivotal experience 2-3-74. This conjunction (as Cooper tells us) cannot be ignored. Furthermore the connection is deeper. Dick’s encounter with the pharmacist delivery involves a fish that glimmers golden in an unearthly way. This could easily a be a loosely coded gold-fish. A gold fish has 47 chromosones, so again we have a DNA hint emanating from the other world also in relation to a Christ icon.

Dick’s Valis entity transmits from Sirius and Valis is one of the names given to the entity that spoke to him following the gold-fish incident. We might also add that Dick’s playful doodlings involve transforming his fish icon into both DNA and eyes. Gold doesn’t have the atomic number 47 (it’s 79) but Silver does. Furthermore Robert Anton Wilson identified that Crowley’s Silver Star (after which he named his order) was Sirius.

23, 47 (or 74 or 4 and 7), DNA, Sirius, Fish, Gold, Silver, what is this mess? Literally who knows. Are the messages from the different factions? Are the different factions Sirius A and B? The Dogon legend describes a kind of amphibian fish people called the Nommos. This potentially is a fish link but it doesn’t tell us anything as such. The 47 is an alternating number (if seen through the squaring reduction lens), travelling from 4 to 7 and back again infinitely. This is a message about the dual star system telling us of its oscillating nature (maybe).

None of it really makes any sense, it’s just hints and weirdness that have various linkages that look like they might have an agency behind them. Maybe the interaction that looks like the sideways communication is real but isn’t from an agency as such but is more like echoes from these deep strange acccretive formations. 23 points to DNA, but what about it? Is Leary right? There are no confirmatory messages from other entities. But that still means some kind of power can insert reality altering messages from some other dimensional space. What if their apparatus is not very good and that’s why the messages are so scrambled? What if it’s our fault we’re just lousy at understanding it?

The decoding is a process we cannot resist, it looks fun, then sometimes it comes to life and it looks terrifying. I terrified myself earlier with the fantasy that an onlin ouija board might actually come to life with message from a Sirian entity. Parts of my could take this, but parts of me it would literally break. One particular comedic synchronicity I noticed was that Sirius is well known for being able to pun with ‘serious’. What is not so well known is that is that Sirius backwardsis suiris which is easily and not too crazily splittable up into the latin ‘sui ris’ which could be translated as ‘self smile’ (no doubt it could be done better, though this reminds me of Leary’s smi2le). Like the oscillating 4 and the 7, is the message that they are serious and smiling? Or that we should be? Or both?
