THE MAGIC EPISODE
I have been studying audio/visual synchronicity for a long time. Something that became apparent extremely quickly was the existence of what I call "the magic episode" of a TV show. There are several very special episodes with different TV shows (for example 'Stargate SG1 - Grace') but there is one in particular which I consider to be the supreme "magic episode". This is 'LOST' season 3 episode 20 'The Man Behind The Curtain'.
A "magic episode" will synchronise with seemingly every music album in the world, as well as additional audio. Nearly all will begin at their natural starting point, but a rare few will have an alternative starting point, and also rarely a track will be missed out. The special episodes will always be reliable, but THE magic episode has never yet failed with any album I have tried, and is usually very powerful. Normally the best ones have a weak start, but here are some good examples of the start with the beginning of different albums. As always these may make more sense beyond what is obvious if you are familiar with the episode and the show...

(This is a good example of how your average first song ends when the 'LOST' title appears.)

Now imagine that with EVERY album, all the way through the episode/album, with both repeating for hours and hours, always synchronising in new ways until eventually it returns to the starting point (and begins again). Clearly this is something of extreme significance, yet it is one of those things that is not widely known. But I have seen indications that those who made this episode seem to know what they have done.
To give you a visual example of the episode, one famous synchronicity is Pink Floyd's 'Echoes' with the last scene of the film '2001 A Space Odyssey'. In synchronicities where that song plays, often images from that scene appear within the video. Here is an example of how the visuals play in the same order in the film and the episode, as the same song synchronises with both...
Arrival in the vehicle
Wearing helmet
Suddenly much older
Looks down at old bald man, left hand on chest, right hand reaching out
(episode restarts)
Black rectangular block
Now becomes a baby - born again.
You might notice this with other films and TV episodes which synchronise with the song 'Echoes'. For example the film 'Nosferatu' synchronises with the album 'Meddle', beginning at track 2. You might notice that when the song plays the images begin to match up with what happens in '2001 A Space Odyssey'.
But concerning these "magic episodes", it seems within the most powerful ones, the Pattern itself plays a part as one of the characters. For example in THE magic episode it is a mysterious entity living in an old cabin, an invisible man (or woman) that can only be seen by faith. What exactly happened in that cabin was never plainly explained within the show, and all interpretations allow it to fit, so it is not ALWAYS the Pattern, but may sometimes be an imposter, or something else.
Here are two examples. If you consider them carefully, they explain about the Pattern, and how to see the "invisible man". Note the picture of a DOG is sometimes referred to as a mirror, reflecting GOD...

The "I AM!" "Me, Myself and I" Trinity. Ben doesn't really see, and speaks falsely for it, possibly thinking it's the entity that appears as his mother, yet "not the girl you think you see - but maybe that's a lie."

The "Nowhere Man" controls the world, but doesn't just do everything himself, so asks Locke to lend him a hand.
Also if you consider the story being told by the episode it has some interesting parallels. For example it tells the story of someone's life from birth to death. However at the end it is another who takes his place in "the grave" (only to rise again of course, just as Ben is also born again because of the cyclic nature of the episode - the music continues beyond physical death). Within the story of the whole show his replacement Locke is also a powerful Christ likeness, who does the same thing and becomes a willing sacrifice, only to be (apparently) raised to life again, but is actually impersonated by a Satan-like character. Notice too the prominence of the tape recorder (which looks like the monolith) during the episode, sometimes representing the soundtrack you are using.
