This is in conjunction with the thread about Parker from 'Alien' claiming he's had multiple real life alien encounters. I have a theory about his claims, and about the 'Alien' film and about Hollywood occultic practices and iconography in general. In fact, occultic iconography is all around us in the modern world, but most don't realize it. I'm still ironing out the kinks in that one so I'll save that for later.
Anyway, Yaphet Kotto (Parker) said he found many Egyptian looking hieroglyphs on the set of the spaceship in the movie. One instance was in the self destruct sequence:
" Now, I'll admit, there were things that I alone found on the set of Alien—the spaceship. That mechanism that Sigourney Weaver throws to put the Sulaco (fictional spacecraft) on automatic destruct. There were symbols there. Symbols that had nothing to do with the ship in the film and I kept finding these symbols. They were like Egyptian symbols and I started trying to decipher them, which I was able to do."
Now, check out what he's talking about. Look at all this occultic iconography
. These are only a few examples. There are symbols, and I assume these are some of the symbols Kotto is referencing. But there is straight up occultic nomenclature as well. Again, these pics below are only a few examples. There are more.
The first key of note is “PRANIC LIFT 777”:
Prana is the Sanskrit word for “life force”. It’s a cosmic energy believed to come from the sun, and to connect the elements of the universe.
We also have "Padme", a possible variant of Padma, Sanskrit for “lotus flower”:
…and “LINGHA” (or Lingam), a representation of the Hindu deity shiva:
Lingha is balanced by “YONI”, Sanskrit for “womb”:
Yoni is a symbol for the Hindu Divine Mother, an embodiment of Shakti, the concept of divine feminine creative power. This might explain why we also have a “SHAKTI EXCESS” button on the keyboard:
But perhaps the oddest key on the keyboard is this one in the top right hand corner – “AGARIC FLY”:
Now, Agaric Fly – or Fly Agaric, as it’s more commonly known – is a mushroom and psychoactive fungus known for triggering a hallucinogenic experience:
You might think this is an odd thing to be written on the keyboard of an emergency destruction system. You would be correct.
This might also explain why the key to the left of “AGARIC FLY” is labelled, simply, “TRIP”:
I found all that above ^ at this link: https://typesetinthefuture.com/2014/12/01/alien/
Other odd nomenclature on the keys:
- Serotonin
- Aum
- Akasa
- Rohrim
- Hum
- Lingha
- Druze Pile
- Bel
- Leb Drift
- TAL
- Morph
- Particle Beam Abhort - (notice the spelling of Abhort)
Why was that keyboard filled with so many occultic references? Apparently designer Simon Deering needed some complex-sounding labels for the keyboard at short notice. He was reading The Secret Doctrine by Helena Blavatsky, a Russian philosopher and occultist, at the time of filming. Blavatsky’s book attempts to explain the origin and evolution of the universe in terms derived from the Hindu concept of cyclical development. Deering found his inspiration in its pages, and the Nostromo‘s odd keyboard was born.
^ THAT'S the official explanation?! OK, look up late 70's technology, and believe me there were plenty of "complex-sounding labels" for buttons that could've been used and they would have been far more realistic for a space ship than occultic terms and hindu deities.
