1 00:00:09,799 --> 00:00:08,179 welcome to skeptic Oh where we explore 2 00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:09,809 controversial science with leading 3 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:12,360 researchers thinkers and of course their 4 00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:15,450 critics one thing that especially 5 00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:19,230 fascinates me is things hidden in plain 6 00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:22,350 sight things that are not obvious until 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:24,510 someone points it out and then once they 8 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:27,170 do you're like yeah I kind of knew that 9 00:00:34,370 --> 00:00:29,730 it's hard for me to imagine a better 10 00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:34,380 example then the stars in the sky in the 11 00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:37,620 universal stories that are told about 12 00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:38,280 those 13 00:00:45,529 --> 00:00:41,870 I mean why all the epic myths by the 14 00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:45,539 heroic warrior God adventures and why 15 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,500 the heck are all civilizations from all 16 00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:51,840 different parts of the world telling the 17 00:00:57,139 --> 00:00:54,600 same story think about that last one for 18 00:01:00,650 --> 00:00:57,149 a minute so there's this ancient guy in 19 00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:00,660 Polynesia sitting on a surfboard looking 20 00:01:04,729 --> 00:01:03,300 up at some random blob of stars because 21 00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:04,739 that's what they look like to most of us 22 00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:08,310 and he's telling the same sacred story 23 00:01:14,929 --> 00:01:12,360 as some Viking in Iceland who's buried 24 00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:14,939 up to his waist and snow and the same 25 00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,200 story that some african tribesmen hold 26 00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:21,600 sacred as something that's been passed 27 00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:25,439 on forever that's not supposed to happen 28 00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:29,670 that's not explainable by our current 29 00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:32,670 understanding of how anthropology works 30 00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:35,369 we don't have any archaeological 31 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:37,710 evidence to support why all these 32 00:01:44,569 --> 00:01:40,560 civilizations would be connected in that 33 00:01:47,859 --> 00:01:44,579 way well today's returning guest David 34 00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:47,869 Matheson has almost single-handedly 35 00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:51,600 changed the way we think about stars and 36 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:54,360 the star mists associated with them and 37 00:02:00,830 --> 00:01:57,570 this hidden in plain sight 38 00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:00,840 kind of thing that I just talked about 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:04,259 his books star mists of the world vol 1 40 00:02:09,169 --> 00:02:06,450 2 3 I think you're defying for now 41 00:02:11,970 --> 00:02:09,179 aren't you do ya I'm going for is Norse 42 00:02:14,130 --> 00:02:11,980 myths and it was published in 2018 Alex 43 00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,140 I say I'm one volume behind hard to keep 44 00:02:18,059 --> 00:02:16,000 up with this guy and he's got a bunch of 45 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:18,069 other books that will introduce you to 46 00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:21,840 excellent books overwhelmingly clear 47 00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:24,060 convincing I would say at this point 48 00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:28,510 undeniable evidence for the universal 49 00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,500 star myth hypothesis but what's really 50 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:34,239 cool and I'm going on here for a while 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:35,920 but I want to get it up to this point 52 00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:38,530 because what's really cool about today's 53 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:40,660 interview and what we're going to get 54 00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:45,310 into is the messages behind those myths 55 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:47,500 so if we can get to the point of saying 56 00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:50,230 yeah that seems pretty undeniable then 57 00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:52,349 we ought to take the next step and say 58 00:02:58,770 --> 00:02:55,750 what might be the message behind it I 59 00:03:01,319 --> 00:02:58,780 mean if there was some great teacher and 60 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:01,329 just put a pin in that for a second who 61 00:03:06,210 --> 00:03:03,250 took the trouble to spread this 62 00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:06,220 perennial wisdom throughout our world 63 00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:08,950 throughout ancient civilizations to our 64 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:11,620 planet then maybe we ought to figure out 65 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,450 what they were trying to tell us so 66 00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:15,040 that's what we're gonna do today 67 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:18,910 with fantastic guest star myth master 68 00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:21,280 David Matheson who I have total respect 69 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:24,340 for as a fellow seeker on the path I 70 00:03:30,059 --> 00:03:26,970 pranaam to you even though in typical 71 00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:30,069 skeptical fashion of inquiry to 72 00:03:35,009 --> 00:03:32,950 perpetuate doubt I'm probably gonna have 73 00:03:38,009 --> 00:03:35,019 some contentious points with you on a 74 00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:38,019 couple of these issues but that's the 75 00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:39,790 kind of stuff I like the level 3 76 00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:41,889 discussion beyond the kind of usual 77 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:44,350 stuff it's so great to have you back 78 00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:46,450 David I'm so glad you initiated this 79 00:03:50,670 --> 00:03:48,190 because this whole conversation is 80 00:03:52,559 --> 00:03:50,680 taking on a life of its own that I am 81 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:52,569 really really excited to get in the 82 00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,510 middle of so let me step back and say 83 00:03:59,490 --> 00:03:57,519 welcome and thank you for joining me 84 00:04:02,490 --> 00:03:59,500 well thank you Alex and thank you for 85 00:04:05,789 --> 00:04:02,500 that kind and generous introduction 86 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:05,799 so the conversation that we will have 87 00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:07,030 will be different than any other 88 00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:08,910 conversation because you'll bring out 89 00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:11,829 questions from your experience and 90 00:04:16,699 --> 00:04:13,329 background and perspective that nobody 91 00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:16,709 else can oh yeah you can count on that 92 00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:20,140 hey as I as I told you I'm kind of into 93 00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:23,920 my skeptical jeopardy phase 94 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:26,080 leave em phone for me I hope people are 95 00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:27,970 receiving it well and that's what I 96 00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:30,760 thought we play today as a way of kind 97 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:34,030 of framing up this chat we might have 98 00:04:38,730 --> 00:04:36,370 and for those who are listening to the 99 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:38,740 sceptical jeopardy board here it is 100 00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:42,490 stars purposely concealed authentic self 101 00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:46,030 the spiritual path contact modalities on 102 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:50,110 that wall myth versus history academia 103 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,400 and ancient aliens you know we really 104 00:05:00,060 --> 00:04:57,040 probably ought to start even though I 105 00:05:05,190 --> 00:05:00,070 did a long introduction with stars 106 00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:05,200 because that's what this is about and on 107 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:07,240 your website your excellent website I 108 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:09,850 picked up three phrases that I think are 109 00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:12,490 kind of key to the whole thing so I 110 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:14,500 explained what the star myth thing is 111 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:17,530 but please do it in your own language 112 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:20,370 and the three words are verifiable 113 00:05:25,980 --> 00:05:23,680 Universal and profound profound 114 00:05:29,790 --> 00:05:25,990 invisible realm that it opens this up to 115 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:29,800 so maybe you want to kind of take off on 116 00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:32,110 that great yeah I'm already liking your 117 00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:35,620 format so I'll take stars four stars for 118 00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:36,850 a hundred thousand and if you hear 119 00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,550 that's a hundred things a game where you 120 00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:44,080 can only win the money you can't 121 00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:44,950 actually lose money 122 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:46,360 I can't lose 100 thousand with this 123 00:05:53,490 --> 00:05:50,770 question Kenneth so yeah I've got my my 124 00:05:55,890 --> 00:05:53,500 dog is calmly in nearby he likes to be 125 00:05:59,580 --> 00:05:55,900 nearby so if you hear any distracting 126 00:06:04,440 --> 00:05:59,590 noises don't blame me it's he's you he's 127 00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:04,450 in his place so star myths the phrase I 128 00:06:09,810 --> 00:06:07,240 like to use is that virtually all of the 129 00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:09,820 world's ancient myths scriptures and 130 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:11,590 sacred stories as you said in the 131 00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:15,130 introduction are based on a system of 132 00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:17,860 celestial metaphor and people sometimes 133 00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:20,590 say what what are you talking about well 134 00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:24,120 to make it even more precise I would say 135 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:26,830 virtually all the characters and 136 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:31,330 episodes of the various myths whether 137 00:06:35,950 --> 00:06:34,000 it's the myths of ancient Greece the 138 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:35,960 Norse myths 139 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:38,210 from the Pacific like you alluded to in 140 00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:40,610 the opening or from Maya or from North 141 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:43,580 America Africa Australia virtually all 142 00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:46,610 those characters and the episodes can be 143 00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:50,360 shown can be shown to be based on 144 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:54,440 specific constellations the problem that 145 00:06:59,020 --> 00:06:56,090 many people have in getting their minds 146 00:07:00,939 --> 00:06:59,030 around even what I just said it is it's 147 00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:00,949 very difficult for most people to 148 00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:02,870 envision the constellation because we 149 00:07:07,779 --> 00:07:05,199 haven't been taught the constellations 150 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:07,789 that might be in a different Square on 151 00:07:14,140 --> 00:07:10,690 Jeopardy but for one reason or another 152 00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:14,150 if I say even to somebody who maybe 153 00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:18,889 reads astrology columns every day if I 154 00:07:22,659 --> 00:07:21,380 said can you sketch out the stars of 155 00:07:28,529 --> 00:07:22,669 Sagittarius 156 00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:28,539 or the stars of the constellation Gemini 157 00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:30,590 they might have a difficult time 158 00:07:35,529 --> 00:07:33,229 actually sketching out the Stars the 159 00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:35,539 outline or even pointing them out to me 160 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:36,620 in the heavens even though they know 161 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:39,710 very extensive knowledge about the 162 00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:43,520 system of what Gemini represents or you 163 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:45,380 know what characteristics are associated 164 00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:48,050 with Gemini maybe let me just interject 165 00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:50,870 in here that's all the time I mean the 166 00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:53,710 modern understanding of those 167 00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:56,870 constellations are that they must have 168 00:08:02,800 --> 00:07:59,210 been really really bored and had a 169 00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:02,810 really wild imagination because so look 170 00:08:08,649 --> 00:08:05,840 at those random patterns and see what 171 00:08:11,890 --> 00:08:08,659 they see doesn't make any sense that is 172 00:08:13,810 --> 00:08:11,900 the modern interpretation of it so you 173 00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:13,820 kind of have two levels to bridge there 174 00:08:18,850 --> 00:08:16,039 one is people are dismissing it because 175 00:08:21,219 --> 00:08:18,860 it's like I can't see those things up 176 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:21,229 there and then number two if even if you 177 00:08:24,129 --> 00:08:22,610 pointed out to me I'd say well it's just 178 00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:24,139 kind of silly from a bunch of people who 179 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:26,150 are really Borden had a vivid 180 00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:27,050 imagination 181 00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:28,520 that's right sometimes the term 182 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:31,070 pareidolia comes up you know seeing 183 00:08:37,959 --> 00:08:34,010 shapes in the clouds well we all can do 184 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:37,969 that paranoia is the human tendency some 185 00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:39,890 say it was an evolutionary tendency to 186 00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:41,990 see faces because if you're an infant a 187 00:08:48,189 --> 00:08:46,220 smiling adult face could be your means 188 00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:48,199 of sustenance so we kind of start to see 189 00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:49,590 faces everywhere 190 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:52,040 look at that tree I see a face in it 191 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,510 that's that there's a term for that 192 00:08:59,240 --> 00:08:56,640 called pareidolia Carl Sagan actually 193 00:09:01,820 --> 00:08:59,250 talked about it in this essay he wrote 194 00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:01,830 called the demon haunted world where he 195 00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:05,100 said oh people kind of imagine demons 196 00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:08,000 it's kind of an Angels it's kind of a 197 00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:11,880 outgrowth of pareidolia so so I I'm 198 00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:14,670 trying to put a put the full weight of 199 00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:16,830 the anti argument and now I actually 200 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:18,750 didn't say one further we have to bridge 201 00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:20,850 even a third thing from what you said 202 00:09:25,610 --> 00:09:23,340 you're right how do you know you say oh 203 00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:25,620 that's just pareidolia Dave you're just 204 00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:27,990 seeing some shapes that you see I don't 205 00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:29,520 even see those I see different ones 206 00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:32,040 who's the same and you're wrong or 207 00:09:39,770 --> 00:09:36,420 you're right none wrong but even further 208 00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:39,780 Tina swallowed like a piece of dust even 209 00:09:48,260 --> 00:09:44,670 further would be to say now it would be 210 00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:48,270 very unlikely for a culture in 211 00:09:54,890 --> 00:09:51,750 Polynesian islands scattered across the 212 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:54,900 Pacific to connect those stars the same 213 00:10:01,780 --> 00:09:58,170 way as ancient Greece on the entire 214 00:10:04,460 --> 00:10:01,790 opposite side of the globe without any 215 00:10:06,530 --> 00:10:04,470 contact and not too many people would in 216 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:06,540 academia would allege that ancient 217 00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:09,090 Egyptian were in contact with ancient 218 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:13,280 Maya or ancient Polynesia or Pacific 219 00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:18,450 Ocean in some constellations people 220 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:20,270 could say well you know what the the 221 00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:23,490 northern round it's very distinctive it 222 00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:25,260 looks like an arc I could see that being 223 00:10:30,860 --> 00:10:28,680 imagined as a necklace or a crown in 224 00:10:32,990 --> 00:10:30,870 many different cultures because humans 225 00:10:35,060 --> 00:10:33,000 wear necklaces we all have next they 226 00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:35,070 wear crowns we all have heads that 227 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:37,140 constellation I could see that cropping 228 00:10:43,370 --> 00:10:39,200 up but some of these connections are so 229 00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:43,380 arcane so obscure and some of these 230 00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:45,030 constellations are very difficult to 231 00:10:50,930 --> 00:10:46,590 pick out even if you know what you're 232 00:10:55,090 --> 00:10:50,940 looking for that it would be very hard 233 00:10:58,700 --> 00:10:55,100 to argue that around the world people 234 00:11:00,110 --> 00:10:58,710 imagined the same constellations and 235 00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:00,120 imbued them with the same 236 00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:01,740 characteristics and yet that's what we 237 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:03,390 find in a myth so 238 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:07,770 setting up an even higher bill or high 239 00:11:12,580 --> 00:11:09,330 jump that I have to try and jump on to 240 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:12,590 and yet this is just what the evidence 241 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:16,730 overwhelmingly overwhelmingly suggests 242 00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:19,230 yeah exactly I mean you don't even have 243 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:22,260 to get very far into this I mean you are 244 00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:27,450 truly um you're a researcher I mean you 245 00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:30,540 used to teach college there at West 246 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:34,590 Point right so you're and you understand 247 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:37,290 academia you understand what it takes to 248 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:40,560 convince you know a body of intelligent 249 00:11:44,540 --> 00:11:42,810 people and you've way overshot the 250 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:44,550 target right I mean anyone who picks up 251 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:46,410 your book volume one two three four I 252 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:47,970 mean you're just gonna be blown away 253 00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:50,130 there's there's no way this stuff can be 254 00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:52,560 explained away and what's left is this 255 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:55,190 huge mystery which never will be 256 00:11:59,510 --> 00:11:57,810 explained away because at least that's 257 00:12:02,870 --> 00:11:59,520 my contention is that the part of the 258 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:02,880 process we don't there's maybe that's 259 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:06,930 another skeptic Oh jeopardy a bored 260 00:12:14,530 --> 00:12:11,450 piece here because purposely concealed 261 00:12:16,910 --> 00:12:14,540 relates not so much to the 262 00:12:18,850 --> 00:12:16,920 constellations but one of the things I 263 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:18,860 picked up on what you talked about 264 00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:22,290 alluded to is that at some point in our 265 00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:26,310 history the chain of this spreading of 266 00:12:33,950 --> 00:12:29,910 wisdom was intentionally broken and we 267 00:12:38,630 --> 00:12:33,960 kind of wound up with you know this 268 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:38,640 disconnect from this esoteric wisdom do 269 00:12:46,130 --> 00:12:42,240 you want to touch on that at all yeah so 270 00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:46,140 this is this is a big part of the part 271 00:12:50,990 --> 00:12:49,260 of the story and when you say we you 272 00:12:53,420 --> 00:12:51,000 know it's almost worldwide at this point 273 00:12:56,690 --> 00:12:53,430 but really you had up on you're 274 00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:56,700 skeptical square jeopardy Square Roman 275 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:01,920 and it primarily happened I would argue 276 00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:03,810 in the Roman Empire in places at the 277 00:13:10,070 --> 00:13:07,820 Roman Empire conquered and those other 278 00:13:12,620 --> 00:13:10,080 parts of the world that didn't get 279 00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:12,630 conquered by the Roman Empire such as 280 00:13:18,829 --> 00:13:16,680 India or China or North 281 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:18,839 America Central America South America 282 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:22,649 the Pacific stayed more in touch with 283 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:25,680 their quote-unquote original 284 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:28,649 instructions their ancient wisdom the 285 00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:30,450 term original instructions I'll give 286 00:13:34,220 --> 00:13:32,910 credit to Peter Kingsley and author that 287 00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:34,230 people might want to check out Peter 288 00:13:40,370 --> 00:13:36,529 Kingsley write some very interesting 289 00:13:42,829 --> 00:13:40,380 analysis and fantastic books the 290 00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:42,839 original instructions of every culture 291 00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:44,760 wouldn't it be nice if we were all still 292 00:13:51,860 --> 00:13:47,160 in touch with the original instructions 293 00:13:54,380 --> 00:13:51,870 but what happened at some point and this 294 00:13:57,139 --> 00:13:54,390 is not really debatable is something 295 00:14:00,170 --> 00:13:57,149 called literalist Christianity was 296 00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:00,180 instituted in the Roman Empire how it 297 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:04,190 how it went from a small group to 298 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:06,720 Emperor Constantine declaring that he 299 00:14:13,070 --> 00:14:09,410 was a Christian and then eventually 300 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:13,080 declaring that Christianity was the was 301 00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:15,120 the official religion of the Roman 302 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:18,420 Empire and some successive Emperor's 303 00:14:24,410 --> 00:14:21,360 between Constantine and Theodosius kept 304 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:24,420 upping the requirement to where ok 305 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Christianity is an official religion 306 00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:27,570 okay now we've got to get rid of all the 307 00:14:33,980 --> 00:14:30,000 pagan gods okay now we're going to shut 308 00:14:35,449 --> 00:14:33,990 down the temple at Delphi that had been 309 00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:35,459 in operation for at least eight 310 00:14:39,290 --> 00:14:37,620 centuries maybe longer the Eleusinian 311 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:39,300 mysteries of Greece they were still 312 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:41,970 going the Eleusinian mysteries had found 313 00:14:47,660 --> 00:14:45,450 been going for 800 years or more when 314 00:14:52,340 --> 00:14:47,670 Theodosius shut them down in the late 315 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:52,350 300 AD this is all historical pretty 316 00:14:55,850 --> 00:14:54,480 indisputable some people might dispute 317 00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:55,860 it but it's pretty well established that 318 00:15:02,690 --> 00:14:59,130 the Roman Empire became literalist 319 00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:02,700 Christian that in itself is a bit of a 320 00:15:05,569 --> 00:15:03,360 head-scratcher 321 00:15:08,510 --> 00:15:05,579 if you're a Christian literalist you 322 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:08,520 would say well it's God's providence it 323 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:12,690 would be pretty hard to take over the 324 00:15:19,730 --> 00:15:16,170 Roman Empire well let's we have to throw 325 00:15:22,819 --> 00:15:19,740 in there the kind of counter explanation 326 00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:22,829 for what's going on with Constantine and 327 00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:24,990 the Romans and it's uncomfortable for 328 00:15:29,540 --> 00:15:27,120 people because it's sound so 329 00:15:31,970 --> 00:15:29,550 conspiratorial but it to me 330 00:15:35,630 --> 00:15:31,980 it's the best way to line up with the 331 00:15:38,510 --> 00:15:35,640 facts one the church quote unquote that 332 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:38,520 Constantine establishes is really an 333 00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:45,050 exact redo reboot of the Roman existing 334 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:47,430 system that they have with the 12 335 00:15:53,570 --> 00:15:49,440 pillars and the twelfth ideal whole 336 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:53,580 thing and then further this is this is 337 00:16:00,770 --> 00:15:56,850 ushered in with serfdom right so rights 338 00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:00,780 of all the subjects are taken away you 339 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:02,820 can no longer own land you can no longer 340 00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:04,650 even choose what job you have you have 341 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:08,390 to choose the profession of your of your 342 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:11,610 parents and all these other restrictions 343 00:16:16,180 --> 00:16:13,530 that basically turn people into slaves 344 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:16,190 and in turn what you get for that is 345 00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:18,930 eternal salvation oh here we have now 346 00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:20,280 have this state religion that we're 347 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:22,200 going to support and you're gonna follow 348 00:16:25,790 --> 00:16:24,690 it and then you'll get yours in heaven 349 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:25,800 I'll get mine now 350 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:28,050 so I mean you don't even have to be that 351 00:16:34,250 --> 00:16:31,130 cynical to see this as a massive kind of 352 00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:34,260 social engineering social control kind 353 00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:37,350 of thing and certainly even if you don't 354 00:16:40,580 --> 00:16:39,390 if you have a hard time wrapping your 355 00:16:41,810 --> 00:16:40,590 head around that then you just 356 00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:41,820 fast-forward and you see how it plays 357 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:44,100 out I mean that's exactly how it plays 358 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:46,410 out so even if you don't accept that 359 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:47,850 that was the intention from the 360 00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:50,510 beginning it's kind of hard to deny that 361 00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:54,030 well yeah that's a that's an interesting 362 00:16:59,900 --> 00:16:56,310 way of putting it I might not choose the 363 00:17:02,450 --> 00:16:59,910 exact same words in my description but 364 00:17:04,370 --> 00:17:02,460 I'm in generally agreeing with what 365 00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:04,380 you're saying because that is what grew 366 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:08,190 out of basically I mean some questions 367 00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:09,810 to be asked to be well why would you do 368 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:11,310 it with Christianity if you've already 369 00:17:18,650 --> 00:17:15,330 got the pagan God so-called or their 370 00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:18,660 ancient gods and the Vestal Virgins and 371 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:21,300 all the different institutions of the 372 00:17:28,250 --> 00:17:24,450 the Senate was kind of the protector of 373 00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:28,260 the traditional religion in the Roman 374 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:32,460 Empire but all those gods that you 375 00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:35,130 mentioned we know we're pretty familiar 376 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:37,710 with the correspondence with the gods of 377 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:41,280 ancient Greece Zeus goes right with 378 00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:43,210 Jupiter in fact this 379 00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:47,830 Potter Pantera means father in Roman or 380 00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:51,790 Latin Zeus Potter or Jupiter the Zeus 381 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:55,360 the Father Jove the father corresponds 382 00:17:59,670 --> 00:17:56,650 directly to Zeus and they were very 383 00:18:02,490 --> 00:17:59,680 comfortable with this Mars corresponds 384 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:02,500 with Ares Venus with Aphrodite and even 385 00:18:07,860 --> 00:18:04,000 when the Romans would be fighting the 386 00:18:10,290 --> 00:18:07,870 Germanic peoples of northern Europe you 387 00:18:13,140 --> 00:18:10,300 can read the accounts there's plenty of 388 00:18:14,490 --> 00:18:13,150 the texts and surviving accounts where 389 00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:14,500 they would say oh well they have this 390 00:18:19,530 --> 00:18:18,040 God who corresponds to our Mars they 391 00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:19,540 have this God who corresponds to our 392 00:18:27,330 --> 00:18:24,150 Hercules they had no problem seeing 393 00:18:30,180 --> 00:18:27,340 around the world that their work around 394 00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:30,190 their world that the gods of other 395 00:18:34,130 --> 00:18:32,260 peoples even under different names with 396 00:18:36,570 --> 00:18:34,140 slightly different clothing or 397 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:36,580 characteristics or maybe facial hair and 398 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:39,690 you know Odin has a beard whereas 399 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:44,530 mercury doesn't or you know some 400 00:18:48,510 --> 00:18:46,090 slightly different ways of worshipping 401 00:18:50,220 --> 00:18:48,520 they still perceived well this God 402 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:50,230 corresponds to this god and even today 403 00:18:58,860 --> 00:18:55,690 we have Thursday Thursday in Latin eight 404 00:19:02,760 --> 00:18:58,870 languages or Romance languages is named 405 00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:02,770 after Jove waveace in Spanish or 406 00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:06,070 miƩrcoles Mercury's day that's our 407 00:19:11,220 --> 00:19:09,040 Wednesday Odin's day really interesting 408 00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:11,230 that correspondence was understood so 409 00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:13,240 why did they have to get rid of that 410 00:19:17,730 --> 00:19:15,550 system or what yeah hold on I mean 411 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:17,740 that's that's awesome and I'm with you 412 00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:20,530 on all that but in there I think is the 413 00:19:24,450 --> 00:19:21,670 answer the question that you're asking 414 00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:24,460 the reason that they had to do it they 415 00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:26,200 didn't have to do it but that whole 416 00:19:30,570 --> 00:19:28,630 strategy was a co-opting conquer 417 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:30,580 strategy right so they weren't 418 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:33,370 interested in really assimilating with 419 00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:35,350 the Germanic people that was just a way 420 00:19:39,570 --> 00:19:37,060 of budding up to him before they slid 421 00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:39,580 all their throats right so I mean they 422 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:41,470 go in and they say hey you know what 423 00:19:46,050 --> 00:19:43,330 we're a lot alike 424 00:19:48,030 --> 00:19:46,060 you got sadder we have Saturn you have 425 00:19:50,670 --> 00:19:48,040 you know all this kind of stuff so but 426 00:19:52,790 --> 00:19:50,680 then I mean the the Druids are still 427 00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:52,800 gonna be slaughtered right so was mass 428 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:55,870 extinction of the of the Druids it's not 429 00:19:59,340 --> 00:19:57,010 like they really risk 430 00:20:01,080 --> 00:19:59,350 the religion this is a Roman kind of 431 00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:01,090 deal I mean Romans conquered that's what 432 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:01,870 they're good at 433 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:04,809 so the the fact that they did the reboot 434 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:06,850 for Christianity I understand you don't 435 00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:08,650 have to go there or you don't go there 436 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:10,419 and you don't have to go there but to me 437 00:20:15,930 --> 00:20:14,080 that seems totally in line with what 438 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:15,940 they always did you know it's a kind of 439 00:20:18,270 --> 00:20:17,679 bait and switch give them this take it 440 00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:18,280 away 441 00:20:24,090 --> 00:20:22,030 that's my dad well I mean this is an 442 00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:24,100 interesting conversation and it's not 443 00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:25,870 the area that I taught at the college 444 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:28,870 level so you know professionals in this 445 00:20:33,090 --> 00:20:31,120 area might take exception to the 446 00:20:36,330 --> 00:20:33,100 direction that we take it but I might 447 00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:36,340 suggest that the Romans had an empire 448 00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:38,980 that was very successful because they 449 00:20:42,330 --> 00:20:40,600 did things slightly differently than 450 00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:42,340 some other empires they were actually 451 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:45,520 very simple artistic or syncretic in 452 00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:48,250 that they would say to the they weren't 453 00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:50,590 really the cut everyone's throat when we 454 00:20:56,340 --> 00:20:54,790 conquered you Empire certainly right 455 00:20:58,380 --> 00:20:56,350 certainly I'm not suggesting they were 456 00:21:01,260 --> 00:20:58,390 cuddly and friendly they were hardcore 457 00:21:03,450 --> 00:21:01,270 very effective fighters but they would 458 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:03,460 generally say hey we'll set your gods up 459 00:21:09,630 --> 00:21:06,250 right here next to our gods they weren't 460 00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:09,640 necessarily evangelistic with their gods 461 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:11,200 there like I said they would say oh you 462 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:13,510 know well we correspond in with Hercules 463 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:15,850 you want to have a with Venus you 464 00:21:20,250 --> 00:21:17,770 want to have a temple to Isis and 465 00:21:22,830 --> 00:21:20,260 actually you know the ISIS mysteries 466 00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:22,840 became a big deal in Rome and that's 467 00:21:28,650 --> 00:21:25,140 really coming obviously from Egypt so 468 00:21:31,289 --> 00:21:28,660 it's really Christianity later on under 469 00:21:33,630 --> 00:21:31,299 in the time of what you're talking about 470 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:33,640 the feudal system that was set up after 471 00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:36,970 Rome quote/unquote fell we could talk 472 00:21:41,970 --> 00:21:39,910 about that too it was actually more 473 00:21:44,669 --> 00:21:41,980 convenient for these large families that 474 00:21:46,620 --> 00:21:44,679 now had lots of land to say hey let's 475 00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:46,630 get rid of these pesky Emperor's because 476 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:48,760 Emperor's are a pain they're constantly 477 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:50,410 overthrowing one another and causing 478 00:21:55,770 --> 00:21:52,960 havoc and having all these intrigues and 479 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:55,780 this Emperor March of this one want to 480 00:21:59,820 --> 00:21:57,610 be Emperor marches in gathers up a bunch 481 00:22:02,340 --> 00:21:59,830 of troops marches in to attack the 482 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:02,350 existing Emperor and it just messes up 483 00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:03,610 our economy let's get rid of that 484 00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:06,640 Emperor and we can have a much more 485 00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:09,790 lucrative system of collecting rents off 486 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:13,510 all this land that we've got so okay so 487 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:16,810 I think that did happen we could you 488 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:18,130 know I don't want to get too bogged down 489 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:19,930 in it but I don't want to get bogged 490 00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:22,150 down and either because I took us there 491 00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:23,800 but I made a note I mean this is a 492 00:22:29,250 --> 00:22:27,190 future Skeptical episode because I've 493 00:22:31,410 --> 00:22:29,260 had this floating around and you know 494 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:31,420 certainly I had Joseph that well on the 495 00:22:34,980 --> 00:22:33,280 show a couple times and he feels like 496 00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:34,990 he's got this wired and that's exactly 497 00:22:38,070 --> 00:22:36,580 the way it is but there's another guest 498 00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:38,080 out there I'm not gonna reveal who it is 499 00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:40,990 I think really has this wired as well 500 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:44,230 and that's great everything everything 501 00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:46,720 you said was great it but it is kind of 502 00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:48,700 a little bit off topic for all the 503 00:22:52,740 --> 00:22:50,680 amazing stuff that you have so I'm gonna 504 00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:52,750 back off here and this is the skeptical 505 00:22:59,780 --> 00:22:55,150 jeopardy board and you should pick where 506 00:23:02,640 --> 00:22:59,790 we go next David great well why don't we 507 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:02,650 just before we pick will keep the 508 00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:04,720 listeners in its to suspense for just a 509 00:23:10,410 --> 00:23:06,190 second and there was another thing you 510 00:23:12,930 --> 00:23:10,420 said about academia having a hard time 511 00:23:15,450 --> 00:23:12,940 getting their arms around us I forget 512 00:23:19,490 --> 00:23:15,460 exactly how you phrased it but really I 513 00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:19,500 think it's in line with the skeptical 514 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:23,110 mission statement of exploring paradigms 515 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:26,770 how do paradigms change you know when 516 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:29,650 when you say Oh David has written so 517 00:23:38,910 --> 00:23:34,690 much has written so may I written really 518 00:23:41,130 --> 00:23:38,920 over 5,000 pages of books that you say 519 00:23:43,650 --> 00:23:41,140 it should be just proven now some people 520 00:23:46,770 --> 00:23:43,660 might say but wait a minute how many 521 00:23:49,770 --> 00:23:46,780 pages of peer-reviewed papers has David 522 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:49,780 published and then I'll tell you I've 523 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:52,570 sent in some academic style papers I 524 00:23:56,610 --> 00:23:54,010 know how to write an academic style 525 00:23:58,830 --> 00:23:56,620 paper and I politely told this isn't 526 00:24:01,950 --> 00:23:58,840 very interesting or this doesn't exactly 527 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:01,960 fit or this is and I'm like what do you 528 00:24:05,370 --> 00:24:03,490 mean it doesn't exactly fit this is 529 00:24:07,170 --> 00:24:05,380 right in your wheelhouse but the problem 530 00:24:09,450 --> 00:24:07,180 is if it is outside of the existing 531 00:24:12,690 --> 00:24:09,460 paradigm or if it threatens the existing 532 00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:12,700 paradigm then it's going to meet with 533 00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:13,990 resistance not necessarily 534 00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:17,260 conspiratorial resistance either but you 535 00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:20,640 know there are institutional types of 536 00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:23,110 resistance or if I'm a 537 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:24,880 I've worked my way up through academia 538 00:24:28,530 --> 00:24:26,890 through all these hurdles that I have to 539 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:28,540 go through and now I'm a tenure and a 540 00:24:34,350 --> 00:24:30,730 nearly tenured professor / if I start 541 00:24:37,230 --> 00:24:34,360 talking about a paradigm that's as there 542 00:24:39,570 --> 00:24:37,240 seems to be a similar thing or even a 543 00:24:42,990 --> 00:24:39,580 common man system being operated in 544 00:24:44,610 --> 00:24:43,000 ancient Egypt and the sacred stories of 545 00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:44,620 Australia sacred stories of North 546 00:24:50,730 --> 00:24:47,350 America or even sacred stories of the 547 00:24:53,549 --> 00:24:50,740 Norse that causes problems if I were to 548 00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:53,559 show maybe connections between the stars 549 00:24:58,289 --> 00:24:55,510 and the Greek myths and stay within that 550 00:25:00,450 --> 00:24:58,299 system that might have some interest but 551 00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:00,460 the minute you say this appears to be a 552 00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:04,600 worldwide system that extends to explode 553 00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:07,990 the existing paradigm and and what 554 00:25:11,730 --> 00:25:09,910 happens with paradigm paradigm shift 555 00:25:14,370 --> 00:25:11,740 over time we know this in science we can 556 00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:14,380 see that say plate tectonics introduced 557 00:25:19,950 --> 00:25:17,559 in 1906 by Alfred Wegener was ridiculed 558 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:19,960 and people said there's no way that the 559 00:25:24,510 --> 00:25:22,330 the continental the floors underneath 560 00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:24,520 the sea can let those continents move 561 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:26,230 around because there are all solid well 562 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:28,330 after world war ii with increasing 563 00:25:33,090 --> 00:25:31,450 technology and submarine sensing they 564 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:33,100 said whoa look at all these ridges on 565 00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:34,330 the bottom of the ocean maybe this 566 00:25:40,409 --> 00:25:37,540 theory finally a 60s and 70s it began to 567 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:40,419 be it began to be accepted and what I 568 00:25:45,419 --> 00:25:42,370 would say about a paradigm is it will 569 00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:45,429 explain usually a lot of things but 570 00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:47,710 there's always this like outlier I call 571 00:25:51,930 --> 00:25:49,750 it the little bag of parts this is a 572 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,940 metaphor if you've ever taken apart an 573 00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:53,440 engine or tried to fix something in your 574 00:25:56,610 --> 00:25:54,880 car engine and you put it all back 575 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,620 together and get a little ziploc bag 576 00:26:00,480 --> 00:25:58,480 full of nuts and bolts that are left 577 00:26:03,630 --> 00:26:00,490 over you know you didn't put it back 578 00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:03,640 together exactly right yeah whoops where 579 00:26:07,230 --> 00:26:05,919 how did all these things fit in there 580 00:26:10,289 --> 00:26:07,240 well there are these are like the 581 00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:10,299 anomalous evidence that shows that the 582 00:26:14,220 --> 00:26:12,760 paradigm is not put together completely 583 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:14,230 right and eventually someone will come 584 00:26:18,180 --> 00:26:15,760 along and say you know if we put it 585 00:26:19,919 --> 00:26:18,190 together this way all those bolts would 586 00:26:21,539 --> 00:26:19,929 fall into place all that anomalous 587 00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:21,549 evidence would fall into place and this 588 00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:23,440 happens over and over I would argue in 589 00:26:27,690 --> 00:26:26,110 the world of paradigms right I'm the 590 00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:27,700 paradigm thing I mean that's that's all 591 00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:31,120 good and we got 250 shows but I wasn't 592 00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:32,470 that I wasn't I would just I would 593 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:34,390 disagree on a couple of fronts I mean 594 00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:35,370 number one 595 00:26:39,649 --> 00:26:36,990 the the the fact that there's the 596 00:26:42,499 --> 00:26:39,659 paradigm change and it changes one 597 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:42,509 funeral at a time is true in one sense 598 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:44,970 another sense there's an organized 599 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:47,970 systematic effort on the part of certain 600 00:26:50,539 --> 00:26:49,289 individuals and their different groups 601 00:26:52,669 --> 00:26:50,549 for different things whether it's 602 00:26:54,350 --> 00:26:52,679 medicine you know they don't want the 603 00:26:57,619 --> 00:26:54,360 paradigm to change those economic 604 00:26:59,749 --> 00:26:57,629 interests often involved in this so it's 605 00:27:02,299 --> 00:26:59,759 not like it's a fair game it's not like 606 00:27:05,889 --> 00:27:02,309 everyone's trying to do their best out 607 00:27:08,090 --> 00:27:05,899 there and it's just you know oh I'm so 608 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:08,100 my ego of my thing 609 00:27:13,580 --> 00:27:10,289 no it's organized controlled and 610 00:27:18,830 --> 00:27:13,590 systematic and regard to with regard to 611 00:27:20,690 --> 00:27:18,840 this latest thing I mean what amazes me 612 00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:20,700 and what has happened over and over 613 00:27:24,109 --> 00:27:22,110 again just on the recent episodes of 614 00:27:26,419 --> 00:27:24,119 skeptic oh I'll have guests on and 615 00:27:28,460 --> 00:27:26,429 they're fantastic yes and they've done 616 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:28,470 all this research but you got to do this 617 00:27:32,649 --> 00:27:30,690 silly double-talk kind of thing you got 618 00:27:35,149 --> 00:27:32,659 to say you know you've done great 619 00:27:38,029 --> 00:27:35,159 considering you've been in academia for 620 00:27:40,820 --> 00:27:38,039 30 years and you got a hold of some 621 00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:40,830 line I mean last guest I had on 622 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:43,289 gregory shushan you know same kind of 623 00:27:46,190 --> 00:27:44,730 thing super but you know he's got to be 624 00:27:48,649 --> 00:27:46,200 very careful he's got to talk in this 625 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:48,659 you know consider we have to consider 626 00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:50,970 the postmodernist that no experience 627 00:27:54,409 --> 00:27:52,320 matters like now we don't 628 00:27:57,230 --> 00:27:54,419 it's totally freaking absurd no one in 629 00:28:00,350 --> 00:27:57,240 the right mind would would wrap their 630 00:28:03,049 --> 00:28:00,360 head around these crazy ideas worths 631 00:28:05,570 --> 00:28:03,059 I talked to you before that in 632 00:28:07,489 --> 00:28:05,580 anthropology same kind of thing I have 633 00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:07,499 to carefully tread so carefully so I 634 00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:10,799 don't even like to it's it's a ok this 635 00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:13,590 forced we have this false equality when 636 00:28:20,509 --> 00:28:16,710 we say oh well you know we have to kind 637 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:20,519 of give equal time to the consideration 638 00:28:25,129 --> 00:28:23,490 of these nitwits who won't let go of 639 00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:25,139 their theory I don't want to go there 640 00:28:29,930 --> 00:28:27,809 okay I hear you 641 00:28:31,789 --> 00:28:29,940 frustration there and I'm not trying I'm 642 00:28:33,919 --> 00:28:31,799 not in academia so I'm not trying to not 643 00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:33,929 step on anyone's toes I'm quite critical 644 00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:37,200 but I would say there is there's room to 645 00:28:42,739 --> 00:28:40,110 say there is probably venality at work 646 00:28:44,299 --> 00:28:42,749 in some cases venal Denali what I was 647 00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:44,309 just describing and are people who 648 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:46,110 they're I don't want my job to be 649 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:48,610 threatened and then there 650 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:52,090 is also I would I would certainly grant 651 00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:54,250 you I'm certainly not shying away from 652 00:28:59,549 --> 00:28:56,289 the explanation of there's also 653 00:29:02,519 --> 00:28:59,559 conspiracy or conspiratorial interests 654 00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:02,529 at work power interests economic 655 00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:04,360 interest big-time power and economic 656 00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:05,769 interest don't all the way back to what 657 00:29:09,810 --> 00:29:07,840 we talked about with the Roman so I'm 658 00:29:12,090 --> 00:29:09,820 glad we touched on the Roman because 659 00:29:14,190 --> 00:29:12,100 that gave the that gave shape to the 660 00:29:17,250 --> 00:29:14,200 Western basically the Western Roman 661 00:29:20,009 --> 00:29:17,260 Empire gave shape to Western Europe with 662 00:29:21,330 --> 00:29:20,019 which was controlled by large land 663 00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:21,340 holding families calling themselves 664 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:24,340 Noble or aristocrat meaning I'm better 665 00:29:30,060 --> 00:29:27,850 and the church and those two were 666 00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:30,070 basically a revolving door back and 667 00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:31,510 forth between those two and they're 668 00:29:36,259 --> 00:29:33,460 controlled everything and that's really 669 00:29:41,310 --> 00:29:36,269 if you want to get into the left-right 670 00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:41,320 split came out of France and the 671 00:29:48,509 --> 00:29:44,799 Enlightenment attempts to try to hey 672 00:29:50,639 --> 00:29:48,519 let's try and improve on this feudal 673 00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:50,649 system let's get let's get rid of this 674 00:29:55,289 --> 00:29:53,470 collect rent for just basically sitting 675 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:55,299 back and hey I wonder wonder how much 676 00:29:59,759 --> 00:29:57,610 rent rolled in today from my lands I I 677 00:30:04,139 --> 00:29:59,769 need to go hunting I will see what the 678 00:30:07,740 --> 00:30:04,149 peasants send me today and and getting 679 00:30:09,899 --> 00:30:07,750 rid of that rent collecting system is 680 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:09,909 still a struggle that's going on today 681 00:30:15,149 --> 00:30:13,210 so hold on I mean back to what we're 682 00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:15,159 talking about here in terms of academia 683 00:30:20,159 --> 00:30:17,830 kind of throwing the holy water on your 684 00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:20,169 work well why that's never going to 685 00:30:24,779 --> 00:30:22,630 happen and and I'd go further I here I 686 00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:24,789 am I think I'm kind of defending your 687 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:26,529 position which I don't know how we got 688 00:30:31,860 --> 00:30:28,690 switched in roles here but like you said 689 00:30:34,649 --> 00:30:31,870 earlier I mean there is no there is no 690 00:30:38,669 --> 00:30:34,659 reasonable explanation on one hand if 691 00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:38,679 you go to a anthropology there's no one 692 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:40,870 who would say yeah those ancient 693 00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:43,090 Polynesians and the Mayans and the 694 00:30:49,950 --> 00:30:45,820 Romans and the Africans and the Norse 695 00:30:54,299 --> 00:30:49,960 they all created these myths this way no 696 00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,309 one says that right so there isn't some 697 00:30:57,510 --> 00:30:56,320 when you say oh well maybe you know 698 00:30:59,610 --> 00:30:57,520 let's give them the benefit of the doubt 699 00:31:01,710 --> 00:30:59,620 maybe it says no let's not give them the 700 00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:01,720 benefit yeah based on everything they've 701 00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:02,260 publish 702 00:31:06,539 --> 00:31:04,270 based on what they've said there's no 703 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:06,549 way to explain the universality of these 704 00:31:11,850 --> 00:31:08,770 star nests so the fact that they don't 705 00:31:14,580 --> 00:31:11,860 is we don't know how much of it is just 706 00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,590 ego people holding on to their jobs in 707 00:31:20,010 --> 00:31:17,200 their work or how much of it is the the 708 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:20,020 remnants of hey you know that's kind of 709 00:31:23,250 --> 00:31:21,520 we don't want to get into that esoteric 710 00:31:25,169 --> 00:31:23,260 wisdom because it opens up a big can of 711 00:31:26,940 --> 00:31:25,179 worms but we don't know which of those 712 00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:26,950 two it is but we know it's one of those 713 00:31:31,650 --> 00:31:29,500 two we know there isn't any reasonable 714 00:31:33,390 --> 00:31:31,660 explanation on their part they can't 715 00:31:36,299 --> 00:31:33,400 invent something new to fill that gap 716 00:31:38,370 --> 00:31:36,309 right right so this is great and we're 717 00:31:40,350 --> 00:31:38,380 not I don't think we're arguing against 718 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:40,360 each other I think we're building the 719 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:43,450 point up from from the friction of our 720 00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:45,010 conversation of our minds working on 721 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:46,480 this question so I would say number one 722 00:31:53,820 --> 00:31:50,410 my work certainly threatens the 723 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:53,830 literalist Christian paradigm because it 724 00:31:57,810 --> 00:31:55,570 shows that you know what I said about 725 00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:57,820 the characters and events of the myths 726 00:32:02,280 --> 00:31:59,530 of the world being based on the stars 727 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:02,290 can be shown with overwhelming amounts 728 00:32:08,340 --> 00:32:03,910 of evidence for the characters and 729 00:32:11,070 --> 00:32:08,350 events in the Bible which has been even 730 00:32:14,250 --> 00:32:11,080 up to a couple hundred years ago it was 731 00:32:16,740 --> 00:32:14,260 actually dominated academia to where you 732 00:32:20,159 --> 00:32:16,750 couldn't you couldn't argue against 733 00:32:22,350 --> 00:32:20,169 let's say the flood as as described in 734 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:22,360 the Bible or the age of the earth and so 735 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:24,730 there's a tremendous backlash that 736 00:32:30,210 --> 00:32:26,770 happened against that within academia 737 00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:30,220 but anyway this this threatens that but 738 00:32:33,630 --> 00:32:32,049 it also threatened so you said well 739 00:32:36,570 --> 00:32:33,640 there's bill there's nobody talking 740 00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:36,580 about all this because there's really no 741 00:32:40,530 --> 00:32:38,350 way to explain it within their current 742 00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:40,540 paradigm there are other ways to explain 743 00:32:43,409 --> 00:32:41,679 and we're gonna explore some of those 744 00:32:45,299 --> 00:32:43,419 you could explain it by wall it could be 745 00:32:46,740 --> 00:32:45,309 some kind of collective unconscious 746 00:32:49,530 --> 00:32:46,750 that's what Jung said or some kind of 747 00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:49,540 psychic connection or it could be that 748 00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:51,460 still that's totally off the table right 749 00:32:55,020 --> 00:32:53,710 that's off the table because it's we 750 00:32:57,630 --> 00:32:55,030 have a materialistic science that 751 00:32:59,100 --> 00:32:57,640 doesn't acknowledge that so except for 752 00:33:00,539 --> 00:32:59,110 the hammer you on this I'm gonna help me 753 00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,549 on this because you're going to go far 754 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:02,080 afield with all these different 755 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:04,450 explanations it's I get into this all 756 00:33:09,539 --> 00:33:07,330 the time with with other stuff inside 757 00:33:12,810 --> 00:33:09,549 the paradigm there's no way to explain 758 00:33:15,659 --> 00:33:12,820 this period why do we have to try and 759 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:15,669 let them back in the door well here's 760 00:33:19,170 --> 00:33:16,090 what 761 00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:19,180 let me go back to my engine being put 762 00:33:23,670 --> 00:33:21,910 back together wrong metaphor what I'm 763 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:23,680 throwing what I'm holding up is not just 764 00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:25,930 a little bag of nuts and bolts I'm 765 00:33:30,990 --> 00:33:28,150 holding up things like here's a 766 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:31,000 crankshaft how do you you forgot this 767 00:33:36,390 --> 00:33:33,970 and they're like yeah but my paradigm is 768 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:36,400 working and I'm like yeah you're firing 769 00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:39,490 on three cylinders out of eight and it 770 00:33:43,110 --> 00:33:41,440 sounds awful and it gets terrible gas 771 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:43,120 mileage and they're like don't mess with 772 00:33:47,550 --> 00:33:45,490 my engine I'm moving forward down the 773 00:33:50,190 --> 00:33:47,560 road and I'm like you're on three 774 00:33:53,010 --> 00:33:50,200 cylinders and gobekli tepe is another 775 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:53,020 giant like drive shaft or a flywheel 776 00:33:58,830 --> 00:33:54,730 that's been left left off gobekli tepe 777 00:34:01,400 --> 00:33:58,840 is six thousand years at least there are 778 00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:01,410 two earliest dynastic Egypt and it's 779 00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:05,110 beautifully precise stones aligned with 780 00:34:10,020 --> 00:34:07,180 celestial alignments by the way that 781 00:34:13,140 --> 00:34:10,030 throws a problem into the paradigm but 782 00:34:14,730 --> 00:34:13,150 what I'm discovering it doesn't throw 783 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:14,740 them into what I'm discovering at all 784 00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:17,170 because you could say well possibly the 785 00:34:23,210 --> 00:34:20,320 reason why this is dispersed all around 786 00:34:25,590 --> 00:34:23,220 the world is there's some very ancient 787 00:34:28,290 --> 00:34:25,600 civilizations or cultures that far 788 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:28,300 predate Mesopotamia ancient Mesopotamia 789 00:34:35,130 --> 00:34:32,050 and Sumer far predate Egypt far predate 790 00:34:37,050 --> 00:34:35,140 ancient India because all those cultures 791 00:34:38,340 --> 00:34:37,060 are already using this system they must 792 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:38,350 have come from something much more 793 00:34:42,270 --> 00:34:40,170 ancient nobody wants to consider 794 00:34:44,820 --> 00:34:42,280 something much more ancient that could 795 00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:44,830 also be advanced so they said no wait a 796 00:34:48,450 --> 00:34:46,510 minute that was only primitive humans or 797 00:34:50,580 --> 00:34:48,460 early humans they call them that'll mess 798 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:50,590 up all our textbooks that show we 799 00:34:55,890 --> 00:34:52,530 basically lived in caves or we were 800 00:34:57,990 --> 00:34:55,900 pastoral or we were hunter-gatherers and 801 00:34:59,310 --> 00:34:58,000 then poof Egypt and Mesopotamia just 802 00:35:01,800 --> 00:34:59,320 spring out of the ground out of nowhere 803 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:01,810 and they would say well dad you or your 804 00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:04,510 your obviously your you're exaggerating 805 00:35:09,420 --> 00:35:06,550 not a little bit but basically they say 806 00:35:11,850 --> 00:35:09,430 that yeah we just all of a sudden those 807 00:35:16,590 --> 00:35:11,860 cultures received what they had from 808 00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:16,600 somewhere probably far in the past and 809 00:35:19,710 --> 00:35:18,160 that would help explain what's going on 810 00:35:21,330 --> 00:35:19,720 around the world but that's also outside 811 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:21,340 the paradigm but the paradigm is going 812 00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:23,410 to have to change because gobekli tepe 813 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:27,250 kind of recently late 90s early 2000s 814 00:35:31,049 --> 00:35:29,650 through a giant crankshaft into it like 815 00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:31,059 hey how are you gonna explain this and 816 00:35:36,059 --> 00:35:33,609 they and so far the paradigm the 817 00:35:38,309 --> 00:35:36,069 existing paradigm cannot incorporate it 818 00:35:39,569 --> 00:35:38,319 and then just in paradigm has a problem 819 00:35:42,299 --> 00:35:39,579 with what I'm talking about too and 820 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:42,309 that's why it's almost like when 821 00:35:46,799 --> 00:35:44,490 somebody's paradigm is threatened 822 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:46,809 there's like blindness that actually 823 00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:49,119 sets in if your wife is cheating on you 824 00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:51,730 and it will take over your whole world 825 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:53,680 your gut is going to know it before your 826 00:35:58,769 --> 00:35:56,170 mind admits it you're gonna actually be 827 00:36:01,259 --> 00:35:58,779 blind to the evidence while your gut is 828 00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:01,269 like I know something's going on and 829 00:36:04,589 --> 00:36:03,430 your mind is like I'm not gonna look I'm 830 00:36:06,779 --> 00:36:04,599 not going to look over there I'm not 831 00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:06,789 going to look over there so and I would 832 00:36:10,529 --> 00:36:08,109 say that when you're talking about 833 00:36:12,089 --> 00:36:10,539 conspiracy that's going on in the United 834 00:36:14,069 --> 00:36:12,099 States right now there's all kinds of 835 00:36:14,670 --> 00:36:14,079 evidence that people don't even want to 836 00:36:17,849 --> 00:36:14,680 look at 837 00:36:21,299 --> 00:36:17,859 well let's always always been the case 838 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:21,309 gotta move on next story let's go to 839 00:36:29,549 --> 00:36:26,400 authentic self let's take self for 300 840 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:29,559 ok 300 that's very conservative but I'd 841 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:33,130 like the pig alright so what I would 842 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:37,210 argue people might say man I I think I 843 00:36:40,739 --> 00:36:39,130 understand what he's saying that all the 844 00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:40,749 myths are based on the stars but why 845 00:36:45,210 --> 00:36:42,460 would they do that and why would 846 00:36:47,249 --> 00:36:45,220 somebody want to get rid of that I mean 847 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:47,259 I don't usually emphasize the 848 00:36:54,089 --> 00:36:49,930 conspiratorial part too much but what I 849 00:36:55,859 --> 00:36:54,099 would argue is that the ancient wisdom 850 00:36:57,989 --> 00:36:55,869 that has given to the world that is 851 00:36:59,970 --> 00:36:57,999 given to virtually every culture on the 852 00:37:03,150 --> 00:36:59,980 planet like I said when I say I've 853 00:37:05,329 --> 00:37:03,160 written 5,000 pages are not bragging I'm 854 00:37:08,190 --> 00:37:05,339 saying there's so much evidence there 855 00:37:10,410 --> 00:37:08,200 that it's almost it's almost hard to 856 00:37:12,569 --> 00:37:10,420 write a short book about it my most 857 00:37:14,549 --> 00:37:12,579 recent book is 900 pages I don't you 858 00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:14,559 know it's not really the way you market 859 00:37:18,210 --> 00:37:16,480 a book but I wanted to show it all in 860 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:18,220 one place but when I say I've written 861 00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:20,410 five thousand pages the next sentence is 862 00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:22,420 and I've only barely scratched the 863 00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:24,700 surface only barely scratch the surface 864 00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:26,049 there's plenty of cultures I haven't 865 00:37:31,099 --> 00:37:28,299 even gotten to there's plenty of stuff 866 00:37:33,809 --> 00:37:31,109 in one culture that could make ten books 867 00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:33,819 even one book of the Bible I could write 868 00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:36,400 a series just on the stories in Genesis 869 00:37:41,729 --> 00:37:38,710 in the connection to the stars let alone 870 00:37:43,380 --> 00:37:41,739 the Mahabharat of ancient India which is 871 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:43,390 like seven times long 872 00:37:46,589 --> 00:37:44,890 in the Odyssey and the only had combined 873 00:37:48,059 --> 00:37:46,599 and it's all based on the Stars I would 874 00:37:50,609 --> 00:37:48,069 argue and I've shown some of those 875 00:37:52,130 --> 00:37:50,619 connections so when I say 5000 pages and 876 00:37:56,460 --> 00:37:52,140 it's only scratched the surface 877 00:38:01,289 --> 00:37:56,470 it's what I'm saying is every culture 878 00:38:03,380 --> 00:38:01,299 has this ancient wisdom what was it 879 00:38:08,250 --> 00:38:03,390 doing and why was it based on the Stars 880 00:38:09,779 --> 00:38:08,260 well at this point I've got some 881 00:38:13,710 --> 00:38:09,789 suggestions I'm not going to be dogmatic 882 00:38:16,319 --> 00:38:13,720 I can be dogmatic about the evidence and 883 00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:16,329 say look this constellation is clearly 884 00:38:20,910 --> 00:38:18,250 lining up with this and this and this 885 00:38:23,519 --> 00:38:20,920 what it means now we're getting into a 886 00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:23,529 little bit more of my interpretation but 887 00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:25,150 after studying it for 10 years pretty 888 00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:27,460 intensively I would argue that one of 889 00:38:37,049 --> 00:38:31,839 the things that's doing is conveying to 890 00:38:40,579 --> 00:38:37,059 us messages in an esoteric way like mr. 891 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:40,589 Miyagi taught Danielson and conveying 892 00:38:45,299 --> 00:38:43,210 profound messages to us like mr. Miyagi 893 00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:45,309 taught daniel-san with wax on wax off 894 00:38:49,769 --> 00:38:48,160 something that seemed totally different 895 00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:49,779 from what he was actually teaching in 896 00:38:54,539 --> 00:38:52,089 was karate mr. Miyagi wasn't trying to 897 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:54,549 hide karate from daniel-san he was 898 00:39:00,210 --> 00:38:56,410 trying to explain karate to daniel-san 899 00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:00,220 but it involved some things that were 900 00:39:06,990 --> 00:39:04,750 profound that were invisible so to speak 901 00:39:10,769 --> 00:39:07,000 hard to grasp and by the way daniel-san 902 00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:10,779 also came from he wasn't a very trusting 903 00:39:15,450 --> 00:39:13,119 individual because he'd been he he was a 904 00:39:18,180 --> 00:39:15,460 very doubting individual and he'd been 905 00:39:20,460 --> 00:39:18,190 burned a lot he was I might even argue 906 00:39:23,999 --> 00:39:20,470 traumatized and isolated from who he 907 00:39:26,069 --> 00:39:24,009 really was and but did the natural 908 00:39:29,339 --> 00:39:26,079 question that rises up this yeah who 909 00:39:32,099 --> 00:39:29,349 would do this yeah why would they do it 910 00:39:34,230 --> 00:39:32,109 in that way right right because because 911 00:39:37,470 --> 00:39:34,240 hold on because you talk about this I've 912 00:39:39,539 --> 00:39:37,480 heard so many interviews with you and we 913 00:39:41,130 --> 00:39:39,549 did an interview before and it seems 914 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:41,140 like we get up to this point and we talk 915 00:39:45,450 --> 00:39:43,170 about all this great stuff and 916 00:39:47,970 --> 00:39:45,460 reintegrating with yourself and the 917 00:39:50,490 --> 00:39:47,980 twins and isn't that this which 918 00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:50,500 fantastic stuff I'm all into that beside 919 00:39:57,329 --> 00:39:53,680 me and that's me man been a spiritual 920 00:40:00,089 --> 00:39:57,339 seeker but what you're saying 921 00:40:02,969 --> 00:40:00,099 begs these questions of who would do 922 00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:02,979 this in such a manner as this because if 923 00:40:09,630 --> 00:40:06,640 we accept your 5000 pages then there was 924 00:40:12,749 --> 00:40:09,640 a this is like a very human kind of 925 00:40:15,420 --> 00:40:12,759 teaching you know this allegory with 926 00:40:18,410 --> 00:40:15,430 look at the stars when you look up here 927 00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:18,420 remember this story and then this story 928 00:40:26,039 --> 00:40:22,089 you should apply it this way that's not 929 00:40:28,499 --> 00:40:26,049 a thunderbolt near-death experience 930 00:40:31,650 --> 00:40:28,509 voice of God kind of stuff that's your 931 00:40:35,370 --> 00:40:31,660 second grade teacher kind of stuff who 932 00:40:39,059 --> 00:40:35,380 did this and why did they feel that was 933 00:40:41,390 --> 00:40:39,069 important to teach in this way this kind 934 00:40:46,170 --> 00:40:41,400 of perennial wisdom yeah good 935 00:40:48,539 --> 00:40:46,180 obviously it was quote-unquote a kung-fu 936 00:40:50,459 --> 00:40:48,549 master but not a kung-fu master but it's 937 00:40:53,130 --> 00:40:50,469 like mr.

Gabor matƩ a 1023 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:15,779 dr. Peter Levine say look I dealt with 1024 00:44:21,559 --> 00:44:19,410 addicts in downtown East Vancouver for 1025 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:21,569 decades and I never met one single 1026 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:22,370 addict 1027 00:44:26,830 --> 00:44:24,890 whoo it wasn't traumatized as a child I 1028 00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:26,840 never met one single female who came 1029 00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:28,670 into my clinic who wasn't actually 1030 00:44:36,130 --> 00:44:31,040 sexually abused as a child 1031 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:36,140 so trauma the the the modern definition 1032 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:38,410 of psychological trauma is actually 1033 00:44:42,070 --> 00:44:40,610 separation from your authentic self and 1034 00:44:44,590 --> 00:44:42,080 maybe some people are tuning out and 1035 00:44:47,380 --> 00:44:44,600 saying or just a minute I wasn't 1036 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:47,390 traumatized the society we have that 1037 00:44:52,090 --> 00:44:49,850 came from that society that stamped out 1038 00:44:53,770 --> 00:44:52,100 all this ancient wisdom is a society 1039 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:53,780 that traumatizes you whether it's on 1040 00:44:59,470 --> 00:44:56,690 purpose conspiratorial or just the way 1041 00:45:03,670 --> 00:44:59,480 it got set up it traumatizes people and 1042 00:45:05,350 --> 00:45:03,680 even if you didn't experience I would 1043 00:45:07,090 --> 00:45:05,360 say almost everybody experiences trauma 1044 00:45:08,770 --> 00:45:07,100 but if the ancient myths are talking 1045 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:08,780 about reconnecting with your authentic 1046 00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:11,570 self then it must be even part of the 1047 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:13,910 human condition that we lose connection 1048 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:16,010 with our authentic self and I would say 1049 00:45:19,450 --> 00:45:18,050 that's not that be great if you learn 1050 00:45:21,550 --> 00:45:19,460 how to connect with your authentic self 1051 00:45:23,830 --> 00:45:21,560 as a second grader but I would say there 1052 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:23,840 are CEOs of corporations successful 1053 00:45:28,180 --> 00:45:26,450 billionaires who get paid you know 300 1054 00:45:30,340 --> 00:45:28,190 million dollars a year who are separated 1055 00:45:32,530 --> 00:45:30,350 from our authentic self so this isn't a 1056 00:45:34,930 --> 00:45:32,540 small problem this is a huge issue 1057 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:34,940 that's why people take yoga or get into 1058 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:36,770 meditation because they're trying to 1059 00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:38,330 find their authentic self and I would 1060 00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:40,730 say that myths are part of that ancient 1061 00:45:44,830 --> 00:45:43,280 system to point us on how to reconnect 1062 00:45:47,140 --> 00:45:44,840 where they're authentic self so it's 1063 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:47,150 like a huge issue and it'd be great if 1064 00:45:50,740 --> 00:45:49,490 you learned it by second grade but a big 1065 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:50,750 part of the problem is we're all still 1066 00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:52,490 struggling with that that's what I would 1067 00:46:00,070 --> 00:45:57,770 says how's that does that I mean like we 1068 00:46:02,140 --> 00:46:00,080 can get it alive I'm all about authentic 1069 00:46:05,650 --> 00:46:02,150 self okay I'm all about reconnecting 1070 00:46:07,690 --> 00:46:05,660 with my authentic self I'm all about the 1071 00:46:11,710 --> 00:46:07,700 non-dual path which is the authentic 1072 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:11,720 self in yoga right so it's like there is 1073 00:46:19,060 --> 00:46:13,970 the you and then there's the outside the 1074 00:46:23,110 --> 00:46:19,070 doer and you are not that but this is my 1075 00:46:25,660 --> 00:46:23,120 personal kind of 24/7 spiritual path 1076 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:25,670 kind of thing what what interests me and 1077 00:46:30,700 --> 00:46:28,610 is challenging to me as well is that we 1078 00:46:33,580 --> 00:46:30,710 have to connect that with the the world 1079 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:33,590 that we live in one thing I thought was 1080 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:36,290 interesting about the traumatization is 1081 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:40,610 we live in will you are part of your 1082 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:42,770 culture from the beginning and I mean 1083 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:44,570 you're gonna have to deconstruct that in 1084 00:46:49,210 --> 00:46:46,370 a way that we can understand it but you 1085 00:46:52,690 --> 00:46:49,220 were in the military you served and then 1086 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:52,700 you taught and there is an ultimate 1087 00:46:56,290 --> 00:46:54,530 truth to what I have up on the screen 1088 00:46:58,150 --> 00:46:56,300 you want me on that wall you need me on 1089 00:47:01,120 --> 00:46:58,160 that wall is real right 1090 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:01,130 so one that's real is that I live in my 1091 00:47:05,980 --> 00:47:04,010 phony baloney lifestyle because someone 1092 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:05,990 else has taken care of that messy 1093 00:47:11,260 --> 00:47:09,290 killing people around the world to 1094 00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:11,270 quote-unquote keep me safe and if I 1095 00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:13,520 don't like that and I don't like the way 1096 00:47:16,660 --> 00:47:15,200 they're doing that then I can do it a 1097 00:47:18,790 --> 00:47:16,670 different way but history isn't very 1098 00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:18,800 kind to people who aren't aggressively 1099 00:47:25,180 --> 00:47:22,310 protecting their right to exist moreover 1100 00:47:27,490 --> 00:47:25,190 when you talk about trauma forget that 1101 00:47:31,050 --> 00:47:27,500 for a second and take about the what 1102 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:31,060 I've heard people say we live by the 1103 00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:34,880 descendants of people who engaged in 1104 00:47:38,710 --> 00:47:37,910 hand-to-hand combat and murder on a mass 1105 00:47:43,060 --> 00:47:38,720 scale 1106 00:47:45,490 --> 00:47:43,070 they were the winners right so whether 1107 00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:45,500 it's the Vikings that came in there and 1108 00:47:52,570 --> 00:47:49,310 just mass killed everybody or Genghis 1109 00:47:55,180 --> 00:47:52,580 Khan who you know every or the Romans 1110 00:47:57,610 --> 00:47:55,190 you know behead that at ten heads and 1111 00:47:59,230 --> 00:47:57,620 leave one a lot I mean we are the 1112 00:48:02,020 --> 00:47:59,240 descendants of these mass murders so 1113 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:02,030 there's there's enough trauma there so 1114 00:48:07,300 --> 00:48:04,970 I'm just not comfortable with quickly 1115 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:07,310 putting all the pieces together because 1116 00:48:13,270 --> 00:48:10,850 of the Gemini constellation it has some 1117 00:48:17,010 --> 00:48:13,280 esoteric wisdom that we all should have 1118 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:17,020 gotten on from the beginning okay 1119 00:48:21,610 --> 00:48:19,850 interesting lots of lots of stuff to 1120 00:48:25,660 --> 00:48:21,620 dive into so let me talk about you 1121 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:25,670 talked you talked about we're all in 1122 00:48:31,540 --> 00:48:28,130 society and therefore you know we all 1123 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:31,550 get a bunch of stuff laid on us whether 1124 00:48:36,010 --> 00:48:33,770 you went into that particular part of 1125 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:36,020 society like the military yeah I 1126 00:48:43,660 --> 00:48:39,290 graduated from West Point and they use 1127 00:48:45,970 --> 00:48:43,670 some they use some stress based stress 1128 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:45,980 based training during the beast barracks 1129 00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:48,170 and fleet year and 1130 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:49,730 I could we could spend the rest of the 1131 00:48:53,770 --> 00:48:51,410 time talking about funny quote unquote 1132 00:48:55,390 --> 00:48:53,780 funny stories of stuff that they do to 1133 00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:55,400 you when they're screaming in your face 1134 00:48:59,650 --> 00:48:57,890 I graduated from Ranger School I 1135 00:49:01,780 --> 00:48:59,660 graduated from Airborne School I 1136 00:49:04,809 --> 00:49:01,790 graduated from the 82nd airborne as 1137 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:04,819 jumpmaster school that's a particular 1138 00:49:12,359 --> 00:49:07,970 part of society that lays a grid on your 1139 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:12,369 brain even more heavily maybe that other 1140 00:49:17,289 --> 00:49:14,690 societal pursuits that people could 1141 00:49:20,859 --> 00:49:17,299 engage in but the connection with 1142 00:49:22,420 --> 00:49:20,869 society is part of what separates us 1143 00:49:24,970 --> 00:49:22,430 from an authentic self and our goal all 1144 00:49:26,859 --> 00:49:24,980 the way back to the very earliest record 1145 00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:26,869 very earliest human record that we have 1146 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:30,710 is the Gilgamesh well the Mesopotamian 1147 00:49:34,660 --> 00:49:32,210 clay tablets that were found in the 1148 00:49:36,819 --> 00:49:34,670 library of Ashurbanipal contained that 1149 00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:36,829 Gilgamesh Gilgamesh epic and in there 1150 00:49:44,170 --> 00:49:40,730 you've got Enkidu and Gilgamesh who are 1151 00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:44,180 almost twins but Enkidu is this wild man 1152 00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:46,910 he lives out in nature among the animals 1153 00:49:51,309 --> 00:49:49,359 he was naked he's covered with hair and 1154 00:49:54,970 --> 00:49:51,319 Gilgamesh is the king and he's 1155 00:49:56,319 --> 00:49:54,980 two-thirds divine and Enkidu lives among 1156 00:49:58,599 --> 00:49:56,329 the wild animals and he's connected with 1157 00:50:02,650 --> 00:49:58,609 the wild animals until he gets entangled 1158 00:50:05,589 --> 00:50:02,660 with society and the first part is 1159 00:50:08,140 --> 00:50:05,599 through sexual intercourse with the 1160 00:50:09,730 --> 00:50:08,150 temple prostitutes on hoth you see the 1161 00:50:11,109 --> 00:50:09,740 king is approached and said hey there's 1162 00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:11,119 a wild man out in the woods and don't 1163 00:50:16,569 --> 00:50:13,609 Ganesh says no problem just take this 1164 00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:16,579 beautiful temple prostitutes on pot out 1165 00:50:20,049 --> 00:50:18,710 there once she sleeps with them the 1166 00:50:21,490 --> 00:50:20,059 animals won't want anything to do with 1167 00:50:23,589 --> 00:50:21,500 him in fact he'll get tangled into 1168 00:50:25,450 --> 00:50:23,599 society and he'll he'll become one of us 1169 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:25,460 which is exactly what happens and that 1170 00:50:31,900 --> 00:50:27,770 myth that most ancient tablet that we 1171 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:31,910 have shows Enkidu after he sleeps with 1172 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:34,490 her he finds the animals run away from 1173 00:50:39,069 --> 00:50:36,290 him he no longer has strength in his 1174 00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:39,079 legs to keep up with them but like in 1175 00:50:47,319 --> 00:50:42,710 the Rocky movie Nick says women ruined 1176 00:50:49,980 --> 00:50:47,329 legs rock back so that's what happens to 1177 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:49,990 Enkidu he's like hmm I'm not the same 1178 00:50:56,770 --> 00:50:54,290 man I was before but now I'm getting a 1179 00:50:58,809 --> 00:50:56,780 haircut like Samson I'm starting to eat 1180 00:51:00,370 --> 00:50:58,819 bread and wine hmm where I've heard that 1181 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:00,380 in other myths before that's the first 1182 00:51:03,569 --> 00:51:01,450 thing that is easy 1183 00:51:05,250 --> 00:51:03,579 and some people say well it's bread and 1184 00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:05,260 beer doesn't matter it's the same 1185 00:51:10,310 --> 00:51:07,030 constellations this is all related to 1186 00:51:13,140 --> 00:51:10,320 constellations but what it's showing is 1187 00:51:16,339 --> 00:51:13,150 once you're connected with society you 1188 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:16,349 can't go back to the state of nature you 1189 00:51:22,140 --> 00:51:19,930 enkidu can't go back to being - you 1190 00:51:23,910 --> 00:51:22,150 can't undo it's like they said after 1191 00:51:25,980 --> 00:51:23,920 we've invented the atomic laws not 1192 00:51:28,140 --> 00:51:25,990 connecting with ourself connecting with 1193 00:51:30,060 --> 00:51:28,150 our authentic self is going back is the 1194 00:51:33,150 --> 00:51:30,070 journey back so it's actually a journey 1195 00:51:35,730 --> 00:51:33,160 yes but it's not back to Enkidu doesn't 1196 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:35,740 end up where he was before he meets up 1197 00:51:40,380 --> 00:51:37,810 with Gilgamesh and actually I would 1198 00:51:44,099 --> 00:51:40,390 argue that Gilgamesh and Enkidu are not 1199 00:51:46,290 --> 00:51:44,109 two people castor and pollux one twin is 1200 00:51:49,859 --> 00:51:46,300 divine one twin is mortal they're not 1201 00:51:51,780 --> 00:51:49,869 two people it's like in I've been lately 1202 00:51:54,510 --> 00:51:51,790 using the Lord of the Rings Gandalf the 1203 00:51:56,490 --> 00:51:54,520 Grey before he follows with the Balrog 1204 00:51:59,099 --> 00:51:56,500 and Gandalf the light they're not two 1205 00:52:03,000 --> 00:51:59,109 people but he's different afterwards and 1206 00:52:05,430 --> 00:52:03,010 Gilgamesh and Enkidu they become so 1207 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:05,440 close that they're as close as a husband 1208 00:52:09,410 --> 00:52:07,450 and a wife as what it says and modern 1209 00:52:12,660 --> 00:52:09,420 academia says oh good we can talk about 1210 00:52:14,190 --> 00:52:12,670 homoerotic ancient literature I would 1211 00:52:16,740 --> 00:52:14,200 say it's not homoerotic ancient 1212 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:16,750 literature I'm not not saying you can't 1213 00:52:23,069 --> 00:52:19,930 see that in in literature but it's 1214 00:52:24,750 --> 00:52:23,079 actually - two sides of one person 1215 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:24,760 that's why the Bible says there's a 1216 00:52:28,589 --> 00:52:27,010 friend that sticketh closer than a 1217 00:52:29,790 --> 00:52:28,599 brother it's closer than a brother 1218 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:29,800 because it's in you 1219 00:52:34,620 --> 00:52:32,050 you have to refined your authentic self 1220 00:52:38,099 --> 00:52:34,630 in your mind you showed some pictures of 1221 00:52:42,089 --> 00:52:38,109 like Yogananda and meditation your mind 1222 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:42,099 is not you it's part of you it's a tool 1223 00:52:47,370 --> 00:52:44,050 but it can run away with you 1224 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:47,380 it can trick you your mind has to be put 1225 00:52:53,069 --> 00:52:50,650 in its place like my dog you know thinks 1226 00:52:54,839 --> 00:52:53,079 it owns the house and when a male man 1227 00:52:56,069 --> 00:52:54,849 comes up with a package my dog thinks he 1228 00:52:57,870 --> 00:52:56,079 has to defend the house and I have to 1229 00:52:59,640 --> 00:52:57,880 stay hold on you don't own the whole 1230 00:53:01,680 --> 00:52:59,650 house go sit over there that's what your 1231 00:53:04,980 --> 00:53:01,690 mind does your mind is this defense 1232 00:53:07,620 --> 00:53:04,990 mechanism that you developed because you 1233 00:53:10,010 --> 00:53:07,630 live in society and that defense 1234 00:53:12,660 --> 00:53:10,020 mechanism right but you know I could 1235 00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:12,670 thousands and thousands of people and 1236 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:14,730 teachers who've spent 1237 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:17,010 millions and millions of hours trying to 1238 00:53:22,580 --> 00:53:19,890 instruct people about these very things 1239 00:53:25,609 --> 00:53:22,590 you know this is the non-dual path this 1240 00:53:28,099 --> 00:53:25,619 is the the monkey mind sometimes they 1241 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:28,109 call it in India now the problem with 1242 00:53:33,830 --> 00:53:30,570 that is you know we are gonna get really 1243 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:33,840 particular because I do how to pronounce 1244 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:37,890 you are on the path and I am on my own 1245 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:39,930 path we can all only take this path 1246 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:43,050 ourselves so I wouldn't agree with the 1247 00:53:48,710 --> 00:53:46,290 language I don't try in a boss my mind 1248 00:53:50,870 --> 00:53:48,720 around or wrestle with my mind or try 1249 00:53:54,340 --> 00:53:50,880 and control my mind I don't think that 1250 00:53:58,099 --> 00:53:54,350 works but that's a particular 1251 00:54:00,890 --> 00:53:58,109 understanding I have of my spiritual 1252 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:00,900 path and how I do it what I'm trying to 1253 00:54:07,250 --> 00:54:04,290 really get to is trying to understand 1254 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:07,260 that in relation to what you're talking 1255 00:54:13,300 --> 00:54:10,530 about in the star myth so you know David 1256 00:54:17,660 --> 00:54:13,310 you don't have to convince me that 1257 00:54:20,060 --> 00:54:17,670 number one the star myth hypothesis is 1258 00:54:23,780 --> 00:54:20,070 real you don't have to convince me that 1259 00:54:26,090 --> 00:54:23,790 it's hidden in plain sight from academic 1260 00:54:28,490 --> 00:54:26,100 stick-in-the-muds who this totally blows 1261 00:54:32,890 --> 00:54:28,500 their world away you don't have to 1262 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:32,900 convince me that there is an perennial 1263 00:54:40,730 --> 00:54:36,450 esoteric wisdom that talks about 1264 00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:40,740 returning to our authentic self what you 1265 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:44,640 do have to convince me about is late I 1266 00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:46,650 got a great I got a great figure let me 1267 00:54:52,940 --> 00:54:48,510 fill it up no I've already did that a 1268 00:54:54,590 --> 00:54:52,950 lot did it a male Ian's no it's like I 1269 00:54:59,120 --> 00:54:54,600 got off on the screen I'm not saying 1270 00:55:00,950 --> 00:54:59,130 it's aliens but it's aliens yep you went 1271 00:55:02,210 --> 00:55:00,960 ahead to a new topic before you let me 1272 00:55:04,670 --> 00:55:02,220 address in this stuff you said at the 1273 00:55:06,230 --> 00:55:04,680 start of this where you said I don't 1274 00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:06,240 believe you have to boss it around or 1275 00:55:09,890 --> 00:55:08,310 that's not how it works for my mind when 1276 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:09,900 did I ever say you have to boss around 1277 00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:12,930 okay I said my dog I put him calmly in 1278 00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:14,310 his place that's like when you're 1279 00:55:20,030 --> 00:55:17,310 meditating look those spiritual teachers 1280 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:20,040 that you're referring to they use my 1281 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:22,410 teacher never taught meditation okay all 1282 00:55:25,790 --> 00:55:24,330 my teachers never taught meditation I 1283 00:55:26,450 --> 00:55:25,800 think man is you know what because you 1284 00:55:28,190 --> 00:55:26,460 know what 1285 00:55:30,020 --> 00:55:28,200 like so we could get into this whole 1286 00:55:31,670 --> 00:55:30,030 thing like I heard you say I'm yoga I've 1287 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:31,680 done yoga for 35 years right 1288 00:55:36,260 --> 00:55:34,050 so I understand I go sit in ice bath six 1289 00:55:38,060 --> 00:55:36,270 days a week at 35 degrees temperature to 1290 00:55:40,220 --> 00:55:38,070 remind me that I'm not my mind you know 1291 00:55:42,530 --> 00:55:40,230 you have all sorts

00:55:46,349 do but I don't accept that as really 1295 00:55:50,810 --> 00:55:49,440 being part of my path if I was if I was 1296 00:55:52,820 --> 00:55:50,820 better I wouldn't have to sit in that 1297 00:55:54,589 --> 00:55:52,830 frickin ice bath to remind myself but 1298 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:54,599 I'm kind of stupid so I have to go there 1299 00:55:58,910 --> 00:55:57,210 and go oh okay

00:56:04,800 discussion is like this you know we 1303 00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:06,050 could have a heart-to-heart three-hour 1304 00:56:11,060 --> 00:56:08,940 personal discussion about how we have 1305 00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:11,070 our own conception of our mind and how 1306 00:56:16,670 --> 00:56:14,310 it works so please I okay but before we 1307 00:56:18,950 --> 00:56:16,680 go to aliens I just want to say look and 1308 00:56:21,430 --> 00:56:18,960 I'm not prescribing any one path I'm 1309 00:56:25,550 --> 00:56:21,440 saying in the ancient world had 1310 00:56:27,140 --> 00:56:25,560 meditation it had drumming it had breath 1311 00:56:30,380 --> 00:56:27,150 control which I'm sure you do when you 1312 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:30,390 get into the ice bath it had martial 1313 00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:33,930 arts and it had nits you don't have to 1314 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:36,510 use you can become you can rediscover 1315 00:56:39,950 --> 00:56:38,490 your authentic self by many different 1316 00:56:41,660 --> 00:56:39,960 paths and you don't have to use the 1317 00:56:45,050 --> 00:56:41,670 myths either there's probably plenty of 1318 00:56:47,210 --> 00:56:45,060 masters of men and women who have 1319 00:56:48,650 --> 00:56:47,220 recovered their authentic self and never 1320 00:56:51,430 --> 00:56:48,660 used the myth but I'll tell you that 1321 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:51,440 those teachers their yoga teachers like 1322 00:56:59,950 --> 00:56:55,530 the Ashtanga story of Patanjali 1323 00:57:02,660 --> 00:56:59,960 talks about him having serpent coils 1324 00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:02,670 coming down and having coils of a 1325 00:57:06,950 --> 00:57:05,250 serpent serpent like it's mythical it's 1326 00:57:09,950 --> 00:57:06,960 actually related to constellations we 1327 00:57:12,140 --> 00:57:09,960 could go into that myth but the the the 1328 00:57:14,420 --> 00:57:12,150 myths don't tell you to yell at your or 1329 00:57:15,770 --> 00:57:14,430 order your monkey mind around because 1330 00:57:17,990 --> 00:57:15,780 you're absolutely right it'll just get 1331 00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:18,000 stronger if you do if I yell at my dog 1332 00:57:23,570 --> 00:57:21,030 barked at me even worse but it shows 1333 00:57:27,349 --> 00:57:23,580 this in pictures like in the 1334 00:57:30,410 --> 00:57:27,359 bhagavad-gita where Arjun and his divine 1335 00:57:33,020 --> 00:57:30,420 charioteer Krishna are getting ready to 1336 00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:33,030 go into his battle of kuruksetra Arjun 1337 00:57:39,289 --> 00:57:35,040 is seized by doubt and wants to withdraw 1338 00:57:41,779 --> 00:57:39,299 just like doubting Thomas and Jesus or 1339 00:57:44,389 --> 00:57:41,789 like in the story of Eros and Psyche 1340 00:57:46,819 --> 00:57:44,399 psyche has all these doubts and she 1341 00:57:52,159 --> 00:57:46,829 loses her connection with arrows in this 1342 00:57:54,259 --> 00:57:52,169 ancient Greek myth and in Thomas Jesus 1343 00:57:55,849 --> 00:57:54,269 doesn't restore Thomas by yelling at him 1344 00:57:58,069 --> 00:57:55,859 and saying what a crappy disciple you 1345 00:58:01,309 --> 00:57:58,079 are you're the worst one you are so full 1346 00:58:03,199 --> 00:58:01,319 of doubt and and Krishna doesn't know 1347 00:58:05,479 --> 00:58:03,209 her origin from his doubts in the 1348 00:58:07,219 --> 00:58:05,489 Bhagavad Gita by saying you're fired 1349 00:58:08,689 --> 00:58:07,229 Arjun you're not even gonna be in this 1350 00:58:11,449 --> 00:58:08,699 battle I'll handle it 1351 00:58:13,999 --> 00:58:11,459 he restores him the way he restores them 1352 00:58:16,009 --> 00:58:14,009 helps us to understand the relationship 1353 00:58:18,709 --> 00:58:16,019 the proper relationship between our 1354 00:58:22,370 --> 00:58:18,719 higher self or our authentic self and 1355 00:58:23,929 --> 00:58:22,380 our egoic mind our egoic mind is full of 1356 00:58:26,749 --> 00:58:23,939 doubts because it's racing ahead into 1357 00:58:28,299 --> 00:58:26,759 the future or into the past and going 1358 00:58:31,009 --> 00:58:28,309 all over the place you know our 1359 00:58:33,949 --> 00:58:31,019 authentic self is just who we really are 1360 00:58:37,249 --> 00:58:33,959 it's our essence it's a your now mind 1361 00:58:39,249 --> 00:58:37,259 right it's the and so what I'm saying is 1362 00:58:42,409 --> 00:58:39,259 the myths show that in pictures and 1363 00:58:47,089 --> 00:58:42,419 extremely helpful show that in pictures 1364 00:58:50,209 --> 00:58:47,099 I don't disagree with some people some 1365 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:50,219 people relate to miss I relate to this 1366 00:58:55,609 --> 00:58:53,130 in very simple logical terms you are not 1367 00:58:57,649 --> 00:58:55,619 what you observe anything you observe 1368 00:59:00,859 --> 00:58:57,659 that can't be you you must be something 1369 00:59:02,659 --> 00:59:00,869 else Oh light bulb goes off there's 1370 00:59:06,620 --> 00:59:02,669 another part of me that I didn't realize 1371 00:59:09,859 --> 00:59:06,630 non-dual apart so hey miss our great 1372 00:59:12,979 --> 00:59:09,869 stories are great you know that 1373 00:59:15,139 --> 00:59:12,989 throughout all this I mean the link that 1374 00:59:20,049 --> 00:59:15,149 I think you're making that is important 1375 00:59:23,870 --> 00:59:20,059 here is that you've done this exhaustive 1376 00:59:26,209 --> 00:59:23,880 important chronicling of these star 1377 00:59:31,159 --> 00:59:26,219 myths and how they're connected to all 1378 00:59:34,839 --> 00:59:31,169 these ancient civilizations it is not at 1379 00:59:38,359 --> 00:59:34,849 all surprising to me that those myths 1380 00:59:41,899 --> 00:59:38,369 correspond to spiritual teachers past 1381 00:59:43,909 --> 00:59:41,909 present and current you know present I 1382 00:59:45,379 --> 00:59:43,919 guess its current current teachers who 1383 00:59:46,939 --> 00:59:45,389 are saying the same thing from their 1384 00:59:48,829 --> 00:59:46,949 personal experience they're not saying 1385 00:59:52,189 --> 00:59:48,839 oh this was passed on to me they're 1386 00:59:52,580 --> 00:59:52,199 saying no I sat here I meditated I came 1387 00:59:55,570 --> 00:59:52,590 to the 1388 00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:55,580 realization and the realization matches 1389 01:00:04,460 --> 00:59:58,770 completely with what you're saying the 1390 01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:04,470 myths say so to me again we're maybe I'm 1391 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:07,680 taking too much of it Tony but my point 1392 01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:10,050 is that that's the point that interests 1393 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:12,000 me you don't have to teach me about 1394 01:00:18,020 --> 01:00:14,730 authentic self integration kind of thing 1395 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:18,030 I mean like I say I'm 24/7 tell me what 1396 01:00:25,460 --> 01:00:20,130 why where that's coming from 1397 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:25,470 well who and why these star myths that 1398 01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:28,170 we can't date back that far why they 1399 01:00:31,700 --> 01:00:29,760 exist and you maybe you felt like you 1400 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:31,710 handled that when you said you sit in 1401 01:00:36,470 --> 01:00:33,570 place where you say there was some 1402 01:00:38,750 --> 01:00:36,480 ancient civilization and they wanted to 1403 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:38,760 do that I would then even ask see but 1404 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:40,290 then that generates to me an interesting 1405 01:00:44,810 --> 01:00:43,170 question why would they why would they 1406 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:44,820 do that because at the same time you 1407 01:00:49,220 --> 01:00:47,370 know if you really look at the some of 1408 01:00:52,580 --> 01:00:49,230 the evidence that's come up about Mars 1409 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:52,590 right it looks like from a number of 1410 01:00:57,110 --> 01:00:55,170 different points of reference here one 1411 01:00:57,890 --> 01:00:57,120 being the remote viewing of Joe 1412 01:00:59,810 --> 01:00:57,900 mcmoneagle 1413 01:01:03,500 --> 01:00:59,820 who I think is like one of the top 1414 01:01:06,020 --> 01:01:03,510 remote viewers in the world you know 1415 01:01:07,970 --> 01:01:06,030 secret spy number zero zero zero and 1416 01:01:10,330 --> 01:01:07,980 then I just interviewed Courtney brown 1417 01:01:13,220 --> 01:01:10,340 who's currently a remote viewer both 1418 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:13,230 same thing independently remote view 1419 01:01:18,140 --> 01:01:15,810 Mars ancient civilization maybe our 1420 01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:18,150 ancestors and then I got John 1421 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:19,890 Brandenburg where I was interviewed and 1422 01:01:25,790 --> 01:01:21,930 he says hey I take it from a physicists 1423 01:01:27,830 --> 01:01:25,800 standpoint ancient traces hundreds of 1424 01:01:31,910 --> 01:01:27,840 millions of years ago of a nuclear 1425 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:31,920 explosion on Mars that Lee has all the 1426 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:35,850 signatures of a bomb so I just throw 1427 01:01:41,530 --> 01:01:38,490 that out because it establishes another 1428 01:01:44,930 --> 01:01:41,540 data point there is the potential that 1429 01:01:46,940 --> 01:01:44,940 there are some ancient civilizations 1430 01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:46,950 that are off planet there's one that's 1431 01:01:51,740 --> 01:01:49,950 close by and and that that comes up over 1432 01:01:53,510 --> 01:01:51,750 and over again I had a slide up there of 1433 01:01:55,460 --> 01:01:53,520 the Dogon right so you go talk to the 1434 01:01:58,220 --> 01:01:55,470 Dogon but you talk to all sorts of star 1435 01:01:59,810 --> 01:01:58,230 uh indigenous people and I just had an 1436 01:02:01,640 --> 01:01:59,820 expert on and we're all saying the same 1437 01:02:03,650 --> 01:02:01,650 thing star people star people star 1438 01:02:05,990 --> 01:02:03,660 people they came and they passed on this 1439 01:02:08,810 --> 01:02:06,000 wisdom so if you want to say the 1440 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:08,820 you stand apart from that and say no I 1441 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:10,770 don't go there I don't think that's 1442 01:02:15,650 --> 01:02:12,810 necessary I think it could have been an 1443 01:02:17,750 --> 01:02:15,660 ancient civilization that was Atlantean 1444 01:02:19,970 --> 01:02:17,760 and was buried under the rocks for 1445 01:02:21,380 --> 01:02:19,980 30,000 years fine I just want to know 1446 01:02:24,050 --> 01:02:21,390 what you think about that because to me 1447 01:02:27,650 --> 01:02:24,060 it seems that all the evidence points 1448 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:27,660 towards alien visitation alien genetic 1449 01:02:32,450 --> 01:02:29,850 engineering alien passing along 1450 01:02:37,010 --> 01:02:32,460 intelligence but then that that raises a 1451 01:02:39,380 --> 01:02:37,020 bunch of questions - all right so once 1452 01:02:40,790 --> 01:02:39,390 again I do want to get to the thing that 1453 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:40,800 you ended with but the thing that you 1454 01:02:44,090 --> 01:02:42,330 said at the beginning at the very 1455 01:02:45,890 --> 01:02:44,100 beginning of this question that your 1456 01:02:48,860 --> 01:02:45,900 framing you said I got it 1457 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:48,870 I'm 24/7 so you don't have to convince 1458 01:02:53,450 --> 01:02:51,690 me about connection with the authentic 1459 01:02:55,130 --> 01:02:53,460 self but I would say this ties into the 1460 01:03:00,350 --> 01:02:55,140 whole story and we'll get to the aliens 1461 01:03:03,050 --> 01:03:00,360 in a second it ties in because we are 1462 01:03:07,430 --> 01:03:03,060 not living in a society I would say 1463 01:03:10,390 --> 01:03:07,440 these myths were given to uplift men and 1464 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:10,400 women prevent oppression prevent tyranny 1465 01:03:14,150 --> 01:03:12,570 there are people who would argue with me 1466 01:03:16,430 --> 01:03:14,160 about that and say no these myths are 1467 01:03:19,250 --> 01:03:16,440 meant to bind you into religion but hold 1468 01:03:21,140 --> 01:03:19,260 on so okay yeah good I think they're 1469 01:03:23,570 --> 01:03:21,150 there to uplift people it's great that 1470 01:03:25,190 --> 01:03:23,580 you're 24/7 but there also has to be a 1471 01:03:27,470 --> 01:03:25,200 societal component we want to uplift 1472 01:03:29,170 --> 01:03:27,480 others as well or we should at least be 1473 01:03:33,230 --> 01:03:29,180 saying wait a minute 1474 01:03:35,780 --> 01:03:33,240 after the 101 and at the off-ramp 1475 01:03:39,250 --> 01:03:35,790 I see tent after tent after tent of 1476 01:03:43,550 --> 01:03:39,260 people who are homeless what's going on 1477 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:43,560 the there's our society is not we're not 1478 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:46,770 all 24/7 reconnecting with our authentic 1479 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:50,370 self our society is actually engineered 1480 01:03:53,990 --> 01:03:52,290 to disconnect you from Erath in excel so 1481 01:03:56,420 --> 01:03:54,000 you're looking for solutions outside of 1482 01:03:58,160 --> 01:03:56,430 yourself by consuming this or buying 1483 01:04:00,920 --> 01:03:58,170 that or maybe the next person I date 1484 01:04:03,140 --> 01:04:00,930 will will solve my problems and it's 1485 01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:03,150 outside of you and we're endlessly 1486 01:04:07,310 --> 01:04:06,030 rushing after a solution that's outside 1487 01:04:08,330 --> 01:04:07,320 even a lot of people are going to point 1488 01:04:09,410 --> 01:04:08,340 to you and say what are you talking 1489 01:04:12,730 --> 01:04:09,420 about you are part of this 1490 01:04:14,930 --> 01:04:12,740 military-industrial complex that has us 1491 01:04:16,790 --> 01:04:14,940 dominating the world and living our 1492 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:16,800 phony baloney lifestyle by basically 1493 01:04:20,370 --> 01:04:18,250 oppressing everyone else 1494 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:20,380 world and that's what we've done now you 1495 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:22,330 want to stand apart from that I mean I 1496 01:04:27,599 --> 01:04:25,450 don't know I'm certainly not in the 1497 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:27,609 military right now and I wasn't one of 1498 01:04:31,650 --> 01:04:29,890 the guys at the top I tell you that I'm 1499 01:04:33,660 --> 01:04:31,660 a part of it I'm a part of it I was 1500 01:04:35,609 --> 01:04:33,670 never in the military but I don't want 1501 01:04:37,470 --> 01:04:35,619 to give up everything you know by virtue 1502 01:04:41,609 --> 01:04:37,480 of the fact that we don't want to give 1503 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:41,619 up what we have I just that's a whole 1504 01:04:45,300 --> 01:04:43,090 other discussion and when you start 1505 01:04:48,300 --> 01:04:45,310 talking about societal changes there are 1506 01:04:50,970 --> 01:04:48,310 a group of people who always stood aside 1507 01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:50,980 and said you guys can go play whatever 1508 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:54,400 game you want with this world I am NOT I 1509 01:04:58,050 --> 01:04:56,530 am in this world but I'm not of that 1510 01:04:59,490 --> 01:04:58,060 world that's the only thing that makes 1511 01:05:01,260 --> 01:04:59,500 sense for me because as soon as you want 1512 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:01,270 to start going handed out money to 1513 01:05:04,230 --> 01:05:02,770 people in tents then you got a bunch of 1514 01:05:06,030 --> 01:05:04,240 other people I mean I don't know how you 1515 01:05:08,070 --> 01:05:06,040 solve that from if you want to go there 1516 01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:08,080 let's go there but it doesn't make a lot 1517 01:05:11,390 --> 01:05:09,310 of sense to be over there but let's 1518 01:05:14,010 --> 01:05:11,400 let's go back to the military point 1519 01:05:16,170 --> 01:05:14,020 there's a proper use for the military 1520 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:16,180 there's a proper use for strength 1521 01:05:22,859 --> 01:05:20,530 violence or force and swords and spears 1522 01:05:26,370 --> 01:05:22,869 and now we have rifles and other things 1523 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:26,380 and that's to protect people protect the 1524 01:05:32,089 --> 01:05:29,770 weak if I am protecting other people if 1525 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:32,099 someone is about to be raped or murdered 1526 01:05:37,260 --> 01:05:35,170 and I come in and stop them that's a 1527 01:05:38,730 --> 01:05:37,270 proper use of force if I'm using it to 1528 01:05:40,770 --> 01:05:38,740 go around and rape and murder people 1529 01:05:42,300 --> 01:05:40,780 that's an improper use of force and I 1530 01:05:43,349 --> 01:05:42,310 would draw a distinction between those 1531 01:05:46,290 --> 01:05:43,359 two things and when I was in the 1532 01:05:48,570 --> 01:05:46,300 military I thought that the US Army was 1533 01:05:50,700 --> 01:05:48,580 for defending democracy peace and 1534 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:50,710 freedom by the way I have not yet 1535 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:52,690 learned all I've learned about the myths 1536 01:05:57,270 --> 01:05:54,730 in fact I hadn't even started down this 1537 01:05:58,290 --> 01:05:57,280 path when I got out of the Army and I'll 1538 01:05:59,970 --> 01:05:58,300 tell you that what I've learned about 1539 01:06:02,970 --> 01:05:59,980 the myths have changed a lot of the 1540 01:06:05,310 --> 01:06:02,980 things I believe I was a literalist 1541 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:05,320 Christian at that time I'm no longer a 1542 01:06:09,599 --> 01:06:08,170 littlest Christian I no longer believe 1543 01:06:10,980 --> 01:06:09,609 that the military is being used for 1544 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:10,990 defending peace and freedom and 1545 01:06:14,579 --> 01:06:12,730 democracy around the world it shouldn't 1546 01:06:17,099 --> 01:06:14,589 go there we can go there but the 1547 01:06:18,630 --> 01:06:17,109 military is not being used to protect 1548 01:06:20,940 --> 01:06:18,640 this country it's being used to take 1549 01:06:24,420 --> 01:06:20,950 over other countries and take their 1550 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:24,430 resources Afghanistan is not going to 1551 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:25,930 invade us and yet we've been there for 1552 01:06:31,859 --> 01:06:29,650 18 years but what I'm saying is I don't 1553 01:06:35,069 --> 01:06:31,869 disagree I don't deny that there 1554 01:06:37,739 --> 01:06:35,079 a proper role for forced and militaries 1555 01:06:40,019 --> 01:06:37,749 my favorite of the ancient myths is 1556 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:40,029 probably the Odyssey Odysseus was a 1557 01:06:46,109 --> 01:06:42,970 badass fighter right but Odysseus 1558 01:06:48,359 --> 01:06:46,119 we see in that we see in that epic we 1559 01:06:50,039 --> 01:06:48,369 actually see him to his mind we see his 1560 01:06:52,319 --> 01:06:50,049 mind running away from them at certain 1561 01:06:56,549 --> 01:06:52,329 points where he starts to panic and then 1562 01:06:58,739 --> 01:06:56,559 Athena shows up and inspires him and he 1563 01:07:01,920 --> 01:06:58,749 stops panicking and gets back to the 1564 01:07:03,839 --> 01:07:01,930 moment and actually survives and in time 1565 01:07:06,390 --> 01:07:03,849 after time in that book he would have 1566 01:07:09,690 --> 01:07:06,400 perished when he met Circe he would have 1567 01:07:10,950 --> 01:07:09,700 perished when he met still and Charybdis 1568 01:07:12,329 --> 01:07:10,960 he would have perished when he went down 1569 01:07:14,759 --> 01:07:12,339 into the underworld all these different 1570 01:07:17,759 --> 01:07:14,769 times but he had help from Hermes or 1571 01:07:19,670 --> 01:07:17,769 help from Athena what is that so I'm 1572 01:07:22,079 --> 01:07:19,680 saying if you want to be a better 1573 01:07:25,559 --> 01:07:22,089 basketball player at the top of your 1574 01:07:28,259 --> 01:07:25,569 game or a better you know any human 1575 01:07:32,579 --> 01:07:28,269 endeavor martial arts or military arts 1576 01:07:35,609 --> 01:07:32,589 you you will do better if your higher 1577 01:07:39,089 --> 01:07:35,619 mind or your authentic mind and your 1578 01:07:41,059 --> 01:07:39,099 egoic mind that is able to go into the 1579 01:07:43,349 --> 01:07:41,069 future in the past are in harmony and 1580 01:07:45,479 --> 01:07:43,359 you will you will be able to realize 1581 01:07:47,099 --> 01:07:45,489 your potential better now what do you do 1582 01:07:49,410 --> 01:07:47,109 with that potential hopefully you do 1583 01:07:52,140 --> 01:07:49,420 things like defending the weak and 1584 01:07:53,609 --> 01:07:52,150 helpless rather than oppressing that 1585 01:07:55,109 --> 01:07:53,619 weak and helpless so I think there's 1586 01:07:56,729 --> 01:07:55,119 there's an individual component and 1587 01:07:58,739 --> 01:07:56,739 there's a societal component so I didn't 1588 01:08:01,019 --> 01:07:58,749 want to I didn't want to leave that 1589 01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:01,029 behind when you were saying hey this is 1590 01:08:06,420 --> 01:08:02,650 all great and we're in agreement that we 1591 01:08:07,979 --> 01:08:06,430 should be working on you know ice baths 1592 01:08:09,420 --> 01:08:07,989 or whatever it is that helps you get 1593 01:08:10,979 --> 01:08:09,430 into touch with your authentic self I 1594 01:08:12,930 --> 01:08:10,989 totally agree with that but I also don't 1595 01:08:14,849 --> 01:08:12,940 think that we should as you said drop 1596 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:14,859 out from society completely and said 1597 01:08:18,180 --> 01:08:16,210 well it's great I'm reaching 1598 01:08:22,649 --> 01:08:18,190 enlightenment to heck with the guys who 1599 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:22,659 are I'm saying I can't do that I'm but I 1600 01:08:27,899 --> 01:08:25,210 am saying you can

don't have to get in to figure out what 1604 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:34,620 would Jesus do just become like Jesus 1605 01:08:38,879 --> 01:08:37,449 maybe we'll do like Jesus you don't need 1606 01:08:40,289 --> 01:08:38,889 to figure it out you don't need to 1607 01:08:42,629 --> 01:08:40,299 figure out how to solve the homeless 1608 01:08:43,860 --> 01:08:42,639 problem or how to solve geopolitical 1609 01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:43,870 problems you don't need to do any of 1610 01:08:47,700 --> 01:08:45,520 that just be a better 1611 01:08:49,289 --> 01:08:47,710 are you and then you will act 1612 01:08:52,470 --> 01:08:49,299 accordingly and however you act you know 1613 01:08:54,690 --> 01:08:52,480 whether you're like you know my good 1614 01:08:56,670 --> 01:08:54,700 friend Rick our trip but if guess what 1615 01:08:58,620 --> 01:08:56,680 who doesn't show with five hundred shows 1616 01:09:01,170 --> 01:08:58,630 with spiritual teachers but can't wrap 1617 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:01,180 his head around the climate change scam 1618 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:02,890 and how that's just designed to 1619 01:09:07,590 --> 01:09:05,410 eliminate rights and take rights away so 1620 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:07,600 if you're a lot an alarmist like he is 1621 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:09,370 or if you're like I am and take more 1622 01:09:12,990 --> 01:09:11,170 kind of hey I don't know why they're 1623 01:09:14,700 --> 01:09:13,000 playing this game I don't know why they 1624 01:09:16,860 --> 01:09:14,710 did nine eleven I don't know why they 1625 01:09:19,050 --> 01:09:16,870

01:09:33,660 --> 01:09:29,080 you on the military thing our best hope 1632 01:09:36,750 --> 01:09:33,670 is the US Navy commercials a force for 1633 01:09:39,300 --> 01:09:36,760 good that's our best hope is to hold to 1634 01:09:41,579 --> 01:09:39,310 that ideal even if it's not true even if 1635 01:09:43,769 --> 01:09:41,589 we know it's we have to say you 1636 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:43,779 know what we had some guys back a couple 1637 01:09:46,410 --> 01:09:45,130 hundred years ago that founded this 1638 01:09:49,140 --> 01:09:46,420 country they had some pretty damn good 1639 01:09:51,269 --> 01:09:49,150 ideas and they were like everyone just 1640 01:09:54,180 --> 01:09:51,279 has their own rights and then they'll do 1641 01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:54,190 the right stuff and you know so I'm just 1642 01:10:01,170 --> 01:09:57,730 saying I don't I don't buy the leap too 1643 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:01,180 you know trust me on all because this 1644 01:10:05,400 -->

mentioned it when you talk about 1653 01:10:30,180 --> 01:10:27,250 Josaphat well the word SIOP right you've 1654 01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:30,190 used that word SIOP and our cults were 1655 01:10:36,090 --> 01:10:33,510 the coats that suddenly popped up a 1656 01:10:37,830 --> 01:10:36,100 PSYOP meaning were they more than just 1657 01:10:41,010 --> 01:10:37,840 an organic cult that just popped up it 1658 01:10:43,020 --> 01:10:41,020 was it possible that there were agencies 1659 01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:43,030 that were giving some of those cult 1660 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:45,970 leaders cover like telling the police 1661 01:10:50,630 --> 01:10:47,530 well don't arrest that guy out in the 1662 01:10:52,890 --> 01:10:50,640 desert who's firing off machine guns you 1663 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:52,900 know and the police are like why not 1664 01:10:55,590 --> 01:10:54,250 he's firing off machine guns 1665 01:10:57,810 --> 01:10:55,600 well I don't know but someone higher up 1666 01:10:59,069 --> 01:10:57,820 said don't touch him and then it turns 1667 01:11:01,770 --> 01:10:59,079 out it was Charles Manson 1668 01:11:03,419 --> 01:11:01,780 and the family hmm what's up with that 1669 01:11:06,450 --> 01:11:03,429 so the Colts actually is an interesting 1670 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:06,460 point because what I told you about the 1671 01:11:12,180 --> 01:11:09,690 higher self in the the psyche when eros 1672 01:11:14,490 --> 01:11:12,190 restores psyche he doesn't destroy 1673 01:11:17,810 --> 01:11:14,500 psyche the Colts are like you need to 1674 01:11:20,180 --> 01:11:17,820 get rid of your your mind you mean 1675 01:11:23,790 --> 01:11:20,190 they're there they're a subtle 1676 01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:23,800 distortion or twisting of what the 1677 01:11:27,569 --> 01:11:26,110 ancient myths are trying to do instead 1678 01:11:31,709 --> 01:11:27,579 of uplifting you they're actually trying 1679 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:31,719 to turn you into a slave but and you 1680 01:11:35,959 --> 01:11:33,730 mentioned Kennedy and all these things 1681 01:11:38,879 --> 01:11:35,969 I'm not sure if you were saying that 1682 01:11:41,569 --> 01:11:38,889 just if you get in touch maybe you were 1683 01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:41,579 posing this as an argument that others 1684 01:11:48,180 --> 01:11:45,489 do that others do that you think is a 1685 01:11:50,580 --> 01:11:48,190 false argument well if I get in touch 1686 01:11:53,069 --> 01:11:50,590 with myself that's the best I can do and 1687 01:11:55,649 --> 01:11:53,079 society will take care of itself and I 1688 01:11:57,839 --> 01:11:55,659 would say there's a societal component 1689 01:12:00,510 --> 01:11:57,849 to it that we as citizens men and women 1690 01:12:02,700 --> 01:12:00,520 can say to our government yes look I 1691 01:12:04,229 --> 01:12:02,710 swore an oath to support and defend the 1692 01:12:06,540 --> 01:12:04,239 Constitution in the United States 1693 01:12:07,830 --> 01:12:06,550 I'm totally dialed into the Constitution 1694 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:07,840 in the United States but I'll tell you 1695 01:12:11,790 --> 01:12:10,210 that things that are going on like the 1696 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:11,800 invasion of your privacy when your 1697 01:12:17,850 --> 01:12:13,570 iPhone is listening to you or Facebook 1698 01:12:19,530 --> 01:12:17,860 is writing down your conversations is a 1699 01:12:20,850 --> 01:12:19,540 violation of the Constitution in the 1700 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:20,860 United States and Facebook as a 1701 01:12:26,220 --> 01:12:23,770 corporation gets certain privileges from 1702 01:12:27,810 --> 01:12:26,230 the government such as limited liability 1703 01:12:29,310 --> 01:12:27,820 such as a corporate charter and the 1704 01:12:31,939 --> 01:12:29,320 people of the United States can say you 1705 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:31,949 know what I don't really like 1706 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:34,690 corporations taking all my data and 1707 01:12:38,490 --> 01:12:36,250 listening to every single thing I say I 1708 01:12:40,350 --> 01:12:38,500 don't think that's right Congress 1709 01:12:41,910 --> 01:12:40,360 representatives in Congress please pull 1710 01:12:43,350 --> 01:12:41,920 their corporate charter or take away 1711 01:12:45,359 --> 01:12:43,360 their limited liability because that's 1712 01:12:48,270 --> 01:12:45,369 extended by society and when you have a 1713 01:12:50,939 --> 01:12:48,280 when you have a predator like Jeffrey 1714 01:12:55,260 --> 01:12:50,949 Epstein allowed out on the streets for 1715 01:12:57,330 --> 01:12:55,270 decades and preying upon the weakest you 1716 01:13:00,290 --> 01:12:57,340 know young girls who are under the age 1717 01:13:02,970 --> 01:13:00,300 of consent so there's no there's no 1718 01:13:05,729 --> 01:13:02,980 hiring of a prostitute that's what he 1719 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:05,739 was quote-unquote convicted for in 2008 1720 01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:08,050 there's a little you can't have a 1721 01:13:11,850 --> 01:13:10,210 prostitute who's 14 15 or 16 because 1722 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:11,860 they're under the age of consent in 1723 01:13:17,890 --> 01:13:12,810 Florida where this 1724 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:17,900 happen so citizens can say hey I 1725 01:13:22,940 --> 01:13:20,610 meditate or i dunk myself in an ice bath 1726 01:13:26,140 --> 01:13:22,950 and I get in touch with my authentic 1727 01:13:28,910 --> 01:13:26,150 self but at the same time I demand that 1728 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:28,920 the social contract is the reason we 1729 01:13:32,270 --> 01:13:30,930 have police and military and allow them 1730 01:13:33,950 --> 01:13:32,280 to have machine guns when I'm not 1731 01:13:36,230 --> 01:13:33,960 allowed to have an m60 in my house 1732 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:36,240 machine gun they get to have it why 1733 01:13:39,590 --> 01:13:37,770 because of the social contract and part 1734 01:13:42,580 --> 01:13:39,600 of that social contract is keeping 1735 01:13:45,170 --> 01:13:42,590 predators off the street and if I see 1736 01:13:49,790 --> 01:13:45,180 evidence that there's like predators 1737 01:13:51,650 --> 01:13:49,800 being protected and allowed then I think 1738 01:13:53,570 --> 01:13:51,660 as citizens you also have to get 1739 01:13:55,130 --> 01:13:53,580 involved in that and demand just a 1740 01:13:57,260 --> 01:13:55,140 minute I demand that my 14 year old 1741 01:14:00,770 --> 01:13:57,270 daughter be protected from pedophiles is 1742 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:00,780 that too much to ask no it's not I don't 1743 01:14:06,650 --> 01:14:03,210 know all I'm saying it though I guess my 1744 01:14:08,930 --> 01:14:06,660 point was and I mean this is the kind of 1745 01:14:10,460 --> 01:14:08,940 world here that we're talking about I 1746 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:10,470 mean everything in the world is coming 1747 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:13,050 up in this conversation and that's why I 1748 01:14:17,750 --> 01:14:14,850 keep trying to bring it back to star 1749 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:17,760 myths because that's your thing 1750 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:22,410 because like I can't tell people how to 1751 01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:24,930 process all the stuff that you just 1752 01:14:29,210 --> 01:14:28,110 processed because I sound like just 1753 01:14:32,090 --> 01:14:29,220 another idiot 1754 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:32,100 old man with a bunch of opinions that 1755 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:33,890 are different from anyone else's opinion 1756 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:36,930 what I can relate to about what you're 1757 01:14:42,350 --> 01:14:39,930 saying is anyone who is on the journey 1758 01:14:44,450 --> 01:14:42,360 as I'm the spiritual journey is I'm 1759 01:14:47,390 --> 01:14:44,460 connecting with their authentic self 1760 01:14:50,630 --> 01:14:47,400 will organically come to the right 1761 01:14:54,410 --> 01:14:50,640 positions but I have to tell you I know 1762 01:14:56,480 --> 01:14:54,420 people who are on that path and they 1763 01:14:58,040 --> 01:14:56,490 come to some pretty weird conclusions 1764 01:15:00,760 --> 01:14:58,050 that are very different than the 1765 01:15:02,690 --> 01:15:00,770 conclusions I did and all I can say is I 1766 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:02,700 brought on to you 1767 01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:05,130 my man because you know what that 1768 01:15:09,170 --> 01:15:06,450 journey I don't know where it's taking 1769 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:09,180 you but that person grew up they are 1770 01:15:13,730 --> 01:15:11,370 clearly you're on that journey so I 1771 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:13,740 don't know this gets into the nature of 1772 01:15:20,900 --> 01:15:17,370 evil question which i think is related 1773 01:15:22,430 --> 01:15:20,910 to these questions that we've been 1774 01:15:25,430 --> 01:15:22,440 talking about I mean that's a question 1775 01:15:26,430 --> 01:15:25,440 that is interesting to me I won't say 1776 01:15:29,130 --> 01:15:26,440 it's important because 1777 01:15:32,490 --> 01:15:29,140 I have some pretty fixed understandings 1778 01:15:34,740 --> 01:15:32,500 of that but who and why in terms of the 1779 01:15:37,860 --> 01:15:34,750 MIT ancient myths the who and why are 1780 01:15:40,530 --> 01:15:37,870 the big questions to me and then what is 1781 01:15:43,979 --> 01:15:40,540 the relation between that force that 1782 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:43,989 energy that knowledge and the evil 1783 01:15:46,979 --> 01:15:46,090 because we do see evil so you know 1784 01:15:49,380 --> 01:15:46,989 Jeffrey Epstein 1785 01:15:53,070 --> 01:15:49,390 yada-yada we talked about him forever I 1786 01:15:56,220 --> 01:15:53,080 had an FBI agent on and who infiltrated 1787 01:15:58,740 --> 01:15:56,230 NAMBLA because interesting because 1788 01:16:01,110 --> 01:15:58,750 Jeffrey Epstein is too easy for people 1789 01:16:02,580 --> 01:16:01,120 to kind of relate to and yeah having 1790 01:16:04,410 --> 01:16:02,590 Trump ran around and I picked up some 1791 01:16:06,689 --> 01:16:04,420 young girls maybe they're too young now 1792 01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:06,699 go to NAMBLA go to NAMBLA where they 1793 01:16:13,740 --> 01:16:10,330 trade in four year old boys three year 1794 01:16:16,470 --> 01:16:13,750 old girls and then when they're done 1795 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:16,480 they trade them off and then they make 1796 01:16:23,700 --> 01:16:20,530 films and then they ultimately kill in a 1797 01:16:26,130 --> 01:16:23,710 lot of cases so the reason I even go 1798 01:16:27,810 --> 01:16:26,140 there is not to kind of shock people or 1799 01:16:31,229 --> 01:16:27,820 anything like that is to say if you have 1800 01:16:32,850 --> 01:16:31,239 any doubts about the existence of each 1801 01:16:35,550 --> 01:16:32,860 evil I won't even go to the nature of 1802 01:16:39,150 --> 01:16:35,560 you but the existence of evil then that 1803 01:16:41,750 --> 01:16:39,160 kind of brings you oh okay I get it that 1804 01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:41,760 is of a different ilk that isn't just 1805 01:16:48,810 --> 01:16:44,410 something that we can easily understand 1806 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:48,820 that is a force that we do see over and 1807 01:16:55,050 --> 01:16:50,650 over again so what is the relationship 1808 01:16:57,689 --> 01:16:55,060 between that force and a perennial 1809 01:16:59,459 --> 01:16:57,699 wisdom of the of the myths that's the 1810 01:17:01,680 --> 01:16:59,469 kind of stuff I'm interested in yeah 1811 01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:01,690 absolutely and the reason I raised the 1812 01:17:07,860 --> 01:17:04,810 Jeffrey Epstein issue is to say was to 1813 01:17:09,330 --> 01:17:07,870 point out that you can't there's nobody 1814 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:09,340 who could argue that if I just get in 1815 01:17:13,020 --> 01:17:10,930 touch with my Higher Self whether I do 1816 01:17:17,220 --> 01:17:13,030 it through meditation drumming ice baths 1817 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:17,230 yoga or whatever method then predators 1818 01:17:22,290 --> 01:17:19,930 will will be kept off the street what 1819 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:22,300 I'm saying is you've got to have a 1820 01:17:26,310 --> 01:17:23,770 social component as well as a 1821 01:17:27,959 --> 01:17:26,320 self-improvement component because if I 1822 01:17:30,620 --> 01:17:27,969 just worry about self-improving 1823 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:30,630 and think that that's gonna somehow stop 1824 01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:33,610 horrendous systemic dramatization of 1825 01:17:39,990 --> 01:17:36,090 children by NAMBLA or Jeffrey Epstein 1826 01:17:40,319 --> 01:17:40,000 then you're wrong so it gets tricky some 1827 01:17:43,010 --> 01:17:40,329 people 1828 01:17:45,410 --> 01:17:43,020 even tell you that in the grander 1829 01:17:47,819 --> 01:17:45,420 spiritual scheme of things including 1830 01:17:49,770 --> 01:17:47,829 reincarnation and souls that there is 1831 01:17:51,859 --> 01:17:49,780 some contract and this is all playing 1832 01:17:54,750 --> 01:17:51,869 out in a way that we don't completely 1833 01:17:57,780 --> 01:17:54,760 understand so that the victims and the 1834 01:17:59,970 --> 01:17:57,790 perpetrators are actors changing roles 1835 01:18:05,100 --> 01:17:59,980 now I don't get into that 1836 01:18:06,780 --> 01:18:05,110 I don't endorse that belief but I think 1837 01:18:09,419 --> 01:18:06,790 there's an element of that that is 1838 01:18:12,390 --> 01:18:09,429 somewhat undeniable even when we look at 1839 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:12,400 our own history and how things emerge 1840 01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:14,290 for us and stuff like that so the only 1841 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:16,449 thing I'd say with that is you know 1842 01:18:22,589 --> 01:18:19,690 again I'm treading lightly when someone 1843 01:18:24,990 --> 01:18:22,599 says you know grab the pitchforks and 1844 01:18:27,689 --> 01:18:25,000 the torches because God is on our side 1845 01:18:30,930 --> 01:18:27,699 on this one it's more like you know 1846 01:18:33,030 --> 01:18:30,940 everyone's on a journey and I wouldn't 1847 01:18:36,209 --> 01:18:33,040 want to be Jeffrey Epstein and facing 1848 01:18:38,250 --> 01:18:36,219 his near-death experience or his after 1849 01:18:42,899 --> 01:18:38,260 death experience and his life review 1850 01:18:45,839 --> 01:18:42,909 where he feels the emotions and the the 1851 01:18:47,700 --> 01:18:45,849 the feelings that he's inflicted on 1852 01:18:49,979 --> 01:18:47,710 other people I wouldn't want to be that 1853 01:18:53,819 --> 01:18:49,989 guy right now but beyond that in terms 1854 01:18:56,580 --> 01:18:53,829 of you know how I balance all the the 1855 01:18:58,439 --> 01:18:56,590 massive scales I don't know how to do it 1856 01:19:01,680 --> 01:18:58,449 yeah so I'm glad you brought that up 1857 01:19:05,100 --> 01:19:01,690 because if like you said there God is on 1858 01:19:08,580 --> 01:19:05,110 our side if if you're I would argue that 1859 01:19:13,709 --> 01:19:08,590 if you're using your beliefs to justify 1860 01:19:16,470 --> 01:19:13,719 the violation of other people's rights 1861 01:19:19,530 --> 01:19:16,480 then that's a form of mind control if 1862 01:19:21,660 --> 01:19:19,540 you're saying well we can overlook the 1863 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:21,670 abuse and traumatization of those young 1864 01:19:28,319 --> 01:19:24,690 children sexual abuse physical abuse 1865 01:19:32,459 --> 01:19:28,329 because of this passage in this 1866 01:19:35,669 --> 01:19:32,469 scripture or that belief then you're 1867 01:19:38,189 --> 01:19:35,679 twisting it because the the ancient 1868 01:19:40,319 --> 01:19:38,199 myths show that their gods work their 1869 01:19:42,060 --> 01:19:40,329 will out through men and women their men 1870 01:19:44,549 --> 01:19:42,070 and women are precious every single 1871 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:44,559 person is so if you're using it to 1872 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:46,090 violate the rights of someone else 1873 01:19:50,490 --> 01:19:48,250 you're turning it upside down and that's 1874 01:19:52,350 --> 01:19:50,500 what I think actually happened with the 1875 01:19:54,110 --> 01:19:52,360 imposition of literalist Christianity 1876 01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:54,120 and wiping out the ancient 1877 01:19:59,460 --> 01:19:57,010 ancient beliefs in Europe starting with 1878 01:20:01,050 --> 01:19:59,470 the Greek and Roman gods but as you said 1879 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:01,060 proceeding through the Druids and 1880 01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:02,650 working their way up to the Norse myths 1881 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:04,930 and then starting to jump the ocean and 1882 01:20:08,820 --> 01:20:07,330 saying oh we better stamp out all the 1883 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:08,830 beliefs of the Maya we better stand 1884 01:20:13,050 --> 01:20:10,330 about the beliefs of the North American 1885 01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:13,060 Native American nations we better stamp 1886 01:20:17,970 --> 01:20:14,890 out what's going on in the Pacific 1887 01:20:22,110 --> 01:20:17,980 Islands this has been stamping out in 1888 01:20:24,350 --> 01:20:22,120 order to excuse and justify well see I 1889 01:20:27,300 --> 01:20:24,360 would say that the gifts of the earth 1890 01:20:28,740 --> 01:20:27,310 like oil that's under the earth 1891 01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:28,750 the ancient Greeks would say well that's 1892 01:20:33,540 --> 01:20:32,170 a gift of pluton or Hades everything 1893 01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:33,550 under the earth all the riches of the 1894 01:20:38,220 --> 01:20:36,610 earth are given to that nation those 1895 01:20:40,020 --> 01:20:38,230 people that were allowed to be born 1896 01:20:42,300 --> 01:20:40,030 there by the gods and if I'm an oil 1897 01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:42,310 company I say I want to drill in your 1898 01:20:47,550 --> 01:20:44,290 country and the people of that country 1899 01:20:50,310 --> 01:20:47,560 say great that'll be 30 percent tax to 1900 01:20:53,370 --> 01:20:50,320 us for the riches of the gods that 1901 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:53,380 you're taking out and the oil company 1902 01:20:58,170 --> 01:20:55,810 says hey politicians could you take care 1903 01:20:59,910 --> 01:20:58,180 of these pesky guys in that country who 1904 01:21:02,010 --> 01:20:59,920 are saying we have to pay a 30 percent 1905 01:21:03,630 --> 01:21:02,020 tax to them oh no problem 1906 01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:03,640 we'll get our guy installed in there 1907 01:21:07,500 --> 01:21:05,590 he'll collaborate with us we'll get that 1908 01:21:09,060 --> 01:21:07,510 tax down to two percent and if there's 1909 01:21:10,650 --> 01:21:09,070 any pesky peasants in the way of where 1910 01:21:12,750 --> 01:21:10,660 you want to drill we've got ways of 1911 01:21:15,300 --> 01:21:12,760 moving them out of the way - so so I 1912 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:15,310 think this is actually all related the 1913 01:21:20,670 --> 01:21:17,730 the to the 1914 01:21:22,830 --> 01:21:20,680 all these issues but if you're excusing 1915 01:21:25,260 --> 01:21:22,840 look we've created a society that 1916 01:21:28,830 --> 01:21:25,270 traumatizes people and you just told me 1917 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:28,840 about a group that systematically 1918 01:21:32,730 --> 01:21:30,610 trumpet Isis people or we have this 1919 01:21:35,370 --> 01:21:32,740 Epstein character who is systematically 1920 01:21:37,170 --> 01:21:35,380 traumatizing people I'm saying you've 1921 01:21:39,270 --> 01:21:37,180 got less resistance from the people if 1922 01:21:42,420 --> 01:21:39,280 they're all traumatized you've got less 1923 01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:42,430 ability for the Constitution to work and 1924 01:21:48,390 --> 01:21:45,490 for self-rule to stop predators if 1925 01:21:50,070 --> 01:21:48,400 everybody's traumatized so I'm not 1926 01:21:53,490 --> 01:21:50,080 denying far from it that there's 1927 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:53,500 conspiracy type stuff involved in what 1928 01:21:58,050 --> 01:21:54,250 I'm talking about 1929 01:22:01,710 --> 01:21:58,060 the traumatization of the world by 1930 01:22:04,020 --> 01:22:01,720 literalness christianity is a topic they 1931 01:22:07,470 --> 01:22:04,030 basically slaughtered all the Native 1932 01:22:09,090 --> 01:22:07,480 Americans they justified slavery instead 1933 01:22:11,130 --> 01:22:09,100 and the david we're talking about the 1934 01:22:12,540 --> 01:22:11,140 whole world now so we're gonna get over 1935 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:12,550 to china and we're going to talk about 1936 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:15,010 the chai calm craziness right which is 1937 01:22:19,410 --> 01:22:17,770 worse in a lot of respects i don't want 1938 01:22:21,540 --> 01:22:19,420 to go to China right now I don't want to 1939 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:21,550 be I don't want chai calm to run things 1940 01:22:26,490 --> 01:22:23,770 they don't have a little literalist 1941 01:22:28,500 --> 01:22:26,500 Christian interpretation they jumped on 1942 01:22:32,670 --> 01:22:28,510 the other bandwagon and are doing the 1943 01:22:36,990 --> 01:22:32,680 atheistic communist you know I 1944 01:22:39,270 --> 01:22:37,000 mean so to me that I don't I don't get 1945 01:22:42,930 --> 01:22:39,280 the connection that you're that you're 1946 01:22:44,220 --> 01:22:42,940 making there that's without getting back 1947 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:44,230 to that without getting back to the 1948 01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:47,050 question that I'm asking is okay 1949 01:22:50,850 --> 01:22:48,910 who are they why are they here and 1950 01:22:52,740 --> 01:22:50,860 what's their connection whatever okay so 1951 01:22:54,180 --> 01:22:52,750 let me go to the nothing to go to the 1952 01:22:56,729 --> 01:22:54,190 aliens you know you put up the 1953 01:22:58,979 --> 01:22:56,739 interesting picture of Giorgio tsoukalos 1954 01:23:01,110 --> 01:22:58,989 there and I've met him that contact in 1955 01:23:03,810 --> 01:23:01,120 the desert and the point on the alien 1956 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:03,820 thing is there's a ton of evidence that 1957 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:05,650 points in that direction well we want to 1958 01:23:10,050 --> 01:23:07,690 go there you don't have to go there but 1959 01:23:13,229 --> 01:23:10,060 you can't deny that there's just a ton 1960 01:23:16,590 --> 01:23:13,239 of evidence you know part of your thing 1961 01:23:18,420 --> 01:23:16,600 is that and this is like another minor 1962 01:23:21,060 --> 01:23:18,430 point but it's one that I'd like to hear 1963 01:23:23,670 --> 01:23:21,070 you can't comment on we all understand 1964 01:23:26,310 --> 01:23:23,680 that people are in Stonehenge and 1965 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:26,320 they're looking up at the stars we did 1966 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:29,050 that but what it's a little detailed 1967 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:32,050 point it's a David Matheson point they 1968 01:23:35,780 --> 01:23:33,610 weren't just looking at the Stars 1969 01:23:38,550 --> 01:23:35,790 they were looking at the constellations 1970 01:23:41,130 --> 01:23:38,560 right so constellations don't mean 1971 01:23:44,220 --> 01:23:41,140 anything but there's no independent 1972 01:23:46,530 --> 01:23:44,230 meaning of the constellations why do 1973 01:23:50,250 --> 01:23:46,540 they build these megalithic structures 1974 01:23:52,470 --> 01:23:50,260 to look at constellations well because 1975 01:23:56,940 --> 01:23:52,480 the constellations as you're telling us 1976 01:23:58,710 --> 01:23:56,950 have meaning oh that that's that kind of 1977 01:24:00,570 --> 01:23:58,720 changes the whole thing right because 1978 01:24:03,180 --> 01:24:00,580 when you hear the kind of standard tripe 1979 01:24:06,510 --> 01:24:03,190 about Stonehenge it's like well that's 1980 01:24:08,580 --> 01:24:06,520 your lunar eclipse and all that goes out 1981 01:24:10,290 --> 01:24:08,590 the window as soon as you say that they 1982 01:24:13,020 --> 01:24:10,300 were aligning with constellations same 1983 01:24:14,820 --> 01:24:13,030 thing with the Giza pyramids right Orion 1984 01:24:17,820 --> 01:24:14,830 I didn't know my god they aligned up 1985 01:24:20,070 --> 01:24:17,830 Orion by that and the other image I have 1986 01:24:20,780 --> 01:24:20,080 up here is the Dogon right so you go to 1987 01:24:23,450 --> 01:24:20,790 the Dogon 1988 01:24:28,190 --> 01:24:23,460 they say yeah well we did that cuz the 1989 01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:28,200 star people Sirius came down and told us 1990 01:24:32,390 --> 01:24:30,660 that so we have all this stuff that 1991 01:24:35,450 --> 01:24:32,400 lines up and in all points in the same 1992 01:24:39,010 --> 01:24:35,460 direction in each n aliens and then you 1993 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:39,020 you seem super resistant to going there 1994 01:24:42,890 --> 01:24:41,250 y-yeah so I'm not actually resisted 1995 01:24:46,130 --> 01:24:42,900 going there so you people can go to my 1996 01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:46,140 blog and search for Dogon and find blog 1997 01:24:49,970 --> 01:24:47,610 posts I've written about the Dogon is 1998 01:24:51,740 --> 01:24:49,980 more than one the Dogon people more than 1999 01:24:53,870 --> 01:24:51,750 one blog post and people can go and 2000 01:24:56,420 --> 01:24:53,880 search on my blog for ancient aliens and 2001 01:24:58,520 --> 01:24:56,430 find not just blog post but videos I've 2002 01:25:02,630 --> 01:24:58,530 made about it so here's why because I 2003 01:25:06,460 --> 01:25:02,640 would argue that star people or these 2004 01:25:08,900 --> 01:25:06,470 encounters don't necessarily equal 2005 01:25:10,460 --> 01:25:08,910 extraterrestrials I'm not ruling that 2006 01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:10,470 out as a possibility if I'm an 2007 01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:12,450 investigator if I'm Sherlock Holmes I 2008 01:25:15,950 --> 01:25:14,490 don't go into the investigation saying 2009 01:25:18,890 --> 01:25:15,960 well I'm gonna rule out the possibility 2010 01:25:20,630 --> 01:25:18,900 that the butler did it 2011 01:25:22,250 --> 01:25:20,640 I'm not also gonna rule out the 2012 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:22,260 possibility that the police might be in 2013 01:25:28,790 --> 01:25:23,970 on it I'm gonna have all those options 2014 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:28,800 open but I'll tell you that what I think 2015 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:32,930 is possible is that all this amazing 2016 01:25:37,100 --> 01:25:34,770 correspondences that we're talking about 2017 01:25:39,710 --> 01:25:37,110 the connections to the stars around the 2018 01:25:42,170 --> 01:25:39,720 world and the megalithic monuments I 2019 01:25:44,540 --> 01:25:42,180 mean first of all the building of the 2020 01:25:46,670 --> 01:25:44,550 Great Pyramid they're slinging around 2021 01:25:48,590 --> 01:25:46,680 some big blocks and there's still 2022 01:25:50,450 --> 01:25:48,600 controversy as to how those blocks got 2023 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:50,460 put up at those Heights because the 2024 01:25:55,370 --> 01:25:52,530 ramps would have to be twice as big as 2025 01:25:56,900 --> 01:25:55,380 the pyramids if it was ramps but not 2026 01:25:59,450 --> 01:25:56,910 only that like you said they're 2027 01:26:01,040 --> 01:25:59,460 perfectly aligned almost perfectly 2028 01:26:03,230 --> 01:26:01,050 aligned north south east and west and 2029 01:26:06,740 --> 01:26:03,240 there are alignments with the shafts to 2030 01:26:09,950 --> 01:26:06,750 certain stars and there's even this is a 2031 01:26:12,110 --> 01:26:09,960 mind-blower proportional relationships 2032 01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:12,120 between the size of our spherical earth 2033 01:26:16,610 --> 01:26:14,610 and the size of the Great Pyramid and 2034 01:26:18,740 --> 01:26:16,620 people and people who are skeptical of 2035 01:26:20,480 --> 01:26:18,750 that might say yeah Dave there's 2036 01:26:22,490 --> 01:26:20,490 proportions between your house and the 2037 01:26:25,670 --> 01:26:22,500 size of the spherical earth we just have 2038 01:26:27,740 --> 01:26:25,680 to find the right memorably divide by 2039 01:26:29,390 --> 01:26:27,750 and we'll get the proportion yeah but 2040 01:26:33,919 --> 01:26:29,400 they're proportional to the size of the 2041 01:26:36,110 --> 01:26:33,929 earth by the number for 43,200 2042 01:26:38,510 --> 01:26:36,120 which is a precessional number which 2043 01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:38,520 relates to the precession of the 2044 01:26:42,470 --> 01:26:40,530 equinoxes the precession of the stars 2045 01:26:45,050 --> 01:26:42,480 and takes it's very hard to even figure 2046 01:26:47,330 --> 01:26:45,060 out the processional constant it takes 2047 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:47,340 years and years I still don't understand 2048 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:49,170 why you don't accept DT you kind of 2049 01:26:54,050 --> 01:26:51,690 brush past at the point oh I don't 2050 01:26:56,270 --> 01:26:54,060 accept eyes it's not the evidence is 2051 01:26:59,330 --> 01:26:56,280 overwhelming now with it so we have the 2052 01:27:01,970 --> 01:26:59,340 dod videos of these aircraft and I have 2053 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:01,980 the guy on the the UFOs I don't know how 2054 01:27:05,510 --> 01:27:04,050 people get to UFOs and accept that 2055 01:27:08,390 --> 01:27:05,520 there's UFOs that do these things we 2056 01:27:10,370 --> 01:27:08,400 can't do that a human being can't do and 2057 01:27:14,630 --> 01:27:10,380 that they're powered by somebody but 2058 01:27:17,810 --> 01:27:14,640 it's you won't go to et I like Jacques 2059 01:27:19,580 --> 01:27:17,820 valet who's no stranger in the head jock 2060 01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:19,590 filet on the show you know Jacques filet 2061 01:27:23,290 --> 01:27:21,690 throws that stuff out there and that's 2062 01:27:27,979 --> 01:27:23,300 great but that's just kind of 2063 01:27:29,630 --> 01:27:27,989 automatically equal look it's amazing 2064 01:27:31,130 --> 01:27:29,640 craft doesn't automatically equal 2065 01:27:33,380 --> 01:27:31,140 extraterrestrials now I'm not saying 2066 01:27:37,189 --> 01:27:33,390 that can fill in that captain amazing 2067 01:27:40,340 --> 01:27:37,199 craft from four throughout history you 2068 01:27:42,380 --> 01:27:40,350 know bob lazar who now was come out and 2069 01:27:43,820 --> 01:27:42,390 did that fantastic movie and he says yet 2070 01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:43,830 you know here's the craft we had it at 2071 01:27:47,750 --> 01:27:46,290 area 51 here's how we studied it here's 2072 01:27:50,470 --> 01:27:47,760 how I understood the propulsion to work 2073 01:27:55,910 --> 01:27:50,480 I had on Diana pasola 2074 01:27:57,740 --> 01:27:55,920 who you know is a PhD as a teacher she 2075 01:28:00,740 --> 01:27:57,750 goes out in the desert she finds the 2076 01:28:02,660 --> 01:28:00,750 craft pieces because a guy goes and 2077 01:28:04,850 --> 01:28:02,670 shows her and there's all these kind of 2078 01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:04,860 invisible College that knows all this 2079 01:28:08,750 --> 01:28:06,330 stuff is going on I just had Mary 2080 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:08,760 arrived well on last week who is a 2081 01:28:13,459 --> 01:28:10,770 counselor for 30 years and helps people 2082 01:28:15,020 --> 01:28:13,469 talk about traumatized helps people who 2083 01:28:17,450 --> 01:28:15,030 are traumatized by their contact 2084 01:28:18,979 --> 01:28:17,460 experience so you know unless you want 2085 01:28:20,630 --> 01:28:18,989 to just take all that and pack it up in 2086 01:28:23,300 --> 01:28:20,640 a box and just throw it all away 2087 01:28:25,910 --> 01:28:23,310 then you got a big problem if you don't 2088 01:28:27,830 --> 01:28:25,920 accept et that this idea that people 2089 01:28:29,570 --> 01:28:27,840 throw around they just drop out Jack 2090 01:28:32,090 --> 01:28:29,580 belay and they're like okay so now I can 2091

you're passionate 2094 01:28:42,090 --> 01:28:39,290 about this 2095 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:42,100 Alex let me tell you let me ask you this 2096 01:28:54,060 --> 01:28:46,810 would you discount the possibility that 2097 01:28:59,040 --> 01:28:54,070 some of the UFO hype and activity after 2098 01:29:01,660 --> 01:28:59,050 world war ii was a PSYOP can that be 2099 01:29:03,310 --> 01:29:01,670 considered as a possible explanation for 2100 01:29:03,790 --> 01:29:03,320 summons because let me tie back to the 2101 01:29:05,410 --> 01:29:03,800 myths 2102 01:29:07,420 --> 01:29:05,420 hold on hold on you asked the question 2103 01:29:11,590 --> 01:29:07,430 let me answer it of course everything is 2104 01:29:14,410 --> 01:29:11,600 a PSYOP everything is is a control but 2105 01:29:16,090 --> 01:29:14,420 what I just hit you with there is the 2106 01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:16,100 physical evidence so you might not like 2107 01:29:21,070 --> 01:29:19,370 Diana Walsh Basilica everyone does 2108 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:21,080 I'm not saying she went out in the 2109 01:29:25,510 --> 01:29:23,330 desert and she finds these pieces of a 2110 01:29:27,100 --> 01:29:25,520 craft and they don't analyze it and they 2111 01:29:27,340 --> 01:29:27,110 say that and you'd mentioned Jacques de 2112 01:29:29,140 --> 01:29:27,350 l'Est 2113 01:29:31,390 --> 01:29:29,150 I had Jacque play on you know what he's 2114 01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:31,400 really interested in the same thing 2115 01:29:37,810 --> 01:29:34,730 she's friends with with while she was 2116 01:29:41,260 --> 01:29:37,820 friends with it he's interested in craft 2117 01:29:43,900 --> 01:29:41,270 right so there's no doubt that that 2118 01:29:45,940 --> 01:29:43,910 that's real so the whole is there SIOP 2119 01:29:48,100 --> 01:29:45,950 is there Project Blue Book was it a 2120 01:29:50,050 --> 01:29:48,110 complete cover-up did they reach some 2121 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:50,060 point here's what the history that I 2122 01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:52,850 think reveals is that hey they were 2123 01:29:56,620 --> 01:29:54,530 surprised when all this stuff happens 2124 01:29:58,240 --> 01:29:56,630 back in the forties like wow so they're 2125 01:30:00,130 --> 01:29:58,250 just kind of releasing it and then 2126 01:30:01,540 --> 01:30:00,140 they're at a junction where they have to 2127 01:30:03,580 --> 01:30:01,550 go okay which way do we go 2128 01:30:05,740 --> 01:30:03,590 do we just kind of do the mind-control 2129 01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:05,750 thing like which relates to the Starman 2130 01:30:09,820 --> 01:30:07,850 thing and just go squash it and just go 2131 01:30:11,530 --> 01:30:09,830 missing form and just deny deny 2132 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:11,540 misinformed misinformed do we go that 2133 01:30:15,790 --> 01:30:13,570 route or do we go this route of kind of 2134 01:30:17,380 --> 01:30:15,800 embracing it and trying to understand it 2135 01:30:18,430 --> 01:30:17,390 well we know what route they went to and 2136 01:30:19,930 --> 01:30:18,440 they just went from this information 2137 01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:19,940 route but that doesn't take away from 2138 01:30:24,730 --> 01:30:22,610 where we're at today we know that 2139 01:30:26,770 --> 01:30:24,740 there's a reality the Occam's razor is 2140 01:30:28,300 --> 01:30:26,780 that there's a reality to it you can 2141 01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:28,310 imagine all sorts of things but the 2142 01:30:32,440 --> 01:30:30,290 evidence is overwhelming that that's the 2143 01:30:34,870 --> 01:30:32,450 reality let me bring my area of 2144 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:34,880 expertise into it Alex since you know 2145 01:30:39,730 --> 01:30:37,970 I'm not I'm not I haven't talked to 2146 01:30:42,790 --> 01:30:39,740 Jacque delay the reason I brought him up 2147 01:30:46,570 --> 01:30:42,800 was because he says UFOs does not 2148 01:30:48,700 --> 01:30:46,580 necessarily equal et at least not in 2149 01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:48,710 every case that's why I brought him up 2150 01:30:51,850 --> 01:30:50,570 but settings Yachvili aside I'm not 2151 01:30:52,630 --> 01:30:51,860 relying on the authority of Jacques 2152 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:52,640 filet let me talk 2153 01:31:01,120 --> 01:30:55,730 about the star myths for a second it's 2154 01:31:03,550 --> 01:31:01,130 undeniable that many members of the UFOs 2155 01:31:07,300 --> 01:31:03,560 must be ETS all the way down through 2156 01:31:11,710 --> 01:31:07,310 history rely on or point to the myths 2157 01:31:15,100 --> 01:31:11,720 and say the crossing of the Red Sea was 2158 01:31:19,390 --> 01:31:15,110 caused by a UFO it parted the waters or 2159 01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:19,400 the vision of Ezekiel is describing an 2160 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:22,730 alien craft and yet in the language that 2161 01:31:26,410 --> 01:31:24,530 they're trying to understand and what I 2162 01:31:29,700 --> 01:31:26,420 can bring I didn't go there I'm not I'm 2163 01:31:31,930 --> 01:31:29,710 not going there but Simeon yes Rael has 2164 01:31:33,850 --> 01:31:31,940 Rael tells you that when he was first 2165 01:31:36,130 --> 01:31:33,860 contacted they told him come back 2166 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:36,140 tomorrow the spacecraft with the tall 2167 01:31:38,950 --> 01:31:37,610 alien is said come back tomorrow bring 2168 01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:38,960 your Bible and I'll tell you all the 2169 01:31:43,090 --> 01:31:41,090 things that we don't want so what 2170 01:31:45,210 --> 01:31:43,100 there's all sorts of alien cults there's 2171 01:31:51,010 --> 01:31:45,220 all sorts of alien beliefs and there's 2172 01:31:54,130 --> 01:31:51,020 tsunamis Anunnaki incision and Dolokhov 2173 01:31:56,860 --> 01:31:54,140 Sookie posits that a lot of these myths 2174 01:31:58,840 --> 01:31:56,870 work hard work a lot of these stories in 2175 01:32:00,940 --> 01:31:58,850 the Bible the Sun Stood Still for three 2176 01:32:02,950 --> 01:32:00,950 days that was because the Venus was 2177 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:02,960 swooping around acrimony Velikovsky or 2178 01:32:09,250 --> 01:32:06,250 the Anunnaki described in the 2179 01:32:11,650 --> 01:32:09,260 Mesopotamian Epic over-zealous we get 2180 01:32:14,650 --> 01:32:11,660 that people can become so married to 2181 01:32:15,550 --> 01:32:14,660 their one kind of hammer that everything 2182 01:32:17,470 --> 01:32:15,560 looks like a nail 2183 01:32:20,470 --> 01:32:17,480 you know let's cut him some slack okay 2184 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:20,480 cuz they were and to me everything in 2185 01:32:26,020 --> 01:32:22,850 the myths can be just going to be 2186 01:32:28,540 --> 01:32:26,030 explained as celestial metaphor I can 2187 01:32:30,790 --> 01:32:28,550 show you the crossing of the Red Sea I 2188 01:32:35,020 --> 01:32:30,800 can show you the Holy Grail you know 2189 01:32:37,630 --> 01:32:35,030 what what does that get you David is so 2190 01:32:39,700 --> 01:32:37,640 we're back to kind of to me though you 2191 01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:39,710 just kind of back to pounding on the 2192 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:41,690 point that you that I concede it at the 2193 01:32:47,110 --> 01:32:44,330 beginning it's undeniable that there's 2194 01:32:52,030 --> 01:32:47,120 this connection so the question is who 2195 01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:52,040 and why and what is the relation to 80 2196 01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:54,250 and what is the relation to evil so 2197 01:33:00,670 --> 01:32:56,810 great I don't deny it good 2198 01:33:02,710 --> 01:33:00,680 so therefore if when people start 2199 01:33:04,930 --> 01:33:02,720 getting too close to what actually 2200 01:33:05,649 --> 01:33:04,940 happened we trot out well it's all 2201 01:33:08,259 --> 01:33:05,659 because of age 2202 01:33:09,699 --> 01:33:08,269 aliens that will lead us off into a 2203 01:33:12,489 --> 01:33:09,709 rabbit hole well you roll your eyes 2204 01:33:15,810 --> 01:33:12,499 but I'm saying can we discount the 2205 01:33:17,949 --> 01:33:15,820 possibility that let's say severe 2206 01:33:21,459 --> 01:33:17,959 skepticism will take me through your 2207 01:33:24,370 --> 01:33:21,469 scenario where does that lead you to if 2208 01:33:26,649 --> 01:33:24,380 I can take you away from the uplifting 2209 01:33:29,709 --> 01:33:26,659 power of the myths and say well let's 2210 01:33:31,419 --> 01:33:29,719 take it back to we we thought it was all 2211 01:33:33,879 --> 01:33:31,429 about these external characters such as 2212 01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:33,889 Jesus and Moses for centuries we had 2213 01:33:36,899 --> 01:33:35,449 them believing that that it was 2214 01:33:39,219 --> 01:33:36,909 literalistic 2215 01:33:41,109 --> 01:33:39,229 that kind of started to fall apart in 2216 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:41,119 the 20th century because of technology 2217 01:33:46,689 --> 01:33:43,489 and other things going on so people 2218 01:33:47,409 --> 01:33:46,699 started to our control system I don't 2219 01:33:51,069 --> 01:33:47,419 know why you're rolling your eyes 2220 01:33:52,989 --> 01:33:51,079 because this is if you plug ET into the 2221 01:33:55,299 --> 01:33:52,999 orchestrator of your myths 2222 01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:55,309 how does that lessen your story in any 2223 01:33:59,109 --> 01:33:57,050 way it's like you're fighting it for no 2224 01:34:02,080 --> 01:33:59,119 reason because now it's external again 2225 01:34:03,850 --> 01:34:02,090 these stories are now about okay they're 2226 01:34:06,540 --> 01:34:03,860 not external where are they from them 2227 01:34:09,429 --> 01:34:06,550 they're not external where are they from 2228 01:34:10,959 --> 01:34:09,439 it could be from the spiritual realm it 2229 01:34:15,219 --> 01:34:10,969 could be what is the spiritual realm 2230 01:34:17,649 --> 01:34:15,229 well let's say let's say that shamans or 2231 01:34:21,219 --> 01:34:17,659 people I know that term is overused but 2232 01:34:27,659 --> 01:34:21,229 around the world there are people there 2233 01:34:32,290 --> 01:34:27,669 are institutions of the people who have 2234 01:34:34,750 --> 01:34:32,300 contact with the realm that's not 2235 01:34:38,199 --> 01:34:34,760 described by our materialist physics 2236 01:34:41,020 --> 01:34:38,209 let's just talk about for instance you 2237 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:41,030 know you have a ayahuasca experience or 2238 01:34:43,989 --> 01:34:42,650 mushroom experience and you're 2239 01:34:46,209 --> 01:34:43,999 encountering and you're getting 2240 01:34:50,319 --> 01:34:46,219 information that you wouldn't get 2241 01:34:53,140 --> 01:34:50,329 otherwise or people don't need 2242 01:34:54,909 --> 01:34:53,150 substances to do that drumming is used 2243 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:54,919 around the world and drums were actually 2244 01:34:58,540 --> 01:34:56,650 drumming was actually outlawed by the 2245 01:35:00,669 --> 01:34:58,550 literalist Christians when they got up 2246 01:35:02,979 --> 01:35:00,679 in northern Norway they took away all 2247 01:35:04,659 --> 01:35:02,989 the drums from the shamans are a bit 2248 01:35:06,279 --> 01:35:04,669 dated this is what this is what I talk 2249 01:35:08,290 --> 01:35:06,289 about all the time I'm skeptical right I 2250 01:35:09,850 --> 01:35:08,300 got 200 shows on your death experience 2251 01:35:11,529 --> 01:35:09,860 because not because I care about 2252 01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:11,539 near-death experience so much is because 2253 01:35:16,060 --> 01:35:14,570 it clearly crushes the materialistic 2254 01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:16,070 paranoia because now we have a medical 2255 01:35:20,850 --> 01:35:17,890 reason for that so you know 2256 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:20,860 take the DMT take the DMT experiments of 2257 01:35:26,010 --> 01:35:22,930 Rick Strassman and when they reach those 2258 01:35:28,110 --> 01:35:26,020 other realms ET is there as much of as 2259 01:35:31,470 --> 01:35:28,120 well as all these shamanistic honestly 2260 01:35:33,990 --> 01:35:31,480 there you go no there you cannot I mean 2261 01:35:34,620 --> 01:35:34,000 you've got a substituted one thing for 2262 01:35:36,450 --> 01:35:34,630 another 2263 01:35:39,870 --> 01:35:36,460 but it doesn't explain the fundamental 2264 01:35:41,730 --> 01:35:39,880 question of why would spirits if you 2265 01:35:43,890 --> 01:35:41,740 want to just put spirits in there like 2266 01:35:46,050 --> 01:35:43,900 you want to take e.t out and then you 2267 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:46,060 want put spirits in ok that's your 2268 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:48,130 choice and then you want to put spirits 2269 01:35:54,810 --> 01:35:51,010 in tell me why the spirits did it in 2270 01:35:56,310 --> 01:35:54,820 this way and and did it in the Stars and 2271 01:35:57,960 --> 01:35:56,320 then did it you know with all these 2272 01:36:00,420 --> 01:35:57,970 stories throughout I like your other 2273 01:36:03,300 --> 01:36:00,430 explanation made more sense which is hey 2274 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:03,310 it was um you didn't say Atlantis but 2275 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:05,530 like some Atlantean ancient civilization 2276 01:36:09,450 --> 01:36:07,410 that went around in boats and 2277 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:09,460 explanations Alex I think we're actually 2278 01:36:16,050 --> 01:36:13,330 in violent agreement because you just 2279 01:36:17,850 --> 01:36:16,060 said we can get information from the 2280 01:36:19,590 --> 01:36:17,860 other realm so these star people you 2281 01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:19,600 said look there's been zillions of star 2282 01:36:23,070 --> 01:36:21,610 people encounters around the world why 2283 01:36:26,250 --> 01:36:23,080 did those star people have to come from 2284 01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:26,260 the planet Syria if I go into the if I 2285 01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:29,290 go into the realm of the guy and I come 2286 01:36:32,340 --> 01:36:31,090 back and described it as gods or I come 2287 01:36:34,140 --> 01:36:32,350 back and describe it as something and 2288 01:36:36,900 --> 01:36:34,150 someone says oh that's an et gray or 2289 01:36:39,420 --> 01:36:36,910 whatever it doesn't doesn't mean that 2290 01:36:42,330 --> 01:36:39,430 that et gray came from the star Arcturus 2291 01:36:43,500 --> 01:36:42,340 i getcha this is the stuff I talk about 2292 01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:43,510 all the time but that's why I'm bringing 2293 01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:45,370 it back to the storm the thing and I 2294 01:36:49,140 --> 01:36:47,050 keep bringing up the same question and 2295 01:36:50,130 --> 01:36:49,150 you don't I guess we're not on the same 2296 01:36:52,020 --> 01:36:50,140 wavelength or 2297 01:36:55,290 --> 01:36:52,030 that's right different ways but here's 2298 01:36:59,190 --> 01:36:55,300 the thing it's like why why is this 2299 01:37:02,460 --> 01:36:59,200 particular esoteric wisdom and let me 2300 01:37:04,350 --> 01:37:02,470 back up and say again Dave you've you're 2301 01:37:07,950 --> 01:37:04,360 the guy you're the man you're the one 2302 01:37:10,410 --> 01:37:07,960 who's who's kind of stood against the 2303 01:37:12,780 --> 01:37:10,420 tide and said hey all this stuff is 2304 01:37:15,990 --> 01:37:12,790 connected and you got 5,000 pages and 2305 01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:16,000 now we have to go Wow he did it he 2306 01:37:21,510 --> 01:37:18,970 single-handedly has established and made 2307 01:37:23,790 --> 01:37:21,520 that undeniable I'm going to the next 2308 01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:23,800 question which you saying I've talked to 2309 01:37:27,750 --> 01:37:25,810 all these I've talked to all these 2310 01:37:30,210 --> 01:37:27,760 different people I've talked to mediums 2311 01:37:34,070 --> 01:37:30,220 I've talked to near-death experiencers 2312 01:37:36,270 --> 01:37:34,080 out-of-body experience travelers DMT 2313 01:37:38,790 --> 01:37:36,280 Ethne jinn

01:37:46,330 realm I've never heard any stories about 2317 01:37:51,210 --> 01:37:48,880 this kind of thing there's there there's 2318 01:37:54,030 --> 01:37:51,220 nothing like this in any of the

there was some 2417 01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:42,139 God sitting up on a cloud and one of the 2418 01:41:47,020 --> 01:41:44,449 gods decided okay my way of gonna do 2419 01:41:48,699 --> 01:41:47,030 this is going to be through these star 2420 01:41:50,679 --> 01:41:48,709 myths and that's how I'm going to do it 2421 01:41:52,629 --> 01:41:50,689 you know then you can't switch and then 2422 01:41:54,970 --> 01:41:52,639 say these people because then that's 2423 01:41:56,830 --> 01:41:54,980 kind of out of it so that it 2424 01:41:59,110 --> 01:41:56,840 what I'm pushing you on is that I've 2425 01:42:01,690 --> 01:41:59,120 talked to all these different people who 2426 01:42:04,420 --> 01:42:01,700 have accessed the extended consciousness 2427 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:04,430 realm in that kind of way that you're 2428 01:42:08,410 --> 01:42:07,130 thinking it doesn't come up at all so of 2429 01:42:10,990 --> 01:42:08,420 course something that you are the 2430 01:42:13,900 --> 01:42:11,000 shamanic auto-ship I read Mircea Eliade 2431 01:42:15,430 --> 01:42:13,910 days book shamanism no you're 2432 01:42:18,460 --> 01:42:15,440 misinterpreting you're misinterpreting 2433 01:42:19,090 --> 01:42:18,470 what I'm saying what I'm saying what I'm 2434 01:42:20,440 --> 01:42:19,100 not done 2435 01:42:22,570 --> 01:42:20,450 you're gonna you're now gonna tell me 2436 01:42:24,460 --> 01:42:22,580 how the shamans had all these myths to 2437 01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:24,470 which is back just to proving to me that 2438 01:42:30,010 --> 01:42:26,810 it's undeniable that all the minute I 2439 01:42:33,310 --> 01:42:30,020 get it I get it I keep coming back to 2440 01:42:37,930 --> 01:42:33,320 why I keep coming back to why would they 2441 01:42:43,630 --> 01:42:37,940 do it in this way that is so you know 2442 01:42:50,350 --> 01:42:43,640 kind of uniquely peculiar in terms of 2443 01:42:54,250 --> 01:42:50,360 how it's done I mean like an hour I was 2444 01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:54,260 in the infantry I have a lot of head 2445 01:43:01,060 --> 01:42:56,570 injuries I need to explain to me 2446 01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:01,070 infantry simple man so like I might not 2447 01:43:04,780 --> 01:43:03,410 be I might I might not be the fastest 2448 01:43:06,550 --> 01:43:04,790 one to pick up on the question you're 2449 01:43:09,370 --> 01:43:06,560 actually asking but what I'm saying is 2450 01:43:11,229 --> 01:43:09,380 why couldn't this ancient culture this 2451 01:43:13,780 --> 01:43:11,239 ancient sophisticated culture that was 2452 01:43:16,270 --> 01:43:13,790 so much more ancient in than the ancient 2453 01:43:19,690 --> 01:43:16,280 Egyptians the earliest ancient Egyptian 2454 01:43:20,970 --> 01:43:19,700 dynasty or dynasty was ancient to us but 2455 01:43:24,910 --> 01:43:20,980 it was only five thousand years ago 2456 01:43:27,370 --> 01:43:24,920 gobekli tepe according to radiocarbon 2457 01:43:30,700 --> 01:43:27,380 dating of the walls must have been 2458 01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:30,710 buried by 8,000 BC so it was as ancient 2459 01:43:33,910 --> 01:43:33,170 to the earliest Egyptian dynasty as the 2460 01:43:35,770 --> 01:43:33,920 earliest emption 2461 01:43:37,420 --> 01:43:35,780 Egyptian dynasty is dust and probably 2462 01:43:40,090 --> 01:43:37,430 more ancient so there's more ancient 2463 01:43:41,950 --> 01:43:40,100 culture I say whoever they were because 2464 01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:41,960 we don't know who they were but why 2465 01:43:45,550 --> 01:43:43,970 could they not have been using shamanic 2466 01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:45,560 techniques and I know that words are 2467 01:43:49,630 --> 01:43:47,570 overused but these techniques that you 2468 01:43:51,580 --> 01:43:49,640 talk about the endings Obie's to tap 2469 01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:51,590 into the realm of the gods and put 2470 01:43:56,110 --> 01:43:53,690 together this system why did they put it 2471 01:43:57,610 --> 01:43:56,120 together this way the same way that we 2472 01:44:00,310 --> 01:43:57,620 were same reason to mr. miyagi taught 2473 01:44:02,500 --> 01:44:00,320 Daniels on that way because our egoic 2474 01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:02,510 minds which is a defense mechanism for 2475 01:44:06,970 --> 01:44:04,010 dealing with this world that we found 2476 01:44:08,380 --> 01:44:06,980 ourselves in from infancy it defends us 2477 01:44:10,570 --> 01:44:08,390 it's there it's like 2478 01:44:12,730 --> 01:44:10,580 outing Thomas why was doubting Thomas so 2479 01:44:14,740 --> 01:44:12,740 doubtful it was doubts were his defense 2480 01:44:16,930 --> 01:44:14,750 mechanism from getting burned when they 2481 01:44:18,460 --> 01:44:16,940 said we've seen Jesus he said yeah right 2482 01:44:21,150 --> 01:44:18,470 I'll believe it when I touch it a 2483 01:44:23,290 --> 01:44:21,160 defense our mind is a defense mechanism 2484 01:44:24,850 --> 01:44:23,300 Daniel son had all kinds of defense 2485 01:44:27,430 --> 01:44:24,860 mechanisms because he'd been hurt Eve 2486 01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:27,440 then he was full of doubts and he was a 2487 01:44:31,870 --> 01:44:29,210 very untrusting individual and mr. 2488 01:44:33,910 --> 01:44:31,880 miyagi said the way to reach this kid is 2489 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:33,920 not through the direct route it's 2490 01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:35,690 through the indirect route and the 2491 01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:37,610 people who put this myths together and I 2492 01:44:41,410 --> 01:44:39,850 don't admit that it had to have 2493 01:44:45,450 --> 01:44:41,420 extraterrestrials from the planet 2494 01:44:48,850 --> 01:44:45,460 circling Arcturus it could have been a 2495 01:44:51,010 --> 01:44:48,860 sophisticated human culture that was 2496 01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:51,020 tapped into this and said how am I going 2497 01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:54,010 to teach this well we know that our mind 2498 01:44:58,420 --> 01:44:56,930 our defense mechanism mind that deals 2499 01:45:00,160 --> 01:44:58,430 with culture is gonna choke on it just 2500 01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:00,170 like Daniel son so we're gonna have to 2501 01:45:04,480 --> 01:45:02,050 use the mr. miyagi route and go around 2502 01:45:07,300 --> 01:45:04,490 where did they get this incredible 2503 01:45:08,530 --> 01:45:07,310 wisdom maybe from the realm of the Gods 2504 01:45:09,790 --> 01:45:08,540 which they might have accessed through 2505 01:45:11,290 --> 01:45:09,800 plants they might have access through 2506 01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:11,300 breathing I don't know how they accessed 2507 01:45:15,580 --> 01:45:13,610 it because it was so far in advance in 2508 01:45:17,230 --> 01:45:15,590 ancient Egypt nobody can tell you for 2509 01:45:19,660 --> 01:45:17,240 sure but if someone tells you for sure 2510 01:45:22,300 --> 01:45:19,670 it was Arcturians then my skeptical 2511 01:45:24,100 --> 01:45:22,310 meter goes Bing how the hell do you know 2512 01:45:26,380 --> 01:45:24,110 is for sure Arcturians well because we 2513 01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:26,390 trying to craft well what if I say that 2514 01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:29,090 craft could have been Nazis you go what 2515 01:45:31,900 --> 01:45:30,650 do you mean Nazis well they were working 2516 01:45:35,020 --> 01:45:31,910 on some pretty advanced craft and that 2517 01:45:36,940 --> 01:45:35,030 was 1942 so don't tell me you're sure 2518 01:45:39,930 --> 01:45:36,950 it's Arcturians that could be a saya 2519 01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:39,940 that's what I'm saying for sure but 2520 01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:45,110 we've I that we probably frustrated but 2521 01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:47,810 a lot of our audience but maybe said oh 2522 01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:53,930 I've had a good time it was me I take I 2523 01:45:59,950 --> 01:45:56,930 take blame but hey that's I should I get 2524 01:46:01,720 --> 01:45:59,960 to do what I want once a week like I 2525 01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:01,730 said I think every single individual 2526 01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:03,170 brings out something different and you 2527 01:46:06,580 --> 01:46:04,850 certainly brought out you took it in 2528 01:46:09,010 --> 01:46:06,590 some different ways and I think that's 2529 01:46:10,300 --> 01:46:09,020 valuable I don't I don't have any 2530 01:46:11,980 --> 01:46:10,310 problem with confrontation because as 2531 01:46:13,330 --> 01:46:11,990 you noticed I was there as you mentioned 2532 01:46:16,360 --> 01:46:13,340 I was in the military I don't 2533 01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:16,370 necessarily love to go that route but I 2534 01:46:20,140 --> 01:46:18,170 don't really have a thin skin I mean 2535 01:46:20,839 --> 01:46:20,150 I've been called everything wrong I was 2536 01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:20,849 in the army 2537 01:46:27,530 --> 01:46:25,290 well we are we are confronting I'm you 2538 01:46:29,540 --> 01:46:27,540 know like we both I said you know over 2539 01:46:31,370 --> 01:46:29,550 90 percent agreement and and the most 2540 01:46:37,339 --> 01:46:31,380 fundamental thing that you're saying is 2541 01:46:40,580 --> 01:46:37,349 this return to self is is I've recapped 2542 01:46:45,220 --> 01:46:40,590 the story over and over again but it's 2543 01:46:47,750 --> 01:46:45,230 phenomenal to think that the star myth 2544 01:46:51,140 --> 01:46:47,760 hypothesis that you've established so 2545 01:46:54,589 --> 01:46:51,150 beautifully has this deeper connection 2546 01:46:57,080 --> 01:46:54,599 with all the great wisdom traditions 2547 01:46:59,780 --> 01:46:57,090 that tell us that the real journey is 2548 01:47:02,330 --> 01:46:59,790 the journey to ourself and that that's 2549 01:47:04,790 --> 01:47:02,340 the journey that we should put foremost 2550 01:47:07,430 --> 01:47:04,800 in our life and then there's all these 2551 01:47:09,890 --> 01:47:07,440 awesome awesome stories that are 2552 01:47:13,189 --> 01:47:09,900 inspiring you know I mean it's not my 2553 01:47:16,339 --> 01:47:13,199 cup of tea but it's inspiring to so many 2554 01:47:20,450 --> 01:47:16,349 people and has been throughout the ages 2555 01:47:22,399 --> 01:47:20,460 and is that what the final question and 2556 01:47:25,939 --> 01:47:22,409 then we'll leave the skeptical board for 2557 01:47:30,470 --> 01:47:25,949 a minute what is what is your personal 2558 01:47:33,919 --> 01:47:30,480 kind of way that you like to kind of 2559 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:33,929 learn and relate and I guess why do the 2560 01:47:39,859 --> 01:47:36,570 mists in allegory why do you think that 2561 01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:39,869 that draws you in because I like to see 2562 01:47:42,319 --> 01:47:41,010 connections that's a really good 2563 01:47:44,149 --> 01:47:42,329 question I'd like to see connections 2564 01:47:47,450 --> 01:47:44,159 between things and that's what metaphors 2565 01:47:48,740 --> 01:47:47,460 do their show connections between it's 2566 01:47:50,569 --> 01:47:48,750 like oh I want to show you this new 2567 01:47:51,950 --> 01:47:50,579 concept I'm gonna connect it to 2568 01:47:54,109 --> 01:47:51,960 something that you know a little better 2569 01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:54,119 to get you across the river to this 2570 01:47:58,100 --> 01:47:56,250 other side and I'm going to use 2571 01:47:59,750 --> 01:47:58,110 something that you some stepping stones 2572 01:48:01,669 --> 01:47:59,760 that will help you across that river and 2573 01:48:02,990 --> 01:48:01,679 that's what the myths I think I mean 2574 01:48:03,740 --> 01:48:03,000 that's what mr. Miyagi is doing with 2575 01:48:05,620 --> 01:48:03,750 daniel-san 2576 01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:05,630 Dainius on had no conception of 2577 01:48:09,859 --> 01:48:08,250 conception or this martial art that he 2578 01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:09,869 wanted to teach him so he taught him 2579 01:48:13,100 --> 01:48:11,610 through something more familiar and got 2580 01:48:14,510 --> 01:48:13,110 him to the other side and it's like a 2581 01:48:16,669 --> 01:48:14,520 magical moment that everyone remembers 2582 01:48:18,649 --> 01:48:16,679 when the lights finally go on for down 2583 01:48:20,300 --> 01:48:18,659 daniel-san like his mind jumps across 2584 01:48:22,010 --> 01:48:20,310 the river while these connections 2585 01:48:25,129 --> 01:48:22,020 between the stars 2586 01:48:27,350 --> 01:48:25,139 what are these constellations if not us 2587 01:48:29,870 --> 01:48:27,360 connecting the stars and then connecting 2588 01:48:32,689 --> 01:48:29,880 them to our condition in order to convey 2589 01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:32,699 these like I said profound but also very 2590 01:48:36,530 --> 01:48:34,170 practical truths 2591 01:48:38,030 --> 01:48:36,540 about each and every about yourself and 2592 01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:38,040 then each and every other man and woman 2593 01:48:41,390 --> 01:48:39,810 you ever meet that they have this 2594 01:48:45,170 --> 01:48:41,400 invisible component as well and that's 2595 01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:45,180 what that's why we have to to you know 2596 01:48:49,460 --> 01:48:47,610 respect and you know we had this kind of 2597 01:48:51,470 --> 01:48:49,470 discussion that got a little heated but 2598 01:48:53,480 --> 01:48:51,480 I recognize that every single other 2599 01:48:55,250 --> 01:48:53,490 person that I meet is this other as it's 2600 01:48:57,290 --> 01:48:55,260 divine components is down here wrestling 2601 01:48:59,060 --> 01:48:57,300 with this physical world it's like 2602 01:49:02,690 --> 01:48:59,070 that's why they say Namaskar amor 2603 01:49:04,250 --> 01:49:02,700 namaste is either that part of me 2604 01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:04,260 recognizes that part of you and we're 2605 01:49:08,570 --> 01:49:06,090 down here wrestling with this I'm not 2606 01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:08,580 mad about I don't get mad about that 2607 01:49:14,810 --> 01:49:10,770 nature and if we all took that view that 2608 01:49:16,670 --> 01:49:14,820 maybe would be more better off as a 2609 01:49:19,730 --> 01:49:16,680 society but anyway I do actually have a 2610 01:49:22,700 --> 01:49:19,740 hard stop in like four minutes so if we 2611 01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:22,710 could let's do that then I tell you what 2612 01:49:26,540 --> 01:49:23,580 but I think it's been a great 2613 01:49:28,940 --> 01:49:26,550 conversation oh I so appreciate it and I 2614 01:49:31,820 --> 01:49:28,950 and I the work is phenomenal I've said 2615 01:49:34,610 --> 01:49:31,830 that enough so David you write some as 2616
