Josie and scarred and wounded [MNT]…how many of the characters? [MNT: WRQ]…what about Twin Peaks itself? [MNT: WRQ]…is it connected to the soul of the woods? [MNT: WRQ: NAM: HQT: “Many of these cultures, however, recognized and named the spiritual ingredient or attribute, the special quality of the wonderful, the very, the beyondness, in nature. This was sometimes considered personal, sometimes not. We have from the American Indians terms such as manitou, or wakan, or yapaitu, often translated as power ; and we have the well-known Melanesian mana. But this is what they reach through faith, the other end of the relationship itself is unnamed. Apparently, to behave and think religiously is to behave and think. To describe a way of life in its totality is to describe a religious way of life.”[1] [LT: WRQ: HQT].]…slowing us down to dreamspace [MNT: LT: Principle: WRQ: HQT]…flowing into the mythos [MNT: Principle: LT: WRQ: HQT]…shadows long from other side [Principle: WRQ]…

Like all symbols facing right and left at the same time, Janus is a symbol of wholeness— of the desire to master all things. Because of its duality, it may be taken to signify all pairs of opposites— to be equivalent to the myth of the Gemini. It seems that the Romans associated Janus essentially with destiny, time and war. His faces were turned towards the past the future, denoting both awareness of history and foreknowledge (the two-headed eagle has a comparable significance.) But, as Guénon has rightly pointed out, two heads are, in fact, hindrances to the knowledge of true, destiny, which lies in the ‘eternal present’ (25). This explains similar symbols but with three heads arranged in the form of a rotating triangle, after the fashion of Janus, but with a third head facing forward. Triform Hecate is represented in this way (59). Janus also symbolizes the union of the power of priest and monarch (28). Marius Schneider has suggested to us that Janus may also be identified with the two-peaked Mountain of Mars and, consequently, with all symbol of Inversion and mutual sacrifice.”[3]]…

[9] “An old Wintu woman, speaking in prophetic vein, expressed this: ‘The White people never cared for land or deer or bear. When we Indians kill meat, we eat it all up. When we dig roots we make little holes. When we build houses, we make little holes. When we burn grass for grasshoppers, we don’t ruin things. We shake down acorns and pinenuts. We don’t chop down the trees. We only use dead wood. But the White people plow up the ground, pull up the trees, kill everything. The tree says, ‘Don’t. I am sore. Don’t hurt me.’ But they chop it down and cut it up. The spirit of the land hates them. They blast out trees and stir it up to its depths. They saw up the trees. That hurts them. The Indians never hurt anything, but the white people destroy all. They blast rocks and scatter them on the ground. The rock says, ‘Don’t! You are hurting me.’ But the White people pay no attention. When the Indians use rocks, they take little round ones for their cooking…How can the spirit of the earth like the White man?…Everywhere the White man has touched it, it is sore.’ Here we find people who do not so much seek communion with environing nature as find themselves in communion with it.”
