You get transported by an old dude in like a minivan 61 00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,400 from where you drop off the cars to go back to the front of the 62 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,800 hotel. He's just listened in the rush Limball d Time radio. Love it 63 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,080 be like, sir, you're two, you're two poor to relate to this. 64 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,199 My co workers are hot boxing in the back. Let's go. Yeah. 65 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,279 No, there's not illegal to drive someone else's empty car, impaired from 66 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,920 one parking lot to another. And if anything, it wasn't even the drugs 67 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,399 that made me want to crash a car. It was the sleep deprivation. 68 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,319 M How were they sleep depriving you? I would work like a sixteen hour 69 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:35,360 shift and then I would work another sixteen hour shift eight hours later. That's 70 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,720 insane. Sounds like you got eight hours of sleep? Yeah, why don't 71 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,160 you hit the SACKA you quit? Well? No, I also had to 72 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,319 drive. There was about an hour away from got six hours asleep. You're 73 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:47,399 supposed to get sixty eight to night. Yeah, dude, you're good. 74 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,120 What are you fucking winding about? Double ships were tough times. Tough times 75 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,000 sounds fun, It sounds like it sounds like the best days of your life. 76 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,839 Really in many ways, grind moo baby, many ways it probably was. 77 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,199 Hasn't grind Pay those Florida tolls on the way to work, that's tolls. 78 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,199 I grew up in a state without tolls, and anytime I would have 79 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,480 to drive through a state with tolls, I was I would just always be 80 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,160 like, this is full ship. There's enough tolls in Orlando between like downtown 81 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,920 and where I drive is for the entire state. Sometimes I would actually lose 82 00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:24,519 money because they would overstaffed the shift so that they would cut people, so 83 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,959 I'd be there for two hours and I'd actually lose money because I have to 84 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,519 pay the tolls back. Sick. Well, I love that. Today we're 85 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,600 actually twenty two baby. I don't know about you, but yeah, so 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,519 today's episode, we're gonna be talking about something that was lightly brushed on I 87 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,000 believe in Rob's Patreon episode about the Gospel of Thomas. Rob is nodding to 88 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,000 me because he got up. Yeah, that was the Patreon episode last week. 89 00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:55,120 Yeah, so he talked about the Gospel of Thomas, which was about 90 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,040 how Jesus was a dick. Jesus was kind of a dick as as a 91 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,360 child, but it was a Gnostic gospel. I think the Gospel of Thomas 92 00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:09,199 is different than the the Infancy Gospel, but I've talked about both. Well, 93 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:12,879 we discussed an infant wrote the book, Yeah, a little boy named 94 00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:17,040 Thomas. But the Gospel of Thomas is part of a larger library of what 95 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:23,399 is considered Gnostic texts, and I wanted to kind of dive into, Like, 96 00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,240 if you listen to that, you know how absurd it was what we 97 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,480 talked about. So didn't the gospel we talked about on our patriot Oh, 98 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,839 we talked about the imfency Gospel. Okay, well, nast The gospels can 99 00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:38,279 be insane, and I wanted to tell the audience about it, about Gnostic 100 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:42,120 gospels, about gnosticism, Okay, in general, there, I love them. 101 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,319 They're insane, They're insane, and it's my favorite religion. The Bible 102 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:51,079 make really paints a linear path of Christianity. Mhm, you know what I 103 00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:57,120 mean? Yeah, no, it the Gnostics, for all intents and purposes, 104 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,240 have very similar fundamental ideas. They are just expressed in such radically different 105 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,199 ways. And we're gonna talk about that today. So first things first, 106 00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:12,000 gnosticism. You might be thinking, oh, like agnostic. No, it's 107 00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:15,439 not the same. That is not the Gnostic there, can you etymologize it 108 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:17,680 for us? Yes? Is it like nas like the back of your car? 109 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,959 Nas? Yeah, boost agnostic. It's actually that's just when you're a 110 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,560 farmer and you put NAS in your tractor or wheat thresher or whatever, you 111 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,720 know what I mean, and you break the dimension and go into a portal. 112 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,720 Yeah, that's right. And that's how you get to heaven, live 113 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:42,480 my love a quarter acre at a time, or farmly you didn't appreciate that 114 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,319 joke, go fuck yourself. So agnostics gonna we actually just got a new 115 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:50,040 audience with the Fast and Furious group popping in with that joke. Yeah, 116 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:58,279 so we're clipping that one. So gnosticism the bass word is gnsis. Agnostic 117 00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,800 means to not to not no hypnotically, okay, it means to not know. 118 00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,480 If you're agnostic, you're stupid because you don't know nothing. Basically the 119 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,879 whole tenet of agnosticism. Being agnostic means I don't think there's enough information in 120 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,399 this reality to prove whether or not there is a god or there is It's 121 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:18,879 not having a take that which is beta's fox sitting on the fence, have 122 00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,800 a take which I am. I'm agnostic. What's up? No, I 123 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,560 mean, it's it's fair like it's being honest, like I am an atheist. 124 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,360 But if it came down to it, that plan's going down or me 125 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,519 enjoyed you on the road and we're about to run into an eighteen wheeler, 126 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,799 I'll probably say in our father, that's foxhole religion. Just in case yeah, 127 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,759 yeah, yeah, foxhole christian So Gnosticism is also rooted in the word 128 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,200 nosis, which again is the Greek word for knowledge or insight. What is 129 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,480 the name given to multiple loosely organized religious and philosophical groups that flourished in the 130 00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:58,759 first and second centuries a d alongside proto typical sorry, proto orthodox Christianity. 131 00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,279 So they kind of came up at the same exact time, maybe a little 132 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,080 later, but not by much with your proto Orthodoxy, like you know, 133 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,200 Christianity before there was any sort of good structure. I mean, yeah, 134 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,559 yeah, I don't remember when exactly it was, but I know that like 135 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,440 once Constantine sort of made it the religion of the Empire. That's when you 136 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,480 have had the Council of Nicea and stuff like that, which gave like the 137 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,200 Nicene creed blah blah blah, kind of really formalized it a little bit more. 138 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:33,399 Movie what Constantine? Same yeah, different about that, different guy. 139 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,600 No, it's about that, oh is it? No kind of shoot him 140 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,000 up the vampire shoot or devil, shoot him up demons, but with the 141 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:48,200 paranormal with John Wick with the devil, which is honestly that's the final boss 142 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,240 I think in John Wick. Oh, is it should be. I haven't 143 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,360 ever seen John Wicks. I'm kind of out on John Wick. We don't 144 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,759 even talk about so much. Well, the exact origin of Gnosticism, fraternity 145 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,000 life and alright, let's go. I finally saw that meme by the way, 146 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:07,600 the Trojan horse. Oh yeah, that's very show. It's very good. 147 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:09,720 That was Scofield, so shouts to him. Yeah, that was a 148 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,399 good one man. The origin of this school thought cannot be traced though exactly, 149 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:20,159 although it is possible to locate influences or sources as far back as the 150 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,320 second and first centuries BC, such as the early treatises of the Corpus Hermeticum 151 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:31,039 and the Jewish apocalyptic writings, and especially Platonic philosophy and Hebrew scriptures themselves. 152 00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:37,159 So, in spite of the diverse nature of the various Gnostic sects and teachings, 153 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,120 there are fundamental elements that serve to bind these groups together under the loose 154 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,919 title of gnosticism or gnosis. But it's in the philosophy, No, it's 155 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,399 in It's in a bunch of different languages. It's pretty fascinating secret for your 156 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:54,399 Bartzvah. They do not they do not, And I will get to why 157 00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:58,360 that would not be in a traditional bar mitzvah later in the episode. Might 158 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,799 be that they believe in Jesus. That would be a big, big part 159 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,000 of it. Yeah, top two. Yeah, but Jesus is an elective 160 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,399 piece of Gnostic philosophy. It's a big part of a lot of them. 161 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,840 But it's not necessarily a tenant. I mean there was not even full agreement 162 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,480 on what Jesus was when the nice in council happened, right, the council 163 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,480 and nice yet whatever the fuck before they formalized, like what they were? 164 00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,600 Like, what the fuck was that guy? Yeah? Who was Was he 165 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,519 a prophet? Was he the Messiah? At some point he should have been 166 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:37,360 a tenant, right I think they all in an apartment complex or he's renting 167 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,000 word playoffs. Look, Jesus was always renting, never owned, He never 168 00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:45,039 owned. He just doesn't look like someone that owns anything, you know, 169 00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,159 No, he never. He also looks like a guy who would never pay 170 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:50,919 rent on time. Oh no, for sure, be the worst tenant really, 171 00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:56,440 oh man, maybe by like the fifth I mean you got to think 172 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,360 though, with the barter system, he could just be like brings some drugs 173 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:05,519 of water over spring. He's like, how about I heal your daughter's leprosy. 174 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:13,000 I don't need a healed daughter. I need twenty pieces of silver Jesus. 175 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Yeah, how about five fish. They probably take five fish. They 176 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,480 might take that. Actually. But from what I've seen as far as like 177 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,039 the universal across all of the teachings, there are three real main tenants. 178 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:33,519 One, it's my favorite. The material universe is a hellscape separated from true 179 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,639 divinity, probably true that is definitive and gnosticism. Yea. Being here on 180 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:41,600 a microphone with you two, it feels like hell. Yeah, no, 181 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,720 I thought you guys could relate to this. That's why I wanted to talk 182 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,639 about it. I get it and it. Actually Dan does live in hell 183 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,840 because he has to listen to it, like four more times. Yeah, 184 00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:52,360 he has to listen to us over and over. Dan's heard my voice more 185 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:54,440 than I have. Think about that. Yeah, almost certainly, I thought 186 00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,480 asleep to it. Yeah that's right, baby, go to see day. 187 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:05,120 That's for you later anyway, Oh, there he goes now. Second tenant, 188 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,320 the creator of this material universe is a bastard incarnate of the Godhead and 189 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,919 true divinity. So the God here that made the space that we live in 190 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:20,159 and occupy is evil more or less. So he's just like some fourth dimensional 191 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,440 dick hole exactly who made a computer game, who tried to make something. 192 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,759 Yeah, it's like playing roller coaster Tycoon and not finishing the ride. I 193 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:33,960 mean, this doesn't that is it. This doesn't not track with living in 194 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:39,679 a simulation. Nope, it's there's a lot of similarities between what is talked 195 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,279 about right now across a couple of different belief systems that are a fringe, 196 00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:50,080 and this stuff that was talked about over two thousand years ago. Nothing's news, 197 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:52,960 all just repeating what we talk about when like, shit don't change, 198 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,080 there's no like people talk about now. You know. It's like it's so 199 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,200 hard to make an original movie or show. Look, it's hard to do 200 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,679 parody because life is almost ramped up the insaneness. Yeah, but we've run 201 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,960 out. We ran out of ideas probably one hundred years after we started making 202 00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:15,559 art. That started one hundred thousand years ago. Yeah. The Bible that 203 00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:20,480 an original, doope? I mean the Big Flood Book. Yeah, there's 204 00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:26,919 this guy gil Gee. We have like three stories all throughout human history pretty 205 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,720 much, but as long as you hit beat for beat, we like it. 206 00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:31,720 We are, I mean, he can in a narrative arc, please 207 00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:35,120 the Hero's Journey, star Wars, just go beat for beat back everything. 208 00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:39,600 Yeah, it really is. We want the same beats over and over again. 209 00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,240 Yeah. It's always funny when like a kid's going into like a story 210 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:48,159 writing class or a screenwriting class and they just are like, oh, I'm 211 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:50,559 gonna try and push past convention. Why are you doing this? What is 212 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,919 that? And then they thrown a shot. Dick, you just throw a 213 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,159 spider at him? That did throw a spider at him. It dude, 214 00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:01,080 it was like you couldn't even see it was small. Ones are the worst 215 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,320 ones. Jake's dead now, by the by the time, are we just 216 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,720 gonna keep prophesizing until one of us dies? Well, eventually we'll be right 217 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,120 one of these days we will. But we're still doing this on sixty. 218 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,320 I think that I think your pancreatic cancer is gonna get yet. Be drinking 219 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:22,240 the fro. The little money we make from this podcast we should throw into 220 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,799 a ton team. It's not a bad idea. Keep it in some ridiculous 221 00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,759 like cryptocurrency, yeah, why not? Yeah? Uh, but film school, 222 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,200 everyone has that same fridge shot. You open up the fridge point of 223 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:39,519 view. Boom, Yeah that's og baby, that's uh. And then the 224 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:45,799 third thing that's important for gnosticism, So just to recount, universe is a 225 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,320 hellscape that we're stuck in. Two the person that created it, very thing 226 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:54,039 that created it is an asshole. And three knowing the first two things, 227 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,799 it's the only thing that helps you ascend to true divinity. Nosis knowledge, 228 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,200 what is true divinity? You will get to that. Robert, I want 229 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480 to know, though it's for the it's for the second half of it. 230 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,519 He's got like a priest taking his pants off. I'm like, just tell 231 00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:12,600 me, I'll still do it, and he's like, in time? Is 232 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:17,879 it part of the tease? Is it knowing everything but not being a nihilist? 233 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,960 Uh, it's very nihilistic. I don't know, it's somebody tweeted this 234 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,240 the other day. I think rob actually quote tweeted it. But like, 235 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:33,320 nihilism is just no narcissisms, pessimism, pessimism, same thing. No, 236 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,519 nihilism and pessimism are different. I thought it was Hi, nihilism is a 237 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,039 very pessimistic set of beliefs, But it was pessimist and pessimism. What you're 238 00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:45,000 talking about. Pessimism sounds like people who are pessimistic sounds smarter to human beings, 239 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,600 but they actually score lower on IQ tests than optim than people who are 240 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,679 more optimistic. It's almost like a lazy way to sound smarter. It is 241 00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,639 literally a lazy ways. Yeah. You ever been at work and there's a 242 00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:00,720 guy that just talks about how something won't work but doesn't say how it will? 243 00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:06,039 Ye? Yeah, that that person, right, like, and we've 244 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:10,880 all been guilty of that in certain places. I'm sure there's nine percent of 245 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,640 our audience is gonna direct all of this towards me, and which I answer, 246 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,839 I'm the most fun loving guy on this podcast. Dan's very positive off 247 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,079 Mike. He like when I came in, He's like, what's up, 248 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,079 Jake, I'm feeling so happy today. That was great. I really needed 249 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:34,799 that. Anyway. These various groups emphasize personal spiritual knowledge, nosis above proto 250 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:41,160 orthodox teachings, traditions, and authority of religious institutions, so they weren't very 251 00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:48,079 liked. No, you could imagine they were also kind of like hermits for 252 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,839 the most part, like, well, yeah, we'll get to that too. 253 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,519 Why they were hermits, and if the universe is a hell escape, 254 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:56,880 any sort of pleasure you can derive from it, it's bad. You shouldn't 255 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,359 derive pleasure from this plane. So so you're not you're gonna make the hellscape 256 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,920 even more hellish. You gotta lean into it, you gotta just okay, 257 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:14,839 cool, But it's the knowing that it's a facade is the only pleasure. 258 00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:19,599 But it's what think about it. If you live under these like cruel it's 259 00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:23,920 a way to So you're just kind of like, you idiot, you're eating 260 00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:29,440 No, not like that, Okay, you fuck. I mean, it's 261 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,440 definitely like that. I've read about enough gnostic groups to know that they're just 262 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,920 a lot of them are abstinent. Yes, they they're like, it's like 263 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,480 it's like cult monks. Well, I don't even want to like that, 264 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:41,359 don't even want to like expand their beliefs. They just saw They're like, 265 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,880 we're going to live in a desert. This is stupid. Yeah, they're 266 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,720 opting out the beliefs should be almost the opposite that if life is a hellscape 267 00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:51,279 and has no meaning, that you should derive nothing but pleasure. Well that's 268 00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,000 the thing too, though there's two thoughts to it. Right, You've got 269 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,240 to fuck your way out of this prison. It's nothing matters, will rob. 270 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:02,359 If you know that this place is evil and nothing truly matters here, 271 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,279 then you're free, right, and there's joy and freedom because it's like, 272 00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:10,799 well I did that, okay, whatever, that's fine, or like that 273 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,200 bad thing happened, of course it did. This place sucks, but there's 274 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,799 a freedom of understanding, right, and then that can lead to better like 275 00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:21,720 personal fulfillment because it's like why I'm gonna do whatever I want? Because why 276 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,799 not? And you know, as long as I know that this is bullshit, 277 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,680 I will get to a cent when I die. Okay, it sounds 278 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,880 like, you know, under Pant's question mark prophet, we'll get to that. 279 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,759 Come on, man, no, no, it's for later, like 280 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:45,640 it's what it's like. Well. Gnosticism generally presents a distinction between a supreme 281 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:52,440 hidden god and a malevolent lesser divinity, oftentimes associated with the God of the 282 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:59,119 Torah, with the lesser divinities a guy out of the Tora oftentimes not always, 283 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,200 but oftentimes I'm saying that who is responsible for creating the material universe? 284 00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:11,000 Yahweh? Right? Okay, So consequently, but yeah, yeah, so 285 00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:17,880 consequently, Gnostics consider material existence flawed or evil and hold the principal element of 286 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,440 salvation to be direct knowledge of the hidden divinity attained by a mystical or esoteric 287 00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:27,480 insight. So this is an orally passed down tradition. That's why you don't 288 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,039 have a lot of writing about two. There is some writing that we know, 289 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,559 there's very few writings, but we have, like what I'm getting to 290 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,240 is a creation myth that's going to explain all your questions. Okay, I 291 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,480 mean this was the Dead Sea scrolls, right, that wasn't Wasn't that anastic 292 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,519 group? I think, I don't know if the Dead Sea Scrolls are these, 293 00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:49,680 but I as a Ska band, what is it? It's the nag 294 00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:55,240 Hamadi texts that were found in Egypt. I don't know if those are the 295 00:20:55,279 --> 00:21:02,079 Dead Sea scrolls or not, but yes, So basically, many Gnostic texts 296 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,759 deal not in concepts of sin and repentance again, but with illusion and enlightenment. 297 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:08,279 So there's a positive side to it. It's about learning, right. 298 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:14,240 Gnostic writings flourished amongst certain Christian groups in the Mediterranean world around the second century, 299 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:18,480 when the Fathers of the Early Church denounced them as heresy. So again, 300 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,599 these guys are challenging the structure of organized religion. They're being called they 301 00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:26,680 are the first group to be called heretics by an organized proto orthodoxy, the 302 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:30,440 first. They are the first, like, they are by far the first. 303 00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:33,799 Like even though Christianity wasn't organized yet, they were like they were still 304 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:37,279 like, you guys are fucking crazy. They were big age heretics, not 305 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,119 like, oh, you're a heretic, like it was like, no, 306 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,920 you are officially like, you are a heretic. You are persona non grata 307 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,720 if you got a yeah. So efforts to destroy these texts prove largely successful. 308 00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:51,359 That's another reason why we don't have a lot of writing, resulting in 309 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,119 the survival of very little writing by Gnostic theologians. Nonetheless, early Gnostic teachers 310 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,480 saw their beliefs as aligned with Christianity. The Gnostic Christian tradition, Christ is 311 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,440 scene as a divine being which has taken human form in order to lead humanity 312 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,839 back to recognition of its own divine nature. So again, the material universe 313 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,359 is designed to keep us from realizing how divine we are and how attached we 314 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,759 are to a hidden dividity. So we should we be existing on the same 315 00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:22,640 plane as the piece of shit that made the this universe? Yeah, No, 316 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,480 we should be existing above it, above it. Yeah, he's kind 317 00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:30,160 of stuck in this middle ethereal plane. However, because nastissism, so we're 318 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,000 superior to God. We're superior to the god that made this universe, not 319 00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:37,039 the god head, the hidden God? How did he trap us in here? 320 00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:40,920 Oh, all of your answers are gonna or all of your questions are 321 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,519 going to be answered, rob if you let it go. Yeah. However, 322 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:45,880 because nasticism is not a single take your priest off or take your pants 323 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,880 off father, that's right, you get ready, loop up, or I 324 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,519 guess I will anyway. Nastissism is not a single, standardized system. It's 325 00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:55,440 a mutual thing. You know. It's a little bit on your wiener, 326 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,079 a little bit on your finger into my whole. It applies. You want 327 00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:03,160 to go both, you don't want to you know, you want it everywhere, 328 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,039 all the loop, Yeah, all the loop. Got it. But 329 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:12,599 because nasticism has like a real emphasis on direct and personal experience, there's a 330 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,480 wide array of teachings. That's why it's hard to find three lines directing personal 331 00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:22,640 experience of what seeing the fake god in the sky. He ruined it a 332 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,000 spoiler. He shows up once every thousand, Yeah, like what are you? 333 00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:30,480 What are you experiencing? You're like, yeah, I saw some kid 334 00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:37,119 get his head fucking caved in by a donkey, and yeah that's what I 335 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,799 That's when I was like, oh, for sure, this this is a 336 00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:44,519 bullshit simulation, typical proto orthodox he rhetoric from this one, He's like a 337 00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:48,759 super blue moon shows up like every fourteen years. Yeah, no he doesn't. 338 00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:51,720 I mean I think they make I think I just don't remember more of 339 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,880 like a Hailey's comment situation, and they make but they just make up types 340 00:23:53,920 --> 00:24:00,000 of moons like a super years. It's like I remember fourteen years ago, 341 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,799 Yeah I was twenty three. I don't remember hearing about people weren't as into 342 00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:07,880 the stars as they are now because we're falling into ass backward times right now. 343 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:14,079 I totally disagree. I remember I think I was in college. Ladies, 344 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,079 Ladies that you'll listen to this podcast. I'm down down with astrology. 345 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,200 Dan will take as many crystals depositories as you will give him. If it's 346 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,599 also sound with crystals if he will sound with crystals yea. In the Persian 347 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:33,400 Empire, nastic ideas spread as far as China via the related movement Manochihism. 348 00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:37,880 Well Mandeism, which is the only surviving gnostic religion from antiquity, is found 349 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,039 currently in Iraq, i Ran another diaspora communities around that part of the middle 350 00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:45,880 of the desert. They do because guess what, there's nothing there. Yeah. 351 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,480 Yeah, it's like, can't be fooled him over here? Yeah sweet, 352 00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:52,160 this place will suck ass forever. That's that's just confirmation bias. You're 353 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,599 right, he sucks. It does suck. This is a hell escape. 354 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,519 It's hot as fucking everything sand. Some guy comes back for a weekend. 355 00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:02,519 He's like, I don't know, man, I was in Baghdad and uh 356 00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:07,720 was dope. Maybe the God just made this part yeah yeah. The actual 357 00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:15,279 mirage is more desert, even worse. For centuries, most scholarly knowledge about 358 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:19,599 nascissism was limited to the anti heretical writings of early Christian figures. However, 359 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:25,279 there was a nude interest in nacissism after the nineteen forty five discovery of Egypt's 360 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,599 Naga Hamadi Library, so they found those Tennessee's goals in forty six. I 361 00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:32,119 think they were just discovering a bunch of shit. Yeah, And of course, 362 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,359 like Nazissism becomes way more prevalent again in the mid to late twentieth century 363 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:44,839 because Egypt made every sort of esotericism explode basically, like it was popping off. 364 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:49,680 People were trying to discover tombs anything. So he uh had a big 365 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,279 influence on the on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and then clearly in 366 00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:59,319 the second half two. But I mean like Egyptology was the thing. Egyptology 367 00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:03,480 is what to the rise of prominence of Alister Crowley and the teaching of Thelma. 368 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,319 It was the rise of prominence to a lot of people, like because 369 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,440 there was actual archaeological findings happening while these schools of thought were also being developed. 370 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:17,920 Like ah, I think it was hollenable of Votsky and theosophy is another 371 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,480 thing that kind of happens in Tanem with the Egyptian discoveries, Like because there's 372 00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:23,079 this actual scientific thing happening, and they're like, oh, we found some 373 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,720 books, everyone's able to kind of latch onto ancient he didn't know. I 374 00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:30,039 mean, it was a huge cultural thing too. All the way from I've 375 00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:33,599 said this before, I assume, because why wouldn't I have said this before 376 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,400 on this show. It's so on brand. But I mean, like my 377 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:45,240 fraternity, very Egyptology steeped in its tradition or whatever. Yeah, god him 378 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,920 boom, and then all the way up to one of the most famous SNL 379 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,000 sketches of all time, Steve Martin's King Tut when King Tut's body was torn 380 00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:56,519 the United States, and I mean that is one of the most the hottest 381 00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:00,759 tickets out there. Should have never dug those rows up, man, That's 382 00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,200 why it's weird. We're like the eighth people to dig them up. Those 383 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,759 tombs were fucking pillaged when British people found them by locals. Yeah it's okay, 384 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,960 Oh yeah, it's true. No, they would dig them up and 385 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,640 then so they wouldn't get stolen, they put the sand back, wait for 386 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,640 it to pass, thing them back up. Yeah. Touch was on touch, 387 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,880 which is why that's really one of the reasons it's so famous. Yeah, 388 00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:27,839 it was didn't get fucking grave robbed like every other one. That's an 389 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,200 exciting left on the twenties. Oh my god. Yeah, just trying to 390 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,839 find like treasure and artifacts. By archaeology and finding treasure, you mean looting 391 00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:42,680 other countries Like, yeah, they're not established, fuck them, Yeah they 392 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,559 didn't. They're not finding them on their own in their own backyard. If 393 00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:52,880 someone walks into my backyard and digs twenty feet into the ground while I'm asleep 394 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,559 and finds, you know, treasure, some treasure, that's his treasure, 395 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:03,359 I highly doubt you would believe that for a second. Yeah, you would 396 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,359 take them to American court. You would be like, oh, finders keepers, 397 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,960 Well what I would have done. I adhere to finders keepers. It's 398 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:12,920 the Actually, that's the fourth tenetive gnostics. I like, walk out in 399 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:18,200 my backyard at seven in the morning and dance ten feet deep with a shovel. 400 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,000 He's just pulled up a skull. It's just a drifter. But yeah, 401 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,680 he calls the treasure. It might be. Yeah, well your new 402 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:32,279 build there could be stuff. There might be a native native by ground. 403 00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:37,920 Yeah. Rory speaks and tongues a lot. Fin's been pooping only out of 404 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,640 his mouth for the last month. Don't she hate when they do that? 405 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:48,279 Kid? Kids poop the darnedest things. Anyway, The Nakabadi Library was a 406 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:51,759 collection of very early Christian and Gnostic texts, including the Gospel of Thomas, 407 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,200 Full Circle, and the Secret Book of John, which is what we're gonna 408 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:02,480 talk about right now, Book Revelation sick. So John wrote the Gospel and 409 00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:06,720 the Book the Copel John and the Book of Revelations. Yes, and and 410 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:11,519 I think it was John the Apostle. Oh yeah, that is what people 411 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,799 largely believe, and the Apocryphon. But we've had this argument where like was 412 00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,640 it a different John because it was like, there's also John the Baptist because 413 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,960 Revelations on the Baptises were dead though Revelations was written like seventy or eighty a 414 00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:25,359 d Right, he was an old man at that point. Yeah, so 415 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,200 he was just both suffered dementia and probably triple balls. Yeah, well, 416 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:34,079 get ready for the Secret Book of John. Actually, so this is going 417 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:38,400 to make the cut too hot for They're like Revelations, this is cool. 418 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,119 And then he just got a little too crazy. He started heat checking. 419 00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:47,680 He's like, what can I get away with? So let me what are 420 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,039 you trying to say? I'm trying to figure out who wrote It's yeah, 421 00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:53,839 it's attributed to John the Apostle, not John the Baptist, just making sure. 422 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,680 Yeah, dude, John the Baptist killed in the Bible beheaded Okay cool? 423 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,119 Oh yeah, why would he be why would he be right? But 424 00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,720 he was a brute. He wasn't really a thoughtful guy. Well he knows 425 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,200 his cousin. I believe he was baptized him. Well. Yeah, in 426 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,519 the Secret Book of John the Apostle, we get the NaSTA creation myth. 427 00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:18,880 All your questions about to be answered, answer them, Father, and it 428 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,720 is the most bizarre creation myth I've heard outside of like Hinduism and Eastern religion. 429 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,759 So for Western religion, it's definitely up there. Okay. John was 430 00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:30,880 probably a little high on the shrooms and was like, I'm God. I 431 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,079 created this. This is a heat check. Yes, it is a John 432 00:30:34,119 --> 00:30:38,599 heat check, because everybody is insane, and everybody on mushrooms at some point 433 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,759 believes they are God. It's easy to see you guys need mushrooms for that. 434 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,279 No, you can just be born in narcissist. It's fine. I 435 00:30:47,359 --> 00:30:52,519 just need to be pretty drunk, honestly, Yeah, not like five five 436 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,279 drinks in I'd be like, I am Amaz. I should be president. 437 00:30:55,599 --> 00:31:00,160 Two drinks in and a bump. Yeah, any point. You know what 438 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:04,200 I think of God now is this one? Let me go create something? 439 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,039 Anyway. The Nasti creation myth has come down to us in numerous different versions 440 00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:11,839 and different Nasti texts. It's apparent that there was never a single uniform version 441 00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:15,559 of the myth, but the different Gnostic accounts of creation that have survived down 442 00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:22,400 to the present day are variations of a very common model that different models don't 443 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,759 really deviate from. Like this is it? So there's a skeleton of the 444 00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:33,599 story and then things branch off on under different different like they shade it differently, 445 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,519 right exactly, Well, I mean that's how the Gospels are. Yeah, 446 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,559 they got there's the four Gospels all tell the same story, but there's 447 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,400 a little more flourished to some kind of riffle. John in particular, I 448 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:51,799 think, is the latest written and the most detailed, whereas like Mark and 449 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240 Yeah, but shouldn't John's be the most detailed because it's the most recent, 450 00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:59,559 right, No, because John was there, They were all allegedly there. 451 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,640 It was the latest written. Mark, Luke and Matthew were also apostles. 452 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,839 I'm almost positive I don't think so. I don't think they were all aposible. 453 00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:08,720 I think John was. And John was the only person at the foot 454 00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:13,200 of the cross. Well, here's the thing. So this was written in 455 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,000 uh, I think the early second century a d. So this would be 456 00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:20,640 written right around the time of revelations I believe, or right after right if 457 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,400 it was like just after one hundred, there's up. We never learned like 458 00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:30,440 all the apostles like in school I would do. But it's but with like 459 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,359 with like a rhyme. Yeah, Matthew wasn't. Matthew was an apostle. 460 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:38,759 I don't think Luke was. Bartholomy was. We know how he met his 461 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,640 end? Was he the skin guy? He was a skin guy. Yeah, 462 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,559 I love him. Just carrying around his skin like a purse. Probably 463 00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:52,960 convenient in heaven. Oh I got a bag, you know, it probably 464 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,319 is more convenient to just have your skin, yeah on you. Yeah, 465 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,880 probably the most. Well, if you don't have that, it's like a 466 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,279 fuck, I forgot my skin. You gotta go back. Damn guys, 467 00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:07,400 keep turning around. Forgot my skin. Anyway you think you get like a 468 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,599 notification like you're missing your AirPods, It's like, hey, your skin is 469 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:16,480 five miles away, go get anyway. This Secret Book of John is one 470 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,559 of the most thorough explanations of the myth, and I will go through some 471 00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:22,039 of the high level notes to give you an idea of what kind of haresy 472 00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:27,240 we're talking about here and why not just the Oh you're challenging our power structure, 473 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,079 but you're preaching this is the reason why they were labeled the Big Age 474 00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:37,000 heretics. Okay, so I will start now, God the Father, So 475 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:42,519 the Divine God had the True God, gave rise to a host of spiritual 476 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:47,920 beings who populated heaven, which Gnostics call the plemera, which translates to the 477 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,680 fullness, basically totality. This is the good place. This is the highest 478 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:59,000 level of heaven. And there are tearst a gnostic heaven, which it's so 479 00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:00,680 different. That's where the jading really comes in, where it's like, I'm 480 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,000 not gonna get into that. That's just not that's how we should do. 481 00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:07,960 Hall of fames though Hall of Fame tears. Yeah. Also, have you 482 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,000 ever heard that? I only they talk about it with baseball mostly I read 483 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,360 about the baseball, mostly because I'm baseball, bigger baseball than anything else. 484 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,760 But it's like the Hall of Fame should have tears, Like you can make 485 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,679 the Hall of Fame and your a Hall of Famer, but then there's tears 486 00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:24,360 within the Hall of Fame. Move up, there's like goats. Yeah, 487 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,760 there's like the tippy top of the pyramid, which is like you know, 488 00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:36,159 Babe Ruth Hank, Aaron Neither, Barry Bonds, Barry Bonds, uh whatever, 489 00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,519 those stand musual Ted Williams. And then you've got like second tier, 490 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,280 third tier, and then you've got like that you're a Hall of Famer, 491 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,800 but it's bottom tier. You're like fucking Brett McGriff literally McGriff love that guy, 492 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,679 but yeah, I do too. You would be at the lowest tier 493 00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,840 of the should be in it, but not that he's literally a Hall of 494 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,880 Famer like you should be for sure, No, absolutely, simply off those 495 00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:02,559 instructional videos. So yeah, he gives rise to a host of spiritual beings. 496 00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:07,519 This includes a divine Mother and the Son of the Mother, and the 497 00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:12,639 Father of the Christ or just the Son, depending on who you ask. 498 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,760 So one of the last of these beings to emanate from the Father is named 499 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:21,360 Sophia, and she wanted to do some creating of her own. But she 500 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,079 didn't want to tell her spiritual partner, which is just one of the other 501 00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:28,519 full beings up there, or she and she didn't want to get approval from 502 00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:30,760 the father. She was like, oh, he's making all this stuff. 503 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,920 I want to make something. I want to do my own stuff. Yeah. 504 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,079 So, believe it or not, we're not escaping original sin from a 505 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:40,519 female figure here. It's still there, dude. I honestly, the more 506 00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:44,960 I read at the Adam and e story, the more it just tracks. 507 00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:50,719 It still tracks here in terms of like I mean, like he said not 508 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,239 to do it, like we're living on his land, and she's like, 509 00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:59,800 you need to fucking sack up. Okay, I didn't marry, Like, 510 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,599 come up, be a man, be a man. You need to provide, 511 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,000 you need to trust me. Okay, you never listen to me. 512 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,079 And he's finally just like, oh my god, fine, I know you're 513 00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:13,000 a man without a rib, but you're acting like a man without a backbone. 514 00:36:15,519 --> 00:36:17,320 Well done, nicely done, Yeah, very nice. It's tracks like 515 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:23,360 she just pesters him until he's like, okay, so Eve actually is a 516 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,679 hero in this story. Sofia is kind of a fuck up. Okay, 517 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:34,000 So the being born under the circumstances. She had bad spirit GUIDs, Sofia 518 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,480 to answer this non sequitor question, she doesn't have spirit GUIDs. She lives 519 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,519 with a bunch of spirits. Yeah, she is a spirit. She is 520 00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:45,960 a spirit. She would be a spirit guided like, yeah, she is 521 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,679 an angel. Has a guardian angel? Yeah? Do you what if they 522 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:53,159 do? Do you have a guardian angel? Michael uh So? The being 523 00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:59,519 born under the circumstances in which Sophia creates it is nothing like the perfect inhabitants 524 00:36:59,559 --> 00:37:04,840 of the Plan Mirah. Instead, it was hideous and misshapen. It is 525 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,960 described as a snake with a lion's head and its eyes burned like lightning. 526 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,519 So it's kind of cool looking. It's metal, yeah, very metal, 527 00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:15,760 but it's just not natural, you know what I mean, Like it's somebody's 528 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,039 first day at the genetics lab. Yeah, and there's like a snake with 529 00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:28,800 a sheep's head, and it's just like that is exactly that thing you just 530 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,320 described is our god on this and it's just you know, Sigourney, we 531 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,039 were an aliens direction like the other ones, but it's just like kill me 532 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,280 trying to get the alien DNA out of her and opening an act for Pt. 533 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,760 Barnum. Yeah, it's an island of Doctor Moreau kind of thing. 534 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,440 It's a left handed woman in this at the circus, right, not even 535 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,599 bearded. This woman rets with the devil hand. Look at how she scribes 536 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,760 rand gets a lashy. Look at the way the ink smudges out of God's 537 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:07,119 pain. So, in fear and shame, Sophia casts her son, this 538 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,599 bastard thing, out of the divine realm, in the hope that none of 539 00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:15,679 the other inhabitants of that perfect place would see him. So she tries to 540 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,559 literally sweep a bastard dragon headed or a lion headed snake under the rug. 541 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:28,159 Who among us? Who among us hasn't had the idea to create a new 542 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,320 dog breed? You know? You combine a Great Dane with a Chihuahua and 543 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,559 see what you get. And then twelve great Dane puppies explode out of a 544 00:38:37,639 --> 00:38:42,119 chihuahua. They're all monsters, and you just have to take them out back 545 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,039 and drown them. And yeah, put it. You put them in a 546 00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:49,400 potato sack and you throw them into a river with one cinder block. Who 547 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:54,719 among us? Yeah, well ton, they looked horrible. They looked horrible. 548 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,159 Can't confirm it was the most humane thing to do, slowly drowning them. 549 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:04,639 They were great Dane heads on Chihualla bodies. They just dragged them. 550 00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:07,719 They just dragged their heads. Things weren't meant to live. No, somebody 551 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,880 proud of breeds them. It's probably I'd love to find out. I'm still 552 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:19,119 amused at the sick funck who bred Leo your dog, a shiba inu and 553 00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:24,440 a pug. Just hold that those fuck someone for sick twisted pleasure. That's 554 00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:32,039 Louis Anderson having a baby with Ariana Grande. I mean, Ariana Grande's early 555 00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:36,079 your go too. She gets a lot of play from Rob so much play, 556 00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:40,960 dude. She's just she's so obtainable. She's insanely obtainable. Yeah, 557 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:47,599 every which is hilarious. It shouldn't that shouldn't be the case. To conceal 558 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,000 further the bastard thing, she envelops him in a shining cloud and places him 559 00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:55,599 on a throne in the middle of it. Way to give him a god 560 00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:59,920 complex. You put him on did you put him on the throne? Not 561 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,239 the potato sack? Yes, rom into an ethereal river. I guess the 562 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,119 fullness didn't have like a river or something to murder things in, right, 563 00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:08,800 so she had to make like a cloud and hide a minute, which I 564 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:14,000 guess fooled a lot of people for a while. But she named him. 565 00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:19,320 Yeah, a both, that's your first mistake. I'm no, I'm just 566 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,760 saying, if you're gonna, if you're gonna kill san in a bastard, 567 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,000 you don't name it. Y'alled about probably means from what we can gather, 568 00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:30,360 like we didn't name our ectopic pregnancy. Should we just aborted it? M 569 00:40:31,639 --> 00:40:36,719 M, I'm just kidding, r I P. Steve. Anyway, y'all 570 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,440 abouth loosely translates to the child of chaos. Okay, so y'alled a both 571 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,679 then goes on to make I wonder if that's like lost in translation, because 572 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,840 you know how like if you like, you know, like there's like slang 573 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,079 in like Chinese or any language that is in English and and English idioms or 574 00:40:53,119 --> 00:40:55,320 whatever sound crazy. No, the languages too right, you know what I 575 00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:00,559 mean? But like a Chinese like something that's like totally normal, slanging them 576 00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:05,159 will translate to like child of chaos, but it just means like idiot or 577 00:41:05,199 --> 00:41:07,679 like mad lad or you know what I mean, like something like that, 578 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:12,519 Like it'd be funny if if what it really meant, like translated from their 579 00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:16,639 heaven language, was just like shit monster, it just means like yat about 580 00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:22,079 just means abortion. It's like, oh, shit head, Steve, Yeah, 581 00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:25,199 so yat about. Then, in turn, because he has some sort 582 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,119 of spiritual vinity in him from Sophia, he a little bit of mom in 583 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:37,800 him, he mates with himself and generates twelve archons. These are demonic beings 584 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,239 who would shortly come to rule the earth from the celestial spheres above it, 585 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,119 but not in the fullness. This thing is so bad at making life. 586 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:51,000 Sophia is so so bad. God, imagine having care of a child every 587 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:59,039 time you masturbated. That's not how that works. Yeah, that's what this 588 00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:02,360 guy does. Rob Yeah, no, no, he made love to himself 589 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,920 and he he popped out twelve kids. Yeah, that's demonic babies, that 590 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,119 is what happened. So well he could take care of him though. So 591 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,360 the names of these it's like when you see that seahorse blasting, like when 592 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,039 a seahorse gives birth. If you've never seen that video, look it up. 593 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,960 It's just like and it just shoots out like two hundred fucking babies. 594 00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:24,880 Like he's not leading them around like ducklings. No, they're just they're good 595 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,119 luck, yep, have fun in the ocean. Two of these arcons are 596 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:36,039 familiar, and the biblical cannon they are cane and able or two of the 597 00:42:36,159 --> 00:42:40,559 archons. Okay and we will just feels like just a bad yeah. Yeah, 598 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:47,480 well it was written well after Yeah. Yeah, because of the Okay, 599 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,239 I'm gonna start using the word demiers instead of saying yalla bouth all the 600 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,760 time. Demiers just meets false God. So because of the demiers just foolishness. 601 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,559 He was wicked and ignorant of his ancestry. He didn't know about the 602 00:42:58,599 --> 00:43:02,519 big god up in the sky, so he belligently proclaims, I am God, 603 00:43:02,679 --> 00:43:06,679 and there is no other God beside me. So familiar. If you 604 00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:08,599 don't know, you don't know. Yeah, it sounds very familiar. Yeah, 605 00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:12,280 it sounds like the Hebrew God. Right, isn't that the first commandment? 606 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,480 Basically, yes, it is. The twelve original arcons generated new arcons 607 00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:19,199 until there were three hundred and sixty five of them, one to rule over 608 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,800 each day of the year. So every day of the year here is ruled 609 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,519 by some sort of thing. I never got that first commandment though, Like, 610 00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:29,480 if you're all mighty, why don't you have more confidence in yourself? 611 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,679 Not if you're a demon horse thing or a snake headed or a line headed 612 00:43:32,679 --> 00:43:36,840 snake, for sure, but act like you've been there before you and since 613 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,199 you live in the fourth dimension, you have Yeah, wait, should just 614 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:45,159 have more confidence. So Sophia's son, Yadabov, had the model of Plemari 615 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,840 within himself. He creates the material world based on that model, but because 616 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,360 of his ignorance and depravity, it came out all all. That's how it's 617 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,079 translated. It just came out bad. Sure, it's a bad batch. 618 00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:00,480 Yeah, So it came out corupted and far and fury of the divine model. 619 00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:04,639 So Sophia watched all of this and was stricken by distress and guilt. 620 00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:08,800 She wept and repented for giving birth to sister, a monstrous entity. The 621 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:14,079 Father heard her please and promised to forgive her and restore her to reformer stature, 622 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,519 but first she had to stay in between the layer of the heavens, 623 00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:22,679 closest to the Plemra and still above the chaos baby, until she had a 624 00:44:22,679 --> 00:44:25,559 tone for a sin and menat her deficiency. So she's in kind of a 625 00:44:25,559 --> 00:44:29,559 purgatory. It's it's weirdly, it's a heaven, but it's a purgatory. 626 00:44:29,559 --> 00:44:31,800 Like to us, it would be a heaven to them, it's like essentially, 627 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,800 oh fuck, I'm on a lower plane. The sucks. Yeah, 628 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,760 it's a it's a purgatory. Meanwhile, the fucking snake and his archon saw 629 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,840 an image of the heavenly atom from the Father's pristine realm. So there was 630 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,519 a heavenly atom okay from top. They didn't know where it came from, 631 00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:49,760 but they were really stoked about it. They're like, oh, look, 632 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,480 they can make this ship. They decided to attempt to create a human being 633 00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:55,559 for themselves, but at first they're creation lay lifeless on the ground. They 634 00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:00,199 couldn't figure out how to make it work. Come on, do some then, 635 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,760 that's exactly what. As they stood around the limb body puzzling over what 636 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,599 to do, the beings of the plemera so the high beings came up with 637 00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:12,880 a plan to help the part of Sophia that had become trapped in her baby, 638 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,840 and they wanted to return her so that she could then return to the 639 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:21,800 Plemra. Emissaries from the Plemera appeared to the Chaos Baby and advised him to 640 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:27,960 breathe his spirit into the shitty Adam's face, after which they assured him the 641 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,519 body would awaken and stand up. So we did it, and Sophia's power 642 00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:37,559 fled out of the Chaos Baby and into Earth Adam, bringing the first man 643 00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,800 to life. Because of Sophia's power within him, he was already wiser and 644 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,360 more spiritual and more intelligent than his creators. Which I don't see how this 645 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,719 track. So like, she makes a baby and it sucks and it's awful, 646 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,920 right, he makes a baby with her spirit and it's like, good 647 00:45:52,039 --> 00:45:55,199 to go. Well, but she didn't make it with her spirit, right, 648 00:45:55,239 --> 00:46:00,079 she just fucking molded it, I guess. So she's made with her 649 00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:02,199 hands out of spirit. There's a lot of rooms, like she just was 650 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:07,159 slapping shit together and she made the fucking and that honestly attracts a little bit, 651 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:12,400 right, So like, but they're still a part of her making a 652 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:20,639 baby in the natural way. Good go, test tube baby monster. There's 653 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,119 more like art. It's abstract. Just try and thinks as long as it's 654 00:46:24,159 --> 00:46:30,960 not pop art. Yeah, then y'all about went on to paint a tomato 655 00:46:30,039 --> 00:46:36,159 can not no kidding. So out of jealousy and resembment, the archons made 656 00:46:36,199 --> 00:46:38,360 out immortal because he had divine energy within him, and they're like, well, 657 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,840 you need to die, motherfucker. Yeah, you're gonna die one day, 658 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,320 you bitch. They placed him in the Garden of Eden, which they 659 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,400 filled with all kinds of delicious foods to make him attached to material pleasures and 660 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,400 distract him from his true divine nature, so he won't he won't look up 661 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,599 because he's too busy living off the fact. He won't hang up and hang 662 00:46:55,639 --> 00:47:00,079 out. Yeah, exactly, real quick, before we keep going, and 663 00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:05,079 we do have some ads.

That's 667 00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:23,400 why I love talking about simply Safe. It is the home security system that 668 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,280 I have in my house. And by the way, I said before, 669 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,039 but like at first, the first time I heard about simply Safe, I 670 00:47:30,039 --> 00:47:31,119 was like, oh, sounds cool. It's like a new thing or something 671 00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:36,320 like that. Once I bought a house and started living in a neighborhood, 672 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,280 there are Simply Safe signs all over my neighborhood, to the point where it 673 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:45,800 is absurd. I assume most of them are listeners of the show and that 674 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,480 I am the most famous person in my neighborhood, and in fact, but 675 00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:51,719 love by it. It's why I never go outside. I'm afraid they're gonna 676 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,519 mob me. I see these signs from my car, all the windows tinted, 677 00:47:54,639 --> 00:47:59,119 including the windshield. But anyway, Simply Safe. I have their home 678 00:47:59,159 --> 00:48:04,440 security system. It's dope. Uh. It is so so easy to use. 679 00:48:04,519 --> 00:48:07,760 I love the appux is. It's easy to install. You install it 680 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,639 all yourself. It's it's you know, you don't need to have like some 681 00:48:09,679 --> 00:48:13,280 professional come out and pay extra for that, and like that. You just 682 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,199 set up the camera's boom, good to go. He set up. Its 683 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:20,679 connected to your Wi Fi and it's all good. They have twenty four seven 684 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,400 live guard protection and it's made possible through Simply Safe new smart alarm, wireless 685 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:29,079 indoor camera. Uh. Now they have a fast protect monitoring plan. If 686 00:48:29,079 --> 00:48:32,639 an intruder breaks into your home. Simply safe monitoring agents can actually see and 687 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:38,679 speak to and attor them, which sounds like a dope job to have watching 688 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,519 like watching something like getting an alert and you turn on someone's home camera and 689 00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:47,840 you're like, hey, hey, we call the cops. Uh, you 690 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,239 can stay or go, I guess, but they're gonna be there. And 691 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,800 the cops in this town are dicks. They really are, so especially where 692 00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:00,920 you good luck. They're ready to roll. They are waiting to use that 693 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,719 gun. Yeah, they're there, are three thousand miles away from New York, 694 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,679 and they all have let's roll on their car. So you might want 695 00:49:06,679 --> 00:49:08,199 to You might want to just get the hell out of there. Like really 696 00:49:08,199 --> 00:49:10,119 I would. I would if I didn't have this job, I'd do that 697 00:49:10,199 --> 00:49:14,440 job. No, but these simple save agents are incredible. Uh and the 698 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,519 fact that they can do that is incredible. Uh. They also have a 699 00:49:16,519 --> 00:49:22,079 warning uh there you know that they're being recorded and police are on their way. 700 00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:24,119 It's a game changer for home security. Like I said, I love 701 00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:27,880 the UX on the app. The app is incredible, Like it's super easy 702 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,880 to use, can switch through cameras like literally just swipe through cameras like you're 703 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,960 on tender, Like this room sucks, next room, blah blah blah. 704 00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:37,519 I like the UX is great, the installation is super easy, the tech 705 00:49:37,639 --> 00:49:42,800 is really good.

It's an advanced motion detection and vision AI can sense the difference between 708 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,000 potential intruders and pets.

This basically is the start of like how this intertwines the Eden 795 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:37,880 myth intertwines with between the two. Right, so the Arkons wanted to possess 796 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,000 Adams divine insight for themselves, so they took it out of Adam and created 797 00:55:42,039 --> 00:55:45,480 a new being to house it. Eve. When Adam saw her, he 798 00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:51,639 instantly recognizes her as her spiritual counterpart. At So the serpent in this story 799 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,840 is Christ. At Christ's urging Adam and Eve eat from the tree of knowledge 800 00:55:57,079 --> 00:56:00,800 again, back to nosis and growing their understanding and their superiority over their own 801 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:06,400 creators. You see why they're called heretics now, Like it's so queer. 802 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,599 Why they're like, you believe what that Jesus is satan? Yeah? Wait 803 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:15,239 what now boiling over with hatred and envy. This is where it gets insane. 804 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,880 Jesus was still saving him. He was, so it's still he's Christ 805 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,440 is still a savior. It's just a different part of the story. Right. 806 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,400 Well, now they're basically saying that the serpent is a savior, right 807 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:30,360 Jesus, But Jesus, God's the big bad God is a big bad But 808 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:35,280 then there's a cooler God. There's a head God. Yeah, way that 809 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,039 they're way removed frohim, that we're all very removed from. It doesn't really 810 00:56:37,039 --> 00:56:42,280 care about anything. Well, it's like, what why would big God care 811 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,199 about your fucking four degrees down like seven, and it's like, oh, 812 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:49,960 and who made that thing the lion snake? So don't give I guess check 813 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,360 it out. Like the god whoever makes your simulation might give a shit about 814 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:58,639 what's happening in your simulation. But the guy, but let's say that is 815 00:56:58,679 --> 00:57:02,440 also in a simulation, whoever made the simulation three simulations above them, it 816 00:57:02,519 --> 00:57:07,400 was like, whatever, not gonna care. It's like or that computer engineering 817 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,559 class. It's like a C student. But imagine in right in our simulation 818 00:57:12,519 --> 00:57:16,559 there is like one there's like a bitcoin wallet password, and so the head 819 00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:20,360 god is like, okay, we need oh yeah, we need a little 820 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,880 bit of that. Right, So that's what's happening here, right God, 821 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,000 that is the most podcast ass way to talk about any of this shit. 822 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,639 But it makes simulation killing bad. I'm sorry to everyone you wants to care, 823 00:57:30,679 --> 00:57:34,320 all the women away from this podcast. Well we're about to get into 824 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,960 rape. So now boiling over with hatred and envy themmyrs left. The lion 825 00:57:38,239 --> 00:57:43,599 snake rapes Eve and cast her in her mate out of the garden. The 826 00:57:43,679 --> 00:57:46,880 two sons you're grossing out, get out the two sons born from this tragic 827 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:51,599 intercourse are the human versions of canaan Abel. This is just bad writing. 828 00:57:51,679 --> 00:57:53,920 It's really bad. It's also fun. It's fun, but it's bad. 829 00:57:53,960 --> 00:58:00,000 But most gods in every other like paganism or any other religion, they're typically 830 00:58:00,079 --> 00:58:02,119 pieces of shit. Yeah, they're all pieces of shit. Yeah. But 831 00:58:02,239 --> 00:58:06,639 Adam and Eve later have a loving, consensual sex on their own, and 832 00:58:06,679 --> 00:58:13,199 they produce out of their union an enlightened boy. Would they name Seth Yeth? 833 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,079 Yeah, they're hitting all the notes. I love Seth. Yeah. 834 00:58:15,159 --> 00:58:20,440 Isn't Seth the bad guy and other stuff? No, Seth just doesn't. 835 00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:24,840 That's just the third kids. Yeah, yeah, that's dope. Seth is 836 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:29,280 actually like he gets no run. The should actually do an entire episode on 837 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,599 Seth. Seth gets the most run and narcissism. He's like this heavenly perfect 838 00:58:32,599 --> 00:58:35,719 boy. It's like, oh, because he's made out of love. I 839 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,239 fucking love Seth. Yeah. So Lion Sneake can't bear the fact that they 840 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,840 are now three beings in his creation who are enlightened and superior for him, 841 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,800 so he forces Adam and Eve and Seth to drink the water of forgetfulness so 842 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,519 that they will lose their knowledge, but the capacity to revive their knowledge lace 843 00:58:52,599 --> 00:58:55,840 dormant within them, and the lion snake is incapable of expungions like a fantasy 844 00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,719 story I hate, like how can we put out the fire as of Oregon? 845 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,079 And it's like and like you, there's like no answer, like no 846 00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:07,800 water will work. Only the wind of sheer more you can do it. 847 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:08,639 And it's like, what's the window? She like it is, bring it 848 00:59:08,639 --> 00:59:13,440 out of It's the cones of Dundersheier whatever from Years and rec. You know, 849 00:59:13,519 --> 00:59:15,840 You're like, oh, you must have a thief and the thief can 850 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,119 only move seven moves, but the knights can move. It's like come on, 851 00:59:19,519 --> 00:59:22,679 but then Seth just kind of stomps it out with his foot. Yeah 852 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,360 right, because of course it's it's also Patton Oswalt and Parks and Rec explaining 853 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:34,400 Star Wars. Yeah yeah, So the lion stink isn't capable of fully erasing 854 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,840 their knowledge. It's dormant within them, and their spiritual descendants among human kind 855 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:42,599 remain capable of regaining that saving illumination that Christ gives them. All they need 856 00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,079 is a savior Christ to reveal it to them, as He did for their 857 00:59:45,119 --> 00:59:50,920 first ancestors. As the title might suggest, the Secret Book of John is 858 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,519 a story that is meant to serve as an addition to the Gospel of John 859 00:59:53,599 --> 01:00:00,760 somehow. Within within Revelations is a sequel. Yeah, specifically a prequel to 860 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:06,760 Revelations. Yeah. Yeah. In terms of plot, it sets the stage, 861 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,239 and in terms of theology, it provides a context for understanding John's gospel 862 01:00:09,239 --> 01:00:12,840 through a gnostic lens. Listen, maybe he took a couple of years off. 863 01:00:13,159 --> 01:00:15,199 I had to shake the rust off is what he produced. He's like, 864 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,840 nah, and scrapped it. He was like, it is a secret 865 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,800 for a reason. You weren't supposed to open that diet wrong combination of drugs. 866 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:29,840 Yeah, that manuscript was It's like, uh, what was the who 867 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,920 wrote to kill a mockingbird? Harperly? Harperly. She had left that sequel 868 01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:36,559 in the desk. She didn't want it out. She didn't want it out, 869 01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:38,719 But then she had someone what is the dementia adult that her like, 870 01:00:39,079 --> 01:00:43,719 family, what is to do? Go count of something. It's like the 871 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,400 name's not even good, the watch Tower thing, or go kind of watch 872 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:51,800 man like it's something. Yeah, that's it, that's it up. And 873 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,800 then she just had a fucking sick set a watchman set a watch man That's 874 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,559 how I read that, dude. Well, the Denver Post called it brilliant. 875 01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:02,599 What are you gonna as a noted Denver hater on this? She can't 876 01:01:02,639 --> 01:01:07,679 really hate on Harperly post death Right, but I can't. It's not her 877 01:01:07,719 --> 01:01:12,800 fault she didn't want it out. But also that pitch road for fifty years 878 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,960 on one piece of literacy, that's dope. Do you know? That's the 879 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,719 best thing you could possibly do? But she forced the entire country to read 880 01:01:19,719 --> 01:01:23,119 it. I know. Harper Lee is government subsidized. Harper Lee was also 881 01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:28,559 given a gift, I believe. I believe it's f Scott Fitzgerald gave her 882 01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:30,320 money for a year and just like write the book. No, no, 883 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:31,599 it's her friends or her friends. It was just her friends. I thought 884 01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:35,840 it was a famous Harper Lee has been her whole life being subsidize welfare queen. 885 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:40,360 Oh you know who else was way more ironic iron rand she died in 886 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:47,239 section eight sounds dope. Yeah, it's like writes an entire thesis on how 887 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:51,960 the people that create well through the most important people and the people that work 888 01:01:52,039 --> 01:01:54,679 for them are peasants. Yeah, and then dies a peasant. She was 889 01:01:54,719 --> 01:01:59,039 a grifter, is what you're saying. Yeah, perfect, yeah, amazing, 890 01:01:59,119 --> 01:02:01,400 Right. At Was Shrugged is the dumbest fucking book I've ever read. 891 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:07,000 That's not good. It's there's a lot. There are a lot of books 892 01:02:06,079 --> 01:02:09,079 that I'd never read the fountain Head. I read At Was Shrugged. There 893 01:02:09,079 --> 01:02:13,920 are a lot of books that are of across the political spectrum where if you 894 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,119 tell me that that book you write, you off the person off. Yeah, 895 01:02:16,159 --> 01:02:20,079 oh yeah. Yeah. Like if if someone mentions a book, they're 896 01:02:20,079 --> 01:02:24,000 like that, but I'm like, bye, So I don't read. I 897 01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:29,800 know you're better off there. I will say this, sometimes you're better off 898 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,599 not reading. I know someone, especially if you write I want to do 899 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,199 on the Jacksone's style. You know. I don't think it was Katie, 900 01:02:37,239 --> 01:02:39,519 but it might have been. It's someone I know, one of their first 901 01:02:39,559 --> 01:02:43,880 bosses. Every Christmas would have a Christmas party at their house and make them 902 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:49,440 watch the fountain Head movie. How insane is that? That is like the 903 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:53,280 most scrooge thing you can do. That's horrifying, It's kind of hilarious. 904 01:02:53,840 --> 01:03:00,760 It's for someone that's not there and hearing that I was cackling. It's just 905 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:06,039 like what And it's like just remember you're never sit down and be quiet and 906 01:03:06,079 --> 01:03:08,320 watch it, I think, And he would like run point for point over 907 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,519 it like this is one. I'd rather work for a company that describes himself 908 01:03:12,599 --> 01:03:15,440 as a family. I also disagree with that. No, it's terrible, 909 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,440 but I'm saying, if you gave me the two options, oh yeah for 910 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:22,239 sure. So yeah. The Creation myth was also a story of central importance 911 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,639 to the Gnostics. As a standalone tale and its own right abound the Gnostic 912 01:03:25,679 --> 01:03:30,320 communities gather and illustrated some of the key concepts in the Gnostic world's use, 913 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,679 such as nosis and Gnostic duality, which is the Gnostic duality thing again is 914 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,239 we are very separate from true divinity. We don't even touch it. Really, 915 01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:42,239 it's just barely dormant in us. Yeah, and illuminating yourself is the 916 01:03:42,239 --> 01:03:45,719 only way to get there. One thing of note for some of you that 917 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:50,320 may have been listening closely is the incredible similarities in the cosmic hierarchical structure of 918 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,840 Gnosticism to the way the universe works according to scientology. I didn't know that 919 01:03:55,079 --> 01:03:58,599 you didn't think about it the evil Arkons. Oh, I guess I didn't 920 01:03:58,599 --> 01:04:00,960 specify this Arkons by themselves to you. Yeah, you didn't say that. 921 01:04:01,039 --> 01:04:05,159 I forgot that would have immediately been like, oh Theetan's right, My bad, 922 01:04:05,239 --> 01:04:08,280 I left that out. But yes, Arkhon's buying themselves to you, 923 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,000 and they buying themselves to the days they rule over us. They enjoy sucking 924 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:17,559 the energy out of us. Basically, cowboy Hubbard just rip this almost a 925 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:23,840 thousand percent. When did he write Dianetics because it would have only been about 926 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,159 five to ten years after all the Gnostics stuff was really discovered, right, 927 01:04:27,199 --> 01:04:30,400 I think it was in the late fifties or early sixties, so it's a 928 01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:38,719 perfect I'm just wondering if he if it wasn't sort of just accidental nineteen fifty, 929 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,280 it would have been five years later. No Hubbard, No, he 930 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,880 got his hands on it. Hubbard pulling. Okay, Well, I'm just 931 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,159 saying, you know, like we already talked about, we're not a creative 932 01:04:46,199 --> 01:04:50,079 species. No Hubbard did it on purpose. Okay, I'm just saying I'm 933 01:04:50,119 --> 01:04:53,280 not trying to give the benefit of the doubt to el Ron Hubbard. I'm 934 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,559 more sounds like you are I'm more just well, I don't care if I 935 01:04:55,599 --> 01:05:02,199 do it, don't To be honest, scientologists look any mass assistant and he 936 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:08,920 is innocent of not raping people. That's a roundabout way to say he's guilty 937 01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:15,599 of Yeah. So nine, Scientology nastism have similarities and differences. Is different. 938 01:05:15,679 --> 01:05:17,280 Wow, get into the end here. The similarities, though, are 939 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,320 both Gnostissism and scientology include the belief that humans are spiritual being strapped in a 940 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,840 material body. Both religions also believe in the existence of a higher power, 941 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:30,039 divine force that we are separated from. Both religions also have a strong emphasis 942 01:05:30,039 --> 01:05:36,880 on personal spiritual development enlightenment. All Hubbard did was teck it out. Yeah. 943 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:41,519 He put science fiction on top of gnosticism, which, by the way, 944 01:05:41,639 --> 01:05:45,039 is just everything we ever do. It's like, yeah, imagine like 945 01:05:45,079 --> 01:05:48,840 that dumb cosmic play. Let's make it a space opera. It's it's every 946 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,840 story ever. Yeah, I mean, it's what is a fuck? What 947 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,599 is it called? It's like an elevator pitch or something like that, where 948 01:05:55,599 --> 01:06:00,280 it's like, think about it, it's just like Rush fleets Barbie. Yeah. 949 01:06:00,599 --> 01:06:06,960 John Wick put an ancient Egypt perfect sold I will forever wonder what the 950 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:12,599 elevator pitch was for Human Centipede. Al Right, like, yeah, one 951 01:06:12,639 --> 01:06:15,360 guy, right, I don't think he had to pitch it to anyone other 952 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,280 than investors. Right, that's still a pitch, I know. But he's 953 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:25,800 just like this movie's I'm gonna make a movie that's so insane that it'll get 954 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,599 like viewed enough that you'll make your money back. Okay, Right, so 955 01:06:29,679 --> 01:06:32,000 he was a documentary. I thought he just did it right. Yeah, 956 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,679 I found a couple of people said their mouths to assholes, So okay, 957 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:41,679 the rise of people started, uh like openly talking about eating ass shortly after 958 01:06:41,719 --> 01:06:46,400 that film. That's not a joke like that is that those are almost concurrent. 959 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,800 You're connecting dots. Yeah. I actually meant to say the pitch for 960 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:56,039 Human Centipede two? All right, we had three people soon asked him out 961 01:06:56,039 --> 01:07:00,719 to ask them mouth right? All right, hear me out seven seven people? 962 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,360 We double it an add one, we triple it or no, yeah, 963 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:09,559 we double it out with seven right. Uh but yeah, No, 964 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,519 the thing that el Ron Hubbard did was like, instead of like people finding 965 01:07:12,519 --> 01:07:16,159 a personal way to be enlightened, what if we sold them courses? What 966 01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:20,000 if we made this a business, but if we griffed it. So that's 967 01:07:20,039 --> 01:07:24,679 the big difference. But all in all, you got the creation myth. 968 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:29,280 You got all your answers. What'd you learn today? Not enough about Seth? 969 01:07:30,039 --> 01:07:32,800 Well, Seth wasn't a main player, literally said he was. Well, 970 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,079 he was one of the few divine humans. Yes, he was the 971 01:07:35,119 --> 01:07:40,639 first divine offspring of divine humans. And all I learned is someone's gonna retcon 972 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:44,400 this onto simulation. Oh, it already has been. It already has been. 973 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:49,280 Okay, So the a big community in Reddit fringe community is the I 974 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:55,440 believe it's called escaping the Matrix. Yeah it is. We are stuck here 975 01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:00,880 by we have been put here into a simulation of suffering by a demi urge, 976 01:08:00,079 --> 01:08:03,920 same thing that they tricked. I talked about this on the what is 977 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:10,199 it called the Patreon where reincarnation is a trick, it's a reincarnation trap. 978 01:08:10,199 --> 01:08:14,119 We're a crazing planet and like all the Arcons, the light you see it's 979 01:08:14,119 --> 01:08:16,079 seem like shining flashlights, like hey, come over here, and they well, 980 01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:19,439 Jake, I learned heaven is a place on Earth that's the opposite of 981 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:26,079 what you should have learned literally the how did you I believe this bullshit? 982 01:08:27,279 --> 01:08:30,000 So you just don't believe anything, he says. Dan actually brings up a 983 01:08:30,039 --> 01:08:38,920 great point, which I'm happy you dead. The biggest conflict dastick ideology is 984 01:08:39,319 --> 01:08:42,359 well, if we came up with this and we're on earth, oh we 985 01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:44,800 know this is true. What if it's just another trick to make us not 986 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:50,720 believe the truth? Oh? And it immediately collapsed in imploded one. Boys, 987 01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:56,000 I'm the enlightened one because you don't believe and you do believe at the 988 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,720 same time. But we are not in a pessimistic way. I'm not dumb. 989 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,920 Yeah, I say all as we already learned pessimists or morons, But 990 01:09:02,119 --> 01:09:04,520 I'm not pessimistic. I'm saying heaven is a place on Earth, and it's 991 01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:09,239 gonna be an afterlife person. When he dies anything like do you believe, 992 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,960 He's gonna be like do you believe or do you not? He's gonna be 993 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,119 like yes, like right answer, brother, Yeah, get it. It's 994 01:09:15,159 --> 01:09:18,680 the dude from Monty Python and the guy in the Bridge. He just launches 995 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:24,920 and he eats himself off. Yeah exactly. Yeah, that's it. Like, 996 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:28,520 so you learned heaven is a place on earth. Somehow you learned what 997 01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,840 I forgot what you just said. It's this is gonna get retconned onto simulation 998 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:41,039 theory. So you were right, who's Hitler? I guess the you know, 999 01:09:41,119 --> 01:09:45,560 I'm torn between Sophia and her terrible clone, not clone, but like 1000 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:51,520 her terrible genetic experiment. Yeah, it would be funny if there was like 1001 01:09:53,520 --> 01:10:00,439 a reality where, uh, I don't know, just someone had kids, 1002 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,159 like a coder had kids, but he had like, you know, kid 1003 01:10:02,279 --> 01:10:05,479 kids, and then one of those kids wanted to be a coder like him, 1004 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,760 and they were terrible at it and created terrible code and tried to hide 1005 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:15,359 it within that terrible code created I don't even know, somehow like better code. 1006 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,159 But steely, you know, it's like, yeah, it's it's hard 1007 01:10:17,159 --> 01:10:20,520 to follow the line. I know, it's shitty. It's bad writing. 1008 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:27,680 Yeah, it's like Hitler is the writer John the apostles in this. You 1009 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,399 don't they'd all hit Okay, one of them don't all hit there? You 1010 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,880 can't. Should you expect them too? Yeah, you can't write revelations every 1011 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:41,079 time. No, but it tracks that it's his because like snake Lion sounds 1012 01:10:41,079 --> 01:10:45,760 a lot like eyeball angels. You know Hitler today is ran that's fair field. 1013 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,119 I ran one. We talked about her, not left field. Yeah, 1014 01:10:49,159 --> 01:10:51,439 we did just talk about but it was an out of left field. 1015 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:57,399 Oh like reference and inclusion doesn't matter. In the episode the funny thing in 1016 01:10:57,399 --> 01:11:04,279 the tattoo community the episode now so Hitler's myler? Uh so Dan, I 1017 01:11:04,279 --> 01:11:08,000 thought you would think this is funny. So one of the like of people 1018 01:11:08,039 --> 01:11:12,479 that are considered that consider themselves nastics, a lot of them get the snake 1019 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,600 lion tattoo. Sure, and that is one of the biggest points of contention 1020 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,399 within the nastic community on whether or not you should get that tattoo, because 1021 01:11:18,399 --> 01:11:21,760 they're like, why would you get you just like, can you imagine, 1022 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:28,159 like you're fucking in the rectory with the priest, You're both taking off your 1023 01:11:28,159 --> 01:11:30,680 clothes and he's got a devil tattoo across his chest. It's like, wait 1024 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,800 a minute, while that's a huge red flag because it's a cool thing to 1025 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:38,560 talk about. That's a huge argument is that it allows me. It allows 1026 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,960 me to talk about nastissism and illuminate others. And it's like hold on, 1027 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,800 though, you just put on yourself I'll say this right, and the thing 1028 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,560 that entraps you in hell, if we hit five thousand patrons by the end 1029 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:53,560 of the December, I'll get that tattooed on my body. How about this 1030 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,119 one, I'll get whatever. It's not a bad snake. You already have 1031 01:11:57,239 --> 01:12:00,479 a zeppelin. It is not a bad tattoo, though all the things you 1032 01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,239 can get. I'm just saying it's a good zep. I'm just saying you 1033 01:12:02,279 --> 01:12:05,640 have this happening in a lighthouse. That's not there's a theme to it. 1034 01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:12,039 You'll there's not. We're going nineteen twenty steam steampunk. You can go one 1035 01:12:12,119 --> 01:12:16,079 hundred and twenties. Why And I'm gonna get probably like a some some carnival 1036 01:12:16,159 --> 01:12:18,920 freaks, some boardwalk stuff. You need some freaks on your body, that's 1037 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:24,479 for sure. It's gonna eventually. Look all it's all gonna come together. 1038 01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:29,319 You should get Timothy Dexter's punctuation page on your back. Five thousand patrons by 1039 01:12:29,359 --> 01:12:32,560 the end of December. Yeah, oh, I'll get a tattooed on my 1040 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:36,079 back. If we have five thousand patrons by the end of December, I'll 1041 01:12:36,079 --> 01:12:40,319 get on my ass, you said back, So yeah, plenty of meat 1042 01:12:40,359 --> 01:12:42,640 back there. You don't want match, no, no no. The snake 1043 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:47,399 goes down to your asshole, and the lion's head is your your little balloon 1044 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:51,640 not Yeah, it's the mouth, yeah yeah, and it spews out shitty 1045 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:56,159 creation. Yeah. Actually makes a lot of sense. It does well. 1046 01:12:57,079 --> 01:12:59,920 Or Danner jests from Rob and Rob Fox, I hope you enjoyed this in 1047 01:13:00,079 --> 01:13:02,439 saying story, my name's Jake Goldman.
