1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,920
I don't want to cut in on any time of John's, but I do have a now it can be told story.

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,880
I was just talking to a guy outside during the break who went on a tour with John and

3
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,400
he said that was my first and only trip to Egypt and he said I think about it every single

4
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,400
day.

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,760
Isn't that beautiful?

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,960
And I've been to Egypt a number of times I used to work over there and I've shot half a million

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:44,460
pictures plus and when I was a monk, one of the monks came to me and he had this burning

8
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:52,760
desire to go to Egypt and he talked about this for years and so finally I told him I said

9
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:59,080
okay, here's what we'll do why don't you go try to line up a tour and I'll cover for you

10
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,600
and we won't tell anybody and you just split, just go to Egypt and he said well

11
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,760
I'd like to read about it, you know first to know more and I said well there's only one

12
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:14,640
guidebook worth reading and that's John's you know and so he was able to line up a tour

13
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,080
of this monk so he snuck out of the areshrum and went on a tour with John.

14
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Isn't that amazing?

15
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,720
Nobody knows this till now.

16
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,320
I won't name any names but the only other story I have to tell you it's like that one

17
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,280
of the monks has a friend who works for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

18
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,240
and his friend told him the Academy Awards are coming up I'd like to rent you a

19
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,920
toks and why don't you come to the Academy Awards and we'll get you a seat up front

20
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,640
and so this monk didn't tell anybody somebody came picked him up to come to the Academy Awards

21
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,720
and during the commercial breaks all the people run to the bars you know and hang out

22
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,840
and then they rush back to their seats so it's this continual going back this monk

23
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,240
who's for the first time at the Academy Awards finds himself standing next to the actress

24
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,440
live Olman at the bar and he tells me the next day when he's telling me this story he

25
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:19,040
said you know what next life I'm gonna be beautiful.

26
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Well next life I want to go on tours with John Antony West and I encourage all of you

27
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,360
to do the same.

28
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,360
John.

29
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,360
Thank you Craig.

30
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:35,080
You're young enough to go in this life I'm still going.

31
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Anyway since we start on this particular track I always have a sort of a table of contents

32
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,280
in my head when I start out and I'm talking at the end of the conference which I like

33
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,160
to do because then no one can contradict me and I can go on forever without them pulling

34
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,680
the hook.

35
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960
By the time I get to the bottom I'm getting ready talking about I forget that it's going

36
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:03,240
to be talking about because there's so much other interesting stuff that people have

37
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:11,160
been talking about that I want to comment on but this time since Craig introduces me like

38
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,040
that.

39
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Let me start it this way obviously my subject is Egypt and I often start the lecture with

40
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,880
this line because it tends to take to it tends to wake people up out of their torpor

41
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:34,360
which is now going on all afternoon and that is that Egypt is like sex that gets everybody's

42
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,000
attention.

43
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,200
Why does Egypt like sex and I mean this quite literally because you can read all about

44
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,520
it and that's a certain kind of information accurate no doubt and you can look at pictures

45
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,880
that's a different kind of emotion of information that hits a different center that's

46
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:59,880
interesting too but in fact you can't understand sex until you have experienced it

47
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:06,680
period you can know a lot but you can't understand it and Egypt is exactly like that

48
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,520
you can read books from Nadal Dunes and if you think this by the way is a plug for my

49
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560
trips it is.

50
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,120
If you think that you can read from Nadal Dunes there and there are a ton of good books

51
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,120
out there now and some but are not so good and you can look at all of the wonderful

52
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,320
pictures in the world you've been seeing a bunch of them over the course of today but

53
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:38,080
you can't actually experience it and Egypt is what it's it's major importance you might

54
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:45,920
say is it's not that it was necessarily the highest level of civilization ever achieved

55
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:53,280
by human beings but it is the highest level of civilization that we can still access

56
00:04:53,280 --> 00:05:00,840
in depth and come back with it viscerally in our emotional centers and and then in our

57
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:05,800
gut and nowhere else on earth can you do this you go to the great Gothic cathedrals which

58
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:14,440
is the supreme superb sacred art and you can go to the great mosques and temples of India

59
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:23,320
and the wonderful things in South America but nowhere nowhere is there this this onslaught

60
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:34,320
of sacred art and architecture and they have to day after day it's like as a bad analogy

61
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,480
it's like listening to all of Beethoven all of Bach and all of Mozart not necessarily

62
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:48,080
simultaneously but in sequence through very good speakers it after 14 days of Egypt and of

63
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:55,120
course if you don't get it if you don't see it through symbolist eyes I'll get into that in a moment

64
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,760
arily if you don't see it through symbolist eyes you really don't see it at all and the peculiar

65
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,480
thing is that symbolist Egypt that's the the interpretation the life work of the great French

66
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:17,120
actually Alsacean philosopher mathematician, Pythagorean or antelist with the unpronounceable name

67
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:24,480
R. A. Schvaler the l'Ubiques if he had been called Joe Dokes or Bill Smith everyone would have heard

68
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:34,480
about it but nobody can pronounce almost nobody could pronounce and he could pronounce Rene Schwa Leif

69
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,840
the l'Ubiques and get away with it but the rest of us can't so this is why nobody knows about

70
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:49,440
because they're ashamed to mispronounces name anyhow anyhow the so with Egypt they're only

71
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:58,080
on the handful of people who understand Schwa Leif's work it's quite impenetrable well enough to

72
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,480
retransmit it and I happen to be the only one who leads symbolist tours so either you go with me

73
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:13,760
or you don't get symbolist Egypt simple as that and and I have a trip going I do them continually

74
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,440
I do three or four a year nowadays with everybody scared stiff to go because the press and

75
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:26,000
suits of the media have scared everybody off and made its own does though it's Syria whereas in

76
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,320
reality it's probably a lot less dangerous and then Los Angeles it certainly less dangerous than

77
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:42,640
Chicago and but people are scared and no trip goes by without people asking is it safe and like anything

78
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:52,000
everything is safe until it isn't and if you break it down I mean if you look at try to look at it

79
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,680
rationally and fear is not a rational emotion if you try to look at it rationally and just say well

80
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:04,880
just how dangerous is it even if something happens while we're there the chances of view or me

81
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:12,160
being caught up in it about the same would be being struck by lightning it's I mean those are the chances

82
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,240
in fact I've been in Egypt in the 90s they were gunning for tourists now they're not gunning

83
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,760
for tourists well there are the tourists they had a gun for with a big big advantage when you're

84
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:33,440
going there and I did recently because I had addressed this all the time recently I did another

85
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,360
for a trip that's coming up in December another kind of update on is it safe or isn't it safe

86
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,200
and I did a little bit of research I live in the upper upstate New York and the in Ults

87
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,600
the County and I often use the image of how many times have you driven down the road and there's a

88
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,560
smoking wreck and the ambulance is a screaming and you see that this was some terrible accident you

89
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:02,000
see that it only happened about 10 minutes ago so what do you do you look at it and say 10 minutes

90
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,880
it's good thing I'm coming out 10 minutes earlier that could have been me but it wasn't you

91
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,600
so you drive on without giving it a second thought then I chased it down Ults the County

92
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:21,280
relatively tame county rather more let's say culturally oriented than some county in Utah but

93
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:29,840
nevertheless abrid sort of county and over the course of the year on average 1400 people die

94
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:36,560
in automobile accidents that's a lot of dead people does it stop anybody from driving no so

95
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,000
you just don't think about going to eat I mean you don't take that into consideration that's an

96
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,200
element of danger that said the next trip was coming up very soon but if everybody has or anybody has

97
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:58,720
the money and the will it leaves on December sorry that leaves October 21st and anybody interested

98
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:06,640
to go to my website or corner me here because I'm you know I'm available in public as long as

99
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:16,240
the conference goes on and we'll discuss it now I get started the some thoughts on what we've been

100
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:24,080
listening to most of the day many people have have had up on particularly pattern and number

101
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:34,640
and geometry and the the cosmological significance of of of the consensus of these elements

102
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:43,280
within the cosmic scheme and the absolute certainty that the ancients knew about these these

103
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:53,600
elegant, eloquent, elegant and sophisticated geometrical, numerological relationships but

104
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:04,320
my big question it's always written big question is a practical one what did they expect to

105
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:11,760
accomplish you can sort of ballpark it and say well they are in some way shape or form connecting

106
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:20,080
humanity at large connecting the particular the particular society a civilization that is

107
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:29,680
employing these complex cosmological constants in their architecture but what are they getting from it

108
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:36,800
and the answer is at the moment I don't even write we don't know and it would be very interesting

109
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,360
I would be fascinated and it's something not something not about to do because I don't have that

110
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:49,200
level of geometric or cosmological expertise at my fingertips it would be really interesting if we

111
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:58,000
had some sort of inkling of the practical aspects of doing that because we now know enough about

112
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:07,920
it just the knowledge that has been passed around by Alan and by by just on Scott and a few of the

113
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:15,920
other people there's a lot of knowledge that we now have the number of people have it how how could

114
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:25,840
we or how would we or how can we redeploy that kind of knowledge into our own society in such a way

115
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,440
that it actually makes a difference because what we have now and this is another thing going

116
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,520
back to Egypt you will forgive me if I digress or you won't forgive me I don't care that I

117
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:46,320
press any of that can't do anything else that what the important thing one of the important things

118
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:53,360
that that comes that comes through when we go to Egypt is that the end of the two weeks you

119
00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:00,960
really understand not just what a civilization consists of a true civilization that lasted even

120
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:09,040
in its diagnostic form 3500 years but you understand the contrast between it and what we call

121
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:18,560
civilization well we actually call it progress which I call shiny barbarism and it is a big it is a

122
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:26,560
come there they're they're almost diametric opposite if I battle on long enough we'll see maybe I'll

123
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:34,960
get into the five cowboys of Apocalypse 2.0 and and maybe the Jesuits of the Church of progress

124
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:41,760
who are science education and the press maybe we'll see if I get into that big surprise and

125
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:49,760
anyhow so this is this is this is one of the most important messages or let's say learning

126
00:13:49,760 --> 00:14:00,480
experience that comes out of Egypt the the the Eddie ecstatic experience of of of living

127
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:07,680
with sacred art and architecture at that level for that long and the intellectual understanding of

128
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:14,720
the difference between then and us and there is seriously a very big difference indeed so

129
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,800
that said there was something else I was about to get into and I just got it but let's see if

130
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:28,400
it comes back I what I want to go through shock when the other things I like about going last is that

131
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:35,040
I don't have to repeat stuff I can cut out from what I was going to talk about in the first place

132
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:45,040
and certain cases implement what others have spoken about so in this case what I want to do is

133
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:52,880
show you first I'll I'll just zip through because shock has done a lot of this but I have a number

134
00:14:52,880 --> 00:15:03,840
of the pieces of pictorial of slides of Egypt that don't illustrate certain of the points that

135
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:10,400
shock has made very very perfectly adequately but the pictures the pictures implemented and then

136
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:17,200
I have some funny stories it's all around them so let's see what comes up next wait whoops this is just

137
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:25,360
why is this not happening you see this is wait why is that not going on

138
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:38,480
help help what am I doing I screwed up something already technology technology and I don't get

139
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:47,680
on showing the zero you said you were going to be what am I doing wrong oh see I

140
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:58,160
I sabotaged the machine I didn't touch the machine and already it's gone now he brought it back

141
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:08,320
okay now which window I press this right that's one I press that okay see it's after it's after me

142
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:17,920
it's me really anyway this is just a wonderful particularly good particularly good

143
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:25,360
black and white infrared picture of the strengths and in all of its regal in all of its regal splendour

144
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:34,800
the next one is why the great strengths cannot have been weathered by wind and sand because

145
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,480
there it is in the 20th century early 20th century and this is what happened if it happens if you don't

146
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:48,480
scoop out the sand and keep it scooped out within 15 or 20 years it builds back up here left another

147
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:56,240
10 15 years it would be it would have it would have the sand would have built up so that all you would

148
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,400
see is just ahead above the level of the sand so what this means from a scholarly point of view

149
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:12,560
in a scientific point of view is if the academics who I call quackedemics were insistent upon upon

150
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:22,000
saying that it's been weathered by wind and sand and many of them still do you can prove actually

151
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:29,920
through the text that the swing says been covered up to the neck in sand for about at least 3000

152
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:36,800
of the 15 of the 30 of the 45 hundred years that have elapsed since it's been constructed and

153
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:44,000
self-evident to all but the few that once it's covered up with sand it can't weather so that leaves

154
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,280
and the weathering as we will see is very very extreme one of the one of the projects shock and I

155
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,840
have paramount in our minds is getting over there with a panel of geologists with their

156
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,920
varying very specialties various forms of expertise that are relevant to actually putting a

157
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:14,000
date on the swings because so far we can't do it all the chalk was saying up to now is speculation

158
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,960
and all that I will be saying just right now is more speculation will show you why that's

159
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:26,640
consequential the other one other the other things of course we talked about it being we talked about it being

160
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:36,000
the swings is being supposedly the face of cofferad the the builder of the supposed the

161
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:43,120
builder of the second pyramid so we continue this is the face supposedly this is the face of

162
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:50,880
the swings in its recarve form and you see in profile that it looks very definitely

163
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:59,440
African and sub-saharan African it has been recarved what does this mean what was it

164
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,480
what it was it before we don't know and until the run less they invent some kind of technological

165
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:12,800
curly infotography that can film capture the picture of what it was before it was recarved we'll never

166
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,560
know so it might have been it might have been the same face but just got so weathered that they

167
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:25,920
had to recarbit or it might have been a lion fully holy the body of a lion might have been a queen

168
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:32,240
could have been female nobody really knows anyway and here's the and the next one here's here's

169
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:40,480
the face of cofferad just keep those in your head for a second okay there's there's the head of

170
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:48,640
cofferad and you see with his with the falcon assimilated into the consciousness of the of the

171
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,880
Pharaoh this is to implement in fact a truck shot was talking about about the bird-ed the bird

172
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:02,080
man and so on Horace is the is the bird that represents the return to the source for reasons all

173
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:10,800
of the animals and the insects and everything used in Egyptian symbology has a cosmic

174
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:18,800
and a spiritual and an esoteric side to it so in this case the the Horace falcon is assimilated

175
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:24,960
into the head of the Pharaoh and the message that comes through and it's a brilliant message

176
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:31,840
because when we're there in the museum and I'm not sure if I even have it on my slides but when you

177
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:40,480
approach the when you approach this up total master masterful statue whoops lad

178
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:51,680
no that's not what I want them it I'm telling you it hates me okay oh here we go

179
00:20:52,960 --> 00:21:01,280
you you see how it how it it Horace Horace represents the return to the source the return to the light

180
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:08,800
and so here you have the the the the falcon the Horace falcon assimilated into the head of the

181
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,840
consciousness of the Pharaoh and with his wings spread down here now if you come at the

182
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:20,640
statue from the front the way you would approach it you don't actually see the falcon there you

183
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,040
have to go around the side to see that there's a falcon and what the message is the unspoken

184
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:35,600
message is that the divinized or enlightened man or woman doesn't look any different from

185
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:41,760
anyone else it's only when you go around to the side you see the falcon of enlightenment is there

186
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,080
so this is an important lesson we see lots of those kinds of lessons in Egypt now we get into

187
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:58,240
so originally this is why I need lots of time the idea was once we once we just got some money

188
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:07,280
together and decided to go over and and make a film of of our work one of the things that we

189
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:19,040
had to counter was that in the 80s was since the early 20th century the the sphinx has been

190
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:25,040
it's been believed that the sphinx the face of the sphinx represents the face of coffra we just saw

191
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:32,240
the face of coffra in a great statue and here so what I originally want to do we're making a video

192
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,720
and the loyal opposition in the form of mark liner and a couple of the other guys mark especially

193
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:46,560
in the middle 80s he did a kind of an early computer study and it wasn't very sophisticated because

194
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:55,040
the computers weren't that sophisticated but he he did a computer study of kind of took the measures

195
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:03,360
or they he took the actual the the coffra head and that's in the museum the one that we just saw

196
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:09,360
and then he plunted on top of the body of the swings and said a hot looks like coffra after all

197
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,040
well this is not very sound science but this got a lot of press in New York Times some

198
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,960
Smithsonian magazine national geographic all of these things normal I wouldn't felt it necessary to

199
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:31,440
to to repute a that that that connection but because it was so well known we felt we had to do something

200
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:37,440
so I had the idea of using exactly that same technique but plunking down the head of Elvis

201
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:45,280
on top of the swings and and proving that the swings was really Elvis this was everybody was in

202
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:53,520
favor of this idea except the Elvis foundation there there is such a thing they wouldn't let us use

203
00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:00,800
Elvis's figure I Elvis would be turning over and this grave he loved to be the swings so next best

204
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:06,960
immediately my partner in this came up with the idea of bringing in the forensic artist to do

205
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,640
comparative studies of the head which is the the the Elvis connection is a great joke but it isn't

206
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:20,000
the exactly science but getting a forensic artist to compare the heads is so we no time flat we had

207
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:26,400
it's frankly me go is the senior forensic detective of the NYPD to come and do these studies

208
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,920
which took a long time you think they look simple they were weeks of days of standing on trucks to

209
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:37,280
get exactly the right angles so you can get the things together and here you see what's obvious to

210
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:42,960
anybody seeing looking at the at the the statue of Koffra that these two these two figures are

211
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,720
completely different even though the head the even though the face has been severely

212
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,800
defeated of the swings itself you have these reference points these angles which are drastically

213
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:01,840
different in the actual statue of Koffra the men goes conclusion was that on the no circumstances

214
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:12,000
whatsoever could competent sculptors create the same the the swings and the Koffra image out of

215
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,200
the same human being and my criminal partner who without him the whole thing never would have

216
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,880
happened but he stole 150 thousand dollars from the till so we could never carry on our work anyway

217
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,960
that's another long story not not for now and he had a really great line when he got this news

218
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:37,120
from Franklin the mango he said boy he said this is the academics this is bad news and worse news

219
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,760
the bad news is that they were that there was an Atlantis and the worst news is that there were black

220
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:54,160
an interesting sidelight to that is that after we got Franklin mango's work in the a actually

221
00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:00,800
I think it when it was exactly 93 no 93 was the video 95 no even earlier it's late 80 somewhere

222
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:08,400
a long line um I had an op-ed piece to do for the New York Times and I carefully left out that

223
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:17,040
sub-saharan African connection because the Egyptians are as prejudiced as everyone else and the

224
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,040
last thing they want to know is that the swings has comes from you know deep into the

225
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:30,800
middle of Africa so I left that out but about three weeks later the times printed a letter from an

226
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:40,240
orthodontist a Massachusetts orthodontist it's never another kind of expert in physiognomy and

227
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,480
expert in faces who said hey didn't anybody notice that the swings is sub-saharan African so it's not me

228
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:55,760
saying it anymore somebody else anyway so let us continue okay now this is this is the depth

229
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:01,600
of the weathering this is a close-up of the extent of the weathering and here's a little anecdote

230
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:07,920
that chalk didn't tell but now it's okay to tell these swarming to secrecy which is a bad thing to do

231
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:15,440
any have when when we first started out but when we finally scraped together a few dollars to get over

232
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:23,440
the age of for our preliminary investigation and chalk was as cautious as anybody could possibly be

233
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,160
I mean in two the week that we were there we could get a declarative sentence out of them but

234
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:34,960
he was looking and but he was reaction when he walked into the enclosure we walked into the

235
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:42,560
enclosure this is the this is the weathering this is the weathering on the on the rear on the side wall

236
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:53,920
of the swings and and when we when we walked into the enclosure everybody else that's a gas when

237
00:27:53,920 --> 00:28:01,440
you're in the presence of this spectacular work of sculpture arguably the best on the face of the planet

238
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:08,080
but chalk of the geologist and he saw the rocks and he said wow these rocks look like

239
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:16,240
their hundreds of thousands of years old and that he said don't quote me on that so I haven't until

240
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:24,880
lately but now he's at the closet so I can I can do it anyway that this this gives you an idea

241
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:31,200
this gives you a graphic idea of the kind of weathering what's involved here and this is why

242
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,840
we're so anxious to get over there whether or not we can actually date it we don't know but it

243
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:44,960
could even be my sense of it is in the Egyptians themselves talk about in the texts well as a stone

244
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:54,400
steel a colopalermostone that and a very ruinous but reconstructed papyrus called the Torino the Turin

245
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,120
papyrus because that's where these are lodged not that they have anything to do with polarmo and

246
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Torino respectively that where the Egyptians themselves are talking about long rains when they have

247
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:14,960
god kings the nature of themselves which I take to mean human beings who are fully

248
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:22,000
exalted and fully divinized and they give the names of the kings and their regular years and then another

249
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:30,480
long list of semi-divine rulers called the Shamsu Hor which means the the followers of the

250
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:37,680
companions of Horace and again the names of the kings and the and their regular years and when you

251
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:46,400
put that all together you get about 34,000 years, 34, 36,000 years allowing for certain gaps and

252
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,320
look when I'm so on so this is the Egyptians themselves talking about their own history but

253
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,320
cost today's quacketemics have PhDs from somewhere and others so they want to more about

254
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:06,000
inter-dejipian history than the Egyptians themselves but we don't necessarily have to exceed to that

255
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:15,840
to that conceit and when Shakwas talking earlier about the dates one of the one of the striking

256
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:26,080
things about the swings is that it reeks of a Leo connection and when the sun rises on the

257
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:36,800
vernaly quinox the last time that the swings looked at its own image in the sky was around 10,511,000

258
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:47,920
BC or thereabouts and this is a figure that Hancock and Bobo have zeroed in on and originally

259
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,520
I thought maybe so too but although when I developed the theory to start off with in the

260
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:59,680
serpents in the sky I had no geology to go with and I had to couldn't find a geologist to talk with

261
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:07,520
so I went with the Egyptians themselves at 34, 36,000 without connecting it you know through

262
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:16,880
archaeo astronomy but given the but the Egyptians themselves are telling us the processional age

263
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:27,360
prior to 10,000 or thereabouts BC is in fact about 35, 36,000 BC so I'll go with that for the moment

264
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,480
but it occurs to me given the depth of the of the weathering and Shakwas and even

265
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:39,360
necessarily disagree with it but it could be even older than that and some of the speakers today

266
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,280
over the course of the day we're talking about these you know these the cycles going much

267
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:53,120
much further back than not recorded history stops at about 3500 BC but way way back following the

268
00:31:53,120 --> 00:32:04,480
processional cycles anyway to continue okay all of these all of these are just examples of the

269
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:11,600
weathering and where we're walking there you see that that that the you see that we're on a shelf here

270
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:18,080
a substantial shelf and the original wall is weathered back from that and when you look at some of the

271
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:26,080
deeper weathering let's say there we are, me standing in the deep deep, deep crevice when you're in there

272
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:33,280
you can see that it's almost it's hard to imagine you know have been you know the sea weathering like this

273
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,200
on the on the face of the planet certainly nothing that you would associate with with you know with it

274
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:45,680
with a civilization so anyway now more more bits of pieces and I'm going to whip by some of these

275
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,680
this is the cough up pyramid second pyramid and you see that it's built in stage or anyway

276
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:57,520
that there are two very different styles of masonry here there are these gigantic blocks which are

277
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:04,320
similar to the kind of construction around the temple of the swamp and then piled on top of this

278
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:12,960
much right much much rougher core masonry which we will we agree probably was put on there by

279
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:20,960
cough rock but whenever you see two different radically different styles of masonry within the same

280
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:27,680
structure you know automatically that you're dealing with two different periods of construction

281
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:33,840
if you buy a nice Victorian house and it's got an archaic key a kitchen in it nice new shiny kitchen

282
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:41,440
do you say poor these were pretty advanced Victorians hey look at that a dishwasher and you know

283
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:50,080
I know a microwave wow no you say somebody put a knife here kitchen into this nice Victorian house anyway

284
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:58,000
everywhere actually everywhere but egyptology does this this this prevail not when it's two

285
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,800
different two different styles of architecture and no doubt we love built but it's same people

286
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:10,800
here another this you see these these are the paving blocks around the around the

287
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:22,640
cough up pyramid this is one block like this is one block that's one block and

288
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:32,000
that's the block scene edge on so that that block that I showed you about 20 by 30 feet there's

289
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:39,120
six to eight feet thick and the question then becomes even if they've squared dinastic

290
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:46,880
Egyptian how the devil did they do that and then the question again why did they do it I mean

291
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,760
that they have to have had some reason they were not showing off to anybody who could build the

292
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,720
put down the biggest block with the smallest tolerance between the joints no they have to have

293
00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:02,960
had some reason or another those who think that the aliens built the pyramids

294
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:11,520
of a position I do not have a lot of sympathy with say that they could have been

295
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:18,560
that's why they needed landing pads for their spaceships but the spaceships are pretty buoyant

296
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,840
you would think having come from Mars or the Pleiades or whatever and they wouldn't need this

297
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:32,880
kind of of structure to to support their their their their pyramids or their their their

298
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:39,840
paving sounds but this brings me back again I said I digress what I get back to it on on the purpose

299
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:45,600
of all of this well all of the extraordinary geometry the geometric constants the fly and the

300
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:52,720
E and all of these figures incorporated into their structures they have to have had some

301
00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:03,520
probably intellectualized and articulate reason for doing this or maybe not even articulated but

302
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:10,240
they knew it was very they knew it was very important to do it and I mean things have you do things

303
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:20,320
some purpose or another and this is sorry this is a this is a major question I mean this is

304
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:25,840
something that's a real consequence to us as we see and I will take issue with one of our

305
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:31,040
speakers today that everything is really okay I don't think they'll pay at all and it's going to

306
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:41,520
hell in a hand basket in a big big hurry and it it is it is very important for us individually

307
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:48,400
and collectively if we're going to get anything accomplished at all to come to some kind of

308
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,240
a coherent understanding of why they were doing what they were doing and to see if in some way

309
00:36:54,240 --> 00:37:00,160
or another we can get into that kind of this isn't even a mindset it's a kind of heart set

310
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:07,600
that would impel us to do the kinds of structures or to reproduce not reproduce but to

311
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:15,040
in our own way to do the kind of sacred art and sacred architecture that has the kinds of effect

312
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:20,320
on us and I'll get to this in a bit that sacred art and real sacred art and architecture has I don't

313
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:28,480
know how many of you have been say to the cathedral of Shaka many not so many or to Egypt of you right

314
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:36,320
yeah not so many it's not until you go there like sacks until you've experienced it you don't really

315
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:46,960
understand it and of you know fitting things to fitting activities carried out for a specific purpose

316
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:54,000
is you have to know what your purpose is which always remind me I'm a student of the Gourge F work

317
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,960
and there's a story told about Gourge F I don't know how many of you know about him extraordinary

318
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:06,880
and controversial man but he there's a story about him told by one of his pupils he's Gourgef was

319
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:14,880
talking about school that he had of seekers who were doing complex experiments in raising

320
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:22,320
consciousness and he told whoever this was that they even succeeded in making a sheep

321
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,360
conscious and the obvious question is well what did you do with it and he said we ate it

322
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,000
there's more to this than you think it's not just a wise ass answer

323
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:40,960
so I leave that with you because I can't explain to D the Gourgef you never know if he was pulling

324
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,160
your leg or if he wasn't pulling your leg but there's no point in making a sheep conscious that's

325
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,680
what you can do with eat it you want to use higher consciousness for some other reason

326
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:56,320
okay that's more on holding rocks this is the Ozeran I'm going to zip by some of this stuff now

327
00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:04,560
another another instance of of earlier construction a good friend of mine is about to publish

328
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:12,720
in this inside in the chambers in here and on the other side there are lots of inscriptions

329
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,640
and a good friend of mine and they're astronomically based and a good friend of mine is decoded

330
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:29,200
them proving that the Egyptians are are very in a very sophisticated fashion painting

331
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:39,360
inscribing reliefs that have to do with with reconciling the cycles of the sun and the

332
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,960
cycles of the moon and procession so this and so this is all over Egypt actually a lot of the

333
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:50,880
architecture whatever the symbolism whatever the obvious meaning of the symbolism or the the

334
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:58,080
apparent meaning of the symbolism often it is astronomical astrological and it is doing something

335
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:04,400
but I'm not sure what since my question again of what is what is the intention behind all of

336
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:13,440
that not just all of that sacred science but of of of um manifested it in this particular fashion

337
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:20,080
anyway this is Ozerian which is one of the most potent to one of the most resonance of of

338
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:27,200
Egyptian of Egyptian architecture and there's the Ozerian again it gets covered up with water now

339
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,800
because of water table is risen and you get a sense here it's a sense of scale of the size of the

340
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:39,040
of the blocks as mine boggling we continue now over to go back to the tapis shock covered that

341
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:46,080
in an excellent detail but this is an artist's rendition of it early and you get of course it's

342
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:52,800
an artist's rendition but you do get a sense of the unclatered you know when it's not a

343
00:40:52,800 --> 00:41:00,160
jungle as it is when you when they excavate it of what they probably not too accurate but you do

344
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:07,040
get a sense of of the of the overall picture and of course it goes whoops whoops whoops

345
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:19,280
and and of course the whole um the whole thing goes it covers up all over the rest of the hill

346
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:25,200
and there are some 20 odd of these stone structures and I think shock is probably almost certainly

347
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:32,960
correct in seeing astronomical differences in astronomical orientations that they're each of

348
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,160
each one of these is illustrating one of those things which brings us back to the same question

349
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:44,080
Stonehenge really are tossing around 40 ton blocks carefully orienting them to certain

350
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:50,480
equinocts or celestial and equinoctial points but for what um they're getting something from this

351
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:59,040
that we don't know okay here's go back to the tapis shock covered all of that oh this is a

352
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:06,000
little one he didn't cover but this is pretty intriguing this is a little bead that was found

353
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,840
in go back to the tapis and you see there's little bead that somebody's hand so there's a small

354
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:19,760
bead and it was presumably um part of a necklace and you're looking at the hole that's drilled

355
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:25,840
and there's very hard stone which is I think a porphyry and presumably there's a whole necklace full of

356
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:33,920
such stones and it makes you wonder well what are they drilling with and okay with some you know

357
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,840
hunter gatherer who's been in an argument with his wife and he says do something that

358
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,760
gets her back on my side so he says I know what got these hard little chunks of stone

359
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:52,400
I'll cut a hole through the stone string them all together and you know she'll be okay again but

360
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:59,120
you know you see but because a lot of these things when you look at them

361
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:06,400
what is the motive and you imagine how much work it was how it would be I mean we don't know how they did it

362
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:12,400
we don't know why they did it and this is a big deal this little bead and then let's keep going

363
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,600
you see more now this one this is another hunter gatherer one this is found in Turkey recently

364
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:23,360
it's a bracelet made of obsidian which is a practically impenetrable stone and

365
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:35,200
and they the archaeologist found that the you know the ornament not ornamentation but the

366
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:42,240
way that this is the way that this is cut is is very complex geometrically so again you've got this

367
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:46,880
okay hunter gatherer as they just shot or I know persons that we've got food for a month or so

368
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:53,680
so what should we do now is that let's let's do something for the old lady and so

369
00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:02,960
cut this thing out of obsidian and and then one of them says yeah but it looks too regular what's

370
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:12,240
invent geometry and and decorate the stone but this is dated this one is dated to 8000 BC

371
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:17,920
so these are smart hunter gatherers and another thing on the subject of hunter gatherers

372
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:25,760
there's a story about the American Indians that we're talking about the settlers recently I read

373
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:32,880
that there was there's never been a record of any Indian native American wanting to learn

374
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:39,040
Western culture none and and then there's a story and I'm not sure if it's true story or someone

375
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:45,280
just made up of of of of an Indian saying you know before the white man came you know our

376
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:51,360
ladies our women did all of the the gardening and the plowing and we went out and we hunted and we

377
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,640
fished all day long and now they're coming around telling us which you learn their ways and farm

378
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:06,880
we'd have to be crazy to want to do that so this is this is the consideration with we automatically

379
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:16,800
take hunter gatherers as inferior in inferior lifestyle to our own and it isn't necessarily I mean

380
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:24,400
yeah they don't have you know iPhones or anything of that sort but maybe it wasn't so bad if you

381
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:29,920
all you have to do is go outside your tent or whatever or your hot wherever you were living and shoot

382
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,680
you know with a bow and arrow whatever happened to you walking by and having food for a couple of months

383
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:41,040
this is not the worst way to live necessarily and even on the esoteric side even on the

384
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:52,960
on the spiritual side we are again assuming that sophistication requires literacy technology all of these

385
00:45:52,960 --> 00:46:00,080
things but actually for anybody here I probably you get this maybe not having to articulate it

386
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:05,360
to help anybody involved in any kind of a genuine spiritual discipline which doesn't mean a

387
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:10,400
car a sponge and scores in something it means a practice without a practice it isn't anything

388
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:18,240
but when you practice virtually anything particularly anything having to do with with movement

389
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:27,600
with dance or something like that you you could you could be in a in a constant state of

390
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:36,560
put it this way a constant state of ecstasy if the only way the only practice you had was dance

391
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:42,160
and we don't know where these people you know what what was what was the state of mind

392
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:47,280
what the state of heart that they lived in as they were living all of these years oh hunter

393
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:54,640
gathers no this is maybe they were hunter gathers but maybe they were a lot more advanced than we are

394
00:46:54,720 --> 00:47:02,000
just as for example at living example the shamans of the rainforest they can't write they can't read

395
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:11,920
but they could figure out iowasca and not rationally there are 90 thousand plants in the rain forest

396
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,960
and these are two completely undistinguished looking plants that don't grow anywhere near each other

397
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:23,520
and in order to put them together one fixes that I forget what chemical it is that has in it

398
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:32,960
TMT maybe I forget and one is a poison and the body would reject it instantly and the other fixes

399
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:39,920
it so that even though it's pretty violent it's definitely not for the faint of heart but it fixes

400
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:47,760
it so that you go you take it and you have all of these extraordinary what a lack of a better

401
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:55,200
word spiritual experiences well how did they invent who who discovered iowasca how to do it

402
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:00,480
I have some quotes actually in serpent in the sky of some guy saying well it must have been

403
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:07,680
trial and error that did it you have a trial and error imagine you have 90 thousand plants in the

404
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,400
rain forest so they go around they collect 90 thousand them and then they say well let's put

405
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:17,920
this one with this one and this one with this one no they have to have they have to have had

406
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:28,560
they have to be able to observe emotionally maybe not maybe not intellectually even they have to

407
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:36,400
observe emotionally the soul of that plant if it's alive it has a soul the soul of that plant

408
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,280
and something tells them to put this one with this one and then has to go through a whole bunch of

409
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:46,800
processes as we boil to a certain way and then re-boiled and then re-boiled and then outcomes this

410
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:55,120
absolutely horrible tasting stuff that produces these extraordinary effects so you don't need

411
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:04,000
you don't need our sophistication and you don't need I would disagree with John Longwall that

412
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:09,760
writing is and and agree basically with Plato that writing is is a step backward in a way

413
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:18,080
it we deprive us of the need for our memory and also words change putting splitting things in writing

414
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:25,600
is not a good way to keep them connected languages change enormously and I mean Shakespeare anybody

415
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:31,280
who says they can read Shakespeare just like that and understand all of it without a glossary there

416
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:37,120
that says will by this he's means it's the same word we use but the meaning has changed sometimes

417
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:43,440
into its opposite and you go further back who the devil can read Chaucer at all so the language

418
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:48,560
changes but the myths don't because it doesn't matter what the language becomes you can tell

419
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:56,960
you can convey the myths which by the way are not fanciful stories as John was saying they're

420
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:02,240
not fanciful stories but what actually what they are the true myths on some of them come

421
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:11,360
resonating down through the ages the true myths are the dramatization of the interplay of cosmic

422
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,720
principles so you don't need to know the history and you don't need to know how to read and write

423
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:29,840
they the true myth connects viscerally to us and we resonate to us we resonate to it and the myth

424
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:38,080
can be told and retold and retold and with variations but it will it will continue to resonate

425
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:46,800
depending upon the you might say the brilliance of its of its reformulations so ISIS as Iris

426
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:54,880
Horace if you read the myth is kind of tough to read really I mean you don't it's you don't react to

427
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:02,640
it especially Hamlet we do react to Hamlet is by the way is the recreation or a retelling of the

428
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:11,040
ISIS as Iris Horace myth. In fact absolutely obvious that was missed by most of the drama critics

429
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:19,600
this is not surprising and then recently I don't know how many of you saw it how many of you saw the

430
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:27,040
movie not played the movie of the lion king lots of people see that yeah lots of people saw that

431
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:34,640
well somebody that's ISIS as Iris and Horace again it's the Hamlet story and there are some interesting

432
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:41,600
bits in there I forget who the who the screenwriter was but there's a point in there with little

433
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:49,440
lion cub is looking up at the sky and pointing to the stars and he says to his father lion

434
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:55,920
king what are those and the lion king says those are the souls of dead kings well that's not part of Hamlet

435
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:02,720
that's not an Hamlet but it is part of the part of the Egyptian pyramid texts and a shock was talking

436
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:12,400
about earlier it's a stretch perhaps I mean there's no point even bringing up such a subject to a

437
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:19,200
clacodemic so you better off just keeping your mouth shut but it is worth considering that

438
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:28,080
the soul whatever the soul stuff is it's very very verified and who would hate to say that the

439
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:34,960
universe just coagulates accidentally out of a lot of gas they're mostly a lot of gas but the universe

440
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:44,400
those what it knows what it's doing so anyway so the myth the true myths resonate down through the

441
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:54,480
ages and are a much wet better way of communicating real knowledge because everybody will understand

442
00:52:54,480 --> 00:53:02,240
it on his or her own level nowadays to understand cosmology you have to be an astrophysicist or

443
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:08,560
I mean really a mathematically adept which I certainly am not but I can understand the

444
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:15,920
I just those iris horrors met out of at a very let's say at a very emotional satisfy satisfactory

445
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:25,360
level so okay more ancient technology this is like I'll go through quickly but this is

446
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:32,080
perfect example this is hollowed out the walls of this very hard green shift green chest

447
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:38,960
bars are the width of the thickness of the lip of that now the question how the devil says

448
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:46,960
they hollow it out we don't know and the explanations that have been given are are pretty preposterous

449
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:54,000
and it's thought we think actually that is just possible shock was talking about this that

450
00:53:54,320 --> 00:54:02,000
after this giant CME event which I think is pretty well established after that giant event

451
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:10,880
the whole the whole planet went into let's say a civilization freefall and so we're wondering

452
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,640
it's more sophisticated than you think actually because if you go to a museum

453
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:22,800
Cairo museum there's a little tray full of couple of casement windows full of pre-denastic things

454
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:28,640
but some of those pre-denastic things this is one are very very sophisticated and not too long ago

455
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:34,800
the the met put together a new york put together a origins of Egyptian art show and there

456
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:39,920
were certain things in it a lot of it was fairly crude pottery and cones and those things like that

457
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:51,280
but some of it was elegantly realized small but polished beautiful sculptures and so we wonder if

458
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,560
maybe these are artifacts from that still earlier civilization because it's sort of weird that they

459
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:04,640
should be producing you know they should be producing mostly just crudely thrown or relatively

460
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:10,880
crudely thrown pots and at the same time we producing these things that we wouldn't we wouldn't have

461
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:20,400
a clue how to produce today okay these are just more algebraic but on the subject of hiding out from

462
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:28,240
you know from from a CMA or or a next CMA these are in sardinia which is one of the best

463
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:35,040
kept archaeological archaeological sites on the planet these are sardinia full of these incredible

464
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:43,040
structures called niragi which they date to around 2600 BC but we think it's shocking myself that

465
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:48,320
maybe they got them wrongly dated and they date for much much earlier anyway they're pretty amazing

466
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:55,200
that's the ceiling of one of them that's a dome without any you know without any keystones or anything

467
00:55:55,200 --> 00:56:02,720
just just formed out of the rough rock this is not the playa the stone circle in stone circle in

468
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:11,120
southwestern Egypt which even though it looks like a jungle is in fact it's demonstrably

469
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:20,720
employing very sophisticated astronomical alignments and they date it not us they dated to at least

470
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:27,360
6000 to so BC so 6000 BC they've already got their astronomy together and it's already important enough

471
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:35,440
for them to integrate it into their structures okay that's another not to apply that's just a schematic of it now here's

472
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:49,680
this is they really shouldn't we go back shock us talking before of of of dealing with with the

473
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:56,800
opposition and the notion of of of ancient sophisticated civilization this is the most recent the

474
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:05,360
most recently discovered of the Paleolithic caves in France it's called Cave of Shove

475
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:11,920
and what's different about it the other the others with the mut with the really fabulous

476
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:18,240
painting our ultimera and lasco with the whole of the bulls that everyone's probably familiar with

477
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:27,440
and these are dated to around 17 by stratigraphy and other means stratigraphy to about 17 or 19,000

478
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:35,840
BC so if they're hunter and gather as the 17, 19,000 BC but they're painting like Picasso you should

479
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:40,400
if you have your mind working a little bit correctly say hey wait a minute

480
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:48,880
hunt primitive hunter gatherers who paint like Picasso and Picasso in fact learn from them

481
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:59,600
doesn't necessarily not necessarily a convincing connection but here this is Shovey and this one

482
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:08,000
day the quacketemics not make the quacketemics date this one to 31,000 BC or older and this is by far

483
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:15,600
the most sophisticated of all the cave art that they had so again the question arises they're master

484
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:21,440
painters they may be wearing bare skins and they may be whatever else they're doing you know eating

485
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:28,320
raw rhinoceros because they're too lazy to cook and they don't have a big enough oven but

486
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:38,560
but this is this is fabulous art and my contention is that great artists I know some very

487
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:44,560
good ones and they're not primitives great artists are not primitive people they can look at

488
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:51,280
either cave art is the horses I mean this is wonderful stuff and it's much more sophisticated than

489
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:57,280
even these photographs suggest because they use perspective and things go around corners and

490
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:04,480
and why they're again the question arises what is it that they are trying to demonstrate usual

491
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:11,040
explanation oh well this is just hunting fetish stuff they're painting all of the stuff on the walls

492
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:16,080
so that they can go out and hunt and the animals will sort of fall down in front of them and

493
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:23,840
they can they can just eat them now that's to me that's not a good enough explanation

494
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,960
but what you're having this is what I'm saying though that when you're dealing with the date

495
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:40,080
and I mean it's a nightmare story of getting the French archaeologists to accept that the

496
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:47,520
paleolithic caves are ancient caves when they were first discovered I think in the 1870s Hancock has a big

497
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:54,800
chapter it's a really good chapter and one of his books I guess it's supernatural on the battle to

498
00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:00:02,960
get to prove I mean to get the establishment they get the quacketemic establishment to acknowledge that

499
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:10,320
these are actually ancient but these are actually artifacts of a very ancient civilization

500
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:17,120
I mean people the people who are working on it committed suicide a few of them because they just couldn't handle

501
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:24,400
the opposition that was so rabidly against them because it was it was actually overthrown

502
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:29,200
their pet paradigm which are who'll come to when my usual security fashion shortly

503
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:38,880
that's whoops on here the same one that's Boris my criminal partner swinging the digital

504
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:49,760
sledge that is going to reveal the the chamber medital the need the the the the

505
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,920
paws of the swings now we're going to zip ahead that when you saw already at the swings

506
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:02,960
um now we get the symbol of the steed jipped and what time is it come it's time do I have left

507
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:13,600
oh yeah is that a challenge? Bill we will see about that

508
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,240
515 what time am I supposed to be finished?

509
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:24,160
I can't see out okay I can't see that hey can somebody bring me I forgot to

510
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:31,600
it I think of water was Brian we're Sean Sean around anybody some water zika you there somewhere

511
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:44,000
okay so again as briefly as possible which is never very briefly when Schroller came to Egypt in

512
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:49,760
1937 he had been brought up without even going into biogorovian who's brought up he was a practicing

513
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:56,480
alchemist or a antelist mathematician he'd been brought up in a scientific household as father was a

514
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:04,800
chemist and early on he was not a fiascifist but connected with the acety you kind of a boy wonder

515
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:11,280
he's he's first little pamphlet at age 16 was about patechary and mathematics anyway

516
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,160
I originally thought I couldn't find out much about him

517
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:21,920
researching trying to research it even I worked extensively with his stepdaughter when I was writing

518
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:28,240
when I was writing serpents in the sky which by the way is not for sale thank you thanks

519
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:47,920
I'm what is held up yeah which yeah that's fine thanks which which is not for sale

520
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,560
and the bookshelf here because my stupid publish is sent the wrong book that's not my fault

521
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:58,640
you can't go um that's what published that's why from now on I do self publishing

522
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:07,280
among other reasons anyway Schroller was very interested particularly in the in the west

523
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:14,880
in western her metacism and I originally thought that he went to Egypt in 1937 just on a holiday

524
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:20,400
he was very lucky that he had a wife who was both beautiful and rich good luck

525
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:29,360
and so he didn't have to work for a living he could just be a full-time genius and

526
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:36,240
get his work done actually his wife helped a lot with his work they so he went to Egypt but he was

527
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:43,440
looking for the basis of the hermatic disciplines which from time immemorial from the

528
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:49,440
plateness the neoplateness on through the renaissance the sages of the renaissance all of them

529
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:57,120
believed that their knowledge derived from Egypt all of them but once rational so-called

530
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:05,120
rationalist science materialist science took over it became a kind of heresy to acknowledge that

531
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:14,240
the Egyptians actually had a very sophisticated civilization get into this in a bit too the

532
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:25,600
the so-shallish while her when and what he was looking for specifically was the use and

533
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:31,920
when he walked when he went into when he went into into the temple of Luxor here this is an

534
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:38,160
aerial view as you say and here is the temple and you see it's totally ruinous but even there you get a

535
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:42,720
sense you get a sense that it's built you see this is all the skewed off to the side here

536
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:50,560
and that it's it's actually built on on several axes and Schwaller going through this temple and

537
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:56,640
I believe me when you're in on the ground level it's quite fantastic I mean it's enormous temple

538
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:09,680
but you Schwaller had this what let's say what mystics call a revelation and artists call an inspiration

539
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:16,240
and scientists call a hypothesis formation in order to make it sound as boring as possible

540
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:23,440
so Schwaller had such a hypothesis formation which was that this whole temple was an exercise in

541
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:31,040
harmony and proportion temple was built around 1300 BC harmony and proportion of supposedly inventions

542
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:39,280
of Pythagoras or any way certain of the Greeks about a thousand years later and so Schwaller

543
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:46,480
started put his anchors down and decided to stay in Egypt and to see if he could show that

544
01:05:48,240 --> 01:06:01,600
this was that this extraordinary you know double axis structure was incorporated harmony and proportion

545
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:07,600
and he was incredibly lucky and that the French mission there at the time was surveying the temple

546
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:13,760
to the millimetre so he had exact measurements to work with and he very swiftly proved to his own

547
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:20,400
satisfaction and anybody else's in fact to care to look at it that it did indeed incorporate

548
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:26,720
harmony and proportion the Phibonacci series in fact the diatonic scale as well and then it occurred

549
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:32,960
to him let's see if the next there you have there you have the different harmonies and proportions written

550
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:39,280
into the you know correlated to the particularly the whoops whoops whoops whoops whoops whoops whoops

551
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:55,680
that but incorporated into the particularly the the articulations of the main of the main

552
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:04,880
of the main structures of the main parts of the temple that the corresponding came across

553
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:10,160
to the idea that this represents why he called it the temple of man because the whole thing is

554
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:20,480
as a schematic is is done to the precise proportions of the average male skeleton we think there's

555
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:27,760
an I think anyway that there's a car-sponding temple of temple of woman up in Philai and because women

556
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:33,600
have a different the the golden section cuts at a different point and you know our proportions

557
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:42,240
as car are considerably different but anyway he took this I mean he took this idea and ran with it

558
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:47,280
and the the mathematics led them to the astronomy and the astronomy to the symbolism and the

559
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:53,120
symbolism to the medicine and all of the other aspects of Egypt so he stayed parked there through

560
01:07:53,120 --> 01:08:03,360
World War II and in 1952 he could see trouble brewing and NASA coming in and so on and decided to leave

561
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:14,160
Egypt and go back to France but in the process he he reformulated he put together his symbolist

562
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:20,480
interpretation which which concentrated upon Egypt of course four Russians they focused upon

563
01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:27,920
Egypt is actually a reformulation of the sacred science of the ancients and in my view probably

564
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:35,040
the single most important work of scholarship you know in the last two thousand years because it

565
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:41,440
really does demonstrate for those willing to follow the evidence that the extent of the knowledge

566
01:08:41,440 --> 01:08:49,120
that they had and Scholar opened the door for lots of others among us who can take his work and find

567
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:57,280
not necessarily faults in it at all but places where there's lots more study to be done so we're

568
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:04,480
in the process we think of turning all of history around and I will be getting to this shortly

569
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:12,000
and I want to get through this part first so there we have different the play of geometry that

570
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:21,120
defines the various aspects of the temple and now we get to what is it that makes sacred art sacred

571
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:26,800
and it's not just that it's called the Church of Sohansau when you're in the middle of

572
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:32,240
I mean if you go to a Methodist chapel in Wales you'll see what sacred art isn't because God doesn't

573
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:42,880
like it there or your neighborhood mega church either God runs away from there and goes to see a

574
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:53,760
football game in the 19th century there was a Swiss early physicist I mean there was hardly physics at that time

575
01:09:53,920 --> 01:10:02,240
but he was a particularly interested in the phenomena of acoustics and he got very intrigued in the

576
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:09,760
relationship between or the possible relationship between frequency and form so his name was

577
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:18,080
Ernst Colodney and what he did was he fastened a metal plate to a violin and sprinkled sand on the

578
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:22,800
plate I don't know where you got this idea from actually because it's not an obvious idea that when

579
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:29,680
would come up with he sprinkled sand on the plate and the bold violin and got these remarkable

580
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:36,080
harmonic geometric figures that look rather like mandalazs with the fact they look like mandalazs

581
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:43,920
is one and this is just photograph is just a photograph of sand sprinkled on a plate and photograph

582
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:52,800
and then they'd called Colodney figures and they'd been let's say curiosities for 100 and

583
01:10:52,800 --> 01:11:00,000
some odd years and then in the 40s and 50s I think that's when it was anyway around and another Swiss

584
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:11,920
artist of the anthropocylists follow a root of stina and and scientist as well decided to

585
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:20,880
do deeper study into the Colodney figures and he devised rather simple devices that will allow him to

586
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:28,800
vibrate different materials but at controlled vibrations and the next few minutes now we'll see he put

587
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:35,840
he called the study simatics from the Greek kimos which means waves so in other it's a study of wave

588
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:48,240
forms frequencies and I don't have the sound because I took the the clips from from the video but

589
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:52,320
it wouldn't matter even if they were sound it's only a kind of it's not as though they're playing

590
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:59,280
Beethoven it's just a who or a who or an ups and downs of sound but what you're going to see now

591
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:07,280
is a few minutes which is good because I need a break of a few minutes of different materials

592
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:15,440
being vibrated on different medium some of it are powders on a plate at the end there are metal

593
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:22,400
filings on a steel plate which is really amazing I do some bit of commentary as we're going along

594
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:30,160
but what we're actually seeing is something really of immense importance and Colodney no

595
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:37,840
I'm sorry Hansianny I didn't even give his name Hansianny you exactly what he was showing and on the

596
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:44,720
original video it's a very dry commentary because he absolutely didn't want to upset his scientific

597
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:54,160
colleagues and there's a video called climatics a kind of visually not not very technologically brilliant

598
01:12:54,160 --> 01:13:00,240
and if you google up climatics now there are lots of people who are doing their own experiments on

599
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:07,600
on cinatics and coming up with all kinds of really interesting stuff and this is this is material

600
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:15,520
that should be taught and every at least at the 9th 10th 11th year any high school in the

601
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:22,800
country because what it's demonstrating if I say it's the the relationship of frequency and form

602
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:32,640
that sounds it doesn't sound as others anything emotional behind it but it is actually a

603
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:38,880
demonstration of the famous in the beginning was the word and of the word in other words that

604
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:48,800
that by out of vibration out of vibration comes manifestation and manifestation is the visible

605
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:56,720
and the experiential world that we all live in and here you see it's basis and it's really moving and you can

606
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:06,320
see why the various schools you know colleges or denoury education to John definition of education

607
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:12,000
Western education that it is it is to the mind what aids it to the immune system the more

608
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:18,560
experience the more exposure you have to it the more likely it is to be lethal so you can see why

609
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:23,520
normal schools would be afraid of this stuff because it actually has some meaning and the kids might

610
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:38,880
get interested okay here it is now it's supposed to start it is this is this is on a steel

611
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:45,280
plate and just watch the and I think these are these are powders like a podium powder or

612
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:51,040
something and this is all I mean there's just a shifting of sound waves and this is what's

613
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:59,920
happening more come on there we go these are the forms that come from where does the backbone come from

614
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:12,560
our well yes yeah and these are just clips from at the actual videos about 45 minutes

615
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,520
Trilibites anyone

616
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:29,680
all of this is just vibration and different powders and sands and so on

617
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,240
Dragonflies

618
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:43,360
that starts out just this is chaos on the chaos of powder on a plate

619
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:22,480
and the other things where he's he's photographing your vowels for the AIOU and getting different

620
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:29,520
forms out of the you know out of the chaotic material now here this is my favorite these are steel

621
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:39,600
filings on Orion filings on a metal plate and it's just vibration it looks like a it looks like

622
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:48,960
it looks like a martial art film by you know by Kura Sawa look at that and that's metal form

623
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,520
the why do they associate Mars with metal with with iron look at it

624
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,960
yeah

625
01:17:50,960 --> 01:18:00,960
yeah

626
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:16,960
yeah

627
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:27,920
oh it would be it's it would be a not a study time it would be changing I think anyway that's it

628
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:35,760
they lost the war by the way but nevertheless the demonstration is impressive so

629
01:18:39,440 --> 01:18:44,560
now so that's in other words when to get back to the original you see I do get there

630
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:53,040
where I where I left off from was why is the sacred why is the sacred sacred and

631
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,040
from the harm the harmonies and the proportions

632
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:05,040
grater called architecture frozen music which is not just metaphorically and poetically true

633
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,920
it's literally true and this is why when you go into a

634
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:13,440
where you go into a hot thought temple it's one thing and you go into an ammoan temple it's quite another

635
01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:19,680
an horror temple is something else again they the the the sacred the the architects and the keepers

636
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:28,480
of the sacred of sacred geometry understood that the so-called gods are not these primitive figures

637
01:19:28,480 --> 01:19:35,760
that are divided by by by by simple minded primit by simple minded peasants or simple minded

638
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:42,160
grandizing priests but rather that the so-called gods as soon as actually as soon as you

639
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:48,720
as soon as you call the gods not gods but cosmic principles the whole thing changes

640
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:56,640
as I said earlier myth is the is the is the articulation or the the embodiment myth myth

641
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:05,520
tells in dramatic form the interaction of cosmic principles and an architect or doing the same

642
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:12,080
sort of thing all of the all of the so-called gods were associated with certain numbers in certain

643
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:18,640
number combinations which are in turn associated with certain ratios in geometrical form

644
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:24,880
and when those are put together by somebody who really knows what he's doing

645
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:33,360
outcomes these amazing temples and Egypt goes it's very strange let's get into procession and various

646
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:41,840
ways and I'm not exactly sure how but it's at a tight very close to its beginning and then gradually

647
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:50,480
gradually presumably as it as it descends as the cycle continues and it gets closer and closer to

648
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:58,160
to the dark age to the to the call the yoga it gets heavier and and and less exalted looking

649
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:08,800
geometry still intact but it gets it gets much less emotionally involved but it's there and when you go

650
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:14,880
there it's said it's it's particular it particularly applies to Egypt

651
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:25,280
less so to other cultures to very considerable extent to to Indian architecture but that's much

652
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:33,040
that's much later there's nothing that goes back to 3000 BC or 2000 BC in India but the geometry is the

653
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:49,440
same five what five hours okay really oh all right um the you go to the Gothic cathedrals the

654
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:54,400
great ones and only the real Gothic the 12th and 13th century your Gothic and then it gets

655
01:21:54,480 --> 01:22:02,720
eye Gothic and it all gets the generit and over gets overly fussy and it loses its purity but

656
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:11,840
it's only an Egypt that you have sacred architecture that embodies the entirety of this great

657
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:19,360
esoteric discipline now I will warn me there five minutes and now this is not going to say so

658
01:22:19,440 --> 01:22:25,680
anyway what we're looking at here what we will be looking at momentarily all of these these are

659
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:32,560
this is all symbolist Egypt and all of these figures to try and let's see get a sense of

660
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:38,000
it won't make sense to us a lot of it doesn't make sense to me even with all the study I put in

661
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:44,720
but the only because symbolism is a dead art and symbolism almost dead we don't have sacred

662
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:51,760
symbolism anymore we do have we do have a form of of secular symbolism that is good enough

663
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:58,720
to allow us to understand what's going in and these into these kinds of reliefs and it is that

664
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:07,120
the the political cartoon and but you have to be an initiate initiated into the politics in other

665
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:13,040
words a political cartoon in the New York Times or something else American is not going to be

666
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:19,680
understood by tribesmen in the middle of Papua New Guinea or or in the Amazon you have to be

667
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:26,480
educated into the cartoon but as long as you have some knowledge of it you'll get the point so you'll

668
01:23:26,480 --> 01:23:33,280
have you'll have Uncle Sam America's Uncle Sam in England by just John Bow and well-lead

669
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:40,560
France is the Lebe of Thay and Russia cut into the Russian barrel cut up into pieces like Ozaris

670
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:48,080
in a certain configuration and out of that you instantly get a very complex picture of a particular

671
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:55,600
situation well that's Egyptian symbolism is like that this is incredibly complex thing to us doesn't make

672
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:02,320
any sense at all and if I go through it one thing by thing by thing I can say this is this and this is

673
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:07,680
that and so on but you still won't get an emotional head out of it and Egyptian priest would walk in

674
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:13,280
and instantly get get the whole thing in its totality but now I really have to rush because I

675
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:18,960
thought they were kidding before when they told me this is not a thing this is the so-called cathode

676
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:24,720
ray tube at the bottom of one of the crypts which is not a cathode ray tube it is cosmological

677
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:30,480
and it is it is it is the first where it's sorry

678
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:45,520
right damn it looks no come on I did something

679
01:24:46,160 --> 01:25:05,920
so John help what did I do can I go backwards now okay wait a second okay without without going

680
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:11,600
into a long pullover this is in a deep crypt out of the bowels of the earth the deep

681
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:18,800
crypts are always where the beginnings of the universe and what this is a representation of is the

682
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:28,640
the water snake represents vibration or energy it's the it's the prime evil the it's the prime evil

683
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:35,840
the first the first energy form and it's springing from from a lotus which represents an

684
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:41,680
sort of what it does in India it's a it's a plant that grows with its roots in the mud it

685
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:48,560
grows through the water it flowers in the air it sends out its mildly psychedelic perfume

686
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:54,400
into the into the atmosphere so it represents the four elements and so this is at a

687
01:25:54,400 --> 01:26:03,760
principle level not as a I mean in real life it does but here we're talking symbology and and the

688
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:12,640
sort of eggplant shape around the around the the serpent is not a cathode ray tube but

689
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:17,280
if you're a cartoonist and we're talking about cartoons and you have to portray a smell how would

690
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:23,360
you do it something like this and then this is stage one of the creation and then the next stage

691
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:30,400
shows two of these eggplant forms and a different stake and then if you look carefully you see that

692
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:37,040
one snake is completely unfinished and the next one this one here has its scales on and you follow

693
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:42,400
it through and you see that this it's stage one and stage two of universal creation

694
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:50,560
anyway more things as we go through all of this is cosmology the serpent the crocodile on the

695
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:58,160
this is this represents the the axis of the universe the upright hipopotamus representing maternity

696
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:04,400
or creation the principle of maternity or creation the crocodile on its back representing death

697
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:11,120
of fairly obvious reasons and so all of these things make sense and you make a visceral sense to

698
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:16,960
to the priest who are officiating the public can't go into these places this is in the tomb of

699
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:22,320
setty the first they can't go into these places because they wouldn't understand it anyhow it's

700
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:28,400
sort of like you know major league baseball it's democracy why can't the eye play center field for

701
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:33,920
the Yankees or whatever well haven't paid my dues that's why and so with these places

702
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:40,320
this is cosmology again going through this is the sun's rays shining on the temple of

703
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:44,880
author I'm going to have to run because I thought I could babble on forever and they're going to let me

704
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:53,040
this is this is proof according to Schweller the ram headed swings outside Karnak because

705
01:27:53,040 --> 01:28:01,920
this is the period the age of tourists moving into in-gassing into the age of areas and appropriately

706
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:09,840
mirrored by the symbolism of ram headed swings which didn't occur before here we go honk and

707
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:19,680
onk and was at symbol and this is a very important one this is ISIS and Ozeiras this is Ozeiras

708
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:27,200
who has been killed by his brother set his wicked brother set and he's been cut into pieces but

709
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:34,240
he's been reassembled by his wife and sister ISIS the only thing that is missing is his

710
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:39,760
palace which has been thrown into the river and eaten by a fish and she charms a golden

711
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:49,520
palace from a god-coulso car that is good for just one night and upon that palace Ozeiras impregnates

712
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:55,520
herself and will give birth to Horace who represents the return to the source so this is basic

713
01:28:55,520 --> 01:29:04,000
Christianity but shown as Egyptian symbolism okay more there's ISIS impregnating herself this is

714
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:12,160
actually the immaculate conception in 1300 BC okay more things this is Sechmed everybody's favorite goddess

715
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:18,880
anyway and all the ladies favorite goddess who represents esthetetically the fire aspect of the

716
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:29,280
female principle it is she who is in charge of of basically of of war and destruction and of

717
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:39,760
healing but healing through purgation it's another just gorgeous Sechmed this is Hathor who is

718
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:46,320
represents cosmic femininity and you see her face this was a big mystery until one of the

719
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:56,560
one of the women on my trip solved it she's associated with birth and music and and sexuality

720
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:03,600
and so on and she has sometimes she's shown as a cow or associated with the cow and she has these

721
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:08,880
strains cow ears and one of the women on my trip I was saying this is such an unen Egyptian looking

722
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:15,600
such an unen Egyptian looking face and she's shown in full face which is very very

723
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:22,000
unusual and Egypt and one of the women on my trips that all well John those it makes sense her

724
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:30,480
faces in the shape of the uterus and the ears and the ears are ovaries and I check this

725
01:30:30,480 --> 01:30:35,920
ruin absolutely correct then even the quackedemics are now beginning to acknowledge it and sometimes

726
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:42,560
inside hidden in the ear not in this one actually but you see a little egg in the inside of the ears so

727
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:52,400
they know all this up they knew how to how to sculpt women this is Horace I'm just

728
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:59,440
talking about him before this is a very complicated and very interesting stealer and anybody who

729
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:06,080
comes to Egypt with me will have it explained in depth but now we're running out of time so can't

730
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:17,520
help that's that's deep down in that crypt where the the of the beginnings of the universe

731
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:23,760
this is Sikara the rearing serpents on the on the wall representing the risen quintileeting all

732
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:29,600
of these things resonate with all of the other esoteric civilizations that have a word this is set

733
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:39,840
the bad guy who is nevertheless a great god and they often call him the god of evil there is no god of

734
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:48,080
evil unless maybe it's Dick Cheney the there's there's there's a principle of opposition he who does not

735
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:55,600
wish he who refuses to return to the light suddenly recognize that it puts a hole if you really

736
01:31:55,600 --> 01:32:03,760
study mythology and you start getting a sense of it you see that it makes immediate practical sense

737
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:12,800
set is set is he who obstructs my turn my computer on in the morning set is there diswading me

738
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:20,240
from getting anything written but I know this so I know this so I don't have to fall under his spell

739
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:26,080
even though I do very often okay now we're going okay this is a weighing of the heart all of this

740
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:32,400
oh there's my favorite I have a thing about dogs they're the Egyptian Greyhounds pulling down

741
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:37,680
the animals of the desert the animals of the desert the untamed the undemesticated are all

742
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:46,880
the domain of set and the Greyhounds the Greyhounds there they are are we there the Greyhounds

743
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:54,800
are pulling them down and interestingly enough there's another very good rendition of those strange dogs

744
01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:03,360
and here they are in real life because they stayed pure on the island of Abisa and my

745
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:08,640
orca where I I'd be say I lived on for many many years and took those dogs off with me was one of the

746
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:15,040
first people to do and I usually have a dog at the moment I haven't the last one not even very old died

747
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:21,920
and there are a lot of troubles so I don't have one at the moment okay here we go the the

748
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:28,240
scarab beetle represents the principle of transformation all of this to explain this

749
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:36,240
satisfactory this one I could do would be 15 20 minutes to explain that satisfactory but and here we go

750
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:44,080
okay now quick run through of symbolist Egypt from from beginning this okay at this thanks and you'll see

751
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:56,880
sort of decrease you'll see it lose it's that exactly lose its divinity but you'll see it

752
01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:04,080
you'll see it what's the way I'm looking for the generate in front of your eyes though through

753
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:10,080
through new king the major this is old king well it's not much much older but old king them is

754
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:18,800
2500 BC two about a thousand BC and it's wonderful right through that and then it gets very

755
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:26,480
decadent decadent is the way I'm looking for so here's our spanks here's the car which is supposedly

756
01:34:26,480 --> 01:34:31,920
older than the spanks but it might be actually here's the car are reconstructed this is what it

757
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:36,720
would have looked like if you could go to it today and we're intact this does not look like the first

758
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:42,080
stone structure ever done though until go back meet up he was found if this was called the first

759
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:49,760
major stone the first major stone construction on the face of the planet this does not look like

760
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:55,840
somebody just sat down and said well let's build a temple now it has to have been has to have been

761
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:02,800
the result of a long tradition of architectural knowledge here you see this is old king them

762
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:11,440
the inlayed eyes look at back at you they stopped doing this in the new kingdom or by the

763
01:35:11,440 --> 01:35:16,720
new kingdom and nobody has ever done it since very hard to do that it's four different kinds of

764
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:25,360
courts crystal and you have to know the reflective and the refractive indexes of the eye to

765
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:31,760
produce an eye that looks back at you like this so once you see the Egyptian once you've been there

766
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:37,440
and you see in the museum these wonderful statues with their inlayed eyes everything else even

767
01:35:37,440 --> 01:35:43,920
Michelangelo's and everybody else wrote down all of that's that you where it all looks blind and it is

768
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:49,200
doesn't have inlayed eyes now you got this is hot chap so it's great temple another one that

769
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:56,080
looks like it's been built the day before yesterday is that wonderful is this face of hot

770
01:35:56,160 --> 01:36:02,480
upset again see how we're going this is a abou symbol of ramsi's the second about their

771
01:36:02,480 --> 01:36:09,760
teenagers OBC and you don't see really don't get a sense of scale there but now you do and

772
01:36:10,480 --> 01:36:17,920
pretty impressive and this now we're fast forward a thousand years and this is telemic art these

773
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:23,280
in Napoleon's drawings and you see that it's all got heavy and clumsy looking this is this is

774
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:30,320
imagine this is how clumsy and it's a decadent the art has become and now we're going further further

775
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:39,760
and now it's into Roman times and this is this is in the museum of Alexandria

776
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:46,560
the so-called barber the bird of the soul here it is a thousand years earlier in a bunch of papyrus

777
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:57,040
looking pretty pretty refined and and potent more decadent stuff here this guy looks like he just

778
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:06,080
came back from the orgy or some of my friends last night maybe and probably did just come back

779
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:11,920
from the orgy there's the shrinks reduced to Tony the tiger and things are getting worse and worse

780
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:19,760
and this is the last gas of Egyptian real Egyptian civilization and catechomes of Komal Jugafel in

781
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:26,160
Alexandria where everything has got jumbled up and really there's no lost all of its purity

782
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:32,800
the tombs are erected not by the temple itself but by some wealthy family who are still practicing

783
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:39,680
the ancient religion and as you see you know everything is corrupted it's like it's kind of when

784
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:44,720
you go into it we don't go to Alexandria mostly it's an extra day and it's not worth going

785
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:51,040
they're just for this and there's nothing much else that's sort of an underground Disney land

786
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:57,120
and the degeneration continues here are the gods of Egypt on the back of a camel

787
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:04,400
can't get much lower than that Christianity takes over and as the business I think this is the

788
01:38:04,480 --> 01:38:15,680
Byzantine cross hammered into the the the the the the columns of the temple of Fili which was

789
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:22,800
the last place to practice the Egyptian religion and originally the the cops took over

790
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:30,720
really a continuation of Christianity without the science and they were they were respecting

791
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:36,160
they were taking over the particular sacred parts of the temple and turning them into churches

792
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:41,680
they were not yet destroying everything it took a while for them to perfect the art of destroying

793
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:49,200
anything you know we are again these are these are stylized onks all of a sudden looking like angels

794
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:57,840
and what are you happy and now we're back to our sphinx and this brings on the

795
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:06,640
this brings on a new era you know everybody knows here I'm sure everybody knows the

796
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:18,240
the forehorsesman of the apocalypse correct what are they war famine pestilence and death

797
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:25,280
which when you start to think about it is actually a peculiar choice the only the only horseman

798
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:31,760
that we can do anything about pretty much as war in theory we can not have wars in practice we

799
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:40,880
don't do that well with it but pestilence famine and pestilence are you know brought on by nature

800
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:47,040
mostly and death comes to us all so it's not the stage but these are these I talked a little bit

801
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:53,440
about the the admiral running out of time I talked a little bit about the the church of progress

802
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:59,840
which is our present religion except it's not called progress it is called sorry it is not called

803
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:09,760
a church it is called reason and actually it's not reason it is the rationalization the whole materialist

804
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:20,400
Darwinist philosophy if you can call it a philosophy it's called the result of science let's say

805
01:40:20,480 --> 01:40:28,560
it's what science tells us we must believe we're not believe because in theory they say that science

806
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:35,200
leads us to that conclusion the only conclusion possible by their standards but really and we don't

807
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:42,640
have time to go into this unfortunately but it isn't it isn't reason at all it is the rationalization

808
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:52,000
of their own inner emptiness and it is the church of progress is the is the religion of the

809
01:40:54,320 --> 01:41:02,080
actually of the emotionally retarded spiritually dyslexic and philosophically depraved it has

810
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:07,760
absolutely nothing to do with science itself and in fact the top scientist at the max plunk

811
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:14,160
Einstein kind of level understand this but the rest of the dumb heads don't and it is they who

812
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:25,280
actually control control the press and control the our educational system and so on and I mean the

813
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:33,840
martial arts master I used to know would tell me that you do not teach and it's it's impossible

814
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:38,880
to talk to them it's impossible to let's say have a reasonable conversation with these people

815
01:41:40,480 --> 01:41:46,640
because the said martial arts master I used to know said you know if you want to be

816
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:54,800
happy in the world that we live in you do not talk about movements who moonbeams to the blind

817
01:41:55,600 --> 01:42:02,400
or music to the death and you absolutely do not talk about sex to unix because they just get angry

818
01:42:02,480 --> 01:42:10,400
and sometimes violence and extending that metaphor nobody is surprised when the unix

819
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:17,360
sneaker behind the saltons back and and deride his passions but when they take over the

820
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:25,200
palace and called a terrible disability reason the empire is doomed and this is where basically

821
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:30,880
this is the position wherein now I must say I'm rather less optimistic than a couple of our speakers

822
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:38,960
here the church of progress it's Jesuits our science education and the press science creates

823
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:48,240
the dogma education inculcates it into helpless little kids and the press the media tried to make it

824
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:56,240
palatable to people who otherwise might not find it palatable they have their like the mafia they

825
01:42:56,320 --> 01:43:01,920
have there let's say they have their posse out there these are the five this is a genre original

826
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:08,880
they have there they have the five cowboys of apocalypse 2.0 and they are I don't know how

827
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:18,320
time to get into it people want to argue go ahead um they are capitalism patriotism democracy

828
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:26,000
technology and entertainment very briefly capitalism is based upon the philosophy everything

829
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:31,280
for me nothing for you you see them all gobbling up each other to get market share nobody else can

830
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:40,320
make a living they have to have it all and they pretty well do patriotism very bad to say anything

831
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:45,440
nasty about patriotism patriotism isn't a virtue it's pathological condition

832
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:55,200
um patriotism was based upon the idea everything for us nothing for them the bumper sticker says

833
01:43:55,200 --> 01:44:03,040
God bless America the other hidden sticky side says in fuck everyone else

834
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:14,560
democracy try to say anything bad about democracy I don't know about you but I don't want to

835
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:20,240
wait in the restaurant where the dishwash is elected the chef and tell them how to cook that's

836
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:25,520
when it works reasonably well what we have is not democracy and it wasn't democracy just

837
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:32,720
start off with it was a republic but it wasn't a very a very reasonably based republic but it was

838
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:39,200
if you get into it it was better than it looks anyway that's that technology is a mixed bag even

839
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:51,520
I registered a lot I would rather go would rather go to a 21st to a 21st century dentist

840
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:58,800
than a 21st dynasty dentist even though their medicine was pretty good technology really does

841
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:08,000
have its good side but it also has its terrifying side which people tend not to and it is unfortunately

842
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:22,000
it is in principle a a moral and in practice much of the time immoral most of our glossy

843
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,720
technology shiny barbarism I call it and shock goes along with me honest he's a scientist

844
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:32,720
remember and a good one and we don't we don't know exactly what the figure is but we were talking

845
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:41,840
about what percentage of science or technology is actually devoted to so-called defense which is

846
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:48,640
really offense and he he wasn't sure either but it's probably somewhere on 70 or 80 percent and the

847
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:55,840
rest of it is devoted the majority of it to for volatility the bubble head dolls and strike toothpaste

848
01:45:55,840 --> 01:46:01,280
and a little bit left over that maybe is useful somewhere another the internet fits into that

849
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:08,640
bit and thank god for that because otherwise we'd already be cooked and the fifth one and detainment

850
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:18,000
entertainment is something you do to kill time before it kills you and entertainment is not art

851
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:24,080
date opens night symphony is not entertainment and neither is the cathedral of shot or the temple of

852
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:34,080
Luxor in between it there's gray area that's comedy comedy is a sort of a comedy comedy you can only

853
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:40,640
laugh and there a lot of people have this tried to figure out what it is that makes what makes

854
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:47,520
things funny the dog doesn't think that anything's funny even dolphins and and and higher primates

855
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:55,440
don't tell jokes at least as far as we know much less invent them comedy is strictly human I think

856
01:46:56,320 --> 01:47:06,400
and what it what it depends upon is that it depends upon an internal an inner sense of what is

857
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:12,880
right and what is wrong there's a morality to it I had briefly nobody would pay me any money for it but

858
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:24,560
I had briefly a did a stand up act called stand up metaphysics 2.0 and it was it was pretty funny

859
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:30,480
but except it was ragged just as this is but it worked okay you know audiences liked it and

860
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:39,040
it was not it was not just casual because there's there's an inbuilt hierarchical

861
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:49,360
I hate to call it moral because it conjures up some crazy minister somewhere it conjures up

862
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:58,880
but it's it's called it moral for lack of a better word at the moment and it conjures that it

863
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:08,240
what sorry and it it conjures the you can only put it this way you can only laugh at what's wrong

864
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:17,600
so by laughing you're automatically you're automatically acknowledging what is right you cannot laugh

865
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:24,800
at good sex or good food you can make fun of attitudes to our good sex a good food but you can't laugh at it

866
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:30,800
can only laugh at stuff that's wrong which is why it's such a rich age for comedians unfortunately

867
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:36,640
very few of them recognize that they're dealing with a with a potentially metaphysical

868
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:46,000
with a potentially metaphysical weapon and but anyway so there's a there's a nice area not a

869
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:53,120
fine line as an area in in entertainment which is a set of shades or shades off into art that's a

870
01:48:53,120 --> 01:49:00,080
different matter altogether there's an area in there where entertainment actually serves a useful

871
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:05,120
purpose otherwise as I said it's just something you do to kill time before it kills you so

872
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:13,920
on this is so this is basically the five cowboys and this is the next one because one thing I want

873
01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:25,120
to get to that I almost forgot about almost wait a minute go away okay can we give it up for

874
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:35,280
John Anthony West everybody wait a minute applause here no I got a five more minutes okay

875
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:43,360
five more minutes I did not invent this some genius invented it when when Bush stole

876
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:50,720
the second election I but I I changed the terminology it was originally the red state

877
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:57,840
red dumbfuckestan and the blue states were America no this is this is this is partisanship

878
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:05,840
the red states are greater dumbfuckestan and the blue states are lesser dumbfuckestan but it is all

879
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:10,320
dumbfuckestan and anyone who thinks differently doesn't know what he's thinking about

880
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,840
but they're giving me the giving me five minutes

881
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:20,800
as a taric I've been working the last couple of years on a book with a friend of mine

882
01:50:21,440 --> 01:50:29,040
about near death experiences and it's come up unpractically every speaker here about the

883
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:35,840
experience the transcendent experience that is the the aim the purpose of our being here on this planet

884
01:50:36,480 --> 01:50:45,920
the NDE and backtrack about everybody I'm sure is familiar with the victor who go line there's

885
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:51,200
one thing stronger than all the armies in the world and that is an idea whose time has come great

886
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:57,600
line and everyone says yeah that's right but the second strongest thing in the world victor who

887
01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:03,200
go did not think of the second strongest thing in the world is an idea whose time has not yet gone

888
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:10,800
and since and since all the armies of the world be they financial or or agricultural or

889
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:18,560
scientific or scholarly or even artistic all the armies in the world are formally or de facto

890
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:24,560
in the service of the idea whose time has not yet gone so getting the idea whose time has come

891
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:31,840
to come this is a big deal and I forget who it was before was citing important books of the last

892
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:38,320
hundred years or so none of those books cumulatively they amount to something but really there

893
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:43,280
are a couple hundred of us here and out there there are billions of people listening to Rush

894
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:52,960
Limbo and and so so getting the idea whose time has come and the press the press the media are

895
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:58,800
in the service the armies of the media are in the service of the idea whose time has not yet gone

896
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:06,640
so what is it take to get the idea whose time has come to come and this it's cumulative so just

897
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:13,360
for example supposedly I've been a searchist but I can't get a real figure on it

898
01:52:14,480 --> 01:52:24,800
Harriet Beatrice does uncle Tom Cabin had a real kind of a real effect in bringing on the civil war

899
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:30,320
and and the abolition of slavery people have been talking about the abolition of slavery for

900
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:36,960
hundred years but it hadn't been abolished a couple of things happen that can turn the whole thing

901
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:45,520
around what we're doing here of islands you know amazing of decoding of Shakespeare and finding

902
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:50,800
all of these constants in the great pyramid go into your local Walmart and try and talk to

903
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:56,320
my bad islands discovery it's not going to work even even the mystery of the spanks which got to

904
01:52:56,320 --> 01:53:00,800
millions and millions of people because we put it in such a way that everyone really could

905
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:09,040
understand it was not abstract science we can only get to a certain number of people the NDE is a

906
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:15,120
very strange phenomenon and this friend of mine that I co-wrote the book I really I edited the book

907
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:19,920
he started he was doing all of this research as neighbors David Solomon he was a Christian

908
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:25,040
pastor very unusual one because he was actually a practicing Christian rather than a preaching

909
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:30,880
Christian there's a big difference between them with a most part and he was doing all of his very

910
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:37,040
careful research into the phenomenon of the NDE trying to kind of categorize to make sense of it all

911
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:43,680
and then he discovered started losing his bowsy discovery had a glialma glialblastoma it's a 100%

912
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:51,920
lethal brain cancer and originally when he told me about his research he financed our trip to

913
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:58,480
go back to the tapioffish off in shock in myself and and I was telling me you got a right

914
01:53:58,480 --> 01:54:07,120
of book David he's not I'm not a right of he got with this 100% fatal cancer he then decided he

915
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:12,000
well he said well yeah you know this is this is my mission now I've got to finish this book before

916
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:18,320
I go I gave him 12 to 14 months he lasted three years not quite three years and we got the book done

917
01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:26,000
but it seems to me see the NDE is something you don't have to use you don't need any science for the

918
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:30,560
NDE these scientists needless to say that the bunkers are busy trying to debunk it saying that it's a

919
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:36,800
hallucination of the deteriorating mind well they're the ones with the deteriorated minds and they don't

920
01:54:36,880 --> 01:54:43,680
know what a hallucination is try to define and try to measure a hallucination and turn it into

921
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:49,120
science you can't do it anyway so we got we bought this book out there and it seems to me

922
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:56,960
that it could be or anyway that NDE phenomenon this experience that normal ordinary people who have

923
01:54:56,960 --> 01:55:03,280
not meditated for 20 years or fasted or doing done any of the let's say the spiritual practices

924
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:12,880
that normally are associated with spiritual development suddenly get thrust into one of the higher

925
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:16,880
realms and they haven't taken any drugs to get there either not there's anything wrong with taking

926
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:24,480
the drugs but they they get there and it's only for a couple of minutes and they come back

927
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:30,480
with all of these fantastic accounts which in fact corroborate the funerary literature

928
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:38,720
of the world since time has begun and this is this is material that anybody can grasp and it seems to

929
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:46,320
me that science is to a certain extent losing its vice-like grip on the strangulating you know

930
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:52,720
the strangled grip on our throats it's losing it anyhow but it's going to take it's going to take a

931
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:58,320
lot or something anyway something dramatic to make it come and it seems to me that the NDE

932
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:04,400
experience is something that anybody can understand and resonate to.

933
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:09,360
One more time for John Anthony West everybody.

934
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:14,400
Thank you. Okay. Okay.

935
01:56:17,040 --> 01:56:17,600
Thank you.

936
01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:27,840
So for those for those that are interested we can meet out at the fireside lounge for dinner plans

937
01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:30,320
the bookstore I believe is building here.
