00:00:10,530 in I have too many subscribers here just 5 00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:13,259 to walk away entirely especially with no 6 00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:15,809 alternative that truly stacks up and so 7 00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:18,000 many copycat channels uploading my shows 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:21,420 for me anyway but we can't forget the th 9 00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:23,730 C's account here is on thin ice 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:25,830 and so the YouTube version of the show 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:28,410 has to be prefaced with this little PSA 12 00:00:32,959 --> 00:00:31,650 only to say that episodes that contain 13 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:32,969 the kinds of themes that have been 14 00:00:37,549 --> 00:00:35,280 regularly banned on YouTube will not 15 00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:37,559 appear here and even with that 16 00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:39,749 precaution there's already enough in the 17 00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:42,089 archive to get us removed so remember 18 00:00:46,219 --> 00:00:43,800 that the higher side chats could be 19 00:00:48,469 --> 00:00:46,229 banned or put in timeout again at any 20 00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:48,479 time and I won't be able to tell you 21

00:02:14,560 myself over for a while and the plus 58 00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:16,599 members you have given me some responses 59 00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:18,940 have all been really understanding and I 60 00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:21,489 can sigh the sweet sigh of relief but 61 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,560 I'm sure we'll lose some people too and 62 00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:25,360 I'm prepared for that but

as they say 69 00:02:41,009 --> 00:02:39,010 but even at eight dollars I think we're 70 00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:41,019 still an alright deal when you consider 71 00:02:45,420 --> 00:02:43,660 what else is out there I hate to do it 72 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:45,430 but even Amazon Prime has raised the 73 00:02:49,259 --> 00:02:47,290 price on me twice in the last few years 74 00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:49,269 and I think they have a lot more members 75 00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:51,160 than me and I'm not asking for a key to 76 00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:53,260 your front door we're still gonna have

00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:20,620 going here nobody's more anxious and 89 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:23,140 nervous about a big change than I am 90 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:24,850 so thanks for all the support

00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,319 you have a plan it's clearly maybe 95 00:03:57,890 --> 00:03:55,040 something there beyond the realm of man 96 00:04:01,070 --> 00:03:57,900 till we've thoroughly tested every last 97 00:04:05,809 --> 00:04:01,080 close just did you find the more you 98 00:04:05,819 --> 00:04:09,770 where will we be 99 00:04:17,180 --> 00:04:12,960 we know the lying to us just don't know 100 00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:17,190 what to green where would we be without 101 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:22,560 DC I said sure 102 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:36,370 how's it going higher side chatters once 103 00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:38,690 again the offering on the THC table is 104 00:04:42,670 --> 00:04:40,340 another attempt to unravel the secrets 105 00:04:44,830 --> 00:04:42,680 of the ancient past understand the ways 106 00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:44,840 of indigenous peoples and decode the 107 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:46,430 mysteries of a long-standing and 108 00:04:51,010 --> 00:04:49,010 widespread esoteric tradition because as 109 00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:51,020 far as I'm concerned humanity will never 110 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:52,340 feel complete without a better 111 00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:53,810 understanding of where we've been and 112 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:56,240 how we got here yet the academic 113 00:05:00,130 --> 00:04:58,490 establishment is suspiciously content to 114 00:05:02,170 --> 00:05:00,140 uphold a thoroughly contradicted and 115 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,180 outdated model of human history and our 116 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:03,680 environment and whether they're 117 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:05,450 fulfilling their roles as nefarious 118 00:05:10,090 --> 00:05:08,090 gatekeepers blinded by nationalism or 119 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:10,100 just victims of their own stubborn egos 120 00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:12,050 doesn't matter much to me when important 121 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:14,420 truths are left unknown and if it wasn't 122 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:16,370 for the brave and persistent independent 123 00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:18,050 researchers willing to bust up the 124 00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:19,910 pre-approved paradigm and rework the 125 00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:21,920 research from the ground up we would be 126 00:05:27,010 --> 00:05:24,860 even more lost and if that wasn't enough 127 00:05:28,780 --> 00:05:27,020 we also find that many tribes around the 128 00:05:31,630 --> 00:05:28,790 world as well as lost civilizations of 129 00:05:33,790 --> 00:05:31,640 the past were burned so often by outside 130 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:33,800 forces and armchair understandings that 131 00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,570 even they developed a system of 132 00:05:39,190 --> 00:05:37,280 secret-keeping isolation and 133 00:05:41,530 --> 00:05:39,200 preservation structuring their own 134 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:41,540 history and cosmologies into a mystery 135 00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:43,130 school hierarchy of learning that 136 00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:45,080 requires time and attention that only 137 00:05:49,690 --> 00:05:47,720 the most dedicated can undertake but the 138 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:49,700 clues are in the structures the stars 139 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,770 the symbols and the languages of peoples 140 00:05:55,630 --> 00:05:54,080 both past and present and it takes one 141 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:55,640 hell of a code breaker to follow the 142 00:05:59,350 --> 00:05:57,770 bread crumbs fortunately for us to your 143 00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,360 people of the internet one hell of a 144 00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:01,520 Code Breaker is exactly who we have with 145 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:04,190 us today back in the saddle for a second 146 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:06,050 show is the great Laird Scranton an 147 00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:08,210 independent software engineer who turned 148 00:06:12,370 --> 00:06:10,160 his attention to research in comparative 149 00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:12,380 cosmology and ancient language and has 150 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:14,390 sent synchronized many aspects of 151 00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:17,600 ancient African Egyptian Vedic Chinese 152 00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:19,790 Scottish and Polynesian traditions in a 153 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:21,320 long-running book series that has become 154 00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:23,930 one of my favorites out there last time 155 00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:26,030 we talked largely about the Dogon tribe 156 00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:27,830 of Africa and his book the Velikovsky 157 00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:30,440 heresies and today we'll be poring over 158 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:32,390 the big picture largely through the lens 159 00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:34,490 of his latest book decoding Maori 160 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:36,550 cosmology the ancient origins 161 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:39,250 New Zealand's indigenous culture peeling 162 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,720 back the East e'terica onion a life 163 00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:42,880 restoring the lost knowledge of the ages 164 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:44,950 and crack in the big code layered my man 165 00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:47,770 welcome back to the higher side hey Greg 166 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,300 thank you very much that's really high 167 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:51,280 praise now I gotta figure out what you 168 00:06:57,090 --> 00:06:53,490 must really mean by that 169 00:06:59,010 --> 00:06:57,100 I'm sure we'll get into it but it is 170 00:07:01,170 --> 00:06:59,020 always a treat to talk to you I'm a big 171 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:01,180 fan and it's hard to keep up with your 172 00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:03,310 rapid-fire releases and as I understand 173 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:06,460 this book about the Maori tribe is the 174 00:07:10,650 --> 00:07:08,410 seventh in a series looking at various 175 00:07:13,170 --> 00:07:10,660 cultures that can all be folded in to 176 00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:13,180 have some real synergistic routes to 177 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:15,550 their cosmologies and symbols and 178 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:17,590 languages and I guess to kick this off 179 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:19,510 maybe you can give us a bit of an 180 00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:21,280 overview of the cultures that you've 181 00:07:25,230 --> 00:07:23,110 studied that you see this sort of 182 00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,240 connective tissue between before we 183 00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:27,520 bring in the Polynesian tribe oh great 184 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:30,070 that's actually helped because as things 185 00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:32,290 turn out I see the more we who are our 186 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:34,390 later tradition as connecting to the 187 00:07:38,730 --> 00:07:36,730 same set of cultures pretty much every 188 00:07:41,130 --> 00:07:38,740 culture I've written about every era in 189 00:07:43,770 --> 00:07:41,140 every region I can see connections to 190 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,780 New Zealand so discussing the background 191 00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:45,520 will help us put that all into context 192 00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:46,420 great 193 00:07:51,030 --> 00:07:49,030 my approach to things which started with 194 00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:51,040 an African tribe but there's also the 195 00:07:55,170 --> 00:07:52,840 historical approach to things this is a 196 00:07:58,170 --> 00:07:55,180 tradition that I believe began around 197 00:08:00,450 --> 00:07:58,180 10,000 BC we see the first evidence of 198 00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:00,460 it in the Fertile Crescent region 199 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:03,760 southeastern Turkey at a location called 200 00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:06,450 gobekli tepe which is a mountaintop 201 00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:09,640 sanctuary with standing stone circles in 202 00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:13,060 my view as I compare things my work is 203 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:15,460 called comparative cosmology and what 204 00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:17,650 that means is that I try to learn more 205 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:20,380 about words and myths and symbols by 206 00:08:24,330 --> 00:08:21,850 comparing how different cultures 207 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:24,340 understood the same elements and so my 208 00:08:29,730 --> 00:08:26,410 comparisons have moved geographically 209 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:29,740 from West Africa to Egypt to India to 210 00:08:36,930 --> 00:08:33,610 Tibet and China then to ancient Turkey 211 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:36,940 then jump over to the UK northern 212 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:39,370 Scotland and then on from northern 213 00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:42,130 Scotland to the Mauryan New Zealand 214 00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:45,070 mm-hmm those big leaps are harder to 215 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:46,660 justify but that's part of what the 216 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:49,170 books are about is trying to 217 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:50,850 a basis for understanding how those 218 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:53,010 connections remained so the tradition 219 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,720 for me begins in the Fertile Crescent 220 00:09:00,490 --> 00:08:57,120 region this is the area where we see the 221 00:09:01,730 --> 00:09:00,500 first evidence of cultivated seeds of 222 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:01,740 metalworking 223 00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:05,610 of animal husbandry of domesticated 224 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:06,990 animals of 225 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:08,730 stone working and a number of other 226 00:09:15,470 --> 00:09:12,959 critical skills of culture all appear in 227 00:09:18,410 --> 00:09:15,480 the same region in the same short period 228 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:18,420 of time now from the perspective of some 229 00:09:23,389 --> 00:09:20,370 of the other traditions that I work with 230 00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:23,399 this looks like an instructed tradition 231 00:09:27,620 --> 00:09:25,769 it looks like one way to explain how all 232 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:27,630 of these skills appear in the same place 233 00:09:32,569 --> 00:09:29,970 at the same moment is that we had some 234 00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:32,579 help and that's what the Dogon and 235 00:09:38,269 --> 00:09:35,430 Africa say that's what the Buddhists 236 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:38,279 flatly say and we have high degree of 237 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:39,930 comparability between the Dogon and the 238 00:09:45,139 --> 00:09:41,730 Buddhist tradition so I tend to go with 239 00:09:49,069 --> 00:09:45,149 what they agree on so for me this begins 240 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:49,079 in Turkey and then the tradition passes 241 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:51,510 down towards the south and towards the 242 00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:53,970 southeast from Turkey from the Fertile 243 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:56,940 Crescent region into Palestine also into 244 00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:00,959 India and that passes down through a 245 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:02,959 group called the Shakti cult which was a 246 00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:05,730 matriarchal cult that's so old nobody 247 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:08,670 knows how old it actually was many of 248 00:10:14,689 --> 00:10:12,000 the Dogon philosophies of creation lying 249 00:10:18,769 --> 00:10:14,699 right up with Shakti cult traditions 250 00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:18,779 this is pre other religious traditions 251 00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:21,870 in India pre-vet Cree Hinduism pre 252 00:10:26,090 --> 00:10:24,630 Buddhism all rest on the same set of 253 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:26,100 philosophies that came out of that 254 00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:28,290 region hmm so then it passes down 255 00:10:35,210 --> 00:10:31,980 through India and into Egypt at around 256 00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:35,220 4000 BC in elephantine in the south I 257 00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:37,620 also see some direct connections to 258 00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:41,220 ancient Egypt around 10,000 BC from the 259 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:42,990 Fertile Crescent region the way to 260 00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:45,930 understand that is if you subscribe to 261 00:10:51,470 --> 00:10:48,720 my friend Robert Bauval suggestion that 262 00:10:54,079 --> 00:10:51,480 the three large Pyramids at Giza reflect 263 00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:54,089 the Orion belt stars that would have 264 00:10:59,389 --> 00:10:56,279 been set in the sky above it in the era 265 00:11:02,240 --> 00:10:59,399 of 10000 BC the only way that could be 266 00:11:05,780 --> 00:11:02,250 true is if the alignments had been made 267 00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:05,790 10,000 BC otherwise we have to figure 268 00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:07,680 out how is it that some later culture 269 00:11:12,170 --> 00:11:09,420 had all the skills and equipment 270 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:12,180 necessary to retrospectively calculate 271 00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:13,410 what the alignment should have been 272 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:15,510 hundreds of thousands of years earlier 273 00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:17,370 so it looks like there's a direct 274 00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:19,470 connection to the tradition from Fertile 275 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:21,870 Crescent ancient Egypt to 10,000 BC to 276 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:24,090 set those alignments the Sphinx also 277 00:11:29,930 --> 00:11:26,010 looks at the constellation of Leo in 278 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:29,940 that same era at 10,000 BC so we either 279 00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:32,370 have to conclude that those structures 280 00:11:36,740 --> 00:11:35,100 began to be constructed or at least the 281 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:36,750 alignments laid down in the era of 282 00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:40,410 10,000 BC mm-hmm so now then sometime 283 00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:43,950 after 6,000 BC we see connections to the 284 00:11:48,980 --> 00:11:46,350 Fertile Crescent from northern Scotland 285 00:11:50,770 --> 00:11:48,990 there are sites that look for all the 286 00:11:54,410 --> 00:11:50,780 world like an instructional site on 287 00:11:56,420 --> 00:11:54,420 orkney island scotland with a megalithic 288 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:56,430 tradition that was the starting point 289 00:12:02,530 --> 00:11:58,410 for all of the Stonehenge like 290 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:02,540 structures we see in the UK and DNA 291 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:05,760 testing confirms that we have maybe half 292 00:12:10,910 --> 00:12:08,010 a dozen different elements on Orkney 293 00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:10,920 Island at I back to the same region same 294 00:12:16,730 --> 00:12:13,230 era of the Fertile Crescent around 6000 295 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,740 BC they can't track it across Europe so 296 00:12:21,020 --> 00:12:18,480 it looks like something made a jump by 297 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:21,030 sea from Fertile Crescent region to 298 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,530 Orkney island we even have a burial 299 00:12:26,930 --> 00:12:24,480 tradition that is a match for what the 300 00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:26,940 shocked Tikal does in India or did it in 301 00:12:33,260 --> 00:12:29,580 India hmm all of this becomes background 302 00:12:35,390 --> 00:12:33,270 for the Mauri cosmology another way we 303 00:12:37,850 --> 00:12:35,400 can trace it is through language even 304 00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:37,860 the Dogon African tribe language they're 305 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:40,380 very careful about retaining original 306 00:12:44,810 --> 00:12:42,450 forms and so their language is 307 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:44,820 unclassifiable because it's made up of 308 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:46,560 subsets of other languages that they 309 00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:49,650 keep very strictly distinct and some of 310 00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:51,420 those words are Tomeo words and some of 311 00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:53,550 those words are Turkish words and you 312 00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:55,740 can almost track the path of 313 00:12:59,980 --> 00:12:57,720 transmission for the tradition based on 314 00:13:02,780 --> 00:12:59,990 those subsets of languages for the Dogon 315 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:02,790 and Maori are very similar the Maori if 316 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,250 I had just started with a Maori 317 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:07,760 dictionary and nothing else 318 00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:09,170 I could have made connections to all 319 00:13:15,010 --> 00:13:11,030 these same eras just based on how the 320 00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:15,020 words are formulated Wow I mean that is 321 00:13:20,890 --> 00:13:17,600 a great overview and it seems quite 322 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:20,900 complex of course but if we're gonna 323 00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:22,850 talk about the Maori a little bit more 324 00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:25,310 what could you tell people about their 325 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:28,520 culture their ways for the ones who are 326 00:13:33,970 --> 00:13:30,650 maybe completely unfamiliar what stuck 327 00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:33,980 out to you well most of the traditions 328 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:35,510 that I've written about are from the 329 00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:39,050 3000 BC era that's at the point where 330 00:13:43,630 --> 00:13:40,580 written language appears and so it's 331 00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:43,640 easy to frame interpretations when you 332 00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:45,110 have a written text that tells you what 333 00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:46,790 the culture itself thought about 334 00:13:51,010 --> 00:13:49,280 something you get much earlier than that 335 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:51,020 it's harder the Mauri 336 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:53,090 are a much later tradition they're 337 00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:55,250 understood to have arrived in New 338 00:14:00,430 --> 00:13:57,380 Zealand around 1100 AD which is 339 00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:00,440 thousands of years later so anybody 340 00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:01,720 who's ever played the game of telephone 341 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:03,950 understands that things change over time 342 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:06,290 and you can imagine how over thousands 343 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:08,330 of years any tradition might have 344 00:14:15,850 --> 00:14:12,490 morphed a little bit we also have as a 345 00:14:17,710 --> 00:14:15,860 structural part of this cosmology they 346 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:17,720 serve an archaic era and a more recent 347 00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:20,720 ancient era of this creation tradition 348 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:21,470 I'm talking about 349 00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:24,770 and there are reversals and symbolism 350 00:14:29,050 --> 00:14:26,870 that happen midway through this 351 00:14:31,090 --> 00:14:29,060 tradition across many different cultures 352 00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:31,100 and your cultures that were not thought 353 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:32,750 to have had any contact with each other 354 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:35,330 suddenly patriarchy takes over 355 00:14:40,030 --> 00:14:37,010 matriarchy at about the same moment 356 00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:40,040 mm-hmm those kinds of reversals suddenly 357 00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:42,500 have figures like squares and circles 358 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:45,020 that represented the concepts of the 359 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:47,090 non-material and the material suddenly 360 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:49,250 reverse themselves for no explainable 361 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:51,410 reason you have all sorts of other 362 00:14:57,150 --> 00:14:53,810 symbolism that switches itself in the 363 00:14:59,950 --> 00:14:57,160 archaic tradition without person died 364 00:15:02,470 --> 00:14:59,960 part of the burial tradition was to open 365 00:15:05,980 --> 00:15:02,480 the top of the head ostensibly to allow 366 00:15:08,650 --> 00:15:05,990 the soul to ascend anybody who's studied 367 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:08,660 yoga knows that enlightened energy that 368 00:15:14,050 --> 00:15:11,690 rises up to a person's the chakras of a 369 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:14,060 person's body ultimately is said to 370 00:15:17,790 --> 00:15:15,650 emerge from the top of the head this is 371 00:15:20,489 --> 00:15:17,800 the same kind of a concept well 372 00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:20,499 sometime after 3000 BC that flips and 373 00:15:25,410 --> 00:15:22,689 instead of opening the top of the head 374 00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:25,420 to let the soul ascend in Egypt they 375 00:15:30,350 --> 00:15:27,550 wrap the body like a mummy and open the 376 00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:30,360 mouth to allow the soul to be reborn 377 00:15:36,030 --> 00:15:33,040 this is a reversal in symbolism we see 378 00:15:38,489 --> 00:15:36,040 other places you have goddesses like 379 00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,499 sati in India whose symbolism and the 380 00:15:42,929 --> 00:15:41,199 myths that go with her actions she 381 00:15:44,579 --> 00:15:42,939 performs things that are said about her 382 00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:44,589 are often things that are said about 383 00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:48,160 Osiris in Egypt who is a god same thing 384 00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:50,529 with the Mauryan new zealand is that you 385 00:15:56,729 --> 00:15:54,670 have names of gods the tie to goddesses 386 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:56,739 in Prior eras and other cultures you 387 00:16:01,289 --> 00:15:59,199 have actions of those gods the tie to 388 00:16:03,389 --> 00:16:01,299 the actions of goddesses in Prior eras 389 00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:03,399 you even have a certain amount of 390 00:16:07,379 --> 00:16:05,470 confusion internally within the myths of 391 00:16:09,449 --> 00:16:07,389 New Zealand themselves you have a 392 00:16:12,299 --> 00:16:09,459 mythical character who's represented as 393 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:12,309 being male but then there's an ancient 394 00:16:18,299 --> 00:16:14,410 myth that says he was offered as a bride 395 00:16:20,539 --> 00:16:18,309 to some other God mm-hmm so you have 396 00:16:22,889 --> 00:16:20,549 carryover of symbolism that implies that 397 00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:22,899 the earlier tradition saw these as 398 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:25,600 female not male yeah it's so interesting 399 00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:27,610 and it's funny that you brought this up 400 00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:29,350 already because this is one of the 401 00:16:35,730 --> 00:16:31,990 paragraphs I had copied down and just to 402 00:16:38,369 --> 00:16:35,740 reiterate you say at around 3100 BC 403 00:16:40,109 --> 00:16:38,379 monarchies founded on functional systems 404 00:16:41,609 --> 00:16:40,119 of Agriculture began to appear in 405 00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:41,619 various regions of the globe 406 00:16:46,049 --> 00:16:43,779 these included the emergence of dynastic 407 00:16:47,939 --> 00:16:46,059 King ships in Egypt the appearance of 408 00:16:50,669 --> 00:16:47,949 the earliest Emperors of China and 409 00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:50,679 likely kingship in Ireland and Peru as 410 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:53,740 well at about the same time distinct 411 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:55,569 revisions or reversals occurred in the 412 00:17:00,119 --> 00:16:57,490 form of ancient cosmological symbols 413 00:17:02,609 --> 00:17:00,129 archaic matriarchal religious traditions 414 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:02,619 came to be sir planted by patriarchal 415 00:17:07,529 --> 00:17:05,049 traditions just as you said creator gods 416 00:17:09,689 --> 00:17:07,539 such as rah and Amon in Egypt and Shiva 417 00:17:11,970 --> 00:17:09,699 and India came to take precedence over 418 00:17:14,610 --> 00:17:11,980 long revered mother goddesses these 419 00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:14,620 changes crossed cultural boundaries and 420 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:17,679 so seemed to reflect the action of some 421 00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:20,049 regionally capable or perhaps even 422 00:17:26,010 --> 00:17:23,620 globally capable influence now I might 423 00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:26,020 be prone to grand conspiratorial 424 00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:28,270 thinking but if I didn't know better I'd 425 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:29,830 say it sounded like you were painting 426 00:17:34,610 --> 00:17:31,770 the picture of something that sound 427 00:17:37,310 --> 00:17:34,620 like a global governmental or spiritual 428 00:17:38,930 --> 00:17:37,320 coup well it might be simpler than that 429 00:17:40,370 --> 00:17:38,940 there's another way to look at it 430 00:17:43,610 --> 00:17:40,380 there's a metaphor I use that tries to 431 00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:43,620 put it in context for a modern person to 432 00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:45,750 think about it the example I use is 433 00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:47,760 imagine that you are on a cross-country 434 00:17:52,790 --> 00:17:49,980 flight on an airplane and you start in 435 00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:52,800 New York City and you land in Los 436 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:55,440 Angeles now the chances are when you get 437 00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,840 on that flight you may not know more 438 00:18:02,240 --> 00:17:59,520 than one or two other people on the 439 00:18:04,580 --> 00:18:02,250 flight you may not talk to anybody else 440 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,590 on the flight but by the time you arrive 441 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:06,720 at your destination everybody on the 442 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:09,930 flight knows to change their watch hmm 443 00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:12,810 now this isn't because somebody ran 444 00:18:16,190 --> 00:18:14,670 around and handed them all a memo and 445 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:16,200 said remember to change your watch when 446 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:18,690 you get to the West Coast it's because 447 00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:20,730 everybody understands that that's the 448 00:18:24,860 --> 00:18:23,190 way time zones work and when you change 449 00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:24,870 time zones you have to change your watch 450 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:27,900 and the same concept applies to this 451 00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:30,930 cosmology that there's a mindset that 452 00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:33,150 involves eras the same way that Yuga 453 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:36,120 cycle involves distinct eras anybody who 454 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:38,370 was instructed in this tradition would 455 00:18:43,130 --> 00:18:40,890 understand how these eras work and as 456 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:43,140 you move forward in them there's certain 457 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:46,170 requirements symbolism well in the Yuga 458 00:18:51,770 --> 00:18:49,490 cycle tradition you have a change in 459 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:51,780 humanity's ability to perceive the 460 00:18:56,750 --> 00:18:55,290 non-material but for me what's really 461 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:56,760 happening under the covers and it's 462 00:19:00,820 --> 00:18:58,170 complicated there's a whole book to try 463 00:19:04,370 --> 00:19:00,830 to explain how and why this works 464 00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:04,380 there's a physical change in materiality 465 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:08,160 happening with our universe in the 466 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:10,410 mindset of Sankhya which is the ancient 467 00:19:16,790 --> 00:19:13,130 philosophy that this all rests on 468 00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:16,800 universes form in pairs and there's a 469 00:19:21,980 --> 00:19:19,500 cycle of energy that Scrolls between 470 00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:21,990 those universes one universe is less 471 00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:24,030 material the other one is more material 472 00:19:28,790 --> 00:19:26,460 and the energy that Scrolls between the 473 00:19:31,610 --> 00:19:28,800 universes is a lot like think of it as 474 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:31,620 sand in an hourglass you start out with 475 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:33,330 all the sand in the top of the hourglass 476 00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:35,280 and by the time you're done all the sand 477 00:19:39,410 --> 00:19:37,680 is in the bottom of the hourglass hmm 478 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:39,420 well that's the way it works with non 479 00:19:44,660 --> 00:19:42,090 materiality and materiality and these 480 00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:44,670 symbols have pertinence for what's 481 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:45,420 material 482 00:19:52,430 --> 00:19:49,410 considered to be feminine so in the 483 00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:52,440 early eras when our universe was 484 00:19:57,140 --> 00:19:55,500 ostensibly less material we associated 485 00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:57,150 with the feminine which is matriarchy 486 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:00,240 where the last material universe but as 487 00:20:04,580 --> 00:20:03,090 time goes on and energy shifts and we 488 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:04,590 become progressively more and more and 489 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:07,530 more material then half way through the 490 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:09,690 cycle when you have equal amounts of 491 00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:11,250 sand in the top and the bottom of the 492 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:14,370 hourglass from that point on it's the 493 00:20:18,380 --> 00:20:16,170 lower globe of the hourglass that's the 494 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:18,390 more material globe now all the 495 00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:19,890 symbolism that formerly applied to the 496 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:20,550 non-material 497 00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:24,690 has to apply to the material hmm and so 498 00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:27,000 a lot of the symbolism works that way it 499 00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:29,430 changes because there's a cycle that's 500 00:20:34,730 --> 00:20:32,130 changing fair enough well I like that 501 00:20:37,330 --> 00:20:34,740 analogy because that was gonna be kind 502 00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:37,340 of my next comment if it wasn't some 503 00:20:42,860 --> 00:20:40,110 physical takeover and reversal of 504 00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:42,870 long-standing understandings then maybe 505 00:20:46,730 --> 00:20:44,670 it was like a thought form that spread 506 00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:46,740 across the surface or we moved into some 507 00:20:51,890 --> 00:20:49,500 kind of new energy that caused ideas to 508 00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:51,900 switch which is kind of on the same page 509 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:55,590 as what you just said right but in a lot 510 00:21:00,200 --> 00:20:57,690 of cases there's a fairly simple answer 511 00:21:02,690 --> 00:21:00,210 that still falls in the context of these 512 00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:02,700 traditions and tenth my point of view 513 00:21:06,890 --> 00:21:04,740 has been that the biggest threat to my 514 00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:06,900 own research and my own interpretations 515 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:10,500 is the propensity of the human mind to 516 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:12,240 see patterns whether there's one there 517 00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:14,610 or not hmm and so to protect myself 518 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:19,830 against my own wishful nostalgia I am 519 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:23,010 studying States a thing I can't use it 520 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:24,810 as an interpretation I can't say hey 521 00:21:29,210 --> 00:21:26,730 this looks like someone was putting 522 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:29,220 together a Model T Ford simply because 523 00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:30,690 there are parts that look like that to 524 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:33,870 me if a culture says yes by the way we 525 00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:35,610 were putting together a Model T Ford now 526 00:21:39,650 --> 00:21:37,350 I have something to work with mm-hmm 527 00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:39,660 well this is the way the dogon creation 528 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:42,390 tradition works their priests flatly say 529 00:21:47,930 --> 00:21:44,850 that their symbols describe how matter 530 00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:47,940 forms and my job as a researcher then 531 00:21:52,820 --> 00:21:51,120 becomes one of verifying whether the 532 00:21:54,890 --> 00:21:52,830 reasonableness of what they're saying I 533 00:21:57,890 --> 00:21:54,900 can take a look at their symbols and ask 534 00:21:58,690 --> 00:21:57,900 myself is there any way by any stretch 535 00:22:01,490 --> 00:21:58,700 of the imagination 536 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:01,500 that this set of symbols could represent 537 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:04,410 how matter forms as it turns out there 538 00:22:08,930 --> 00:22:06,690 is not only by a stretch of the 539 00:22:10,940 --> 00:22:08,940 imagination with no stretch at all just 540 00:22:12,830 --> 00:22:10,950 by simple comparison you can see that 541 00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:12,840 what the Dogon are talking about is the 542 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:14,550 same thing that Stephen Hawking talks 543 00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:17,250 about in a brief history of time or that 544 00:22:23,420 --> 00:22:19,350 Brian Greene talks about in some of his 545 00:22:25,070 --> 00:22:23,430 books popularizers of science hmm in 546 00:22:26,930 --> 00:22:25,080 many cases you could substitute the 547 00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:26,940 dogged description of a thing for 548 00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:28,350 Stephen Hawking's description and 549 00:22:32,750 --> 00:22:30,150 Stephen Hawking's book and he wouldn't 550 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:32,760 change the meaning of his chapter hmm 551 00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:35,850 but his understanding was that we were 552 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:37,950 in just a material universe and that if 553 00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:39,210 you can't see it it isn't real 554 00:22:43,550 --> 00:22:40,950 essentially I would think so it seems 555 00:22:47,660 --> 00:22:43,560 like he's leaving out a big other side 556 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:47,670 of the coin yes and unfortunately there 557 00:22:53,180 --> 00:22:49,770 are physicists who feel that that's true 558 00:22:55,460 --> 00:22:53,190 generally in astrophysics one of the 559 00:22:58,130 --> 00:22:55,470 books that I read relies on a theory of 560 00:23:00,380 --> 00:22:58,140 physics called the ether physics model 561 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:00,390 yeah and the gentleman who developed 562 00:23:05,030 --> 00:23:03,120 that the reason he went about developing 563 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:05,040 it was precisely because he wasn't happy 564 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:06,210 with the answers he was getting from 565 00:23:13,370 --> 00:23:09,450 professors about basic questions he was 566 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:13,380 asking things like so if dimension is 567 00:23:18,110 --> 00:23:15,090 what allows us to measure things like 568 00:23:20,029 --> 00:23:18,120 length or height and width 569 00:23:21,529 --> 00:23:20,039 the dimensions themselves can't be 570 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:21,539 measured where do the dimensions exist 571 00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:23,730 where the dimensions come from and he 572 00:23:27,620 --> 00:23:25,950 would get sort of a half-baked answer as 573 00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,630 to what that is I mean if time is a 574 00:23:32,210 --> 00:23:29,520 constant or life is a constant in the 575 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:32,220 universe where did that come from the 576 00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:33,840 implication is there's something outside 577 00:23:38,990 --> 00:23:37,110 of the universe where these things arise 578 00:23:40,990 --> 00:23:39,000 and we're seeing the effect of those 579 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:41,000 things we're not seeing the thing itself 580 00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:44,640 mm-hmm so certain astrophysicists reach 581 00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:46,289 a point where they are looking for 582 00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:48,000 answers to fall outside of the domain of 583 00:23:52,850 --> 00:23:50,039 what we can actually see again another 584 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:52,860 example I give is if you were a student 585 00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:54,450 driver learning how to drive a car 586 00:23:59,480 --> 00:23:56,640 everybody who's learned how to drive has 587 00:24:03,830 --> 00:23:59,490 gone through this if nobody told you 588 00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:03,840 that the mirrors in the car hide a blind 589 00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:06,270 spot you know I go and I first started 590 00:24:09,169 --> 00:24:07,710 to drive I thought well anything I can 591 00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:09,179 see in my mirrors is what's going on 592 00:24:14,029 --> 00:24:11,360 around my car I didn't realize that 593 00:24:16,010 --> 00:24:14,039 there's a big enough blind spot to hide 594 00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:16,020 a tractor-trailer truck of its position 595 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:18,600 right mm-hmm you have to turn your head 596 00:24:22,789 --> 00:24:20,970 to see it well science is the same way 597 00:24:25,549 --> 00:24:22,799 when you compare what the scientific 598 00:24:28,220 --> 00:24:25,559 view is compared to the archaic view all 599 00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:28,230 these things that are esoteric fall in a 600 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:30,720 blind spot for science we can even 601 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:32,730 demonstrate that that blind spot exists 602 00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:35,010 there's a certain class of particle of 603 00:24:40,580 --> 00:24:38,940 matter whose symmetry requires that for 604 00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:40,590 it to look the same we have to turn it 605 00:24:45,769 --> 00:24:43,230 around twice now imagine any object 606 00:24:47,539 --> 00:24:45,779 imagine a coffee cup say if you turn the 607 00:24:49,639 --> 00:24:47,549 coffee cup all the way around once you 608 00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:49,649 put it back in the orientation that was 609 00:24:53,180 --> 00:24:51,120 in originally it looks the same as it 610 00:24:55,159 --> 00:24:53,190 did originally well they're particles 611 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:55,169 here where that doesn't work you can't 612 00:25:00,080 --> 00:24:56,970 turn it around just once you have to 613 00:25:02,899 --> 00:25:00,090 turn it around twice and that is 614 00:25:04,580 --> 00:25:02,909 theoretically a pointer to what I refer 615 00:25:07,010 --> 00:25:04,590 to as a blind spot a domain that we 616 00:25:08,419 --> 00:25:07,020 don't see now even the scientists are 617 00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:08,429 saying hey there's so much dark matter 618 00:25:12,889 --> 00:25:10,110 out there it's more pervasive than 619 00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:12,899 regular matter but we can't see it there 620 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:14,370 are these indicators that there are 621 00:25:18,620 --> 00:25:15,690 things going on that we don't readily 622 00:25:20,630 --> 00:25:18,630 see and that's what the esoteric 623 00:25:23,299 --> 00:25:20,640 tradition is all about talking about 624 00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:23,309 those things that we can't see mm-hmm 625 00:25:28,010 --> 00:25:25,140 and that's something I love to explore 626 00:25:30,110 --> 00:25:28,020 is esoteric versus esoteric traditions 627 00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:30,120 because you often find that behind the 628 00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:31,860 curtain behind closed doors 629 00:25:35,060 --> 00:25:33,360 there's a totally different 630 00:25:37,159 --> 00:25:35,070 understanding than what they would have 631 00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:37,169 the masses believe I mean this is a 632 00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:39,630 historical thing it isn't necessarily 633 00:25:45,259 --> 00:25:42,630 that conspiratorial or related to just 634 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:45,269 our time period no that's true but the 635 00:25:49,909 --> 00:25:47,490 clearest picture that I've gotten about 636 00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:49,919 the kind of esoteric or archaic 637 00:25:55,130 --> 00:25:52,110 cosmology from your work is probably 638 00:25:57,049 --> 00:25:55,140 when you talk about the esoteric 639 00:25:59,690 --> 00:25:57,059 Buddhist traditions because I guess they 640 00:26:02,570 --> 00:25:59,700 say something like our universe is a set 641 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:02,580 of parallel dimensions maybe a set out 642 00:26:07,009 --> 00:26:05,490 of eight or seven kind of structured 643 00:26:07,580 --> 00:26:07,019 like a helix can you go into that a 644 00:26:10,909 --> 00:26:07,590 little bit 645 00:26:14,659 --> 00:26:10,919 yeah the mindset is that universes form 646 00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:14,669 in pairs not Material material and that 647 00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:16,769 ours is the fourth of seven pairs of 648 00:26:22,940 --> 00:26:20,789 universes now whether that's an absolute 649 00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,950 number or whether that's the local 650 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:24,480 structure that they want to talk about 651 00:26:28,430 --> 00:26:26,610 isn't clear whether potentially could be 652 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:28,440 more than seven total but they're 653 00:26:33,169 --> 00:26:29,850 presenting things as if there are only 654 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:33,179 seven pairs of universes that function 655 00:26:37,129 --> 00:26:35,250 in pretty much the same way and they say 656 00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:37,139 there's a cycle of energy between the 657 00:26:43,340 --> 00:26:40,289 universes that is as essential to life 658 00:26:45,710 --> 00:26:43,350 in the universe as the natural water 659 00:26:47,930 --> 00:26:45,720 cycle is on earth the natural water 660 00:26:50,659 --> 00:26:47,940 cycle is the cycle by which water 661 00:26:52,370 --> 00:26:50,669 evaporates from bodies of water forms 662 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:52,380 clouds arise up over the mountains 663 00:26:56,509 --> 00:26:54,450 create rain that then flows back to the 664 00:26:58,490 --> 00:26:56,519 sea if we didn't have that cycle of 665 00:26:58,909 --> 00:26:58,500 water there wouldn't be any life on the 666 00:27:02,600 --> 00:26:58,919 planet 667 00:27:06,049 --> 00:27:02,610 the Dogon say that life is less a force 668 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:06,059 than it is a movement of forces and the 669 00:27:09,740 --> 00:27:07,769 water cycle is a good example for what 670 00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:09,750 they mean they say that there's a 671 00:27:13,879 --> 00:27:11,760 movement of energy between the non 672 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:13,889 material and material universe that 673 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:15,690 serves that same function on the 674 00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:17,130 universal level that we wouldn't have 675 00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:20,370 life without this fluctuating cycle the 676 00:27:25,220 --> 00:27:21,919 dynamic of something called a dipole 677 00:27:27,409 --> 00:27:25,230 there are magnetic dipoles there could 678 00:27:30,379 --> 00:27:27,419 be gravitational dipoles there are 679 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:30,389 electrical dipoles these are centers of 680 00:27:34,879 --> 00:27:33,120 positive and negative energy that tend 681 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:34,889 to oscillate they come together and they 682 00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:36,330 move apart they come together and they 683 00:27:42,590 --> 00:27:39,000 move apart it's how a magnet works it's 684 00:27:44,690 --> 00:27:42,600 the force that's behind a magnet now 685 00:27:46,669 --> 00:27:44,700 the book before the mori book one that I 686 00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:46,679 released last October called seeking the 687 00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:48,809 primordial but as I was working on that 688 00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:51,780 book it seemed to me that the 689 00:27:57,020 --> 00:27:54,510 fundamental processes by which the 690 00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:57,030 universe is formed we're looking like 691 00:28:00,289 --> 00:27:58,890 they were completely understandable more 692 00:28:01,789 --> 00:28:00,299 and more understandable and I was 693 00:28:03,409 --> 00:28:01,799 puzzled by that I thought every 694 00:28:06,169 --> 00:28:03,419 religious tradition I've ever heard of 695 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:06,179 says that the fundamental processes of 696 00:28:10,820 --> 00:28:07,850 the universe are unknowable 697 00:28:12,890 --> 00:28:10,830 so how could I be arriving at a point 698 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:12,900 where these traditions made it look like 699 00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:16,010 they were completely knowable then I 700 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:18,030 stumbled on what you were talking about 701 00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:20,010 a little bit earlier between the public 702 00:28:24,590 --> 00:28:22,110 and private versions of these traditions 703 00:28:26,029 --> 00:28:24,600 there are things are represented in a 704 00:28:29,029 --> 00:28:26,039 slightly different way the way the 705 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:29,039 priests explain it is they fib about 706 00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:30,960 certain things they tell little lies an 707 00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:34,200 easy example for the Dogon is they say 708 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:36,960 publicly that they celebrate their 709 00:28:44,289 --> 00:28:39,570 greatest holiday the celebration of the 710 00:28:46,820 --> 00:28:44,299 stars of Sirius every 60 years but the 711 00:28:49,029 --> 00:28:46,830 anthropologists say that in fact what 712 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:49,039 happens is after 50 years have passed 713 00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:52,530 the Dogon priests find a reason to make 714 00:28:57,500 --> 00:28:54,480 an exception this time and celebrated 715 00:29:00,169 --> 00:28:57,510 after 50 years not after 60 and what 716 00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:00,179 they're disguising is the orbital period 717 00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:02,190 of the two stars this cycle is based on 718 00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:04,919 the orbital period of those stars and so 719 00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:07,380 they tell this little fib and there 720 00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:08,820 aren't very many of their tribes people 721 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:10,409 who live long enough they'd have to have 722 00:29:15,380 --> 00:29:12,960 lived to see 250 years cycles before 723 00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:15,390 they'd realize or get a sense that the 724 00:29:19,610 --> 00:29:18,150 priests were lying to them another one 725 00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:19,620 of those little fibs that come out of 726 00:29:24,740 --> 00:29:21,510 the as representative in the public and 727 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:24,750 private Buddhist tradition is publicly 728 00:29:29,899 --> 00:29:27,090 they say that the processes of creation 729 00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:29,909 are fundamentally unknowable these are 730 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:32,880 things that are so complicated and so 731 00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:35,730 beyond human conception that you would 732 00:29:40,610 --> 00:29:37,260 never be able to get to the bottom of it 733 00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:40,620 you go to esoteric Buddhism the private 734 00:29:44,990 --> 00:29:43,289 Buddhism and they say well yes that's 735 00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:45,000 one of those things we lied about in 736 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:47,880 fact there's a handful of dynamics here 737 00:29:52,820 --> 00:29:50,010 that are really perfectly knowable and 738 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:52,830 the same set of dynamics play out in 739 00:29:56,010 --> 00:29:55,770 parallel on all upward scales even when 740 00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:56,020 you 741 00:30:01,170 --> 00:29:58,570 ten how the dynamics work even things 742 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:01,180 like quantum weirdness you know what 743 00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:02,890 looks like the very weird behavior of 744 00:30:07,470 --> 00:30:04,360 matter where you go from wave door 745 00:30:09,030 --> 00:30:07,480 particle even that completely evaporates 746 00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:09,040 it's not a concern anymore you can 747 00:30:14,340 --> 00:30:11,470 understand why things work that way even 748 00:30:17,670 --> 00:30:14,350 such things as entanglement of particles 749 00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:17,680 that they can use crystals and lasers to 750 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:20,320 induce two or more electrons to become 751 00:30:25,230 --> 00:30:22,210 entangled with each other and when they 752 00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:25,240 do that then it doesn't matter how far 753 00:30:30,090 --> 00:30:27,040 discs that they move those electrons 754 00:30:32,970 --> 00:30:30,100 from each other if they change a quantum 755 00:30:34,620 --> 00:30:32,980 property of one of the electrons there's 756 00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:34,630 an opposite effect with the other 757 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:36,790 electron no matter how far distance 758 00:30:41,490 --> 00:30:39,370 there it's instantaneous as if the two 759 00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:41,500 were one particle not two separate 760 00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:45,520 particles and even those kinds of weird 761 00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:47,710 effects evaporate when you look at 762 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:49,840 things in the way the ancient traditions 763 00:30:55,950 --> 00:30:52,570 look at them oh yeah and I even think it 764 00:30:58,500 --> 00:30:55,960 goes a good way into explaining a lot of 765 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,510 the weirder paranormal type stuff that 766 00:31:02,730 --> 00:31:00,640 we talked about on shows like this yeah 767 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:02,740 I think so too I didn't it opens the 768 00:31:07,250 --> 00:31:05,530 door to having a scientific quality of 769 00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:07,260 understanding of why those things happen 770 00:31:12,450 --> 00:31:10,150 mm-hmm I say that the first thing that a 771 00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:12,460 person in my line of work learns is that 772 00:31:17,550 --> 00:31:14,500 there are things going on that we can't 773 00:31:19,620 --> 00:31:17,560 explain yet but that's really all that's 774 00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:19,630 happening is these are things we can't 775 00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:23,200 explain that not that they are so woowoo 776 00:31:28,260 --> 00:31:25,360 or so far outside the field of science 777 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:28,270 that there isn't an explanation mm-hmm 778 00:31:31,290 --> 00:31:30,130 now let me ask you a weird question 779 00:31:33,390 --> 00:31:31,300 because I got thinking about the 780 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:33,400 universe as this helix of pairs of 781 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:35,530 dimensions and we talk all the time 782 00:31:39,030 --> 00:31:37,090 about the idea of a spirit world 783 00:31:41,010 --> 00:31:39,040 dimension that's sort of paired and 784 00:31:42,870 --> 00:31:41,020 overlaid with this physical dimension 785 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:42,880 and they occasionally bleed into each 786 00:31:46,410 --> 00:31:45,970 other well I'm curious what else is out 787 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:46,420 there 788 00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:51,930 description or anything that alludes to 789 00:31:58,980 --> 00:31:54,880 connecting up or down the helix rather 790 00:32:00,180 --> 00:31:58,990 than just within the pairings no I don't 791 00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:00,190 have any mention of anything like that 792 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:02,710 in any of the traditions I study but 793 00:32:07,190 --> 00:32:04,530 what I do have 794 00:32:09,290 --> 00:32:07,200 is direct representation of the 795 00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:09,300 possibility of being able to move from 796 00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:11,100 the non-dimensional side the less 797 00:32:17,150 --> 00:32:14,190 material side to the more material side 798 00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:17,160 mm-hmm and it's not subtle references 799 00:32:21,710 --> 00:32:18,510 it's right out there in your face 800 00:32:23,330 --> 00:32:21,720 references if you think of I don't know 801 00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:23,340 if you're familiar with the Yuga cycle 802 00:32:27,620 --> 00:32:24,720 yeah okay 803 00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:27,630 the Yuga cycle is around a twenty five 804 00:32:33,530 --> 00:32:29,760 thousand year cycle depending on what 805 00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:33,540 source you consult and so if you divide 806 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:36,420 into two twelve thousand year cycles you 807 00:32:41,050 --> 00:32:39,090 have what's called a descending cycle on 808 00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:41,060 one side think of a big circle a 809 00:32:46,490 --> 00:32:43,710 descending side like a wheel turning a 810 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:46,500 bicycle wheel one side moves down on the 811 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:49,050 other side of the wheel moves up that's 812 00:32:55,130 --> 00:32:52,710 happening with this cycle also now the 813 00:32:58,130 --> 00:32:55,140 side that's descending is becoming more 814 00:33:02,659 --> 00:32:58,140 massive and the side that's a sending is 815 00:33:07,399 --> 00:33:05,180 Stein says that when you increase the 816 00:33:09,830 --> 00:33:07,409 mass of something you slow down its 817 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:09,840 timeframe that's how light is able to 818 00:33:14,149 --> 00:33:12,090 maintain a constant speed because speed 819 00:33:16,879 --> 00:33:14,159 is just the distance you travel by the 820 00:33:20,029 --> 00:33:16,889 time it takes you to travel it ok mass 821 00:33:21,859 --> 00:33:20,039 and acceleration are equivalent so if 822 00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:21,869 you're driving in a car alongside a 823 00:33:26,690 --> 00:33:24,179 train and you accelerate you would 824 00:33:28,669 --> 00:33:26,700 expect to catch up with the Train you 825 00:33:30,889 --> 00:33:28,679 can't do that with light no matter how 826 00:33:32,779 --> 00:33:30,899 fast you go light always is moving the 827 00:33:35,090 --> 00:33:32,789 same speed ahead of you and the only way 828 00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:35,100 that can be true is if time frame slows 829 00:33:41,930 --> 00:33:39,720 down as you speed up hmm so not only do 830 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:41,940 we have mass shifting between these two 831 00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:44,850 universes we also have a change in time 832 00:33:50,930 --> 00:33:48,119 frame in the last material universe time 833 00:33:53,710 --> 00:33:50,940 is quickly and on the material universe 834 00:33:56,299 --> 00:33:53,720 time is slowing down you hear about 835 00:33:58,220 --> 00:33:56,309 astronomers using their telescopes to 836 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:58,230 look way out in the galaxies that form 837 00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:00,480 shortly after the Big Bang and they take 838 00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:01,590 their measurements they do their 839 00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:04,320 calculations and they say hey it looks 840 00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:07,710 as if the speed at which the universe is 841 00:34:11,839 --> 00:34:09,929 expanding is speeding up the rate at 842 00:34:13,730 --> 00:34:11,849 which is expanding is speeding up they 843 00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:13,740 can't figure out how could that be how 844 00:34:19,339 --> 00:34:15,569 can the rate of expansion be speeding up 845 00:34:20,750 --> 00:34:19,349 if you had one explosive event the worst 846 00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:20,760 that should happen is it should slow 847 00:34:26,059 --> 00:34:23,790 down not speed up mm-hmm well what 848 00:34:28,369 --> 00:34:26,069 they're seeing isn't the universe being 849 00:34:31,549 --> 00:34:28,379 up they're seeing the effect of their 850 00:34:33,799 --> 00:34:31,559 own time frame slowing down mm-hmm 851 00:34:36,020 --> 00:34:33,809 and so what looked like it was at one 852 00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:36,030 speed earlier now looks like it's at a 853 00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:38,730 different rate so the essential 854 00:34:42,260 --> 00:34:40,260 difference between these two universes 855 00:34:43,700 --> 00:34:42,270 really rests with their time frame and 856 00:34:45,710 --> 00:34:43,710 if you think of time frame as being like 857 00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:45,720 water pressure or like any kind of 858 00:34:50,569 --> 00:34:48,089 pressure if you go into a space capsule 859 00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:50,579 and out of space there's an extreme 860 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:52,230 difference in pressure between inside 861 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:54,690 the capsule and outside and the only way 862 00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:57,210 you can move from inside to outside is 863 00:35:02,210 --> 00:35:00,480 with an air lock and the air lock lets 864 00:35:04,460 --> 00:35:02,220 you step into a space where you equalize 865 00:35:06,380 --> 00:35:04,470 the pressure with the outside and now 866 00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:06,390 you can safely step out into it not be 867 00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:09,359 exploded out into it hmm 868 00:35:14,059 --> 00:35:11,790 time frame works the same way the 869 00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:14,069 essential difference that is being 870 00:35:16,430 --> 00:35:16,079 represented between these two universes 871 00:35:17,780 --> 00:35:16,440 is 872 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:17,790 difference in time prema when that 873 00:35:21,859 --> 00:35:19,200 difference becomes too great the 874 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:21,869 material side can't see the non material 875 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:25,050 side same way that we're told that fish 876 00:35:28,940 --> 00:35:26,970 can't see us when they look out of an 877 00:35:31,370 --> 00:35:28,950 aquarium that they're in we can see the 878 00:35:32,780 --> 00:35:31,380 end but they can't see out there's the 879 00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:32,790 same effect going on that's what the 880 00:35:38,210 --> 00:35:35,730 Dogon masks are about is conveying the 881 00:35:41,569 --> 00:35:38,220 concept that someone can see us but we 882 00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:41,579 can't see them Trippi and you know you 883 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:43,260 mentioned coming together and moving 884 00:35:45,980 --> 00:35:44,880 apart and I guess this is exactly what 885 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:45,990 you're talking about I hadn't really 886 00:35:50,930 --> 00:35:48,690 considered it in the framework of time 887 00:35:53,390 --> 00:35:50,940 or that time is the mechanism in which 888 00:35:56,170 --> 00:35:53,400 we get out of whack with our paired 889 00:35:59,150 --> 00:35:56,180 dimension but that's really fascinating 890 00:36:02,510 --> 00:35:59,160 simple timeframe may also be the basis 891 00:36:05,059 --> 00:36:02,520 of gravity differences in time frame you 892 00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:05,069 know that if you go take a buoyant 893 00:36:08,780 --> 00:36:06,960 object to the bottom of a swimming pool 894 00:36:12,130 --> 00:36:08,790 and let go of it it's gonna float to the 895 00:36:15,230 --> 00:36:12,140 area of least water pressure mm-hmm 896 00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:15,240 similarly things float to the area of 897 00:36:20,540 --> 00:36:18,000 slowest timeframe and so the more mass 898 00:36:22,490 --> 00:36:20,550 of a body you have the slower its 899 00:36:24,620 --> 00:36:22,500 timeframe is and the difference in time 900 00:36:26,780 --> 00:36:24,630 frame causes orbits it causes them to 901 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:26,790 turn because one side of the object is 902 00:36:30,319 --> 00:36:28,530 moving slightly slower than the other 903 00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:30,329 side of the object is and some turns 904 00:36:33,829 --> 00:36:32,400 they can measure differences in time 905 00:36:38,450 --> 00:36:33,839 frame between your feet in your hands 906 00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:38,460 when you stand on floor huh and so my 907 00:36:43,099 --> 00:36:40,800 perspective is is that gravity is very 908 00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:43,109 much like what a pressure only you're 909 00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:44,400 dealing with time frame not with 910 00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:48,720 pressure Wow and you know this just is 911 00:36:53,750 --> 00:36:50,910 not some where I plan to go and I know 912 00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:53,760 your expertise is not necessarily in 913 00:36:57,859 --> 00:36:56,250 like anti-gravity crafts or 914 00:37:00,589 --> 00:36:57,869 electrogravitic crest but there's been 915 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:00,599 plenty of real people who seem to have 916 00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:01,890 discovered this kind of stuff like 917 00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:04,740 Thomas Townsend Brown and potentially 918 00:37:10,670 --> 00:37:08,069 elements of the Nazi Party but I guess I 919 00:37:13,819 --> 00:37:10,680 would wonder how this would come into 920 00:37:16,819 --> 00:37:13,829 play with that type of craft I mean 921 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:16,829 sometimes people lump in time with those 922 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:19,170 things or time-travel with those types 923 00:37:24,089 --> 00:37:22,170 of experiences but I guess it's very 924 00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:24,099 related it 925 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:26,079 now if you imagine that the essential 926 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:28,930 difference is timeframe during this Yuga 927 00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:30,970 cycle as one sized descending in the 928 00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:33,609 other side's ascending if you think of 929 00:37:41,069 --> 00:37:36,730 that as a great year which is how it's 930 00:37:43,230 --> 00:37:41,079 described in the traditions in India the 931 00:37:46,289 --> 00:37:43,240 point at which those timeframes equalize 932 00:37:50,039 --> 00:37:46,299 is the equinoxes of the year hmm 933 00:37:51,779 --> 00:37:50,049 now this is why so many important 934 00:37:55,019 --> 00:37:51,789 holidays fall at the equinox the 935 00:37:57,660 --> 00:37:55,029 Buddhists say that this esoteric 936 00:37:59,970 --> 00:37:57,670 tradition was an instructed tradition 937 00:38:02,819 --> 00:37:59,980 that was given to them by a nonhuman 938 00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:02,829 source the Dogon go farther they say not 939 00:38:08,130 --> 00:38:04,480 only it was a nonhuman that was also 940 00:38:10,049 --> 00:38:08,140 originally non material right well if 941 00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:10,059 you imagine these timeframes shifting 942 00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:11,920 then it reaches a point at the center 943 00:38:16,349 --> 00:38:13,990 when you have as much sand on both sides 944 00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:16,359 of the hourglass where the pressure on 945 00:38:20,549 --> 00:38:18,160 both sides is the same the time frame is 946 00:38:22,829 --> 00:38:20,559 the same and at that point it becomes 947 00:38:24,359 --> 00:38:22,839 theoretically possible to move from one 948 00:38:25,980 --> 00:38:24,369 to the other like you move out of an 949 00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:25,990 airlock into outer space or out of an 950 00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:29,950 airlock into a submarine hmm to support 951 00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:33,730 that idea the Egyptian word for Equinox 952 00:38:39,299 --> 00:38:36,430 was Kepler Kepler was the name of the 953 00:38:41,549 --> 00:38:39,309 dung beetle who represented the concept 954 00:38:45,509 --> 00:38:41,559 of non-existence coming into existence 955 00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:45,519 in Judaism one of the holidays at the 956 00:38:53,020 --> 00:38:50,990 equinox is Yom Kippur or Yom Kippur 957 00:38:55,470 --> 00:38:53,030 at the other equinoxes and Judy's and 958 00:38:58,930 --> 00:38:55,480 they celebrate a holiday called Passover 959 00:39:03,190 --> 00:38:58,940 now a traditional Passover Seder ends 960 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:03,200 with the opening of a door to allow and 961 00:39:09,010 --> 00:39:05,570 imagine non-material somebody named 962 00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:09,020 Eliyahu tenter so they're physically 963 00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:11,089 acting out the thing I'm saying that the 964 00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:13,910 ancient traditions say happens yeah that 965 00:39:17,710 --> 00:39:14,960 is so fascinating 966 00:39:19,780 --> 00:39:17,720 and so if we try to put ourselves in 967 00:39:22,150 --> 00:39:19,790 this cycle of course a lot of people are 968 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:22,160 talking about that 12,000 years ago 969 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:26,210 Younger Dryas many Ice Age era where are 970 00:39:31,390 --> 00:39:28,730 we how do we orient ourselves in the 971 00:39:33,130 --> 00:39:31,400 Yuga cycle are we on the ramp up well 972 00:39:36,099 --> 00:39:33,140 the traditional view is there were about 973 00:39:39,089 --> 00:39:36,109 twelve hundred years up the ascending 974 00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:39,099 side that we passed the lowest point and 975 00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:42,430 that we're now on the way back up but 976 00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:45,560 many many different references that I've 977 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:49,310 been coming across many different 978 00:39:54,790 --> 00:39:50,450 effects that have been happening 979 00:39:56,670 --> 00:39:54,800 recently imply to me that we are just 980 00:40:00,220 --> 00:39:56,680 now past the lowest point of the cycle 981 00:40:01,780 --> 00:40:00,230 hmm and that means 12,000 years ago we 982 00:40:04,780 --> 00:40:01,790 would have been just past the high point 983 00:40:06,910 --> 00:40:04,790 of the cycle interesting well it 984 00:40:08,890 --> 00:40:06,920 definitely seems like we're at some kind 985 00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:08,900 of pivotal point maybe that's just the 986 00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:11,150 nature of existence that you always kind 987 00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:13,910 of think you're self-important but it 988 00:40:17,740 --> 00:40:15,710 seems like whether you want to call it 989 00:40:21,370 --> 00:40:17,750 novelty like Terence Mckenna might have 990 00:40:23,470 --> 00:40:21,380 or just the spectrum of change and 991 00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:23,480 heightened emotions it seems like this 992 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:25,730 is a period where something energetic is 993 00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:29,930 going on yes and from a cosmology point 994 00:40:34,990 --> 00:40:31,790 of view ancient cosmology point of view 995 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:35,000 we're in the midst of major energetic 996 00:40:39,130 --> 00:40:37,609 reversals we're at the point where there 997 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:39,140 are two reversals that happen in this 998 00:40:43,060 --> 00:40:41,570 dynamic of the dipole there's one where 999 00:40:45,550 --> 00:40:43,070 the energies come together and then 1000 00:40:47,770 --> 00:40:45,560 start to move apart and there's another 1001 00:40:50,980 --> 00:40:47,780 one where the energies are apart and 1002 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:50,990 start to move together now in the 1003 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:54,010 descriptions that are given in India 1004 00:41:00,310 --> 00:40:58,130 they talk about two circumstances that 1005 00:41:01,839 --> 00:41:00,320 happen with energy they actually explain 1006 00:41:03,099 --> 00:41:01,849 it in terms of consciousness one is 1007 00:41:04,839 --> 00:41:03,109 where 1008 00:41:07,210 --> 00:41:04,849 consciousness becomes aware of itself 1009 00:41:08,410 --> 00:41:07,220 that's where the two energies are one 1010 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:08,420 thing and they'd suddenly start to 1011 00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:11,890 become to the other circumstances when 1012 00:41:17,109 --> 00:41:14,390 one energy is attracted to another 1013 00:41:18,999 --> 00:41:17,119 energy one consciousness attracted to 1014 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:19,009 another consciousness and that's the 1015 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:21,170 other extreme of the dipole where the 1016 00:41:24,910 --> 00:41:22,730 two separated energies are coming back 1017 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:24,920 together again and that oscillation goes 1018 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:27,650 on and on and on back and forth without 1019 00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:29,450 any indication of how many times it 1020 00:41:34,930 --> 00:41:31,609 might have happened I have friends who 1021 00:41:37,479 --> 00:41:34,940 are more spiritually connected than I am 1022 00:41:40,839 --> 00:41:37,489 a more connected non-material than I am 1023 00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:40,849 who say that besides that simple dynamic 1024 00:41:45,339 --> 00:41:42,470 of the energy coming together moving 1025 00:41:47,650 --> 00:41:45,349 apart these universes actually progress 1026 00:41:49,989 --> 00:41:47,660 over time it's not that all seven pairs 1027 00:41:52,420 --> 00:41:49,999 of universe exist at once just as 1028 00:41:55,299 --> 00:41:52,430 certain traditions talk about the 1029 00:41:57,309 --> 00:41:55,309 beginning of a new age that these pairs 1030 00:42:00,249 --> 00:41:57,319 of universes work the same way and that 1031 00:42:02,460 --> 00:42:00,259 the reversal of energy is facilitating 1032 00:42:06,970 --> 00:42:02,470 the movement to the next stage of it 1033 00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:06,980 mm-hmm Wow man so you're blowing my mind 1034 00:42:12,489 --> 00:42:10,640 but if our pair is one realm of say 1035 00:42:15,249 --> 00:42:12,499 perfect knowledge and the inability to 1036 00:42:17,019 --> 00:42:15,259 act and one of imperfect knowledge and 1037 00:42:18,999 --> 00:42:17,029 the full ability to act is I've heard 1038 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:19,009 you express it I feel like that's just a 1039 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:21,170 really succinct way to say it when these 1040 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:22,640 cultures say they got their knowledge 1041 00:42:26,380 --> 00:42:24,890 from a non human or non material source 1042 00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:26,390 this is probably what they mean and that 1043 00:42:30,819 --> 00:42:28,789 brings me back to gobekli tepe because 1044 00:42:33,069 --> 00:42:30,829 in this latest book you write that the 1045 00:42:35,319 --> 00:42:33,079 egyptians had a name for the region 1046 00:42:40,089 --> 00:42:35,329 where gobekli tepe is and it could be 1047 00:42:42,789 --> 00:42:40,099 translated as pet pet kaya or temple of 1048 00:42:44,859 --> 00:42:42,799 space embracing light and you suggest 1049 00:42:47,979 --> 00:42:44,869 that it was a sanctuary used to 1050 00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:47,989 facilitate the instruction of material 1051 00:42:52,420 --> 00:42:50,089 beans by capable knowledgeable non 1052 00:42:54,759 --> 00:42:52,430 material beans can you elaborate on that 1053 00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:54,769 and how this might have been facilitated 1054 00:42:58,549 --> 00:42:55,920 there 1055 00:43:01,099 --> 00:42:58,559 yes and the motivation for doing that is 1056 00:43:02,420 --> 00:43:01,109 really where the rationale is based on 1057 00:43:03,799 --> 00:43:02,430 that motivation if you understand the 1058 00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:03,809 motivation it's easier to understand 1059 00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:06,420 what happened mm-hmm in the cycle of 1060 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:08,910 time frame quickening on one universe 1061 00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:11,210 and slowing down and the other universe 1062 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:13,440 ultimately reaches a point in the 1063 00:43:17,329 --> 00:43:14,970 non-material universe at less mature 1064 00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:17,339 universe where time frame is moving so 1065 00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:20,640 quickly so ultra quickly that there's no 1066 00:43:25,489 --> 00:43:22,109 coherent moment in which to take an 1067 00:43:28,489 --> 00:43:25,499 action and so all events essentially 1068 00:43:30,410 --> 00:43:28,499 happen at once and that's the concept of 1069 00:43:33,079 --> 00:43:30,420 having perfect knowledge of everything 1070 00:43:35,420 --> 00:43:33,089 but no moment of time in which to take 1071 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:35,430 action and so with a person there's an 1072 00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:37,650 equivalent state that a person can be in 1073 00:43:43,579 --> 00:43:41,460 it's called locked-in syndrome there's a 1074 00:43:45,190 --> 00:43:43,589 famous book that was made into a film 1075 00:43:48,499 --> 00:43:45,200 called the diving bell and the butterfly 1076 00:43:50,779 --> 00:43:48,509 it was written by a Frenchman who was at 1077 00:43:52,970 --> 00:43:50,789 the wheel of his car and suffered a 1078 00:43:54,829 --> 00:43:52,980 stroke and had a car accident and they 1079 00:43:57,950 --> 00:43:54,839 thought he was brain dead and they took 1080 00:43:59,839 --> 00:43:57,960 him home to care for him and he could 1081 00:44:01,339 --> 00:43:59,849 still blink his eyes but they thought 1082 00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:01,349 that was just a reflex movement they 1083 00:44:04,670 --> 00:44:02,400 didn't think there was anything to that 1084 00:44:06,170 --> 00:44:04,680 in truth he was still perfectly 1085 00:44:08,569 --> 00:44:06,180 conscious inside there but it was like 1086 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:08,579 being buried alive because nobody knew 1087 00:44:14,630 --> 00:44:09,930 he was in there they thought he was 1088 00:44:17,809 --> 00:44:14,640 brain dead so he managed to convey to a 1089 00:44:19,009 --> 00:44:17,819 very attentive aide that he was still in 1090 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:19,019 there she noticed that there was a 1091 00:44:23,299 --> 00:44:21,930 pattern to his eye blinks and she 1092 00:44:24,979 --> 00:44:23,309 figured out that he was self fully 1093 00:44:26,569 --> 00:44:24,989 conscious inside there and she worked up 1094 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:26,579 a system of eye blinks to indicate 1095 00:44:30,529 --> 00:44:28,650 letters and he ended up writing this 1096 00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:30,539 entire book one letter at a time 1097 00:44:37,130 --> 00:44:34,710 with her help huh well the non-material 1098 00:44:40,009 --> 00:44:37,140 verses like that because about a third 1099 00:44:42,289 --> 00:44:40,019 of the way into the cycle they figure 1100 00:44:43,999 --> 00:44:42,299 out that where these changes in time 1101 00:44:45,799 --> 00:44:44,009 frame are leading is to a situation 1102 00:44:48,829 --> 00:44:45,809 that's just like locked-in syndrome 1103 00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:48,839 would be for a person it's a state of 1104 00:44:53,420 --> 00:44:50,730 perfect consciousness where you can't 1105 00:44:56,450 --> 00:44:53,430 move and it's like being buried alive if 1106 00:44:57,799 --> 00:44:56,460 you don't have an aide who can move who 1107 00:45:00,739 --> 00:44:57,809 knows you're in there and who can 1108 00:45:03,829 --> 00:45:00,749 interpret for you it's a horrific state 1109 00:45:05,329 --> 00:45:03,839 to be in and so the way the Yuga cycle 1110 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:05,339 works is at the point where the 1111 00:45:11,829 --> 00:45:08,690 ascending side is least material 1112 00:45:13,150 --> 00:45:11,839 the descending side is most removed from 1113 00:45:16,089 --> 00:45:13,160 even understanding that the non-material 1114 00:45:17,770 --> 00:45:16,099 is even there that our ability to 1115 00:45:20,140 --> 00:45:17,780 perceive the non-material becomes less 1116 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:20,150 and less and less and less so just at 1117 00:45:24,700 --> 00:45:21,890 the point the denominator side needs us 1118 00:45:27,099 --> 00:45:24,710 most the material side is least able to 1119 00:45:29,319 --> 00:45:27,109 even know that they're there and so 1120 00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:29,329 about a third of the way to the cycle 1121 00:45:33,970 --> 00:45:31,910 the non-material decides if I'm going to 1122 00:45:36,430 --> 00:45:33,980 have a compatriot when I'm locked in I 1123 00:45:38,890 --> 00:45:36,440 need to establish a structure for 1124 00:45:40,450 --> 00:45:38,900 society on the material side that will 1125 00:45:44,829 --> 00:45:40,460 preserve the knowledge of the fact that 1126 00:45:47,140 --> 00:45:44,839 I'm here hmm and so the symbolic system 1127 00:45:49,059 --> 00:45:47,150 comes around framed in a way where the 1128 00:45:51,790 --> 00:45:49,069 hope is that it will retain its 1129 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:51,800 coherency for thousands and thousands of 1130 00:45:56,980 --> 00:45:54,890 years and at the same time the esoteric 1131 00:45:59,079 --> 00:45:56,990 tradition sort of selectively filters 1132 00:46:01,569 --> 00:45:59,089 out sincere caretakers a group of 1133 00:46:03,819 --> 00:46:01,579 sincere people who are attuned to the 1134 00:46:07,390 --> 00:46:03,829 non-material who can act as responsible 1135 00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:07,400 caretakers for the non-material huh so 1136 00:46:12,430 --> 00:46:10,250 in the mindset of samkhya there are a 1137 00:46:13,930 --> 00:46:12,440 routine attempts being made by the Nama 1138 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:13,940 to decide to communicate with the 1139 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:16,130 material side all the time yes and they 1140 00:46:22,300 --> 00:46:19,040 come in the form of vivid images and 1141 00:46:23,530 --> 00:46:22,310 dreams synchronicities or what look to 1142 00:46:26,470 --> 00:46:23,540 us like synchronicities you know 1143 00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:26,480 coincidences the unusual behavior of 1144 00:46:30,660 --> 00:46:28,250 animals 1145 00:46:34,450 --> 00:46:30,670 nation like during the eating 1146 00:46:37,330 --> 00:46:34,460 clairvoyance ii and all the paranormal 1147 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:37,340 type ways of knowing things that science 1148 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:41,210 doesn't recognize sure now the more a 1149 00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:42,650 person on the material side pays 1150 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:45,020 attention to those after a while you may 1151 00:46:47,770 --> 00:46:46,490 if you've experienced some of these 1152 00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:47,780 things you may reach a point where you 1153 00:46:51,490 --> 00:46:50,150 feel like that could not have possibly 1154 00:46:53,260 --> 00:46:51,500 been a coincidence 1155 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:53,270 what just happened or what has been 1156 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:55,490 happening it isn't reasonably considered 1157 00:46:59,530 --> 00:46:57,290 a coincidence there's too little chance 1158 00:47:02,020 --> 00:46:59,540 it could happen and the people who pay 1159 00:47:05,020 --> 00:47:02,030 attention to that and credit that there 1160 00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:05,030 might be something else going on foster 1161 00:47:08,740 --> 00:47:06,920 it for themselves 1162 00:47:10,330 --> 00:47:08,750 another metaphor I use let's say you 1163 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:10,340 were from Eastern Europe and you 1164 00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:11,930 attended a party in New York City and 1165 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:14,510 you didn't speak English but about a 1166 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:16,130 third of the way into the party you 1167 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:17,570 realized there was some guy over in the 1168 00:47:20,860 --> 00:47:19,610 corner who sort of spoke Ukrainian and 1169 00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:20,870 you knew a little bit you crane Ian 1170 00:47:24,730 --> 00:47:23,150 you'd go over and spend the rest of 1171 00:47:25,750 --> 00:47:24,740 evening next to that guy hoping to be 1172 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:25,760 able to communicate with it 1173 00:47:31,090 --> 00:47:29,090 that's what the non-material does as it 1174 00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:31,100 becomes aware of the fact that someone 1175 00:47:35,860 --> 00:47:33,200 on the material side is taking these 1176 00:47:37,780 --> 00:47:35,870 attempts at communication seriously they 1177 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:37,790 try to foster them the same way you and 1178 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:40,370 I might try to foster a spark to light a 1179 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:44,450 campfire I love it man absolutely and 1180 00:47:51,550 --> 00:47:47,890 it's just makes so many strange things 1181 00:47:54,130 --> 00:47:51,560 sound kind of normalized like when you 1182 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:54,140 say the time differential between the 1183 00:47:59,320 --> 00:47:56,810 two realities leaves non-material beans 1184 00:48:01,960 --> 00:47:59,330 no clear moment to act I mean that is 1185 00:48:04,870 --> 00:48:01,970 just so in line with what I hear from 1186 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:04,880 even magic practitioners who partake in 1187 00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:07,370 ritual and try to contact spiritual 1188 00:48:12,430 --> 00:48:10,400 entities is they often say that they 1189 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:12,440 might ask for something and it comes to 1190 00:48:16,930 --> 00:48:14,930 them in a strange form or at a time 1191 00:48:18,910 --> 00:48:16,940 depth that is nowhere near when they 1192 00:48:21,460 --> 00:48:18,920 asked or how they asked and it almost 1193 00:48:24,190 --> 00:48:21,470 does seem just like that like you might 1194 00:48:25,630 --> 00:48:24,200 make a plea to a spirit and the spirit 1195 00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:25,640 might be willing to help but it just 1196 00:48:30,370 --> 00:48:28,250 comes out in 20 years rather than 20 1197 00:48:33,460 --> 00:48:30,380 days and it's just like I guess this 1198 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:33,470 would explain why that happens right I 1199 00:48:36,220 --> 00:48:34,970 mean it could potentially explain a lot 1200 00:48:38,860 --> 00:48:36,230 of different things if we have shifting 1201 00:48:40,750 --> 00:48:38,870 timeframes the astrophysicists say that 1202 00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:40,760 certain particles of matter only exists 1203 00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:42,800 for microns of a second a millionth of a 1204 00:48:48,070 --> 00:48:45,710 second and that it looks to them as if 1205 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:48,080 certain things are random my perspective 1206 00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:50,090 on that based on the dynamics that 1207 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:52,250 underlie all this stuff is no those are 1208 00:48:56,590 --> 00:48:54,530 not random but they happen so quickly 1209 00:48:57,970 --> 00:48:56,600 that we don't have a tool refined enough 1210 00:49:00,250 --> 00:48:57,980 to measure it it's like trying to 1211 00:49:02,380 --> 00:49:00,260 measure millimeters with a yardstick 1212 00:49:04,060 --> 00:49:02,390 that if you're trying to predict where 1213 00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:04,070 along the yardstick this thing's going 1214 00:49:06,850 --> 00:49:05,510 to pop up you don't have a tool we're 1215 00:49:09,010 --> 00:49:06,860 fine enough to be able to predict it and 1216 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:09,020 so everything looks like it's random 1217 00:49:12,910 --> 00:49:10,370 because you're miss guessing all the 1218 00:49:14,890 --> 00:49:12,920 time as to where it's going to be I can 1219 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:14,900 even imagine that during certain eras 1220 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:17,090 that if the denominator we're trying to 1221 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:19,610 take action on the material side there 1222 00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:20,640 might be a 1223 00:49:25,490 --> 00:49:23,369 length of time in any given area that 1224 00:49:30,019 --> 00:49:25,500 they could access so now if you're 1225 00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:30,029 trying to use energy to shape stone you 1226 00:49:34,009 --> 00:49:31,440 might not be able to shape a stone 1227 00:49:37,130 --> 00:49:34,019 smaller than 700 tons in the amount of 1228 00:49:38,359 --> 00:49:37,140 time you've got so over time what we see 1229 00:49:40,309 --> 00:49:38,369 happen with these ancient stone 1230 00:49:43,370 --> 00:49:40,319 structures is that what started out as 1231 00:49:45,140 --> 00:49:43,380 these intensely large blocks of stone 1232 00:49:46,759 --> 00:49:45,150 that why in the world would anybody how 1233 00:49:48,529 --> 00:49:46,769 could they have moved it why would they 1234 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:48,539 have you and worked with it the 1235 00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:50,400 perspective of an engineer I know is 1236 00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:52,500 that you would only build something out 1237 00:49:58,789 --> 00:49:54,510 of 700 ton blocks if that were the 1238 00:50:00,410 --> 00:49:58,799 easiest way to build it hmm or if you 1239 00:50:04,279 --> 00:50:00,420 were doing that for a particular effect 1240 00:50:05,930 --> 00:50:04,289 yeah so there are lots of different 1241 00:50:08,359 --> 00:50:05,940 indications of time frame I mean you 1242 00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:08,369 have certain events happen like the 1243 00:50:12,620 --> 00:50:10,529 appearance of the Hebrew God on the 1244 00:50:14,750 --> 00:50:12,630 mountain certain events like that that 1245 00:50:17,450 --> 00:50:14,760 seem to happen only in increments of 1246 00:50:19,609 --> 00:50:17,460 about 1500 years you know that might 1247 00:50:21,980 --> 00:50:19,619 simply be at that stage of the game what 1248 00:50:23,390 --> 00:50:21,990 travel time that was the minimum amount 1249 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:23,400 of time they can get back and do the 1250 00:50:26,450 --> 00:50:24,930 next thing mm-hmm 1251 00:50:27,859 --> 00:50:26,460 if you have timeframe flowing at 1252 00:50:28,999 --> 00:50:27,869 different rates on both sides if it's 1253 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:29,009 going much more quickly on the other 1254 00:50:34,460 --> 00:50:31,170 side it's like trying to catch a stick 1255 00:50:35,690 --> 00:50:34,470 that's floating down a river huh it's 1256 00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:35,700 gonna move a certain distance before you 1257 00:50:40,970 --> 00:50:38,670 able to grab it yeah I just I really do 1258 00:50:42,589 --> 00:50:40,980 love getting into what the interactions 1259 00:50:44,569 --> 00:50:42,599 between the spirit world and this one 1260 00:50:46,910 --> 00:50:44,579 might be like I didn't expect us to get 1261 00:50:50,660 --> 00:50:46,920 into it so much today honestly but I do 1262 00:50:52,670 --> 00:50:50,670 love it and it kind of justifies I mean 1263 00:50:55,069 --> 00:50:52,680 you mentioned earlier that it could be 1264 00:50:58,460 --> 00:50:55,079 like feeling as if you're buried alive 1265 00:51:00,529 --> 00:50:58,470 and we do have these threads where the 1266 00:51:03,079 --> 00:51:00,539 archetype of a trickster being is thrown 1267 00:51:05,089 --> 00:51:03,089 out there or this idea that the spirits 1268 00:51:08,180 --> 00:51:05,099 have disdain for man or there are 1269 00:51:09,950 --> 00:51:08,190 jealous angels I mean this is kind of 1270 00:51:12,410 --> 00:51:09,960 like a grass is always greener kind of 1271 00:51:14,539 --> 00:51:12,420 thing I'm like whichever realm you're in 1272 00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:14,549 you're like man that one seems like the 1273 00:51:18,170 --> 00:51:16,049 higher plane because we say that over 1274 00:51:20,299 --> 00:51:18,180 here to a lot of people think the spirit 1275 00:51:23,420 --> 00:51:20,309 dimension is a higher dimension rather 1276 00:51:25,339 --> 00:51:23,430 than a parallel one right and in the 1277 00:51:27,559 --> 00:51:25,349 mindset of this tradition it's eye to 1278 00:51:30,349 --> 00:51:27,569 eye these are siblings too described as 1279 00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:30,359 companion to walk side by side as a 1280 00:51:34,220 --> 00:51:32,730 matter of fact if you get down to the 1281 00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:34,230 bottom of the concept of a cub 1282 00:51:40,910 --> 00:51:37,710 in Judaism what it brings you to is the 1283 00:51:42,710 --> 00:51:40,920 idea of these two universes who go 1284 00:51:44,870 --> 00:51:42,720 through this perpetual cycle where one 1285 00:51:46,550 --> 00:51:44,880 has to train the other as its caretaker 1286 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:46,560 eventually because it knows it's gonna 1287 00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:49,530 need it ah and so there's this 1288 00:51:55,190 --> 00:51:52,680 understanding that since we reach all 1289 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:55,200 the other one has as these roles shift 1290 00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:56,490 we're each going to do for the other one 1291 00:52:00,020 --> 00:51:58,290 we're gonna play our own role and 1292 00:52:02,030 --> 00:52:00,030 whatever stage of the cycle we're in 1293 00:52:03,980 --> 00:52:02,040 either to be the caretaker to be the 1294 00:52:07,609 --> 00:52:03,990 trainer and it goes on like that and 1295 00:52:09,830 --> 00:52:07,619 that's a perpetual covenant Wow that 1296 00:52:12,349 --> 00:52:09,840 seems like a pretty awesome thing to 1297 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:12,359 have baked into reality but to bring it 1298 00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:15,210 back to gobekli tepe I know that also in 1299 00:52:20,570 --> 00:52:18,000 your book the mystery of skara brae you 1300 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:20,580 talked about this megalithic site in 1301 00:52:25,070 --> 00:52:22,770 Scotland and that it's maybe somewhat 1302 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:25,080 similar but when when the people left 1303 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:27,810 Orkney Island it was buried just like 1304 00:52:32,780 --> 00:52:30,450 gobekli tepe was buried I guess I'm 1305 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:32,790 curious as to why that might be why 1306 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:36,450 these stewards of this knowledge would 1307 00:52:41,970 --> 00:52:39,370 decide to bury it 1308 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:41,980 everything is symbolism there is an 1309 00:52:47,870 --> 00:52:44,410 Egyptian word that means to cover over 1310 00:52:50,130 --> 00:52:47,880 or to bury it's pronounced ark 1311 00:52:52,190 --> 00:52:50,140 phonetically that could either be a RQ 1312 00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:52,200 or a RK depending on how it's 1313 00:53:02,340 --> 00:52:56,710 transliterated symbolically what the 1314 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:02,350 word presents is it repeats the dynamic 1315 00:53:05,940 --> 00:53:03,970 of a tradition that happens everyday in 1316 00:53:08,940 --> 00:53:05,950 a Jewish temple and a Jewish temple what 1317 00:53:11,580 --> 00:53:08,950 happens is every Jewish temple anywhere 1318 00:53:14,340 --> 00:53:11,590 in the world is reading the same portion 1319 00:53:17,340 --> 00:53:14,350 of the Old Testament it's written on a 1320 00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:17,350 Torah scroll on the same day and over 1321 00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:18,730 the course of the year they read the 1322 00:53:23,130 --> 00:53:21,730 entire scroll and so they always forward 1323 00:53:24,810 --> 00:53:23,140 to the next portion they're always all 1324 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:24,820 on the same portion it doesn't matter 1325 00:53:28,110 --> 00:53:26,410 what temple you walk into you're going 1326 00:53:29,470 --> 00:53:28,120 to hear the correct portion for that day 1327 00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:29,480 of the year 1328 00:53:34,930 --> 00:53:32,329 when they finish reading that section 1329 00:53:38,079 --> 00:53:34,940 which is treated as an instructed lesson 1330 00:53:41,980 --> 00:53:38,089 they then cover the Torah scroll over 1331 00:53:45,089 --> 00:53:41,990 and set it inside a cabinet to protect 1332 00:53:47,589 --> 00:53:45,099 it that's called a narone ha'qodesh 1333 00:53:50,950 --> 00:53:47,599 that's a phrase that gets abbreviated to 1334 00:53:53,230 --> 00:53:50,960 arc symbolically what they're doing with 1335 00:53:56,230 --> 00:53:53,240 these templates is sanctuary sites when 1336 00:53:59,650 --> 00:53:56,240 they cover them over is that they're 1337 00:54:01,870 --> 00:53:59,660 saying look the instructional purpose of 1338 00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:01,880 this site was brought to completion and 1339 00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:04,160 to demonstrate that we've carefully 1340 00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:05,839 covered it over it didn't accidentally 1341 00:54:09,310 --> 00:54:07,400 get abandoned midway through we didn't 1342 00:54:10,599 --> 00:54:09,320 get interrupted you can see that we 1343 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:10,609 finished what we were doing because we 1344 00:54:15,010 --> 00:54:12,410 carefully covered it over and put it 1345 00:54:18,450 --> 00:54:15,020 away for someone else to find at a later 1346 00:54:20,260 --> 00:54:18,460 point also understanding that the 1347 00:54:22,060 --> 00:54:20,270 information that's in the esoteric 1348 00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:22,070 tradition is aimed at a highly 1349 00:54:28,510 --> 00:54:25,730 technological audience rests on Buddhism 1350 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:28,520 flatly says it rests on symbols that 1351 00:54:32,140 --> 00:54:30,650 really only a technical audience is 1352 00:54:34,420 --> 00:54:32,150 going to be able to see these are forms 1353 00:54:37,569 --> 00:54:34,430 that exist in nature like the shape of 1354 00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:37,579 an electron orbit or the dynamic of 1355 00:54:42,490 --> 00:54:40,520 virtual particles only a technological 1356 00:54:44,380 --> 00:54:42,500 society is going to recognize these for 1357 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:44,390 what they are but when they see them 1358 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:45,650 they're gonna immediately know that's 1359 00:54:49,450 --> 00:54:47,690 what it is he can't not capable of 1360 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:49,460 losing meaning for an electron orbit 1361 00:54:54,579 --> 00:54:52,130 shape these are called adequate symbols 1362 00:54:57,940 --> 00:54:54,589 symbols that whose meaning in here is in 1363 00:55:00,099 --> 00:54:57,950 their shape so because it's aimed at the 1364 00:55:02,109 --> 00:55:00,109 future audience covering over these 1365 00:55:04,359 --> 00:55:02,119 sites was a productive thing because 1366 00:55:06,819 --> 00:55:04,369 that also would preserve them for that 1367 00:55:08,650 --> 00:55:06,829 same future audience covering over the 1368 00:55:10,450 --> 00:55:08,660 gobekli tepe site protected all the 1369 00:55:13,300 --> 00:55:10,460 carvings and protected this don't work 1370 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:13,310 right we come along and we dig it up and 1371 00:55:16,660 --> 00:55:15,770 now we have almost perfect examples of 1372 00:55:17,980 --> 00:55:16,670 what they've done because I've been 1373 00:55:20,890 --> 00:55:17,990 sitting there buried for thousands of 1374 00:55:22,569 --> 00:55:20,900 years yeah same thing on Orkney Island 1375 00:55:24,970 --> 00:55:22,579 the site's there were covered over 1376 00:55:27,460 --> 00:55:24,980 buried in some cases deliberately but 1377 00:55:30,460 --> 00:55:27,470 with the Orkney sites they also left 1378 00:55:32,859 --> 00:55:30,470 symbols along with the Buried site for 1379 00:55:36,610 --> 00:55:32,869 example just before they abandoned 1380 00:55:40,060 --> 00:55:36,620 Orkney island they held a major feast 1381 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:40,070 these were farmers who also had cattle 1382 00:55:44,890 --> 00:55:42,290 and sheep and if they knew they were 1383 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:44,900 leaving the island rather than leaving 1384 00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:46,970 the livestock behind to die of 1385 00:55:51,310 --> 00:55:49,520 starvation or leaving them to their own 1386 00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:51,320 devices they ended up slaughtering about 1387 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:53,510 400 of them for this feast 1388 00:55:59,140 --> 00:55:56,210 now when the feast was done they left 1389 00:56:02,920 --> 00:55:59,150 bones all around the side of the feast 1390 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:02,930 but not just any bones they left just 1391 00:56:08,290 --> 00:56:05,570 the tibias these are leg bones mm-hmm 1392 00:56:11,170 --> 00:56:08,300 they got said all around the site well 1393 00:56:12,850 --> 00:56:11,180 an Egyptian word for leg bone it's 1394 00:56:15,070 --> 00:56:12,860 pronounced just the same way as an 1395 00:56:19,210 --> 00:56:15,080 Egyptian word that means to depart in 1396 00:56:22,870 --> 00:56:19,220 haste or to depart under duress ah they 1397 00:56:25,180 --> 00:56:22,880 also left the carcass of a deer across 1398 00:56:28,540 --> 00:56:25,190 the top of the Buried site an intact 1399 00:56:31,060 --> 00:56:28,550 carcass that also implies to leave under 1400 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:31,070 duress because he had to leave so were 1401 00:56:35,110 --> 00:56:32,690 left with the impression that they knew 1402 00:56:38,170 --> 00:56:35,120 they had to leave but it wasn't so 1403 00:56:40,270 --> 00:56:38,180 urgent it wasn't like there were enemy 1404 00:56:43,510 --> 00:56:40,280 soldiers on their doorstep they had time 1405 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:43,520 to have a feast hmm then there was a 1406 00:56:48,460 --> 00:56:46,010 third piece of it they left cow or a 1407 00:56:51,340 --> 00:56:48,470 bull skull on top of that hole buried 1408 00:56:52,750 --> 00:56:51,350 site which carried another message about 1409 00:56:54,850 --> 00:56:52,760 what it was they were doing and why they 1410 00:56:56,410 --> 00:56:54,860 were doing it and that's a technique 1411 00:56:57,610 --> 00:56:56,420 that's used in ancient times fairly 1412 00:57:00,580 --> 00:56:57,620 frequently that they leave behind 1413 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:00,590 symbolic elements and if you find out 1414 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:02,090 how the words were pronounced for those 1415 00:57:06,220 --> 00:57:04,130 symbolic elements it tells you something 1416 00:57:07,630 --> 00:57:06,230 it's the same way dream interpretation 1417 00:57:09,220 --> 00:57:07,640 can work 1418 00:57:12,700 --> 00:57:09,230 there's a dynamic between the 1419 00:57:14,650 --> 00:57:12,710 non-material and the material its unity 1420 00:57:16,630 --> 00:57:14,660 to multiplicity you every ancient 1421 00:57:18,490 --> 00:57:16,640 tradition says that that the 1422 00:57:22,180 --> 00:57:18,500 non-material is associated with unity 1423 00:57:25,270 --> 00:57:22,190 which is entanglement and the material 1424 00:57:28,180 --> 00:57:25,280 is associated with multiplicity so every 1425 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:28,190 atom is like a subdivision of a grande 1426 00:57:33,070 --> 00:57:31,130 non material source and every individual 1427 00:57:35,710 --> 00:57:33,080 consciousness is like a subdivision of a 1428 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:35,720 grande material consciousness that same 1429 00:57:41,860 --> 00:57:38,330 dynamic is seen if you shine quite light 1430 00:57:45,220 --> 00:57:41,870 into a prism you get the seven colours 1431 00:57:47,020 --> 00:57:45,230 of a rainbow that is the dynamic across 1432 00:57:49,300 --> 00:57:47,030 this threshold between non material 1433 00:57:51,700 --> 00:57:49,310 material it happens with language also 1434 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:51,710 then if you have a cosmological concept 1435 00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:53,930 which according to the Dogon and the 1436 00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:56,390 Buddhists knowledge of that concept 1437 00:58:00,670 --> 00:57:58,130 actually begins on the non material side 1438 00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:00,680 not the material side then its 1439 00:58:04,690 --> 00:58:02,960 expression when it crosses that boundary 1440 00:58:07,870 --> 00:58:04,700 automatically becomes multiple not 1441 00:58:09,970 --> 00:58:07,880 single and so in the Egyptian era for 1442 00:58:11,740 --> 00:58:09,980 the Dogon you end up with multiple 1443 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:11,750 meanings of the same word and meanings 1444 00:58:14,770 --> 00:58:13,610 that are discrete from each other it's 1445 00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:14,780 not like they're related to each other 1446 00:58:21,940 --> 00:58:19,310 the name of the creator god Amma means 1447 00:58:25,060 --> 00:58:21,950 to grasp or to hold firm or to establish 1448 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:25,070 the same hidden God this is the hidden 1449 00:58:30,100 --> 00:58:27,410 creator God the hidden God in Egypt the 1450 00:58:33,820 --> 00:58:30,110 name of the hidden God also means to 1451 00:58:36,190 --> 00:58:33,830 hold firm or to establish in Hebrew the 1452 00:58:38,330 --> 00:58:36,200 same word Amen comes from a root that 1453 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:38,340 means to establish 1454 00:58:41,870 --> 00:58:40,170 so these clusters of meaning go together 1455 00:58:44,030 --> 00:58:41,880 in all these different cultures no 1456 00:58:45,410 --> 00:58:44,040 matter what the language is the concept 1457 00:58:48,650 --> 00:58:45,420 goes with the same cluster of other 1458 00:58:50,390 --> 00:58:48,660 concepts yeah I mean this is just 1459 00:58:52,460 --> 00:58:50,400 amazing man and that's kind of like what 1460 00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:52,470 I was thinking about the burial of these 1461 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:54,510 places is if you had a true 1462 00:58:58,670 --> 00:58:57,210 understanding of the cyclical nature of 1463 00:59:01,580 --> 00:58:58,680 things you would have full faith that 1464 00:59:03,380 --> 00:59:01,590 the structure would be unearthed again 1465 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:03,390 when it was needed you know it would be 1466 00:59:08,180 --> 00:59:05,970 like a significant point on a cyclical 1467 00:59:10,490 --> 00:59:08,190 timeline which might speak to the idea 1468 00:59:12,770 --> 00:59:10,500 that we are slightly on the upswing if 1469 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:12,780 we've uncovered it and then maybe it 1470 00:59:15,650 --> 00:59:14,490 takes us a while to unpack what it was 1471 00:59:18,590 --> 00:59:15,660 about and then for the wider 1472 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:18,600 understanding to take place but you do 1473 00:59:23,390 --> 00:59:21,330 amazing work so much fun I expected to 1474 00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:23,400 talk about the Maori a little bit more 1475 00:59:26,750 --> 00:59:24,960 but they really are just one of many 1476 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:26,760 entry points that end up at a similar 1477 00:59:29,270 --> 00:59:28,410 place and that's kind of the beauty of 1478 00:59:31,490 --> 00:59:29,280 what you do 1479 00:59:33,230 --> 00:59:31,500 are there other cultures you plan to 1480 00:59:36,230 --> 00:59:33,240 tackle or new books and the works you 1481 00:59:37,940 --> 00:59:36,240 did mention one a bit earlier I'm in the 1482 00:59:39,350 --> 00:59:37,950 process probably about halfway through a 1483 00:59:42,530 --> 00:59:39,360 book that I'm calling the plan of the 1484 00:59:43,820 --> 00:59:42,540 ancient cosmology and the reason I 1485 00:59:47,060 --> 00:59:43,830 wanted to write this book is because it 1486 00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:47,070 gives me an opportunity to express a 1487 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:49,680 bunch of things about as time goes on I 1488 00:59:55,220 --> 00:59:52,890 get insights as to some of the choices 1489 00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:55,230 that were made in how the cosmology 1490 01:00:00,440 --> 00:59:58,050 itself was framed and put together how 1491 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:00,450 the educational process was presented 1492 01:00:04,580 --> 01:00:02,130 why things are different in one culture 1493 01:00:06,410 --> 01:00:04,590 than in a different culture so this is 1494 01:00:08,330 --> 01:00:06,420 basically talking about how is the 1495 01:00:10,910 --> 01:00:08,340 cosmology itself structured as an 1496 01:00:12,740 --> 01:00:10,920 educational tool and why would these 1497 01:00:14,750 --> 01:00:12,750 choices made the way they were might 1498 01:00:16,850 --> 01:00:14,760 also talked about the possibility the 1499 01:00:19,550 --> 01:00:16,860 long time wanted to rewrite some of the 1500 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:19,560 myths whether or not I would have enough 1501 01:00:23,780 --> 01:00:21,330 of those to fill a book is a good 1502 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:23,790 question but the exercise of trying to 1503 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:25,170 get down to the bottom of what the myths 1504 01:00:29,930 --> 01:00:27,450 about is a really worthwhile one for me 1505 01:00:31,850 --> 01:00:29,940 because it ties all the pieces together 1506 01:00:34,580 --> 01:00:31,860 by the time I get to the point where I 1507 01:00:37,430 --> 01:00:34,590 could rewrite that myth I have my arms 1508 01:00:38,890 --> 01:00:37,440 around the whole picture that's one of 1509 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:38,900 the goals of what I'm trying to get to 1510 01:00:43,030 --> 01:00:42,210 we'll see if that book happens in the 1511 01:00:44,860 --> 01:00:43,040 past 1512 01:00:46,030 --> 01:00:44,870 a number of the books have picked me I 1513 01:00:49,060 --> 01:00:46,040 have picked them this is like 1514 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:49,070 Ollivanders wand the wand picks the 1515 01:00:53,230 --> 01:00:51,410 wizard in Harry Potter that's the same 1516 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:53,240 thing that out of the blue there'll be a 1517 01:00:57,370 --> 01:00:54,530 question that comes from somebody I 1518 01:00:59,020 --> 01:00:57,380 don't know and if I sincerely pursue 1519 01:01:01,120 --> 01:00:59,030 that question that puts me on to 1520 01:01:02,830 --> 01:01:01,130 material that opens up a whole book in a 1521 01:01:05,350 --> 01:01:02,840 short amount of time it happened with 1522 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:05,360 mystery of skara brae it happened with 1523 01:01:09,670 --> 01:01:07,610 point of origin and it actually happened 1524 01:01:11,710 --> 01:01:09,680 with my book seeking the primordial nice 1525 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:11,720 not to say that something like that 1526 01:01:15,700 --> 01:01:13,850 won't bump the things I think I'm 1527 01:01:18,940 --> 01:01:15,710 working on and put me onto the thing I 1528 01:01:20,830 --> 01:01:18,950 actually work on well I love it and if 1529 01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:20,840 you write that gyu's book you let me 1530 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:23,510 know yes maybe a while to like get to 1531 01:01:27,580 --> 01:01:24,650 that one but it's interesting to know 1532 01:01:29,590 --> 01:01:27,590 about it anyway for sure well heck yeah 1533 01:01:31,660 --> 01:01:29,600 I really look forward to the one you are 1534 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:31,670 working on and I mean would you like to 1535 01:01:35,890 --> 01:01:33,650 remind people of anything else before we 1536 01:01:37,690 --> 01:01:35,900 go your website how to keep tabs on you 1537 01:01:39,580 --> 01:01:37,700 and what you're doing sure my publisher 1538 01:01:42,820 --> 01:01:39,590 is inner traditions and they have a 1539 01:01:45,070 --> 01:01:42,830 website inner traditions calm there's an 1540 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:45,080 author page for me there there's also an 1541 01:01:49,930 --> 01:01:47,810 author page on Simon & Schuster calm for 1542 01:01:51,700 --> 01:01:49,940 me so those are places to come up with 1543 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:51,710 books the books are available pretty 1544 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:54,050 much anywhere on Amazon or Barnes & 1545 01:01:59,080 --> 01:01:56,450 Noble or whatever you're likely to find 1546 01:02:01,120 --> 01:01:59,090 the most recent books on the Shelf at 1547 01:02:04,300 --> 01:02:01,130 Barnes & Noble if you're looking for me 1548 01:02:06,340 --> 01:02:04,310 personally I'm on Facebook I'm the only 1549 01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:06,350 Laird scranton on Facebook I joke that 1550 01:02:10,420 --> 01:02:07,910 people shouldn't confuse me with all the 1551 01:02:11,950 --> 01:02:10,430 other Laird screen nothing but those are 1552 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:11,960 probably the best ways to try to find me 1553 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:13,970 and then if there's a reason to talk by 1554 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:16,490 email or whatever I do that too I'm 1555 01:02:21,340 --> 01:02:18,770 usually happy to explore a question or 1556 01:02:23,650 --> 01:02:21,350 answer a question or giving an opinion 1557 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:23,660 about something if somebody needs that 1558 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:27,530 right on beautiful well this has been 1559 01:02:33,340 --> 01:02:30,170 great like I said I do love the work you 1560 01:02:35,170 --> 01:02:33,350 do Laird and keep examining this world 1561 01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:35,180 and piecing the big puzzle back together 1562 01:02:41,310 --> 01:02:37,910 for us the new book from in traditions 1563 01:02:44,730 --> 01:02:41,320 is called decoding Mori cosmology and 1564 01:02:47,609 --> 01:02:44,740 it's been out only a few months now and 1565 01:02:50,099 --> 01:02:47,619 actually since the middle of May 1566 01:02:52,339 --> 01:02:50,109 that's the primary work this year that 1567 01:02:55,380 --> 01:02:52,349 we're trying to get some attention for 1568 01:02:57,269 --> 01:02:55,390 indeed and I definitely love that book 1569 01:02:59,309 --> 01:02:57,279 it's a great read if you're familiar 1570 01:03:02,190 --> 01:02:59,319 with the other books and I love the 1571 01:03:04,469 --> 01:03:02,200 connections to the Dogon and it's just 1572 01:03:08,039 --> 01:03:04,479 great to learn more about cultures that 1573 01:03:10,049 --> 01:03:08,049 we are completely separated from or we 1574 01:03:12,930 --> 01:03:10,059 feel separated from in our little 1575 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:12,940 Western bubble so amazing stuff man keep 1576 01:03:16,620 --> 01:03:14,410 doing what you do and take care out 1577 01:03:20,969 --> 01:03:16,630 there well thank you very much Cree 1578 01:03:23,249 --> 01:03:20,979 you got it whoa people whoa how do we 1579 01:03:25,950 --> 01:03:23,259 feel about that one the bridge of Syrah 1580 01:03:29,099 --> 01:03:25,960 himself a little reference for the plus 1581 01:03:31,079 --> 01:03:29,109 people there but I loved it and I even 1582 01:03:33,059 --> 01:03:31,089 told Laird that this is one of those 1583 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:33,069 shows that I knew I would be excited to 1584 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:35,650 put out sometimes you get off interview 1585 01:03:40,140 --> 01:03:37,930 and you feel a bit yeah and then it's 1586 01:03:43,109 --> 01:03:40,150 really a drag to go through the process 1587 01:03:45,959 --> 01:03:43,119 and put the thing out knowing that it's 1588 01:03:49,950 --> 01:03:45,969 not the best work we can do but that is 1589 01:03:53,999 --> 01:03:49,960 not the case today I did read Laird's 1590 01:03:57,690 --> 01:03:54,009 book on the Maury or the Maori or the 1591 01:04:00,150 --> 01:03:57,700 more I I suck it saying it I can read it 1592 01:04:02,249 --> 01:04:00,160 a lot better but I watched a couple of 1593 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:02,259 YouTube videos on the tribe even just 1594 01:04:06,390 --> 01:04:04,450 beforehand to try to get it right and I 1595 01:04:09,900 --> 01:04:06,400 hear a lot of different inflections and 1596 01:04:12,359 --> 01:04:09,910 I also read that the tribe itself had no 1597 01:04:14,670 --> 01:04:12,369 name for themselves collectively and the 1598 01:04:16,829 --> 01:04:14,680 name was just applied to them then I 1599 01:04:19,950 --> 01:04:16,839 found other sources that also say that's 1600 01:04:21,630 --> 01:04:19,960 wrong other sources say that that's just 1601 01:04:23,069 --> 01:04:21,640 an umbrella term for many different 1602 01:04:27,569 --> 01:04:23,079 groups of people who consider themselves 1603 01:04:30,660 --> 01:04:27,579 very differently than other groups under 1604 01:04:32,910 --> 01:04:30,670 the same label but all of this to me 1605 01:04:35,549 --> 01:04:32,920 speaks to just how hard it is to really 1606 01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:35,559 even get the simplest effects right when 1607 01:04:41,609 --> 01:04:38,710 it comes to indigenous cultures or just 1608 01:04:43,739 --> 01:04:41,619 cultures outside of our own because I 1609 01:04:45,870 --> 01:04:43,749 would absolutely want to be accurate and 1610 01:04:48,109 --> 01:04:45,880 I hope anybody with a Maori heritage 1611 01:04:50,339 --> 01:04:48,119 would feel that we were respectful 1612 01:04:52,709 --> 01:04:50,349 because there's clearly a history of 1613 01:04:54,450 --> 01:04:52,719 whitewashing and Empire splaining when 1614 01:04:57,150 --> 01:04:54,460 it comes to most of the remaining 1615 01:04:59,609 --> 01:04:57,160 cultures of the world obviously I can't 1616 01:05:01,050 --> 01:04:59,619 undo any of that but I would also hope 1617 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:01,060 to refrain from adding 1618 01:05:06,630 --> 01:05:04,810 to it when we have a show like this but 1619 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:06,640 people in groups who get too vigilant 1620 01:05:11,730 --> 01:05:08,890 about policing that type of thing are 1621 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:11,740 why some people might not bother trying 1622 01:05:17,130 --> 01:05:14,370 at all and I think that's worse right 1623 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:17,140 well like I said in the show it really 1624 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:19,450 was just a jumping-off point to get deep 1625 01:05:26,250 --> 01:05:22,810 into what the core esoteric tradition is 1626 01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:26,260 or how we can see echoes and references 1627 01:05:31,020 --> 01:05:29,290 to it in many different cultures that 1628 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:31,030 did not communicate with each other and 1629 01:05:35,610 --> 01:05:33,250 even that's complicated right because 1630 01:05:37,650 --> 01:05:35,620 many of us are American so when you dig 1631 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:37,660 into alternative American history you 1632 01:05:41,820 --> 01:05:39,730 quickly learn that Columbus didn't 1633 01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:41,830 discover America firstly there were 1634 01:05:46,140 --> 01:05:44,110 plenty of people already here but still 1635 01:05:47,820 --> 01:05:46,150 you hear some pretty wild stories that 1636 01:05:50,580 --> 01:05:47,830 maybe the Romans came here maybe the 1637 01:05:52,770 --> 01:05:50,590 Vikings came here remember Harry Hubbard 1638 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:52,780 who was all about Alexander the Great's 1639 01:05:57,780 --> 01:05:55,450 hidden riches in Illinois so who knows 1640 01:05:59,730 --> 01:05:57,790 if you're Mormon you think ancient Jews 1641 01:06:02,850 --> 01:05:59,740 sailed over here and became the Native 1642 01:06:04,890 --> 01:06:02,860 Americans my point is only to say that 1643 01:06:07,590 --> 01:06:04,900 you can kind of come out of all those 1644 01:06:09,930 --> 01:06:07,600 threads thinking hey maybe someone did 1645 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:09,940 go around and physically travel to all 1646 01:06:14,430 --> 01:06:12,130 these cultures and taught them the ways 1647 01:06:16,650 --> 01:06:14,440 of civilization and gave them symbols 1648 01:06:19,350 --> 01:06:16,660 and stories to understand the complex 1649 01:06:22,470 --> 01:06:19,360 makeup of reality and our place in it 1650 01:06:25,050 --> 01:06:22,480 maybe but I just struggled with the lack 1651 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:25,060 of physical evidence for that maybe 1652 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:26,890 there are enough out of place artifacts 1653 01:06:31,980 --> 01:06:29,010 and suppressed finds to make the case 1654 01:06:34,110 --> 01:06:31,990 but the argument that many different 1655 01:06:35,790 --> 01:06:34,120 cultures tap into the same spirit realm 1656 01:06:38,430 --> 01:06:35,800 for this information is much more 1657 01:06:42,390 --> 01:06:38,440 plausible to me now that I feel like I 1658 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:42,400 have a shaky but somewhat sound model 1659 01:06:48,150 --> 01:06:46,450 for how that other realm works first off 1660 01:06:50,370 --> 01:06:48,160 many of these cultures are still doing 1661 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:50,380 it they still have spiritual traditions 1662 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:53,170 and shamanic practices so there you go I 1663 01:06:59,370 --> 01:06:56,530 wonder why and as Laird said these 1664 01:07:02,520 --> 01:06:59,380 non-physical beans seem to come to them 1665 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:02,530 actually that's a big deal and we got to 1666 01:07:06,570 --> 01:07:04,930 listen to what they say there's also 1667 01:07:08,850 --> 01:07:06,580 some stories out there that these 1668 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:08,860 cultures had white gods or white 1669 01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:11,730 teachers and you never know if thats 1670 01:07:17,070 --> 01:07:14,050 nationalism getting in there 1671 01:07:19,740 --> 01:07:17,080 along the way somewhere or if maybe 1672 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:19,750 these beans were beans of light and 1673 01:07:23,790 --> 01:07:21,970 white and light kind of got lost in 1674 01:07:26,030 --> 01:07:23,800 translation it can look white if you're 1675 01:07:29,430 --> 01:07:26,040 trying to describe light as a color 1676 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:29,440 again how do you make sense of all this 1677 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:32,050 stuff but I think it's fascinating to 1678 01:07:36,870 --> 01:07:33,970 think of a world where our twin 1679 01:07:38,850 --> 01:07:36,880 dimensions were not so separate we get 1680 01:07:40,860 --> 01:07:38,860 enough bleed over today for people who 1681 01:07:43,620 --> 01:07:40,870 care to see it or people who work on it 1682 01:07:47,190 --> 01:07:43,630 a bit to get there but imagine the dial 1683 01:07:49,830 --> 01:07:47,200 turned up 30 40 60 percent on that bleed 1684 01:07:53,070 --> 01:07:49,840 over who's gonna go to work at the Pepsi 1685 01:07:56,100 --> 01:07:53,080 plant in that reality who is watching 1686 01:07:59,670 --> 01:07:56,110 another drawn-out Marvel show on Netflix 1687 01:08:01,800 --> 01:07:59,680 in that reality I'm also reminded of 1688 01:08:04,230 --> 01:08:01,810 interviews with Gordon white or recently 1689 01:08:06,660 --> 01:08:04,240 jason louvre where we talked about the 1690 01:08:09,390 --> 01:08:06,670 spirits having a fascination with empire 1691 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:09,400 and that sounds a bit negative but then 1692 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:11,770 we talk about the spirits giving man the 1693 01:08:15,930 --> 01:08:14,050 teachings of agriculture and societal 1694 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:15,940 building and we think that that's a 1695 01:08:19,079 --> 01:08:18,250 positive thing but if you wanted to be 1696 01:08:20,820 --> 01:08:19,089 cynical 1697 01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:20,830 you could almost make the case that the 1698 01:08:26,130 --> 01:08:22,650 spirits are playing the long game 1699 01:08:28,140 --> 01:08:26,140 because you can't influence Empire if we 1700 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:28,150 don't stop and settle down first I 1701 01:08:33,420 --> 01:08:30,850 almost think about it as the spirits 1702 01:08:35,519 --> 01:08:33,430 playing chess almost and with 1703 01:08:38,220 --> 01:08:35,529 hunter-gatherers you just have pawns on 1704 01:08:41,700 --> 01:08:38,230 the board no disrespect but people have 1705 01:08:44,430 --> 01:08:41,710 limited power and conquering ability and 1706 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:44,440 you have to mold your way up to the 1707 01:08:48,539 --> 01:08:46,210 bishops and the rooks and the Knights 1708 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:48,549 and the queens on the board because once 1709 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:51,010 you build man up or a structure a 1710 01:08:57,870 --> 01:08:55,690 society an empire and then you have more 1711 01:08:59,820 --> 01:08:57,880 powerful pieces with which to control 1712 01:09:02,700 --> 01:08:59,830 the board if you're acting through man 1713 01:09:05,820 --> 01:09:02,710 our influencing man or whatever the hell 1714 01:09:08,519 --> 01:09:05,830 they do to us these are my stupid stoner 1715 01:09:10,769 --> 01:09:08,529 thoughts but I like to play around with 1716 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:10,779 motivations and intentions when looking 1717 01:09:16,829 --> 01:09:14,170 at all this stuff but you know real fun 1718 01:09:18,809 --> 01:09:16,839 show today I felt like I got a couple of 1719 01:09:21,180 --> 01:09:18,819 those moments as Laird was breaking it 1720 01:09:22,620 --> 01:09:21,190 down where I felt like for a split 1721 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:22,630 second I could understand the whole 1722 01:09:25,970 --> 01:09:25,690 thing like oh there it is that's it but 1723 01:09:28,610 --> 01:09:25,980 that 1724 01:09:31,519 --> 01:09:28,620 it just slips away like a good 1725 01:09:34,490 --> 01:09:31,529 psychedelic insight tends to do maybe 1726 01:09:36,470 --> 01:09:34,500 I'm crazy I also think if you fold this 1727 01:09:38,780 --> 01:09:36,480 in with what an streamer had been 1728 01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:38,790 communicating to Whitley from the last 1729 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:41,250 show there's a lot of complimentary 1730 01:09:47,210 --> 01:09:45,210 stuff there so that's cool too either 1731 01:09:48,860 --> 01:09:47,220 way I hope we did you justice and 1732 01:09:51,740 --> 01:09:48,870 injected some deep and thought-provoking 1733 01:09:55,850 --> 01:09:51,750 stuff in this shallow and simple culture 1734 01:09:58,010 --> 01:09:55,860 and no politics isn't that great so I'm 1735 01:09:59,810 --> 01:09:58,020 sure you also heard my little plus price 1736 01:10:02,090 --> 01:09:59,820 preamble at the beginning that pretty 1737 01:10:04,370 --> 01:10:02,100 much said it all so I don't really know 1738 01:10:06,170 --> 01:10:04,380 why I'm bringing it up here really but 1739 01:10:07,790 --> 01:10:06,180 sign up for plus if you enjoy the show 1740 01:10:11,300 --> 01:10:07,800 and want to hear the whole second half 1741 01:10:14,150 --> 01:10:11,310 of these here conversations today with 1742 01:10:16,580 --> 01:10:14,160 Laird we got into the Kings list of 1743 01:10:18,590 --> 01:10:16,590 ancient Egypt and a slower time frames 1744 01:10:21,890 --> 01:10:18,600 effect on the physical body and life 1745 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:21,900 span the Tibetan priest class the naki 1746 01:10:27,170 --> 01:10:24,930 and the guarding of their local portal 1747 01:10:30,020 --> 01:10:27,180 so to speak Laird's thoughts on the 1748 01:10:31,700 --> 01:10:30,030 Hollow Earth theory our digital 1749 01:10:34,190 --> 01:10:31,710 development and the quickening time 1750 01:10:36,410 --> 01:10:34,200 frame and then I even asked Laird his 1751 01:10:41,510 --> 01:10:36,420 analysis of guyys if you remember the 1752 01:10:44,390 --> 01:10:41,520 Ross Ben show and we also spent a hot 1753 01:10:47,990 --> 01:10:44,400 amount of time on circumcision but it's 1754 01:10:50,990 --> 01:10:48,000 there as well as Dogon numerology and 1755 01:10:53,810 --> 01:10:51,000 fairies of druidic culture so it is a 1756 01:10:55,610 --> 01:10:53,820 serious Pandora's box a rich and 1757 01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:55,620 action-packed second hour to say the 1758 01:11:01,100 --> 01:10:57,930 least I hope you join me on the plus 1759 01:11:03,590 --> 01:11:01,110 side I think the new Colin joint 1760 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:03,600 sessions are gonna be a lot of fun I'll 1761

a fun shared 1764 01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:12,360 experience rather than the isolated 1765 01:11:18,020 --> 01:11:14,640 awkwardness that it has been for the 1766 01:11:20,750 --> 01:11:18,030 last few years it will be my immersion 1767 01:11:22,910 --> 01:11:20,760 therapy I'm thinking and I'm gonna try 1768 01:11:24,530 --> 01:11:22,920 to make it video because apparently some 1769 01:11:27,110
