Jubilee Prosperity

Friday 26 June 2009, a fortnight below DIA 8902, with Great Expectations…

In The Gift we documented in 1444 pages how the movies and game shows of the Thirties prefigured those and the times of today.

So You Think You Can Dance?!

Anna Nicole Smith, Judy Garland, Jimmy Hendrix, Howard Hughes, Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison, Michael Jackson…Bright star enigmas who killed creative pain with drugs. Some of their bank fix handlers were prosecuted.

So what do torches in the wind have to do with this market?

Plenty, if we accept the fact our markets are driven by our mind, and our chosen stars reflect our metal states.

A psychiatrist testified in the pedophile trial of Michael Jackson he had regressed from an adult to a ten-year old boy, why he preferred the company of children. The child without a childhood. He was not convicted, but we are.

One of the best market insights yet after curious passings of Howard Hughes, David Carradine and Michael Jackson, regards the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Brad Pitt F Scott Fitzgerald film story about the provisional life of age regression.

The provisional life is yet another modern manifestation of myth as ancient as the resurrection and worship of Osiris, Pan and Christ, Puer Aeternus, eternal youth, Peter Pan flyaway boy: Don’t fence me in, hate me or tie me down.

Swiss minister son Jung and his analytic psychology successors wrote extensively how The Little Prince prefigured Hitler’s Nazi Jugendkultur.

Today Michael Jackson’s passing eulogizes the end of our collective Botox fanatic fitness nip and tuck silicone youth obsession.

Michael Jackson:

Abused beloved brilliant lonely perfectionist shrouded single father star. He was elder spokesman of The Jackson 5 at age 11. MJ debuted at the Apollo (the adult senex shadow .) He made enough money with adult HBO, MTV, Northern Music and Sony handlers to become Peter Pan at his Neverland. When the money ran out, he had to go back to work to pay for his play, but OD’d instead.

Puer aeternus related to Dionysus and Eros–unbounded instinct, disorder, intoxication, whimsy.

In other words:

Like all archetypes, puer is bi-polar.

The light side of puer appears as the Divine Child who symbolizes newness, potential for growth, hope for the future. Puer foreshadows the hero he sometimes becomes. The Hercules of entertainment.

Puer’s dark side is the child-man-pan-ther who refuses to grow up and meet the challenges of life face on, resorting to make-believe costumes with repetitive plastic surgeries while waiting for his ship to come in and solve all his problems. The innocent victim.
