1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The three jewels of Buddhism.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Something's trying to get our attention,

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
trying to tell us something.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
The Hindu, Tri-Morti.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
We see it going back very, very far

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
into the earliest aspects of human history.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And the Holy Trinity of Christianity.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The number represents a portal,

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
a gateway into another realm.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Throughout human history,

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
the number three has always had a unique significance.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
But why?

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
No matter what ancient culture you look at,

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
the highest ones always came as threes.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
What is it about the number three

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
that makes it play such a big role in religion,

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
architecture, and even the occult?

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
And could there be an extraterrestrial connection?

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Once we understand this power of three,

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
we ourselves will become like our creators,

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
the gods.

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Millions of people around the world

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
believe we have been visited in the past

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
by extraterrestrial beings.

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
What if it were true?

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And if so, might the secrets of the universe

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
be revealed by examining the incredible power of three?

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
New Grainge, Ireland

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
The walls of this 5,000-year-old passage tomb

31
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
are decorated with mysterious designs

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
made up of three connected spirals.

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Yunnan Province, China.

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Three 1,100-year-old Buddhist temples

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
known as the Three Pagodas.

36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Form a triangle thought to protect the population

37
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
from natural disasters.

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Ancient Greece.

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
According to myth,

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
the destiny of gods and men

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
is controlled by all powerful beings

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
known as the Three Fates.

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Various cultures across the world

44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
have long shared a belief

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
that the number three represents something sacred.

46
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Mystical. Even. Divine.

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
All human beings understand numbers.

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
All of us live in a physical universe

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
where things come in different numbers.

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
And so different cultures will highlight

51
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
different numbers as particularly important,

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
ritualize them, and make them culturally important.

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
We see widespread use of the number three

54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
in European traditions,

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
but also we see it in selected traditions

56
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
around the world, too.

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
These number traditions can become

58
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
very, very powerful and connect cultures together.

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
The unique reverence for the number three

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
dates back thousands of years

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
and can still be found today

62
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
in art, architecture, mythology,

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
literature, science, and religion.

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
But why?

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
What is it about this number

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
that has continued to hold

67
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
such significance for mankind?

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
If you think of our lives,

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
we have a past, a present, and a future.

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Our story falls neatly into three.

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Throughout folklore and mythology,

72
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
we find the number three.

73
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Something about three is trying to get our attention,

74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
trying to tell us something.

75
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
The number three comes up many, many times

76
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
in Judeo-Christian scriptures.

77
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Jonah is in the belly of the whale for three days.

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
In Genesis, the waters are separated from the earth

79
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
after three days.

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
In the New Testament, Jesus in the tomb for three days.

81
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
There's just a special significance there.

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
We see the number three in sacred texts.

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
And why is that?

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Is there something within us that is hardwired

85
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
to understand that three is a sacred number?

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
And where does this come from?

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
The Giza Plateau, Egypt.

88
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Three great pyramids line the desert just outside of Cairo.

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Constructed more than 4,000 years ago,

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
this unique trio of monuments

91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
is arguably the most recognizable in all the world.

92
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000
The pyramids also employ the most magnificent use of triangles

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
in architecture.

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
You had in ancient Egypt what we might think of as a Masonic tradition.

95
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
There were the builders themselves

96
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
who embodied the knowledge of geometry,

97
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
the knowledge of toolmaking,

98
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
and how to put buildings together,

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
and especially how to create buildings

100
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
that were themselves the vehicles for initiating

101
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
or inducing higher consciousness.

102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
The Giza pyramids are very interesting

103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
in that you have three major pyramids.

104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Their sides are triangles.

105
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Think of the triangle,

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
the simplest, most perfect geometric form.

107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000
The ancients were certainly intrigued by geometry,

108
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
indeed sacred geometry.

109
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
And certainly a triangle is one of those basic archetypal shapes

110
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
that perhaps is hardwired into the human consciousness.

111
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And this may find expression in monuments such as the pyramids.

112
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
You've got that progress towards perfection

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
towards the top of the triangle.

114
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
It's a very upward-directed, higher-directed shape,

115
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
and I think we kind of get that on a subconscious level.

116
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
So there is a sense in which the number three

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
in the form of the triangle,

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
in the form of the apex of the pyramid,

119
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
represents a portal, a gateway into another realm.

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
You might say it's a realm of the gods.

121
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Do the three pyramids of Giza really represent some sort of portal

122
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
to a divine realm?

123
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Perhaps more clues about the sacred nature of the triangle,

124
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
can be found by examining the work

125
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
of one of the most celebrated mathematicians of all time.

126
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Samos Greece, 6th century BC.

127
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras

128
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
introduces his famous theorem,

129
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

130
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
The formula explains the mathematical relationship

131
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
between the three sides of right triangles.

132
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000
In some believe, it was originally based on the design

133
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
of the Egyptian pyramids.

134
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Pythagoras lived 2,500 years ago.

135
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
It is said that he studied with the great teachers of Egypt,

136
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
and he brought the wisdom of Egypt back to Greece.

137
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
That, in effect, was the birth of Greek philosophy.

138
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
For Pythagoras, and for a lot of ancient philosophers,

139
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,000
mathematics was a kind of more precise description

140
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
of the supernatural.

141
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
They're coming to terms with man's place on this earth,

142
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
and one of the ways you do that is by measurements,

143
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
and measurements have to develop,

144
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
and when they develop, they develop more complex mathematics.

145
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
And Pythagoras is one of the very early philosophers

146
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
to develop this stuff.

147
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Pythagoras taught that everything in the universe

148
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
has a three-part structure,

149
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
and every problem in the universe

150
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
can be reduced diagrammatically to a triangle.

151
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
To Pythagoras and his followers,

152
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
the triangle represented ascension in the triangle itself,

153
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
and the number three was the key to all the hidden mysteries.

154
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
In Carnac, France, there are thousands of megalithic standing stones

155
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
that are over 6,000 years old,

156
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
and many of them are in the form of a right triangle

157
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
or a Pythagorean triangle,

158
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
and they were built many thousands of years before Pythagoras.

159
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
These same geometric relationships of the right triangle

160
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
have also been found at Ave. Burry and Penn Stonehenge.

161
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And you have to ask yourself,

162
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
does the Pythagorean triangle represent some kind of special

163
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
extraterrestrial geometry, a geometry of threes?

164
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
The bottom line is that A squared plus B squared equals C squared

165
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
applies to the entire universe.

166
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And so for Pythagoras to come up with this,

167
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
of course, is extraordinary, but he was not.

168
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
The first.

169
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
So we know that Pythagoras got this information from ancient Egypt,

170
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000
and the ancient Egyptians themselves say that this was knowledge from the gods.

171
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
So what we have is a situation whereby the ancient Egyptians got this information

172
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
from a non-human intelligence, from an extraterrestrial source,

173
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
preserved it in secret for thousands of years,

174
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
and Pythagoras is really the first one to take it outside of Egypt

175
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
and basically begin to speak to the world about what it is,

176
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
what the ancient Egyptians knew about this divine information.

177
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Did Pythagoras really get his knowledge of geometry

178
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000
and its profound connection to the universe from an otherworldly source?

179
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Pythagorean triangle may contain wisdom that we still haven't understood

180
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
in terms of how physical terrestrial geometry connects to extraterrestrial domains

181
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
that may coexist with our own.

182
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Did extraterrestrial visitors provide early humans with advanced mathematical information?

183
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Information that would help them unlock the secrets of the universe.

184
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
And if so, why?

185
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And what is the secret of the number three?

186
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Is it a code or could it be a gateway to communication with mankind's alien ancestors?

187
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe further evidence can be found

188
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:37,000
by examining a mysterious artifact, one that could very well change the world.

189
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Cambridge University, England

190
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Here, in the library of this 800-year-old institution, are the research papers of Sir Isaac Newton.

191
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
One of the most influential scientists of the 17th century,

192
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Newton introduced what became the basis of all modern physics.

193
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
The three laws of motion.

194
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
One of the things I think we often forget about people like Newton,

195
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000
he was also very much into alchemy and he was very much a mystic himself.

196
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
In mystical circles and in alchemy, three is considered a powerful number.

197
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
So it was natural for people to try and write things in threes

198
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
and break it down into threes.

199
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And in the book, it's a very simple and very simple book.

200
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Alchemy was a hope of early magicians or chemists.

201
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
The idea was that maybe they could just figure out how to combine different materials together.

202
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
They could wind up with something precious.

203
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
There was a long stand and interest in it.

204
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
And a lot of the sort of early scientific developments and even ideas of chemistry

205
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
came from this practice.

206
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Included among Newton's writings on philosophy, astronomy and mathematics

207
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:13,000
is a cryptic translation of an ancient document that has fascinated alchemists for centuries.

208
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
An emerald tablet.

209
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Carved on green crystal, the tablet is believed to be one of several that contained

210
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000
not only information on the practice of alchemy,

211
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,000
but the secrets of the universe.

212
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
But although it is referenced by Newton and written about in numerous other ancient texts,

213
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:44,000
the existence of the so-called emerald tablets is largely thought to be a myth.

214
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:52,000
The emerald tablet or tablets contained perhaps the most fundamental ancient wisdom.

215
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
The ancient wisdom of transmutation.

216
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
The secrets of longevity.

217
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
The secrets of the cosmos.

218
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000
And there are many different legends about this tablet or tablets.

219
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Some people say that they were found in the Great Pyramid thousands of years ago.

220
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The so-called emerald tablets had the secrets of alchemy.

221
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:31,000
And alchemy itself wasn't just about the transmutation of base matter into a pure state into gold.

222
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
But it was about the knowledge of the secrets of the universe.

223
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:46,000
About how we ourselves could transform ourselves and become at one with the universe as a whole.

224
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
The emerald tablets have a very interesting phrase.

225
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Three is the great mystery come from the Great One.

226
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It says that three is the great mystery that unifies the universe.

227
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:06,000
It says that power, wisdom, awareness all arises from this interplay of three.

228
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
What we're being confronted with in the emerald tablets is basically this notion

229
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
that if we take two substances, we can make a third substance out of this.

230
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Three as such is always the power of transformation.

231
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
It is the end result for the alchemist basically saying,

232
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000
I took certain things and I created something new.

233
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
And that is represented by the third element.

234
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
The information was written down which basically detailed that if anybody were to possess this knowledge,

235
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,000
he would become a master of life, a master over death,

236
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:47,000
a supernatural being who could do anything at will.

237
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Or early scientists like Isaac Newton seeking extraterrestrial knowledge.

238
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And was that knowledge based in part on a unique power inherent in the number three?

239
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Perhaps answers can be found by taking a closer look at the man many believe

240
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,000
to be the author of the emerald tablets, Hermes Trismegistus.

241
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Starting in the fourth century, BC, a character develops called Hermes Trismegistus.

242
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
His name just means Hermes Thrice Great.

243
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
So Hermes Trismegistus is the Hellenistic Egyptian version of the Greek Hermes.

244
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000
And he's associated with the Egyptian god Thoth.

245
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And so for that reason primarily he becomes associated with his magical practices of theergy,

246
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
which is doing the works of the gods influencing the world.

247
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
At some point as the Greeks moved into Egypt and the Romans moved into Egypt,

248
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
there was an endeavor to correlate the Egyptian traditions with the Greek and Roman traditions.

249
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,000
So you have this connection between Thoth and Hermes.

250
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And the idea in both cases is this is the deity that is the messenger or the link

251
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:21,000
between our human realm and the higher realm of the gods.

252
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:28,000
According to some legends, he was a reincarnation of Thoth, the ancient scribe of Egypt,

253
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
the scribe of the gods.

254
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000
He was an individual who brought knowledge, who brought wisdom.

255
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,000
He would consider Thrice Great three times great.

256
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Hermes descended from the sky in what was considered to be a flying ship.

257
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:56,000
And we have the exact same story in ancient Egypt with Thoth.

258
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Also having descended from the sky and his whole premise was to teach the people in scientific disciplines.

259
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Was Hermes Trismegistus really the reincarnation of the Egyptian god Thoth?

260
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And if so, did he serve as a messenger between man and the gods?

261
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:27,000
As the ancient Greeks believed, or might he have been as ancient astronaut theorists content,

262
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:36,000
an extraterrestrial being, one who brought mankind the knowledge of the universe in the form of emerald tablets?

263
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000
The emerald tablets are a fascinating body of knowledge.

264
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
It gives rise to the idea that many different systems, whether we're dealing with physics systems

265
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
or systems of consciousness, systems of philosophy, systems of religion,

266
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:58,000
will always be underlined by this prevalence of the number three.

267
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:09,000
So you have to ask yourself, is the emerald tablet some kind of extraterrestrial knowledge that's been handed down to us?

268
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:20,000
So maybe the key to immortality is written in the emerald tablet in a code of threes.

269
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Did extraterrestrial messengers really give mankind the secrets of the universe, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

270
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:36,000
And is one of the keys to rediscovering that knowledge related to the number three?

271
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Perhaps another clue can be found by examining a mysterious gland inside the human brain.

272
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:05,000
We have a chance to improve the lives of not just millions but billions of people on this planet through the research that's done.

273
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:16,000
U.S. President Barack Obama unveils an ambitious government-funded research project designed to map the human brain.

274
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Titled The Brain Initiative, the program promises to shed new light on how human beings learn, think, remember, and create.

275
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
So there are many things that science still does not understand about how the human brain works.

276
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:43,000
There's a hundred billion neurons in the brain and then there's about a hundred thousand trillion connections possible.

277
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:51,000
If we can understand that, if we can crack the neural code, it'll unlock a lot of answers to understanding things like disease and how to cure them.

278
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
And it really is the final frontier of human anatomy.

279
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Just how the human brain functions has remained a mystery that has puzzled mankind for thousands of years.

280
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:16,000
But according to many ancient cultures and religions, the workings of the brain are not the mere workings of a human organ, but are linked to something much more profound.

281
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Something of extraterrestrial origin.

282
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Litter Valley, Northern India.

283
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Here, on a snow-covered mountain in the heart of the Himalayas, lies the Amarnath Cave.

284
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Every summer, thousands of Hindus make the treacherous journey through the steep terrain to witness the formation of a massive vertical ice stalagmite, thought to represent Lord Shiva, one of the most powerful gods of Hinduism.

285
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:03,000
According to mythology, it was in this cave that Shiva revealed the secrets of creation to his goddess wife Parvati.

286
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:11,000
There are three great divine energies in the Hindu imagination involved in the creation story.

287
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Brahma actually creates things. This is the great God Brahma, brings things into being.

288
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Vishnu maintains reality and Shiva destroys. Now Shiva is just as important as the other two divine energies. In fact, the Trinity would not exist without the destruction.

289
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000
You cannot have renewal. You cannot have continued growth without the destructive energy.

290
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:51,000
In Hinduism, Shiva is often pictured with a trident, the prongs representing his three fundamental powers, will, action and knowledge.

291
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:59,000
He is also often illustrated as having a third eye in the middle of his forehead. But why?

292
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
In the iconography, he is clearly depicted with a vertical third eye right in the middle of his forehead.

293
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:19,000
With that eye, he can see things. He has a clairvoyance. When his eye opens, it also radiates a lot of energy through that eye.

294
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,000
And then when that is opened up, then everything becomes clear. And then, of course, the universe is yours.

295
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Because then you are able to communicate with everyone else because then you are in part with the cosmic frequency.

296
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:56,000
In the spiritual beliefs of many cultures, including ancient India, including many parts of Asia, there is a third eye that is located in the middle of the forehead, generally right between the two eyes.

297
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:04,000
And that is a center of spiritual power. And in some cases, it is thought to have supernatural powers.

298
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:21,000
In the principles of Freemasonry, there is a consistent and recurring notion that two sides or pillars can only find balance by the addition of a third center structure.

299
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:43,000
This center structure is often represented as a mystical or third eye. But why? Is it meant to represent that of an all-seeing God? Or does it suggest something quite different? Something, perhaps, that can even be found within the human brain?

300
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:59,000
You see this represented in many mystical traditions, that this is somehow the mystical eye. There have been many different theories about this. But one of the more interesting ones is that some people said it refers to the pineal gland, which is a light sensitive organ that is actually somewhere in here.

301
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Part of the endocrine system, the pineal gland is no larger than a grain of rice and is shaped like a pine cone. Though it is located deep in the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, it appears to share some characteristics with the human eye.

302
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:40,000
The function of the pineal gland is mainly to release a hormone called melatonin, which controls the sleep-wake cycles. So because it is light sensitive, it is sometimes called the third eye. And it has had some mystical implications as well, because it is this asymmetrical structure that is right in the center of the brain.

303
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Is it possible that ancient man was aware of the existence of the pineal gland? And if so, were they also aware of its special function within the brain?

304
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:25,000
The third eye is something that we see widely. Our two eyes, our bodily eyes, allow us to see around us. The third eye allows us to see beyond that. It allows us to see things that we would not normally see.

305
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Is it possible that a so-called third eye really exists? A part of the human brain that allows human beings to connect directly to something beyond themselves, even beyond this planet.

306
00:26:42,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Throughout history, the third eye has also been attributed for allowing you to travel to different dimensions, or astral traveling, and all those different things. So now my question is, how did these stories begin? Is it possible to astral travel? Is it possible to go places with your mind alone?

307
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:22,000
The concept of the third eye is supposedly our doorway to connecting with not only our higher selves, but other higher spirits, and possibly even to other worldly entities, like extraterrestrial entities.

308
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:48,000
The pineal gland acts as a hyperdimensional gateway. It is a functioning stargate within your brain. The pineal gland appears to create some type of bridge or wormhole inside your head. Exitrestrials may already understand this. It's a basic aspect of human physiology. We have a stargate built in.

309
00:27:49,000 --> 00:28:10,000
And you have to wonder then, if we are created possibly by extraterrestrials, and they know that we have this third eye, that part of their mission is to influence us and cultivate us to the point where we are able to utilize this third eye that we've been given.

310
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Could an actual part of the human brain really help to explain why mankind functions so differently from other life forms on our planet? Could this tiny gland offer a key to understanding? Why human beings create art, music, and literature?

311
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Why we bury our dead and devote time to contemplating our own existence? Perhaps the answers can be found in the stories of divine figures appearing across the ancient world in powerful groups of three.

312
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:15,000
The Nong Provinces, Central China. Here, along the shores of the Yi River, are 1,352 ancient caves known as the Longmen Grottoes.

313
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Dating back to 493 AD, they contain the most spectacular collection of Buddhist cave art in the world. One of the largest of the over 100,000 stone statues at the site is of the Amitabha Buddha, or the Buddha of infinite light.

314
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:45,000
He is flanked on either side by his two assistants, and collectively they are known as the Three Saints of the West.

315
00:29:46,000 --> 00:30:03,000
For some reason, the sacred mysteries are often presented as threefold. In Mahayana Buddhism, the three guides are Amitabha, the Buddha of infinite light, and his two companions, one representing wisdom and one compassion.

316
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:24,000
It is significant that throughout the ancient world, gods and leaders would often appear in threesomes. For some reason, the triad shows up as a divine powerful principle. Something about three is telling us some important information about wholeness.

317
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Why have cultures all over the world envisioned their divine leaders and mythic heroes in power structures of three? Perhaps an answer can be found by examining the stories of the Three Saints and the celestial realm of the Amitabha Buddha, known as the Western Pure Land.

318
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:10,000
In the former life, Amitabha Buddha was believed to have been a king who renounced his kingdom through a series of vows, and these vows were vows to create a pure Buddha land.

319
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:19,000
The Western Pure Land was thought to be actually real, and to exist outside of the normal confines of time and space.

320
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Amitabha Buddha will come to your deathbed and personally escort you to this western paradise. The Buddha Amitabha have two assistants, two bodhisattvas. The idea is that if you see three, it gives you a feeling that there's plenty of help coming.

321
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:56,000
The last moments of life are very important in this form of Buddhism. These guiding figures are prime examples of the power of three manifesting in a sacred teaching, helping one to a greater level of consciousness.

322
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Is the Western Pure Land really a state of enlightenment, as mainstream scholars believe? Or might these three saints be guiding the deceased to a divine, perhaps even extraterrestrial realm?

323
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers can be found in the descriptions of this spiritual paradise.

324
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:35,000
The Amitabha Buddha believed that this was a literal place, peopled with gods and goddesses, that would give you knowledge and information.

325
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And in this place, everyone appears to be golden, and you have the ability to see anything in the universe, the ability to travel anywhere on earth that you want.

326
00:32:47,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Is this really just a myth, or is the Amitabha Buddha an example of an extraterrestrial who visited earth and was able to achieve some higher grade of evolution while he was here, and then help others achieve that as well?

327
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Might the Amitabha Buddha actually have been an otherworldly visitor? And if so, might the three saints of Pure Land Buddhism not just guide the dead to an afterlife, but physically change them into higher functioning beings?

328
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Beings with extraterrestrial capabilities.

329
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and believe further proof can be found in the story of another mythic trio, one that undertook an epic journey, not to a divine land after death, but towards a divine life here on planet earth.

330
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Cologne, Germany

331
00:33:47,000 --> 00:34:02,000
For centuries, a steady stream of visitors have gathered inside this Gothic cathedral to view a golden sarcophagus thought to contain the bones of the biblical magi, also known as the Three Wise Men.

332
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:22,000
While the journey of the Three Wise Men is one of the most popular and best known of the stories concerning the birth of Jesus Christ, little is actually known about these mysterious figures.

333
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:42,000
According to the Gospels, the Three Kings or the Three Wise Men came from the east. At the time that the Gospels were being written, that was an area of the world which for Westerners was considered to be the source of all magic and mysticism.

334
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:56,000
The magi were the ancient priesthood of Persia or Iran as we tend to call it now, and they go way back to 3000 BC probably, or even more.

335
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:10,000
The magi were particularly interested in the stars. They were looking at the different influences that these different stars and planets had at given times, and that was part and parcel of their tradition.

336
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:25,000
The Three Wise Men traveled thousands of miles to what we call the Holy Land, and they found Bethlehem apparently without a map. They were astronomers. It says they followed a star.

337
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:39,000
But did the Three Wise Men actually exist? Or did the story of their journey to visit the infant Jesus have other, even more other, worldly origins?

338
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:49,000
The star we are told leads them, so the star is moving, and it's flying, and it's intelligently guided because it's leading them to a destination.

339
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:58,000
And it hovers over the manger where Jesus is laid. It shines a light down to illuminate the manger where Jesus is laid.

340
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:17,000
So you have to wonder whether possibly the Three Magi themselves were extraterrestrial gods, or perhaps the star of Bethlehem itself was some kind of extraterrestrial spaceship that was guiding the Three Magi.

341
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Were the Three Wise Men astral travelers guided by other worldly technology? Or is there presence in the story of Jesus really some sort of code, one intended to connect Jesus with other mythic stories and religions in which the number three has profound significance?

342
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:51,000
There are those who believe that an answer can be found by examining the three gifts that each of the Magi reportedly brought to the Son of God.

343
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Gold, representing the physical and material needs of the child during his lifetime.

344
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Frankincense, an ancient aromatic resin which when burned is thought to be effective in mind expansion and enlightenment.

345
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:19,000
And myrrh, an oil often associated with death and embalming, representing the afterlife.

346
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:38,000
But why three gifts, and why only those three? Perhaps the answers can be found, written into the ancient biological language that is as old as life itself. A language containing a code of threes.

347
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:57,000
There is a theory that the key to unlocking the power of the number three lies in the mystery of the Holy Trinity. That the notion of three divine persons in one God refers to the three states of being.

348
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,000
God the Father, the intellectual or ethical self.

349
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,000
God the Son, the physical and actual self.

350
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,000
And God the Holy Spirit, the emotional or aspirational self.

351
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Past, present and future. God and man as one.

352
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Kasser al-Yahud, Israel.

353
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Here, tens of thousands of Christians make their way to what is believed to be the site of Christ's baptism in the river Jordan.

354
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:46,000
It was also here that according to scripture, God revealed himself as being made up of three divine persons.

355
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:56,000
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as the Holy Trinity.

356
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:05,000
In the story of Jesus' baptism, Jesus is standing in the Jordan River and we're totally in the same place.

357
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:15,000
We're standing in the same river and we're told that the heavens open up and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descends upon Jesus.

358
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:26,000
And the voice of God booms out of heaven and says, this is my son whom I love and whom I am well pleased.

359
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:35,000
In that scene, all three parts of the Trinity are represented, their Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

360
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:42,000
What makes it a mathematical conundrum is how can you be one and three?

361
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:49,000
So it is a mystery and some people don't even question it because it is a matter of faith.

362
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:57,000
And so made in that image, we could make the argument that there's a Trinity within each and every one of us.

363
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Could the triune nature of God as described in the New Testament also exist in all of mankind?

364
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:22,000
And if so, does this suggest that the power of three might somehow connect humanity with divine or as some would believe, extraterrestrial forces?

365
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers can be found not only in the Bible but encoded within the genetic blueprint of the human body.

366
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Huntington, New York, 1966.

367
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Scientists announced one of the greatest breakthroughs of modern science.

368
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:55,000
They have successfully deciphered the genetic code.

369
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:07,000
After years of research, they discover that the universal structure of DNA consists of a series of three molecule combinations known as codons or triplets.

370
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
You had this DNA sequence and it codes for ultimately the proteins in your body.

371
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,000
And the question was how does it code for that? Does each individual base pair represent something?

372
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Is it two at a time that represents something? Is it a sequence of ten?

373
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,000
And it turns out that it's very clear it comes in clusters of three.

374
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Essentially, the number three is the key to our DNA language.

375
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:52,000
And this was revolutionary for its time because the ancient alien theory has always suggested that the ultimate proof of extraterrestrial tampering in our past will not come in the form of a crashed spaceship or some type of tools,

376
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,000
but the actual proof will come from within our own DNA.

377
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:05,000
This may in fact be a universal manifestation of the power of three.

378
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:11,000
In time, I believe we will find out that DNA is written into the background of the universe itself.

379
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:23,000
It is assembled by the basic laws of quantum physics and the underlying power of three is an essential tool in seeing the hand of the divine architect at work in making us who we are today.

380
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:32,000
The number three is the key to unlocking the ancient mysteries. We see threes everywhere.

381
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:39,000
And it's a possible pointer to the idea that the three is the guiding principle of the universe and manifests even in our DNA.

382
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:54,000
So we can see here how this power of three is pervasive all through the universe, including in our own DNA.

383
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:10,000
And it's a possible that it's extraterrestrials who've encoded this within us and that once we understand this power of three, we ourselves will become like our creators, the gods.

384
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Does the physical expression of a power of three, found within our own DNA, really prove an extraterrestrial design for mankind?

385
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,000
A design whose meaning we are only just beginning to comprehend?

386
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Or could the answer lie in a combination of all the trios and trinities embedded throughout the mythical and religious world?

387
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Perhaps the answer will lead us back to mankind's place of origin and the ultimate proof that our origins lie not on Earth, but out of this world.
