00:05:11,620 especially when they mentioned movie 62 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:13,870 theaters right that that's just wide 63 00:05:21,150 --> 00:05:16,810 open right well everything is has to be 64 00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:21,160 around 20 to 25 percent of capacity so I 65 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:22,390 don't know how they're gonna do that at 66 00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:24,910 movie theaters and and if you go to the 67 00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:28,510 movies with someone do you have to 68 00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:30,940 socially distance with the person you're 69 00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:33,040 going I don't know I don't know how 70 00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:34,990 that's all gonna be handled but it's 71 00:05:41,970 --> 00:05:39,880 it's it's not as as as quick as they're 72 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:41,980 making it sound it's a little bit slower 73 00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,250 pace than that but I had an amazing 74 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:48,160 weekend and I did notice 75 00:05:53,820 -->

unclassified footage showing 223 00:13:02,640 --> 00:12:59,530 unidentified aerial phenomena captured 224 00:13:07,830 --> 00:13:02,650 by Navy aircraft that had circulated in 225 00:13:11,310 --> 00:13:07,840 the public domain for years nobody cared 226 00:13:13,470 --> 00:13:11,320 well anyway I'm talking about it the 227 00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:13,480 Pentagon nobody did anything that would 228 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:17,560 carry the one video was filmed in 229 00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:20,290 November 2004 was been on the internet 230 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:23,080 since 2007 and the other two were 231 00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:26,650 captured in January of 2015 232 00:13:35,150 --> 00:13:31,000 today Pentagon spokesman sue Gao said 233 00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:35,160 and I am quoting after thorough review a 234 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:38,260 department the department has determined 235 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:39,930 that the authorized release of these 236 00:13:48,329 --> 00:13:44,010 unclassified videos does not reveal any 237 00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:48,339 sensitive capabilities or systems and 238 00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:51,540 does not impinge on any subsequent 239 00:13:57,020 --> 00:13:53,740 investigations of military airspace 240 00:13:59,760 --> 00:13:57,030 incursions by unidentified aerial 241 00:14:04,890 --> 00:13:59,770 phenomena end quote 242 00:14:07,170 --> 00:14:04,900 so there you have it that's it the 243 00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:07,180 Pentagon doesn't care they don't think 244 00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:08,710 that there's anything sensitive there 245 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:11,470 isn't any propulsion system and he's 246 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:13,570 sensitive capabilities it doesn't reveal 247 00:14:18,060 --> 00:14:16,240 anything they don't care it's it's just 248 00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:18,070 released and it's out there that's it 249 00:14:24,510 --> 00:14:22,089 and now no matter what people are gonna 250 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,520 see

then 265 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:02,860 we're gonna have the argument I'm gonna 266 00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:05,370 make this last comment are you now 267 00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:09,309 believing the

planet now the media has played directly 418 00:23:45,610 --> 00:23:40,990 into their hands that's right 419 00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:45,620 because nobody understands why there has 420 00:23:55,930 --> 00:23:49,870 been a virtual and total shutdown of 421 00:23:59,080 --> 00:23:55,940 everything all at once the mass media 422 00:24:00,669 --> 00:23:59,090 has had daily headlines over the last 423 00:24:05,470 --> 00:24:00,679 couple of months that have included 424 00:24:08,940 --> 00:24:05,480 stories on a bioweapons lab country of 425 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:08,950 choice China or the United States 426 00:24:17,470 --> 00:24:14,690 vaccines that do and do not exist the 427 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:17,480 collapse of oil markets for whatever 428 00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:21,890 reason cover-ups on every level every 429 00:24:25,330 --> 00:24:24,470 country we've got stories coming out of 430 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:25,340 North Korea 431 00:24:32,909 --> 00:24:28,610 why was Iran hit China

getting it or not country spared 435 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:45,590 and others targeted companies that have 436 00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:50,570 patented Corona all right if I see one 437 00:24:56,590 --> 00:24:53,929 more corona virus vaccine bottle it's 438 00:24:58,780 --> 00:24:56,600 just like the list goes on and on and on 439 00:25:02,890 --> 00:24:58,790 and on I don't have the time to present 440 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:02,900 it all here but the two winners in all 441 00:25:15,850 --> 00:25:09,490 of this Amazon conspiracy theorists 442 00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:15,860 that's right in the end it'll be 443 00:25:22,780 --> 00:25:18,710 conspiracy theorists who will be able to 444 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:22,790 say I told you so I've been talking 445 00:25:33,090 --> 00:25:25,370 about this for years you wouldn't listen 446 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:36,909 you will not be able to argue with any 447 00:25:44,690 --> 00:25:41,330 of them you won't and in fact you're 448 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:44,700 probably going to be in agreement 449 00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:50,850 and that's the truth now when we look at 450 00:25:59,030 --> 00:25:53,430 when we look at all of this when we look 451 00:26:02,380 --> 00:25:59,040 at when we look at it all to have every 452 00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:02,390 conspiracy theorist whatever his or her 453 00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:05,640 hurts conspiracy is doesn't matter I 454 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:07,620 could make one up off of the top of my 455 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:08,730 head right now 456 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:11,850 just make it up rattle it out and then 457 00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:16,850 somebody go why well coronavirus oh yeah 458 00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:20,640 because you can tie in coronavirus from 459 00:26:24,980 --> 00:26:22,260 so many different ways from a health 460 00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:24,990 standpoint from a population control 461 00:26:29,740 --> 00:26:26,760 standpoint from an economic shutdown 462 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:29,750 standpoint enemies of the state 463 00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:34,410 standpoint and and so many more banking 464 00:26:41,630 --> 00:26:39,240 think about this the debt oh man 465 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:41,640 printing trillions of dollars right now 466 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:43,770 today like it's nothing spitting it off 467 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:46,080 for the printing presses that's right 468 00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:48,570 that's what we are doing all of it part 469 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:51,720 of the conspiracy it's it's absolutely 470 00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:53,520 incredible you have that and then you 471 00:27:00,190 --> 00:26:56,760 have the other side which is this those 472 00:27:05,210 --> 00:27:00,200 people out there that may not be as 473 00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:05,220 stable as others right that always are 474 00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:07,920 looking for something to freak out on 475 00:27:12,890 --> 00:27:11,310 and maybe they're looking at conspiracy 476 00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:12,900 theories but then they get upset over 477 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:16,140 anything anyway right but when you give 478 00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:20,720 them verification of crazy like 479 00:27:26,570 --> 00:27:23,520 coronavirus and tied into especially 480 00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:26,580 into a conspiracy theory that's the 481 00:27:33,050 --> 00:27:28,080 tipping point for a lot of people that 482 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:33,060 don't need to be tipped think about that 483 00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:36,930 and it really really really bothers me 484 00:27:42,650 --> 00:27:39,750 the conspiracy theorists here that feed 485 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:42,660 into those people out there that are 486 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:45,090 just stumbling around looking for 487 00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:48,090 answers to questions and then they read 488 00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:49,830 something that they don't need to read 489 00:27:55,250 --> 00:27:52,350 and it's tied into coronavirus and then 490 00:27:57,670 --> 00:27:55,260 i all bets are off and those are the 491 00:28:00,430 --> 00:27:57,680 real victims and we need to be careful 492 00:28:03,430 -->

musicians and these subjects that 651 00:36:09,650 --> 00:36:07,799 interest us well I think I think in some 652 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:09,660 way I mean the sort of thing I've wound 653 00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:12,930 up doing I got into it when I was first 654 00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:15,150 playing in music this is quite some time 655 00:36:21,140 --> 00:36:18,180 ago this is back in 1975 and I was 656 00:36:22,940 --> 00:36:21,150 living on the Bowery in New York and 657 00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:22,950 this was back when the Bowery was the 658 00:36:27,319 --> 00:36:24,510 Bowery it was the Skid Row if you go 659 00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:27,329 there today it's unrecognizable but yeah 660 00:36:33,289 --> 00:36:29,990 I was living there with Debbie Harry and 661 00:36:36,859 --> 00:36:33,299 Christine from blondie the singer and 662 00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:36,869 guitarist and in this sort of run-down 663 00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:39,990 the legal loft space we were we were 664 00:36:43,549 --> 00:36:42,089 renting somebody else in the building or 665 00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:43,559 the guy who was renting us the floor off 666 00:36:50,510 --> 00:36:47,640 floor he was this wild flamboyant artist 667 00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:50,520 and he was very much into Aleister 668 00:36:55,789 --> 00:36:53,369 Crowley's tarot deck the Thoth tarot 669 00:36:57,770 --> 00:36:55,799 deck which was still fairly rare at the 670 00:37:00,740 --> 00:36:57,780 time and he used to do these impromptu 671 00:37:04,130 --> 00:37:00,750 readings and he did these paintings big 672 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:04,140 canvases based on the Tarot Trump's and 673 00:37:07,940 --> 00:37:05,490 Chris and Debbie they had kind of a 674 00:37:09,799 --> 00:37:07,950 kitschy interest in this sort of thing 675 00:37:13,730 --> 00:37:09,809 you know there was some voodoo dolls and 676 00:37:15,950 --> 00:37:13,740 upside-down pentagrams and crosses in 677 00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:15,960 the loft space and you know strange 678 00:37:18,260 --> 00:37:16,619 stuff like that 679 00:37:20,180 --> 00:37:18,270 and I didn't really have any interest in 680 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:20,190 that in a serious way I mean I grew up 681 00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:22,170 reading HP Lovecraft didn't all this 682 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:23,910 weird horror fiction and loving all the 683 00:37:29,450 --> 00:37:26,250 horror films from the 30s and 40s and so 684 00:37:32,930 --> 00:37:29,460 on but one of the things that did it for 685 00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:32,940 me was he came across a book by a 686 00:37:36,289 --> 00:37:34,680 British writer you mentioned him in the 687 00:37:38,660 --> 00:37:36,299 list of biographies I've done Colin 688 00:37:41,180 --> 00:37:38,670 Wilson and he did 689 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:41,190 book came out 1971 I think just called 690 00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:44,690 the occult and it's this huge tome and 691 00:37:48,830 --> 00:37:47,100 what did it for me was that it's not 692 00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:48,840 it's not just a book about haunted 693 00:37:53,020 --> 00:37:50,880 houses and ghosts and spells and things 694 00:37:55,130 --> 00:37:53,030 like that he was looking at the occult 695 00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:55,140 through the lens of a philosophy of 696 00:37:58,970 --> 00:37:57,510 consciousness and he had written books 697 00:38:00,770 --> 00:37:58,980 about philosophy before them but I 698 00:38:02,510 --> 00:38:00,780 wasn't aware of them and I just started 699 00:38:04,010 --> 00:38:02,520 reading this and it just I mean it's one 700 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:04,020 of those life-changing books it just 701 00:38:08,630 --> 00:38:05,970 basically really changed my life and I 702 00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:08,640 continue to music for the few more years 703 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:10,950 but during all that time when I was I 704 00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:14,160 mean I guess I dropped out in 1981 I 705 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:16,470 mean the last person I played with Iggy 706 00:38:21,980 --> 00:38:19,290 Pop I did to two North American tours 707 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:21,990 playing guitar with Iggy and yeah at the 708 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:23,970 end of 81 I just dropped out of music 709 00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:26,610 but from discovering that book in 75 710 00:38:30,020 --> 00:38:28,590 until then I just was reading and 711 00:38:32,210 --> 00:38:30,030 reading and reading and reading and 712 00:38:35,210 --> 00:38:32,220 reading everything and it just that took 713 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:35,220 over at that point it was you just 714 00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:37,890 mentioned Iggy last week was his 715 00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:42,740 birthday and he turned 73 yeah right 716 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:45,750 what does that do to your head I had to 717 00:38:53,810 --> 00:38:50,730 stop and pause I really did 73 well for 718 00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:53,820 a while he was doing these insurance 719 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:55,920 adverts here these are Insurance 720 00:39:00,410 --> 00:38:58,410 commercials here and it was sort of 721 00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:00,420 thing like well if we'd insured him we 722 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:04,560 didn't sure anybody know is one of the 723 00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:06,090 incredible survivors I mean what can you 724 00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:09,150 say yeah absolutely 73 years old you 725 00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:12,230 know I don't know where the time is gone 726 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:19,110 I'm 56 and a survivor of the 80s in the 727 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:21,930 Sunset Strip and and it doesn't seem 728 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:26,130 like that long ago but it was you know 729 00:39:32,540 --> 00:39:29,370 35 almost 40 years ago now and the same 730 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:32,550 thing for you 1975 and you start to 731 00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:33,930 think about this you know that's for 732 00:39:40,610 --> 00:39:36,990 four and a half decades ago and they'll 733 00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:40,620 write this makes you and I who we used 734 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:43,680 to rebel against when we were kids we 735 00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:47,010 are now those people yeah well let's 736 00:39:51,020 --> 00:39:48,480 just hope the people listening can't do 737 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:51,030 the math that's the way we gotta look at 738 00:39:54,370 --> 00:39:52,490 it and I do 739 00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:54,380 one of these days let's do a show will 740 00:40:00,990 --> 00:39:56,510 we'll talk some music it'll be a lot of 741 00:40:04,210 --> 00:40:01,000 fun but yeah I've often found that the 742 00:40:06,490 --> 00:40:04,220 the creative circles out there and not 743 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:06,500 necessarily you know try to get this 744 00:40:12,130 --> 00:40:08,570 information out of the intellectuals and 745 00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:12,140 certainly the math and the sciences but 746 00:40:19,660 --> 00:40:16,790 the the creative circles have always had 747 00:40:21,430 --> 00:40:19,670 an open mind to this and have chosen to 748 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:21,440 go and research because I feel that they 749 00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:24,170 know that the world isn't as what it 750 00:40:32,410 --> 00:40:27,260 seems and when you look back and you go 751 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:32,420 into Russia certainly pre 1917 most 752 00:40:39,490 --> 00:40:34,450 people don't know about that history and 753 00:40:42,190 --> 00:40:39,500 it has effectively for certainly been 754 00:40:45,820 --> 00:40:42,200 suppressed and nearly erased for the 755 00:40:46,450 --> 00:40:45,830 last 50 60 70 years hasn't it yeah 756 00:40:50,140 --> 00:40:46,460 that's true 757 00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:50,150 I mean it's a remarkable period just 758 00:40:55,930 --> 00:40:53,390 before the the Bolsheviks took over it's 759 00:40:58,570 --> 00:40:55,940 a period known as the Silver Age in 760 00:41:00,520 --> 00:40:58,580 Russian history and they it's sort of I 761 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:00,530 guess from about eighteen late 1880s 762 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:03,890 1890s until as you say just before the 763 00:41:07,870 --> 00:41:05,290 Revolution and it was a remarkable 764 00:41:12,210 --> 00:41:07,880 flowering of culture of art and 765 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:12,220 literature and music but also an intense 766 00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:14,810 preoccupation and interest in things 767 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:16,880 like the occult and mysticism and magic 768 00:41:23,770 --> 00:41:19,970 and spirituality and kind of intense 769 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:23,780 religiosity and I had known about this 770 00:41:28,870 --> 00:41:25,490 period I mean I'm the you know 771 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:28,880 gluttonous writers a reader so I've you 772 00:41:32,470 --> 00:41:30,290 know read a lot and I was very 773 00:41:35,970 --> 00:41:32,480 interested in dusty upski and people 774 00:41:41,050 --> 00:41:35,980 like that from from other interests and 775 00:41:42,970 --> 00:41:41,060 what got me into doing the book was that 776 00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:42,980 well I'd written quite a bit about 777 00:41:46,660 --> 00:41:44,510 Russia in the previous book who's a book 778 00:41:49,810 --> 00:41:46,670 called Dark Star rising magic and power 779 00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:49,820 in the age of Trump which is it's not 780 00:41:54,430 --> 00:41:51,609 the book so much about Trump per se 781 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:54,440 specifically as this kind of occult 782 00:42:00,099 --> 00:41:56,930 politics that seems to have risen up 783 00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:00,109 around him and maybe we can get on to 784 00:42:04,090 --> 00:42:02,240 that down the line but I'd written in 785 00:42:05,319 --> 00:42:04,100 that book quite a bit about things going 786 00:42:07,779 --> 00:42:05,329 on in Russia and then 787 00:42:11,499 --> 00:42:07,789 look that this one is kind of a follow 788 00:42:15,699 --> 00:42:11,509 up to it and the real sort of trigger 789 00:42:18,359 --> 00:42:15,709 was that I in research for the the 790 00:42:22,890 --> 00:42:18,369 earlier book I come across references to 791 00:42:28,449 --> 00:42:22,900 Putin and I think it was like 2014 or so 792 00:42:29,979 --> 00:42:28,459 when at a meeting of Russia United which 793 00:42:33,519 --> 00:42:29,989 is the sort of the you know the big 794 00:42:36,549 --> 00:42:33,529 political party that that he's you know 795 00:42:38,049 --> 00:42:36,559 that's his party and he he had he had a 796 00:42:40,479 --> 00:42:38,059 reading list that he was giving to his 797 00:42:43,329 --> 00:42:40,489 regional governors and on the list were 798 00:42:45,130 --> 00:42:43,339 some philosophers from this period from 799 00:42:47,019 --> 00:42:45,140 this Silver Age and they were people 800 00:42:49,390 --> 00:42:47,029 that whose work I was aware of not all 801 00:42:50,739 --> 00:42:49,400 of them but but but some of them and I 802 00:42:51,759 --> 00:42:50,749 thought what I was interesting you know 803 00:42:54,489 --> 00:42:51,769 you don't have too many world leaders 804 00:42:58,420 --> 00:42:54,499 giving you know their their regional 805 00:43:00,900 --> 00:42:58,430 governors philosophers to read about but 806 00:43:03,219 --> 00:43:00,910 then I saw the reaction from the West 807 00:43:06,729 --> 00:43:03,229 the David Brooks in the New York Times 808 00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:06,739 and some other Western pundits and they 809 00:43:12,670 --> 00:43:10,910 were basically attacking Putin and these 810 00:43:15,339 --> 00:43:12,680 people from this period the Silver Age 811 00:43:18,430 --> 00:43:15,349 saying oh this is a example of Russian 812 00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:18,440 exceptionalism and the reason they say 813 00:43:24,699 --> 00:43:22,609 this is that there was this whole notion 814 00:43:26,859 --> 00:43:24,709 that somehow at this time it says just 815 00:43:28,269 --> 00:43:26,869 before the Bolsheviks that that what was 816 00:43:30,370 --> 00:43:28,279 happening in Russia was a kind of 817 00:43:33,009 --> 00:43:30,380 cultural Renaissance and a religious and 818 00:43:35,289 --> 00:43:33,019 spiritual one that would be able to sort 819 00:43:38,019 --> 00:43:35,299 of balance out the increasing 820 00:43:40,059 --> 00:43:38,029 materialism and so sort of scientific 821 00:43:41,499 --> 00:43:40,069 reductionism that had taken over the 822 00:43:44,259 --> 00:43:41,509 West and there was this idea that 823 00:43:45,910 --> 00:43:44,269 somehow the the the flowering that was 824 00:43:47,439 --> 00:43:45,920 happening in Russia then and again this 825 00:43:49,089 --> 00:43:47,449 is before the Bolsheviks would be able 826 00:43:51,039 --> 00:43:49,099 to bring sort of East and West together 827 00:43:52,779 --> 00:43:51,049 and create a kind of you know new 828 00:43:54,670 --> 00:43:52,789 culture and they were you know quite a 829 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:54,680 few philosophers and and sort of 830 00:43:58,569 --> 00:43:56,930 spiritual visionaries at that time who 831 00:44:00,579 --> 00:43:58,579 saw something like that Rudolf Steiner 832 00:44:03,219 --> 00:44:00,589 was one of them but then this all gets 833 00:44:05,380 --> 00:44:03,229 you know completely you know sort of 834 00:44:06,670 --> 00:44:05,390 squashed and obliterated by the rise of 835 00:44:09,069 --> 00:44:06,680 the Bolsheviks so which is struck me is 836 00:44:11,439 --> 00:44:09,079 fascinating that Putin was looking back 837 00:44:14,620 --> 00:44:11,449 to this earlier time and the reason he's 838 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:14,630 doing that is that it Russia seems to 839 00:44:18,279 --> 00:44:15,650 been going through a kind of identity 840 00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:18,289 crisis since the collapse of the USSR 841 00:44:23,489 --> 00:44:19,089 what 842 00:44:27,630 --> 00:44:23,499 did you like I did do you almost call BS 843 00:44:33,390 --> 00:44:27,640 on that is it Putin trying to appear to 844 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:33,400 be a literary read write philosophical I 845 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:36,249 have got a library of books and I sit 846 00:44:43,009 --> 00:44:39,130 around and drink wine by candlelight and 847 00:44:45,180 --> 00:44:43,019 I'm reading these tones you know I I 848 00:44:48,509 --> 00:44:45,190 equated two people that dropped 849 00:44:50,069 --> 00:44:48,519 Nietzsche in a conversation right so 850 00:44:52,170 --> 00:44:50,079 they want to come across as an 851 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:52,180 intellectual do you think it was just 852 00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:54,249 that or do you think that the scarier 853 00:45:01,499 --> 00:44:57,910 part is that Putin may be reading this 854 00:45:05,819 --> 00:45:01,509 and looking to the Past for the future 855 00:45:08,729 --> 00:45:05,829 of Russia well I think that again I'm no 856 00:45:10,499 --> 00:45:08,739 expert in Russia I mean when you do the 857 00:45:13,469 --> 00:45:10,509 kind of books I do you kind of become 858 00:45:15,089 --> 00:45:13,479 you quickly become an expert in some 859 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:15,099 areas of you know of what you're 860 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:16,690 researching and so this is something 861 00:45:22,709 --> 00:45:19,690 that that became clear that you know 862 00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:22,719 with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 863 00:45:29,279 --> 00:45:25,390 the late 80s early 90s then you had an 864 00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:29,289 early kind of exciting period when it 865 00:45:33,059 --> 00:45:31,239 seems like it was opening up to Western 866 00:45:34,620 --> 00:45:33,069 democracy in the free market and all 867 00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:34,630 that and then it kind of went to 868 00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:36,640 freefall you know in the late 90s 869 00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:38,079 everything collapse you know the ruble 870 00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:40,660 hit the hit the floor and all of that 871 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:45,609 and so there certainly was this need for 872 00:45:51,269 --> 00:45:48,249 a kind of new direction you know a new 873 00:45:53,219 --> 00:45:51,279 orientation and this is a question again 874 00:45:55,499 --> 00:45:53,229 as I looked into the history of Russia 875 00:45:56,729 --> 00:45:55,509 this is Russia's identity is something 876 00:45:59,339 --> 00:45:56,739 that comes up in the history of Russia 877 00:46:01,109 --> 00:45:59,349 itself it's this kind of motor that 878 00:46:04,319 --> 00:46:01,119 drives much of the history of Russia 879 00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:04,329 they search for a kind of identity I was 880 00:46:07,259 --> 00:46:05,710 gonna say it seemed like you know we're 881 00:46:09,180 --> 00:46:07,269 not Marxists anymore we're not 882 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:09,190 communists anymore but not really 883 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:11,410 Westerners because this this you know 884 00:46:15,950 --> 00:46:13,210 free market democracy doesn't seem to 885 00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:15,960 stick exact so we need some kind of new 886 00:46:20,789 --> 00:46:19,119 identity and you know I'm sure Putin is 887 00:46:23,190 --> 00:46:20,799 you know he's he's a tactician it's all 888 00:46:25,410 --> 00:46:23,200 very strategic but at the same time I 889 00:46:27,450 --> 00:46:25,420 think he probably does read Dostoyevsky 890 00:46:29,729 --> 00:46:27,460 probably has read these people because 891 00:46:31,890 --> 00:46:29,739 in general the impression again I get 892 00:46:32,550 --> 00:46:31,900 and I'm not alone this is that kind of 893 00:46:37,620 --> 00:46:32,560 the level 894 00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:37,630 of literary awareness in Russia seem to 895 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:39,430 be higher than say the average you know 896 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:40,930 reader in the West or something like 897 00:46:46,050 --> 00:46:42,850 that so it's not unusual but you know 898 00:46:48,570 --> 00:46:46,060 again I'm sure he's not doing it for his 899 00:46:52,050 --> 00:46:48,580 own edification now let's all right 900 00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:52,060 let's let's establish a footing here for 901 00:46:57,060 --> 00:46:54,640 the audience so they clearly understand 902 00:46:59,340 --> 00:46:57,070 why this book needed to be written we 903 00:47:02,550 --> 00:46:59,350 have to go into the past into the 904 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:02,560 distant past actually because Russian 905 00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:06,130 culture and this is the question Russian 906 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:09,730 culture was oh I almost want to say 907 00:47:15,930 --> 00:47:14,170 dualistic they were spiritual Orthodox 908 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:15,940 Christianity some of the oldest churches 909 00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:17,920 in the world were established in Russia 910 00:47:25,050 --> 00:47:21,390 what happened later we'll discuss but 911 00:47:30,660 --> 00:47:25,060 religion was part of society but also 912 00:47:35,580 --> 00:47:30,670 running alongside that in an almost in a 913 00:47:38,250 --> 00:47:35,590 hybrid kind of way they had they had the 914 00:47:43,350 --> 00:47:38,260 esoteric side of things and it was 915 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:43,360 ghosts and it was gods and it was the 916 00:47:49,260 --> 00:47:46,810 powers of the mind this that that part 917 00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:49,270 of society ran alongside and was 918 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:53,200 accepted as as Christianity was nor the 919 00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:56,410 Orthodox Christian Church right yes it's 920 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:00,400 true I mean even before sort of well 921 00:48:06,540 --> 00:48:03,010 Russia Russia as we know Russia kind of 922 00:48:11,250 --> 00:48:06,550 came into existence when the it adopted 923 00:48:14,790 --> 00:48:11,260 the Greek Orthodox Christianity and in 924 00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:14,800 the late 10th 10th century and it had 925 00:48:18,980 --> 00:48:17,200 pagan beliefs before then and in recent 926 00:48:21,180 --> 00:48:18,990 times a lot of the pagan beliefs or 927 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:21,190 experience in a renaissance and a 928 00:48:26,070 --> 00:48:23,530 resurgence again part of this search for 929 00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:26,080 an identity and yeah there's you know 930 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:27,250 fantastic 931 00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:29,050 fairy tales and sort of you know 932 00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:32,310 supernatural stories and and myths and 933 00:48:39,510 --> 00:48:35,260 and tables and all of that part of the 934 00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:39,520 Russian kind of pagan tradition and they 935 00:48:44,820 --> 00:48:42,310 were able to I mean again this is 936 00:48:46,230 --> 00:48:44,830 something again that I've come up in and 937 00:48:47,910 --> 00:48:46,240 all the research I've done it 938 00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:47,920 this is that there seems to be something 939 00:48:50,670 --> 00:48:49,390 in the Russian soul in the Russian 940 00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:50,680 psyche that can accommodate 941 00:48:55,620 --> 00:48:53,440 contradictory things it kind of zoom 942 00:48:58,050 --> 00:48:55,630 Alexandria in the last days of the 943 00:49:00,690 --> 00:48:58,060 Romanovs and he's always known as the 944 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:00,700 holy devil you know I guess you know in 945 00:49:03,870 --> 00:49:01,930 the states you have the Hells Angels 946 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:03,880 again is this kind of antinomian these 947 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:06,450 kind of opposites coming together and 948 00:49:12,510 --> 00:49:10,570 once Christianity took root the earlier 949 00:49:15,060 --> 00:49:12,520 pagan waves weren't completely expelled 950 00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:15,070 but they the people were somehow able to 951 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:16,510 absorb the both and they have this 952 00:49:20,670 --> 00:49:18,010 notion of what they call double belief 953 00:49:22,890 --> 00:49:20,680 so you know and it wasn't sort of like 954 00:49:24,210 --> 00:49:22,900 okay we'll pretend to be Christian but 955 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:24,220 we're really paying and if somehow they 956 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:26,050 were able to blend the two things 957 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:28,690 together and one reason for that is that 958 00:49:34,380 --> 00:49:31,690 the kind of Christianity the the Greek 959 00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:34,390 or the Eastern Christianity that they 960 00:49:38,579 --> 00:49:36,609 adopted and itself had more of a 961 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:38,589 mystical kind of sense to it then than 962 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:41,410 the Western you know which what we know 963 00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:43,570 of Roman Catholicism certainly certainly 964 00:49:49,859 --> 00:49:46,660 Protestantism and they really did have 965 00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:49,869 the sense of some upcoming end of things 966 00:49:54,510 --> 00:49:52,630 you know some final climax that history 967 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:54,520 was was you know heading towards and 968 00:50:01,170 --> 00:49:56,290 this was the resurrection so well all 969 00:50:02,790 --> 00:50:01,180 those kind of more esoteric mystical 970 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:02,800 kind of ideas that are part of 971 00:50:07,589 --> 00:50:04,570 Christianity but in the West they don't 972 00:50:10,710 --> 00:50:07,599 get as much kind of emphasis we're taken 973 00:50:14,460 --> 00:50:10,720 as sort of the the center you know in 974 00:50:18,570 --> 00:50:14,470 the East taken as the main the main 975 00:50:24,810 --> 00:50:18,580 aspect of it was that the fabric of not 976 00:50:28,620 --> 00:50:24,820 only theosophy but the the the common 977 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:28,630 man discussing things about Russia out 978 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:31,210 of pride that the East was going to rise 979 00:50:37,380 --> 00:50:35,050 up Europe's gonna fall Minh I today's 980 00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:37,390 really wasn't even as a part of the 981 00:50:43,050 --> 00:50:39,070 conversation it was always focused on 982 00:50:45,630 --> 00:50:43,060 Europe and and was that was that the 983 00:50:50,839 --> 00:50:45,640 feel of the common man you know going 984 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:50,849 into the revolution well I mean it's 985 00:50:57,060 --> 00:50:54,010 usually well the story usually is is 986 00:50:58,030 --> 00:50:57,070 that there's a kind of avant-garde or 987 00:51:01,720 --> 00:50:58,040 you know 988 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:01,730 a minority culturally creative and 989 00:51:05,620 --> 00:51:03,650 intelligentsia sort of minority and then 990 00:51:08,710 --> 00:51:05,630 you have the vast masses right of the 991 00:51:11,490 --> 00:51:08,720 people the serfs and all that and well I 992 00:51:15,940 --> 00:51:11,500 mean they had it they had a very 993 00:51:18,250 --> 00:51:15,950 everyone say it not any derogatory sense 994 00:51:19,390 --> 00:51:18,260 but they had a childlike innocence in 995 00:51:21,850 --> 00:51:19,400 the sense that they just completely 996 00:51:24,750 --> 00:51:21,860 embraced the faith there wasn't the same 997 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:24,760 kind of theological disputes and 998 00:51:30,100 --> 00:51:26,930 uncertainty that you had in the West I 999 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:30,110 mean when they absorbed when they 1000 00:51:36,460 --> 00:51:32,690 embraced the Greek Orthodox Christianity 1001 00:51:38,650 --> 00:51:36,470 again back late nine hundreds they took 1002 00:51:40,270 --> 00:51:38,660 it lock stock and barrel so they just 1003 00:51:41,980 --> 00:51:40,280 status said yes okay we believe this 1004 00:51:44,500 --> 00:51:41,990 this is what happened you know Jesus was 1005 00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:44,510 born then and the second coming is on 1006 00:51:52,630 --> 00:51:48,110 its way and we we now well by the time 1007 00:51:55,630 --> 00:51:52,640 of let's say some few centuries after 1008 00:51:58,960 --> 00:51:55,640 that because at the time that they 1009 00:52:02,950 --> 00:51:58,970 adopted Greek Christianity the center 1010 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:02,960 that was Constantinople what's Istanbul 1011 00:52:07,180 --> 00:52:04,610 today I mean that was the second Rome 1012 00:52:10,900 --> 00:52:07,190 and after the first Rome you know Rome 1013 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:10,910 itself fell to the you know sort of 1014 00:52:14,500 --> 00:52:13,130 barbarian hordes the Constantinople 1015 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:14,510 continued on it was still this 1016 00:52:20,590 --> 00:52:18,530 magnificent Roman Empire in that other 1017 00:52:23,230 --> 00:52:20,600 half of the other half of the Empire and 1018 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:23,240 it wasn't until around the 1450s that 1019 00:52:29,860 --> 00:52:25,610 Constantinople fell to the Turks but at 1020 00:52:31,810 --> 00:52:29,870 that point Russia Moscow which had risen 1021 00:52:34,330 --> 00:52:31,820 to prominence by then it had taken on 1022 00:52:36,340 --> 00:52:34,340 the mantle of becoming the third Rome so 1023 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:36,350 you had the original Rome that fell and 1024 00:52:40,750 --> 00:52:38,930 Constantinople fell and then Moscow had 1025 00:52:42,340 --> 00:52:40,760 become sort of the third Rome and this 1026 00:52:44,050 --> 00:52:42,350 is whole myth about Moscow as the third 1027 00:52:46,810 --> 00:52:44,060 Rome and it said into certain you know 1028 00:52:48,610 --> 00:52:46,820 divisions of you know Empire and things 1029 00:52:50,110 --> 00:52:48,620 of that sort but there was a real sense 1030 00:52:52,260 --> 00:52:50,120 that they were carrying on that 1031 00:52:57,630 --> 00:52:52,270 tradition they were the last you know 1032 00:53:01,180 --> 00:52:57,640 truly Christian nation was the quote 1033 00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:01,190 there will not be a fourth Rome yeah 1034 00:53:07,660 --> 00:53:03,710 there's a famous there's a famous a monk 1035 00:53:09,250 --> 00:53:07,670 wrote to you know when when this was 1036 00:53:11,410 --> 00:53:09,260 going on saying you know the first Rome 1037 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:11,420 fell the second one did there won't be 1038 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:15,770 third so you know it's sort of there was 1039 00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:18,530 this whole apocalyptic millenarian sense 1040 00:53:26,109 --> 00:53:22,609 about this you know this if oh did I 1041 00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:26,119 lose you if Buster Falls and that's the 1042 00:53:28,420 --> 00:53:26,510 end 1043 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:28,430 right right right you dropped out there 1044 00:53:36,069 --> 00:53:33,890 for a second okay little panic attack 1045 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:36,079 you gotta love technology the fact that 1046 00:53:41,530 --> 00:53:40,130 we can do this is just amazing to me and 1047 00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:41,540 you sound like you're right here in the 1048 00:53:52,180 --> 00:53:43,910 studio and then when it drops for two 1049 00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:52,190 seconds you know we might jump into that 1050 00:54:00,190 --> 00:53:55,609 a little later on tonight now and this 1051 00:54:03,309 --> 00:54:00,200 is the thing because of the and I always 1052 00:54:05,170 --> 00:54:03,319 picture those those Paris cafes right 1053 00:54:07,299 --> 00:54:05,180 everybody change smoking cigarettes and 1054 00:54:10,180 --> 00:54:07,309 drinking coffee and and discussing 1055 00:54:13,660 --> 00:54:10,190 philosophy and politics you know all 1056 00:54:15,250 --> 00:54:13,670 night long waiting hoping to get 1057 00:54:18,849 --> 00:54:15,260 arrested you know it must have been a 1058 00:54:22,859 --> 00:54:18,859 great time but what was the real 1059 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:22,869 influence with Rudolf Steiner and and 1060 00:54:29,859 --> 00:54:27,290 Blavatsky back then because they were 1061 00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:29,869 almost erased from history there was a 1062 00:54:36,099 --> 00:54:33,369 good attempt and a good crack at that 1063 00:54:40,630 --> 00:54:36,109 when you think about the way that Russia 1064 00:54:43,510 --> 00:54:40,640 needed to deal with this in 1917 how how 1065 00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:43,520 influential were they as you go into 1066 00:54:50,859 --> 00:54:46,670 this research to find out what was 1067 00:54:54,700 --> 00:54:50,869 really going on well it was actually 1068 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:54,710 very very influential Blavatsky wasn't 1069 00:54:59,289 --> 00:54:56,770 as much even though she was Russian but 1070 00:55:01,930 --> 00:54:59,299 the problem with Pulaski is that she was 1071 00:55:04,359 --> 00:55:01,940 very critical of Christianity she was 1072 00:55:07,839 --> 00:55:04,369 very critical of the judeo-christian 1073 00:55:09,099 --> 00:55:07,849 tradition and she if you know about man 1074 00:55:11,470 --> 00:55:09,109 with that skin that the oesophagus 1075 00:55:14,770 --> 00:55:11,480 society they they basically had their 1076 00:55:15,970 --> 00:55:14,780 sights set on the east on india and even 1077 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:15,980 you know but that's key got into a lot 1078 00:55:24,289 --> 00:55:21,930 of trouble and and and you know kind of 1079 00:55:27,710 --> 00:55:24,299 problems with wit the Raj when she was 1080 00:55:29,630 --> 00:55:27,720 in India but Steiner who started out as 1081 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:29,640 at the ah Sophists he started out in the 1082 00:55:33,710 --> 00:55:31,770 Theosophical society he developed a kind 1083 00:55:36,970 --> 00:55:33,720 of Christianized version of it a very 1084 00:55:39,829 --> 00:55:36,980 westernized kind of version of 1085 00:55:43,490 --> 00:55:39,839 Blavatsky's ideas in theosophy and then 1086 00:55:46,309 --> 00:55:43,500 he broke away around around 1912 4:13 1087 00:55:49,180 --> 00:55:46,319 and developed his own school would you 1088 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:49,190 call anthroposophy and theosophy 1089 00:55:54,319 --> 00:55:51,930 theosophy is the the wisdom of the Gods 1090 00:55:56,329 --> 00:55:54,329 so Theo is God and Sophia's wisdom so 1091 00:55:58,039 --> 00:55:56,339 anthro is the wisdom of man or the 1092 00:55:59,809 --> 00:55:58,049 wisdom of human beings which sounds kind 1093 00:56:02,660 --> 00:55:59,819 of clumsy but we don't want to be sexist 1094 00:56:05,990 --> 00:56:02,670 so it's that the wisdom of the humans 1095 00:56:09,829 --> 00:56:06,000 and he was incredibly influential and 1096 00:56:15,140 --> 00:56:09,839 because his his he has a kind of strange 1097 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:15,150 esoteric variant of Christianity and he 1098 00:56:21,970 --> 00:56:18,930 had given lectures in he's supposed to 1099 00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:21,980 be giving lectures in Russia in in 1905 1100 00:56:28,940 --> 00:56:26,250 was his second wife Marie von Seavers 1101 00:56:31,819 --> 00:56:28,950 she was a Baltic Russian and she had 1102 00:56:33,799 --> 00:56:31,829 arranged for him to go to st. Petersburg 1103 00:56:35,839 --> 00:56:33,809 to give a series of lectures because at 1104 00:56:37,670 --> 00:56:35,849 this time you know early 1900s 1105 00:56:38,930 --> 00:56:37,680 most of the capitals of Europe were 1106 00:56:40,970 --> 00:56:38,940 caught up in this kind of a cult 1107 00:56:43,309 --> 00:56:40,980 mystical craze I mean you had it in 1108 00:56:45,109 --> 00:56:43,319 Paris you had it in London but you 1109 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:45,119 certainly had it in st. Petersburg which 1110 00:56:50,539 --> 00:56:47,930 was this kind of hotbed of this intense 1111 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:50,549 spirituality and focused on mysticism 1112 00:56:55,099 --> 00:56:52,890 that's right and and then the 1905 1113 00:56:59,589 --> 00:56:55,109 revolution like the the one that was 1114 00:57:02,900 --> 00:56:59,599 before the one you know the 1917 one 1115 00:57:07,250 --> 00:57:02,910 that stopped you know started to being 1116 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:07,260 able to go to Russia but in 1906 there 1117 00:57:14,210 --> 00:57:10,170 was a big Theosophical Jamboree in Paris 1118 00:57:17,329 --> 00:57:14,220 and Steiner was there and a lot of the 1119 00:57:20,450 --> 00:57:17,339 Russian intelligentsia and artists who 1120 00:57:22,339 --> 00:57:20,460 sort of fled Russia after the sort of 1121 00:57:24,380 --> 00:57:22,349 collapse of the 1905 revolution they 1122 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:24,390 turned up in Paris it was the kind of 1123 00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:26,640 political refugee capital of Europe then 1124 00:57:31,339 --> 00:57:29,520 and they came to his lectures and he was 1125 00:57:33,049 --> 00:57:31,349 so popular he there was there was this 1126 00:57:35,259 --> 00:57:33,059 kind of rivalry going on between he and 1127 00:57:38,919 --> 00:57:35,269 Annie Besant who was the 1128 00:57:42,159 --> 00:57:38,929 dish X suffragettes and Fabian socialist 1129 00:57:44,939 --> 00:57:42,169 who had abandoned all that and taken up 1130 00:57:47,109 --> 00:57:44,949 theosophy she became sort of they had a 1131 00:57:48,789 --> 00:57:47,119 Theosophical society up-tempo vet skis 1132 00:57:53,409 --> 00:57:48,799 death and there was a sort of rivalry 1133 00:57:56,199 --> 00:57:53,419 between she and Steiner and when he was 1134 00:57:57,849 --> 00:57:56,209 giving these his own talks in Paris he 1135 00:57:59,349 --> 00:57:57,859 became so popular that you know the 1136 00:58:01,179 --> 00:57:59,359 other Theosophists were jealous of him 1137 00:58:03,699 --> 00:58:01,189 but these Russians they they flocked to 1138 00:58:07,089 --> 00:58:03,709 his his talks and he had this vision of 1139 00:58:08,529 --> 00:58:07,099 this kind of new cultural epic happening 1140 00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:08,539 happening in Russia and again it's this 1141 00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:10,609 whole idea that somehow in the Russian 1142 00:58:17,049 --> 00:58:13,249 soul the Russian psyche has this 1143 00:58:18,729 --> 00:58:17,059 tremendous ability to blend and and meld 1144 00:58:22,089 --> 00:58:18,739 you know opposites kind of together 1145 00:58:26,469 --> 00:58:22,099 contradictory things and there was this 1146 00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:26,479 whole notion that Steiner taking up from 1147 00:58:31,259 --> 00:58:28,249 theosophy he has this idea that there is 1148 00:58:34,329 --> 00:58:31,269 certain kind of evolutionary at box in 1149 00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:34,339 the human history I mean if a signer 1150 00:58:39,729 --> 00:58:37,569 goes back into prehistory and he he has 1151 00:58:41,139 --> 00:58:39,739 he knows that this because of his 1152 00:58:43,859 --> 00:58:41,149 researches into what's called the 1153 00:58:48,489 --> 00:58:43,869 Akashic record and he loses this sort of 1154 00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:48,499 esoteric mystical kind of a cult record 1155 00:58:52,749 --> 00:58:50,689 of everything the kind of CD you know 1156 00:58:54,729 --> 00:58:52,759 they woke up and I was used to work in a 1157 00:58:56,769 --> 00:58:54,739 new age bookshelf years ago we used to 1158 00:58:58,059 --> 00:58:56,779 cui used to call it the the Akashic CD 1159 00:59:03,099 --> 00:58:58,069 because you know nobody had records 1160 00:59:05,589 --> 00:59:03,109 anymore this is going back into the pre 1161 00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:05,599 pre pre history but he said with in the 1162 00:59:09,789 --> 00:59:07,130 beginning of the twentieth century there 1163 00:59:13,329 --> 00:59:09,799 was the the kind of the the pre echo of 1164 00:59:14,229 --> 00:59:13,339 this next huge you know epoch and and 1165 00:59:16,029 --> 00:59:14,239 this different evolution of 1166 00:59:18,279 --> 00:59:16,039 consciousness and he he could see signs 1167 00:59:19,839 --> 00:59:18,289 of it happening in the Russian soul so 1168 00:59:22,029 --> 00:59:19,849 there was a sense of great promise and 1169 00:59:24,399 --> 00:59:22,039 something new something that was going 1170 00:59:25,779 --> 00:59:24,409 to blend together the kind of mystical 1171 00:59:27,759 --> 00:59:25,789 side of the East because you know 1172 00:59:29,439 --> 00:59:27,769 Russia's half asian and half European 1173 00:59:30,879 --> 00:59:29,449 with you know the mystical East with the 1174 00:59:33,209 --> 00:59:30,889 scientific West was supposed to come 1175 00:59:34,989 --> 00:59:33,219 together in this new cultural 1176 00:59:37,209 --> 00:59:34,999 Renaissance that was happening in Russia 1177 00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:37,219 then and there were thinkers in Russia 1178 00:59:41,079 --> 00:59:38,329 who agreed with him you know 1179 00:59:42,879 --> 00:59:41,089 understandably and then yeah they were 1180 00:59:44,529 --> 00:59:42,889 very very influential I mean the whole 1181 00:59:48,030 --> 00:59:44,539 anthroposophical movement was very 1182 00:59:51,540 --> 00:59:48,040 influential in Russia even up until 1183 00:59:54,420 --> 00:59:51,550 after the Bolshevik Revolution there was 1184 00:59:57,450 --> 00:59:54,430 a sense that somehow with you know 1185 01:00:00,270 --> 00:59:57,460 overturning the old ways the you know 1186 01:00:01,770 --> 01:00:00,280 the the previous system there was an 1187 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:01,780 opportunity for something new to come in 1188 01:00:06,330 --> 01:00:04,570 and a great many followers of Steiners 1189 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:06,340 we're kind of fellow travelers with the 1190 01:00:09,630 --> 01:00:08,050 early Bolsheviks but then once you know 1191 01:00:10,740 --> 01:00:09,640 once everything the dust settled and all 1192 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:10,750 that they would they were wiped out 1193 01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:13,810 let's take our break right here live 1194 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:16,510 from the UK Gary Lachman is joining us 1195 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:18,970 we're discussing his new book and this

Church live from the UK 1306 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:52,810 tonight Gary Lachman joins us discussing 1307 01:05:59,210 --> 01:05:54,730 his new book that return of holy Russia 1308 01:06:02,610 --> 01:05:59,220 and the links forth are up in Twitter 1309 01:06:11,070 --> 01:06:02,620 you go and check it out and now now Gary 1310 01:06:14,750 --> 01:06:11,080 the the the general tone that we were 1311 01:06:17,550 --> 01:06:14,760 seeing in 1900 was that if from the 1312 01:06:20,250 --> 01:06:17,560 Theosophical society not only there but 1313 01:06:23,250 --> 01:06:20,260 out of livanski and Rudolf Steiner 1314 01:06:24,990 --> 01:06:23,260 but others other philosophers of the 1315 01:06:28,110 --> 01:06:25,000 time we're talking about this new age 1316 01:06:32,970 --> 01:06:28,120 but they were also discussing Atlantis 1317 01:06:36,420 --> 01:06:32,980 and Hermeticism and things that go back 1318 01:06:39,930 --> 01:06:36,430 thousands of years and they were looking 1319 01:06:42,590 --> 01:06:39,940 at Russia to be the the catalyst of this 1320 01:06:45,570 --> 01:06:42,600 and and the rise in the movement of this 1321 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:45,580 the storm that was happening around the 1322 01:06:52,590 --> 01:06:48,970 world not only the world war but the 1323 01:06:55,430 --> 01:06:52,600 revolution that was seemed to want to 1324 01:06:59,190 --> 01:06:55,440 happen so much so many times in Russia 1325 01:07:01,770 --> 01:06:59,200 what did this do to the overall view of 1326 01:07:04,110 --> 01:07:01,780 what they were speaking about but if 1327 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:04,120 Russia doesn't continue the way that 1328 01:07:11,450 --> 01:07:06,850 they needed to continue does this age 1329 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:11,460 also end with it well I mean that was 1330 01:07:15,780 --> 01:07:13,930 for people who you know we're aware of 1331 01:07:18,420 --> 01:07:15,790 this this was kind of the great loss it 1332 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:18,430 was again this is a lost opportunity I 1333 01:07:24,420 --> 01:07:21,250 mean it's not exactly the same but think 1334 01:07:26,610 --> 01:07:24,430 somehow if back you know during the 1335 01:07:29,550 --> 01:07:26,620 Renaissance you know or just at the 1336 01:07:31,590 --> 01:07:29,560 beginning and you know this rediscovery 1337 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:31,600 of the ancient texts that had been lost 1338 01:07:35,310 --> 01:07:33,130 and that's why we you know call the 1339 01:07:37,050 --> 01:07:35,320 previous time the Dark Ages and then 1340 01:07:38,310 --> 01:07:37,060 these things get translated and people 1341 01:07:40,010 --> 01:07:38,320 are just starting to get excited about 1342 01:07:43,770 --> 01:07:40,020 it and then suddenly it was all squashed 1343 01:07:46,050 --> 01:07:43,780 so not quite on this exact same scale 1344 01:07:49,980 --> 01:07:46,060 but it's similar to that so I mean if 1345 01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:49,990 you look at leading the years leading up 1346 01:07:53,850 --> 01:07:51,490 to this you have you know the great 1347 01:07:57,090 --> 01:07:53,860 Russian writers like Tolstoy Dostoyevsky 1348 01:07:58,109 --> 01:07:57,100 and and those are the ones we know the 1349 01:08:00,509 --> 01:07:58,119 most in the West but there 1350 01:08:05,339 --> 01:08:00,519 many many others around them and and the 1351 01:08:07,499 --> 01:08:05,349 central moving force then in in terms of 1352 01:08:09,839 --> 01:08:07,509 things happening actually you know on 1353 01:08:13,549 --> 01:08:09,849 the groundout and the practical was the 1354 01:08:16,110 --> 01:08:13,559 plight of the serfs the serfs in Russia 1355 01:08:17,789 --> 01:08:16,120 again not exactly the same but you know 1356 01:08:21,899 --> 01:08:17,799 kind of in the same ballpark we're in a 1357 01:08:24,870 --> 01:08:21,909 similar place in society in Russian life 1358 01:08:26,970 --> 01:08:24,880 as the slaves were in the American South 1359 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:26,980 let's say not exactly the same but you 1360 01:08:31,709 --> 01:08:29,770 know similar and the whole idea of what 1361 01:08:35,070 --> 01:08:31,719 are we going to do with the serfs okay 1362 01:08:36,829 --> 01:08:35,080 you have many Russian rulers trying to 1363 01:08:39,090 --> 01:08:36,839 come up with something to be able to 1364 01:08:40,140 --> 01:08:39,100 basically liberate them and free them 1365 01:08:42,419 --> 01:08:40,150 because they lived and you know 1366 01:08:44,459 --> 01:08:42,429 completely miserable conditions many of 1367 01:08:46,169 --> 01:08:44,469 them I mean this was again this is what 1368 01:08:47,910 --> 01:08:46,179 one the whole idea like you know there 1369 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:47,920 was so many of them too 1370 01:08:56,309 --> 01:08:53,650 and life was cheap and you can you can 1371 01:08:57,689 --> 01:08:56,319 see also why Christianity would be very 1372 01:09:00,510 --> 01:08:57,699 welcome there because this whole notion 1373 01:09:02,579 --> 01:09:00,520 of each individual life is unique and 1374 01:09:03,930 --> 01:09:02,589 sacred and all that and what people what 1375 01:09:05,399 --> 01:09:03,940 the serfs had more than anything else 1376 01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:05,409 was the religion so there was pressure 1377 01:09:09,629 --> 01:09:06,819 to come somehow do something their 1378 01:09:11,070 --> 01:09:09,639 plight was you know so obvious and this 1379 01:09:15,209 --> 01:09:11,080 this built up this was the pressure 1380 01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:15,219 cooker that sort of you can say that 1381 01:09:23,370 --> 01:09:19,409 when the kind of spiritual or religious 1382 01:09:26,430 --> 01:09:23,380 impetus to to solve that problem which 1383 01:09:27,899 --> 01:09:26,440 you get in the writings of Dostoevsky 1384 01:09:30,059 --> 01:09:27,909 and Tolstoy and other ones at the time 1385 01:09:34,620 --> 01:09:30,069 when that didn't happen 1386 01:09:37,260 --> 01:09:34,630 you know when sadly the Czar's there was 1387 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:37,270 a couple of them prior to nicholas that 1388 01:09:40,559 --> 01:09:39,250 actually wanted to do something about 1389 01:09:43,079 --> 01:09:40,569 they wanted to somehow change the 1390 01:09:46,789 --> 01:09:43,089 situation the service but fundamentally 1391 01:09:49,590 --> 01:09:46,799 they realized that the whole economy 1392 01:09:51,269 --> 01:09:49,600 that would collapse the landowners we 1393 01:09:52,950 --> 01:09:51,279 can go for it and in all of that then 1394 01:09:54,899 --> 01:09:52,960 the boyars the aristocracy couldn't go 1395 01:09:56,610 --> 01:09:54,909 for it so even though some some of those 1396 01:09:57,750 --> 01:09:56,620 always realized they had to change it 1397 01:09:59,340 --> 01:09:57,760 they couldn't see how they could do 1398 01:10:01,470 --> 01:09:59,350 without something like a complete 1399 01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:01,480 collapse of the society happening and so 1400 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:03,310 when it didn't the problem of the serfs 1401 01:10:08,820 --> 01:10:05,290 wasn't solved that way this is when you 1402 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:08,830 know Lenin basically you know saw an 1403 01:10:11,670 --> 01:10:11,530 opportunity and and and took it and if 1404 01:10:14,730 --> 01:10:11,680 you 1405 01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:14,740 Marxist philosophy I mean the revolution 1406 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:16,450 shouldn't have happened there it should 1407 01:10:20,010 --> 01:10:17,650 have happened in highly industrialized 1408 01:10:22,290 --> 01:10:20,020 Germany because in terms of Marx you 1409 01:10:24,750 --> 01:10:22,300 know if you get a highly industrialized 1410 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:24,760 society it's at that level when you know 1411 01:10:28,980 --> 01:10:27,010 the class war will come out and you know 1412 01:10:30,270 --> 01:10:28,990 eventually it will it'll turn into the 1413 01:10:33,330 --> 01:10:30,280 revolution so it should never have 1414 01:10:35,010 --> 01:10:33,340 happened in Russia it was it was such a 1415 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:35,020 situation as you said before that was 1416 01:10:38,970 --> 01:10:37,330 desperately seeking for something right 1417 01:10:40,470 --> 01:10:38,980 something that would change things and 1418 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:40,480 gain this this was the match that lit 1419 01:10:49,050 --> 01:10:44,610 the fuse basically well it was tough for 1420 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:49,060 the serfs to have any sympathy for for 1421 01:10:54,350 --> 01:10:51,610 the Tsarist regime at the time when 1422 01:10:58,980 --> 01:10:54,360 you're living in these palaces with the 1423 01:11:02,580 --> 01:10:58,990 extreme wealth that was very far removed 1424 01:11:07,590 --> 01:11:02,590 from the serfs and the other part is how 1425 01:11:10,740 --> 01:11:07,600 rooted was the esoteric in surf culture 1426 01:11:12,270 --> 01:11:10,750 because they were religious and that was 1427 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:12,280 a part of them but what about the 1428 01:11:17,730 --> 01:11:15,130 esoteric side was that part of was that 1429 01:11:19,530 --> 01:11:17,740 rooted as well well I think that was 1430 01:11:24,210 --> 01:11:19,540 something more the intellectual the 1431 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:24,220 cultured minority in Russia was more 1432 01:11:28,290 --> 01:11:27,010 open to that and available to in the 1433 01:11:29,700 --> 01:11:28,300 first place that because many of the 1434 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:29,710 service weren't educated think they 1435 01:11:34,290 --> 01:11:31,530 couldn't read right he couldn't write 1436 01:11:38,010 --> 01:11:34,300 and they lived at this they were living 1437 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:38,020 in the same way that the SERPs had been 1438 01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:39,610 living for the last thousand years I 1439 01:11:42,510 --> 01:11:41,110 mean they were they were living very 1440 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:42,520 much in the same way again this was 1441 01:11:47,970 --> 01:11:46,090 another thing about Russia the Russian 1442 01:11:49,110 --> 01:11:47,980 in the past was that it was still sort 1443 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:49,120 of half of it was still in the Middle 1444 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:52,810 Ages and you had the great you know 1445 01:11:56,550 --> 01:11:54,610 renovators people like Peter the Great 1446 01:11:58,470 --> 01:11:56,560 who was the Great Western Iser who you 1447 01:12:02,790 --> 01:11:58,480 know in the 18th century he starts to 1448 01:12:04,830 --> 01:12:02,800 try and drag Russia into you know what 1449 01:12:06,630 --> 01:12:04,840 was the modern world then you know make 1450 01:12:08,850 --> 01:12:06,640 it more European that's that's when st. 1451 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:08,860 Petersburg is created and st. Petersburg 1452 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:13,050 is a invented city it was just laid out 1453 01:12:17,490 --> 01:12:15,850 like a graph and it's it's based it's 1454 01:12:19,710 --> 01:12:17,500 basically st. Petersburg is based on 1455 01:12:21,780 --> 01:12:19,720 Amsterdam it's based on the city of 1456 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:21,790 canals and it's all in a kind of graph 1457 01:12:26,220 --> 01:12:23,890 and it's like you know 1458 01:12:27,510 --> 01:12:26,230 a checkerboard so you know that kind of 1459 01:12:30,300 --> 01:12:27,520 thing with the canals and this was 1460 01:12:32,310 --> 01:12:30,310 invented by Peter the Great because he 1461 01:12:35,970 --> 01:12:32,320 wanted a window onto the west people he 1462 01:12:37,890 --> 01:12:35,980 wanted to westernize and that that's 1463 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:37,900 there for a while but gradually it just 1464 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:39,690 doesn't take it just doesn't take and 1465 01:12:43,860 --> 01:12:41,770 the serfs they were deeply deeply 1466 01:12:45,150 --> 01:12:43,870 religious and you said there was this 1467 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:45,160 kind of resentment towards the 1468 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:47,890 aristocracy but towards the boyars you 1469 01:12:51,090 --> 01:12:49,330 know which were the aristocracy there 1470 01:12:54,030 --> 01:12:51,100 was but not actually towards the Tsar 1471 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:54,040 himself kosis there's this familial and 1472 01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:56,410 they need a relationship raised the 1473 01:12:59,940 --> 01:12:58,090 little father right he's a little 1474 01:13:01,530 --> 01:12:59,950 father's mother Russia which is the land 1475 01:13:03,420 --> 01:13:01,540 the soil and then the Tsar was little 1476 01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:03,430 father and up into the very end they 1477 01:13:07,710 --> 01:13:05,110 really believe that you know he had 1478 01:13:08,970 --> 01:13:07,720 their best interests in heart but you 1479 01:13:10,590 --> 01:13:08,980 know if you know anything about Russian 1480 01:13:12,660 --> 01:13:10,600 history the last Tsar Nicholas he was 1481 01:13:15,950 --> 01:13:12,670 many ways completely removed from the 1482 01:13:19,710 --> 01:13:15,960 people living in this kind of bubble we 1483 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:19,720 Rita and I we study this we discussed 1484 01:13:26,850 --> 01:13:22,570 this so much it is one of the craziest 1485 01:13:30,750 --> 01:13:26,860 parts of world history that you can ever 1486 01:13:31,980 --> 01:13:30,760 go and study it was a crazy time there's 1487 01:13:37,980 --> 01:13:31,990 no question about that 1488 01:13:42,980 --> 01:13:37,990 and when 1917 rolls around there is 1489 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:42,990 there's an image in the West now that 1490 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:45,690 religion and churches throughout 1491 01:13:51,890 --> 01:13:49,090 communism were shuttered and there 1492 01:13:55,140 --> 01:13:51,900 wasn't any wood but you can't remove 1493 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:55,150 religion from the people but that's what 1494 01:14:01,170 --> 01:13:57,130 they attempted to do and completely 1495 01:14:04,410 --> 01:14:01,180 stomp out everything was the goal of 1496 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:04,420 Lenin as he took power right yeah I mean 1497 01:14:10,980 --> 01:14:09,730 I mean yeah simple simple idea and this 1498 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:10,990 way it worked it was like this hope 1499 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:12,130 there was going to be a revolutionary 1500 01:14:19,050 --> 01:14:16,170 elite and again this goes back to a 1501 01:14:23,220 --> 01:14:19,060 couple decades before him you have in 1502 01:14:24,990 --> 01:14:23,230 the 1860s and 70s you have what you have 1503 01:14:27,390 --> 01:14:25,000 this rise of what are known as the new 1504 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:27,400 man and and these are very westernized 1505 01:14:33,780 --> 01:14:29,770 russian intellectuals who are extremely 1506 01:14:36,180 --> 01:14:33,790 pragmatic extremely utilitarian no 1507 01:14:36,990 --> 01:14:36,190 idealism nothing noble about this the 1508 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:37,000 whole thing is like 1509 01:14:41,660 --> 01:14:38,890 you know we have to take power this is 1510 01:14:44,430 --> 01:14:41,670 how we do it and the whole idea was to 1511 01:14:45,810 --> 01:14:44,440 again drag Russian Russian culture 1512 01:14:47,430 --> 01:14:45,820 dragged Russia into the modern world 1513 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:47,440 which at that time coming out of the 1514 01:14:52,050 --> 01:14:50,170 West was very pragmatic and utilitarian 1515 01:14:53,790 --> 01:14:52,060 you know John Mill and you know the 1516 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:53,800 greatest good of the greatest number and 1517 01:14:56,370 --> 01:14:54,850 all those sort of things so there's 1518 01:14:58,200 --> 01:14:56,380 nothing mystical and spiritual about 1519 01:15:01,010 --> 01:14:58,210 this this is completely pragmatic and 1520 01:15:05,330 --> 01:15:01,020 Lenin comes out of that background and 1521 01:15:08,670 --> 01:15:05,340 his main idea was we have to get rid of 1522 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:08,680 this notion of the spirit you have to 1523 01:15:14,430 --> 01:15:10,930 get rid of this notion of this inner 1524 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:14,440 world that the religion kind of panders 1525 01:15:18,450 --> 01:15:16,810 to because for him as for Marx you know 1526 01:15:19,860 --> 01:15:18,460 religion was the opium of the people so 1527 01:15:22,110 --> 01:15:19,870 this was something that was preventing 1528 01:15:25,740 --> 01:15:22,120 you know the great change from going on 1529 01:15:30,150 --> 01:15:25,750 and so yeah I mean he he set out to sort 1530 01:15:31,950 --> 01:15:30,160 of wiped out religion or not only 1531 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:31,960 religion but any kind of interior sense 1532 01:15:38,970 --> 01:15:34,930 and as if there's a wonderful in the 1533 01:15:42,930 --> 01:15:38,980 sense of just remarkable part of this 1534 01:15:45,780 --> 01:15:42,940 story was that in 1922 more or less 1535 01:15:48,590 --> 01:15:45,790 after the Civil War had had settled down 1536 01:15:51,750 --> 01:15:48,600 and you know the dust head had cleared 1537 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:51,760 there were many of these philosophers 1538 01:15:56,790 --> 01:15:53,770 and thinkers and poets and writers from 1539 01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:56,800 the Silver Age was still there and some 1540 01:16:00,390 --> 01:15:58,210 of them were fellow travelers because 1541 01:16:02,700 --> 01:16:00,400 they didn't like the past regime you 1542 01:16:05,610 --> 01:16:02,710 know they were aware of the inequities 1543 01:16:07,140 --> 01:16:05,620 of the aristocracy and so on and they 1544 01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:07,150 want to change too but they didn't want 1545 01:16:11,790 --> 01:16:09,490 it as radically or in the same radical 1546 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:11,800 way as Lenin did but he felt that he 1547 01:16:15,300 --> 01:16:13,330 couldn't eliminate them you know he 1548 01:16:17,250 --> 01:16:15,310 would get bad press in the West so he 1549 01:16:20,220 --> 01:16:17,260 put them all on these these steamers you 1550 01:16:22,950 --> 01:16:20,230 know these sort of steamboats and he 1551 01:16:24,990 --> 01:16:22,960 exiled them out of the West and there's 1552 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:25,000 what they call the philosophy steamers 1553 01:16:31,230 --> 01:16:29,290 so in like the fall of 1922 these big 1554 01:16:34,380 --> 01:16:31,240 kind of you know steam boats are leaving 1555 01:16:36,480 --> 01:16:34,390 Russia ended going to the west and just 1556 01:16:38,940 --> 01:16:36,490 getting rid of all these philosophers 1557 01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:38,950 and thinkers who you know very different 1558 01:16:42,390 --> 01:16:40,450 but they all share this notion of a kind 1559 01:16:45,330 --> 01:16:42,400 of real interior world where as Lenin 1560 01:16:47,370 --> 01:16:45,340 not know nothing I mean his the outer 1561 01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:47,380 world is the only real reality physical 1562 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:49,450 reality is the only real reality and if 1563 01:16:52,890 --> 01:16:50,410 you don't accept that 1564 01:16:54,690 --> 01:16:52,900 you're basically insane this and and and 1565 01:16:57,690 --> 01:16:54,700 this was something that you know it went 1566 01:16:59,910 --> 01:16:57,700 for a while but right but by the time by 1567 01:17:02,370 --> 01:16:59,920 the time you get into the 30s and Lenin 1568 01:17:05,420 --> 01:17:02,380 is gone and Stalinism power 1569 01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:05,430 to kind of shift back towards this 1570 01:17:10,020 --> 01:17:08,110 religious you know kind of sentiment 1571 01:17:11,430 --> 01:17:10,030 takes place and Stalin becomes the kind 1572 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:11,440 of religious leader at the same time 1573 01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:14,410 that you know that he's the leader of 1574 01:17:18,620 --> 01:17:16,210 the communist nation and certainly when 1575 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:18,630 the war starts you know international 1576 01:17:23,820 --> 01:17:20,650 communism is not going to get too many 1577 01:17:26,070 --> 01:17:23,830 people up and out to fight the Nazis but 1578 01:17:28,470 --> 01:17:26,080 protecting Mother Russia you know and 1579 01:17:31,890 --> 01:17:28,480 becomes holy Russia again so yes this is 1580 01:17:33,300 --> 01:17:31,900 a deeply ingrained sense of you know the 1581 01:17:35,430 --> 01:17:33,310 religious dimension of life is in these 1582 01:17:38,070 --> 01:17:35,440 people and it just can't get eradicated 1583 01:17:40,340 --> 01:17:38,080 there's another part to this I want to 1584 01:17:45,630 --> 01:17:40,350 touch upon before we get to the break 1585 01:17:49,050 --> 01:17:45,640 there is I'm just going to be very 1586 01:17:54,690 --> 01:17:49,060 straight about this there is an element 1587 01:17:56,490 --> 01:17:54,700 to Russia with an open mind that believe 1588 01:18:01,410 --> 01:17:56,500 it or not I don't think it exists in the 1589 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:01,420 West that is when it comes to the 1590 01:18:08,310 --> 01:18:04,570 esoteric and Hermeticism and also things 1591 01:18:13,700 --> 01:18:08,320 like ESP and and the powers of the mind 1592 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:13,710 and and other other beliefs that Russia 1593 01:18:20,940 --> 01:18:17,170 not only believed in but they did it in 1594 01:18:25,980 --> 01:18:20,950 a scientific research sense the KGB was 1595 01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:25,990 involved we're into these these you know 1596 01:18:30,690 --> 01:18:28,450 the supernatural and the paranormal and 1597 01:18:33,510 --> 01:18:30,700 everything else that goes along with it 1598 01:18:35,820 --> 01:18:33,520 right that that the United States and 1599 01:18:39,050 --> 01:18:35,830 its military establishment did not 1600 01:18:43,260 --> 01:18:39,060 embrace and it's because of Russia's 1601 01:18:47,250 --> 01:18:43,270 deep-rooted values into these principles 1602 01:18:48,750 --> 01:18:47,260 and it lasted all through communism all 1603 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:48,760 the way through to the fall of Russia 1604 01:18:54,900 --> 01:18:51,610 which continues through to this day does 1605 01:18:58,410 --> 01:18:54,910 that go back to the age of Blavatsky and 1606 01:19:00,630 --> 01:18:58,420 Rudolf dinah and the way that these 1607 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:00,640 beliefs were a part of their 1608 01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:04,250 unified Church right that had both both 1609 01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:07,250 things going on at the same time no 1610 01:19:11,020 --> 01:19:09,650 you're absolutely right something in the 1611 01:19:12,370 --> 01:19:11,030 Russian psyche universe and soul has 1612 01:19:14,110 --> 01:19:12,380 always been open to these things didn't 1613 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:14,120 have to remember you know Marxism 1614 01:19:18,970 --> 01:19:16,970 communism was a Western import it didn't 1615 01:19:22,780 --> 01:19:18,980 grow out of Russia whose imported from 1616 01:19:25,810 --> 01:19:22,790 the West I mean during World War one the 1617 01:19:28,630 --> 01:19:25,820 Kaiser weaponized Lenin you know Lenin 1618 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:28,640 was in exile in the West that he put him 1619 01:19:32,500 --> 01:19:30,770 on a train and the famous you know story 1620 01:19:34,390 --> 01:19:32,510 about the field to the Finland station 1621 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:34,400 and so he's puts on a train and he sent 1622 01:19:39,460 --> 01:19:37,370 into Russia and he he's the one who 1623 01:19:41,410 --> 01:19:39,470 gathers the you know the revolution 1624 01:19:43,630 --> 01:19:41,420 going and gets it going and all that so 1625 01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:43,640 it's that the communism the materialism 1626 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:47,090 that we associate with communism and not 1627 01:19:50,290 --> 01:19:49,130 ami materialism in Black Friday and 1628 01:19:52,930 --> 01:19:50,300 buying lots of things but in the 1629 01:19:54,610 --> 01:19:52,940 metaphysical sense that matter you know 1630 01:19:56,590 --> 01:19:54,620 physical matter is the only really real 1631 01:19:59,500 --> 01:19:56,600 thing I mean these are Western imports 1632 01:20:02,800 --> 01:19:59,510 and they were forced in many ways forced 1633 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:02,810 upon sort of the Russian psyche but that 1634 01:20:10,290 --> 01:20:05,570 would soon after yeah you have the KGB 1635 01:20:13,030 --> 01:20:10,300 you have different departments and in 1636 01:20:16,810 --> 01:20:13,040 early you know Bolshevik the Soviet 1637 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:16,820 regime or researching elements of the 1638 01:20:26,020 --> 01:20:20,210 esoteric I mean there was a whole plan 1639 01:20:29,230 --> 01:20:26,030 to send people into Tibet because there 1640 01:20:35,620 --> 01:20:29,240 was this idea that the ancient Tibetans 1641 01:20:37,870 --> 01:20:35,630 had their philosophy would somehow work 1642 01:20:39,460 --> 01:20:37,880 well with the Communist notion of you 1643 01:20:42,790 --> 01:20:39,470 know sort of the kind of egalitarian 1644 01:20:44,890 --> 01:20:42,800 notions of communism but they also were 1645 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:44,900 thought to have access to this what we 1646 01:20:50,170 --> 01:20:46,850 would call technology this kind of super 1647 01:20:52,420 --> 01:20:50,180 science you know and somehow you know 1648 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:52,430 secluded in the fastness of these caves 1649 01:20:56,410 --> 01:20:54,530 in Tibet where the were this was this 1650 01:20:58,750 --> 01:20:56,420 remarkable knowledge and they were you 1651 01:21:00,490 --> 01:20:58,760 know different departments for kind of 1652 01:21:03,370 --> 01:21:00,500 vying with each other to get the funds 1653 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:03,380 to mount expeditions to go into Tibet 1654 01:21:11,050 --> 01:21:09,050 and again in the 1920s but going back 1655 01:21:13,700 --> 01:21:11,060 into the early you know a bit earlier 1656 01:21:19,190 --> 01:21:13,710 1890s 1657 01:21:21,770 --> 01:21:19,200 the great game in India and this kind of 1658 01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:21,780 you know chess game political chess game 1659 01:21:26,440 --> 01:21:23,730 between the the British and the Russians 1660 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:26,450 for influence in India at that time and 1661 01:21:31,670 --> 01:21:29,730 this is Kim you know if there the read 1662 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:31,680 your Kipling story is a sort of based on 1663 01:21:39,410 --> 01:21:34,530 that but then in the 1920s you have 1664 01:21:40,850 --> 01:21:39,420 someone like the Russian artist and he 1665 01:21:42,950 --> 01:21:40,860 became a guru in the West Nicholas 1666 01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:42,960 Roerich who was at the AUSA fest he was 1667 01:21:49,370 --> 01:21:47,070 also a painter he's he was the 1668 01:21:51,350 --> 01:21:49,380 inspiration for Stravinsky's Rite of 1669 01:21:53,750 --> 01:21:51,360 Spring which was this you know the 1670 01:21:55,550 --> 01:21:53,760 inauguration of the modern age and music 1671 01:21:58,580 --> 01:21:55,560 and it when it was inaugurated and 1672 01:22:00,950 --> 01:21:58,590 whenever first debuted in Paris there 1673 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:00,960 were riots in 1913 because the music was 1674 01:22:06,380 --> 01:22:04,770 so raucous and the piece of music itself 1675 01:22:10,690 --> 01:22:06,390 is based on this notion of an ancient 1676 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:10,700 Russian sort of return for a ritual of 1677 01:22:18,440 --> 01:22:13,890 fertility that's why it's spring and all 1678 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:18,450 that and so and what at one point what 1679 01:22:23,870 --> 01:22:20,370 roerich tries to do is a fantastic story 1680 01:22:25,430 --> 01:22:23,880 III tell it in the book and also in an 1681 01:22:27,140 --> 01:22:25,440 earlier book Oh politics in the occult 1682 01:22:30,010 --> 01:22:27,150 is that in the nineteen twenties he 1683 01:22:32,450 --> 01:22:30,020 tried to set up a pan Buddhist nation 1684 01:22:35,180 --> 01:22:32,460 sort of in Central Asia 1685 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:35,190 and getting Buddhists from tobacco 1686 01:22:40,570 --> 01:22:38,250 mongolia china and and and the outlying 1687 01:22:42,950 --> 01:22:40,580 areas around me to come together into a 1688 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:42,960 kind of Union the United Buddhist nation 1689 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:45,090 and this was all based on this ancient 1690 01:22:50,690 --> 01:22:47,810 legend of Shambhala which is this hidden 1691 01:22:53,060 --> 01:22:50,700 secret mystical you know city or poor 1692 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:53,070 civilization he supposed to be you know 1693 01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:54,930 somewhere under the Gobi Desert or 1694 01:23:00,110 --> 01:22:57,330 somewhere else like that right and and 1695 01:23:01,970 --> 01:23:00,120 and the the Bolsheviks at the time the 1696 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:01,980 Soviet Union at the time they were 1697 01:23:06,050 --> 01:23:03,690 interested in this their interest is 1698 01:23:09,709 --> 01:23:06,060 interested in the idea there is you know 1699 01:23:12,979 --> 01:23:09,719 you know what I'm gonna jump in because 1700 01:23:17,570 --> 01:23:12,989 yeah I need your comment on this when 1701 01:23:20,870 --> 01:23:17,580 when I see images of not only Tibet 1702 01:23:22,459 --> 01:23:20,880 which was the 13th Department of the KGB 1703 01:23:25,879 --> 01:23:22,469 right the secret department 1704 01:23:28,339 --> 01:23:25,889 and you look at the these road trips 1705 01:23:32,709 --> 01:23:28,349 that they were doing not only into Tibet 1706 01:23:36,649 --> 01:23:32,719 but into Egypt and looking for Shambhala 1707 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:36,659 these were military officers in uniform 1708 01:23:43,459 --> 01:23:39,690 you didn't see anthropologists right 1709 01:23:46,339 --> 01:23:43,469 civilians archaeologists curators at a 1710 01:23:50,450 --> 01:23:46,349 museum going to look for interesting 1711 01:23:53,089 --> 01:23:50,460 things and and looking at history it was 1712 01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:53,099 always men in uniform which says that 1713 01:23:58,729 --> 01:23:55,530 the interest was at a whole nother level 1714 01:24:03,290 --> 01:23:58,739 than than education or university right 1715 01:24:05,870 --> 01:24:03,300 oh absolutely I mean the maxim gorky 1716 01:24:10,669 --> 01:24:05,880 who's one of the well-known writers from 1717 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:10,679 from this period he he believed in what 1718 01:24:16,759 --> 01:24:13,130 we today would call mental science or 1719 01:24:18,500 --> 01:24:16,769 new thought or positive thinking and he 1720 01:24:22,609 --> 01:24:18,510 was very much involved in very early 1721 01:24:27,290 --> 01:24:22,619 research into parapsychology and so did 1722 01:24:29,469 --> 01:24:27,300 telekinesis or telepathy and and he 1723 01:24:32,540 --> 01:24:29,479 wanted to use this sort of for 1724 01:24:34,250 --> 01:24:32,550 propagandist reasons too you know you 1725 01:24:37,790 --> 01:24:34,260 had the you have the you had the whole a 1726 01:24:40,219 --> 01:24:37,800 jet prop you know works going on where 1727 01:24:41,719 --> 01:24:40,229 you know traveling theatres and 1728 01:24:44,540 --> 01:24:41,729 musicians are going throughout you know 1729 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:44,550 Russia to different parts of the country 1730 01:24:50,029 --> 01:24:46,170 and bringing the message and all that 1731 01:24:51,919 --> 01:24:50,039 but he said well what if this telepathy 1732 01:24:53,060 --> 01:24:51,929 is true and he believed it was in there 1733 01:24:54,529 --> 01:24:53,070 and there were quite a few Russian 1734 01:24:56,450 --> 01:24:54,539 scientists at the time researching it 1735 01:24:58,640 --> 01:24:56,460 and they they came up but what they 1736 01:25:00,560 --> 01:24:58,650 considered to be evidence you know for 1737 01:25:03,410 --> 01:25:00,570 it being fractional so why can't we use 1738 01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:03,420 this why don't we somehow you know use 1739 01:25:08,660 --> 01:25:05,130 this to spread the word and also at the 1740 01:25:11,239 --> 01:25:08,670 same time if we can learn these 1741 01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:11,249 techniques of self development and you 1742 01:25:14,989 --> 01:25:13,170 know spiritual evolution why can't we 1743 01:25:17,359 --> 01:25:14,999 use these to create you know better and 1744 01:25:19,100 --> 01:25:17,369 better comrades basically better and 1745 01:25:20,660 --> 01:25:19,110 other human beings and so there was you 1746 01:25:23,930 --> 01:25:20,670 know it was a real practical sense it 1747 01:25:25,850 --> 01:25:23,940 was and it carried on it was going on in 1748 01:25:27,589 --> 01:25:25,860 the 70s and it's you know it's it's 1749 01:25:29,270 --> 01:25:27,599 still going on to some degree today but 1750 01:25:31,069 --> 01:25:29,280 it's because it was part of their 1751 01:25:35,029 --> 01:25:31,079 culture right you can't have that 1752 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:35,039 discussion at the Pentagon well I mean 1753 01:25:39,830 --> 01:25:36,330 what I understand apparently 1754 01:25:41,270 --> 01:25:39,840 you do but it's hush-hush and people 1755 01:25:43,970 --> 01:25:41,280 come on your show and talk about it and 1756 01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:43,980 spill the beans but but no I mean again 1757 01:25:47,870 --> 01:25:46,770 this is something that you have to 1758 01:25:51,440 --> 01:25:47,880 remember you have to think you know 1759 01:25:53,450 --> 01:25:51,450 think at this time by 1917 and the 1760 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:53,460 Bolshevik Revolution you had Wars were 1761 01:25:58,670 --> 01:25:56,010 you had the whole problem with Russia 1762 01:26:01,460 --> 01:25:58,680 itself you know to begin with in a 1763 01:26:03,890 --> 01:26:01,470 century of it trying to deal with the 1764 01:26:05,330 --> 01:26:03,900 serfs and and and and to drag it into 1765 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:05,340 the modern world then you have World War 1766 01:26:12,440 --> 01:26:10,290 one erupt and Russia basically has 1767 01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:12,450 soldiers and that's about it you know 1768 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:15,810 many of them go in they don't have much 1769 01:26:19,070 --> 01:26:17,370 ammunition if they have any ammunition 1770 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:19,080 some of them don't even have you know 1771 01:26:23,870 --> 01:26:20,610 rifles or anything they're just 1772 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:23,880 basically fodder they're just thrown you 1773 01:26:28,220 --> 01:26:25,650 know thousands and thousands of them are 1774 01:26:30,170 --> 01:26:28,230 just thrown you know against against the 1775 01:26:32,450 --> 01:26:30,180 enemy and all that and then you have the 1776 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:32,460 Russian Revolution happen right and then 1777 01:26:37,070 --> 01:26:35,250 you've got the Civil War and so you have 1778 01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:37,080 this country that's in complete collapse 1779 01:26:41,750 --> 01:26:39,450 I mean we you know things are dicey for 1780 01:26:44,270 --> 01:26:41,760 us today and you know things have been 1781 01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:44,280 very iffy in the last few years in the 1782 01:26:49,370 --> 01:26:46,650 West but nothing like what happened in 1783 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:49,380 Russia at the time and if you ever the 1784 01:26:54,740 --> 01:26:53,370 the one of the it's not a direct account 1785 01:26:57,710 --> 01:26:54,750 of that but it's a book that's written 1786 01:26:59,570 --> 01:26:57,720 against that backdrop is this

already made a name for 2057 01:40:06,750 --> 01:40:04,780 himself with his with his book so he was 2058 01:40:07,380 --> 01:40:06,760 someone who was well known I mean again 2059 01:40:10,020 --> 01:40:07,390 that's the other thing 2060 01:40:11,490 --> 01:40:10,030 Spence key was well known kerchief he 2061 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:11,500 didn't become really very well known 2062 01:40:16,770 --> 01:40:13,570 until again after his death I mean there 2063 01:40:19,170 --> 01:40:16,780 were people he comes through the West in 2064 01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:19,180 the 20s again it's a fantastic story 2065 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:21,940 because Russia's collapsed both of them 2066 01:40:27,810 --> 01:40:25,530 find themselves in in refugee camps in 2067 01:40:29,700 --> 01:40:27,820 Constantinople assumed to be hist humble 2068 01:40:33,510 --> 01:40:29,710 you know trying to get into Europe like 2069 01:40:37,770 --> 01:40:33,520 many immigrants today coming from the 2070 01:40:41,550 --> 01:40:37,780 east are trying to and this fantastic 2071 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:41,560 story but is Fenske he saved from this 2072 01:40:45,780 --> 01:40:44,530 refugee camp because lady Rothermere who 2073 01:40:48,270 --> 01:40:45,790 was the wife of the famous newspaper 2074 01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:48,280 Baron in England at the time she was a 2075 01:40:53,790 --> 01:40:51,610 reader of his books and she tracked him 2076 01:40:55,620 --> 01:40:53,800 down and sent him a telegram saying 2077 01:40:57,300 --> 01:40:55,630 money no expense you know where do you 2078 01:40:59,460 --> 01:40:57,310 want to meet London New York and all 2079 01:41:03,630 --> 01:40:59,470 that and so she shipped him over to 2080 01:41:06,570 --> 01:41:03,640 London and this 1921 and she sets him up 2081 01:41:08,370 --> 01:41:06,580 in to give lectures in a fashionable 2082 01:41:10,230 --> 01:41:08,380 part of London st. John's word and 2083 01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:10,240 people like TS Eliot you know the poet 2084 01:41:16,710 --> 01:41:13,570 Aldous Huxley right others are coming to 2085 01:41:19,980 --> 01:41:16,720 these lectures and he's teaching them 2086 01:41:21,540 --> 01:41:19,990 not what he had written about already 2087 01:41:22,140 --> 01:41:21,550 there's a book of his called tertium 2088 01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:22,150 organum 2089 01:41:26,100 --> 01:41:24,010 which means the third organ of thought 2090 01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:26,110 and he's talking about higher space and 2091 01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:29,050 the 6th and 5th 4th dimension and you 2092 01:41:33,270 --> 01:41:31,170 know he was very interested in time and 2093 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:33,280 notions of different dimensions of time 2094 01:41:35,790 --> 01:41:34,330 and things of that sort but he's 2095 01:41:37,230 --> 01:41:35,800 teaching them this new system that he's 2096 01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:37,240 learned from Gurdjieff which is 2097 01:41:41,429 --> 01:41:39,850 radically austere and the fundamental 2098 01:41:43,649 --> 01:41:41,439 idea is that you know we're all 2099 01:41:45,839 --> 01:41:43,659 machines we think we're free but we're 2100 01:41:47,939 --> 01:41:45,849 actually we're mechanical or we think 2101 01:41:49,979 --> 01:41:47,949 we're awake but for really asleep and we 2102 01:41:51,149 --> 01:41:49,989 can't awake we can't become free but you 2103 01:41:54,929 --> 01:41:51,159 have to go through this long and 2104 01:41:56,909 --> 01:41:54,939 difficult process of training ourselves 2105 01:41:58,830 --> 01:41:56,919 you know how to achieve and maintain 2106 01:42:01,739 --> 01:41:58,840 these these states of more wakefulness 2107 01:42:03,799 --> 01:42:01,749 and intense consciousness and dispense 2108 01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:03,809 key becomes his front man and and 2109 01:42:09,750 --> 01:42:06,489 introduces Gurdjieff to the west this is 2110 01:42:13,169 --> 01:42:09,760 still being researched today in in 2111 01:42:15,719 --> 01:42:13,179 Russia all of these concepts about you 2112 01:42:18,089 --> 01:42:15,729 know the brain and consciousness and who 2113 01:42:20,459 --> 01:42:18,099 is running whoo right are you running 2114 01:42:22,379 --> 01:42:20,469 yeah yeah absolutely I mean one of the 2115 01:42:24,179 --> 01:42:22,389 things is with the collapse of the USSR 2116 01:42:26,279 --> 01:42:24,189 because all of this esoteric literature 2117 01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:26,289 was banned right you couldn't get it 2118 01:42:33,659 --> 01:42:30,130 right it was available in Thomas not you 2119 01:42:37,259 --> 01:42:33,669 know the forbidden kind of you know 2120 01:42:38,759 --> 01:42:37,269 Xerox Nemea graft you know this is 2121 01:42:41,009 --> 01:42:38,769 obviously well before the internet and 2122 01:42:43,049 --> 01:42:41,019 things of that sort so pages from these 2123 01:42:44,669 --> 01:42:43,059 books are getting sort of circulated in 2124 01:42:46,770 --> 01:42:44,679 these groups but you know the official 2125 01:42:48,209 --> 01:42:46,780 culture this is old banned and all of 2126 01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:48,219 that and even writers like to us they 2127 01:42:52,259 --> 01:42:51,489 have ski you know to see up ski was he 2128 01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:52,269 wasn't left 2129 01:42:55,799 --> 01:42:54,010 he wasn't progressive in that way you 2130 01:42:57,870 --> 01:42:55,809 know his his leanings were more towards 2131 01:42:59,939 --> 01:42:57,880 tradition and that that tends to put you 2132 01:43:04,500 --> 01:42:59,949 on the right side of the political 2133 01:43:06,089 --> 01:43:04,510 spectrum so he wasn't you know you know 2134 01:43:07,529 --> 01:43:06,099 one of the greatest writers of the world 2135 01:43:13,109 --> 01:43:07,539 he's up there with Shakespeare but you 2136 01:43:15,330 --> 01:43:13,119 know he wasn't even what when you when 2137 01:43:18,060 --> 01:43:15,340 you when you look back at this certainly 2138 01:43:21,959 --> 01:43:18,070 with researching how this is what's so 2139 01:43:25,169 --> 01:43:21,969 interesting to me how fascinated are you 2140 01:43:30,149 --> 01:43:25,179 with the forward thinking that was going 2141 01:43:33,179 --> 01:43:30,159 on from 1890 to 1920 of totally 2142 01:43:36,449 --> 01:43:33,189 visionary in that today we're speaking 2143 01:43:40,790 --> 01:43:36,459 about this now but this is but this is 2144 01:43:43,009 --> 01:43:40,800 what we do today and they were actually 2145 01:43:46,890 --> 01:43:43,019 developing and speaking about these 2146 01:43:50,729 --> 01:43:46,900 concepts 100 years ago isn't that 2147 01:43:53,159 --> 01:43:50,739 mind-blowing totally absolutely I mean 2148 01:43:55,649 --> 01:43:53,169 one of the things I say in the book is 2149 01:43:58,949 --> 01:43:55,659 that many of the I 2150 01:44:00,870 --> 01:43:58,959 is or the sensibility that was expressed 2151 01:44:03,989 --> 01:44:00,880 in this period with these mystical 2152 01:44:06,089 --> 01:44:03,999 philosophers and was lost with the rise 2153 01:44:08,549 --> 01:44:06,099 of the Bolsheviks oh there's something 2154 01:44:10,709 --> 01:44:08,559 that we can we could benefit from today 2155 01:44:13,159 --> 01:44:10,719 and this is one of the main reasons for 2156 01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:13,169 doing the book is that because I knew 2157 01:44:18,209 --> 01:44:16,090 the III knew the writers and 2158 01:44:19,799 --> 01:44:18,219 philosophers that Putin was referring to 2159 01:44:21,870 --> 01:44:19,809 I mentioned this reading list he was 2160 01:44:23,429 --> 01:44:21,880 giving to his regional governors that's 2161 01:44:25,109 --> 01:44:23,439 why that's why I knew when David Brooks 2162 01:44:26,669 --> 01:44:25,119 and people in new york times when they 2163 01:44:28,679 --> 01:44:26,679 were writing their critical response to 2164 01:44:30,149 --> 01:44:28,689 this that they either they did it on 2165 01:44:34,379 --> 01:44:30,159 purpose or they just were ignorant about 2166 01:44:36,060 --> 01:44:34,389 you know the true kind of sentiment that 2167 01:44:37,770 --> 01:44:36,070 these philosophers were expressing and 2168 01:44:39,149 --> 01:44:37,780 so i thought no this is wrong you know 2169 01:44:43,489 --> 01:44:39,159 they're they're they're painting them as 2170 01:44:45,629 --> 01:44:43,499 these kind of totalitarian you know 2171 01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:45,639 Exceptionalist kind of thing and yes 2172 01:44:51,299 --> 01:44:47,050 there was this notion that russia was 2173 01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:51,309 going to be able to lead you know the 2174 01:44:55,500 --> 01:44:53,530 world into this new kind of age but it 2175 01:44:57,209 --> 01:44:55,510 wasn't sort of the dominance of russia 2176 01:44:58,919 --> 01:44:57,219 in this kind of political sense not to 2177 01:45:00,569 --> 01:44:58,929 say that people at the time didn't read 2178 01:45:01,799 --> 01:45:00,579 it that way and wanted to one wanted it 2179 01:45:04,290 --> 01:45:01,809 to be that way but it was in this kind 2180 01:45:07,729 --> 01:45:04,300 of spiritual sense i mean though there 2181 01:45:11,370 --> 01:45:07,739 was a there was a famous philosopher in 2182 01:45:12,270 --> 01:45:11,380 the late 19th century the West people in 2183 01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:12,280 the West not really know him but his 2184 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:13,570 name is Vladimir Soloviev 2185 01:45:18,719 --> 01:45:16,570 and actually Steiner spoke even quoted 2186 01:45:21,810 --> 01:45:18,729 that notice penske spoke of him too but 2187 01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:21,820 he repeatedly kind of appealed to the 2188 01:45:27,390 --> 01:45:25,570 Czar at the time to you know embody in 2189 01:45:32,850 --> 01:45:27,400 your own being these Christian virtues 2190 01:45:35,159 --> 01:45:32,860 in these Christian values and the wealth 2191 01:45:36,870 --> 01:45:35,169 there was trying to think which which 2192 01:45:39,049 --> 01:45:36,880 one it was well one of those ours his 2193 01:45:42,149 --> 01:45:39,059 father had just been assassinated and 2194 01:45:43,469 --> 01:45:42,159 that's how he came to power and this is 2195 01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:43,479 another thing that it was happening all 2196 01:45:47,879 --> 01:45:45,489 the time it's time towards our Tsar 2197 01:45:51,209 --> 01:45:47,889 getting blown up and shot at and all the 2198 01:45:52,679 --> 01:45:51,219 time and solovyev asked the new Tsar I 2199 01:45:54,929 --> 01:45:52,689 said you know as your first act why 2200 01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:54,939 don't you be lenient towards you know 2201 01:45:58,500 --> 01:45:57,010 the assassins show this Christian virtue 2202 01:46:01,169 --> 01:45:58,510 of forgiveness and all this kind of 2203 01:46:02,669 --> 01:46:01,179 thing and lead the world in this and the 2204 01:46:04,379 --> 01:46:02,679 Tsar said no I'm you know these people 2205 01:46:05,909 --> 01:46:04,389 are going to be executed I'm going to 2206 01:46:07,709 --> 01:46:05,919 unpin down and all this sort of thing so 2207 01:46:09,340 --> 01:46:07,719 is this whole notion of Russia being 2208 01:46:11,410 --> 01:46:09,350 able to be this example this 2209 01:46:15,220 --> 01:46:11,420 exemplar at this time of this you know 2210 01:46:17,470 --> 01:46:15,230 spiritual sort of consciousness and a 2211 01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:17,480 lot of those ideas or stuff that's 2212 01:46:22,660 --> 01:46:19,850 around today in the New Age I mean again 2213 01:46:24,670 --> 01:46:22,670 the whole the whole kind of resurgence 2214 01:46:26,350 --> 01:46:24,680 of interest in the magic and the 2215 01:46:29,530 --> 01:46:26,360 esoteric and the mystical that sort of 2216 01:46:32,890 --> 01:46:29,540 in in the West in the modern age that 2217 01:46:34,390 --> 01:46:32,900 gets going sort of in the 1960s this is 2218 01:46:36,820 --> 01:46:34,400 my first book is about this called turn 2219 01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:36,830 off your mind which is about the occult 2220 01:46:41,470 --> 01:46:39,530 revival of the 1960s right um those 2221 01:46:43,690 --> 01:46:41,480 ideas go back to Blavatsky those ideas 2222 01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:43,700 go back to the late 19th century I mean 2223 01:46:49,510 --> 01:46:45,770 if you do a bit of history and a do bit 2224 01:46:52,420 --> 01:46:49,520 of homework and you look at there's this 2225 01:46:54,730 --> 01:46:52,430 was a remarkable place in Switzerland 2226 01:46:57,910 --> 01:46:54,740 called monteverde the mountain of truth 2227 01:47:00,520 --> 01:46:57,920 and it's in its narrow place called 2228 01:47:03,100 --> 01:47:00,530 Ascona which is in the Italian section 2229 01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:03,110 of Switzerland and it has this strange 2230 01:47:06,450 --> 01:47:04,970 microclimate of its own it's you you 2231 01:47:11,110 --> 01:47:06,460 think you're in the Mediterranean there 2232 01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:11,120 it's remarkable but in the 1890s 1900s 2233 01:47:16,650 --> 01:47:12,410 this is where like some of the first 2234 01:47:20,860 --> 01:47:16,660 communes back-to-nature 2235 01:47:23,770 --> 01:47:20,870 matrix you're free love experiment with 2236 01:47:25,510 --> 01:47:23,780 drugs and experiment with you know 2237 01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:25,520 different mystical yoga all these ideas 2238 01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:28,850 the vegetarianism all this kind of stuff 2239 01:47:33,670 --> 01:47:30,890 is happening then and it gets kind of in 2240 01:47:35,350 --> 01:47:33,680 a repackage in the 60s and again you 2241 01:47:37,510 --> 01:47:35,360 know with us it's become part of this 2242 01:47:38,980 --> 01:47:37,520 new age mind/body/spirit culture that's 2243 01:47:41,980 --> 01:47:38,990 been with us now for a few decades 2244 01:47:46,290 --> 01:47:41,990 yeah and it's it's way over a hundred 2245 01:47:49,860 --> 01:47:46,300 years old you can say and you read 2246 01:47:53,020 --> 01:47:49,870 especially when you read some of the 2247 01:47:56,290 --> 01:47:53,030 presentations by Rudolf Steiner or or 2248 01:47:58,450 --> 01:47:56,300 any of beloved skis writings and you 2249 01:48:00,370 --> 01:47:58,460 feel also you know what I can go into HP 2250 01:48:03,820 --> 01:48:00,380 Lovecraft you brought that up too as 2251 01:48:08,740 --> 01:48:03,830 well full on could have been written 2252 01:48:10,900 --> 01:48:08,750 last week and I'm not I'm not kidding 2253 01:48:15,250 --> 01:48:10,910 about that soul is speaking about that 2254 01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:15,260 in 1920 when you said that the the new 2255 01:48:20,860 --> 01:48:16,010 rush 2256 01:48:24,820 --> 01:48:20,870 the Eurasian movement was there was was 2257 01:48:28,330 --> 01:48:24,830 the esoteric and mysticism part of the 2258 01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:28,340 Eurasian ideals oh well there's a kind 2259 01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:32,050 of mysticism it was sort of comes out of 2260 01:48:38,140 --> 01:48:35,890 what was known as the Slava file 2261 01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:38,150 movement in the nineteenth century which 2262 01:48:41,740 --> 01:48:40,370 was I kind of returned to Russian roots 2263 01:48:44,970 --> 01:48:41,750 it was sort of the anti European 2264 01:48:49,810 --> 01:48:44,980 movement right so he had the Westerners 2265 01:48:52,210 --> 01:48:49,820 sort of following the sort of trajectory 2266 01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:52,220 that Peter the Great starts and tried to 2267 01:48:56,020 --> 01:48:54,170 westernize and I mentioned the new men 2268 01:48:58,720 --> 01:48:56,030 you know they were kind of bringing in 2269 01:49:01,120 --> 01:48:58,730 these strictly utilitarian practical you 2270 01:49:03,100 --> 01:49:01,130 know graph paper ideas about how to you 2271 01:49:04,690 --> 01:49:03,110 know have a new society and the slava 2272 01:49:08,020 --> 01:49:04,700 files had this notion of this mystical 2273 01:49:09,910 --> 01:49:08,030 sense of the Russian soul and they have 2274 01:49:12,100 --> 01:49:09,920 they had this idealized version of the 2275 01:49:15,010 --> 01:49:12,110 Russian peasant and and he has he has 2276 01:49:16,690 --> 01:49:15,020 these deep roots in the soil deep roots 2277 01:49:19,570 --> 01:49:16,700 in the earth right right it's the whole 2278 01:49:22,510 --> 01:49:19,580 notion of a kind of peasant wisdom and 2279 01:49:24,430 --> 01:49:22,520 this kind of deep intuition that isn't 2280 01:49:26,590 --> 01:49:24,440 articulate like in the West it isn't 2281 01:49:28,900 --> 01:49:26,600 very you know eloquent ik doesn't use 2282 01:49:30,850 --> 01:49:28,910 words very well but it has a great deal 2283 01:49:34,090 --> 01:49:30,860 of soul I mean this again another thing 2284 01:49:36,310 --> 01:49:34,100 that the Russian people in psyche you 2285 01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:36,320 noted for is this kind of deep sense of 2286 01:49:40,480 --> 01:49:39,050 soul and and and and and unity in 2287 01:49:43,180 --> 01:49:40,490 connection with each other's hope that 2288 01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:43,190 the notion of brotherhood I mean one of 2289 01:49:46,330 --> 01:49:45,290 the people I write about in the early 2290 01:49:49,230 --> 01:49:46,340 part of the book who's the German 2291 01:49:52,750 --> 01:49:49,240 philosopher named Oswald Spengler and 2292 01:49:54,970 --> 01:49:52,760 he's not as well known these days but in 2293 01:49:55,780 --> 01:49:54,980 the early 20th century he was actually 2294 01:49:57,700 --> 01:49:55,790 well known because you read a book 2295 01:49:59,890 --> 01:49:57,710 called the decline of the West and this 2296 01:50:01,780 --> 01:49:59,900 is one of the early kind of big big 2297 01:50:03,970 --> 01:50:01,790 bestsellers about how the West was you 2298 01:50:07,270 --> 01:50:03,980 know in its last days and it was a huge 2299 01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:07,280 bestseller in Europe and in the 2300 01:50:11,230 --> 01:50:09,290 english-speaking countries as well and 2301 01:50:14,170 --> 01:50:11,240 it came it was published just after 2302 01:50:15,970 --> 01:50:14,180 World War 1 this whole idea that said 2303 01:50:17,830 --> 01:50:15,980 was that he had this biological view of 2304 01:50:19,870 --> 01:50:17,840 civilizations in history the 2305 01:50:22,060 --> 01:50:19,880 civilizations were organisms and they're 2306 01:50:23,830 --> 01:50:22,070 born they grow they mature they reach a 2307 01:50:26,410 --> 01:50:23,840 peak and then they start to decline and 2308 01:50:28,940 --> 01:50:26,420 they die how popular was the book for 2309 01:50:32,950 --> 01:50:30,200 it was really part of me it was really 2310 01:50:34,820 --> 01:50:32,960 well known I mean all the you know 2311 01:50:36,770 --> 01:50:34,830 brilliant minds of the time we're 2312 01:50:38,780 --> 01:50:36,780 discussing it right because you hear 2313 01:50:42,650 --> 01:50:38,790 people reference it all the time I 2314 01:50:45,650 --> 01:50:42,660 haven't read it but just the title of 2315 01:50:48,620 --> 01:50:45,660 the book suggests it must have been 2316 01:50:51,350 --> 01:50:48,630 pretty powerful and it's actually it's 2317 01:50:53,480 --> 01:50:51,360 whether you agree with his thesis or not 2318 01:50:54,710 --> 01:50:53,490 it's a it's cut the way the book is 2319 01:50:58,520 --> 01:50:54,720 written it's actually hypnotic because 2320 01:51:00,730 --> 01:50:58,530 he he has this marvelous way of showing 2321 01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:00,740 analogies between different 2322 01:51:04,910 --> 01:51:02,730 civilizations at different times in 2323 01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:04,920 history so chronologically there are 2324 01:51:09,620 --> 01:51:07,650 different times but morphologically the 2325 01:51:11,480 --> 01:51:09,630 way they're shaped their form right is 2326 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:11,490 similar so he would say I don't know 2327 01:51:16,730 --> 01:51:13,170 just top of my head you know a certain 2328 01:51:19,070 --> 01:51:16,740 kind of political movement starting in 2329 01:51:21,230 --> 01:51:19,080 ancient Rome at a certain time is 2330 01:51:22,790 --> 01:51:21,240 mirrored in modern times by something 2331 01:51:24,110 --> 01:51:22,800 you know some other movement somewhere 2332 01:51:26,540 --> 01:51:24,120 else in other country you know they're 2333 01:51:28,820 --> 01:51:26,550 separated by by centuries but in their 2334 01:51:30,620 --> 01:51:28,830 form and and so it's this whole this 2335 01:51:32,450 --> 01:51:30,630 whole notion that there's a shape to 2336 01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:32,460 history this is shape to I mean the 2337 01:51:36,170 --> 01:51:33,810 Western idea is that it just kind of 2338 01:51:38,030 --> 01:51:36,180 goes on you know there's no kind of it's 2339 01:51:41,150 --> 01:51:38,040 progress you know increasing 2340 01:51:44,060 --> 01:51:41,160 technological technological mastery of 2341 01:51:45,530 --> 01:51:44,070 the world and increasing you know higher 2342 01:51:47,690 --> 01:51:45,540 standards of living but there isn't the 2343 01:51:49,190 --> 01:51:47,700 sense that there's a kind of shape to 2344 01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:49,200 time there's a kind of shape to his and 2345 01:51:52,100 --> 01:51:50,130 again this is something that the 2346 01:51:53,390 --> 01:51:52,110 Russians have this is sort of shaped the 2347 01:51:56,150 --> 01:51:53,400 history history is heading towards 2348 01:51:59,270 --> 01:51:56,160 something there's a trajectory and 2349 01:52:02,570 --> 01:51:59,280 Spangler he believed that the West was 2350 01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:02,580 going under and that there was this 2351 01:52:08,090 --> 01:52:06,050 Eurasian notion this was something that 2352 01:52:10,190 --> 01:52:08,100 again it's around the time of the 2353 01:52:12,440 --> 01:52:10,200 revolution there were these Russian 2354 01:52:15,740 --> 01:52:12,450 intellectuals who they weren't Marxists 2355 01:52:19,670 --> 01:52:15,750 and they weren't Leninists but they they 2356 01:52:22,010 --> 01:52:19,680 didn't care for the Czar and that regime 2357 01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:22,020 as well and what they believed was going 2358 01:52:27,500 --> 01:52:24,690 to happen was that the revolution was 2359 01:52:29,300 --> 01:52:27,510 happening it wasn't going to last it was 2360 01:52:34,580 --> 01:52:29,310 going to collapse it would collapse soon 2361 01:52:37,130 --> 01:52:34,590 and so the Eurasian is that there were 2362 01:52:39,980 --> 01:52:37,140 these intellectuals who left Russia they 2363 01:52:42,430 --> 01:52:39,990 went into exile into places like Prague 2364 01:52:44,110 --> 01:52:42,440 and Paris and others 2365 01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:44,120 and what they were doing is they were 2366 01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:45,890 waiting out the revolution and they were 2367 01:52:50,950 --> 01:52:48,890 going to return to Russia and again they 2368 01:52:51,670 --> 01:52:50,960 knew that Russia would need a new 2369 01:52:52,750 --> 01:52:51,680 identity 2370 01:52:54,490 --> 01:52:52,760 you know once once the revolution 2371 01:52:56,050 --> 01:52:54,500 collapse which they believe is going to 2372 01:52:58,900 --> 01:52:56,060 happen it would need a new sense of 2373 01:53:01,360 --> 01:52:58,910 direction and they developed this notion 2374 01:53:03,970 --> 01:53:01,370 of Eurasia and Eurasia is you know it 2375 01:53:06,610 --> 01:53:03,980 means Europe and Asia and Russia was 2376 01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:06,620 supposed to be this new Eurasian 2377 01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:09,290 civilization that was arising as the 2378 01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:10,489 West was going under 2379 01:53:15,970 --> 01:53:13,570 according to Spangler this new 2380 01:53:17,740 --> 01:53:15,980 civilization was going to arise and it 2381 01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:17,750 would be this Eurasian civilization and 2382 01:53:22,479 --> 01:53:20,330 it reached from Vladivostok to you know 2383 01:53:24,340 --> 01:53:22,489 st. Petersburg and it was this huge is 2384 01:53:27,970 --> 01:53:24,350 the biggest landmass on the planet you 2385 01:53:29,290 --> 01:53:27,980 know the mother of all continents and it 2386 01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:29,300 was going to come into its own with its 2387 01:53:34,900 --> 01:53:31,010 own kind of culture its own you know 2388 01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:34,910 sense of how society should be organized 2389 01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:37,010 its own politics it's its own everything 2390 01:53:46,750 --> 01:53:44,650 trying to catch up with Europe you know 2391 01:53:51,220 --> 01:53:46,760 and again in Russian history that was 2392 01:53:52,450 --> 01:53:51,230 happening a lot and Peter's a court and 2393 01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:52,460 the Catherine the Great and others they 2394 01:53:55,300 --> 01:53:53,330 were they're westernized every 2395 01:53:57,910 --> 01:53:55,310 Francophiles you know they were trying 2396 01:53:59,740 --> 01:53:57,920 to emulate the French aristocracy and 2397 01:54:01,540 --> 01:53:59,750 all that and the eraser is saying that 2398 01:54:03,370 --> 01:54:01,550 that's all out of the picture would not 2399 01:54:05,590 --> 01:54:03,380 like that at all and they had the sense 2400 01:54:08,970 --> 01:54:05,600 of this again like the Slava files is 2401 01:54:11,740 --> 01:54:08,980 this deep sense of a rooted kind of 2402 01:54:13,420 --> 01:54:11,750 Russian psyche and rush or Eurasian 2403 01:54:15,310 --> 01:54:13,430 psyche and Eurasian consciousness that 2404 01:54:18,490 --> 01:54:15,320 they were once the revolution collapsed 2405 01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:18,500 they were going to return and and you 2406 01:54:24,970 --> 01:54:20,090 know start this going but you know 2407 01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:24,980 they're the ETA of the end of them they 2408 01:54:30,010 --> 01:54:26,570 were very optimistic about the ETA of 2409 01:54:33,070 --> 01:54:30,020 the you know end of the revolution it 2410 01:54:35,020 --> 01:54:33,080 didn't happen let me let me jump in 2411 01:54:38,620 --> 01:54:35,030 before the break when when this didn't 2412 01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:38,630 happen was this part of some of the 2413 01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:42,290 early deaths that were a part of this 2414 01:54:49,139 --> 01:54:45,730 crowd and and suicides because the 2415 01:54:52,049 --> 01:54:49,149 collapse of Europe didn't happen 2416 01:54:56,310 --> 01:54:52,059 the Russian Revolution didn't go into 2417 01:54:57,569 --> 01:54:56,320 part 2 or part 3 what was that one yeah 2418 01:55:00,659 --> 01:54:57,579 well there was certainly certainly 2419 01:55:02,250 --> 01:55:00,669 enough among the intellectuals who 2420 01:55:02,850 --> 01:55:02,260 belong to this Eurasian this kind of 2421 01:55:04,770 --> 01:55:02,860 group 2422 01:55:06,899 --> 01:55:04,780 yeah they became completely you know 2423 01:55:08,310 --> 01:55:06,909 depressed and disenchanted and 2424 01:55:09,959 --> 01:55:08,320 disheartened and you know some of them 2425 01:55:12,149 --> 01:55:09,969 turned the zoo so someone just faded out 2426 01:55:15,919 --> 01:55:12,159 and all that and the whole idea kind of 2427 01:55:21,149 --> 01:55:15,929 just went into it was mothballed until 2428 01:55:27,709 --> 01:55:21,159 the collapse of the Soviet Union and it 2429 01:55:33,419 --> 01:55:30,089 calm kind of Russian historian a guy 2430 01:55:36,959 --> 01:55:33,429 named loved guma lev whose father by the 2431 01:55:38,369 --> 01:55:36,969 way was a one of the poets from the 2432 01:55:39,719 --> 01:55:38,379 Silver Age and he was he was 2433 01:55:42,899 --> 01:55:39,729 assassinated by the Cheka 2434 01:55:48,209 --> 01:55:42,909 of the the early Soviet secret society 2435 01:55:53,699 --> 01:55:48,219 and he he sort of repackaged is so 2436 01:55:55,259 --> 01:55:53,709 Eurasian idea one of the weirdest things 2437 01:55:58,020 --> 01:55:55,269 about so many of these people is that 2438 01:56:00,449 --> 01:55:58,030 Goodman live was spent many many years 2439 01:56:02,909 --> 01:56:00,459 in in the gulags he spent many many 2440 01:56:05,969 --> 01:56:02,919 years in these political prisons but 2441 01:56:07,560 --> 01:56:05,979 when he came out came out of them he was 2442 01:56:09,179 --> 01:56:07,570 released in the 50s but he came into 2443 01:56:13,020 --> 01:56:09,189 prominence sort of in the eighties you 2444 01:56:15,929 --> 01:56:13,030 know towards the the rise of the 2445 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:15,939 perestroika and and all of that his 2446 01:56:19,770 --> 01:56:18,010 ideas were really picked up and this was 2447 01:56:22,469 --> 01:56:19,780 like yes this is the new identity you 2448 01:56:24,299 --> 01:56:22,479 know for for Russia was this Eurasian 2449 01:56:27,540 --> 01:56:24,309 idea and he had a remarkable success for 2450 01:56:30,959 --> 01:56:27,550 years before he died and but he embraced 2451 01:56:32,909 --> 01:56:30,969 the very system that had imprisoned him 2452 01:56:34,529 --> 01:56:32,919 this is another weird thing that happens 2453 01:56:35,750 --> 01:56:34,539 you have it's kind of like the Stockholm 2454 01:56:39,509 --> 01:56:35,760 Syndrome 2455 01:56:41,609 --> 01:56:39,519 you know you you you sort of get on the 2456 01:56:43,709 --> 01:56:41,619 side of your your captor you know if 2457 01:56:45,359 --> 01:56:43,719 you're kidnapped or and this would 2458 01:56:47,669 --> 01:56:45,369 happen to gumilev so he was in prison 2459 01:56:48,869 --> 01:56:47,679 for there's so many different charges 2460 01:56:51,419 --> 01:56:48,879 brought up against him at different 2461 01:56:54,989 --> 01:56:51,429 times and he was finally released in the 2462 01:56:56,729 --> 01:56:54,999 50s after Stalin died and there was what 2463 01:56:59,879 --> 01:56:56,739 they call the Khrushchev thaw you know 2464 01:57:01,649 --> 01:56:59,889 there was a kind of frozen block of 2465 01:57:03,410 --> 01:57:01,659 Russian society thought a bit after 2466 01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:03,420 Stalin died and there 2467 01:57:08,339 --> 01:57:06,250 loosening and the kind of kind of early 2468 01:57:11,959 --> 01:57:08,349 perestroika sort of thing and then with 2469 01:57:14,189 --> 01:57:11,969 Brezhnev that-that'll little collapsed 2470 01:57:16,140 --> 01:57:14,199 there's gonna say Goomba that sort of 2471 01:57:19,430 --> 01:57:16,150 repackages whole Eurasian idea and that 2472 01:57:21,919 --> 01:57:19,440 he became he was like became a celebrity 2473 01:57:25,890 --> 01:57:21,929 anthropologist a celebrity sort of 2474 01:57:27,770 --> 01:57:25,900 historian and you know stamps his honor 2475 01:57:31,020 --> 01:57:27,780 and schools made in his honor and his 2476 01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:31,030 ideas were just basically established as 2477 01:57:37,140 --> 01:57:35,650 fact for Russian science he's not known 2478 01:57:39,180 --> 01:57:37,150 in the West but in Russia he's he's like 2479 01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:39,190 one of the most famous people around 2480 01:57:44,339 --> 01:57:42,610 yeah and when we discuss the book is 2481 01:57:46,799 --> 01:57:44,349 important because not only what the 2482 01:57:49,530 --> 01:57:46,809 Silver Age is but when we talk about 2483 01:57:51,780 --> 01:57:49,540 things like you're Asian most people 2484 01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:51,790 think that it's a modern word it's a 2485 01:57:58,500 --> 01:57:54,610 modern term it's a modern concept that 2486 01:58:03,149 --> 01:57:58,510 the when we talk about stuff today like 2487 01:58:07,850 --> 01:58:03,159 that that it goes back to 1920 1910 and 2488 01:58:10,649 --> 01:58:07,860 these concepts may have been squashed 2489 01:58:15,660 --> 01:58:10,659 over the last 70 years but here we are 2490 01:58:18,359 --> 01:58:15,670 in 2020 Eurasian is real Russia is real 2491 01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:18,369 and are all of these concepts now from 2492 01:58:23,310 --> 01:58:19,770 the past 2493 01:58:27,330 --> 01:58:23,320 now's you know it didn't happen in in 2494 01:58:30,959 --> 01:58:27,340 1920 but things may happen in 2020 right 2495 01:58:33,479 --> 01:58:30,969 or absolutely I mean if again if you if 2496 01:58:36,180 --> 01:58:33,489 you are aware of Putin speeches over the 2497 01:58:40,370 --> 01:58:36,190 last you know decade or so he drops he 2498 01:58:43,470 --> 01:58:40,380 drops Eurasia all the time and there's 2499 01:58:45,060 --> 01:58:43,480 someone I write about a bit in holy 2500 01:58:47,580 --> 01:58:45,070 Russia but I write about her more in the 2501 01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:47,590 previous book dark snow rising it's a 2502 01:58:53,970 --> 01:58:50,050 very strange character named Alexander 2503 01:58:56,069 --> 01:58:53,980 Dugan who is one of the weirdest kind of 2504 01:59:01,459 --> 01:58:56,079 trajectories and in modern or postmodern 2505 01:59:04,709 --> 01:59:01,469 politics PPP surfaces well he comes into 2506 01:59:08,370 --> 01:59:04,719 history first as a anti-soviet Punk in 2507 01:59:14,430 --> 01:59:08,380 the 1980s and through the strangest kind 2508 01:59:15,459 --> 01:59:14,440 of series of metamorphosis now or at 2509 01:59:17,290 --> 01:59:15,469 least 2510 01:59:19,839 --> 01:59:17,300 last what I've heard of him he was 2511 01:59:23,439 --> 01:59:19,849 lecturing on geopolitics to the general 2512 01:59:25,060 --> 01:59:23,449 staff at the Kremlin but he Pepe he's 2513 01:59:27,219 --> 01:59:25,070 someone who picked up on this eurasian 2514 01:59:29,680 --> 01:59:27,229 idea as well and he has this vicious 2515 01:59:32,140 --> 01:59:29,690 talk about apocalyptic history he has 2516 01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:32,150 this vision of a final knock-down 2517 01:59:36,939 --> 01:59:34,610 drag-out battle between what he calls 2518 01:59:41,469 --> 01:59:36,949 the Atlanta cysts which are the Western 2519 01:59:44,140 --> 01:59:41,479 maritime countries the u.s. us or UK and 2520 01:59:46,060 --> 01:59:44,150 what he calls Eurasia which is the 2521 01:59:50,290 --> 01:59:46,070 mother of all continents which is the 2522 01:59:52,540 --> 01:59:50,300 this vast landmass that he believes as I 2523 01:59:54,910 --> 01:59:52,550 said earlier that it's not a it's not 2524 01:59:57,100 --> 01:59:54,920 rush Russia is not just become a new 2525 01:59:58,979 --> 01:59:57,110 nation and incidentally this is the 2526 02:00:01,299 --> 01:59:58,989 first time in Russia is not an empire 2527 02:00:03,069 --> 02:00:01,309 throughout its history it's been an 2528 02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:03,079 empire all the time except say for the 2529 02:00:07,029 --> 02:00:05,090 time the centuries when it was under the 2530 02:00:09,009 --> 02:00:07,039 Mongol yoke when it was you know 2531 02:00:10,899 --> 02:00:09,019 controlled by the Tartars but it's never 2532 02:00:13,359 --> 02:00:10,909 just been a country like a regular just 2533 02:00:15,430 --> 02:00:13,369

02:00:23,229 --> 02:00:21,829 now is the Russian Empire and Putin has 2537 02:00:24,580 --> 02:00:23,239 picked up on this notion of Eurasia 2538 02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:24,590 again it's like you're

02:05:01,500 discuss his new book it is called the 2632 02:05:06,230 --> 02:05:03,870 return of holy Russia apocalyptic 2633 02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:06,240 history mystical awakening and the 2634 02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:08,730 struggle for the soul of the world and 2635 02:05:17,510 --> 02:05:12,930 now this has been a great discussion and 2636 02:05:23,060 --> 02:05:17,520 it leads us now to today Gary and I 2637 02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:23,070 would say that Putin is very aware of 2638 02:05:30,590 --> 02:05:26,970 his image and that as a country Russia 2639 02:05:32,810 --> 02:05:30,600 and those that support him all the way 2640 02:05:36,290 --> 02:05:32,820 over here to the United States I'd say 2641 02:05:38,930 --> 02:05:36,300 his image is pretty good well he just 2642 02:05:42,260 --> 02:05:38,940 you know he just put himself in the 2643 02:05:44,390 --> 02:05:42,270 driver's seat for another six years so 2644 02:05:46,670 --> 02:05:44,400 yeah I mean apparently the people I mean 2645 02:05:48,350 --> 02:05:46,680 what I understand I mean I'm not I don't 2646 02:05:51,530 --> 02:05:48,360 have too much contact with too many 2647 02:05:53,090 --> 02:05:51,540 Russians but some that I have been in 2648 02:05:54,920 --> 02:05:53,100 touch with and talked to they say yes 2649 02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:54,930 you know we don't have you know maybe 2650 02:05:59,270 --> 02:05:56,610 the same kind of civil liberties in the 2651 02:06:00,290 --> 02:05:59,280 same way and blah blah blah but we've 2652 02:06:03,500 --> 02:06:00,300 never had it so good 2653 02:06:05,300 --> 02:06:03,510 you know we've it's the standard of 2654 02:06:07,880 --> 02:06:05,310 living is much better here than it's 2655 02:06:09,860 --> 02:06:07,890 ever been and actually you know we like 2656 02:06:12,530 --> 02:06:09,870 Putin and I think the other thing too is 2657 02:06:14,330 --> 02:06:12,540 that after you know again if you the 2658 02:06:16,190 --> 02:06:14,340 country just collapsed you know the 2659 02:06:19,970 --> 02:06:16,200 country collapsed it was on its knees in 2660 02:06:22,190 --> 02:06:19,980 the late 90s and what usually happens 2661 02:06:24,980 --> 02:06:22,200 something like that happens a strongman 2662 02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:24,990 appears you know to bring order back and 2663 02:06:30,020 --> 02:06:27,690 you know whatever you may think of his 2664 02:06:31,700 --> 02:06:30,030 tactics or his motives and all that he 2665 02:06:33,320 --> 02:06:31,710 certainly seems to have done that of 2666 02:06:37,010 --> 02:06:33,330 course at the same time there's a lot of 2667 02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:37,020 opposition to him and there's a lot of 2668 02:06:44,240 --> 02:06:40,290 people who want the want the Western you 2669 02:06:46,820 --> 02:06:44,250 know way of life they it's this idea 2670 02:06:50,990 --> 02:06:46,830 that it didn't really get a chance you 2671 02:06:52,610 --> 02:06:51,000 know the the sort of oligarchs and you 2672 02:06:55,700 --> 02:06:52,620 know the political gangsters moved in 2673 02:06:57,950 --> 02:06:55,710 too quickly and and took over so the you 2674 02:07:00,170 --> 02:06:57,960 know the Western democratic free-market 2675 02:07:01,610 --> 02:07:00,180 approach didn't have time to take root 2676 02:07:03,710 --> 02:07:01,620 so I mean there's always been an 2677 02:07:07,380 --> 02:07:03,720 opposition in Russia there's oh there's 2678 02:07:09,450 --> 02:07:07,390 there's been a strain of a westernized 2679 02:07:12,600 --> 02:07:09,460 let's say over more Western a more 2680 02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:12,610 liberal kind of approach even back in in 2681 02:07:20,790 --> 02:07:17,050 its ancient history Moscow you know came 2682 02:07:23,580 --> 02:07:20,800 to prominence but an earlier city town 2683 02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:23,590 Novgorod had a history of being more 2684 02:07:30,630 --> 02:07:25,810 liberal you know western-style 2685 02:07:32,490 --> 02:07:30,640 democratic kind of country and it it 2686 02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:32,500 came to a certain prominence during the 2687 02:07:39,780 --> 02:07:35,770 reign of Ivan the Terrible and he 2688 02:07:42,090 --> 02:07:39,790 actually decimated it laughing I 2689 02:07:46,380 --> 02:07:42,100 shouldn't but now he literally destroyed 2690 02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:46,390 the city and he he hauled it in and the 2691 02:07:49,620 --> 02:07:48,370 story is that he you know just basically 2692 02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:49,630 slaughtered something like forty 2693 02:07:55,020 --> 02:07:51,730 thousand people there because of some 2694 02:07:57,150 --> 02:07:55,030 slight so I just bring it in that yeah 2695 02:07:59,790 --> 02:07:57,160 Putin's got a good he's got a good image 2696 02:08:02,940 --> 02:07:59,800 he's got a good rep he knows how to do 2697 02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:02,950 his PR in this earlier book Dark Star 2698 02:08:11,460 --> 02:08:07,170 rising I have a chapter about Putin's 2699 02:08:16,100 --> 02:08:11,470 earlier sort of reign in the 2000s and 2700 02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:16,110 into sort of the mid 2000 teens when his 2701 02:08:22,350 --> 02:08:20,050 spin-doctor his PR man guy named lettuce 2702 02:08:24,270 --> 02:08:22,360 lobster Cove he was in control of this 2703 02:08:26,330 --> 02:08:24,280 kind of virtual reality Russia because 2704 02:08:31,050 --> 02:08:26,340 he had complete control over the media 2705 02:08:33,570 --> 02:08:31,060 and so news and television programs and 2706 02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:33,580 magazines and all that became this kind 2707 02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:37,050 of virtual reality that Surkov was 2708 02:08:41,940 --> 02:08:39,610 inventing to keep the Russian populace 2709 02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:41,950 occupied and happy was the kind of 2710 02:08:51,300 --> 02:08:45,010 technological burden surfaces and he 2711 02:08:55,770 --> 02:08:51,310 swims topless with Tigers he's got my 2712 02:08:59,610 --> 02:08:55,780 vote and there's as we continue this 2713 02:09:02,820 --> 02:08:59,620 where we are today I want to go back 2714 02:09:05,460 --> 02:09:02,830 just a little bit because it involves 2715 02:09:09,180 --> 02:09:05,470 today and that is things like the 2716 02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:09,190 Illuminati and the Freemasons and and 2717 02:09:15,420 --> 02:09:12,010 and what was happening back then does 2718 02:09:17,670 --> 02:09:15,430 that continue through today as well well 2719 02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:17,680 it could very well I'm not that 2720 02:09:21,060 --> 02:09:20,530 well-versed in contemporary Freemasonry 2721 02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:21,070 in Russia 2722 02:09:28,490 --> 02:09:25,570 certainly in the past in in the late 2723 02:09:31,399 --> 02:09:28,500 18th in the early 19th century 2724 02:09:35,220 --> 02:09:31,409 Freemasonry was very very important in 2725 02:09:41,330 --> 02:09:35,230 Russian society and this is at a time 2726 02:09:46,530 --> 02:09:41,340 when the church seemed to have lost its 2727 02:09:50,819 --> 02:09:46,540 kind of spiritual seriousness it seemed 2728 02:09:53,310 --> 02:09:50,829 to have lost the kind of what do you 2729 02:09:57,350 --> 02:09:53,320 want to call it kind of gravitas that 2730 02:09:59,310 --> 02:09:57,360 that had had for such a long time and 2731 02:10:01,560 --> 02:09:59,320 people that was spiritually minded 2732 02:10:03,479 --> 02:10:01,570 seriously minded they could no longer 2733 02:10:05,339 --> 02:10:03,489 find a kind of home in the church and 2734 02:10:08,810 --> 02:10:05,349 then they were also very much against 2735 02:10:13,859 --> 02:10:11,370 kind of customs and culture that was in 2736 02:10:14,459 --> 02:10:13,869 in in the Russian Court so Catherine the 2737 02:10:17,220 --> 02:10:14,469 Great 2738 02:10:20,609 --> 02:10:17,230 Freemasonry rose in Russia around her 2739 02:10:24,120 --> 02:10:20,619 time and she initially was interested in 2740 02:10:26,189 --> 02:10:24,130 it but then she became she was a reader 2741 02:10:28,770 --> 02:10:26,199 of Voltaire and the French fill 2742 02:10:31,050 --> 02:10:28,780 ourselves who were you know atheist very 2743 02:10:32,760 --> 02:10:31,060 anti religion and he mystical of that 2744 02:10:35,069 --> 02:10:32,770 sort and then she turned against it and 2745 02:10:39,270 --> 02:10:35,079 she turned against it many ways because 2746 02:10:41,970 --> 02:10:39,280 of the Masonic offshoot you mentioned 2747 02:10:43,770 --> 02:10:41,980 the Illuminati and I I know you know the 2748 02:10:45,149 --> 02:10:43,780 loominatee today you know God if you if 2749 02:10:46,410 --> 02:10:45,159 you read stuff that you see online 2750 02:10:48,510 --> 02:10:46,420 I'm practically every buddies in the 2751 02:10:52,740 --> 02:10:48,520 Illuminati mean I hi I may very well be 2752 02:10:56,540 --> 02:10:52,750 and I I think you are but the actual 2753 02:11:01,589 --> 02:10:56,550 historical Illuminati is in the 1780s 2754 02:11:03,839 --> 02:11:01,599 it was Adam Weiss helped who was a 2755 02:11:06,890 --> 02:11:03,849 radical political thinker in Bavaria 2756 02:11:10,859 --> 02:11:06,900 which is you know southern Germany and 2757 02:11:12,780 --> 02:11:10,869 he the funny thing about the historical 2758 02:11:16,439 --> 02:11:12,790 Illuminati is that they really weren't 2759 02:11:21,089 --> 02:11:16,449 mystical at all they were really a 2760 02:11:23,339 --> 02:11:21,099 radical you know anti anti monarchy you 2761 02:11:28,470 --> 02:11:23,349 know movement that had infiltrated the 2762 02:11:31,319 --> 02:11:28,480 larger Masonic organizations and I 2763 02:11:33,149 --> 02:11:31,329 stopped if there was kind of a wolf in 2764 02:11:35,890 --> 02:11:33,159 sheep's clothing because he you know 2765 02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:35,900 created this 2766 02:11:41,110 --> 02:11:39,290 kind of persona of the Illuminati is 2767 02:11:46,210 --> 02:11:41,120 being a higher more mystical kind of 2768 02:11:48,280 --> 02:11:46,220 esoteric branch or level or Freemasonry 2769 02:11:50,860 --> 02:11:48,290 but actually had this plan to sort of 2770 02:11:53,650 --> 02:11:50,870 undermine you know the monarchy and all 2771 02:11:56,350 --> 02:11:53,660 of that and you know sort of create a 2772 02:11:58,240 --> 02:11:56,360 kind of liberal progressive society in 2773 02:12:00,970 --> 02:11:58,250 Europe and when that word got out about 2774 02:12:03,900 --> 02:12:00,980 this the Bavarian government you know 2775 02:12:05,710 --> 02:12:03,910 cracked down on the Illuminati and then 2776 02:12:07,900 --> 02:12:05,720 governments throughout Europe did the 2777 02:12:09,760 --> 02:12:07,910 same with Masonic groups and so is that 2778 02:12:11,620 --> 02:12:09,770 that sort of happened happened in Russia 2779 02:12:13,360 --> 02:12:11,630 but there was a great I mean his 2780 02:12:16,890 --> 02:12:13,370 wonderful stories the mantle of ASCII 2781 02:12:19,180 --> 02:12:16,900 tells about her great-grandfather and 2782 02:12:21,640 --> 02:12:19,190 she says that when she was a young girl 2783 02:12:24,880 --> 02:12:21,650 or a teenager she discovered his occult 2784 02:12:27,730 --> 02:12:24,890 library and this is when she first sort 2785 02:12:29,260 --> 02:12:27,740 of started on her wrote her own road in 2786 02:12:31,390 --> 02:12:29,270 search of the unknown and the miraculous 2787 02:12:34,210 --> 02:12:31,400 but she talks about coming for some 2788 02:12:36,460 --> 02:12:34,220 document that her great-grandfather who 2789 02:12:39,940 --> 02:12:36,470 was part of this sort of Rosicrucian 2790 02:12:41,470 --> 02:12:39,950 Masonic strain that was very popular and 2791 02:12:42,490 --> 02:12:41,480 influential in Russia at the time and 2792 02:12:45,040 --> 02:12:42,500 they had this whole plan for the 2793 02:12:48,250 --> 02:12:45,050 reconstruction of Europe so I mean yeah 2794 02:12:51,280 --> 02:12:48,260 there certainly was some sense that you 2795 02:12:53,170 --> 02:12:51,290 know the Masons at this time if not just 2796 02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:53,180 the Illuminati but sort of Freemasonry 2797 02:12:57,070 --> 02:12:55,250 itself had this this sense of some kind 2798 02:12:58,870 --> 02:12:57,080 of political reconstruction and I 2799 02:13:00,490 --> 02:12:58,880 mentioned the Rosicrucians and if you 2800 02:13:02,850 --> 02:13:00,500 know about the Rosicrucian this was this 2801 02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:02,860 secret society that started up in the 2802 02:13:10,060 --> 02:13:07,130 early 1600s in Germany and they too had 2803 02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:10,070 this notion of this grand reconstruction 2804 02:13:17,140 --> 02:13:12,530 of Europe they were a friend of mine 2805 02:13:20,170 --> 02:13:17,150 calls them the esoteric wing of the 2806 02:13:22,090 --> 02:13:20,180 Protestant revolution because we're 2807 02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:22,100 secretions combine sort of hermetic 2808 02:13:26,410 --> 02:13:24,410 science with the rising you know what we 2809 02:13:27,580 --> 02:13:26,420 know is science they didn't see them as 2810 02:13:29,350 --> 02:13:27,590 antithetical they saw them as 2811 02:13:30,880 --> 02:13:29,360 complementary and they wanted to sort of 2812 02:13:32,650 --> 02:13:30,890 bring the two together much as we were 2813 02:13:35,770 --> 02:13:32,660 talking about you know different ways 2814 02:13:37,150 --> 02:13:35,780 earlier earlier and what they wanted to 2815 02:13:39,430 --> 02:13:37,160 do that politically and socially was 2816 02:13:43,570 --> 02:13:39,440 sort of throw up the hasp ergs you know 2817 02:13:45,940 --> 02:13:43,580 control of the Habsburg dynasty was you 2818 02:13:48,430 --> 02:13:45,950 know this very conservative austere 2819 02:13:51,729 --> 02:13:48,440 Roman Catholic and they were 2820 02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:51,739 you know holding society down then and 2821 02:13:57,370 --> 02:13:54,890 the Rosicrucians wanted to overthrow 2822 02:14:01,209 --> 02:13:57,380 that and one of the things they promoted 2823 02:14:02,680 --> 02:14:01,219 was universal education and something 2824 02:14:05,200 --> 02:14:02,690 that many people in the West don't know 2825 02:14:08,070 --> 02:14:05,210 one of the people that's associated with 2826 02:14:12,150 --> 02:14:08,080 the Rosicrucian was a felony on Comenius 2827 02:14:15,040 --> 02:14:12,160 who's FISA he's a well-known figure in 2828 02:14:17,050 --> 02:14:15,050 sort of Eastern Europe in the Czech 2829 02:14:18,610 --> 02:14:17,060 Republic in and places like that 2830 02:14:22,590 --> 02:14:18,620 and he's known as the father of modern 2831 02:14:25,330 --> 02:14:22,600 education because he worked to promote 2832 02:14:27,100 --> 02:14:25,340 kind of universal education but what we 2833 02:14:29,200 --> 02:14:27,110 take for granted today you know this was 2834 02:14:30,490 --> 02:14:29,210 something that the first Christian idea 2835 02:14:33,450 --> 02:14:30,500 was that knowledge should be should be 2836 02:14:36,310 --> 02:14:33,460 shared it should you know spread out and 2837 02:14:37,900 --> 02:14:36,320 instead of each you know instead of it 2838 02:14:40,570 --> 02:14:37,910 being something that's hoarded and and 2839 02:14:41,860 --> 02:14:40,580 again controlled by one sort of segment 2840 02:14:44,650 --> 02:14:41,870 of society is something that should be 2841 02:14:47,950 --> 02:14:44,660 shared by all I've never met a 2842 02:14:51,070 --> 02:14:47,960 Rosicrucian well nobody did apparently 2843 02:14:53,820 --> 02:14:51,080 here's the thing yeah this is the story 2844 02:14:57,459 --> 02:14:53,830 they the famously they nailed these 2845 02:15:00,850 --> 02:14:57,469 manifestos put them up in this town 2846 02:15:02,560 --> 02:15:00,860 castle in Germany announcing the arrival 2847 02:15:05,020 --> 02:15:02,570 of the Rosicrucians and then asking 2848 02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:05,030 people to join them and then when people 2849 02:15:09,100 --> 02:15:07,730 tried to join them they couldn't find 2850 02:15:13,390 --> 02:15:09,110 them in they couldn't find them I've 2851 02:15:14,860 --> 02:15:13,400 never met one the funny thing is is that 2852 02:15:16,689 --> 02:15:14,870 the people who wanted to join the 2853 02:15:18,220 --> 02:15:16,699 Rosicrucians became the Rosicrucians 2854 02:15:19,990 --> 02:15:18,230 themselves so it was kind of 2855 02:15:23,080 --> 02:15:20,000 self-fulfilling prophecy so it's sort of 2856 02:15:25,300 --> 02:15:23,090 a secret society conspiracy that didn't 2857 02:15:26,770 --> 02:15:25,310 exist until the people who read about it 2858 02:15:29,830 --> 02:15:26,780 made it made it happen 2859 02:15:32,950 --> 02:15:29,840 now with the fall of the Soviet Union in 2860 02:15:36,939 --> 02:15:32,960 in 1991 one of the first things that 2861 02:15:39,280 --> 02:15:36,949 happened were all of those churches were 2862 02:15:42,820 --> 02:15:39,290 unsheltered right now you could go to 2863 02:15:45,010 --> 02:15:42,830 church on Saturday and Sunday absolutely 2864 02:15:49,510 --> 02:15:45,020 and church has become very very popular 2865 02:15:52,240 --> 02:15:49,520 again and many places that were 2866 02:15:55,720 --> 02:15:52,250 associated with the collapse of the 2867 02:15:57,760 --> 02:15:55,730 Romanovs have become kind of pilgrimage 2868 02:16:00,009 --> 02:15:57,770 sites now I mean so the place where they 2869 02:16:02,979 --> 02:16:00,019 were assassinated 2870 02:16:04,179 --> 02:16:02,989 in a Camry Nidal if I'm pronouncing it 2871 02:16:06,839 --> 02:16:04,189 correctly 2872 02:16:09,009 --> 02:16:06,849 we're Nicolas in Alexandria and and 2873 02:16:10,839 --> 02:16:09,019 anastacio although there's a story that 2874 02:16:12,669 --> 02:16:10,849 she escaped where they were they were 2875 02:16:14,799 --> 02:16:12,679 killed they were murdered this has 2876 02:16:17,049 --> 02:16:14,809 become a kind of site of holy pilgrimage 2877 02:16:18,819 --> 02:16:17,059 now I don't know if you saw the 2878 02:16:22,479 --> 02:16:18,829 documentary series that came out last 2879 02:16:27,579 --> 02:16:22,489 year on it but it was really well done 2880 02:16:28,989 --> 02:16:27,589 and that that last day of the family and 2881 02:16:33,839 --> 02:16:28,999 the way that that you know because they 2882 02:16:37,299 --> 02:16:33,849 were imprisoned up until that point but 2883 02:16:40,660 --> 02:16:37,309 that that is something that a culture a 2884 02:16:43,990 --> 02:16:40,670 society cannot be proud of and it 2885 02:16:47,320 --> 02:16:44,000 certainly has a different feeling today 2886 02:16:51,939 --> 02:16:47,330 for for Russia and all of you know for 2887 02:16:55,149 --> 02:16:51,949 Russians then you know how hard is it 2888 02:16:57,309 --> 02:16:55,159 for them to talk about and it admit to 2889 02:17:00,820 --> 02:16:57,319 being a part of it's it's just it was a 2890 02:17:03,429 --> 02:17:00,830 tragic tragic event well I mean and it's 2891 02:17:10,439 --> 02:17:03,439 very different if you you know with the 2892 02:17:15,820 --> 02:17:14,019 Louie and Marie you don't I mean yeah 2893 02:17:17,740 --> 02:17:15,830 there's been a strain and French culture 2894 02:17:18,879 --> 02:17:17,750 sort of bring back the monarchy and all 2895 02:17:22,629 --> 02:17:18,889 that kind of thing but they are very 2896 02:17:25,750 --> 02:17:22,639 much you know the weird fringe on the 2897 02:17:27,609 --> 02:17:25,760 margins and but you don't have this 2898 02:17:29,649 --> 02:17:27,619 sense as you say this kind of tragedy or 2899 02:17:31,149 --> 02:17:29,659 the sense of somehow how can we absorb 2900 02:17:32,950 --> 02:17:31,159 this it's like the French kind of still 2901 02:17:34,599 --> 02:17:32,960 celebrate that I mean and that that's 2902 02:17:36,700 --> 02:17:34,609 kind of the cutoff point that's sort of 2903 02:17:37,750 --> 02:17:36,710 at least politically and socially when 2904 02:17:39,879 --> 02:17:37,760 it's supposed to be that's the beginning 2905 02:17:41,500 --> 02:17:39,889 of the modern age you know and and and 2906 02:17:42,969 --> 02:17:41,510 we talked about the Illuminati and 2907 02:17:45,129 --> 02:17:42,979 there's so many stories about how the 2908 02:17:47,859 --> 02:17:45,139 Illuminati were responsible for the the 2909 02:17:50,439 --> 02:17:47,869 French Revolution and this was why one 2910 02:17:53,259 --> 02:17:50,449 of the reasons why Freemasonry post the 2911 02:17:55,629 --> 02:17:53,269 French Revolution had acquired this this 2912 02:17:58,629 --> 02:17:55,639 kind of reputation as being in a 2913 02:18:01,859 --> 02:17:58,639 radically political and all that but now 2914 02:18:05,469 --> 02:18:01,869 in Russia today they're martyrs you know 2915 02:18:08,439 --> 02:18:05,479 many of the figures that at the time of 2916 02:18:10,919 --> 02:18:08,449 the Revolution were murdered and many of 2917 02:18:12,400 --> 02:18:10,929 the people were behind it you know they 2918 02:18:15,490 --> 02:18:12,410 were all 2919 02:18:17,919 --> 02:18:15,500 behind being able to get rid of these 2920 02:18:20,410 --> 02:18:17,929 people it was sort of the sadly the 2921 02:18:23,950 --> 02:18:20,420 general sort of revolt of the have-nots 2922 02:18:26,080 --> 02:18:23,960 against the haves but you know today it 2923 02:18:27,640 --> 02:18:26,090 is a turnaround and so many of the 2924 02:18:29,050 --> 02:18:27,650 people who were murdered in the early 2925 02:18:32,290 --> 02:18:29,060 days of revolution are seen as martyrs 2926 02:18:36,370 --> 02:18:32,300 now now where are we with that like I 2927 02:18:37,750 --> 02:18:36,380 said in in in 1991 with the collapse of 2928 02:18:41,680 --> 02:18:37,760 the Soviet Union 2929 02:18:45,610 --> 02:18:41,690 now religion is back into society what 2930 02:18:50,470 --> 02:18:45,620 about the Silver Age side of things is 2931 02:18:53,919 --> 02:18:50,480 this is this also is this going to 2932 02:18:56,740 --> 02:18:53,929 continue as a duality type of thing is 2933 02:18:58,959 --> 02:18:56,750 that where we are in 2020 2934 02:19:02,830 --> 02:18:58,969 what do you mean in Russia itself yes 2935 02:19:06,010 --> 02:19:02,840 yes well I mean it's all come back I 2936 02:19:09,490 --> 02:19:06,020 mean all of that has been embraced as 2937 02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:09,500 this this remarkable time in Russian 2938 02:19:16,419 --> 02:19:13,010 history in in cultural history that was 2939 02:19:18,610 --> 02:19:16,429 lost and now you know now it's now it's 2940 02:19:20,560 --> 02:19:18,620 come back and now it's available so that 2941 02:19:22,720 --> 02:19:20,570 has been you know for like the last 30 2942 02:19:27,840 --> 02:19:22,730 years now so it's not it's not that new 2943 02:19:30,970 --> 02:19:27,850 but there was a incredible flood of 2944 02:19:33,310 --> 02:19:30,980 banned literature that was back suddenly 2945 02:19:35,110 --> 02:19:33,320 back you know on the market and my 2946 02:19:36,610 --> 02:19:35,120 understanding and in Russia you know 2947 02:19:39,280 --> 02:19:36,620 when they do a print run of a book they 2948 02:19:40,690 --> 02:19:39,290 do lots and lots of copies so apparently 2949 02:19:43,360 --> 02:19:40,700 you know hundreds of thousands of copies 2950 02:19:45,610 --> 02:19:43,370 of things like livanski or Gurdjieff who 2951 02:19:47,800 --> 02:19:45,620 spent ski or Steinar on a variety of 2952 02:19:49,841 --> 02:19:47,810 other and then there's new developments 2953 02:19:52,180 --> 02:19:49,851 there - I mean this bit as I said 2954 02:19:55,180 --> 02:19:52,190 there's a resurgence of Russian paganism 2955 02:19:58,480 --> 02:19:55,190 there's a kind of Russian pagan Church 2956 02:19:59,980 --> 02:19:58,490 that's come back to prominence and it's 2957 02:20:02,860 --> 02:19:59,990 also happening in Poland and then 2958 02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:02,870 there's something called Anastasia 2959 02:20:06,430 --> 02:20:04,610 Nastasia ISM I don't know if you're 2960 02:20:08,500 --> 02:20:06,440 familiar with this no tell me about that 2961 02:20:11,320 --> 02:20:08,510 this is it this is a new movement this 2962 02:20:14,290 --> 02:20:11,330 was this is something happened there was 2963 02:20:18,100 --> 02:20:14,300 a writer who talks about meeting this 2964 02:20:19,690 --> 02:20:18,110 woman in Siberia or a part of Siberia 2965 02:20:21,940 --> 02:20:19,700 and there are these sort of singing I 2966 02:20:24,080 --> 02:20:21,950 think they're Cedars these singing trees 2967 02:20:26,630 --> 02:20:24,090 these singing Cedars 2968 02:20:29,450 --> 02:20:26,640 and he it's it's kind of like Don Juan 2969 02:20:32,630 --> 02:20:29,460 and and Carlos fascinated in Don Juan 2970 02:20:35,150 --> 02:20:32,640 sort of thing where he meets this woman 2971 02:20:37,639 --> 02:20:35,160 and she teaches him about you know 2972 02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:37,649 getting back to nature and back to the 2973 02:20:42,800 --> 02:20:41,010 earth and spirituality and all this and 2974 02:20:44,240 --> 02:20:42,810 then she she gives him the task of 2975 02:20:45,860 --> 02:20:44,250 writing a book about this and then he 2976 02:20:47,960 --> 02:20:45,870 writes this book and it becomes a 2977 02:20:50,590 --> 02:20:47,970 worldwide phenomenon I mean apparently 2978 02:20:54,520 --> 02:20:50,600 the books are remarkable bestsellers 2979 02:20:57,080 --> 02:20:54,530 just extraordinary bestsellers and it's 2980 02:20:58,820 --> 02:20:57,090 being exported to this apparently in the 2981 02:21:02,320 --> 02:20:58,830 States it's caught on quite a bit and 2982 02:21:05,030 --> 02:21:02,330 I'm saying and holy Russia that you know 2983 02:21:06,800 --> 02:21:05,040 Putin Russia may or may not have 2984 02:21:08,090 --> 02:21:06,810 interfered with the u.s. elections but 2985 02:21:13,070 --> 02:21:08,100 there's certainly very good at exporting 2986 02:21:15,469 --> 02:21:13,080 these these new religions and yeah this 2987 02:21:18,740 --> 02:21:15,479 is something that is a flowering of all 2988 02:21:20,960 --> 02:21:18,750 of all this resurgence in the old 2989 02:21:23,630 --> 02:21:20,970 spiritual ideas from the Silver Age and 2990 02:21:28,310 --> 02:21:23,640 and newer ones that are that are coming 2991 02:21:32,510 --> 02:21:28,320 up there's another spin on this that 2992 02:21:36,740 --> 02:21:32,520 most of the West isn't aware of but last 2993 02:21:42,230 --> 02:21:36,750 month Putin made a move in the Soviet 2994 02:21:45,860 --> 02:21:42,240 Union to remove his term limits okay and 2995 02:21:48,530 --> 02:21:45,870 to shift over from President to Prime 2996 02:21:50,780 --> 02:21:48,540 Minister and the and the power will be 2997 02:21:54,710 --> 02:21:50,790 what well anyway the bottom line is this 2998 02:22:01,870 --> 02:21:54,720 that he is now in a position to be the 2999 02:22:05,090 --> 02:22:01,880 guy until his death right and and and 3000 02:22:07,490 --> 02:22:05,100 embracing the Silver Age and the 3001 02:22:11,150 --> 02:22:07,500 Philosopher's of those ages and 3002 02:22:18,349 --> 02:22:11,160 everything else that will make Russia 3003 02:22:22,849 --> 02:22:18,359 proud this is part of who he is he wants 3004 02:22:24,349 --> 02:22:22,859 to embrace his Ukraine yes another thing 3005 02:22:26,960 --> 02:22:24,359 he wants to embrace his Ukraine and 3006 02:22:31,070 --> 02:22:26,970 Crimea and he has already and again this 3007 02:22:33,650 --> 02:22:31,080 is all the stuff that happened in my was 3008 02:22:36,740 --> 02:22:33,660 at 2013/14 and Ukraine and Crimea a 3009 02:22:39,770 --> 02:22:36,750 great deal of it is 3010 02:22:42,010 --> 02:22:39,780 by this notion of eurasia the great deal 3011 02:22:46,100 --> 02:22:42,020 of his fuel and it's also fueled by 3012 02:22:48,650 --> 02:22:46,110 reclaiming you know the lands that were 3013 02:22:52,160 --> 02:22:48,660 part of Russia and Ukraine in Kiev Kiev 3014 02:22:55,280 --> 02:22:52,170 is the first Russian city really yeah 3015 02:22:59,090 --> 02:22:55,290 that this is like where it all kind of 3016 02:23:00,800 --> 02:22:59,100 starts its I mean that this epic even at 3017 02:23:05,030 --> 02:23:00,810 they call it even ruse and this is like 3018 02:23:08,660 --> 02:23:05,040 the early from about Wow about 1000 you 3019 02:23:11,270 --> 02:23:08,670 know and until the the Mongols take over 3020 02:23:13,790 --> 02:23:11,280 in the 1200s and it's sort of like the 3021 02:23:17,150 --> 02:23:13,800 Russian King Arthur time it's this 3022 02:23:19,790 --> 02:23:17,160 marvelous time of you know heroes and 3023 02:23:21,680 --> 02:23:19,800 battles and and and stories and myths 3024 02:23:23,480 --> 02:23:21,690 and beauty and Kiev is this wonderful 3025 02:23:25,220 --> 02:23:23,490 you know beautiful city and there's a 3026 02:23:27,770 --> 02:23:25,230 kind of nostalgia for that and one of 3027 02:23:29,870 --> 02:23:27,780 the reasons why you know Putin wanted to 3028 02:23:32,090 --> 02:23:29,880 reclaim Ukraine and Crimea was to get 3029 02:23:33,590 --> 02:23:32,100 the heart of Russia to get Kiev and this 3030 02:23:35,540 --> 02:23:33,600 is battle throughout the history of what 3031 02:23:37,880 --> 02:23:35,550 who does Ukraine belong to is the part 3032 02:23:39,590 --> 02:23:37,890 of Russia is its own country is it 3033 02:23:42,440 --> 02:23:39,600 little Russia and all this sort of thing 3034 02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:42,450 and I forget exactly when it was but 3035 02:23:48,530 --> 02:23:46,050 just outside the Kremlin Putin had 3036 02:23:50,390 --> 02:23:48,540 erected this huge - actually - Vladimir 3037 02:23:53,570 --> 02:23:50,400 the first who was the the first you know 3038 02:23:57,530 --> 02:23:53,580 sort of ruler of a kind of whole United 3039 02:23:59,390 --> 02:23:57,540 kind of Russian nature and so there's a 3040 02:24:02,360 --> 02:23:59,400 whole sense that what he wants to do is 3041 02:24:04,550 --> 02:24:02,370 get all this back and it's not sort of 3042 02:24:06,440 --> 02:24:04,560 put the USSR back together but to 3043 02:24:08,300 --> 02:24:06,450 reclaim all this land that had had 3044 02:24:11,920 --> 02:24:08,310 belonged historically - to greater 3045 02:24:15,260 --> 02:24:11,930 Russia to Eurasia what do you think that 3046 02:24:18,080 --> 02:24:15,270 grabbing at the emotions like that in 3047 02:24:20,840 --> 02:24:18,090 such a way do you think that's that's 3048 02:24:24,920 --> 02:24:20,850 real right do you think that's part of 3049 02:24:27,850 --> 02:24:24,930 Vladimir Putin for real or it's there's 3050 02:24:31,100 --> 02:24:27,860 something else that's in play here and 3051 02:24:33,740 --> 02:24:31,110 it's not part of who he is but he wants 3052 02:24:36,410 --> 02:24:33,750 to remain in power well I think he's one 3053 02:24:38,180 --> 02:24:36,420 of these enigmatic people but I see my 3054 02:24:39,470 --> 02:24:38,190 impression again I'm not an expert but I 3055 02:24:42,170 --> 02:24:39,480 certainly think he wants to remain in 3056 02:24:44,590 --> 02:24:42,180 power and you know in a way it's kind of 3057 02:24:48,920 --> 02:24:44,600 like the Mafia you know you're in power 3058 02:24:50,020 --> 02:24:48,930 you you you helped the last guy Yeltsin 3059 02:24:52,270 --> 02:24:50,030 I mean Putin 3060 02:24:55,210 --> 02:24:52,280 protected Yeltsin as it were Yeltsin had 3061 02:24:56,770 --> 02:24:55,220 to go they were looking for a 3062 02:24:59,710 --> 02:24:56,780 replacement someone to take his place 3063 02:25:01,990 --> 02:24:59,720 and the deal was who carry you have to 3064 02:25:03,130 --> 02:25:02,000 protect me when some had a power and and 3065 02:25:05,200 --> 02:25:03,140 sort of Putin is doing the same thing 3066 02:25:07,300 --> 02:25:05,210 and the strange thing about that if you 3067 02:25:09,400 --> 02:25:07,310 know the story is when they were looking 3068 02:25:11,410 --> 02:25:09,410 for you know someone to sort of you know 3069 02:25:13,870 --> 02:25:11,420 become FD else and cuz Yeltsin was the 3070 02:25:16,390 --> 02:25:13,880 first president of this Russian this new 3071 02:25:19,930 --> 02:25:16,400 Russian nation after the collapse of the 3072 02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:19,940 USSR they did a kind of public survey 3073 02:25:25,150 --> 02:25:23,450 and they asked the people you know who 3074 02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:25,160 would you like what would you what were 3075 02:25:31,500 --> 02:25:28,370 the characteristics the you know of a 3076 02:25:35,290 --> 02:25:31,510 leader that you wanted and there was a 3077 02:25:37,860 --> 02:25:35,300 Russian television show in the seventies 3078 02:25:40,420 --> 02:25:37,870 I can't know the exact name of it now 3079 02:25:45,070 --> 02:25:40,430 had some something spring might month 3080 02:25:49,300 --> 02:25:45,080 but it's seven

the 3212 02:32:52,820 --> 02:32:50,470 future and I've been recording those in 3213 02:32:56,790 --> 02:32:52,830 my dream journals for the last 40 years 3214 02:32:58,710 --> 02:32:56,800 along with

02:33:02,920 the book I'm working on now now what 3218 02:33:06,290 --> 02:33:05,470 when did you first start this is great 3219 02:33:09,410 --> 02:33:06,300 by the way 3220 02:33:13,460 --> 02:33:09,420 that was that that was an awesome Segway 3221 02:33:20,700 --> 02:33:13,470 is this when did you start to recognize 3222 02:33:25,830 --> 02:33:20,710 synchronicities well well I mean I 3223 02:33:28,020 --> 02:33:25,840 started recording I realized that I had 3224 02:33:30,030 --> 02:33:28,030 dreams of the future put it that way and 3225 02:33:32,070 --> 02:33:30,040 again let me say it's nothing really 3226 02:33:34,310 --> 02:33:32,080 spectacular it isn't you know I haven't 3227 02:33:37,110 --> 02:33:34,320 won any races and I haven't you know 3228 02:33:38,580 --> 02:33:37,120 buried and I need any disasters or 3229 02:33:43,320 --> 02:33:38,590 anything like that it tends to be kind 3230 02:33:45,719 --> 02:33:43,330 of trivial everyday things but in 1980 I 3231 02:33:48,030 --> 02:33:45,729 read a book called an experiment with 3232 02:33:52,170 --> 02:33:48,040 time and this was a book that was 3233 02:33:55,280 --> 02:33:52,180 published in 1927 by a military man an 3234 02:33:57,780 --> 02:33:55,290 aeronautics engineer named JW done and 3235 02:34:01,290 --> 02:33:57,790 he had no interest in the occult 3236 02:34:05,791 --> 02:34:01,300 nothing like that whatsoever but just by 3237 02:34:07,441 --> 02:34:05,801 chance he he had a dream we 3238 02:34:10,501 --> 02:34:07,451 arguing about with someone about the 3239 02:34:14,371 --> 02:34:10,511 time and in the dream he says that it's 3240 02:34:16,111 --> 02:34:14,381 4:30 and the other person he's arguing 3241 02:34:17,551 --> 02:34:16,121 with says no no it's not or something 3242 02:34:19,711 --> 02:34:17,561 like that and in the dream he pulls out 3243 02:34:22,470 --> 02:34:19,721 his pocket watch and he looks and it's 3244 02:34:24,600 --> 02:34:22,480 4:30 and then he wakes up it's 4:30 in 3245 02:34:26,640 --> 02:34:24,610 the morning he wakes up you know and he 3246 02:34:29,041 --> 02:34:26,650 thought that's odd and he was curious 3247 02:34:31,470 --> 02:34:29,051 and he said well let me see what time it 3248 02:34:33,661 --> 02:34:31,480 is and so we went over to get his watch 3249 02:34:36,301 --> 02:34:33,671 and he picked it up and it had stopped 3250 02:34:39,451 --> 02:34:36,311 it had stopped at 4:30 and he said how 3251 02:34:40,921 --> 02:34:39,461 strange and he he round to watch again 3252 02:34:43,321 --> 02:34:40,931 he thought well it must have stopped 3253 02:34:44,821 --> 02:34:43,331 during the day and I just noticed it and 3254 02:34:46,741 --> 02:34:44,831 somehow in the back of my mind it was 3255 02:34:49,501 --> 02:34:46,751 nagging me and that's why I had this 3256 02:34:53,100 --> 02:34:49,511 dream so that he wakes up later on you 3257 02:34:54,751 --> 02:34:53,110 know in the day and um he thinks oh I 3258 02:34:55,981 --> 02:34:54,761 have to get my watch and check it 3259 02:34:57,930 --> 02:34:55,991 against the [\h__\h] to see what the right 3260 02:35:00,451 --> 02:34:57,940 time is and he realizes that actually 3261 02:35:03,691 --> 02:35:00,461 his watch is the right time so it had 3262 02:35:05,701 --> 02:35:03,701 stopped at 4:30 he had as it as he 3263 02:35:07,621 --> 02:35:05,711 thought in the dream he woke up at that 3264 02:35:10,251 --> 02:35:07,631 time and it was exactly the right time 3265 02:35:13,171 --> 02:35:10,261 so he thought that's really strange and 3266 02:35:17,161 --> 02:35:13,181 so he thought he'll try and experiment 3267 02:35:19,921 --> 02:35:17,171 so he the next morning he sort of lies 3268 02:35:22,501 --> 02:35:19,931 in bed just as he's waking up and he 3269 02:35:25,441 --> 02:35:22,511 tries to sort of picture his his watch 3270 02:35:27,180 --> 02:35:25,451 in his head you know visualize it and to 3271 02:35:30,091 --> 02:35:27,190 get a clearer picture of Missy what time 3272 02:35:32,491 --> 02:35:30,101 it is and it was 802 or something like 3273 02:35:34,621 --> 02:35:32,501 that and so all right right he gets that 3274 02:35:37,861 --> 02:35:34,631 gets up picks up the watch and lo and 3275 02:35:39,451 --> 02:35:37,871 behold it's 802 now and so yeah so other 3276 02:35:41,970 --> 02:35:39,461 weird things start happening and then he 3277 02:35:47,401 --> 02:35:41,980 has a the big thing is that he has this 3278 02:35:49,411 --> 02:35:47,411 dream in which he's on an island and he 3279 02:35:52,021 --> 02:35:49,421 sees sort of cracks and fissures opening 3280 02:35:53,881 --> 02:35:52,031 up in you know in the ground and steam 3281 02:35:55,771 --> 02:35:53,891 is coming up out of them and he realizes 3282 02:36:00,001 --> 02:35:55,781 there's going to be a volcanic eruption 3283 02:36:02,220 --> 02:36:00,011 and in the dream he suddenly knows that 3284 02:36:05,701 --> 02:36:02,230 you know 40,000 people are going to die 3285 02:36:07,291 --> 02:36:05,711 from this and he's running around in the 3286 02:36:07,921 --> 02:36:07,301 dream trying to get the authorities than 3287 02:36:10,981 --> 02:36:07,931 they were French 3288 02:36:13,021 --> 02:36:10,991 so French authorities to you know to act 3289 02:36:14,551 --> 02:36:13,031 they're to evacuate the island and no 3290 02:36:16,250 --> 02:36:14,561 one's paying attention to him and 3291 02:36:19,550 --> 02:36:16,260 they're just ignoring him and all that 3292 02:36:21,410 --> 02:36:19,560 and he wakes up out of the dream just as 3293 02:36:24,830 --> 02:36:21,420 he's trying to convince some some you 3294 02:36:27,519 --> 02:36:24,840 know French you know specific person 3295 02:36:30,019 --> 02:36:27,529 whatever to get the evacuation going and 3296 02:36:34,519 --> 02:36:30,029 you know so it's it's just a dream but 3297 02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:34,529 then a few days later he hears about the 3298 02:36:41,269 --> 02:36:38,850 famous eruption of Mount Pele on the 3299 02:36:44,809 --> 02:36:41,279 island of Martinique and this is in 1902 3300 02:36:48,710 --> 02:36:44,819 and it's not as well known as Krakatoa 3301 02:36:51,889 --> 02:36:48,720 but it rivaled Krakatoa in its intensity 3302 02:36:54,469 --> 02:36:51,899 and it was the greatest volcanic 3303 02:36:57,950 --> 02:36:54,479 eruption of the 20th century and he 3304 02:37:00,200 --> 02:36:57,960 realized that he rather than actually 3305 02:37:01,969 --> 02:37:00,210 dreaming of the eruption itself he 3306 02:37:05,750 --> 02:37:01,979 dreamed about him reading about it in 3307 02:37:08,059 --> 02:37:05,760 the newspaper so he dreamed what he was 3308 02:37:09,950 --> 02:37:08,069 going to read about in advance and so I 3309 02:37:11,420 --> 02:37:09,960 read this book and what Dunn says is 3310 02:37:13,730 --> 02:37:11,430 like you know look don't take my word 3311 02:37:15,830 --> 02:37:13,740 for this and he developed this whole 3312 02:37:17,719 --> 02:37:15,840 very strange complicated system of a 3313 02:37:19,250 --> 02:37:17,729 kind of serial time and different sorts 3314 02:37:22,550 --> 02:37:19,260 of levels of time in order to account 3315 02:37:24,230 --> 02:37:22,560 for this and you know you don't have to 3316 02:37:25,910 --> 02:37:24,240 accept that to just skip his the 3317 02:37:27,800 --> 02:37:25,920 essential point and he said look just 3318 02:37:29,389 --> 02:37:27,810 write your dreams down then pay 3319 02:37:32,150 --> 02:37:29,399 attention to what happens during the day 3320 02:37:33,889 --> 02:37:32,160 and you will see soon enough that little 3321 02:37:35,840 --> 02:37:33,899 bits and pieces of the future turn up in 3322 02:37:37,880 --> 02:37:35,850 your dreams and that's what I did so 3323 02:37:40,099 --> 02:37:37,890 this is 1980 I'm living New York I'm 3324 02:37:41,870 --> 02:37:40,109 still you know in the rock world I had 3325 02:37:44,300 --> 02:37:41,880 my own band and it was called the know 3326 02:37:46,730 --> 02:37:44,310 and that was a Oh W and that was because 3327 02:37:49,370 --> 02:37:46,740 of my interest in Gnosticism at the time 3328 02:37:50,990 --> 02:37:49,380 and so I start doing what he suggests I 3329 02:37:53,690 --> 02:37:51,000 started writing down my dreams and 3330 02:37:58,400 --> 02:37:53,700 pretty soon after law behold he was 3331 02:38:00,469 --> 02:37:58,410 right and I it's something that I'd 3332 02:38:02,809 --> 02:38:00,479 mentioned in a couple books I wrote an 3333 02:38:04,070 --> 02:38:02,819 article about this Oh some years ago now 3334 02:38:06,320 --> 02:38:04,080 for the quest magazine which is 3335 02:38:11,330 --> 02:38:06,330 published by the Theosophical Society in 3336 02:38:15,260 --> 02:38:11,340 America but Nast last year I gave a talk 3337 02:38:17,000 --> 02:38:15,270 here in London it was during something 3338 02:38:19,519 --> 02:38:17,010 called London month of the Dead so this 3339 02:38:21,139 --> 02:38:19,529 is weird kind of McCobb you know sorts 3340 02:38:23,059 --> 02:38:21,149 of settings for talks and I gave a talk 3341 02:38:25,160 --> 02:38:23,069 in the Brompton cemetery which is if you 3342 02:38:27,469 --> 02:38:25,170 know London it's a very famous cemetery 3343 02:38:30,270 --> 02:38:27,479 and the west side and I gave a talk 3344 02:38:34,001 --> 02:38:30,280 about hypnagogic 3345 02:38:36,671 --> 02:38:34,011 hallucinations which the gokyo 3346 02:38:39,671 --> 02:38:36,681 hypnagogic hallucination so these kind 3347 02:38:42,070 --> 02:38:39,681 of visions or images or symbols and you 3348 02:38:44,831 --> 02:38:42,080 could hear sentences sometimes - that 3349 02:38:47,621 --> 02:38:44,841 happened to us as we drift into sleep so 3350 02:38:49,600 --> 02:38:47,631 hypnagogic state it's it's an in-between 3351 02:38:51,610 --> 02:38:49,610 state in between waking and sleeping so 3352 02:38:53,381 --> 02:38:51,620 it's you're sort of in this liminal kind 3353 02:38:54,671 --> 02:38:53,391 of state and I've written about that in 3354 02:38:56,381 --> 02:38:54,681 quite a few of my books because people 3355 02:38:58,900 --> 02:38:56,391 like young in people like wheel of 3356 02:39:00,551 --> 02:38:58,910 Steiner and people like Swedenborg and 3357 02:39:02,980 --> 02:39:00,561 who's Penske and others they they all 3358 02:39:05,320 --> 02:39:02,990 explored this this liminal 3359 02:39:07,450 --> 02:39:05,330 realm and it's supposed to be the way 3360 02:39:10,421 --> 02:39:07,460 you can you know sort of astral travel 3361 02:39:12,911 --> 02:39:10,431 or of a variety of different paranormal 3362 02:39:14,591 --> 02:39:12,921 phenomena associated with it and I tack 3363 02:39:15,791 --> 02:39:14,601 giving you talk about that the history 3364 02:39:18,100 --> 02:39:15,801 of it in different people who you know 3365 02:39:19,871 --> 02:39:18,110 explored it I tacked on to it 3366 02:39:22,121 --> 02:39:19,881 precognitive dreams and i and i you know 3367 02:39:24,310 --> 02:39:22,131 i mentioned a few of mine and i said 3368 02:39:25,930 --> 02:39:24,320 just the same story I told you I got 3369 02:39:28,030 --> 02:39:25,940 into this by you know reading this book 3370 02:39:30,041 --> 02:39:28,040 and I recorded my dreams and lo and 3371 02:39:33,791 --> 02:39:30,051 behold it happened and so the next day 3372 02:39:35,921 --> 02:39:33,801 after this talk I got a tweet from 3373 02:39:37,421 --> 02:39:35,931 somebody or someone tagged me in the 3374 02:39:38,411 --> 02:39:37,431 tweet who had been to the talk and she 3375 02:39:42,011 --> 02:39:38,421 said oh my god 3376 02:39:44,621 --> 02:39:42,021 you're you're right this is true last 3377 02:39:46,240 --> 02:39:44,631 night I dreamt that I picked up a 3378 02:39:49,091 --> 02:39:46,250 hedgehog which is one of these small 3379 02:39:50,261 --> 02:39:49,101 kind of you know animals that you don't 3380 02:39:53,261 --> 02:39:50,271 see them in the states that much but 3381 02:39:54,820 --> 02:39:53,271 they're very familiar here and it was in 3382 02:39:56,350 --> 02:39:54,830 the it was in the road and I picked it 3383 02:39:58,180 --> 02:39:56,360 up out of the road and they put it onto 3384 02:40:01,631 --> 02:39:58,190 a safe spot you know on the pavement or 3385 02:40:03,581 --> 02:40:01,641 you know somewhere and so I had that 3386 02:40:05,650 --> 02:40:03,591 dream and the first thing in the morning 3387 02:40:07,030 --> 02:40:05,660 when I logged on to Twitter and the 3388 02:40:09,400 --> 02:40:07,040 first thing I saw on my Twitter feed 3389 02:40:12,070 --> 02:40:09,410 this woman told me was a post about how 3390 02:40:14,591 --> 02:40:12,080 to protect the hedgehogs how to save the 3391 02:40:16,780 --> 02:40:14,601 hedgehogs and getting run over basically 3392 02:40:19,121 --> 02:40:16,790 and she said I can't believe it you're 3393 02:40:20,560 --> 02:40:19,131 right and I wrote back and I said well 3394 02:40:24,161 --> 02:40:20,570 this is exactly the thing you know 3395 02:40:26,801 --> 02:40:24,171 oftentimes it's not exactly you know the 3396 02:40:29,621 --> 02:40:26,811 future but it's it's it's subject to 3397 02:40:31,661 --> 02:40:29,631 what I call symbolic distortion so 3398 02:40:33,490 --> 02:40:31,671 there's a slight slight distortion in it 3399 02:40:35,140 --> 02:40:33,500 but I mean it's pretty damn close I mean 3400 02:40:36,581 --> 02:40:35,150 if you you know you dream about picking 3401 02:40:37,900 --> 02:40:36,591 a hedgehog off the road and putting it 3402 02:40:40,001 --> 02:40:37,910 in safety and then the first thing you 3403 02:40:41,680 --> 02:40:40,011 see when you turn on your computer or 3404 02:40:43,540 --> 02:40:41,690 your phone in the morning is a post 3405 02:40:45,880 --> 02:40:43,550 about that so that's pretty close 3406 02:40:47,559 --> 02:40:45,890 and so I just have the problem I'm 3407 02:40:50,559 --> 02:40:47,569 having is is sifting through all the 3408 02:40:52,240 --> 02:40:50,569 ones I have and you know trying to find 3409 02:40:54,280 --> 02:40:52,250 the most interesting ones and then it 3410 02:40:56,469 --> 02:40:54,290 blends into synchronicities and things 3411 02:40:58,660 --> 02:40:56,479 of that sort - I mean a synchronicity is 3412 02:41:00,790 --> 02:40:58,670 meaningful coincidence when something 3413 02:41:02,920 --> 02:41:00,800 happening in your head and something out 3414 02:41:04,750 --> 02:41:02,930 in the outer world you know are related 3415 02:41:06,130 --> 02:41:04,760 but not causally they're related by 3416 02:41:08,770 --> 02:41:06,140 meaning and and you get this weird 3417 02:41:11,349 --> 02:41:08,780 feeling like who knew I was thinking 3418 02:41:14,070 --> 02:41:11,359 about what do you do you see that this 3419 02:41:19,260 --> 02:41:14,080 is the thing what do you do with that 3420 02:41:22,360 --> 02:41:19,270 right is it is it is it telling you 3421 02:41:25,170 --> 02:41:22,370 personally is it telling you that the 3422 02:41:29,530 --> 02:41:25,180 universe is not what you've been taught 3423 02:41:32,200 --> 02:41:29,540 right that's exactly I mean I this is 3424 02:41:35,770 --> 02:41:32,210 the theme and a few of my books were you 3425 02:41:38,020 --> 02:41:35,780 know this impassable barrier between our 3426 02:41:39,940 --> 02:41:38,030 insides or in a world in the outer world 3427 02:41:41,650 --> 02:41:39,950 which we've been taught is the case you 3428 02:41:44,290 --> 02:41:41,660 know there's this external world which 3429 02:41:45,700 --> 02:41:44,300 we all share physical world you know we 3430 02:41:47,740 --> 02:41:45,710 can explore it and go out into the vast 3431 02:41:49,570 --> 02:41:47,750 universe but inside our heads that's 3432 02:41:51,820 --> 02:41:49,580 just subjective and that just stays 3433 02:41:54,490 --> 02:41:51,830 inside your head and what I've learned 3434 02:41:57,490 --> 02:41:54,500 is is that unlike Vegas what happens in 3435 02:41:59,980 --> 02:41:57,500 the mind doesn't stay there it goes out 3436 02:42:01,780 --> 02:41:59,990 into the world and you know see ji-yong 3437 02:42:03,670 --> 02:42:01,790 the psychologist he's the one who 3438 02:42:06,760 --> 02:42:03,680 introduced this notion of synchronicity 3439 02:42:09,070 --> 02:42:06,770 and he wrote a book about it and tried 3440 02:42:10,540 --> 02:42:09,080 to develop you know scientific president 3441 02:42:13,690 --> 02:42:10,550 or a theory to explain it and lots of 3442 02:42:18,160 --> 02:42:13,700 other people and in fact I recently last 3443 02:42:19,719 --> 02:42:18,170 year I was in New York at a place called 3444 02:42:22,120 --> 02:42:19,729 the Omega studios which is in upstate 3445 02:42:25,480 --> 02:42:22,130 New York near Poughkeepsie and I was 3446 02:42:27,820 --> 02:42:25,490 doing a weekend seminar with Dean Radin 3447 02:42:32,230 --> 02:42:27,830 oh yeah he's great you know can you know 3448 02:42:35,830 --> 02:42:32,240 probably the the top scientists working 3449 02:42:38,469 --> 02:42:35,840 on the paranormal these days and he said 3450 02:42:40,480 --> 02:42:38,479 you know there's so much evidence for it 3451 02:42:42,820 --> 02:42:40,490 precognition and a variety of other 3452 02:42:44,559 --> 02:42:42,830 paranormal things but we talked about 3453 02:42:46,719 --> 02:42:44,569 precognition so much evidence for it 3454 02:42:50,440 --> 02:42:46,729 these days statistical evidence that 3455 02:42:53,801 --> 02:42:50,450 it's only this prejudice that you know 3456 02:42:55,761 --> 02:42:53,811 died in wool reductionist 3457 02:42:59,180 --> 02:42:55,771 rationalist materialist sort of 3458 02:43:00,620 --> 02:42:59,190 scientists it's only this prejudice that 3459 02:43:02,900 --> 02:43:00,630 prevents them from recognizing it oh 3460 02:43:04,250 --> 02:43:02,910 they don't want to bend oh they don't 3461 02:43:06,110 --> 02:43:04,260 want that sir because the thing is that 3462 02:43:07,520 --> 02:43:06,120 that's if the statistical evidence was 3463 02:43:08,930 --> 02:43:07,530 about anything else they would say yeah 3464 02:43:11,240 --> 02:43:08,940 of course this must be the case but 3465 02:43:12,440 --> 02:43:11,250 because it's that and there's another 3466 02:43:13,850 --> 02:43:12,450 it's a really interesting book that I 3467 02:43:16,580 --> 02:43:13,860 read I was doing the research a book 3468 02:43:19,700 --> 02:43:16,590 called time loops by a fellow named eric 3469 02:43:21,560 --> 02:43:19,710 worre ago and he it's a huge book and 3470 02:43:23,540 --> 02:43:21,570 he's come up with a very you know he is 3471 02:43:25,671 --> 02:43:23,550 a materialist but he believes in what he 3472 02:43:26,421 --> 02:43:25,681 calls retro causation that somehow the 3473 02:43:30,410 --> 02:43:26,431 future 3474 02:43:32,750 --> 02:43:30,420 somehow impacts on the past now and you 3475 02:43:35,150 --> 02:43:32,760 know makes things happen so it's kind of 3476 02:43:38,211 --> 02:43:35,160 like cause and effect get turned around 3477 02:43:41,030 --> 02:43:38,221 and funnily enough I've been watching a 3478 02:43:42,921 --> 02:43:41,040 series on Netflix called dark which is a 3479 02:43:45,560 --> 02:43:42,931 German series but it's it's it's all 3480 02:43:46,970 --> 02:43:45,570 about something like that yeah I haven't 3481 02:43:49,011 --> 02:43:46,980 I haven't seen that serie there's 3482 02:43:54,020 --> 02:43:49,021 another good one out right now it's 3483 02:43:55,040 --> 02:43:54,030 called devs devs it's on Hulu ok I've 3484 02:43:56,930 --> 02:43:55,050 been trying to find that because a 3485 02:43:59,990 --> 02:43:56,940 friend told me about I can't locate it 3486 02:44:04,610 --> 02:44:00,000 yeah it's it's just it's it's who just 3487 02:44:06,881 --> 02:44:04,620 go to Hulu but well worth everything 3488 02:44:09,890 --> 02:44:06,891 that we're talking about right now is 3489 02:44:12,020 --> 02:44:09,900 and these concepts that we discuss all 3490 02:44:15,290 --> 02:44:12,030 the time I have the I have the best I've 3491 02:44:18,860 --> 02:44:15,300 Dean rate down a few times where we 3492 02:44:21,591 --> 02:44:18,870 discuss these things and I know I know 3493 02:44:23,570 --> 02:44:21,601 that there's a frustration exactly what 3494 02:44:27,560 --> 02:44:23,580 you're talking about where you have the 3495 02:44:35,600 --> 02:44:27,570 science side the physics side the the 3496 02:44:38,330 --> 02:44:35,610 the non spiritual atheist pragmatic its 3497 02:44:40,671 --> 02:44:38,340 numbers it's math side of things that's 3498 02:44:46,070 --> 02:44:40,681 what consciousness is and then you have 3499 02:44:48,440 --> 02:44:46,080 the the spiritual side of and in 3500 02:44:51,680 --> 02:44:48,450 education - as well but the spiritual 3501 02:44:53,060 --> 02:44:51,690 side and they are very rapidly gary 3502 02:44:56,150 --> 02:44:53,070 they're gonna they're gonna hit each 3503 02:44:58,690 --> 02:44:56,160 other head-on here very quickly and 3504 02:45:03,381 --> 02:44:58,700 they're gonna have to agree to cooperate 3505 02:45:05,600 --> 02:45:03,391 at some point and again this is 3506 02:45:07,190 --> 02:45:05,610 something just going back to the russia 3507 02:45:09,410 --> 02:45:07,200 book this is something that 3508 02:45:11,390 --> 02:45:09,420 in the Silver Age was kind of the idea 3509 02:45:12,740 --> 02:45:11,400 that we have to bring these two things 3510 02:45:14,390 --> 02:45:12,750 together that you know they're they're 3511 02:45:17,240 --> 02:45:14,400 two sides of the same world that we 3512 02:45:20,091 --> 02:45:17,250 inhabit and I could just touch on it now 3513 02:45:23,631 --> 02:45:20,101 but I I would say there's neurological 3514 02:45:25,580 --> 02:45:23,641 evidence for that in the whole reality 3515 02:45:27,080 --> 02:45:25,590 of our having two brains I mean there's 3516 02:45:28,341 --> 02:45:27,090 a wonderful book came out about ten 3517 02:45:33,460 --> 02:45:28,351 years ago called the master and his 3518 02:45:36,680 --> 02:45:33,470 emissary by felony McGilchrist who's 3519 02:45:38,540 --> 02:45:36,690 he's he's you know he's he's from 3520 02:45:41,540 --> 02:45:38,550 England but he's neuroscientist but he's 3521 02:45:44,030 --> 02:45:41,550 also a English literary scholar and so 3522 02:45:47,120 --> 02:45:44,040 he is you know one foot in each camp and 3523 02:45:48,921 --> 02:45:47,130 he's rebooted the whole left right brain 3524 02:45:52,580 --> 02:45:48,931 story which kind of got in a sort of 3525 02:45:54,320 --> 02:45:52,590 petered out in the 90s but put it short 3526 02:45:55,580 --> 02:45:54,330 it's not so much that the different 3527 02:45:57,470 --> 02:45:55,590 sides of the brain do different things 3528 02:46:01,341 --> 02:45:57,480 but they do they do the same things but 3529 02:46:03,650 --> 02:46:01,351 they do them very differently this whole 3530 02:46:06,890 --> 02:46:03,660 right brain as a completely different 3531 02:46:08,780 --> 02:46:06,900 way of engaging and presenting the world 3532 02:46:10,820 --> 02:46:08,790 than than the left well do you think 3533 02:46:14,301 --> 02:46:10,830 that the philosophy of consciousness 3534 02:46:17,060 --> 02:46:14,311 which has been discussed and written 3535 02:46:19,790 --> 02:46:17,070 about and studied which seems like 3536 02:46:23,690 --> 02:46:19,800 forever is going to get to the point 3537 02:46:26,330 --> 02:46:23,700 where science has to take a look at 3538 02:46:28,820 --> 02:46:26,340 consciousness it maybe even in a 3539 02:46:31,910 --> 02:46:28,830 laboratory setting to figure out 3540 02:46:33,020 --> 02:46:31,920 actually what is going on well I mean 3541 02:46:36,410 --> 02:46:33,030 they've been working on that for a long 3542 02:46:37,671 --> 02:46:36,420 time I mean a book I wrote quite some 3543 02:46:39,830 --> 02:46:37,681 years ago called 3544 02:46:41,990 --> 02:46:39,840 a secret history of consciousness it 3545 02:46:47,060 --> 02:46:42,000 came out in 2003 so it's a while ago now 3546 02:46:48,200 --> 02:46:47,070 but I sort of start out saying the 1990s 3547 02:46:50,060 --> 02:46:48,210 was supposed to be the decade of the 3548 02:46:51,770 --> 02:46:50,070 brain but three 2000 had become the 3549 02:46:56,290 --> 02:46:51,780 decade of consciousness and and you do 3550 02:47:00,200 --> 02:46:56,300 have you know you have very very hard 3551 02:47:02,870 --> 02:47:00,210 no-nonsense scientists trying to explain 3552 02:47:04,910 --> 02:47:02,880 consciousness in terms of you know 3553 02:47:08,690 --> 02:47:04,920 physical activity whether it's neurons 3554 02:47:10,160 --> 02:47:08,700 firing or chemical exchanges but in 3555 02:47:12,261 --> 02:47:10,170 recent times there's been a resurgence 3556 02:47:16,720 --> 02:47:12,271 of the opposite of a kind of new 3557 02:47:20,900 --> 02:47:16,730 idealism a fella named Bernard cash drop 3558 02:47:24,469 --> 02:47:20,910 you know he's a philosopher 3559 02:47:26,300 --> 02:47:24,479 the country's he's in but he's rebooted 3560 02:47:28,250 --> 02:47:26,310 this whole notion that no actually the 3561 02:47:30,080 --> 02:47:28,260 mind is fundamental it's not it's not 3562 02:47:33,320 --> 02:47:30,090 matter it isn't this kind of thing I 3563 02:47:35,780 --> 02:47:33,330 mean and the thing is that the the the 3564 02:47:38,060 --> 02:47:35,790 thing that remains and and that has yet 3565 02:47:40,370 --> 02:47:38,070 no one's really been able to answer this 3566 02:47:42,350 --> 02:47:40,380 is what David Chalmers philosophy called 3567 02:47:44,179 --> 02:47:42,360 the hard the hard problem just how do 3568 02:47:46,219 --> 02:47:44,189 you get from a neuron to a thought 3569 02:47:48,740 --> 02:47:46,229 how do you do it I mean how does that 3570 02:47:51,580 --> 02:47:48,750 it's like well how many apples does it 3571 02:47:56,150 --> 02:47:51,590 take to make an orange I don't know 3572 02:47:59,170 --> 02:47:56,160 nobody does I don't know and and and 3573 02:48:02,060 --> 02:47:59,180 some of the you know the most 3574 02:48:04,190 --> 02:48:02,070 prestigious and profound scientists and 3575 02:48:05,570 --> 02:48:04,200 philosophers of mind they do admit that 3576 02:48:09,050 --> 02:48:05,580 yeah we've studied this and all that but 3577 02:48:11,270 --> 02:48:09,060 we still have no idea I mean I mean I to 3578 02:48:14,150 --> 02:48:11,280 the people who influenced me tend to be 3579 02:48:16,100 --> 02:48:14,160 a bit earlier and there's a French 3580 02:48:18,560 --> 02:48:16,110 philosopher army barracks and who was a 3581 02:48:20,780 --> 02:48:18,570 Nobel Prize winner he was one of the 3582 02:48:22,600 --> 02:48:20,790 most famous you know people in the world 3583 02:48:24,620 --> 02:48:22,610 and in the nineteen 3584 02:48:26,929 --> 02:48:24,630 early twentieth-century nineteen 3585 02:48:28,550 --> 02:48:26,939 twenties and he said consciousness is 3586 02:48:29,960 --> 02:48:28,560 something that's so fundamental that if 3587 02:48:36,200 --> 02:48:29,970 we try to define it we'll just get 3588 02:48:41,630 --> 02:48:36,210 confused and is it because I think it 3589 02:48:46,370 --> 02:48:41,640 might be fandom in that the people that 3590 02:48:49,460 --> 02:48:46,380 support these rock star please enjoy the 3591 02:48:52,420 --> 02:48:49,470 pun you know the rock star physicist out 3592 02:48:56,690 --> 02:48:52,430 there then write books and speak that 3593 02:48:59,570 --> 02:48:56,700 they don't want to disappoint their fans 3594 02:49:02,929 --> 02:48:59,580 and the money train I'm being very 3595 02:49:05,900 --> 02:49:02,939 straight here by going into the esoteric 3596 02:49:08,420 --> 02:49:05,910 and speaking about the consciousness may 3597 02:49:11,990 --> 02:49:08,430 not be a chemical reaction consciousness 3598 02:49:14,900 --> 02:49:12,000 may not be math consciousness might be 3599 02:49:19,310 --> 02:49:14,910 something else that we don't understand 3600 02:49:22,820 --> 02:49:19,320 but they can't go there go there because 3601 02:49:27,710 --> 02:49:22,830 a well what that does if you admit that 3602 02:49:29,330 --> 02:49:27,720 then you are breaking the rule of the 3603 02:49:32,270 --> 02:49:29,340 dominant religion these days which is 3604 02:49:34,219 --> 02:49:32,280 scientism and scientism is the which is 3605 02:49:34,490 --> 02:49:34,229 different than science but scientism is 3606 02:49:37,220 --> 02:49:34,500 the 3607 02:49:38,870 --> 02:49:37,230 idea that everything in reality all of 3608 02:49:41,360 --> 02:49:38,880 our experience can ultimately be 3609 02:49:45,490 --> 02:49:41,370 explained in terms of you know standard 3610 02:49:47,870 --> 02:49:45,500 kind of scientific procedures and and 3611 02:49:49,280 --> 02:49:47,880 chemical reactions so yeah yeah whatever 3612 02:49:51,740 --> 02:49:49,290 there's something ridiculous like that 3613 02:49:53,600 --> 02:49:51,750 and they and it and it goes back to 3614 02:49:55,730 --> 02:49:53,610 centuries because the idea is if you let 3615 02:49:57,710 --> 02:49:55,740 anything in that's not that then Oh God 3616 02:49:59,180 --> 02:49:57,720 God is coming back in you know religions 3617 02:50:01,760 --> 02:49:59,190 kept coming back in and all that kind of 3618 02:50:07,160 --> 02:50:01,770 stuff which really isn't the case but I 3619 02:50:08,750 --> 02:50:07,170 mean there is um well I mean I I've come 3620 02:50:10,790 --> 02:50:08,760 up against it a little bit myself where 3621 02:50:14,090 --> 02:50:10,800 there's there's there's one character I 3622 02:50:16,730 --> 02:50:14,100 don't know one and and and in the very 3623 02:50:18,560 --> 02:50:16,740 mild gentle way that I usually do that 3624 02:50:19,970 --> 02:50:18,570 yeah as you're saying well perhaps 3625 02:50:21,230 --> 02:50:19,980 there's something else here that we need 3626 02:50:22,940 --> 02:50:21,240 to look at and something along those 3627 02:50:25,550 --> 02:50:22,950 lines and this is like oh my god you 3628 02:50:27,740 --> 02:50:25,560 know Satan get thee behind me you know 3629 02:50:29,060 --> 02:50:27,750 so it's very much I mean this is I'm not 3630 02:50:31,130 --> 02:50:29,070 the first person to say these people 3631 02:50:33,070 --> 02:50:31,140 like Rupert Sheldrake and and others say 3632 02:50:35,120 --> 02:50:33,080 this kind of thing they're kind of anti 3633 02:50:39,560 --> 02:50:35,130 mystical whatever you want to call it 3634 02:50:42,830 --> 02:50:39,570 Antti metaphysical sentiment is the new 3635 02:50:44,150 --> 02:50:42,840 kind of dogma you know it's the same 3636 02:50:46,490 --> 02:50:44,160 thing as the church men who wouldn't 3637 02:50:48,680 --> 02:50:46,500 look through Galileo's telescope that's 3638 02:50:50,600 --> 02:50:48,690 right or the church men who argued 3639 02:50:52,160 --> 02:50:50,610 against you know Darwin or something 3640 02:50:54,830 --> 02:50:52,170 like that they just refused because they 3641 02:50:57,470 --> 02:50:54,840 have this this whole worldview that's 3642 02:51:00,020 --> 02:50:57,480 embedded and has been in place for quite 3643 02:51:01,940 --> 02:51:00,030 some time now and to give that up it's 3644 02:51:04,750 --> 02:51:01,950 like well the hope that everything will 3645 02:51:07,730 --> 02:51:04,760 collapse and they have millions and 3646 02:51:09,410 --> 02:51:07,740 millions of supporters and followers oh 3647 02:51:11,060 --> 02:51:09,420 yeah yeah and they also get money 3648 02:51:12,860 --> 02:51:11,070 because you need you know you need I 3649 02:51:15,320 --> 02:51:12,870 mean if you're doing the mystical thing 3650 02:51:18,070 --> 02:51:15,330 you don't need anything you don't need a 3651 02:51:21,020 --> 02:51:18,080 lab you don't need CERN you don't need 3652 02:51:25,190 --> 02:51:21,030 you don't need you know funding you just 3653 02:51:28,760 --> 02:51:25,200 need time and some seclusion and and you 3654 02:51:30,170 --> 02:51:28,770 know and then you can do it but all this 3655 02:51:33,650 --> 02:51:30,180 other stuff you need all this money and 3656 02:51:36,590 --> 02:51:33,660 funding and everything and they're 3657 02:51:37,820 --> 02:51:36,600 constantly promoting this idea and again 3658 02:51:39,530 --> 02:51:37,830 it's not only this because I'm sure 3659 02:51:41,270 --> 02:51:39,540 they're to some scientists who were 3660 02:51:43,400 --> 02:51:41,280 pursuing it you know for just for the 3661 02:51:45,410 --> 02:51:43,410 sake of of inquiry but they're pursuing 3662 02:51:48,130 --> 02:51:45,420 it to maintain the prestige and and and 3663 02:51:52,120 --> 02:51:49,360 well see and this is what's so 3664 02:51:54,790 --> 02:51:52,130 interesting when you go back to Steiner 3665 02:51:58,330 --> 02:51:54,800 or even and go back to young right and 3666 02:52:02,580 --> 02:51:58,340 and and read about what they were 3667 02:52:06,370 --> 02:52:02,590 talking about extra dimensions parallel 3668 02:52:09,550 --> 02:52:06,380 worlds consciousness existing out there 3669 02:52:12,580 --> 02:52:09,560 in the ether all of these things that 3670 02:52:15,700 --> 02:52:12,590 they spoke about back then or what 3671 02:52:20,520 --> 02:52:15,710 physics today and quantum physics 3672 02:52:24,810 --> 02:52:20,530 including going back to Copenhagen and 3673 02:52:29,680 --> 02:52:24,820 and even Einstein and and others 3674 02:52:33,011 --> 02:52:29,690 Schrodinger in that today string theory 3675 02:52:35,770 --> 02:52:33,021 what is it suggesting it's suggesting 11 3676 02:52:38,800 --> 02:52:35,780 dimensions right and and they are trying 3677 02:52:41,290 --> 02:52:38,810 to scientifically prove that quantum 3678 02:52:44,200 --> 02:52:41,300 mechanics and quantum theory multo you 3679 02:52:46,840 --> 02:52:44,210 know multi world multiverse all of these 3680 02:52:51,070 --> 02:52:46,850 are the concepts that philosophers and 3681 02:52:55,750 --> 02:52:51,080 and the mysticism that was presented 3682 02:52:59,290 --> 02:52:55,760 back in the 1920's 1930's 1940s through 3683 02:53:01,930 --> 02:52:59,300 to today it's it's now science is trying 3684 02:53:03,310 --> 02:53:01,940 to suggest that these things are real 3685 02:53:05,380 --> 02:53:03,320 but we knew it all along 3686 02:53:06,460 --> 02:53:05,390 oh that that's see that's how I feel and 3687 02:53:08,761 --> 02:53:06,470 I see this stuff I think that's 3688 02:53:11,790 --> 02:53:08,771 wonderful but you know come on guys it 3689 02:53:16,470 --> 02:53:11,800 but what I feel like is you know 3690 02:53:19,750 --> 02:53:16,480 indigenous people when you know the 3691 02:53:21,280 --> 02:53:19,760 colonizers turn up and you know plant 3692 02:53:23,230 --> 02:53:21,290 their flag in the name of you know 3693 02:53:24,340 --> 02:53:23,240 whoever and you say well hold on you 3694 02:53:27,700 --> 02:53:24,350 know we've been here for a long time 3695 02:53:29,740 --> 02:53:27,710 already and no III agree with you and 3696 02:53:31,480 --> 02:53:29,750 even young you know young when he wrote 3697 02:53:34,240 --> 02:53:31,490 his book on synchronicity he co-wrote it 3698 02:53:38,950 --> 02:53:34,250 with Wolfgang Pauli who's one of the you 3699 02:53:42,640 --> 02:53:38,960 know most important physicists of the 3700 02:53:44,290 --> 02:53:42,650 last century and power Lee was to talk 3701 02:53:49,900 --> 02:53:44,300 about synchronicities there's a whole 3702 02:53:51,490 --> 02:53:49,910 you may have heard it it's because for 3703 02:53:54,180 --> 02:53:51,500 some strange reason wherever he turned 3704 02:53:57,400 --> 02:53:54,190 up things went wrong you know 3705 02:53:58,960 --> 02:53:57,410 experiments went wrong you know lab 3706 02:54:00,671 --> 02:53:58,970 material blew up and things like that 3707 02:54:03,791 --> 02:54:00,681 and so he's he's some 3708 02:54:06,361 --> 02:54:03,801 I was jinxed in some way did you did you 3709 02:54:10,571 --> 02:54:06,371 know that young wrote a book on UFOs oh 3710 02:54:15,401 --> 02:54:10,581 yeah Marvin myth of things seen in the 3711 02:54:18,671 --> 02:54:15,411 sky yes have you read it and yeah it's 3712 02:54:19,991 --> 02:54:18,681 it's it's fascinating because he he's 3713 02:54:22,600 --> 02:54:20,001 one of the early ones sort of saying 3714 02:54:24,911 --> 02:54:22,610 like well maybe they're not you know 3715 02:54:25,390 --> 02:54:24,921 nuts and bolts you know crafts they're 3716 02:54:28,241 --> 02:54:25,400 somehow 3717 02:54:31,451 --> 02:54:28,251 psychic sorts of things and in the end I 3718 02:54:33,011 --> 02:54:31,461 mean I did a book on young called young 3719 02:54:35,531 --> 02:54:33,021 the mystic and sort of looking at this 3720 02:54:37,031 --> 02:54:35,541 more esoteric kind of a cult side of him 3721 02:54:38,980 --> 02:54:37,041 which she was involved in throughout his 3722 02:54:40,661 --> 02:54:38,990 career but he kind of played captain car 3723 02:54:43,571 --> 02:54:40,671 he played his cards close to his chest 3724 02:54:45,461 --> 02:54:43,581 for yes he did a long time until so the 3725 02:54:48,190 --> 02:54:45,471 forties when he had a heart attack and 3726 02:54:50,831 --> 02:54:48,200 he kind of came out of the closet but in 3727 02:54:53,921 --> 02:54:50,841 my chapter about this book in in my book 3728 02:54:56,140 --> 02:54:53,931 I called the UFOs mandalas from space 3729 02:54:57,821 --> 02:54:56,150 you know because they're because he sees 3730 02:54:59,801 --> 02:54:57,831 saw them as these kind of round you know 3731 02:55:02,440 --> 02:54:59,811 if you know young and if you know your 3732 02:55:04,301 --> 02:55:02,450 you know Tibetan Buddhism and also in 3733 02:55:06,841 --> 02:55:04,311 Hinduism the Mondelez is kind of Magic 3734 02:55:11,161 --> 02:55:06,851 Circle it's it's it's a painting 3735 02:55:14,470 --> 02:55:11,171 illustration of a kind of round 3736 02:55:16,031 --> 02:55:14,480 meditative kind of symbol and Jung 3737 02:55:19,361 --> 02:55:16,041 painted many of them and if you know his 3738 02:55:22,060 --> 02:55:19,371 red book which published about ten years 3739 02:55:25,511 --> 02:55:22,070 ago this was his record of the strange 3740 02:55:27,551 --> 02:55:25,521 kind of psychic breakdown he went he 3741 02:55:31,151 --> 02:55:27,561 went through following his breakup with 3742 02:55:34,211 --> 02:55:31,161 Freud and he related the the mondo of 3743 02:55:35,921 --> 02:55:34,221 this kind of round symbol to the state 3744 02:55:37,451 --> 02:55:35,931 of his own psyche and what he says in 3745 02:55:41,051 --> 02:55:37,461 the UFO book is that what was happening 3746 02:55:42,970 --> 02:55:41,061 and in the world then was that there was 3747 02:55:46,331 --> 02:55:42,980 this schizophrenic tension between the 3748 02:55:48,100 --> 02:55:46,341 east and west and the planet itself was 3749 02:55:51,491 --> 02:55:48,110 somehow generating these images as 3750 02:55:54,281 --> 02:55:51,501 symbols of wholeness you know and they 3751 02:55:56,350 --> 02:55:54,291 were both kind of the goal that you're 3752 02:55:57,701 --> 02:55:56,360 moving towards and if you know you and 3753 02:55:59,651 --> 02:55:57,711 this is something he talks about the 3754 02:56:01,270 --> 02:55:59,661 kind of psychic wholeness again you can 3755 02:56:03,041 --> 02:56:01,280 get back to lift in my brain you know 3756 02:56:07,211 --> 02:56:03,051 working together right right at the same 3757 02:56:08,741 --> 02:56:07,221 time it's a means of achieving that so 3758 02:56:10,121 --> 02:56:08,751 kind of the mandala is what you're 3759 02:56:11,951 --> 02:56:10,131 heading towards but it's also by 3760 02:56:14,020 --> 02:56:11,961 meditating on it you you you sort of 3761 02:56:15,970 --> 02:56:14,030 percent on your way 3762 02:56:18,520 --> 02:56:15,980 no I think young is one of these you 3763 02:56:23,350 --> 02:56:18,530 know he I would say Blavatsky and then 3764 02:56:25,390 --> 02:56:23,360 young and then the third one probably 3765 02:56:27,730 --> 02:56:25,400 almost equality but
