Leggo Eggo Echo

PART 3: EGO, EGGO, ECHO

Continuing on, note from my previous post:

The names in the following excerpt taken from the Stranger Things wiki page should be investigated: 

• Inspired and aesthetically informed by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Stephen King, Robert Zemeckis, and George Lucas, among others.

On investigating the wiki pages of the 5 mentioned, all stand out, note the following:

• George Walton Lucas Jr. (born May 14, 1944)
• Robert Lee Zemeckis^[1] (born May 14, 1952^[1])
• John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948)
• Steven Allan Spielberg (born December 18, 1946)
• Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947)

The two born on the same day, together with Rob MacGregor's birthday generates a "May 14(x2), __, 16/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Carpenter's birthday is tomorrow, and today being the birthday of my son and life partner, means we now have a "_, January 15(x3), January 16, _/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  And finally, King's birthday is an addition to a cluster found in my January 14 post, Black Zodiac:

• September 9, _, 11(x3), 12, _, 14 , 15, _, 17(x5), 18, 19, _, 21/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster

Note the title of my previous post, Leggo My Eggo.   The title originates from the Eggo wiki page:

• Their advertising slogan—"L'eggo my Eggo"—is well known ...

Of course L'eggo my Eggo is a slang form of "let go of my eggo".   So you have to understand how the inner twin world works-- their use of attention getters, and to name 3: play with words, rhymes, alliterations.  So stewing on the back burner of ... the inner twin mind is "let go of my ego".  On the Ego wiki page the first name mentioned is Sigmund Freud, note from his wiki page:

• Sigmund Freud (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) 

And so the cluster expands yet again:

• September 9, _, 11(x3), 12, _, 14 , 15, _, 17(x5), 18, 19, _, 21, _, 23/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster

On the Ego wiki page in the "See Also" section is a list of other names, one stands out, because he's a favourite of the MacGregor's, Jung, Carl, note from his wiki page:

• Jung, Carl (26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961)

Freud's birthday and Jung's date of death generates a "_, May 6, June 6, _/ 6th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.   As well, Jung's birthday is one off from Trish MacGregor's and so generating a "June _, 6, 7, _/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

And now there's L'Eggo and Lego (the toy company).  Note from Lego's wiki page:

Inventor	Ole Kirk Christiansen

• Ole Kirk Christiansen (7 April 1891 – 11 March 1958) 66, was the founder of the Danish construction toy company the LEGO Group.

Note from yesterday's post, Alter Ego:

• Marcus Tullius Cicero ( 3 January 106 BC – 7 December43 BC)
• George Norman Douglas (8 December 1868 – 7 February1952)

We now have a "December 7, _, February 7, _, April 7/ 7th Day, Month Sequence " pattern cluster.  There are 2 gaps to bridge.  So, at the March 7 wiki page, using the formula, we arrive at:

• 1991 – Cool Papa Bell  (May 17, 1903 – March 7, 1991)baseball player 
• 1997 – Edward Mills Purcell (August 30, 1912 – March 7, 1997) Nobel Prize 
• 1999 – Sidney Gottlieb (August 3, 1918 – March 7, 1999) chemist, theorist 
• 1999 – Stanley Kubrick  (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) director, producer, screenwriter 
• 2004 – Paul Winfield (May 22, 1941^[1] – March 7, 2004) actor 

The two on each end are a stretch-- as expected by the inner twin world... it's okay to veer off from the usual formula, after all, they are teaching us a new language, and so it stands to reason that as we learn more, they expect more-- and we become that much more fluent... and so the same learning curve with any language.  Cool Papa Bell and Paul Winfield simply "fit"-- the crypt elements in their names communicate to us.  The birthday of Cool Papa Bell is one off from Rob MacGregor's birthday, and so adding to the cluster above: "May 14(x2), __, 16, 17/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Edward Purcell's birthday is one off from Megan MacGregor's birthday, hence generating an "August _, 30, 31/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   Kubrix Birthday is the same as Jung's, hence generating a "July 26(x2)" pattern-cluster.  And as far as the birthdays of Gottlieb and Winfield, note from my previous post: 

• Franz Mesmer (May 23, 1734 – March 5, 1815)
• Robert Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December1894)

• A "February 3, March 3, April 3, May 3(x2), _, _, _,_, October 3, _, December 3, January 3/ 3rd Day, Month sequence" pattern cluster.

So we now have an addition to the cluster re:

• A "February 3, March 3, April 3, May 3(x2), _, _, August 3, _, October 3, _, December 3, January 3/ 3rd Day, Month sequence" pattern cluster.

And we also now have a "May _, 22, 23, _/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  At some point we need to start bridging the gaps, and this seems a good place since May 23 is the day of the year where 222 days remain.  There are two gaps to be bridged, and  on venturing to the May 21 and 24 wiki page, using the formula we arrive at:

• 1998 – Robert Gist (October 1, 1917 – May 21, 1998) actor, director 
• 1997 – Edward Mulhare (8 April 1923 – 24 May 1997) Irish actor 
• 2000 – Majrooh Sultanpuri (1 October 1919 − 24 May 2000) poet, songwriter  

The cryptic phrase re "Robert Gist" stands out given that Rob MacGregor factors in this post.  Note the etymology of

• gist (n.)  "the real point" ...  gésir "to lie," 

And yes Rob does lie, that evidence is quite clear in this blog.  It's a costly lie.  We now have an "October 1(x2)" pattern-cluster.  Venturing to the October 1 wiki page ... using the formula didn't bring up much of anything-- no one had died during a year having 3 identical numbers at the end of the year.  And so I resorted to investigating those in the births section, looking for someone who died during a year having 3 identical numbers at the end of the year:

• 1842 – Charles Cros (October 1, 1842 – August 9, 1888), French poet and author 

His surname alone fits-- a cryptic "cross"... I get the sense that the inner twin world are "cross"... as in angry!!   And of course they are-- the price they have had to pay in order to wake us... educate us has been costly on both sides!!  They are angry with the lie... they are angry with our outer twin world's ignorance and willingness to risk all for ego/pride... one that gets in the way of protecting the future.  And so the inner twin world are coming forward with their own "EGO", one that will balance things out in the end.   Cros' date of death is the 222nd day of the year, a particular inner twin trade mark signature is sequences of 2's.   Two of the 4 persons mentioned on his wiki page stand out:

• Louis Arthur Ducos du Hauron (8 December 1837 – 31 August 1920) 
• Edward St. John Gorey (February 22, 1925 – April 15, 2000) 

August 31st is Megan's birthday and February 22nd is the birthday of my grandson... and when he turns 8, the date will be 2/2/22.  Their surnames stand out: a cryptic "horror on" and "gory".  AND, there's a reason why the surname "MacGregor" is a cryptic "great/grey gore".

Finally I come to another word that's similar to "ego" and "eggo" that also ties in:

• echo (n.) ... from PIE *wagh-io-, extended form of root *(s)wagh- "to resound" (source also of Sanskrit vagnuh "sound," Latin vagire "to cry," Old English swogan "to resound")
