Comment:  First, there is an important interior decor focalizer running along the full length of Constantine's west apartment wall. Constantine has lined up a long row of large bottles filled with holy water [blessed insurance], each labeled with a cross. They are 'in case of an emergency' - to facilitate a fast exit from you-know-where. The Western area of any room leads to a door, binary solution peak, or portal key that can open up a way into mystic dimensions. The nearness to events of birth and death, and the sacred journey, tend to materialize these points of power in a home.

Second, the script holds [basic allusions to the seven heavens]  faithfully. Most of the usual dowser/feng shui design blueprints, ritual formulae, and numeric symbolism appear. Some names could be changed to protect the innocent. Gabriel, for example, is indirect and defensive, representing the most efficient use of the back pituitary hormones, therefore never aggressive. Gabriel interprets the dreams of the prophet Daniel, protects and assists the Holy Family, and dictates the Koran to Muhammad. Also, Gabriel the Archangel could not interfere with the destiny path of the human race. There are few other important discrepancies in the overall presentation.

The final observation to note is related to the widening gap between the esoteric and exoteric material available in the mainstream today. This engineered set of circumstances greatly contributes to the attitude of the hero, John Constantine. Once an individual has died and been 'resurrected' he is clear that, "it isn't always the way its written in those books." Most people object to a theme with identified non-corporeals that do not appear by name in biblical script. The three names considered acceptable are: St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael. Formidable demonologists, exorcists, and metaphysical scholars, including many a renown cardinal, rabbi, and guru, write extensively on the complex topic of the two hierarchies, yet the information is still excluded from mainstream exoteric collectivism. Like The Matrix, Constantine is for an audience with an interest tuned to the path less taken.

Red alert! above, Constantine recognizes a subtle, clever bit of arrogance that constitutes a huge blip on his exorcist screen. He must battle a hidden soldier demon that would not normally be capable of an atypical type possession. Somewhere powerful forces are advancing in an unusual pattern and he knows the veil that insulates dimensional worlds has been compromised. Early documentation of known inhabitants of the lower, infernal regions do not cover 'automatic' [blended] soldiers because they have no identity other than a number in a larger group of hostiles.

American Indian Symbolism      "To the Indian the number four has a peculiar sanctity, presumably because the Great Spirit created His universe in a square frame. This is suggestive of the veneration accorded the tetrad by the Pythagoreans, who held it to be a fitting symbol of the Creator. The legendary narratives of the strange adventures of intrepid heroes who while in the physical body penetrated the realms of the dead prove beyond question the presence of Mystery cults among the North American red men. Wherever the Mysteries were established they were recognized as the philosophic equivalents of death, for those passing through the rituals experienced all after-death conditions while still in the physical body. At the consummation of the ritual the initiate actually gained the ability to pass in and out of his physical body at will. This is the philosophic foundation for the allegories of adventures in the Indian Shadow Land, or World of Ghosts.

... Sand paintings are often prepared in a series of representations within a consecrated hogan so the patient can be placed in the center of the pattern, on the sacred swastika."            -Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of the Ages

The American Indian swastika is [the image of] a feminine vortex that moves in harmony with the creative forces of Nature. It is perhaps the most nearly universal of religious emblems and represents the four corners of the world. The feminine vortex functions above the transitional door that leads to higher octaves and so is always positive and beneficial to the human race. The masculine vortex [created during WWII] is unpredictable and only operates beneath the door that leads to higher soul power. Many scholars assign Jupiter/Zeus/Odin the door of initiation that gives direct contact with oversoul. The text for any candidate is at least partially associated with Jupiterian issues. Positive Jupiter Urge:  Vision of and Dedication to The Universal Human [as itemized in The Sermon on the Mount.]

Negative Jupiter: Bigotry, prejudice, and racism.
