This episode was brilliant. After reading the discussions on here and Reddit, I realized that this piece of art has raised my awareness in particular about the Atomic Bomb. It's not that I ever supported it, it's just that when you're raised in the heavy propagandized American school system and culture, it was and still is believed today to be the "lesser of two evils." But then I came across a quote from William S Burroughs from a Reddit user. "Can any soul survive the searing fireball of an atomic blast? If human and animal souls are seen as electromagnetic force fields, such fields could be totally disrupted by a nuclear explosion...and this is precisely the ultrasecret and supersensitive function of the atom bomb: A soul killer, to alleviate an escalating soul glut." I never considered that if souls are electromagnetic that they could experience complete annihilation in something as powerful as an atomic blast. This quote made that scene even more harrowing, more terrifying, and to think of all the potential lost souls in Hiroshima and Nagasaki truly has changed my perception of many things today. Not the least of which being, was that really the lesser of two evils? Religion has always been a scape goat for evil in the world but it really is science that has lead to the brink of mankind's destruction. We mess around and dabble in things we don't properly understand and we pay for it. In the US alone there has been 1054 nuclear tests. How much of the cancer epidemic can be linked to this? I think Lynch has proposed the idea that we are the evil that we are trying to fight to a pointless end. Powerful stuff.
Episode 8 peaked my curiosity (no pun intended) to look into some of the darker sides of the 1945 Nuclear Test. Found many interesting things in my searches about Jack Parsons involvement, Jumbo and what may have really been inside – a possible clue to who or what Mother really is and the Woodsmen who may be known as Magicians using Twilight language and magic.
Just something to chew on

Great post, even just for the fact that you've quoted uncle Burroughs, one of the greatest visionaries of the beat movement. I am actually doing reserach for 2 years now about CERN. get informed about that. It's a huge experiment, and everyone of their public ceremonies have some blatant esoteric symbolism to them. Just think bout the fact that at the entrance of the CERN facilities you will be welcomed by a giant statue of the divinity of destruction Shiva (Oppenheimer quote about the destroyer of the world anyone?)
We live in a world which is filled by an increasing amount of electromagnetism. Are we fucked? I don't know. But all of you moved by this A Bomb back story get infos about what they are doing in the CERN facility in Switzerland.
