00:14:29,680 writings on an unknown history and it's 328 00:14:34,139 --> 00:14:32,139 a collection of papers that you did 329 00:14:37,499 --> 00:14:34,149 Richard welcome to the show 330 00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:37,509 and I think the cool thing to ask first 331 00:14:44,939 --> 00:14:42,100 is focusing so much of your life on a 332 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:44,949 cult or esoteric studies how did that 333 00:14:48,749 --> 00:14:46,810 come about any personal experience 334 00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:48,759 involved or just your interests flew 335 00:14:55,290 --> 00:14:52,569 that way well I can't say that there 336 00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,300 have been any like really mine 337 00:14:59,610 --> 00:14:57,519 shattering experiences or any of that 338 00:15:02,819 --> 00:14:59,620 that would really stand out and kind of 339 00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:02,829 a conversion experience type way but I 340 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:06,100 have always had this sense of something 341 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:09,250 deeper going on than conventional 342 00:15:14,579 --> 00:15:12,250 reality would like to admit I've had an 343 00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:14,589 enormous appetite for this ever since I 344 00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:17,769 was young so and I've investigated some 345 00:15:22,769 --> 00:15:20,110 of these areas both you know in an 346 00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:22,779 intellectual way and in an experiential 347 00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:25,870 way so like something to say about it 348 00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:28,089 have you had any personal experiences 349 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:29,769 that you thought were just real unusual 350 00:15:37,049 --> 00:15:33,970 yeah and this in a way I mean one that 351 00:15:40,049 --> 00:15:37,059 comes to mind is gives a good example of 352 00:15:42,619 --> 00:15:40,059 some of the things that I I guess would 353 00:15:46,549 --> 00:15:42,629 like to say about the paranormal about 354 00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:46,559 21 years ago I was doing a story on 355 00:15:52,889 --> 00:15:50,230 Native American spirituality and I went 356 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:52,899 to spend a few days with a medicine man 357 00:16:02,309 --> 00:15:57,610 up in Nevada out in Nevada the 358 00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:02,319 preposition is and when I was leaving he 359 00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:04,480 had one of his people give me kind of a 360 00:16:10,379 --> 00:16:07,920 traditional blessing for my car on 361 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:10,389 tobacco offerings in the six directions 362 00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:11,850 which is 363 00:16:16,970 --> 00:16:14,190 a pretty standard native-american 364 00:16:19,220 --> 00:16:16,980 practice and I thought well this was all 365 00:16:22,579 --> 00:16:19,230 very nice but I had a very weird 366 00:16:24,170 --> 00:16:22,589 experience while coming back and I was 367 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:24,180 this is in Nevada I was living in 368 00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:26,610 California at the time and I was going 369 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:30,709 home over the Donner summit in 370 00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:33,810 California this is not oh you know this 371 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:37,350 is not a terribly late in the season it 372 00:16:44,749 --> 00:16:41,130 was like in late September I was in the 373 00:16:47,079 --> 00:16:44,759 fast lane and right behind me uh kind of 374 00:16:49,389 --> 00:16:47,089 pulling up right behind me it was this 375 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:49,399 red sports car 376 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:53,910 well caucuses of nauseous um so I am 377 00:17:00,160 --> 00:16:56,880 I'll just get out of his way that's fact 378 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:00,170 so I did I pulled into the slow lane and 379 00:17:08,779 --> 00:17:06,480 the minute I did a freak storm appeared 380 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:08,789 a freak snowstorm which they they were 381 00:17:15,649 --> 00:17:11,970 very very slippery and right before my 382 00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:15,659 eyes and behind my eyes I saw that 383 00:17:23,870 --> 00:17:18,750 sports car go right through a metal rail 384 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:23,880 about a very very deep crevasse and you 385 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:27,510 know I thought well you know is this 386 00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:30,720 paranormal in some sort of like really 387 00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:34,140 aqil central not really um you know 388 00:17:40,399 --> 00:17:36,600 there's nothing there that happened on 389 00:17:44,419 --> 00:17:40,409 that you know defies the laws of nature 390 00:17:46,850 --> 00:17:44,429 as such this could happen to anybody but 391 00:17:48,590 --> 00:17:46,860 I thought it was very very curious and 392 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:48,600 but I thought I'd had it right after 393 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:50,850 going this experience with this medicine 394 00:17:57,409 --> 00:17:54,450 man let me think about it and think 395 00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:57,419 there might be some connection so i 396 00:18:01,850 --> 00:17:59,010 guess i one thing i would say about 397 00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:01,860 paranormal experiences in general is 398 00:18:07,940 --> 00:18:04,620 they often take that form they're not 399 00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:07,950 necessarily ghost apparitions they're 400 00:18:13,070 --> 00:18:10,260 not necessarily UFO sightings although 401 00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:13,080 people have those as you know but 402 00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:17,220 something kind of funny happens and can 403 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:19,140 never really quite place your finger on 404 00:18:24,570 --> 00:18:22,530 it even though you know the logical 405 00:18:26,669 --> 00:18:24,580 facts kind of break down and you know 406 00:18:32,159 --> 00:18:26,679 there was a storm and their storms over 407 00:18:34,259 --> 00:18:32,169 the Donner summit and you know I I was 408 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:34,269 lucky enough to slow down and that kind 409 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:36,250 of thing but it was it was curious to 410 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:40,330 have that after that you know blessing 411 00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:42,610 by the medicine man's assistant that 412 00:18:47,370 --> 00:18:45,190 sounds rather synchronistic yeah I mean 413 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:47,380 it's just you know it was very very 414 00:18:54,149 --> 00:18:50,890 peculiar and this particular medicine 415 00:18:57,210 --> 00:18:54,159 man whose name was Rolling Thunder and 416 00:18:59,850 --> 00:18:57,220 he's now feast but he was quite 417 00:19:01,649 --> 00:18:59,860 well-known and uh you mean well as in 418 00:19:04,830 --> 00:19:01,659 Rolling Thunder revue and the Bob Dylan 419 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:04,840 tour in 76 yeah that was named after him 420 00:19:11,659 --> 00:19:07,600 and he was friendly with a lot of rock 421 00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:11,669 stars particularly in the seventies but 422 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:14,230 you know he was also known for having 423 00:19:18,269 --> 00:19:16,090 certain power of controlling the weather 424 00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:18,279 now I have no reason to believe he 425 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:19,960 called not that storm or anything like 426 00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:23,769 that but it was as you say synchronistic 427 00:19:30,269 --> 00:19:26,350 it had a certain kind of oddness about 428 00:19:33,779 --> 00:19:30,279 it that you know led me to think well I 429 00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:33,789 guess the real conclusion I got was you 430 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:35,769 know you're dealing with someone here 431 00:19:42,149 --> 00:19:39,730 who actually has real power so uh don't 432 00:19:44,129 --> 00:19:42,159 do anything stupid or anything stupid 433 00:19:47,850 --> 00:19:44,139 about him there's now Rolling Thunder 434 00:19:50,639 --> 00:19:47,860 wasn't he he's was Lakota correct no he 435 00:19:54,659 --> 00:19:50,649 was part Cherokee Cherokee okay a little 436 00:19:57,149 --> 00:19:54,669 south he was more in East yeah and I 437 00:19:59,549 --> 00:19:57,159 mean he did live in Nirvana at the time 438 00:20:03,210 --> 00:19:59,559 he lived in mulana for a long time and 439 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:03,220 died uh I think in the 90s a new book 440 00:20:08,580 --> 00:20:05,679 has just come out about him but um I 441 00:20:12,269 --> 00:20:08,590 don't remember the exact date so have 442 00:20:14,879 --> 00:20:12,279 you done much investigation and research 443 00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:14,889 into native Native American spirituality 444 00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:16,990 and there there are particular 445 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:20,830 interesting insights into what the rest 446 00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:22,809 of us would call sort of paranormal or 447 00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:25,860 supernatural sort of forces energies 448 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:29,289 practices a little bit it's certainly 449 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:31,450 not an area that I'm an expert on but 450 00:20:36,330 --> 00:20:34,330 I've looked into it a little and one 451 00:20:39,389 --> 00:20:36,340 thing I guess I would say is that 452 00:20:41,399 --> 00:20:39,399 there's this very strong sense and you 453 00:20:45,149 --> 00:20:41,409 know psychologists eg you'll noted this 454 00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:45,159 but there is in a sense kind of a spirit 455 00:20:51,419 --> 00:20:49,990 of place that all of us share he he 456 00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:51,429 wrote a curious essay called the 457 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:53,919 complications of American psychology in 458 00:20:57,659 --> 00:20:55,600 which you know a sense of what inning he 459 00:21:00,659 --> 00:20:57,669 was over here he said he saw kind of 460 00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:00,669 Native American characteristics and you 461 00:21:05,789 --> 00:21:02,049 know many people who are obviously not 462 00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:05,799 ethnically from that background it's an 463 00:21:10,139 --> 00:21:07,510 interesting area because I think it's 464 00:21:12,990 --> 00:21:10,149 it's it's an area where kind of a 465 00:21:15,779 --> 00:21:13,000 dominant you know majority culture needs 466 00:21:18,990 --> 00:21:15,789 to sort of figure out where exactly how 467 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:19,000 do we fit in with the land um we're not 468 00:21:23,730 --> 00:21:22,240 like Europeans like the British you know 469 00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:23,740 the British I've been there for 470 00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:27,070 thousands and thousands of years you 471 00:21:31,289 --> 00:21:28,750 know they really go back to prehistory 472 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:31,299 despite various conquests and whatnot 473 00:21:36,180 --> 00:21:34,240 and um you know although not everybody 474 00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:36,190 is like really into that stuff over 475 00:21:39,980 --> 00:21:38,110 there you do get a sense of a much 476 00:21:42,029 --> 00:21:39,990 greater integration with a landscape 477 00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:42,039 than you do 478 00:21:46,919 --> 00:21:44,080 among Americans you know particularly 479 00:21:48,269 --> 00:21:46,929 you know people you know you know Sam 480 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,279 was you've only been here like a few 481 00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:50,320 generations so do you think that that 482 00:21:56,730 --> 00:21:54,580 might tie into why the UK is considered 483 00:21:59,250 --> 00:21:56,740 one of the more haunted places on the 484 00:22:01,379 --> 00:21:59,260 planet there there I seem to have read 485 00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:01,389 some pretty interesting sort of 486 00:22:06,299 --> 00:22:03,700 analogies of haunting sites and how 487 00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:06,309 England seems to be just rife with them 488 00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:08,559 there per capita I think there's more 489 00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:10,960 haunted sites in in England than any 490 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:12,549 other place in the Western world do you 491 00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:15,490 think do you think this this tradition 492 00:22:21,149 --> 00:22:18,159 of being there for so many years lends 493 00:22:24,389 --> 00:22:21,159 itself to possibly layering these types 494 00:22:27,629 --> 00:22:24,399 of phenomenal effects and events and 495 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,639 occurrences on to the populace as they 496 00:22:30,509 --> 00:22:28,960 progress through time 497 00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:30,519 Richard's answer will come in a moment 498 00:22:34,950 -->

00:27:25,400 of Supernatural it is a classy book 577 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:27,800 it reads classy and it looks classy and 578 00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:30,650 Chris asked a question about the greater 579 00:27:36,430 --> 00:27:33,470 prevalence of unusual events say 580 00:27:39,310 --> 00:27:36,440 hauntings in the UK Richard yeah I lived 581 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:39,320 in the UK for a couple of years as a 582 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:41,570 student that was my impression that 583 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:43,970 there was a great deal more of that and 584 00:27:49,630 --> 00:27:46,250 there's you know a great deal more lore 585 00:27:51,610 --> 00:27:49,640 about it I think one reason that you 586 00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:51,620 know this is kind of practical is that 587 00:27:57,190 --> 00:27:55,130 the houses are much older you know you 588 00:28:01,120 --> 00:27:57,200 know for us an old house is you know 589 00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:01,130 house it's a hundred years old it 590 00:28:06,130 --> 00:28:03,710 Britain an old house is yes that was 591 00:28:08,350 --> 00:28:06,140 just built yesterday right yeah you know 592 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:08,360 an old house someone might you know well 593 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:10,010 be living in the house that was built in 594 00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:11,810 the time of Henry the eighth or 595 00:28:16,450 --> 00:28:14,510 something like that here by the way you 596 00:28:20,260 --> 00:28:16,460 move into a house that old and falls 597 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:20,270 apart next week there's always that 598 00:28:25,780 --> 00:28:23,210 problem too I I'm not big on maintenance 599 00:28:29,350 --> 00:28:25,790 myself so it might not be the ideal 600 00:28:31,180 --> 00:28:29,360 person to have a house like that but I 601 00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:31,190 think you know if something has been 602 00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:34,070 inhabited for you know 400 years or so 603 00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:37,130 there's a lot more that's going on there 604 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:39,200 a lot more deaths that have happened 605 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:40,730 there are a lot more people who've gone 606 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:43,010 through it a lot more people who are 607 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:44,690 likely to have left some kind of psychic 608 00:28:49,690 --> 00:28:47,450 mark a residue on it so I think that you 609 00:28:52,450 --> 00:28:49,700 know is definitely part of the scene 610 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:52,460 over there and certainly not every but 611 00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:55,370 not every old house is haunted but you 612 00:29:00,120 --> 00:28:56,720 know you certainly hear a lot more 613 00:29:02,980 --> 00:29:00,130 stories about it a friend of mine who 614 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:02,990 has I think his father's family 615 00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:05,810 originally came from Dublin area you 616 00:29:10,090 --> 00:29:07,760 know told me about staying at this old 617 00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:10,100 house and having this old man come into 618 00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:12,350 his room one night who I guess was 619 00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:15,590 deceased well that brings up to mind 620 00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:18,800 China India parts of Africa where you 621 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:21,350 have very very ancient dwellings that 622 00:29:25,540 --> 00:29:23,570 have been continuously inhabited for 623 00:29:29,070 --> 00:29:25,550 many generations 624 00:29:32,260 --> 00:29:29,080 do you see kind of a correlation between 625 00:29:33,850 --> 00:29:32,270 the actual proximity and age of a 626 00:29:36,090 --> 00:29:33,860 dwelling and the amount of people that 627 00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:36,100 have have cycled through there as 628 00:29:42,210 --> 00:29:39,320 perhaps lending itself to more of a 629 00:29:45,790 --> 00:29:42,220 prevalence of potential haunting or 630 00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:45,800 residual type psychic effects yeah I 631 00:29:49,780 --> 00:29:47,510 think so I mean you know what are the 632 00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:49,790 most haunted parts of the US or you know 633 00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:51,710 what are at least thought to be the most 634 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:54,200 haunted parts of the US well probably 635 00:29:59,260 --> 00:29:57,050 New England is high up there and New 636 00:30:01,600 --> 00:29:59,270 England where I'm from you know has its 637 00:30:04,570 --> 00:30:01,610 own rather special sometimes spooky feel 638 00:30:06,130 --> 00:30:04,580 of its own and I guess the other place I 639 00:30:08,410 --> 00:30:06,140 would say that has a lot is the south 640 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:08,420 and you know those are both parts of the 641 00:30:13,810 --> 00:30:10,850 US that have been inhabited the longest 642 00:30:15,610 --> 00:30:13,820 not by European standards it's still not 643 00:30:16,210 --> 00:30:15,620 very few no four hundred years not there 644 00:30:19,660 --> 00:30:16,220 in lon 645 00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:19,670 but you know for us it's a long time so 646 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:21,830 yeah I think that's and in China and 647 00:30:29,290 --> 00:30:25,730 India there and this is a subject I'm 648 00:30:32,770 --> 00:30:29,300 interested in I I think one has to also 649 00:30:35,530 --> 00:30:32,780 take into account and and there aren't 650 00:30:37,330 --> 00:30:35,540 really words to describe this but kind 651 00:30:40,770 --> 00:30:37,340 of a culture has its own psychic 652 00:30:46,650 --> 00:30:40,780 landscape and in a curious sort of way 653 00:30:50,860 --> 00:30:46,660 the beliefs the practices of culture 654 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:50,870 create a certain kind of landscape where 655 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:53,810 things are more likely to happen you 656 00:30:59,910 --> 00:30:56,930 know the spirituality of India is quite 657 00:31:01,780 --> 00:30:59,920 a different place and you know a lot of 658 00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:01,790 events that we would consider a 659 00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:05,750 paranormal or you know regarded you know 660 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:08,960 in a fairly matter-of-fact way and I 661 00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:10,850 have to say that that part of the reason 662 00:31:17,980 --> 00:31:15,440 for that must be that um you know the 663 00:31:21,010 --> 00:31:17,990 culture just accepts it so well whereas 664 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:21,020 here I mean everybody you know I mean 665 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:22,730 you have to at least pay lip service to 666 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:25,330 skepticism right you know you have to 667 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:28,880 you know if you don't kind of pretend to 668 00:31:31,269 --> 00:31:29,690 be skeptical 669 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:31,279 people just think you're kind of 670 00:31:37,810 --> 00:31:34,970 credulous well you should visit the para 671 00:31:40,450 --> 00:31:37,820 cast forum sometime that's that's an 672 00:31:42,610 --> 00:31:40,460 understatement you know yeah and there's 673 00:31:45,580 --> 00:31:42,620 and you know skepticism about the 674 00:31:47,289 --> 00:31:45,590 paranormal has become kind of a quasi 675 00:31:50,590 --> 00:31:47,299 religion in its own right as you know 676 00:31:52,659 --> 00:31:50,600 you know and a lot of it you know the 677 00:31:55,539 --> 00:31:52,669 so-called skeptics are you know they're 678 00:31:58,869 --> 00:31:55,549 true believers as much as you know any 679 00:32:00,639 --> 00:31:58,879 any devotee of any religion is oh here 680 00:32:03,399 --> 00:32:00,649 here thank you so much for saying that 681 00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:03,409 yeah I mean you know yeah you you follow 682 00:32:06,749 --> 00:32:05,750 this field so you know exactly what I'm 683 00:32:10,779 --> 00:32:06,759 talking about 684 00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:10,789 so collective belief is a very powerful 685 00:32:14,860 --> 00:32:12,049 thing and I don't think it's very well 686 00:32:18,610 --> 00:32:14,870 understood and I don't think it's been 687 00:32:21,730 --> 00:32:18,620 very well studied I read a fascinating 688 00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:21,740 book a couple of years ago was by a 689 00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:23,960 Russian then bekhterev it was a 690 00:32:29,529 --> 00:32:26,120 psychologist in the early 20th century 691 00:32:34,269 --> 00:32:29,539 who because it was entitled collective 692 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:34,279 reflexology and it was a study of how 693 00:32:41,230 --> 00:32:38,090 moods and impulses passed between crowds 694 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:41,240 and he sort of thought there was almost 695 00:32:47,139 --> 00:32:44,000 like a you know kind of kind of like an 696 00:32:49,090 --> 00:32:47,149 electrical impulse that you know could 697 00:32:50,889 --> 00:32:49,100 just pass through a cloud now he lived 698 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:50,899 through the Russian Revolution and a lot 699 00:32:54,940 --> 00:32:53,210 of the anecdotes he describes it was 700 00:32:57,820 --> 00:32:54,950 Russian Revolution where you know people 701 00:33:00,850 --> 00:32:57,830 just suddenly had went crazy and kill 702 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:00,860 somebody uh for no apparent reason so he 703 00:33:06,879 --> 00:33:04,370 had a lot of material to study but I 704 00:33:09,580 --> 00:33:06,889 think we have to get a lot more serious 705 00:33:12,070 --> 00:33:09,590 in at least recognizing that collective 706 00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:12,080 belief you know has a real role to play 707 00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:14,480 and how we perceive reality and what 708 00:33:19,149 --> 00:33:17,480 what we perceive reality to be so would 709 00:33:22,090 --> 00:33:19,159 you be saying then would you be saying 710 00:33:23,950 --> 00:33:22,100 then that the collective belief may in 711 00:33:30,190 --> 00:33:23,960 and of itself create some of that 712 00:33:32,019 --> 00:33:30,200 reality with 2012 and the Kali Yuga I 713 00:33:35,259 --> 00:33:32,029 mean these are two chapters in your book 714 00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:35,269 that I found very fascinating with all 715 00:33:42,070 --> 00:33:39,769 this media hype about this 2012 and the 716 00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:42,080 end of the Mayan calendar 717 00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:44,110 nineteen calendars and none of a manned 718 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:48,640 by digress but where do we see a 719 00:33:54,730 --> 00:33:52,399 manifestation of this kind of Riptide of 720 00:33:57,940 --> 00:33:54,740 belief surrounding 2012 721 00:34:00,610 --> 00:33:57,950 what do you views on that well I think 722 00:34:04,139 --> 00:34:00,620 the 2012 phenomenon is very interesting 723 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:04,149 in a way that's often been overlooked 724 00:34:12,190 --> 00:34:08,330 now in the West you know particularly 725 00:34:15,369 --> 00:34:12,200 since Christianity triumphs there's 726 00:34:17,530 --> 00:34:15,379 always been this very strong apocalyptic 727 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:17,540 impulse that is to say this impulse to 728 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:19,040 believe at the end of the world is at 729 00:34:24,700 --> 00:34:21,530 hand there's even a website somewhere 730 00:34:26,379 --> 00:34:24,710 that that kind of lists every year that 731 00:34:28,810 --> 00:34:26,389 someone predicted will be the end of the 732 00:34:30,970 --> 00:34:28,820 world you know there are a lot of years 733 00:34:33,909 --> 00:34:30,980 in the last few thousand pages and pages 734 00:34:36,460 --> 00:34:33,919 and pages pages you know not maybe not 735 00:34:38,190 --> 00:34:36,470 every year but pretty close to it so is 736 00:34:41,290 --> 00:34:38,200 there's this again this collective 737 00:34:43,359 --> 00:34:41,300 expectation um you know apocalypse I 738 00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:43,369 mean you can see you know the tabloids 739 00:34:48,570 --> 00:34:45,950 play on it you know the kind of the more 740 00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:48,580 sensationalistic tabloids playing on it 741 00:34:56,379 --> 00:34:53,020 and it's it's very very deeply ingrained 742 00:35:00,820 --> 00:34:56,389 in uh you know the way Western people 743 00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:00,830 think now at the same time people the 744 00:35:05,950 --> 00:35:02,480 culture itself has been detaching itself 745 00:35:11,349 --> 00:35:05,960 from Christianity much more than it was 746 00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:11,359 even a generation ago if there's you 747 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:13,910 know more people who identify themselves 748 00:35:18,910 --> 00:35:16,730 as non-affiliated there's you know a 749 00:35:19,990 --> 00:35:18,920 religious belief spiritual belief maybe 750 00:35:23,380 --> 00:35:20,000 as strong as ever 751 00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:23,390 but it's certainly less and less links 752 00:35:34,329 --> 00:35:26,990 to any kind of institutional or dogmatic 753 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:34,339 belief so you have people who are you 754 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:36,170 know you know a kind of a cultural 755 00:35:43,329 --> 00:35:41,210 collective mindset that in you know has 756 00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:43,339 this real background in apocalypse and 757 00:35:49,060 --> 00:35:46,790 expectation at the end of the world and 758 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:49,070 kind of an increased kind of lack of 759 00:35:54,070 --> 00:35:51,530 interest in Christianity which is the 760 00:35:55,620 --> 00:35:54,080 you know chief language in which this is 761 00:35:58,590 --> 00:35:55,630 usually then for 762 00:36:01,470 --> 00:35:58,600 elated so what I find interesting about 763 00:36:04,340 --> 00:36:01,480 the 2012 phenomenon is that you know it 764 00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:04,350 is this kind of typical apocalyptic 765 00:36:12,510 --> 00:36:07,750 scenario at least that's what it was 766 00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:12,520 turned into but for the first time in in 767 00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:16,060 Western history the mythos behind it was 768 00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:18,700 not Christian or judeo-christian it was 769 00:36:23,070 --> 00:36:21,250 not of a native culture I'll tell you 770 00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:23,080 what we'll go into more of Mayan 771 00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:25,620 mysteries and all sorts of unusual 772

00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:28,610 in the 50s when they wrote this book 888 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:31,250 about UFOs they're your modern myth of 889 00:41:36,430 --> 00:41:33,770 things seen in the sky etc

remember reading a description on you 896 00:41:56,020 --> 00:41:52,010 know a witch trial from I don't know 897 00:41:59,320 --> 00:41:56,030 maybe 1600 or so several years ago and 898 00:42:02,410 --> 00:41:59,330 this man testifying in court because 899 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:02,420 this was a this was a real trial a real 900 00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:05,810 legal procedure testified you know to

him at his word you 904 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:15,950 know and this was like you know serious 905 00:42:20,290 --> 00:42:18,410 factual you know procedure this was 906 00:42:25,390 --> 00:42:20,300 right and they frog walked into the 907 00:42:27,970 --> 00:42:25,400 burning stake well I'm sure they did but 908 00:42:31,090 --> 00:42:27,980 the thing about it is that at that point 909 00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:31,100 um the view of reality was such that 910 00:42:38,650 --> 00:42:34,160 yeah you could turn yourself into a frog 911 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:38,660 or a toad and you know I do some go to 912 00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:43,010 evil that way people believed it and no 913 00:42:48,370 --> 00:42:46,070 one questioned it as a piece of factual 914 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:48,380 testimony whereas if someone you know 915 00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:51,290 said that today you know then you know 916 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:52,880 they would get off on an insanity plea 917 00:43:00,250

a lot of you 929 00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:29,520 know kind of mass interest in the 930 00:43:38,030 --> 00:43:34,800 paranormal is in a way there's it's 931 00:43:40,970 --> 00:43:38,040 there's like a there's a universal kind 932 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:40,980 of I would say human need to believe 933 00:43:45,470 --> 00:43:43,890 that there's more to reality than you 934 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:45,480 know what an eighth grade science 935 00:43:49,820 --> 00:43:48,090 textbook is going to tell you well I'm 936 00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:49,830 not sure I I think the younger 937 00:43:57,260 --> 00:43:53,250 generation I mean we're talking jaded I 938 00:43:59,030 --> 00:43:57,270 mean they it doesn't matter what sort of 939 00:44:00,920 --> 00:43:59,040 belief system you come up with they're 940 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:00,930 gonna have some sort of comeback and 941 00:44:06,950 --> 00:44:03,810 some jaded sort of cynical response that 942 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:06,960 is going to you know put a humorous spin 943 00:44:11,570 --> 00:44:09,210 on it but negated at the same time I I 944 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:11,580 think at least in this country we're 945 00:44:16,010 --> 00:44:14,250 seeing we're seeing a trend towards the 946 00:44:19,310 --> 00:44:16,020 opposite where people are so jaded 947 00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:19,320 they're so overwhelmed by the media and 948 00:44:24,890 --> 00:44:22,710 all these these subjects that you know 949 00:44:27,650 --> 00:44:24,900 just don't really the grip younger 950 00:44:29,780 --> 00:44:27,660 people I think we're seeing a some sort 951 00:44:33,859 --> 00:44:29,790 of like swayed to the opposite end of 952 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:33,869 the spectrum that could be I mean I you 953 00:44:39,530 --> 00:44:36,570 know I I mean you could you could say a 954 00:44:42,530 --> 00:44:39,540 lot of things about youth culture and I 955 00:44:44,660 --> 00:44:42,540 wouldn't be able to really say you know 956 00:44:47,690 --> 00:44:44,670 whether you're right or wrong I my 957 00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:47,700 experience of youth culture you know it 958 00:44:52,849 --> 00:44:49,020 came from teaching in the community 959 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:52,859 college for a few years in Massachusetts 960 00:44:57,950 --> 00:44:54,720 but um you know even though it's been a 961 00:45:01,550 --> 00:44:57,960 while back yeah I think there's this 962 00:45:03,829 --> 00:45:01,560 jaded miss but you know there's still an 963 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:03,839 enormous amount of belief in things like 964 00:45:10,550 --> 00:45:07,200 the afterlife belief in God you know I 965 00:45:11,900 --> 00:45:10,560 mean if you believe the polls you know 966 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:11,910 the block ninety percent of people 967 00:45:16,579 --> 00:45:14,010 believe in God or at least some sort of 968 00:45:19,460 --> 00:45:16,589 Supreme Being or some sort of higher 969 00:45:23,650 --> 00:45:19,470 power or one thing that that's always 970 00:45:27,670 --> 00:45:23,660 fascinated me is when they do polls 971 00:45:29,049 --> 00:45:27,680 police and reincarnation and I've seen a 972 00:45:30,579 --> 00:45:29,059 number of these you know they've been 973 00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:30,589 conducted over the last couple of 974 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:34,480 decades and they're pretty consistent 975 00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:36,890 they always the numbers always seem to 976 00:45:41,890 --> 00:45:39,950 end up someplace between 21 and 28 977 00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:41,900 percent of the US population that 978 00:45:49,329 --> 00:45:46,220 believes in reincarnation how many these 979 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:49,339 are young people and how many are older 980 00:45:54,730 --> 00:45:51,770 people I don't really know but there is 981 00:45:56,410 --> 00:45:54,740 still you know a lot of belief in in in 982 00:45:58,809 --> 00:45:56,420 these things I wanted one of things I 983 00:46:01,630 --> 00:45:58,819 found fascinating about one of those it 984 00:46:06,329 --> 00:46:01,640 was a Harris Poll I remember from 2007 985 00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:06,339 that said that indeed 21 percent of 986 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:09,049 Americans are believed in reincarnation 987 00:46:15,819 --> 00:46:12,530 and 25 percent of American Catholics 988 00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:15,829 believe in it which is kind of curious 989 00:46:21,670 --> 00:46:19,730 given that um you know so the the more 990 00:46:24,220 --> 00:46:21,680 Catholics who believe in reincarnation 991 00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:24,230 than in the population as a whole even 992 00:46:28,599 --> 00:46:25,880 though their own church has always 993 00:46:30,339 --> 00:46:28,609 taught against it so what's going on 994 00:46:32,650 --> 00:46:30,349 there you know I mean I think one thing 995 00:46:34,299 --> 00:46:32,660 is that people at least like to think of 996 00:46:37,539 --> 00:46:34,309 themselves as very independent minded 997 00:46:39,910 --> 00:46:37,549 and you know just because the church 998 00:46:40,870 --> 00:46:39,920 says so you know doesn't mean they're 999 00:46:42,970 --> 00:46:40,880 gonna buy it 1000 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:42,980 man that I think you know it's one 1001 00:46:46,930 --> 00:46:45,410 element of the jaded this and you know 1002 00:46:50,500 --> 00:46:46,940 skepticism I think that you're talking 1003 00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:50,510 about but I think they're still you know 1004 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:52,880 an enormous appetite for belief in that 1005 00:46:59,620 --> 00:46:56,450 sort of thing I mean the most obvious um 1006 00:47:02,079 --> 00:46:59,630 one you know and I'm sure you dealt with 1007 00:47:03,539 --> 00:47:02,089 this on your show is you know the 1008 00:47:06,730 --> 00:47:03,549 fascination with a near-death experience 1009 00:47:08,910 --> 00:47:06,740 um you know there's there's so many 1010 00:47:11,819 --> 00:47:08,920 near-death experiences so many 1011 00:47:14,980 --> 00:47:11,829 bestsellers out about near-death 1012 00:47:18,549 --> 00:47:14,990 experiences there's a real appetite for 1013 00:47:21,339 --> 00:47:18,559 it and and um you know that's you know 1014 00:47:24,940 --> 00:47:21,349 there's you know some jaded this about 1015 00:47:29,260 --> 00:47:24,950 it um but there's still you know a lot 1016 00:47:30,789 --> 00:47:29,270 of real interest and desire to know you 1017 00:47:32,380 --> 00:47:30,799 know not necessarily to believe it to 1018 00:47:34,779 --> 00:47:32,390 know you know that there are other 1019 00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:34,789 realities beyond you know the ones that 1020 00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:37,250 we normally take for granted yeah absol 1021 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:40,250 we had PMH Atwater as one of our guests 1022 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:42,170 here a couple of months back and we had 1023 00:47:46,630 --> 00:47:44,690 a fascinating discussion about the whole 1024 00:47:49,420 --> 00:47:46,640 subject of near-death experiences but 1025 00:47:52,359 --> 00:47:49,430 but in your in your book the dice game 1026 00:47:55,660 --> 00:47:52,369 of Shiva one of the things that I was 1027 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:55,670 really struck by is that you showed that 1028 00:48:00,609 --> 00:47:57,770 consciousness is is not just a mere 1029 00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:00,619 side-effect of neural processes but it 1030 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:02,990 somehow is tied in to how the universe 1031 00:48:09,730 --> 00:48:05,210 actually functions there's there's some 1032 00:48:10,750 --> 00:48:09,740 sort of like mechanistic connection 1033 00:48:16,030 --> 00:48:10,760 there yeah 1034 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:16,040 how does belief and in actual the 1035 00:48:22,390 --> 00:48:19,599 process of consciousness where do we see 1036 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:22,400 that sort of combining together in a 1037 00:48:29,650 --> 00:48:26,810 collective sense yeah that's a that's a 1038 00:48:32,260 --> 00:48:29,660 pretty intricate question you know I 1039 00:48:34,450 --> 00:48:32,270 mean the dice game of Shiva is the 1040 00:48:38,430 --> 00:48:34,460 previous book I wrote it was published 1041 00:48:42,910 --> 00:48:38,440 in 2009 it was a study of consciousness 1042 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:42,920 and basically what I was trying to say 1043 00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:45,170 in that book is and I defined 1044 00:48:50,770 --> 00:48:47,089 consciousness which a lot of books on 1045 00:48:54,130 --> 00:48:50,780 consciousness don't do as the capacity 1046 00:48:56,530 --> 00:48:54,140 to relate self and honor and this is 1047 00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:56,540 true kind of at all in all ways and it 1048 00:49:04,120 --> 00:48:58,210 all rattles 1049 00:49:05,829 --> 00:49:04,130 so that um consciousness is just not it 1050 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:05,839 now as you say kind of an epiphenomenon 1051 00:49:10,540 --> 00:49:08,330 of the brain that's limited to humans 1052 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:10,550 and therefore kind of like this weird 1053 00:49:17,020 --> 00:49:13,130 aberration but it's present in all 1054 00:49:20,349 --> 00:49:17,030 things in some form or another I mean I 1055 00:49:23,290 --> 00:49:20,359 in that um the book I quoted uh an 1056 00:49:25,690 --> 00:49:23,300 interview with Edison who said you know 1057 00:49:27,940 --> 00:49:25,700 all of these these chemicals are and are 1058 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:27,950 able to interact with each other you 1059 00:49:30,670 --> 00:49:29,450 know and all these marvelous ways do you 1060 00:49:33,970 --> 00:49:30,680 need to say they do that without some 1061 00:49:35,140 --> 00:49:33,980 kind of consciousness that is to say you 1062 00:49:36,820 --> 00:49:35,150 know it's nothing like you know they 1063 00:49:40,589 --> 00:49:36,830 have conscious will in the way that we 1064 00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:40,599 do but at some level in some way a 1065 00:49:48,010 --> 00:49:44,089 hydrogen atom has to know how to 1066 00:49:50,470 --> 00:49:48,020 recognize an oxygen atom and reactant in 1067 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:50,480 a certain way and of circumstances to 1068 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:51,490 produce 1069 00:49:56,250 --> 00:49:53,770 the way I'm seeing it so that that 1070 00:49:59,340 --> 00:49:56,260 consciousness you know is organic to 1071 00:50:05,340 --> 00:49:59,350 everything and our consciousness is only 1072 00:50:08,099 --> 00:50:05,350 a very very very small slice of that you 1073 00:50:08,670 --> 00:50:08,109 know even supposedly inanimate things do 1074 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:08,680 possess 1075 00:50:13,530 --> 00:50:12,010 consciousness in a way you know we all 1076 00:50:16,859 --> 00:50:13,540 know plants have you know certain types 1077 00:50:20,099 --> 00:50:16,869 of consciousness you know that concede 1078 00:50:22,020 --> 00:50:20,109 life of plants so that's that's the 1079 00:50:24,810 --> 00:50:22,030 that's the answer to that part of the 1080 00:50:27,330 --> 00:50:24,820 question you know there's but I think 1081 00:50:29,690 --> 00:50:27,340 you're also asking about you know in 1082 00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:29,700 training consciousness in training other 1083 00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:32,880 aspects of consciousness together into 1084 00:50:39,090 --> 00:50:36,880 some sort of kind of a formula where 1085 00:50:41,849 --> 00:50:39,100 it's like a self creating and 1086 00:50:43,950 --> 00:50:41,859 self-fulfilling prophecy you know going 1087 00:50:46,170 --> 00:50:43,960 back to the the top of our particular 1088 00:50:49,230 --> 00:50:46,180 conversation there about 2012 and and 1089 00:50:51,170 --> 00:50:49,240 the power belief and collective you know 1090 00:50:54,420 --> 00:50:51,180 the collective consciousness actually 1091 00:50:57,630 --> 00:50:54,430 manifesting something just out of pure 1092 00:51:00,210 --> 00:50:57,640 belief and in focusing you know 1093 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:00,220 collectively on something to such an 1094 00:51:04,260 --> 00:51:01,930 extent that you actually you know 1095 00:51:07,590 --> 00:51:04,270 manifest that which your your your 1096 00:51:09,660 --> 00:51:07,600 obsessing with this is a question that 1097 00:51:11,010 --> 00:51:09,670 will pursue in our next segment because 1098 00:51:13,020 --> 00:51:11,020 we have another kind

focusing on 1174 00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:22,370 long questions and answers I guess about 1175 00:54:25,870 --> 00:54:24,110 the nature of reality and whether we 1176 00:54:28,030 --> 00:54:25,880 create our own reality but then we get 1177 00:54:30,130 --> 00:54:28,040 to the larger question Richard what if 1178 00:54:32,290 --> 00:54:30,140 we have the matrix reality where maybe 1179 00:54:34,930 --> 00:54:32,300 we're all asleep somewhere and some 1180 00:54:37,900 --> 00:54:34,940 massive computer system is directing our 1181 00:54:39,850 --> 00:54:37,910 every action or expectation well you 1182 00:54:46,300 --> 00:54:39,860 know the answer to that you know in a 1183 00:54:47,770 --> 00:54:46,310 way is again I well in a sense it's kind 1184 00:54:50,020 --> 00:54:47,780 of the answer that Descartes gave 1185 00:54:52,750 --> 00:54:50,030 because he asked and you know that 1186 00:54:55,090 --> 00:54:52,760 really that very question in the 17th 1187 00:54:57,850 --> 00:54:55,100 century he said well how do I know I'm 1188 00:55:00,820 --> 00:54:57,860 not how do I know I'm not being deluded 1189 00:55:03,250 --> 00:55:00,830 uh you know my entire life by some cruel 1190 00:55:05,890 --> 00:55:03,260 demon and you know it's a very matrix 1191 00:55:08,950 --> 00:55:05,900 like question the Descartes got his 1192 00:55:13,270 --> 00:55:08,960 initial impetus I think as he was 1193 00:55:16,570 --> 00:55:13,280 marching from Spain to to Bohemia as 1194 00:55:18,610 --> 00:55:16,580 part of the army and he was told that by 1195 00:55:21,070 --> 00:55:18,620 an angel that came to him in a vision or 1196 00:55:23,110 --> 00:55:21,080 a dream that they the answer was in what 1197 00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:23,120 the measurement in number or something I 1198 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:25,250 even correct me if I'm wrong there yeah 1199 00:55:29,740 --> 00:55:28,130 yeah that I I mean I don't remember the 1200 00:55:32,230 --> 00:55:29,750 exact details but the story does go 1201 00:55:33,370 --> 00:55:32,240 something like that but you know in a 1202 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:33,380 sense what I'm talking about here is 1203 00:55:38,620 --> 00:55:35,690 simply that you know Descartes say well 1204 00:55:40,930 --> 00:55:38,630 if I don't know anything else and I may 1205 00:55:43,420 --> 00:55:40,940 not know anything else at least I know 1206 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:43,430 I'm experiencing something something 1207 00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:44,810 there's Sun to something having this 1208 00:55:49,110 --> 00:55:47,630 experience and you know he he took that 1209 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:49,120 in his own kind of philosophical 1210 00:55:55,690 --> 00:55:52,610 direction but I think that I think that 1211 00:55:58,930 --> 00:55:55,700 basic stance you know makes sense yeah 1212 00:56:01,180 --> 00:55:58,940 you know I think therefore I experience 1213 00:56:04,359 --> 00:56:01,190 therefore I am well 1214 00:56:09,099 --> 00:56:04,369 and the converse is true too you think 1215 00:56:10,210 --> 00:56:09,109 therefore you are right right so you 1216 00:56:13,059 --> 00:56:10,220 know I think I think there's that 1217 00:56:14,710 --> 00:56:13,069 element in it um you know he had his own 1218 00:56:16,870 --> 00:56:14,720 interpretation which I'm not going to 1219 00:56:19,599 --> 00:56:16,880 necessarily go into because I you know I 1220 00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:19,609 don't necessarily agree with all of this 1221 00:56:27,849 --> 00:56:23,990 but um you may not know whether you know 1222 00:56:29,740 --> 00:56:27,859 the reality you experience is actual but 1223 00:56:31,780 --> 00:56:29,750 you know at least you still know that 1224 00:56:34,630 --> 00:56:31,790 there's kind of a you having it whatever 1225 00:56:37,569 --> 00:56:34,640 this you is um I mean it gets funny of 1226 00:56:40,630 --> 00:56:37,579 course because you know if you believe a 1227 00:56:43,859 --> 00:56:40,640 lot of particularly Eastern but not only 1228 00:56:46,359 --> 00:56:43,869 Eastern philosophies it turns out that 1229 00:56:49,599 --> 00:56:46,369 they would say that the you that having 1230 00:56:53,589 --> 00:56:49,609 this experience is uh you know the kind 1231 00:56:55,569 --> 00:56:53,599 of a core of a delusion which is uh you 1232 00:56:59,109 --> 00:56:55,579 know it's an interesting subject to 1233 00:57:02,140 --> 00:56:59,119 explore I don't necessarily agree with 1234 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:02,150 that myself but um you know there's some 1235 00:57:06,609 --> 00:57:03,490 people have taken it in that direction 1236 00:57:08,620 --> 00:57:06,619 that um that you know that we are being 1237 00:57:12,220 --> 00:57:08,630 diluted by this cruel demon and it's 1238 00:57:14,220 --> 00:57:12,230 it's all kind of personal egos well then 1239 00:57:17,319 --> 00:57:14,230 how would you explain moments of gnosis 1240 00:57:21,190 --> 00:57:17,329 well I guess the way that you explain it 1241 00:57:24,819 --> 00:57:21,200 would be that you know if this is this 1242 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:24,829 kind of experience is delusory we must 1243 00:57:29,859 --> 00:57:26,810 have at least some capacity for 1244 00:57:33,460 --> 00:57:29,869 experiencing reality and truth and those 1245 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:33,470 most moments of gnosis would then be you 1246 00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:37,010 know some of those moments of truth that 1247 00:57:44,140 --> 00:57:40,300 somehow Tony ate through the you know 1248 00:57:48,370 --> 00:57:44,150 the layers of the matrix right this 1249 00:57:50,020 --> 00:57:48,380 software program right right of course 1250 00:57:52,420 --> 00:57:50,030 we wonder what happens to the software 1251 00:57:54,970 --> 00:57:52,430 program led develops bugs or is infected 1252 00:57:56,829 --> 00:57:54,980 by malware okay maybe that's the problem 1253 00:57:59,170 --> 00:57:56,839 the other thing of course about reality 1254 00:58:05,589 --> 00:57:59,180 is whether we are all just somebody's 1255 00:58:08,609 --> 00:58:05,599 video game you know the answer to kind 1256 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:08,619 of a lot of that is even if it's true 1257 00:58:15,069 --> 00:58:11,210 it's kind of a hard thing to go around 1258 00:58:17,319 --> 00:58:15,079 believing in your day-to-day lies and 1259 00:58:19,150 --> 00:58:17,329 you know the thing about a lot of 1260 00:58:21,190 --> 00:58:19,160 skeptics is these questions are 1261 00:58:23,199 --> 00:58:21,200 interesting that you know answer you 1262 00:58:26,019 --> 00:58:23,209 know I can doubt you know the existence 1263 00:58:28,150 --> 00:58:26,029 of everyday reality but in practice I'm 1264 00:58:31,029 --> 00:58:28,160 going to ask act as if it still exists 1265 00:58:34,930 --> 00:58:31,039 and you know that's really the only way 1266 00:58:38,289 --> 00:58:34,940 to do it because otherwise you know 1267 00:58:40,620 --> 00:58:38,299 therein lies madness people write a slap 1268 00:58:45,789 --> 00:58:40,630 in the face and a kick in the tail-end 1269 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:45,799 hurts exactly exactly you know and you 1270 00:58:49,989 --> 00:58:47,450 know those have been uh you know some of 1271 00:58:51,759 --> 00:58:49,999 the kind of reputations of it that have 1272 00:58:53,859 --> 00:58:51,769 been made now there were you know there 1273 00:58:56,769 --> 00:58:53,869 are lots of other things going on as 1274 00:58:59,589 --> 00:58:56,779 well which is you know it could be that 1275 00:59:02,799 --> 00:58:59,599 you know the fact that a slap and a kick 1276 00:59:05,079 --> 00:59:02,809 hood uh you know is itself kind of you 1277 00:59:06,969 --> 00:59:05,089 know an organic part of a delusion 1278 00:59:09,670 --> 00:59:06,979 you know um one could go and look at 1279 00:59:11,589 --> 00:59:09,680 that point of view on my own from my own 1280 00:59:14,039 --> 00:59:11,599 perspective to kind of you know put this 1281 00:59:16,630 --> 00:59:14,049 in in in you know some kind of 1282 00:59:18,969 --> 00:59:16,640 perspective I think these questions are 1283 00:59:21,459 --> 00:59:18,979 interesting to look at and to think 1284 00:59:23,650 --> 00:59:21,469 about you know not necessarily because 1285 00:59:27,519 --> 00:59:23,660 they're gonna like lead you in some you 1286 00:59:29,499 --> 00:59:27,529 know wildly new direction of belief you 1287 00:59:32,949 --> 00:59:29,509 know about your universe or about your 1288 00:59:36,039 --> 00:59:32,959 life but you know they that it they 1289 00:59:39,039 --> 00:59:36,049 stretch your mind and you know they at 1290 00:59:41,769 --> 00:59:39,049 least ask you to accommodate certain 1291 00:59:43,779 --> 00:59:41,779 possibilities that most people you know 1292 00:59:46,269 --> 00:59:43,789 don't want to take for granted even most 1293 00:59:50,079 --> 00:59:46,279 you know educated you know thoughtful 1294 00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:50,089 supposedly thoughtful people don't take 1295 00:59:54,009 --> 00:59:52,849 for granted one thing that I was struck 1296 00:59:56,620 --> 00:59:54,019 me in your book and probably the 1297 01:00:00,299 --> 00:59:56,630 shortest chapter which is chapter 10 1298 01:00:04,479 --> 01:00:00,309 called hidden masters in your opinion 1299 01:00:09,309 --> 01:00:04,489 what is the operative inspiration that 1300 01:00:13,779 --> 01:00:09,319 creates a Buddha or a Christ type figure 1301 01:00:16,719 --> 01:00:13,789 or a Lao Tzu or you know one of any of a 1302 01:00:19,689 --> 01:00:16,729 number of what are now considered 1303 01:00:22,479 --> 01:00:19,699 masters what do you think separates 1304 01:00:25,509 --> 01:00:22,489 their process from the average person's 1305 01:00:28,870 --> 01:00:25,519 process and and what are the aspects of 1306 01:00:33,930 --> 01:00:28,880 their separation that make them stick 1307 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:37,960 well I think one thing is that you know 1308 01:00:43,029 --> 01:00:40,130 they you know what they tended to have 1309 01:00:47,470 --> 01:00:43,039 in common is that they had from you know 1310 01:00:51,789 --> 01:00:47,480 all expanded human consciousness and 1311 01:00:56,380 --> 01:00:51,799 awareness in new in different ways that 1312 01:00:59,710 --> 01:00:56,390 were needed at the time you know we kind 1313 01:01:03,130 --> 01:00:59,720 of tend to trust love is a cliche you 1314 01:01:08,829 --> 01:01:03,140 know at this point as we remember is 1315 01:01:10,390 --> 01:01:08,839 Valentine's Day approaches um but you 1316 01:01:11,950 --> 01:01:10,400 know all you need is love you know I 1317 01:01:13,839 --> 01:01:11,960 mean you know you know you can you can 1318 01:01:18,009 --> 01:01:13,849 go through as many songs as I can you 1319 01:01:21,999 --> 01:01:18,019 know on this whole theme but really it 1320 01:01:24,460 --> 01:01:22,009 was Christianity that brought log to the 1321 01:01:26,529 --> 01:01:24,470 floor no one really talked about love as 1322 01:01:29,980 --> 01:01:26,539 kind of a central thing in the universe 1323 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:29,990 before Christianity and that was you 1324 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:32,210 know probably Christ's contribution um 1325 01:01:37,620 --> 01:01:35,690 that you know he's kind of intuited you 1326 01:01:40,329 --> 01:01:37,630 know that love is much more important 1327 01:01:43,269 --> 01:01:40,339 force in the universe and it had been 1328 01:01:45,549 --> 01:01:43,279 given credit for even if a lot of you 1329 01:01:49,390 --> 01:01:45,559 know the ethical teachings that he gave 1330 01:01:52,809 --> 01:01:49,400 were you know not totally unlike those 1331 01:01:55,210 --> 01:01:52,819 that you know other religions and other 1332 01:01:57,670 --> 01:01:55,220 traditions gave as well so I think that 1333 01:01:59,859 --> 01:01:57,680 that that possibility of opening minds 1334 01:02:04,269 --> 01:01:59,869 and just totally new directions 1335 01:02:06,670 --> 01:02:04,279 extremely important part of it um you 1336 01:02:08,740 --> 01:02:06,680 know what then there's this question 1337 01:02:10,180 --> 01:02:08,750 like well what constitutes something 1338 01:02:11,859 --> 01:02:10,190 that's um 1339 01:02:16,299 --> 01:02:11,869 you know a being whose shall we say 1340 01:02:19,059 --> 01:02:16,309 superhuman um is a superhuman being one 1341 01:02:21,789 --> 01:02:19,069 who's kind of superhuman in functioning 1342 01:02:25,450 --> 01:02:21,799 that is to say someone who can you know 1343 01:02:27,339 --> 01:02:25,460 materialize it well and so on you know 1344 01:02:30,190 --> 01:02:27,349 possibly and you know there are there 1345 01:02:32,559 --> 01:02:30,200 stories of that and you know I have to 1346 01:02:34,630 --> 01:02:32,569 say I've never had any experience like 1347 01:02:35,950 --> 01:02:34,640 that so I don't know I'm not I'm not not 1348 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:35,960 really all that interested in just 1349 01:02:42,210 --> 01:02:38,930 missing it out of hand the seven labors 1350 01:02:45,599 --> 01:02:42,220 of Hercules right 1351 01:02:47,970 --> 01:02:45,609 but another aspect of these kind of 1352 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:47,980 superior individuals you know that we do 1353 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:51,970 sometimes see is a much higher ethical 1354 01:03:01,950 --> 01:02:57,010 level and the normal person normally 1355 01:03:03,300 --> 01:03:01,960 displays you know and that you know you 1356 01:03:05,670 --> 01:03:03,310 know what actually happened of a 1357 01:03:08,310 --> 01:03:05,680 crucifixion of Christ and and and so on 1358 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:08,320 is you know the subject for you know 1359 01:03:13,140 --> 01:03:11,050 hours and hours of radio shows but I 1360 01:03:14,670 --> 01:03:13,150 know shall we have to do a break and 1361 01:03:17,940 --> 01:03:14,680 then we'll get into more of this maybe 1362 01:03:20,580 --> 01:03:17,950 maybe that's why we like our super 1363 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:20,590 heroes like Superman right and by the 1364 01:03:24,690 --> 01:03:22,330 way if you have a comment or a question 1365 01:03:26,790

late mayor Edward Koch asked 1481 01:08:23,209 --> 01:08:20,889 how am i doing you doing find my friend 1482 01:08:25,979 --> 01:08:23,219 book is supernatural from Richard smoly 1483 01:08:27,570 --> 01:08:25,989 exploring the frontiers of reality but 1484 01:08:29,729 --> 01:08:27,580 it's almost a silly question but I'll 1485 01:08:32,820 --> 01:08:29,739 ask it anyway because I raised it the 1486 01:08:34,829 --> 01:08:32,830 fact that we so much love these 1487 01:08:36,990 --> 01:08:34,839 superheroes who are so much better than 1488 01:08:39,539 --> 01:08:37,000 we are they have these powers almost 1489 01:08:41,939 --> 01:08:39,549 godlike and if you look at the trailer 1490 01:08:44,010 --> 01:08:41,949 for the new rendition of Superman called 1491 01:08:45,809 --> 01:08:44,020 Man of Steel they're trying to present 1492 01:08:48,809 --> 01:08:45,819 him almost as a god-like figure don't 1493 01:08:52,620 --> 01:08:48,819 you think yes and you know I mean it's a 1494 01:08:55,649 --> 01:08:52,630 curious irony uh where did the notion of 1495 01:08:57,209 --> 01:08:55,659 the Superman come from well you know it 1496 01:08:59,160 --> 01:08:57,219 actually comes from Nietzsche the 1497 01:09:02,849 --> 01:08:59,170 philosopher Nietzsche you know and he 1498 01:09:04,590 --> 01:09:02,859 said um you know god is dead long live 1499 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:04,600 the Superman you know that's that's 1500 01:09:12,990 --> 01:09:09,690 almost verbatim quote amici's now I am 1501 01:09:14,430 --> 01:09:13,000 fairly strongly convinced for reasons 1502 01:09:16,050 --> 01:09:14,440 that are too intricate to go in here 1503 01:09:19,410 --> 01:09:16,060 that you know at least some of the 1504 01:09:22,079 --> 01:09:19,420 people who were involved in designing 1505 01:09:25,559 --> 01:09:22,089 Superman or at least aware of each ease 1506 01:09:27,599 --> 01:09:25,569 ideas and you know if you know you had 1507 01:09:29,189 --> 01:09:27,609 it which is this has been just becomes 1508 01:09:32,789 --> 01:09:29,199 like another topic in itself like to 1509 01:09:36,059 --> 01:09:32,799 what extent do esoteric mystical ideas 1510 01:09:38,939 --> 01:09:36,069 um permeate mass culture and how do they 1511 01:09:40,530 --> 01:09:38,949 get around to doing that but you know 1512 01:09:44,970 --> 01:09:40,540 the other thing about Superman is kind 1513 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:44,980 of a semi-divine figure and again one of 1514 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:46,810 the things that makes him sending divine 1515 01:09:50,879 --> 01:09:48,130 and that's that's kind of one of the 1516 01:09:55,140 --> 01:09:50,889 points I was uh you know making earlier 1517 01:09:58,290 --> 01:09:55,150 is not only his uh you know capacity to 1518 01:10:00,959 --> 01:09:58,300 you know stop trains and you know do all 1519 01:10:03,570 --> 01:10:00,969 that sort of thing but you know it's 1520 01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:03,580 sort of superior ethical 1521 01:10:07,950 --> 01:10:06,130 dance you know that he's always fighting 1522 01:10:10,230 --> 01:10:07,960 for her you know it used to be known as 1523 01:10:12,060 --> 01:10:10,240 truth justice and the American Way 1524 01:10:15,690 --> 01:10:12,070 and you know this kind of ethical 1525 01:10:19,310 --> 01:10:15,700 superiority in a way is this much part 1526 01:10:21,810 --> 01:10:19,320 of the Superman mystique as the 1527 01:10:23,430 --> 01:10:21,820 superpowers themselves well the one 1528 01:10:24,930 --> 01:10:23,440 thing about Superman is he always had a 1529 01:10:28,260 --> 01:10:24,940 higher ethical standard 1530 01:10:29,910 --> 01:10:28,270 but one thing started by Jean hold on 1531 01:10:33,620 --> 01:10:29,920 hold on when Superman came out he was 1532 01:10:36,480 --> 01:10:33,630 nothing more than a a very artful well 1533 01:10:38,460 --> 01:10:36,490 calculated propaganda tool during World 1534 01:10:40,290 --> 01:10:38,470 War two well we understand how they 1535 01:10:42,690 --> 01:10:40,300 would use them because of that but the 1536 01:10:46,110 --> 01:10:42,700 essence of Superman is he has a higher 1537 01:10:47,790 --> 01:10:46,120 moral ethical behavior because he comes 1538 01:10:50,670 --> 01:10:47,800 from this advanced race of beings from 1539 01:10:54,030 --> 01:10:50,680 Krypton so what is kryptonite that's the 1540 01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:54,040 devil I guess but what but the one thing 1541 01:11:00,030 --> 01:10:57,130 about it is that the later class of 1542 01:11:02,330 --> 01:11:00,040 superheroes which came from Stan Lee for 1543 01:11:05,130 --> 01:11:02,340 example they were troubled 1544 01:11:07,020 --> 01:11:05,140 psychologically impacted by their 1545 01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:07,030 superpowers are just generally screwed 1546 01:11:11,940 --> 01:11:09,400 up anyway and through some accent or 1547 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:11,950 fate they become superheroes that only 1548 01:11:16,830 --> 01:11:15,370 makes them crazier and wacky well you 1549 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:16,840 know that's that's the thing you know a 1550 01:11:21,930 --> 01:11:19,810 general starts out I mean all genres 1551 01:11:25,470 --> 01:11:21,940 start out kind of fairly simple and 1552 01:11:28,530 --> 01:11:25,480 cartoon-like and you know as people keep 1553 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:28,540 on exploring the possibilities of them 1554 01:11:35,220 --> 01:11:32,890 you know get began you know both weirder 1555 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:35,230 and more sophisticated and you know I 1556 01:11:43,500 --> 01:11:38,410 think that's probably true with the 1557 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:43,510 whole superhero but really interesting I 1558 01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:45,250 think dovetails into an interesting 1559 01:11:49,710 --> 01:11:47,200 subject and you have a very interesting 1560 01:11:53,460 --> 01:11:49,720 chapter in your book supernatural about 1561 01:11:57,500 --> 01:11:53,470 it lantus and I think in the New Age 1562 01:12:01,730 --> 01:11:57,510 community Atlantis has almost 1563 01:12:05,580 --> 01:12:01,740 transcended into this realm of 1564 01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:05,590 superheroes and exalted levels of 1565 01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:09,910 Technology and knowledge and some sort 1566 01:12:14,049 --> 01:12:12,000 of connection to some sort of divine 1567 01:12:15,879 --> 01:12:14,059 imperative 1568 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:15,889 why don't you explain to us you're 1569 01:12:20,950 --> 01:12:18,530 thinking about Atlantis as you put it in 1570 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:20,960 your chapter heading Atlantis then and 1571 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:21,530 now 1572 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:27,170 okay well Atlantis first was kind of 1573 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:29,770 just a bit of history um 1574 01:12:38,859 --> 01:12:35,449 Atlantis uh Atlantis myth was brought to 1575 01:12:40,810 --> 01:12:38,869 us by Plato in a dialogue as his called 1576 01:12:42,370 --> 01:12:40,820 the tiniest another one called of 1577 01:12:47,799 --> 01:12:42,380 prettiest which is sort of a follow up 1578 01:12:53,020 --> 01:12:47,809 and in it he claimed that uh the Greek 1579 01:12:57,339 --> 01:12:53,030 uh kind of sage so long 1580 01:13:00,370 --> 01:12:57,349 visited Egypt around 600 BC and was told 1581 01:13:01,750 --> 01:13:00,380 by the priests there that well you know 1582 01:13:03,580 --> 01:13:01,760 they basically said you know you Greeks 1583 01:13:07,089 --> 01:13:03,590 and are just children you you know you 1584 01:13:10,029 --> 01:13:07,099 got no sense of history at all history 1585 01:13:12,370 --> 01:13:10,039 goes back you know thousands and 1586 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:12,380 thousands of years and you know part of 1587 01:13:21,910 --> 01:13:16,449 this story was the myth of Atlantis this 1588 01:13:23,410 --> 01:13:21,920 continent that was in the UM well I 1589 01:13:25,330 --> 01:13:23,420 guess Plato basically said it's by the 1590 01:13:28,810 --> 01:13:25,340 you know the Straits of Gibraltar the 1591 01:13:32,589 --> 01:13:28,820 Pillars of Hercules as it was known and 1592 01:13:34,750 --> 01:13:32,599 uh in those days and this continent uh 1593 01:13:38,290 --> 01:13:34,760 you know what's your an incredible 1594 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:38,300 Cataclysm and sank uh you know and and 1595 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:41,170 the Year given uh well you know is 1596 01:13:49,839 --> 01:13:47,090 translated our turns 9600 BC well you 1597 01:13:52,990 --> 01:13:49,849 know this is all kind of you know this 1598 01:13:54,490 --> 01:13:53,000 law of it probable sounding but it's 1599 01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:54,500 starting to sound a little less than 1600 01:13:59,560 --> 01:13:58,010 probable these days because you know 1601 01:14:02,560 --> 01:13:59,570 we're starting to you know think of 1602 01:14:05,529 --> 01:14:02,570 whole countries that may be merged by 1603 01:14:07,029 --> 01:14:05,539 rising ocean levels from global warming 1604 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:07,039 like the Maldive islands in the Indian 1605 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:09,770 Ocean yeah I mean they're you know this 1606 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:11,570 is kind of like a modern modern-day 1607 01:14:16,450 --> 01:14:14,090 Atlantis waiting to happen I mean the 1608 01:14:18,279 --> 01:14:16,460 sea levels rise uh you know above a 1609 01:14:20,430 --> 01:14:18,289 certain level you know the Maldive 1610 01:14:24,459 --> 01:14:20,440 islands are going to be underwater 1611 01:14:27,790 --> 01:14:24,469 interestingly enough uh in that date 1612 01:14:31,750 --> 01:14:27,800 that Plato gives you know 9600 1613 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:31,760 see it's actually pretty close to the 1614 01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:34,850 end of the last ice age correct and we 1615 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:38,750 know at the end of the last ice age you 1616 01:14:45,250 --> 01:14:41,170 know a lot of bits of land that were 1617 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:45,260 formerly above water went underwater so 1618 01:14:50,740 --> 01:14:48,410 you know I mean there's no I mean even 1619 01:14:54,070 --> 01:14:50,750 from a purely like totally straight 1620 01:14:56,620 --> 01:14:54,080 scientific viewpoint there's no reason 1621 01:15:00,430 --> 01:14:56,630 to disbelieve in Atlantis uh you know as 1622 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:00,440 such it's not it's not like paranormal 1623 01:15:04,510 --> 01:15:02,570 phenomena or UFOs or you have to kind of 1624 01:15:07,030 --> 01:15:04,520 you know really stretch your your your 1625 01:15:11,380 --> 01:15:07,040 deal with reality to you know even make 1626 01:15:13,660 --> 01:15:11,390 sense of it here um no this is according 1627 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:13,670 to you know standard science this is 1628 01:15:18,850 --> 01:15:16,370 what happened um there's no reason a 1629 01:15:20,830 --> 01:15:18,860 comparatively advanced civilization 1630 01:15:24,970 --> 01:15:20,840 couldn't have existed 1631 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:24,980 that you know was inundated Plato's own 1632 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:27,010 account of it is very clearly 1633 01:15:33,370 --> 01:15:30,290 allegorical in a lot of ways he was into 1634 01:15:35,620 --> 01:15:33,380 sacred geometry and that kind of thing 1635 01:15:37,810 --> 01:15:35,630 and a lot of his account you know it has 1636 01:15:41,430 --> 01:15:37,820 a lot to do with that well there was 1637 01:15:44,140 --> 01:15:41,440 also issues of abuse of power and 1638 01:15:46,890 --> 01:15:44,150 punishment the end of the civilization 1639 01:15:49,570 --> 01:15:46,900 occurred because of the Atlanteans not 1640 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:49,580 you know maintaining that higher ideal 1641 01:15:55,480 --> 01:15:53,090 right and you know

all day long they've got their 1789 01:22:34,740 --> 01:22:33,190 mobile phone in their ear and they just 1790 01:22:37,230 --> 01:22:34,750 stand stay away from it you know they're 1791 01:22:38,580 --> 01:22:37,240 doing a transaction and they have to pay 1792 01:22:40,980 --> 01:22:38,590 for something but they're on the phone 1793 01:22:42,810 --> 01:22:40,990 now my problem is the other way which is 1794 01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:42,820 I'm not usually talking to somebody when 1795 01:22:47,460 --> 01:22:44,650 I'm at the checkout counter if that's 1796 01:22:51,660 --> 01:22:47,470 when the phone rings yeah well I think 1797 01:22:54,810 --> 01:22:51,670 you know the danger there you know with 1798 01:22:57,390 --> 01:22:54,820 that technology is you know is it is it 1799 01:22:59,700 --> 01:22:57,400 spiritually corrupting or I don't know I 1800 01:23:04,080 --> 01:22:59,710 I think cognitively it's very 1801 01:23:06,450 --> 01:23:04,090 distracting and a lot of the you know a 1802 01:23:08,580 --> 01:23:06,460 lot of the kind of cognitive disorders 1803 01:23:10,919 --> 01:23:08,590 were seeing are the result of this kind 1804 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:10,929 of just increased association well you 1805 01:23:15,209 --> 01:23:13,570 know doing too many things at a time not 1806 01:23:18,209 --> 01:23:15,219 to mention this side of the head brain 1807 01:23:20,959 --> 01:23:18,219 cancer right right yeah all that stuff 1808 01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:20,969 too but um you know people are just uh 1809 01:23:28,380 --> 01:23:24,250 you know doing too many things at once 1810 01:23:30,630 --> 01:23:28,390 the and you know your brain kind of gets 1811 01:23:33,689 --> 01:23:30,640 dissociated as a result of doing that I 1812 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:33,699 mean you know I certainly do it most 1813 01:23:38,070 --> 01:23:35,770 people do it it's it's not so much an 1814 01:23:39,209 --> 01:23:38,080 ethical judgment but it's part of a you 1815 01:23:42,270 --> 01:23:39,219 know one of the concerns about our 1816 01:23:45,300 --> 01:23:42,280 civilization today you know our 1817 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:45,310 awareness of our own surroundings you 1818 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:48,489 know is often really just way in the 1819 01:23:53,490 --> 01:23:51,130 background but you know beyond a certain 1820 01:23:57,330 --> 01:23:53,500 point that can't be that good well do 1821 01:23:59,459 --> 01:23:57,340 you see this progressing forward in kind 1822 01:24:02,630 --> 01:23:59,469 of an obvious way towards some sort of I 1823 01:24:06,020 --> 01:24:02,640 don't know twisted transhumanism where 1824 01:24:08,220 --> 01:24:06,030 humans become further and further 1825 01:24:11,580 --> 01:24:08,230 disassociated from their humanity and 1826 01:24:14,550 --> 01:24:11,590 become more robotic and sort of bought 1827 01:24:16,750 --> 01:24:14,560 into into the digital age what do you 1828 01:24:23,770 --> 01:24:16,760 think 1829 01:24:27,330 --> 01:24:23,780 kind of have to remember is that you 1830 01:24:31,330 --> 01:24:27,340 know we you know and prophecy and 1831 01:24:32,620 --> 01:24:31,340 futurology which are similar arts you 1832 01:24:37,299 --> 01:24:32,630 know are also things that are discussed 1833 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:37,309 in my week and always to assume that the 1834 01:24:41,189 --> 01:24:38,690 future is going to be kind of a 1835 01:24:44,229 --> 01:24:41,199 continuation of the past that is to say 1836 01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:44,239 any current trend is just going to 1837 01:24:50,140 --> 01:24:47,090 continue on and on forever until it 1838 01:24:52,810 --> 01:24:50,150 reaches some kind of extreme and you 1839 01:24:55,330 --> 01:24:52,820 know circumstances don't really work 1840 01:24:57,879 --> 01:24:55,340 that way um there are always these 1841 01:25:02,649 --> 01:24:57,889 changes and disconnects and kind of 1842 01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:02,659 radical shifts that nobody expected so I 1843 01:25:09,310 --> 01:25:04,730 don't see any reason why something like 1844 01:25:11,729 --> 01:25:09,320 that can't occur knows about same and it 1845 01:25:14,470 --> 01:25:11,739 is unexpected that you know I you know 1846 01:25:16,390 --> 01:25:14,480 everybody else you know not expecting it 1847 01:25:20,259 --> 01:25:16,400 but that doesn't mean you know it's not 1848 01:25:23,799 --> 01:25:20,269 going to happen we you know we may uh 1849 01:25:25,209 --> 01:25:23,809 you know suddenly someday everyone may 1850 01:25:26,770 --> 01:25:25,219 just sort of say you know this stuff is 1851 01:25:30,220 --> 01:25:26,780 boring let's do something else with our 1852 01:25:33,759 --> 01:25:30,230 time right started commune in southern 1853 01:25:36,759 --> 01:25:33,769 Colorado you know one of the chapters 1854 01:25:39,580 --> 01:25:36,769 that I was really quite fascinated by is 1855 01:25:41,770 --> 01:25:39,590 chapter three in your book supernatural 1856 01:25:43,779 --> 01:25:41,780 does prophecy work 1857 01:25:47,770 --> 01:25:43,789 now we're talking we're looking forward 1858 01:25:50,859 --> 01:25:47,780 here in time and obviously throughout 1859 01:25:53,140 --> 01:25:50,869 human history there have been sages and 1860 01:25:55,990 --> 01:25:53,150 and prophets and and people that have 1861 01:25:58,959 --> 01:25:56,000 projected ahead Nostradamus you have a 1862 01:26:01,839 --> 01:25:58,969 chapter on Nostradamus where do you come 1863 01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:01,849 down a prophecy uh for our listeners so 1864 01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:04,010 I was fascinated by this particular 1865 01:26:09,060 --> 01:26:07,489 chapter and I love figlio Elissa date 1866 01:26:12,279 --> 01:26:09,070 something you're thinking about that 1867 01:26:15,009 --> 01:26:12,289 well as far as prophecies concerned in 1868 01:26:18,310 --> 01:26:15,019 in general you know I guess I I tend to 1869 01:26:21,279 --> 01:26:18,320 be fairly skeptical you know just 1870 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:21,289 because the record of prophecy uh just 1871 01:26:26,770 --> 01:26:24,650 hasn't been that good um you know going 1872 01:26:28,419 --> 01:26:26,780 back to the apocalyptic you know 1873 01:26:30,370 --> 01:26:28,429 mentality that I was talking about at 1874 01:26:34,060 --> 01:26:30,380 the beginning of the interview you 1875 01:26:36,430 --> 01:26:34,070 um Christianity for example really got 1876 01:26:37,870 --> 01:26:36,440 its start because first generation of 1877 01:26:41,050 --> 01:26:37,880 Christians thought the end of the world 1878 01:26:43,810 --> 01:26:41,060 was literally at hand you know this just 1879 01:26:46,030 --> 01:26:43,820 didn't happen um you know and 1880 01:26:49,780 --> 01:26:46,040 Christianity ever since has been kind of 1881 01:26:53,290 --> 01:26:49,790 like trying to figure out what to do was 1882 01:26:55,530 --> 01:26:53,300 as a result of that that failure usually 1883 01:26:59,830 --> 01:26:55,540 by predicting at the end of the world is 1884 01:27:04,300 --> 01:26:59,840 now reconciliation is not an option 1885 01:27:10,689 --> 01:27:04,310 right now prophecy is interesting in a 1886 01:27:14,830 --> 01:27:10,699 lot of ways one thing is what can you 1887 01:27:17,050 --> 01:27:14,840 expect a prophet to say well for the 1888 01:27:19,540 --> 01:27:17,060 profitable or that were the type we're 1889 01:27:21,870 --> 01:27:19,550 talking about I mean you have to expect 1890 01:27:24,820 --> 01:27:21,880 uh you know some kind of radical 1891 01:27:26,860 --> 01:27:24,830 dislocation some kind of great changes 1892 01:27:28,870 --> 01:27:26,870 because otherwise you know who would 1893 01:27:31,450 --> 01:27:28,880 care you know if some if some you know 1894 01:27:35,110 --> 01:27:31,460 some kind of Nostradamus or Edgar Cayce 1895 01:27:36,399 --> 01:27:35,120 said came out and said um well he was 1896 01:27:39,220 --> 01:27:36,409 just pretty much gonna be the way they 1897 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:39,230 are for quite a while this person might 1898 01:27:43,870 --> 01:27:41,210 actually have a fairly good chance of 1899 01:27:46,300 --> 01:27:43,880 being right but who would be interested 1900 01:27:49,020 --> 01:27:46,310 in who would want to read that um you 1901 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:49,030 know there's no there's a market for it 1902 01:27:56,290 --> 01:27:54,530 um so the apocalyptic prophet you know 1903 01:28:00,370 --> 01:27:56,300 as I've been calling him you know you 1904 01:28:03,100 --> 01:28:00,380 know is it's very very happy to predict 1905 01:28:04,990 --> 01:28:03,110 all kinds of disasters and dislocations 1906 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:05,000 and you know the moon turning the blood 1907 01:28:09,939 --> 01:28:06,770 and so on 1908 01:28:13,300 --> 01:28:09,949 you know contrast it to you know the 1909 01:28:15,450 --> 01:28:13,310 more mundane type of profit you know 1910 01:28:19,810 --> 01:28:15,460 which you might call a futurologist 1911 01:28:22,030 --> 01:28:19,820 cuz well yeah you know uh though these 1912 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:22,040 these guys I mean you know most of them 1913 01:28:27,850 --> 01:28:26,810 have no particular alcohol meant how do 1914 01:28:34,390 --> 01:28:27,860 they predict the future 1915 01:28:37,450 --> 01:28:34,400 saying well if current trends continue X 1916 01:28:39,310 --> 01:28:37,460 and such is going to happen but you know 1917 01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:39,320 as we know current trends don't continue 1918 01:28:46,510 --> 01:28:43,850 um you know I read a fascinating book of 1919 01:28:51,820 --> 01:28:46,520 couple of years ago called a year 2000 1920 01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:51,830 that was written in 1967 and it was by 1921 01:28:56,710 --> 01:28:53,570 Herman Kahn it was kind of one of them 1922 01:29:01,900 --> 01:28:56,720 kind of one of the great you know real 1923 01:29:04,930 --> 01:29:01,910 or imagined futurologist of the time and 1924 01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:04,940 you know he got some things right uh one 1925 01:29:10,150 --> 01:29:06,650 thing he got right what the computers 1926 01:29:12,070 --> 01:29:10,160 would be used for banking but you know 1927 01:29:16,450 --> 01:29:12,080 he also predicted that you know this 1928 01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:16,460 kind of uh gradual uh continuous you 1929 01:29:21,010 --> 01:29:19,250 know the continuation and growth with no 1930 01:29:24,490 --> 01:29:21,020 you know or what used to be called the 1931 01:29:26,620 --> 01:29:24,500 welfare state and you know no actually 1932 01:29:28,450 --> 01:29:26,630 the welfare state is uh you know what 1933 01:29:32,140 --> 01:29:28,460 who approve of it or not the welfare 1934 01:29:34,540 --> 01:29:32,150 state in um not only in the US but in in 1935 01:29:37,330 --> 01:29:34,550 most of the world is actually retrench 1936 01:29:38,650 --> 01:29:37,340 quite a bit uh he was making his 1937 01:29:40,870 --> 01:29:38,660 predictions which were perfectly 1938 01:29:43,990 --> 01:29:40,880 reasonable on the basis of what they 1939 01:29:47,050 --> 01:29:44,000 knew at the time by the way there is 1940 01:29:51,580 --> 01:29:47,060 nothing in that book absolutely zero zip 1941 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:51,590 zero not religion and in those days um 1942 01:29:56,460 --> 01:29:53,930 it was kind of generally assumed that 1943 01:29:59,650 --> 01:29:56,470 religion was kind of his crate uh 1944 01:30:01,570 --> 01:29:59,660 survival from the past and you know in 1945 01:30:03,370 --> 01:30:01,580 this age when you know we would be all 1946 01:30:06,490 --> 01:30:03,380 you know running are living you know 1947 01:30:09,060 --> 01:30:06,500 being in mylar suits and

of a 1951 01:30:19,450 --> 01:30:16,790 replacement for outmoded religious 1952 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:19,460 structures and control system by the way 1953 01:30:24,550 --> 01:30:21,530 we've now also

almost a year at the Forum this is 2067 01:35:33,780 --> 01:35:31,610 an interesting one 2068 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:33,790 I'd like to get your take on it he asked 2069 01:35:38,650 --> 01:35:36,530 mortification of the flesh has occurred 2070 01:35:41,230 --> 01:35:38,660 in various religions around the world a 2071 01:35:43,210 --> 01:35:41,240 number of Catholic saints as well as 2072 01:35:45,270 --> 01:35:43,220 other figures including Pope John Paul 2073 01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:45,280 the second that's news to me 2074 01:35:51,370 --> 01:35:48,410 practice self-flagellation among other 2075 01:35:54,670 --> 01:35:51,380 acts to what extent do these acts serve 2076 01:35:57,550 --> 01:35:54,680 an ecstatic function that is in addition 2077 01:35:59,800 --> 01:35:57,560 to serving as a gesture of humility do 2078 01:36:02,410 --> 01:35:59,810 these activities not also serve to drive 2079 01:36:05,620 --> 01:36:02,420 the participants into trance States and 2080 01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:05,630 ecstatic visionary experiences good 2081 01:36:11,470 --> 01:36:08,210 question yeah I think I think there's 2082 01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:11,480 something going on with that I mean you 2083 01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:13,730 know just just to view it in kind of 2084 01:36:19,270 --> 01:36:16,610 very prosaic terms you know it would it 2085 01:36:22,480 --> 01:36:19,280 looks like and I have no experience with 2086 01:36:25,510 --> 01:36:22,490 this myself um you know a certain 2087 01:36:31,990 --> 01:36:25,520 certain mild types of flagellation can 2088 01:36:34,210 --> 01:36:32,000 probably you know stimulate the oh I 2089 01:36:36,010 --> 01:36:34,220 don't know but natural opiates in the 2090 01:36:38,830 --> 01:36:36,020 brain whatever they're calling us or not 2091 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:38,840 and then well dopamine and yeah there's 2092 01:36:43,780 --> 01:36:41,810 other I mean to me let's lick the Frog I 2093 01:36:49,810 --> 01:36:43,790 mean that that's way easier but but 2094 01:36:53,440 --> 01:36:49,820 continue but um so yeah I think part of 2095 01:36:54,780 --> 01:36:53,450 it is to generate ecstasy I mean you 2096 01:36:58,090 --> 01:36:54,790 know they're there 2097 01:36:59,890 --> 01:36:58,100 look I mean there's another fact 2098 01:37:05,170 --> 01:36:59,900 that you know particularly in 2099 01:37:08,530 --> 01:37:05,180 Catholicism particularly in the last 400 2100 01:37:10,210 --> 01:37:08,540 years um you know there's a whole bit 2101 01:37:13,390 --> 01:37:10,220 you should just look at the art just 2102 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:13,400 look at it without uh you know any kind 2103 01:37:17,670 --> 01:37:15,530 of preconception without knowing what it 2104 01:37:20,620 --> 01:37:17,680 is there's this incredible 2105 01:37:24,850 --> 01:37:20,630 sadomasochistic and one another I don't 2106 01:37:28,180 --> 01:37:24,860 think that was their way back when the 2107 01:37:30,580 --> 01:37:28,190 medieval people didn't generally portray 2108 01:37:33,430 --> 01:37:30,590 Christ in you know it's kind of bleeding 2109 01:37:36,100 --> 01:37:33,440 all over the place uh and the Russian 2110 01:37:39,010 --> 01:37:36,110 Orthodox you know have very very strict 2111 01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:39,020 the Greek Orthodox who have a stern 2112 01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:41,210 Orthodox I suppose I should say very 2113 01:37:45,780 --> 01:37:43,730 very strict rules about how sacred 2114 01:37:48,490 --> 01:37:45,790 artists to be made um 2115 01:37:50,860 --> 01:37:48,500 always forbade that kind of our command 2116 01:37:53,710 --> 01:37:50,870 on the grounds and it would kind of lead 2117 01:37:56,310 --> 01:37:53,720 to base passions so I mean you really 2118 01:37:58,780 --> 01:37:56,320 have to ask yourself what what kind of 2119 01:38:00,640 --> 01:37:58,790 sadomasochistic impulses is there in 2120 01:38:03,250 --> 01:38:00,650 here I don't mean you know I guess a

movie was you know when they dumped a 2127 01:38:22,270 --> 01:38:19,580 bucket of blood on her though it wasn't 2128 01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:22,280 it was the mother in her and a weird 2129 01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:24,530 like Jesus crucifixion had in this 2130 01:38:30,070 --> 01:38:27,650 closet in the home carrying that was 2131 01:38:30,610 --> 01:38:30,080 like much more yeah that was

01:39:21,830 brown's the vinci code the Opus Dei is 2149 01:39:28,180 --> 01:39:25,489 sometimes uh lumped in with that we will 2150 01:39:30,580 --> 01:39:28,190 not necessarily accurately but yeah yeah 2151 01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:30,590 that's kind of controversial but you 2152 01:39:36,010 --> 01:39:32,570 know self-flagellation you know as you 2153 01:39:37,750 --> 01:39:36,020 pointed out you know if Pope has done it 2154 01:39:41,620 --> 01:39:37,760 um you know it's always been you know a 2155 01:39:43,899 --> 01:39:41,630 part of Catholic practice I mean I think 2156 01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:43,909 a number of things are going on one is I 2157 01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:45,530 mean you do have to ask yourself what is 2158 01:39:50,220 --> 01:39:48,170 the sadomasochism that's going on here 2159 01:39:52,810 --> 01:39:50,230 and you know that's almost like a 2160 01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:52,820 question for like a clinical 2161 01:40:05,169 --> 01:39:57,650 psychologist maybe the the head of the 2162 01:40:06,850 --> 01:40:05,179 house in Congress I mean there's another 2163 01:40:11,410 --> 01:40:06,860 thing that you know I think you can say 2164 01:40:12,729 --> 01:40:11,420 which is we all know that you know when 2165 01:40:14,860 --> 01:40:12,739 you get right down to it there are 2166 01:40:19,149 --> 01:40:14,870 certain there are times when you have to 2167 01:40:21,750 --> 01:40:19,159 like put a lid on your bodily impulses 2168 01:40:25,470 --> 01:40:21,760 you know whether if it falls you know 2169 01:40:28,330 --> 01:40:25,480 sleeping with your best friend's wife or 2170 01:40:30,130 --> 01:40:28,340 waiting til you get off the highway to 2171 01:40:33,220 --> 01:40:30,140 go to the bathroom that kind of thing 2172 01:40:38,500 --> 01:40:33,230 that's just that's just part of what it 2173 01:40:42,610 --> 01:40:38,510 is to be human now it's very very easy 2174 01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:42,620 to take a step and jump to the 2175 01:40:46,750 --> 01:40:44,690 conclusion as a number of religions have 2176 01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:46,760 done you know if the flesh is innately 2177 01:40:52,570 --> 01:40:49,510 evil and therefore ought to be punished 2178 01:40:55,630 --> 01:40:52,580 and I think that's what's going on with 2179 01:40:59,290 --> 01:40:55,640 some of those you know penitent uh you 2180 01:41:11,729 --> 01:40:59,300 know sex and the kind of thing any 2181 01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:14,709 so you know there's definitely a lot 2182 01:41:22,890 --> 01:41:18,650 going on there I just just to follow up 2183 01:41:25,750 --> 01:41:22,900 on the question a little bit more there 2184 01:41:30,549 --> 01:41:25,760 there is Wicca which is 2185 01:41:33,580 --> 01:41:30,559 you know sometimes said to be survival 2186 01:41:36,609 --> 01:41:33,590 the old pagan religion sometimes said to 2187 01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:36,619 be a modern invention one of the most 2188 01:41:41,049 --> 01:41:38,570 influential figures in Wicca was an 2189 01:41:44,109 --> 01:41:41,059 Englishman named Gerald Gardner who was 2190 01:41:45,729 --> 01:41:44,119 apparently into flagellation and made it 2191 01:41:48,069 --> 01:41:45,739 part of the Wiccan rituals and whether 2192 01:41:50,950 --> 01:41:48,079 this was really part of the Wiccan 2193 01:41:53,169 --> 01:41:50,960 rituals was practiced way back when or 2194 01:41:54,939 --> 01:41:53,179 whether he had kind of gotten a taste 2195 01:41:56,350 --> 01:41:54,949 for this and you know British public 2196 01:41:58,569 --> 01:41:56,360 school was a question that's uh 2197 01:42:01,600 --> 01:41:58,579 occasionally still debated well I just 2198 01:42:03,370 --> 01:42:01,610 should point out in passing that during 2199 01:42:05,859 --> 01:42:03,380 the course of a time that my first wife 2200 01:42:07,810 --> 01:42:05,869 and I edited a UFO paranormal magazine 2201 01:42:10,839 --> 01:42:07,820 for a number of years we came into 2202 01:42:12,819 --> 01:42:10,849 contact with Wiccans over those years 2203 01:42:14,350 --> 01:42:12,829 and they never seem to be the type of 2204 01:42:17,140 --> 01:42:14,360 people who would do that sort of thing 2205 01:42:19,089 --> 01:42:17,150 yeah I don't I don't think I mean there 2206 01:42:22,209 --> 01:42:19,099 are about as many different types of 2207 01:42:24,339 --> 01:42:22,219 Wiccans as there are Christians or 2208 01:42:26,649 --> 01:42:24,349 anything else oh you know it's certainly 2209 01:42:29,109 --> 01:42:26,659 not but it would be true of what are 2210 01:42:31,359 --> 01:42:29,119 called Guarnere and uh Wiccans 2211 01:42:32,799 --> 01:42:31,369 because Gerald Gardner was the guy I was 2212 01:42:33,970 --> 01:42:32,809 talking about but I certainly wouldn't 2213 01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:33,980 come you know 2214 01:42:39,580 --> 01:42:37,250 stated every Wiccan does not hurt yes 2215 01:42:42,310 --> 01:42:39,590 obviously Richard that leads me to 2216 01:42:44,529 --> 01:42:42,320 another question from Conrad Hartman one 2217 01:42:46,959 --> 01:42:44,539 of our posters at forum dr. Perik asked 2218 01:42:50,049 --> 01:42:46,969 calm to what extent do you feel that 2219 01:42:52,540 --> 01:42:50,059 modern paganism is historically linked 2220 01:42:54,759 --> 01:42:52,550 to pre-christian practices and do you 2221 01:42:57,040 --> 01:42:54,769 feel that modern practice practices 2222 01:42:59,350 --> 01:42:57,050 accurately follow these historical 2223 01:43:01,779 --> 01:42:59,360 precedents well that's a really 2224 01:43:04,299 --> 01:43:01,789 interesting question um 2225 01:43:07,629 --> 01:43:04,309 one you know I suppose I should really 2226 01:43:10,209 --> 01:43:07,639 only plug one book at a time but on one 2227 01:43:11,859 --> 01:43:10,219 of my previous books is called hidden 2228 01:43:13,629 --> 01:43:11,869 wisdom a guide to the Western inner 2229 01:43:16,450 --> 01:43:13,639 traditions which has a whole chapter on 2230 01:43:19,299 --> 01:43:16,460 that and I'm not going to be able to go 2231 01:43:21,970 --> 01:43:19,309 into the whole you know detail of it 2232 01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:21,980 here it is a very good and very 2233 01:43:28,810 --> 01:43:25,730 intricate question I think there's 2234 01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:28,820 evidence that the Old Religion survived 2235 01:43:35,229 --> 01:43:32,690 in you know in kind of family traditions 2236 01:43:38,049 --> 01:43:35,239 and kind of honor the way pockets to 2237 01:43:39,580 --> 01:43:38,059 what extent this reflects any kind of 2238 01:43:43,060 --> 01:43:39,590 real plan 2239 01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:43,070 you know what what pagans were doing you 2240 01:43:48,010 --> 01:43:46,010 know in 500 AD uh you know is 2241 01:43:50,290 --> 01:43:48,020 considerably more open to question 2242 01:43:52,750 --> 01:43:50,300 because there just isn't a lot of data 2243 01:43:54,670 --> 01:43:52,760 about it yeah it's impossible to really 2244 01:43:57,640 --> 01:43:54,680 really demonstrate any sort of 2245 01:43:58,600 --> 01:43:57,650 connection but here's a my own sort of 2246 01:44:01,960 --> 01:43:58,610 follow-up on that 2247 01:44:04,750 --> 01:44:01,970 you know you mentioned Aleister Crowley 2248 01:44:06,970 --> 01:44:04,760 of course to people that don't know who 2249 01:44:07,450 --> 01:44:06,980 he is is Crowley if you think of him 2250 01:44:09,610 --> 01:44:07,460 fali 2251 01:44:15,370 --> 01:44:09,620 Crowley if you think he's possibly holy 2252 01:44:19,270 --> 01:44:15,380 that's kind of my axiom yeah well that 2253 01:44:22,480 --> 01:44:19,280 was Crowley's own sort of disclaimer but 2254 01:44:26,110 --> 01:44:22,490 you know Aleister Crowley I think is a 2255 01:44:29,050 --> 01:44:26,120 seminal figure of the post sort of 2256 01:44:33,250 --> 01:44:29,060 Victorian age he helped you know sort of 2257 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:33,260 dismantle the stade you know very anal 2258 01:44:39,310 --> 01:44:36,530 sort of Victorian social structure and 2259 01:44:42,070 --> 01:44:39,320 and and mores of that particular time 2260 01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:42,080 period now someone like a Crowley who 2261 01:44:47,740 --> 01:44:45,530 was able to integrate the eastern 2262 01:44:51,550 --> 01:44:47,750 tradition with the Western tradition in 2263 01:44:52,390 --> 01:44:51,560 his his particularly tarot deck oh the 2264 01:44:54,910 --> 01:44:52,400 Thoth deck 2265 01:44:57,700 --> 01:44:54,920 do you consider someone like an Aleister 2266 01:45:00,820 --> 01:44:57,710 Crowley or in the life as levy who of 2267 01:45:01,870 --> 01:45:00,830 course was a predecessor of Crowley's in 2268 01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:01,880 the mid 19th century 2269 01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:05,330 do you consider their work as being a 2270 01:45:10,270 --> 01:45:07,970 crucial length between the ancient sort 2271 01:45:13,030 --> 01:45:10,280 of past and in terms of magic and 2272 01:45:15,370 --> 01:45:13,040 esotericism and the modern age of 2273 01:45:16,030 --> 01:45:15,380 magical thinking we've got

Golden Dawn you know which was a 2350 01:49:10,670 --> 01:49:06,510 Victorian uh as you know it was a you 2351 01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:10,680 know and Victorian the lodge that I'm 2352 01:49:17,080 -->

2366 01:50:02,030 --> 01:49:59,550 Rosicrucianism Freemasonry you know you 2367 01:50:04,130 --> 01:50:02,040 could go down the line of offshoots from 2368 01:50:06,440 --> 01:50:04,140 from that particular system of magic 2369 01:50:07,260 --> 01:50:06,450 they all claim to have some sort of 2370 01:50:09,900 --> 01:50:07,270 connection 2371 01:50:12,060 --> 01:50:09,910 Egyptian high magic do you feel that 2372 01:50:14,430 --> 01:50:12,070 that claim is accurate do you think that 2373 01:50:17,670 --> 01:50:14,440 there is a thread or a connection that 2374 01:50:19,530 --> 01:50:17,680 goes back to dynastic Egypt or do you 2375 01:50:21,510 --> 01:50:19,540 think they're just kind of playing 2376 01:50:24,060 --> 01:50:21,520 around with that particular connection 2377 01:50:25,729 --> 01:50:24,070 and and making themselves more important 2378 01:50:28,830 --> 01:50:25,739 than they really are 2379 01:50:31,350 --> 01:50:28,840 you know whether they have a connection 2380 01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:31,360 of dynastic Egypt or not you know it's 2381 01:50:36,810 --> 01:50:33,010 not something I could say I mean there's 2382 01:50:40,170 --> 01:50:36,820 no real proof of it um but you know it 2383 01:50:41,910 --> 01:50:40,180 would be very difficult to prove it 2384 01:50:45,090 --> 01:50:41,920 negatively that's to say the truth there 2385 01:50:48,300 --> 01:50:45,100 was none but you know to kind of go back 2386 01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:48,310 to what I was saying you know assuming 2387 01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:49,810 that these people you know all along 2388 01:50:53,910 --> 01:50:51,489 have been interested in this kind of 2389 01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:53,920 thing you know they probably read and 2390 01:50:58,770 --> 01:50:56,290 studied uh you know the magical books 2391 01:51:01,440 --> 01:50:58,780 and texts that were around and there 2392 01:51:04,770 --> 01:51:01,450 were you know there was a magical school 2393 01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:04,780 in London uh started by men and Francis 2394 01:51:09,930 --> 01:51:07,930 Barrett and you know around 1800 history 2395 01:51:13,020 --> 01:51:09,940 his book The Magus is very influential 2396 01:51:15,650 --> 01:51:13,030 and still available so I think the 2397 01:51:21,990 --> 01:51:15,660 people who are into these old traditions 2398 01:51:26,670 --> 01:51:22,000 probably you know kept some very key 2399 01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:26,680 elements of their traditions and you 2400 01:51:32,100 --> 01:51:28,930 know incorporated some that came or that 2401 01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:32,110 came around uh I don't know it's 2402 01:51:37,140 --> 01:51:34,570 probably not a terribly smart thing to 2403 01:51:40,470 --> 01:51:37,150 plug someone else's book uh you know or 2404 01:51:45,990 --> 01:51:40,480 you're plugging your own but um oh God 2405 01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:46,000 there's a book I mean I I edited it when 2406 01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:47,770 it came out I work for certain 2407 01:51:53,910 --> 01:51:50,170 publishers called wielding power by 2408 01:51:57,479 --> 01:51:53,920 Charles art at worth you know which has 2409 01:51:58,950 --> 01:51:57,489 you know uh you know I believe uh you 2410 01:52:03,870 --> 01:51:58,960 know has some connection to the Old 2411 01:52:06,630 --> 01:52:03,880 Religion and and even has you know some 2412 01:52:09,150 --> 01:52:06,640 of the practices and and rites of it it 2413 01:52:12,540 --> 01:52:09,160 doesn't look terribly much like Wicca uh 2414 01:52:14,820 --> 01:52:12,550 but it's it's its own version and I 2415 01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:14,830 would encourage people to check that out 2416 01:52:19,770 --> 01:52:17,290 if they're interested in you know what 2417 01:52:21,089 --> 01:52:19,780 some of these old practices might have 2418 01:52:24,350 --> 01:52:21,099 been like 2419 01:52:29,069 --> 01:52:24,360 how about The Alchemist John Dee um 2420 01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:29,079 seems your mom supposedly had incredible 2421 01:52:35,010 --> 01:52:32,170 abilities whether as a magician or a 2422 01:52:36,780 --> 01:52:35,020 conjurer I personally have seen the big 2423 01:52:38,850 --> 01:52:36,790 silver platter you know that's on 2424 01:52:42,030 --> 01:52:38,860 display in Versailles 2425 01:52:43,859 --> 01:52:42,040 that is half transmuted from silver into 2426 01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:43,869 gold where do you come down on the 2427 01:52:51,149 --> 01:52:46,810 alchemists youth well then to some sort 2428 01:52:53,669 --> 01:52:51,159 of ancient process or you know the 2429 01:52:57,510 --> 01:52:53,679 ability to manipulate things based on 2430 01:53:02,069 --> 01:52:57,520 ancient knowledge well one thing you 2431 01:53:04,050 --> 01:53:02,079 have to consider is that um as a matter 2432 01:53:06,629 --> 01:53:04,060 of fact people have been producing you 2433 01:53:10,260 --> 01:53:06,639 know pretty amazing artifacts for like a 2434 01:53:12,359 --> 01:53:10,270 long long time you know like certain 2435 01:53:15,780 --> 01:53:12,369 techniques of the stained glass windows 2436 01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:15,790 of the medieval cathedrals are a famous 2437 01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:19,449 example at least so um the idea that 2438 01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:20,730 everybody was just like totally 2439 01:53:25,010 --> 01:53:22,570 technologically primitive and knew 2440 01:53:27,990 --> 01:53:25,020 nothing you know about anything until 2441 01:53:30,959 --> 01:53:28,000 you know mr. science came along and you 2442 01:53:34,109 --> 01:53:30,969 know the 18th century is itself a rather 2443 01:53:36,959 --> 01:53:34,119 naive one I think so I think they had uh 2444 01:53:41,339 --> 01:53:36,969 some uh I think it was genuine knowledge 2445 01:53:43,350 --> 01:53:41,349 there um you know they certainly 2446 01:53:45,330 --> 01:53:43,360 emphasized or at least the best of them 2447 01:53:47,459 --> 01:53:45,340 emphasized that you know this kind of 2448 01:53:50,100 --> 01:53:47,469 work of transmutation could not be done 2449 01:53:53,129 --> 01:53:50,110 I mean it can't be done in the way that 2450 01:53:57,180 --> 01:53:53,139 science is done in in in you know in 2451 01:53:59,780 --> 01:53:57,190 that the you know it's society the 2452 01:54:03,689 --> 01:53:59,790 experimenter is supposed to be totally 2453 01:54:06,180 --> 01:54:03,699 detached from the experiment and the 2454 01:54:08,010 --> 01:54:06,190 ancient alchemists and the modern 2455 01:54:11,010 --> 01:54:08,020 alchemists would say no you know 2456 01:54:15,450 --> 01:54:11,020 actually the state of mind consciousness 2457 01:54:17,729 --> 01:54:15,460 preparation of the alchemists is 2458 01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:17,739 extremely important and it can write 2459 01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:19,810 probably one of the greedy --nt sin an 2460 01:54:26,250 --> 01:54:24,010 alchemical process right and you know 2461 01:54:28,500 --> 01:54:26,260 that's you know really take us on the 2462 01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:28,510 you know uh off the subject but you know 2463 01:54:32,370 --> 01:54:30,730 it's it's another thing that has to be 2464 01:54:34,290 --> 01:54:32,380 seriously considered when you're talking 2465 01:54:34,689 --> 01:54:34,300 about scientific investigations with a 2466 01:54:37,859 --> 01:54:34,699 pair 2467 01:54:42,459 --> 01:54:37,869 normal you know the ice because it's not 2468 01:54:47,500 --> 01:54:42,469 quite so easy to evaluate in a lab sense 2469 01:54:50,140 --> 01:54:47,510 then um uh uh you know as gender no 2470 01:54:51,850 --> 01:54:50,150 specific experiment the state of 2471 01:54:53,589 --> 01:54:51,860 consciousness of the researcher and the 2472 01:54:56,259 --> 01:54:53,599 participants are extremely important 2473 01:54:59,739 --> 01:54:56,269 well obviously in that was determined by 2474 01:55:01,810 --> 01:54:59,749 Heisenberg his uncertainty principle and 2475 01:55:05,379 --> 01:55:01,820 the Copenhagen interpretation that the 2476 01:55:08,049 --> 01:55:05,389 the actual act of observing any sort of 2477 01:55:11,739 --> 01:55:08,059 process is going to alter it but you 2478 01:55:14,109 --> 01:55:11,749 know let's get back to that subject of 2479 01:55:16,629 --> 01:55:14,119 ancient knowledge and the opening 2480 01:55:18,850 --> 01:55:16,639 sentence or a paragraph actually in 2481 01:55:21,969 --> 01:55:18,860 Chapter eight of your book supernatural 2482 01:55:25,089 --> 01:55:21,979 is titled Masonic civilization and you 2483 01:55:27,580 --> 01:55:25,099 say masonry twosome the word connotes an 2484 01:55:29,890 --> 01:55:27,590 underground cabal that through means 2485 01:55:32,529 --> 01:55:29,900 unknown or scarcely imaginable to 2486 01:55:35,319 --> 01:55:32,539 ordinary mortals topples governments and 2487 01:55:39,819 --> 01:55:35,329 manipulates currencies or has beyonce 2488 01:55:42,669 --> 01:55:39,829 flashing sigils the halftime of the 2489 01:55:44,830 --> 01:55:42,679 Super Bowl but to others more adept at 2490 01:55:47,649 --> 01:55:44,840 observation than imagination it evokes 2491 01:55:50,229 --> 01:55:47,659 images of solid citizens and cheap suits 2492 01:55:52,540 --> 01:55:50,239 conjugating at the lodge on the second 2493 01:55:55,810 --> 01:55:52,550 story of a shabby downtown commercial 2494 01:55:58,449 --> 01:55:55,820 building in either case today's seekers 2495 01:56:01,270 --> 01:55:58,459 may wonder why masonry should interest 2496 01:56:03,729 --> 01:56:01,280 them Richard Smalley should masonry 2497 01:56:09,479 --> 01:56:03,739 interest us are we dealing with some 2498 01:56:11,589 --> 01:56:09,489 sort of like deep sort of conspiratorial 2499 01:56:13,890 --> 01:56:11,599 manipulation of world events by the 2500 01:56:16,839 --> 01:56:13,900 power elite 2501 01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:16,849 well I if we are I don't think the 2502 01:56:24,310 --> 01:56:20,690 Masons as an organized body oh yeah to 2503 01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:24,320 that well is there something akin to 2504 01:56:28,959 --> 01:56:27,170 that it's uh operating besides the power 2505 01:56:31,089 --> 01:56:28,969 of money and influence and power and 2506 01:56:34,209 --> 01:56:31,099 control well you know there are always 2507 01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:34,219 people conspiring to rule the world and 2508 01:56:39,279 --> 01:56:36,170 the question you know and to you know 2509 01:56:40,660 --> 01:56:39,289 make lots of money and and so on the 2510 01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:40,670 question is like whether they're all in 2511 01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:44,090 cahoots and you know in the end it's a 2512 01:56:48,380 --> 01:56:46,130 little hard to see you know all of these 2513 01:56:50,870 --> 01:56:48,390 very very disparate interests you know 2514 01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:50,880 being masterminded by some you know a 2515 01:56:56,420 --> 01:56:54,210 secret society you know you know she's 2516 01:56:58,220 --> 01:56:56,430 been so away somewhere that's exactly 2517 01:57:02,090 --> 01:56:58,230 what Laurance Rockefeller told me when I 2518 01:57:03,950 --> 01:57:02,100 asked him good question seriously he 2519 01:57:05,900 --> 01:57:03,960 said if you think for a second that we 2520 01:57:07,940 --> 01:57:05,910 could even agree what to talk about let 2521 01:57:09,410 --> 01:57:07,950 alone where to talk about it and what we 2522 01:57:12,500 --> 01:57:09,420 were going to have on the agenda 2523 01:57:13,940 --> 01:57:12,510 you know it doesn't work that way of 2524 01:57:17,510 --> 01:57:13,950 course I didn't believe him but 2525 01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:17,520 continued we cannot continue unless we 2526 01:57:23,300 --> 01:57:20,850 share this time with our benefactors 2527 01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:23,310 Richard Smalley joining us he's author 2528 01:57:28,010 --> 01:57:25,890 of supernatural with

2652 02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:35,510 is of course that masonry is not a 2653 02:02:39,010 --> 02:02:37,610 secret society why is it a secret 2654 02:02:41,710 --> 02:02:39,020 society well you've heard

02:02:54,790 that other people only want that well 2661 02:03:01,920 --> 02:02:57,770 the history of masonry is kind of long 2662 02:03:05,050 --> 02:03:01,930 and complicated and controversial um but 2663 02:03:07,240 --> 02:03:05,060 you know the most reputable views you 2664 02:03:10,630 --> 02:03:07,250 know say that well masonry kind of grew 2665 02:03:13,050 --> 02:03:10,640 out of these stonemason skills you know 2666 02:03:17,770 --> 02:03:13,060 that operated in late medieval times and 2667 02:03:20,830 --> 02:03:17,780 for various reasons became interested in 2668 02:03:25,150 --> 02:03:20,840 mystical speculation in the 17th century 2669 02:03:27,100 --> 02:03:25,160 and you know at that point gentlemen who 2670 02:03:30,070 --> 02:03:27,110 were in search of alcohol knowledge 2671 02:03:32,230 --> 02:03:30,080 started to join and you know that was 2672 02:03:34,180 --> 02:03:32,240 the you know transformation of what was 2673 02:03:36,220 --> 02:03:34,190 called operative masonry into 2674 02:03:40,810 --> 02:03:36,230 speculative Mason and those are the 2675 02:03:42,660 --> 02:03:40,820 terms used in other nations were you 2676 02:03:46,570 --> 02:03:42,670 know particularly active and influential 2677 02:03:50,230 --> 02:03:46,580 in the 18th century you know they they 2678 02:03:53,439 --> 02:03:50,240 were you know very instrumental in the 2679 02:03:56,229 --> 02:03:53,449 American Revolution French Revolution 2680 02:04:01,780 --> 02:03:56,239 the unification of Italy in the mid 19th 2681 02:04:04,629 --> 02:04:01,790 century I love that that lithograph of 2682 02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:04,639 George Washington with his Masonic apron 2683 02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:09,170 on right and you know I mean and he was 2684 02:04:14,850 --> 02:04:12,170 uh you know obviously uh you know quite 2685 02:04:19,020 --> 02:04:14,860 a devoted Mason 2686 02:04:21,549 --> 02:04:19,030 you know masonry influence and power 2687 02:04:25,030 --> 02:04:21,559 well it's kind of gone up and down on it 2688 02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:25,040 Wayne seriously in the u.s. in the 1820s 2689 02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:27,770 and there was a strong anti-masonic 2690 02:04:33,479 --> 02:04:31,610 movement I've got started and it you 2691 02:04:37,359 --> 02:04:33,489 know it started to pick up steam again 2692 02:04:39,910 --> 02:04:37,369 in the 20th century I think you know the 2693 02:04:42,129 --> 02:04:39,920 high point for Masonic membership you 2694 02:04:44,379 --> 02:04:42,139 know kind of in the 50s since then a 2695 02:04:46,299 --> 02:04:44,389 sort of drop down P Albert Pike had a 2696 02:04:48,459 --> 02:04:46,309 little bit to do with a spike in 2697 02:04:50,319 --> 02:04:48,469 interest yeah yeah I mean that's 2698 02:04:52,270 --> 02:04:50,329 definite I'll burn Pike was a you know 2699 02:04:54,459 --> 02:04:52,280 certainly a very curious figure the 2700 02:04:58,270 --> 02:04:54,469 author of morals and Dogma he's looking 2701 02:05:00,939 --> 02:04:58,280 a former Confederate General you know he 2702 02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:00,949 wrote you know a great deal on know 2703 02:05:07,020 --> 02:05:03,650 masonry and the esoteric now the other 2704 02:05:11,290 --> 02:05:07,030 thing about masonry and of course that 2705 02:05:13,479 --> 02:05:11,300 masonry does not entail any belief that 2706 02:05:16,149 --> 02:05:13,489 is to say you don't have to believe in 2707 02:05:18,609 --> 02:05:16,159 anything except a Supreme Being are they 2708 02:05:23,890 --> 02:05:18,619 that's why you know there's there's like 2709 02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:23,900 a G on the you know sonic emblem right 2710 02:05:26,799 --> 02:05:25,610 just beyond the square and on the level 2711 02:05:28,450 --> 02:05:26,809 right 2712 02:05:30,819 --> 02:05:28,460 all of these rituals that they go 2713 02:05:32,379 --> 02:05:30,829 through I mean I'm not a Mason so you 2714 02:05:34,569 --> 02:05:32,389 know a I haven't gone through it to be 2715 02:05:37,089 --> 02:05:34,579 and I'm also able to talk freely about 2716 02:05:40,660 --> 02:05:37,099 it because I'm you know pretty pledges 2717 02:05:43,359 --> 02:05:40,670 to anybody you know as I understand it 2718 02:05:46,569 --> 02:05:43,369 you know the meanings of these Masonic 2719 02:05:50,430 --> 02:05:46,579 rituals are always left to the 2720 02:05:52,780 --> 02:05:50,440 individual to decide um so there's no 2721 02:05:54,189 --> 02:05:52,790 authoritative interpretation and what 2722 02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:54,199 they need or what they're supposed to 2723 02:05:57,600 --> 02:05:56,090 mean there are a lot of there's a lot of 2724 02:06:00,850 --> 02:05:57,610 literature about it there are a lot of 2725 02:06:02,229 --> 02:06:00,860 guesses and that kind of thing you know 2726 02:06:06,010 --> 02:06:02,239 a lot of it written by Mason's 2727 02:06:07,270 --> 02:06:06,020 themselves but nothing that has you know 2728 02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:07,280 the kind of authority 2729 02:06:13,209 --> 02:06:09,290 in a safe payton pronouncement would 2730 02:06:15,130 --> 02:06:13,219 have so you know in that sense mason 2731 02:06:22,030 --> 02:06:15,140 seen very much committed freedom of 2732 02:06:25,950 --> 02:06:22,040 thought they had the other heyday in the 2733 02:06:29,110 --> 02:06:25,960 you know they say well early twentieth 2734 02:06:31,870 --> 02:06:29,120 centuries there was a lot of fraternal 2735 02:06:33,189 --> 02:06:31,880 ISM the Masons kind of made it it kind 2736 02:06:35,189 --> 02:06:33,199 of went down for a while and then they 2737 02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:35,199 came back and in the nineteenth century 2738 02:06:41,410 --> 02:06:38,210 for journalism you know was much more 2739 02:06:42,970 --> 02:06:41,420 important as a movement in those days so 2740 02:06:45,550 --> 02:06:42,980 it's just basically a frat there's no 2741 02:06:48,670 --> 02:06:45,560 real conspiracy involved in the Masons 2742 02:06:51,070 --> 02:06:48,680 you know think I don't I don't think you 2743 02:06:53,770 --> 02:06:51,080 know not in any kind of you know you 2744 02:06:56,140 --> 02:06:53,780 know some kind of plot to like take over 2745 02:06:58,060 --> 02:06:56,150 a world government well I think I think 2746 02:07:01,300 --> 02:06:58,070 the lower levels yeah you could say that 2747 02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:01,310 but there may be a little something with 2748 02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:03,770 the upper echelon but we won't get into 2749 02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:05,690 that that would be digressing too far 2750 02:07:10,660 --> 02:07:08,810 yeah it's something I I certainly don't 2751 02:07:14,110 --> 02:07:10,670 know I don't have any proof or evidence 2752 02:07:16,660 --> 02:07:14,120 of it so you know on a certain point 2753 02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:16,670 there's not much I can really say okay 2754 02:07:21,220 --> 02:07:18,770 let's put the Masons aside set the 2755 02:07:23,700 --> 02:07:21,230 Mason's aside that's the sound of 2756 02:07:26,290 --> 02:07:23,710 Mason's being set aside started to 2757 02:07:29,020 --> 02:07:26,300 insult them if they're listening yeah 2758 02:07:31,740 --> 02:07:29,030 there's one thing I hear that obviously 2759 02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:31,750 raises its head anytime you talk about 2760 02:07:38,350 --> 02:07:34,850 paranormal and ancient civilizations and 2761 02:07:41,020 --> 02:07:38,360 all this stuff the presence of ancient 2762 02:07:43,030 --> 02:07:41,030 astronauts in ancient times and UFOs in 2763 02:07:47,380 --> 02:07:43,040 modern times what's your take on it 2764 02:07:50,020 --> 02:07:47,390 well you mentioned CG Hill earlier and 2765 02:07:54,820 --> 02:07:50,030 his book on flying saucers which is 2766 02:07:58,780 --> 02:07:54,830 published I think in 1957 and basically 2767 02:08:01,030 --> 02:07:58,790 we're still uh with his verdict people 2768 02:08:02,530 --> 02:08:01,040 are seeing with you know we are seeing 2769 02:08:05,410 --> 02:08:02,540 something but one doesn't know what it 2770 02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:05,420 is a modern myth of things seen in the 2771 02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:08,930 sky yeah um you know I think we're at a 2772 02:08:16,150 --> 02:08:13,010 point where you know you know as people 2773 02:08:18,310 --> 02:08:16,160 often say with UFOs you know you know 95 2774 02:08:20,140 --> 02:08:18,320 percent of the cases you know can be 2775 02:08:20,399 --> 02:08:20,150 explained away as weather balloons or 2776 02:08:22,649 --> 02:08:20,409 what 2777 02:08:27,989 --> 02:08:22,659 you like but of course that still leaves 2778 02:08:31,169 --> 02:08:27,999 the 5% of very very mystifying cases I 2779 02:08:36,330 --> 02:08:31,179 mean I remember reading fairly recently 2780 02:08:40,159 --> 02:08:36,340 you know articles written by the heads 2781 02:08:43,379 --> 02:08:40,169 of the Belgian and Brazilian Air Forces 2782 02:08:46,109 --> 02:08:43,389 you know which basically said you know 2783 02:08:48,149 --> 02:08:46,119 our people are seeing things um we wish 2784 02:08:49,709 --> 02:08:48,159 the United States would share what they 2785 02:08:52,859 --> 02:08:49,719 know about it but they're not telling us 2786 02:08:54,509 --> 02:08:52,869 anything at all now you know when you're 2787 02:08:56,729 --> 02:08:54,519 talking about the head of a you know an 2788 02:08:58,649 --> 02:08:56,739 Air Force of a major nation you know 2789 02:09:03,270 --> 02:08:58,659 you're getting to the point of beyond 2790 02:09:04,859 --> 02:09:03,280 you know crackpot theories well the 2791 02:09:07,979 --> 02:09:04,869 other thing that bear in mind too is 2792 02:09:10,049 --> 02:09:07,989 when they start worrying about what the 2793 02:09:12,689 --> 02:09:10,059 u.s. knows and why that information is 2794 02:09:14,100 --> 02:09:12,699 being shared it has an implication which 2795 02:09:17,129 --> 02:09:14,110 is that there is information to be 2796 02:09:20,250 --> 02:09:17,139 shared of some significance well that's 2797 02:09:20,969 --> 02:09:20,260 it yeah you know uh and you know that's 2798 02:09:24,299 --> 02:09:20,979 precisely 2799 02:09:27,989 --> 02:09:24,309 you know the could a question that you 2800 02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:27,999 know can't be answered you know the you 2801 02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:31,090 know it seems fairly clear that at a 2802 02:09:36,330 --> 02:09:33,130 fairly early point in the whole UFO 2803 02:09:38,939 --> 02:09:36,340 phenomenon the US government you know 2804 02:09:44,159 --> 02:09:38,949 made a point to downplay 2805 02:09:47,250 --> 02:09:44,169 discredit any belief in UFOs and you 2806 02:09:50,790 --> 02:09:47,260 know as far as I know it still does but 2807 02:09:52,529 --> 02:09:50,800 um you know they're not at a point where 2808 02:09:54,569 --> 02:09:52,539 you know a lot of people have seen 2809 02:09:56,399 --> 02:09:54,579 something or another none of the 2810 02:09:58,500 --> 02:09:56,409 explanations are really all that great 2811 02:10:00,779 --> 02:09:58,510 uh you know when you get right down to 2812 02:10:03,540 --> 02:10:00,789 it the idea that you know this there's 2813 02:10:05,790 --> 02:10:03,550 really some kind of you know where would 2814 02:10:07,979 --> 02:10:05,800 these extraterrestrials come from well 2815 02:10:10,609 --> 02:10:07,989 the other thing here which puts it the 2816 02:10:12,449 --> 02:10:10,619 cart before the horse here is are they 2817 02:10:15,419 --> 02:10:12,459 extraterrestrials to begin with before 2818 02:10:17,909 --> 02:10:15,429 we even speculate as to where they might 2819 02:10:20,219 --> 02:10:17,919 come from yeah Richard Smalley joining 2820

02:16:21,700 light-years away and that's a tremendous 2960 02:16:26,459 --> 02:16:25,090 distance to us but if that civilizations 2961 02:16:28,580 --> 02:16:26,469 a couple of thousand years ahead of us 2962 02:16:30,900 --> 02:16:28,590 it may just be a walk down the street 2963 02:16:35,719 --> 02:16:30,910 that's interesting I hadn't heard that 2964 02:16:39,060 --> 02:16:35,729 um yeah it's you know and I think it 2965 02:16:41,969 --> 02:16:39,070 goes back to you know one reason that I 2966 02:16:46,290 --> 02:16:41,979 think we're so interested in this area 2967 02:16:49,709 --> 02:16:46,300 to begin with in in um we have this kind 2968 02:16:52,240 --> 02:16:49,719 of very strong intuition that reality is 2969 02:16:54,790 --> 02:16:52,250 more than it appears 2970 02:16:58,390 --> 02:16:54,800 and uh there's a real hunger for 2971 02:17:00,700 --> 02:16:58,400 exploration of that and desire to you 2972 02:17:04,540 --> 02:17:00,710 know okay well what is all this stuff um 2973 02:17:07,299 --> 02:17:04,550 and a lot of times the answers are kind 2974 02:17:09,370 --> 02:17:07,309 of very speculative or you know I'll get 2975 02:17:11,950 --> 02:17:09,380 strange but I think there is that human 2976 02:17:13,900 --> 02:17:11,960 desire to know and you know I think 2977 02:17:16,060 --> 02:17:13,910 that's very legitimate and he needs to 2978 02:17:17,890 --> 02:17:16,070 be honored let me throw you a wacky 2979 02:17:20,470 --> 02:17:17,900 theory out there since I'm pretty good 2980 02:17:22,419 --> 02:17:20,480 at wacky theories and that is what if 2981 02:17:25,720 --> 02:17:22,429 the presence of UFOs and similar 2982 02:17:27,940 --> 02:17:25,730 mysteries is designed primarily to make 2983 02:17:30,820 --> 02:17:27,950 us think about the possibilities they 2984 02:17:34,900 --> 02:17:30,830 present well it's an interesting no 2985 02:17:36,549 --> 02:17:34,910 that's definitely an interesting point 2986 02:17:39,580 --> 02:17:36,559 of view of course it it leaves you with 2987 02:17:42,759 --> 02:17:39,590 the question of like who is it is 2988 02:17:46,930 --> 02:17:42,769 creating these mysteries but it's 2989 02:17:49,030 --> 02:17:46,940 definitely a possibility you know this 2990 02:17:51,549 --> 02:17:49,040 is an area where they're not too many 2991 02:17:54,879 --> 02:17:51,559 possibilities that are easy to rule out 2992 02:17:56,890 --> 02:17:54,889 like you know right away well we can't 2993 02:17:58,930 --> 02:17:56,900 rule out anything but think of it this 2994 02:18:02,770 --> 02:17:58,940 way if there's a collective unconscious 2995 02:18:05,500 --> 02:18:02,780 that can create UFOs that seem to be as 2996 02:18:08,230 --> 02:18:05,510 much as we can detect real maybe that 2997 02:18:10,270 --> 02:18:08,240 collective unconscious is controlling 2998 02:18:14,890 --> 02:18:10,280 our destiny as we move towards the 2999 02:18:16,720 --> 02:18:14,900 future but time doesn't exist maybe 3000 02:18:18,520 --> 02:18:16,730 we're trying to pull ourselves off 3001 02:18:22,089 --> 02:18:18,530 planet maybe there's some sort of 3002 02:18:24,910 --> 02:18:22,099 collective imperative going on yeah you 3003 02:18:29,709 --> 02:18:24,920 know it's you know the possibilities are 3004 02:18:32,190 --> 02:18:29,719 endless so you know but I think you know 3005 02:18:35,290 --> 02:18:32,200 is there I think we have to at least 3006 02:18:37,810 --> 02:18:35,300 give ourselves permission to you know 3007 02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:37,820 think about these things and to do so in 3008 02:18:43,690 --> 02:18:40,370 a way that's kind of neither you know 3009 02:18:46,870 --> 02:18:43,700 mindlessly skeptical nor mindlessly 3010 02:18:48,790 --> 02:18:46,880 believing oh you know I think you know 3011 02:18:50,620 --> 02:18:48,800 there are certainly a lot of mindless 3012 02:18:53,879 --> 02:18:50,630 believers but there also a lot of 3013 02:18:57,759 --> 02:18:53,889 mindless skeptics out there and oh boy 3014 02:18:59,740 --> 02:18:57,769 you know I think you know really uh you 3015 02:19:01,419 --> 02:18:59,750 know I think I'm not sure kind of sober 3016 02:19:04,540 --> 02:19:01,429 you have something like this what you 3017 02:19:07,190 --> 02:19:04,550 want you know on this whole situation is 3018 02:19:09,540 --> 02:19:07,200 somewhere in Beach 3019 02:19:11,820 --> 02:19:09,550 well I think one of the things we are 3020 02:19:14,130 --> 02:19:11,830 always hoping for which never seems to 3021 02:19:16,590 --> 02:19:14,140 happen in the UFO field is we go out 3022 02:19:18,270 --> 02:19:16,600 back to the beginning because they've 3023 02:19:20,310 --> 02:19:18,280 been doing this for 50 60 years now oh 3024 02:19:24,060 --> 02:19:20,320 there are spaceships or whatever it is 3025 02:19:26,310 --> 02:19:24,070 okay let's start from scratch let's look 3026 02:19:29,430 --> 02:19:26,320 at this case with a fresh viewpoint and 3027 02:19:31,530 --> 02:19:29,440 say okay we have this phenomenon of five 3028 02:19:34,110 --> 02:19:31,540 or ten percent of sightings we can 3029 02:19:36,600 --> 02:19:34,120 identify let's take a look at what we 3030 02:19:39,090 --> 02:19:36,610 know about those and start again to look 3031 02:19:41,490 --> 02:19:39,100 for solutions but right now as soon as 3032 02:19:44,220 --> 02:19:41,500 we got wind of something that seems to 3033 02:19:46,680 --> 02:19:44,230 fly faster than we can fly it had to be 3034 02:19:50,100 --> 02:19:46,690 eaten that's the end of it you know I 3035 02:19:53,190 --> 02:19:50,110 mean the one kind of hypothesis that's 3036 02:19:54,631 --> 02:19:53,200 often advanced is that well you know at 3037 02:19:56,940 --> 02:19:54,641 the very least the government is not 3038 02:19:59,310 --> 02:19:56,950 going to be too thrilled about the 3039 02:20:04,320 --> 02:19:59,320 revelation that it's not capable of 3040 02:20:08,190 --> 02:20:04,330 descending its own airspace control 3041 02:20:10,500 --> 02:20:08,200 issues yeah you know I think that's you 3042 02:20:12,660 --> 02:20:10,510 know you you have to be yeah there are 3043 02:20:14,790 --> 02:20:12,670 such things that are really flying 3044 02:20:17,250 --> 02:20:14,800 around but we can't do anything about it 3045 02:20:19,680 --> 02:20:17,260 um the Air Force is probably not too 3046 02:20:21,870 --> 02:20:19,690 thrilled has to admit it well the first 3047 02:20:24,450 --> 02:20:21,880 they won't that also it's a question of 3048 02:20:26,850 --> 02:20:24,460 how will the population react so if they 3049 02:20:28,170 --> 02:20:26,860 know something they have this guilty 3050 02:20:30,900 --> 02:20:28,180 knowledge that something's going on 3051 02:20:33,450 --> 02:20:30,910 whatever the answer is if you reveal 3052 02:20:35,820 --> 02:20:33,460 that information what portion of the 3053 02:20:38,341 --> 02:20:35,830 population is impacted what portion of 3054 02:20:40,470 --> 02:20:38,351 private industry is impacted what about 3055 02:20:43,740 --> 02:20:40,480 the political ramifications and dealings 3056 02:20:47,190 --> 02:20:43,750 with other countries and I think there's 3057 02:20:50,100 --> 02:20:47,200 there's obviously this strong body of 3058 02:20:52,740 --> 02:20:50,110 opinion that seems to hold that life is 3059 02:20:55,230 --> 02:20:52,750 complicated as and often you know let's 3060 02:20:58,170 --> 02:20:55,240 just not go there what about looking 3061 02:21:00,000 --> 02:20:58,180 backwards through history reports of 3062 02:21:02,341 --> 02:21:00,010 flying craft throughout history did you 3063 02:21:06,870 --> 02:21:02,351 get a chance or have you had a chance to 3064 02:21:08,100 --> 02:21:06,880 look into those stories yeah I don't you 3065 02:21:11,551 --> 02:21:08,110 know I don't know a great deal about 3066 02:21:13,680 --> 02:21:11,561 them um you know there certainly have 3067 02:21:18,540 --> 02:21:13,690 been yeah things like you know the 3068 02:21:19,370 --> 02:21:18,550 lightest fiery chariot and and that kind 3069 02:21:22,400 --> 02:21:19,380 of thing 3070 02:21:24,980 --> 02:21:22,410 to what extent they really resemble UFOs 3071 02:21:29,480 --> 02:21:24,990 as we know them you know what kind of 3072 02:21:32,440 --> 02:21:29,490 remains to be seen it's well I pardon me 3073 02:21:37,460 --> 02:21:32,450 for interrupting but Jacques Palais and 3074 02:21:39,620 --> 02:21:37,470 his most recent book wonders what to 3075 02:21:43,880 --> 02:21:39,630 call Jeanne wonders of things seen in 3076 02:21:47,929 --> 02:21:43,890 the sky which is a compendium of of UFO 3077 02:21:51,770 --> 02:21:47,939 reports predating humans ability to fly 3078 02:21:54,490 --> 02:21:51,780 and he wrote a whole book that 3079 02:21:56,810 --> 02:21:54,500 delineated out some really incredible 3080 02:21:59,300 --> 02:21:56,820 sighting reports that were fairly well 3081 02:22:01,760 --> 02:21:59,310 documented down through history yeah I'm 3082 02:22:03,650 --> 02:22:01,770 you know I'm certainly entirely capable 3083 02:22:06,260 --> 02:22:03,660 of believing what's happened I haven't 3084 02:22:08,679 --> 02:22:06,270 you know I don't have enough information 3085 02:22:12,560 --> 02:22:08,689 to like really have an informed opinion 3086 02:22:14,780 --> 02:22:12,570 about what it might actually be yeah I'm 3087 02:22:17,510 --> 02:22:14,790 again going back to you and saying yeah 3088 02:22:19,460 --> 02:22:17,520 well it's hard seeing something that one 3089 02:22:21,770 --> 02:22:19,470 doesn't know a lot that book by the way 3090 02:22:24,920 --> 02:22:21,780 wonders in the sky written by Jacques 3091 02:22:26,750 -->

02:28:56,600 --> 02:28:49,590 beautiful on Cyclopes and other books 3244 02:28:59,001 --> 02:28:56,610 you're listening to the parrot calf with 3245 02:29:01,610 --> 02:28:59,011 Richard smoly on the power cast his book 3246 02:29:03,830 --> 02:29:01,620 of supernatural gene and Chris we only 3247 02:29:05,690 --> 02:29:03,840 have one segment left so I just took 3248 02:29:08,330 --> 02:29:05,700 this chapter at random you have a 3249 02:29:09,711 --> 02:29:08,340 chapter here will you cover secrets of 3250 02:29:11,360 --> 02:29:09,721 The Da Vinci Code and of course we think 3251 02:29:14,211 --> 02:29:11,370 of the movie in the best-selling novel 3252 02:29:17,150 --> 02:29:14,221 so in the practical world what secrets 3253 02:29:20,150 --> 02:29:17,160 should we be interested in you mean 3254 02:29:22,430 --> 02:29:20,160 in The DaVinci Code or just in general 3255 02:29:26,600 --> 02:29:22,440 in general about that The Da Vinci Code 3256 02:29:28,761 --> 02:29:26,610 oh well I think um you know I think 3257 02:29:31,461 --> 02:29:28,771 there's been a lot of debunking done uh 3258 02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:31,471 you know a lot of things Dan Brown says 3259 02:29:37,640 --> 02:29:34,250 um you know I think rightly so although 3260 02:29:39,980 --> 02:29:37,650 uh you know in his defense I mean he is 3261 02:29:41,870 --> 02:29:39,990 writing a book of fiction so he's you 3262 02:29:44,990 --> 02:29:41,880 know really entitled to you know made up 3263 02:29:47,270 --> 02:29:45,000 everything he does say based on I'll he 3264 02:29:49,520 --> 02:29:47,280 didn't make up everything Holy Blood 3265 02:29:51,591 --> 02:29:49,530 Holy Grail the authors of that book 3266 02:29:52,690 --> 02:29:51,601 actually seed him for plagiarism but 3267 02:29:56,631 --> 02:29:52,700 continue 3268 02:29:58,940 --> 02:29:56,641 well yeah but you know my impression was 3269 02:30:03,051 --> 02:29:58,950 that that suit was a little bit of a 3270 02:30:05,660 --> 02:30:03,061 publicity stunt in and of itself but I I 3271 02:30:08,230 --> 02:30:05,670 don't know I don't know that you think 3272 02:30:11,450 --> 02:30:08,240 it sells more books if you're being sued 3273 02:30:14,060 --> 02:30:11,460 well you know it certainly if you're the 3274 02:30:15,890 --> 02:30:14,070 authors of Holy Blood Holy Grail you 3275 02:30:17,390 --> 02:30:15,900 know it's three people have bought your 3276 02:30:21,470 --> 02:30:17,400 book and now you have this best-selling 3277 02:30:22,850 --> 02:30:21,480 book using similar ideas yeah I think 3278 02:30:25,310 --> 02:30:22,860 wholly brought the Holy Grail actually 3279 02:30:27,490 --> 02:30:25,320 sold quite well well there are a lot of 3280 02:30:30,020 --> 02:30:27,500 things to say about The DaVinci Code you 3281 02:30:34,430 --> 02:30:30,030 know one of the ones that's most 3282 02:30:38,570 --> 02:30:34,440 interesting is its claim toward the end 3283 02:30:39,980 --> 02:30:38,580 of the book that we're witnessing some 3284 02:30:43,671 --> 02:30:39,990 kind of resurgence of the Divine 3285 02:30:47,180 --> 02:30:43,681 Feminine and that's a major point he 3286 02:30:48,921 --> 02:30:47,190 makes in it with Mary Magdalene and you 3287 02:30:51,051 --> 02:30:48,931 know all sorts of other things that you 3288 02:30:53,030 --> 02:30:51,061 know would uh and I want to ruin the 3289 02:30:56,080 --> 02:30:53,040 plot for the one or two people who left 3290 02:30:57,300 --> 02:30:56,090 you haven't actually read it but um 3291 02:30:59,309 --> 02:30:57,310 [Music] 3292 02:31:02,849 --> 02:30:59,319 this kind of resurgence of the Divine 3293 02:31:06,510 --> 02:31:02,859 Feminine is kind of interesting it I 3294 02:31:08,609 --> 02:31:06,520 find it interesting because yeah there's 3295 02:31:09,960 --> 02:31:08,619 no way they're suppose you could say 3296 02:31:11,760 --> 02:31:09,970 there's a resurgence of the Divine 3297 02:31:15,719 --> 02:31:11,770 Feminine I mean you know you know 3298 02:31:17,340 --> 02:31:15,729 there's you know churches are trying to 3299 02:31:19,380 --> 02:31:17,350 avoid you know what's considered to be 3300 02:31:23,849 --> 02:31:19,390 sexist language and that sort of thing 3301 02:31:25,830 --> 02:31:23,859 but you know what you know anything any 3302 02:31:28,950 --> 02:31:25,840 values that you know would typically be 3303 02:31:33,149 --> 02:31:28,960 considered feminine are really not on 3304 02:31:35,790 --> 02:31:33,159 the upsurge in our society you know 3305 02:31:38,069 --> 02:31:35,800 we're you know I mean what we're seeing 3306 02:31:42,269 --> 02:31:38,079 is kind of this you know this constant 3307 02:31:45,660 --> 02:31:42,279 uh increasing um drive or the power mode 3308 02:31:47,399 --> 02:31:45,670 and the profit motive and you know you 3309 02:31:49,319 --> 02:31:47,409 know all these values that were you know 3310 02:31:51,630 --> 02:31:49,329 traditionally seen as feminine is like 3311 02:31:53,479 --> 02:31:51,640 you know yeah where are they where is 3312 02:31:57,420 --> 02:31:53,489 this resurgence in the Divine Feminine 3313 02:31:59,160 --> 02:31:57,430 now and I think that's one thing that 3314 02:32:01,679 --> 02:31:59,170 makes the book interesting because it 3315 02:32:05,990 --> 02:32:01,689 points to incredible longing for a lot 3316 02:32:08,639 --> 02:32:06,000 of these things uh I think you know it's 3317 02:32:11,130 --> 02:32:08,649 quite debatable whether you know we're 3318 02:32:13,050 --> 02:32:11,140 actually seeing anything like this 3319 02:32:14,819 --> 02:32:13,060 resurgence that he's talking about but I 3320 02:32:16,800 --> 02:32:14,829 think there's an enormous thirst for it 3321 02:32:19,429 --> 02:32:16,810 and I think I was one of the most 3322 02:32:22,050 --> 02:32:19,439 interesting things about the book for me 3323 02:32:26,040 --> 02:32:22,060 yeah the whole subject of the black 3324 02:32:30,290 --> 02:32:26,050 madonna I think I mean that's worthy 3325 02:32:34,170 --> 02:32:30,300 almost of an entire para cast show and 3326 02:32:37,519 --> 02:32:34,180 yeah I mean you know the you know as you 3327 02:32:41,069 --> 02:32:37,529 know you know the figure of Mary in 3328 02:32:43,500 --> 02:32:41,079 Christianity Catholicism particularly 3329 02:32:46,229 --> 02:32:43,510 you know has just continued to grow on 3330 02:32:48,780 --> 02:32:46,239 importance you know from you know the 3331 02:32:50,819 --> 02:32:48,790 first century ad you know nobody you 3332 02:32:54,750 --> 02:32:50,829 know had any particular special 3333 02:32:56,969 --> 02:32:54,760 attention to Mary but as the years went 3334 02:32:59,519 --> 02:32:56,979 on and the centuries went on you know 3335 02:33:03,120 --> 02:32:59,529 she became more and more important the 3336 02:33:05,969 --> 02:33:03,130 figure and you know she's you know if 3337 02:33:07,620 --> 02:33:05,979 you just go by the number of Marian 3338 02:33:10,450 --> 02:33:07,630 sightings they're bad I mean you know 3339 02:33:12,830 --> 02:33:10,460 she's certainly more 3340 02:33:15,890 --> 02:33:12,840 important to many people than Jesus or 3341 02:33:18,881 --> 02:33:15,900 God well we should also differentiate 3342 02:33:21,950 --> 02:33:18,891 between Mary the mother of Jesus in the 3343 02:33:26,030 --> 02:33:21,960 Christian tradition and the Magdalene 3344 02:33:27,640 --> 02:33:26,040 who according to you know Holy Blood 3345 02:33:31,341 --> 02:33:27,650 Holy Grail and revisionist 3346 02:33:34,900 --> 02:33:31,351 conspiratorial thinking Mary Magdalene 3347 02:33:38,171 --> 02:33:34,910 was the wife of Christ the Black Madonna 3348 02:33:40,700 --> 02:33:38,181 but that gets into a whole other 3349 02:33:43,160 --> 02:33:40,710 matriarchal sort of subject I don't 3350 02:33:45,860 --> 02:33:43,170 think they have time to cover yeah yeah 3351 02:33:47,841 --> 02:33:45,870 I mean you know I on the face of it 3352 02:33:52,251 --> 02:33:47,851 there's no particular reason to believe 3353 02:33:54,171 --> 02:33:52,261 that Jesus wasn't married um you know 3354 02:33:59,570 --> 02:33:54,181 certainly kind of the standard practice 3355 02:34:01,330 --> 02:33:59,580 for Jewish men in his era um and uh you 3356 02:34:03,980 --> 02:34:01,340 know the chief reason that people 3357 02:34:07,100 --> 02:34:03,990 scholars don't believe Jesus was married 3358 02:34:10,430 --> 02:34:07,110 is that you know when you know like in 3359 02:34:11,990 --> 02:34:10,440 in the epistles and whatnot you know 3360 02:34:14,990 --> 02:34:12,000 they're debating about married and that 3361 02:34:17,270 --> 02:34:15,000 sort of being married uh you know no 3362 02:34:18,950 --> 02:34:17,280 one's saying well Jesus was married you 3363 02:34:20,421 --> 02:34:18,960 know which is an argument you know had 3364 02:34:22,011 --> 02:34:20,431 it been true they would have you know 3365 02:34:23,421 --> 02:34:22,021 been willing to make I don't know how 3366 02:34:25,520 --> 02:34:23,431 much you want to hang on that particular 3367 02:34:29,530 --> 02:34:25,530 point but that is a case that's made 3368 02:34:32,660 --> 02:34:29,540 sometimes Mary Magdalene is you know um 3369 02:34:35,240 --> 02:34:32,670 like Jesus herself like Mary is in many 3370 02:34:38,990 --> 02:34:35,250 ways marrying another Christ is a 3371 02:34:44,060 --> 02:34:39,000 Rorschach blot um uh there's a great 3372 02:34:46,671 --> 02:34:44,070 deal that is not known about her and you 3373 02:34:49,400 --> 02:34:46,681 know the weight or attitudes toward her 3374 02:34:51,591 --> 02:34:49,410 have changed you know over the centuries 3375 02:34:53,301 --> 02:34:51,601 you know probably don't tell us too much 3376 02:34:55,341 --> 02:34:53,311 about Mary Magdalene or who she really 3377 02:34:57,140 --> 02:34:55,351 lies because I you know I'm not sure 3378 02:34:59,751 --> 02:34:57,150 anyone if I was gonna find that out 3379 02:35:01,580 --> 02:34:59,761 anytime soon but it's certainly 3380 02:35:05,330 --> 02:35:01,590 interested in saying like what people's 3381 02:35:07,791 --> 02:35:05,340 cultural aspirations are what you know 3382 02:35:09,410 --> 02:35:07,801 the you know how they see women and how 3383 02:35:11,720 --> 02:35:09,420 they think women are supposed to be seen 3384 02:35:13,131 --> 02:35:11,730 you know well you know Mary Magdalene a 3385 02:35:15,921 --> 02:35:13,141 sort of gone from this you know 3386 02:35:19,791 --> 02:35:15,931 repentant to you know Jesus is 3387 02:35:21,560 --> 02:35:19,801 life to this advanced mystical adapt you 3388 02:35:24,110 --> 02:35:21,570 know I mean it what is it face it says a 3389 02:35:26,360 --> 02:35:24,120 great deal about you know the role of 3390 02:35:28,220 --> 02:35:26,370 in our culture and how they want to be 3391 02:35:31,011 --> 02:35:28,230 seen does it does it say anything about 3392 02:35:32,960 --> 02:35:31,021 who Mary Magdalene was really way back 3393 02:35:34,820 --> 02:35:32,970 when not really because it just isn't 3394 02:35:36,801 --> 02:35:34,830 too much evidence about it one way or 3395 02:35:38,720 --> 02:35:36,811 the other I'll let you take it from 3396 02:35:40,390 --> 02:35:38,730 there Jeanne you just want to get me in 3397 02:35:43,040 --> 02:35:40,400 trouble my friend that's all 3398 02:35:46,341 --> 02:35:43,050 and this I have no opinion I'm Jewish so 3399 02:35:49,310 --> 02:35:46,351 I have no opinion about that the thing 3400 02:35:51,380 --> 02:35:49,320 is here why do we have such trouble 3401 02:35:53,660 --> 02:35:51,390 figuring out what happened then I mean 3402 02:35:55,700 --> 02:35:53,670 we debate what happened I guess we 3403 02:35:58,761 --> 02:35:55,710 debate what happened last week on the 3404 02:36:01,610 --> 02:35:58,771 24/7 cable news shows so how can we be 3405 02:36:03,710 --> 02:36:01,620 sure what happened 1500 or 2000 years 3406 02:36:07,040 --> 02:36:03,720 ago Yeah right 3407 02:36:08,540 --> 02:36:07,050 it's impossible yeah it's that's that's 3408 02:36:14,630 --> 02:36:08,550 uh you know I think that's very true 3409 02:36:17,600 --> 02:36:14,640 anyone's the given that we're gonna kind 3410 02:36:21,160 --> 02:36:17,610 of paint uh you know our own picture of 3411 02:36:26,720 --> 02:36:21,170 you know this kind of mythic event in uh 3412 02:36:28,310 --> 02:36:26,730 you know Western history you know it it 3413 02:36:29,650 --> 02:36:28,320 tells it you know it's a very least 3414 02:36:32,630 --> 02:36:29,660 gonna tell us something about ourselves 3415 02:36:34,430 --> 02:36:32,640 you know it may not you know tell us a 3416 02:36:36,770 --> 02:36:34,440 great deal about you know who these 3417 02:36:39,320 --> 02:36:36,780 people really were what they were about 3418 02:36:41,270 --> 02:36:39,330 I mean scholars themselves you know 3419 02:36:43,430 --> 02:36:41,280 people who really you know even 3420 02:36:45,140 --> 02:36:43,440 conventional academic scholars you know 3421 02:36:48,140 --> 02:36:45,150 come up with you know very very 3422 02:36:51,591 --> 02:36:48,150 different pictures um uh what was going 3423 02:36:52,730 --> 02:36:51,601 on back then um and you know they say a 3424 02:36:54,920 --> 02:36:52,740 lot about more about their 3425 02:36:57,350 --> 02:36:54,930 preconceptions and prejudices and they 3426 02:36:59,870 --> 02:36:57,360 do about the evidence which is is pretty 3427 02:37:03,320 --> 02:36:59,880 scared so I think you know at the very 3428 02:37:05,570 --> 02:37:03,330 least I kind of you know services a call 3429 02:37:07,910 --> 02:37:05,580 for some kind of humility about what we 3430 02:37:11,390 --> 02:37:07,920 may conclude about these things of 3431 02:37:15,380 --> 02:37:11,400 course you know so much has been hung on 3432 02:37:16,910 --> 02:37:15,390 you know historicity um the gospel 3433 02:37:20,420 --> 02:37:16,920 account Mother Jesus was really 3434 02:37:22,580 --> 02:37:20,430 resurrected and so on you know that for 3435 02:37:24,410 --> 02:37:22,590 a lot of people this is you know this is 3436 02:37:26,960 --> 02:37:24,420 a vital matter of faith that they can't 3437 02:37:29,450 --> 02:37:26,970 like really feel they can afford not to 3438 02:37:31,310 --> 02:37:29,460 take a position on you know as little as 3439 02:37:33,620 --> 02:37:31,320 they know about it as well as anybody 3440 02:37:35,390 --> 02:37:33,630 that was about it right and in the 3441 02:37:37,070 --> 02:37:35,400 modern age you're looking at you know 3442 02:37:40,840 --> 02:37:37,080 having to suspend 3443 02:37:43,480 --> 02:37:40,850 disbelief in abductions cryptozoological 3444 02:37:48,230 --> 02:37:43,490 creatures like the Loch Ness monster 3445 02:37:51,290 --> 02:37:48,240 UFOs Barack Obama I mean it doesn't 3446 02:37:54,230 --> 02:37:51,300 matter where you look in the modern age 3447 02:37:56,240 --> 02:37:54,240 you have to have a sense of belief that 3448 02:37:59,780 --> 02:37:56,250 everything is going the way it should 3449 02:38:02,540 --> 02:37:59,790 and we all have to trust that we're 3450 02:38:06,890 --> 02:38:02,550 moving in a positive direction when in 3451 02:38:09,170 --> 02:38:06,900 fact the facts kind of show that maybe 3452 02:38:11,030 --> 02:38:09,180 things are a little bit more in upheaval 3453 02:38:13,011 --> 02:38:11,040 than maybe we would like to think 3454 02:38:16,190 --> 02:38:13,021 Richard Smalley where can
