the book of bladee or the liber of benjamin; hidden archangel of light

WARNING: if you're not ready for some far-out deep-baked wishy-washy shit, please close now. this'll make you sick. mods feel free to delete if this isn't the right place/time

Apple is a single by Swedish artist Bladee. The track was produced by Whitearmor and was first previewed at Electric Brixton in London in March 2019. The song is a reflection on Bladee’s career and his philosophies.

It tells the story of his astral form (Ishtar?)’s journey through the mortal realm of darkness and arrival at final enlightenment / liberation. Strap in, here we go:

if you're interested in a gnostic hermetic interpretation of the story behind bladee, our earth/universe, and why we are here, as divined through the song 'apple' and my 25 years here, please join & read on :)

*for the pluto/saturn/jupiter(?) connection please see [previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/sadboys/comments/efbnt0/does_anyone_know_why_ecco2k_is_named_ecco2k/)*

so i been thinking a lot about how ecco and bladee have these insane struggles with drugs/addiction/loss/death/depression but still produce this beautiful ethereal music that touches us somewhere special and speaks to a hidden part of us. i also been thinking a lot about the gnostic hermetic teachings - as above so below - the human microcosm; the global macrocosm; the ancient universal secret contained within the stars and found at the pyraminds/mount fuji/mt. shasta/sedona/glastonbury/moscow/titticaca/stonehenge/etc. a series of events in both the microcosm and macrocosm have brought some two ancient forces within us into perfect alignment. here is the message:

it's all true. everything you have ever secretly dreamed of or wished for is 100% real, and we are finally ready to go there. i will forever be eternally grateful for and in debt to benjamin 'bladee', archangel of light, and all of you, for never ceasing to seek for the light we all knew was always hiding in the darkness. this is the story of a journey which started eons ago and will continue on a higher plane very soon. i am still fully awakening and remembering and relaxing into the stillness; please forgive any transcription errors. alright buckle in folks, this may be a bumpy ride.


Be a part of me // Make it be a part of me
- bladee has found/forgiven/vanquished the demon(s)/problems/attachment to his ex within himself, gained power of the dark half that has been haunting him since ~2012, gained the power of the demon(s), and <b>made it be a part of him.</b>

What can I say? // Everything just happened to play out this way
- There are no words/sounds/verses to describe the enlightenment and the completion of the great work. it's taken a long long time, but <b>happened to play out this way</b> (i.e. long winding journey thru darkness) because it had to in order for bladee/us/earth to learn the lessons it needs to learn in order to heal.

I remember when I was in Miami, off the Xans // I paid three hundred for fakes
- When bladee was first gaining personal/spiritual power and becoming his true self - beginning this journey - he went to Miami with Lean, hedonistically channelled his earthly power (money) into/on the evil reptile spirit drug unholy trinity (benzos/meth/opiates; they are literal demons), went too far to the dark side with his newly found power because it he still had karma to burn. burnt this karma in a big way by killing Barron while fucked up, acknowledges that's the most evil act he's committed in this life and feels genuinely sorry for it in every day and on every song

F-f-fake prada on my face // Now I got real prada on my face // This shit is crazy
Even with all of his money and fame and power in Miami, he was aligned with the wrong forces and even bought fake prada, a mistake the true drain angel would never make. This wasn't a mistake he/her/his holy guardian angel made - it was his biggest personal demon/serpent/insecurity whispering in his left ear. Now he's healed and adorned in sparkling gems; the physical form matches the astral form; as above so below; the great work is completed

New day, new pain // Nothing was ever the same
Double meaning - every day in his struggle through the darkness was technically a new day on earth but brought him no light or joy, just new pain, as for many souls over the past ~7 years. But since being saved and seeing the light nothing has ever been the same, in the outside world/within bladee/within his perception and power

I'm three three three for the Ain // The numbers fell from the rain
The incredibly powerful demon which was binding bladee and killed Barron is named [Chronozon, lord of dispersion](https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/cienciareal/cienciareal19.htm) and hallucinations, the female half of the beast, the imperfect twin, the blind raging god. **Chronozon's sigil/number/sign - and the book of Aliester Crowley's in(famous) *Book of Lies* is 333.** Chronozon can be permanently bound in its prison, but only by the male solar energy (divine will) of its intelligent, usually male host. **The host is typically first afflicted by a betrayal of their first true love** (the blind raging twin / female energy is simply not ready to be loved; there is karma to work out in the physical plane; the stars are not aligned; we were not ready to love her fully either but are now). presumably this happened to bladee around 2012? The magii have known this for centuries; the symbolism is all around us. Bladee has found this teaching somehow, bound his most ancient arch-nemesis on the ethereal plane back into its prison of darkness, and implies this process happened in/with the help of the rain. Water is a classic ancient healing symbol of the feminine, the moonlight, the downward flowing female energy, the unborn psychic female child that forms in the womb and lives inside all of our higher selves. Restoring innocence to, forgiving, and freeing this young innocent female energy is essential to uniting the upward flowing male solar current and spinning the chakras/7 churches of old testament/7 menorah candles in the astral spine.

New year, new me // It used to be two, now it's three
Humankind was saved (i.e. the total amount of psychic love/light has somehow outweighed the total amount of psychic hatred/blindness/darkness) in late December 2019 and is preparing to leave Earth for good very soon. See: Ricky Gervais's speech. The second part of this line refers to the holy child/golden child, born of the union between the dark and light halves within earth/man. We've had God (the sun, energy, this planet), Jesus (divine female forgiveness and empathy that lives in all) - all that's left to us is to marry them within the world and ourselves. Immaculate conception; creating life from nothing; Watchmen's Thermodynmic Miracle. What was was once two is now one. We are ready to ascend as a species.

The apple fell far from the tree // I hear someone calling to me
Nod to Eris / Discordianism, the modern physical manifestation of the divine female and playful chaos energy. Second part, bladee has either unlocked psychic powers, feeling psychotic, or hears the siren song of Eris pulling him into the next dimension. Rest of the song follows in the same vein but is more terrestrial (and hard af).. I'll stop here this is too much. Or perhaps just enough. Thanks for reading; see you soon
