Remarkable, then, that a mirror—depiction of the Mars—associated project of the secret government which incidentally brought the HIV virus to functional life, should be presented so blatantly in a Hollywood blockbuster; remarkable, too, that Hollywood once again seems to have successfully anticipated the very viral genesis which isn 't specifically depicted in Recall, even years in advance of its "public debut" at an Alabama clinic, through the blockbuster Alien. We've had occasion to note before (cf. the "Qabala Of Star Wars", issue 2, Aug.—Sept. 1989 TNTC) how creative thinkers and especially writers or artists are naturally sensitive to the archetypal currents flowing through surface events, so that their work often accurately reflects from a subconscious level a larger reality than is generally grasped by normal consciousness; we've also had occasion to note how higher forms of (frequently discarnate) consciousness, whether positive or negative in basic alignment, use that subconscious sen sitivity of the artist in a more deliberate and precise tailoring of archetypal materials so as to put forward through them, a more specific "message"; and of course we've here noted how certain, secret agencies of the perfectly—incarnate type have also enlisted, on a conscious or subconscious basis, the "talents" of the writer and artist to promote a particular impression for public consumption. Recall, now, that due to the flawed technology of everyday life we missed the first few minutes—largely the opening credits—of Recall. Let's check it out then, now that it's available in video, put it on the VCR and see just what we missed. Why, amazing to relate, we find on catching ourselves up that Total Recall is the work of Ron Shusette, who produced it and co—wrote the screenplay with Dan O'Bannon...who happens to be one of MTs very favorite s.f. writers. And because he is one of MTs favorite s.f. writers, it was hard to miss the fact that O'Bannon and more. 52 110 T-Bird_Vs_The_Flying_saucers.htm Shusette also wrote..Alien. Boys!
