1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,580 I'd like to introduce Jay Widener. 2 00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:37,900 He's called a modern-day Indiana Jones for his seminal research on the Cross of Hende and the alchemical tradition. 3 00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:39,900 He's a hermetic scholar. 4 00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:46,380 He's written A Monument to the End of Time and Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hende. 5 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:53,520 He's a filmmaker who has produced many, many films and directed many films. 6 00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:02,140 He produced the film 2012 The Odyssey and Time Wave 2013. 7 00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:05,020 You are in for an amazing treat. 8 00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:10,520 He has tremendous knowledge in the field of 2012. 9 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,520 I give you Jay Widener. 10 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:21,140 Jay, how do I click through these things here? 11 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:26,140 Right arrow? 12 00:01:26,140 --> 00:01:31,140 How come I'm hitting right and left and it doesn't work? 13 00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:33,140 Oh, there we are. 14 00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:34,140 Okay. 15 00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:35,760 So, hey everybody. 16 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,760 How are you doing? 17 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:46,760 Well, I guess it's good I'm a morning person because I always get stuck in the first slot in these things. 18 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:54,760 And that's probably good because I get up at 5.30 in the morning and I'm wide awake by 9. 19 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:03,380 You guys all know about the very first myth of our culture? 20 00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:05,380 The very first myth of our culture. 21 00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:07,380 You know what myth is? 22 00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:10,380 Myth is our collective psychology. 23 00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:11,380 Okay? 24 00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:12,380 Okay? 25 00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:27,060 So, you have a myth and the reason the myth lives on is because there's something in that myth that is so important that we keep remembering it and passing it on generation to generation. 26 00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:34,300 The first myth of our culture is the most astonishing myth of all. 27 00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:40,320 And in that myth is our problem. 28 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,220 So, the first myth in our culture is this. 29 00:02:44,220 --> 00:03:00,320 Once, for a long, long time, we lived in a garden, a beautiful garden, where the animals were all nice to each other and we never hassled them and they never hassled us. 30 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:09,320 All the trees were filled with fruit, all the time, so no one had to work, they just picked the fruit off the tree and ate it. 31 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:29,320 Well, one day, the first man and the first woman, Adam and Eve, were walking through the garden and a guy came up who purported to be God and said, 32 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:42,320 You can have anything in this garden that you want, but you cannot eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. 33 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,220 And Adam went away thinking that was a pretty cool deal. 34 00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:48,220 But Eve, she didn't like it. 35 00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:53,220 She was a little suspicious of why she couldn't eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. 36 00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:57,120 So, one day, she's walking by the tree. 37 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,120 And there's a snake wrapped up the trunk. 38 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,120 And the snake says, Just eat. 39 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,120 Guess what? 40 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,020 You can eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge and you're not going to die. 41 00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:18,020 I know the big dude told you you were going to die if you ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. 42 00:04:18,020 --> 00:04:24,020 But I say to you, you can eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge and you will not die. 43 00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:38,920 Well, now, Eve, being a typical woman, reaches up, pulls off the apple from the tree of knowledge, eats it, goes over to Adam and says, 44 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,920 I did not die. 45 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,920 I ate the apple and I didn't die. 46 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Here, why don't you have some? 47 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,920 So, he eats it. 48 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,920 And he says, Hey, wait a minute. 49 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,920 I thought we were supposed to die. 50 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,920 And they didn't die. 51 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:57,820 And then the big dude gets home and he somehow finds out that they ate of the tree of knowledge. 52 00:04:57,820 --> 00:05:14,820 And he destroys the whole garden, throws them out of the garden, into ignorance, where they have to scrape their lives from the gravel and the hard dirt. 53 00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:20,720 And their children are condemned and were condemned forever and ever. 54 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:27,720 Because our great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother ate an apple. 55 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,720 That doesn't sound very fair to me, but that's the way it goes. 56 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,020 But let me contend to you, there's more to this story than we're being told. 57 00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:56,020 Because the apple, I want you to know the secret of the apple, is the secret to not only human destiny and the way out of the current predicament and the secret of 2012. 58 00:05:56,020 --> 00:06:18,100 But you will know, once you know the secret of the apple, and I will tell you the secret, that we have been condemned by an outside force who, and this is going to sound pretty radical, who is trying to convince us that he is God. 59 00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:25,840 And he's telling us that you must remain in abysmal ignorance forever. 60 00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:34,200 And if you try to climb out of that hole that I put you in, I will make your life hell. 61 00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:36,460 And he did. 62 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,220 So what's this all about? 63 00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:51,900 Well, I contend that this is all about a mystical, secret science that's been around for thousands of years, and it's the science of truth. 64 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:52,980 It's called alchemy. 65 00:06:54,740 --> 00:07:01,480 And alchemy is different than our modern science in a very important aspect. 66 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,520 Modern science is only defined by one thing. 67 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,120 It will not investigate anything that cannot be repeated. 68 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:22,840 If you do an experiment, and that experiment turns out this way, and then you do the same experiment three weeks later, and it comes out the same way, now science is interested in this. 69 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,000 Why does this thing keep repeating over and over, this pattern? 70 00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:33,100 And then they begin to extrapolate, and they learn about weather systems and geology and all this from this. 71 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:35,900 It's a great, it's a great way to learn things, I'm not saying that. 72 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,960 But alchemy is not interested in that which can be repeated. 73 00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:45,380 Alchemy is interested in that which only happens occasionally. 74 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,760 In a singularity, it's called in science. 75 00:07:50,260 --> 00:07:51,640 In religion, it's called a miracle. 76 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,880 Of course, you know, science has its own miracles, too. 77 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:02,600 For instance, none of this, according to science, would be here if it wasn't for the Big Bang. 78 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:14,860 Now, the Big Bang is this idea that they're trying to convince us that everything in the entire universe sprang out of nothing in a split second. 79 00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:23,660 Now, we've got guys from Cornell and Princeton and Oxford all trying to convince us that the universe sprang out of nothing. 80 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,120 And we're supposed to believe this. 81 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,880 And we're supposed to not be surprised that at the very core of the scientific understanding, they've got to pull out a miracle. 82 00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:37,600 Because they can't explain anything without the miracle. 83 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,660 You give them that one miracle, though, they're fine. 84 00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:41,160 Just give us that one. 85 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:42,880 That one miracle, the Big Bang. 86 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,620 We can handle all the rest. 87 00:08:45,140 --> 00:08:46,020 Don't worry about it. 88 00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,320 But, in fact, they need a miracle, too. 89 00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:54,760 So the world cannot be explained easily through the scientific paradigm. 90 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,600 But it can be understood through the alchemical paradigm. 91 00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:03,360 Because the alchemical paradigm is really our destiny as human beings. 92 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,000 Now, I started out this whole journey about 30 years ago. 93 00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,900 I was a very cynical journalist. 94 00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:13,160 I was an atheist. 95 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,480 I was an atheist. 96 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,580 I didn't believe in anything, really, except science, sort of. 97 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,580 And even that I was a little suspicious of. 98 00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:29,160 And I came across a book called Mystery of the Cathedrals by an anonymous gentleman who called himself Vulcanelli. 99 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,420 It was a book written in the 20s. 100 00:09:31,420 --> 00:09:44,920 And this book purported to say that there was an ancient mystical science called alchemy, which was a much further advanced form of knowledge than what we had been taught to believe. 101 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:51,100 And Vulcanelli points us towards this cross that sits in a little churchyard in the south of France. 102 00:09:51,100 --> 00:10:02,200 And he says that not only does this cross convey symbolically all of this great knowledge, but it also tells us when the end of our age is going to occur. 103 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Which Vulcanelli tells us in 1926 is very soon, within two or three generations. 104 00:10:09,460 --> 00:10:12,160 So I actually got into this to disprove this whole thing. 105 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:14,140 Debunk it. 106 00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:16,760 And I got in there and I started looking at the Cross of Hende. 107 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,580 And here I am 25 years later and I believe it completely. 108 00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:25,320 There I am about 15 years ago. 109 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,820 And sitting at the Cross of Hende. 110 00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:32,500 The Cross of Hende is a very strange monument. 111 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,480 It has a cross on the top with a strange Latin inscription. 112 00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:36,800 It has the pillar. 113 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,980 It has four signs on the bottom pedestal. 114 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,040 One is the star. 115 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:43,020 One is this fairy tale moon. 116 00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:46,400 One is this angry sun. 117 00:10:47,220 --> 00:10:51,380 And the fourth is this odd oval with these four A's in it. 118 00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:58,760 And we can see right away that these four symbols are related directly to the four symbols in the tarot deck. 119 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,540 Number 17, the star. 120 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,520 Number 18, the moon. 121 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:04,840 Number 19, the sun. 122 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,660 And number 20, the day of judgment. 123 00:11:06,660 --> 00:11:16,440 So the Cross of Hende is saying that there's something that's going to happen real soon. 124 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:25,020 And it's going to be so sudden and so shocking that a lot of people may not survive it. 125 00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:26,560 But some people will. 126 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:36,120 These are images here from the Gothic cathedrals in France which are all about alchemy. 127 00:11:36,260 --> 00:11:38,160 You see the woman on the right with the ladder? 128 00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:41,320 She's the goddess of alchemy. 129 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,220 And the ladder has seven steps on it. 130 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,460 And alchemists worship the goddess of alchemy. 131 00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:53,100 Not that they worship her because she is the creator of the universe. 132 00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:59,240 But because alchemy worships the feminine principle of creativity. 133 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,940 And the fact that women bear children. 134 00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:07,400 And they bear children in a way that's very similar to how Eve and the apple work. 135 00:12:08,420 --> 00:12:09,000 Hang on here. 136 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,540 Now it's not working. 137 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,400 Okay. 138 00:12:20,780 --> 00:12:22,340 It should start soon, right? 139 00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:26,340 All right. 140 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,260 All right. 141 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:43,180 Okay, so let's just enjoy some of these images for a second. 142 00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,500 Remember, these buildings were built by people who couldn't read or write. 143 00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:51,500 There was no literate education. 144 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,880 They didn't know geometry. 145 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,020 They didn't know math. 146 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,920 The Catholic Church, bless its heart, had kept everyone in complete ignorance. 147 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,300 Ignorance in Europe. 148 00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:02,240 Reading and writing was outlawed. 149 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,960 No one could read a book unless you became a priest. 150 00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:07,860 And the only book you could read was the Bible. 151 00:13:08,860 --> 00:13:13,660 In fact, the only Bible you could read was the Bible that they censored and put out for you. 152 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:21,620 Yet, around 1,300, 1,200, a group of guys came back from Jerusalem. 153 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,660 You've probably heard of them called the Templars. 154 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:32,140 And they came back and, gee, I don't know, they suddenly had a lot of money, a lot of gold, and a lot of knowledge. 155 00:13:32,140 --> 00:13:36,800 And they began constructing these temples, these Gothic cathedrals. 156 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:43,960 And these Gothic cathedrals, 500 of them went up in about 250 years in Europe. 157 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:50,200 And what happened was, as these cathedrals went up, everybody had to learn math. 158 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:51,420 They had to learn geometry. 159 00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:53,840 They had to learn how to communicate with each other. 160 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,900 Because these things had to be done because you had 800 or 900 people working on one of these things. 161 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,380 And just coordinating it in its own was a huge problem. 162 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:09,500 Remember that if you tried to build Notre Dame in Paris a day, it would cost around $400 billion. 163 00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:14,180 If you could find the artisans, which would be dubious, to say the least. 164 00:14:14,180 --> 00:14:20,440 Now, Paris, at the time this was built, was the size of Boulder, Colorado, about 100,000 people. 165 00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:25,900 You can imagine a town of Boulder, Colorado, raising $400 billion. 166 00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:29,520 Yet somehow they did, in their money. 167 00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:35,440 And so they built these cathedrals, and they built them everywhere, almost like some kind of Apollo program. 168 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,360 They were always built on the highest hill in every town. 169 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,400 If you go to Europe, you'll always see at the top of the highest hill, you know, the steeples of the church. 170 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:50,900 You, the only one in the MORSE in that neighborhood might be seen mostly because the mutations have been transmitted from a borderline to the power ofаете on their own. 171 00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:52,040 That way people can find a place where people certify them, and they run Rabbidsavвал, Russians as well so that you expect more goods. 172 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,100 If you've been building these temples, you're so estate you find all specialists and good resources. 173 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:55,160 I want you to go to Europe. 174 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,160 You
