Summary

The Last Supper has marked the Christian tradition for over 2,000 years. It s the way in which Christians have shown their loyalty to Jesus, their loyalty in some sense to the church, and to come together with each other in order to give some sort of symbolic or actual confession of their participation in the crucifixion of Christ.

00:01:44.480 so churches across the nation and indeed around the world are now moving to virtual worship services
00:01:53.960 online services either live streamed or recorded ahead of time or posted to YouTube or Facebook
00:02:01.160 or Zoom or GoToMeeting or however churches are doing this

00:02:49.860 and turning to virtual reality
00:02:52.020 to hop into the metaverse
00:02:55.040 all you need is a headset

00:03:22.860 and I'll go ahead and verbally talk us through it
00:03:27.060 remembering it all
00:03:28.360 as we partake of the bread
00:03:30.020 we are remembering Jesus' body
00:03:32.200 that was broken for you
00:03:33.520 his body was broken
00:03:35.820 and blood was shed
00:03:37.540 so that we would never
00:03:39.100 have to be abandoned
00:03:40.360 hello it is Thursday
00:03:43.300 March 28th
00:03:44.380 in the year of our Lord
00:03:45.360 2024
00:03:46.100 I'm Joe Allen
00:03:47.940 sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon
00:03:49.980 on The War Room
00:03:51.280 this will be the first of a two-part series
00:03:54.780 Communion and Crucifixion
00:03:56.840 an iconic panorama of the Passion
00:03:59.240 the subject is of course Jesus
00:04:03.180 Jesus Christ
00:04:04.240 the Savior of the Christian tradition
00:04:06.580 the subject of our talk here though
00:04:10.620 is not necessarily a theological one
00:04:13.040 I am not a theologian
00:04:14.340 I am not a minister
00:04:15.740 my purpose is not to proselytize
00:04:17.940 nor to interpret the scripture for you
00:04:19.740 my purpose is to give you a sense
00:04:23.020 of how the images of Jesus have changed
00:04:25.900 from the time of Christ himself
00:04:28.160 through the spread of the early church
00:04:31.080 to orthodoxy
00:04:32.420 into the Protestant Reformation
00:04:35.260 and of course
00:04:36.120 the postmodern period
00:04:37.680 in which we find ourselves
00:04:38.980 where relentless transformation
00:04:40.720 sees the images of Jesus distorted
00:04:43.080 and in my view
00:04:44.760 perverted
00:04:45.440 far outside of anything
00:04:47.660 that was originally intended
00:04:49.060 in the gospel
00:04:50.260 to begin with
00:04:52.260 I would like to talk about
00:04:53.280 the communion
00:04:54.520 the last supper
00:04:56.640 that Jesus
00:04:57.900 put together
00:04:59.100 with his disciples
00:05:00.100 he brought together
00:05:01.980 those closest to him
00:05:03.440 he broke bread
00:05:05.000 which he said
00:05:05.920 was symbolic of his body
00:05:07.620 he passed a cup of wine
00:05:10.520 which he said
00:05:11.140 was symbolic of his blood
00:05:13.140 and this communion
00:05:15.440 this supper
00:05:17.000 has marked the Christian tradition
00:05:19.580 for 2,000 years
00:05:21.380 it is the way in which Christians
00:05:24.080 have shown their loyalty
00:05:26.500 to Jesus
00:05:28.140 their loyalty in some sense
00:05:29.800 to the church
00:05:30.820 and to come together with each other
00:05:33.000 in order to give some sort of
00:05:36.800 of symbolic
00:05:38.700 or actual
00:05:40.680 confession
00:05:42.040 of their participation
00:05:43.420 in the crucifixion
00:05:44.860 of Christ
00:05:45.820 just to give you a sense
00:05:47.780 of the different images
00:05:49.420 of Jesus
00:05:50.140 that we're talking about
00:05:51.420 you see here
00:05:53.640 an orthodox depiction
00:05:55.260 of the last supper
00:05:57.180 the icon
00:05:58.180 as you can see
00:05:59.440 is somewhat vague
00:06:01.340 as to the physical features
00:06:02.740 this comes from
00:06:03.760 the 15th century
00:06:04.880 in the orthodox tradition
00:06:07.660 the images of Jesus
00:06:08.960 the icons
00:06:09.800 are intended to be
00:06:12.180 ways to direct
00:06:13.540 the attention
00:06:14.220 or the consciousness
00:06:14.980 towards
00:06:16.220 supernatural entities
00:06:18.680 who are not
00:06:19.980 readily accessible
00:06:21.020 obviously by the senses
00:06:22.600 or in any way
00:06:23.900 that would be
00:06:25.280 literal
00:06:27.260 for the
00:06:29.020 for the
00:06:29.660 the worshiper
00:06:30.420 this is a bit different
00:06:32.260 in some ways
00:06:33.000 from the Catholic
00:06:33.660 portrayal
00:06:34.500 the Catholic portrayal
00:06:35.460 of course
00:06:35.960 has been
00:06:37.200 more realistic
00:06:39.340 more photorealistic
00:06:40.580 of course
00:06:41.000 the statues
00:06:41.620 are three dimensional
00:06:43.160 and often times
00:06:44.340 very very
00:06:44.880 lifelike
00:06:45.880 or you know
00:06:46.860 intended
00:06:47.280 to actually capture
00:06:49.000 the physicality
00:06:50.300 for Catholics
00:06:51.200 this is not to say
00:06:52.100 that Catholics
00:06:52.680 are idolatrous
00:06:54.420 again
00:06:54.940 this is not
00:06:55.780 a sermon
00:06:56.780 but it is to say
00:06:58.120 that these are
00:06:58.640 very very different ways
00:07:00.000 of approaching
00:07:00.640 the divine
00:07:01.940 and in the
00:07:03.700 Last Supper
00:07:04.380 here you see
00:07:05.420 the iconic
00:07:06.400 image from
00:07:07.540 Leonardo da Vinci
00:07:08.620 you can see
00:07:10.900 a sense of
00:07:11.500 drama
00:07:12.140 that
00:07:13.020 the intent
00:07:14.180 is to bring
00:07:15.140 the worshiper
00:07:16.020 into the world
00:07:17.500 of first century
00:07:18.940 Rome
00:07:19.480 and Judea
00:07:21.160 in the time
00:07:22.780 of Jesus
00:07:24.060 we have here
00:07:25.480 a much more
00:07:26.660 modern
00:07:27.160 portrayal
00:07:28.340 this comes
00:07:29.420 from Salvador
00:07:30.060 Dali
00:07:30.520 it looks as if
00:07:32.180 the Last Supper
00:07:33.000 is occurring
00:07:33.660 not in
00:07:34.460 a nondescript
00:07:35.460 home
00:07:36.060 as it's
00:07:37.040 portrayed
00:07:37.480 in the
00:07:38.040 in the gospels
00:07:38.900 but rather
00:07:39.760 in some sort
00:07:40.780 of you know
00:07:41.320 post-modern
00:07:42.140 sky rise
00:07:44.080 and there's
00:07:45.360 you know
00:07:45.740 a lot of
00:07:46.320 imagination here
00:07:47.220 you see
00:07:47.700 a kind of
00:07:48.520 supernatural
00:07:49.100 figure
00:07:50.140 that kind of
00:07:50.960 anticipates
00:07:52.500 the crucifixion
00:07:53.440 of Jesus
00:07:53.940 hovering over
00:07:54.940 the occasion
00:07:55.920 you can see
00:07:56.860 a kind of
00:07:57.220 translucence
00:07:58.040 to the
00:07:58.640 figures
00:07:59.080 these
00:08:00.260 transformative
00:08:01.520 or these
00:08:02.380 transformed
00:08:03.080 images
00:08:03.840 of Jesus
00:08:04.580 will be
00:08:05.800 rife
00:08:06.400 throughout
00:08:06.900 the modern
00:08:07.760 period
00:08:08.120 as we'll
00:08:08.520 soon see
00:08:09.160 the cold
00:08:10.560 open
00:08:10.960 we saw
00:08:11.880 people
00:08:12.360 talking about
00:08:13.220 coming together
00:08:13.880 for communion
00:08:15.200 or the Lord's
00:08:16.200 Supper
00:08:16.440 in virtual
00:08:17.380 reality
00:08:17.980 and there
00:08:19.080 are a number
00:08:19.720 of different
00:08:20.400 kind of
00:08:21.120 fringe
00:08:21.680 religious
00:08:22.160 organizations
00:08:22.980 that are
00:08:24.480 working
00:08:25.100 towards
00:08:25.960 creating
00:08:26.640 virtual
00:08:27.660 digital
00:08:28.580 icons
00:08:29.280 of Jesus
00:08:29.800 digital
00:08:30.360 images
00:08:30.820 of Jesus
00:08:31.420 with which
00:08:32.640 the worshiper
00:08:33.540 can commune
00:08:34.780 in a very
00:08:35.680 very literal
00:08:36.640 way
00:08:36.900 in a very
00:08:37.380 realistic
00:08:38.000 way
00:08:38.460 and what
00:08:39.960 I see
00:08:40.600 in it
00:08:41.040 in all
00:08:41.480 of this
00:08:41.960 is
00:08:42.800 basically
00:08:44.100 the
00:08:45.400 traditions
00:08:46.420 of the
00:08:47.500 ancient
00:08:47.880 past
00:08:48.500 shrinking
00:08:50.140 in their
00:08:50.660 influence
00:08:51.260 shrinking
00:08:51.880 in their
00:08:52.420 impact
00:08:53.000 and being
00:08:54.240 replaced
00:08:55.220 in many
00:08:55.720 ways
00:08:56.100 either
00:08:56.420 by
00:08:56.700 modern
00:08:57.020 secular
00:08:57.380 culture
00:08:57.880 or
00:08:58.800 by
00:08:59.360 a
00:08:59.780 postmodern
00:09:00.420 highly
00:09:00.980 digitized
00:09:01.780 religious
00:09:02.160 culture
00:09:02.620 that is
00:09:03.820 a sort
00:09:05.240 of synthesis
00:09:05.860 of the
00:09:07.220 modern and
00:09:08.020 postmodern
00:09:08.520 view
00:09:08.900 with the
00:09:09.680 traditional
00:09:10.220 views
00:09:10.760 now
00:09:11.580 a number
00:09:12.380 of critics
00:09:13.220 of
00:09:13.680 Christianity
00:09:14.460 looked
00:09:15.740 at
00:09:16.280 Jesus
00:09:16.860 as not
00:09:18.220 a historical
00:09:19.060 figure
00:09:19.540 but rather
00:09:20.680 as a
00:09:21.200 kind of
00:09:21.520 reconstruction
00:09:22.220 of ancient
00:09:23.620 pagan
00:09:24.020 myths
00:09:24.540 you can
00:09:25.780 see
00:09:26.260 in these

00:09:55.340 as
00:09:55.720 precursors
00:09:56.420 as
00:09:56.640 anticipations
00:09:57.520 of

00:10:45.720 a

00:10:54.440 a lot
00:10:54.840 of

00:10:55.680 and

00:11:00.200 is
00:11:00.900 that
00:11:01.240 that
00:11:01.520 feast
00:11:02.040 was
00:11:02.600 basically
00:11:03.440 reenacted
00:11:04.400 not
00:11:05.380 only
00:11:05.820 in

00:11:11.940 to
00:11:12.120 some

00:12:14.840 again
00:12:15.580 you

00:12:24.180 was
00:12:24.920 in
00:12:25.140 some
00:12:25.820 way
00:12:26.080 a

00:12:26.940 of

00:13:01.040 the

00:13:10.460 in
00:13:11.380 essence
00:13:11.820 a

00:14:12.980 on
00:14:14.040 the
00:14:14.280 right
00:14:15.000 what
00:14:15.920 this
00:14:16.440 tells
00:14:17.300 us
00:14:17.780 is
00:14:18.360 that
00:14:18.940 to
00:14:19.620 some
00:14:19.920 extent
00:14:20.460 from
00:14:21.420 the
00:14:21.740 very
00:14:21.960 beginning
00:14:22.440 the
00:14:23.580 message
00:14:24.320 of
00:14:24.520 Jesus
00:14:24.760 had
00:14:25.180 to
00:14:25.340 be
00:14:25.500 transmitted
00:14:25.960 across
00:14:26.440 various
00:14:26.800 languages
00:14:27.240 and
00:14:27.840 the
00:14:28.120 images
00:14:28.460 of
00:14:28.740 Jesus
00:14:29.060 were
00:14:29.900 oftentimes
00:14:30.600 transformed
00:14:31.920 in
00:14:32.300 order
00:14:32.680 to
00:14:33.480 capture
00:14:34.380 the
00:14:34.700 imagination
00:14:35.340 of
00:14:36.000 worshipers
00:14:36.680 it's
00:14:37.820 very
00:14:38.140 important
00:14:38.820 in
00:14:39.260 terms
00:14:39.640 of
00:14:39.780 the
00:14:39.880 communion
00:14:40.260 because
00:14:40.660 what
00:14:41.040 we're
00:14:41.200 talking
00:14:41.540 about
00:14:41.860 is
00:14:42.020 the
00:14:42.200 importance
00:14:42.640 of
00:14:43.180 the
00:14:43.640 body
00:14:44.120 this
00:14:45.380 concept
00:14:45.820 of
00:14:46.000 the
00:14:46.120 body
00:14:46.360 is
00:14:46.520 very
00:14:46.720 important
00:14:47.220 when
00:14:47.520 we
00:14:47.640 look
00:14:47.800 at
00:14:47.880 the
00:14:48.000 gospels
00:14:48.480 because
00:14:48.720 we
00:14:48.920 see
00:14:49.200 Jesus
00:14:49.780 in
00:14:50.400 his
00:14:50.600 life
00:14:51.020 unfolding
00:14:51.580 as
00:14:52.020 a
00:14:52.280 man
00:14:52.660 as
00:14:53.440 a
00:14:53.640 human
00:14:53.920 being
00:14:54.400 and
00:14:55.120 so
00:14:55.360 when
00:14:55.620 we
00:14:55.720 go
00:14:55.860 to
00:14:55.960 the
00:14:56.080 last
00:14:56.300 supper
00:14:56.580 and
00:14:57.080 we
00:14:57.220 see
00:14:57.520 in
00:14:57.680 the
00:14:57.800 gospel
00:14:58.120 he
00:14:58.380 is
00:14:58.540 eating
00:14:58.920 with
00:14:59.340 his
00:14:59.520 disciples
00:15:00.000 he
00:15:00.820 is
00:15:00.980 washing
00:15:01.320 their
00:15:01.580 feet
00:15:02.080 in
00:15:02.780 an
00:15:02.900 act
00:15:03.080 of
00:15:03.220 humility
00:15:03.680 he
00:15:04.880 is
00:15:05.340 very
00:15:05.620 much
00:15:05.900 a
00:15:06.120 physical
00:15:06.440 being
00:15:06.940 and
00:15:07.180 he
00:15:07.320 is
00:15:07.520 talking
00:15:07.920 to
00:15:08.300 them
00:15:08.620 about
00:15:09.140 his
00:15:09.740 body
00:15:10.060 being
00:15:10.360 broken
00:15:10.840 as
00:15:11.500 a
00:15:11.660 sacrifice
00:15:12.240 in
00:15:13.000 order
00:15:13.340 that
00:15:13.780 people
00:15:14.220 may
00:15:14.700 be
00:15:14.940 saved
00:15:15.460 from
00:15:15.960 the
00:15:16.540 depredations
00:15:17.300 of
00:15:17.700 Satan
00:15:18.120 of
00:15:18.660 the
00:15:18.840 devil
00:15:19.160 and
00:15:20.140 it's
00:15:21.180 taking
00:15:22.020 place
00:15:22.720 during
00:15:23.560 Passover
00:15:24.360 so
00:15:24.620 we
00:15:24.780 see
00:15:25.080 Jesus
00:15:25.560 as
00:15:26.460 not
00:15:26.900 just
00:15:27.160 a
00:15:27.320 human
00:15:27.600 but
00:15:28.120 as
00:15:28.440 a
00:15:28.880 Jew
00:15:29.180 as
00:15:29.420 a
00:15:29.640 Jewish
00:15:30.020 rabbi
00:15:30.960 and
00:15:31.700 he's
00:15:32.100 oftentimes
00:15:32.400 called
00:15:33.140 rabbi
00:15:33.660 throughout
00:15:33.940 the
00:15:34.140 gospels
00:15:34.680 he
00:15:35.160 is
00:15:35.420 basically
00:15:35.980 presiding
00:15:36.720 over
00:15:37.260 a
00:15:37.500 Passover
00:15:37.880 meal
00:15:38.320 as
00:15:39.060 a
00:15:39.340 Jew
00:15:39.540 but
00:15:39.740 the
00:15:40.020 Jewish
00:15:40.680 tradition
00:15:41.360 would
00:15:42.060 be
00:15:42.220 dramatically
00:15:42.700 altered
00:15:43.160 in
00:15:43.420 subsequent
00:15:43.780 Christian
00:15:44.400 tradition
00:15:44.880 you
00:15:45.560 would
00:15:45.720 have
00:15:46.080 the
00:15:46.320 Passover
00:15:46.860 celebrated
00:15:47.800 now
00:15:48.200 as
00:15:48.620 the
00:15:48.900 Holy
00:15:49.260 Supper
00:15:49.800 as
00:15:50.060 the
00:15:50.300 communion
00:15:50.820 as
00:15:51.480 the
00:15:51.780 Lord's
00:15:52.240 Supper
00:15:52.480 and
00:15:53.120 instead
00:15:53.640 of
00:15:54.160 the
00:15:54.400 various
00:15:54.800 elements
00:15:55.300 representing
00:15:55.860 the
00:15:56.180 story
00:15:56.580 of
00:15:56.900 Exodus
00:15:57.300 the
00:15:58.000 various
00:15:58.320 elements
00:15:58.720 now
00:15:59.180 represent
00:15:59.900 a
00:16:00.120 kind
00:16:00.260 of
00:16:00.380 exodus
00:16:00.760 of
00:16:01.020 the
00:16:01.240 soul
00:16:01.640 across
00:16:02.700 the
00:16:03.420 desert
00:16:04.800 of
00:16:05.180 this
00:16:05.400 world
00:16:05.860 and
00:16:06.340 into
00:16:06.540 the
00:16:06.720 promised
00:16:07.100 land
00:16:07.560 of
00:16:07.880 heaven
00:16:08.400 the
00:16:09.460 story
00:16:10.200 of
00:16:10.420 the
00:16:10.560 Last
00:16:10.800 Supper
00:16:11.060 also
00:16:11.480 features
00:16:12.060 Jesus'
00:16:12.740 betrayal
00:16:13.220 and so
00:16:13.620 we
00:16:13.780 see
00:16:14.020 one
00:16:14.260 of
00:16:14.340 the
00:16:14.500 darker
00:16:14.820 elements
00:16:15.400 of
00:16:16.040 human
00:16:16.420 nature
00:16:16.800 when
00:16:17.420 Judas
00:16:17.760 Iscariot
00:16:18.480 is
00:16:19.420 given
00:16:20.080 a piece
00:16:20.580 of bread
00:16:20.960 to indicate
00:16:21.580 that he
00:16:22.000 is the
00:16:22.280 one
00:16:22.480 that will
00:16:22.840 betray
00:16:23.340 Jesus
00:16:23.800 to
00:16:24.640 the
00:16:25.060 Romans
00:16:25.500 we
00:16:26.520 see
00:16:26.860 in
00:16:27.040 the
00:16:27.140 book
00:16:27.280 of
00:16:27.460 John
00:16:27.920 that
00:16:28.560 that
00:16:28.820 is
00:16:28.980 the
00:16:29.120 moment
00:16:29.340 in
00:16:29.520 which
00:16:29.760 Satan
00:16:30.360 entered
00:16:30.960 into
00:16:31.440 him
00:16:31.720 we
00:16:32.160 see
00:16:32.460 that
00:16:32.660 human
00:16:32.960 nature
00:16:33.360 is
00:16:33.780 in
00:16:33.980 some
00:16:34.200 sense
00:16:34.480 resonant
00:16:35.040 also
00:16:35.440 with
00:16:36.340 this
00:16:36.780 evil
00:16:37.580 this
00:16:37.920 demonic
00:16:38.340 force
00:16:38.940 but
00:16:39.560 what's
00:16:39.840 ironic
00:16:40.300 about
00:16:40.740 this
00:16:41.080 what's
00:16:41.380 ironic
00:16:41.740 about
00:16:42.240 Satan
00:16:42.780 having
00:16:43.420 a
00:16:43.660 crucial
00:16:43.960 role
00:16:44.260 in
00:16:44.360 the
00:16:44.440 crucifixion
00:16:45.040 is
00:16:45.660 that
00:16:46.060 the
00:16:46.560 crucifixion
00:16:47.120 itself
00:16:47.700 has
00:16:48.320 to
00:16:48.520 unfold
00:16:49.020 according
00:16:49.400 to
00:16:49.860 Orthodox
00:16:50.420 Christian
00:16:50.960 theology
00:16:51.500 in order
00:16:52.440 for
00:16:52.960 Jesus
00:16:53.320 to
00:16:53.500 be
00:16:53.640 sacrificed
00:16:54.020 in
00:16:54.320 order
00:16:54.560 for
00:16:54.800 the
00:16:54.960 world
00:16:55.180 to
00:16:55.340 be
00:16:55.500 saved
00:16:55.840 it's
00:16:56.220 a
00:16:56.340 very
00:16:56.520 complex
00:16:57.080 web
00:16:57.560 of
00:16:58.320 narratives
00:16:58.860 and
00:16:59.380 figures
00:16:59.820 that
00:17:00.680 shift
00:17:01.520 from
00:17:01.840 one
00:17:02.080 gospel
00:17:02.400 to
00:17:02.620 the
00:17:02.740 next
00:17:03.040 in
00:17:03.500 Matthew
00:17:03.900 Mark
00:17:04.680 Luke
00:17:05.360 you
00:17:06.160 see
00:17:06.520 in
00:17:06.760 the
00:17:06.900 synoptic
00:17:07.380 gospels
00:17:07.900 you
00:17:08.420 see
00:17:08.740 Jesus
00:17:09.300 with
00:17:09.960 his
00:17:10.120 disciples
00:17:10.560 talking
00:17:11.120 about
00:17:11.520 the
00:17:11.800 bread
00:17:12.760 and
00:17:13.020 the
00:17:13.200 wine
00:17:13.580 being
00:17:14.180 in
00:17:14.460 remembrance
00:17:14.960 of
00:17:15.640 him
00:17:15.920 but
00:17:16.780 in
00:17:17.100 the
00:17:17.440 gospel
00:17:17.740 of
00:17:17.960 John
00:17:18.360 in
00:17:18.740 the
00:17:18.960 more
00:17:19.140 mystical
00:17:19.580 gospel
00:17:20.120 conveyed
00:17:20.560 to
00:17:21.000 the
00:17:21.300 beloved
00:17:21.620 disciple
00:17:22.120 according
00:17:22.580 to
00:17:23.020 its
00:17:23.780 words
00:17:24.340 you
00:17:25.000 have
00:17:25.620 a
00:17:25.820 somewhat
00:17:26.360 different
00:17:27.000 or at
00:17:27.600 least
00:17:27.860 a
00:17:28.300 more
00:17:28.660 intense
00:17:29.640 interpretation
00:17:30.260 of
00:17:31.280 what
00:17:31.620 Jesus
00:17:31.980 meant
00:17:32.340 by
00:17:32.520 the
00:17:32.660 bread
00:17:32.840 and
00:17:32.940 the
00:17:33.060 wine
00:17:33.360 we
00:17:33.760 see
00:17:33.940 in
00:17:34.040 a
00:17:34.140 passage
00:17:34.620 not
00:17:35.480 during
00:17:35.880 the
00:17:36.060 Lord's
00:17:36.340 Supper
00:17:36.440 but
00:17:36.640 in
00:17:36.760 an
00:17:36.940 earlier
00:17:37.320 sequence
00:17:38.420 you
00:17:39.100 see
00:17:39.520 Jesus
00:17:40.180 saying
00:17:41.040 that
00:17:41.680 he
00:17:41.960 is
00:17:42.380 the
00:17:42.600 bread
00:17:42.940 of
00:17:43.180 heaven
00:17:43.540 that
00:17:44.400 the
00:17:45.100 bread
00:17:45.560 of
00:17:45.780 heaven
00:17:46.100 his
00:17:46.320 body
00:17:46.820 and
00:17:47.500 the
00:17:47.860 blood
00:17:48.700 the
00:17:49.340 wine
00:17:51.060 that
00:17:51.880 Jesus
00:17:52.740 is
00:17:53.380 in
00:17:53.640 fact
00:17:53.920 offering
00:17:54.440 his
00:17:54.900 body
00:17:55.240 as
00:17:55.720 a
00:17:55.960 form
00:17:56.200 of
00:17:56.360 salvation
00:17:56.780 in
00:17:57.060 and
00:17:57.140 of
00:17:57.240 itself
00:17:57.640 and
00:17:57.840 so
00:17:57.960 that
00:17:58.140 becomes
00:17:58.700 very
00:17:59.180 apparent
00:17:59.560 in
00:17:59.880 the
00:18:00.060 Catholic
00:18:00.680 tradition
00:18:01.240 and
00:18:01.880 the
00:18:02.100 Orthodox
00:18:02.440 tradition
00:18:03.120 and
00:18:03.900 somewhat
00:18:04.240 subdued
00:18:04.840 in the
00:18:05.080 Protestant
00:18:05.500 tradition
00:18:06.320 this
00:18:07.640 is
00:18:07.820 also
00:18:08.220 a
00:18:08.880 good
00:18:09.300 opportunity
00:18:09.780 to
00:18:10.080 look
00:18:10.340 at
00:18:10.460 the
00:18:10.620 ways
00:18:11.000 in
00:18:11.240 which
00:18:11.640 different

00:18:13.240 contemporary
00:18:14.360 to the
00:18:15.100 early
00:18:15.340 Christians
00:18:15.780 saw
00:18:16.180 the
00:18:16.440 Christians
00:18:16.800 themselves
00:18:17.340 the
00:18:17.920 Romans
00:18:18.300 of
00:18:18.640 course
00:18:19.000 who
00:18:19.420 crucified
00:18:19.920 Jesus
00:18:20.460 would
00:18:21.620 condemn
00:18:22.240 the
00:18:22.660 subsequent
00:18:23.040 Christian
00:18:23.660 church
00:18:24.200 for
00:18:24.900 various
00:18:25.520 forms
00:18:26.020 of
00:18:26.180 idolatry
00:18:26.800 the

00:18:28.700 the
00:18:29.060 emperor
00:18:29.460 and
00:18:30.340 they
00:18:30.760 accused
00:18:31.480 the
00:18:31.740 Christians
00:18:32.220 of
00:18:32.800 cannibalism
00:18:34.020 they
00:18:34.680 there
00:18:35.720 were

00:18:37.140 from
00:18:37.520 Roman
00:18:37.760 historians
00:18:38.280 but
00:18:38.840 maybe
00:18:39.160 one
00:18:39.400 of
00:18:39.480 the
00:18:39.560 most
00:18:39.740 important
00:18:40.160 was
00:18:40.540 in

00:18:51.140 the
00:18:51.300 Roman
00:18:51.640 is
00:18:52.200 accusing
00:18:52.700 the
00:18:52.960 Christian
00:18:53.280 of
00:18:53.500 actually

00:19:01.480 this
00:19:02.100 is
00:19:02.440 not
00:19:02.760 I
00:19:03.480 don't
00:19:03.800 bring
00:19:03.980 this
00:19:04.160 up
00:19:04.440 to
00:19:04.640 linger
00:19:04.940 on

00:19:05.840 of
00:19:06.120 it
00:19:06.320 but
00:19:06.940 I
00:19:07.120 do
00:19:07.380 bring
00:19:07.680 it
00:19:07.800 up
00:19:07.960 to
00:19:08.120 show
00:19:08.440 that
00:19:08.660 the
00:19:08.820 images
00:19:09.120 of
00:19:09.360 Jesus
00:19:12.880 and
00:19:13.360 that
00:19:13.780 the

00:19:15.440 of
00:19:16.240 all
00:19:17.960 manner
00:19:18.420 of
00:19:18.960 blasphemy
00:19:19.780 and
00:19:20.020 depravity
00:19:20.740 before
00:19:22.260 the
00:19:22.580 Christians
00:19:22.880 took
00:19:23.200 power
00:19:23.580 in
00:19:23.780 the
00:19:23.900 Orthodox
00:19:24.200 Church
00:19:24.820 were
00:19:25.720 used
00:19:26.300 to
00:19:26.580 justify
00:19:27.180 the
00:19:27.680 constant
00:19:28.260 persecution
00:19:29.000 and
00:19:29.700 attempted
00:19:30.060 removal
00:19:30.600 of
00:19:31.300 Christians
00:19:31.660 from
00:19:32.080 Roman
00:19:32.420 society
00:19:33.000 now
00:19:33.600 this
00:19:33.860 would
00:19:34.040 continue
00:19:34.440 on
00:19:34.940 once
00:19:35.900 Christians
00:19:36.600 did
00:19:37.380 ascend
00:19:37.780 to
00:19:37.920 the
00:19:38.080 Orthodoxy
00:19:38.680 but
00:19:38.860 from
00:19:39.040 the
00:19:39.200 other
00:19:39.380 side
00:19:39.920 and
00:19:40.580 so
00:19:40.880 we
00:19:41.280 see
00:19:41.820 in
00:19:42.080 the
00:19:42.260 work
00:19:42.700 of
00:19:43.040 one
00:19:43.760 heretic
00:19:45.020 hunter
00:19:45.440 Epiphanius
00:19:46.300 the
00:19:46.960 accusation
00:19:47.940 that
00:19:48.360 the
00:19:48.760 non-Orthodox
00:19:50.160 Gnostic
00:19:50.940 Christians
00:19:51.820 the
00:19:52.080 Borberites
00:19:52.800 that
00:19:53.460 they
00:19:53.880 were
00:19:54.200 also
00:19:54.660 conducting
00:19:55.260 a
00:19:55.440 sort
00:19:55.600 of
00:19:55.740 perverse
00:19:56.320 Last
00:19:57.020 Supper
00:19:57.340 or
00:19:57.580 perverse
00:19:58.060 communion
00:19:58.540 in
00:19:59.140 which
00:19:59.300 there
00:19:59.440 were
00:19:59.620 sexual
00:20:00.140 orgies
00:20:00.780 and
00:20:01.480 various
00:20:02.100 bodily
00:20:02.640 fluids
00:20:03.560 used
00:20:04.200 for
00:20:04.400 the
00:20:04.540 communion
00:20:04.840 rite
00:20:05.160 itself
00:20:05.680 now
00:20:06.340 many
00:20:07.080 Orthodox
00:20:07.580 Christians
00:20:08.000 would
00:20:08.260 probably
00:20:08.600 argue
00:20:09.060 that
00:20:09.560 those
00:20:09.880 accusations
00:20:10.480 were
00:20:11.200 in fact
00:20:11.680 valid
00:20:12.280 but
00:20:12.840 there
00:20:13.100 are
00:20:13.320 good
00:20:13.620 reasons
00:20:14.040 to
00:20:14.300 question
00:20:14.800 it
00:20:15.100 you
00:20:15.540 look
00:20:15.880 at
00:20:16.020 the
00:20:16.200 Gnostic
00:20:16.540 texts
00:20:17.040 that
00:20:17.240 have
00:20:17.340 been
00:20:17.480 uncovered
00:20:17.900 in
00:20:18.320 the
00:20:18.520 20th
00:20:18.980 century
00:20:19.340 and
00:20:19.800 you
00:20:19.920 compare
00:20:20.280 them
00:20:20.540 to
00:20:20.720 many
00:20:20.960 of
00:20:21.160 the
00:20:21.280 accusers
00:20:22.040 such
00:20:22.540 as
00:20:22.840 Epiphanius
00:20:23.640 and
00:20:24.260 what
00:20:24.600 you
00:20:24.760 find
00:20:25.200 is a
00:20:25.600 dramatic
00:20:26.000 dissonance
00:20:26.540 what seems
00:20:27.560 to be
00:20:27.840 happening
00:20:28.180 there
00:20:28.660 just as
00:20:29.580 with the
00:20:29.980 Christians
00:20:30.340 under
00:20:30.620 the
00:20:30.780 Romans
00:20:31.100 is that
00:20:32.060 Gnostic
00:20:32.420 Christians
00:20:32.820 and various
00:20:33.260 other
00:20:33.580 heretics
00:20:34.100 were
00:20:34.560 perhaps
00:20:34.980 being
00:20:35.360 accused
00:20:36.100 of
00:20:36.420 acts
00:20:36.880 that they
00:20:37.440 were
00:20:37.600 not
00:20:37.940 doing
00:20:38.740 in order
00:20:39.560 to
00:20:39.920 justify
00:20:40.460 the
00:20:40.840 power
00:20:41.240 of
00:20:41.960 the

00:20:45.500 this
00:20:46.760 cycle
00:20:48.700 of
00:20:49.320 power
00:20:49.960 and
00:20:50.240 persecution
00:20:50.860 is
00:20:51.900 going to
00:20:52.600 continue
00:20:52.940 on

00:21:00.800 of the

00:21:02.580 throughout
00:21:02.920 this
00:21:03.220 era

00:22:15.700 a

00:22:17.860 a

00:22:18.460 of the
00:22:18.860 four
00:22:19.060 gospels
00:22:19.680 that
00:22:20.240 converted
00:22:20.920 the

00:22:21.740 into

00:22:24.480 that
00:22:24.760 would

00:22:32.000 as
00:22:32.280 a

00:22:33.000 we
00:22:33.540 see
00:22:33.880 Jesus
00:22:34.780 being
00:22:35.740 followed
00:22:36.220 not

00:22:56.900 this

00:23:59.080 is

00:24:00.580 the
00:24:01.100 images
00:24:01.420 of

00:24:13.320 these
00:24:13.520 transformations
00:24:14.000 of
00:24:14.360 Jesus
00:24:14.660 leave
00:24:15.400 what is
00:24:15.760 important
00:24:16.240 intact
00:24:16.920 does
00:24:17.940 Jesus
00:24:18.400 survive
00:24:19.000 as a

00:24:38.700 from

00:24:39.180 we'll

00:25:06.980 time
00:25:07.120 The so-called financial experts
00:25:36.860 thought we were in the clear.
00:25:38.340 They were anticipating around six rate cuts
00:25:40.440 by the Fed this year,
00:25:41.640 and then the inflation data came out,
00:25:43.880 higher than expected.
00:25:45.260 Friends, this isn't going away.
00:25:48.000 It can't.
00:25:49.160 The U.S. is $34 trillion plus in the hole,
00:25:52.760 and yet we keep printing money,
00:25:54.620 which pushes the prices you pay every day even higher.
00:25:59.100 So you can either bury your head in the sand
00:26:01.560 or you can do something about it.
00:26:03.700 Diversify a portion of your savings into gold
00:26:06.480 with Birch Gold Group.
00:26:08.020 Gold is your hedge against inflation,

00:26:42.220 Action, action, action.
00:26:44.560 I want to warn you of a huge change
00:26:46.300 that could be coming to our money
00:26:48.320 and our bank accounts.
00:26:49.860 First, think back to 9-11,
00:26:51.360 shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:26:54.360 This gave the government power
00:26:55.480 to spy on innocent Americans
00:26:57.120 by monitoring our phone and email
00:26:59.600 and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:27:09.800 is warning about a coming event
00:27:11.480 that could elevate this governmental surveillance
00:27:13.920 to a terrifying new level.
00:27:15.940 In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room
00:27:18.480 believe that the government will soon expand their powers
00:27:21.340 to track our every move.
00:27:23.440 If we say the wrong things on social media,
00:27:26.300 donate to the wrong causes,
00:27:27.520 buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,
00:27:30.380 the government may be able to shut us out
00:27:32.560 of our bank accounts.
00:27:34.360 I can't say for sure if this will happen,
00:27:36.960 but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:27:39.880 Fortunately, Jim Rickards,
00:27:41.120 an American patriot and friend of mine,
00:27:42.880 has made it his mission to educate us
00:27:44.920 on what he believes is coming
00:27:46.620 and how to protect yourself
00:27:48.420 from the possibility of programmable money.
00:27:52.360 Watch Jim's warning video now
00:27:54.500 before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:28:04.020 The apples in your holiday pie taste amazing,
00:28:07.360 but it's not exactly the recommended five servings
00:28:09.820 of fruits and vegetables.
00:28:11.700 The Mayo Clinic says if you want to help prevent heart disease,
00:28:15.440 lower blood pressure, and your cholesterol,
00:28:18.120 eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day,

00:29:15.800 War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:18.420 Churches across the nation and indeed around the world
00:29:23.040 are now moving to virtual worship services.
00:29:26.880 Online services, either live streamed
00:29:29.660 or recorded ahead of time
00:29:31.260 or posted to YouTube or Facebook
00:29:33.540 or Zoom or GoToMeeting
00:29:35.820 or however churches are doing this,
00:29:37.760 we're all seeming to necessarily move online.
00:29:41.220 So the question is,
00:29:42.900 is a virtual Lord's Supper
00:29:44.820 going to be the next crest of the wave
00:29:47.560 as it comes to this technological worship
00:29:49.780 that we're doing today?
00:29:50.640 Hey, everybody.
00:29:51.460 In today's video,
00:29:52.640 we are going to talk about virtual reality
00:29:54.920 and the metaverse,
00:29:56.480 specifically Church in the Metaverse.
00:29:59.520 And I'm going to take you with me
00:30:01.580 visiting Church in the Metaverse
00:30:03.680 in virtual reality for the first time.
00:30:06.260 Let's get our Metaverse on.
00:30:10.980 I can't see a thing.
00:30:12.180 Pandemic has changed the way people attend church.
00:30:15.680 Online services have become popular,
00:30:17.920 but as NewsForce Taylor Mitchell found out,
00:30:20.180 some churches are moving past Zoom
00:30:22.260 and turning to virtual reality.
00:30:25.820 To hop into the metaverse,
00:30:27.600 all you need is a headset and two controllers.
00:30:30.580 Let's go inside.
00:30:32.220 Right now,
00:30:32.780 I'm standing in front of the Life.Church metaverse
00:30:34.980 where you can connect with friends
00:30:36.380 and meet people from around the world
00:30:38.380 and experience church in a whole new way.
00:30:40.880 Let's go in and check it out.
00:30:42.120 Welcome to Life.Church.
00:30:43.220 Come on in.
00:30:44.800 There's plenty right here.
00:30:46.140 I'll go ahead and drop a few on the grounds
00:30:48.080 for those who are shorter.
00:30:51.340 Thank you for your patience, everyone.
00:30:53.720 Go ahead and pick up your piece of bread
00:30:55.260 and I'll go ahead and verbally talk us through it,
00:30:59.600 remembering it all.
00:31:01.280 As we partake of the bread,
00:31:02.640 we are remembering Jesus' body
00:31:04.620 that was broken for you.
00:31:06.320 His body was broken and blood was shed
00:31:09.940 so that we would never have to be abandoned.
00:31:14.740 And welcome back.
00:31:17.120 The video we just saw is indicative
00:31:19.720 of the tremendous transformation
00:31:22.040 that we're undergoing right now in the modern world.
00:31:24.520 We see the rise of technological systems
00:31:27.540 in which technology itself is held up as a deity.
00:31:32.780 But also, simultaneously with this,
00:31:35.120 we see traditional religion being digitized,
00:31:38.540 being converted into a modern form.
00:31:42.320 The questions that are raised
00:31:43.940 by the transformation of the Passover meal
00:31:46.900 into the Eucharist
00:31:48.000 or the transformation of the Gospels
00:31:50.440 into Germanic poems
00:31:52.960 to be sung by warriors in mead halls
00:31:55.360 are critical to the direction
00:31:58.060 that modern society takes,
00:31:59.400 that spiritual life takes moving into the future.
00:32:02.740 The question is,
00:32:05.440 does Jesus survive
00:32:07.820 in the new images that we see?
00:32:11.280 Or is it occluded so dramatically
00:32:15.140 that any follower going down that path
00:32:18.940 is in fact becoming more distant
00:32:20.940 from the spiritual,
00:32:22.480 more distant from the original intent of the Gospel
00:32:25.440 than they would had
00:32:27.480 had they not encountered it at all?
00:32:30.080 I'd like to move to an image
00:32:32.840 if the team could throw it up.
00:32:35.540 This was painted by the psychedelic artist Alex Gray.
00:32:39.560 It's called the Cosmic Christ.
00:32:42.780 And you can see perhaps in some of the details,
00:32:46.420 satellites, computers,
00:32:48.840 various indications
00:32:50.360 that this is a Christ for the modern world.
00:32:54.840 The Orthodox would condemn it entirely.
00:32:59.200 Even Protestants would balk
00:33:01.180 at this sort of perversion
00:33:03.540 of the original images of Jesus.
00:33:06.500 But for modern people
00:33:08.220 in a culture of total acceptance and tolerance,
00:33:11.840 this is just one of many ways
00:33:14.620 that one might approach the divine.
00:33:18.240 The name Cosmic Christ
00:33:20.040 comes from the paleontologist
00:33:23.280 and Jesuit priest Teilhard de Chardin.
00:33:26.860 Teilhard de Chardin in his book
00:33:28.240 The Phenomenology of Man
00:33:29.560 talks about humanity
00:33:31.200 hurtling towards an omega point.
00:33:34.100 His theory was that life on Earth
00:33:37.140 is evolving towards the total unification
00:33:42.040 of humanity
00:33:43.940 and joining of the human spirit
00:33:47.380 with the cosmic spirit
00:33:49.480 that pervades the entire universe.
00:33:52.580 de Chardin believed that this was occurring
00:33:54.440 by way of technology.
00:33:56.600 He talked about a noosphere,
00:33:59.060 a sphere that hangs over top
00:34:02.000 of the biological sphere,
00:34:04.140 which is overlaid
00:34:05.920 by the sphere of human endeavor
00:34:08.480 and the human psyche.
00:34:10.140 And this noosphere
00:34:10.880 is a means by which
00:34:14.200 the entire planet
00:34:15.260 is being wired
00:34:16.420 to become one single unity.
00:34:20.340 He saw the ultimate unity
00:34:22.240 of humanity
00:34:23.100 converging on what he called
00:34:25.360 an omega point,
00:34:26.900 the end of history,
00:34:28.180 the point at which
00:34:29.160 human souls would be unified
00:34:31.840 with the cosmic Christ
00:34:33.800 to which we are all being drawn.
00:34:36.720 War Room listeners will,
00:34:38.040 of course,
00:34:38.520 see the similarities
00:34:39.500 between this
00:34:40.500 and the current technologist's
00:34:42.820 concept of the singularity.
00:34:45.520 The singularity, of course,
00:34:46.760 is that convergence
00:34:47.580 of all of these
00:34:49.300 different technological sectors
00:34:50.700 from artificial intelligence
00:34:52.520 to the brain-computer interface
00:34:54.460 to genetic engineering
00:34:56.360 converging onto a new humanity,
00:34:59.640 a humanity that is not really
00:35:01.980 distinguishable from the machine
00:35:03.660 and a world in which
00:35:05.340 the machine is not really
00:35:06.920 distinguishable from
00:35:08.060 the organisms,
00:35:10.120 the biology.
00:35:11.300 So what you see
00:35:13.360 in the singularity,
00:35:14.400 as we've talked about
00:35:15.040 many, many times,
00:35:16.100 is a kind of modernization
00:35:18.100 or in many ways
00:35:19.180 kind of a postmodern view
00:35:20.460 of the original Christian ideal
00:35:23.560 that human beings
00:35:24.680 would eventually
00:35:25.780 meet God,
00:35:27.080 meet Christ
00:35:27.880 in the world beyond.
00:35:30.060 The author,
00:35:31.180 Ray Kurzweil,
00:35:32.500 called his landmark book
00:35:34.400 in 2005,
00:35:35.840 The Singularity is Near.
00:35:37.840 The title is,
00:35:39.440 in fact,
00:35:39.640 a play on Jesus' promise
00:35:42.080 that the kingdom of heaven
00:35:43.980 is near.
00:35:45.220 But in this case,
00:35:46.300 it is not a supernatural
00:35:47.540 connection to Christ,
00:35:49.300 which will save humanity.
00:35:51.300 What will happen,
00:35:52.260 according to Kurzweil
00:35:53.480 and his predecessors
00:35:54.360 and his successors,
00:35:55.600 is that human beings
00:35:57.260 will be saved
00:35:58.320 from our own evolved nature
00:36:00.300 by artificial intelligence
00:36:02.040 and engineering our genome
00:36:04.520 into some sort of
00:36:06.340 transmuted or perfected form.
00:36:11.960 Alongside of this
00:36:13.100 technological revolution,
00:36:15.280 you see transformations
00:36:16.560 of the images of Jesus
00:36:17.960 flooding the public sphere.
00:36:19.940 So you see here
00:36:20.780 an artificial intelligence
00:36:22.120 generated image
00:36:23.380 in which the prompt engineer
00:36:25.140 simply asked,
00:36:26.480 give me an image
00:36:27.980 of Jesus
00:36:28.840 taking a selfie
00:36:30.420 with his disciples.
00:36:31.600 One could imagine
00:36:32.220 perhaps this is
00:36:32.900 at the Last Supper.
00:36:34.360 And it raises
00:36:35.080 that question again,
00:36:36.500 is Jesus in this image?
00:36:38.900 Do we see
00:36:39.560 the Jesus of the gospel?
00:36:41.280 Do we see the Jesus
00:36:42.360 who sat with his disciples
00:36:43.840 around a table
00:36:45.080 offering bread and wine
00:36:47.260 as remembrance
00:36:48.260 for his body and blood?
00:36:49.420 Or do we see
00:36:50.140 a self-absorbed narcissist
00:36:51.520 staring into a camera
00:36:53.400 with all his pals around?
00:36:55.640 I would argue
00:36:56.320 that it is the latter.
00:36:58.280 And as people are playing
00:36:59.760 with these images of Jesus,
00:37:02.060 the true messages
00:37:04.120 of the gospel,
00:37:05.160 the messages of kindness,
00:37:07.180 the messages of charity,
00:37:08.980 the messages of self-sacrifice
00:37:10.640 are eroded
00:37:11.780 and replaced
00:37:12.960 by a more modern,
00:37:15.360 materialistic form.
00:37:16.840 this comes from
00:37:19.300 last year,
00:37:20.580 Fox News did a report
00:37:21.940 on a new AI app
00:37:24.440 that allows users
00:37:26.060 to talk to Jesus directly.
00:37:28.140 It's a large language model
00:37:29.480 that was trained
00:37:30.440 on Jesus' words
00:37:31.720 from the gospel.
00:37:32.920 And you can ask Jesus anything
00:37:34.580 and he responds
00:37:35.460 in text form
00:37:36.480 as if you were actually
00:37:38.140 talking to Jesus himself.
00:37:39.800 There are a lot of departures
00:37:41.520 as we saw
00:37:42.580 with many of the other images
00:37:44.160 of Jesus previous,
00:37:45.240 a lot of departures
00:37:46.880 from the original messages
00:37:48.140 of Jesus
00:37:48.880 so that if you,
00:37:50.900 for instance,
00:37:51.400 ask Jesus
00:37:52.080 what his opinion
00:37:52.880 on homosexual marriage is,
00:37:55.480 this app,
00:37:56.680 Texting with Jesus,
00:37:57.700 will respond
00:37:58.480 that the gospel
00:38:00.920 encourages charity
00:38:02.580 and so, you know,
00:38:04.560 all people are to be
00:38:06.260 welcomed and included.
00:38:09.540 You see here also
00:38:10.920 a much more intense form
00:38:12.460 of all of this.
00:38:13.360 This is from a text thread
00:38:16.420 by an ex-user
00:38:18.280 called Sun.
00:38:19.800 It made a lot of rounds.
00:38:21.580 It caused a lot of outrage.
00:38:23.580 And you can see
00:38:24.260 these images of Jesus
00:38:25.400 are AI-generated.
00:38:26.900 The one on the left
00:38:27.700 is particularly obvious.
00:38:29.740 You can see
00:38:30.320 the multiple fingers.
00:38:31.700 He has like six,
00:38:32.880 seven fingers.
00:38:34.680 Very common
00:38:35.360 of AI-generated images.
00:38:37.960 But what's most important
00:38:40.060 about this
00:38:40.620 isn't necessarily
00:38:41.520 the kind of translation
00:38:43.200 of the images of Jesus
00:38:44.600 by way of AI,
00:38:46.180 but what this gentleman
00:38:47.840 or perhaps woman says.
00:38:50.540 So I quote,
00:38:51.480 my brothers and sisters
00:38:52.940 in Christ,
00:38:54.420 who wants to join me
00:38:55.840 in forking the Judeo-Christian base
00:38:58.020 to form a new secular religion
00:39:00.220 that reinterprets
00:39:01.600 the second coming of Christ
00:39:02.900 as the advent
00:39:03.960 of artificial superintelligence,
00:39:06.680 the singularity.
00:39:08.460 You see there,
00:39:09.440 he says,
00:39:09.860 Christ plus AI
00:39:11.360 equals Christ,
00:39:13.600 I suppose.
00:39:14.680 And he goes on,
00:39:15.540 a secular religion
00:39:17.020 that would merge transhumanism
00:39:19.080 with the Abrahamic memetic framework.
00:39:22.060 It would be more palatable
00:39:23.420 to the Western religious base,
00:39:25.560 raise tax-free funds
00:39:26.880 for study,
00:39:27.720 media preparation
00:39:28.600 for ASI
00:39:29.560 or artificial superintelligence,
00:39:31.620 and create a strong
00:39:33.040 futurist community
00:39:34.200 that's sorely lacking
00:39:36.100 in our divided time.
00:39:38.260 It might also be
00:39:39.800 a good hedge
00:39:40.780 in the Paschal wager
00:39:42.960 in case AI
00:39:44.960 becomes independent
00:39:46.740 as it might preserve
00:39:47.900 or be friendly
00:39:48.740 to those most caring
00:39:49.960 of the new creation,
00:39:51.360 our descendant
00:39:52.380 of our kin,
00:39:55.020 but not our kind.
00:39:56.940 This is one of many,
00:39:58.600 many examples
00:39:59.580 of kind of fringe thinkers
00:40:01.640 forming these subcultures
00:40:04.040 or subcults
00:40:05.160 around AI itself
00:40:07.320 as a coming deity.
00:40:09.380 And so when he talks
00:40:10.540 about the Pascal's wager
00:40:12.360 that is being made here,
00:40:15.160 it's a reference
00:40:16.280 to the original concept
00:40:19.500 that if God exists
00:40:22.860 and you are saved,
00:40:25.280 the original Pascal's wager
00:40:27.180 was an argument
00:40:27.820 that it is safer
00:40:28.980 to bet on salvation
00:40:31.860 than atheism.
00:40:33.900 If God exists
00:40:35.600 and you are saved,
00:40:36.620 then you go to heaven.
00:40:37.600 If God exists
00:40:38.640 and you are not saved,
00:40:39.700 you go to hell.
00:40:40.360 Whereas if God doesn't exist,
00:40:43.580 it doesn't hurt
00:40:44.460 to be saved.
00:40:45.520 The original Pascal's wager
00:40:47.060 was an argument
00:40:47.800 to be saved,
00:40:49.740 not necessarily
00:40:50.560 because God exists,
00:40:51.880 but because if God does exist,
00:40:54.920 the gravity
00:40:55.680 of that decision
00:40:56.640 is ultimate.
00:40:58.300 If God doesn't exist
00:40:59.380 and you get saved,
00:41:00.460 it doesn't matter.
00:41:01.300 You don't get saved,
00:41:02.140 it doesn't matter.
00:41:02.900 If God does exist,
00:41:05.600 then to be saved
00:41:07.020 is the critical decision
00:41:09.100 to not be saved
00:41:10.280 means eternity in hell.
00:41:12.400 The images you see
00:41:13.840 before you
00:41:14.440 in the religious tradition,
00:41:16.180 if you want to call it that,
00:41:17.660 that are emerging,
00:41:19.100 oftentimes speak
00:41:20.480 of Rocco's basilisk
00:41:22.080 and it's basically
00:41:23.080 a technological transformation
00:41:24.720 of the concept
00:41:25.780 of Pascal's wager.
00:41:27.960 If AI never comes
00:41:30.420 to being in a godlike form,
00:41:32.580 then it won't matter
00:41:33.540 if you pledge your fealty
00:41:35.600 or pledge your loyalty
00:41:36.780 or encouraged its development.
00:41:39.120 You simply go along
00:41:41.000 as if it had never happened.
00:41:43.480 However,
00:41:43.980 if AI becomes super intelligent,
00:41:47.620 then you would basically
00:41:50.440 be beholden to this deity
00:41:53.160 in the same sense
00:41:54.340 as Christians conceive
00:41:55.980 of the Judeo-Christian God.
00:41:58.700 And if artificial intelligence
00:42:00.780 sees you as a threat
00:42:02.340 or if artificial intelligence
00:42:03.980 rakes over your social media posts,
00:42:05.600 such as mine,
00:42:06.800 and sees that you did not
00:42:08.120 want it to be developed,
00:42:09.500 then it could resurrect
00:42:10.540 your data
00:42:12.000 and torture you
00:42:13.440 for all eternity.
00:42:14.480 Whereas if you support it,
00:42:16.000 you have the hope
00:42:16.860 that you can live
00:42:17.560 in some sort of
00:42:18.140 digital heaven forever.
00:42:20.580 And so therefore,
00:42:22.000 the Rocco's basilisk
00:42:23.560 or this technological
00:42:24.720 Pascal wager
00:42:25.600 holds in a sort of
00:42:27.420 theological sense
00:42:28.580 that your best bet
00:42:30.480 as a human being
00:42:31.560 is to pledge fealty
00:42:33.160 to the digital God
00:42:34.540 while you still can.
00:42:35.960 This transformation
00:42:37.680 is not isolated
00:42:39.920 to these cults.
00:42:41.420 These are extreme forms
00:42:42.900 of what are ultimately
00:42:44.400 becoming kind of
00:42:45.660 mundane observations
00:42:47.020 about the nature of progress.
00:42:49.140 So that instead of
00:42:51.460 Jesus' miracles of,
00:42:53.840 you know,
00:42:54.780 giving,
00:42:55.560 feeding the 4,000
00:42:56.660 with bread
00:42:57.600 or Jesus' miracle
00:42:59.080 of providing,
00:43:00.780 of transforming
00:43:01.560 the water into wine
00:43:03.140 at the wedding of Cana,
00:43:04.680 you have the promise
00:43:05.980 that technology
00:43:06.860 will be able to produce
00:43:07.760 radical abundance
00:43:08.760 to produce bread
00:43:10.300 and wine forever
00:43:11.440 for beings
00:43:12.600 who are basically
00:43:14.100 digital immortals.
00:43:16.060 This idea
00:43:16.960 might seem ridiculous,
00:43:18.200 but we hear folks
00:43:19.340 like Elon Musk
00:43:20.320 talking about
00:43:21.140 radical abundance.
00:43:22.460 We hear Google R&D
00:43:24.080 director Ray Kurzweil
00:43:25.240 talking about
00:43:25.940 digital immortality.
00:43:27.600 And this transformation
00:43:29.120 is one of
00:43:31.000 the spiritual
00:43:32.200 into the material
00:43:34.280 rather than
00:43:35.820 the other way around.
00:43:38.060 And it raises
00:43:39.220 again the question,
00:43:41.220 does Jesus survive
00:43:42.960 in these images
00:43:43.840 or is Jesus' image
00:43:45.660 so transformed
00:43:47.220 as to become
00:43:48.180 something else,
00:43:49.440 perhaps something satanic?
00:43:51.620 I would argue
00:43:52.600 at the very least
00:43:53.780 that what we are seeing
00:43:55.080 is a complete
00:43:56.680 overhaul
00:43:57.600 of what tradition
00:43:59.660 holds,
00:44:00.480 that human beings
00:44:01.600 were created
00:44:02.660 in the divine image,
00:44:03.940 that our ultimate
00:44:05.320 goals are to
00:44:07.000 be kind
00:44:08.400 to one another,
00:44:09.940 to take care
00:44:10.680 of one another,
00:44:11.400 to defend
00:44:12.140 our traditions,
00:44:13.460 and ultimately
00:44:14.620 to transcend
00:44:15.900 the body
00:44:16.700 into a spiritual
00:44:17.840 state.
00:44:19.160 The technological
00:44:20.260 tradition,
00:44:22.000 if you want to call it
00:44:22.800 a tradition,
00:44:23.780 information,
00:44:24.480 the technological
00:44:25.520 religion that we see
00:44:26.860 forming around us
00:44:27.820 holds that all
00:44:29.660 of these goals
00:44:30.600 can be achieved
00:44:32.140 by way of
00:44:33.200 human endeavor,
00:44:34.520 by way of
00:44:35.460 technologists,
00:44:36.740 by way of
00:44:37.580 human invention.
00:44:39.200 It is a total
00:44:40.280 inversion.
00:44:41.720 And so the images
00:44:42.640 of Jesus,
00:44:43.280 while they do
00:44:43.860 in some sense
00:44:44.840 reflect the ancient,
00:44:46.580 becomes something
00:44:47.580 completely new,
00:44:49.060 and in my view,
00:44:49.900 something darker
00:44:51.300 than the blackest
00:44:52.900 night.
00:44:54.020 If I may,
00:44:54.920 I'd like to return
00:44:55.640 to one important
00:44:57.600 theme from
00:44:58.900 the Last Supper.
00:45:01.620 We see in the Last
00:45:03.080 Supper in the Gospel
00:45:03.940 Jesus washing
00:45:05.320 the disciples' feet
00:45:06.920 and instructing
00:45:07.900 them to wash
00:45:08.520 each other's feet.
00:45:10.200 And this act
00:45:12.560 of humility
00:45:13.200 is on the one
00:45:14.880 hand very human,
00:45:16.540 on the other
00:45:17.200 hand it transcends
00:45:19.160 the selfish
00:45:20.240 nature of
00:45:21.220 humanity
00:45:21.780 and shows us
00:45:23.860 in a symbolic
00:45:24.940 and actual
00:45:25.800 visceral form
00:45:26.980 the command
00:45:29.920 to sacrifice
00:45:32.640 oneself
00:45:33.280 for other
00:45:35.620 people.
00:45:37.200 I would like
00:45:38.180 to conclude
00:45:38.820 with a story
00:45:39.860 about a foot-washing
00:45:41.380 ritual that I
00:45:42.320 myself attended.
00:45:44.080 When I was at
00:45:44.820 Boston University,
00:45:46.200 I studied religion
00:45:47.800 through the lens
00:45:48.640 of science,
00:45:49.840 but my master's
00:45:50.960 thesis,
00:45:51.760 while invoking
00:45:52.400 a lot of
00:45:53.020 scientific concepts,
00:45:54.680 focused on the
00:45:55.520 religious tradition
00:45:56.460 that was began
00:45:58.280 by a man
00:45:58.980 named Jean
00:45:59.700 Vanier.
00:46:01.340 And Jean Vanier
00:46:02.200 began an organization
00:46:03.220 called L'Arche,
00:46:04.200 French for
00:46:05.040 the Ark.
00:46:06.140 The purpose
00:46:07.040 of L'Arche
00:46:08.180 is to allow
00:46:09.380 people with
00:46:10.080 intellectual disabilities,
00:46:11.540 people with
00:46:12.000 Down syndrome,
00:46:13.200 people with
00:46:13.600 severe autism,
00:46:14.520 people whose
00:46:16.000 genetic or
00:46:17.240 in vitro
00:46:18.540 damage had
00:46:20.240 left them
00:46:20.860 unable to
00:46:22.060 fend for
00:46:22.440 themselves.
00:46:23.080 And so this
00:46:23.540 Ark,
00:46:24.560 L'Arche,
00:46:25.360 is a vessel
00:46:27.260 by which
00:46:28.600 helpless
00:46:29.840 beings could
00:46:30.840 be conveyed
00:46:31.820 across this
00:46:32.980 world.
00:46:33.900 I attended
00:46:34.800 just before
00:46:36.160 Easter a
00:46:37.260 foot-washing
00:46:37.840 ceremony in a
00:46:38.740 Catholic church
00:46:39.440 north of
00:46:39.960 Boston,
00:46:40.400 and you
00:46:41.700 had dozens
00:46:43.100 of people
00:46:43.780 gathered there,
00:46:44.840 most of whom
00:46:45.640 suffered severe
00:46:46.920 disabilities,
00:46:48.240 be it mental
00:46:48.940 or a few
00:46:49.780 physical
00:46:50.340 deformities.
00:46:52.020 And as
00:46:53.320 the bowl
00:46:54.660 was passed
00:46:55.580 around,
00:46:56.020 I realized
00:46:56.780 that the
00:46:57.440 woman next
00:46:57.980 to me
00:46:58.360 was completely
00:47:00.240 deformed
00:47:02.200 by a
00:47:02.820 congenital
00:47:03.340 birth defect.
00:47:04.900 She had
00:47:05.920 feet that
00:47:06.960 looked like
00:47:07.660 clubs and
00:47:08.720 small
00:47:09.460 digits
00:47:10.720 protruding.
00:47:11.720 And my
00:47:12.440 natural
00:47:12.840 response,
00:47:13.760 which I
00:47:14.640 should be
00:47:15.520 hopefully
00:47:15.880 forgiven for,
00:47:17.120 was one
00:47:17.720 of revulsion,
00:47:18.920 one of
00:47:19.160 disgust.
00:47:20.360 But as
00:47:20.820 the bowl
00:47:21.380 came around
00:47:22.100 to me,
00:47:22.620 and it
00:47:22.760 came my
00:47:23.360 turn to
00:47:24.400 wash her
00:47:25.200 feet,
00:47:26.200 something
00:47:27.040 strange
00:47:27.620 happened.
00:47:28.040 All revulsion
00:47:28.880 left me,
00:47:29.540 and I looked
00:47:29.880 into her
00:47:30.320 eyes,
00:47:31.100 and I saw
00:47:31.640 their kindness,
00:47:33.140 I saw their
00:47:33.800 real understanding
00:47:35.380 and a fierce
00:47:35.940 intelligence.
00:47:36.700 It was simply
00:47:37.060 her body,
00:47:37.580 not her mind,
00:47:38.560 that had been
00:47:39.020 compromised.
00:47:39.460 And there
00:47:40.940 was something
00:47:41.380 in the beauty
00:47:42.020 of that
00:47:42.480 moment that
00:47:43.660 has never
00:47:44.760 left me,
00:47:46.020 this feeling
00:47:47.580 that our
00:47:48.880 flawed human
00:47:50.360 lives,
00:47:51.920 I was left
00:47:52.500 with the
00:47:52.840 sense that
00:47:53.500 we are,
00:47:54.420 as human
00:47:54.760 beings,
00:47:55.260 completely
00:47:55.680 vulnerable.
00:47:56.760 And I
00:47:57.140 saw in
00:47:58.100 this woman
00:47:58.660 very much
00:47:59.440 a reflection
00:47:59.920 of myself
00:48:00.640 as a
00:48:01.700 flawed human
00:48:02.840 being in
00:48:03.980 need of
00:48:04.580 salvation.
00:48:05.800 In the
00:48:06.120 technological era,
00:48:07.060 in the
00:48:07.280 technocratic era,
00:48:08.140 in an era
00:48:08.800 of efficiency,
00:48:10.580 salvation is
00:48:11.360 a matter
00:48:11.800 of erasing
00:48:12.860 people like
00:48:13.980 her and
00:48:14.820 creating a
00:48:15.680 perfected
00:48:16.240 humanity.
00:48:17.600 In the
00:48:18.180 traditions of
00:48:19.160 Christianity
00:48:19.660 and other
00:48:20.340 traditions around
00:48:21.020 the world,
00:48:21.560 there is a
00:48:22.460 call to see
00:48:23.600 flawed human
00:48:24.780 beings as
00:48:25.540 souls shrouded
00:48:27.100 in bodies.
00:48:28.540 And so,
00:48:29.440 the foot-washing
00:48:30.780 ritual given
00:48:31.860 by Jesus
00:48:32.700 lingers on
00:48:33.960 as a reminder
00:48:34.680 that we
00:48:36.220 owe each
00:48:37.320 other our
00:48:39.000 energy,
00:48:40.020 our kindness,
00:48:41.180 our efforts,
00:48:42.120 and we are
00:48:43.280 here to
00:48:43.760 protect one
00:48:44.420 another under
00:48:45.240 the divine.
00:48:47.120 I know I
00:48:47.680 promised that I
00:48:48.320 would not
00:48:48.840 preach, but
00:48:49.880 maybe that was
00:48:50.540 a slight
00:48:50.920 departure.
00:48:51.960 Maybe I
00:48:52.460 fibbed a
00:48:52.880 little bit,
00:48:53.420 but, you
00:48:53.740 know,
