Stanley Kubrick & Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

       Tracy R. Twyman is a courageous researcher, and a good one at that! Here, I'm excerpting out of her book "Clock Shavings" and why I put the title up "Stanley Kubrick, etc". You gotta check this out. Oh and, I will also add one more link, haha. This one: The "Black Eye" Club. You'll see why when you read it.

Ok, from Clock Shavings, page 274:

      "Interestingly, the "Second Square" on the Ageio board encompasses the three inner rings of black and white squares on the chessboard, where the "real power," and his city of Enoch, resides. Since the underworld is a reverse and negation of the heavenly realm, it only makes sense to think of this infernal cubic city as black. Masonic writer, Albert Pike, said in his Morals and Dogma that:

   The Ancients adored the Sun under the form of a black stone, called the Elagabalus, or Heliogabulua. The faithful are promised, in the Apocalypse, a white stone.

      Another Masonic writer, Manly P. Hall, brings up this subject, as well as the obvious connections which spring to mind regarding the Black Stone venerated by Muslims inside of the black cubic Kaaba temple in Mecca. This stone is believed by the faithful to have "fallen from Heaven." There is a tradition going back at least to Iman Ali stating that the Black Stone brought the germ of life with it. The veneration of this stone at this site of the Kaaba shrine is older than Islam. So too is the shape of the temple and many of the rituals that are still performed there, now in the name of Allah instead of pagan gods.
       The polytheist Kaaba was formerly the home of 360 stone idols who were consulted by the pre-Islamic pagans there for divination and spell-casting purposes. The location is thought by Muslims today to be the center-point of the world, with a "gate to Heaven" open above it. On this subject, Manly P. Hall wrote in Secret Teachings of All Ages that:

   Divination by stones was often resorted to by the Greeks, and Helena is said to have foretold by lithomancy the destruction of Troy... The black stone also appears several times in religious symbolism. It was called Heliogabalus, a word presumably derived from Elagabal, the Syro-Phoenician sun god. This stone was sacred to the sun and declared to possess great and diversified properties. The black stone in the Caaba at Mecca is still revered throughout the Mohammedan world. It is said to have been white originally and of such brilliancy [but it fell from heaven, right?] that it could be seen many day's journey from Mecca, but as ages passed it became blackened by the tears of pilgrims and the sins of the world.

Hahahahaaa.

Here's the full movie 2001 Space Oddity. Check out the black gate/stone. And check out the kids left eye in the last part.
Oh and, when you watch the movie...check out in the beginning of it, the Arabs and Jews.
