i think the best way to introduce this video is to explain the inspiration for it why i'm making
00:00:23.040
this the inspiration is i was browsing on 4chan the other day and people were drawing some
00:00:33.600
interesting gematria connections about the pretty good ice situation
00:00:46.240
i mean forget the gematria for a second the fact that their names were pretty good
00:01:00.000
and gematria if you aren't familiar with it it's the it's where you assign letters to
00:01:09.520
numbers and then you add up the the the sum of the numbers of a name or an event or a place
00:01:25.840
and i believe that i was just skimming through it gematria is not my main focus
00:01:32.800
but i believe that both of the particular individuals had names that wound up adding up
00:01:42.240
to 88 which is also an interesting prison tattoo if you know about that aspect
00:01:49.440
so what gives man is everything pre-planned was this organized from the start
00:02:02.080
how long have these people had these identities
00:02:08.880
what's with all the movie props in the background
00:02:55.120
you find all of these patterns within patterns within patterns
00:03:06.480
scribe and transcribed enochian the language of the angels
00:03:11.760
they wound up writing down noting down a language
00:03:32.800
and i'd like to discuss the metaphysics as to why all of this happens
00:03:52.400
it can become quite dangerous just look at what happened to uh d and kelly
00:04:02.720
and i want to add one caveat before we really jump into it
00:04:11.200
that an expert is an expert is just somebody who is paid to have an opinion that's probably correct
00:04:22.320
there's always deeper you can dig there's always more you can learn about this stuff
00:04:27.120
i mean i remember when i was in university just walking through the university stacks
00:04:38.480
i'm never never gonna have time to read all of these books nobody has time to read all of these books
00:04:47.280
all we can do is follow our instincts where they lead us summarize and synthesize as best we can
00:04:56.240
and try and pass on these useful constructs to others
00:05:18.560
i've spoken in the past about the especially the major arcana
00:05:24.960
how the order of the major arcana the trump cards
00:05:33.680
you actually have the original star wars trilogy
00:05:43.120
other times i've pointed out that if you take the five states of consciousness
00:06:26.400
and the final two are the non-dual or the enlightenment
00:06:40.960
must have been designed by a mystery school adept
00:07:30.960
they're commissioned in the 15th century by the duke biscondi
00:07:38.480
the documentation on them just being playing cards
00:08:02.160
and in fact the suit cards having designs on them
00:08:08.960
the other cards looked like a regular playing card deck
00:08:35.280
it's not just tarot cards either or you run into this issue
00:08:49.840
it claims to be a distillation of the teachings of hermes trismegistus
00:08:58.880
it's got the the eight the eight rules of reality all is polarity all is masculine feminine
00:09:04.880
you know as within so without as above so below

00:09:14.240
it's fantastic stuff eight rules to live your life by that'll do a lot better than the
00:09:42.320
astrology astrology has a rich body of work surely it is ancient knowledge
00:09:57.120
astrology as we presently understand it didn't really exist in its present form
00:10:12.720
you even go back to babylon they didn't even have the sign of libra my sign
00:10:18.400
the the more cheerful and friendly form of aquarius
00:10:24.400
also ruled by saturn but in the good sense in the cutting intellect sense not the stealing your money sense
00:10:33.920
no most of the developments in astrology happened in the first and second millennium
00:10:43.760
the the vast majority of astrology comes from this period
00:10:56.560
i've said so many times that latin is the superior language to english i quite enjoy latin
00:11:09.440
and i haven't looked this up i'm just going off
00:11:13.200
general knowledge for the record but the the simple vocabulary of english
00:11:27.440
present-day latin but what we had two thousand years ago
00:11:33.360
overall even if it's not as beautifully organized and concise as latin is
00:11:43.280
to put it simply there is no there is no ur text
00:11:56.560
that contains all the secret wisdom of the universe
00:12:13.520
it's not even that old we have older books than that
00:12:18.480
the fact is knowledge has been growing upon knowledge
00:12:32.400
and you're not going to go and find that truth i am actually working right now on a grimoire
00:13:07.120
I am, this is the project I've put before myself to create a grimoire of all this knowledge that I wish I had right now and that I think many of you might find useful.
00:13:29.020
But I'm going to tell you right up front, there is no urtext.
00:13:31.740
There is no root text of alchemy that served to unlock both the spiritual and chemical practices that alchemy led to.
00:13:53.860
There's just a progression of knowledge. All knowledge is tentative.
00:14:01.740
And yet, when you pray in Latin, your prayers are more powerful.
00:14:11.620
When I use these medieval Pokemon cards, it is striking how accurate they are.
00:14:25.400
And the patterns you find in gematria and astrology are very, very significant.
00:14:35.860
So, what the heck is going on with all of this?
00:14:54.580
The metaphysics is what is the nature of reality?
00:14:57.240
What is the primordial duality that makes up reality is I-thou.
00:15:17.980
Now, here's the interesting thing about I-thou.
00:15:34.420
in fact, at the gross state of consciousness, you're not really aware of I or thou.
00:15:41.380
There's things in your environment, and there's your reaction to those things in the environment.
00:15:49.920
But the gross state of consciousness, the material level of consciousness,
00:15:56.760
is, in a way, it's sort of unconscious to all of it.
00:16:03.180
Like, you're definitely feeling what you're feeling,
00:16:09.340
but you're so busy feeling and seeing that you can't tell that you're feeling and seeing.
00:16:27.220
The self-reflective starts to come on at the subtle stages.
00:17:09.220
that there's other centers of attention out there,
00:17:38.700
You realize that observer and observed are made out of the same substance.
