0:00Okay, so today we continue the topic of secret societies. Last class we discussed how they come into power. Today we're we will look at where they come from and what they believe. Okay? So to understand secret societies, I first need to explain to you the history of religion in the Western world.
So in the Western world, there have been three major stages of religious development. And again, I will oversimplify for the purpose of clarity. Okay? So this is a simplified version of the history. So the three major stages of religion develop of religious development in the Western world are the Mother Goddess, Mother Goddess, uh polytheism, and monotheism.
Polytheism means many gods. You believe in many gods. Monotheism means one god, that only one god exists. So the Mother Goddess civilization um came about because of agriculture. And in an agricultural world, you have two problems.
The first problem is to make sure that your crops are healthy and you can harvest them in time. Second problem is to give birth, to have as many children as possible to work the fields. Okay? So these are the two problems. And because of that, a religion developed in order to facilitate facilitate both, called the Mother Goddess civilization.
So the center of this religion is the womb.
2:01The woman's womb is considered a divine portal from the spirit world into our world. It's almost like a cave, right? In which the spirit world can come out and manifest itself in our world. So the center of this religion is the womb of the woman. And as such, the woman are in control.
What's really important is to understand that in this world, everything is interconnected, harmonized, balanced together. So the womb is a center of this world, but then you have the stars. Okay? The stars. And of course, this gives rise to astrology.
Astrology is the study of the movement of the stars in order to understand it's a it's impact on our world. Okay? Then you have of course um the crops. Right? So in an ideal world, all three are aligned together.
By studying the stars, you know when to best plant the crops and when to best have children. And in this world again, it is the woman who are in control. They have the high status in society because they believe that women are direct representatives of the Mother Goddess who rules the world. Usually in this society, the Mother Goddess is represented as a bird. Okay?
A bird. Why? Because if you think about it, if you study all the animals in nature, it's the bird that has dominion over the sky. And if life comes from the sky, it makes sense that the Mother Goddess must be a bird of some sort. But uh the Mother Goddess is also paired
4:04with a bull. Okay? A bull. Why? Because a bull is a symbol of virility and energy.
You cannot You cannot get pregnant as a woman by yourself. You need a man to do it for you. Okay? So the bird and the bull are the two symbols of worship in this world. Now, this world is very strange from our perspective because there's no property.
Everything belongs to everyone. There's no hierarchy. Everyone is the same. And there's no such thing as um m- as sex by yourself. Okay?
So sex is actually a community act. So there these rituals um called fertility cults, fertility cults, in which they have sex together. In fact, many men will have sex with one woman. It makes sense because as a woman, you want to have the best DNA. You You want to have the best sperm, right?
You don't know who's going to have the best sperm, so you just have sex with everyone and whoever has the best sperm will give it to you. Okay? So that's the Mother Goddess civilization. Then we switch to polytheism. So why do we make the switch?
The answer is war. For the first time in human history, as populations increase, there's now struggle for resources. And what's the most important resource in this world? Do you guys know? The most important resource is woman, right?
Females. Because it's females that give birth. And that's the And so with war, we have a new concept called property.
6:05In order to get men to fight wars, you have to give them something as reward, right? So they get to have a woman, a wife. And now this wife belongs to them and only them. So in this world, what happens is that you now have property, hierarchy, and marriage. And the role of the woman decreases and the role of the man increases.
Okay? At the same time, what's happening is that these different societies, in order to fight wars, they have a god. Okay? And when they go to war, they it's like the gods are going to war. And if you lose the war, what it means is that your god is inferior to their god.
So now you have a hierarchy of gods. So to maintain peace, what happens is that if you lose the war, you admit that your god is weaker than their god and you you now must obey their god. Right? And this is what we call the pantheon. So remember in the Greek pantheon, Zeus is at the top and then you have Apollo, Ares, Aphrodite.
Okay? Everyone else is a lower god. But before, they were separate gods. And in a series of wars, the people who believe Zeus is the best god won out against the other gods. And as a result, the other gods became Zeus's children.
Yes? Do you have a question? Um why does like the men the men fight for women but women don't fight for men? Like the women don't um fight for the men. So why?
Okay. Okay. So the question um is why do men go to war and why don't
8:05women go to war? Okay. So that's a really good question. Okay? So let me explain to you very slowly.
So in this world, the woman are in control. Right? So women have all the status. But over time, as populations increase, you have a you have young men who have no families. And these young men are discarded from the societies because of lack of resources.
So these young men have a problem. They need to find wives in order to survive. So these young men start to raid other societies in order to capture women. Do you understand? So in this society, it's never young women who are discarded because they they have value to their society.
It's always young men who are discarded. And as a result, these young men become like wolves. Okay? They become like a wolf pack who then go and pillage other villages. And that's how you start And that's And that's how you have the origin of war.
Okay? Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. So now, you have this pantheon of gods.
Okay? Which leads to polytheism. Then we make the switch from polytheism to monotheism. Why? Because now you have a new idea called empire.
Specifically, the Roman Empire and they introduce a new religion called Christianity, which is the first monotheistic religion in the world. There's a lot of debate um as to what was the first monotheistic religion. Some people say Zoroastrianism. Some people say Judaism. I will I will show you in this class later on that actually the first religion that was monotheistic is Christianity, okay?
So, the difference between between the society where which is a society based on war is you still there's a lot of
10:05humans, but humans are still the most precious resource. Therefore, it is not in your best interest to kill everyone. But we have an we we we have an empire like the Roman Empire, you don't have to worry about killing other people. In fact, you can go and destroy entire societies, which is what the Romans did. And you can now as an empire enforce, impose your reality, your God on everyone else.
And that's how you have monotheism. Does that make sense? All right. So, having explained that, what I want to show you now is how the world view, our understanding of the world, changes over time. Okay?
So, in the mother goddess civilization, there are two things about their world that's very different from our world, okay? So, the first major difference, this is this is really important for you guys to remember is they understood that mind led to matter. Mind leads to matter. But in our world, we believe that it's matter that led to mind. Okay, do you understand?
So, in science class you're taught we have a brain, then the brain because of synaptic connections creates the mind. Okay? So, it's matter that leads to mind. Um even though we're taught this, if you think about it, it actually doesn't make any sense. Because how does our small little brain, how is it able to do so much processing, which is the mind, right?
How are how are we able to imagine? How are we able to dream? It's really confusing for us. And quite honestly, if you talk to the very best neuroscientists in the world, they their response will always be don't ask this question.
12:06Okay? It's never like we don't know, it's always like don't ask this question. Okay, this question is forbidden to ask in neuroscience. But so, throughout most of human history, we believed that it was mind that led to matter. That it's the mind that creates the brain in order to understand the world.
Okay? That makes a lot more sense than mind uh matter leads to mind, okay? Okay, so that's the first major difference. Throughout most of human history, most societies believed that it was the mind that creates the brain. The second major difference is that this is a metaphorical world.
In other words, they spoke using metaphors. They understood the world through metaphors. Today, we live in a literal world. Okay? What's the difference?
Well, the difference is this. Let's just say that you and I fight. Well, we would say that okay, what happened was that um I became angry. The emotion overwhelmed me, and then I hit him, then he got angry, then he hit me back, okay? This is a literal interpretation.
But back then, the metaphorical understanding was that anger is a god who seized me and who propelled me into the fight. And then anger unleashed the god of vengeance who fought back by seizing the other person to fight me back, okay? So, we believed for most of of human history that we were controlled by forces outside our control. Now, today, you may believe that the literal world makes more sense, but if you think about it, from the perspective of human thought, okay? How do you understand the world?
How do you um interpret what goes on in the world? The metaphorical understanding is actually much more useful. And that's why, and and I know this is hard for you guys to understand,
14:06back then, they were much more creative than we are today. Okay? And also, the things that they were able to do are beyond our imagination. So, for example, we've never really figured out how the Egyptians created the pyramids. Okay?
For our explanation is aliens did it. Because their mind is beyond our imagination. Okay? So, that's the that shows you the switch. Now, when we when we when we go to the polytheistic um world, this system still continues, but they add more elements to make it more complex, okay?
So, the first element is they believe that we are controlled by God. We are the playthings of gods. Now, what's really important to understand is that these gods, Zeus, Apollo, Ares, they're no different from mortals. The only difference is they just live forever. Okay?
So, for example, if you are a king, what do you like to do? Well, you like to go around and chase young girls around, okay? What does Zeus do all day? What does Apollo do all day? These gods, all they do is go around and chase young girls around.
Okay? So, there's actually no difference. Above the gods are the older gods, fortune, fate. So, the belief was that even though these are gods, they're still controlled by forces beyond their understanding understanding like fortune and fate. What mattered in this world was not to be good, what mattered in this world is to be lucky, okay?
To be fortunate. Because that showed you that that the gods favored you. And the last element, the most important element, is the unwritten and immutable
16:06laws of the universe. Okay? So, a concept like justice. So, think of gravity, how gravity gives structure to the universe, right? Well, back then they believed the same thing where at the at the at the most fundamental level, there were concepts that existed like justice.
And if you you could have the favor of the gods, and you could be very lucky, but if you did things that were unjust, then eventually you would be punished for it because you're breaking the structure of the universe. Okay? So, this was the polytheistic worldview. Now, when you go to the monotheistic worldview, all this changes because now you have a new concept that never existed in human history before called one true God. And this changes everything, okay?
Because before as you can see, humans thought in a very complex, sophisticated, diverse, imaginative way about the world. But now with the with the advent of Christianity, it's only one true God. And as such, you have three new concepts that become dominant in this world. These These concepts have existed before, but now they're dominant. The first concept is the idea of truth.
Okay? If there's one true God, then there must be one truth to the universe. And so, when we move towards the truth, that is good, right? But when we move towards when we move away from the truth, that is evil. So, now you have a new concept called evil that that that didn't really exist before.
Okay? You did good things because in this world, it was to your advantage. Now, in this world, if you defy God, that is evil. Okay? And now with truth and evil, you have a new concept called the individual.
18:10Before in this world, what mattered was your family, your community, your society, the people around you. Now, with the advent of one true God, the community the family doesn't matter. What mattered is your loyalty, your faith in the one true God. So, you can actually step outside your community and just do what you believe is right as long as you have faith in the one true God. All right?
Okay? So, this three concepts, truth, evil, individual, are important for you to remember because they underpin modernity. These three concepts, once they grow to a certain extent, they will create modernity, the world we live in. Okay? Our world is controlled by these three forces.
Now, what's important for us to understand is these three concepts are beyond the human intuition. You cannot logically by yourself deduce or come up with these three concepts. This world of the mother goddess, it's intuitive. Okay? This polytheistic world is also intuitive, but the Christian world now is counterintuitive.
Okay? So, as a result, um for monotheism to triumph because it's so counter counterintuitive, it must now destroy the polytheistic world. Okay? So, the Romans spent a lot of time, taking centuries and centuries, to destroy the polytheistic world. But the thing is this.
You can never ever kill an idea. The idea, if it is being suppressed, just goes underground. Okay? So, remember here in the mother goddess civilization, the main instrument of religious worship are fertility cults run by women.
20:10Well, now that war has come and men have taken over from women, what happened is that the women went underground to create new religious organizations called mystery schools. And mystery schools, what they're trying to do is they're trying to maintain the best knowledge and traditions of the mother civilized the mother goddess civilization. Okay? Especially the fact that we come from the mind. We created the universe from our imagination.
Okay? That's the main secret that they're trying to maintain. These mystery schools become actually popular among the elite because they offer great sex. Okay? The elite join these mystery clubs as sex clubs, basically.
Um Remember, in this civilization, what matter is the womb. So, they develop all sorts of like secret sexual techniques to please the woman to make the woman feel as though she's in harmony with the uh uh universe. In this world the mother goddess, sex is a mechanism to communicate with the universe. To discover the secrets of the universe. And so, they maintain these rituals in the mystery schools.
The most powerful people will participate in these mystery schools. They're called mystery schools not because they're secret, but because everyone is sworn to secrecy. So, if you um ever divulge what actually goes in these mystery schools, you'll be punished by death. Okay? You'll be executed by the members.
But with the advent of Christianity, these mystery schools now are threat to the empire. Okay? Because these mystery schools are where the elite the local elite hang out. So, now what happens is now they become secret
22:11societies. Okay? That's where they come from. Secret societies are an attempt to maintain the secrets of the universe against the advent of Christianity and empire. And secret societies have been around for long, long time.
You may have heard of certain secret societies like the Knights Templars, Rosicrucians, Illuminati the Illum- Illuminati, the Freemasons. Okay? They're all very powerful. They're still around. Yes, I understand that.
But what I'm saying is there are a lot more secret societies that we do not know about and have been around for much longer. Okay? But they're all trying to maintain the secret of the universe, which is that mind leads to matter. That's the great secret of the universe. And this is something that we've always believed and always known, but with the advent of Christianity, this has been become suppressed over time.
All right? So, any questions before I move on? Okay. So, now what what I will do is I'm may I'm going to explain to you Christianity. And I'll explain to you what these secret societies believe.
Okay? I've I've I've already explained to you where they come from, but now what I will do is explain to you what they actually believe about the universe. Okay. So, what I'm going to do is first thing I'm going to do is explain to you what most Christians believe about the religion. Okay?
This is called the orthodox or the canonical perspective. Okay? So, this is what you're taught officially by the church. Christianity has many different factions, but they all they believe in a certain interpretation of the Bible. Okay?
Then what what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you the apocryphal
24:13apocryphal Apocryphal which just means hidden, okay? Or secret or esoteric. Just a secret knowledge that is kept within these secret secret societies. All right. So, the orthodox canonical comes from a reading of the Bible.
And the Bible at its core is a story of the covenant between God and humans. Okay? Covenant. Covenant means contract or understanding. So, throughout the Bible, there are a series of covenants.
Okay? The first covenant is between Adam and God. So, you may have heard of the story of the Garden of Eden, right? God creates the universe, then creates the Garden of Eden where he puts Adam and Eve. And God says to Adam and Eve, "This is paradise.
You don't have to work. Just enjoy life. The food is free. The food is plentiful. Every day you'll be happy and free of um want.
You will live forever. But there's only one thing that you must not do. And only one thing. Okay? Whatever you do, do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Just don't do that and you'll be okay." So, of course what do Adam and Eve do? They eat the stupid fruit. Okay? So, then what God does is he banishes Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and now they're forced to work to to grow food to feed themselves. Okay?
And this leads to um society. Okay? Development of society. God looks down from uh the heavens and sees that humans now are going to war. They are fighting their private property.
And God says, "I don't want this crap. This is not why I created humans. Okay?" So, he's like, "You know
26:14what? I'm going to I'm I'm going to destroy everyone and start over." But then he sees a human that he likes named Noah. And this leads to God saying to Noah, "Build a ship. Build an ark and save yourself because I will flood the universe. I will destroy the world." So, God God destroys the world and Noah lives.
And then God says to Noah, "You know what? That's kind of silly. I shouldn't have destroyed the universe. I promise never ever destroy the world again." Okay? That is his covenant with Noah.
But God sees that humans are still wicked and evil. He says, "You know what? I need to find a man who is good. And I I need him to grow a nation that can be the light of the world. That will be the best example of what it means to be a good person." So, he finds a man named Abraham.
And Abraham, of course, is the father of a nation called Israel. And so, this is the third covenant. God says to Abraham, "You and your children and your uh grandchildren and your great-grandchildren are now loyal to me. I see you as the chosen people and I give you the promised land." Okay? That's what Israel is, a promised land.
Over time what happens is that Abraham and his people they go off to Egypt. And in Egypt they become slaves to the pharaoh of Egypt. And then God is like, "You know what? I should check up on the Israelites and see how they're doing." He looks down and says, "Oops. They're now slaves to the pharaoh.
So, I I need now to fix this. Okay?" So, he appoints a man named Moses to free the Israelites from Egypt and take them back to the promised land. When Moses does this, God says, "Now what you must do is give the Israelites my law, the Ten Commandments."
28:14Okay? The law. Because otherwise, I can't trust you guys to behave. Okay? So, now this is the fourth covenant.
So, now the Israelites are back in the promised land, but again, and even though there's laws, they still become wicked and they start to worship false gods. So, God punishes them and God is now looking for a good leader of the Israelites. And then finally he finds a person named David who becomes the king of the Israelites and God says to David, "You are the person I've been looking for all eternity. You are the best example of what it means to be a faithful follower of me, Yahweh." Okay? And so, this is something called the Davidic covenant.
The Davidic covenant states that God will always favor Israel as the chosen nation. And the house of David will rule Israel forever. Okay? So, guys, quick question here. Who wrote the Bible?
Probably this guy. Okay? Right? If you had to guess who wrote the Bible, probably not Moses, probably not Abraham, probably not Noah, probably not Adam, probably this guy. Okay?
Because he's saying that all of these five, okay? I am the best. I'm the I'm the person that God loves the most. My family will rule the world because that is God's will. Okay?
Now, of course, that that's how it happens. Eventually David has a son named Solomon and these two are considered the two best rulers of Israel. And this is what we call the Davidic Kingdom, okay? The Davidic Kingdom, the golden age of Israel. But after Solomon, the Israelites turn wicked again and then God has to punish them and scattered Israel across the world.
Okay? And so, the last covenant is the arrival of Jesus.
30:16What Jesus does is that first of all, he reasserts the law of Moses and and say to the Israelite people, remember Moses and his law, because that's what God wants. Then, he sacrifices himself in order to free Israelites of the original sin. Right? Because God's pissed off at people because people ate the fruit. That's the original sin.
That's the first crime of disobedience against God. So, by killing himself, Jesus frees humanity of the original sin. He redeems humanity. Okay? The last thing that Jesus does is he creates a new covenant, okay?
A new covenant between humanity and God. From now on, because Jesus has freed everyone from the original sin, everyone can now be with God. You don't have to be Israelite, you don't have to follow the Mosaic law, you don't even have to come from the family of David. Anyone and everyone can now love God and God will love that person back, okay? And this, of course, starts Christianity.
All right? So, this guys, is called Judaism, what the Jews believe. Okay? And this is all six is what Christians believe, Christianity. All right?
The first five covenants are what Jews believe to be true. But they do believe that eventually someone will return to restore the kingdom of David, okay? But not Jesus. Not Jesus. The Christians believe that Jesus is the final prophet.
Okay? In fact, Jesus is God himself. That's why it's called Christianity. Because they believe in Jesus Christ. So, this is the entire history of Judaism and Christianity.
32:16What they believe, officially. Any questions before I move on? Okay? But now, I just going to understand, if you are a true Christian or you're a true Jew, there are actually lots of issues with this understanding. Okay?
The first issue is um why did God have to kick us out of the Garden of Eden? I mean, was eating a fruit so bad as to banish us from paradise? Like, what was wrong with eating that fruit, okay? That's a great mystery in the religion. Why did the original sin happen and why was God so angry?
Second problem is Noah. I mean, like God destroyed the world because we were wicked, but after he destroyed the world, we were still wicked. So, why did God have to destroy the world in the first place? If he's God, then she then shouldn't he understand how humans are? That wouldn't he understand that destroying the world would just I mean, it doesn't really do anything, okay?
So, that's kind of strange. The last problem is Jesus. Um who was Jesus? And why did he have to kill himself? Why did God have to send his only son to die for humanity?
Okay? So, if you're new to Christianity, the very idea of Jesus actually doesn't make much sense to you. I grew up in the West, I grew up in a Christian world and it never made sense to me, okay? People told me about great Jesus was, like, okay, the story doesn't make any sense. So, if you're really smart person, there are lots of there are lots of questions about this interpretation of the Bible and these are the three major ones.
Okay? So, now what I what I will do now is I'll explain to you what the esoteric what secret societies believe really happened. Okay? So,
34:16I want to start with Noah. Why did God destroy the world? The reason why God destroyed the world is not because of humans, but because of something else. These people are called the Nephilim, Nephilim. Okay, um also, by by the way, um if you guys are interested in learning more, there are two books that are not part of the Bible, but which will give you insight into the esoteric knowledge, okay?
The first is called the Book of Enoch. Book of Enoch. The second is called the Gospel of Thomas. Okay? All right.
So, I am using these two books as sources for my explanation, okay? So, the Nephilim are children of angels and women. Okay? So, what happened was that um the angels were supposed to watch humanity came down and saw, wow, these human humans, these females are really beautiful. So, what do they do?
Well, they have sex with them. All right? And then what happens? They have lots and lots of children. And what do these children do?
These children enslave humanity. These These people are called the Nephilim, okay? So, if you if you want to understand what happened, let's do a thought experiment. Let's just say that there's this group of superhumans called the Avengers. You know, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, okay?
And they fight Thanos and they save the world. And now what do they do? Well, they're bored, so they start to have lots and lots of sex. They have lots and lots of children and these children now are like demigods, right? So, what do they do?
Well, they enslave humanity, but then what do they do? Well, they start fighting amongst themselves, okay? So, that's basically what happened. So, God had to destroy the Nephilim because they are not natural. Angels and humans are not supposed to have sex with each other and like this creates a new
36:17um power called the Nephilim. The problem though is the Nephilim are divine and therefore they cannot be killed. So, you can kill with their mortal bodies, but now they become demons who live underground and are in the shadows. And guess what, guys? They're still here today.
So, these esoteric societies, they believe the Nephilim are real and they still control the world. The richest people in the world are actually Nephilim. Okay? Because they've been around for thousands of years and therefore they're able to control the development of humanity. Okay?
So, they're called the Nephilim. So, that's easy to understand. But now the question then is, wait a minute, why did Adam eat that apple that fruit and why did Jesus have to kill himself? Well, now it gets really complicated, okay? So, now I need I need to explain to you what the secret societies believe, okay?
Remember, they believe that mind leads to matter. What does that mean? Okay? Let me explain what this means, mind leads to matter. In the beginning, the true God is called the Monad.
Okay? The one. So, just think think of this as the core of the universe, the sun, the divine sun. The Monad is so powerful that when he breathes, okay? He vibrates divine energy.
And over millions of years, this divine energy creates new life forms. Okay? So, the first life form I'll call the Dyads. Dyads are just pairs, okay? Usually male, female that are children of the Monad and they're able by themselves to create new universes as well, okay?
So, the Dyads start to emanate, emanate, emanate, emanate, emanate, emanate, okay? So, so the entire universe is vibration, it's vibrational energy, it's it's the breathing of these cosmic beings. Okay? And over time, over millions of years, these vibrations become atoms,
38:21which then leads to matter, okay? That's what they mean by mind leads to matter. Now, one of these Dyads named Sophia decides, you know what? I can be just as good as the Monad. What does the Monad do?
The Monad is able to propagate by itself, by himself. He doesn't need to mate. So, Sophia Sophia says, you know what? I'm going to produce something by myself. I'm going to have a child by myself to prove I am the Monad, okay?
So, she does this and she creates a new being, okay? A new being. Which is called the Demiurge. There are different names, we'll call him the Demiurge. The Demiurge is a monster, a monstrosity, because it goes against the natural order.
Then Sophia is like, oops, I shouldn't have done that. So, so what does she do? She abandons the monstrosity. She throws him away and hides him in a sea of clouds. So, no one knows he actually exists.
Okay? Even the Demiurge doesn't know he exists. The Demiurge does not know about this world, right? Therefore, he believes that he must be the one true God capable of creating new life. So, what does he create?
Us. Okay? He creates the planet Earth. And then he and then he creates Adam and Eve. Okay?
That's what a monster would do, okay? Look at this history. What kind of God would kick someone out of paradise for eating a fruit? A monster would do it, right? What kind of God would kill a people for no particular reason?
A monster would do that. Okay? What kind of God would demand that a that a people be loyal to that person? A monster. What kind of God would enforce his will on a people?
A monster.
40:22What kind of God would say to someone, "You're the one person I like, everyone else I hate." A monster would do that. Okay? So, in other words, the true secret that these secret societies are trying to keep is the God we worship today is the false God. It's the And we are actually in a prison created by this false God. And that's who Jesus was.
Jesus was a cosmic being sent by the monad to tell us the truth about the world. And that's why he died, because the Roman Empire could not allow people to see the truth. If I told you the truth, you would know it right away. You would wake up. Therefore, the truth tellers must be killed.
Okay? So, that's what these secret societies believe. They believe that the monad exists and the mind of the monad is what creates creates the universe. And Jesus was sent to remind us that even though we're in a prison, there's still the monad in you. There's a spark in you, a divine light in you that you can activate.
And if you activate it, then you will return to the monad. You will see the truth for yourself. And when you die, your soul, which is part of the monad, will want to return to the monad and escape this world. But to activate this light, you must be a good person. You must love one another.
You must reject money and materialism and grades, okay? Grades in school. You must reject competition. You must reject material wealth in order to pursue spiritual happiness. Okay?
That was the message of Jesus. Now, you can imagine that the powers that be, the Nephilim, would not like this, okay? It's a threat threat to Nephilim who now control the prison created by the demiurge. It's also a threat threat to the demiurge. And that's why
42:24these secret societies have been over the centuries been repressed, been executed. Okay? Been massacred. But they believe that it is their duty to protect this secret, because only by protecting this secret can humanity be ultimately saved. Right?
Does that make sense? Okay? Any any questions? Right? So, you have the official version, which is what you're taught in school, but now you have the secret version that is only taught in secret societies.
The other thing about these secret societies that's really important is they believe that most of us cannot accept the truth. If I told you this, you'd think I'm crazy and report me to the police. Okay? Therefore, they can only wait for people to wake up by themselves and approach them. And if if you approach them, then they will test you and then they will reveal the secret of the universe to you.
Okay? And that's why these secret societies were founded and that's why they've been so persistent and so successful over the centuries. Right? So, now the question is, okay, this is a great theory, but how do we know it's true or not? How do we know that this is actually what they really thought?
Well, we know because in poetry, in literature, the members of these secret societies have embedded the secret within the poetry. So, if you're able to analyze the poetry properly, you will see for yourself that this is true. Okay? So, what we're going to do is we will study today the greatest poem in English language called Paradise Lost by John Milton, who was who actually was a member of these secret societies. Okay?
44:31Any questions be be be before I um continue? Okay. Okay. We're we're we're we're we're going to be doing Paradise Lost, okay? Are we clear?
Any questions? Yeah, there's there's there's a question here. Um if all of these are from the false God, do we have a like true God? Like do we? Or like is just a thing?
Okay. Yeah. So, in this system, the monad is the true God. Okay? And the question then is why doesn't the monad interfere?
Why doesn't the monad stop the demiurge from imprisoning us and making our lives hell? And um there are two explanations for why this is happening. Okay? The first ex- explanation is that the monad does not interfere in material affairs. Okay?
Because the monad is all it's all mind. And also, we have the capacity to reject this world and return to the monad. Right? So, why would he force us to um do what we don't want to do? Okay?
If you want to return to him, then you have the choice to engage in spirituality, to engage in goodness, to engage in knowledge, and then you'll be able to return to him, okay? That's the first explanation. Second ex- explanation is that and this comes from Dante, okay? The monad is a force that is eternal, perfect, and immutable. And therefore,
46:32the monad has no imagination. But how do you grow as a being? You grow through the imagination. So, in order for the monad to continue continue to grow, the monad allowed for the demiurge to create human beings. Because as human beings, we are flawed, we make mistakes, we commit evil.
But by committing evil, by making mistakes, we expand the imagination of the universe. Okay? Which allows the monad to to expand, okay? So, in this perspective Sorry Sorry, in this perspective, what is happening is that each time we imagine, we return to the monad. Okay?
So, so um it's hard to understand, but the monad it's there, it's eternal, but it's also becoming. It's also moving. And so, when we imagine things, when we commit mistakes, but at the same time, when we recognize these these mistakes and um try to adjust for these mistakes, we expand the imagination of the monad. And that's why these secret societies believe that evil and good exist together. You can only be good if you do evil.
Okay? Because e- by committing evil, it gives you a chance to become better. Okay? Does that make sense? All right.
All right. So, we're doing Paradise Lost. All right. This is um the national epic of the British Empire. If you are a member of the British Empire, which rules the world today, the Anglo-American Empire, it rules the world today, if you are an elite member
48:32of the British uh Empire, you memorize this poem, okay? And it becomes part of your soul, basically. And it's it's beautiful, okay? So, this was written by a man named John Milton. And John Milton, he was a rebel.
He was a free thinker. He want he questioned the world. He thought for himself. And he was a passionate advocate of free speech. He was a man who wrote Paradise Lost.
And he wrote it when he was blind. He could not see. Therefore, he had to speak it out and his secretaries had to write it down for him. As you can see, well, if a blind man is able to recite poetry, you must think he is a prophet. He's a messenger of God.
What he is revealing to you is divine truth. Okay? All right. So, John Milton, and his most famous work is called Paradise Lost. And for Paradise Lost is a foundational text of many secret societies.
They read this, they discuss this, they worship this text. And within this text lies the secrets of the universe. Okay? And but only, okay, this is this is really uh hard, but only you understand the secret secret yourself can you see the secrets it embedded in Paradise Lost. Okay?
All right. So, what we're going to do is we will read two speeches by Satan. The plot of Paradise Lost is really really simple. It's trying to reimagine the fall of man. Remember Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, then they eat that fruit and God banishes them.
Okay? So, Milton is trying to tell the story again. And he imagines a serpent who tricks Eve into eating the fruit as Satan himself. And Satan was God's uh favorite angel. They
50:34had a fight out. Satan rebelled against God. God won the war and Satan and the devils are now banished to hell. And Paradise Lost begins with the devils discussing what to do. They've lost this war against God.
They will never ever defeat God. Now they're stuck in hell. So, now what do they do? Some propose that, you know what? Let's go to Let's just create an empire.
Okay? Some are like, you know what? Let's just sit back and enjoy life. Okay? But Satan is determined to seek vengeance against God.
And so, what he wants to do is go to the Garden of Eden and corrupt Adam and Eve and destroy humanity forever. Okay? So, they all agree this is a great plan. But now the question then is, who's going to go? Because it's dangerous, right?
Because you're escaping hell, there are angels guarding hell, but even if you leave hell, you go into the abyss. You go into space, right? You don't even You don't even know where Earth is. You you get lost for all of eternity. So, no one wants to go.
So, at this time when no one wants to go, Satan steps up and says, "I will go." Okay? And this is his speech. "O progeny of heaven, imperial thrones, with reason have deep silence and demur seized us. Though undismayed, okay? I know you guys are scared.
All right? Long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to light. Our prison strong, this huge convex of fire outrageous to devour immerse us round ninefold and gates of burning adamant barred over us prohibit all egress. This prison is designed to keep us here for all of eternity. It will be hard to escape this prison.
These paths, if any paths, the void profound of unessential night receives him next, wide gaping and of other loss of being threatens him plunged in that abortive gulf. If thence he escape into
52:35whatever world or unknown region, what remains him less than unknown in dangers and as hard escape. Okay? If you can leave hell, you're still up in the abyss of the universe, right? You're going to be floating there for all of eternity. You don't know where you're going.
But I should ill become this throne, O peers, and this imperial sovereignty adorned with splendor, armed with power, if aught proposed and just a public moment in the shape of difficulty or danger could deter me from attempting. Wherefore do I assume these royalties and not refuse to reign, refusing to accept as great a share of hazard as of honor due alike to him who reigned and so much to him do of hazard more as he above the rest. Okay? So, what he's saying here is really simple. I'm your leader and therefore I must go.
You have trusted me to lead you for all of eternity and therefore I will risk my entire life to prove my worth. High honor sits. Go therefore, mighty powers, terror of heaven, though fallen, intend a home while here shall be our home. What best may ease the present misery and render hell more to more tolerable. If there be cure or charm to respite or deceive or slack the pain of this ill mention, intermit no watch against a wakeful foe while I brought through all the coasts of dark destruction seek deliverance for us all.
This enterprise none shall partake with me. I am your leader. I will go by myself. You guys can just sit here and like sip, you know, have some drinks, watch some TV, enjoy yourself. I don't care, okay?
I'm your leader. I will go by myself to redeem us, to deliver us from um our torment. Okay? So, as you can see, this is heroic. He is the grand hero.
A couple of things I will say about this speech is, number one, what he's
54:36describing, and secret societies believe it believe this, is he's describing his ascent from hell as almost uh our souls leaving our bodies to the heavens. Okay? And some secret societies believe that when you die, the first person you meet is Satan. Because it is Satan who knows how to take you from this world, the prison world, to the light. Because he's do- he's done this.
Okay? So, Satan is very important part of our journey back to the monad. That's a Also, if you study this um poetry very closely, you study the imagery, he what he's describing almost is a baby leaving the womb, right? Because the baby is a is in the womb, a prison, and then the baby escapes. So, secret societies believe that life and death are the same thing.
To be born, you must die. And when you die, you are born again. Okay? All right. The other thing is that these secret societies will use the speech as an initiation ceremony for members.
When you join secret society, you must by yourself choose to fight for all of humanity by yourself. You must be the hero. Okay? You must know when you join secret society, people will hunt you. People will want to kill you for speaking the truth.
Do you Do you dare to go on this journey? Okay? So, that's the first speech. The second speech is much more important. This is a speech where Satan, the serpent, convinces Eve to eat the fruit.
Okay? And this speech is very powerful, okay? So, I'm going to read really fast and then explain to you what it means. "O sacred, wise, and wisdom-giving plant, mother of science, now I feel thy power within me clear, not only to
56:36discern things in their causes, but to trace the ways of highest agents deemed ever wise." Eve is talking to the serpent and Eve is is is of course like, "Hey, what can you speak?" And the serpent says, "Because I ate that fruit from the knowledge of good and evil. It gives you power, okay?" So, the serpent now wants to convince Eve to eat that fruit. So, he invokes the power of the tree, right? "O sacred tree, give me the power to speak so well that I can convince Eve to do the impossible." "Queen of this universe, do not believe those rigid threats of death. You shall not die.
How should ye? But the fruit it gives you life unto knowledge. But the threatener, look on me, me who have touched and tasted yet both live." Okay? So, God has warned Eve Adam and Eve, "If you eat this fruit, you will die." And the serpent is saying, "No, that's not true. Look at me.
I ate the fruit and I'm still alive." "And life more perfect have attained than fate meant me by venturing higher than my lot. Shall that be shut to man which to beast is open? Or will God incense his ire for such a petty trespass and not praise rather your darkness virtue?" What he's saying saying here is really important. If he is a true God, he will reward you for your risk-taking. Right?
He said the fruit will kill you as a test. A true God will want you to become better and better. And you can only do that by transgressing, by making mistakes, by disobeying authority. And And a true God would reward you for seeking more knowledge. "Whom the pain of death denounced, whatever thing death be, deter not from achieving what might lead to happier life, not of good and evil, of good how just, of evil if what is evil be real, why not known since easier shunned?" We can only be good people if we know what evil is.
Right? If you don't know if good and
58:38evil, then you're just stupid. Okay? It's because you shun away from evil, you ignore evil, you fight evil that you're a good person. "God therefore cannot hurt you and be just, not just not God, nor feared then nor obeyed. Your fear itself of death removes the fear." Okay?
So, he's asking himself, "Why would God not allow you to eat that fruit? Why would you all Why would he keep you low and ignorant, his worshipers? He knows that in the day you eat, therefore, your eyes that seem so clear yet are but dim shall perfectly be then open and clear and you shall be as gods." So, what he's saying is this, there's two possibilities, okay? Either God is testing you. God really wants you to disobey him because that will allow you to achieve more virtue and knowledge.
Or God is enslaving you and keeping you ignorant because God is afraid that you might become God himself. Okay? So, there's two possibilities. All right. What can you not hurt him or this tree impart against his will of all be his?
Or is it envy and can envy dwell in heavenly breasts? If he is God, he is in control of everything. He knows everything. Therefore, if you eat this fruit, how could that possibly challenge him? Unless he's a false god.
Unless he's tricking you. Unless he is deceiving you. Unless he's trying to imprison you. Okay, that's the only possibility. Now, this is Satan's speech and you and you know, I took Milton in college.
I was an English major at Yale and I took in a semester of Paradise Lost. And at university I was taught that this speech shows you how clever and evil Satan is. He's lying to Eve. God is invincible, omniscient. You can't eat a fruit and become God.
That's ridiculous. Also, Eve is stupid because he she believes him, right? That's what you're taught in university. That's what you believe.
60:38But, this is really important. When you actually read the Bible, Satan is telling the truth. What What the Satan's logic is what the Bible says. Okay? A professor at Yale will tell you that Satan is lying.
When you actually read the Bible by yourself, you will see he's telling the truth. So, we're going to read the Bible together, okay? This is what the Bible says. This is the word of God. All right.
So, this is Genesis. Now, the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say you shall not eat from any tree in the garden?" Okay? So, in the Bible, this actually not Satan. It is a serpent.
The woman said to the serpent, "We may not eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it or you shall die.'" But, the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die, for God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be open and you'll be more like God, knowing good and evil." Okay? So, this is exactly what Satan said. Okay? And this is what the Bible is saying as well. Now, let's move on.
Eventually, God banishes Adam and Eve for eating the fruit. And you believe that they were banished because they disobeyed God. But, if you actually read the Bible, that's not what it says. For disobeying God, God punishes both Adam and Eve. Eve, now, when she gives birth, will suffer pain, right?
And Adam will now have to work hard to grow food. That's the punishment. The banishment is not the punishment. So, another question then is, why were they banished? Again, let's read the Bible, okay?
So, the woman saw saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise. She took of its fruit and ate. And she was also gave some to her husband
62:39who was with her and she ate. Then the eyes of both were opened. Okay? So, Satan is telling the truth. You will not die.
You will learn. You will be become higher. Okay? Satan was telling the truth. All right?
So, what So, So, why did God kick Adam and Eve out? And the Lord God said, "See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. And now he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever." This is why. There are two trees. The tree of knowledge, which allows you to have the mind of God, and the tree of life, which you lives allows you to live as long as God.
What God is saying is this. If Adam and Eve eat that uh tree that fruit from the knowledge of good and evil and then they eat also a fruit from the tree of life, they will be like us. Satan was telling the truth and God was lying to Adam and Eve all along. Okay? So, now the question then is, how did Eve know that Satan was telling the truth?
How did she know? How? Well, the problem is if you tried once and you're wrong, you die, right? So, how did she know? She was certain that Satan was telling the truth.
She was certain. Yes. He must be telling the truth. Why? The light in us.
You understand? The true God. The true God still speaks to us today. Right? The false god will lie to us, but inside you, in your heart, is the is the light that connects you back to the monad.
And that tells you what is false, what is true. Okay? That's how she knew. All right? So, you guys see Paradise Lost is now showing us the lost secrets of the universe.
All right. So,
64:40um I'll finish with by talking about the Nephilim. In the Bible, it says that the Nephilim are the children of them from angels and women, okay? The when people began to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that they were fair and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose. And the Lord said, "My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh. Their days shall be 120 years." Okay?
So, now God sees Nephilim as a threat as well. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterward, when the sons of God went into the daughters of humans who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown. Okay? This is really important because it introduces the Nephilim, which is still around today, okay?
According to these secret societies. But, also, what it's doing is this. It's telling us the children, the heroes that are of old, warriors of renown, who are they? They're Hercules, they're Achilles, they're Theseus. They're all heroes from different mythologies.
Where do they come from? They come from the mating of angels and humans. The sons of God, who are they? They are the old gods. Zeus, Ares, Apollo.
Okay? So, this is the beginning of monotheism, where the Bible is trying to destroy polytheistic mythologies and create one universe where the God is supreme. Okay? And in this universe, Zeus now becomes a son of God. And the children that Zeus has with mortal women are now called the Nephilim.
So, Hercules is Nephilim. Okay? So, we'll go into this theme throughout the semester, where the Bible is a tremendous act of propaganda that tries to re- re- invent reality around one true God. Okay? But, by doing that, it's denying our intuition and it's denying the
66:42history of humanity. All right. Okay. So, we'll continue this theme next class. Any questions before we conclude?
Yes. Well, I think nowadays a lot of us would pray to God like for getting something that we wanted, but as you said, like are we playing like praying to the true God or the false God? Do we know? Or like do do we get to know like from our wishes? Yeah.
So, that's a that's a great question. So, um according to these secret societies, okay? The truth is that when you pray, you're praying to a false god. Where's the true God? It's inside you.
Okay? So, don't pray to an outside force. Look inside to you and ask yourself, "I know for a fact what is true. If I believe in myself enough, then I will find the truth." Okay? And actually, that's a theme throughout Western poetry and literature.
The theme is that we will always be in conflict with it between the devil and God, between good and evil. And what we must do is not say like I must surrender to God. What we must do is believe in ourselves. Make mistakes, but know that you will eventually find a light because the light is in you, okay? As long as you still believe in yourself, all this all these mistakes you make will become your strength because they become part of your wisdom.
Okay? That's the divine truth that these secret societies are trying to promote. It's okay to make make make mistakes. It's okay to do evil, but listen to the light and the light will tell you how to redeem yourself. Okay?
The possibility for redemption, for growth, for imagination is all in us because of our connection to the monad. The monad will reward you for believing in yourself. But, you must first believe in yourself. And believing in yourself means often defying authority, making
68:43mistakes, transgression transgression against rules of society. Okay? And that's the ultimate secret that these secret societies are trying to keep. All right. Any more questions?
That's a really good question. Thank you. Well, well well, the gods are usually depicted as uh the most beautiful. Then why uh gods like Zeus, they will come to uh human society and uh give birth um with um fertilized with the human um girls. Okay.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um, so there So, the question then is, why are the angels doing this?
Okay? There are two explanations. Okay? So, the first explanation is these angels are created by the false god, right? So, they're they're wicked anyway.
Okay? The second explanation is that if you're like a hot-looking woman and you see an angel, I don't know, man. You know, you're probably going to want to marry that person. Okay. All right.
Anyway, um if you're interested in learning more, there's a book called The Book of Enoch, which goes into detail about the Nephilim, okay? But, the Nephilim are really important topic throughout the semester because a lot of secret societies believe in the Nephilim. And that's And that's going to motivate them before, okay? Now, what I've discussed today is how these secret societies were born. And as you can see, um they started off as a noble mission.
But, then the question then is like, how did they become corrupted over time? Well, that's something I will discuss later on, okay? All right. So, I'll see you guys next class.
