Twin Peaks Spoilers Ahead

For me, the most fascinating part of last night’s episode was a confirmation on my own theories regarding the mythology of Twin Peaks. In that its really about groups of magicians fighting to create their own version of reality. Lodge is the term used by most masonic groups to describe their organization. It is also used by several occult groups like the Golden Dawn. The black and white floor pattern and the red curtains are used by many of these groups in their temple rooms.

In episode twelve we see the rebirth of the Blue Rose Lodge. Their numbers being decimated in the last struggle to control the nexus point of Twin Peaks, they are finally regrouping by adding Tammy and Diane into their numbers. Why do I say Diane? She may be more than just a mole in the organization. She adds balance to their numbers who are all on the path of order. She fulfills the role of the “Man From Another Place” and confirms this by using the phrase, “Let’s rock.” She may ultimately betray the group, but just like Judas is necessary for Christ fulfilling his role in the crucifixion so that Jesus can ascend, they may need Diane to bring them closer to the source at Twin Peaks.  

It is my belief that the lodge formed over that convenience store, which was created by the atomic bomb, now controls Twin Peaks and that the forces of darkness and chaos have corrupted it. They tried to bring Agent Cooper into their fold in order to restore balance, but he too was corrupted by the demon BOB. 

There may also be more than two lodges operating here, and each lodge has their own internal strife and politics, and may even have some members that have cross-membership.

“As a member of the Bureau, I spend most of my time seeking simple answers to difficult questions. In the pursuit of Laura’s killer, I have employed Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, instinct, and luck. But now I find myself in need of something new, which, for lack of a better word, we shall call… magic.”

–Special Agent Dale Cooper

You see, when Dale Cooper acts as a psychopomp and ushers Leeland’s soul over to the other side, he in effect shows that his paradigm now reaches beyond death. He therefore becomes Jesus and can now soothe with a word.

Unfortunately, this also validates Bob’s existence within Cooper’s paradigm and make him susceptible to his power. Cooper thus sets up a negative feedback loop that forces him to take Bob into his godhood and try to control him. Whoa be it to the demiurge who tries to control Satan.

Essentially, Twin Peaks is about two rival gangs of magicians who have fought to a stand still in a Northwest town. They are now drawing in outside agencies to continue their battle.

The children of Twin Peaks are caught up in the shit storm of synchronicity that always follow such events.

Laura Palmer did not make it through her first initiation.

Dale Cooper is a young magician who believes he is on the cusp of a major break through. He is about to suffer a false enlightenment.
