The Science on Kanye West’s Portrait of “Power”

Power

There are not many artists who exist today that are artistically driven to actually create art. That statement can never be said about Kanye West. Each and every time he comes to the table, it always feels as if he lays everything out and walks away with nothing. He seemingly appears to be an artist who actual cares about creating artistically driven creations. His latest visual work “The Portrait of Power” is indeed a visually creative and artistic piece of work. However, the Illuminati and Satanist conspiracy theorist have come out of the woodwork to label Kanye’s latest work as “satanic.” I’m not going to get into whether or not Kanye is a Mason or baby Illuminati member or if the visuals in this video is satanic in nature. However, I will give you a short breakdown of what the visuals are and what the song is talking about.

The Sword of Damocles

Kanye’s slow walk into an orgy of decadence and destruction is based on a Greek legend. The legend is about Damocles, a figure in Greek mythology that was a servant of Dionysus II. Damocles spoke to Dionysus one day about how fortunate he was to have so much power and fortune. Dionysus then offered to switch places with Damocles for a day so that he could experience the life for himself. Damocles happily agreed to the switch and a banquet was held that night with Damocles being treated as a king. However, toward the end of his meal Damocles noticed a sword hanging over his head by a single strand of horse hair. He no longer enjoyed any of the festivities for fear of the sword striking and killing him. Damocles immediately lost all interest in the king’s life of food and beautiful women. Dionysus had successfully allowed Damocles to experience the constant danger that comes with the power and fortune he had.

This is what a $300,000 gold Horus and chain looks like...

The pendant hanging from his neck is Egyptian God and son of Isis and Osiris, Horus. In Egyptian mythology, Horus was conceived through immaculate conception and was once the state God of Egypt.

In my opinion, nice visual and overall nice work but that’s just me.

What do you think and what do you see?

    I see a mixture of things. A very confused but genius mind at work here. This is what I see first. Above Kanyes head is what looks like a halo with a sword through it but what it actually is if you look closely and if you have any knowledge of it, it is the sign of Phi which represents God. Next thing i noticed was the Egyptian Sun god of Horus, which has all the familiar characteristics of Jesus; born on Dec. 25th, three Kings followed the North
    Star to find him, born to a virgin, died buried and resurrected after 3 days (all having astrological meaning dealing with the sun). Then I saw the woman with the horns holding what look to be the Rod of Ptah. The Rod of Ptah is said to be what the Egyptians used to build the great pyramids and other great structures as well as Stone Hinge, yes Stone Hinge. Next is the sign of Aquarius upside down not quite sure of the meaning though, but in biblical text Jesus said follow the man pouring the pot of water ( I know the meaning of that but research it for your own understanding). Imma stop there before I let out too much. Ha Ha Ha Im on my ish!!!!!
