00:17:17,679 impression that the the united kingdom 499 00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:19,520 only has you know beautiful sunny 500 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:21,120 weather 501 00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:24,160 but the landscape is gorgeous and 502 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:26,079 there are things there that are so much 503 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,280 older than what we bumped into in the 504 00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:30,960 in north america 505 00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:32,640 very interesting to 506 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:34,880 to get some insights into what those 507 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:37,280 areas are like 508 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:38,000 and 509 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:40,400 for your experience like you've been 510 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,480 out there at least 511 00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:44,480 i know you hadn't actually been out 512 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:47,280 there until a while after starting to to 513 00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:48,320 research 514 00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:49,039 so 515 00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:56,720 not a problem now i know that 516 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,960 your time out there you 517 00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:00,240 you you'd kind of been surprised you 518

528 00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:19,440 i've always been a researcher who built 529 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:21,120 on the work of other 530 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:22,720 researchers who came before me for 531 00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:24,880 instance my dogan work 532 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,080 is primarily based on 533 00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:31,280 30-year study of the dogan tribe in mali 534 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,440 by some french anthropologists 535 00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:34,960 and there are any number of these 536 00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:37,919 primary source uh works out there 537 00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:38,799 that 538 00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:42,640 just waiting for someone to um to 539 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,840 massage it and work with it and 540 00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:45,120 understand it 541 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,400 so i've never been a person who felt 542 00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:47,840 like i had to be 543 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:49,840 at the site necessarily to get the best 544 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:52,960 insights into the 545 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:55,600 topics i'm researching but in this case 546 00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:57,840 work in the island is um 547 00:19:01,110 --> 00:18:59,440 it's just really starting to come into 548 00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:01,120 the consciousness of 549 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:02,000 of 550 00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:03,840 researchers like myself 551 00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:06,000 um there were very interesting things 552 00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:08,640 going on there at 3200 bc there's a 553 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,679 there's a recent bbc documentary uh that 554 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:13,760 suggests out 555 00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:15,840 where they are emphasizing um how the 556 00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:17,039 roots of pretty much all of the 557 00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:19,600 megalithic um construction the 558 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:21,600 stonehenge and everything 559 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,400 uh related to that around the uk 560 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:27,600 began there in orkney island and so 561 00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:29,200 the sites that we would be taking people 562 00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:30,640 to include 563 00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:31,679 a little 564 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:34,400 village called scarabray eight 565 00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:37,360 uh stone houses that are interpreted as 566 00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:39,039 being the first 567 00:19:42,870 --> 00:19:41,280 farming village in the uk 568 00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:42,880 uh we'll be seeing 569 00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:43,919 um 570 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,280 stone cairns burial cairns there's a 571 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:51,600 famous burial cairn called maize howe 572 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:55,200 that we'll take a tour inside of 573 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:57,600 there are there's a 574 00:20:01,270 --> 00:19:59,600 the city of kirkwall which is the major 575 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:01,280 city on orkney island which is just a 576 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:03,120 beautiful little little town we've got a 577 00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:05,760 chance to explore 578 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:08,320 there are museums there to see there are 579 00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:10,000 really hundreds of little sites you 580 00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:12,320 probably spend um 581 00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:14,160 quite a period of time there exploring 582 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,440 if you wanted to see everything that was 583 00:20:19,590 --> 00:20:17,280 on the island 584 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:19,600 but this is all very very early 585 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:20,480 stuff 586 00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:22,320 and researchers really don't have a good 587 00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:23,600 concept of 588 00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:25,679 what it was about so there's a whole 589 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:27,840 wealth of material here to be looked at 590 00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:29,280 and interpreted and 591 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:30,799 tried to connect 592 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,679 the dots to other traditions 593 00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:35,600 now i i know 594 00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:36,320 that 595 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:37,679 at least there's a lot of people who are 596 00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:40,400 asking questions in facebook and i've 597 00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:44,000

don't really have a need for an 646 00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:21,440 official page or any of the overhead of 647 00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:23,919 trying to maintain an official page 648 00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:25,840 yeah i i can say that from from personal 649 00:22:28,789 --> 00:22:27,280 experience uh 650 00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:28,799 i you know coming from an advertising 651 00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:31,120 field i understand all the basics and 652 00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:32,640 especially a lot of the advanced stuff 653 00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,799 in terms of uh you know just con getting 654 00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:36,480 in contact with people building a 655 00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:38,720 community making sure that people uh not 656 00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:40,559 only can engage you but

tremendous amount 660 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:49,919 of time to do if you've got multiple 661 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:52,159 pages you're constantly going back and 662 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,360 forth uh it you know it takes a very 663 00:23:00,070 --> 00:22:57,120 very strong mind and someone with very 664 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:00,080 good uh multitasking skills 665 00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:03,200 to to do it if you've got too many 666 00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:06,080 yes and that multiplies pretty fast no 667 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:08,240 but um i'm 668 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:11,679 uh i'm easily found on facebook and um 669 00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:14,320 i try to um make announcements of things 670 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,440 that i'm doing and things i'm 671 00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:17,520 discovering on my own facebook page and 672 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:19,120 seems like a sort of centralized place 673 00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:20,400 for people to 674 00:23:23,909 --> 00:23:22,400 to find out about me now larry i want to 675 00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:23,919 apologize now if you start getting an 676 00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:25,840 avalanche of friend requests in the next 677 00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:27,039 couple of minutes 678 00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:28,960 um but i know that i've got some people 679 00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:30,240 saying that they are 680 00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:31,280 now 681 00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:32,640 there is one question that i did want to 682 00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:34,640 ask you uh originally this was actually 683 00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:36,159 this is actually from a listener that's 684 00:23:39,750 --> 00:23:38,080 coming in via twitter 685 00:23:41,590 --> 00:23:39,760 and 686 00:23:43,270 --> 00:23:41,600 see if i can 687 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:43,280 oh twitter actually changed their entire 688 00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:44,480 interface while i was setting up the 689 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,880 show today apparently 690 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:48,640 like their app just completely changed 691 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:50,880 i'm like what is this like where where's 692 00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:52,240 the messages okay 693 00:23:57,590 --> 00:23:54,799 uh let's see here 694 00:24:00,789 --> 00:23:57,600 this is from 695 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:00,799 a mr rn voot 696 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:04,320 and let's see here 697 00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:11,269 let's see here oh 698 00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:16,870 now the question actually starts at if 699 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:19,120 it asks whether you've inadvertently 700 00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:21,039 discovered the ark of the covenant 701 00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:22,080 and 702 00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:25,600 used to write emails like this exactly 703 00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:27,120 so i understand where he's coming from 704 00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:28,880 this may sound nuts but please bear with 705 00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:29,760 me 706 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:32,880 uh mystery is a scarabray on page 101 707 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:36,000 in egypt the word ness implies a concept 708 00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:38,400 of authorized ownership that rises to 709 00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:40,880 the level of legal property the dogon 710 00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:43,919 term su refers to an agreement 711 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:47,120 covenant means agreement or agreed deed 712 00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:48,960 by legal contract 713 00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:52,080 uh and apparently on page 129 regarding 714 00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:55,679 the burial of the site or covering over 715 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,320 which uh you likened to the dogon 716 00:25:01,990 --> 00:25:00,320 egyptian term 717 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:02,000 and this is it's hyphenated so please 718 00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:04,320 forgive me 719 00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:08,159 and the druid arch also meaning to bury 720 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:10,240 so the 721 00:25:15,029 --> 00:25:12,720 rationale being thus scarab ray being 722 00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:15,039 formally agreed to be buried or covered 723 00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:16,480 over indicates the ritual being 724 00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:18,240 described as the brewing of the 725 00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:21,360 agreement or ark of the covenant 726 00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:25,120 so that's kind of the simple theory 727 00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:26,000 okay 728 00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:27,120 language 729 00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:29,360 um is a really important tool for 730 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:31,679 pointing us to what uh the meanings of 731 00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:33,200 things might have been 732 00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:34,799 they're like one of the starting points 733 00:25:39,909 --> 00:25:36,880 we're trying to explore 734 00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:39,919 um what a thing might have meant um 735 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:42,400 whoever put the symbolic system together 736 00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:44,720 that i'm working with took very great 737 00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:45,600 care 738 00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:46,480 to 739 00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:48,960 um with the relationship of words that 740 00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:51,279 started out as a phonetic 741 00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:53,200 system that happened before written 742 00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:56,080 language appeared and so relationships 743 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,799 between words rest on similarities of 744 00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:00,159 pronunciation 745 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,440 in fact 746 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:03,600 individual terms important terms of the 747 00:26:08,710 --> 00:26:06,720 cosmology carry clusters of meanings 748 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:08,720 typically that are are unrelated to one 749 00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:10,640 another that's one of the ways you can 750 00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:12,880 correlate things between languages is 751 00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:15,039 you have a cluster of three or four or 752 00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:16,720 five or six meanings 753 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:18,640 that line up in both languages 754 00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:20,960 associated with the same word and now 755 00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:21,679 you 756 00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:23,760 have a foundation for 757 00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:24,880 for 758 00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:26,720 claiming a correlation between the words 759 00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:28,799 that that doesn't follow traditional 760 00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:31,600 linguistics it depends more on 761 00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:34,240 cosmology cosmological comparison but 762 00:26:39,029 --> 00:26:35,679 the word arc 763 00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:39,039 okay a lot one of the um i say this one 764 00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:40,320 of the 765 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:44,080 techniques was used symbolically to 766 00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:46,240 communicate information over 767 00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:48,320 a period of long periods of time 768 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:51,120 was they would bury certain objects or 769 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:55,120 or some leave symbolic 770 00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:56,480 artifacts 771 00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:58,400 alongside sites like this they would 772 00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:00,720 they would bury and 773 00:27:03,909 --> 00:27:02,400 um 774 00:27:05,669 --> 00:27:03,919 because of the similarities of the way 775 00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:05,679 words are pronounced 776 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:07,440 the thing they buried is pronounced like 777 00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:09,200 the thing they're trying to tell you 778 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:12,159 the message they're trying to get to 779 00:27:17,990 --> 00:27:14,559 an egyptian word for that means to cover 780 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:18,000 over is pronounced arc well arc also is 781 00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:21,520 a word that refers to 782 00:27:26,549 --> 00:27:23,440 a primary structure of matter it's a 783 00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:26,559 spiral of matter and these sites on 784 00:27:30,390 --> 00:27:28,240 orkney island that lead to the scarab 785 00:27:32,789 --> 00:27:30,400 ray village are laid out 786 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:32,799 conceptually in the form of a spiral 787 00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:35,039 and so it's reasonable to think that in 788 00:27:39,029 --> 00:27:37,279 the mindset of this cosmology that 789 00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:39,039 you can apply that term arc to the 790 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:40,240 spiral 791 00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:41,039 so 792 00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:43,440 covering over the sites and deliberately 793 00:27:50,950 --> 00:27:48,549 allows you to make the argument that 794 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:50,960 that uh the terms arc was 795 00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:53,039 was was what was intended you have a 796 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:54,320 similar thing happening at go back to 797 00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:56,480 tepe where things were buried over 798 00:27:58,950 --> 00:27:57,440 um 799 00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:58,960 there's another 800 00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:00,320 word arc 801 00:28:04,630 --> 00:28:02,000 um actually there's a word that that 802 00:28:06,630 --> 00:28:04,640 means sticks are over um where the 803 00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:06,640 symbols of the word 804 00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:07,840 um 805 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:09,760 depict 806 00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:10,640 um 807 00:28:14,789 --> 00:28:12,720 a daily action that happens in hebrew 808 00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:14,799 when they um are finished reading from 809 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:17,200 the torah scroll you might not know that 810 00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:18,640 every 811 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:20,240 hebrew temple in the world reads the 812 00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:22,480 same portion of the torah scroll on the 813 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,720 same day and during the course of the 814 00:28:28,149 --> 00:28:26,240 year they make their all the way all the 815 00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:28,159 way through the the torah scroll and 816 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:29,919 then rewind it at the end of the year 817 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:30,960 but when they're finished reading 818 00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:34,320 today's portion then they carefully 819 00:28:39,590 --> 00:28:37,360 cover over the torah scroll and tie it 820 00:28:42,149 --> 00:28:39,600 and place it in a cabinet called an 821 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:42,159 oronha kodesh which gets abbreviated 822 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:44,720 abbreviated to ark 823 00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:46,240 well the glyphs of this egyptian word 824 00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:48,159 that means to cover over 825 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:50,320 shows the picture of a set pictures that 826 00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:51,600 essentially 827 00:28:56,230 --> 00:28:52,799 imply a 828 00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:56,240 scroll being tied and covered over 829 00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:57,760 and so 830 00:29:01,510 --> 00:28:59,840 it's another reason to think that 831 00:29:03,029 --> 00:29:01,520 there's a ritual purpose behind this 832 00:29:05,430 --> 00:29:03,039 covering of these sites 833 00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:05,440 that it's saying whatever instructional 834 00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:06,399 purpose 835 00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:07,840 was supposed to be accomplished at this 836 00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:09,760 site was finished and now that we're 837 00:29:13,269 --> 00:29:11,520 finished with it we're putting it away 838 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:13,279 the same way we put away 839 00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:15,520 a taurus call after we had finished 840 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:18,480 a portion of reading that 841 00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:19,840 so 842 00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:21,919 you could to try to attach that to the 843 00:29:27,669 --> 00:29:25,440 concept of the ark of the covenant 844 00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:27,679 it's likely that the term arc is 845 00:29:31,350 --> 00:29:29,120 connected and 846 00:29:32,630 --> 00:29:31,360 that the concepts are connected the 847 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:32,640 problem is 848 00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:34,960 that the arc of the covenant concept is 849 00:29:39,269 --> 00:29:36,320 a leading enough concept from my 850 00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:39,279 perspective that it doesn't 851 00:29:42,710 --> 00:29:40,799 clearly tie 852 00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:42,720 to 853 00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:46,880 intended 854 00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:48,880 from the perspective of 855 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:50,799 say christianity when they talk about 856 00:29:56,389 --> 00:29:53,840 the arab covenant it's hard to 857 00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:56,399 anchor what they were talking about 858 00:30:02,070 --> 00:29:59,120 um the era that i'm looking at was was 859 00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:02,080 longer before christianity 860 00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:04,720 than we are after christianity 861 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:07,360 because the era i'm looking at is maybe 862 00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:10,080 200 years before christianity and we're 863 00:30:14,310 --> 00:30:12,640 only 2 000 some years after 864 00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:14,320 so you can imagine 865 00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:15,279 the 866 00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:19,120 way people communicate things so yes 867 00:30:22,230 --> 00:30:20,320 it's a possibility because of the 868 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:22,240 resemblance of terms that there might be 869 00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:23,919 a connection to the ark of the covenant 870 00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:25,520 but there's not enough information in 871 00:30:28,710 --> 00:30:26,960 the letter tradition to know what that 872 00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:28,720 connection might be 873 00:30:33,430 --> 00:30:30,480 uh i've got a question from from the 874 00:30:36,389 --> 00:30:33,440 youtube chat which and they're asking um 875 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:36,399 with this covering over uh wrapping 876 00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:38,080 would i should say would this covering 877 00:30:42,310 --> 00:30:39,919 over and wrapping be related to early 878 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:42,320 clothing for you know for example togas 879 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:43,760 in greece or 880 00:30:53,669 --> 00:30:51,110 indirectly yes um 881 00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:53,679 the mindset of what was happening in 882 00:30:58,310 --> 00:30:56,159 these ancient times is 883 00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:58,320 uh that there was a civilized a 884 00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:00,240 deliberate civilizing plan whose main 885 00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:02,720 goal was to teach us how to be farmers 886 00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:04,960 as opposed to hundreds and gatherers and 887 00:31:10,630 --> 00:31:08,399 that that civilizing plan was tagged to 888 00:31:13,029 --> 00:31:10,640 the symbolic cosmology that talks about 889 00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:13,039 concepts of creation there's sort of a 890 00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:15,440 if you know about mnemonics where 891 00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:16,960 you try to use one thing to help you 892 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:19,440 remember another thing 893 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:22,320 that each of the skills of agriculture 894 00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:23,760 that were being taught 895 00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:24,480 were 896 00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:26,320 framed in a way so that if you could 897 00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,559 remember how to plow a field you could 898 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:30,320 remember a certain concept relating to 899 00:31:35,029 --> 00:31:32,880 creation concepts of creation 900 00:31:38,549 --> 00:31:35,039 and clothing was one of those related 901 00:31:40,149 --> 00:31:38,559 concepts it represents it has symbolism 902 00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:40,159 that connects to 903 00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:42,320 one of these stages of creation 904 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:44,640 and so there's a connection through the 905 00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:46,880 cosmology to that but not directly to 906 00:31:52,230 --> 00:31:49,440 this idea of covering over a site 907 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:52,240 okay now another you know word example 908 00:31:55,190 --> 00:31:53,760 if if covering over a site would be like 909 00:31:57,029 --> 00:31:55,200 a you know like a temporal arc kind of 910 00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:57,039 like the covering of the pot belly hill 911 00:32:01,110 --> 00:31:59,760 uh in turkey also known as gobekli tepe 912 00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:01,120 which for anybody who's listening that 913 00:32:09,669 --> 00:32:07,750 there are 914 00:32:12,149 --> 00:32:09,679 numerous perspectives on what was going 915 00:32:14,870 --> 00:32:12,159 on at go back to tepe and mine is by no 916 00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:14,880 means uh none of them are accepted 917 00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:17,039 mine's not by no means the most popular 918 00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:18,480 of the outlooks 919 00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:20,720 but um 920 00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:23,120 the covering of these sites from 921 00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:25,600 from my point of view um 922 00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:28,000 the information that was being conveyed 923 00:32:32,630 --> 00:32:30,640 in the cosmology was 924 00:32:34,549 --> 00:32:32,640 of the sort of thing that only a 925 00:32:35,190 --> 00:32:34,559 technological society would understand 926 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:35,200 it 927 00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:37,440 they're talking about 928 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:38,559 fundamental 929 00:32:42,789 --> 00:32:40,320 structures of matter 930 00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:42,799 they include pictures of electron orbits 931 00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:45,840 and things like that only a very highly 932 00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:47,679 technologically capable society would be 933 00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:49,760 able to recognize what they were talking 934 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:51,200 about and know that it was meaningful 935 00:32:53,110 --> 00:32:52,080 stuff 936 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,120 and so 937 00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:55,440 from the perspective of of 938 00:32:59,509 --> 00:32:58,080 bc which is when um go back to tepe 939 00:33:01,190 --> 00:32:59,519 happened 940 00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:01,200 you can argue that their target our 941 00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:02,880 audience was way out in the distance it 942 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:04,640 was essentially us 943 00:33:07,830 --> 00:33:06,159 and if we know that that's the target 944 00:33:10,310 --> 00:33:07,840 audience then it makes sense that they 945 00:33:12,310 --> 00:33:10,320 might want to cover over a site for our 946 00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:12,320 benefit knowing that by covering it they 947 00:33:15,190 --> 00:33:14,480 preserve it 948 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:15,200 and 949 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:16,880 what one of the token outlooks is that 950 00:33:20,549 --> 00:33:18,960 that was deliberately done that they 951 00:33:22,149 --> 00:33:20,559 deliberately covered things to preserve 952 00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:22,159 them 953 00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:23,600 but i also can see that one of the 954 00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:28,080 motives was this ritual motive um it 955 00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:29,919 associates the site with that whole 956 00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:32,480 process of reading a torah scroll 957 00:33:35,830 --> 00:33:34,080 and you know that's kind of fascinating 958 00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:35,840 that even something from that far back 959 00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:38,080 was carried forward you know throughout 960 00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:41,039 time like we're talking you know the 961 00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:43,600 late antiquity within 962 00:33:50,310 --> 00:33:46,480 you know 1400 bc or later 30 or up to 963 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:50,320 3200 bc even to now in 2018d so 964 00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:52,399 you know if if we're talking about the 965 00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:54,080 longest continuously 966 00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:55,760 worshipped religion and again some 967 00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:57,519 theorists may may claim differently or 968 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:58,799 they'll bring up some obscure one but 969 00:34:02,310 --> 00:34:00,480 mainstream religion 970 00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:02,320 whereas the the same traditions and and 971 00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:03,919 symbolism have been carried forward for 972 00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:05,679 that for that 973 00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:08,320 length of time unbroken is phenomenal 974 00:34:13,829 --> 00:34:09,359 especially 975 00:34:19,589 --> 00:34:17,669 right and the trick is 976 00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:19,599 trying to find the cultures where the 977 00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:21,359 least amount of telephone games sort of 978 00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:23,679 was playing where things uh where 979 00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:25,520 things were preserved intact as opposed 980 00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:27,440 to things sort of slowly morphing over 981 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:29,280 time 982 00:34:32,869 --> 00:34:30,560 and the dogan happened to be one of 983 00:34:35,430 --> 00:34:32,879 those cultures and one of the ways they 984 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:35,440 they managed to accomplish that was by 985 00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,079 retaining it as an oral tradition their 986 00:34:42,869 --> 00:34:40,879 outlook is that if you write the act of 987 00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:42,879 writing something down 988 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:45,520 sort of absolves the person who knows it 989 00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:46,879 of the responsibility of really 990 00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:49,040 mastering it and understanding it 991 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:50,560 and so 992 00:34:53,589 --> 00:34:51,520 texts 993 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:53,599 are you know they deteriorate no matter 994 00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:55,119 what media you happen to put the 995 00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:57,200 information on to it's going you're 996 00:35:00,710 --> 00:34:59,119 going to have fragmentary texts you're 997 00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:00,720 going to have 998 00:35:03,750 --> 00:35:02,240 someone in another language trying to 999 00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:03,760 interpret things who doesn't understand 1000 00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:06,240 the original language perfectly um 1001 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:08,480 whereas when you have a person who can 1002 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,200 explain the concepts to you um they get 1003 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:13,440 transmitted correctly and so in my 1004 00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:15,119 experience the cultures that never 1005 00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:16,640 developed writing are the ones who did 1006 00:35:20,550 --> 00:35:19,359 the best job of keeping this stuff 1007 00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:20,560 correct 1008 00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:22,160 and being able to 1009 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:24,079 you know transcribe things into stone 1010 00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:26,160 for instance would definitely be 1011 00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:28,480 advantageous because you know the 1012 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:29,680 difference between something like 1013 00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:32,240 granite or something like limestone as 1014 00:35:37,349 --> 00:35:33,760 we've seen with the weathering of the 1015 00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:37,359 sphinx uh you know you can get 10 20 30 1016 00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:39,440 000 years out of out of a solid piece of 1017 00:35:42,310 --> 00:35:41,440 granite without too much weathering 1018 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,320 uh 1019 00:35:46,470 --> 00:35:44,720 whereas pretty much pretty much nothing 1020 00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:46,480 else is going to survive long periods of 1021 00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:49,920 time um i've heard statements that 5 000 1022 00:35:55,030 --> 00:35:51,920 years from now you wouldn't find any 1023 00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:55,040 remnant of a skyscraper on that end 1024 00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:56,880 well concrete especially the concrete we 1025 00:36:01,750 --> 00:35:59,119 produced today is nothing that even the 1026 00:36:03,670 --> 00:36:01,760 romans could do 1027 00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:03,680 right so if you if it can be set in 1028 00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:05,280 stone then it has a possibility of 1029 00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:06,560 surviving and that's pretty much all the 1030 00:36:10,950 --> 00:36:08,640 archaeologists have to work from as you 1031 00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:10,960 get back into some of these early eras 1032 00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:13,040 if it wasn't set in stone they they 1033 00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:14,960 can't be sure about it 1034 00:36:18,630 --> 00:36:16,960 now i know that there and i'm going to 1035 00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:18,640 go through my list of interesting 1036 00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:20,560 questions to try and delve into here 1037 00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:21,440 with you 1038 00:36:26,630 --> 00:36:24,160 i i know that you recently posted a tale 1039 00:36:29,829 --> 00:36:26,640 of the scandinavian scandinavian saga 1040 00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:29,839 related to orkney island and the pygmies 1041 00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:31,280 would you be able to go into a little 1042 00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:34,320 bit of detail about that 1043 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:35,520 yes and to get a little bit of 1044 00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:37,040 background you have to understand what 1045 00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:39,760 the dogans say happened the dogans say 1046 00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:42,400 that the reason they know all sorts of 1047 00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:44,640 odd scientific details that they 1048 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:46,240 it seems seems they shouldn't know 1049 00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:48,800 without having technology 1050 00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:51,920 is because in ancient times someone 1051 00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:54,000 deliberately taught these things to them 1052 00:36:58,310 --> 00:36:56,000 someone who already knew them 1053 00:37:00,310 --> 00:36:58,320 taught them to them 1054 00:37:01,589 --> 00:37:00,320 and 1055 00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:01,599 we have 1056 00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:05,200 comparisons between the symbolic system 1057 00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:06,960 of the buddhists that goes with the 1058 00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:09,200 buddhist stupa shrine 1059 00:37:13,109 --> 00:37:11,520 and the cosmology the symbolic system 1060 00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:13,119 that the dogan have 1061 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:15,280 and they're given in different languages 1062 00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:17,760 so we know that one didn't just adopt it 1063 00:37:21,349 --> 00:37:19,680 from wholesale from the other they were 1064 00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:21,359 both doc 1065 00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:22,560 we have ways of demonstrating that 1066 00:37:25,990 --> 00:37:24,800 they're both ancient traditions that go 1067 00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:26,000 back 1068 00:37:31,109 --> 00:37:28,880 at least thousands of years if not um 1069 00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:31,119 you know four or five thousand years 1070 00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:32,320 um 1071 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:34,160 the buddhists say 1072 00:37:39,109 --> 00:37:37,440 their teachers were non-human 1073 00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:39,119 the dogans say they were not only 1074 00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:41,839 non-human but that they were originally 1075 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:44,240 non-material in a complicated way the 1076 00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:46,400 dogan outlook is that 1077 00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:49,200 universes form in pairs one non-material 1078 00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:50,960 than one material 1079 00:37:56,870 --> 00:37:53,200 and that their teachers had originally 1080 00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:56,880 been non-material but found a way to act 1081 00:38:01,190 --> 00:37:59,040 within a material frame to to teach 1082 00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:01,200 these things to the to the ancestors of 1083 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:02,480 the domain 1084 00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:04,560 and the dogans say that their teachers 1085 00:38:08,790 --> 00:38:06,640 were concerned about 1086 00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:08,800 potential bad effects that could happen 1087 00:38:10,950 --> 00:38:09,599 to 1088 00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:10,960 humans 1089 00:38:16,310 --> 00:38:12,800 as a consequence of being in prolonged 1090 00:38:17,109 --> 00:38:16,320 contact with these non-material teachers 1091 00:38:23,750 --> 00:38:17,119 so 1092 00:38:25,589 --> 00:38:23,760 eight tribes people at a remote location 1093 00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:25,599 teach them all the things that they 1094 00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:27,839 wanted to teach and then send them back 1095 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:30,000 to teach everybody else in the tribe 1096 00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:31,440 now that's a dynamic that we see 1097 00:38:34,950 --> 00:38:33,359 repeated in cultures all over the world 1098 00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:34,960 in their mythologies 1099 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:37,119 there again and again and again there 1100 00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:38,880 are traditions of 1101 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,000 eight 1102 00:38:43,589 --> 00:38:42,720 ancestors who are sort of quasified over 1103 00:38:45,829 --> 00:38:43,599 time 1104 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:45,839 who bring civilizing skills into a 1105 00:38:49,510 --> 00:38:47,680 culture and teach them how to farm and 1106 00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:49,520 teach them how to 1107 00:38:53,109 --> 00:38:50,480 do 1108 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:53,119 metal work and stone work and and things 1109 00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:54,880 like that domesticate animals and so 1110 00:38:58,790 --> 00:38:55,760 forth 1111 00:39:01,910 --> 00:38:58,800 so on scarabray what we have is a 1112 00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:01,920 cluster of eight chambered houses 1113 00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:03,680 that 1114 00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:06,000 there's reason to think connect to this 1115 00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:09,040 dogan tradition and um one of the 1116 00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:11,440 reasons to think that 1117 00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:13,520 the starting point 1118 00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:15,280 well i won't go into the details of it 1119 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:16,960 right now but there are direct 1120 00:39:20,950 --> 00:39:18,320 architectural 1121 00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:20,960 connections between orkney island and 1122 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:24,640 scarabray and the dogen that link us 1123 00:39:29,270 --> 00:39:27,599 to the cosmology now the earliest sagas 1124 00:39:31,510 --> 00:39:29,280 in scandinavia 1125 00:39:33,670 --> 00:39:31,520 say that 1126 00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:33,680 the scandinavians found two groups 1127 00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:36,480 cohabiting on orkney island one was a 1128 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:38,000 group of pygmies 1129 00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:40,160 who were described as having very 1130 00:39:44,310 --> 00:39:41,760 strange habits 1131 00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:44,320 and the other was a set of average sized 1132 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:46,000 clerics who always wore white like the 1133 00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:48,160 dovindu and who were so different from 1134 00:39:54,829 --> 00:39:49,839 the scandinavians 1135 00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,589 so we have the possibility based on 1136 00:40:02,710 --> 00:39:59,280 those descriptions 1137 00:40:03,910 --> 00:40:02,720 that they accidentally encountered 1138 00:40:06,150 --> 00:40:03,920 the dogan 1139 00:40:09,270 --> 00:40:06,160 clerics 1140 00:40:11,430 --> 00:40:09,280 side by side with their their teachers 1141 00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:11,440 one of the supporting elements for that 1142 00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:14,880 idea is that an egyptian word for pygmy 1143 00:40:19,589 --> 00:40:17,200 is nema and in the egyptian hieroglyphic 1144 00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:19,599 language the vowel sounds like hebrew 1145 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:20,960 aren't written down so you don't know 1146 00:40:25,109 --> 00:40:23,040 for sure what the vowel sounds were so 1147 00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:25,119 the egyptian word nema might very well 1148 00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:26,800 be the same word as the token name for 1149 00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:29,200 their teachers which was pneumo 1150 00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:30,160 so 1151 00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:31,280 we have a number of these different 1152 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:34,160 connections that make it appear as if on 1153 00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:38,480 orkney island at 3200 bc 200 years or so 1154 00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:39,440 before 1155 00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:41,920 the appearance of dynastic egypt 1156 00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:43,920 you've got a group of teachers 1157 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:46,960 and a group of dogen-like clerics 1158 00:40:52,069 --> 00:40:49,920 located in us on in a location that 1159 00:40:54,230 --> 00:40:52,079 gives every appearance of having been 1160 00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:54,240 the equivalent of a college campus we've 1161 00:40:58,710 --> 00:40:55,599 got 1162 00:41:01,270 --> 00:40:58,720 megalithic structures there life-size 1163 00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:01,280 structures made out of stone 1164 00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:04,720 that recreate the sequence of shapes 1165 00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:07,440 that the dogens say is represent how 1166 00:41:11,750 --> 00:41:09,040 matter forms 1167 00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:11,760 and these sites were connected by a road 1168 00:41:17,670 --> 00:41:14,560 back in 30 200 bc so that a person could 1169 00:41:20,230 --> 00:41:17,680 walk along the road and pass through 1170 00:41:21,829 --> 00:41:20,240 sequentially these stages of creation it 1171 00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:21,839 looks it gives gives the appearance of 1172 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:24,160 being an educational site 1173 00:41:27,430 --> 00:41:25,839 so there are all these different 1174 00:41:28,950 --> 00:41:27,440 elements that come together to make it 1175 00:41:30,390 --> 00:41:28,960 sound like 1176 00:41:32,390 --> 00:41:30,400 this may have been the location the 1177 00:41:34,150 --> 00:41:32,400 dogan are talking about 1178 00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:34,160 go back to tapia on the other hand in 1179 00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:36,480 turkey which is a much earlier site 1180 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:38,079 gives the impression of being a site 1181 00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:39,920 that the buddhists talk about called 1182 00:41:44,470 --> 00:41:42,000 vulture peak where it's the first place 1183 00:41:46,829 --> 00:41:44,480 where a buddha is understood to have 1184 00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:46,839 passed knowledge to 1185 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:48,880 humanity one of the things i've done 1186 00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:50,240 this week through my through facebook 1187 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,160 posts is demonstrated 1188 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:54,000 um 1189 00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:57,200 dogan practices that 1190 00:42:00,390 --> 00:41:58,480 look for all the world as if they 1191 00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:00,400 connect to the go back to the teppy 1192 00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:02,640 practices the dogan make carvings that 1193 00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:04,880 that are stylistically almost um 1194 00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:07,040 indistinguishable from the cobeco tepe 1195 00:42:11,589 --> 00:42:09,680 uh pillar carvings 1196 00:42:14,069 --> 00:42:11,599 uh i i know that there was the the 1197 00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:14,079 recently released uh paper 1198 00:42:20,870 --> 00:42:17,680 on the cosmology of quebec tepe uh i i 1199 00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:20,880 did a a master class uh as as we do one 1200 00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:22,800 once a month for for our 1201 00:42:26,790 --> 00:42:24,880 master denizens who who support the 1202 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,800 program you know give basically present 1203 00:42:30,790 --> 00:42:28,800 papers bring experts on just to give a 1204 00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:30,800 presentation so 1205 00:42:34,870 --> 00:42:32,560 uh we're originally going to have jim 1206 00:42:35,670 --> 00:42:34,880 canada on last month and unfortunately 1207 00:42:38,470 --> 00:42:35,680 he 1208 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:38,480 uh could not make it due to a uh 1209 00:42:43,349 --> 00:42:40,880 personal matter schedule didn't work out 1210 00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:43,359 and so he sent me the the entire paper 1211 00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:45,760 for quebec litepe and reading through it 1212 00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:46,640 was 1213 00:42:51,030 --> 00:42:49,680 a fantastic at least as far as 1214 00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:51,040 a 1215 00:42:55,190 --> 00:42:53,280 different perspective 1216 00:42:56,630 --> 00:42:55,200 now i i know the 1217 00:42:58,870 --> 00:42:56,640 at least your position on it because 1218 00:43:00,550 --> 00:42:58,880 i've read your your uh 1219 00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:00,560 your comments based on facebook and i 1220 00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:02,319 can understand where you're coming from 1221 00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:04,960 um but what do you think about the the 1222 00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:07,440 possibility of 1223 00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:09,680 the carvings representing 1224 00:43:13,990 --> 00:43:12,880 different constellations 1225 00:43:15,670 --> 00:43:14,000 i think 1226 00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:15,680 in the mindset of all these ancient 1227 00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:18,000 cultures it makes perfect sense that 1228 00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:19,520 animals would be used to represent 1229 00:43:23,430 --> 00:43:21,760 constellations and we see that passed 1230 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:23,440 down in a number of different forms and 1231 00:43:27,510 --> 00:43:25,520 people are familiar with the zodiacs of 1232 00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:27,520 different cultures 1233 00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:28,960 there's every reason to think that 1234 00:43:32,470 --> 00:43:30,720 astronomy was one of the skills that was 1235 00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:32,480 being constructed 1236 00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:34,160 so that also makes sense that there 1237 00:43:38,870 --> 00:43:36,400 would be alignments to stars and that 1238 00:43:43,910 --> 00:43:38,880 they might be trying to represent 1239 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:49,030 i so i'm i'm on board with that idea 1240 00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:52,150 i have a couple of caveats a couple of 1241 00:43:56,630 --> 00:43:53,440 of 1242 00:43:58,230 --> 00:43:56,640 reasons to think that um 1243 00:44:00,550 --> 00:43:58,240 we have to be cautious about some of 1244 00:44:02,069 --> 00:44:00,560 this the study that you're talking about 1245 00:44:04,230 --> 00:44:02,079 um 1246 00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:04,240 made it sound as if they all but 1247 00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:06,720 outright said that they had confirmed 1248 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:08,880 the alignments 1249 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:10,880 of the stars 1250 00:44:15,430 --> 00:44:13,839 to those pictures in that era 1251 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:15,440 in other words they could look at these 1252 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:17,040 pillars with the pictures of the animals 1253 00:44:19,589 --> 00:44:18,000 on them 1254 00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:19,599 and confirm 1255 00:44:23,829 --> 00:44:21,599 that that's the way the stars would have 1256 00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:23,839 looked behind the pillars during that 1257 00:44:27,589 --> 00:44:25,440 era 1258 00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:27,599 i know based on other work i've done 1259 00:44:32,069 --> 00:44:29,359 other research for another book that's 1260 00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:32,079 really not directly related to cosmology 1261 00:44:39,030 --> 00:44:36,870 there are the astronomers have some 1262 00:44:40,870 --> 00:44:39,040 difficulties um 1263 00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:40,880 interpreting things across the boundary 1264 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:44,880 of of the middle of around 709 bc is 1265 00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:46,800 where the problem comes and it's not 1266 00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:48,720 just the the astronomers who have the 1267 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:49,760 problem 1268 00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:51,440 the difficulty is this 1269 00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:52,960 that 1270 00:44:59,990 --> 00:44:58,000 happened since 709 bc 1271 00:45:01,270 --> 00:45:00,000 they can use their software programs to 1272 00:45:03,829 --> 00:45:01,280 confirm 1273 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:03,839 where it could be viewed and on what 1274 00:45:09,510 --> 00:45:06,480 data can be viewed 1275 00:45:12,550 --> 00:45:09,520 not a single report of a total eclipse 1276 00:45:14,069 --> 00:45:12,560 of the sun that occurred prior to 709 bc 1277 00:45:16,150 --> 00:45:14,079 in any culture has been able to be 1278 00:45:19,589 --> 00:45:16,160 confirmed that way 1279 00:45:21,670 --> 00:45:19,599 now the eclipse eclipses depend on the 1280 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:21,680 relative motions of the sun the moon and 1281 00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:24,240 the the earth 1282 00:45:28,870 --> 00:45:26,800 and those motions are 1283 00:45:30,790 --> 00:45:28,880 represented as being clockwise 1284 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:30,800 clock-like in that they they it would 1285 00:45:35,750 --> 00:45:33,280 take an awful lot to change them 1286 00:45:37,510 --> 00:45:35,760 so we would think that 1287 00:45:39,030 --> 00:45:37,520 all we should have to do is use 1288 00:45:41,030 --> 00:45:39,040 mathematics to be able to trace these 1289 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:41,040 back and verify yes there certainly 1290 00:45:44,309 --> 00:45:42,319 wasn't a cross here on the stage just 1291 00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:44,319 like scott reported 1292 00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:45,920 now the astronomers take the point of 1293 00:45:50,150 --> 00:45:48,160 view of well it might have been cloudy 1294 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:50,160 that day and maybe he got it wrong maybe 1295 00:45:55,430 --> 00:45:52,560 he was off a day or maybe the guy wasn't 1296 00:45:56,870 --> 00:45:55,440 really a reliable guy or maybe he 1297 00:45:59,270 --> 00:45:56,880 mistook something that looked sort of 1298 00:46:01,670 --> 00:45:59,280 like an eclipse for an eclipse to have 1299 00:46:03,829 --> 00:46:01,680 this whole host of different rationales 1300 00:46:05,910 --> 00:46:03,839 for why they don't have to believe the 1301 00:46:07,990 --> 00:46:05,920 report of the guy who said there was an 1302 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:08,000 eclipse there but meanwhile the 1303 00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:09,760 historians are saying 1304 00:46:13,510 --> 00:46:11,440 that these guys are so reliable that 1305 00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:13,520 they base the historians that base their 1306 00:46:18,309 --> 00:46:15,839 official timelines of history on on 1307 00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:18,319 those eclipses being correct 1308 00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:19,119 so 1309 00:46:22,069 --> 00:46:20,640 the guy who's doing the reporting has 1310 00:46:24,230 --> 00:46:22,079 credibility for the historians but 1311 00:46:27,430 --> 00:46:24,240 somehow doesn't have credibility for the 1312 00:46:31,990 --> 00:46:29,109 the problem another problem is that at 1313 00:46:34,550 --> 00:46:32,000 709 bc you have all sorts of other 1314 00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:34,560 odd unexplained things happening you 1315 00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:37,359 have a major fluctuation of the magnetic 1316 00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:39,760 field of the earth that they can detect 1317 00:46:43,030 --> 00:46:40,800 from 1318 00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:43,040 residual magnetism in rocks 1319 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:44,480 that happened they don't know why it 1320 00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:46,000 happened but it would take something big 1321 00:46:50,950 --> 00:46:48,400 to fluctuate it that much 1322 00:46:53,670 --> 00:46:50,960 there is a change in the rate at which 1323 00:46:56,950 --> 00:46:53,680 plants absorb ions 1324 00:46:58,150 --> 00:46:56,960 then these this ion absorption rate is 1325 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:58,160 critical to 1326 00:47:02,150 --> 00:47:00,319 radiometric dating techniques 1327 00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:02,160 and so all the radiometric dating 1328 00:47:07,190 --> 00:47:05,280 techniques fail across the same 709 bc 1329 00:47:09,109 --> 00:47:07,200 boundary nobody's explained or even 1330 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:09,119 proposed a theory as to why could that 1331 00:47:13,670 --> 00:47:12,240 be there was major climate change at 1332 00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:13,680 that moment 1333 00:47:16,390 --> 00:47:14,880 such that 1334 00:47:18,069 --> 00:47:16,400 crops that had been grown for thousands 1335 00:47:20,309 --> 00:47:18,079 of years in china suddenly couldn't be 1336 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:20,319 grown there anymore 1337 00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:22,000 and immediately following that period 1338 00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:24,720 you have cultures all over the world 1339 00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:27,040 deciding apparently independently of 1340 00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:28,640 each other because we don't know of any 1341 00:47:31,430 --> 00:47:29,440 um 1342 00:47:32,710 --> 00:47:31,440 influence that that would cross the 1343 00:47:34,069 --> 00:47:32,720 boundaries of all these widespread 1344 00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:34,079 cultures 1345 00:47:38,430 --> 00:47:35,839 they all decide independently of each 1346 00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:38,440 other to change their calendars from a 1347 00:47:45,109 --> 00:47:43,440 360-day year to a 365-day year 1348 00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:45,119 that looks an awful lot to me like they 1349 00:47:48,630 --> 00:47:46,880 were responding to an actual change in 1350 00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:48,640 the length of the year 1351 00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:51,359 and what's like 1352 00:47:55,910 --> 00:47:53,760 sorry go go ahead laird 1353 00:47:59,270 --> 00:47:55,920 okay the other thing the other 1354 00:48:01,349 --> 00:47:59,280 situations that i'm talking about um 1355 00:48:03,510 --> 00:48:01,359 imply that something an event happened 1356 00:48:05,829 --> 00:48:03,520 that was large enough and influential 1357 00:48:07,510 --> 00:48:05,839 enough that might theoretically have 1358 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:07,520 extended the length of the year by five 1359 00:48:12,550 --> 00:48:10,160 days all it would take would be a slight 1360 00:48:14,790 --> 00:48:12,560 change in the um trajectory of the earth 1361 00:48:16,390 --> 00:48:14,800 around the sun or 1362 00:48:18,790 --> 00:48:16,400 something that a 1363 00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:18,800 passage of an astronomical body that 1364 00:48:22,790 --> 00:48:20,800 drew the earth out just a little bit in 1365 00:48:25,510 --> 00:48:22,800 its orbit from the sun or slowed it down 1366 00:48:28,309 --> 00:48:25,520 just enough to increase the year length 1367 00:48:30,390 --> 00:48:28,319 by five days 1368 00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:30,400 now i'm trying to look even while you're 1369 00:48:33,589 --> 00:48:31,839 talking i'm trying to find information 1370 00:48:35,349 --> 00:48:33,599 on that time period wikipedia has 1371 00:48:36,790 --> 00:48:35,359 nothing of note really like they've got 1372 00:48:37,990 --> 00:48:36,800 basic history but they don't they're not 1373 00:48:40,790 --> 00:48:38,000 listing any 1374 00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:40,800 type of natural disasters apparently uh 1375 00:48:44,230 --> 00:48:42,800 there's one site that i found that has 1376 00:48:46,470 --> 00:48:44,240 information you know as far as 1377 00:48:48,230 --> 00:48:46,480 possibilities that happen in that area 1378 00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:48,240 but they're not like it's it's one of 1379 00:48:52,309 --> 00:48:50,480 the it's a website that i can't verify 1380 00:48:53,750 --> 00:48:52,319 the validity of so i can't even bring it 1381 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:53,760 up as a possibility because i'm just not 1382 00:48:55,589 --> 00:48:54,720 sure 1383 00:48:58,390 --> 00:48:55,599 um 1384 00:49:00,829 --> 00:48:58,400 well that velikovsky who is the crackpot 1385 00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:00,839 crackpot according to the scientist 1386 00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:03,760 has viewpoints on what happened the 1387 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:06,800 upshot for go back to tepe is 1388 00:49:09,829 --> 00:49:07,920 that 1389 00:49:12,390 --> 00:49:09,839 any study 1390 00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:12,400 that seems to indicate that they verify 1391 00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:15,359 these alignments to a date 1392 00:49:18,870 --> 00:49:16,800 is talking to its hat as far as i'm 1393 00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:18,880 concerned because i know if they can't 1394 00:49:23,510 --> 00:49:21,280 hit those eclipse states and locations 1395 00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:23,520 they have no clue where the stars were 1396 00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:27,520 in relation to us prior to 709 bc and so 1397 00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:29,280 a study becomes immediately suspect to 1398 00:49:33,430 --> 00:49:31,440 me when they say they can do that 1399 00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:33,440 and they said i went through the study 1400 00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:36,160 and they didn't actually overtly say it 1401 00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:37,760 but they did say that the alignments 1402 00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:39,760 have been confirmed to that era and 1403 00:49:42,829 --> 00:49:41,040 there there's really no other way to 1404 00:49:45,910 --> 00:49:42,839 confirm them except 1405 00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:45,920 to computer calculations 1406 00:49:54,390 --> 00:49:51,030 sorry because that's the first 1407 00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:54,400 that's the first problem i have with um 1408 00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:55,680 with the study 1409 00:49:58,390 --> 00:49:56,960 um 1410 00:49:59,910 --> 00:49:58,400 the other thing is 1411 00:50:05,270 --> 00:49:59,920 that 1412 00:50:08,309 --> 00:50:05,280 to tape the motive the underlying motive 1413 00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:08,319 for doing these carvings on the pillars 1414 00:50:15,430 --> 00:50:12,160 was to record a comet strike the this is 1415 00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:15,440 uh an event that researchers um 1416 00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:17,760 like randall carlson and graham hancock 1417 00:50:21,349 --> 00:50:19,599 have been exploring and there's lots of 1418 00:50:22,790 --> 00:50:21,359 evidence to think that the comet strike 1419 00:50:25,190 --> 00:50:22,800 didn't happen 1420 00:50:28,309 --> 00:50:25,200 but at gobekli tepe you don't have to 1421 00:50:29,990 --> 00:50:28,319 have one circle of stone pillars you've 1422 00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:30,000 got 1423 00:50:33,510 --> 00:50:30,800 uh 1424 00:50:34,309 --> 00:50:33,520 a series a number of like tens of or 1425 00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:34,319 maybe 1426 00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:35,520 20 of 1427 00:50:39,829 --> 00:50:37,920 these stone circles built 1428 00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:39,839 over the course of a period of time to 1429 00:50:43,829 --> 00:50:41,440 many of which are still buried and not 1430 00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:43,839 excavated and so i say 1431 00:50:47,829 --> 00:50:45,920 okay if the primary motive here was to 1432 00:50:49,270 --> 00:50:47,839 record the comet strike 1433 00:50:51,109 --> 00:50:49,280 then what was the purpose of all those 1434 00:50:52,230 --> 00:50:51,119 other stone circles 1435 00:50:55,109 --> 00:50:52,240 are you telling me that we had 1436 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:55,119 calamities worth recording on stone um 1437 00:50:59,349 --> 00:50:57,680 10 times that era 1438 00:51:01,109 --> 00:50:59,359 or was something else going on with the 1439 00:51:03,750 --> 00:51:01,119 site that can't possibly be the 1440 00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:03,760 overriding purpose of the site if it 1441 00:51:08,069 --> 00:51:05,920 only explains one of the circles 1442 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:08,079 if i'm not mistaken there is also a 1443 00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:11,040 another a hill that apparently 1444 00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:13,040 that's nearby i think it's about 20 or 1445 00:51:18,470 --> 00:51:15,760 30 kilometers away that has similar 1446 00:51:20,309 --> 00:51:18,480 structures buried beneath it uh and i'm 1447 00:51:22,950 --> 00:51:20,319 trying to find the name i know and even 1448 00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:22,960 though i i have uh graham's 1449 00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:24,480 unmistakable voice in the back of my 1450 00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:26,160 head saying it i just can't actually 1451 00:51:29,109 --> 00:51:27,680 find i can't remember the name of it for 1452 00:51:31,670 --> 00:51:29,119 the life of me 1453 00:51:33,750 --> 00:51:31,680 so yeah that's the main 1454 00:51:36,069 --> 00:51:33,760 argument is if it's supposed to be able 1455 00:51:37,829 --> 00:51:36,079 to record this event then why are there 1456 00:51:40,549 --> 00:51:37,839 so many uh 1457 00:51:42,710 --> 00:51:40,559 where another easter egg 1458 00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:42,720 another perspective on that is what are 1459 00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:44,400 we saying happened here are we saying 1460 00:51:49,910 --> 00:51:47,200 that some brave little stone carver was 1461 00:51:51,510 --> 00:51:49,920 out there as the comets were falling 1462 00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:51,520 tapping the stuff into stone to get the 1463 00:51:54,230 --> 00:51:52,960 alignments right 1464 00:51:55,510 --> 00:51:54,240 or 1465 00:51:57,030 --> 00:51:55,520 are we saying that he just held it in 1466 00:51:59,030 --> 00:51:57,040 memory and then after everything was 1467 00:52:01,030 --> 00:51:59,040 over he came back out then he tapped it 1468 00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:01,040 into the stone to make everything look 1469 00:52:05,349 --> 00:52:02,720 the way that he remembered looking in 1470 00:52:07,670 --> 00:52:05,359 the sky 1471 00:52:09,589 --> 00:52:07,680 there's 1472 00:52:11,430 --> 00:52:09,599 it it's not a compelling argument to me 1473 00:52:13,750 --> 00:52:11,440 that that's why these these carvings 1474 00:52:15,190 --> 00:52:13,760 were made and part of the reason is not 1475 00:52:17,109 --> 00:52:15,200 is because 1476 00:52:19,589 --> 00:52:17,119 the entire set of elements that we see 1477 00:52:21,589 --> 00:52:19,599 at go back to tape is a coherent 1478 00:52:22,950 --> 00:52:21,599 grouping this is a grouping that 1479 00:52:23,910 --> 00:52:22,960 survived 1480 00:52:25,670 --> 00:52:23,920 as you 1481 00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:25,680 move forward historically from the 1482 00:52:30,069 --> 00:52:28,240 europe to go back to tepe pretty much 1483 00:52:31,990 --> 00:52:30,079 every symbolic element that we see there 1484 00:52:35,109 --> 00:52:32,000 was preserved with a group called the 1485 00:52:37,430 --> 00:52:35,119 shakti cult in india this is a 1486 00:52:38,470 --> 00:52:37,440 matriarchal cult 1487 00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:38,480 that was 1488 00:52:42,069 --> 00:52:40,480 ancestral to the vedic 1489 00:52:43,670 --> 00:52:42,079 the buddhists and the hindu traditions 1490 00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:43,680 it actually it actually still survives 1491 00:52:48,549 --> 00:52:45,280 in india 1492 00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:48,559 today the shakti called 1493 00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:50,319 and so 1494 00:52:54,950 --> 00:52:52,880 we can see that this um 1495 00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:54,960 based on the 1496 00:52:58,870 --> 00:52:56,800 way that these other cultures interpret 1497 00:53:01,030 --> 00:52:58,880 these symbols that they all put place 1498 00:53:03,030 --> 00:53:01,040 cosmological meaning on the symbol they 1499 00:53:04,549 --> 00:53:03,040 see um 1500 00:53:07,589 --> 00:53:04,559 you know 1501 00:53:09,430 --> 00:53:07,599 a carved bull has great cosmological 1502 00:53:11,990 --> 00:53:09,440 importance in india 1503 00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:12,000 each of these symbolic elements does 1504 00:53:16,870 --> 00:53:14,640 even the the name go back to tepe 1505 00:53:18,790 --> 00:53:16,880 one of the traditional translations that 1506 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:18,800 is given in turkey for the name of the 1507 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:20,000 hill 1508 00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:23,920 well nobody i knew when i was first 1509 00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:25,200 researching the staff knew what pot 1510 00:53:29,430 --> 00:53:26,720 belly hill meant 1511 00:53:31,349 --> 00:53:29,440 by a pot belly for the shakti cult is a 1512 00:53:33,030 --> 00:53:31,359 clay pot that holds filled with water 1513 00:53:35,190 --> 00:53:33,040 that represents a wound this is one of 1514 00:53:37,990 --> 00:53:35,200 their iconic elements 1515 00:53:40,309 --> 00:53:38,000 and so and it also has cosmology it 1516 00:53:41,910 --> 00:53:40,319 represents it has meaning 1517 00:53:43,510 --> 00:53:41,920 symbolically in terms of the cosmology 1518 00:53:46,069 --> 00:53:43,520 of all these cultures 1519 00:53:48,390 --> 00:53:46,079 um the animal niches themselves were 1520 00:53:50,069 --> 00:53:48,400 carved on the pillars 1521 00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:50,079 if you go to an egyptian hieroglyphic 1522 00:53:53,349 --> 00:53:52,240 dictionary well let's rewind just a 1523 00:53:55,589 --> 00:53:53,359 little bit 1524 00:53:58,950 --> 00:53:55,599 go back to tepe as a name if you take 1525 00:54:00,549 --> 00:53:58,960 the word tepe in the turkish language 1526 00:54:02,790 --> 00:54:00,559 look it up in a dictionary you'll find 1527 00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:02,800 about 25 different meanings associated 1528 00:54:07,990 --> 00:54:05,280 with the word tepe if you then go to an 1529 00:54:10,230 --> 00:54:08,000 ancient egyptian dictionary you'll find 1530 00:54:12,710 --> 00:54:10,240 a dozen of those 25 meanings also 1531 00:54:14,230 --> 00:54:12,720 associated with words pronounced like 1532 00:54:15,829 --> 00:54:14,240 tepe 1533 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:15,839 so this is a cluster of meanings that 1534 00:54:18,950 --> 00:54:18,240 goes together you can infer from this 1535 00:54:20,230 --> 00:54:18,960 that 1536 00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:20,240 when 1537 00:54:23,349 --> 00:54:21,520 the ancient people in turkey were 1538 00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:23,359 talking about the word tepe they 1539 00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:25,280 understood it in very similar ways to 1540 00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:27,200 the way the ancient egyptians understood 1541 00:54:31,750 --> 00:54:30,480 it so knowing that i looked up the names 1542 00:54:33,589 --> 00:54:31,760 of the all these animals that are 1543 00:54:35,030 --> 00:54:33,599 pictured on the pillows i go back to 1544 00:54:37,589 --> 00:54:35,040 pepe and the egyptian highlander 1545 00:54:38,870 --> 00:54:37,599 dictionary and i discovered that there 1546 00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:38,880 the names of the animals are all 1547 00:54:43,270 --> 00:54:42,240 pronounced like um cosmological terms 1548 00:54:45,750 --> 00:54:43,280 important 1549 00:54:48,230 --> 00:54:45,760 words from the cosmology and that says 1550 00:54:50,549 --> 00:54:48,240 to me that these were cosmological 1551 00:54:52,309 --> 00:54:50,559 symbols that uh a hunter-gatherer could 1552 00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:52,319 walk up and see a picture of a scorpion 1553 00:54:57,349 --> 00:54:54,960 or a picture of a vulture 1554 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:57,359 say the name of the animal which he knew 1555 00:55:00,950 --> 00:54:59,040 and at the same time be speaking the 1556 00:55:03,670 --> 00:55:00,960 term of cosmology that he was about to 1557 00:55:06,309 --> 00:55:03,680 be instructed in standing there now i'm 1558 00:55:09,270 --> 00:55:06,319 looking in for anybody who's uh watching 1559 00:55:11,910 --> 00:55:09,280 on youtube uh for the live stream i i've 1560 00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:11,920 just brought up an image of pillar 47 1561 00:55:16,870 --> 00:55:14,160 pillar 27 from enclosure c at quebec 1562 00:55:19,030 --> 00:55:16,880 tepe and i know that the animal carvings 1563 00:55:22,390 --> 00:55:19,040 that we usually see are ones of the fox 1564 00:55:24,230 --> 00:55:22,400 um this this one and but because all of 1565 00:55:25,829 --> 00:55:24,240 the pillars were done in relief which if 1566 00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:25,839 anybody who's listening is actually a 1567 00:55:30,069 --> 00:55:28,400 harder way to carve something out of 1568 00:55:31,910 --> 00:55:30,079 rock because you're not carving into it 1569 00:55:34,549 --> 00:55:31,920 you're basically removing all the stone 1570 00:55:36,549 --> 00:55:34,559 around it away for that image or figure 1571 00:55:38,630 --> 00:55:36,559 to appear 1572 00:55:41,349 --> 00:55:38,640 and for something that you know 12 000 1573 00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:41,359 years old that that's an 1574 00:55:44,950 --> 00:55:43,200 amazing achievement 1575 00:55:46,549 --> 00:55:44,960 this particular um 1576 00:55:48,470 --> 00:55:46,559 you know animal that's on there it looks 1577 00:55:49,270 --> 00:55:48,480 to be some type of predator it could be 1578 00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:49,280 a 1579 00:55:58,950 --> 00:55:57,440 it so 1580 00:56:01,670 --> 00:55:58,960 what you're saying is that you know 1581 00:56:03,190 --> 00:56:01,680 these the meanings would be conveyed 1582 00:56:04,870 --> 00:56:03,200 and then the individuals would be able 1583 00:56:06,549 --> 00:56:04,880 to recite it as they're being led around 1584 00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:06,559 by their teacher which 1585 00:56:10,950 --> 00:56:09,440 you know if you're going to be teaching 1586 00:56:13,190 --> 00:56:10,960 you know it's essentially and i'm going 1587 00:56:14,950 --> 00:56:13,200 to use the term children uh because at 1588 00:56:16,789 --> 00:56:14,960 that time you know our species may have 1589 00:56:18,950 --> 00:56:16,799 been essentially at the the knowledge of 1590 00:56:20,710 --> 00:56:18,960 a child as far as the world around it on 1591 00:56:22,390 --> 00:56:20,720 a grander sense 1592 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:22,400 you know you you show them a picture of 1593 00:56:25,589 --> 00:56:24,000 a cat you have the word cat underneath 1594 00:56:27,829 --> 00:56:25,599 it and then you talk to the the child 1595 00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:27,839 about what that it's proto-language it's 1596 00:56:32,470 --> 00:56:30,480 a way of introducing someone to language 1597 00:56:34,789 --> 00:56:32,480 but so my overall outlook about quebec 1598 00:56:37,510 --> 00:56:34,799 tepe is we have a coherent set of 1599 00:56:39,349 --> 00:56:37,520 symbols here that we know perfectly well 1600 00:56:40,789 --> 00:56:39,359 are cosmological in every culture that 1601 00:56:43,030 --> 00:56:40,799 followed of course they were 1602 00:56:46,309 --> 00:56:43,040 cosmological or cobalt 1603 00:56:47,589 --> 00:56:46,319 and part of that cosmological system 1604 00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:47,599 is 1605 00:56:53,030 --> 00:56:52,240 has to do with constellations 1606 00:56:55,750 --> 00:56:53,040 but 1607 00:56:57,270 --> 00:56:55,760 it's clear to me that 1608 00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:57,280 there's another dimension to these 1609 00:57:01,589 --> 00:56:59,359 carvings besides representing just 1610 00:57:02,630 --> 00:57:01,599 constellations 1611 00:57:05,829 --> 00:57:02,640 and 1612 00:57:07,670 --> 00:57:05,839 so what what primarily would you 1613 00:57:09,750 --> 00:57:07,680 i should say what have your 1614 00:57:12,390 --> 00:57:09,760 uh researchers found i know one of the 1615 00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:12,400 big things is the fox so 1616 00:57:18,789 --> 00:57:14,640 i know that the dogon has certain 1617 00:57:22,470 --> 00:57:20,710 to give you an example about how how 1618 00:57:25,589 --> 00:57:22,480 animal symbolism plays out in this 1619 00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:25,599 cosmology it's usually some saline 1620 00:57:30,150 --> 00:57:28,160 feature of the animal that is being 1621 00:57:31,829 --> 00:57:30,160 symbolized 1622 00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:31,839 for example 1623 00:57:37,030 --> 00:57:34,160 a rabbit which tends to twitch 1624 00:57:39,349 --> 00:57:37,040 represents the concept of vibration 1625 00:57:43,030 --> 00:57:39,359 you find it in words whose meanings 1626 00:57:45,190 --> 00:57:43,040 have to do with vibration 1627 00:57:46,470 --> 00:57:45,200 the dogan 1628 00:57:48,630 --> 00:57:46,480 one of the advantages of working with 1629 00:57:50,870 --> 00:57:48,640 the dogan is they they they know 1630 00:57:53,109 --> 00:57:50,880 explicitly what the symbolism of their 1631 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:53,119 various symbols are they'll flatly say 1632 00:57:57,589 --> 00:57:54,720 this represents that 1633 00:57:59,190 --> 00:57:57,599 and then one of my processes is then to 1634 00:58:01,349 --> 00:57:59,200 go to other cultures that have the same 1635 00:58:03,349 --> 00:58:01,359 symbol and see how they understood the 1636 00:58:04,710 --> 00:58:03,359 same symbol to verify that the dogs are 1637 00:58:06,069 --> 00:58:04,720 telling me the truth 1638 00:58:08,630 --> 00:58:06,079 um so 1639 00:58:10,630 --> 00:58:08,640 if the dogoner representing that a 1640 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:10,640 rabbit or a hair represents the concept 1641 00:58:13,910 --> 00:58:12,559 of vibration and i go to an egyptian 1642 00:58:15,430 --> 00:58:13,920 hieroglyphic dictionary and i find 1643 00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:15,440 pictures of a rabbit or hair and words 1644 00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:18,240 that represent uh quaking or shivering 1645 00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:19,680 or things that are connected to 1646 00:58:23,589 --> 00:58:20,960 vibration 1647 00:58:26,309 --> 00:58:23,599 then um i have confirmation that they're 1648 00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:26,319 going to have told me the truth 1649 00:58:30,630 --> 00:58:28,799 now it gets easier than that because the 1650 00:58:32,230 --> 00:58:30,640 way the egyptian hieroglyphic language 1651 00:58:34,630 --> 00:58:32,240 ends up working 1652 00:58:35,510 --> 00:58:34,640 is that every word the symbols of every 1653 00:58:37,750 --> 00:58:35,520 word 1654 00:58:38,950 --> 00:58:37,760 actually end up defining its own meaning 1655 00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:38,960 and that if you know how to read the 1656 00:58:43,030 --> 00:58:41,280 symbols the right way the word itself 1657 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:43,040 tells you its own meaning 1658 00:58:47,030 --> 00:58:45,599 and some some of those words include a 1659 00:58:48,470 --> 00:58:47,040 trailing glyph 1660 00:58:51,349 --> 00:58:48,480 that's defined 1661 00:58:53,430 --> 00:58:51,359 by the preceding symbolic sentence and 1662 00:58:56,870 --> 00:58:53,440 so if you look at those kinds of words 1663 00:58:59,190 --> 00:58:56,880 those defining words you can lay out 1664 00:59:01,349 --> 00:58:59,200 definitions for hundreds of egyptian 1665 00:59:03,190 --> 00:59:01,359 glyphs based on what their words are 1666 00:59:05,670 --> 00:59:03,200 telling us their glyph meant 1667 00:59:07,270 --> 00:59:05,680 it starts become very specific and very 1668 00:59:08,549 --> 00:59:07,280 verifiable 1669 00:59:09,910 --> 00:59:08,559 and the more cultures you have to 1670 00:59:11,990 --> 00:59:09,920 compare against 1671 00:59:14,069 --> 00:59:12,000 the more you can triangulate in on what 1672 00:59:15,910 --> 00:59:14,079 this symbol must have been 1673 00:59:18,390 --> 00:59:15,920 and so 1674 00:59:20,309 --> 00:59:18,400 sorry go ahead i know with the with the 1675 00:59:22,309 --> 00:59:20,319 phone over skype it i do have a second 1676 00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:22,319 or two delay so i do apologize if i seem 1677 00:59:25,910 --> 00:59:24,240 to be cutting in 1678 00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:25,920 no i do the same thing so go so go ahead 1679 00:59:29,829 --> 00:59:27,760 and ask your question if you like i i 1680 00:59:32,230 --> 00:59:29,839 was going to say if you know we if 1681 00:59:34,710 --> 00:59:32,240 they're using um symbology and metaphor 1682 00:59:36,549 --> 00:59:34,720 to be able to convey complex 1683 00:59:39,030 --> 00:59:36,559 you know complex meanings 1684 00:59:40,630 --> 00:59:39,040 why why would this be 1685 00:59:43,030 --> 00:59:40,640 the preferable 1686 00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:43,040 mode of communication for the more 1687 00:59:48,870 --> 00:59:46,720 ancient civilizations as compared to our 1688 00:59:52,150 --> 00:59:48,880 more written literal form of 1689 00:59:54,950 --> 00:59:53,510 uh because 1690 00:59:58,470 --> 00:59:54,960 in english 1691 01:00:01,190 --> 00:59:58,480 all i can represent are phonetics 1692 01:00:02,870 --> 01:00:01,200 that when i see the word weak 1693 01:00:05,510 --> 01:00:02,880 in english 1694 01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:05,520 i've learned how to pronounce letters 1695 01:00:10,150 --> 01:00:07,680 and i've i've memorized that the sound 1696 01:00:12,230 --> 01:00:10,160 week refers to the concept of a week but 1697 01:00:15,750 --> 01:00:12,240 that's all i've got 1698 01:00:17,510 --> 01:00:15,760 in the egyptian word for weak 1699 01:00:19,589 --> 01:00:17,520 not only do you have the phonetics of 1700 01:00:21,270 --> 01:00:19,599 the word represented by the glyphs but 1701 01:00:23,670 --> 01:00:21,280 the glyphs are also associated with 1702 01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:23,680 concepts and symbolically the egyptian 1703 01:00:28,549 --> 01:00:26,240 word for week reads 10 days and that's 1704 01:00:29,990 --> 01:00:28,559 the definition of an egyptian week 1705 01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:30,000 it's a very simple word it's written 1706 01:00:33,829 --> 01:00:31,920 with two glyphs 1707 01:00:35,990 --> 01:00:33,839 i can't for the life of me understand 1708 01:00:37,589 --> 01:00:36,000 why for two hundred years youtube 1709 01:00:41,030 --> 01:00:37,599 apologists did take a look at this word 1710 01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:41,040 and say isn't that amazing the glyphs 1711 01:00:46,870 --> 01:00:43,920 symbolize the concept of a 10-day a week 1712 01:00:49,030 --> 01:00:46,880 and the egyptians had a 10-day week 1713 01:00:50,789 --> 01:00:49,040 now you go to ancient china 1714 01:00:52,789 --> 01:00:50,799 and their word for week is it works 1715 01:00:54,870 --> 01:00:52,799 exactly the same way they use a glyph 1716 01:00:57,430 --> 01:00:54,880 for the number 10 that go for the that 1717 01:01:01,349 --> 01:00:57,440 represents concept of the day to mean 1718 01:01:03,190 --> 01:01:01,359 week and they had a 10-day week 1719 01:01:05,270 --> 01:01:03,200 virtually all of virtually every 1720 01:01:07,510 --> 01:01:05,280 egyptian word that i've come across 1721 01:01:08,549 --> 01:01:07,520 works this way in one form or another 1722 01:01:10,549 --> 01:01:08,559 where the 1723 01:01:13,349 --> 01:01:10,559 the symbols of the word specifically 1724 01:01:14,950 --> 01:01:13,359 define for you what the word means and 1725 01:01:17,589 --> 01:01:14,960 so very often i'll learn things about 1726 01:01:19,589 --> 01:01:17,599 egyptian culture that i didn't know 1727 01:01:21,349 --> 01:01:19,599 but i learned it by reading the word not 1728 01:01:22,630 --> 01:01:21,359 by reading it out of some book someplace 1729 01:01:25,030 --> 01:01:22,640 then i have to go find a book that 1730 01:01:26,549 --> 01:01:25,040 verifies it but but the words are 1731 01:01:27,990 --> 01:01:26,559 telling me things that an english word 1732 01:01:31,270 --> 01:01:28,000 wouldn't tell me it's a far really a far 1733 01:01:33,190 --> 01:01:31,280 superior way of representing things 1734 01:01:34,549 --> 01:01:33,200 and the running joke that i have with 1735 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:34,559 people who 1736 01:01:37,349 --> 01:01:35,520 have been 1737 01:01:39,510 --> 01:01:37,359 at least looking at the advertisements 1738 01:01:41,190 --> 01:01:39,520 for this on facebook is that your 1739 01:01:43,109 --> 01:01:41,200 research is so extensive when you pick 1740 01:01:44,150 --> 01:01:43,119 up a book sometimes it's your own to go 1741 01:01:46,870 --> 01:01:44,160 back and 1742 01:01:49,030 --> 01:01:46,880 and see exactly what you would find 1743 01:01:51,990 --> 01:01:49,040 yeah that that is one of the benefits at 1744 01:01:53,829 --> 01:01:52,000 this point in the stage of it i have um 1745 01:01:55,109 --> 01:01:53,839 seven books out right now and hate that 1746 01:01:58,150 --> 01:01:55,119 the publisher 1747 01:01:59,349 --> 01:01:58,160 um very often it's easier for me to get 1748 01:02:00,950 --> 01:01:59,359 back to our reference by looking at the 1749 01:02:02,630 --> 01:02:00,960 index of my own book than it is to go 1750 01:02:04,710 --> 01:02:02,640 back and try to face back now which 1751 01:02:07,030 --> 01:02:04,720 source book was it that you know which 1752 01:02:08,470 --> 01:02:07,040 writer was it who said this well i can i 1753 01:02:10,470 --> 01:02:08,480 can find the reference in my book and 1754 01:02:12,309 --> 01:02:10,480 then and then go from the source 1755 01:02:14,549 --> 01:02:12,319 although unlike george rr martin your 1756 01:02:16,870 --> 01:02:14,559 next book is probably going to come out 1757 01:02:18,549 --> 01:02:16,880 you know sooner rather than never you 1758 01:02:19,510 --> 01:02:18,559 know according to winds of winter if if 1759 01:02:20,950 --> 01:02:19,520 you're if you're following if you're a 1760 01:02:22,230 --> 01:02:20,960 fan of george r martin you get that you 1761 01:02:24,309 --> 01:02:22,240 get that reference 1762 01:02:28,069 --> 01:02:24,319 um 1763 01:02:29,109 --> 01:02:28,079 now i i know that uh sorry go ahead 1764 01:02:30,470 --> 01:02:29,119 all right 1765 01:02:32,069 --> 01:02:30,480 i didn't mean to interrupt again this 1766 01:02:35,670 --> 01:02:32,079 this delay 1767 01:02:41,750 --> 01:02:37,750 um 1768 01:02:45,030 --> 01:02:41,760 the the do the books and do end up 1769 01:02:46,789 --> 01:02:45,040 creating resources for myself um uh 1770 01:02:48,390 --> 01:02:46,799 a lot of times i look back and realize 1771 01:02:50,390 --> 01:02:48,400 now i started doing this work before i 1772 01:02:52,549 --> 01:02:50,400 really knew very much about 1773 01:02:55,990 --> 01:02:52,559 the overall subject i was researching 1774 01:02:57,270 --> 01:02:56,000 and and so the fear is always that oh i 1775 01:02:58,870 --> 01:02:57,280 wrote something down in one of those 1776 01:03:00,470 --> 01:02:58,880 early books that just so far off the 1777 01:03:01,589 --> 01:03:00,480 mark and i'll be embarrassed the rest of 1778 01:03:03,750 --> 01:03:01,599 my life that i thought it meant this 1779 01:03:05,430 --> 01:03:03,760 would mean something else but the truth 1780 01:03:06,309 --> 01:03:05,440 of the matter is that 1781 01:03:08,549 --> 01:03:06,319 um 1782 01:03:10,230 --> 01:03:08,559 i managed to be fairly close on the mark 1783 01:03:12,710 --> 01:03:10,240 with um 1784 01:03:15,430 --> 01:03:12,720 with all of it at least what i've seen 1785 01:03:17,349 --> 01:03:15,440 so far i had the same 1786 01:03:19,029 --> 01:03:17,359 impulse when i actually visited orkney 1787 01:03:20,789 --> 01:03:19,039 island last year i had already written 1788 01:03:21,829 --> 01:03:20,799 and and the book was already at the 1789 01:03:23,750 --> 01:03:21,839 publisher 1790 01:03:25,190 --> 01:03:23,760 about orkney island and i thought it 1791 01:03:27,190 --> 01:03:25,200 occurred to me that i got off the plane 1792 01:03:28,390 --> 01:03:27,200 what would what if i turned up something 1793 01:03:32,230 --> 01:03:28,400 while i'm here that completely 1794 01:03:36,230 --> 01:03:34,230 and that's 1795 01:03:37,829 --> 01:03:36,240 yeah that's always the risk if if you're 1796 01:03:39,109 --> 01:03:37,839 not um you know if you're not out in the 1797 01:03:40,710 --> 01:03:39,119 field and i know 1798 01:03:43,109 --> 01:03:40,720 uh for for certain men it can work 1799 01:03:45,109 --> 01:03:43,119 especially you know having 1800 01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:45,119 uh known you 1801 01:03:48,870 --> 01:03:46,400 at least 1802 01:03:51,549 --> 01:03:48,880 you know familiarly for the last 1803 01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:51,559 six months that you're kind of a very 1804 01:03:56,069 --> 01:03:53,520 detail-oriented guy 1805 01:03:58,470 --> 01:03:56,079 uh like any of your facebook posts is 1806 01:04:00,710 --> 01:03:58,480 very lazy whether it's dealing with your 1807 01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:00,720 own research or subject matter or the 1808 01:04:05,349 --> 01:04:02,880 politics of the day it's always well 1809 01:04:08,150 --> 01:04:05,359 thought out well written and you're 1810 01:04:09,510 --> 01:04:08,160 concise for anybody to read within 1811 01:04:10,630 --> 01:04:09,520 30 seconds 1812 01:04:12,870 --> 01:04:10,640 so 1813 01:04:15,910 --> 01:04:12,880 there is always that risk i know that uh 1814 01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:15,920 researcher david roll recently um 1815 01:04:18,950 --> 01:04:17,280 i i talked about it at the beginning of 1816 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:18,960 one one program 1817 01:04:24,069 --> 01:04:21,039 uh where there was this one a colleague 1818 01:04:26,870 --> 01:04:24,079 of his who does a lot of 1819 01:04:29,190 --> 01:04:26,880 biblical type of study and he hadn't 1820 01:04:31,109 --> 01:04:29,200 actually gone out into the field himself 1821 01:04:33,270 --> 01:04:31,119 or actually looked at these ancient 1822 01:04:36,150 --> 01:04:33,280 documents and scrolls that he was 1823 01:04:39,270 --> 01:04:36,160 supposed to be quoting and translating 1824 01:04:42,470 --> 01:04:39,280 and uh you know with with scott crichton 1825 01:04:44,789 --> 01:04:42,480 um whom we we both know you know 1826 01:04:47,270 --> 01:04:44,799 so when he did his research 1827 01:04:48,630 --> 01:04:47,280 on the admiral he actually went to find 1828 01:04:49,750 --> 01:04:48,640 the journal to look at the pages 1829 01:04:50,549 --> 01:04:49,760 themselves 1830 01:04:52,069 --> 01:04:50,559 um 1831 01:04:54,870 --> 01:04:52,079 with 1832 01:04:56,470 --> 01:04:54,880 the more abstract concepts that you tend 1833 01:04:58,710 --> 01:04:56,480 to approach 1834 01:05:00,789 --> 01:04:58,720 it's something that doesn't necessarily 1835 01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:00,799 have to be done firsthand but it can 1836 01:05:05,910 --> 01:05:03,760 always help so i can understand your 1837 01:05:08,230 --> 01:05:05,920 overall 1838 01:05:09,510 --> 01:05:08,240 apprehension but at the same time yeah i 1839 01:05:12,549 --> 01:05:09,520 i don't think there would have been a 1840 01:05:14,789 --> 01:05:12,559 problem just from knowing you 1841 01:05:19,349 --> 01:05:14,799 well 1842 01:05:20,950 --> 01:05:19,359 my job as a software designer my career 1843 01:05:23,029 --> 01:05:20,960 has been as an independent software 1844 01:05:25,270 --> 01:05:23,039 designer for businesses 1845 01:05:27,270 --> 01:05:25,280 and as i was getting into it i was the 1846 01:05:28,470 --> 01:05:27,280 guy who would get called in 1847 01:05:34,470 --> 01:05:28,480 to 1848 01:05:35,910 --> 01:05:34,480 didn't either couldn't make for 1849 01:05:38,309 --> 01:05:35,920 themselves or didn't want to make for 1850 01:05:39,910 --> 01:05:38,319 themselves but i was expected on the 1851 01:05:41,510 --> 01:05:39,920 short term 1852 01:05:43,270 --> 01:05:41,520 to learn 1853 01:05:45,270 --> 01:05:43,280 enough about their system to be able to 1854 01:05:46,630 --> 01:05:45,280 make this critical change to a critical 1855 01:05:47,990 --> 01:05:46,640 program 1856 01:05:49,589 --> 01:05:48,000 and expect that it was going to work 1857 01:05:51,190 --> 01:05:49,599 only without the 1858 01:05:52,950 --> 01:05:51,200 flexibility of time to learn everything 1859 01:05:54,470 --> 01:05:52,960 about their system and so you had to 1860 01:05:56,470 --> 01:05:54,480 find ways of knowing things without 1861 01:05:58,710 --> 01:05:56,480 knowing it i was joking that i was 1862 01:06:00,710 --> 01:05:58,720 expected to know more and more with less 1863 01:06:01,670 --> 01:06:00,720 and less information the day was going 1864 01:06:03,109 --> 01:06:01,680 to come whenever i was going to be 1865 01:06:05,430 --> 01:06:03,119 expected to know everything with no 1866 01:06:07,510 --> 01:06:05,440 information and that's sort of where it 1867 01:06:11,109 --> 01:06:07,520 went software wise but this is the same 1868 01:06:14,230 --> 01:06:11,119 technique that um i have two rules for 1869 01:06:16,309 --> 01:06:14,240 interpretations the first rule is 1870 01:06:18,390 --> 01:06:16,319 that it it's got to begin with a clear 1871 01:06:20,789 --> 01:06:18,400 state another part of the culture 1872 01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:20,799 it can't be the scranton says the 1873 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:22,319 dominant symbols are about science it's 1874 01:06:26,870 --> 01:06:24,720 got to be the dog and priests say their 1875 01:06:28,470 --> 01:06:26,880 symbols are about science 1876 01:06:30,710 --> 01:06:28,480 the second rule is 1877 01:06:32,549 --> 01:06:30,720 that by the time i get to the end of the 1878 01:06:34,630 --> 01:06:32,559 interpretation i have to be able to 1879 01:06:37,510 --> 01:06:34,640 finish a very simple sentence the 1880 01:06:39,029 --> 01:06:37,520 sentence is we know this must be true 1881 01:06:41,990 --> 01:06:39,039 because 1882 01:06:43,589 --> 01:06:42,000 and then cite one compelling fact that 1883 01:06:45,510 --> 01:06:43,599 insists that the thing that i think is 1884 01:06:47,349 --> 01:06:45,520 true has to be true 1885 01:06:48,710 --> 01:06:47,359 and so that's an approach i've used in 1886 01:06:51,430 --> 01:06:48,720 trying to verify other people's 1887 01:06:53,349 --> 01:06:51,440 interpretations in one of my books i was 1888 01:06:55,549 --> 01:06:53,359 exploring about um 1889 01:06:59,190 --> 01:06:55,559 the possibility of whether there was a 1890 01:07:01,270 --> 01:06:59,200 360-day year in nature rather than 365. 1891 01:07:03,750 --> 01:07:01,280 and so through my friend john anthony 1892 01:07:05,910 --> 01:07:03,760 west i pulled a bunch of of 1893 01:07:07,109 --> 01:07:05,920 um authorities on egyptian calendars 1894 01:07:10,630 --> 01:07:07,119 that he knew 1895 01:07:12,870 --> 01:07:10,640 and what i was asking for was one 1896 01:07:14,870 --> 01:07:12,880 simple fact that insisted they had to 1897 01:07:16,870 --> 01:07:14,880 have a 365 1898 01:07:18,390 --> 01:07:16,880 a year in ancient times 1899 01:07:20,470 --> 01:07:18,400 and they came back with various sorts of 1900 01:07:23,430 --> 01:07:20,480 things for me but in the end everything 1901 01:07:25,109 --> 01:07:23,440 they came back with was equivocal 1902 01:07:27,750 --> 01:07:25,119 the same argument that was used to say 1903 01:07:29,510 --> 01:07:27,760 that they had a 365 day years 1904 01:07:31,589 --> 01:07:29,520 year could be 1905 01:07:33,990 --> 01:07:31,599 looked at in a different way and argued 1906 01:07:35,589 --> 01:07:34,000 that they had a 360-day year and so 1907 01:07:40,069 --> 01:07:35,599 there was no 1908 01:07:41,349 --> 01:07:40,079 factor that insisted that 1909 01:07:43,029 --> 01:07:41,359 that's what i'm always trying to get 1910 01:07:45,270 --> 01:07:43,039 down to whether it's politics or 1911 01:07:48,789 --> 01:07:45,280 anything else in questions of climate 1912 01:07:51,029 --> 01:07:48,799 change i try to rely on things that 1913 01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:51,039 don't get filtered through media or 1914 01:07:54,630 --> 01:07:52,559 studies 1915 01:07:56,150 --> 01:07:54,640 like and one of those things is 1916 01:07:57,670 --> 01:07:56,160 comparative pictures of glaciers all 1917 01:07:59,910 --> 01:07:57,680 around the planet you can pick any 1918 01:08:02,069 --> 01:07:59,920 glacier on the planet pretty much 1919 01:08:03,589 --> 01:08:02,079 and look at how a photograph that any 1920 01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:03,599 tourists took 1921 01:08:10,470 --> 01:08:06,960 in 1950 and take a picture 1922 01:08:12,309 --> 01:08:10,480 of the same scene that was taken in 2017 1923 01:08:14,630 --> 01:08:12,319 or 2016 1924 01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:14,640 and see for yourself what's happened to 1925 01:08:18,149 --> 01:08:16,560 that glacier and you can do this on 1926 01:08:20,309 --> 01:08:18,159 every continent of the planet you can do 1927 01:08:21,189 --> 01:08:20,319 it every major mountain range of the 1928 01:08:23,110 --> 01:08:21,199 planet 1929 01:08:24,870 --> 01:08:23,120 and with very few exceptions you're 1930 01:08:27,349 --> 01:08:24,880 seeing that the glaciers have 1931 01:08:29,910 --> 01:08:27,359 dramatically melted that can't happen 1932 01:08:31,910 --> 01:08:29,920 except with warming and so from the 1933 01:08:33,430 --> 01:08:31,920 pictures you know with certainty that 1934 01:08:35,269 --> 01:08:33,440 we're dealing with a warming climate 1935 01:08:39,110 --> 01:08:35,279 there's none of the hedging of oh did 1936 01:08:41,189 --> 01:08:39,120 this study misrepresent that or or um or 1937 01:08:44,950 --> 01:08:41,199 whatever the politics doesn't come into 1938 01:08:45,829 --> 01:08:44,960 it and um misinterpretation you know of 1939 01:08:47,990 --> 01:08:45,839 uh 1940 01:08:49,990 --> 01:08:48,000 studies and so forth statistical studies 1941 01:08:51,829 --> 01:08:50,000 and things like that 1942 01:08:53,910 --> 01:08:51,839 bring it down to intuitive comparative 1943 01:08:55,349 --> 01:08:53,920 facts and then you get to the bottom of 1944 01:08:58,309 --> 01:08:55,359 the issue 1945 01:08:59,990 --> 01:08:58,319 and i i know we we had um uh jerry 1946 01:09:02,070 --> 01:09:00,000 dickens dr jerry dickens from rice 1947 01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:02,080 university on and what was supposed to 1948 01:09:06,789 --> 01:09:04,560 be a one at one episode you know two 1949 01:09:08,229 --> 01:09:06,799 hour presentation uh ended up getting 1950 01:09:10,309 --> 01:09:08,239 spread into about a seven hour 1951 01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:10,319 two-parter and was all about the carbon 1952 01:09:15,510 --> 01:09:12,960 cycle and all about uh you know the old 1953 01:09:17,110 --> 01:09:15,520 the p-e-t-m uh which is the closest 1954 01:09:19,910 --> 01:09:17,120 analog to the amount of carbon that's 1955 01:09:22,789 --> 01:09:19,920 being released into the atmosphere today 1956 01:09:24,630 --> 01:09:22,799 and you know i i went in um 1957 01:09:26,550 --> 01:09:24,640 and again not to 1958 01:09:28,390 --> 01:09:26,560 uh you know not to 1959 01:09:30,149 --> 01:09:28,400 put a knock against a randall carlson 1960 01:09:31,749 --> 01:09:30,159 for his extensive research in terms of 1961 01:09:33,590 --> 01:09:31,759 carbon being a good thing yes it's very 1962 01:09:35,749 --> 01:09:33,600 good for plants 1963 01:09:37,269 --> 01:09:35,759 but the understanding and being taken 1964 01:09:39,110 --> 01:09:37,279 through the entire carbon cycle and 1965 01:09:40,470 --> 01:09:39,120 leaving the politics out of it really 1966 01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:40,480 gives you amount of perspective to be 1967 01:09:44,309 --> 01:09:42,400 able to say yeah you know i you know we 1968 01:09:45,669 --> 01:09:44,319 don't know if all the changes are 1969 01:09:48,309 --> 01:09:45,679 man-made or not 1970 01:09:50,309 --> 01:09:48,319 but there is some type of environmental 1971 01:09:51,669 --> 01:09:50,319 change going and there are so many 1972 01:09:52,550 --> 01:09:51,679 factors 1973 01:09:53,829 --> 01:09:52,560 that 1974 01:09:56,390 --> 01:09:53,839 you know they're they're trying to take 1975 01:09:57,910 --> 01:09:56,400 as many of them into account as possible 1976 01:10:01,030 --> 01:09:57,920 but right 1977 01:10:03,350 --> 01:10:01,040 it's like especially with you know 1978 01:10:05,590 --> 01:10:03,360 slow gradual change that can happen over 1979 01:10:07,669 --> 01:10:05,600 a hundred thousand or you know 500 000 1980 01:10:10,630 --> 01:10:07,679 years that same type of change is 1981 01:10:12,310 --> 01:10:10,640 happening within our own time period uh 1982 01:10:14,790 --> 01:10:12,320 like geologically speaking even even 1983 01:10:15,590 --> 01:10:14,800 back to 12 000 years ago you know within 1984 01:10:26,390 --> 01:10:15,600 a 1985 01:10:27,430 --> 01:10:26,400 right but 1986 01:10:33,830 --> 01:10:27,440 the 1987 01:10:36,149 --> 01:10:33,840 should be concerned with 1988 01:10:38,390 --> 01:10:36,159 is what are the effects of of a climate 1989 01:10:40,229 --> 01:10:38,400 that's too hot on us what are the bad 1990 01:10:43,510 --> 01:10:40,239 effects and we can see them back in 1991 01:10:46,550 --> 01:10:43,520 1970s they presented us with a long list 1992 01:10:49,430 --> 01:10:46,560 of symptoms we would see if the climate 1993 01:10:51,110 --> 01:10:49,440 was warming one of those is you know 1994 01:10:52,310 --> 01:10:51,120 more intense and more frequent storms 1995 01:10:54,470 --> 01:10:52,320 you know suddenly we're seeing closer 1996 01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:54,480 tournaments of single tornadoes and 1997 01:10:59,510 --> 01:10:57,199 we're seeing much higher wind speeds for 1998 01:11:01,189 --> 01:10:59,520 hurricanes and things like that but the 1999 01:11:03,590 --> 01:11:01,199 everything that was on that list we've 2000 01:11:08,470 --> 01:11:05,430 which implies that we're dealing with a 2001 01:11:10,470 --> 01:11:08,480 warming climate but as far as us 2002 01:11:11,830 --> 01:11:10,480 practically goes 2003 01:11:13,110 --> 01:11:11,840 we're dealing with the same kind of a 2004 01:11:15,189 --> 01:11:13,120 question as 2005 01:11:17,430 --> 01:11:15,199 uh warm season versus a cold season 2006 01:11:18,390 --> 01:11:17,440 during the year that on a hot day in 2007 01:11:20,149 --> 01:11:18,400 august 2008 01:11:23,830 --> 01:11:20,159 if you're in a parking lot and you have 2009 01:11:27,030 --> 01:11:23,840 a car with you a dog in your car 2010 01:11:29,030 --> 01:11:27,040 you realize the value the essential 2011 01:11:31,350 --> 01:11:29,040 value of rolling down a car window so 2012 01:11:33,750 --> 01:11:31,360 that dog doesn't roast or taking the dog 2013 01:11:35,990 --> 01:11:33,760 with you so he doesn't roast but even if 2014 01:11:37,510 --> 01:11:36,000 you do yourself in the car you have the 2015 01:11:39,110 --> 01:11:37,520 scent on a hot day even though you're 2016 01:11:41,110 --> 01:11:39,120 not causing the heating 2017 01:11:43,990 --> 01:11:41,120 humanity is not causing your car to be 2018 01:11:46,229 --> 01:11:44,000 hot on that day it just is getting hot 2019 01:11:48,390 --> 01:11:46,239 but guess how a person with any common 2020 01:11:49,590 --> 01:11:48,400 sense does something about it and that's 2021 01:11:51,910 --> 01:11:49,600 where we're at right now we're in a 2022 01:11:54,390 --> 01:11:51,920 climate that's getting warmer do we have 2023 01:11:55,669 --> 01:11:54,400 the common sense to do what we can about 2024 01:11:57,270 --> 01:11:55,679 it 2025 01:11:59,189 --> 01:11:57,280 and that's you know that's one of the 2026 01:12:00,790 --> 01:11:59,199 main the main factors that we're kind of 2027 01:12:03,030 --> 01:12:00,800 being faced today i know the united 2028 01:12:04,390 --> 01:12:03,040 states has been uh you know at least 2029 01:12:05,430 --> 01:12:04,400 your president has recently pulled you 2030 01:12:09,830 --> 01:12:05,440 out of the 2031 01:12:11,430 --> 01:12:09,840 some people will have one opinion or 2032 01:12:13,189 --> 01:12:11,440 another and i know it's going to take a 2033 01:12:14,470 --> 01:12:13,199 number of years an interesting thing 2034 01:12:16,630 --> 01:12:14,480 about that 2035 01:12:19,430 --> 01:12:16,640 is that even if it all everything's been 2036 01:12:20,950 --> 01:12:19,440 you know everything gets uh executed and 2037 01:12:22,870 --> 01:12:20,960 the agreement's completely nullified 2038 01:12:24,790 --> 01:12:22,880 after i think it's three years the next 2039 01:12:27,430 --> 01:12:24,800 president can then get back into it 2040 01:12:29,189 --> 01:12:27,440 within 30 days 2041 01:12:31,669 --> 01:12:29,199 that's good so but i mean even if your 2042 01:12:34,070 --> 01:12:31,679 perspective is that this is all a scam 2043 01:12:36,310 --> 01:12:34,080 the big business is going to rip us off 2044 01:12:38,070 --> 01:12:36,320 to try to pay for these the costs of 2045 01:12:40,390 --> 01:12:38,080 these changes 2046 01:12:43,189 --> 01:12:40,400 the right answer still isn't what we'll 2047 01:12:44,950 --> 01:12:43,199 show them will just roast 2048 01:12:46,790 --> 01:12:44,960 you know there's there's got to be 2049 01:12:48,950 --> 01:12:46,800 something that can be done about this 2050 01:12:51,430 --> 01:12:48,960 that hedges the 2051 01:12:53,669 --> 01:12:51,440 political side of it well laird you're 2052 01:12:55,110 --> 01:12:53,679 from uh albany uh which is a beautiful 2053 01:12:58,229 --> 01:12:55,120 part of new york i love driving through 2054 01:12:59,350 --> 01:12:58,239 there uh coming back from new york city 2055 01:13:01,110 --> 01:12:59,360 if you have you ever been to ottawa 2056 01:13:03,270 --> 01:13:01,120 before 2057 01:13:04,390 --> 01:13:03,280 ottawa i never have i mean it's not not 2058 01:13:06,310 --> 01:13:04,400 very far from 2059 01:13:08,950 --> 01:13:06,320 from where we are um albany is really 2060 01:13:10,149 --> 01:13:08,960 nicely situated and and proximity to 2061 01:13:12,709 --> 01:13:10,159 canada is one of those things in 2062 01:13:15,189 --> 01:13:12,719 montreal is not that far and and ottawa 2063 01:13:16,950 --> 01:13:15,199 is certainly reachable toronto is also a 2064 01:13:18,709 --> 01:13:16,960 little you know a little around the lake 2065 01:13:20,229 --> 01:13:18,719 but still reachable 2066 01:13:23,350 --> 01:13:20,239 well toronto has no i've never been to 2067 01:13:26,470 --> 01:13:23,360 ottawa i have spent time in toronto and 2068 01:13:28,870 --> 01:13:26,480 in british columbia um and i like canada 2069 01:13:30,550 --> 01:13:28,880 actually quite a lot well toronto and 2070 01:13:33,350 --> 01:13:30,560 and toronto has the benefit of the lake 2071 01:13:35,430 --> 01:13:33,360 effect and montreal has the benefit of 2072 01:13:37,270 --> 01:13:35,440 the at least the currents coming through 2073 01:13:38,950 --> 01:13:37,280 the st lawrence river so a lot more 2074 01:13:41,669 --> 01:13:38,960 precipitation there but 2075 01:13:44,070 --> 01:13:41,679 nowhere near as cold uh to some people 2076 01:13:47,430 --> 01:13:44,080 here in ottawa where i where i'm from 2077 01:13:49,750 --> 01:13:47,440 in december it can get to minus 40 minus 2078 01:13:51,990 --> 01:13:49,760 45 with wind chill and then we get my 2079 01:13:53,830 --> 01:13:52,000 plus 45 in the summertime 2080 01:13:55,189 --> 01:13:53,840 but we get snow sometimes for six months 2081 01:13:56,310 --> 01:13:55,199 on end so 2082 01:13:57,910 --> 01:13:56,320 i can 2083 01:13:59,590 --> 01:13:57,920 see a lot of people 2084 01:14:02,070 --> 01:13:59,600 who live in certain climates they'll be 2085 01:14:03,910 --> 01:14:02,080 like well you know what's global warming 2086 01:14:05,430 --> 01:14:03,920 you know what it's like 10 degrees here 2087 01:14:06,470 --> 01:14:05,440 today like what do you mean global 2088 01:14:08,870 --> 01:14:06,480 warming it's it's the middle of the 2089 01:14:10,470 --> 01:14:08,880 winter time and they don't necessarily 2090 01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:10,480 understand that 2091 01:14:14,709 --> 01:14:11,920 it's over the long term you see the 2092 01:14:16,790 --> 01:14:14,719 changes uh you know if you have but 2093 01:14:19,030 --> 01:14:16,800 during the year or during the week you 2094 01:14:22,550 --> 01:14:19,040 you'll have more extremes and in weather 2095 01:14:24,229 --> 01:14:22,560 and and uh temperature uh but over the 2096 01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:24,239 long term it'll essentially look the 2097 01:14:28,070 --> 01:14:25,280 same 2098 01:14:29,830 --> 01:14:28,080 but you you don't so this is not a 2099 01:14:31,669 --> 01:14:29,840 linear it's not a linear process and 2100 01:14:33,510 --> 01:14:31,679 that confuses a lot of people that they 2101 01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:33,520 don't understand why 2102 01:14:36,950 --> 01:14:34,480 how 2103 01:14:38,709 --> 01:14:36,960 a warmer climate at the pool can create 2104 01:14:40,470 --> 01:14:38,719 can cause more 2105 01:14:42,310 --> 01:14:40,480 moisture to evaporate into the air which 2106 01:14:43,590 --> 01:14:42,320 can cause more snow or more ice short 2107 01:14:46,229 --> 01:14:43,600 term 2108 01:14:48,550 --> 01:14:46,239 now interesting thing about 2109 01:14:50,709 --> 01:14:48,560 climate change i know in northern 2110 01:14:52,550 --> 01:14:50,719 northern scotland it can be not exactly 2111 01:14:53,669 --> 01:14:52,560 as balmy as it is here during the summer 2112 01:14:56,070 --> 01:14:53,679 time 2113 01:14:58,630 --> 01:14:56,080 although where the dilgon are in mali 2114 01:15:00,550 --> 01:14:58,640 which is kind of the they're located you 2115 01:15:03,030 --> 01:15:00,560 know almost around like anywhere from 2116 01:15:04,310 --> 01:15:03,040 from mali to niger you know into 2117 01:15:06,229 --> 01:15:04,320 certain parts of sudan if i'm not 2118 01:15:08,470 --> 01:15:06,239 mistaken 2119 01:15:10,630 --> 01:15:08,480 did you know that you can actually walk 2120 01:15:12,229 --> 01:15:10,640 from well 2121 01:15:15,669 --> 01:15:12,239 apparently according to google maps you 2122 01:15:17,270 --> 01:15:15,679 can walk it would take 1250 hours to 2123 01:15:19,270 --> 01:15:17,280 walk from 2124 01:15:22,830 --> 01:15:19,280 uh let's say timbuktu and mali all the 2125 01:15:29,590 --> 01:15:26,550 wow well that's very interesting 2126 01:15:32,470 --> 01:15:29,600 my perspective on the on the travel 2127 01:15:33,830 --> 01:15:32,480 questions in ancient times is that 2128 01:15:36,070 --> 01:15:33,840 if you've got a group of teachers who 2129 01:15:37,669 --> 01:15:36,080 are talking about how matter forms 2130 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:37,679 the chances are their biggest problem 2131 01:15:42,870 --> 01:15:39,250 isn't how to get around 2132 01:15:44,390 --> 01:15:42,880 [Laughter] 2133 01:15:47,189 --> 01:15:44,400 you know and that brings up another 2134 01:15:49,510 --> 01:15:47,199 interesting question uh if 2135 01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:49,520 you'll have you'll have the ardents who 2136 01:15:53,910 --> 01:15:52,560 will believe that you can 2137 01:15:55,189 --> 01:15:53,920 you have to keep your mind open when it 2138 01:15:56,149 --> 01:15:55,199 comes to a lot of things you know 2139 01:15:59,110 --> 01:15:56,159 whether you're dealing with ancient 2140 01:16:00,950 --> 01:15:59,120 aliens or what have you or metaphysical 2141 01:16:02,229 --> 01:16:00,960 beings and then you'll get individuals 2142 01:16:03,510 --> 01:16:02,239 uh like 2143 01:16:06,870 --> 01:16:03,520 like uh 2144 01:16:10,310 --> 01:16:06,880 graham hancock who will take more of the 2145 01:16:12,470 --> 01:16:10,320 um mind-expanding route as far as trying 2146 01:16:14,790 --> 01:16:12,480 to describe or 2147 01:16:17,110 --> 01:16:14,800 explain talking to other other worldly 2148 01:16:20,149 --> 01:16:17,120 beings and being taught by them 2149 01:16:22,470 --> 01:16:20,159 now is there any uh indication or has is 2150 01:16:24,709 --> 01:16:22,480 there any tradition of the dogon using 2151 01:16:30,550 --> 01:16:24,719 anything like ayahuasca to 2152 01:16:34,950 --> 01:16:33,189 that's another complicated question the 2153 01:16:36,709 --> 01:16:34,960 branch anthropologists claim that the 2154 01:16:39,510 --> 01:16:36,719 dogen are 2155 01:16:42,390 --> 01:16:39,520 extremely well versed in 2156 01:16:43,669 --> 01:16:42,400 the medicinal plants that are in their 2157 01:16:44,870 --> 01:16:43,679 region 2158 01:16:47,030 --> 01:16:44,880 so i'm certain if there are 2159 01:16:49,990 --> 01:16:47,040 hallucinogens involved that they know 2160 01:16:50,870 --> 01:16:50,000 about them and know how to use them and 2161 01:16:52,229 --> 01:16:50,880 have 2162 01:16:54,870 --> 01:16:52,239 explored what they do and what they 2163 01:16:59,669 --> 01:16:56,790 but there's a bigger picture the bigger 2164 01:17:01,910 --> 01:16:59,679 picture rests on the philosophies that 2165 01:17:03,590 --> 01:17:01,920 all these later traditions are based on 2166 01:17:06,470 --> 01:17:03,600 their 2167 01:17:08,070 --> 01:17:06,480 mindset is 2168 01:17:10,550 --> 01:17:08,080 mentioned about the two universes 2169 01:17:12,790 --> 01:17:10,560 non-material material the outlook is 2170 01:17:15,270 --> 01:17:12,800 that the non-material universe 2171 01:17:18,390 --> 01:17:15,280 has perfect knowledge 2172 01:17:19,590 --> 01:17:18,400 but an inability to act 2173 01:17:21,910 --> 01:17:19,600 and that the 2174 01:17:24,390 --> 01:17:21,920 material universe has imperfect 2175 01:17:25,590 --> 01:17:24,400 knowledge with full ability to act 2176 01:17:27,430 --> 01:17:25,600 and so 2177 01:17:29,830 --> 01:17:27,440 there are constant attempts being made 2178 01:17:32,310 --> 01:17:29,840 from the non-material side to induce 2179 01:17:33,750 --> 01:17:32,320 action on the material side and the way 2180 01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:33,760 those happen 2181 01:17:37,189 --> 01:17:34,960 is 2182 01:17:38,550 --> 01:17:37,199 through vivid dreams 2183 01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:38,560 through 2184 01:17:44,310 --> 01:17:41,440 what looks like daily coincidences 2185 01:17:47,830 --> 01:17:44,320 through the strange behavior of animals 2186 01:17:49,189 --> 01:17:47,840 through divination through clairvoyance 2187 01:17:51,590 --> 01:17:49,199 through hallucinating 2188 01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:51,600 hallucinogenic drugs and and so on there 2189 01:17:54,790 --> 01:17:53,280 are a number of paths here 2190 01:17:56,630 --> 01:17:54,800 by which 2191 01:17:58,550 --> 01:17:56,640 this sort of game of charades is going 2192 01:18:00,709 --> 01:17:58,560 on where 2193 01:18:01,590 --> 01:18:00,719 something is done to try to introduce an 2194 01:18:04,149 --> 01:18:01,600 action 2195 01:18:06,229 --> 01:18:04,159 and from our perspective as material 2196 01:18:08,790 --> 01:18:06,239 in a material universe 2197 01:18:10,229 --> 01:18:08,800 we can either dismiss the coincidence as 2198 01:18:14,550 --> 01:18:10,239 being a coincidence and just go on with 2199 01:18:16,310 --> 01:18:14,560 our daily lives but the people who 2200 01:18:18,310 --> 01:18:16,320 stop and scratch their head and say gee 2201 01:18:20,550 --> 01:18:18,320 that's very odd i've had four different 2202 01:18:21,990 --> 01:18:20,560 references and four 2203 01:18:23,750 --> 01:18:22,000 unconnected 2204 01:18:27,430 --> 01:18:23,760 circumstances to the same thing in the 2205 01:18:29,110 --> 01:18:27,440 last 24 hours what's going on here 2206 01:18:31,750 --> 01:18:29,120 the people who learn to pay attention to 2207 01:18:33,350 --> 01:18:31,760 that the people who explore it and try 2208 01:18:35,590 --> 01:18:33,360 to see is there a connection between 2209 01:18:37,430 --> 01:18:35,600 those things are the ones who foster 2210 01:18:38,310 --> 01:18:37,440 more of it for themselves 2211 01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:38,320 and 2212 01:18:42,630 --> 01:18:41,440 anyone i know who gets involved with 2213 01:18:45,669 --> 01:18:42,640 researching 2214 01:18:47,430 --> 01:18:45,679 this field of study that i'm in has many 2215 01:18:49,750 --> 01:18:47,440 stories to tell of unusual things that 2216 01:18:51,110 --> 01:18:49,760 have happened to them i myself sort of 2217 01:18:53,270 --> 01:18:51,120 out of out of the box coming out of 2218 01:18:55,669 --> 01:18:53,280 college i would have described myself as 2219 01:18:57,990 --> 01:18:55,679 being the least 2220 01:18:59,990 --> 01:18:58,000 spiritually connected person that i knew 2221 01:19:02,070 --> 01:19:00,000 i had really no 2222 01:19:04,390 --> 01:19:02,080 um reason to think that there were 2223 01:19:05,669 --> 01:19:04,400 things going on that i didn't understand 2224 01:19:07,110 --> 01:19:05,679 the first thing you learned in this 2225 01:19:08,630 --> 01:19:07,120 field of study is that there are 2226 01:19:11,590 --> 01:19:08,640 certainly things going on that we don't 2227 01:19:14,310 --> 01:19:11,600 understand that we can't explain yet 2228 01:19:16,070 --> 01:19:14,320 and so a large part of the process is 2229 01:19:18,709 --> 01:19:16,080 training yourself to pay attention to 2230 01:19:19,669 --> 01:19:18,719 those and allowing yourself to ask the 2231 01:19:22,070 --> 01:19:19,679 question 2232 01:19:25,110 --> 01:19:22,080 could there be meaning here in something 2233 01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:25,120 that might just be coincidental 2234 01:19:28,950 --> 01:19:27,440 okay now i'm i've got a 2235 01:19:30,790 --> 01:19:28,960 i have a question actually relating to 2236 01:19:32,229 --> 01:19:30,800 this from the the facebook group and 2237 01:19:34,550 --> 01:19:32,239 i've been collecting questions i'm sorry 2238 01:19:37,030 --> 01:19:34,560 everyone out there and unfortunately he 2239 01:19:38,310 --> 01:19:37,040 apparently just left the chat a couple 2240 01:19:41,430 --> 01:19:38,320 minutes ago but if he's gonna listen 2241 01:19:43,590 --> 01:19:41,440 back he'll get it uh this one's from uh 2242 01:19:46,470 --> 01:19:43,600 from ajax 1983 2243 01:19:48,550 --> 01:19:46,480 and uh he writes uh larry you explained 2244 01:19:50,550 --> 01:19:48,560 in one of your infamously deep facebook 2245 01:19:51,750 --> 01:19:50,560 posts the concept of universe matter and 2246 01:19:54,790 --> 01:19:51,760 reproduction 2247 01:19:56,709 --> 01:19:54,800 which is a very early concept passed on 2248 01:19:58,709 --> 01:19:56,719 is it plausible in your view that this 2249 01:20:01,189 --> 01:19:58,719 concept morphed into the many trinities 2250 01:20:06,470 --> 01:20:01,199 found globally such as the sun the 2251 01:20:11,669 --> 01:20:09,110 uh i don't connect trinities to that 2252 01:20:15,990 --> 01:20:11,679 particular concept okay 2253 01:20:18,709 --> 01:20:16,790 when 2254 01:20:19,910 --> 01:20:18,719 the term cosmology for these ancient 2255 01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:19,920 cultures 2256 01:20:24,630 --> 01:20:21,760 when we say cosmology what we're talking 2257 01:20:26,870 --> 01:20:24,640 about are processes of creation 2258 01:20:28,790 --> 01:20:26,880 and what they're concerned with are 2259 01:20:29,910 --> 01:20:28,800 the processes by which the universe 2260 01:20:32,870 --> 01:20:29,920 formed 2261 01:20:34,630 --> 01:20:32,880 the processes by which matter forms 2262 01:20:36,149 --> 01:20:34,640 and the processes of biological 2263 01:20:38,630 --> 01:20:36,159 reproduction 2264 01:20:41,350 --> 01:20:38,640 now in the mindset of the dogan 2265 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:41,360 those three processes are so 2266 01:20:45,990 --> 01:20:43,280 fundamentally similar to one another so 2267 01:20:49,750 --> 01:20:46,000 fundamentally parallel to each other 2268 01:20:52,390 --> 01:20:49,760 that they simultaneously describe all 2269 01:20:54,709 --> 01:20:52,400 three processes using a single 2270 01:20:57,189 --> 01:20:54,719 progression of symbols 2271 01:20:59,669 --> 01:20:57,199 this is a demonstration of capability 2272 01:21:01,990 --> 01:20:59,679 whoever put this system together was 2273 01:21:04,149 --> 01:21:02,000 showing off 2274 01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:04,159 they were saying look 2275 01:21:07,910 --> 01:21:06,080 i mean part of what's going on with the 2276 01:21:09,750 --> 01:21:07,920 symbolic system is establishing 2277 01:21:11,990 --> 01:21:09,760 credibility because 2278 01:21:13,590 --> 01:21:12,000 the system talks about things that we as 2279 01:21:15,110 --> 01:21:13,600 modern 2280 01:21:17,669 --> 01:21:15,120 technological people have have the 2281 01:21:19,830 --> 01:21:17,679 ability to verify but it also talks 2282 01:21:22,470 --> 01:21:19,840 about a whole set of deeper things that 2283 01:21:25,669 --> 01:21:22,480 we're not yet in a position to verify 2284 01:21:27,189 --> 01:21:25,679 and how if you were if you had 2285 01:21:29,430 --> 01:21:27,199 somebody that you were trying to educate 2286 01:21:30,870 --> 01:21:29,440 and you knew that a a certain percentage 2287 01:21:32,709 --> 01:21:30,880 of what you had to tell them was going 2288 01:21:34,790 --> 01:21:32,719 to be sound completely ridiculous to 2289 01:21:37,030 --> 01:21:34,800 them but you desperately needed them to 2290 01:21:38,070 --> 01:21:37,040 take it seriously how would you get them 2291 01:21:39,669 --> 01:21:38,080 to do that 2292 01:21:40,790 --> 01:21:39,679 well it looks to me like what happened 2293 01:21:43,590 --> 01:21:40,800 here was 2294 01:21:46,229 --> 01:21:43,600 they took the most complex progression 2295 01:21:47,990 --> 01:21:46,239 they could think of that we could verify 2296 01:21:49,669 --> 01:21:48,000 potentially verify which is the 2297 01:21:52,550 --> 01:21:49,679 structure of manner 2298 01:21:54,470 --> 01:21:52,560 and they laid it out in scientific terms 2299 01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:54,480 with drawings and descriptions and 2300 01:21:59,270 --> 01:21:56,880 symbols to represent it that someone 2301 01:22:02,149 --> 01:21:59,280 like me could sit down and 2302 01:22:05,189 --> 01:22:02,159 read from adam down to waves from waves 2303 01:22:07,030 --> 01:22:05,199 up to adam and c verify for to my own 2304 01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:07,040 satisfaction that they're talking about 2305 01:22:10,550 --> 01:22:09,040 actual science here they got all of it 2306 01:22:12,310 --> 01:22:10,560 right now 2307 01:22:13,830 --> 01:22:12,320 being able to do that establishes 2308 01:22:15,270 --> 01:22:13,840 credibility that they know what they're 2309 01:22:18,790 --> 01:22:15,280 talking about 2310 01:22:20,470 --> 01:22:18,800 now they go on and i notice that hey 2311 01:22:22,149 --> 01:22:20,480 there there's this whole range of things 2312 01:22:24,950 --> 01:22:22,159 they're talking about that stephen 2313 01:22:27,510 --> 01:22:24,960 hawking never gets into and brian green 2314 01:22:29,030 --> 01:22:27,520 never gets into but it looks reasonable 2315 01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:29,040 it looks as reasonable as the rest of 2316 01:22:32,550 --> 01:22:31,120 stuff what are the chances that they do 2317 01:22:34,870 --> 01:22:32,560 know what they're talking about at this 2318 01:22:35,910 --> 01:22:34,880 deeper level and what basis do i have 2319 01:22:37,669 --> 01:22:35,920 for believing that they know what 2320 01:22:38,390 --> 01:22:37,679 they're talking about at this deeper 2321 01:22:39,669 --> 01:22:38,400 level 2322 01:22:41,270 --> 01:22:39,679 and that whole 2323 01:22:43,750 --> 01:22:41,280 range of symbols that describe the 2324 01:22:46,149 --> 01:22:43,760 stages of of creation for those three 2325 01:22:48,390 --> 01:22:46,159 themes is a demonstration of that and 2326 01:22:51,350 --> 01:22:48,400 especially being able to describe all 2327 01:22:53,110 --> 01:22:51,360 three simultaneously as i said is 2328 01:22:55,270 --> 01:22:53,120 on one level it's showing off it's 2329 01:22:59,110 --> 01:22:55,280 saying here's a clear demonstration of 2330 01:23:01,030 --> 01:22:59,120 just exactly how capable we are 2331 01:23:03,910 --> 01:23:01,040 whoever put the system together well in 2332 01:23:05,350 --> 01:23:03,920 for instance um 2333 01:23:07,270 --> 01:23:05,360 i i didn't actually get back around to 2334 01:23:09,750 --> 01:23:07,280 anthony question about trinity when it 2335 01:23:11,030 --> 01:23:09,760 comes to the question of eternity there 2336 01:23:13,110 --> 01:23:11,040 are 2337 01:23:16,550 --> 01:23:13,120 that relates more to me to buddhist 2338 01:23:17,830 --> 01:23:16,560 concepts of what's called ascension 2339 01:23:19,110 --> 01:23:17,840 um 2340 01:23:21,030 --> 01:23:19,120 ascension 2341 01:23:22,390 --> 01:23:21,040 is 2342 01:23:24,310 --> 01:23:22,400 the idea 2343 01:23:27,430 --> 01:23:24,320 again this has parallelism to it we have 2344 01:23:28,950 --> 01:23:27,440 ascension in an individual which is 2345 01:23:30,870 --> 01:23:28,960 trying to become more spiritual trying 2346 01:23:31,990 --> 01:23:30,880 to to reach spiritual enlightenment 2347 01:23:35,350 --> 01:23:32,000 let's say 2348 01:23:37,270 --> 01:23:35,360 but you also have this process of the 2349 01:23:40,470 --> 01:23:37,280 progression of matter from waves to atom 2350 01:23:42,390 --> 01:23:40,480 is considered ascension and um 2351 01:23:44,229 --> 01:23:42,400 there are processes in the macrocosm 2352 01:23:45,590 --> 01:23:44,239 that are considered to be essential yes 2353 01:23:48,470 --> 01:23:45,600 ascension 2354 01:23:50,629 --> 01:23:48,480 now um 2355 01:23:51,910 --> 01:23:50,639 the idea is that at certain points in 2356 01:23:53,590 --> 01:23:51,920 the universe 2357 01:23:55,990 --> 01:23:53,600 there are connections between the 2358 01:23:58,149 --> 01:23:56,000 non-material and the material that there 2359 01:23:59,350 --> 01:23:58,159 is a flow of energy between these two 2360 01:24:02,390 --> 01:23:59,360 universes 2361 01:24:04,790 --> 01:24:02,400 that as essential to life 2362 01:24:06,310 --> 01:24:04,800 as the natural water cycle which is the 2363 01:24:08,950 --> 01:24:06,320 flow of water you know evaporating from 2364 01:24:10,470 --> 01:24:08,960 the oceans forming clouds rising up over 2365 01:24:12,550 --> 01:24:10,480 the mountains and raining and then the 2366 01:24:14,709 --> 01:24:12,560 water flowing back to the sea there's a 2367 01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:14,719 cycle like that going on with energy 2368 01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:16,960 according to the dogon between these two 2369 01:24:21,830 --> 01:24:19,760 universes and at the points the points 2370 01:24:23,830 --> 01:24:21,840 of crossover between these universes are 2371 01:24:25,669 --> 01:24:23,840 considered to be gateways there are 2372 01:24:28,629 --> 01:24:25,679 potential gateways there 2373 01:24:31,030 --> 01:24:28,639 and concepts of ascension and buddhism 2374 01:24:33,590 --> 01:24:31,040 provide us with a series of metaphors 2375 01:24:36,149 --> 01:24:33,600 for how to locate one of those gateways 2376 01:24:37,669 --> 01:24:36,159 and those concepts are expressed in 2377 01:24:39,669 --> 01:24:37,679 terms of 2378 01:24:41,430 --> 01:24:39,679 three deities 2379 01:24:43,669 --> 01:24:41,440 and at the same time 2380 01:24:45,830 --> 01:24:43,679 expressed in terms of three 2381 01:24:47,990 --> 01:24:45,840 astronomic structures 2382 01:24:49,910 --> 01:24:48,000 now what's interesting is that the 2383 01:24:51,990 --> 01:24:49,920 ancient term for gobekli tapping the 2384 01:24:54,790 --> 01:24:52,000 ancient egyptian term for the region 2385 01:24:56,550 --> 01:24:54,800 that go back to temple was found in 2386 01:24:58,709 --> 01:24:56,560 rests on an egyptian word that's 2387 01:25:00,550 --> 01:24:58,719 expressed in terms of 2388 01:25:02,310 --> 01:25:00,560 three names of deities 2389 01:25:04,950 --> 01:25:02,320 that also represent 2390 01:25:06,550 --> 01:25:04,960 three astronomical bodies 2391 01:25:08,229 --> 01:25:06,560 that's one of the 2392 01:25:11,430 --> 01:25:08,239 points of connection between the gobekli 2393 01:25:14,229 --> 01:25:11,440 tepe symbolism and the later traditions 2394 01:25:15,990 --> 01:25:14,239 that we're studying there were other um 2395 01:25:18,790 --> 01:25:16,000 what looked like sanctuary names are 2396 01:25:20,390 --> 01:25:18,800 archaic words in egypt that look they're 2397 01:25:21,990 --> 01:25:20,400 formulated in a way that looks like a 2398 01:25:23,510 --> 01:25:22,000 sanctuary name they have certain 2399 01:25:25,270 --> 01:25:23,520 characteristics and they're all 2400 01:25:27,030 --> 01:25:25,280 expressed in terms of 2401 01:25:29,110 --> 01:25:27,040 three deities 2402 01:25:30,870 --> 01:25:29,120 what's interesting is the deities almost 2403 01:25:33,110 --> 01:25:30,880 always cross the boundaries of different 2404 01:25:36,070 --> 01:25:33,120 cultures disease like you'll have yah 2405 01:25:38,830 --> 01:25:36,080 mixed up you know from judaism mixed up 2406 01:25:43,990 --> 01:25:42,390 um let's say asked which represents isis 2407 01:25:46,149 --> 01:25:44,000 in egypt 2408 01:25:48,390 --> 01:25:46,159 um you'll have crossover in the the 2409 01:25:49,990 --> 01:25:48,400 names of these deities some survived in 2410 01:25:50,790 --> 01:25:50,000 subcultures some didn't 2411 01:25:52,870 --> 01:25:50,800 it's 2412 01:25:55,030 --> 01:25:52,880 the stages that relate to that ascension 2413 01:25:57,270 --> 01:25:55,040 process these three 2414 01:26:00,310 --> 01:25:57,280 deities and these three 2415 01:26:02,229 --> 01:26:00,320 astronomic bodies that eventually 2416 01:26:08,390 --> 01:26:02,239 work their way down to become concepts 2417 01:26:10,790 --> 01:26:09,669 i'm trying to be able to think of a 2418 01:26:12,229 --> 01:26:10,800 follow-up question from that but you 2419 01:26:14,470 --> 01:26:12,239 pretty much answered that right off the 2420 01:26:16,950 --> 01:26:14,480 bat for me um 2421 01:26:19,270 --> 01:26:16,960 what what what's the 2422 01:26:21,030 --> 01:26:19,280 what would be the big reason to show 2423 01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:21,040 three trip like actually here's a good 2424 01:26:25,110 --> 01:26:23,280 one uh the idea of a trinity with three 2425 01:26:27,110 --> 01:26:25,120 deities what 2426 01:26:29,669 --> 01:26:27,120 overall was was it uh 2427 01:26:31,430 --> 01:26:29,679 the reason to show absol uh absolute 2428 01:26:33,910 --> 01:26:31,440 significance or to get people to pay 2429 01:26:36,790 --> 01:26:33,920 attention or was it just 2430 01:26:37,669 --> 01:26:36,800 uh an ability for people to kind of 2431 01:26:39,510 --> 01:26:37,679 uh 2432 01:26:44,709 --> 01:26:39,520 better recognize or better be able to 2433 01:26:48,790 --> 01:26:46,790 there 2434 01:26:51,350 --> 01:26:48,800 we talk about um 2435 01:26:54,790 --> 01:26:51,360 matter forming 2436 01:26:57,669 --> 01:26:54,800 there are three distinct distinct um 2437 01:26:59,110 --> 01:26:57,679 realms or worlds of matter 2438 01:27:00,629 --> 01:26:59,120 um matter 2439 01:27:01,510 --> 01:27:00,639 as waves 2440 01:27:03,350 --> 01:27:01,520 matter 2441 01:27:05,189 --> 01:27:03,360 that gets then get gets reorganized to 2442 01:27:08,470 --> 01:27:05,199 produce something called a caliber space 2443 01:27:10,229 --> 01:27:08,480 in in string theory it's a spiral 2444 01:27:12,790 --> 01:27:10,239 and then this process is upward from 2445 01:27:14,310 --> 01:27:12,800 that spiral to form uh more familiar 2446 01:27:17,590 --> 01:27:14,320 particles like protons electrons 2447 01:27:21,430 --> 01:27:20,470 three different worlds of of matter in 2448 01:27:22,470 --> 01:27:21,440 egypt 2449 01:27:24,229 --> 01:27:22,480 um 2450 01:27:26,550 --> 01:27:24,239 uh let's see 2451 01:27:29,430 --> 01:27:26,560 um 2452 01:27:34,550 --> 01:27:32,709 uh a anubis is the god of the second 2453 01:27:36,310 --> 01:27:34,560 world of matter that corresponds to the 2454 01:27:37,830 --> 01:27:36,320 second world in egypt was referred to as 2455 01:27:39,590 --> 01:27:37,840 the underworld 2456 01:27:42,709 --> 01:27:39,600 um kepper 2457 01:27:47,270 --> 01:27:42,719 the the insect was the god that um 2458 01:27:50,470 --> 01:27:48,229 so 2459 01:27:52,149 --> 01:27:50,480 i think that there's symbolic connection 2460 01:27:54,470 --> 01:27:52,159 to the three worlds of matter trying to 2461 01:27:56,229 --> 01:27:54,480 maintain a parallelism 2462 01:27:58,149 --> 01:27:56,239 of expression with that 2463 01:28:01,750 --> 01:27:58,159 those those general groupings 2464 01:28:02,950 --> 01:28:01,760 of things um beyond that 2465 01:28:04,310 --> 01:28:02,960 the 2466 01:28:06,629 --> 01:28:04,320 um 2467 01:28:07,669 --> 01:28:06,639 the three astronomic bodies that connect 2468 01:28:10,229 --> 01:28:07,679 to 2469 01:28:12,629 --> 01:28:10,239 those sanctuary names um 2470 01:28:15,350 --> 01:28:12,639 have significance in terms of these 2471 01:28:17,030 --> 01:28:15,360 processes that i say science isn't 2472 01:28:18,790 --> 01:28:17,040 talking about 2473 01:28:19,669 --> 01:28:18,800 that 2474 01:28:21,270 --> 01:28:19,679 um 2475 01:28:23,830 --> 01:28:21,280 one of the things that parallel 2476 01:28:25,430 --> 01:28:23,840 parallelism lets us do is you know 2477 01:28:26,149 --> 01:28:25,440 there's certain things we can see above 2478 01:28:28,950 --> 01:28:26,159 us 2479 01:28:30,390 --> 01:28:28,960 in the constellations and then the stars 2480 01:28:31,990 --> 01:28:30,400 now if we know that the things we're 2481 01:28:34,229 --> 01:28:32,000 looking at 2482 01:28:35,910 --> 01:28:34,239 in the macrocosm 2483 01:28:39,910 --> 01:28:35,920 have parallelism with things that are in 2484 01:28:41,030 --> 01:28:39,920 the microcosm as above so below 2485 01:28:43,510 --> 01:28:41,040 then 2486 01:28:45,270 --> 01:28:43,520 when we're imagining what goes on with 2487 01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:45,280 certain structures that we can't view in 2488 01:28:49,590 --> 01:28:47,520 the microcosms because they're too small 2489 01:28:51,990 --> 01:28:49,600 we can infer from what we see in the 2490 01:28:54,390 --> 01:28:52,000 macrocosm of what that must be 2491 01:28:57,350 --> 01:28:54,400 and vice versa there are processes we 2492 01:28:59,189 --> 01:28:57,360 can we can observe in the microcosm that 2493 01:29:00,629 --> 01:28:59,199 relate to things that are so large we 2494 01:29:03,270 --> 01:29:00,639 can't 2495 01:29:05,430 --> 01:29:03,280 perceive them in the macrocosm like 2496 01:29:07,910 --> 01:29:05,440 what's outside of a universe the dog 2497 01:29:10,070 --> 01:29:07,920 could talk about that 2498 01:29:11,910 --> 01:29:10,080 what preceded the big bang the dog and 2499 01:29:14,310 --> 01:29:11,920 talk about that 2500 01:29:16,709 --> 01:29:14,320 how is it that a wave 2501 01:29:19,110 --> 01:29:16,719 how is it that an act of perception 2502 01:29:20,550 --> 01:29:19,120 causes a wave to turn into a particle 2503 01:29:22,950 --> 01:29:20,560 you know stephen hawking doesn't talk 2504 01:29:24,310 --> 01:29:22,960 about that 2505 01:29:25,750 --> 01:29:24,320 even at that point i don't think they 2506 01:29:27,430 --> 01:29:25,760 necessarily have an explanation it's 2507 01:29:30,310 --> 01:29:27,440 just kind of one of those it's like oh 2508 01:29:32,390 --> 01:29:30,320 well it happens so it is but there's no 2509 01:29:33,750 --> 01:29:32,400 like whether people have have attempted 2510 01:29:34,629 --> 01:29:33,760 to or not 2511 01:29:36,229 --> 01:29:34,639 and 2512 01:29:37,590 --> 01:29:36,239 this is one of the more 2513 01:29:38,870 --> 01:29:37,600 interesting things when you start at 2514 01:29:41,910 --> 01:29:38,880 least when i started to get into more of 2515 01:29:44,709 --> 01:29:41,920 the the metaphysical teachings um 2516 01:29:47,350 --> 01:29:44,719 where it's like the the ancients knew 2517 01:29:49,189 --> 01:29:47,360 the mechanics behind it but they may not 2518 01:29:51,430 --> 01:29:49,199 necessarily have been able to 2519 01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:51,440 witness it firsthand or you know if they 2520 01:29:54,870 --> 01:29:53,120 they may have been able to depending on 2521 01:29:56,229 --> 01:29:54,880 which researcher you talk to 2522 01:29:57,270 --> 01:29:56,239 um 2523 01:29:59,350 --> 01:29:57,280 i i'm 2524 01:30:01,110 --> 01:29:59,360 have always been 2525 01:30:03,590 --> 01:30:01,120 at least kind of more skeptical with 2526 01:30:05,830 --> 01:30:03,600 regards to some of the the wilder claims 2527 01:30:07,350 --> 01:30:05,840 by some researchers with regards to 2528 01:30:09,030 --> 01:30:07,360 portals or 2529 01:30:11,590 --> 01:30:09,040 gateways i'm not saying it's not 2530 01:30:14,149 --> 01:30:11,600 possible but if 2531 01:30:15,350 --> 01:30:14,159 these types of 2532 01:30:16,310 --> 01:30:15,360 gateways 2533 01:30:17,350 --> 01:30:16,320 were 2534 01:30:20,310 --> 01:30:17,360 present 2535 01:30:21,430 --> 01:30:20,320 you know and speaking that um you know 2536 01:30:23,430 --> 01:30:21,440 the dogon 2537 01:30:25,030 --> 01:30:23,440 had claimed that their 2538 01:30:27,510 --> 01:30:25,040 teachers had been not of this world but 2539 01:30:29,189 --> 01:30:27,520 not necessarily actually let's say alien 2540 01:30:29,990 --> 01:30:29,199 they could have been as i said from the 2541 01:30:32,470 --> 01:30:30,000 other 2542 01:30:35,030 --> 01:30:32,480 uh 2543 01:30:37,830 --> 01:30:35,040 right what like was there any indication 2544 01:30:38,870 --> 01:30:37,840 as to their location throughout time has 2545 01:30:41,750 --> 01:30:38,880 there been 2546 01:30:43,430 --> 01:30:41,760 um any research that you found that has 2547 01:30:44,629 --> 01:30:43,440 pointed towards 2548 01:30:46,950 --> 01:30:44,639 um 2549 01:30:49,270 --> 01:30:46,960 you know actual areas where these has 2550 01:30:51,910 --> 01:30:49,280 have appeared 2551 01:30:53,590 --> 01:30:51,920 or been used yes 2552 01:30:55,270 --> 01:30:53,600 the material gets down to the point 2553 01:30:56,950 --> 01:30:55,280 where it makes 2554 01:30:59,990 --> 01:30:56,960 clear very 2555 01:31:03,590 --> 01:31:00,000 very clear statements about 2556 01:31:05,270 --> 01:31:03,600 how and by what processes 2557 01:31:07,189 --> 01:31:05,280 things that are non-material can become 2558 01:31:09,110 --> 01:31:07,199 material can manifest themselves in the 2559 01:31:11,430 --> 01:31:09,120 material universe 2560 01:31:13,750 --> 01:31:11,440 and the things that the dogans say can 2561 01:31:15,430 --> 01:31:13,760 be confirmed in some of these comparable 2562 01:31:18,149 --> 01:31:15,440 traditions that i've studied 2563 01:31:20,870 --> 01:31:18,159 that you can go 2564 01:31:22,870 --> 01:31:20,880 to say buddhism or to kabbalism or to 2565 01:31:24,870 --> 01:31:22,880 one of the other traditions 2566 01:31:26,550 --> 01:31:24,880 and validate each of the points the 2567 01:31:29,030 --> 01:31:26,560 dogan are saying because this other 2568 01:31:30,229 --> 01:31:29,040 tradition sees it exactly the same way 2569 01:31:31,990 --> 01:31:30,239 and it might not have been clear what 2570 01:31:34,149 --> 01:31:32,000 the other tradition was talking about 2571 01:31:36,229 --> 01:31:34,159 until you read the dogan description 2572 01:31:37,990 --> 01:31:36,239 but now that you are making the 2573 01:31:40,390 --> 01:31:38,000 comparison you realize it's right on the 2574 01:31:41,830 --> 01:31:40,400 money it's exactly what what they say it 2575 01:31:43,350 --> 01:31:41,840 is 2576 01:31:45,430 --> 01:31:43,360 um 2577 01:31:48,229 --> 01:31:45,440 so the idea about gateways between the 2578 01:31:50,149 --> 01:31:48,239 universes if you accept the idea that 2579 01:31:52,070 --> 01:31:50,159 there could be a flow of energy between 2580 01:31:53,669 --> 01:31:52,080 the universes then there's got to be a 2581 01:31:55,350 --> 01:31:53,679 mechanism for that energy to flow 2582 01:31:56,709 --> 01:31:55,360 between universes 2583 01:31:58,390 --> 01:31:56,719 and so 2584 01:32:01,830 --> 01:31:58,400 from from the outset 2585 01:32:05,430 --> 01:32:03,830 my having accepted the first concept 2586 01:32:08,870 --> 01:32:05,440 implied that i had to accept the second 2587 01:32:10,470 --> 01:32:08,880 one it's like uh because okay with when 2588 01:32:13,510 --> 01:32:10,480 i compare the buddhists and the the 2589 01:32:15,110 --> 01:32:13,520 dogan systems that are both ancient and 2590 01:32:17,350 --> 01:32:15,120 i realize that both cultures 2591 01:32:19,430 --> 01:32:17,360 independently in different languages 2592 01:32:20,950 --> 01:32:19,440 seem to have sustained all of the 2593 01:32:22,950 --> 01:32:20,960 critical details of this symbolic 2594 01:32:26,550 --> 01:32:22,960 tradition from 2595 01:32:28,550 --> 01:32:26,560 as science from atoms down to waves they 2596 01:32:29,270 --> 01:32:28,560 verify each other they cross verify each 2597 01:32:32,229 --> 01:32:29,280 other 2598 01:32:35,110 --> 01:32:32,239 now when one of them buddhism says that 2599 01:32:38,310 --> 01:32:35,120 they got the the most essential symbols 2600 01:32:39,910 --> 01:32:38,320 here from a non-human source 2601 01:32:42,390 --> 01:32:39,920 and the dogans say they got it from a 2602 01:32:44,070 --> 01:32:42,400 non-human source that was non-material 2603 01:32:46,070 --> 01:32:44,080 that puts a researcher like me in an 2604 01:32:48,629 --> 01:32:46,080 opposition because they're really only 2605 01:32:51,110 --> 01:32:48,639 two ways i can go on that 2606 01:32:53,430 --> 01:32:51,120 i can take the stance that 2607 01:32:55,990 --> 01:32:53,440 well both cultures manage to keep all 2608 01:32:57,430 --> 01:32:56,000 these other intimate details straight 2609 01:32:58,790 --> 01:32:57,440 but when they got down to the heart of 2610 01:33:01,350 --> 01:32:58,800 it the heart of the matter where we get 2611 01:33:03,669 --> 01:33:01,360 this from they both somehow 2612 01:33:08,070 --> 01:33:03,679 misremembered who they got it from 2613 01:33:10,550 --> 01:33:08,080 and misremembered it in matching ways 2614 01:33:12,550 --> 01:33:10,560 the other possibility is 2615 01:33:14,629 --> 01:33:12,560 that they kept all of those long details 2616 01:33:15,590 --> 01:33:14,639 straight and they kept that final detail 2617 01:33:17,030 --> 01:33:15,600 straight 2618 01:33:19,110 --> 01:33:17,040 that's the argument i made to graham 2619 01:33:20,950 --> 01:33:19,120 hancock for why you have to accept the 2620 01:33:23,830 --> 01:33:20,960 possibility at least allow the 2621 01:33:25,750 --> 01:33:23,840 possibility of a non-human influence 2622 01:33:28,390 --> 01:33:25,760 because it doesn't make sense to 2623 01:33:30,950 --> 01:33:28,400 interpret those parallels any other way 2624 01:33:32,550 --> 01:33:30,960 the parallels force it if you accept 2625 01:33:34,629 --> 01:33:32,560 that the two systems are parallel to 2626 01:33:35,750 --> 01:33:34,639 each other you have to accept the 2627 01:33:37,590 --> 01:33:35,760 statement 2628 01:33:39,990 --> 01:33:37,600 that there may have been 2629 01:33:41,990 --> 01:33:40,000 uh non-human influence 2630 01:33:43,750 --> 01:33:42,000 and this is also interesting and i'm 2631 01:33:45,510 --> 01:33:43,760 going to reference one of your your your 2632 01:33:46,470 --> 01:33:45,520 facebook posts on this one 2633 01:33:48,310 --> 01:33:46,480 um 2634 01:33:50,550 --> 01:33:48,320 it's with regards to the interpretation 2635 01:33:52,390 --> 01:33:50,560 of the ancient egyptian word for dream 2636 01:33:54,550 --> 01:33:52,400 which rests on the understanding that 2637 01:33:56,870 --> 01:33:54,560 the feather glyph represents the concept 2638 01:33:58,550 --> 01:33:56,880 of truth the square glyph represents the 2639 01:34:01,189 --> 01:33:58,560 concept of space 2640 01:34:02,950 --> 01:34:01,199 and uh so comes to be a symbol for the 2641 01:34:04,709 --> 01:34:02,960 material universe 2642 01:34:06,790 --> 01:34:04,719 and the figure of an x meaning to 2643 01:34:08,950 --> 01:34:06,800 correctly reckon so essentially that 2644 01:34:10,870 --> 01:34:08,960 would mean truth descends for material 2645 01:34:13,990 --> 01:34:10,880 reckoning which 2646 01:34:15,110 --> 01:34:14,000 at least to me could mean 2647 01:34:16,709 --> 01:34:15,120 well 2648 01:34:18,629 --> 01:34:16,719 if if we're talking 2649 01:34:20,629 --> 01:34:18,639 you know trying to interpret the word 2650 01:34:22,390 --> 01:34:20,639 dream from our perspective using a 2651 01:34:23,110 --> 01:34:22,400 literal language to what they could mean 2652 01:34:25,750 --> 01:34:23,120 for 2653 01:34:26,709 --> 01:34:25,760 reckoning 2654 01:34:28,950 --> 01:34:26,719 uh 2655 01:34:30,470 --> 01:34:28,960 where you know it's an idea that okay if 2656 01:34:31,990 --> 01:34:30,480 is that are they getting it while they 2657 01:34:33,590 --> 01:34:32,000 sleep is it happening while they're 2658 01:34:36,550 --> 01:34:33,600 awake is there 2659 01:34:38,149 --> 01:34:36,560 some type of like is it physical 2660 01:34:40,550 --> 01:34:38,159 movement through 2661 01:34:42,070 --> 01:34:40,560 you know some type of 2662 01:34:44,550 --> 01:34:42,080 some type of portal as you'd mentioned 2663 01:34:45,270 --> 01:34:44,560 to that dimension or vice versa 2664 01:34:49,750 --> 01:34:45,280 so 2665 01:34:51,990 --> 01:34:49,760 go into kabbalism um 2666 01:34:54,870 --> 01:34:52,000 there are definitions of different 2667 01:34:57,350 --> 01:34:54,880 um categories of mystics they describe 2668 01:34:59,350 --> 01:34:57,360 the mass and they discuss they assign a 2669 01:35:02,709 --> 01:34:59,360 term to a category of mystics and 2670 01:35:07,030 --> 01:35:02,719 describe how that group of people 2671 01:35:10,470 --> 01:35:08,070 and 2672 01:35:11,669 --> 01:35:10,480 it's as the archaic philosophy is 2673 01:35:13,750 --> 01:35:11,679 telling us 2674 01:35:15,590 --> 01:35:13,760 that it comes to different people in 2675 01:35:17,110 --> 01:35:15,600 different ways uh 2676 01:35:18,550 --> 01:35:17,120 depending on their 2677 01:35:21,110 --> 01:35:18,560 their own personal 2678 01:35:23,110 --> 01:35:21,120 capabilities to receive it and depending 2679 01:35:26,310 --> 01:35:23,120 on their willingness to receive it 2680 01:35:28,870 --> 01:35:26,320 because if you have yourself convinced 2681 01:35:30,390 --> 01:35:28,880 that it can't be true 2682 01:35:32,229 --> 01:35:30,400 then 2683 01:35:35,510 --> 01:35:32,239 you pretty much prevent yourself from 2684 01:35:38,070 --> 01:35:35,520 becoming a receptor for it um 2685 01:35:40,149 --> 01:35:38,080 one of the comparisons i make about this 2686 01:35:42,709 --> 01:35:40,159 non-material universe that we can't see 2687 01:35:45,189 --> 01:35:42,719 the idea is that non-materials could see 2688 01:35:47,430 --> 01:35:45,199 us but we can't see them that's what 2689 01:35:50,790 --> 01:35:47,440 dogan masks are about 2690 01:35:52,310 --> 01:35:50,800 symbolizing the idea of of somebody in 2691 01:35:53,590 --> 01:35:52,320 our midst being able to actually watch 2692 01:35:55,030 --> 01:35:53,600 and see us 2693 01:35:57,750 --> 01:35:55,040 but without us being aware of the fact 2694 01:35:59,990 --> 01:35:57,760 they're there i compare it to 2695 01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:00,000 the first time driver who gets in the 2696 01:36:04,310 --> 01:36:01,760 car for instruction on how to drive a 2697 01:36:06,310 --> 01:36:04,320 car and doesn't realize 2698 01:36:07,590 --> 01:36:06,320 that the mirrors of the car create a 2699 01:36:09,430 --> 01:36:07,600 blind spot 2700 01:36:11,430 --> 01:36:09,440 they start out with a mistaken 2701 01:36:12,790 --> 01:36:11,440 impression that when they look in their 2702 01:36:14,390 --> 01:36:12,800 those mirrors they can see everything 2703 01:36:16,070 --> 01:36:14,400 around them and they're perfectly they 2704 01:36:17,430 --> 01:36:16,080 can make their judgment based on a 2705 01:36:18,470 --> 01:36:17,440 complete picture of what's happening 2706 01:36:20,390 --> 01:36:18,480 around them 2707 01:36:22,790 --> 01:36:20,400 but the truth of the matter is 2708 01:36:24,790 --> 01:36:22,800 that there's a blind spot created by the 2709 01:36:26,550 --> 01:36:24,800 mirrors that's large enough that if you 2710 01:36:28,870 --> 01:36:26,560 have a tractor-trailer position right 2711 01:36:31,030 --> 01:36:28,880 you can't see it 2712 01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:31,040 and that's the way these 2713 01:36:34,550 --> 01:36:32,960 universes 2714 01:36:37,830 --> 01:36:34,560 play out with each other that from the 2715 01:36:39,990 --> 01:36:37,840 material side the non-material side sits 2716 01:36:42,550 --> 01:36:40,000 in a place that's essentially our blind 2717 01:36:45,669 --> 01:36:44,070 and now 2718 01:36:47,910 --> 01:36:45,679 there are ways of demonstrating that 2719 01:36:50,390 --> 01:36:47,920 blind spot actually exists a very simple 2720 01:36:51,750 --> 01:36:50,400 way actually 2721 01:36:53,270 --> 01:36:51,760 in science 2722 01:36:55,109 --> 01:36:53,280 when they get down below electrons 2723 01:36:56,310 --> 01:36:55,119 protons and neutrons 2724 01:36:57,510 --> 01:36:56,320 um 2725 01:36:59,030 --> 01:36:57,520 there are 2726 01:37:01,109 --> 01:36:59,040 a set of what are called fundamental 2727 01:37:03,350 --> 01:37:01,119 particles these are particles that 2728 01:37:04,390 --> 01:37:03,360 combine to form other kinds of particles 2729 01:37:05,990 --> 01:37:04,400 there are us 2730 01:37:07,350 --> 01:37:06,000 stephen hawking says there are more than 2731 01:37:10,950 --> 01:37:07,360 200 of them 2732 01:37:12,870 --> 01:37:10,960 the dungeons say there are 266 of them 2733 01:37:15,910 --> 01:37:12,880 but both groups categorize them the same 2734 01:37:17,430 --> 01:37:15,920 way they categorize them based on 2735 01:37:19,510 --> 01:37:17,440 the symmetry of the particle what it 2736 01:37:20,390 --> 01:37:19,520 looks like from different angles 2737 01:37:22,390 --> 01:37:20,400 and so 2738 01:37:24,229 --> 01:37:22,400 one group of particles 2739 01:37:26,070 --> 01:37:24,239 is is like a circle it looks the same 2740 01:37:28,950 --> 01:37:26,080 from all sides 2741 01:37:31,030 --> 01:37:28,960 another group of particles is like 2742 01:37:32,790 --> 01:37:31,040 a double-headed arrow that you have to 2743 01:37:35,830 --> 01:37:32,800 turn halfway around to make it look the 2744 01:37:37,189 --> 01:37:35,840 same another is like a single pointed 2745 01:37:39,350 --> 01:37:37,199 arrow that you have to turn all the way 2746 01:37:40,790 --> 01:37:39,360 around to look the same 2747 01:37:43,990 --> 01:37:40,800 but there's a fourth category of 2748 01:37:45,510 --> 01:37:44,000 particle called half spin particles that 2749 01:37:47,669 --> 01:37:45,520 actually have to be turned around twice 2750 01:37:49,270 --> 01:37:47,679 to look the same 2751 01:37:51,030 --> 01:37:49,280 now 2752 01:37:53,189 --> 01:37:51,040 that goes against our intuition we 2753 01:37:55,990 --> 01:37:53,199 shouldn't have to turn any object no 2754 01:37:57,350 --> 01:37:56,000 matter how it's shaped around twice to 2755 01:37:59,750 --> 01:37:57,360 get it to look the same turning around 2756 01:38:03,189 --> 01:37:59,760 one should do it 2757 01:38:04,550 --> 01:38:03,199 but the suggestion is that perhaps that 2758 01:38:07,270 --> 01:38:04,560 kind of particle 2759 01:38:10,149 --> 01:38:07,280 passes into and out of 2760 01:38:11,590 --> 01:38:10,159 a space that we don't perceive 2761 01:38:14,950 --> 01:38:11,600 and so when you turn it around once 2762 01:38:18,790 --> 01:38:16,550 flip the part you couldn't see out and 2763 01:38:20,149 --> 01:38:18,800 the part that you could see in and now 2764 01:38:21,830 --> 01:38:20,159 it still doesn't look the same you flip 2765 01:38:25,030 --> 01:38:21,840 it one more time and it goes back around 2766 01:38:29,030 --> 01:38:26,870 so that's one of the 2767 01:38:31,669 --> 01:38:29,040 one of the 2768 01:38:33,270 --> 01:38:31,679 functions of science 2769 01:38:38,310 --> 01:38:33,280 that 2770 01:38:40,629 --> 01:38:38,320 perceiving a blunt spine 2771 01:38:42,709 --> 01:38:40,639 and for me scientist is the equivalent 2772 01:38:43,750 --> 01:38:42,719 of the guy who gets into the car 2773 01:38:46,229 --> 01:38:43,760 and 2774 01:38:47,830 --> 01:38:46,239 decides when he gets in that from now on 2775 01:38:49,669 --> 01:38:47,840 the only things he's going to accept is 2776 01:38:50,870 --> 01:38:49,679 real are the things he can see in those 2777 01:38:51,910 --> 01:38:50,880 mirrors and out the windshield of the 2778 01:38:54,229 --> 01:38:51,920 car 2779 01:38:55,669 --> 01:38:54,239 and when he does that he automatically 2780 01:38:57,910 --> 01:38:55,679 filters out this whole other set of 2781 01:38:59,830 --> 01:38:57,920 things that are just as real and the 2782 01:39:03,189 --> 01:38:59,840 tractor trailer can kill you just as 2783 01:39:04,070 --> 01:39:03,199 much as an abutment in front of your car 2784 01:39:05,750 --> 01:39:04,080 but 2785 01:39:09,430 --> 01:39:05,760 science doesn't allow for the real 2786 01:39:16,229 --> 01:39:10,830 or if it 2787 01:39:18,470 --> 01:39:16,239 haven't reached a point of understanding 2788 01:39:20,310 --> 01:39:18,480 uh or right and that that's what i think 2789 01:39:22,229 --> 01:39:20,320 the truth is is that this is there's 2790 01:39:24,470 --> 01:39:22,239 nothing really mystical about this we 2791 01:39:28,149 --> 01:39:24,480 just don't understand how it works but 2792 01:39:29,990 --> 01:39:28,159 what religion has done and what um like 2793 01:39:32,390 --> 01:39:30,000 paranormal studies have done and so 2794 01:39:34,149 --> 01:39:32,400 forth have imagined that these things 2795 01:39:35,270 --> 01:39:34,159 that are perfectly real 2796 01:39:38,070 --> 01:39:35,280 but 2797 01:39:40,229 --> 01:39:38,080 not directly purifiable by us 2798 01:39:42,709 --> 01:39:40,239 are in some way more mystical than the 2799 01:39:45,430 --> 01:39:42,719 things that are real to us 2800 01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:45,440 well take um uh and i i use this example 2801 01:39:49,189 --> 01:39:47,760 with uh a brother of mine and i was 2802 01:39:51,189 --> 01:39:49,199 helping with the website problem and he 2803 01:39:53,750 --> 01:39:51,199 said it you know i i fixed the problem a 2804 01:39:55,510 --> 01:39:53,760 lot quicker he'd tried for 15 hours to 2805 01:39:56,950 --> 01:39:55,520 be able to do it apparently and he 2806 01:39:58,310 --> 01:39:56,960 looked you know he sent me an email back 2807 01:40:00,390 --> 01:39:58,320 and said it's like chris it's like man 2808 01:40:02,550 --> 01:40:00,400 you're a god among men i'm like like no 2809 01:40:04,950 --> 01:40:02,560 i'm i'm just that you know that uh 2810 01:40:06,550 --> 01:40:04,960 explorer who uh came across some people 2811 01:40:08,390 --> 01:40:06,560 in the amazon who haven't met anybody 2812 01:40:09,350 --> 01:40:08,400 from our people yet with like a zippo 2813 01:40:11,910 --> 01:40:09,360 lighter 2814 01:40:14,310 --> 01:40:11,920 and you know i'm creating fire 2815 01:40:15,910 --> 01:40:14,320 but you know it's a very simple process 2816 01:40:17,830 --> 01:40:15,920 but because it's coming out of a box or 2817 01:40:19,910 --> 01:40:17,840 because that that you know something 2818 01:40:22,149 --> 01:40:19,920 that they would deem as 2819 01:40:24,470 --> 01:40:22,159 as difficult to be able to produce or 2820 01:40:25,910 --> 01:40:24,480 you know spiritual or or metaphysical in 2821 01:40:26,870 --> 01:40:25,920 nature 2822 01:40:28,870 --> 01:40:26,880 um 2823 01:40:30,790 --> 01:40:28,880 you know coming out of just this little 2824 01:40:32,470 --> 01:40:30,800 silver shiny thing 2825 01:40:34,310 --> 01:40:32,480 you know they may understand the the 2826 01:40:37,350 --> 01:40:34,320 process to be able to make it and there 2827 01:40:39,510 --> 01:40:37,360 may be some um deeper understanding of 2828 01:40:40,950 --> 01:40:39,520 what that fire can actually actually 2829 01:40:43,350 --> 01:40:40,960 achieve we just see it as the 2830 01:40:46,070 --> 01:40:43,360 possibility of of lighting a cigarette 2831 01:40:47,350 --> 01:40:46,080 uh so that you know that connection 2832 01:40:49,510 --> 01:40:47,360 between the 2833 01:40:52,310 --> 01:40:49,520 uh you know between that spiritual side 2834 01:40:54,149 --> 01:40:52,320 and that more literal side 2835 01:40:56,709 --> 01:40:54,159 at least yeah like even i know and can 2836 01:40:58,950 --> 01:40:56,719 say that it's been lost um 2837 01:41:00,950 --> 01:40:58,960 researchers like ross hamilton 2838 01:41:02,470 --> 01:41:00,960 will have at least have said that okay 2839 01:41:05,030 --> 01:41:02,480 well now is actually the time when we're 2840 01:41:06,709 --> 01:41:05,040 getting back into a spiritual time and 2841 01:41:08,950 --> 01:41:06,719 it's actually instead of being in the 2842 01:41:10,070 --> 01:41:08,960 east it's coming to north america 2843 01:41:10,870 --> 01:41:10,080 um 2844 01:41:12,229 --> 01:41:10,880 so 2845 01:41:13,590 --> 01:41:12,239 i have a little bit of hope for the 2846 01:41:15,350 --> 01:41:13,600 future that we're going to look beyond 2847 01:41:16,629 --> 01:41:15,360 just the material world 2848 01:41:18,629 --> 01:41:16,639 and now 2849 01:41:21,109 --> 01:41:18,639 between uh and this is coming from from 2850 01:41:22,629 --> 01:41:21,119 kevin stevens who actually took tomorrow 2851 01:41:24,470 --> 01:41:22,639 off to listen to the show 2852 01:41:26,790 --> 01:41:24,480 um all the way from all the way from 2853 01:41:28,070 --> 01:41:26,800 england the first denizen to to skip 2854 01:41:29,350 --> 01:41:28,080 well to 2855 01:41:31,990 --> 01:41:29,360 skip work 2856 01:41:33,350 --> 01:41:32,000 to listen to listen to their scranton on 2857 01:41:35,669 --> 01:41:33,360 our show it's amazing yeah kevin 2858 01:41:38,229 --> 01:41:35,679 stephens is a friend of mine kevin and i 2859 01:41:40,709 --> 01:41:38,239 met at uh a conference in april last 2860 01:41:41,750 --> 01:41:40,719 year he and and my son isaac and i 2861 01:41:43,590 --> 01:41:41,760 connected 2862 01:41:45,030 --> 01:41:43,600 um 2863 01:41:47,189 --> 01:41:45,040 so i'm very pleased to hear that he 2864 01:41:48,870 --> 01:41:47,199 stood up to listen oh yeah kevin's one 2865 01:41:50,470 --> 01:41:48,880 of our oldest listeners he's been with 2866 01:41:51,990 --> 01:41:50,480 us since i think like episode three or 2867 01:41:54,790 --> 01:41:52,000 four i don't know how he stumbled across 2868 01:41:56,070 --> 01:41:54,800 us um but he he's he's he's an old 2869 01:41:58,790 --> 01:41:56,080 schooler and i always appreciate when he 2870 01:41:59,750 --> 01:41:58,800 gives a good question uh he asks is 2871 01:42:02,709 --> 01:41:59,760 there anything known about the 2872 01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:02,719 commonality or not of the ancestors that 2873 01:42:14,709 --> 01:42:13,109 there are dogan statements that are 2874 01:42:16,790 --> 01:42:14,719 mythical statements and they take 2875 01:42:19,189 --> 01:42:16,800 they're harder to sort 2876 01:42:20,709 --> 01:42:19,199 sort to a real a real perspective 2877 01:42:21,590 --> 01:42:20,719 there's interpretation that has to 2878 01:42:23,030 --> 01:42:21,600 happen 2879 01:42:25,910 --> 01:42:23,040 uh about it 2880 01:42:28,790 --> 01:42:25,920 there are statements of of why a certain 2881 01:42:30,149 --> 01:42:28,800 group rather than another group was 2882 01:42:31,590 --> 01:42:30,159 selected 2883 01:42:32,629 --> 01:42:31,600 to be the ones who are going to be the 2884 01:42:34,709 --> 01:42:32,639 teachers 2885 01:42:40,390 --> 01:42:34,719 um 2886 01:42:41,750 --> 01:42:40,400 that that's a hard question answer 2887 01:42:43,350 --> 01:42:41,760 there's an entire 2888 01:42:46,550 --> 01:42:43,360 chapter in the anthropological study 2889 01:42:49,270 --> 01:42:46,560 that i recently re-read 2890 01:42:51,109 --> 01:42:49,280 trying to gain some more insights into 2891 01:42:53,590 --> 01:42:51,119 to what that's about and to the 2892 01:42:55,830 --> 01:42:53,600 processes by which something might have 2893 01:42:58,070 --> 01:42:55,840 materialized 2894 01:43:00,870 --> 01:42:58,080 from my perspective 2895 01:43:05,990 --> 01:43:03,270 the job of a scientist is 2896 01:43:08,629 --> 01:43:06,000 to explore all the possibilities 2897 01:43:10,149 --> 01:43:08,639 that even if there's only a one percent 2898 01:43:11,430 --> 01:43:10,159 or less than one percent chance that the 2899 01:43:12,310 --> 01:43:11,440 dogan really know what they're talking 2900 01:43:14,870 --> 01:43:12,320 about 2901 01:43:16,790 --> 01:43:14,880 the payoff if they do is so huge that 2902 01:43:19,910 --> 01:43:16,800 it's certainly worth the effort to 2903 01:43:22,070 --> 01:43:19,920 look into it and explore it um 2904 01:43:24,950 --> 01:43:22,080 i do know that the ones who were 2905 01:43:27,109 --> 01:43:24,960 selected to teach 2906 01:43:30,229 --> 01:43:27,119 made a sacrifice this is one of the 2907 01:43:31,270 --> 01:43:30,239 great themes of the dogan 2908 01:43:33,109 --> 01:43:31,280 religion 2909 01:43:36,390 --> 01:43:33,119 it's the concept the sacrifice of the 2910 01:43:38,149 --> 01:43:36,400 pneumo and i didn't really understand 2911 01:43:39,510 --> 01:43:38,159 until 2912 01:43:41,430 --> 01:43:39,520 the book that is currently at the 2913 01:43:43,109 --> 01:43:41,440 publisher right now the one that's not 2914 01:43:44,629 --> 01:43:43,119 yet been published the name of the book 2915 01:43:47,510 --> 01:43:44,639 was just assigned this week it's going 2916 01:43:49,669 --> 01:43:47,520 to be called decoding the maori this is 2917 01:43:51,990 --> 01:43:49,679 about the maori in new zealand i didn't 2918 01:43:53,990 --> 01:43:52,000 understand understand until i researched 2919 01:43:55,270 --> 01:43:54,000 and wrote that book 2920 01:43:56,870 --> 01:43:55,280 that 2921 01:43:58,709 --> 01:43:56,880 ultimately it was a one-way trip for 2922 01:43:59,990 --> 01:43:58,719 these teachers 2923 01:44:02,149 --> 01:44:00,000 that 2924 01:44:03,990 --> 01:44:02,159 things reached a point where 2925 01:44:05,750 --> 01:44:04,000 they were not in a position to be able 2926 01:44:07,109 --> 01:44:05,760 to go back and they knew that before 2927 01:44:08,629 --> 01:44:07,119 they left 2928 01:44:11,109 --> 01:44:08,639 and at that point 2929 01:44:13,669 --> 01:44:11,119 their only recourse was essentially to 2930 01:44:15,590 --> 01:44:13,679 be hunted to death 2931 01:44:18,229 --> 01:44:15,600 these are the 2932 01:44:21,350 --> 01:44:18,239 the pygmies of the uk tradition and the 2933 01:44:25,350 --> 01:44:21,360 pygmies of the new zealand tradition who 2934 01:44:26,950 --> 01:44:25,360 each in their own places were either 2935 01:44:29,510 --> 01:44:26,960 hunted and forced out of where they were 2936 01:44:31,030 --> 01:44:29,520 and forced to go someplace else or 2937 01:44:32,310 --> 01:44:31,040 ultimately hunted to extinction when 2938 01:44:33,350 --> 01:44:32,320 they were in places that they couldn't 2939 01:44:36,550 --> 01:44:33,360 leave 2940 01:44:38,790 --> 01:44:36,560 and it's really very a sad 2941 01:44:39,590 --> 01:44:38,800 thing very sad commentary 2942 01:44:41,430 --> 01:44:39,600 but 2943 01:44:42,709 --> 01:44:41,440 they apparently knew before they came 2944 01:44:43,750 --> 01:44:42,719 that that's what the truth is going to 2945 01:44:47,270 --> 01:44:43,760 be 2946 01:44:48,470 --> 01:44:47,280 able 2947 01:44:49,990 --> 01:44:48,480 to do some of the things that they were 2948 01:44:51,910 --> 01:44:50,000 able to do 2949 01:44:53,590 --> 01:44:51,920 somewhat of a morbid question but 2950 01:44:55,430 --> 01:44:53,600 knowing uh the 2951 01:44:57,109 --> 01:44:55,440 uh picked traditions would this have 2952 01:45:00,830 --> 01:44:57,119 anything to do with teaching people to 2953 01:45:06,149 --> 01:45:03,510 non-alcoholic um i don't i don't think 2954 01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:06,159 that it does um well 2955 01:45:09,189 --> 01:45:07,920 what you're referring to is uh there are 2956 01:45:13,030 --> 01:45:09,199 a number of 2957 01:45:16,790 --> 01:45:15,030 objects or things we can point to on 2958 01:45:17,910 --> 01:45:16,800 orkney island that 2959 01:45:19,270 --> 01:45:17,920 um 2960 01:45:21,030 --> 01:45:19,280 uniquely 2961 01:45:22,709 --> 01:45:21,040 identified and connected to certain 2962 01:45:23,990 --> 01:45:22,719 things for example 2963 01:45:26,149 --> 01:45:24,000 um 2964 01:45:28,709 --> 01:45:26,159 there is a variety of wheat that was 2965 01:45:30,790 --> 01:45:28,719 grown only on orkney island in the 2966 01:45:31,669 --> 01:45:30,800 entire uk 2967 01:45:34,070 --> 01:45:31,679 but 2968 01:45:36,790 --> 01:45:34,080 genetically it's related to 2969 01:45:39,109 --> 01:45:36,800 a variety of actually partly that were 2970 01:45:41,830 --> 01:45:39,119 that first appeared at 6000 bc in the 2971 01:45:43,270 --> 01:45:41,840 fertile crescent region 2972 01:45:44,629 --> 01:45:43,280 there's also 2973 01:45:47,830 --> 01:45:44,639 it looks as if 2974 01:45:49,030 --> 01:45:47,840 there's a variety of mouse a vole the 2975 01:45:51,030 --> 01:45:49,040 ole 2976 01:45:52,790 --> 01:45:51,040 that is unique towards the island in the 2977 01:45:53,590 --> 01:45:52,800 entire uk 2978 01:45:55,910 --> 01:45:53,600 that 2979 01:45:59,430 --> 01:45:55,920 the bbc people arranged to help help 2980 01:46:01,830 --> 01:45:59,440 arrange or quoted a study that 2981 01:46:03,669 --> 01:46:01,840 compared the dna of this bowl to bulls 2982 01:46:05,669 --> 01:46:03,679 all around europe 2983 01:46:07,590 --> 01:46:05,679 and they did find an exact match i think 2984 01:46:09,270 --> 01:46:07,600 they found a close 2985 01:46:10,950 --> 01:46:09,280 possibility in belgium and they were 2986 01:46:12,229 --> 01:46:10,960 imagining that that meant that the 2987 01:46:14,550 --> 01:46:12,239 people on north carolina came from 2988 01:46:16,390 --> 01:46:14,560 belgium but i checked with the re one of 2989 01:46:19,189 --> 01:46:16,400 the researchers the guy who did the dna 2990 01:46:21,109 --> 01:46:19,199 testing i said how far a field of orkney 2991 01:46:22,070 --> 01:46:21,119 did you go looking for bulls that 2992 01:46:24,470 --> 01:46:22,080 connect 2993 01:46:25,510 --> 01:46:24,480 and he said well we limited ourselves to 2994 01:46:28,470 --> 01:46:25,520 europe 2995 01:46:31,189 --> 01:46:28,480 it turns out there's a variety of vole 2996 01:46:33,830 --> 01:46:31,199 that originated in turkey 2997 01:46:36,709 --> 01:46:33,840 in a region of the fertile crescent and 2998 01:46:38,070 --> 01:46:36,719 is found in locations historically down 2999 01:46:41,590 --> 01:46:38,080 into 3000 01:46:42,709 --> 01:46:41,600 like the palestine area and then also 3001 01:46:46,470 --> 01:46:42,719 appears 3002 01:46:48,470 --> 01:46:46,480 in one very tiny locale in northern 3003 01:46:53,030 --> 01:46:48,480 africa in libya i think 3004 01:46:56,709 --> 01:46:54,390 so again 3005 01:46:59,270 --> 01:46:56,719 um we have a connection to that same for 3006 01:47:01,030 --> 01:46:59,280 a crescent region directly to orkney 3007 01:47:02,709 --> 01:47:01,040 island um there are a couple of other 3008 01:47:04,390 --> 01:47:02,719 factors that also point right back to 3009 01:47:07,030 --> 01:47:04,400 that fertile crescent region which is 3010 01:47:09,109 --> 01:47:07,040 the region where go back to tepe is um 3011 01:47:11,669 --> 01:47:09,119 and the era consistently turns up at 3012 01:47:14,229 --> 01:47:11,679 around 6000 bc 3013 01:47:17,270 --> 01:47:14,239 so it looks to me that like whatever was 3014 01:47:19,590 --> 01:47:17,280 going on in gobekli tapia 10 000 bc 3015 01:47:20,629 --> 01:47:19,600 stayed fairly 3016 01:47:23,750 --> 01:47:20,639 locally 3017 01:47:26,470 --> 01:47:23,760 concentrated until around 6000 bc and 3018 01:47:28,229 --> 01:47:26,480 then at that point um somehow made the 3019 01:47:29,830 --> 01:47:28,239 jump to work down it looks like it made 3020 01:47:31,270 --> 01:47:29,840 the jump by sea 3021 01:47:33,430 --> 01:47:31,280 because 3022 01:47:36,070 --> 01:47:33,440 if you trace it down the coastline and 3023 01:47:37,910 --> 01:47:36,080 then over to the tip of northern africa 3024 01:47:38,950 --> 01:47:37,920 and then up the coastline to orkney 3025 01:47:41,590 --> 01:47:38,960 island 3026 01:47:44,390 --> 01:47:41,600 you can almost almost trace it 3027 01:47:48,550 --> 01:47:44,400 well that's also the the 3028 01:47:51,510 --> 01:47:48,560 the myth of uh the pharaonic origins of 3029 01:47:52,310 --> 01:47:51,520 the scots uh that uh they were descended 3030 01:47:55,189 --> 01:47:52,320 from 3031 01:47:58,070 --> 01:47:55,199 uh of an egyptian princess 3032 01:48:02,870 --> 01:48:01,189 that that's in a much later era the era 3033 01:48:04,790 --> 01:48:02,880 that i'm talking about is thousands of 3034 01:48:06,709 --> 01:48:04,800 years before that 3035 01:48:08,790 --> 01:48:06,719 um and there's another perspective on 3036 01:48:11,430 --> 01:48:08,800 the on the word scott and how it 3037 01:48:13,750 --> 01:48:11,440 connects to the egyptians um 3038 01:48:16,870 --> 01:48:13,760 what it looks like to me is that at 3200 3039 01:48:19,270 --> 01:48:16,880 bc before before dynastic egypt appears 3040 01:48:22,550 --> 01:48:19,280 and they don't know what caused dynastic 3041 01:48:26,310 --> 01:48:23,510 that 3042 01:48:27,669 --> 01:48:26,320 education and agriculture and cosmology 3043 01:48:29,030 --> 01:48:27,679 and 3044 01:48:30,070 --> 01:48:29,040 concepts of 3045 01:48:36,629 --> 01:48:30,080 of 3046 01:48:39,030 --> 01:48:36,639 being taught on orkney island and then 3047 01:48:41,270 --> 01:48:39,040 about a hundred years later suddenly you 3048 01:48:43,590 --> 01:48:41,280 have agricultural kingships pop up in 3049 01:48:45,910 --> 01:48:43,600 four locations on the planet all at the 3050 01:48:48,550 --> 01:48:45,920 same moment with no history or 3051 01:48:52,229 --> 01:48:48,560 background in any of the places one was 3052 01:48:53,109 --> 01:48:52,239 egypt called taru one was in ireland 3053 01:49:01,990 --> 01:48:53,119 called 3054 01:49:03,430 --> 01:49:02,000 and each of those kingships was 3055 01:49:07,430 --> 01:49:03,440 associated with 3056 01:49:12,149 --> 01:49:10,390 better yet those terms have second sets 3057 01:49:14,950 --> 01:49:12,159 of meanings like all good cosmological 3058 01:49:18,070 --> 01:49:14,960 terms that um from one perspective that 3059 01:49:20,629 --> 01:49:18,080 taru aru iru peru refer to the four 3060 01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:20,639 cardinal points it's sunrise sunset 3061 01:49:24,629 --> 01:49:23,760 lower and upper which are is is east 3062 01:49:28,070 --> 01:49:24,639 west 3063 01:49:29,990 --> 01:49:28,080 um south uh uh north and south but then 3064 01:49:31,189 --> 01:49:30,000 from another perspective those same 3065 01:49:33,830 --> 01:49:31,199 words 3066 01:49:36,629 --> 01:49:33,840 apply to four stages of an agricultural 3067 01:49:39,189 --> 01:49:36,639 field the first one is 3068 01:49:42,070 --> 01:49:39,199 an uncultivated field then a planted 3069 01:49:44,149 --> 01:49:42,080 field and a field of crop growing in it 3070 01:49:47,510 --> 01:49:44,159 and then a granary where the crops are 3071 01:49:51,189 --> 01:49:49,430 it's very similar to most modern 3072 01:49:52,629 --> 01:49:51,199 websites nowadays if you go to like a 3073 01:49:54,870 --> 01:49:52,639 service website it shows the different 3074 01:49:56,870 --> 01:49:54,880 processes like you know this is our 3075 01:49:57,990 --> 01:49:56,880 design process we start with the idea 3076 01:49:59,350 --> 01:49:58,000 and then it goes to you know there's a 3077 01:50:01,430 --> 01:49:59,360 picture representing an idea it's 3078 01:50:03,510 --> 01:50:01,440 usually a light bulb or some you know an 3079 01:50:04,790 --> 01:50:03,520 ungod cliche like that 3080 01:50:06,470 --> 01:50:04,800 uh 3081 01:50:08,070 --> 01:50:06,480 and you know it goes towards the then 3082 01:50:10,629 --> 01:50:08,080 the finished prod you know the finished 3083 01:50:12,950 --> 01:50:10,639 product and most processes 3084 01:50:14,629 --> 01:50:12,960 that are listed at least within best 3085 01:50:17,030 --> 01:50:14,639 practices they usually keep it to just 3086 01:50:19,030 --> 01:50:17,040 four which is you know the concept stage 3087 01:50:22,830 --> 01:50:19,040 the planning stage 3088 01:50:25,189 --> 01:50:22,840 the execution and the result 3089 01:50:27,109 --> 01:50:25,199 right yep and 3090 01:50:29,189 --> 01:50:27,119 dogan cosmology is organized that way 3091 01:50:32,310 --> 01:50:29,199 too on on on a force basically a 3092 01:50:34,470 --> 01:50:32,320 four-stage metaphoric process that there 3093 01:50:36,790 --> 01:50:34,480 are a number of four-stage metaphors 3094 01:50:39,510 --> 01:50:36,800 that are presented to help us 3095 01:50:41,109 --> 01:50:39,520 properly categorized symbols um what the 3096 01:50:43,910 --> 01:50:41,119 one you're probably familiar with is 3097 01:50:46,950 --> 01:50:43,920 water fire wind and earth the water is 3098 01:50:49,189 --> 01:50:46,960 matter it's wave-like state um 3099 01:50:52,470 --> 01:50:49,199 fire is an act of perception when this 3100 01:50:55,669 --> 01:50:52,480 vibration and earth is mass 3101 01:50:57,189 --> 01:50:55,679 but yes that's that same basic idea 3102 01:50:59,109 --> 01:50:57,199 the whole idea of how you construct a 3103 01:51:04,470 --> 01:50:59,119 building is based on a similar four 3104 01:51:09,669 --> 01:51:06,470 so if i if i had to guess that's what i 3105 01:51:11,510 --> 01:51:09,679 would say happen i'd say we had um 3106 01:51:12,310 --> 01:51:11,520 education happening on orkney island 3107 01:51:14,629 --> 01:51:12,320 from 3108 01:51:17,270 --> 01:51:14,639 around 3200 bc until it was suddenly 3109 01:51:20,310 --> 01:51:17,280 abandoned around 2600 bbc 3110 01:51:22,790 --> 01:51:20,320 now at that same era 2600 bc 3111 01:51:26,070 --> 01:51:22,800 in egypt you have a pharaoh come to 3112 01:51:27,590 --> 01:51:26,080 power who names himself sene pharaoh 3113 01:51:29,910 --> 01:51:27,600 now 3114 01:51:31,750 --> 01:51:29,920 sene means image or reflection of and 3115 01:51:32,830 --> 01:51:31,760 feru is pharaoh 3116 01:51:36,070 --> 01:51:32,840 there's 3117 01:51:39,030 --> 01:51:36,080 a group of islands just the northeast of 3118 01:51:39,830 --> 01:51:39,040 orkney and called the pharaoh islands 3119 01:51:42,470 --> 01:51:39,840 and 3120 01:51:45,350 --> 01:51:42,480 very scenic place with very 3121 01:51:47,189 --> 01:51:45,360 striking mountain peaks and so forth 3122 01:51:49,669 --> 01:51:47,199 now the sunny pharaoh in egypt starts 3123 01:51:51,510 --> 01:51:49,679 building pyramids but not your typical 3124 01:51:54,229 --> 01:51:51,520 triangular perfect 3125 01:51:55,990 --> 01:51:54,239 geometric pyramids he's 3126 01:51:57,669 --> 01:51:56,000 creating shapes that are odd like the 3127 01:51:59,270 --> 01:51:57,679 band's pyramid that changes angles 3128 01:52:00,709 --> 01:51:59,280 halfway up 3129 01:52:03,189 --> 01:52:00,719 he's involved in building four different 3130 01:52:04,950 --> 01:52:03,199 pyramids turns out the very odd shapes 3131 01:52:07,030 --> 01:52:04,960 of these four pyramids 3132 01:52:08,070 --> 01:52:07,040 are real good matches for 3133 01:52:09,189 --> 01:52:08,080 four 3134 01:52:10,149 --> 01:52:09,199 um 3135 01:52:11,669 --> 01:52:10,159 of the 3136 01:52:13,669 --> 01:52:11,679 dominant or 3137 01:52:14,950 --> 01:52:13,679 most striking peaks that you see in fair 3138 01:52:16,870 --> 01:52:14,960 island 3139 01:52:18,629 --> 01:52:16,880 and it's as if 3140 01:52:20,229 --> 01:52:18,639 he was deliberately making it based on 3141 01:52:21,109 --> 01:52:20,239 his name he was deliberately making an 3142 01:52:22,229 --> 01:52:21,119 effort 3143 01:52:25,430 --> 01:52:22,239 to 3144 01:52:28,470 --> 01:52:25,440 replicate 3145 01:52:30,629 --> 01:52:28,480 these peaks in egypt 3146 01:52:32,550 --> 01:52:30,639 now do do we have any uh indications and 3147 01:52:34,950 --> 01:52:32,560 that this is from ibrahim ibrahim who 3148 01:52:37,350 --> 01:52:34,960 hasn't been in the live chat for a while 3149 01:52:39,189 --> 01:52:37,360 so welcome again to the show um and he 3150 01:52:41,510 --> 01:52:39,199 asks do we have an indication of ward 3151 01:52:44,070 --> 01:52:41,520 conflict on orkley island before the the 3152 01:52:46,470 --> 01:52:44,080 probable spread or migration into the 3153 01:52:47,990 --> 01:52:46,480 middle east and elsewhere which might 3154 01:52:50,550 --> 01:52:48,000 have caused the establishment of 3155 01:52:52,790 --> 01:52:50,560 dynastic egypt 3156 01:52:54,550 --> 01:52:52,800 um say that again i missed exploring the 3157 01:52:55,350 --> 01:52:54,560 early words in the sentence do we know 3158 01:52:58,550 --> 01:52:55,360 what 3159 01:53:01,430 --> 01:52:58,560 do we have any indications of war and or 3160 01:53:04,070 --> 01:53:01,440 and or conflict on orkney island before 3161 01:53:06,390 --> 01:53:04,080 the probable spread or migration into 3162 01:53:09,589 --> 01:53:06,400 the middle east and elsewhere which 3163 01:53:12,870 --> 01:53:09,599 might have caused the okay 3164 01:53:14,550 --> 01:53:12,880 no the orkney island like dogan culture 3165 01:53:16,709 --> 01:53:14,560 was 3166 01:53:20,709 --> 01:53:16,719 singularly peaceful they have no 3167 01:53:22,950 --> 01:53:20,719 evidence of any fortification of any 3168 01:53:24,790 --> 01:53:22,960 armament 3169 01:53:27,270 --> 01:53:24,800 one of the factors that keeps a dogan 3170 01:53:28,470 --> 01:53:27,280 village a peaceful place 3171 01:53:30,149 --> 01:53:28,480 is 3172 01:53:32,550 --> 01:53:30,159 a structure that every village has 3173 01:53:34,470 --> 01:53:32,560 there's one just like it at on at 3174 01:53:36,229 --> 01:53:34,480 scarabray 3175 01:53:38,629 --> 01:53:36,239 called a meeting house 3176 01:53:41,430 --> 01:53:38,639 and the rule in the village is 3177 01:53:44,070 --> 01:53:41,440 if there's a dispute of any kind between 3178 01:53:45,990 --> 01:53:44,080 villagers that all the people interested 3179 01:53:48,310 --> 01:53:46,000 parties are required to go to this 3180 01:53:50,709 --> 01:53:48,320 meetinghouse and require to stay there 3181 01:53:53,430 --> 01:53:50,719 until the issue has worked out to the 3182 01:53:54,470 --> 01:53:53,440 satisfaction of everybody in the group 3183 01:53:57,109 --> 01:53:54,480 and so 3184 01:53:57,990 --> 01:53:57,119 consequently largely because of that i 3185 01:53:59,189 --> 01:53:58,000 feel 3186 01:54:00,950 --> 01:53:59,199 um 3187 01:54:03,589 --> 01:54:00,960 the average yoga village is an entirely 3188 01:54:05,669 --> 01:54:03,599 peaceful place and the same was true or 3189 01:54:07,109 --> 01:54:05,679 seems to have been true at scarabray 3190 01:54:09,430 --> 01:54:07,119 now i'm trying to clarify with one of 3191 01:54:10,470 --> 01:54:09,440 our listeners but uh craig flowers in 3192 01:54:12,070 --> 01:54:10,480 chat is 3193 01:54:14,149 --> 01:54:12,080 claiming that the indus valley had a 3194 01:54:15,589 --> 01:54:14,159 very similar house i could be wrong on 3195 01:54:17,350 --> 01:54:15,599 on his 3196 01:54:18,550 --> 01:54:17,360 on him writing that but 3197 01:54:24,629 --> 01:54:18,560 is that something that that has been 3198 01:54:29,750 --> 01:54:27,189 i don't know of a 3199 01:54:31,350 --> 01:54:29,760 specific equivalence to the house plan 3200 01:54:33,109 --> 01:54:31,360 in this valley the house plan we're 3201 01:54:36,070 --> 01:54:33,119 talking about is the original house plan 3202 01:54:37,750 --> 01:54:36,080 of the scarobrae houses they were built 3203 01:54:39,750 --> 01:54:37,760 in an odd way 3204 01:54:41,669 --> 01:54:39,760 this is one of the the pivotal links to 3205 01:54:45,030 --> 01:54:41,679 connecting them to the dogen the house 3206 01:54:47,510 --> 01:54:45,040 has a round room toward one end 3207 01:54:49,270 --> 01:54:47,520 that's referred to as a beehive cell 3208 01:54:50,550 --> 01:54:49,280 shape 3209 01:54:52,470 --> 01:54:50,560 it has a 3210 01:54:55,510 --> 01:54:52,480 square central room 3211 01:54:57,669 --> 01:54:55,520 it has rectangular rooms on either side 3212 01:54:59,990 --> 01:54:57,679 of that square it has a hearth in the 3213 01:55:01,589 --> 01:55:00,000 middle of the square room and it has an 3214 01:55:03,109 --> 01:55:01,599 entryway that's sort of rectangular at 3215 01:55:04,470 --> 01:55:03,119 the bottom 3216 01:55:05,350 --> 01:55:04,480 now 3217 01:55:10,470 --> 01:55:05,360 i 3218 01:55:13,750 --> 01:55:10,480 when 3219 01:55:16,149 --> 01:55:13,760 were egyptian 3220 01:55:18,310 --> 01:55:16,159 and the question i was pursuing was from 3221 01:55:19,830 --> 01:55:18,320 a from a distant acquaintance was 3222 01:55:23,270 --> 01:55:19,840 whether or not there might be egyptian 3223 01:55:24,950 --> 01:55:23,280 influences at scarabray i thought well 3224 01:55:26,390 --> 01:55:24,960 it's possible that don't have done a 3225 01:55:27,669 --> 01:55:26,400 good enough job of preserving their 3226 01:55:30,310 --> 01:55:27,679 traditions that i'll find some 3227 01:55:31,589 --> 01:55:30,320 commonality to them so i went and i 3228 01:55:33,189 --> 01:55:31,599 looked and i discovered that even though 3229 01:55:35,270 --> 01:55:33,199 the dogan normally build their houses 3230 01:55:36,550 --> 01:55:35,280 out of mud they do sometimes build them 3231 01:55:38,629 --> 01:55:36,560 out of stone and when they build them 3232 01:55:41,830 --> 01:55:38,639 out of stone they build them to the same 3233 01:55:44,229 --> 01:55:41,840 plant only for them the plan has 3234 01:55:45,030 --> 01:55:44,239 cosmological meaning symbolism to it 3235 01:55:47,589 --> 01:55:45,040 this 3236 01:55:49,669 --> 01:55:47,599 the house plan is supposed to represent 3237 01:55:51,109 --> 01:55:49,679 the body of a sleeping woman or a 3238 01:55:52,950 --> 01:55:51,119 sleeping goddess 3239 01:55:56,149 --> 01:55:52,960 and the round room is her head the 3240 01:55:57,990 --> 01:55:56,159 square room is her body cavity the 3241 01:56:01,030 --> 01:55:58,000 rectangular rooms on the sides are her 3242 01:56:03,589 --> 01:56:01,040 arms the square hearth is her heart 3243 01:56:06,550 --> 01:56:03,599 and the entryway are her sexual parts 3244 01:56:08,470 --> 01:56:06,560 the dogan use that same plan except they 3245 01:56:10,550 --> 01:56:08,480 live in a sub-tropical climate they 3246 01:56:12,229 --> 01:56:10,560 don't need a hearth in their house they 3247 01:56:14,149 --> 01:56:12,239 don't need to warm their house 3248 01:56:15,910 --> 01:56:14,159 and so their hearth which is built in 3249 01:56:18,790 --> 01:56:15,920 the same way as the hearth of the scarab 3250 01:56:20,790 --> 01:56:18,800 ray house has been moved out into a um a 3251 01:56:23,189 --> 01:56:20,800 courtyard not in the house 3252 01:56:25,430 --> 01:56:23,199 but i thought now my perspective was i 3253 01:56:26,790 --> 01:56:25,440 was seeing dogan and egyptian influences 3254 01:56:31,430 --> 01:56:26,800 on 3255 01:56:34,550 --> 01:56:31,440 island that the flow was from the dogen 3256 01:56:35,830 --> 01:56:34,560 to or from the egyptians to the scotland 3257 01:56:37,990 --> 01:56:35,840 and so i thought well that's very 3258 01:56:40,070 --> 01:56:38,000 interesting that when 3259 01:56:42,070 --> 01:56:40,080 on in scotland they implemented the 3260 01:56:43,990 --> 01:56:42,080 hospital and they added the hearth 3261 01:56:45,669 --> 01:56:44,000 because it was a colder climate but they 3262 01:56:46,709 --> 01:56:45,679 did it in keeping with the symbolism of 3263 01:56:49,189 --> 01:56:46,719 the house 3264 01:56:50,709 --> 01:56:49,199 it wasn't for a while in into my studies 3265 01:56:53,270 --> 01:56:50,719 that it occurred to me that i had things 3266 01:56:55,430 --> 01:56:53,280 backwards that the hearth was an 3267 01:56:56,870 --> 01:56:55,440 original part of the plan and the dogan 3268 01:56:59,030 --> 01:56:56,880 simply removed it when they went to 3269 01:57:01,030 --> 01:56:59,040 africa that the influence slowed the 3270 01:57:03,510 --> 01:57:01,040 away that that 3271 01:57:05,189 --> 01:57:03,520 orkney island was too early to be 3272 01:57:06,950 --> 01:57:05,199 reasonably be 3273 01:57:08,830 --> 01:57:06,960 the result of an expedition mounted from 3274 01:57:12,149 --> 01:57:08,840 egypt to 3275 01:57:15,030 --> 01:57:12,159 scotland and that what we're seeing on 3276 01:57:17,270 --> 01:57:15,040 orkney island is essentially a college 3277 01:57:18,790 --> 01:57:17,280 an instructional site and that the 3278 01:57:20,790 --> 01:57:18,800 influences from there go out in 3279 01:57:23,830 --> 01:57:20,800 different directions and to support that 3280 01:57:25,030 --> 01:57:23,840 idea we've got dna studies on orkney 3281 01:57:26,950 --> 01:57:25,040 island that 3282 01:57:29,109 --> 01:57:26,960 show it to be one of the most 3283 01:57:31,030 --> 01:57:29,119 genetically diverse places in the entire 3284 01:57:33,430 --> 01:57:31,040 world and nobody knows why 3285 01:57:35,430 --> 01:57:33,440 looks to me the reason that that is 3286 01:57:37,510 --> 01:57:35,440 is because the dogan are right when they 3287 01:57:39,750 --> 01:57:37,520 say that tribal groups were brought from 3288 01:57:41,350 --> 01:57:39,760 all over to this locale to teach them 3289 01:57:44,310 --> 01:57:41,360 and then send a way to teach everybody 3290 01:57:47,830 --> 01:57:44,320 else that could result in the kind of 3291 01:57:50,149 --> 01:57:47,840 um dna mixing that we see on norcal 3292 01:57:53,270 --> 01:57:50,159 that would make a a lot of sense and and 3293 01:57:55,350 --> 01:57:53,280 it brings to mind that every single year 3294 01:57:57,189 --> 01:57:55,360 you have all of these uh 3295 01:57:59,350 --> 01:57:57,199 young adults and and 3296 01:58:00,950 --> 01:57:59,360 really really late teens that head to 3297 01:58:02,790 --> 01:58:00,960 college they will travel sometimes all 3298 01:58:05,510 --> 01:58:02,800 the way across the country or across the 3299 01:58:06,470 --> 01:58:05,520 world to get to this this area of 3300 01:58:10,550 --> 01:58:06,480 learning 3301 01:58:12,950 --> 01:58:10,560 and that's where you know ideas and well 3302 01:58:13,669 --> 01:58:12,960 beforehand not ideas are becoming kind 3303 01:58:15,109 --> 01:58:13,679 of 3304 01:58:17,430 --> 01:58:15,119 um 3305 01:58:19,430 --> 01:58:17,440 uh unshareable on on college campuses 3306 01:58:21,109 --> 01:58:19,440 nowadays i'm i'm you know with my wife 3307 01:58:22,390 --> 01:58:21,119 uh giving birth in the next six months 3308 01:58:24,790 --> 01:58:22,400 i'm always i'm worried about what's 3309 01:58:25,910 --> 01:58:24,800 going to happen in 18 years from now but 3310 01:58:27,669 --> 01:58:25,920 traditionally 3311 01:58:29,350 --> 01:58:27,679 it's supposed to be the the place of 3312 01:58:30,550 --> 01:58:29,360 higher learning where where very liberal 3313 01:58:32,790 --> 01:58:30,560 people can 3314 01:58:34,390 --> 01:58:32,800 discuss uh indiscriminately ideas and 3315 01:58:35,270 --> 01:58:34,400 and and 3316 01:58:37,270 --> 01:58:35,280 gain 3317 01:58:39,910 --> 01:58:37,280 exposure to different cultures 3318 01:58:42,070 --> 01:58:39,920 now has there been any evidence or is 3319 01:58:43,910 --> 01:58:42,080 there any theory about 3320 01:58:46,070 --> 01:58:43,920 different cultures being there at the 3321 01:58:47,189 --> 01:58:46,080 same time in intermingling 3322 01:58:51,510 --> 01:58:47,199 besides 3323 01:58:54,470 --> 01:58:51,520 dna 3324 01:58:56,950 --> 01:58:54,480 but 3325 01:58:58,550 --> 01:58:56,960 if that were true then we would have a 3326 01:59:00,790 --> 01:58:58,560 fairly easy and understandable 3327 01:59:02,390 --> 01:59:00,800 explanation for why 3328 01:59:04,950 --> 01:59:02,400 stone working techniques are the same 3329 01:59:07,030 --> 01:59:04,960 all over the world and and all these are 3330 01:59:09,109 --> 01:59:07,040 typical symbols that jung talks about 3331 01:59:10,149 --> 01:59:09,119 are the same all over the world it's not 3332 01:59:16,790 --> 01:59:10,159 because 3333 01:59:18,790 --> 01:59:16,800 got together with the people from egypt 3334 01:59:20,709 --> 01:59:18,800 it may just be that they were taught by 3335 01:59:22,790 --> 01:59:20,719 the same teachers according to the same 3336 01:59:24,310 --> 01:59:22,800 plan 3337 01:59:25,510 --> 01:59:24,320 and that's really the way that i look at 3338 01:59:27,189 --> 01:59:25,520 things that 3339 01:59:29,350 --> 01:59:27,199 the lion's share of the similarities 3340 01:59:31,030 --> 01:59:29,360 we're seeing 3341 01:59:33,109 --> 01:59:31,040 result from the fact that they were all 3342 01:59:35,669 --> 01:59:33,119 taught by the same 3343 01:59:37,510 --> 01:59:35,679 uh prior source not because necessarily 3344 01:59:41,270 --> 01:59:37,520 because they had contact with each other 3345 01:59:43,750 --> 01:59:41,280 now the term cosmology deals a lot with 3346 01:59:45,030 --> 01:59:43,760 very abstract ideas and it can also deal 3347 01:59:47,350 --> 01:59:45,040 with very 3348 01:59:50,310 --> 01:59:47,360 non-abstract ideas such as mathematics 3349 01:59:53,189 --> 01:59:50,320 and geometry um i'm you know being a 3350 01:59:55,669 --> 01:59:53,199 freemason myself the the idea of uh 3351 01:59:57,669 --> 01:59:55,679 you know using geometry to 3352 01:59:59,589 --> 01:59:57,679 at least gain the higher knowledge of 3353 02:00:03,030 --> 01:59:59,599 the universe and and 3354 02:00:04,310 --> 02:00:03,040 you know all of that stuff um 3355 02:00:06,390 --> 02:00:04,320 it it seems 3356 02:00:07,750 --> 02:00:06,400 very 3357 02:00:09,990 --> 02:00:07,760 it's interesting to me and i'm going to 3358 02:00:11,830 --> 02:00:10,000 refer to work by a guest that we had on 3359 02:00:13,510 --> 02:00:11,840 two weeks ago and i i may have a 3360 02:00:14,310 --> 02:00:13,520 sentient email to introduce you to him 3361 02:00:16,310 --> 02:00:14,320 um 3362 02:00:17,510 --> 02:00:16,320 brother john michael greer 3363 02:00:19,589 --> 02:00:17,520 uh he 3364 02:00:21,910 --> 02:00:19,599 in one of his books he had laid out that 3365 02:00:23,189 --> 02:00:21,920 the the basic guide and you know uh even 3366 02:00:25,109 --> 02:00:23,199 though i'm a freemasonic i'd say this 3367 02:00:27,430 --> 02:00:25,119 because it's from the books so 3368 02:00:28,870 --> 02:00:27,440 the the secret of freemasonry was 3369 02:00:30,550 --> 02:00:28,880 essentially 3370 02:00:32,709 --> 02:00:30,560 um or at least one of the secrets was 3371 02:00:34,709 --> 02:00:32,719 how to lay out a building using uh 3372 02:00:37,750 --> 02:00:34,719 geometric 3373 02:00:40,070 --> 02:00:37,760 manners and the 3374 02:00:41,669 --> 02:00:40,080 at least i i'm seeing that the 3375 02:00:44,229 --> 02:00:41,679 similarities between the way that it was 3376 02:00:46,310 --> 02:00:44,239 done in egypt and possibly earlier is 3377 02:00:47,350 --> 02:00:46,320 very very very similar if not the exact 3378 02:00:49,589 --> 02:00:47,360 same way 3379 02:00:51,510 --> 02:00:49,599 that was done during the 3380 02:00:53,910 --> 02:00:51,520 building period in europe so for all the 3381 02:00:55,270 --> 02:00:53,920 great cathedrals that were put up all 3382 02:01:00,070 --> 02:00:55,280 across 3383 02:01:02,470 --> 02:01:00,080 during the the warming period 3384 02:01:04,709 --> 02:01:02,480 we're using the same principles so is 3385 02:01:06,870 --> 02:01:04,719 there right and and 3386 02:01:08,629 --> 02:01:06,880 many different cultures do it i mean 3387 02:01:10,470 --> 02:01:08,639 you have archaeologists out there 3388 02:01:12,550 --> 02:01:10,480 surmising that well the way they align 3389 02:01:14,790 --> 02:01:12,560 this thing to north south east and west 3390 02:01:17,030 --> 02:01:14,800 so precisely say the great pyramid was 3391 02:01:18,870 --> 02:01:17,040 by siding on the northern star and they 3392 02:01:21,109 --> 02:01:18,880 have all these exotic techniques they 3393 02:01:23,270 --> 02:01:21,119 talk about being used to align things 3394 02:01:24,709 --> 02:01:23,280 when the actual 3395 02:01:27,109 --> 02:01:24,719 the easiest way to 3396 02:01:29,750 --> 02:01:27,119 achieve the alignment is geometric and 3397 02:01:32,390 --> 02:01:29,760 it really has it only involves a stick 3398 02:01:36,149 --> 02:01:32,400 in an empty field and sunlight 3399 02:01:38,550 --> 02:01:36,159 and you draw a circle around the stick 3400 02:01:40,709 --> 02:01:38,560 where the diameter of the circle is 3401 02:01:41,910 --> 02:01:40,719 twice the height of the stick 3402 02:01:44,950 --> 02:01:41,920 and then 3403 02:01:46,709 --> 02:01:44,960 each you measure the two longest 3404 02:01:48,470 --> 02:01:46,719 shadows of the day that are cast by the 3405 02:01:51,189 --> 02:01:48,480 sun you know the stick 3406 02:01:52,709 --> 02:01:51,199 of the stick um morning and evening at 3407 02:01:54,870 --> 02:01:52,719 the points where they cross the circle 3408 02:01:57,270 --> 02:01:54,880 that you drew around the stick those two 3409 02:01:59,109 --> 02:01:57,280 points are automatically aligned east 3410 02:02:02,310 --> 02:01:59,119 and west because the sun rises in the 3411 02:02:04,470 --> 02:02:02,320 east and it's heads in the west 3412 02:02:05,270 --> 02:02:04,480 that line if you were to mark it every 3413 02:02:07,589 --> 02:02:05,280 day 3414 02:02:10,229 --> 02:02:07,599 you would see it appear to move 3415 02:02:12,149 --> 02:02:10,239 um because of the way the seasons work 3416 02:02:14,149 --> 02:02:12,159 on our our planet 3417 02:02:15,350 --> 02:02:14,159 that the sun rises a little bit farther 3418 02:02:16,790 --> 02:02:15,360 north a little bit farther north a 3419 02:02:18,950 --> 02:02:16,800 little bit farther north we get to the 3420 02:02:21,030 --> 02:02:18,960 solstice and then it starts moving south 3421 02:02:23,270 --> 02:02:21,040 again until we get to the next full 3422 02:02:24,790 --> 02:02:23,280 assist and at the equinoxes it passes 3423 02:02:28,070 --> 02:02:24,800 right through the stick 3424 02:02:29,109 --> 02:02:28,080 so with this one figure 3425 02:02:30,870 --> 02:02:29,119 you have 3426 02:02:33,910 --> 02:02:30,880 two prerequisites of agriculture you 3427 02:02:36,149 --> 02:02:33,920 have the ability to mark time during the 3428 02:02:37,910 --> 02:02:36,159 day to know 3429 02:02:40,470 --> 02:02:37,920 keep track of the reason we keep track 3430 02:02:42,229 --> 02:02:40,480 of the hours that you have a sundial 3431 02:02:44,390 --> 02:02:42,239 but the line moving back and forth gives 3432 02:02:46,550 --> 02:02:44,400 you a calendar a way to give visibility 3433 02:02:48,790 --> 02:02:46,560 to the seasons so you have an idea of 3434 02:02:50,709 --> 02:02:48,800 when to plant and when to to harvest and 3435 02:02:53,589 --> 02:02:50,719 things like that based on something 3436 02:02:56,229 --> 02:02:53,599 scientific not based on guesswork 3437 02:02:58,390 --> 02:02:56,239 no i'm and that geometry is found 3438 02:02:59,589 --> 02:02:58,400 everywhere it's in islam it's it's in 3439 02:03:02,550 --> 02:02:59,599 buddhism 3440 02:03:04,950 --> 02:03:02,560 at the dogan use it um it looks like 3441 02:03:07,189 --> 02:03:04,960 it's used all over 3442 02:03:09,030 --> 02:03:07,199 and for this type of measurement 3443 02:03:10,950 --> 02:03:09,040 traditionally the qubit was used and i 3444 02:03:13,189 --> 02:03:10,960 know that there are several 3445 02:03:16,149 --> 02:03:13,199 different forms of qubit of various 3446 02:03:17,830 --> 02:03:16,159 lengths usually based around the um the 3447 02:03:21,350 --> 02:03:17,840 forearm and the palm 3448 02:03:24,390 --> 02:03:21,360 uh now this is has this been found on uh 3449 02:03:26,470 --> 02:03:24,400 orkney and or ferro islands uh in 3450 02:03:29,510 --> 02:03:26,480 construction yeah the 3451 02:03:31,350 --> 02:03:29,520 the cubit um i consider the cubit to be 3452 02:03:34,070 --> 02:03:31,360 one of the signatures of the tradition 3453 02:03:35,830 --> 02:03:34,080 and by that i mean any culture that used 3454 02:03:37,189 --> 02:03:35,840 the qubit 3455 02:03:40,629 --> 02:03:37,199 that's an indication that they were 3456 02:03:42,870 --> 02:03:40,639 influenced by the same cosmological plan 3457 02:03:45,189 --> 02:03:42,880 now the reason 3458 02:03:48,070 --> 02:03:45,199 that the qubit is different lengths and 3459 02:03:50,550 --> 02:03:48,080 different cultures is because 3460 02:03:52,629 --> 02:03:50,560 this geometry works based on the 3461 02:03:55,189 --> 02:03:52,639 relationship with the figures drawn not 3462 02:03:57,830 --> 02:03:55,199 how big they are 3463 02:03:58,790 --> 02:03:57,840 so it doesn't matter how big you measure 3464 02:04:00,950 --> 02:03:58,800 it as long as you measure it 3465 02:04:03,350 --> 02:04:00,960 consistently that means that you don't 3466 02:04:04,950 --> 02:04:03,360 need a precise unit of measure where 3467 02:04:06,310 --> 02:04:04,960 everybody has a yardstick the same 3468 02:04:08,470 --> 02:04:06,320 length 3469 02:04:11,270 --> 02:04:08,480 it suffices to have a relative unit of 3470 02:04:12,629 --> 02:04:11,280 measure and so like all other 3471 02:04:15,350 --> 02:04:12,639 um 3472 02:04:17,430 --> 02:04:15,360 definitions in the cosmology 3473 02:04:20,070 --> 02:04:17,440 a cubit had more than one definition it 3474 02:04:22,149 --> 02:04:20,080 could be the distance from an elbow to 3475 02:04:23,510 --> 02:04:22,159 the middle the tip of the middle finger 3476 02:04:24,790 --> 02:04:23,520 which was a different length on every 3477 02:04:27,189 --> 02:04:24,800 person 3478 02:04:30,470 --> 02:04:27,199 but it could also be measured as the 3479 02:04:33,350 --> 02:04:30,480 average step or pace of a person 3480 02:04:35,510 --> 02:04:33,360 and using that each initiate without 3481 02:04:37,510 --> 02:04:35,520 being supplied with any kind of a tool 3482 02:04:40,310 --> 02:04:37,520 in a time of hunter gatherers where 3483 02:04:42,149 --> 02:04:40,320 tools were not available 3484 02:04:44,070 --> 02:04:42,159 any initiate could measure out this 3485 02:04:46,550 --> 02:04:44,080 alignment geometry it's the first first 3486 02:04:48,790 --> 02:04:46,560 exercise that's taught to a buddhist 3487 02:04:49,990 --> 02:04:48,800 initiate 3488 02:04:53,990 --> 02:04:50,000 how to 3489 02:04:55,910 --> 02:04:54,000 align a structure using this geometry 3490 02:04:57,750 --> 02:04:55,920 and the mindset is 3491 02:05:00,310 --> 02:04:57,760 that the geometry 3492 02:05:03,910 --> 02:05:00,320 recreates 3493 02:05:05,030 --> 02:05:03,920 key processes of how matter forms 3494 02:05:06,709 --> 02:05:05,040 essential 3495 02:05:08,870 --> 02:05:06,719 shapes that are responsible in the 3496 02:05:11,189 --> 02:05:08,880 formation of matter that appear during 3497 02:05:12,550 --> 02:05:11,199 the formation of matter 3498 02:05:14,950 --> 02:05:12,560 an interesting thing and this is again 3499 02:05:17,660 --> 02:05:14,960 from from your work is the 3500 02:05:21,589 --> 02:05:18,790 [Music] 3501 02:05:23,030 --> 02:05:21,599 it's uh this is on orkney island uh like 3502 02:05:25,270 --> 02:05:23,040 the the ring of 3503 02:05:26,149 --> 02:05:25,280 brogdar which stands on the land where 3504 02:05:28,709 --> 02:05:26,159 the 3505 02:05:30,470 --> 02:05:28,719 stens and hairy locks meet uh viewed 3506 02:05:32,229 --> 02:05:30,480 from an aerial perspective the expanse 3507 02:05:34,390 --> 02:05:32,239 of land gives the impression of an 3508 02:05:36,470 --> 02:05:34,400 extended forearm whose finger points 3509 02:05:38,470 --> 02:05:36,480 directly to the circle formed by the 3510 02:05:40,390 --> 02:05:38,480 standing stones of stens 3511 02:05:43,270 --> 02:05:40,400 it's arguable that one function of the 3512 02:05:44,870 --> 02:05:43,280 stone circle was to measure time and 3513 02:05:47,350 --> 02:05:44,880 that the sequence of megalithic sites 3514 02:05:49,270 --> 02:05:47,360 was to give visibility and measure to 3515 02:05:51,589 --> 02:05:49,280 the formative stages of matter 3516 02:05:54,790 --> 02:05:51,599 so is 3517 02:05:56,470 --> 02:05:54,800 this type of methodology to 3518 02:05:59,270 --> 02:05:56,480 align and raise structures that's been 3519 02:06:02,470 --> 02:05:59,280 used for thousands of years 3520 02:06:05,430 --> 02:06:02,480 is it also intended to be a type of 3521 02:06:08,470 --> 02:06:05,440 metaphor for this type of form you know 3522 02:06:10,870 --> 02:06:08,480 matter being formed from nothing or 3523 02:06:11,830 --> 02:06:10,880 you know coming out of the ether 3524 02:06:15,030 --> 02:06:11,840 yeah 3525 02:06:19,030 --> 02:06:15,040 the the series the sequence of of shapes 3526 02:06:21,109 --> 02:06:19,040 is explicitly a representation of 3527 02:06:23,990 --> 02:06:21,119 the initial stages of matter 3528 02:06:28,390 --> 02:06:26,070 the stages of matter that happen between 3529 02:06:30,709 --> 02:06:28,400 the time a wave is perceived 3530 02:06:32,870 --> 02:06:30,719 and the time that the first structure of 3531 02:06:34,790 --> 02:06:32,880 matter the spiral of matter that really 3532 02:06:36,950 --> 02:06:34,800 corresponds to a caliber yaw space and 3533 02:06:39,830 --> 02:06:36,960 string theory gets formed and the 3534 02:06:41,669 --> 02:06:39,840 process is really comparable um 3535 02:06:43,589 --> 02:06:41,679 to 3536 02:06:45,510 --> 02:06:43,599 blowing a bubble with a bubble wand if 3537 02:06:47,109 --> 02:06:45,520 you've ever done that you dip the wand 3538 02:06:49,750 --> 02:06:47,119 in the bubble fluid and you start to 3539 02:06:52,149 --> 02:06:49,760 blow bubbles the first couple of bubbles 3540 02:06:53,669 --> 02:06:52,159 don't have enough tensile strength to be 3541 02:06:55,350 --> 02:06:53,679 able to hold their own weight so they 3542 02:06:56,709 --> 02:06:55,360 pop the collapse 3543 02:06:59,669 --> 02:06:56,719 well that's what happens with matter 3544 02:07:01,830 --> 02:06:59,679 also and that until you get to the 3545 02:07:03,830 --> 02:07:01,840 seventh bubble 3546 02:07:05,430 --> 02:07:03,840 the bubble doesn't have enough tensile 3547 02:07:07,910 --> 02:07:05,440 strength for the mass that's being 3548 02:07:10,550 --> 02:07:07,920 formed to be able to hold its shape 3549 02:07:13,589 --> 02:07:10,560 that seventh bubble um 3550 02:07:15,990 --> 02:07:13,599 then uh eventually uh grows to a point 3551 02:07:19,669 --> 02:07:16,000 where it also bursts 3552 02:07:22,790 --> 02:07:20,470 the 3553 02:07:24,390 --> 02:07:22,800 dogan concept of of this spiral shape 3554 02:07:27,109 --> 02:07:24,400 represents it in a number of different 3555 02:07:29,109 --> 02:07:27,119 ways it can be represented as 3556 02:07:31,589 --> 02:07:29,119 seven rays of the star 3557 02:07:33,589 --> 02:07:31,599 of increasing length if you had a point 3558 02:07:35,669 --> 02:07:33,599 a dot in the middle like that stick that 3559 02:07:36,870 --> 02:07:35,679 you stuck in the field and you measured 3560 02:07:38,470 --> 02:07:36,880 out 3561 02:07:40,950 --> 02:07:38,480 seven rays 3562 02:07:43,270 --> 02:07:40,960 coming out of that stick of increasing 3563 02:07:45,030 --> 02:07:43,280 length as you went around in a circle 3564 02:07:47,189 --> 02:07:45,040 you could then draw a spiral around the 3565 02:07:48,550 --> 02:07:47,199 endpoints of those rays and you get the 3566 02:07:51,109 --> 02:07:48,560 spiral shape 3567 02:07:53,910 --> 02:07:51,119 but without the doing without doing that 3568 02:07:55,830 --> 02:07:53,920 drawing you have the the original point 3569 02:07:57,030 --> 02:07:55,840 and the rays of the star that are 3570 02:07:59,669 --> 02:07:57,040 basically 3571 02:08:00,870 --> 02:07:59,679 radius radiuses of an expanding um 3572 02:08:03,430 --> 02:08:00,880 circle 3573 02:08:04,470 --> 02:08:03,440 it basically creates a helical 3574 02:08:06,149 --> 02:08:04,480 form 3575 02:08:08,790 --> 02:08:06,159 now the last time you're on this program 3576 02:08:10,229 --> 02:08:08,800 i know we went um alex and i we had 3577 02:08:12,470 --> 02:08:10,239 prepped for 3578 02:08:14,709 --> 02:08:12,480 a very long time leading up to it i 3579 02:08:15,750 --> 02:08:14,719 think it was like one of our first 12 3580 02:08:16,629 --> 02:08:15,760 episodes 3581 02:08:17,750 --> 02:08:16,639 and 3582 02:08:19,830 --> 02:08:17,760 uh 3583 02:08:21,270 --> 02:08:19,840 we had talked so much 3584 02:08:23,109 --> 02:08:21,280 and gone so deep into the subjects that 3585 02:08:25,910 --> 02:08:23,119 we started going into not only the the 3586 02:08:27,589 --> 02:08:25,920 book that you uh that is coming up 3587 02:08:29,669 --> 02:08:27,599 but the book after that 3588 02:08:30,870 --> 02:08:29,679 and you couldn't talk about any of it 3589 02:08:31,669 --> 02:08:30,880 at the time 3590 02:08:35,430 --> 02:08:31,679 um 3591 02:08:38,149 --> 02:08:35,440 convince the publisher 3592 02:08:42,069 --> 02:08:40,310 not the dogan book so i mean the not the 3593 02:08:44,390 --> 02:08:42,079 howard book so much but the one beyond 3594 02:08:46,390 --> 02:08:44,400 it because it's the one that starts 3595 02:08:48,149 --> 02:08:46,400 talking about these fundamental 3596 02:08:51,109 --> 02:08:48,159 structures of matter that 3597 02:08:51,910 --> 02:08:51,119 the scientists aren't discussing 3598 02:08:53,750 --> 02:08:51,920 um 3599 02:08:56,629 --> 02:08:53,760 as it stands right now 3600 02:08:58,550 --> 02:08:56,639 my problem is i can 3601 02:09:00,149 --> 02:08:58,560 wait behind the book that's being 3602 02:09:01,350 --> 02:09:00,159 published right now to get the next one 3603 02:09:03,669 --> 02:09:01,360 published which looks like it's going to 3604 02:09:05,109 --> 02:09:03,679 be a two-year process 3605 02:09:07,430 --> 02:09:05,119 take it to get the one i'd like to get 3606 02:09:08,310 --> 02:09:07,440 to and be able to talk about publish 3607 02:09:11,270 --> 02:09:08,320 or 3608 02:09:13,030 --> 02:09:11,280 i can say screw it and self-publish it 3609 02:09:14,470 --> 02:09:13,040 which i don't really want to do i have a 3610 02:09:16,390 --> 02:09:14,480 good relationship with the publisher i 3611 02:09:19,189 --> 02:09:16,400 like working with the people i don't 3612 02:09:20,709 --> 02:09:19,199 really want to um 3613 02:09:21,669 --> 02:09:20,719 branch out away from them if i don't 3614 02:09:23,510 --> 02:09:21,679 have to 3615 02:09:24,950 --> 02:09:23,520 but i also haven't been able to convince 3616 02:09:26,470 --> 02:09:24,960 them yet that they need to publish this 3617 02:09:29,510 --> 02:09:26,480 material that it's 3618 02:09:31,270 --> 02:09:29,520 urgent material and um even i even 3619 02:09:32,709 --> 02:09:31,280 invited tried to get myself invited over 3620 02:09:34,470 --> 02:09:32,719 to where they work 3621 02:09:35,510 --> 02:09:34,480 to make a presentation to them about 3622 02:09:37,030 --> 02:09:35,520 that book 3623 02:09:38,149 --> 02:09:37,040 to convince them 3624 02:09:39,830 --> 02:09:38,159 that 3625 02:09:41,589 --> 02:09:39,840 this is something they really need to 3626 02:09:43,990 --> 02:09:41,599 put a priority on 3627 02:09:46,229 --> 02:09:44,000 and how does it relate to your your past 3628 02:09:50,709 --> 02:09:46,239 books 3629 02:09:52,390 --> 02:09:50,719 but 3630 02:09:55,270 --> 02:09:52,400 okay as i was doing the comparison 3631 02:09:57,430 --> 02:09:55,280 side-by-side comparisons of matter 3632 02:10:03,109 --> 02:09:57,440 that scientific mat structure of matter 3633 02:10:07,189 --> 02:10:05,830 there are these stages that stephen 3634 02:10:08,870 --> 02:10:07,199 hawking and brian green and people like 3635 02:10:10,149 --> 02:10:08,880 that don't talk about 3636 02:10:12,629 --> 02:10:10,159 but 3637 02:10:14,709 --> 02:10:12,639 they aren't emphasized outwardly enough 3638 02:10:16,790 --> 02:10:14,719 in the dogan tradition for me to to 3639 02:10:20,149 --> 02:10:16,800 realize that 3640 02:10:21,510 --> 02:10:20,159 that they needed to be considered 3641 02:10:24,310 --> 02:10:21,520 and so 3642 02:10:28,069 --> 02:10:26,069 it's hard to explain but about a year 3643 02:10:29,830 --> 02:10:28,079 and a half ago 3644 02:10:31,910 --> 02:10:29,840 a situation happened where it occurred 3645 02:10:34,470 --> 02:10:31,920 to me to ask a question 3646 02:10:37,589 --> 02:10:34,480 that no other researcher i had ever been 3647 02:10:38,310 --> 02:10:37,599 involved with had thought to ask 3648 02:10:40,310 --> 02:10:38,320 and 3649 02:10:42,950 --> 02:10:40,320 when i asked that question 3650 02:10:46,149 --> 02:10:42,960 it pointed out the fact that these 3651 02:10:48,149 --> 02:10:46,159 descending these very lowest structures 3652 02:10:50,229 --> 02:10:48,159 look like they're also scientific and 3653 02:10:52,470 --> 02:10:50,239 they have pertinence 3654 02:10:54,149 --> 02:10:52,480 to the whole process of how matter forms 3655 02:10:56,069 --> 02:10:54,159 and that there may be 3656 02:10:57,830 --> 02:10:56,079 scientific correlates to them if i can 3657 02:11:00,390 --> 02:10:57,840 find the right 3658 02:11:01,669 --> 02:11:00,400 astrophysicist's view of how things work 3659 02:11:03,350 --> 02:11:01,679 and so i did 3660 02:11:05,350 --> 02:11:03,360 based on all those assumptions i did 3661 02:11:06,870 --> 02:11:05,360 turn up a theory of 3662 02:11:09,510 --> 02:11:06,880 matter that 3663 02:11:11,510 --> 02:11:09,520 that begins with these same structures 3664 02:11:14,069 --> 02:11:11,520 that i couldn't explain 3665 02:11:15,750 --> 02:11:14,079 and that led into this entire book that 3666 02:11:17,350 --> 02:11:15,760 gets down to 3667 02:11:22,470 --> 02:11:17,360 the real 3668 02:11:24,950 --> 02:11:22,480 how these two universes interact with 3669 02:11:26,390 --> 02:11:24,960 one another it gets down to the real 3670 02:11:28,709 --> 02:11:26,400 motivation 3671 02:11:31,510 --> 02:11:28,719 for even having this esoteric system the 3672 02:11:34,229 --> 02:11:31,520 real motivation for 3673 02:11:35,910 --> 02:11:34,239 why a teacher might cross over between 3674 02:11:38,870 --> 02:11:35,920 and not from the non-material side to 3675 02:11:40,470 --> 02:11:38,880 try to educate us and 3676 02:11:44,550 --> 02:11:40,480 verification from various religious 3677 02:11:48,709 --> 02:11:46,470 you're giving all at the 3678 02:11:49,910 --> 02:11:48,719 second book that's waiting behind the 3679 02:11:51,430 --> 02:11:49,920 maori book 3680 02:11:53,750 --> 02:11:51,440 you're giving us a very strong teaser 3681 02:11:55,270 --> 02:11:53,760 here and for two for two years away you 3682 02:11:56,870 --> 02:11:55,280 know there's always a possibility that 3683 02:11:58,709 --> 02:11:56,880 we may just you know hire some crack 3684 02:12:00,390 --> 02:11:58,719 writers and have them write something 3685 02:12:02,229 --> 02:12:00,400 that's completely off uh you know 3686 02:12:04,629 --> 02:12:02,239 completely off the rails and cut out a 3687 02:12:06,069 --> 02:12:04,639 few characters that are very popular 3688 02:12:07,589 --> 02:12:06,079 and you know cram everything down into 3689 02:12:09,270 --> 02:12:07,599 seven episodes 3690 02:12:11,030 --> 02:12:09,280 um so i'm just giving you a warning now 3691 02:12:12,310 --> 02:12:11,040 i really wanna this is the material that 3692 02:12:16,229 --> 02:12:12,320 i would really love to be able to talk 3693 02:12:18,229 --> 02:12:16,239 about in detail now the problem is 3694 02:12:21,109 --> 02:12:18,239 that it's unfair to talk about it and 3695 02:12:23,350 --> 02:12:21,119 not have a have source material that 3696 02:12:25,990 --> 02:12:23,360 listeners can go to and buy and and 3697 02:12:27,990 --> 02:12:26,000 learn about it and consider and and 3698 02:12:30,310 --> 02:12:28,000 think about 3699 02:12:31,109 --> 02:12:30,320 it's also unfair to talk about it now 3700 02:12:32,790 --> 02:12:31,119 and 3701 02:12:34,790 --> 02:12:32,800 undercut 3702 02:12:35,990 --> 02:12:34,800 the sales process for the publishing 3703 02:12:37,430 --> 02:12:36,000 company who 3704 02:12:40,229 --> 02:12:37,440 wants it to be new material when the new 3705 02:12:42,950 --> 02:12:41,189 and 3706 02:12:45,430 --> 02:12:42,960 so so it's sort of a conundrum i've 3707 02:12:46,830 --> 02:12:45,440 talked with my current editor about it 3708 02:12:49,510 --> 02:12:46,840 and she doesn't really have an answer 3709 02:12:50,950 --> 02:12:49,520 yet um 3710 02:12:52,950 --> 02:12:50,960 my goodness are you kidding me i'll do 3711 02:12:55,109 --> 02:12:52,960 my best to try to try to rush that book 3712 02:12:56,950 --> 02:12:55,119 to find a way to get it out sooner 3713 02:12:58,149 --> 02:12:56,960 rather than later because this is really 3714 02:12:59,750 --> 02:12:58,159 the heart of 3715 02:13:01,510 --> 02:12:59,760 where things go 3716 02:13:04,550 --> 02:13:01,520 well if if your publisher is listening 3717 02:13:06,069 --> 02:13:04,560 you need to release this book like 3718 02:13:08,629 --> 02:13:06,079 yesterday because 3719 02:13:10,629 --> 02:13:08,639 it's essentially you know it's the 3720 02:13:13,750 --> 02:13:10,639 answers to the questions that everyone 3721 02:13:16,709 --> 02:13:13,760 is wondering like you're talking about 3722 02:13:17,990 --> 02:13:16,719 the type of connection 3723 02:13:20,310 --> 02:13:18,000 between 3724 02:13:21,830 --> 02:13:20,320 two worlds that all of these different 3725 02:13:23,990 --> 02:13:21,840 researchers and all these different 3726 02:13:25,990 --> 02:13:24,000 people you know personalities 3727 02:13:27,669 --> 02:13:26,000 or gurus who are appearing at all these 3728 02:13:29,910 --> 02:13:27,679 different symposiums and you know 3729 02:13:31,189 --> 02:13:29,920 conferences all across north america and 3730 02:13:34,310 --> 02:13:31,199 the world 3731 02:13:36,950 --> 02:13:34,320 every single year have been discussing 3732 02:13:38,310 --> 02:13:36,960 but even from for myself and and in my 3733 02:13:40,149 --> 02:13:38,320 own researches and you know my own 3734 02:13:41,350 --> 02:13:40,159 meditations 3735 02:13:42,830 --> 02:13:41,360 know that they're a little bit off the 3736 02:13:46,149 --> 02:13:42,840 mark on things 3737 02:13:48,229 --> 02:13:46,159 um i i've got i have my own theories and 3738 02:13:49,669 --> 02:13:48,239 you know at least let me 3739 02:13:51,750 --> 02:13:49,679 do you mind if i at least put it out 3740 02:13:52,709 --> 02:13:51,760 there and if i'm 3741 02:13:54,470 --> 02:13:52,719 warm 3742 02:13:55,270 --> 02:13:54,480 cold or 3743 02:13:57,350 --> 02:13:55,280 you know 3744 02:14:00,470 --> 02:13:57,360 sub-antarctic let me know if is that 3745 02:14:01,350 --> 02:14:00,480 okay okay okay 3746 02:14:04,069 --> 02:14:01,360 okay 3747 02:14:05,750 --> 02:14:04,079 so essentially and this um 3748 02:14:07,990 --> 02:14:05,760 i think i was still in college when i 3749 02:14:09,830 --> 02:14:08,000 when i came up with it and i may have 3750 02:14:12,790 --> 02:14:09,840 been up for like four days working on 3751 02:14:14,310 --> 02:14:12,800 some finals and and some projects so uh 3752 02:14:15,910 --> 02:14:14,320 for anybody who's been to any 3753 02:14:17,270 --> 02:14:15,920 advertising program you know how tough 3754 02:14:19,030 --> 02:14:17,280 it can be 3755 02:14:20,069 --> 02:14:19,040 and you know i got to thinking about 3756 02:14:21,910 --> 02:14:20,079 stuff 3757 02:14:24,830 --> 02:14:21,920 and the 3758 02:14:26,870 --> 02:14:24,840 idea behind a lot of the esoteric 3759 02:14:28,629 --> 02:14:26,880 teachings at least from my 3760 02:14:30,470 --> 02:14:28,639 interpretation and a lot of the 3761 02:14:33,189 --> 02:14:30,480 symbolism that's used 3762 02:14:35,189 --> 02:14:33,199 is directly related to 3763 02:14:37,189 --> 02:14:35,199 understanding the world around you so 3764 02:14:38,390 --> 02:14:37,199 that you can understand how this 3765 02:14:40,550 --> 02:14:38,400 particular 3766 02:14:43,270 --> 02:14:40,560 universe that's based in the material 3767 02:14:46,149 --> 02:14:43,280 world was formed so then you can then 3768 02:14:47,189 --> 02:14:46,159 harness that energy from 3769 02:14:49,350 --> 02:14:47,199 that 3770 02:14:51,990 --> 02:14:49,360 i'm going to say ether which is talking 3771 02:14:53,589 --> 02:14:52,000 about that the the paired 3772 02:14:55,430 --> 02:14:53,599 non-material universe 3773 02:14:56,870 --> 02:14:55,440 to then manifest 3774 02:14:59,109 --> 02:14:56,880 uh any 3775 02:15:01,589 --> 02:14:59,119 you know anything that you could 3776 02:15:03,109 --> 02:15:01,599 potentially want or need 3777 02:15:04,310 --> 02:15:03,119 um as they say you know the universe 3778 02:15:06,790 --> 02:15:04,320 provides 3779 02:15:08,390 --> 02:15:06,800 that that's um kind of a a trope that is 3780 02:15:10,310 --> 02:15:08,400 thrown around you know very often for 3781 02:15:11,589 --> 02:15:10,320 those who are 3782 02:15:13,589 --> 02:15:11,599 looking for something or in need of 3783 02:15:15,830 --> 02:15:13,599 something and they think positively and 3784 02:15:17,990 --> 02:15:15,840 it just appears type of thing 3785 02:15:19,109 --> 02:15:18,000 but with freemasonry we tend to use a 3786 02:15:21,589 --> 02:15:19,119 lot of 3787 02:15:23,990 --> 02:15:21,599 actions and symbols and a certain way of 3788 02:15:25,669 --> 02:15:24,000 conducting ourselves to try and gain the 3789 02:15:28,470 --> 02:15:25,679 best benefit and it's not just a law of 3790 02:15:29,830 --> 02:15:28,480 attraction it's a matter of trying to 3791 02:15:30,709 --> 02:15:29,840 influence 3792 02:15:32,550 --> 02:15:30,719 the 3793 02:15:35,589 --> 02:15:32,560 universe or our own universe around us 3794 02:15:37,910 --> 02:15:35,599 to kind of emulate the way that our 3795 02:15:39,669 --> 02:15:37,920 universe was formed by this you know 3796 02:15:41,910 --> 02:15:39,679 whether it's a forward god or a fourth 3797 02:15:44,310 --> 02:15:41,920 dimensional intelligence so we can kind 3798 02:15:46,629 --> 02:15:44,320 of mimic that same action from bringing 3799 02:15:47,589 --> 02:15:46,639 chaos into order in our own little 3800 02:15:49,830 --> 02:15:47,599 worlds 3801 02:15:50,870 --> 02:15:49,840 and because of this and because it's so 3802 02:15:53,589 --> 02:15:50,880 powerful 3803 02:15:55,350 --> 02:15:53,599 um this type of knowledge was 3804 02:15:57,270 --> 02:15:55,360 uh taught only to 3805 02:15:59,669 --> 02:15:57,280 you know any and any uh ancient 3806 02:16:01,350 --> 02:15:59,679 civilization that had uh mystery schools 3807 02:16:04,709 --> 02:16:01,360 egypt being for one 3808 02:16:06,709 --> 02:16:04,719 this knowledge was given only to the 3809 02:16:08,310 --> 02:16:06,719 you know those within the priesthood who 3810 02:16:10,229 --> 02:16:08,320 were very high up within the kingdom's 3811 02:16:12,550 --> 02:16:10,239 establishment as well as the the you 3812 02:16:15,350 --> 02:16:12,560 know the kings themselves specifically 3813 02:16:17,109 --> 02:16:15,360 so that they could then rule the kingdom 3814 02:16:18,709 --> 02:16:17,119 properly having a set of rules a set of 3815 02:16:20,790 --> 02:16:18,719 morals that they could you know harness 3816 02:16:22,310 --> 02:16:20,800 that for the benefit of everyone else 3817 02:16:27,270 --> 02:16:22,320 and not just for their own 3818 02:16:31,669 --> 02:16:30,149 how how far off am i 3819 02:16:33,349 --> 02:16:31,679 well i don't disagree with anything 3820 02:16:35,349 --> 02:16:33,359 you've said 3821 02:16:38,070 --> 02:16:35,359 um 3822 02:16:41,990 --> 02:16:38,080 to sort of put you in the mindset 3823 02:16:43,830 --> 02:16:42,000 of how the dogan are thinking about it 3824 02:16:45,910 --> 02:16:43,840 um 3825 02:16:47,349 --> 02:16:45,920 there are two stated intentions for what 3826 02:16:49,830 --> 02:16:47,359 they're trying to accomplish with an 3827 02:16:51,110 --> 02:16:49,840 initiate other than 3828 02:16:53,669 --> 02:16:51,120 basically teaching 3829 02:16:56,150 --> 02:16:53,679 agriculture and as a process of that 3830 02:16:58,950 --> 02:16:56,160 giving them this science tag to it but 3831 02:17:00,389 --> 02:16:58,960 the the larger motives 3832 02:17:01,990 --> 02:17:00,399 are stated as being 3833 02:17:04,950 --> 02:17:02,000 first of all 3834 02:17:08,150 --> 02:17:04,960 to help us understand our true 3835 02:17:09,190 --> 02:17:08,160 relationship to the larger processes of 3836 02:17:12,150 --> 02:17:09,200 creation 3837 02:17:13,030 --> 02:17:12,160 because i think that the idea was that 3838 02:17:14,950 --> 02:17:13,040 if we 3839 02:17:16,549 --> 02:17:14,960 really understood the modern view of 3840 02:17:17,270 --> 02:17:16,559 humanity is 3841 02:17:19,509 --> 02:17:17,280 that 3842 02:17:21,669 --> 02:17:19,519 human society is the culmination of 3843 02:17:22,790 --> 02:17:21,679 processes of creation that this we're 3844 02:17:24,309 --> 02:17:22,800 the end 3845 02:17:26,830 --> 02:17:24,319 and all and be all of where this is 3846 02:17:29,110 --> 02:17:26,840 headed it's us boys we're the 3847 02:17:30,950 --> 02:17:29,120 top they're saying 3848 02:17:32,629 --> 02:17:30,960 no we're not the top we're just another 3849 02:17:35,349 --> 02:17:32,639 step along the ladder here and what part 3850 02:17:37,190 --> 02:17:35,359 of what they're trying to do is 3851 02:17:38,150 --> 02:17:37,200 help us to see that and understand it 3852 02:17:40,070 --> 02:17:38,160 because 3853 02:17:43,589 --> 02:17:40,080 understanding it will change the way 3854 02:17:45,509 --> 02:17:43,599 that we make choices about things 3855 02:17:46,309 --> 02:17:45,519 the second motive 3856 02:17:48,629 --> 02:17:46,319 second thing they're trying to 3857 02:17:49,669 --> 02:17:48,639 accomplish with the initiates 3858 02:17:51,349 --> 02:17:49,679 is 3859 02:17:54,549 --> 02:17:51,359 to help them develop something called 3860 02:17:59,030 --> 02:17:54,559 discriminating knowledge 3861 02:18:01,110 --> 02:17:59,040 essentially the ability to make an 3862 02:18:04,230 --> 02:18:01,120 inference 3863 02:18:07,589 --> 02:18:04,240 to be able to take a set of facts 3864 02:18:12,230 --> 02:18:09,830 move beyond that in sort of a it's sort 3865 02:18:13,669 --> 02:18:12,240 of a light speed an inference is sort of 3866 02:18:15,910 --> 02:18:13,679 electric jump 3867 02:18:17,110 --> 02:18:15,920 uh from fact 3868 02:18:21,190 --> 02:18:17,120 that 3869 02:18:23,429 --> 02:18:21,200 buddhist systems match each other the 3870 02:18:25,669 --> 02:18:23,439 inference is that when they say it was a 3871 02:18:27,190 --> 02:18:25,679 non-human source we have cause to 3872 02:18:30,150 --> 02:18:27,200 believe them 3873 02:18:34,070 --> 02:18:30,160 the inference is hugely more powerful 3874 02:18:38,309 --> 02:18:35,349 discriminating knowledge is where 3875 02:18:39,910 --> 02:18:38,319 they're trying to get us at which is why 3876 02:18:41,990 --> 02:18:39,920 later traditions 3877 02:18:45,270 --> 02:18:42,000 that are centered on concepts of letting 3878 02:18:49,349 --> 02:18:47,349 are completely out of line with what the 3879 02:18:52,070 --> 02:18:49,359 original intention is as i understand it 3880 02:18:54,469 --> 02:18:52,080 because you can't possibly develop 3881 02:18:56,230 --> 02:18:54,479 discriminating knowledge without also 3882 02:18:58,070 --> 02:18:56,240 developing a sense of your own 3883 02:19:00,150 --> 02:18:58,080 importance or a sense of your own 3884 02:19:02,549 --> 02:19:00,160 ability 3885 02:19:04,070 --> 02:19:02,559 ego letting go of ego 3886 02:19:07,669 --> 02:19:04,080 surrendering the ego and basically 3887 02:19:11,349 --> 02:19:09,429 essentially removing yourself from the 3888 02:19:14,150 --> 02:19:11,359 equation 3889 02:19:15,509 --> 02:19:14,160 takes you the opposite direction of what 3890 02:19:18,070 --> 02:19:15,519 the dogan say the purpose of this 3891 02:19:20,790 --> 02:19:18,080 instruction was 3892 02:19:23,910 --> 02:19:20,800 which would be very similar to masonic 3893 02:19:24,870 --> 02:19:23,920 teachings which is to find a due balance 3894 02:19:26,070 --> 02:19:24,880 between 3895 02:19:27,669 --> 02:19:26,080 you know 3896 02:19:30,309 --> 02:19:27,679 several different factors like not to be 3897 02:19:32,230 --> 02:19:30,319 completely intemperate but also not to 3898 02:19:34,309 --> 02:19:32,240 be you know uh um 3899 02:19:36,549 --> 02:19:34,319 well and not not to be the way i can be 3900 02:19:39,349 --> 02:19:36,559 on this show after after several several 3901 02:19:40,150 --> 02:19:39,359 drams of scotch on a on a bat on a good 3902 02:19:42,230 --> 02:19:40,160 night 3903 02:19:44,150 --> 02:19:42,240 uh right but to kind of keep that that 3904 02:19:46,389 --> 02:19:44,160 that middle path as it were so you you 3905 02:19:49,030 --> 02:19:46,399 can have a little bit of everything 3906 02:19:50,870 --> 02:19:49,040 it's it i could be off on that but it's 3907 02:19:51,830 --> 02:19:50,880 very interesting it's a very interesting 3908 02:19:52,870 --> 02:19:51,840 concept 3909 02:19:55,510 --> 02:19:52,880 um 3910 02:19:57,030 --> 02:19:55,520 now it looks as if the esoteric 3911 02:19:59,429 --> 02:19:57,040 tradition was there to keep things 3912 02:20:01,190 --> 02:19:59,439 secret to keep important information 3913 02:20:02,389 --> 02:20:01,200 secret 3914 02:20:05,429 --> 02:20:02,399 um 3915 02:20:07,190 --> 02:20:05,439 but i've come to understand 3916 02:20:08,790 --> 02:20:07,200 that one of the key purposes of the way 3917 02:20:10,309 --> 02:20:08,800 it was structured 3918 02:20:11,830 --> 02:20:10,319 was 3919 02:20:13,910 --> 02:20:11,840 to 3920 02:20:15,590 --> 02:20:13,920 selectively filter 3921 02:20:18,309 --> 02:20:15,600 sincere people 3922 02:20:19,990 --> 02:20:18,319 from insincere ones it's a sieve 3923 02:20:21,510 --> 02:20:20,000 it's separating the instance here from 3924 02:20:24,070 --> 02:20:21,520 the sincere 3925 02:20:26,630 --> 02:20:24,080 and the underlying motive for doing that 3926 02:20:33,030 --> 02:20:31,190 a compelling and urgent requirement for 3927 02:20:34,230 --> 02:20:33,040 a sincere 3928 02:20:39,110 --> 02:20:34,240 um 3929 02:20:39,120 --> 02:20:42,230 i want to say 3930 02:20:46,469 --> 02:20:44,630 not so much partner as a 3931 02:20:49,030 --> 02:20:46,479 a companion 3932 02:20:51,590 --> 02:20:49,040 i would say it's a 3933 02:20:56,870 --> 02:20:54,950 urgent requirement for a sincere partner 3934 02:21:00,309 --> 02:20:56,880 that can be counted on to do 3935 02:21:03,910 --> 02:21:01,590 and 3936 02:21:06,309 --> 02:21:03,920 get that so urgent that it can only be 3937 02:21:08,790 --> 02:21:06,319 trusted to somebody who is truly sincere 3938 02:21:11,349 --> 02:21:08,800 the same kind of urgency as leaving your 3939 02:21:13,270 --> 02:21:11,359 child with a babysitter that 3940 02:21:14,950 --> 02:21:13,280 a discriminating parent understands that 3941 02:21:17,270 --> 02:21:14,960 you can't just leave your child with any 3942 02:21:19,990 --> 02:21:17,280 old person you need to find a person 3943 02:21:22,790 --> 02:21:20,000 that you have confidence in 3944 02:21:23,750 --> 02:21:22,800 is capable and has some judgment 3945 02:21:25,030 --> 02:21:23,760 and 3946 02:21:27,830 --> 02:21:25,040 um 3947 02:21:28,710 --> 02:21:27,840 is not impulsive 3948 02:21:30,790 --> 02:21:28,720 and 3949 02:21:32,790 --> 02:21:30,800 um that has some skills dealing with 3950 02:21:33,990 --> 02:21:32,800 children 3951 02:21:36,389 --> 02:21:34,000 that's a very 3952 02:21:38,630 --> 02:21:36,399 specific set of qualities to try to find 3953 02:21:40,389 --> 02:21:38,640 in a babysitter well the esoteric 3954 02:21:41,830 --> 02:21:40,399 tradition is doing essentially the same 3955 02:21:45,270 --> 02:21:41,840 thing it is 3956 02:21:50,550 --> 02:21:45,280 trying to selectively filter out 3957 02:21:54,070 --> 02:21:51,590 and that 3958 02:21:56,230 --> 02:21:54,080 when you get down to the reasons for why 3959 02:21:58,469 --> 02:21:56,240 that's necessary you get down to the 3960 02:21:59,830 --> 02:21:58,479 underlying motives that are going on in 3961 02:22:04,230 --> 02:21:59,840 the whole system 3962 02:22:05,670 --> 02:22:04,240 and it ends up being a lot more 3963 02:22:07,990 --> 02:22:05,680 of a human 3964 02:22:08,950 --> 02:22:08,000 humanly understanded understandable 3965 02:22:10,950 --> 02:22:08,960 motive 3966 02:22:12,469 --> 02:22:10,960 than any religion i've ever heard tries 3967 02:22:14,469 --> 02:22:12,479 to frame it 3968 02:22:16,469 --> 02:22:14,479 holy [\h__\h] 3969 02:22:18,630 --> 02:22:16,479 sorry sorry you just gave me kind of a 3970 02:22:20,070 --> 02:22:18,640 kind of an epiphany moment 3971 02:22:21,349 --> 02:22:20,080 and 3972 02:22:23,030 --> 02:22:21,359 uh 3973 02:22:27,190 --> 02:22:23,040 let's let's say is that i un 3974 02:22:29,110 --> 02:22:27,200 i have a a fairly good understanding 3975 02:22:31,270 --> 02:22:29,120 of why that could be and again not 3976 02:22:32,790 --> 02:22:31,280 giving away too much as you you know not 3977 02:22:33,990 --> 02:22:32,800 knowing how how deep you want to go into 3978 02:22:35,110 --> 02:22:34,000 it and that would probably spoil the 3979 02:22:37,830 --> 02:22:35,120 whole thing 3980 02:22:39,110 --> 02:22:37,840 um yeah i i actually understand where 3981 02:22:40,469 --> 02:22:39,120 that's coming from 3982 02:22:42,469 --> 02:22:40,479 um 3983 02:22:44,150 --> 02:22:42,479 and i'll i'll say this much like 3984 02:22:45,590 --> 02:22:44,160 freemasonry it's a fraternity and the 3985 02:22:48,230 --> 02:22:45,600 whole idea of 3986 02:22:50,309 --> 02:22:48,240 brotherhood and trust within your 3987 02:22:52,070 --> 02:22:50,319 brother and the fact that you know we we 3988 02:22:53,990 --> 02:22:52,080 say like you give your hands 3989 02:22:55,990 --> 02:22:54,000 uh you know giving your hand to a mason 3990 02:22:57,190 --> 02:22:56,000 is like if you are mason is like giving 3991 02:22:58,870 --> 02:22:57,200 you know you're giving a hand as a 3992 02:23:02,389 --> 02:22:58,880 brother faithfully 3993 02:23:04,469 --> 02:23:02,399 um and we only like we can't 3994 02:23:06,710 --> 02:23:04,479 tell people to like you know advertise 3995 02:23:10,309 --> 02:23:06,720 and say hey you know join masonry we can 3996 02:23:11,429 --> 02:23:10,319 only at most say if we can find the 3997 02:23:12,950 --> 02:23:11,439 certain 3998 02:23:14,630 --> 02:23:12,960 um 3999 02:23:18,550 --> 02:23:14,640 you know qualities of what a freemason 4000 02:23:19,510 --> 02:23:18,560 is we can only suggest that they 4001 02:23:21,030 --> 02:23:19,520 feel like you would make a good 4002 02:23:23,590 --> 02:23:21,040 freemason that's the furthest we can go 4003 02:23:25,750 --> 02:23:23,600 as far as actual advertisement and in 4004 02:23:27,110 --> 02:23:25,760 one of our lectures uh i think it's 4005 02:23:29,910 --> 02:23:27,120 actually during the the installation 4006 02:23:31,670 --> 02:23:29,920 ceremony uh the the last lecture of the 4007 02:23:32,790 --> 02:23:31,680 night is given by usually you know a 4008 02:23:35,349 --> 02:23:32,800 very 4009 02:23:37,429 --> 02:23:35,359 experienced brother and 4010 02:23:39,349 --> 02:23:37,439 it's it's about 15 minutes long all done 4011 02:23:41,910 --> 02:23:39,359 by memory and it essentially lists the 4012 02:23:43,750 --> 02:23:41,920 qualities of a true freemason and what 4013 02:23:45,349 --> 02:23:43,760 you would know to be able to find one 4014 02:23:47,990 --> 02:23:45,359 the interesting part is is that 4015 02:23:50,469 --> 02:23:48,000 freemasonry 4016 02:23:52,870 --> 02:23:50,479 anybody who's a freemason the theme is 4017 02:23:54,710 --> 02:23:52,880 that we are first made masons like you 4018 02:23:56,150 --> 02:23:54,720 know like we're initiated in a lodge 4019 02:23:58,309 --> 02:23:56,160 room we are 4020 02:23:59,429 --> 02:23:58,319 uh you know we take an oath on on a holy 4021 02:24:01,190 --> 02:23:59,439 book whether it's the bible et cetera et 4022 02:24:02,870 --> 02:24:01,200 cetera 4023 02:24:04,150 --> 02:24:02,880 but we always say we're first made 4024 02:24:05,670 --> 02:24:04,160 masons in our heart which means it's 4025 02:24:09,030 --> 02:24:05,680 something inherent within us as 4026 02:24:10,950 --> 02:24:09,040 individuals to seek out that information 4027 02:24:11,910 --> 02:24:10,960 and to seek out that that light that 4028 02:24:12,870 --> 02:24:11,920 knowledge 4029 02:24:14,950 --> 02:24:12,880 and 4030 02:24:16,950 --> 02:24:14,960 from the way that you described kind of 4031 02:24:19,030 --> 02:24:16,960 opened up 4032 02:24:20,710 --> 02:24:19,040 a hell of a lot of doors in terms of my 4033 02:24:23,429 --> 02:24:20,720 understanding of 4034 02:24:24,710 --> 02:24:23,439 what the system is from your perspective 4035 02:24:26,230 --> 02:24:24,720 and 4036 02:24:28,870 --> 02:24:26,240 it's 4037 02:24:32,230 --> 02:24:28,880 i'm going to say if your publishers 4038 02:24:36,790 --> 02:24:32,240 don't publish this book then they either 4039 02:24:39,750 --> 02:24:37,910 well 4040 02:24:41,670 --> 02:24:39,760 as i said i'll probably make one more 4041 02:24:43,429 --> 02:24:41,680 stab at trying to get them to agree to 4042 02:24:45,750 --> 02:24:43,439 let me come over and make a presentation 4043 02:24:48,710 --> 02:24:45,760 to them about the material in the book 4044 02:24:51,190 --> 02:24:48,720 um the information the way of getting to 4045 02:24:53,990 --> 02:24:51,200 the material is complex enough 4046 02:24:54,710 --> 02:24:54,000 that i felt like i had to create sort of 4047 02:25:27,429 --> 02:24:54,720 a 4048 02:25:29,750 --> 02:25:27,439 but 4049 02:25:31,990 --> 02:25:29,760 it requires him to take at least a step 4050 02:25:33,910 --> 02:25:32,000 outside of his comfort zone in order to 4051 02:25:35,590 --> 02:25:33,920 get it 4052 02:25:37,270 --> 02:25:35,600 i know there's a 4053 02:25:40,630 --> 02:25:37,280 islamic tradition called the bridge of 4054 02:25:42,150 --> 02:25:40,640 syrah the idea uh years ago john anthony 4055 02:25:43,190 --> 02:25:42,160 west actually sent me an email he said 4056 02:25:45,110 --> 02:25:43,200 you know there's a name for what you're 4057 02:25:48,389 --> 02:25:45,120 doing it comes out of islam it's called 4058 02:25:50,150 --> 02:25:48,399 the bridge of syrah and schwaller lupitz 4059 02:25:52,469 --> 02:25:50,160 wrote a chapter about it in one of his 4060 02:25:54,309 --> 02:25:52,479 books sacrificing sacred science 4061 02:25:56,710 --> 02:25:54,319 um the idea is 4062 02:25:59,750 --> 02:25:56,720 that the truth will be found ultimately 4063 02:26:02,230 --> 02:25:59,760 to lie on a razor's edge between 4064 02:26:04,710 --> 02:26:02,240 two chasms one that represents science 4065 02:26:07,030 --> 02:26:04,720 and one that represents superstition 4066 02:26:08,389 --> 02:26:07,040 and the upshot of it is that it doesn't 4067 02:26:10,070 --> 02:26:08,399 matter what perspective you're coming 4068 02:26:11,510 --> 02:26:10,080 out of this material from 4069 02:26:13,190 --> 02:26:11,520 chances are you're gonna have to take a 4070 02:26:15,750 --> 02:26:13,200 step outside of your comfort zone to be 4071 02:26:18,710 --> 02:26:15,760 able to get out what's really true 4072 02:26:19,510 --> 02:26:18,720 now i've got uh um people in the chat 4073 02:26:21,190 --> 02:26:19,520 room 4074 02:26:23,110 --> 02:26:21,200 who are 4075 02:26:24,469 --> 02:26:23,120 asking for the publisher's contact 4076 02:26:27,750 --> 02:26:24,479 information so that they can write and 4077 02:26:31,349 --> 02:26:29,590 okay well i'm working for inner 4078 02:26:36,950 --> 02:26:31,359 traditions 4079 02:26:41,830 --> 02:26:38,710 contact tab there or you could write to 4080 02:26:43,590 --> 02:26:41,840 publicity at innertraditions.com 4081 02:26:44,550 --> 02:26:43,600 and that would get to the woman who does 4082 02:26:46,070 --> 02:26:44,560 the 4083 02:26:49,990 --> 02:26:46,080 publicizing of 4084 02:26:53,270 --> 02:26:50,000 of the books um 4085 02:26:54,389 --> 02:26:53,280 and uh ibrahim ibrahim is uh just uh 4086 02:26:56,630 --> 02:26:54,399 chiming in 4087 02:26:58,630 --> 02:26:56,640 and he asked me to let you know that the 4088 02:27:01,110 --> 02:26:58,640 name of it is 4089 02:27:03,270 --> 02:27:01,120 i said am i am i um 4090 02:27:06,550 --> 02:27:03,280 pronouncing that correctly 4091 02:27:10,309 --> 02:27:08,710 it depends on the 4092 02:27:12,790 --> 02:27:10,319 on the tradition you're working from one 4093 02:27:15,110 --> 02:27:12,800 of the things the dogen have done for us 4094 02:27:17,110 --> 02:27:15,120 is they've done a good job 4095 02:27:19,270 --> 02:27:17,120 of preserving what i call the root 4096 02:27:21,270 --> 02:27:19,280 phonemes this is originally an oral 4097 02:27:23,670 --> 02:27:21,280 tradition and the meanings of words 4098 02:27:26,070 --> 02:27:23,680 depends on the phonetic values of the 4099 02:27:27,670 --> 02:27:26,080 words when i wrote the maori book by the 4100 02:27:28,950 --> 02:27:27,680 time i wrote it i know enough about how 4101 02:27:30,870 --> 02:27:28,960 phonetics work 4102 02:27:32,469 --> 02:27:30,880 that i could predict from the way that 4103 02:27:34,870 --> 02:27:32,479 maori pronounced their word what the 4104 02:27:36,230 --> 02:27:34,880 concept was going to be 4105 02:27:38,790 --> 02:27:36,240 so 4106 02:27:41,270 --> 02:27:38,800 i have a dogan perspective on 4107 02:27:44,469 --> 02:27:41,280 what the phonetic originally was i have 4108 02:27:46,070 --> 02:27:44,479 an egyptian perspective on how it might 4109 02:27:47,830 --> 02:27:46,080 have morphed a little bit each culture 4110 02:27:50,710 --> 02:27:47,840 has its own take on it and so there's 4111 02:27:51,510 --> 02:27:50,720 some wiggle room in pronunciations uh 4112 02:27:58,389 --> 02:27:51,520 there's 4113 02:28:00,950 --> 02:27:58,399 that can be pronounced two different 4114 02:28:01,990 --> 02:28:00,960 ways depending on the circumstance 4115 02:28:03,910 --> 02:28:02,000 and 4116 02:28:06,710 --> 02:28:03,920 if you twist this back far enough you 4117 02:28:08,150 --> 02:28:06,720 see that one of the pronunciations like 4118 02:28:12,230 --> 02:28:08,160 there are p's that can pronounce that 4119 02:28:14,550 --> 02:28:12,240 pronounced as an f for say or a complex 4120 02:28:15,910 --> 02:28:14,560 ch sound that might be pronounced like a 4121 02:28:19,750 --> 02:28:15,920 an h or like 4122 02:28:24,309 --> 02:28:22,389 if you act far enough you see that 4123 02:28:25,750 --> 02:28:24,319 certain of these pronunciations survived 4124 02:28:28,870 --> 02:28:25,760 in one culture and different 4125 02:28:30,950 --> 02:28:28,880 pronunciation in another culture and so 4126 02:28:33,750 --> 02:28:30,960 um it would be as if 4127 02:28:35,270 --> 02:28:33,760 uh banana were written with a k in one 4128 02:28:36,710 --> 02:28:35,280 culture and you didn't realize you 4129 02:28:39,590 --> 02:28:36,720 looked at the words that it was the same 4130 02:28:41,429 --> 02:28:39,600 word unless you happen to know the bees 4131 02:28:43,270 --> 02:28:41,439 could be a k 4132 02:28:45,670 --> 02:28:43,280 that's the way this works so that you 4133 02:28:49,830 --> 02:28:45,680 have a word for elephant in some 4134 02:28:51,110 --> 02:28:49,840 traditions that's pronounced peel or 4135 02:28:53,110 --> 02:28:51,120 pilu 4136 02:28:55,990 --> 02:28:53,120 but in other cultures it pronounced feel 4137 02:28:58,150 --> 02:28:56,000 or feel it or feeling 4138 02:29:00,070 --> 02:28:58,160 these are all the same word but unless 4139 02:29:01,750 --> 02:29:00,080 you have a perspective on the way that 4140 02:29:02,790 --> 02:29:01,760 the languages interface with each other 4141 02:29:04,469 --> 02:29:02,800 you don't 4142 02:29:07,270 --> 02:29:04,479 automatically understand it's the same 4143 02:29:12,070 --> 02:29:09,110 when you get to the root phonemes the 4144 02:29:14,870 --> 02:29:12,080 phoneme is sira for a reason 4145 02:29:17,590 --> 02:29:14,880 in islam it's given as s-i-r-a-h it's 4146 02:29:20,070 --> 02:29:17,600 interesting that um when john sent me 4147 02:29:21,270 --> 02:29:20,080 that email i wrote him back i to thank 4148 02:29:23,510 --> 02:29:21,280 him because 4149 02:29:25,750 --> 02:29:23,520 he didn't know it but when our daughter 4150 02:29:27,830 --> 02:29:25,760 hannah was a young girl 4151 02:29:29,830 --> 02:29:27,840 about three years old before she could 4152 02:29:32,230 --> 02:29:29,840 read or write but she knew some of her 4153 02:29:33,510 --> 02:29:32,240 letters but she's always tried to to be 4154 02:29:34,550 --> 02:29:33,520 an artist and actually pretty good 4155 02:29:37,110 --> 02:29:34,560 artist 4156 02:29:39,270 --> 02:29:37,120 she drew a picture of me 4157 02:29:41,670 --> 02:29:39,280 and what she said with me and it sort of 4158 02:29:43,990 --> 02:29:41,680 resembles me but at the top using the 4159 02:29:46,630 --> 02:29:44,000 letters that she did know she wrote what 4160 02:29:48,070 --> 02:29:46,640 she insisted was my name and i said 4161 02:29:50,070 --> 02:29:48,080 actually that's not my name and she said 4162 02:29:53,590 --> 02:29:50,080 no that's your name and what she'd 4163 02:29:55,190 --> 02:29:53,600 written was s-i-r-a-h 4164 02:29:56,870 --> 02:29:55,200 and i took a photocopier and said it to 4165 02:30:01,910 --> 02:29:56,880 john that's part of the thank you saying 4166 02:30:06,550 --> 02:30:04,790 part of the history of all this stuff is 4167 02:30:08,710 --> 02:30:06,560 the progression of books tend to play 4168 02:30:10,710 --> 02:30:08,720 out in relation to things that connect 4169 02:30:13,750 --> 02:30:10,720 to me i didn't know until after i wrote 4170 02:30:15,670 --> 02:30:13,760 the first book i had a very unusual 4171 02:30:16,870 --> 02:30:15,680 meeting with a 4172 02:30:18,389 --> 02:30:16,880 spiritual 4173 02:30:21,349 --> 02:30:18,399 guy um 4174 02:30:24,870 --> 02:30:21,359 how can i say advisor of of a person who 4175 02:30:27,030 -->

understanding a 4257 02:33:29,990 --> 02:33:28,479 piece of this that sort of lock them 4258 02:33:30,790 --> 02:33:30,000 into place in the way that they are and 4259 02:33:31,590 --> 02:33:30,800 so

02:34:03,110 --> 02:34:01,280 back to the dog and stuff 4276 02:34:04,469 --> 02:34:03,120 now i appreciate this the second 4277 02:34:05,990 --> 02:34:04,479 pronunciation 4278 02:34:08,070 --> 02:34:06,000 um 4279 02:34:10,950 --> 02:34:08,080 for my working purposes i have to have 4280 02:34:13,910 --> 02:34:10,960 to deal with it as um sierra 4281 02:34:15,750 --> 02:34:13,920 i had a physicist i was working with um 4282 02:34:18,790 --> 02:34:15,760 and i was talking with him about some 4283 02:34:19,750 --> 02:34:18,800 fundamental concepts of physics and 4284 02:34:21,910 --> 02:34:19,760 um 4285 02:34:24,150 --> 02:34:21,920 he wrote me back and he said you know 4286 02:34:25,830 --> 02:34:24,160 no credible physicist believes such and 4287 02:34:27,510 --> 02:34:25,840 such and such and such the things that i 4288 02:34:28,950 --> 02:34:27,520 was telling him 4289 02:34:31,270 --> 02:34:28,960 and i wrote him back and i said i 4290 02:34:34,469 --> 02:34:31,280 understand that 4291 02:34:36,710 --> 02:34:34,479 you realize that the position i'm in is 4292 02:34:39,510 --> 02:34:36,720 i need to faithfully follow where this 4293 02:34:40,870 --> 02:34:39,520 set of symbolic information leads 4294 02:34:44,230 --> 02:34:40,880 and 4295 02:34:45,830 --> 02:34:44,240 might lead me to a place that i can't 4296 02:34:47,349 --> 02:34:45,840 prove is right 4297 02:34:49,190 --> 02:34:47,359 and even understanding that it might 4298 02:34:51,990 --> 02:34:49,200 lead me to a place that flatly isn't 4299 02:34:53,670 --> 02:34:52,000 right i still have to pursue it 4300 02:34:54,870 --> 02:34:53,680 faithfully based on what they're telling 4301 02:34:56,230 --> 02:34:54,880 me 4302 02:34:58,550 --> 02:34:56,240 and so 4303 02:35:01,110 --> 02:34:58,560 i respect the answer back that that he 4304 02:35:02,790 --> 02:35:01,120 doesn't believe certain things 4305 02:35:05,110 --> 02:35:02,800 but i still have to 4306 02:35:07,270 --> 02:35:05,120 handle it as if it's the truth 4307 02:35:09,349 --> 02:35:07,280 have you looked into um 4308 02:35:10,870 --> 02:35:09,359 the connections to syrah wine also known 4309 02:35:13,510 --> 02:35:10,880 as shiraz 4310 02:35:15,630 --> 02:35:13,520 which is the kind of weird pronunciation 4311 02:35:19,429 --> 02:35:15,640 it's actually syrah which can be 4312 02:35:20,550 --> 02:35:19,439 s-i-r-a-h or s-y-r-a-h 4313 02:35:23,750 --> 02:35:20,560 right 4314 02:35:26,550 --> 02:35:23,760 connections but there's a chance there 4315 02:35:30,230 --> 02:35:26,560 is um depends on how bad how far back 4316 02:35:32,309 --> 02:35:30,240 the name goes um before 4317 02:35:34,790 --> 02:35:32,319 before written language 4318 02:35:36,790 --> 02:35:34,800 similarity of words implies a 4319 02:35:38,230 --> 02:35:36,800 relationship even 4320 02:35:39,510 --> 02:35:38,240 there's a book called priests of ancient 4321 02:35:41,030 --> 02:35:39,520 egypt by 4322 02:35:44,150 --> 02:35:41,040 a ser 4323 02:35:46,469 --> 02:35:44,160 sonoran who says that in all eras of 4324 02:35:49,110 --> 02:35:46,479 egyptian culture it was understood 4325 02:35:49,910 --> 02:35:49,120 by the priests the egyptian priests 4326 02:35:51,670 --> 02:35:49,920 that 4327 02:35:53,590 --> 02:35:51,680 any outward resemblance between two 4328 02:35:54,389 --> 02:35:53,600 words implied a relationship between 4329 02:35:55,190 --> 02:35:54,399 them 4330 02:35:59,830 --> 02:35:55,200 so 4331 02:36:01,190 --> 02:35:59,840 back far enough that's enough to tell me 4332 02:36:03,190 --> 02:36:01,200 there's likely a relationship to the 4333 02:36:04,150 --> 02:36:03,200 stuff i'm studying 4334 02:36:05,750 --> 02:36:04,160 you know that 4335 02:36:08,230 --> 02:36:05,760 this is one of the reasons why i love 4336 02:36:10,550 --> 02:36:08,240 this field because you know you you have 4337 02:36:11,429 --> 02:36:10,560 it's not just like with uh ufology which 4338 02:36:14,230 --> 02:36:11,439 is still 4339 02:36:16,309 --> 02:36:14,240 a very noble field but we're talking 70 4340 02:36:18,469 --> 02:36:16,319 years worth of research 4341 02:36:19,990 --> 02:36:18,479 uh with some cases depending on the 4342 02:36:22,710 --> 02:36:20,000 petroglyph you want to you know some 4343 02:36:25,349 --> 02:36:22,720 people want to try and and interpret 4344 02:36:27,429 --> 02:36:25,359 but we we have consistencies over 4345 02:36:29,190 --> 02:36:27,439 you know 12 thousand years of history if 4346 02:36:31,670 --> 02:36:29,200 not longer if you want to go to some of 4347 02:36:33,270 --> 02:36:31,680 the more ancient petroglyphs um 4348 02:36:36,389 --> 02:36:33,280 there's actually pertinent to some of 4349 02:36:37,270 --> 02:36:36,399 the stuff to the ufology stuff and uh 4350 02:36:39,270 --> 02:36:37,280 that's 4351 02:36:41,270 --> 02:36:39,280 uh facilitated the connection between me 4352 02:36:43,670 --> 02:36:41,280 and do you know who whitley strieber is 4353 02:36:45,030 --> 02:36:43,680 oh yeah i know who the stripper is 4354 02:36:46,469 --> 02:36:45,040 yeah he um 4355 02:36:47,830 --> 02:36:46,479 he's interviewed me a couple of times in 4356 02:36:49,990 --> 02:36:47,840 the last month 4357 02:36:51,830 --> 02:36:50,000 um 4358 02:36:53,670 --> 02:36:51,840 uh there's some very essential stuff 4359 02:36:55,110 --> 02:36:53,680 here that pertains to him i had been 4360 02:36:56,950 --> 02:36:55,120 trying to reach him for a period of time 4361 02:36:58,550 --> 02:36:56,960 and then he ended up reaching out to me 4362 02:36:59,830 --> 02:36:58,560 instead so 4363 02:37:01,510 --> 02:36:59,840 but there's overlap i've been i've 4364 02:37:03,429 --> 02:37:01,520 spoken to buffon groups and things like 4365 02:37:07,110 --> 02:37:03,439 that 4366 02:37:10,469 --> 02:37:07,120 and are are you able to to go into any 4367 02:37:12,950 --> 02:37:10,479 uh depth or shallowness uh regarding the 4368 02:37:14,950 --> 02:37:12,960 connections between go back to tepe and 4369 02:37:18,150 --> 02:37:14,960 what you found in uh 4370 02:37:19,750 --> 02:37:18,160 uh at easter island 4371 02:37:21,990 --> 02:37:19,760 um actually i haven't been to easter 4372 02:37:24,070 --> 02:37:22,000 island uh shock is the one who robert 4373 02:37:26,070 --> 02:37:24,080 chuck is the one whose focus has been on 4374 02:37:27,510 --> 02:37:26,080 easter island but 4375 02:37:29,110 --> 02:37:27,520 the maori book that i have at the 4376 02:37:31,030 --> 02:37:29,120 publisher right now 4377 02:37:33,510 --> 02:37:31,040 pretty much makes the connection to paul 4378 02:37:35,830 --> 02:37:33,520 nisha as a whole that the 4379 02:37:38,070 --> 02:37:35,840 dictionary i was working from that makes 4380 02:37:41,429 --> 02:37:38,080 all the connections is a comparative 4381 02:37:43,270 --> 02:37:41,439 maori polynesian dictionary all many of 4382 02:37:45,190 --> 02:37:43,280 the words are 4383 02:37:47,510 --> 02:37:45,200 the vast majority of words are the same 4384 02:37:49,910 --> 02:37:47,520 or very similar in all the polynesian 4385 02:37:51,910 --> 02:37:49,920 cultures so pretty much everything i'm 4386 02:37:54,870 --> 02:37:51,920 saying about the maori probably also 4387 02:37:56,150 --> 02:37:54,880 applies to any major polynesian ancient 4388 02:37:57,750 --> 02:37:56,160 culture 4389 02:37:59,990 --> 02:37:57,760 and i know that the last time we had 4390 02:38:02,070 --> 02:38:00,000 john michael greer on here he had 4391 02:38:04,230 --> 02:38:02,080 mentioned i think i actually uh facebook 4392 02:38:05,990 --> 02:38:04,240 messaged you during that show 4393 02:38:07,590 --> 02:38:06,000 to give you a heads up i was going to 4394 02:38:09,910 --> 02:38:07,600 send you this information 4395 02:38:12,469 --> 02:38:09,920 uh that apparently there is supposed to 4396 02:38:14,070 --> 02:38:12,479 be a correlation between the script 4397 02:38:16,950 --> 02:38:14,080 found at easter island and that found in 4398 02:38:20,870 --> 02:38:18,389 there might very well be i know that 4399 02:38:23,349 --> 02:38:20,880 their connections to the tamil 4400 02:38:25,590 --> 02:38:23,359 um in new zealand 4401 02:38:27,190 --> 02:38:25,600 and the tamil are one of the connecting 4402 02:38:29,190 --> 02:38:27,200 pieces between for me or one of the 4403 02:38:30,150 --> 02:38:29,200 connecting pieces between go back to 4404 02:38:32,630 --> 02:38:30,160 tepe 4405 02:38:34,870 --> 02:38:32,640 and the traditions in india the tamil 4406 02:38:37,670 --> 02:38:34,880 are some of the preservers of the shakti 4407 02:38:39,030 --> 02:38:37,680 cult that makes that connection um 4408 02:38:42,469 --> 02:38:39,040 that was actually a point of connection 4409 02:38:44,950 --> 02:38:42,479 for me and um santa hanka who is graham 4410 02:38:48,950 --> 02:38:44,960 hancock's lovely wife 4411 02:38:50,469 --> 02:38:48,960 um because her family is tamiya 4412 02:38:52,630 --> 02:38:50,479 and 4413 02:38:55,510 --> 02:38:52,640 what how how does this lead into history 4414 02:38:56,550 --> 02:38:55,520 uh of the the traditional histories of 4415 02:38:57,910 --> 02:38:56,560 uh 4416 02:39:00,550 --> 02:38:57,920 i always try and lead everything into 4417 02:39:01,750 --> 02:39:00,560 atlantis that's one of the reasons i i 4418 02:39:03,990 --> 02:39:01,760 started this show was like we have to 4419 02:39:05,590 --> 02:39:04,000 find atlantis that's one of our missions 4420 02:39:07,590 --> 02:39:05,600 um yeah 4421 02:39:09,190 --> 02:39:07,600 how does this lead into to that type of 4422 02:39:10,870 --> 02:39:09,200 mythological history you know some 4423 02:39:12,950 --> 02:39:10,880 people claim it was 4424 02:39:15,110 --> 02:39:12,960 a couple hundred bc they'll they'll lead 4425 02:39:16,309 --> 02:39:15,120 it to the fall of the 4426 02:39:17,910 --> 02:39:16,319 um 4427 02:39:20,389 --> 02:39:17,920 you know the fall of the mediterranean 4428 02:39:22,790 --> 02:39:20,399 cultures and then you'll have uh 4429 02:39:25,270 --> 02:39:22,800 researchers like randall carlson who 4430 02:39:27,030 --> 02:39:25,280 won't necessarily outright say this was 4431 02:39:29,429 --> 02:39:27,040 atlantis but he can give very good 4432 02:39:31,429 --> 02:39:29,439 rationales based on 4433 02:39:34,150 --> 02:39:31,439 ice age 4434 02:39:37,190 --> 02:39:34,160 pressures of ice sheets which can 4435 02:39:39,670 --> 02:39:37,200 push up parts of tectonic plates which 4436 02:39:40,950 --> 02:39:39,680 through ice city will uh create what 4437 02:39:43,830 --> 02:39:40,960 could have created 4438 02:39:45,030 --> 02:39:43,840 12 000 13 000 years ago or older uh you 4439 02:39:47,349 --> 02:39:45,040 know a chain of islands in the middle of 4440 02:39:49,670 --> 02:39:47,359 the atlantic for instance uh knowing 4441 02:39:53,270 --> 02:39:49,680 that the egyptians themselves you know 4442 02:39:55,750 --> 02:39:53,280 the uh idea of zeptepi the first time 4443 02:39:57,670 --> 02:39:55,760 that their entire culture had come from 4444 02:39:59,270 --> 02:39:57,680 the east over you know over the great 4445 02:40:02,070 --> 02:39:59,280 body of water 4446 02:40:04,230 --> 02:40:02,080 and even with tamil traditions uh having 4447 02:40:05,349 --> 02:40:04,240 uh foundations of a lost uh lost 4448 02:40:06,469 --> 02:40:05,359 continent in the middle of the pacific 4449 02:40:08,950 --> 02:40:06,479 and then you have 4450 02:40:10,950 --> 02:40:08,960 uh the uh loss of sunderland 4451 02:40:13,349 --> 02:40:10,960 um during the end of the last ice age 4452 02:40:15,590 --> 02:40:13,359 with you know that entire uh 4453 02:40:17,670 --> 02:40:15,600 part of the continent going under around 4454 02:40:19,910 --> 02:40:17,680 uh phil the philippines and indonesia 4455 02:40:21,429 --> 02:40:19,920 and then you have island you know uh 4456 02:40:23,830 --> 02:40:21,439 churchwards 4457 02:40:25,590 --> 02:40:23,840 research into moo which apparently was 4458 02:40:27,429 --> 02:40:25,600 in the pacific 4459 02:40:28,710 --> 02:40:27,439 what are what are your thoughts on on 4460 02:40:33,590 --> 02:40:28,720 all of these 4461 02:40:36,150 --> 02:40:33,600 theories 4462 02:40:38,550 --> 02:40:36,160 there are hints of all of that in the 4463 02:40:39,510 --> 02:40:38,560 traditions i study 4464 02:40:41,910 --> 02:40:39,520 as an 4465 02:40:43,910 --> 02:40:41,920 example where the the egyptians talk 4466 02:40:46,309 --> 02:40:43,920 about a first time 4467 02:40:48,950 --> 02:40:46,319 and the buddhists talk about the first 4468 02:40:50,309 --> 02:40:48,960 time a buddha passed knowledge to 4469 02:40:52,150 --> 02:40:50,319 humanity 4470 02:40:55,750 --> 02:40:52,160 the dogan talked about a time when 4471 02:40:58,630 --> 02:40:55,760 humanity was restored to culture 4472 02:41:01,670 --> 02:40:58,640 so the dogan perspective implies 4473 02:41:03,990 --> 02:41:01,680 that there was high culture before 4474 02:41:05,990 --> 02:41:04,000 this go back to tepe era 4475 02:41:07,349 --> 02:41:06,000 the second thing is 4476 02:41:09,910 --> 02:41:07,359 that 4477 02:41:13,429 --> 02:41:09,920 the word for ancestor in the languages 4478 02:41:16,710 --> 02:41:13,439 of some of these cultures the bombard 4479 02:41:21,590 --> 02:41:18,389 in tibet and china 4480 02:41:23,270 --> 02:41:21,600 and a couple of others is mu 4481 02:41:25,110 --> 02:41:23,280 now 4482 02:41:26,790 --> 02:41:25,120 that leaves an open question as to 4483 02:41:28,469 --> 02:41:26,800 whether 4484 02:41:30,309 --> 02:41:28,479 the tradition that there was a place 4485 02:41:32,150 --> 02:41:30,319 called mood that was 4486 02:41:34,309 --> 02:41:32,160 ancient ancestors 4487 02:41:36,870 --> 02:41:34,319 came out of that word the existence of 4488 02:41:39,510 --> 02:41:36,880 that word or whether the word came out 4489 02:41:42,830 --> 02:41:39,520 of the existence of those ancestors 4490 02:41:45,830 --> 02:41:42,840 it's a chicken and egg situation 4491 02:41:47,270 --> 02:41:45,840 however just as i have 4492 02:41:50,150 --> 02:41:47,280 the book of the publisher now about the 4493 02:41:52,389 --> 02:41:50,160 maori the follow-on manuscript that is 4494 02:41:55,190 --> 02:41:52,399 essentially done that gets to these 4495 02:41:57,830 --> 02:41:55,200 primordial subjects of matter 4496 02:41:59,110 --> 02:41:57,840 there's also material for a book beyond 4497 02:42:03,990 --> 02:41:59,120 that one 4498 02:42:08,630 --> 02:42:06,950 and in some fairly compelling ways 4499 02:42:10,790 --> 02:42:08,640 whether or not 4500 02:42:12,790 --> 02:42:10,800 that book will actually end up seeing 4501 02:42:15,349 --> 02:42:12,800 publication i'm not sure there 4502 02:42:16,870 --> 02:42:15,359 are some reasons i'm weighing 4503 02:42:19,830 --> 02:42:16,880 when i first started into this and i 4504 02:42:21,910 --> 02:42:19,840 realized that dogan were talking about 4505 02:42:24,309 --> 02:42:21,920 things that other cultures had worked 4506 02:42:25,670 --> 02:42:24,319 for centuries for thousands of years to 4507 02:42:27,910 --> 02:42:25,680 keep secret 4508 02:42:29,030 --> 02:42:27,920 they had passed down in secret that 4509 02:42:30,870 --> 02:42:29,040 groups like 4510 02:42:37,750 --> 02:42:30,880 the 4511 02:42:38,790 --> 02:42:37,760 kept secret and sworn people to secrecy 4512 02:42:40,790 --> 02:42:38,800 about 4513 02:42:43,270 --> 02:42:40,800 i wrestled with a question of what right 4514 02:42:45,190 --> 02:42:43,280 did i have to write about this stuff 4515 02:42:47,190 --> 02:42:45,200 and especially if i thought i was on to 4516 02:42:49,349 --> 02:42:47,200 anything that was actually a real 4517 02:42:51,830 --> 02:42:49,359 answer to any of the secrets what right 4518 02:42:53,510 --> 02:42:51,840 did i have to write about this stuff 4519 02:42:55,670 --> 02:42:53,520 and i must have spent six months 4520 02:42:57,590 --> 02:42:55,680 weighing that question 4521 02:43:00,070 --> 02:42:57,600 um i finally 4522 02:43:01,349 --> 02:43:00,080 came to the conclusion 4523 02:43:02,630 --> 02:43:01,359 from a couple of perspectives that it 4524 02:43:05,429 --> 02:43:02,640 was that it was 4525 02:43:07,429 --> 02:43:05,439 all right to do it the first was 4526 02:43:09,349 --> 02:43:07,439 um 4527 02:43:11,349 --> 02:43:09,359 that 4528 02:43:13,110 --> 02:43:11,359 having never been an initiate in any 4529 02:43:15,750 --> 02:43:13,120 tradition i had never made a promise to 4530 02:43:17,190 --> 02:43:15,760 anybody to keep anything secret 4531 02:43:19,110 --> 02:43:17,200 that i don't have 4532 02:43:21,510 --> 02:43:19,120 a sworn obligation to keep anything 4533 02:43:23,349 --> 02:43:21,520 secret i didn't learn it from the masons 4534 02:43:26,309 --> 02:43:23,359 i didn't learn it from the egyptians i 4535 02:43:27,429 --> 02:43:26,319 didn't learn it from a dog and priest 4536 02:43:30,070 --> 02:43:27,439 so 4537 02:43:31,990 --> 02:43:30,080 having not made the vow to keep it 4538 02:43:33,910 --> 02:43:32,000 secret i wasn't necessarily under an 4539 02:43:37,030 --> 02:43:33,920 obligation to keep it secret 4540 02:43:39,750 --> 02:43:37,040 well i i will talk to the sorry i'll 4541 02:43:41,590 --> 02:43:39,760 talk to the grand council of 13 uh girl 4542 02:43:44,150 --> 02:43:41,600 guide scout leaders 4543 02:43:45,110 --> 02:43:44,160 and i'll make sure it's clear um you 4544 02:43:47,110 --> 02:43:45,120 know 4545 02:43:48,830 --> 02:43:47,120 at least from a 32nd degree freemason 4546 02:43:50,550 --> 02:43:48,840 standpoint and a member of the 4547 02:43:51,510 --> 02:43:50,560 illuminati uh 4548 02:43:53,750 --> 02:43:51,520 you know 4549 02:43:56,230 --> 02:43:53,760 that's confirmed people i 4550 02:43:57,830 --> 02:43:56,240 go go ahead and write it as your heart's 4551 02:43:59,590 --> 02:43:57,840 content you're making the world a better 4552 02:44:01,590 --> 02:43:59,600 place 4553 02:44:02,550 --> 02:44:01,600 well the next thing is 4554 02:44:04,630 --> 02:44:02,560 that 4555 02:44:06,230 --> 02:44:04,640 you can see based on the gobekli tepe 4556 02:44:08,550 --> 02:44:06,240 information and its connection to 4557 02:44:09,670 --> 02:44:08,560 science that the target audience 4558 02:44:12,950 --> 02:44:09,680 was 4559 02:44:15,110 --> 02:44:12,960 a culture like ours 4560 02:44:16,950 --> 02:44:15,120 and i could see that the science that 4561 02:44:19,429 --> 02:44:16,960 was represented 4562 02:44:21,190 --> 02:44:19,439 probably only goes about 50 years beyond 4563 02:44:23,110 --> 02:44:21,200 where we're at right now at least 4564 02:44:25,670 --> 02:44:23,120 publicly 4565 02:44:27,910 --> 02:44:25,680 in our scientific world 4566 02:44:29,830 --> 02:44:27,920 what that means is if all these 4567 02:44:32,070 --> 02:44:29,840 thousands of years of keeping it secret 4568 02:44:32,870 --> 02:44:32,080 are going to if they're motivating that 4569 02:44:35,349 --> 02:44:32,880 was 4570 02:44:37,269 --> 02:44:35,359 to help us shortcut our own science 4571 02:44:39,190 --> 02:44:37,279 down the line 4572 02:44:41,190 --> 02:44:39,200 that the only way that's going to have 4573 02:44:45,110 --> 02:44:41,200 any benefit at all is if somebody talks 4574 02:44:45,120 --> 02:44:49,670 at least with hope um 4575 02:44:52,550 --> 02:44:50,950 so 4576 02:44:54,630 --> 02:44:52,560 those are the two perspectives on that 4577 02:44:56,469 --> 02:44:54,640 this new material that connects to 4578 02:44:58,790 --> 02:44:56,479 atlantis 4579 02:45:00,309 --> 02:44:58,800 there are other ethical questions 4580 02:45:02,630 --> 02:45:00,319 involved 4581 02:45:02,640 --> 02:45:08,150 that i have to weigh 4582 02:45:11,429 --> 02:45:10,309 it it's hard to explain in other words 4583 02:45:13,990 --> 02:45:11,439 it's 4584 02:45:17,269 --> 02:45:14,000 with the scientific stuff i'm not giving 4585 02:45:19,030 --> 02:45:17,279 away anybody in specific secrets 4586 02:45:20,550 --> 02:45:19,040 lots of traditions have this information 4587 02:45:22,309 --> 02:45:20,560 they've kept secret 4588 02:45:24,710 --> 02:45:22,319 and revealing it 4589 02:45:26,630 --> 02:45:24,720 doesn't do harm to any group you can 4590 02:45:29,750 --> 02:45:26,640 point to 4591 02:45:31,910 --> 02:45:29,760 the next set of stuff the atlanta stuff 4592 02:45:33,269 --> 02:45:31,920 potentially does do harm to groups that 4593 02:45:35,750 --> 02:45:33,279 i can point to 4594 02:45:38,790 --> 02:45:35,760 and that i care about 4595 02:45:42,550 --> 02:45:40,710 um 4596 02:45:43,510 --> 02:45:42,560 first of all 4597 02:45:45,990 --> 02:45:43,520 it will 4598 02:45:47,510 --> 02:45:46,000 shine a bright light on areas of the 4599 02:45:52,950 --> 02:45:47,520 world that have tried very hard not to 4600 02:45:57,269 --> 02:45:55,110 not a very nice thing to do when someone 4601 02:45:59,190 --> 02:45:57,279 has gone through a great deal of effort 4602 02:46:01,830 --> 02:45:59,200 to not be in the spotlight to shine one 4603 02:46:05,510 --> 02:46:03,429 and so 4604 02:46:07,110 --> 02:46:05,520 given that consideration 4605 02:46:09,590 --> 02:46:07,120 i may write the book and not publish 4606 02:46:11,590 --> 02:46:09,600 that last book 4607 02:46:12,309 --> 02:46:11,600 unless i can come up with 4608 02:46:19,590 --> 02:46:12,319 a 4609 02:46:21,190 --> 02:46:19,600 um 4610 02:46:22,550 --> 02:46:21,200 when i came back from that meeting in 4611 02:46:24,150 --> 02:46:22,560 new york city where they were was 4612 02:46:27,030 --> 02:46:24,160 pointed out to me that all these symbols 4613 02:46:29,190 --> 02:46:27,040 connect to me somehow 4614 02:46:30,070 --> 02:46:29,200 i arrived back in albany to an email 4615 02:46:33,030 --> 02:46:30,080 from 4616 02:46:35,670 --> 02:46:33,040 a distant acquaintance in australia who 4617 02:46:37,750 --> 02:46:35,680 claimed to be psychic and she said 4618 02:46:39,590 --> 02:46:37,760 that she just wanted to let me know that 4619 02:46:41,269 --> 02:46:39,600 all of her psychic friends were in a 4620 02:46:42,870 --> 02:46:41,279 dinner they were upset 4621 02:46:44,230 --> 02:46:42,880 because they knew about the meeting in 4622 02:46:45,750 --> 02:46:44,240 new york city which i hadn't told 4623 02:46:47,510 --> 02:46:45,760 anybody about 4624 02:46:49,510 --> 02:46:47,520 and the reason they were upset was 4625 02:46:53,110 --> 02:46:49,520 because i had been given permission to 4626 02:46:55,750 --> 02:46:53,120 study things that they wanted to study 4627 02:46:59,830 --> 02:46:58,309 that kind of an experience 4628 02:47:01,429 --> 02:46:59,840 if you look at it the right way can be 4629 02:47:02,950 --> 02:47:01,439 taken as permission to go ahead and do a 4630 02:47:04,550 --> 02:47:02,960 thing you had thoughts about what you 4631 02:47:06,150 --> 02:47:04,560 should do 4632 02:47:08,309 --> 02:47:06,160 so there's the potential that something 4633 02:47:09,269 --> 02:47:08,319 like that will happen and i'll i'll feel 4634 02:47:10,950 --> 02:47:09,279 that 4635 02:47:13,590 --> 02:47:10,960 the universe has given me permission to 4636 02:47:16,630 --> 02:47:13,600 go ahead and talk about that last piece 4637 02:47:20,550 --> 02:47:16,640 but right now i'm still 4638 02:47:24,950 --> 02:47:22,550 i think this is the the deepest we've 4639 02:47:26,469 --> 02:47:24,960 like the most profound we've gone into 4640 02:47:29,510 --> 02:47:26,479 an episode with a guest 4641 02:47:30,870 --> 02:47:29,520 um with regards to unreleased material 4642 02:47:32,950 --> 02:47:30,880 and the 4643 02:47:36,550 --> 02:47:32,960 you know the ethical reasons 4644 02:47:38,630 --> 02:47:36,560 whether to release it or record it or 4645 02:47:40,469 --> 02:47:38,640 you know to publish it for instance 4646 02:47:42,630 --> 02:47:40,479 and again you're you know you're a 4647 02:47:44,469 --> 02:47:42,640 software engineer and 4648 02:47:45,990 --> 02:47:44,479 a very well regarded uh internationally 4649 02:47:48,150 --> 02:47:46,000 published author 4650 02:47:49,670 --> 02:47:48,160 and the fact that you're wrestling with 4651 02:47:53,349 --> 02:47:49,680 the 4652 02:47:54,710 --> 02:47:53,359 put 4653 02:47:56,389 --> 02:47:54,720 work of yours out there which could 4654 02:47:57,910 --> 02:47:56,399 potentially bring you revenue and bring 4655 02:48:01,110 --> 02:47:57,920 your publisher revenue and again help 4656 02:48:02,950 --> 02:48:01,120 your family it's weighing that 4657 02:48:05,429 --> 02:48:02,960 whether it's worth it for the greater 4658 02:48:07,670 --> 02:48:05,439 good or whether it can actually do harm 4659 02:48:09,830 --> 02:48:07,680 and any author these days will tell you 4660 02:48:12,230 --> 02:48:09,840 that the financial side of it is not a 4661 02:48:14,630 --> 02:48:12,240 big enough piece to influence anybody's 4662 02:48:16,630 --> 02:48:14,640 decision about anything an author sees 4663 02:48:18,150 --> 02:48:16,640 almost nothing of 4664 02:48:28,309 --> 02:48:18,160 a 4665 02:48:29,510 --> 02:48:28,319 um you're not in it for the money 4666 02:48:31,510 --> 02:48:29,520 even she 4667 02:48:33,590 --> 02:48:31,520 donated considerable considerable amount 4668 02:48:35,190 --> 02:48:33,600 of her of of her wealth 4669 02:48:36,230 --> 02:48:35,200 from her success 4670 02:48:40,550 --> 02:48:36,240 um 4671 02:48:46,630 --> 02:48:43,269 from the standpoint of shining light on 4672 02:48:50,469 --> 02:48:46,640 individuals or or groups or nations or 4673 02:48:53,830 --> 02:48:51,910 certain 4674 02:48:56,230 --> 02:48:53,840 areas we'll we'll put it 4675 02:48:59,750 --> 02:48:56,240 i can understand that standpoint because 4676 02:49:02,070 --> 02:48:59,760 if we look at um 4677 02:49:04,710 --> 02:49:02,080 let's say the the ayahuasca craze and 4678 02:49:06,070 --> 02:49:04,720 and how that has been kind of spreading 4679 02:49:08,309 --> 02:49:06,080 uh within north america and there there 4680 02:49:09,990 --> 02:49:08,319 are people who you know it's it was 4681 02:49:12,469 --> 02:49:10,000 first really brought out into the the 4682 02:49:13,750 --> 02:49:12,479 wild wide world within our our current 4683 02:49:15,269 --> 02:49:13,760 generation 4684 02:49:17,510 --> 02:49:15,279 and popular culture through jeroen 4685 02:49:19,990 --> 02:49:17,520 experience and his discussions with 4686 02:49:20,790 --> 02:49:20,000 uh with uh um graham 4687 02:49:21,990 --> 02:49:20,800 and 4688 02:49:23,990 --> 02:49:22,000 like now you'll have all of these young 4689 02:49:26,550 --> 02:49:24,000 people who will travel down you know 4690 02:49:28,630 --> 02:49:26,560 they'll travel down to south america or 4691 02:49:30,469 --> 02:49:28,640 you they will find people within their 4692 02:49:31,750 --> 02:49:30,479 own communities to essentially go 4693 02:49:34,389 --> 02:49:31,760 ayahuasca 4694 02:49:35,990 --> 02:49:34,399 you know vacationing as it were a very 4695 02:49:37,750 --> 02:49:36,000 profound vacation 4696 02:49:40,230 --> 02:49:37,760 but you're it's a lot of traffic going 4697 02:49:43,349 --> 02:49:40,240 to certain areas that is you know can 4698 02:49:45,190 --> 02:49:43,359 either be diluting the message or could 4699 02:49:47,269 --> 02:49:45,200 be doing more harm by getting a 4700 02:49:49,990 --> 02:49:47,279 perception about the experience which is 4701 02:49:51,030 --> 02:49:50,000 supposed to be very very spiritual 4702 02:49:56,230 --> 02:49:51,040 or 4703 02:49:57,670 --> 02:49:56,240 like the egyptian pyramids which 4704 02:50:00,710 --> 02:49:57,680 pretty much all times of year are 4705 02:50:02,230 --> 02:50:00,720 crawling with with tourists now these 4706 02:50:04,870 --> 02:50:02,240 monuments which 4707 02:50:05,990 --> 02:50:04,880 you know have stood the test of time for 4708 02:50:08,630 --> 02:50:06,000 at least 4709 02:50:09,590 --> 02:50:08,640 4 500 years possibly much longer than 4710 02:50:11,510 --> 02:50:09,600 that 4711 02:50:13,190 --> 02:50:11,520 have people right all over them and 4712 02:50:14,870 --> 02:50:13,200 inside of them 4713 02:50:16,950 --> 02:50:14,880 you know 12 hours a day every single day 4714 02:50:19,110 --> 02:50:16,960 365 days a year 4715 02:50:20,389 --> 02:50:19,120 and they could have been created to be 4716 02:50:23,429 --> 02:50:20,399 extremely 4717 02:50:25,190 --> 02:50:23,439 spiritual and important places not just 4718 02:50:27,429 --> 02:50:25,200 from a religious standpoint but possibly 4719 02:50:28,790 --> 02:50:27,439 even a metaphysical standpoint 4720 02:50:30,309 --> 02:50:28,800 so 4721 02:50:32,150 --> 02:50:30,319 like if 4722 02:50:33,269 --> 02:50:32,160 is this the type of 4723 02:50:34,870 --> 02:50:33,279 um 4724 02:50:37,110 --> 02:50:34,880 you know is this the type of worry that 4725 02:50:38,550 --> 02:50:37,120 you have or is it more of a 4726 02:50:41,110 --> 02:50:38,560 uh you know 4727 02:50:43,030 --> 02:50:41,120 like a safety issue is like 4728 02:50:45,349 --> 02:50:43,040 that no that that's one 4729 02:50:47,030 --> 02:50:45,359 one issue is okay first of all i 4730 02:50:48,550 --> 02:50:47,040 understand that 4731 02:50:50,469 --> 02:50:48,560 whatever is at the bottom of all this 4732 02:50:52,950 --> 02:50:50,479 stuff is more than capable of defending 4733 02:50:54,870 --> 02:50:52,960 itself if there's a real thing there if 4734 02:50:56,710 --> 02:50:54,880 we're perceiving something that's real 4735 02:50:59,349 --> 02:50:56,720 it's more than capable of defending 4736 02:51:01,750 --> 02:50:59,359 itself it doesn't need me to protect it 4737 02:51:07,750 --> 02:51:03,670 there there is a concern about 4738 02:51:09,429 --> 02:51:07,760 overrunning sites that are pristine 4739 02:51:10,710 --> 02:51:09,439 there is a concern 4740 02:51:13,429 --> 02:51:10,720 about 4741 02:51:14,950 --> 02:51:13,439 destroying the life of 4742 02:51:17,269 --> 02:51:14,960 communities 4743 02:51:23,910 --> 02:51:21,269 um have gone to extraordinary lengths 4744 02:51:28,790 --> 02:51:26,070 sustain a really nice 4745 02:51:31,590 --> 02:51:28,800 society unto themselves 4746 02:51:32,550 --> 02:51:31,600 why send people to these places that 4747 02:51:35,030 --> 02:51:32,560 don't 4748 02:51:36,550 --> 02:51:35,040 they're not asking to be overrun 4749 02:51:38,309 --> 02:51:36,560 with you not that my book would cause 4750 02:51:39,830 --> 02:51:38,319 that to happen 4751 02:51:42,630 --> 02:51:39,840 but 4752 02:51:47,190 --> 02:51:45,030 there there are concerns about 4753 02:51:48,230 --> 02:51:47,200 about what what's the the nice thing to 4754 02:51:50,230 --> 02:51:48,240 do 4755 02:51:52,630 --> 02:51:50,240 for somebody if you know somebody who is 4756 02:51:53,990 --> 02:51:52,640 is deliberately trying not to be found 4757 02:51:56,710 --> 02:51:54,000 you don't go on the internet and say oh 4758 02:51:57,429 --> 02:51:56,720 by the way here they are 4759 02:52:01,030 --> 02:51:57,439 now 4760 02:52:03,910 --> 02:52:01,040 i'm gonna outright ask you um and again 4761 02:52:06,070 --> 02:52:03,920 i saw only one post on your a book about 4762 02:52:08,550 --> 02:52:06,080 this and i've talked to every single 4763 02:52:10,309 --> 02:52:08,560 person that i have tried to discuss this 4764 02:52:12,150 --> 02:52:10,319 subject with has always been near the 4765 02:52:14,389 --> 02:52:12,160 end of the interview and never actually 4766 02:52:15,670 --> 02:52:14,399 get to the subject hence the entire 4767 02:52:17,750 --> 02:52:15,680 throwback month 4768 02:52:20,230 --> 02:52:17,760 because i'm trying to you know at least 4769 02:52:22,230 --> 02:52:20,240 go deeper into these subjects 4770 02:52:28,550 --> 02:52:22,240 regarding giants 4771 02:52:28,560 --> 02:52:32,150 there's a perspective from which 4772 02:52:36,150 --> 02:52:33,510 there might have been giants on the 4773 02:52:37,030 --> 02:52:36,160 planet in ancient times 4774 02:52:39,030 --> 02:52:37,040 but 4775 02:52:40,070 --> 02:52:39,040 to get to that 4776 02:52:44,710 --> 02:52:40,080 the 4777 02:52:47,269 --> 02:52:44,720 publisher to publish and it doesn't 4778 02:52:50,550 --> 02:52:47,279 directly deal with the concept of giants 4779 02:52:52,070 --> 02:52:50,560 it deals with concepts that could allow 4780 02:52:54,389 --> 02:52:52,080 could explain or give us a perspective 4781 02:52:56,630 --> 02:52:54,399 for how that might have been possible 4782 02:53:00,950 --> 02:52:56,640 you know it's also possible that 4783 02:53:04,150 --> 02:53:02,309 there's a perspective from which that's 4784 02:53:06,550 --> 02:53:04,160 also possible 4785 02:53:08,230 --> 02:53:06,560 and with this one 4786 02:53:11,269 --> 02:53:08,240 sorry go ahead i mean i'm not not 4787 02:53:14,309 --> 02:53:11,279 endorsing those things happened uh i'm 4788 02:53:16,790 --> 02:53:14,319 not i'm not a researcher of giants or 4789 02:53:18,950 --> 02:53:16,800 the elongated heads or a lot of these 4790 02:53:20,309 --> 02:53:18,960 subjects that are still really on the 4791 02:53:21,590 --> 02:53:20,319 fringe of 4792 02:53:25,349 --> 02:53:21,600 of 4793 02:53:27,349 --> 02:53:25,359 the feudal studies i'm in but 4794 02:53:29,590 --> 02:53:27,359 when it comes to the giants and the 4795 02:53:30,710 --> 02:53:29,600 longevity of life there is a perspective 4796 02:53:32,630 --> 02:53:30,720 from which 4797 02:53:33,990 --> 02:53:32,640 you might be able to explain those and 4798 02:53:37,510 --> 02:53:34,000 would this have anything to do with uh 4799 02:53:42,389 --> 02:53:37,520 ormus or monoatomic gold 4800 02:53:44,070 --> 02:53:42,399 no okay um not not directly into this um 4801 02:53:45,910 --> 02:53:44,080 but it does 4802 02:53:47,510 --> 02:53:45,920 if you're paying attention to scientific 4803 02:53:51,190 --> 02:53:47,520 discoveries that are are playing out 4804 02:53:52,630 --> 02:53:51,200 recently there are some odd questions 4805 02:53:53,990 --> 02:53:52,640 that keep popping up there's a there was 4806 02:53:55,269 --> 02:53:54,000 an article i posted on facebook the 4807 02:53:56,469 --> 02:53:55,279 other day that 4808 02:53:58,469 --> 02:53:56,479 where 4809 02:54:00,070 --> 02:53:58,479 one of the solutions to the scientific 4810 02:54:01,590 --> 02:54:00,080 conundrum they have right now is that 4811 02:54:03,110 --> 02:54:01,600 our universe they're seeing the effect 4812 02:54:04,830 --> 02:54:03,120 of our universe pressing up against 4813 02:54:07,110 --> 02:54:04,840 another 4814 02:54:09,110 --> 02:54:07,120 universe i i'm 4815 02:54:11,830 --> 02:54:09,120 you know i have um 4816 02:54:13,910 --> 02:54:11,840 been very critical of the uh of let's 4817 02:54:15,670 --> 02:54:13,920 say zechariah sitchin's work and 4818 02:54:17,030 --> 02:54:15,680 translations of 4819 02:54:18,469 --> 02:54:17,040 uh the 4820 02:54:20,710 --> 02:54:18,479 cuneiform texts 4821 02:54:23,750 --> 02:54:20,720 um in earlier episodes i i've become a 4822 02:54:25,429 --> 02:54:23,760 lot more open-minded to the possibility 4823 02:54:28,230 --> 02:54:25,439 and not outright dismissed it but you 4824 02:54:29,990 --> 02:54:28,240 know early on in the show i may have 4825 02:54:31,670 --> 02:54:30,000 said some choice things about uh the 4826 02:54:33,349 --> 02:54:31,680 ancient aliens 4827 02:54:36,630 --> 02:54:33,359 uh television show in terms of 4828 02:54:40,309 --> 02:54:36,640 presentation of its work as a fact 4829 02:54:41,910 --> 02:54:40,319 uh that you know essentially it was like 4830 02:54:43,429 --> 02:54:41,920 how the hell were these you know there 4831 02:54:45,990 --> 02:54:43,439 were these aliens that were out there 4832 02:54:47,910 --> 02:54:46,000 that came here mined monoatomic gold 4833 02:54:49,590 --> 02:54:47,920 from some planet within our universe 4834 02:54:51,830 --> 02:54:49,600 that the date of its appearance keeps 4835 02:54:53,349 --> 02:54:51,840 getting pushed back you know these guys 4836 02:54:55,269 --> 02:54:53,359 are full of [\h__\h] type of thing 4837 02:54:56,469 --> 02:54:55,279 uh or zechariah sitchin i think is full 4838 02:54:59,429 --> 02:54:56,479 of [\h__\h] i 4839 02:55:00,790 --> 02:54:59,439 because i have tempered myself 4840 02:55:02,870 --> 02:55:00,800 it's a matter of again trying to find 4841 02:55:04,230 --> 02:55:02,880 that that razor's edge between being 4842 02:55:05,670 --> 02:55:04,240 open-minded between the science and the 4843 02:55:06,870 --> 02:55:05,680 metaphysics and saying okay it's a 4844 02:55:08,389 --> 02:55:06,880 possibility 4845 02:55:10,550 --> 02:55:08,399 um but i'm not going to outright say 4846 02:55:11,590 --> 02:55:10,560 it's not you know i may disagree with 4847 02:55:13,429 --> 02:55:11,600 something but i'm not going to say it's 4848 02:55:15,429 --> 02:55:13,439 not true because i would hate to find 4849 02:55:16,389 --> 02:55:15,439 out if this book actually gets published 4850 02:55:18,389 --> 02:55:16,399 or if i can 4851 02:55:20,070 --> 02:55:18,399 somehow get this information out of you 4852 02:55:21,910 --> 02:55:20,080 to find out that their entire tv show 4853 02:55:23,830 --> 02:55:21,920 was right and then i have to go back 4854 02:55:25,670 --> 02:55:23,840 through 30 episodes and say like yeah 4855 02:55:27,429 --> 02:55:25,680 that part i was wrong i'm sorry for 4856 02:55:28,950 --> 02:55:27,439 saying you guys are full of [\h__\h] here 4857 02:55:32,710 --> 02:55:28,960 i'm sorry for giving you a hard time 4858 02:55:34,150 --> 02:55:32,720 there because it's you know it yeah 4859 02:55:35,590 --> 02:55:34,160 because i don't have the facts and maybe 4860 02:55:37,269 --> 02:55:35,600 they have the research that says 4861 02:55:39,429 --> 02:55:37,279 otherwise and just because it's on this 4862 02:55:41,030 --> 02:55:39,439 shiny tv show and it's presented you 4863 02:55:43,030 --> 02:55:41,040 know somewhat comically it'd be to the 4864 02:55:45,190 --> 02:55:43,040 point where it's an internet meme uh 4865 02:55:46,630 --> 02:55:45,200 george suclose love you to death 4866 02:55:48,870 --> 02:55:46,640 um 4867 02:55:50,870 --> 02:55:48,880 you know well there's a bogart film 4868 02:55:54,070 --> 02:55:50,880 where there's an interaction between 4869 02:55:55,990 --> 02:55:54,080 uh bogart and elijah cook whereas so one 4870 02:55:57,349 --> 02:55:56,000 of the characters says you gotta let a 4871 02:55:58,630 --> 02:55:57,359 guy play his hand one of them had 4872 02:56:00,469 --> 02:55:58,640 watched the other one get beat up in an 4873 02:56:02,870 --> 02:56:00,479 alleyway and the one who got beat up 4874 02:56:04,950 --> 02:56:02,880 said why didn't you stop it and the the 4875 02:56:06,389 --> 02:56:04,960 first one says because i've learned in 4876 02:56:07,349 --> 02:56:06,399 this business you gotta let a guy play 4877 02:56:09,830 --> 02:56:07,359 his hand 4878 02:56:12,469 --> 02:56:09,840 that's sort of the way i feel about 4879 02:56:14,870 --> 02:56:12,479 anybody's theory about something 4880 02:56:17,750 --> 02:56:14,880 is that i try to take it at face value 4881 02:56:19,269 --> 02:56:17,760 of what they present to me i know that a 4882 02:56:21,990 --> 02:56:19,279 lot of the stuff i talk about sounds 4883 02:56:24,309 --> 02:56:22,000 like nonsense to somebody else 4884 02:56:26,710 --> 02:56:24,319 in the end 4885 02:56:28,630 --> 02:56:26,720 there's a huge conceptual stack of 4886 02:56:30,950 --> 02:56:28,640 things that i might might be true or 4887 02:56:33,990 --> 02:56:30,960 might not be true that i don't try to to 4888 02:56:35,190 --> 02:56:34,000 render uh an opinion about and over time 4889 02:56:37,190 --> 02:56:35,200 some of those end up coming off the 4890 02:56:39,110 --> 02:56:37,200 stack and i have a rationale for either 4891 02:56:40,389 --> 02:56:39,120 that it is true or 4892 02:56:42,469 --> 02:56:40,399 there's a perspective from which it 4893 02:56:44,550 --> 02:56:42,479 might be true 4894 02:56:46,790 --> 02:56:44,560 um a lot of times i mean some of the 4895 02:56:48,790 --> 02:56:46,800 last couple of books i've written 4896 02:56:50,469 --> 02:56:48,800 it's like a whole book some with the 4897 02:56:52,870 --> 02:56:50,479 material comes out of that stack at the 4898 02:56:54,710 --> 02:56:52,880 same moment because of one piece falling 4899 02:56:56,469 --> 02:56:54,720 into place 4900 02:56:58,070 --> 02:56:56,479 the scarab ray book was written in 4901 02:56:59,510 --> 02:56:58,080 mostly six weeks 4902 02:57:01,190 --> 02:56:59,520 most of the 4903 02:57:03,510 --> 02:57:01,200 majority majority was written in six 4904 02:57:05,510 --> 02:57:03,520 weeks the point of origin book 4905 02:57:07,190 --> 02:57:05,520 was written in about three months the 4906 02:57:10,070 --> 02:57:07,200 books before that 4907 02:57:12,550 --> 02:57:10,080 took year and a half each 4908 02:57:14,469 --> 02:57:12,560 but that also has bearing on the 4909 02:57:16,950 --> 02:57:14,479 material and my feeling of whether it's 4910 02:57:18,870 --> 02:57:16,960 appropriate to be revealing stuff the 4911 02:57:20,870 --> 02:57:18,880 point of origin book 4912 02:57:23,269 --> 02:57:20,880 the way that that fell out 4913 02:57:25,190 --> 02:57:23,279 was i thought i was researching a half a 4914 02:57:26,630 --> 02:57:25,200 dozen different questions 4915 02:57:28,389 --> 02:57:26,640 for people i knew that related the 4916 02:57:31,030 --> 02:57:28,399 language egyptian language 4917 02:57:33,190 --> 02:57:31,040 and one july morning 4918 02:57:35,750 --> 02:57:33,200 i happened to solve all half a dozen 4919 02:57:37,830 --> 02:57:35,760 questions at the same time 4920 02:57:40,150 --> 02:57:37,840 and the words that solved the problem 4921 02:57:41,590 --> 02:57:40,160 were all in the same column of the same 4922 02:57:42,870 --> 02:57:41,600 page of the egyptian hieroglyphic 4923 02:57:45,110 --> 02:57:42,880 dictionary 4924 02:57:46,389 --> 02:57:45,120 and the seventh word on that page as 4925 02:57:49,429 --> 02:57:46,399 well as the key indeed at the right 4926 02:57:52,070 --> 02:57:51,110 and when that kind of thing happens to 4927 02:58:02,070 --> 02:57:52,080 you 4928 02:58:03,830 --> 02:58:02,080 long and again not to 4929 02:58:05,750 --> 02:58:03,840 diminish the length of time if if you 4930 02:58:06,950 --> 02:58:05,760 could write such profound work within 4931 02:58:09,830 --> 02:58:06,960 you know three months to a year and a 4932 02:58:12,870 --> 02:58:09,840 half and george rr martin takes like 4933 02:58:14,710 --> 02:58:12,880 what 10 years to write wins a winter uh 4934 02:58:16,469 --> 02:58:14,720 you know and 4935 02:58:17,510 --> 02:58:16,479 it it kind of goes better at making 4936 02:58:18,710 --> 02:58:17,520 stuff up 4937 02:58:21,110 --> 02:58:18,720 well no 4938 02:58:23,030 --> 02:58:21,120 well it's either that or you're you're 4939 02:58:24,469 --> 02:58:23,040 sourcing the information or at least 4940 02:58:25,910 --> 02:58:24,479 it's it's coming to the connections are 4941 02:58:27,670 --> 02:58:25,920 coming to you from 4942 02:58:29,429 --> 02:58:27,680 you know you have otherworldly 4943 02:58:30,870 --> 02:58:29,439 connections that you've said you have 4944 02:58:33,590 --> 02:58:30,880 experience and everything leads back to 4945 02:58:35,830 --> 02:58:33,600 you uh you know is is it possible that 4946 02:58:36,630 --> 02:58:35,840 you are in like some 4947 02:58:37,990 --> 02:58:36,640 like have you looked into the 4948 02:58:39,750 --> 02:58:38,000 possibility that you're an information 4949 02:58:41,750 --> 02:58:39,760 nexus or you're meant to 4950 02:58:43,190 --> 02:58:41,760 write these the you put this knowledge 4951 02:58:45,110 --> 02:58:43,200 out there 4952 02:58:46,710 --> 02:58:45,120 that's one of the questions that i don't 4953 02:58:48,550 --> 02:58:46,720 have a perspective on that's on the 4954 02:58:49,830 --> 02:58:48,560 stack of 4955 02:58:51,510 --> 02:58:49,840 some things might be two other things 4956 02:58:57,429 --> 02:58:51,520 might be true and i'm not in a position 4957 02:59:01,030 --> 02:58:59,349 you also learn in this business to take 4958 02:59:03,190 --> 02:59:01,040 things on to more than one level at the 4959 02:59:05,429 --> 02:59:03,200 same time 4960 02:59:07,349 --> 02:59:05,439 and so 4961 02:59:08,710 --> 02:59:07,359 the best i can say about any of that 4962 02:59:10,790 --> 02:59:08,720 stuff is 4963 02:59:12,309 --> 02:59:10,800 here's here's a demonstration that 4964 02:59:15,510 --> 02:59:12,319 there's stuff going on that we can't 4965 02:59:17,269 --> 02:59:15,520 explain because in a rational world that 4966 02:59:18,630 --> 02:59:17,279 kind of thing doesn't happen and i know 4967 02:59:21,830 --> 02:59:18,640 it 4968 02:59:23,910 --> 02:59:21,840 when i was researching the china book 4969 02:59:25,750 --> 02:59:23,920 i was researching a period of time when 4970 02:59:29,429 --> 02:59:25,760 i was researching the 4971 02:59:31,030 --> 02:59:29,439 eight mythical emperors of china 4972 02:59:32,230 --> 02:59:31,040 and there are myths that explain who 4973 02:59:33,750 --> 02:59:32,240 they were and what they did and where 4974 02:59:35,670 --> 02:59:33,760 they went where they were born and what 4975 02:59:36,630 --> 02:59:35,680 their name was and so forth 4976 02:59:38,309 --> 02:59:36,640 when you 4977 02:59:40,550 --> 02:59:38,319 parse out all that material about one of 4978 02:59:42,630 --> 02:59:40,560 the emperors you discover that hit the 4979 02:59:44,950 --> 02:59:42,640 phonetic value of his name 4980 02:59:46,389 --> 02:59:44,960 links you to egyptian words 4981 02:59:48,230 --> 02:59:46,399 where 4982 02:59:49,750 --> 02:59:48,240 other words under the same kinetic value 4983 02:59:52,070 --> 02:59:49,760 all tied to these same attributes of 4984 02:59:53,429 --> 02:59:52,080 that emperor in other words 4985 02:59:55,830 --> 02:59:53,439 it looks like this is not telling us 4986 02:59:58,710 --> 02:59:55,840 history about the life of a person this 4987 03:00:00,790 --> 02:59:58,720 is encoding a set of cosmological 4988 03:00:04,150 --> 03:00:00,800 meanings into the storyline this is a 4989 03:00:06,469 --> 03:00:04,160 this is myth this is in history 4990 03:00:07,590 --> 03:00:06,479 then i take a perspective on my own 4991 03:00:11,910 --> 03:00:07,600 experience 4992 03:00:13,190 --> 03:00:11,920 lay out the things that like the layered 4993 03:00:16,070 --> 03:00:13,200 of scale 4994 03:00:18,550 --> 03:00:16,080 that if 500 years from now somebody were 4995 03:00:20,950 --> 03:00:18,560 looking back and and taking a look at 4996 03:00:23,110 --> 03:00:20,960 these meanings and how they tie out they 4997 03:00:25,030 --> 03:00:23,120 would say was very clear that this is 4998 03:00:27,190 --> 03:00:25,040 not lyric scranton wasn't a real person 4999 03:00:30,870 --> 03:00:27,200 this is a myth because you can't have 5000 03:00:35,429 --> 03:00:33,510 and so i end up having to take it 5001 03:00:37,590 --> 03:00:35,439 on two levels i have to allow for the 5002 03:00:40,309 --> 03:00:37,600 fact that these odd things are really 5003 03:00:43,990 --> 03:00:40,319 happening and i don't understand them 5004 03:00:45,510 --> 03:00:44,000 i also have to allow for the fact that 5005 03:00:49,349 --> 03:00:45,520 intellectually i know that it's not 5006 03:00:54,230 --> 03:00:52,230 and that in itself may tell me something 5007 03:00:55,190 --> 03:00:54,240 about the nature of my reality i don't 5008 03:00:56,469 --> 03:00:55,200 know 5009 03:00:57,590 --> 03:00:56,479 um 5010 03:00:59,110 --> 03:00:57,600 it's not something i've completely 5011 03:01:01,269 --> 03:00:59,120 sorted out but 5012 03:01:03,190 --> 03:01:01,279 the best best best conclusion i can come 5013 03:01:08,070 --> 03:01:03,200 to is there's stuff going on i can't 5014 03:01:11,910 --> 03:01:08,870 and 5015 03:01:16,230 --> 03:01:14,309 any again not not trying to say a 5016 03:01:17,910 --> 03:01:16,240 definitive one way or another and again 5017 03:01:18,790 --> 03:01:17,920 like where we're having a conversation 5018 03:01:21,269 --> 03:01:18,800 as 5019 03:01:23,429 --> 03:01:21,279 uh you know like 5020 03:01:25,750 --> 03:01:23,439 fairly well known out there 5021 03:01:28,150 --> 03:01:25,760 acquaintances within the community so 5022 03:01:30,469 --> 03:01:28,160 just just conjecture 5023 03:01:32,150 --> 03:01:30,479 if you were to get venture a guess 5024 03:01:39,590 --> 03:01:32,160 i'll use that term 5025 03:01:43,670 --> 03:01:41,349 well because of the path i'm on with the 5026 03:01:45,030 --> 03:01:43,680 books i have to take what seems to be 5027 03:01:47,110 --> 03:01:45,040 real as real 5028 03:01:48,550 --> 03:01:47,120 it's basically the same conundrum as 5029 03:01:50,230 --> 03:01:48,560 physicist is telling me that he doesn't 5030 03:01:51,830 --> 03:01:50,240 believe that certain pieces of this 5031 03:01:53,590 --> 03:01:51,840 could work the way that i say they're 5032 03:01:54,710 --> 03:01:53,600 working or the way the token say that 5033 03:01:57,110 --> 03:01:54,720 they work 5034 03:01:59,429 --> 03:01:57,120 that 5035 03:02:01,670 --> 03:01:59,439 my job might the track i'm on is to 5036 03:02:04,710 --> 03:02:01,680 pursue wherever that leads 5037 03:02:05,910 --> 03:02:04,720 and ultimately doing that doesn't depend 5038 03:02:07,910 --> 03:02:05,920 on whether 5039 03:02:09,670 --> 03:02:07,920 it's really true or not 5040 03:02:11,510 --> 03:02:09,680 i still have to pursue it 5041 03:02:12,790 --> 03:02:11,520 it's like if you were you've gotten on 5042 03:02:15,030 --> 03:02:12,800 the train you had the ticket that's 5043 03:02:16,150 --> 03:02:15,040 going to take you to chicago 5044 03:02:17,269 --> 03:02:16,160 it doesn't matter if you decide to 5045 03:02:18,710 --> 03:02:17,279 halfway through that you're questioning 5046 03:02:23,269 --> 03:02:18,720 your motives for going to chicago are 5047 03:02:27,910 --> 03:02:25,590 so it's a it's a mood question it's a 5048 03:02:30,309 --> 03:02:27,920 question i can't answer 5049 03:02:33,429 --> 03:02:30,319 every virtually every author i've talked 5050 03:02:35,429 --> 03:02:33,439 to who writes about this stuff 5051 03:02:37,269 --> 03:02:35,439 i'd research other teachers researchers 5052 03:02:38,389 --> 03:02:37,279 who don't really write but explore in 5053 03:02:39,269 --> 03:02:38,399 other ways 5054 03:02:41,670 --> 03:02:39,279 has 5055 03:02:43,190 --> 03:02:41,680 a zillion stories that i can't explain 5056 03:02:44,870 --> 03:02:43,200 the things that have happened to them 5057 03:02:46,870 --> 03:02:44,880 i've had really odd things happen i've 5058 03:02:48,150 --> 03:02:46,880 been at conferences i was at a 5059 03:02:50,150 --> 03:02:48,160 conference 5060 03:02:52,870 --> 03:02:50,160 sitting listening to a presentation 5061 03:02:54,469 --> 03:02:52,880 behind a couple and at one point the 5062 03:02:57,429 --> 03:02:54,479 woman and the couple turned around and 5063 03:02:59,429 --> 03:02:57,439 asked me she said would i mind if i mind 5064 03:03:01,590 --> 03:02:59,439 taking a look at a symbol for her during 5065 03:03:03,110 --> 03:03:01,600 the break and i said i would and so 5066 03:03:05,910 --> 03:03:03,120 during the break we went out and she 5067 03:03:08,309 --> 03:03:05,920 brought me actually two photographs of 5068 03:03:09,910 --> 03:03:08,319 the same symbol one had appeared on the 5069 03:03:12,550 --> 03:03:09,920 window of her house 5070 03:03:14,630 --> 03:03:12,560 next to her fireplace and the other 5071 03:03:16,790 --> 03:03:14,640 the same symbol had turned up on the 5072 03:03:19,590 --> 03:03:16,800 windshield of her car and she and her 5073 03:03:23,269 --> 03:03:19,600 husband were only concerned that this 5074 03:03:25,269 --> 03:03:23,279 was an evil sign an evil omen could i 5075 03:03:26,790 --> 03:03:25,279 reassure them that it wasn't 5076 03:03:29,030 --> 03:03:26,800 well i could see 5077 03:03:31,309 --> 03:03:29,040 that the symbol was a dogen symbol i'd 5078 03:03:33,990 --> 03:03:31,319 seen pictures of it in in the doghood 5079 03:03:36,469 --> 03:03:34,000 anthropological study but i didn't 5080 03:03:38,070 --> 03:03:36,479 have a fix on what it represented so i 5081 03:03:40,469 --> 03:03:38,080 went back after the conference i did 5082 03:03:42,790 --> 03:03:40,479 some research and discovered that 5083 03:03:44,870 --> 03:03:42,800 the subject matter that i was currently 5084 03:03:46,469 --> 03:03:44,880 researching for a book i was writing i 5085 03:03:49,030 --> 03:03:46,479 was trying to write 5086 03:03:50,870 --> 03:03:49,040 had a whole other dimension to it that i 5087 03:03:55,590 --> 03:03:50,880 had not discovered 5088 03:03:59,670 --> 03:03:57,670 so i told the lady that 5089 03:04:01,750 --> 03:03:59,680 and that almost made her more upset than 5090 03:04:03,269 --> 03:04:01,760 thinking that it was an evil omen i had 5091 03:04:05,190 --> 03:04:03,279 to reassure her i said look all that's 5092 03:04:06,710 --> 03:04:05,200 happened here and this happens to me at 5093 03:04:09,190 --> 03:04:06,720 conferences a lot 5094 03:04:10,950 --> 03:04:09,200 is 5095 03:04:12,550 --> 03:04:10,960 the same thing as if 5096 03:04:14,070 --> 03:04:12,560 you had to get a message to a friend who 5097 03:04:15,510 --> 03:04:14,080 you know was going to a party and you 5098 03:04:17,830 --> 03:04:15,520 sent it with another friend who was also 5099 03:04:22,309 --> 03:04:17,840 going 5100 03:04:24,150 --> 03:04:22,319 it's not nefarious 5101 03:04:26,469 --> 03:04:24,160 it's practical 5102 03:04:28,469 --> 03:04:26,479 i've had situations where people will 5103 03:04:29,750 --> 03:04:28,479 approach me the conference with really 5104 03:04:31,750 --> 03:04:29,760 weird stories of things that have been 5105 03:04:33,190 --> 03:04:31,760 happening to them lately and when i get 5106 03:04:35,830 --> 03:04:33,200 to the bottom of the symbolism of what 5107 03:04:37,030 --> 03:04:35,840 they're talking about it's the answer to 5108 03:04:39,349 --> 03:04:37,040 an issue another person of the 5109 03:04:41,670 --> 03:04:39,359 conference was having 5110 03:04:42,950 --> 03:04:41,680 where i ended up being the conduit for 5111 03:04:44,630 --> 03:04:42,960 the 5112 03:04:47,110 --> 03:04:44,640 information 5113 03:04:49,590 --> 03:04:47,120 and that's the kind of stuff 5114 03:04:51,190 --> 03:04:49,600 that you either allow 5115 03:04:52,790 --> 03:04:51,200 could be true or you don't and if you 5116 03:04:55,990 --> 03:04:52,800 don't allow that it could be true you 5117 03:04:58,389 --> 03:04:56,000 don't get it it doesn't happen for you 5118 03:05:00,630 --> 03:04:58,399 and those who do allow the possibility 5119 03:05:02,950 --> 03:05:00,640 that it might be true it seems to happen 5120 03:05:05,750 --> 03:05:02,960 to more and more and more 5121 03:05:08,469 --> 03:05:05,760 you attract it to yourself by 5122 03:05:09,590 --> 03:05:08,479 recognizing it by it by 5123 03:05:11,590 --> 03:05:09,600 allowing it 5124 03:05:13,510 --> 03:05:11,600 now uh this 5125 03:05:16,230 --> 03:05:13,520 this windshield symbol uh how many books 5126 03:05:18,469 --> 03:05:16,240 ahead will that be linked to 5127 03:05:20,710 --> 03:05:18,479 just just for reference 5128 03:05:21,750 --> 03:05:20,720 let's see i'm trying to think of 5129 03:05:27,110 --> 03:05:21,760 where that 5130 03:05:28,550 --> 03:05:27,120 that that ended up being um 5131 03:05:30,389 --> 03:05:28,560 a portion of the point of origin book 5132 03:05:33,030 --> 03:05:30,399 that is already published 5133 03:05:35,190 --> 03:05:33,040 and it's a book that um 5134 03:05:37,190 --> 03:05:35,200 yeah the point that that's 5135 03:05:39,510 --> 03:05:37,200 one of the ones that i'd read 5136 03:05:41,510 --> 03:05:39,520 to prep for our first one and just to 5137 03:05:43,429 --> 03:05:41,520 give you at least a point of agreement 5138 03:05:44,790 --> 03:05:43,439 there was a point in time early on in my 5139 03:05:47,830 --> 03:05:44,800 masonic career 5140 03:05:51,670 --> 03:05:47,840 when i was a much earlier degree 5141 03:05:53,990 --> 03:05:51,680 and i let's say kind of looked into some 5142 03:05:57,030 --> 03:05:54,000 certain points and certain knowledge 5143 03:05:59,429 --> 03:05:57,040 um that was a little bit advanced 5144 03:06:01,190 --> 03:05:59,439 uh fairly far advanced from what i 5145 03:06:02,070 --> 03:06:01,200 should have been looking into for my 5146 03:06:03,190 --> 03:06:02,080 degree 5147 03:06:04,710 --> 03:06:03,200 and 5148 03:06:05,590 --> 03:06:04,720 you know that 5149 03:06:08,309 --> 03:06:05,600 was 5150 03:06:09,510 --> 03:06:08,319 later on that exact night 5151 03:06:10,710 --> 03:06:09,520 it's 5152 03:06:12,389 --> 03:06:10,720 knowing that there are three three main 5153 03:06:16,710 --> 03:06:12,399 degrees and three uh traditional 5154 03:06:17,510 --> 03:06:16,720 penalties um within those degrees 5155 03:06:20,070 --> 03:06:17,520 uh 5156 03:06:21,510 --> 03:06:20,080 you know there were i 5157 03:06:23,190 --> 03:06:21,520 well i was traveling to my place of 5158 03:06:25,510 --> 03:06:23,200 business at the time which 5159 03:06:28,389 --> 03:06:25,520 it was an after i was nightclub 5160 03:06:29,510 --> 03:06:28,399 uh i had to travel through a very i'm 5161 03:06:31,510 --> 03:06:29,520 going to say 5162 03:06:32,870 --> 03:06:31,520 it's not a bad part of town at least it 5163 03:06:35,190 --> 03:06:32,880 depends on the night and depends on the 5164 03:06:35,990 --> 03:06:35,200 people but i escaped three dangers that 5165 03:06:38,150 --> 03:06:36,000 night 5166 03:06:40,710 --> 03:06:38,160 each one increasingly 5167 03:06:44,309 --> 03:06:42,550 i'm going to say more 5168 03:06:47,269 --> 03:06:44,319 let's see there was uh 5169 03:06:49,110 --> 03:06:47,279 walking through the mall there was a 5170 03:06:50,309 --> 03:06:49,120 crazy man who was speaking all kinds of 5171 03:06:53,670 --> 03:06:50,319 gibberish 5172 03:06:54,790 --> 03:06:53,680 um the second one i forget exactly what 5173 03:06:57,429 --> 03:06:54,800 it was 5174 03:06:59,830 --> 03:06:57,439 and then the third one was i narrowly 5175 03:07:01,750 --> 03:06:59,840 escaped being part of a swarming and 5176 03:07:02,870 --> 03:07:01,760 beat down after getting into a cab and i 5177 03:07:04,870 --> 03:07:02,880 actually witnessed the entire thing 5178 03:07:05,590 --> 03:07:04,880 happen on the side of the street 5179 03:07:11,190 --> 03:07:05,600 and 5180 03:07:13,750 --> 03:07:11,200 nightclub um i met up with my my partner 5181 03:07:16,790 --> 03:07:13,760 and he you know he handed me something 5182 03:07:18,950 --> 03:07:16,800 and it was you know like 5183 03:07:21,190 --> 03:07:18,960 you know he like the report and the 5184 03:07:22,550 --> 03:07:21,200 writing on the report was essentially 5185 03:07:25,269 --> 03:07:22,560 the you know 5186 03:07:29,590 --> 03:07:25,279 uh was a simple symbol of the degree 5187 03:07:31,590 --> 03:07:30,550 and 5188 03:07:41,429 --> 03:07:31,600 i 5189 03:07:44,630 --> 03:07:41,439 that 5190 03:07:48,469 --> 03:07:46,230 especially for somebody who's new to it 5191 03:07:51,510 --> 03:07:48,479 it's hard for them to get past 5192 03:07:53,510 --> 03:07:51,520 no i took it as a clear and present um 5193 03:07:55,110 --> 03:07:53,520 you know a clear and present 5194 03:07:56,150 --> 03:07:55,120 message from the universe to saying like 5195 03:07:58,630 --> 03:07:56,160 you're 5196 03:07:59,590 --> 03:07:58,640 looking into stuff that is a deep wide 5197 03:08:01,910 --> 03:07:59,600 chasm 5198 03:08:04,950 --> 03:08:01,920 um with an endless bottom and you are 5199 03:08:06,870 --> 03:08:04,960 not ready to see this yet 5200 03:08:08,389 --> 03:08:06,880 so now 5201 03:08:10,710 --> 03:08:08,399 just just a couple more things before we 5202 03:08:13,429 --> 03:08:10,720 finish off for the night um 5203 03:08:15,269 --> 03:08:13,439 the wayne leonard who is a regular 5204 03:08:17,510 --> 03:08:15,279 listener on the show he's asking about 5205 03:08:19,830 --> 03:08:17,520 the elephant slab which uh you may or 5206 03:08:23,030 --> 03:08:19,840 may not have heard of it's apparently 5207 03:08:24,550 --> 03:08:23,040 at the arizona university or arizona 5208 03:08:27,750 --> 03:08:24,560 um 5209 03:08:29,510 --> 03:08:27,760 and it was found in new mexico actually 5210 03:08:31,190 --> 03:08:29,520 i think it was found in new mexico 5211 03:08:33,349 --> 03:08:31,200 and uh 5212 03:08:36,389 --> 03:08:33,359 there's no prior documentation to it of 5213 03:08:38,630 --> 03:08:36,399 from before 1950 there are only drawings 5214 03:08:40,550 --> 03:08:38,640 of it but no actual pictures 5215 03:08:42,870 --> 03:08:40,560 and apparently the 5216 03:08:44,309 --> 03:08:42,880 symbols and writing on it are very close 5217 03:08:46,830 --> 03:08:44,319 to cuneiform 5218 03:08:50,790 --> 03:08:46,840 have do you have any familiarity with 5219 03:08:51,910 --> 03:08:50,800 this um no i don't and the cuneiform 5220 03:08:54,710 --> 03:08:51,920 language 5221 03:08:56,150 --> 03:08:54,720 i haven't studied um 5222 03:08:58,150 --> 03:08:56,160 it's like one of the things on the list 5223 03:08:59,990 --> 03:08:58,160 i know that there was a symbolic 5224 03:09:01,670 --> 03:09:00,000 language prior to cuneiform which would 5225 03:09:06,469 --> 03:09:01,680 really be the language that i would want 5226 03:09:08,950 --> 03:09:06,479 to focus on if if i were to study it 5227 03:09:10,790 --> 03:09:08,960 but i haven't devoted any direct 5228 03:09:11,910 --> 03:09:10,800 effort to it just incidental information 5229 03:09:17,590 --> 03:09:11,920 about 5230 03:09:23,990 --> 03:09:17,600 um 5231 03:09:25,510 --> 03:09:24,000 depending on where where the artifact 5232 03:09:27,349 --> 03:09:25,520 was found 5233 03:09:28,790 --> 03:09:27,359 and what culture was connected to i 5234 03:09:29,990 --> 03:09:28,800 might be able to figure some things out 5235 03:09:31,670 --> 03:09:30,000 about it there's a lot that can be 5236 03:09:33,269 --> 03:09:31,680 learned just from 5237 03:09:34,710 --> 03:09:33,279 a dictionary of the language of the 5238 03:09:37,750 --> 03:09:34,720 group especially if it's an ancient 5239 03:09:42,230 --> 03:09:40,070 um but i don't have any off

--> 03:11:14,399 what we were talking about 5280 03:11:17,590 --> 03:11:16,560 that as i was doing the research for the 5281 03:11:19,590 --> 03:11:17,600 book 5282 03:11:22,389 --> 03:11:19,600 the sources that were leading me to the 5283 03:11:24,309 --> 03:11:22,399 information were themselves describing 5284 03:11:26,389 --> 03:11:24,319 thing after thing as being the point of 5285 03:11:28,150 --> 03:11:26,399 origin of such and such here's the point 5286 03:11:30,150 --> 03:11:28,160 of origin of agriculture because the 5287 03:11:32,710 --> 03:11:30,160 point of origin of metallurgy is the 5288 03:11:34,870 --> 03:11:32,720 point of origin of and just 5289 03:11:36,309 --> 03:11:34,880 resource after resource these authors 5290 03:11:37,750 --> 03:11:36,319 where each independently describing 5291 03:11:38,710 --> 03:11:37,760 something at the point of origin of 5292 03:11:41,030 --> 03:11:38,720 something 5293 03:11:42,790 --> 03:11:41,040 so by the time the book was finished 5294 03:11:44,630 --> 03:11:42,800 i had the title for the book it had to 5295 03:11:47,110 --> 03:11:44,640 be pointed forward and the title went 5296 03:11:48,070 --> 03:11:47,120 with the material hand in hand 5297 03:11:49,510 --> 03:11:48,080 and so 5298 03:11:51,190 --> 03:11:49,520 when i submitted the manuscript to the 5299 03:11:54,070 --> 03:11:51,200 publisher i said that upfront i said 5300 03:11:55,670 --> 03:11:54,080 look this material unfortunately comes 5301 03:11:58,790 --> 03:11:55,680 with a title i know you like to assign 5302 03:12:00,710 --> 03:11:58,800 titles but if you're going to accept the 5303 03:12:02,870 --> 03:12:00,720 submission you i need you to accept 5304 03:12:04,790 --> 03:12:02,880 point of origin as the title of it and 5305 03:12:06,790 --> 03:12:04,800 they sort of yes yes yes me all the way 5306 03:12:08,870 --> 03:12:06,800 along until it came down to actually 5307 03:12:10,469 --> 03:12:08,880 signing the title at which point they 5308 03:12:12,790 --> 03:12:10,479 did everything they could to sort of arm 5309 03:12:14,630 --> 03:12:12,800 twist me into making it point of origin 5310 03:12:15,990 --> 03:12:14,640 go back to tepe because we go back to 5311 03:12:19,269 --> 03:12:16,000 tepe was the 5312 03:12:21,030 --> 03:12:19,279 hot topic of the moment but i felt that 5313 03:12:22,870 --> 03:12:21,040 adding go back to tape on the end of it 5314 03:12:23,830 --> 03:12:22,880 only limited the audience didn't expand 5315 03:12:25,910 --> 03:12:23,840 it 5316 03:12:27,190 --> 03:12:25,920 and so i finally had to say them you 5317 03:12:29,190 --> 03:12:27,200 know if 5318 03:12:31,190 --> 03:12:29,200 if it's a deal breaker you know this was 5319 03:12:33,269 --> 03:12:31,200 a prerequisite of the submission if you 5320 03:12:35,429 --> 03:12:33,279 see this as a deal breaker 5321 03:12:36,389 --> 03:12:35,439 i'm sorry that that's the truth but but 5322 03:12:38,710 --> 03:12:36,399 that's the way it's going to be the 5323 03:12:41,190 --> 03:12:38,720 material needs this title it's not my 5324 03:12:43,910 --> 03:12:41,200 choice they came together 5325 03:12:46,150 --> 03:12:43,920 and they finally respected that 5326 03:12:48,550 --> 03:12:46,160 and it also kind of goes to how i i 5327 03:12:49,750 --> 03:12:48,560 think i stopped actually naming shows 5328 03:12:52,070 --> 03:12:49,760 um 5329 03:12:53,590 --> 03:12:52,080 based on well i think except for the the 5330 03:12:56,070 --> 03:12:53,600 show we had with the rocky stucci 5331 03:12:58,389 --> 03:12:56,080 because you know you've got a guy whose 5332 03:13:00,710 --> 03:12:58,399 show we're trying to help get out there 5333 03:13:01,910 --> 03:13:00,720 and it was literally his show for that 5334 03:13:03,349 --> 03:13:01,920 episode so 5335 03:13:04,790 --> 03:13:03,359 that was the only one we had based on 5336 03:13:06,870 --> 03:13:04,800 that actual subject matter whereas 5337 03:13:07,830 --> 03:13:06,880 everything else has been more fun 5338 03:13:09,910 --> 03:13:07,840 um 5339 03:13:12,309 --> 03:13:09,920 uh metaphorical names like you know this 5340 03:13:13,429 --> 03:13:12,319 was today's episode was a breed links to 5341 03:13:15,750 --> 03:13:13,439 the past 5342 03:13:16,710 --> 03:13:15,760 which goes back to the whole covered 5343 03:13:18,950 --> 03:13:16,720 over 5344 03:13:20,469 --> 03:13:18,960 uh and considering the subject matter we 5345 03:13:22,070 --> 03:13:20,479 just talked about 5346 03:13:23,269 --> 03:13:22,080 you know there's a lot 5347 03:13:26,790 --> 03:13:23,279 buried 5348 03:13:29,670 --> 03:13:26,800 and how it links to our past and 5349 03:13:30,870 --> 03:13:29,680 well it's uh you know go goes back to 5350 03:13:35,110 --> 03:13:30,880 the whole 5351 03:13:36,870 --> 03:13:35,120 discovering information or just having 5352 03:13:38,710 --> 03:13:36,880 it fed to you through the ether or fed 5353 03:13:40,070 --> 03:13:38,720 to anyone through the ether 5354 03:13:43,030 --> 03:13:40,080 um now 5355 03:13:45,670 --> 03:13:43,040 while we're waiting uh if i know 5356 03:13:49,910 --> 03:13:45,680 who asked that question 5357 03:13:50,870 --> 03:13:49,920 let's see uh cosmodub says um 5358 03:13:52,550 --> 03:13:50,880 uh 5359 03:13:55,349 --> 03:13:52,560 let's see new drinking game every single 5360 03:13:57,429 --> 03:13:55,359 time chris says he's a mason take a shot 5361 03:13:59,510 --> 03:13:57,439 okay yeah put that one in there 5362 03:14:00,870 --> 03:13:59,520 um 5363 03:14:03,429 --> 03:14:00,880 okay actually no so while you're waiting 5364 03:14:07,510 --> 03:14:03,439 uh what about good versus error and not 5365 03:14:07,520 --> 03:14:11,750 well where later traditions 5366 03:14:18,070 --> 03:14:15,590 see an opposition between good and evil 5367 03:14:20,710 --> 03:14:18,080 the archaic philosophy 5368 03:14:23,110 --> 03:14:20,720 has expressed by the dogan and in a 5369 03:14:25,110 --> 03:14:23,120 tradition called samkhya 5370 03:14:26,309 --> 03:14:25,120 the opposition is between truth and 5371 03:14:28,229 --> 03:14:26,319 error 5372 03:14:30,870 --> 03:14:28,239 not good and evil 5373 03:14:32,150 --> 03:14:30,880 now there's a the implication to that is 5374 03:14:35,110 --> 03:14:32,160 i mean certain there are huge 5375 03:14:38,229 --> 03:14:35,120 implications to that first of all 5376 03:14:41,190 --> 03:14:38,239 without a concept of good and evil being 5377 03:14:42,950 --> 03:14:41,200 central to your religion it's not really 5378 03:14:43,910 --> 03:14:42,960 possible to have a concept of a heaven 5379 03:14:45,429 --> 03:14:43,920 or hell 5380 03:14:47,830 --> 03:14:45,439 it's not really possible to have a 5381 03:14:49,510 --> 03:14:47,840 concept of sin 5382 03:14:54,630 --> 03:14:49,520 truth and error 5383 03:14:59,349 --> 03:14:56,070 opposition 5384 03:15:00,550 --> 03:14:59,359 and it's in keeping with the outlook of 5385 03:15:02,469 --> 03:15:00,560 the entire tradition which is 5386 03:15:07,190 --> 03:15:02,479 non-judgmental 5387 03:15:07,200 --> 03:15:10,229 uh 5388 03:15:13,670 --> 03:15:12,070 help and don't hurt sort of 5389 03:15:15,349 --> 03:15:13,680 mindset 5390 03:15:18,870 --> 03:15:15,359 um they're not trying not trying to 5391 03:15:21,750 --> 03:15:20,630 help people along 5392 03:15:23,429 --> 03:15:21,760 um 5393 03:15:25,510 --> 03:15:23,439 so the the truth and error concept is 5394 03:15:27,349 --> 03:15:25,520 something i try to keep in mind that's 5395 03:15:29,110 --> 03:15:27,359 the outlook i try to have on 5396 03:15:30,309 --> 03:15:29,120 on the world doesn't even say truth in 5397 03:15:31,830 --> 03:15:30,319 lies 5398 03:15:34,389 --> 03:15:31,840 there's an implication of lying that 5399 03:15:36,309 --> 03:15:34,399 isn't there with error it's basically 5400 03:15:40,309 --> 03:15:36,319 saying either you if you have the right 5401 03:15:45,030 --> 03:15:42,309 it's like the uh what they tried to 5402 03:15:48,309 --> 03:15:45,040 instill in us in advertising which was 5403 03:15:50,389 --> 03:15:48,319 you know it's okay to make mistakes um 5404 03:15:53,190 --> 03:15:50,399 you know failing isn't bad it teaches 5405 03:15:54,309 --> 03:15:53,200 you how to be better down the road 5406 03:15:56,870 --> 03:15:54,319 right 5407 03:15:59,269 --> 03:15:56,880 and most importantly i learned from my 5408 03:16:01,510 --> 03:15:59,279 upbringing in oregon and 5409 03:16:03,429 --> 03:16:01,520 from visits to other places in the world 5410 03:16:06,229 --> 03:16:03,439 that have a similar outlook 5411 03:16:08,309 --> 03:16:06,239 the incredible value in a societal 5412 03:16:10,790 --> 03:16:08,319 expectation that people 5413 03:16:13,030 --> 03:16:10,800 are going to do the ethical and the 5414 03:16:14,630 --> 03:16:13,040 right thing 5415 03:16:17,429 --> 03:16:14,640 and so 5416 03:16:19,429 --> 03:16:17,439 the castings in terms of truth and error 5417 03:16:20,710 --> 03:16:19,439 doesn't even allow it's not even framing 5418 03:16:25,510 --> 03:16:20,720 the idea that you might have 5419 03:16:29,030 --> 03:16:27,349 okay um 5420 03:16:31,510 --> 03:16:29,040 when you have a societal expectation 5421 03:16:33,349 --> 03:16:31,520 like that 5422 03:16:35,830 --> 03:16:33,359 becomes possible to not lock doors of 5423 03:16:37,750 --> 03:16:35,840 houses and it becomes possible to leave 5424 03:16:40,070 --> 03:16:37,760 valuable things out where and know that 5425 03:16:41,830 --> 03:16:40,080 nobody's going to pick them up 5426 03:16:43,429 --> 03:16:41,840 it becomes possible to trust the guy who 5427 03:16:44,950 --> 03:16:43,439 wants to give you a ride because your 5428 03:16:47,429 --> 03:16:44,960 car broke down 5429 03:16:49,190 --> 03:16:47,439 all sorts of good things accrue from 5430 03:16:51,510 --> 03:16:49,200 a societal expectation of doing the 5431 03:16:53,990 --> 03:16:51,520 right thing that the guy who's the head 5432 03:16:56,550 --> 03:16:54,000 of the top corporation doesn't try to do 5433 03:16:59,030 --> 03:16:56,560 unethical things because everyone around 5434 03:16:59,830 --> 03:16:59,040 him is expecting that he won't 5435 03:17:03,190 --> 03:16:59,840 and 5436 03:17:05,429 --> 03:17:03,200 if he were to get caught doing that 5437 03:17:06,790 --> 03:17:05,439 everything in his in his life his world 5438 03:17:08,550 --> 03:17:06,800 falls down 5439 03:17:10,870 --> 03:17:08,560 if he doesn't uphold that 5440 03:17:12,469 --> 03:17:10,880 and it's not a religious expectation 5441 03:17:14,950 --> 03:17:12,479 it's not you're going to be you're going 5442 03:17:17,990 --> 03:17:14,960 to go to hell if you do the wrong thing 5443 03:17:20,150 --> 03:17:18,000 it's really a question of 5444 03:17:20,950 --> 03:17:20,160 responsibility to the people around you 5445 03:17:22,870 --> 03:17:20,960 and 5446 03:17:28,070 --> 03:17:22,880 being seen as having 5447 03:17:32,229 --> 03:17:29,830 and is this something that is you know 5448 03:17:35,590 --> 03:17:32,239 is not like you you wish were shown more 5449 03:17:35,600 --> 03:17:38,950 is this something that you'd wish 5450 03:17:44,710 --> 03:17:42,309 oh um no and this 5451 03:17:47,750 --> 03:17:44,720 uh i didn't have any expectations about 5452 03:17:49,750 --> 03:17:47,760 um about today so well no not not to 5453 03:17:51,750 --> 03:17:49,760 well today being you know the current uh 5454 03:17:53,030 --> 03:17:51,760 atmosphere especially with uh with 5455 03:17:54,950 --> 03:17:53,040 everything that's going on in the united 5456 03:17:55,990 --> 03:17:54,960 states with you know the deep political 5457 03:17:57,830 --> 03:17:56,000 divisions 5458 03:17:59,830 --> 03:17:57,840 uh between right 5459 03:18:01,349 --> 03:17:59,840 the challenge is to bring it back around 5460 03:18:03,110 --> 03:18:01,359 to the point where 5461 03:18:04,630 --> 03:18:03,120 um 5462 03:18:06,469 --> 03:18:04,640 well first of all it's not possible to 5463 03:18:08,070 --> 03:18:06,479 bring a background to the point of 5464 03:18:10,229 --> 03:18:08,080 personal responsibility if you can't 5465 03:18:12,150 --> 03:18:10,239 bring things around to a truth if people 5466 03:18:14,469 --> 03:18:12,160 won't it won't 5467 03:18:16,389 --> 03:18:14,479 allow for the possibility that there's a 5468 03:18:19,910 --> 03:18:16,399 truth to an issue 5469 03:18:21,590 --> 03:18:19,920 then there's no way to get agreement on 5470 03:18:22,710 --> 03:18:21,600 what behavior should be 5471 03:18:24,870 --> 03:18:22,720 and so 5472 03:18:26,389 --> 03:18:24,880 focus has to be on principles and you 5473 03:18:29,190 --> 03:18:26,399 have to get agreement on what what 5474 03:18:30,630 --> 03:18:29,200 principle a person is endorsing 5475 03:18:32,950 --> 03:18:30,640 to be able to 5476 03:18:34,630 --> 03:18:32,960 to start to foster that kind of a an 5477 03:18:36,550 --> 03:18:34,640 outlook 5478 03:18:39,590 --> 03:18:36,560 really 5479 03:18:41,510 --> 03:18:39,600 i have confidence that things will come 5480 03:18:43,830 --> 03:18:41,520 back around but it's gonna have to hit 5481 03:18:46,389 --> 03:18:43,840 bottom first 5482 03:18:48,389 --> 03:18:46,399 uh no i have um an individual who's i'm 5483 03:18:50,070 --> 03:18:48,399 waiting for him to add me to skype or at 5484 03:18:52,389 --> 03:18:50,080 least give me his skype name so i can 5485 03:18:54,469 --> 03:18:52,399 add him because apparently if the way 5486 03:18:56,070 --> 03:18:54,479 that skype is now and i understand why 5487 03:18:58,389 --> 03:18:56,080 jimmy church has 5488 03:18:59,750 --> 03:18:58,399 you know skype versions archived that

volume on your 5514 03:20:05,590 --> 03:20:02,399 side oh wait yes absolutely 5515 03:20:09,910 --> 03:20:07,429 okay perfect let's see that delay is 5516 03:20:12,150 --> 03:20:09,920 wicked yeah it um i think i almost had 5517 03:20:13,590 --> 03:20:12,160 my my computer fry itself with that but 5518 03:20:15,590 --> 03:20:13,600 okay go ahead go ahead what was your 5519 03:20:18,389 --> 03:20:15,600 question 5520 03:20:20,790 --> 03:20:18,399 yeah so i was really curious to uh hear 5521 03:20:23,349 --> 03:20:20,800 more about something that laird had 5522 03:20:27,349 --> 03:20:23,359 mentioned in an earlier conversation 5523 03:20:29,349 --> 03:20:27,359 about the elements and how most mostly 5524 03:20:31,269 --> 03:20:29,359 we think about earth wind fire etc but 5525 03:20:33,750 --> 03:20:31,279 there's this other connection to the 5526 03:20:36,229 --> 03:20:33,760 ancient egyptian version of you know 5527 03:20:38,389 --> 03:20:36,239 insects for like a beast birds and so 5528 03:20:40,309 --> 03:20:38,399 forth i'm just curious to uh hear a 5529 03:20:41,750 --> 03:20:40,319 little more about that if you 5530 03:20:43,590 --> 03:20:41,760 have some additional thoughts you could 5531 03:20:46,710 --> 03:20:43,600 offer 5532 03:20:48,790 --> 03:20:46,720 okay imagine that you were trying to 5533 03:20:51,110 --> 03:20:48,800 um convey a set of information to 5534 03:20:56,070 --> 03:20:51,120 somebody 5535 03:20:59,030 --> 03:20:57,190 imagine you were trying to convey 5536 03:21:01,030 --> 03:20:59,040 information to somebody in the future 5537 03:21:02,630 --> 03:21:01,040 but you had no idea 5538 03:21:04,469 --> 03:21:02,640 what their frame of reference was going 5539 03:21:06,150 --> 03:21:04,479 to be 5540 03:21:08,150 --> 03:21:06,160 and so 5541 03:21:12,389 --> 03:21:08,160 you're trying to if you're going to try 5542 03:21:16,229 --> 03:21:14,150 that's going to be more universal which 5543 03:21:18,309 --> 03:21:16,239 is what the symbolism really is it's an 5544 03:21:20,710 --> 03:21:18,319 attempt to convey things in a generic 5545 03:21:24,150 --> 03:21:20,720 way not in 5546 03:21:26,950 --> 03:21:24,160 not in terms of a specific language 5547 03:21:29,269 --> 03:21:26,960 what the cosmology does is 5548 03:21:31,349 --> 03:21:29,279 it frames things in multiple ways it's 5549 03:21:33,670 --> 03:21:31,359 like the cubit two representations of 5550 03:21:36,550 --> 03:21:33,680 how to measure it every concept is 5551 03:21:38,229 --> 03:21:36,560 presented in multiple ways hoping that 5552 03:21:39,830 --> 03:21:38,239 one of the metaphors is going to get 5553 03:21:41,590 --> 03:21:39,840 through to us we're going to understand 5554 03:21:43,670 --> 03:21:41,600 what they're talking about because of 5555 03:21:45,349 --> 03:21:43,680 the thing they compared it to 5556 03:21:46,150 --> 03:21:45,359 and 5557 03:21:48,710 --> 03:21:46,160 so 5558 03:21:51,110 --> 03:21:48,720 in dougan culture there's a 5559 03:21:53,110 --> 03:21:51,120 the basis for this is a generic metaphor 5560 03:21:55,429 --> 03:21:53,120 that's given in relation to 5561 03:21:58,150 --> 03:21:55,439 concepts of building a house we're back 5562 03:21:59,830 --> 03:21:58,160 to the scarab ray house 5563 03:22:02,389 --> 03:21:59,840 the 5564 03:22:03,830 --> 03:22:02,399 first stage of it's really i really more 5565 03:22:05,990 --> 03:22:03,840 related to the idea of drawing an 5566 03:22:07,750 --> 03:22:06,000 architectural plan for warehouse if 5567 03:22:09,990 --> 03:22:07,760 you've ever if you've ever done an 5568 03:22:10,870 --> 03:22:10,000 architectural drawing you begin with end 5569 03:22:13,349 --> 03:22:10,880 points 5570 03:22:15,830 --> 03:22:13,359 of the structure you know 5571 03:22:18,630 --> 03:22:15,840 dots at the corners and and where the 5572 03:22:20,469 --> 03:22:18,640 junctures are the doorways and so forth 5573 03:22:22,950 --> 03:22:20,479 the second phase is to add additional 5574 03:22:24,389 --> 03:22:22,960 points to flesh out the 5575 03:22:28,950 --> 03:22:24,399 details of the 5576 03:22:30,950 --> 03:22:28,960 the third stage is to draw lines between 5577 03:22:33,429 --> 03:22:30,960 the points to have an outline of the 5578 03:22:36,070 --> 03:22:33,439 structure and the last phase is the 5579 03:22:40,710 --> 03:22:38,710 that's one metaphor 5580 03:22:42,870 --> 03:22:40,720 now that metaphor gets repeated a number 5581 03:22:45,510 --> 03:22:42,880 of different ways one is water fire wind 5582 03:22:47,990 --> 03:22:45,520 and earth which 5583 03:22:51,030 --> 03:22:48,000 allows us to 5584 03:22:52,469 --> 03:22:51,040 categorize symbols if there's a 5585 03:22:54,070 --> 03:22:52,479 symbolic reference that pertains to 5586 03:22:55,670 --> 03:22:54,080 water you know they're talking about the 5587 03:22:59,510 --> 03:22:55,680 first 5588 03:23:00,950 --> 03:22:59,520 creation if they're talking about earth 5589 03:23:03,590 --> 03:23:00,960 they're talking about the last quarter 5590 03:23:06,150 --> 03:23:03,600 of of the processes of creation 5591 03:23:08,229 --> 03:23:06,160 another one pertains to the animal world 5592 03:23:09,190 --> 03:23:08,239 it goes insects 5593 03:23:12,070 --> 03:23:09,200 fish 5594 03:23:13,590 --> 03:23:12,080 four-legged animals and birds 5595 03:23:15,670 --> 03:23:13,600 that one's helpful when we look at the 5596 03:23:18,550 --> 03:23:15,680 egyptian gods because 5597 03:23:21,110 --> 03:23:18,560 the gods have heads of animals 5598 03:23:24,229 --> 03:23:21,120 kepper who has that of an insect 5599 03:23:26,229 --> 03:23:24,239 represents the concept of non-uh 5600 03:23:27,750 --> 03:23:26,239 non-existence coming into existence and 5601 03:23:30,870 --> 03:23:27,760 that in the first 5602 03:23:33,429 --> 03:23:30,880 the four stages of creation thoth who's 5603 03:23:35,670 --> 03:23:33,439 the god of the word which is sort of the 5604 03:23:37,990 --> 03:23:35,680 culmination of process of creation as 5605 03:23:39,510 --> 03:23:38,000 compared to a word 5606 03:23:42,229 --> 03:23:39,520 represents 5607 03:23:44,710 --> 03:23:42,239 his symbolism falls in the top quarter 5608 03:23:46,710 --> 03:23:44,720 of the register and so these metaphors 5609 03:23:48,950 --> 03:23:46,720 are there to help us categorize things 5610 03:23:51,670 --> 03:23:48,960 another one's given in terms of four 5611 03:23:55,269 --> 03:23:51,680 stages of the growth of a plant from a 5612 03:23:57,590 --> 03:23:55,279 seed to finally to a grown plant another 5613 03:24:00,229 --> 03:23:57,600 one is given in relation to the 5614 03:24:02,389 --> 03:24:00,239 formation of a spoken word 5615 03:24:05,830 --> 03:24:02,399 our formation of a word in general it 5616 03:24:07,830 --> 03:24:05,840 begins with a a sign and ends with 5617 03:24:10,229 --> 03:24:07,840 a word 5618 03:24:11,590 --> 03:24:10,239 so these different metaphors 5619 03:24:13,510 --> 03:24:11,600 once you understand that they're all 5620 03:24:14,790 --> 03:24:13,520 talking about the same thing it makes it 5621 03:24:16,790 --> 03:24:14,800 much easier 5622 03:24:18,389 --> 03:24:16,800 to sort through the complicated 5623 03:24:20,710 --> 03:24:18,399 symbolism that's going on because you 5624 03:24:26,389 --> 03:24:20,720 can say okay you can file things where 5625 03:24:32,389 --> 03:24:28,309 hope that helps 5626 03:24:36,229 --> 03:24:35,030 yes i am okay and did that did that come 5627 03:24:37,990 --> 03:24:36,239 through clear this the first time we've 5628 03:24:39,510 --> 03:24:38,000 had we've taken a a caller in this 5629 03:24:43,220 --> 03:24:39,520 manner it's a new system tonight so i 5630 03:24:43,230 --> 03:24:57,110 [Music] 5631 03:25:02,790 --> 03:24:58,469 sorry about that i just got some 5632 03:25:02,800 --> 03:25:07,590 sorry one second 5633 03:25:12,950 --> 03:25:09,910 all right go ahead 5634 03:25:17,349 --> 03:25:14,950 that was great thank you so much for uh 5635 03:25:19,110 --> 03:25:17,359 bringing that back in and then my my 5636 03:25:21,750 --> 03:25:19,120 other question was if cleric's been 5637 03:25:23,830 --> 03:25:21,760 looking at anything here within uh north 5638 03:25:26,469 --> 03:25:23,840 america lately or if there's anything 5639 03:25:28,950 --> 03:25:26,479 maybe in the pipeline uh related to 5640 03:25:32,389 --> 03:25:28,960 north american culture and 5641 03:25:35,190 --> 03:25:32,399 myths of say the inuits or hopi um the 5642 03:25:38,870 --> 03:25:35,200 puebloans down in chaco anything along 5643 03:25:40,870 --> 03:25:38,880 those lines that we can look forward to 5644 03:25:45,670 --> 03:25:40,880 um 5645 03:25:47,429 --> 03:25:45,680 one of the things i do in the maori book 5646 03:25:49,590 --> 03:25:47,439 are actually in the scarborough book and 5647 03:25:51,349 --> 03:25:49,600 the continuing the maori book 5648 03:25:52,630 --> 03:25:51,359 is i trace these 5649 03:25:54,950 --> 03:25:52,640 pygmy 5650 03:25:57,910 --> 03:25:54,960 teachers of the dogan in later eras down 5651 03:25:59,990 --> 03:25:57,920 into the uk further into scotland and 5652 03:26:03,030 --> 03:26:00,000 and ireland and the uk 5653 03:26:04,950 --> 03:26:03,040 and the tradition in ireland is 5654 03:26:07,110 --> 03:26:04,960 that 5655 03:26:09,990 --> 03:26:07,120 these pygmies are associated with the 5656 03:26:11,910 --> 03:26:10,000 picts or possibly even with the fairy 5657 03:26:14,229 --> 03:26:11,920 traditions in the uk 5658 03:26:17,269 --> 03:26:14,239 and the perspective is that they were 5659 03:26:19,110 --> 03:26:17,279 forced to leave the uk and they left 5660 03:26:20,790 --> 03:26:19,120 one that says they left across the 5661 03:26:22,389 --> 03:26:20,800 western ocean 5662 03:26:24,070 --> 03:26:22,399 the other went by boat 5663 03:26:25,510 --> 03:26:24,080 the other one says that they went to the 5664 03:26:27,030 --> 03:26:25,520 underworld 5665 03:26:28,550 --> 03:26:27,040 now you go to 5666 03:26:31,750 --> 03:26:28,560 new zealand 5667 03:26:34,469 --> 03:26:31,760 and you have a similar tradition of 5668 03:26:36,790 --> 03:26:34,479 pygmies that are associated with fairies 5669 03:26:39,750 --> 03:26:36,800 but their perspective is that these 5670 03:26:42,150 --> 03:26:39,760 pygmies came by boat across the western 5671 03:26:44,070 --> 03:26:42,160 or across the from the eastern 5672 03:26:46,469 --> 03:26:44,080 uh side of the ocean 5673 03:26:49,030 --> 03:26:46,479 and the ancient name for new zealand 5674 03:26:50,710 --> 03:26:49,040 means uh can be interpreted to mean uh 5675 03:26:52,389 --> 03:26:50,720 first circle of the underworld that's 5676 03:26:55,190 --> 03:26:52,399 one of the the traditional 5677 03:26:57,190 --> 03:26:55,200 interpretations of it so 5678 03:27:00,150 --> 03:26:57,200 the new zealand side captures both 5679 03:27:02,070 --> 03:27:00,160 aspects of the ireland myth 5680 03:27:03,990 --> 03:27:02,080 and you can see that there's a likely 5681 03:27:05,990 --> 03:27:04,000 path of trans transmission here there's 5682 03:27:08,630 --> 03:27:06,000 a lot of other comparisons to be made 5683 03:27:10,469 --> 03:27:08,640 but um along the way there are lots of 5684 03:27:12,469 --> 03:27:10,479 other points where it looks like we have 5685 03:27:15,990 --> 03:27:12,479 signs of them you can see it with 5686 03:27:17,990 --> 03:27:16,000 the cherokee indians um i'm very 5687 03:27:19,910 --> 03:27:18,000 frequently in contact with gary david 5688 03:27:21,110 --> 03:27:19,920 about commonalities between the hopi 5689 03:27:22,309 --> 03:27:21,120 indian and 5690 03:27:23,510 --> 03:27:22,319 the dogen 5691 03:27:26,830 --> 03:27:23,520 um 5692 03:27:27,830 --> 03:27:26,840 symbols and words and traditions uh 5693 03:27:29,910 --> 03:27:27,840 i um 5694 03:27:31,590 --> 03:27:29,920 exchanged a couple emails with him just 5695 03:27:34,870 --> 03:27:31,600 in the last weekend he and graham 5696 03:27:37,190 --> 03:27:34,880 hancock were together in arizona 5697 03:27:41,510 --> 03:27:39,269 i see signs that they were in south 5698 03:27:43,510 --> 03:27:41,520 central and south america we see signs 5699 03:27:46,630 --> 03:27:43,520 of the monisto island in other places in 5700 03:27:50,309 --> 03:27:46,640 polynesia in hawaii places like that you 5701 03:27:52,070 --> 03:27:50,319 see signs of them in australia 5702 03:27:54,389 --> 03:27:52,080 so 5703 03:27:55,990 --> 03:27:54,399 any indirectly yes there are mentions of 5704 03:27:57,830 --> 03:27:56,000 this stuff i haven't actually written a 5705 03:27:58,630 --> 03:27:57,840 book a focused book 5706 03:28:06,070 --> 03:27:58,640 on 5707 03:28:10,630 --> 03:28:08,150 a siberian yurt 5708 03:28:13,750 --> 03:28:10,640 and a navajo round house one form of 5709 03:28:15,990 --> 03:28:13,760 siberian yurt has the same architectural 5710 03:28:17,190 --> 03:28:16,000 plan and symbolism as a navajo 5711 03:28:19,269 --> 03:28:17,200 roundhouse 5712 03:28:22,070 --> 03:28:19,279 now there's another form of siberian 5713 03:28:24,469 --> 03:28:22,080 yurt or mongolian yurt 5714 03:28:26,469 --> 03:28:24,479 that is called a tp 5715 03:28:28,229 --> 03:28:26,479 and it's built like a north american 5716 03:28:29,750 --> 03:28:28,239 indian tv 5717 03:28:31,670 --> 03:28:29,760 so 5718 03:28:33,349 --> 03:28:31,680 we can tell simply to the architecture 5719 03:28:35,110 --> 03:28:33,359 that there's got to be connections there 5720 03:28:36,830 --> 03:28:35,120 these are these are these can't be 5721 03:28:39,750 --> 03:28:36,840 coincidental this can these are 5722 03:28:42,389 --> 03:28:39,760 signatures that imply that 5723 03:28:44,870 --> 03:28:42,399 there was a connection between asia and 5724 03:28:48,550 --> 03:28:44,880 north america at some point after 10 000 5725 03:28:52,229 --> 03:28:50,070 uh you know that that's that's a 5726 03:28:54,150 --> 03:28:52,239 fantastic answer for for for that 5727 03:28:56,150 --> 03:28:54,160 particular question um especially 5728 03:28:58,389 --> 03:28:56,160 dealing with with the hopi indians 5729 03:29:00,550 --> 03:28:58,399 and and the possible connections now uh 5730 03:29:03,269 --> 03:29:00,560 i think i fixed the problem i may have 5731 03:29:05,510 --> 03:29:03,279 actually turned up one channel too high 5732 03:29:07,910 --> 03:29:05,520 and that caused kind of a feedback loop 5733 03:29:09,750 --> 03:29:07,920 so i turned that down so wayne i if you 5734 03:29:12,309 --> 03:29:09,760 want to chime in i think i've got you 5735 03:29:14,309 --> 03:29:12,319 sorted out 5736 03:29:16,070 --> 03:29:14,319 great yeah no thank you so much for that 5737 03:29:17,429 --> 03:29:16,080 answer there that was really interesting 5738 03:29:18,229 --> 03:29:17,439 that was exactly what i was curious 5739 03:29:19,429 --> 03:29:18,239 about 5740 03:29:21,590 --> 03:29:19,439 um 5741 03:29:23,269 --> 03:29:21,600 no i yeah i have lots of other questions 5742 03:29:24,790 --> 03:29:23,279 but i know i've gone quite a while so 5743 03:29:27,510 --> 03:29:24,800 i'm not sure if anybody else might want 5744 03:29:30,790 --> 03:29:27,520 to jump in but thank you so much for for 5745 03:29:33,269 --> 03:29:30,800 the books i'm looking forward to them 5746 03:29:34,630 --> 03:29:33,279 and uh wayne so thank you very much i 5747 03:29:37,670 --> 03:29:34,640 think we're just going to take one more 5748 03:29:39,750 --> 03:29:37,680 question and i know it said laird and i 5749 03:29:41,510 --> 03:29:39,760 are both on the eastern coast uh which 5750 03:29:42,710 --> 03:29:41,520 is eastern standard time 5751 03:29:44,630 --> 03:29:42,720 and 5752 03:29:45,910 --> 03:29:44,640 uh you you've done coast to coast a.m 5753 03:29:47,670 --> 03:29:45,920 which i know is like three o'clock or 5754 03:29:49,349 --> 03:29:47,680 four o'clock in the morning and we don't 5755 03:29:51,990 --> 03:29:49,359 want to get to that point uh my wife 5756 03:29:54,710 --> 03:29:52,000 would kill me if i go much longer so 5757 03:29:57,510 --> 03:29:56,550 um 5758 03:29:59,590 --> 03:29:57,520 so 5759 03:30:01,349 --> 03:29:59,600 cosmo if um 5760 03:30:02,389 --> 03:30:01,359 let's see there was one question causing 5761 03:30:03,830 --> 03:30:02,399 my head this will be the last question 5762 03:30:06,870 --> 03:30:03,840 tonight we're gonna finish things off 5763 03:30:08,070 --> 03:30:06,880 here uh in relation to earth air fire 5764 03:30:08,950 --> 03:30:08,080 and wind 5765 03:30:11,110 --> 03:30:08,960 um 5766 03:30:12,150 --> 03:30:11,120 does a fifth element find a place uh 5767 03:30:16,229 --> 03:30:12,160 like 5768 03:30:18,710 --> 03:30:16,239 found in the platonic solids 5769 03:30:21,110 --> 03:30:18,720 in some cultures it does you go to china 5770 03:30:25,670 --> 03:30:21,120 and you end up with 5771 03:30:29,110 --> 03:30:27,510 in some cultures you end up finding an 5772 03:30:32,389 --> 03:30:29,120 additional metal type 5773 03:30:36,150 --> 03:30:33,670 it's 5774 03:30:37,590 --> 03:30:36,160 the best way i can explain it is 5775 03:30:39,269 --> 03:30:37,600 there's uh 5776 03:30:40,870 --> 03:30:39,279 in china there's a tradition about the e 5777 03:30:43,269 --> 03:30:40,880 ching 5778 03:30:44,469 --> 03:30:43,279 and depending on who you ask what it 5779 03:30:46,389 --> 03:30:44,479 symbolizes 5780 03:30:48,710 --> 03:30:46,399 you get conflicting answers and the 5781 03:30:50,710 --> 03:30:48,720 reason you do is because a thousand 5782 03:30:51,990 --> 03:30:50,720 different interpretations of the iching 5783 03:30:53,830 --> 03:30:52,000 have been made over the years and 5784 03:30:56,070 --> 03:30:53,840 written about and published 5785 03:30:58,870 --> 03:30:56,080 and each one of them may or may not have 5786 03:30:59,990 --> 03:30:58,880 some pertinence or some application to 5787 03:31:02,229 --> 03:31:00,000 the original 5788 03:31:03,910 --> 03:31:02,239 symbolism of the concept 5789 03:31:05,110 --> 03:31:03,920 and this the same thing happens with 5790 03:31:07,910 --> 03:31:05,120 these we have a certain amount of 5791 03:31:09,990 --> 03:31:07,920 telephone game um going on with these 5792 03:31:11,990 --> 03:31:10,000 these symbols we know because of the 5793 03:31:14,630 --> 03:31:12,000 dogen model and because of the 5794 03:31:18,710 --> 03:31:14,640 parallelism of how these metaphors work 5795 03:31:19,990 --> 03:31:18,720 that four is the appointed number of of 5796 03:31:22,469 --> 03:31:20,000 um 5797 03:31:24,710 --> 03:31:22,479 elements in this metaphor there's also 5798 03:31:27,830 --> 03:31:24,720 cosmological reasons why it is before 5799 03:31:31,429 --> 03:31:27,840 our our universe is seen as the 5800 03:31:32,790 --> 03:31:31,439 the fourth of seven pairs of universes 5801 03:31:33,910 --> 03:31:32,800 and so 5802 03:31:36,229 --> 03:31:33,920 um 5803 03:31:37,990 --> 03:31:36,239 that symbolism relates in a couple of 5804 03:31:39,510 --> 03:31:38,000 different ways to that number four but 5805 03:31:42,070 --> 03:31:39,520 we know the force should be the proper 5806 03:31:43,750 --> 03:31:42,080 number so then i can tell that when i 5807 03:31:45,110 --> 03:31:43,760 come across a culture that has five 5808 03:31:48,389 --> 03:31:45,120 instead of four 5809 03:31:50,389 --> 03:31:48,399 that the earlier form is the dogan one 5810 03:31:53,830 --> 03:31:50,399 similarly we have some differences 5811 03:31:56,070 --> 03:31:53,840 between a dog or a buddhist stupa shrine 5812 03:31:58,469 --> 03:31:56,080 and a dogen greenery shrine which are 5813 03:32:00,389 --> 03:31:58,479 essentially the same form but with a 5814 03:32:01,670 --> 03:32:00,399 couple of interesting differences 5815 03:32:02,469 --> 03:32:01,680 the stupa 5816 03:32:04,790 --> 03:32:02,479 um 5817 03:32:07,190 --> 03:32:04,800 culminates in a squared base 5818 03:32:09,110 --> 03:32:07,200 on on the ground and rises to round 5819 03:32:11,590 --> 03:32:09,120 structures in the roof 5820 03:32:13,349 --> 03:32:11,600 the dogen form 5821 03:32:15,750 --> 03:32:13,359 culminates in the cir actually begins 5822 03:32:16,710 --> 03:32:15,760 and culminates with a circular base 5823 03:32:19,830 --> 03:32:16,720 and 5824 03:32:21,510 --> 03:32:19,840 finishes up with a squared flat roof 5825 03:32:23,830 --> 03:32:21,520 that's really the main structural 5826 03:32:25,750 --> 03:32:23,840 difference between the two but 5827 03:32:28,070 --> 03:32:25,760 as you learn about the way the symbolism 5828 03:32:30,630 --> 03:32:28,080 works and why it works the way that it 5829 03:32:32,870 --> 03:32:30,640 works you understand that the dogen is 5830 03:32:34,710 --> 03:32:32,880 the original the earlier form and the 5831 03:32:36,309 --> 03:32:34,720 buddhist is the later form 5832 03:32:38,469 --> 03:32:36,319 and part that's part of what all these 5833 03:32:40,630 --> 03:32:38,479 metaphors is about also is helping to 5834 03:32:43,110 --> 03:32:40,640 sort out um 5835 03:32:45,110 --> 03:32:43,120 timelines they're they're ways of 5836 03:32:47,429 --> 03:32:45,120 correlating the culture so you can say 5837 03:32:48,150 --> 03:32:47,439 well if this culture calls this thing 5838 03:32:51,510 --> 03:32:48,160 this 5839 03:32:52,790 --> 03:32:51,520 connected at a certain point 5840 03:32:54,630 --> 03:32:52,800 historically 5841 03:32:55,830 --> 03:32:54,640 with the tradition i could tell about 5842 03:32:57,670 --> 03:32:55,840 new zealand 5843 03:33:01,110 --> 03:32:57,680 where their influences had to come from 5844 03:33:04,630 --> 03:33:02,710 uh and 5845 03:33:05,910 --> 03:33:04,640 cosmo thank you

5880 03:34:14,309 --> 03:34:12,399 knight who finds a little bird this is 5881 03:34:15,590 --> 03:34:14,319 actually my wife's story it finds a 5882 03:34:17,429 --> 03:34:15,600 little bird by the side of the road 5883 03:34:18,469 --> 03:34:17,439 lying on its back with its feet stuck up 5884 03:34:20,150 --> 03:34:18,479 in the air 5885 03:34:21,910 --> 03:34:20,160 and the knight stops and he says little 5886 03:34:23,269 --> 03:34:21,920 bird why are you lying by the side of 5887 03:34:25,030 --> 03:34:23,279 the road with your feet stuck up in the 5888 03:34:26,150 --> 03:34:25,040 air and the bird says i'm holding up the 5889 03:34:28,150 --> 03:34:26,160 sky 5890 03:34:30,150 --> 03:34:28,160 and the night laughs and he says you 5891 03:34:32,070 --> 03:34:30,160 silly little
