Zaius 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,980 because we know 8 00:00:38,870 --> 00:00:36,480 [Music] 9 00:00:42,850 --> 00:00:38,880 [Applause] 10 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:45,830 all right higher side chatters it's no 11 00:00:49,369 --> 00:00:47,760 secret that the conspiratorial crowd has 12 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,379 made many claims about the capstone 13 00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:51,360 cabal and the ruling elite class of past 14 00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:53,550 and present claims that range from a 15 00:00:57,049 --> 00:00:55,440 fascination with occult arts securing 16 00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:57,059 power through magic and making dark 17 00:01:01,460 --> 00:00:58,710 pacts with demonic multi-dimensional 18 00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:01,470 entities to selective breeding carefully 19 00:01:04,999 --> 00:01:03,120 preserving bloodlines and even that 20 00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:05,009 these psychopathic power players have 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:07,110 some type of reptilian origin that might 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:09,690 make them only half human and as we know 23 00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:11,490 it's very hard to find the smoking gun 24 00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:13,020 for these sorts of claims and we're left 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:15,000 with the analysis of small breadcrumbs 26 00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:17,130 strange symbolism and the occasional 27 00:01:21,139 --> 00:01:19,350 promotion of ideas and motifs that seem 28 00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:21,149 completely foreign to anything we would 29 00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:23,729 recognize in the mainstream well folks 30 00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:25,830 it seems like a 15th century relic known 31 00:01:29,930 --> 00:01:28,110 as the soul of booshka taraji has broken 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:29,940 free of its carefully maintained

at a Milan Museum 36 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:38,070 in modern times and wouldn't you know it 37 00:01:42,139 --> 00:01:40,050 contains aspects of nearly all of those 38 00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:42,149 oh so strange conspiratorial claims 39 00:01:46,249 --> 00:01:44,700 lucky for us though the Royal worldview 40 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,259 has carefully kept close to the chest 41 00:01:50,089 --> 00:01:48,000 and putting such a relic in its proper 42 00:01:52,339 --> 00:01:50,099 context seems like a monumental task 43 00:01:54,949 --> 00:01:52,349 today's guest Peter mark Adams is a 44

book something that 64 00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:33,540 yeah I mean it is something I don't 65 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:35,550 think I could put together if my life 66 00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:37,530 depended on it you know so really kudos 67 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:41,310 to you thank you so much and you know to 68 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:43,650 kick this off we really have to break 69 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:45,090 this down for people but we're talking 70 00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:47,250 about an elaborately illustrated and 71 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:49,260 decorated deck of cards that matches the 72 00:02:53,569 --> 00:02:51,510 structure of a classic tarot deck dating 73 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:53,579 back to the Italian Renaissance I guess 74 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:55,170 it's the oldest known deck of its type 75 00:02:58,759 --> 00:02:56,010 in existence 76 00:03:01,009 --> 00:02:58,769 you call it a Taraki because outside of 77 00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:01,019 that same basic structure it doesn't 78 00:03:05,179 --> 00:03:02,700 really have much else in common with 79 00:03:08,059 --> 00:03:05,189 traditional tarot is that right that's 80 00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:08,069 right there's about three cards in the 81 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:10,230 deck that have a kind of passing 82 00:03:14,899 --> 00:03:13,110 similarity to the cards you'd expect to 83 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:14,909 see amongst the trumps in a modern deck 84 00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:17,250 but apart from that everything else is 85 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:20,790 utterly unique and it was that fact 86 00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:23,010 actually which really got me turned on 87 00:03:30,220 --> 00:03:26,489 to the task of trying to figure out why 88 00:03:33,970 --> 00:03:30,230 they've gone to such extraordinary cost 89 00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:33,980 investment of time the use of a 90 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:39,030 Renaissance master engraver and yet the 91 00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:41,310 thing didn't make any sense so there's 92 00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:43,260 some had to be something going on here 93 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:45,900 which I couldn't figure out and that 94 00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:48,690 really led me on down the rabbit hole to 95 00:03:53,629 --> 00:03:51,150 be honest I started to disappear from 96 00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:53,639 day to day living as I got engrossed in 97 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:54,540 this thing you know 98 00:03:59,899 --> 00:03:57,450 yeah and eventually I was working like 99 00:04:02,930 --> 00:03:59,909 16 hours a day lost every day's a week 100 00:04:06,189 --> 00:04:02,940 it took me about three years to break 101 00:04:10,069 --> 00:04:06,199 into the decks heavily coded 102 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:10,079 multi-layered symbolism mm-hmm it's so 103 00:04:14,659 --> 00:04:12,329 provocative and the artwork on the cards 104 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:14,669 they depict everything from fairly 105 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:17,250 innocent looking figures to decapitation 106 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:19,769 and holding babies over fire pits yeah 107 00:04:23,629 --> 00:04:21,570 but I guess what about the artwork is so 108 00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:23,639 special not only from a Content 109 00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:25,550 perspective but a historical one as well 110 00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:28,800 yeah I mean this is the first it's the 111 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:31,740 earliest complete tarot deck that exists 112 00:04:38,210 --> 00:04:35,910 that's one thing secondly it's been done 113 00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:38,220 by this Renaissance master engraver 114 00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:41,820 so the quality is absolutely superb and 115 00:04:46,939 --> 00:04:44,820 those two factors alone set the deck 116 00:04:50,570 --> 00:04:46,949 apart from really well everything else 117 00:04:53,149 --> 00:04:50,580 the third factor though it has no 118 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:53,159 Christian imagery or symbolism in it 119 00:04:58,820 --> 00:04:56,490 whatsoever hmm and that is that is 120 00:05:00,800 --> 00:04:58,830 really exceptional I mean I can't think 121 00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:00,810 of another tarot deck in existence that 122 00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:03,950 doesn't include certain aspects of the 123 00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:07,860 Christian theology right I found that 124 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:09,750 strange as well because 125 00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:11,370 I'm a little bit familiar with the Tarot 126 00:05:15,740 --> 00:05:13,200 and there's always that final judgment 127 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:15,750 card at least which is a very Christian 128 00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:18,570 thing that's it and there's nothing like 129 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:20,910 that in this deck and again that was 130 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:23,850 another of the factors that drove me to 131 00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:26,130 try and figure out what the heck is 132 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:28,620 going on with this thing hmm there's 133 00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:30,810 another factor as well Greg which is 134 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:33,750 really strange this deck despite being a 135 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:36,690 masterpiece of Renaissance art has no 136 00:05:42,370 --> 00:05:39,840 provenance whatsoever and like 137 00:05:46,490 --> 00:05:42,380 provenance is everything in the art game 138 00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:46,500 where did it come from where did it 139 00:05:51,470 --> 00:05:49,110 originate who is whose hands has it been 140 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:51,480 in because this is a deck of cards that 141 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:55,530 survived in tact for 500 years and 142 00:06:02,330 --> 00:05:57,840 nobody knows where it's been for at 143 00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:02,340 least 300 of those teams so there's a 144 00:06:07,850 --> 00:06:04,320 lot of mysteries there's a lot of locked 145 00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:07,860 boxes and it's like the wet dream for 146 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:10,230 the esoteric researcher you know 147 00:06:17,630 --> 00:06:15,570 absolutely I can't claim to have cracked 148 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:17,640 the whole thing III think I got most of 149 00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:21,210 the Trump and court cards decoded but 150 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:23,430 there's a substantial and number of suit 151 00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:27,090 cards that still require work there's 152 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:31,200 more to come always and so you know the 153 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:33,450 main purpose of a typical Turo is 154 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:35,850 divination but is there an indication 155 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:39,090 that that is not the same purpose here 156 00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:40,710 or is this just a different form of 157 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,040 divination I think people have always 158 00:06:48,590 --> 00:06:46,800 used different things around them for 159 00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:48,600 divinatory purposes you know whether 160 00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:52,500 it's coffee grounds or what the original 161 00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:54,870 decks were created for gaming that's 162 00:06:59,719 --> 00:06:57,600 where the the Tarot came from but of 163 00:07:02,570 --> 00:06:59,729 course because of the imagery because of 164 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:02,580 its symbolic nature it lends itself to 165 00:07:10,219 --> 00:07:06,650 other uses specifically to divination I 166 00:07:12,290 --> 00:07:10,229 think that if I'm gonna like jump to the 167 00:07:16,250 --> 00:07:12,300 core of the thing what we're faced with 168 00:07:19,950 --> 00:07:16,260 here is something like an elite grimoire 169 00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:19,960 of surgical 170 00:07:26,969 --> 00:07:23,470 draconian magic hmm okay if I just like 171 00:07:29,309 --> 00:07:26,979 sum up the endpoint of my research and 172 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:29,319 the question therefore is where did it 173 00:07:36,210 --> 00:07:33,520 come from how was it used and what was 174 00:07:39,450 --> 00:07:36,220 the intent of the designer mm-hmm in 175 00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:39,460 putting this thing together because it 176 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:42,639 illuminates an aspect of the modern 177 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:45,130 conspiracy world this this notion of a 178 00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:48,849 cult of Saturn yes it illuminates the 179 00:07:54,990 --> 00:07:51,940 origins of this thing which before now 180 00:07:57,420 --> 00:07:55,000 has been very nebulous right and it is 181 00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:57,430 such a amazing piece of history and 182 00:08:01,409 --> 00:08:00,400 amazing artifact for that reason and I 183 00:08:02,969 --> 00:08:01,419 guess I would also ask you because 184 00:08:04,379 --> 00:08:02,979 you're not the first person to look at 185 00:08:06,930 --> 00:08:04,389 this deck what can you tell us about 186 00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:06,940 some of the theories about the deck and 187 00:08:13,170 --> 00:08:09,190 why it was created before you came along 188 00:08:15,390 --> 00:08:13,180 the things that you dismiss well the 189 00:08:18,510 --> 00:08:15,400 obvious thing is that you know nine of 190 00:08:21,930 --> 00:08:18,520 the trump cards depict figures connected 191 00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:21,940 with Roman Republican history so it's 192 00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:24,460 easy to dismiss the whole deck as an 193 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:27,759 educational deck but as an explanation 194 00:08:32,819 --> 00:08:30,490 it just doesn't stand up hmm how about 195 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,829 the other you know trump cards how about 196 00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:35,039 all the court cards and the you know 197 00:08:43,769 --> 00:08:38,820 suit cards so you know the obvious 198 00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:43,779 explanation is to facile to suggest that 199 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:46,390 it's an educational deck also doesn't 200 00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:48,850 take account of the homoerotic elements 201 00:08:57,630 --> 00:08:52,270 in its imagery you know it's a Christian 202 00:09:01,680 --> 00:08:57,640 stance and the fact that the trump cards 203 00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:01,690 that appear to named Roman figures have 204 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:05,820 been spelt in such a way that you cannot 205 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:08,290 immediately identify any particular 206 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:10,930 person okay the Romans had a thing 207 00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:12,850 called the gens it was like a family 208 00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:17,680 name and because the Roman elite was 209 00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:19,750 governed by a very small number of 210 00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:21,670 families for a period of like five 211 00:09:26,069 --> 00:09:22,839 hundred years 212 00:09:30,540 --> 00:09:26,079 the gens doesn't give you any indication 213 00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:30,550 of of which member of the family within 214 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:33,310 that five hundred years you know who it 215 00:09:36,689 --> 00:09:33,970 could be 216 00:09:38,939 --> 00:09:36,699 hmm so again it doesn't actually fulfill 217 00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:38,949 an educational purpose on that score 218 00:09:44,910 --> 00:09:41,560 either the other explanation is that 219 00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:44,920 it's another wedding present a kind of 220 00:09:49,439 --> 00:09:46,360 sumptuous wedding present like the 221 00:09:52,079 --> 00:09:49,449 Visconti sports a deck but again the 222 00:09:54,869 --> 00:09:52,089 homoerotic imagery the baby getting 223 00:09:59,579 --> 00:09:54,879 cooked over the fire scenes of 224 00:10:02,269 --> 00:09:59,589 immolation and decapitation that would 225 00:10:04,410 --> 00:10:02,279 be some wedding present right right 226 00:10:08,249 --> 00:10:04,420 that's good instead you wouldn't be 227 00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:08,259 invited back true so they're the main 228 00:10:13,019 --> 00:10:11,350 lines that have been attempted to 229 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:13,029 explain the imagery in this deck and 230 00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:15,490 they don't really work mm-hmm 231 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:17,470 so there has to be a deeper game going 232 00:10:22,439 --> 00:10:20,649 on and another foundational thing that 233 00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:22,449 we should probably discuss with people 234 00:10:26,579 --> 00:10:25,480 or discuss for people is that there's 235 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:26,589 also something that should be said about 236 00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:28,930 the historical context like not only the 237 00:10:32,910 --> 00:10:30,910 politics of the time but the attitudes 238 00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:32,920 about magical ritual and practice this 239 00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:34,480 kind of speaks to those homoerotic 240 00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:36,040 elements you mentioned but what do you 241 00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:37,750 think is important for people to know in 242 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,660 that regard to place this back in its 243 00:10:45,449 --> 00:10:42,160 proper context of when it was actually 244 00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:45,459 made okay I mean if we're going to turn 245 00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:47,189 the clock back to 15th century 246 00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:50,529 Renaissance Europe and specifically to 247 00:10:58,079 --> 00:10:53,829 Italy magic in one form or other was 248 00:11:02,400 --> 00:10:58,089 pervasive at every level of society from 249 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:02,410 the kind of folk healing folk witchcraft 250 00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:05,649 and Carlo Ginsberg has done excellent 251 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:08,110 work in documenting some of the 252 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:11,290 long-lived pagan witchcraft movements in 253 00:11:16,769 --> 00:11:14,170 Italy the Bernadotte see in the north of 254 00:11:19,939 --> 00:11:16,779 Italy we have the possession coat of 255 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:19,949 Terrence's mo in the south of Italy and 256 00:11:27,449 --> 00:11:24,610 on top of this you have a layer of what 257 00:11:30,660 --> 00:11:27,459 I would call grimoire magic so that you 258 00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:30,670 find clerical scholars students monks 259 00:11:38,309 --> 00:11:35,350 priests specializing in ritual magic for 260 00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:38,319 hire okay so if you have any problems 261 00:11:43,379 --> 00:11:40,870 you go to them and they you know that 262 00:11:45,389 --> 00:11:43,389 you need a demon exercising or you want 263 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:45,399 to summon a demon and send it against 264 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:46,410 someone they 265 00:11:52,340 --> 00:11:49,290 use of attack sorcery these would be the 266 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:52,350 go-to people for that and we have 267 00:11:57,230 --> 00:11:54,570 excellent testimony from the 268 00:12:00,860 --> 00:11:57,240 inquisitorial records for Modena and 269 00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:00,870 Bologna which demonstrate that these 270 00:12:06,950 --> 00:12:04,260 priests the ones who were recognized as 271 00:12:09,950 --> 00:12:06,960 wielding a lot of power in terms of 272 00:12:12,590 --> 00:12:09,960 demonic magic with very carefully 273 00:12:14,780 --> 00:12:12,600 protected by the elite mm-hmm 274 00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:14,790 their major sponsors were the elite 275 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:16,980 families in fact and whenever an 276 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:19,530 Inquisitor attempted to take one to 277 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:22,770 court have them defrocked or whatever 278 00:12:26,930 --> 00:12:25,050 they could do against them the elite 279 00:12:29,810 --> 00:12:26,940 families always stepped in and put the 280 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:29,820 case aside so they were well protected 281 00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:33,450 at the highest levels of the Renaissance 282 00:12:39,610 --> 00:12:36,600 Society right so that that's pretty well 283 00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:39,620 the pyramid as it were the background 284 00:12:45,950 --> 00:12:43,230 into which this deck which actually 285 00:12:49,490 --> 00:12:45,960 illustrates another strand and stream of 286 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:49,500 magic coming from the east entered into 287 00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:52,290 and merged with mm-hmm yes that 288 00:12:55,970 --> 00:12:53,700 background makes it all the more 289 00:12:58,220 --> 00:12:55,980 provocative and when it comes to the 290 00:13:01,310 --> 00:12:58,230 decks influences and the worldview and 291 00:13:02,510 --> 00:13:01,320 ideas that it seems to contain you kind 292 00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:02,520 of break it down into three parts 293 00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,320 because it can get pretty complex but 294 00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:06,480 you talk about the decks cosmology its 295 00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:08,820 metaphysics and its ritual use and I 296 00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:10,950 think that's a pretty clear way to talk 297 00:13:16,370 --> 00:13:12,990 about such a dense item what would you 298 00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:16,380 say about its cosmology for example its 299 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:21,480 wholly malefic and and it identifies a 300 00:13:26,630 --> 00:13:23,970 series of planets fixed stars and 301 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:26,640 constellations that are the most malefic 302 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:30,720 in terms of astral magic and it was this 303 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:33,570 fact that gave me the first indication 304 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:36,450 that what I was dealing with was a 305 00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:40,110 grimoire of elite sorcery of the dark is 306 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:44,040 carried right okay so that's the 307 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:46,470 cosmology that we have here mm-hmm 308 00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:48,690 the items you know you would find them 309 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:51,540 in picker tricks or any of those classic 310 00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:54,810 texts of astral magic but the ones 311 00:14:00,140 --> 00:13:57,600 particularly picked out and illustrated 312 00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:00,150 within the deck are wholly malefic 313 00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:03,960 so I can't conceive of another use of 314 00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:06,630 those energies other than what they call 315 00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:10,950 maleficium attack sorcery right it's 316 00:14:15,019 --> 00:14:13,230 pretty cut and dry when it comes to the 317 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:15,029 things they were trying to invoke it's 318 00:14:22,579 --> 00:14:18,330 just negativity across the board it 319 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:22,589 seems it's it's an exercise in power I 320 00:14:26,990 --> 00:14:24,570 think when we look at these elite 321 00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:27,000 families you know we need to realize 322 00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:29,790 that they were not like a modern state 323 00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:32,070 they didn't function in that way they 324 00:14:37,970 --> 00:14:34,710 were far closer to the Godfather you 325 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:37,980 know the the film D mafia hmm they had 326 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:41,370 their beneficial side but they were 327 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,360 capable of any kind of cruelty or evil 328 00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:48,000 mm-hmm these were the families from 329 00:14:54,590 --> 00:14:51,510 which Machiavelli drew the principles of 330 00:14:56,810 --> 00:14:54,600 governing just by observing them so on 331 00:14:59,320 --> 00:14:56,820 the one side they would have dynastic 332 00:15:02,480 --> 00:14:59,330 marriages they would have you know 333 00:15:04,579 --> 00:15:02,490 agreements treaties and so on but on the 334 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:04,589 other side the flip side of the coin is 335 00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:06,810 their employment of poisonous you know 336 00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:12,959 sorcerers assassins spies so you know 337 00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:14,820 there's like two sides to the coin and 338 00:15:20,090 --> 00:15:17,580 and this deck illustrates this is why 339 00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:20,100 it's such a rare artifact a very dark 340 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:23,630 side of the dark side of the coin mm-hmm 341 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:26,850 but I want to qualify that and it's 342 00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:29,250 something probably we'll unpack as we go 343 00:15:35,390 --> 00:15:31,740 along way it is is to say that what this 344 00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:35,400 deck is exemplifying is not the 345 00:15:42,620 --> 00:15:39,420 traditional grimoire sorcery okay okay 346 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:42,630 like the sorcerers these guys this elite 347 00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:45,930 employed had copies of like the Key of 348 00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:48,510 Solomon and Allen Bedell and and those 349 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:51,240 kinda Tex classic grimoires you know 350 00:15:58,610 --> 00:15:55,730 this stuff is of an order above that in 351 00:16:01,310 --> 00:15:58,620 terms of its educational background its 352 00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:01,320 tradition and it's almost never been 353 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:03,510 talked about in the context of the 354 00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:06,930 Western esoteric history before because 355 00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:08,910 it comes straight from the Byzantine 356 00:16:14,170 --> 00:16:12,200 elite Wow okay 357 00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:14,180 it's another thread it's not been 358 00:16:18,850 --> 00:16:16,760 thought about as far as I can see has 359 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:18,860 not been identified as a major player 360 00:16:26,050 --> 00:16:22,370 amongst the elites of Europe before this 361 00:16:28,269 --> 00:16:26,060 deck is depicting a tradition which goes 362 00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:28,279 from orphism through the neo-platonists 363 00:16:36,250 --> 00:16:31,459 into the Byzantine Imperial elite and 364 00:16:39,069 --> 00:16:36,260 from them to Italy hmm man it is you 365 00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:39,079 know no small thing yeah dealing with an 366 00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:43,910 order of learned sorcery far above the 367 00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:47,209 popular grimoires mm-hmm and so to talk 368 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:49,190 a little bit about kind of how they view 369 00:16:54,879 --> 00:16:52,130 reality structure you talk about how 370 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:54,889 their view the view that's expressed in 371 00:17:00,519 --> 00:16:57,410 this deck is that souls are reincarnated 372 00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:00,529 and kind of the symbol of the exes where 373 00:17:04,059 --> 00:17:02,240 they see the Milky Way crossing with the 374 00:17:05,939 --> 00:17:04,069 path of the zodiac and that's the portal 375 00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:05,949 between the worlds this is a type of 376 00:17:11,789 --> 00:17:09,079 worldview or a cosmology that definitely 377 00:17:15,130 --> 00:17:11,799 wasn't taught to the masses it seems 378 00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:15,140 yeah this emerges directly from orphism 379 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:18,260 so we're back in the 8th century BC at 380 00:17:25,870 --> 00:17:23,510 least and it's been picked up through 381 00:17:29,409 --> 00:17:25,880 figures like ferric ids Pythagoras's 382 00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:29,419 teacher Plato of course and the neo 383 00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:32,240 platonic philosophers after so there's a 384 00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:34,940 continuous tradition there until like 385 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:39,200 the 6th century CE II so it's like 1200 386 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:41,570 years old tradition at this point right 387 00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:44,000 ok and then there's an attempt by the 388 00:17:49,260 --> 00:17:46,309 Christian Emperor you know Justinian to 389 00:17:52,030 --> 00:17:49,270 stamp this out not very successful 390 00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:52,040 because the Byzantine elite and 391 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,559 especially its Civil Service were 392 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:57,200 thoroughly imbued with the values of 393 00:18:00,490 --> 00:17:57,890 Hellenism 394 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:00,500 to enter the civil service you had to 395 00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:03,530 have a relevant number of years study of 396 00:18:09,070 --> 00:18:05,809 Hellenistic classical literature and 397 00:18:12,220 --> 00:18:09,080 philosophy and with that it's kind of 398 00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:12,230 you know in the kernel of it is paganism 399 00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:15,260 you can't extract it out of it if you're 400 00:18:22,090 --> 00:18:18,140 studying Plato you have paganism built 401 00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:22,100 in so to speak mm-hmm so it perpetuated 402 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:25,070 itself well into the 15th century and 403 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:25,730 you 404 00:18:32,169 --> 00:18:28,850 major figures in the Byzantium court at 405 00:18:35,860 --> 00:18:32,179 this time the imperial elite who are 406 00:18:37,539 --> 00:18:35,870 self declared pagans you know and again 407 00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:37,549 this doesn't quite fit in with our 408 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:41,809 church written history of the times but 409 00:18:46,930 --> 00:18:43,850 nevertheless that's that's how things 410 00:18:48,909 --> 00:18:46,940 fell out right and you talked about 411 00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:48,919 Mithra cult which is something that I've 412 00:18:53,889 --> 00:18:51,710 had researchers dig up before and they 413 00:18:57,039 --> 00:18:53,899 some suggest it's a thread that still 414 00:19:01,659 --> 00:18:57,049 continues in the background today but to 415 00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:01,669 have these nods to a myth rayet cult at 416 00:19:05,169 --> 00:19:03,740 this time depth it is strange I mean 417 00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:05,179 that's just what you're saying this cult 418 00:19:10,570 --> 00:19:06,830 and these ideas should have been long 419 00:19:13,389 --> 00:19:10,580 gone by the 15th century gather well 420 00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:13,399 alive and they had a huge revival in the 421 00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:15,830 10th and 11th century with people like 422 00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:18,559 Michael pizzelles who recovered much of 423 00:19:23,379 --> 00:19:21,320 the literature but again our history 424 00:19:24,909 --> 00:19:23,389 lets us down Greg because you know we 425 00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:24,919 see people figures like Michael 426 00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:26,809 pizzelles who recovered the Chaldean 427 00:19:34,629 --> 00:19:31,190 Oracle's as standing alone we don't see 428 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:34,639 them in context Micah Purcell has had 429 00:19:40,779 --> 00:19:38,570 teachers who inaugurated his interest in 430 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:40,789 these ancient texts and ideas and and 431 00:19:46,180 --> 00:19:43,010 they had teachers and you know the 432 00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:46,190 golden thread runs back and forth back 433 00:19:50,980 --> 00:19:48,769 into the past and forward into 434 00:19:53,710 --> 00:19:50,990 contemporary history it's never broken 435 00:19:54,779 --> 00:19:53,720 and I think there's one good reason why 436 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:54,789 that's the case 437 00:20:03,789 --> 00:19:58,610 the worldview that exists at the core of 438 00:20:06,399 --> 00:20:03,799 this system makes sense in a way in 439 00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:06,409 which doctrinaire theology does not make 440 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:11,919 sense ok it is an esoteric experiential 441 00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:16,250 approach to reality so that for those of 442 00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:18,230 us who for instance worked with energy 443 00:20:22,779 --> 00:20:20,990 you do regression where constellation 444 00:20:25,509 --> 00:20:22,789 where whatever the notion of 445 00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:25,519 reincarnation is a very real one mm-hmm 446 00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:29,029 you experienced people who recover past 447 00:20:34,930 --> 00:20:32,360 life information so you know you don't 448 00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:34,940 need a theological judgment about it it 449 00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:37,440 becomes part of your experience 450 00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:39,929 and the belief system coming out of 451 00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:42,960 autism is rooted in real experience in 452 00:20:50,499 --> 00:20:45,990 this way it's liberating because it has 453 00:20:53,210 --> 00:20:50,509 this many lives aspect to it and it 454 00:20:55,369 --> 00:20:53,220 places the onus on your own moral 455 00:20:58,039 --> 00:20:55,379 development rather than obeying some of 456 00:21:01,249 --> 00:20:58,049 these rules mm-hmm okay so there's a 457 00:21:03,950 --> 00:21:01,259 dynamic element at the core of the 458 00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:03,960 belief system that perpetuates itself 459 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:05,820 from year to year from century to 460 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:08,490 century and even if it was lost it would 461 00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:11,370 be recovered or recoverable right 462 00:21:17,509 --> 00:21:13,919 because that's the way things are you 463 00:21:19,369 --> 00:21:17,519 know okay yes and you know these ideas 464 00:21:22,129 --> 00:21:19,379 you're talking about now very Gnostic 465 00:21:24,499 --> 00:21:22,139 and in regards to the deck as a Gnostic 466 00:21:26,539 --> 00:21:24,509 piece you say in categorizing the decks 467 00:21:28,669 --> 00:21:26,549 cosmology as Gnostic we need to take 468 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:28,679 care not to confuse this fact with the 469 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:30,450 historically documented Gnostic 470 00:21:34,430 --> 00:21:32,450 preoccupation with spiritual liberation 471 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:34,440 nothing could be further from the 472 00:21:38,389 --> 00:21:36,240 worldview of the nobles to design this 473 00:21:40,639 --> 00:21:38,399 deck yeah and obviously that's an 474 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:40,649 important separation I guess what other 475 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:43,049 aspects of Gnosticism do actually make 476 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:46,129 it into the deck everything is there 477 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:49,289 except this this view that you should 478 00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:53,370 somehow clamber out of the cycle of meta 479 00:22:00,049 --> 00:21:56,070 psychosis and you know ascend to a 480 00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:00,059 higher plane that is totally absent this 481 00:22:08,450 --> 00:22:05,039 deck takes Gnosticism and converts it 482 00:22:12,619 --> 00:22:08,460 into a mechanism or let's let's put it 483 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:12,629 this way this deck as a Gnostic artifact 484 00:22:19,299 --> 00:22:15,450 embodies the idea that if the machinery 485 00:22:23,570 --> 00:22:19,309 of the universe runs in such a way that 486 00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:23,580 subsequent lives arise out of the way 487 00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:28,049 you worship way you treat deities in 488 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:30,600 this life then you can start affecting 489 00:22:37,249 --> 00:22:32,809 the trajectory of your subsequent 490 00:22:39,259 --> 00:22:37,259 reincarnation okay right so this ideas 491 00:22:41,899 --> 00:22:39,269 is taken directly out of Plato's 492 00:22:43,970 --> 00:22:41,909 Phaedrus you know we're in the deities 493 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:43,980 you worship in this life you enter their 494 00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:47,250 training you enter their entourage upon 495 00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:50,190 death and you travel with them and then 496 00:22:54,050 --> 00:22:51,030 you kind of 497 00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:54,060 reenter okay now the key here is to 498 00:23:01,280 --> 00:22:57,000 re-enter into a social circle that is 499 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:01,290 suitable for your objectives and for 500 00:23:07,610 --> 00:23:03,330 these elite families the objective is to 501 00:23:10,250 --> 00:23:07,620 re-enter an elite family mm-hmm okay so 502 00:23:12,380 --> 00:23:10,260 in this way the ritual suggested within 503 00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:12,390 the deck is a way of controlling the 504 00:23:17,060 --> 00:23:14,760 trajectory of one's own meta psychosis 505 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:17,070 and this is where the notion of 506 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:19,890 bloodlines takes on a new and deeper 507 00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:22,530 meaning absolutely that's so interesting 508 00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:24,870 because it's like we always see the 509 00:23:30,970 --> 00:23:28,110 elite as into playing the long game and 510 00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:30,980 these multi-generational mindsets and 511 00:23:34,130 --> 00:23:32,670 mainstream culture looks at that and 512 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:34,140 says well that makes no sense 513 00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:37,050 you know people only live to be 78 years 514 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:38,310 old they're not worried about what's 515 00:23:43,610 --> 00:23:40,770 going on for a 200 year game plan 516 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:43,620 but this context makes that seem 517 00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:45,930 plausible and it justifies why that 518 00:23:50,570 --> 00:23:47,990 worldview would exist among the elite 519 00:23:52,910 --> 00:23:50,580 yeah and if you look at the ethnographic 520 00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:52,920 record around the world you find you 521 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:54,900 know plenty of places where this is the 522 00:24:00,500 --> 00:23:57,690 way things are managed they take a lot 523 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:00,510 occur with death ritual to try and 524 00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:02,850 ensure the subsequent rebirth of that 525 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:06,780 let's call it soul back into the family 526 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:09,570 group or into the community or whatever 527 00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:11,850 and it kind of reaches a high point with 528 00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:15,320 the Buddhist Lamas who of course attempt 529 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:19,350 multiple subsequent rebirth into equally 530 00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:22,530 spiritual positions and monasteries okay 531 00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:24,630 they have a mechanism for running that 532 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:26,880 process and for them validating that 533 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:30,090 it's working so it's actually the 534 00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:32,490 Western esoteric system that's kind of 535 00:24:37,820 --> 00:24:35,640 lacking this but clearly at an elite 536 00:24:41,030 --> 00:24:37,830 level the awareness of it was still 537 00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:41,040 there it is amazing this is like Exhibit 538 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:43,260 A for the case that I've heard people 539 00:24:47,150 --> 00:24:45,210 trying to make for such a long time 540 00:24:49,970 --> 00:24:47,160 without having any real evidence or 541 00:24:53,180 --> 00:24:49,980 proof I mean this is no small thing and 542 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:53,190 I guess we should address dead on why is 543 00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:55,610 it called the game of Saturn 544 00:25:01,720 --> 00:24:58,970 the figure of Saturn pervades this deck 545 00:25:04,780 --> 00:25:01,730 here at every level I've got a quote 546 00:25:06,730 --> 00:25:04,790 here it's by pro kleh Singh in this 547 00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:06,740 platonic theology says old Greek 548 00:25:12,430 --> 00:25:09,440 theology is the offspring of Orphic 549 00:25:15,550 --> 00:25:12,440 mystical doctrine and if you look at the 550 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:15,560 Orphic dr journey it starts out with 551 00:25:24,130 --> 00:25:19,730 Cronus the great serpent gives birth to 552 00:25:26,380 --> 00:25:24,140 a egg and from the egg it splits apart 553 00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:26,390 to create the land and the sky and and 554 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:29,870 within it is the figure of Fanny's wound 555 00:25:37,690 --> 00:25:33,200 around by a large serpent so this is a 556 00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:37,700 very early component that situation 557 00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:40,340 Cronus at the most fundamental point of 558 00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:43,760 creation hmm okay and Cronus is Saturn 559 00:25:51,790 --> 00:25:47,230 right and for the Carthaginians he was 560 00:25:55,630 --> 00:25:51,800 Baal Hammon and in the Bible he appears 561 00:25:57,970 --> 00:25:55,640 as Moloch hmm okay these are all the 562 00:26:00,580 --> 00:25:57,980 same entity but different aspects of it 563 00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:00,590 so but this routes in the Orphic 564 00:26:06,370 --> 00:26:02,960 tradition Cronus becomes the central 565 00:26:08,890 --> 00:26:06,380 player he is the Demiurge he is the 566 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:08,900 creator entity so the serpentine or 567 00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:12,890 draconian form of the deity is the 568 00:26:18,190 --> 00:26:15,830 primal one mm-hmm okay 569 00:26:21,370 --> 00:26:18,200 that's why the game of Saturn and then 570 00:26:25,330 --> 00:26:21,380 multiple cards within the deck kind of 571 00:26:28,780 --> 00:26:25,340 replay this this theme of the serpent 572 00:26:32,380 --> 00:26:28,790 has Saturn as the serpent as Baal Hammon 573 00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:32,390 you know son who put this thing together 574 00:26:39,790 --> 00:26:36,830 had a very good grasp of mythology and 575 00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:39,800 the Theogony and cosmology of various 576 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:43,760 faiths that is so true and along this 577 00:26:48,190 --> 00:26:45,650 line to quote you again you say the 578 00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:48,200 decks theology embraces gnostic 579 00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:50,270 cosmology in its totality but 580 00:26:54,850 --> 00:26:52,430 nevertheless discards liberation in 581 00:26:58,090 --> 00:26:54,860 favor of the positive embrace of the 582 00:27:00,280 --> 00:26:58,100 demiurges worldly rulership is this to 583 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:00,290 say that there's a mindset within the 584 00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:01,730 15th century elite that says hey 585 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:03,590 Demiurge i know you're the boss we 586 00:27:06,820 --> 00:27:05,450 figured this out so how can I get on 587 00:27:08,290 --> 00:27:06,830 your good side how can we work out a 588 00:27:10,330 --> 00:27:08,300 deal 589 00:27:12,660 --> 00:27:10,340 I couldn't put it better myself right 590 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:12,670 [Laughter] 591 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:14,810 that's it you got it 592 00:27:19,660 --> 00:27:17,810 Wow it seems so in line with 593 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:19,670 conspiratorial suggestions today that 594 00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:21,170 the elite have made a deal with the 595 00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:23,360 Demiurge to basically be the management 596 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:25,580 class on the earthly plane to opt out of 597 00:27:29,830 --> 00:27:27,530 the rebirth cycle and stay in these 598 00:27:31,870 --> 00:27:29,840 positions maintain these bloodlines and 599 00:27:34,090 --> 00:27:31,880 in exchange have vast amounts of 600 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:34,100 material wealth and power I guess that's 601 00:27:38,890 --> 00:27:35,810 a worldview that's pretty aligned with 602 00:27:42,250 --> 00:27:38,900 this 15th century elite heirloom and its 603 00:27:45,060 --> 00:27:42,260 Chain of Custody I guess yeah it's the 604 00:27:47,590 --> 00:27:45,070 horrible realization isn't it that those 605 00:27:51,250 --> 00:27:47,600 conspiracy theories have their roots in 606 00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:51,260 a real tradition mm-hmm you know that's 607 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:53,630 the bottom line with this reading of the 608 00:28:01,030 --> 00:27:55,840 deck this interpretation of the deck 609 00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:01,040 mm-hmm it's horribly real right and and 610 00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:02,720 that's kind of like what I just think is 611 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:05,030 so provocative about it and you write 612 00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:06,770 about how they had this worldview that 613 00:28:12,580 --> 00:28:09,710 each person or soul coordinates with a 614 00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:12,590 star in the sky and the deck contains 615 00:28:16,570 --> 00:28:14,240 references to a star 616 00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:16,580 caput angle I guess is how it's right 617 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:18,470 something I've held oh yeah that's a 618 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:20,090 star I've never really here talked about 619 00:28:23,470 --> 00:28:21,370 what do we know about this stars 620 00:28:26,380 --> 00:28:23,480 attributed characteristics what are the 621 00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:26,390 references to this star mean to you it's 622 00:28:35,970 --> 00:28:32,080 the most malefic star in the sky 623 00:28:39,870 --> 00:28:35,980 Barn on so if you want to do the 624 00:28:42,180 --> 00:28:39,880 heaviest kind of sorcery imaginable this 625 00:28:45,779 --> 00:28:42,190 is definitely one of the ingredients the 626 00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:45,789 energies of this particular star that's 627 00:28:52,289 --> 00:28:47,740 why it's there that's why it's kind of 628 00:28:57,450 --> 00:28:52,299 highlighted in the deck hmm it's part of 629 00:29:00,269 --> 00:28:57,460 a brew a dark room well said and and 630 00:29:03,899 --> 00:29:00,279 because it's a fixed star whatever 631 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:03,909 malefic intention you have its energy 632 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:07,450 will tend to fix it in place and prolong 633 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:11,529 its activity hmm and that's why the fig 634 00:29:16,379 --> 00:29:13,570 the fixed stars are important for that 635 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:16,389 and a malefic fixed star kinda has the 636 00:29:22,049 --> 00:29:19,330 double action of adding to the dark brew 637 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:22,059 whilst maintaining its pervasiveness its 638 00:29:29,070 --> 00:29:24,730 its influence its effect on people 639 00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:29,080 mm-hmm but I want to perhaps it's just 640 00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:32,620 worthwhile contextualizing what we said 641 00:29:37,710 --> 00:29:33,460 up to now 642 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:37,720 Greg those recent ethnographic work has 643 00:29:44,690 --> 00:29:41,049 identified and opened out a phenomena 644 00:29:47,009 --> 00:29:44,700 called dark shamanism and for years now 645 00:29:49,139 --> 00:29:47,019 people especially in the West have been 646 00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:49,149 looking towards shamanism as this 647 00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:51,700 liberating force you know is this 648 00:29:56,820 --> 00:29:54,159 ecologically conscious and on all these 649 00:29:59,240 --> 00:29:56,830 good things and we've kind of neglected 650 00:30:02,090 --> 00:29:59,250 the fact that there is a complementary 651 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:02,100 shamanism which is correctly 652 00:30:06,810 --> 00:30:05,200 characterized as dark shamanism and but 653 00:30:08,490 --> 00:30:06,820 those who want to follow this up there's 654 00:30:11,490 --> 00:30:08,500 an excellent collection of academic 655 00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:11,500 essays called in darkness and secrecy by 656 00:30:16,649 --> 00:30:14,190 Whitehead and right and it very much 657 00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:16,659 concentrates on dark shamanism within 658 00:30:20,430 --> 00:30:19,809 the amazon area but the core of this is 659 00:30:24,259 --> 00:30:20,440 assault 660 00:30:27,149 --> 00:30:24,269 sorcery and a kind of cosmological 661 00:30:31,620 --> 00:30:27,159 construct we can perhaps best described 662 00:30:33,870 --> 00:30:31,630 as a cosmology of predation and the core 663 00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:33,880 of this is that the shaman opens 664 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:37,230 themselves to possession by the most 665 00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:39,250 powerful 666 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:41,590 three entity 667 00:30:47,820 --> 00:30:45,250 that they can summon and in that form 668 00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:47,830 they either can go out of body to wreak 669 00:30:54,029 --> 00:30:50,529 havoc or they can command lesser 670 00:30:56,810 --> 00:30:54,039 entities to do their bidding okay so 671 00:31:00,180 --> 00:30:56,820 this is a core ethnographic construct 672 00:31:02,970 --> 00:31:00,190 now the strange thing is that when we 673 00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:02,980 look at the card specifically one card 674 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:07,000 called ko it shows a monk with dragon 675 00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:10,570 wings okay and within the sequence of 676 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:13,630 ritual cards within the deck you see a 677 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:16,690 series that are intended to induce 678 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:21,010 possession by a draconian entity and 679 00:31:27,899 --> 00:31:24,370 that card it AO actually depicts the 680 00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:27,909 monk totally possessed by the entity so 681 00:31:32,909 --> 00:31:30,190 when there's different grades of 682 00:31:35,610 --> 00:31:32,919 possession of course you know you can 683 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:35,620 have a whole variety but complete 684 00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:37,330 possession means the total displacement 685 00:31:44,310 --> 00:31:40,630 of the persona the person will have no 686 00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:44,320 memory whatsoever post of what they've 687 00:31:51,389 --> 00:31:47,529 done of what happened the possession is 688 00:31:54,529 --> 00:31:51,399 complete hmm okay so in the context of 689 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:54,539 dark shamanism we're seeing a 690 00:31:59,940 --> 00:31:57,250 ethnographically attested process 691 00:32:02,580 --> 00:31:59,950 whereby dark shaman opened themselves to 692 00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:02,590 possession by these predatory entities 693 00:32:08,730 --> 00:32:05,950 and then use that power so to speak to 694 00:32:11,990 --> 00:32:08,740 wreak havoc of water whatever kind they 695 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:12,000 intend to do hmm so that construct 696 00:32:19,139 --> 00:32:15,130 perfectly fits the imagery that we're 697 00:32:22,919 --> 00:32:19,149 dealing with and the kind of uses that 698 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:22,929 this Renaissance elite would have yes 699 00:32:27,299 --> 00:32:25,690 it's quite amazing and you know there's 700 00:32:30,269 --> 00:32:27,309 a lot of people even today we hear 701 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:30,279 little nuggets of wisdom dropped by 702 00:32:35,580 --> 00:32:33,490 those who have kind of touched the 703 00:32:37,529 --> 00:32:35,590 fringes of elite circles or worked in 704 00:32:39,659 --> 00:32:37,539 certain industries like banking or 705 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:39,669 politics at high levels and they come 706 00:32:43,710 --> 00:32:42,010 out and say you know these people are 707 00:32:45,389 --> 00:32:43,720 possessed and you're like you know you 708 00:32:47,549 --> 00:32:45,399 don't think of that literally but that's 709 00:32:50,370 --> 00:32:47,559 a term that is thrown around quite often 710 00:32:52,649 --> 00:32:50,380 when describing the way these people act 711 00:32:55,470 --> 00:32:52,659 and the way it is to the way it feels to 712 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:55,480 be around them exactly and this is it 713 00:33:01,310 --> 00:32:57,610 now if we can only start connecting our 714 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:01,320 you know ethnographic and historical 715 00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:04,090 information to the current situation we 716 00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:05,860 can begin to illuminate some of these 717 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:08,289 things for the first time they start to 718 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:10,450 make sense when you contextualize them 719 00:33:14,970 --> 00:33:12,010 but you've got to get the right 720 00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:14,980 background in place in order to do that 721 00:33:20,659 --> 00:33:18,399 absolutely and you know another element 722 00:33:24,090 --> 00:33:20,669 of that background is you say that the 723 00:33:26,250 --> 00:33:24,100 deste worldview entirely explains the 724 00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:26,260 magically oriented motivations of the 725 00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:29,350 decks design and use and DSA is a name 726 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:31,270 that comes up a lot in your book I don't 727 00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:33,760 hear it all that often outside of your 728 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:36,990 book but tell us about that family and 729 00:33:45,870 --> 00:33:43,330 their connection to this deck yeah they 730 00:33:48,990 --> 00:33:45,880 kind of emerge out of obscurity in the 731 00:33:51,060 --> 00:33:49,000 you know 10th century or so and thus 732 00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:51,070 various branches of this family and 733 00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:53,470 you're right they're obscure I certainly 734 00:33:57,139 --> 00:33:56,320 didn't have any particular awareness of 735 00:34:00,139 --> 00:33:57,149 them when I 736 00:34:02,029 --> 00:34:00,149 out of this project but they in Italy 737 00:34:04,940 --> 00:34:02,039 they came to be the rulers are of the 738 00:34:07,609 --> 00:34:04,950 city-state of Ferrara and we're closely 739 00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:07,619 allied with Venice and it's within that 740 00:34:12,799 --> 00:34:09,929 context that the deck was designed had 741 00:34:15,700 --> 00:34:12,809 created now it turns out that the 742 00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:15,710 Italian branch is a cadet branch of the 743 00:34:24,019 --> 00:34:18,409 larger family in the austro-hungarian 744 00:34:26,649 --> 00:34:24,029 area the the Guelph esday and the other 745 00:34:32,899 --> 00:34:26,659 cadet branch of this family are the 746 00:34:35,899 --> 00:34:32,909 Hanoverian monarchs so let me put this 747 00:34:39,769 --> 00:34:35,909 in a historical context I think 748 00:34:42,789 --> 00:34:39,779 something like 17th century married este 749 00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:42,799 of Modena married the Duke of York and 750 00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:45,119 when he ascended to the throne of 751 00:34:52,339 --> 00:34:48,960 England she became queen of England okay 752 00:34:55,129 --> 00:34:52,349 and it was a short-lived monarchy but 753 00:34:57,940 --> 00:34:55,139 then there was an interregnum and then 754 00:35:01,400 --> 00:34:57,950 the Hanoverian monarchs took over and 755 00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:01,410 this is George the 1st 2nd 3rd all of 756 00:35:04,940 --> 00:35:02,190 these people 757 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:04,950 now we're talking about an arc of 758 00:35:12,970 --> 00:35:09,690 history which leads from supremacy in 759 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:12,980 the Renaissance for about 300 years and 760 00:35:20,180 --> 00:35:17,970 then kind of switches saddles okay just 761 00:35:24,319 --> 00:35:20,190 in time to catch the rise of the British 762 00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:24,329 Empire hmm and at the end of that the 763 00:35:31,309 --> 00:35:27,569 tail end of that catches the start of 764 00:35:34,130 --> 00:35:31,319 the USA right and so the implication 765 00:35:35,839 --> 00:35:34,140 there is that there's maybe a network 766 00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:35,849 working within groups it doesn't have 767 00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:37,710 the same allegiances as we might think 768 00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:41,369 and you know when one Empire declines in 769 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:43,980 another rises some of these figures or 770 00:35:48,319 --> 00:35:45,359 what we might call the Brotherhood of 771 00:35:50,930 --> 00:35:48,329 Saturn they seem to emerge in these new 772 00:35:54,740 --> 00:35:50,940 empires as well as the collapsing ones 773 00:35:56,359 --> 00:35:54,750 yeah so you have to put all the points 774 00:35:59,120 --> 00:35:56,369 of view together you have to pile them 775 00:36:01,730 --> 00:35:59,130 all together to make sense of these kind 776 00:36:05,059 --> 00:36:01,740 of patterns because they historically 777 00:36:08,799 --> 00:36:05,069 there so long lived and this takes us 778 00:36:11,510 --> 00:36:08,809 right back to Byzantium again where this 779 00:36:14,970 --> 00:36:11,520 pagan philosopher who 780 00:36:18,630 --> 00:36:14,980 introduce these ideas to Italy had a 781 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:18,640 pagan school which taught theurgy which 782 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:22,450 taught ritual magic and was completely a 783 00:36:30,650 --> 00:36:26,770 pagan entity okay so what I'm saying is 784 00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:30,660 there's a tradition of a ritual praxis 785 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:34,870 that was invented God knows when was 786 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:37,930 alive and well in 15th century Byzantium 787 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:40,930 and is now captured within these cards 788 00:36:47,010 --> 00:36:45,010 and carried forward and again how come 789 00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:47,020 we have these cards where have they been 790 00:36:54,270 --> 00:36:51,430 for 300 years there's a mystery yes but 791 00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:54,280 they surface now we can't open them out 792 00:37:00,180 --> 00:36:55,990 now and this is the story they're 793 00:37:03,330 --> 00:37:00,190 telling us it is amazing and that is one 794 00:37:05,730 --> 00:37:03,340 of my questions for you is what other 795 00:37:07,650 --> 00:37:05,740 insights can we get from kind of tracing 796 00:37:09,150 --> 00:37:07,660 that Chain of Custody I mean I know we 797 00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:09,160 know the early steps and we obviously 798 00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:12,340 know where it ended up in Milan but are 799 00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:15,040 there other nodes or bullet points on 800 00:37:20,370 --> 00:37:17,110 that chain of custody that you find kind 801 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:20,380 of curious or interesting I'm really at 802 00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:23,170 a loss to fill in the gaps it's 803 00:37:28,620 --> 00:37:25,680 completely conjectural mm-hmm and 804 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:28,630 there's like 300 years where the deck is 805 00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:31,050 just invisible I mean it just disappears 806 00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:34,000 based on certain marks I mean the deck 807 00:37:39,690 --> 00:37:36,190 was engraved right and then they printed 808 00:37:43,620 --> 00:37:39,700 the sheets and then one set of sheets 809 00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:43,630 were painted and delivered to person 810 00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:45,820 called marrinson udo in Venetian 811 00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:49,360 patrician and the curious thing about 812 00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:51,910 the marks that were placed on the deck 813 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:55,060 is that it identifies him it identifies 814 00:37:59,070 --> 00:37:57,370 the fact that he was gay and it 815 00:38:02,840 --> 00:37:59,080 identifies the fact that almost 816 00:38:06,780 --> 00:38:02,850 certainly the fairies were able to 817 00:38:11,070 --> 00:38:06,790 manipulate him suborn him into betraying 818 00:38:14,580 --> 00:38:11,080 Venice mm-hmm so that the deck is like a 819 00:38:17,580 --> 00:38:14,590 payoff in a very important operation 820 00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:17,590 that Ferrara ran against Venice and it's 821 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:20,110 also a reminder to him that at any time 822 00:38:25,410 --> 00:38:23,290 if he opens his mouth or stops 823 00:38:28,410 --> 00:38:25,420 cooperating they've got enough 824 00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:28,420 to see him burn at the stake hmm so 825 00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:30,640 there's that level of historical 826 00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:33,670 interpretation now again marrinson udo 827 00:38:38,730 --> 00:38:35,680 who was he who wear it well his mother's 828 00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:38,740 family the venire family and the venue's 829 00:38:44,730 --> 00:38:41,200 claimed to be descendants of the emperor 830 00:38:46,799 --> 00:38:44,740 valerian okay and then you check out the 831 00:38:50,089 --> 00:38:46,809 emperor valerian and it turns out he is 832 00:38:54,359 --> 00:38:50,099 one of the child's sacrificing emperors 833 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:54,369 of late rome nice he was notorious for 834 00:38:59,339 --> 00:38:57,490 it yeah and that brings you back again 835 00:39:01,859 --> 00:38:59,349 to the card in the deck showing the 836 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:01,869 child over the fire what the heck is 837 00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:05,920 going on here hmm there's a disturbing 838 00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:08,230 aspect of this in in respect of the fact 839 00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:10,270 that all of the court cards the named 840 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:13,510 court cards nine of them all have one 841 00:39:20,220 --> 00:39:16,690 thing in common they depict figures 842 00:39:23,069 --> 00:39:20,230 related to the conception of Alexander 843 00:39:25,289 --> 00:39:23,079 the Great not to anything Alexander the 844 00:39:27,089 --> 00:39:25,299 Great actually did mm-hmm you know which 845 00:39:30,569 --> 00:39:27,099 is what most people are interested in 846 00:39:32,940 --> 00:39:30,579 but to his conception and when you look 847 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:32,950 into the Alexander romance literature 848 00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:35,530 there's one characteristic about his 849 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:38,710 conception that stands out his mother's 850 00:39:45,289 --> 00:39:42,490 intercourse with Baal Hammon hmm so that 851 00:39:47,940 --> 00:39:45,299 Alexander is like a demigod you know and 852 00:39:50,789 --> 00:39:47,950 again this is one of the connections 853 00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:50,799 that deeply woven into the texture of 854 00:39:55,250 --> 00:39:52,720 the decks imagery and symbolism 855 00:39:59,370 --> 00:39:55,260 you know connects Saturn Kronus the 856 00:40:02,819 --> 00:39:59,380 draconian force and the Carthaginian God 857 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:02,829 Baal ha manos known for one thing a one 858 00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:05,290 thing alone this is the sacrifice of 859 00:40:10,109 --> 00:40:07,750 small children milk it was called and 860 00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:10,119 it's from that word moat that we get the 861 00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:14,380 name Maliki in the Bible Wow so we have 862 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:17,049 these blind spots in the chain of 863 00:40:22,109 --> 00:40:19,450 custody of the deck can you maybe tell 864 00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:22,119 us how it got out of private hands and 865 00:40:27,299 --> 00:40:24,270 into the public sphere into a museum 866 00:40:29,730 --> 00:40:27,309 well let me just kind of touch on 867 00:40:32,910 --> 00:40:29,740 whatever I do know which is very little 868 00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:32,920 so who won't take long marrinson udo 869 00:40:38,670 --> 00:40:35,470 died in venice in the early 16th century 870 00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:38,680 and all his effects were auctioned at 871 00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:39,609 that 872 00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:43,390 now there's a jump of like two or three 873 00:40:50,069 --> 00:40:46,660 hundred years to a Milanese family the 874 00:40:51,959 --> 00:40:50,079 Marquise a sir Bologna as far as I can 875 00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:51,969 tell there's only one connection between 876 00:40:57,059 --> 00:40:54,400 the sir Bellini and the Venice of the 877 00:40:59,400 --> 00:40:57,069 16th century it was one of the early 878 00:41:02,009 --> 00:40:59,410 members of sir Bellini family two 879 00:41:04,109 --> 00:41:02,019 brothers in fact one became Pope the 880 00:41:08,370 --> 00:41:04,119 other became a notorious brigand and 881 00:41:11,729 --> 00:41:08,380 then got promoted as a hitman for 882 00:41:14,910 --> 00:41:11,739 Francesco Sforza so you know he was 883 00:41:17,819 --> 00:41:14,920 plying his trade and obviously got into 884 00:41:19,739 --> 00:41:17,829 trouble and had to escape and then he's 885 00:41:22,289 --> 00:41:19,749 documented in various parts of Europe 886 00:41:24,690 --> 00:41:22,299 you know no doubt further enhancing his 887 00:41:29,219 --> 00:41:24,700 skillset and at some point in the course 888 00:41:34,049 --> 00:41:29,229 of that he got special recognition from 889 00:41:36,479 --> 00:41:34,059 Venice for services rendered I I don't 890 00:41:40,650 --> 00:41:36,489 want to speculate on what they may have 891 00:41:42,359 --> 00:41:40,660 been but it kind of enabled him Wow so 892 00:41:44,609 --> 00:41:42,369 that's the one connect and he would have 893 00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:44,619 been in Venice about the time that the 894 00:41:50,579 --> 00:41:47,140 deck came on the market was auctioned 895 00:41:53,219 --> 00:41:50,589 and as I say the next thing is the deck 896 00:41:57,150 --> 00:41:53,229 turns up in the hands of the Marquis 897 00:42:00,170 --> 00:41:57,160 asura Bologna dated about 1830 there's 898 00:42:02,609 --> 00:42:00,180 an antiquarian count chicken ARA who 899 00:42:04,289 --> 00:42:02,619 examined the cards at that point and 900 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:04,299 saying they were in the hands of the 901 00:42:10,559 --> 00:42:08,170 marquis a sur balloon and rolling 902 00:42:14,219 --> 00:42:10,569 forward from that point a set of these 903 00:42:16,199 --> 00:42:14,229 cards were sent photographic images of 904 00:42:21,299 --> 00:42:16,209 the cars were set to the British Museum 905 00:42:23,819 --> 00:42:21,309 and in 1909 I think and put on display 906 00:42:27,209 --> 00:42:23,829 there where Pamela Coleman Smith the 907 00:42:29,849 --> 00:42:27,219 designer of the popular wait Smith tarot 908 00:42:32,249 --> 00:42:29,859 deck would have seen them and its 909 00:42:34,769 --> 00:42:32,259 aspects of their imagery which you now 910 00:42:38,809 --> 00:42:34,779 find in pretty well every tarot deck in 911 00:42:42,569 --> 00:42:38,819 world today so kind of unconsciously 912 00:42:46,109 --> 00:42:42,579 propagated the imagery solar busker into 913 00:42:48,359 --> 00:42:46,119 pretty well everybody's tarot deck and 914 00:42:50,699 --> 00:42:48,369 that seems to be how magic works right I 915 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:50,709 mean these influences the power in them 916 00:42:55,230 --> 00:42:53,170 they seem to kind of 917 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:55,240 out kind of spiderweb out even if it's 918 00:42:59,819 --> 00:42:56,890 not obvious on the surface that's kind 919 00:43:01,799 --> 00:42:59,829 of an interesting aspect I think again 920 00:43:05,309 --> 00:43:01,809 you know from an esoteric point of view 921 00:43:08,609 --> 00:43:05,319 we have to recognize that when we talk 922 00:43:10,849 --> 00:43:08,619 about these energies or powers that are 923 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:10,859 the subject of esoteric work 924 00:43:17,130 --> 00:43:13,930 don't many people talk about agency in 925 00:43:18,750 --> 00:43:17,140 that context you know most of us think 926 00:43:21,210 --> 00:43:18,760 of energy is like the light switch you 927 00:43:24,660 --> 00:43:21,220 switch it on you switch it off you know 928 00:43:26,549 --> 00:43:24,670 it has rules it Basel rules but in an 929 00:43:28,650 --> 00:43:26,559 asterick sense these energies have 930 00:43:31,620 --> 00:43:28,660 agency they're pretty well like you or 931 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:31,630 me in many respects and that is the way 932 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:34,930 in which the energies behind the deck 933 00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:36,970 would have been interpreted in the 15th 934 00:43:44,099 --> 00:43:40,470 century hmm okay it's it's not some 935 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:44,109 background buzz of energy right it's an 936 00:43:50,549 --> 00:43:48,970 agency work okay so and that makes all 937 00:43:53,370 --> 00:43:50,559 the difference if you start 938 00:43:56,549 --> 00:43:53,380 conceptualizing those energies working 939 00:44:00,089 --> 00:43:56,559 through history in terms of agency then 940 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:00,099 you have to rethink a lot of stuff no 941 00:44:08,059 --> 00:44:05,170 doubt man so just to follow up with the 942 00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:08,069 the lineage of the cards what's the end 943 00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:10,960 bookend for the path these cards have 944 00:44:20,940 --> 00:44:16,720 taken okay so around 1988 or so a German 945 00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:20,950 or Austrian terrorist got permission to 946 00:44:29,190 --> 00:44:22,710 photograph the cars and he made a 947 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:29,200 reproduction deck and then what 2009 or 948 00:44:34,530 --> 00:44:32,770 so the Italian state stepped in Italian 949 00:44:38,190 --> 00:44:34,540 Ministry of Culture stepped in and 950 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:38,200 bought the entire deck I believe from 951 00:44:42,299 --> 00:44:39,970 the descendants of the sir Bellini 952 00:44:44,970 --> 00:44:42,309 family although that is never stated I 953 00:44:47,849 --> 00:44:44,980 believe that that's and they bought it 954 00:44:51,630 --> 00:44:47,859 for eight hundred thousand euro and it's 955 00:44:53,010 --> 00:44:51,640 now in the brewer gallery in Milan it's 956 00:44:56,370 --> 00:44:53,020 held there hmm 957 00:44:58,859 --> 00:44:56,380 okay and our imagery in the book and as 958 00:45:01,620 --> 00:44:58,869 you know the Scarlet imprint are about 959 00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:01,630 to start shipping a reproduction perfect 960 00:45:06,059 --> 00:45:04,240 reproduction of this deck the imagery 961 00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:06,069 has been provided by the Brera gallery 962 00:45:17,620 --> 00:45:06,880 to 963 00:45:19,959 --> 00:45:17,630 this evidence of a continuity of elite 964 00:45:21,749 --> 00:45:19,969 power and a consistency of occult 965 00:45:23,769 --> 00:45:21,759 beliefs among their ranks is 966 00:45:26,319 --> 00:45:23,779 mind-blowing it's really like what a 967 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:26,329 conspiracy enthusiast has been looking 968 00:45:32,259 --> 00:45:29,930 for for a long long time yeah I think 969 00:45:35,259 --> 00:45:32,269 you got to get into the mindset not just 970 00:45:38,049 --> 00:45:35,269 of the elite but of what I call hardcore 971 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:38,059 esotericism to get this stuff you know 972 00:45:43,390 --> 00:45:41,450 yes and on that subject 973 00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:43,400 you know you mentioned platonism a 974 00:45:47,499 --> 00:45:45,710 little bit everybody knows Plato by name 975 00:45:50,589 --> 00:45:47,509 but it's really interesting because you 976 00:45:54,009 --> 00:45:50,599 talk about his philosophy really does 977 00:45:56,499 --> 00:45:54,019 have kind of a linkage to empowering the 978 00:45:58,509 --> 00:45:56,509 elite or justifying the elites power and 979 00:46:00,370 --> 00:45:58,519 that thread isn't usually highlighted 980 00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:00,380 when you're discussing Plato and his 981 00:46:05,170 --> 00:46:02,569 philosophy but that might be why he is 982 00:46:06,700 --> 00:46:05,180 such a household name and why he's gonna 983 00:46:07,779 --> 00:46:06,710 been held in such high regard it's 984 00:46:11,380 --> 00:46:07,789 because as far as the elite are 985 00:46:13,450 --> 00:46:11,390 concerned he provides a basis for why 986 00:46:15,999 --> 00:46:13,460 they are at the top and we're at the 987 00:46:19,779 --> 00:46:16,009 bottom yeah I think the whole way in 988 00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:19,789 which Plato's workers being handled or 989 00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:22,609 treated and certainly by educational 990 00:46:27,039 --> 00:46:24,710 institutions as varied enormous Lee 991 00:46:30,549 --> 00:46:27,049 there's like you know before the church 992 00:46:34,029 --> 00:46:30,559 and after the church you know so in the 993 00:46:36,999 --> 00:46:34,039 ancient world plato's teachings were 994 00:46:38,709 --> 00:46:37,009 from a very early date you know he has 995 00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:38,719 all these dialogues they must be worth 996 00:46:44,979 --> 00:46:42,049 30 40 dialogues people were coming up 997 00:46:48,339 --> 00:46:44,989 for ideal sequences in which to study 998 00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:48,349 these dialogues okay but they always 999 00:46:53,219 --> 00:46:51,049 started with the same dialogue alka by 1000 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:53,229 Hadees now why is that 1001 00:47:01,539 --> 00:46:56,450 alka by Hadees deals with one thing only 1002 00:47:05,079 --> 00:47:01,549 and that is Alchemy's is a very rich kid 1003 00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:05,089 who his parents have died he doesn't 1004 00:47:10,749 --> 00:47:08,089 actually have a clear sense of what's 1005 00:47:12,999 --> 00:47:10,759 what but he wants to make his mark on 1006 00:47:15,069 --> 00:47:13,009 society and because of his wealth he's 1007 00:47:18,309 --> 00:47:15,079 going to enter the political process in 1008 00:47:20,590 --> 00:47:18,319 Athens okay so that that's the scenario 1009 00:47:25,570 --> 00:47:20,600 that Alka by ADIZ the dialogue set 1010 00:47:27,730 --> 00:47:25,580 for us in his discourse or his dialogue 1011 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:27,740 with Socrates Socrates is attempting to 1012 00:47:32,980 --> 00:47:29,330 say to him you're looking for 1013 00:47:37,630 --> 00:47:32,990 self-aggrandizement but what about 1014 00:47:40,870 --> 00:47:37,640 service okay so the whole theme of the 1015 00:47:43,180 --> 00:47:40,880 Platonic dialogues if they touch on many 1016 00:47:45,220 --> 00:47:43,190 things you know ethics theory of 1017 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:45,230 knowledge you name it but ultimately 1018 00:47:51,970 --> 00:47:48,890 it's how can an elite governor society 1019 00:47:55,630 --> 00:47:51,980 justly this is the core issue of Platon 1020 00:47:59,350 --> 00:47:55,640 ISM and in order to be able to justly 1021 00:48:02,110 --> 00:47:59,360 run a society you have to be entitled to 1022 00:48:04,570 --> 00:48:02,120 do so you have to be totally selfless 1023 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:04,580 blah blah blah okay and part of that 1024 00:48:09,700 --> 00:48:07,130 play those recommendations is that the 1025 00:48:10,180 --> 00:48:09,710 elite should sacrifice all wealth and 1026 00:48:12,460 --> 00:48:10,190 power 1027 00:48:15,610 --> 00:48:12,470 they shouldn't hold any property for 1028 00:48:17,890 --> 00:48:15,620 instance no money they shouldn't inherit 1029 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:17,900 anything they have to be solely 1030 00:48:23,110 --> 00:48:20,570 dedicated to justice and part of 1031 00:48:26,859 --> 00:48:23,120 becoming just is to become enlightened 1032 00:48:29,359 --> 00:48:26,869 in your person 1033 00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:29,369 selfless and enlightened this is the 1034 00:48:35,950 --> 00:48:33,270 Platonic ideal for the elite now you can 1035 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:35,960 see how far away we are from absolutely 1036 00:48:42,250 --> 00:48:39,210 getting anywhere near that but that was 1037 00:48:46,670 --> 00:48:42,260 the inspiration there and in order to 1038 00:48:48,020 --> 00:48:46,680 project that kind of justice forward 1039 00:48:51,260 --> 00:48:48,030 through the generations 1040 00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:51,270 Plato elaborated the system of medicine 1041 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:55,380 kosis and spiritual internal growth so 1042 00:49:00,890 --> 00:48:57,450 that you know within the Platonic 1043 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:00,900 tradition he had this phrase li ye pep 1044 00:49:05,950 --> 00:49:03,090 artis monoi thee the illumined ones 1045 00:49:08,210 --> 00:49:05,960 people would actually seek to become 1046 00:49:12,410 --> 00:49:08,220 illumined in their inner nature and 1047 00:49:15,740 --> 00:49:12,420 therefore capable of dealing justly hmm 1048 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:15,750 out of their very essence and because 1049 00:49:20,810 --> 00:49:17,850 they don't have these family ties these 1050 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:20,820 wealth this property haha they just do 1051 00:49:27,470 --> 00:49:24,090 what's right okay this was the Platonic 1052 00:49:30,380 --> 00:49:27,480 ideal now the etheric aspects of that is 1053 00:49:32,450 --> 00:49:30,390 that such an illumined elite would also 1054 00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:32,460 have the highest connection with the 1055 00:49:38,090 --> 00:49:35,040 deities and so on so they would drive 1056 00:49:40,910 --> 00:49:38,100 the process of subsequent as a psychosis 1057 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:40,920 of rebirth if you like mm-hmm okay 1058 00:49:45,859 --> 00:49:42,890 so it become a self-perpetuating 1059 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:45,869 mechanism now somewhere along the line 1060 00:49:53,090 --> 00:49:50,490 Gregg this idea of dropping wealth 1061 00:49:56,750 --> 00:49:53,100 property and family ties and not having 1062 00:50:02,090 --> 00:49:56,760 them to influence your justice got lost 1063 00:50:05,420 --> 00:50:02,100 I'd say so and I think it got lost very 1064 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:05,430 early in human history so we're living 1065 00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:08,970 essentially with a dark platon ism it 1066 00:50:13,310 --> 00:50:11,250 was not intended I mean as far as 1067 00:50:16,910 --> 00:50:13,320 Plato's Timaeus is concerned the 1068 00:50:21,170 --> 00:50:16,920 Demiurge is a a deity who is filled with 1069 00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:21,180 light he's not a dark entity at all huh 1070 00:50:26,510 --> 00:50:23,730 he looks towards the source you know of 1071 00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:26,520 everything Plato called it the good is 1072 00:50:32,150 --> 00:50:29,369 it's like an impersonal refulgent source 1073 00:50:34,970 --> 00:50:32,160 and it's filled with the beauty of that 1074 00:50:38,070 --> 00:50:34,980 and turns and then creates after the 1075 00:50:41,450 --> 00:50:38,080 manner of that now 1076 00:50:44,310 --> 00:50:41,460 this is like 4th 5th century BCE and 1077 00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:44,320 then by the time we get to the first and 1078 00:50:51,210 --> 00:50:47,830 second centuries BCE and the 1st and 2nd 1079 00:50:53,910 --> 00:50:51,220 century CE II this Demiurge is now 1080 00:50:56,310 --> 00:50:53,920 flipped over hmm 1081 00:50:59,160 --> 00:50:56,320 he's become a dark entity ignorant 1082 00:51:02,130 --> 00:50:59,170 entity that refuses to acknowledge the 1083 00:51:05,340 --> 00:51:02,140 source of his own power and thinks that 1084 00:51:07,830 --> 00:51:05,350 he is the ultimate in terms of 1085 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:07,840 creativity everything is beholden to him 1086 00:51:13,650 --> 00:51:11,410 and everything is owed to him and this 1087 00:51:17,460 --> 00:51:13,660 darkening of the figure of the Demiurge 1088 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:17,470 is a historical fact which I don't think 1089 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:20,290 anyone has given an explanation of yeah 1090 00:51:25,860 --> 00:51:23,650 it's very curious it's absolutely 1091 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:25,870 central to the understanding of how 1092 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:29,170 things got flipped over because from 1093 00:51:34,290 --> 00:51:31,210 this point on you know you have the 1094 00:51:36,420 --> 00:51:34,300 Gnostic cosmologies all identify a dark 1095 00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:36,430 Demiurge and the need to liberate 1096 00:51:43,070 --> 00:51:39,280 yourself from him and therefore that 1097 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:43,080 gives rise to a dark Gnosticism which is 1098 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:45,930 acknowledging the dark Demiurge and 1099 00:51:52,830 --> 00:51:50,290 working with him ok right but this is a 1100 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:52,840 historical phenomenon it's it was 1101 00:51:58,140 --> 00:51:54,730 certainly never like that in the 1102 00:51:59,700 --> 00:51:58,150 original platonic writing I can't say 1103 00:52:03,630 --> 00:51:59,710 one thing though and maybe this will 1104 00:52:05,699 --> 00:52:03,640 help to contextualize it is that 1105 00:52:08,069 --> 00:52:05,709 we can't just look at play-doh or we 1106 00:52:11,729 --> 00:52:08,079 cannot just look at office you know 1107 00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:11,739 there's a whole range of theories like 1108 00:52:14,729 --> 00:52:13,150 Hesiod's Theogony 1109 00:52:18,059 --> 00:52:14,739 you know the birth of all the different 1110 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:18,069 gods and throughout the Mediterranean 1111 00:52:24,509 --> 00:52:19,690 Basin you have a lot of different 1112 00:52:28,279 --> 00:52:24,519 creation stories okay so you get a very 1113 00:52:30,539 --> 00:52:28,289 mixed bowl of starting points and 1114 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:30,549 depending on the starting point you take 1115 00:52:38,130 --> 00:52:35,410 you end up in a different place now for 1116 00:52:40,289 --> 00:52:38,140 the Renaissance elite their key 1117 00:52:43,499 --> 00:52:40,299 influencer if I'm right it was was 1118 00:52:47,309 --> 00:52:43,509 George Jim is just better known as Plato 1119 00:52:50,359 --> 00:52:47,319 mm-hm and his conception was there he 1120 00:52:52,949 --> 00:52:50,369 took a classical Greek or Hellenistic 1121 00:52:55,349 --> 00:52:52,959 Theogony he says there's you know 1122 00:52:58,680 --> 00:52:55,359 absolute three entities you know like 1123 00:53:02,430 --> 00:52:58,690 Azusa Poseidon and and he said her karta 1124 00:53:06,089 --> 00:53:02,440 and beneath them you have a set of 1125 00:53:08,999 --> 00:53:06,099 celestial deities and a set of cathartic 1126 00:53:11,839 --> 00:53:09,009 deities and the cathartic deities are 1127 00:53:15,989 --> 00:53:11,849 ruled by Saturn and they run the planets 1128 00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:15,999 okay they run this planet mm-hmm so his 1129 00:53:23,180 --> 00:53:19,359 Theogony again is is a little different 1130 00:53:26,549 --> 00:53:23,190 from what plato and originally set out 1131 00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:26,559 but it does put just towards the primacy 1132 00:53:31,650 --> 00:53:29,920 of Saturn in the world view okay and 1133 00:53:34,589 --> 00:53:31,660 that's why I take place on earth like 1134 00:53:36,900 --> 00:53:34,599 the stepping off point from ancient 1135 00:53:38,699 --> 00:53:36,910 tradition into this what we call the 1136 00:53:41,459 --> 00:53:38,709 modern world pre-modern world of the 1137 00:53:45,180 --> 00:53:41,469 Renaissance and that's why Saturn 1138 00:53:49,499 --> 00:53:45,190 features so highly with in subsequent 1139 00:53:52,049 --> 00:53:49,509 modern history I think mm-hmm it's so 1140 00:53:55,789 --> 00:53:52,059 hard to get a real sense of why that 1141 00:53:59,189 --> 00:53:55,799 polar opposite view would be taken on 1142 00:54:01,949 --> 00:53:59,199 the Demiurge or just to say the creator 1143 00:54:03,209 --> 00:54:01,959 of the material world like it's also 1144 00:54:05,939 --> 00:54:03,219 just hard to wrap your head around 1145 00:54:08,309 --> 00:54:05,949 because this is an entity that today 1146 00:54:10,319 --> 00:54:08,319 it's like we can't really see we feel 1147 00:54:11,789 --> 00:54:10,329 like we can't see it or we feel like we 1148 00:54:14,219 --> 00:54:11,799 can't really get a handle on something 1149 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:14,229 that's so outside of our self but they 1150 00:54:18,780 --> 00:54:17,170 seemed to find some clues to kind 1151 00:54:21,539 --> 00:54:18,790 draw conclusions honor to build a 1152 00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:21,549 personality profile back in the day and 1153 00:54:26,670 --> 00:54:23,680 then for it to go the complete polar 1154 00:54:30,690 --> 00:54:26,680 opposite way is just so curious it is 1155 00:54:33,140 --> 00:54:30,700 strange and again you know it's like the 1156 00:54:37,589 --> 00:54:33,150 answers are not gonna be found in 1157 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:37,599 digging through these Thea genies we 1158 00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:40,530 have to think about our own specific 1159 00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:45,250 situation now and what priorities we 1160 00:54:50,039 --> 00:54:47,920 have and what we have to work on I think 1161 00:54:53,339 --> 00:54:50,049 the issue is centrally a moral issue 1162 00:54:55,260 --> 00:54:53,349 that we're faced with today mm-hmm so 1163 00:54:58,170 --> 00:54:55,270 whether you accept the existence of a 1164 00:54:58,920 --> 00:54:58,180 Demiurge or not is kind of beside the 1165 00:55:02,670 --> 00:54:58,930 point 1166 00:55:05,789 --> 00:55:02,680 mmm the energies that people work on or 1167 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:05,799 with in practice are of a much lower 1168 00:55:13,109 --> 00:55:09,970 order so that what we're faced with is a 1169 00:55:15,859 --> 00:55:13,119 far more localized issue mm-hmm it's in 1170 00:55:18,539 --> 00:55:15,869 my perspective I see it as an 1171 00:55:21,660 --> 00:55:18,549 interdimensional penetration of this 1172 00:55:25,579 --> 00:55:21,670 reality by other realities Wow and are 1173 00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:25,589 the multitude multiple orders of beings 1174 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:30,730 okay so in a sense the issue is far more 1175 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:32,650 complicated but it's it's far less 1176 00:55:39,839 --> 00:55:37,210 theoretical so coming from background of 1177 00:55:42,569 --> 00:55:39,849 energy healing you tend to get the 1178 00:55:45,059 --> 00:55:42,579 extreme cases I mean it's like if you 1179 00:55:47,220 --> 00:55:45,069 work in the accident an emergency ward 1180 00:55:51,299 --> 00:55:47,230 Friday night huh okay Saturday night 1181 00:55:53,730 --> 00:55:51,309 you're going to see extreme cases and in 1182 00:55:56,730 --> 00:55:53,740 a sense energy healing also brings you 1183 00:55:59,609 --> 00:55:56,740 confront you with pretty extreme cases 1184 00:56:02,880 --> 00:55:59,619 and from that I draw the conclusion that 1185 00:56:07,609 --> 00:56:02,890 we have a say this interpenetration of 1186 00:56:10,530 --> 00:56:07,619 multiple dimensions and the crossover on 1187 00:56:13,859 --> 00:56:10,540 occasion of entities between these 1188 00:56:16,589 --> 00:56:13,869 dimensions hmm and I think the anchoring 1189 00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:16,599 is the fact that our the consciousness 1190 00:56:21,180 --> 00:56:19,390 is in my perspective a field you know 1191 00:56:24,359 --> 00:56:21,190 it's not a byproduct of your neural 1192 00:56:26,970 --> 00:56:24,369 activity right it's a feel like thing 1193 00:56:29,910 --> 00:56:26,980 which has a family context it has a 1194 00:56:31,350 --> 00:56:29,920 community it has a historical context 1195 00:56:33,110 --> 00:56:31,360 it's almost as though 1196 00:56:35,970 --> 00:56:33,120 everything thats ever thought or done 1197 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:35,980 coexists at the same time and that's the 1198 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:38,050 way we experience consciousness when we 1199 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:41,290 work with it in an energetic way I'm 1200 00:56:46,050 --> 00:56:43,570 thinking in terms of constellation 1201 00:56:48,150 --> 00:56:46,060 therapy of course mm-hmm you know you 1202 00:56:50,820 --> 00:56:48,160 get complete strangers in the middle of 1203 00:56:52,980 --> 00:56:50,830 the room you put them in some positions 1204 00:56:55,230 --> 00:56:52,990 to represent family members even if the 1205 00:56:58,140 --> 00:56:55,240 family members are dead gone a hundred 1206 00:56:59,790 --> 00:56:58,150 years ago doesn't matter those people 1207 00:57:02,040 --> 00:56:59,800 will start to manifest the thoughts 1208 00:57:04,050 --> 00:57:02,050 behavior and feelings of the people 1209 00:57:07,050 --> 00:57:04,060 they're representing even though they 1210 00:57:09,390 --> 00:57:07,060 know nothing about them so you know I 1211 00:57:11,130 --> 00:57:09,400 mean I would recommend anyone I go along 1212 00:57:13,110 --> 00:57:11,140 to half a dozen sessions of 1213 00:57:15,210 --> 00:57:13,120 constellation therapy and just try it 1214 00:57:18,950 --> 00:57:15,220 out it's gonna change your views of 1215 00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:18,960 reality faster than anything I know Wow 1216 00:57:24,900 --> 00:57:22,630 so other cases where we have one-on-one 1217 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:24,910 healing you know we have people who've 1218 00:57:29,460 --> 00:57:26,770 deceased coming through to help in the 1219 00:57:32,010 --> 00:57:29,470 healing process other times I've dealt 1220 00:57:34,410 --> 00:57:32,020 with very very very dangerous and 1221 00:57:38,430 --> 00:57:34,420 difficult entities that seem to horn 1222 00:57:43,100 --> 00:57:38,440 people Wow a very abusive relationship 1223 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:46,080 so yeah there's some very dark stuff 1224 00:57:51,090 --> 00:57:48,010 going on and there's some very bright 1225 00:57:54,630 --> 00:57:51,100 stuff as well you know the role of 1226 00:57:57,300 --> 00:57:54,640 higher order beings is not sufficiently 1227 00:58:00,420 --> 00:57:57,310 taken account of in my experience in 1228 00:58:02,820 --> 00:58:00,430 this conspiracy world mmm-hmm people are 1229 00:58:05,790 --> 00:58:02,830 very much focused on dark side which is 1230 00:58:08,310 --> 00:58:05,800 their there's no doubt about it it's 1231 00:58:12,210 --> 00:58:08,320 dangerous it's dark but it's not the 1232 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:12,220 whole story right and ability to cleanse 1233 00:58:15,660 --> 00:58:13,690 and purify yourself and make a 1234 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:15,670 connection with higher order beings is 1235 00:58:22,220 --> 00:58:19,330 always an option mm-hmm it's an option 1236 00:58:26,070 --> 00:58:22,230 everyone and it brings extraordinary 1237 00:58:28,890 --> 00:58:26,080 confidence and strength yeah I mean it 1238 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:28,900 sounds so interesting and it's something 1239 00:58:32,850 --> 00:58:30,490 I'd like to experience more and 1240 00:58:35,310 --> 00:58:32,860 experiment with more and it just seems 1241 00:58:37,050 --> 00:58:35,320 like when you trace the evolution of 1242 00:58:38,850 --> 00:58:37,060 ideas and things that have been 1243 00:58:41,910 --> 00:58:38,860 projected into the culture it's like 1244 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:41,920 this most recent round of materialist 1245 00:58:47,309 --> 00:58:45,130 science of atheism I mean this is like 1246 00:58:50,700 --> 00:58:47,319 deception that gets the culture even 1247 00:58:52,230 --> 00:58:50,710 further away from not only the things 1248 00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:52,240 you're talking about that just seemed to 1249 00:58:55,980 --> 00:58:54,400 be part of reality structure but even 1250 00:58:57,690 --> 00:58:55,990 the elite belief systems that are hidden 1251 00:58:59,819 --> 00:58:57,700 behind the curtain it's just another 1252 00:59:01,710 --> 00:58:59,829 layer of separation it seems to be like 1253 00:59:04,109 --> 00:59:01,720 one of the biggest deceptions of our 1254 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:04,119 time that any intelligent person would 1255 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:06,730 be a material atheist because that's the 1256 00:59:10,890 --> 00:59:08,410 view that you know I kind of grew up 1257 00:59:12,839 --> 00:59:10,900 with and adopted and then discarded 1258 00:59:14,700 --> 00:59:12,849 after a crazy psychedelic trip that 1259 00:59:17,039 --> 00:59:14,710 showed that wasn't true but it just 1260 00:59:18,450 --> 00:59:17,049 seems like a major deception to inject 1261 00:59:20,730 --> 00:59:18,460 that type of worldview because it's 1262 00:59:24,359 --> 00:59:20,740 further and further away from the stuff 1263 00:59:26,849 --> 00:59:24,369 we're talking about yeah as well just as 1264 00:59:28,499 --> 00:59:26,859 an aside to that I think you have to be 1265 00:59:30,809 --> 00:59:28,509 careful as well when you deal with a lot 1266 00:59:33,359 --> 00:59:30,819 of conspiracy stuff it also tends to 1267 00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:33,369 depress you sure so it actually closes 1268 00:59:37,859 --> 00:59:36,160 down your awareness and it takes 1269 00:59:40,710 --> 00:59:37,869 something away from you it steals 1270 00:59:42,809 --> 00:59:40,720 something from you okay so unless you're 1271 00:59:45,420 --> 00:59:42,819 doing the compensator II work on the 1272 00:59:48,539 --> 00:59:45,430 light side unless you're engaged in 1273 00:59:50,670 --> 00:59:48,549 serious meaningful work you know like 1274 00:59:53,789 --> 00:59:50,680 you do something in the community which 1275 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:53,799 is meaningful unless you're taken a lot 1276 00:59:58,529 --> 00:59:55,210 of care with what you eat and drink 1277 01:00:01,529 --> 00:59:58,539 mm-hmm you're going to get caught you 1278 01:00:05,069 --> 01:00:01,539 know that the strong dark currents can 1279 01:00:07,319 --> 01:00:05,079 carry most people along right so you 1280 01:00:09,779 --> 01:00:07,329 need to do a lot of recovery work on 1281 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:09,789 yourself and people around you I guess 1282 01:00:13,470 --> 01:00:11,650 I've been very fortunate you know I've 1283 01:00:16,710 --> 01:00:13,480 had the opportunity to see some very 1284 01:00:18,809 --> 01:00:16,720 light entities at work and that has 1285 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:18,819 encouraged me to say these things to be 1286 01:00:23,339 --> 01:00:21,250 honest sure yeah that's something we 1287 01:00:25,499 --> 01:00:23,349 definitely don't hear about that often 1288 01:00:29,009 --> 01:00:25,509 can you give us like an example or two 1289 01:00:30,839 --> 01:00:29,019 of the light side of these entities I've 1290 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:30,849 tell you one very stress to hurry 1291 01:00:35,579 --> 01:00:33,130 because you know he baffled me as well I 1292 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:35,589 was this was about 20 years ago I was 1293 01:00:40,650 --> 01:00:38,410 dragged along to see this guy Tom Kenyon 1294 01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:40,660 I'd never heard of him and he was 1295 01:00:45,990 --> 01:00:42,609 apparently channeling these these 1296 01:00:50,059 --> 01:00:46,000 entities called the hath ORS and my eyes 1297 01:00:52,559 --> 01:00:50,069 were just like rolled up you know so I 1298 01:00:54,589 --> 01:00:52,569 okay I went along with this gang you 1299 01:00:57,390 --> 01:00:54,599 know we're sitting there in this like 1300 01:00:58,870 --> 01:00:57,400 amphitheater and Tom's sitting on a 1301 01:01:01,599 --> 01:00:58,880 chair down on the stage 1302 01:01:04,329 --> 01:01:01,609 No and he starts singing well this guy 1303 01:01:07,049 --> 01:01:04,339 has I know ten octaves to his voice it 1304 01:01:10,660 --> 01:01:07,059 is absolutely stunning beautiful and 1305 01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:10,670 this was going on all of a sudden I saw 1306 01:01:18,609 --> 01:01:14,089 arraigned in front of him six beautiful 1307 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:18,619 white columns of light and they were 1308 01:01:26,980 --> 01:01:20,210 like glittering you know and these were 1309 01:01:29,769 --> 01:01:26,990 like five or six meters high and it was 1310 01:01:32,589 --> 01:01:29,779 like an overlay on reality that's a 1311 01:01:34,990 --> 01:01:32,599 strange thing and then these figures 1312 01:01:37,660 --> 01:01:35,000 these columns just drifted out off the 1313 01:01:41,349 --> 01:01:37,670 apron and up through the audience and 1314 01:01:44,799 --> 01:01:41,359 disappeared you know and laid on in in 1315 01:01:47,170 --> 01:01:44,809 this is not a performance but whatever 1316 01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:47,180 Tom Kenyon is doing with these energies 1317 01:01:51,999 --> 01:01:49,609 is apparently is getting advice and 1318 01:01:54,519 --> 01:01:52,009 stuff somebody in the audience say well 1319 01:01:56,650 --> 01:01:54,529 what if these hath ORS look like and Tom 1320 01:01:59,279 --> 01:01:56,660 immediatel when they manifest he says 1321 01:02:02,910 --> 01:01:59,289 you see them as tall by columns of light 1322 01:02:06,249 --> 01:02:02,920 that's exactly what I saw over there so 1323 01:02:09,099 --> 01:02:06,259 hmm why I was chosen to see these things 1324 01:02:12,069 --> 01:02:09,109 I don't know I have a bit sensitive to 1325 01:02:15,339 --> 01:02:12,079 energies but there they were there they 1326 01:02:17,319 --> 01:02:15,349 were Wow and the advice they give you 1327 01:02:19,660 --> 01:02:17,329 know I checked Tom's stuff every now and 1328 01:02:22,089 --> 01:02:19,670 again it's all about ascension it's all 1329 01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:22,099 about you know cleansing purifying the 1330 01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:24,470 channels and so on and you know it's all 1331 01:02:26,650 --> 01:02:26,210 good clean stuff there's no doubt about 1332 01:02:29,769 --> 01:02:26,660 it 1333 01:02:31,779 --> 01:02:29,779 but if these higher-order beings are 1334 01:02:33,730 --> 01:02:31,789 indeed there and it looks like to me as 1335 01:02:37,299 --> 01:02:33,740 though they are then there's some 1336 01:02:40,509 --> 01:02:37,309 restrictions on what they can do on this 1337 01:02:43,660 --> 01:02:40,519 plane and I would suggest that each 1338 01:02:48,249 --> 01:02:43,670 person's moral or ethical behavior is 1339 01:02:50,710 --> 01:02:48,259 the core or the limiting factor hmm and 1340 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:50,720 remember Martin Luther King said you 1341 01:02:55,749 --> 01:02:52,970 know the trajectory in the arc of the 1342 01:02:59,680 --> 01:02:55,759 universe is long he says but it bends 1343 01:03:01,720 --> 01:02:59,690 towards justice and that's what I see in 1344 01:03:05,470 --> 01:03:01,730 the constellation therapy that we do 1345 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:05,480 that the core disturbances in reality 1346 01:03:11,980 --> 01:03:08,410 arise from some form of injustice and 1347 01:03:12,740 --> 01:03:11,990 when you explicate that injustice when 1348 01:03:18,050 --> 01:03:12,750 you correct 1349 01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:18,060 you harmonize the fields so there's an 1350 01:03:24,070 --> 01:03:20,910 ongoing task that energy healers are are 1351 01:03:26,930 --> 01:03:24,080 embarked upon on a personal on a 1352 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:26,940 community level we're trying to create 1353 01:03:33,290 --> 01:03:30,170 that justice we're trying to eradicate 1354 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:33,300 the cramps and the squeezes and 1355 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:34,890 everything within the fields of 1356 01:03:40,430 --> 01:03:37,530 consciousness arising from injustice and 1357 01:03:44,510 --> 01:03:40,440 it's injustice seems to me the core 1358 01:03:46,460 --> 01:03:44,520 characteristic of the elite agreed and 1359 01:03:46,940 --> 01:03:46,470 such a noble goal that you're working 1360 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:46,950 with 1361 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:51,090 so this is the work Greg you get on and 1362 01:03:58,750 --> 01:03:53,250 you do the work and in doing that work 1363 01:04:02,540 --> 01:03:58,760 you rise above the fear and pessimism 1364 01:04:04,190 --> 01:04:02,550 arising from the darkness well said yeah 1365 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:04,200 you can only stare into the abyss so 1366 01:04:08,300 --> 01:04:06,570 long without doing so the other side 1367 01:04:09,970 --> 01:04:08,310 yeah you're gonna fall in if you look 1368 01:04:12,980 --> 01:04:09,980 longer haha 1369 01:04:14,420 --> 01:04:12,990 man I I just love this I feel like I 1370 01:04:17,330 --> 01:04:14,430 could do it all day but I gotta let you 1371 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:17,340 go sometime and I just really enjoyed 1372 01:04:21,290 --> 01:04:18,930 the book and the conversation it's 1373 01:04:23,270 --> 01:04:21,300 broken down quite well but it still 1374 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:23,280 requires so much historical context and 1375 01:04:27,110 --> 01:04:24,810 a lot of the players were pretty new to 1376 01:04:29,150 --> 01:04:27,120 me so it is just a great book that 1377 01:04:30,980 --> 01:04:29,160 unlocks so many new threads and Peaks 1378 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:30,990 behind the curtain during that era of 1379 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:32,610 the Italian Renaissance and I think 1380 01:04:39,050 --> 01:04:35,130 there's just so much to see behind it so 1381 01:04:40,310 --> 01:04:39,060 great work and you know before I let you 1382 01:04:42,530 --> 01:04:40,320 go I did want to also ask you because 1383 01:04:44,990 --> 01:04:42,540 you are an energy worker and that's the 1384 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:45,000 expertise you have it did that come into 1385 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:46,650 play at all when you were studying the 1386 01:04:49,550 --> 01:04:47,970 deck when you put your hands on this 1387 01:04:51,410 --> 01:04:49,560 thing we're talking about the energy of 1388 01:04:55,810 --> 01:04:51,420 it I mean did you experience that 1389 01:04:58,640 --> 01:04:55,820 firsthand yeah a number of times I had a 1390 01:05:01,280 --> 01:04:58,650 huge energy coming through Greg I mean I 1391 01:05:04,310 --> 01:05:01,290 was like paralyzed for like four days it 1392 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:04,320 was so intense and none of the energy 1393 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:06,330 workers around me could help could move 1394 01:05:10,850 --> 01:05:08,610 it you know one of them tried you know 1395 01:05:13,270 --> 01:05:10,860 and they almost fainted they had to go 1396 01:05:15,290 --> 01:05:13,280 out of the room it was that intense so I 1397 01:05:17,780 --> 01:05:15,300 wasn't worried that something was 1398 01:05:20,660 --> 01:05:17,790 driving this and the way the clues came 1399 01:05:23,810 --> 01:05:20,670 to help me break this code sometimes 1400 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:23,820 really strange you

all-around amazing stuff you've 1465 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:03,330 definitely contributed to our scholarly 1466 01:08:08,060 --> 01:08:05,730 understanding of the occult beliefs of 1467 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:08,070 the elite and I salute you for it take 1468 01:08:12,860 --> 01:08:10,410 care out there man thank you very much 1469 01:08:16,790 --> 01:08:12,870 Greg it's been a pleasure you got

Saturn what a great 1473 01:08:26,990 --> 01:08:25,260 subject and whenever someone asks me if 1474 01:08:29,030 --> 01:08:27,000 it's possible that the elite might have 1475 01:08:31,340 --> 01:08:29,040 come from a reptilian bloodline of some 1476 01:08:33,860 --> 01:08:31,350 kind or do I think the elite make deals 1477 01:08:35,780 --> 01:08:33,870 with dark forces I'm gonna say don't 1478 01:08:38,060 --> 01:08:35,790 take my word for it let's just see what 1479 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:38,070 the Italian Renaissance elite had to say 1480 01:08:43,070 --> 01:08:41,010 for themselves it's provocative and 1481 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:43,080 granted you can't see the art on the 1482 01:08:46,850 --> 01:08:45,090 cards in an audio show but you can 1483 01:08:49,550 --> 01:08:46,860 always use the links in the show notes 1484 01:08:51,590 --> 01:08:49,560 or just google the deck it is really one 1485 01:08:54,230 --> 01:08:51,600 of my favorite types of episodes to do 1486 01:08:55,910 --> 01:08:54,240 where we kind of examine something that 1487 01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:55,920 can move the needle in terms of making 1488 01:09:00,890 --> 01:08:58,290 the case for some far-out positions and 1489 01:09:02,900 --> 01:09:00,900 really what is more far-out than a deal 1490 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:02,910 with the Demiurge to bypass the 1491 01:09:06,770 --> 01:09:05,250 reincarnation cycle and rule over a man 1492 01:09:09,410 --> 01:09:06,780 as the management class of this 1493 01:09:12,170 --> 01:09:09,420 manifestation of course I can't say 1494 01:09:14,060 --> 01:09:12,180 exactly why the deck was made but given 1495 01:09:16,370 --> 01:09:14,070 the context of the times it's clearly a 1496 01:09:17,990 --> 01:09:16,380 very special piece and I love that Peter 1497 01:09:21,230 --> 01:09:18,000 really let me run with the speculation 1498 01:09:24,140 --> 01:09:21,240 we pushed it today but you know that's 1499 01:09:27,350 --> 01:09:24,150 what we do here Peter though what a 1500 01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:27,360 knowledgeable guy great writer I just 1501 01:09:32,180 --> 01:09:29,610 loved it to find this sort of physical 1502 01:09:34,070 --> 01:09:32,190 evidence for a continuity to elite power 1503 01:09:36,740 --> 01:09:34,080 and a consistency of occult beliefs 1504 01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:36,750 among their ranks it's mind-blowing I 1505 01:09:41,300 --> 01:09:39,060 also think this one pairs really nicely 1506 01:09:43,820 --> 01:09:41,310 with Chris Noel's last week two of my 1507 01:09:45,770 --> 01:09:43,830 favorite shows lately for sure if you 1508 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:45,780 don't sign up for Plus now I guess you 1509 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:47,730 just maybe never will because these are 1510 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:49,890 the shows that I'd be looking for in the 1511 01:09:53,070 --> 01:09:51,690 second half of today's we got deeper 1512 01:09:55,350 --> 01:09:53,080 into the deck and sub 1513 01:09:58,110 --> 01:09:55,360 ways we focused in on the Trump cards 1514 01:09:59,970 --> 01:09:58,120 and why they point to northern Africa we 1515 01:10:02,490 --> 01:09:59,980 broke down the mysteries of the suit 1516 01:10:04,860 --> 01:10:02,500 cards the decks codes and multiple 1517 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:04,870 levels of encryption the science of the 1518 01:10:10,860 --> 01:10:07,810 her monk ulis demonic fellatio cannot 1519 01:10:12,630 --> 01:10:10,870 forget demonic fellatio also the details 1520 01:10:15,540 --> 01:10:12,640 of the cards that reference human 1521 01:10:18,210 --> 01:10:15,550 sacrifice what that's all about how Troy 1522 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:18,220 was once referenced to as the realm of 1523 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:21,130 the serpent born also the court cards 1524 01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:23,530 and the emphasis on half reptilian 1525 01:10:28,230 --> 01:10:26,530 origins for certain elite bloodlines how 1526 01:10:31,020 --> 01:10:28,240 to tell if you were pledged to a dark 1527 01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:31,030 entity in a previous life the idea of 1528 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:33,310 the elite pledging large groups of 1529 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:37,090 people to demons in mass rituals dragons 1530 01:10:42,210 --> 01:10:39,370 also just to ice the cake and the 1531 01:10:45,090 --> 01:10:42,220 importance of positive polarity for good 1532 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:45,100 measure I can loved it can't thank Peter 1533 01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:47,170 and Scarlet imprint enough also Gordon 1534 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:48,910 for having him on

01:11:40,050 --> 01:11:37,930 that he was 11 when Roswell happened and 1557 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:40,060 also had an out-of-body experience I 1558 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:42,010 actually just thought
