Leo D.M.J. Aurini - An Integral Approach to the Book of Job

00:00:00.000 So, an integral analysis of the Book of Job.

00:00:09.360 My purpose in making this video is to help build a map of the different stages of moral

00:00:20.400 development, of where we were at different periods in history, of how we ought to interpret

00:00:30.560 historical and religious documents to properly understand them, to integrate them.

00:00:40.640 And the Book of Job is a very interesting artifact that stands out, especially to us moderns,

00:00:49.840 that it's such perfect material to illustrate Ken Wilbur's theory.

00:01:00.960 And so my goal in making this video is to help you improve your own map.

00:01:08.560 Now that said, the map is never the territory.

00:01:11.680 And in researching for this video, I came across a 700-page book that I'm never going to have time to read,

00:01:23.200 even though it looks absolutely fascinating, and I'm going to link it down below if you're interested,

00:01:29.600 contrasting the Book of Job to 3,000-year-old Babylonian texts about the suffering of the

00:01:38.320 righteous man who, rather than engaging with Yahweh, was engaging with Marduk. 0.72

00:01:44.000 It was, there's other Egyptian texts that it also compares and contrasts to quite vividly.

00:01:51.920 There is so much literature, there is so much history, that I'm only barely scratching the surface here.

00:02:01.600 So, take everything I say with a grain of salt, and please understand, I'm building a very

00:02:11.200 high-level, bird's-eye-view map of what's going on.

00:02:15.920 And I'll bet you if we could get a hold of that guy that wrote the 700-page book,

00:02:21.680 he'd feel like he didn't know what he was talking about either, and was also only just scratching the surface.

00:02:26.960 So, the deeper you go, the more there is, folks.

00:02:30.080 But that said, even though none of us are qualified to talk about anything when you get right down to it,

00:02:41.840 let's talk about something. Let's talk about the Book of Job.

00:02:46.640 Now, I know you've all heard of this, but how many people have actually read it?

00:02:54.080 And of the very, very small fraction of people that have actually read the Bible,

00:03:01.040 how many of them even understood what they were reading?

00:03:09.840 The Book of Job concerns the question of theodicity.

00:03:15.600 Theodicity is the question of, if God, why bad stuff happen?

00:03:21.360 It's quite ironic

00:03:32.160 that so many atheists point to the Book of Job 1.00

00:03:36.960 as proof that God is a bastard, 0.98

00:03:40.160 when that's literally the whole point of the Book of Job. 0.99

00:03:43.680 I mean, have you looked outside lately?

00:03:46.800 Life ain't easy.

00:03:51.360 And the parts they find so objectionable

00:03:58.880 are actually the smallest part of the work.

00:04:02.640 If your typical atheist redditor actually read the Book of Job, 0.92

00:04:06.960 they would agree with 99% of it.

00:04:09.440 So what's in the Book of Job?

00:04:13.360 Let's break it down.

00:04:20.400 There's two chapters of setup.

00:04:23.440 The setup is Job is a righteous man.

00:04:27.120 He runs a righteous business.

00:04:31.040 He treats his servants well.

00:04:33.040 He makes sure that his kids are in check.

00:04:35.680 He does all the right things that a guy is supposed to do.

00:04:41.120 And then one day, God is holding court with his children, his angels,

00:04:45.360 and Satan is there, who has been back from going to and fro on the earth,

00:04:51.920 walking up and down on it.

00:04:53.360 God, that's a fantastic line.

00:04:55.440 And God says to Satan,

00:05:03.120 have you considered my servant Job?

00:05:06.560 And Satan says to God,

00:05:07.760 I'll bet if I took away all of his wealth and his family,

00:05:12.080 he would curse your name.

00:05:14.080 And God says, go ahead.

00:05:15.120 So Satan does it.

00:05:18.080 And Job still doesn't curse God.

00:05:20.480 So then Satan comes back and says,

00:05:21.840 I'll bet if I took away his health, then he'd curse you.

00:05:28.240 And this launches into the book proper.

00:05:32.880 So we have two chapters of the divine setup.

00:05:36.640 This is followed by 23 chapters where three of Job's friends show up.

00:05:45.120 And Job never curses God, but he does curse his own life.

00:05:49.600 I curse the day I was born.

00:05:52.080 I suffer for no reason.

00:05:53.280 No, I did not sin.

00:05:55.280 There is not a lesson God is teaching me here.

00:05:58.000 There is no lesson to be learned.

00:05:59.840 I am suffering for no reason whatsoever.

00:06:04.800 Then there are six chapters of parable

00:06:08.400 where Job laments that wisdom is something that no man can discover.

00:06:14.080 Then there's six chapters of a young man shows up.

00:06:22.000 And far more aggressively than Job's friends.

00:06:24.880 Job's friends were saying to him, come on, Job.

00:06:27.440 You must have done something wrong for all this tragedy to visit your life. 0.95

00:06:31.680 This young man that shows up is full of piss and vinegar. 0.96

00:06:37.520 How dare you deny God by saying that you don't deserve this. 0.88

00:06:42.480 You absolutely did something to deserve it.

00:06:44.720 So it's the same argument, but more intensely.

00:06:46.640 And then God shows up in a whirlwind.

00:06:53.200 And says, Job, were you there when I built the foundations of the earth?

00:06:58.240 Can you go and hook Leviathan on your fishing lure and drag him to the surface?

00:07:05.120 Who are you to question me, Job?

00:07:10.080 Who do you think you are, little man?

00:07:17.440 Followed by a one chapter denouement

00:07:22.080 where Job's friends help him restore his riches.

00:07:26.080 What a weird book, man.

00:07:41.040 Like, yeah, it has a happy ending.

00:07:45.280 But if your goal, if religion is nothing but the opiate of the masses,

00:07:50.480 if your goal is nothing but to tell people to sit down, shut up, and vote liberal,

00:08:00.000 then this doesn't seem like the best way to go about it. 0.95

00:08:08.880 The people that point out that God's kind of a dick in this book, 0.92

00:08:13.200 yes, congratulations on your media literacy. 0.96

00:08:18.480 You're really making the most use of that college education I can see. 0.99

00:08:24.640 You figured out that reality kind of sucks.

00:08:32.640 The two chapters in the beginning where God sets up a bet with Satan, 0.94

00:08:40.800 that is just the setup.

00:08:42.000 And the one chapter at the end where Job's fortunes are restored,

00:08:52.640 that comes about with God chastising his friends, saying, help this man.

00:08:59.840 The fact of the matter is that it rains on the just and the unjust alike.

00:09:13.680 That is a quote from the book of Matthew.

00:09:18.240 However, it echoes the book of Job.

00:09:22.000 This is the whole topic of the book of Job, that life isn't fair.

00:09:30.960 And why should it be fair?

00:09:36.560 Well, what is religion in the first place?

00:09:38.320 In the past, I've discussed how the laws of morality are very, very akin to the laws of strategy.

00:09:52.880 And I like using the laws of strategy because it's easier to abstract that.

00:10:02.000 Right? Our ego isn't invested in strategy.

00:10:06.000 When you read the works of Sun Tzu, when you read any of the books on strategy,

00:10:13.520 when do you attack, when do you defend, when do you retreat, when do you hold fast?

00:10:30.240 So much has been written on these topics.

00:10:35.120 And there are these higher laws to it.

00:10:37.040 There is this, when you have the momentum, you must keep pushing forward.

00:10:43.520 The best defense is a good offense.

00:10:50.320 Like these are universal rules.

00:10:54.880 There is this thing, there is this pattern that we can comprehend, that we can attain.

00:11:02.880 And the laws of morality are the exact same thing, except they don't just apply to warfare.

00:11:18.080 The cheater never prospers.

00:11:31.120 There's all these little holistic little remedies like that.

00:11:36.880 You are your reputation.

00:11:39.760 Yes, you can benefit quickly in the short term by lying, cheating, and stealing.

00:11:45.520 Hey, hard work and talent not paying off? 0.75

00:11:47.680 Try lying, cheating, and stealing!

00:11:54.240 But you'll destroy your reputation in the process.

00:11:56.400 You'll never feel like you earned anything.

00:12:04.080 Integrity and character matter.

00:12:07.920 The same way that depth matters in a military formation.

00:12:14.560 That supply lines are more important than shock troops.

00:12:18.480 All of this stuff is true.

00:12:22.400 All of this stuff is true.

00:12:26.000 And our early attempts to understand how to win were our attempts to understand God.

00:12:37.920 And eventually our attempts to understand God became our attempts to understand what is good.

00:12:49.840 And so the point that Job is making.

00:12:54.960 Replace God with the good.

00:12:58.960 When Job says, I don't curse God, but I curse the day I was born.

00:13:07.040 Job is saying, I don't envy those that lie, cheat, and steal.

00:13:17.360 I don't want to be a liar.

00:13:19.120 I don't want to be a cheater.

00:13:20.640 I don't want to be a thief.

00:13:24.080 That holds no glory for me.

00:13:27.840 I have no desire for that.

00:13:29.280 And so I don't curse the good.

00:13:38.800 I do not call good evil an evil good.

00:13:43.680 However, we live in a world where far, far too often the thieves make off like bandits.

00:13:52.640 And they get away with it every single time.

00:13:55.040 And they oppress the poor.

00:13:57.280 They steal from those that have the least.

00:14:04.240 And I'm not cursing God.

00:14:05.920 I'm not saying that they're right to do what they do and I wish I'd done what they'd done.

00:14:13.200 I'm not hating the player.

00:14:15.200 I'm hating the game. 1.00

00:14:19.840 Why the hell do we live in a reality where bastards like that win? 1.00

00:14:25.680 I refuse to play that game. 1.00

00:14:27.520 That game is evil.

00:14:30.240 And yet I'm calling out God because God, you let these people win.

00:14:36.960 What the hell is the good if the good doesn't win?

00:14:40.080 And that whole dialogue with his friends.

00:14:48.400 Is them trying to point out, Job, there must have been something you overlooked.

00:14:54.160 Clearly, if you followed all the rules, things would have turned out right.

00:14:58.080 You just missed one of the rules.

00:15:02.800 And Job says, absolutely not.

00:15:05.360 Point out a single thing I did wrong.

00:15:08.880 If you can point out a thing I did wrong, I'll acknowledge it.

00:15:12.720 But I didn't do anything wrong.

00:15:17.200 What happened to me was unjust.

00:15:19.160 And then the point's really hammered home when you've got a young man.

00:15:25.720 A young man in his messianic phase.

00:15:28.760 Right?

00:15:29.200 When you're 15, you're 20, you think you've got life really figured out?

00:15:35.880 That good guys always win and only bad guys lose?

00:15:40.040 You get that kid showing up and really going to task on Job.

00:15:46.760 Starts off with the criticism from the wise old man.

00:15:49.720 It ends with the criticism from the young man.

00:15:52.680 And then God shows up.

00:16:00.760 God shows up in a whirlwind.

00:16:03.360 And speaks to everybody there.

00:16:05.320 He says, I'm God, baby.

00:16:15.860 You can't judge me. 0.99

00:16:18.080 Who the hell are you? 0.90

00:16:20.740 To take issue with the reality I built. 0.98

00:16:26.140 But also, here's all your wealth back.

00:16:28.660 As long as your friends help you.

00:16:29.840 Okay. 0.90

00:16:29.900 What a weird freaking story. 0.70

00:16:40.200 So, let's talk about the context. 0.91

00:16:45.740 The historical context of the book of Job.

00:16:52.680 You know, I think the...

00:16:54.420 I think the way that people treat the Bible

00:17:00.560 like Holy Scripture

00:17:03.880 actually sometimes does the Bible a huge disservice.

00:17:11.600 So, Job...

00:17:13.140 The earliest mention of Job, to the best of my knowledge,

00:17:17.720 is from the book of Ezekiel,

00:17:19.640 which was written, probably,

00:17:21.820 by a real historical personage

00:17:24.460 around 600 BC or so.

00:17:28.560 Ezekiel, at one point in chastising

00:17:30.860 the leaders of Israel,

00:17:36.460 says, like, listen, there's like three guys 1.00

00:17:39.220 God's not pissed off at for being idiots. 1.00

00:17:42.780 And it's Noah, Daniel, and Job. 1.00

00:17:45.640 It sure as hell not you guys.

00:17:47.580 The book of Job is written

00:17:52.980 at some point between 500 BC to 300 BC.

00:17:59.780 Somewhere in there.

00:18:02.760 The book of Job is a work of fiction.

00:18:06.040 It is a rather recent work of fiction.

00:18:10.260 It's a great work of fiction.

00:18:12.100 And it's probably about a real historical personage.

00:18:18.060 There probably was originally a Job

00:18:20.920 from maybe 3,000, 4,000 years ago.

00:18:27.380 But the book was written in the first millennium BC.

00:18:30.240 And as I mentioned earlier,

00:18:36.860 it's part of a wider school of wisdom literature,

00:18:39.020 which is recognized in the Bible.

00:18:40.940 Some of it which is very optimistic,

00:18:43.340 that if you follow the laws of God,

00:18:45.820 life will turn out wonderfully.

00:18:48.040 And others which are very pessimistic,

00:18:50.600 that man is not capable of following the laws of God,

00:18:53.680 and all is random.

00:18:55.000 So, the book of Job is contemporaneous

00:19:02.500 with the Greek tragedies

00:19:05.960 and Greek philosophy,

00:19:08.960 which slightly came after the tragedies.

00:19:14.560 So, let's talk about those for a moment,

00:19:16.600 because this is a pastiche culture

00:19:19.140 from Western Europe to India.

00:19:23.620 You've got a pastiche of culture going on.

00:19:33.000 So, the Greek tragedies,

00:19:36.120 every single one of them,

00:19:40.860 or at least the best ones,

00:19:44.120 were about virtues leading to destruction.

00:19:49.760 about how

00:19:52.880 the gods

00:19:55.100 could be

00:19:56.260 so

00:19:57.000 arbitrary.

00:20:03.760 About how people

00:20:04.920 you know,

00:20:09.880 Medea,

00:20:10.540 Medea's the only one that comes to mind right now.

00:20:13.940 And I have no idea who wrote it.

00:20:16.140 I don't know if it was Euripides or not,

00:20:17.940 but

00:20:18.280 Medea

00:20:23.240 Medea marries

00:20:27.500 her alpha male husband,

00:20:30.140 who heads off to fight the Trojan War,

00:20:33.100 if I recall correctly.

00:20:35.220 And while at the Trojan War,

00:20:37.540 what does he do?

00:20:38.740 Well, he does what your typical alpha male does,

00:20:41.220 which is find a younger wife. 1.00

00:20:48.820 And Medea is so stricken by grief and insult 1.00

00:20:52.980 that she kills her own children, 0.57

00:20:57.880 disgracing her husband 1.00

00:20:59.540 and his new wife,

00:21:01.080 and then the gods send a chariot

00:21:03.620 for her to

00:21:04.940 deus ex

00:21:05.720 makina

00:21:06.640 up into the sky.

00:21:13.080 Yep, nobody takes issue

00:21:14.800 with the deus ex makina

00:21:16.100 in the Greek tragedies,

00:21:17.740 but for some reason,

00:21:19.080 Yahweh showing up in the Bible 1.00

00:21:20.900 really gets people's hairs

00:21:22.900 in a twist.

00:21:23.640 Plato's Republic

00:21:33.980 came after the height of Greek tragedy

00:21:38.440 and was also

00:21:42.520 a discursive

00:21:44.020 meditation,

00:21:45.120 a fake conversation.

00:21:47.640 Like, there probably was the time

00:21:49.520 that

00:21:50.580 Socrates

00:21:51.360 got drunk with some other old deus

00:21:53.660 after a soccer game

00:21:55.020 and they debated

00:21:55.880 what the nature of justice was.

00:21:57.640 That probably did happen.

00:22:00.820 The Republic

00:22:02.020 that Plato wrote down

00:22:03.240 about Socrates

00:22:04.120 probably mostly fictitious.

00:22:08.440 probably most

00:22:09.120 to demonstrate

00:22:10.160 a point

00:22:11.020 in the same way

00:22:13.400 that the book of Job

00:22:14.660 is written

00:22:16.160 to demonstrate

00:22:17.320 a point.

00:22:24.040 So you should put

00:22:25.360 the book of Job

00:22:26.260 next to the Greek tragedies,

00:22:31.920 next to

00:22:32.920 the

00:22:33.940 the Republic

00:22:35.380 by Plato.

00:22:38.440 Nobody gets angry

00:22:43.000 at Zeus

00:22:43.920 because Socrates

00:22:47.120 says that

00:22:48.120 we want to be good

00:22:49.180 to our friends

00:22:49.700 and evil to our enemies

00:22:50.760 and justice gets in the way.

00:22:52.540 Nobody's angry

00:22:53.480 at Tyr

00:22:54.200 for that.

00:23:00.160 Which is my point

00:23:01.480 that

00:23:01.960 there's a sort

00:23:04.400 ecclesiastical

00:23:08.360 ecclesiastical

00:23:10.360 it's like we're putting

00:23:16.820 the Bible

00:23:17.360 on some sort of pedestal

00:23:18.720 where it's beyond

00:23:21.660 analysis

00:23:22.920 and I think

00:23:24.880 that really hurts it

00:23:25.860 and it turns

00:23:27.940 something like

00:23:28.580 the book of Job

00:23:29.540 into

00:23:30.660 if you have to

00:23:31.820 literally interpret

00:23:33.120 the book of Job

00:23:34.720 if you have to

00:23:36.620 literally interpret

00:23:38.300 Medea

00:23:40.040 then you're going

00:23:43.700 to wind up

00:23:44.400 with a

00:23:44.860 really weird

00:23:46.340 world view.

00:23:47.100 the book of Job

00:23:50.400 is clearly

00:23:51.260 intended

00:23:53.320 to challenge you

00:23:54.680 to challenge

00:23:56.140 your thinking

00:23:56.780 to challenge

00:23:58.340 what it means

00:23:59.200 to keep the faith

00:24:01.420 even when life

00:24:02.320 is turning against you

00:24:03.340 of what it's like

00:24:07.080 to

00:24:07.660 not hate evil

00:24:12.740 not not love evil

00:24:14.940 and hate good

00:24:15.520 to still love the good

00:24:17.300 but to look at it all

00:24:18.960 and say life is unfair.

00:24:29.880 That's the context

00:24:30.900 it's written in.

00:24:31.860 It is

00:24:32.480 historical fan fiction.

00:24:35.220 It's very good

00:24:36.280 historical fan fiction.

00:24:37.660 So are all the works

00:24:39.400 of Plato.

00:24:45.760 Divinely inspired

00:24:47.040 absolutely.

00:24:49.200 In fact

00:24:49.700 I guarantee

00:24:52.160 I guarantee

00:24:56.600 the author

00:24:57.180 of the book of Job

00:24:58.880 had a profound

00:25:01.280 spiritual experience

00:25:05.220 meeting God.

00:25:07.660 so let's get to the

00:25:14.120 stages

00:25:14.840 and states

00:25:16.580 of integral theory

00:25:18.300 and what this can tell us

00:25:20.620 about the book of Job.

00:25:21.640 the book of Job

00:25:31.660 was written

00:25:32.300 at the tail end

00:25:34.960 of the Bronze Age

00:25:35.900 and the beginning

00:25:37.380 of the Iron Age.

00:25:39.260 This is when we were sending

00:25:40.780 from level

00:25:42.600 four

00:25:44.780 to level five.

00:25:47.160 So level

00:25:49.980 three

00:25:50.160 of social

00:25:54.660 understanding

00:25:55.760 of how we understood

00:25:57.360 our role

00:25:58.680 in society.

00:26:00.440 Level three

00:26:01.340 is the power stage.

00:26:02.940 a great summation

00:26:06.120 of the power stage

00:26:07.160 is from Conan

00:26:07.760 the Barbarian.

00:26:09.120 What is best

00:26:09.880 in life?

00:26:11.480 To

00:26:12.040 defeat your enemies,

00:26:13.880 see them

00:26:14.320 driven before you,

00:26:15.680 and hear the lamentations

00:26:16.860 of their women.

00:26:19.480 To be

00:26:20.400 on top.

00:26:21.320 And so this early

00:26:24.080 understanding

00:26:24.940 of God,

00:26:26.560 of what is right,

00:26:27.780 what is strategy,

00:26:29.740 came from this

00:26:31.460 level three,

00:26:33.420 how do I

00:26:34.380 be the guy?

00:26:35.620 level four

00:26:42.840 started

00:26:43.960 with agriculture.

00:26:48.100 Organized

00:26:48.740 agriculture

00:26:49.340 required that

00:26:50.320 everybody show up

00:26:51.440 five days a week

00:26:53.440 on time

00:26:54.500 and do their 1.00

00:26:55.100 damn job. 1.00

00:26:57.160 Whether or not 1.00

00:26:58.100 you feel like it,

00:27:00.000 show up

00:27:00.380 every day.

00:27:00.860 It was

00:27:06.060 about

00:27:06.880 4,000 years

00:27:07.960 ago,

00:27:09.000 yeah,

00:27:09.280 2300 BC,

00:27:10.500 so 4,300

00:27:11.540 years ago,

00:27:13.140 that agriculture

00:27:15.400 kicked into

00:27:16.580 the next stage.

00:27:18.580 This is the last

00:27:19.320 time we had

00:27:20.500 a conjunction

00:27:21.580 between

00:27:22.660 Saturn

00:27:23.180 and

00:27:24.860 Neptune,

00:27:26.740 I believe

00:27:27.360 it's Neptune,

00:27:28.360 at zero

00:27:28.900 degrees of Aries.

00:27:30.860 Don't quote me

00:27:32.840 on this video,

00:27:33.460 this video is not

00:27:34.940 about astrology,

00:27:35.800 but it was about

00:27:36.540 4,300 years

00:27:38.140 ago that the

00:27:38.640 current conjunction

00:27:39.460 that we're

00:27:39.920 experiencing

00:27:40.480 happened.

00:27:43.580 And when

00:27:44.480 it happened,

00:27:46.360 a young

00:27:47.120 cupbearer

00:27:47.860 by the name

00:27:48.380 of Sargon,

00:27:49.540 who lived in

00:27:50.020 Akkad,

00:27:51.020 overthrew his

00:27:51.780 ruler and

00:27:53.080 began the

00:27:53.740 whole idea

00:27:54.640 of building

00:27:55.320 empires.

00:28:00.860 To build

00:28:02.680 an empire,

00:28:03.900 every cog

00:28:05.500 in the

00:28:05.920 machine

00:28:06.360 needs to

00:28:07.080 function

00:28:07.440 correctly.

00:28:10.060 There's a

00:28:11.100 great

00:28:11.700 demotivational

00:28:12.500 poster from

00:28:13.220 the old

00:28:13.560 4chan

00:28:14.140 where it's

00:28:15.260 a bent-up

00:28:15.880 fork

00:28:16.380 next to a

00:28:17.980 bunch of

00:28:18.240 ordinary

00:28:18.640 forks,

00:28:19.180 and it says

00:28:19.660 just because

00:28:20.400 you're unique

00:28:21.280 doesn't mean

00:28:22.680 that you're

00:28:23.080 useful.

00:28:25.920 There's a

00:28:26.720 stage 4

00:28:27.200 morality,

00:28:28.360 a place

00:28:29.380 for everything

00:28:30.020 and everything

00:28:30.840 in its place.

00:28:33.160 If you're

00:28:34.020 not functioning

00:28:34.800 to build

00:28:35.320 society,

00:28:36.420 what 0.93

00:28:36.620 freaking

00:28:37.220 good

00:28:37.660 are you?

00:28:39.640 So we

00:28:40.320 take this

00:28:40.840 level 3

00:28:42.260 Conan

00:28:42.720 mentality

00:28:44.220 of I

00:28:45.280 want to

00:28:45.720 be the

00:28:46.140 guy

00:28:46.560 into

00:28:48.100 where do

00:28:49.960 I fit

00:28:50.600 in,

00:28:51.220 what are

00:28:51.480 my

00:28:51.760 duties,

00:28:52.680 if we're

00:28:55.000 going to

00:28:55.100 have a

00:28:55.360 civilization,

00:28:56.440 then people

00:28:57.000 need to

00:28:57.440 fulfill their

00:28:57.940 roles.

00:29:04.320 And the

00:29:04.960 question of

00:29:05.360 theodicity,

00:29:07.040 of if

00:29:08.940 God,

00:29:09.340 why evil?

00:29:10.860 I did

00:29:11.880 what I

00:29:12.300 was supposed

00:29:12.860 to do,

00:29:13.360 where's my

00:29:13.940 reward?

00:29:19.180 This is

00:29:19.820 something that

00:29:20.240 starts developing

00:29:21.060 towards the

00:29:21.840 end of

00:29:22.340 stage 3

00:29:23.120 as we're

00:29:24.700 transitioning,

00:29:26.000 or sorry,

00:29:26.300 stage 4,

00:29:27.920 4,

00:29:28.600 rules and

00:29:29.140 roles,

00:29:30.600 into stage

00:29:31.160 5,

00:29:31.820 achievement.

00:29:40.340 And so

00:29:41.100 that's what

00:29:41.540 you're seeing

00:29:42.000 stage-wise

00:29:43.180 with the

00:29:44.980 book of

00:29:45.300 Job.

00:29:45.620 it's a

00:29:47.500 bunch of

00:29:47.860 people at

00:29:49.380 the stage

00:29:50.400 development

00:29:50.940 of level

00:29:52.260 4,

00:29:53.580 questioning

00:29:54.120 why doesn't

00:29:56.760 it always

00:29:57.040 turn out

00:29:57.420 good.

00:30:05.160 Now let's

00:30:05.900 talk about

00:30:06.700 states.

00:30:09.900 States.

00:30:10.020 States.

00:30:10.060 States.

00:30:10.080 States.

00:30:10.100 States.

00:30:10.140 States.

00:30:10.160 States.

00:30:10.200 States.

00:30:10.220 States.

00:30:10.240 States.

00:30:12.080 States.

00:30:12.100 States.

00:30:12.140 States.

00:30:12.660 States.

00:30:14.000 States.

00:30:14.080 States.

00:30:14.140 States.

00:30:15.600 I said

00:30:16.660 earlier

00:30:17.040 that I

00:30:20.440 believe the

00:30:21.180 last,

00:30:22.520 the last

00:30:23.220 few chapters

00:30:23.940 when God

00:30:28.040 is sitting

00:30:28.640 there and

00:30:29.100 lecturing

00:30:29.640 Job,

00:30:30.960 Job,

00:30:31.380 where were

00:30:31.880 you when

00:30:32.260 I put the

00:30:32.700 foundations

00:30:33.300 of this

00:30:33.840 world?

00:30:34.480 Where were

00:30:34.960 you when

00:30:35.440 I hung

00:30:35.860 the stars

00:30:36.500 from the

00:30:37.060 heavens?

00:30:37.360 That's not

00:30:45.780 great rhetoric

00:30:46.440 if you want

00:30:47.420 to convince

00:30:47.840 people to

00:30:48.400 join a

00:30:48.760 religion,

00:30:49.100 to believe

00:30:50.680 a religion.

00:30:51.260 that's the

00:30:53.740 sort of

00:30:54.160 thing that

00:30:55.100 somebody who's

00:30:55.960 actually met

00:30:56.740 divine creatures

00:30:57.840 would say.

00:31:00.940 But who

00:31:02.000 met divine

00:31:03.200 creatures from

00:31:04.700 stage four.

00:31:05.600 somebody at

00:31:15.480 stage three,

00:31:17.180 the Conan

00:31:17.600 stage,

00:31:19.340 they're going

00:31:23.020 to encounter

00:31:23.960 divine messengers

00:31:25.180 that represent

00:31:27.620 ideas,

00:31:31.260 strength,

00:31:31.820 fecundity,

00:31:34.300 calmness.

00:31:36.820 At more

00:31:37.180 primitive levels,

00:31:38.020 they'll mistake

00:31:38.480 animals for

00:31:39.460 those divine

00:31:40.400 beings.

00:31:42.280 At stage

00:31:43.020 three,

00:31:43.460 they'll have

00:31:43.980 a primordial

00:31:45.620 pagan concept

00:31:46.680 of the

00:31:47.660 gods.

00:31:48.600 They'll

00:31:49.180 mistake

00:31:49.800 Ares,

00:31:50.600 they'll

00:31:50.920 mistake

00:31:51.340 Hestia,

00:31:54.020 goddess of

00:31:54.860 the hearth

00:31:55.340 and the

00:31:55.600 home.

00:31:59.620 At stage

00:32:00.680 four,

00:32:01.820 rules and

00:32:04.260 social

00:32:04.640 responsibility,

00:32:07.440 you start

00:32:08.360 encountering

00:32:09.680 beings of

00:32:11.080 state,

00:32:11.760 of social

00:32:13.340 roles and

00:32:14.620 responsibilities.

00:32:19.480 I'm the

00:32:20.220 king.

00:32:22.120 Do what I

00:32:23.080 say.

00:32:23.440 If you don't

00:32:23.940 do what I

00:32:24.360 say, the

00:32:24.620 whole kingdom

00:32:25.060 falls apart.

00:32:26.160 And you

00:32:26.440 don't want

00:32:26.840 that, so

00:32:27.180 do what I

00:32:27.560 say.

00:32:31.820 Job

00:32:37.380 is really

00:32:38.500 just saying

00:32:39.260 that line

00:32:41.500 from Casablanca,

00:32:42.980 the problems

00:32:44.560 of two

00:32:45.080 people

00:32:45.600 don't matter

00:32:47.060 a hill of

00:32:47.820 beans in

00:32:48.340 this world.

00:32:48.920 if you

00:32:53.200 don't know,

00:32:53.700 the plot of

00:32:54.140 Casablanca is

00:32:55.200 that two

00:32:56.540 long-lost

00:32:57.140 lovers get

00:32:57.700 back together,

00:32:58.520 but turns

00:32:59.880 out the

00:33:00.260 woman was 0.99

00:33:02.360 married to

00:33:02.880 some French

00:33:03.380 resistance

00:33:03.880 fighter or

00:33:04.420 something like

00:33:04.880 that, and

00:33:06.080 she's his

00:33:06.540 only reason

00:33:07.020 for going

00:33:07.400 on.

00:33:08.780 And so

00:33:09.320 Humphrey

00:33:10.020 Bogart tells

00:33:11.460 her, go with 1.00

00:33:12.460 your husband.

00:33:12.980 Yeah, we

00:33:14.200 love each

00:33:14.700 other.

00:33:15.380 We have

00:33:15.740 that romance

00:33:16.420 and God, I

00:33:17.020 miss you, but

00:33:17.920 we'll always

00:33:18.440 have Paris.

00:33:20.200 Your husband

00:33:20.720 needs you.

00:33:21.680 The whole

00:33:22.000 French resistance

00:33:22.920 will collapse

00:33:23.820 if you aren't

00:33:25.240 there to love

00:33:26.420 your husband.

00:33:27.860 So now that we

00:33:28.480 know he's

00:33:29.020 alive, you

00:33:29.620 gotta bury

00:33:30.220 this deep

00:33:30.720 down, gotta

00:33:32.420 cover up the

00:33:33.360 accidental

00:33:34.200 infidelity, and

00:33:35.620 go be loyal to

00:33:36.300 your husband.

00:33:37.080 Our love

00:33:37.580 doesn't matter.

00:33:38.640 The fight

00:33:39.120 matters.

00:33:42.980 So we

00:33:56.440 have these

00:33:56.720 characters in

00:33:57.420 Book of

00:33:57.720 Job.

00:34:01.060 We have

00:34:02.060 these people

00:34:02.960 talking about

00:34:04.140 the tragedy

00:34:04.780 that Job 0.53

00:34:05.800 went through

00:34:06.400 and getting

00:34:07.920 increasingly

00:34:08.520 profound.

00:34:09.800 And have

00:34:10.100 you not

00:34:10.460 been in

00:34:11.280 one of

00:34:11.540 these

00:34:11.700 conversations

00:34:12.380 where you

00:34:13.980 start to

00:34:14.500 feel the

00:34:14.860 edges of

00:34:15.260 reality

00:34:15.740 dissolving?

00:34:21.180 Tragedy

00:34:21.980 and

00:34:22.240 conversation

00:34:22.900 can bring

00:34:23.800 on a

00:34:25.180 psychic

00:34:25.560 state of

00:34:26.800 being.

00:34:28.580 It can

00:34:29.600 absolutely

00:34:30.280 bring on

00:34:31.060 one for

00:34:31.560 all

00:34:31.980 participants

00:34:32.620 involved.

00:34:34.360 Where,

00:34:35.380 if you're

00:34:36.240 at stage

00:34:36.960 four, God

00:34:37.720 shows up in

00:34:38.380 a whirlwind

00:34:39.040 and says,

00:34:40.780 where were

00:34:41.180 you when I

00:34:41.680 built the

00:34:42.480 foundations

00:34:43.000 of this

00:34:43.480 world?

00:34:47.500 And yet,

00:34:48.220 God also

00:34:48.780 offers the

00:34:49.360 solution in

00:34:50.180 that story.

00:34:52.160 Which makes

00:34:52.920 me think that

00:34:53.560 even though

00:34:54.340 it's a

00:34:55.060 fictional story,

00:34:55.900 it's not

00:34:56.360 actually about

00:34:57.180 Job,

00:34:58.200 I think it's

00:34:59.260 based upon a

00:35:00.100 real experience

00:35:01.000 by the

00:35:01.540 author.

00:35:05.280 And this

00:35:06.060 is the

00:35:06.580 transition

00:35:07.120 from four

00:35:08.900 to five.

00:35:10.760 Because part

00:35:11.500 of the

00:35:11.720 solution in

00:35:12.440 the book

00:35:12.700 of Job

00:35:13.220 is that

00:35:14.680 his friends

00:35:15.620 help him

00:35:17.060 rebuild.

00:35:18.780 They don't

00:35:19.500 just offer

00:35:20.060 sympathy,

00:35:20.880 they offer

00:35:21.620 charity

00:35:22.800 to him.

00:35:24.700 And they

00:35:25.280 work together

00:35:25.900 because they

00:35:26.440 realize that

00:35:27.380 Job didn't

00:35:27.880 bring this

00:35:28.260 tragedy upon

00:35:28.960 himself.

00:35:31.980 Bad

00:35:32.580 circumstances

00:35:33.340 happened,

00:35:34.100 Job is a

00:35:34.600 good man.

00:35:35.080 And if

00:35:36.380 you give

00:35:36.660 charity to

00:35:37.300 a good

00:35:37.640 man,

00:35:38.960 not just 0.97

00:35:40.020 any degenerate,

00:35:41.140 but a good

00:35:41.560 man,

00:35:42.460 that will

00:35:43.660 repay you

00:35:44.160 a thousand

00:35:44.520 fold.

00:35:48.360 And the

00:35:48.960 book of Job

00:35:49.420 is struggling

00:35:49.980 to say

00:35:50.460 this.

00:35:51.320 It's

00:35:51.680 struggling

00:35:52.060 to say

00:35:52.720 that there's

00:35:54.960 a difference

00:35:55.600 between somebody

00:35:56.380 asking for a

00:35:57.040 handout and a

00:35:57.840 hand up.

00:36:00.800 That's

00:36:01.320 ultimately what

00:36:02.220 it is saying,

00:36:03.000 but it doesn't

00:36:03.580 know how to

00:36:04.140 say that.

00:36:06.000 Because

00:36:06.600 handout,

00:36:07.300 hand up,

00:36:07.920 that's stage

00:36:08.620 five.

00:36:09.820 That's

00:36:10.420 achieve.

00:36:11.880 And Job

00:36:12.580 is one of

00:36:13.080 the first

00:36:14.100 written works

00:36:15.500 talking about

00:36:17.220 this level.

00:36:17.800 So,

00:36:31.080 what does this

00:36:31.320 mean for us

00:36:31.940 today?

00:36:36.060 Well,

00:36:36.520 first,

00:36:37.180 this is,

00:36:39.000 as I hope

00:36:39.600 I've

00:36:39.860 illustrated,

00:36:41.040 this is a

00:36:42.320 crystallized

00:36:44.220 portion.

00:36:45.440 like,

00:36:45.660 the Roman

00:36:46.380 Empire

00:36:46.920 was very

00:36:48.640 much a

00:36:49.080 level five

00:36:49.640 civilization.

00:36:50.860 That's when

00:36:51.220 level five

00:36:51.900 really took

00:36:52.740 over.

00:36:54.560 The Spartans

00:36:55.400 were a really

00:36:55.820 twisted version

00:36:56.580 of level

00:36:57.180 five.

00:36:59.500 Book of Job

00:37:00.440 is the end

00:37:01.240 of level four.

00:37:02.420 The cracks in

00:37:03.140 level four are

00:37:03.780 showing.

00:37:05.060 Oh,

00:37:05.360 these social

00:37:05.980 rules are so

00:37:06.780 great.

00:37:08.860 Why don't

00:37:09.500 they always

00:37:09.920 work?

00:37:16.160 The

00:37:16.920 transition

00:37:17.440 from four

00:37:18.080 to five

00:37:18.760 is also

00:37:21.560 something that

00:37:22.100 still happens.

00:37:24.720 We

00:37:25.440 tend to

00:37:27.120 transition

00:37:27.620 during our

00:37:28.300 late teenage

00:37:29.220 years.

00:37:32.900 Stage four

00:37:33.960 says everything

00:37:34.620 should be

00:37:35.080 just.

00:37:36.660 Right?

00:37:37.020 If you

00:37:37.300 see

00:37:37.640 communists

00:37:38.800 running

00:37:39.100 around on

00:37:39.580 the

00:37:39.720 internet,

00:37:42.420 those are

00:37:42.920 like,

00:37:43.380 communism is

00:37:44.120 just a

00:37:44.580 stage four

00:37:45.360 religion for 1.00

00:37:46.020 these idiots. 1.00

00:37:47.680 Everything, 1.00

00:37:48.320 life should

00:37:48.880 be fair.

00:37:50.540 Well,

00:37:50.900 you get to

00:37:51.280 level five,

00:37:51.860 you realize

00:37:52.440 life isn't

00:37:53.600 fair.

00:37:55.400 You got to

00:37:56.020 make the

00:37:56.380 most of

00:37:56.940 it and

00:37:58.320 accept your

00:37:58.900 losses and

00:37:59.760 get back up

00:38:00.660 and try

00:38:01.140 again.

00:38:01.600 sometimes

00:38:05.900 just the

00:38:06.420 roll of

00:38:06.720 the

00:38:06.860 dice,

00:38:07.260 man.

00:38:18.600 And that

00:38:19.240 encounter

00:38:19.740 with the

00:38:20.080 divine,

00:38:21.880 as I

00:38:23.540 said,

00:38:23.740 I believe

00:38:24.180 it actually

00:38:24.640 happened.

00:38:25.360 I believe

00:38:26.100 the book

00:38:26.660 of Job

00:38:27.060 is

00:38:27.260 autobiographical,

00:38:28.840 just that it

00:38:29.660 happened to

00:38:30.220 somebody in

00:38:31.620 500 B.C.

00:38:34.040 And he

00:38:34.780 wrote down

00:38:35.640 a fictionalized

00:38:37.340 version of

00:38:37.800 his own

00:38:38.120 experience and

00:38:39.500 used Job

00:38:40.420 as the

00:38:41.520 placeholder.

00:38:42.020 That was a

00:38:42.500 very common

00:38:43.000 thing to do

00:38:43.540 back then,

00:38:44.080 by the way.

00:38:45.220 Most of the

00:38:46.020 books attributed

00:38:47.060 to Hermes

00:38:48.040 Trismegistus 0.93

00:38:48.960 were written

00:38:50.560 by later

00:38:51.140 authors who,

00:38:53.780 in a sense

00:38:54.360 of humbleness.

00:38:57.940 They said,

00:38:58.620 I have

00:38:58.840 something to

00:38:59.460 contribute,

00:39:00.280 but because I

00:39:00.720 learned so

00:39:01.300 much from

00:39:01.860 him,

00:39:02.680 I'm going

00:39:03.000 to put it

00:39:03.340 in his

00:39:03.760 name.

00:39:06.380 Right?

00:39:06.900 They're not

00:39:07.160 trying to

00:39:07.540 steal his

00:39:08.060 glory,

00:39:08.500 they're trying

00:39:08.860 to add

00:39:09.760 to his

00:39:10.100 glory and

00:39:10.740 not be

00:39:11.080 narcissists.

00:39:12.140 Same thing

00:39:12.720 with the

00:39:12.920 book of

00:39:13.180 Job there.

00:39:16.000 I'll bet

00:39:16.480 that story

00:39:17.040 actually more

00:39:18.260 or less

00:39:18.600 happened to

00:39:19.120 somebody,

00:39:20.140 and they

00:39:21.860 had a divine

00:39:22.420 vision,

00:39:22.800 and they

00:39:23.460 wrote it

00:39:23.700 down.

00:39:25.520 And it

00:39:25.840 was a divine

00:39:26.300 vision shared

00:39:27.740 by a group

00:39:28.260 of people.

00:39:34.840 It was a

00:39:35.660 divine vision

00:39:36.240 with ontological,

00:39:37.380 not merely

00:39:37.840 subjective reality

00:39:38.960 to it.

00:39:44.900 And yet,

00:39:45.660 I don't think

00:39:46.260 any of you

00:39:47.100 are going

00:39:49.040 to experience

00:39:50.000 God in that

00:39:50.700 way,

00:39:51.560 because

00:39:52.520 most of

00:39:54.900 you are

00:39:55.200 not at

00:39:56.120 stage four

00:39:58.120 bordering on

00:39:58.880 five.

00:40:03.540 I think

00:40:04.380 most of

00:40:04.900 you are

00:40:06.480 at minimum

00:40:06.940 five,

00:40:07.520 six,

00:40:07.740 or seven.

00:40:14.540 And these

00:40:15.340 experiences of

00:40:16.380 the divine,

00:40:16.980 they absolutely

00:40:18.020 exist.

00:40:19.420 they can

00:40:19.760 exist

00:40:20.140 across

00:40:20.880 multiple

00:40:21.700 experiencers.

00:40:25.160 Many

00:40:25.740 people can

00:40:26.240 see the

00:40:26.600 exact same

00:40:27.200 thing.

00:40:35.440 Here's what

00:40:36.100 the book of

00:40:36.580 Job misses

00:40:37.260 from a

00:40:38.900 stage seven

00:40:40.380 perspective.

00:40:41.400 Job makes

00:40:47.540 the claim

00:40:48.100 that he's

00:40:50.660 always been

00:40:51.100 righteous,

00:40:51.900 that he's

00:40:52.160 always done

00:40:53.420 the rules.

00:40:56.060 When at

00:40:56.960 stage seven,

00:40:57.880 at second

00:40:58.520 tier thinking,

00:41:00.340 you begin

00:41:02.060 to recognize

00:41:02.800 you're

00:41:03.020 something,

00:41:03.880 you yourself

00:41:04.800 are something

00:41:05.620 that is

00:41:06.460 changing and

00:41:07.920 evolving and

00:41:09.240 blossoming into

00:41:10.660 the future.

00:41:12.580 And that

00:41:13.140 who you

00:41:14.220 were in

00:41:16.040 your teenage

00:41:16.500 years,

00:41:17.820 it's not

00:41:20.280 just a less

00:41:21.400 educated version

00:41:23.300 of who you

00:41:23.800 are, a less

00:41:24.420 experienced,

00:41:26.140 but a

00:41:26.920 fundamentally

00:41:27.440 different type

00:41:29.000 of thing that

00:41:29.680 you've grown

00:41:30.340 and blossomed

00:41:31.800 over the

00:41:32.940 years.

00:41:33.320 And when

00:41:36.920 you encounter

00:41:37.520 the Godhead

00:41:39.020 at stage

00:41:42.500 seven,

00:41:49.660 it's

00:41:50.380 it's far

00:41:55.660 more a

00:41:56.280 part of

00:41:56.740 you.

00:42:00.220 It's a,

00:42:03.920 you know,

00:42:04.240 you could

00:42:04.640 call it

00:42:05.020 your higher

00:42:05.420 self.

00:42:08.920 It could

00:42:09.740 be that

00:42:10.140 infinite

00:42:10.500 divinity

00:42:10.940 is being

00:42:12.760 shone

00:42:13.860 through a

00:42:15.140 crystal

00:42:15.540 and you

00:42:18.200 are that

00:42:18.620 crystal.

00:42:19.480 And so

00:42:19.800 inevitably,

00:42:20.700 it is

00:42:21.080 yourself,

00:42:22.080 even though

00:42:23.140 it's also

00:42:23.640 God.

00:42:24.100 And so

00:42:29.520 on the

00:42:29.880 book of

00:42:30.240 Job,

00:42:30.780 it's

00:42:31.600 experience

00:42:32.500 because the

00:42:33.180 first,

00:42:33.920 the first

00:42:36.400 stage of

00:42:37.700 perception,

00:42:38.820 levels one

00:42:39.400 through six,

00:42:41.360 are

00:42:41.800 completely

00:42:43.000 dual

00:42:43.560 in nature.

00:42:45.420 I,

00:42:46.060 thou,

00:42:47.660 me,

00:42:48.400 it.

00:42:51.920 Second

00:42:52.560 stage,

00:42:53.200 is where

00:42:55.280 you start

00:42:55.880 to realize

00:42:57.740 that you

00:42:59.020 can't have

00:42:59.560 a perceiver

00:43:00.420 without a

00:43:01.300 perceived.

00:43:03.040 That

00:43:03.720 perceiving

00:43:04.440 is the

00:43:06.080 perception

00:43:06.700 that I

00:43:09.020 and thou

00:43:09.740 are united.

00:43:16.620 Anywhere

00:43:17.280 you go,

00:43:17.880 there you

00:43:18.160 are,

00:43:19.020 sort of a

00:43:19.880 thing.

00:43:20.140 And

00:43:20.220 this is

00:43:25.080 part of

00:43:25.340 the

00:43:25.460 problem

00:43:25.840 that

00:43:26.040 people

00:43:26.360 have

00:43:26.860 when

00:43:28.240 they're

00:43:28.620 at

00:43:29.120 stage

00:43:30.240 six,

00:43:30.900 bordering

00:43:31.320 on

00:43:31.560 seven.

00:43:35.700 They

00:43:36.220 look at

00:43:36.520 the stage

00:43:37.020 four

00:43:37.360 understanding

00:43:38.060 of the

00:43:38.380 divine

00:43:38.740 and see

00:43:40.300 it as

00:43:40.560 very,

00:43:40.960 very

00:43:41.160 tyrannical.

00:43:44.320 Well,

00:43:44.920 because from

00:43:45.300 their perspective

00:43:45.920 it is.

00:43:48.720 It's

00:43:49.280 somebody

00:43:49.520 coming in

00:43:49.940 and

00:43:50.100 invalidating

00:43:50.820 your

00:43:51.020 perspectives,

00:43:52.220 as opposed

00:43:53.720 to

00:43:53.920 participating

00:43:54.400 with

00:43:54.800 them.

00:43:57.420 But

00:43:57.960 note,

00:43:58.360 that's

00:43:58.620 not

00:43:58.980 what

00:43:59.280 God

00:43:59.680 does

00:44:00.340 in

00:44:01.480 Job.

00:44:04.940 God

00:44:05.520 confronts

00:44:06.680 Job and

00:44:07.160 says,

00:44:07.500 where were

00:44:07.820 you when

00:44:08.580 I built

00:44:09.240 the

00:44:09.560 foundations

00:44:10.300 of

00:44:10.680 reality?

00:44:11.340 Who

00:44:11.680 the 0.99

00:44:12.020 hell 0.58

00:44:12.500 do 0.79

00:44:12.720 you

00:44:12.860 think

00:44:13.420 you

00:44:13.600 are,

00:44:14.080 Job?

00:44:14.460 who

00:44:15.500 that,

00:44:15.860 like,

00:44:16.140 what

00:44:16.360 do

00:44:16.740 you

00:44:17.040 know

00:44:17.560 about

00:44:19.320 how

00:44:19.880 the

00:44:20.160 universe

00:44:20.780 ought

00:44:21.840 to

00:44:22.000 be

00:44:22.180 ordered?

00:44:24.260 My

00:44:24.820 own

00:44:25.080 counsel

00:44:25.640 will

00:44:25.940 I

00:44:26.200 keep

00:44:26.700 as

00:44:27.480 to

00:44:27.760 who

00:44:27.920 is

00:44:28.140 to

00:44:28.380 be

00:44:28.600 ready

00:44:28.980 to

00:44:29.240 be

00:44:29.460 trained

00:44:29.980 to

00:44:30.180 be

00:44:30.340 a

00:44:30.620 Jedi?

00:44:37.000 But

00:44:37.620 he never

00:44:37.920 says

00:44:38.220 Job is

00:44:38.700 wrong,

00:44:39.100 does he?

00:44:40.500 Never

00:44:40.980 invalidates

00:44:41.560 Job's

00:44:41.940 perspectives.

00:44:44.460 Instead,

00:44:45.880 the

00:44:45.960 spirit

00:44:46.200 comes

00:44:46.500 upon

00:44:46.760 the

00:44:46.960 entire

00:44:47.460 group

00:44:47.880 who

00:44:49.620 had

00:44:49.820 this

00:44:50.040 very

00:44:50.400 intense

00:44:51.000 back

00:44:51.400 and

00:44:51.580 forth

00:44:51.800 about

00:44:52.000 what

00:44:52.160 is

00:44:52.300 right.

00:44:54.000 Instead

00:44:54.440 of

00:44:54.600 saying

00:44:54.820 that

00:44:55.000 anybody

00:44:55.300 is

00:44:55.540 right

00:44:55.760 or

00:44:55.880 wrong,

00:44:56.160 he

00:44:56.260 says,

00:44:56.520 here's

00:44:56.700 how

00:44:56.820 you

00:44:56.940 fix

00:44:57.280 it.

00:45:07.080 You

00:45:07.480 know,

00:45:07.600 the

00:45:07.700 people

00:45:08.140 that

00:45:09.120 come

00:45:09.380 down

00:45:09.740 on

00:45:09.880 that

00:45:10.060 story

00:45:10.600 for

00:45:10.920 not

00:45:11.140 living

00:45:11.400 up to

00:45:11.680 my

00:45:11.820 like

00:45:12.000 they

00:45:12.160 are

00:45:12.320 really

00:45:12.720 missing

00:45:13.080 the

00:45:13.300 point.

00:45:13.720 Yeah,

00:45:14.100 God

00:45:14.580 makes

00:45:15.420 a

00:45:15.580 bet

00:45:15.780 with

00:45:16.020 Satan

00:45:16.380 and

00:45:18.340 God

00:45:18.660 says,

00:45:19.060 who

00:45:19.120 the 0.98

00:45:19.300 hell 0.86

00:45:19.500 are 0.99

00:45:19.700 you

00:45:19.800 to

00:45:19.960 judge

00:45:20.300 me,

00:45:21.980 thou

00:45:22.300 puny 0.92

00:45:22.780 mortal?

00:45:24.920 But

00:45:25.420 he also

00:45:25.800 says,

00:45:27.260 here's

00:45:29.080 how you

00:45:29.500 fix

00:45:29.860 everything.

00:45:34.000 This

00:45:34.600 is a

00:45:35.380 story

00:45:35.680 that should

00:45:36.040 help you

00:45:36.600 ascend.

00:45:37.140 not

00:45:40.960 one

00:45:41.340 that

00:45:42.180 should

00:45:42.340 trap

00:45:42.620 you

00:45:42.780 in

00:45:42.880 bitterness.

00:45:45.600 Carpe

00:45:45.940 futurum

00:45:46.720 teni

00:45:47.620 traditum.

00:45:48.740 This

00:45:48.920 is
