WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:30.480
Weird things happened in the Weird Weird
Weird Welcome Too. Let's just said,

2
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.359
so you know who we are,
you know what let me I wanted to

3
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.000
show this. I can't. Yeah, I can't remember who sent this,

4
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.439
but someone. I'm gonna find it
before the end of the episode. Hopefully

5
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.200
someone sent us these dope three D
printed Medatrons cubes. We do have a

6
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.799
po box. Put your hand behind
it so it focuses on. Yeah.

7
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.359
Yeah, there're these little three D
printed Medatrons cubes. Very cool. I

8
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.520
love it. I had literally been
thinking in my head like man, I

9
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.920
want a three D Menotrons cube,
and then boom, it was sent to

10
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.640
us. Yeah, they are so
cool. It was a complete prize that

11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.359
came out of nowhere. I just
showed up today and they were like,

12
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.799
hey, here's your Metatron's cube.
It's like, huh, I've been sitting

13
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.760
here twiddling with it for like the
past thirty minutes. It's pretty to look

14
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.560
at. It's beautiful. I love
it. So whoever sent this to us,

15
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.840
thank you so much. I'm gonna
find it in Instagram DMS. And

16
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.319
then another thing. Alex and I
did full disclosure the other night and we

17
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.359
were talking about this and we were
like, we should say this on the

18
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:30.799
main show, but shout out to
Blake and Daniel in the discord aka Blacke

19
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.439
and Captain Skippy. They have,
of their own volition, created a clan

20
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.920
on Rocket League. Bledsoe said so
podcast. They're both like Diamond ranked,

21
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.920
right, and they're going out there. They're like whipping people's butts on Rocket

22
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.599
League with the clan. Bledso said
so podcast, and they're like pitching the

23
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.400
show to people and actually like getting
them to listen to the show. I

24
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.640
thought that was so cool. We
had to shout that out. Yeah,

25
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.760
I only briefly heard about that.
I've been very busy of late and I

26
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.200
just briefly saw a little thing about
it, and like, I thought it's

27
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.239
so funny. So they just did. They just started doing that. Yeah,

28
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.400
they were like, oh, shoot, you play Rocket League. Yeah,

29
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.439
my clan's old. He's like,
my clan's old too, let's make

30
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.560
a new one. Letso said so
podcast. Ryan. And for the people

31
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.280

Tier the River and it's uh, it's

33
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.719
me. And then Alex obviously they
were producing, and we just have conversations

34
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.879
typically about like what's on my mind
or whatever I'm into at the moment,

35
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.000
and just kind of really venting some
stuff out and being super candid, and

36
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.360
we really have a good time with
it. We just did episode forty who

37
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.319
almost a year. That's amazing,
pretty wild and and you know, before

38

show patreon dot com slash bled show, it is a great way to support

41
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.719
the show. Yeah. Absolutely,
Well we're talking about today, fellers.

42
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:07.520
We are going to talk about nor
Viking. I was trying to do the

43
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.759
God of War got your boat?
I was gonna say, is that is

44
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.680
that where that comes from? Yeah? What really is that? Where what

45
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.360
comes from? No? No,
no, no, no no, no,

46
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.759
no no no. I was singing
the thing from God of War Ragnarok,

47
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.400
which, by the way, that's
I don't know. Like, obviously

48
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.680
y'all can see if you can see
my tattoo, my favorite game is Kingdom

49
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.000
Hearts. But when that got a
war game came out in twenty eighteen,

50
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.520
bro, it challenged everything I thought
I knew about video games. That that

51
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.639
that game. That game put me
in a different headspace. I've been thinking

52
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.280
different after after that. It's got
me thinking different. Did it go a

53
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.039
Game of the Year? It did? Yes? Uh, it won Game

54
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.680
of the Year. And I don't
remember if the second one one game of

55
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.000
the year. No, No,
because it came out the same year as

56
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.319
elden Ring. I think yea,
which is like it was out of all

57
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.599
hale, all hale. Yeah,
first one was definitely game of the year.

58
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.000
Yeah, and like you can't beat
elden Ring. That game is unbeatable.

59
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:15.000
But I mean they're they're potentially in
terms of every aspect of a game.

60
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.360
The twenty eighteen God of War and
then God of War Ragnarok are like

61
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:26.040
they're right next to Kingdom Hearts for
my favorite game of all time. The

62
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:32.639
thing that's so awesome about God of
War as a series is that it's so

63
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:38.720
deeply entwined with mythology. Uh.
And I know this is a little tangent,

64
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.600
but we are talking about Norse mythology
today. Uh. The the original

65
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.480
God of War games are Greek mythology. It's about like a Spartan named Crados.

66
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.120
It's you know, he gets betrayed
by the god Aris and he like

67
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:56.439
basically kills the entire Greek pantheon to
get revenge because aries, dude, this

68
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.879
is crazy. Alex. You probably, I guess you probably don't know this

69
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:04.639
Ari, god of War, tricks
Credos into killing his own wife and daughter,

70
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:12.480
and that's like kind of how the
plot of the original games start.

71
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:19.920
And then the rest of the original
games are just you playing as Credos brutally

72
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.759
murdering the entire Greek pantheon of gods
to get revenge. It's sick. It

73
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.800
is so good. I remember when
the first one came out in two thousand

74
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.680
and five, I was like twelve
and played it on the PS two and

75
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.560
it was just like, oh my
god, Like, first of all,

76
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.079
twelve year old shiit be playing that? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah for

77
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.720
sure. But yeah, it was
definitely like a life changing, like you

78
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.879
know, it's just an amazing experience. And then you know what it became

79
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.079
over time into the North stuff.
Yeah, that's another cool thing. Like

80
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.160
I learned a lot about Greek mythology
from playing those original games. Yep.

81
00:05:54.279 --> 00:06:00.120
And then basically the original trilogy ends
with you obviously murder your father Zeus,

82
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.240
and then the world floods and all
this stuff happens, and next thing you

83
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:10.199
know, it was like, I
don't know, probably ten or twelve years

84
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.399
later they made the next game,
Boom Crados pops up in the Norse.

85
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.720
He's like in Scandinavia and so it's
the Norse pantheon and he's just trying to

86
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.040
like stay reclusive. I like how
this is turning into a God of War

87
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.879
episode. There was a couple of
other Norse pop culture things that I wanted

88
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.720
to talk about. Yeah, yeah, but then, yeah, you play

89
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.600
through that game and it teaches you
a ton about Norse mythology as well.

90
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.759
There were plenty of things that I
learned that I didn't know before, like

91
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:46.439
Balder. Like about Balder, I
didn't know that, Like Ragnarok starts because

92
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.959
Balder is killed, I didn't.
I didn't know that We're gonna go in

93
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.600
to make sense. That's like the
plot of the game, exactly what you

94
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.879
killed Balder in the that's the first
one, and then Boom starts. The

95
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.079
next game is Ragnarok. Yeah,
yeah, I love that. When you

96
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.920
kill Balder in the first game,
immediately the first thing that happens is a

97
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.600
snowflake hits his cheek immediately, like
as soon as you land the killing blow,

98
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.639
you see a snowflake and it falls
on it's fimble winter. Its deep,

99
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.199
Yeah, it is, it's so
deep. Okay. So Norse mythology,

100
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.759
Norse mythology is we were talking about
it earlier. It's it's unique.

101
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:28.600
It's it's particularly unique when it comes
to mythology. It was like pretty much

102
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.800
written by like one guy for the
most partology. Well, the eddas like

103
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.439
the you know, so let's let's
start with a little bit of the early

104
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.079
history, which I think you have
some history stuff, not really history,

105
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.519
more so like mythological. So check
it out. The Norse mythology. The

106
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:55.000
the roots of it come from this
like dual document, this book containing to

107
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:00.199
it was like a book containing two
books known as the Edda or the Eta,

108
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:11.279
the two books or the medieval Icelandic
literary works. They're the poetic or

109
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.519
sorry, yeah, the poetic Eta
and the pros Da, which this is

110
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:28.160
really interesting ida like etymologically it's it
could mean either poetic art, but it

111
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.960
also equally translates to great grandmother.
What that's weird. Yeah, it's just

112
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.720
like a weird little tidbit, but
the Ida was written by an Icelandic scholar

113
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.919
and historian Snorri Sterlison around the year
twelve twenty. Did you say snory,

114
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.879
Yeah, man, I guarantee you
he was saw on logs, just saw

115
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.360
on logs. He was saw on
logs. He was probably like rolling offs

116
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.600
rooms or like you know what I'm
saying. Yeah, because they have all

117
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.759
those Icelandic stories. Uh what's that? Uh Laplin? Yeah, yeah,

118
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.600
they had them. They definitely had
that. He was probably popping them and

119
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.559
stawing some logs. He was snoring
some Starlason's. Wait a minute, is

120
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:24.279
this the same region and mushroom where
the Christmas originated? I mean yeah,

121
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.919
that that's lap Laplin Finland, Right, it's all Scandinavia. I don't know.

122
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:37.039
I feel like I remember the the
shamanistic Santa Claus. My sister's been

123
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.000
to the real place, Laplin.
We're all just like dumb Americans. It

124
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.240
is it is. It's in Scandinavia. Don't don't pigeonhole me there. You're

125
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.279
just mad because I'm thinking different.
I'm seeing things different now. Really,

126
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.440
it sounds like Snorri Sterlinson was definitely
seeing things different. But yeah, it's

127
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.519
uh, the survives in four known
manuscripts and three fragments. You know,

128
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.720
this stuff is so old. They
find it and they piece it together and

129
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:09.159
they translate it ancient. Yeah,
it's super agent. And then so they

130
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.200
wrote everything down that they collected again
around the year thirteen hundred, so it

131
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:20.240
was like found collected around one hundred
years after that. So basically, unlike

132
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.320
a lot of other mythology, this
is like someone who claimed to be kind

133
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:33.639
of downloading this information from the realm
of Valhalla, which is like they're sort

134
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.799
of like they're heaven. You know, in Norse mythology, there are different

135
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.320
there are multiple different afterlifs, which
we see in other mythologies. We see

136
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.000
that in Greek mythology. You know, it's not just like heaven Hell.

137
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.039
It's there's multiple, right, but
kind of the like the ultimate afterlife,

138
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:01.080
if you will, in Norse mythology
is Valhalla. Right, it's like the

139
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.080
hall where you celebrate with the gods
for all eternity. Right. Yeah,

140
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.360
yeah, it died in battle exactly. You only according to this like it

141
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.320
wasn't even really a religion among amongst
the vikings. It was like it's like

142
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.039
low key. It was more culty. Yeah, they didn't even view it

143
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.679
as a religion, Like it was
so deep that it was just a part

144
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.080
of their lives. It wasn't something
they had to try to do or commit

145
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.639
to or whatever. If you were
like born in this time and born into

146
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.159
one of these Viking tribes or whatever, it was just that's just what you

147
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.799
did. You you you wanted to
die in battle so that you would pass

148
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.600
on to Valhalla. It's messed up
because they believe like the only way to

149
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.919
get the valhalla is literally dying in
battle. And like if you died of

150
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.600
like being sick or being elderly,
you didn't go to Valhalla. No,

151
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.639
no, no, only in battle. It was considered like like dishonorable.

152
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.759
Yeah, like the most shame if
you don't die in battle. To the

153
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.240
point to where like if people were
elderly or they were sick, it was

154
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.360
very common for them to be like
they would even go to some of their

155
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.639
friends or some of like the the
able warriors of the tribe and be like

156
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.240
fight me, kill me, like
like, let's I want to die in

157
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.000
battle, so like I want a
chance to go to Valhalla and be with

158
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.799
my my forefathers. That's so cool, and that's pretty I think it really,

159
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.639
I mean it, it is pretty
cool. I mean it's valiant,

160
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.039
you know, it's it's dope.
But one of the things about Valhalla,

161
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.759
which because you hear that, you're
like, okay, so why is that

162
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.919
the ultimate heaven if it's just like
you die in battle you get to go

163
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:52.240
to a big hall with all your
forefathers. Well, this is a very

164
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:58.039
interesting thing about Norse mythology which connects
to Christianity, which is that there is,

165
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:05.120
uh, there is a thing in
Norse mythology known as Eden's orchard.

166
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.559
Okay, like the golden apple,
Yes, Ethan is like how it's from

167
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:18.879
Ethan's apple, Ethan's orchard, Ethen's
tree. Uh. So very similarly to

168
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:26.879
Christian like doctrine, whatever you want
to call it the Christian religion. Eden

169
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.720
is the goddess of youth, She's
the wife of Braggy, She's the goddess

170
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.759
of or no Broggi is the god
of poetry. Eden guards the golden apples

171
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.840
in Eden's orchard. These apples were
said to give eternal youth and vigor to

172
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.840
the gods. So, according to
Norse mythology, the reason that these gods

173
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.919
were so powerful and immortal was because
of these golden apples that came from Eden's

174
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.600
orchard. That's similar to Greek mythology
the golden blood ecor the apples. Yes,

175
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.240
yes, absolutely, yeah, I
mean this is something that I wanted

176
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.600
to touch on a little bit up
front, is like, why are we

177
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.240
talking about mythology? Right? Yeah, why is it important to talk about

178
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.960
mythology? Well, one of the
things that we do on this show,

179
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:20.559
and a lot of like like theosophy
for instance, that's that's another thing that

180
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.879
you look at the intersection, You
look at the things that different religions or

181
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.000
mythologies or whatever have in common.
And yeah, I mean you'll find so

182
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:37.120
many similarities that Norse myth has similarities
to pretty much every other major religion.

183
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.000
Like we're going to talk about some
similarities to Hinduism. It reminds me of

184
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.600
oh, in what way thee the
tree of life? But all the realms

185
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.279
are connected by this tree, and
ye travel through the tree to reach the

186
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.320
other dimensions. But it's metaphorical.
Yeah, it's like there's always some trees.

187
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.879
Yeah, there's always trees. Yeah, the Tree of Knowledge in the

188
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.799
in the Bible, yeah, in
the Garden of Eden and the Fruit from

189
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:07.240
the t It's so we're jumping,
like if you jump to uh. In

190
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.720
Norse mythology, there is a at
the end, there's a prophecy that at

191
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:18.879
the end of time there is this
cataclysmic apocalypse event known as Ragnarok. Right,

192
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.960
It's like where everything is destroyed and
blah blah blah, and that's all

193
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.200
you really know. If you don't
look deep into this stuff, you're just

194
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.720
like, oh, everything is just
blown up and everything's destroyed. Well,

195
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:37.159
that's not really the end of it. It's more mystical than that. Ragnarok

196
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.360
isn't the end. It's a beginning
of a new realm, which is like

197
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.919
Hindu cosmology, where you have the
Yugas cycles spanning many thousands of years,

198
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.960
and it's these eternal cycles of the
universe creating and then destroying itself and then

199
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.840
creating again, like the dance,
the eternal Dance of Shiva, Creator and

200
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:07.399
the Destroyer exactly. And it's low
key like some low key it's it's low

201
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:14.080
key like some as above so below
reincarnation type shit. It's like if we

202
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.960
reincarnate on this little level, then
on all the higher levels. Uh,

203
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.679
there's reincarnation as well. But the
reason I bring all this up right now

204
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:29.320
is in relation to Eden's Orchard.
Eden's orchard is thought to be, according

205
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.480
to these prophecies and such, one
of the only things that survives Ragnarok.

206
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:41.279
Oh wow. And it's also thought
now this is these things like post Ragnarok

207
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:47.399
type things. These are the things
that are like pieced together by historians like

208
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.360
deep reading the different texts and corroborating
this exactly. Like you won't just pick

209
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.440
up the Eata and see this.
It's like you look at other works by

210
00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:00.840
Snorri Sturluson. You piece together things
from like a real accounts of Scandinavia at

211
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:10.079
the time, whatever has survived through
history. They believe that certain gods will

212
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.839
survive. I'll talk about that and
at length later, but that Eden's tree

213
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:22.720
in Eden's Orchard would also survive,
and that like whoever were the survivors among

214
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.279
the gods, among the valkyrie,
among all these different orders of these deities,

215
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:33.279
they would go there and start anew
that they would start from Eden's Orchard,

216
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.880
and they would start a new Wow. Which is like kind of crazy

217
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.319
because there's this I don't know if
you've I don't know if you've heard about

218
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.400
this. We're gonna talk a little
bit about it today. But there's this

219
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:52.200
like there are theory swirling around that
the Bible is post apocalyptic Norse mythology.

220
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:59.119
Wait a minute, so are you
are you suggesting that? Like maybe let

221
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.680
me wrap my brain around. So
you're saying that the Bible is like the

222
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.400
next cycle or what do you say? There are a lot of people that

223
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:11.599
like have pieced together some compelling theories
that, yeah, that that that could

224
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.680
that that could be like there was
a cycle before it's an older way and

225
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.920
that essentially the cycle prior to the
Bible was Norse mythology. Interesting, So

226
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.319
get this, Well, I guess
we'll go ahead and get into that specific

227
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.599
weirdness because it's weird. I've never
heard that. Yeah, Okay, let's

228
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.480
let's just let's just start there.
I wasn't gonna start there because it is

229
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.079
pretty like fringe and out there.
I like fringe. Let's let's just start

230
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.440
there, all right? So,
uh, the Christianity angle. I went

231
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.599
a little deep on this and shout
out to this guy on TikTok he's awesome,

232
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.480
Ragnarok Johnson. Yeah, he he
like does a lot of these where

233
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.559
he compiles uh this stuff and like
it's very it's very interesting and it's good

234
00:18:53.599 --> 00:19:02.319
content. All Right, we talked
about we mentioned Balder, Balder among the

235
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:08.000
the Norse pantheon of gods, Balder
was the god of light. Balder was

236
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.839
known as like this, he was
like this, like he was he was

237
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:18.200
like innocent. He wasn't he wasn't
like a great warrior. He wasn't you

238
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.079
know, he wasn't jealous like many
of the gods. He didn't really want

239
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.079
very many things. He was just
he was just like a peaceful god of

240
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:32.960
light. He's in fact, he
is known as the most innocent and peaceful

241
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:40.359
god amongst the acer, which the
Acier are the highest rank of gods amongst

242
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.079
the It's like odin thor Loki.
And then you had the van Air gods,

243
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.319
which were like the older gods I
guess like Freya, Yeah, the

244
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.359
van Ear. Then you have the
Jotnar, which would be equivalent to like

245
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.640
the Titans of Greek mythology, the
giants. The giants exactly, they're like

246
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:02.519
they're they're definitely god like like that, you know, but that they're not

247
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.559
they're not considered like they're not out
on the level of the ace here.

248
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.400
So as a part of Ragnarok,
it's prophesied that Balder will be killed and

249
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.160
as a result, Ragnarok will begin
to unfold. That's the whole like crux

250
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.599
of Ragnarok, Balder has to die. Also included in the prophecy is that

251
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:25.480
all of the gods will be killed, the realms will die and be born

252
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:33.400
anew as one peaceful realm, and
that Balder will be resurrected as the one

253
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:41.440
true god of gods and would bring
forth wait, would bring forth a single

254
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:51.200
man and woman named Ash and Elm
like trees because it's believable Ash. Yeah.

255
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.200
But also they believe the Igrasill was
an ash tree, right, and

256
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:59.799
they would be reborn to lead the
world, the new world in peace.

257
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.200
Wow, let's unpack that a little
bit. I think it's also important to

258
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:15.960
note exactly like how popular Norse mythology
has breached into pop culture, Like you

259
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.759
know, it's it started with Lord
of the Rings, Lord of the Like.

260
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.400
I had to take this class in
college. It was called Lewis and

261
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.480
Tolkien Religious Themes of Lewis and Tolkien, and we had to read like the

262
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.279
Narnia books. Some you know,
watch documentaries about Tolkien and when you get

263
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:34.720
into his earlier writings, he was
sure like he was a Catholic, and

264
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.880
a lot of the themes were based
on Catholicism, but all the lore and

265
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:42.640
the creatures in the mythology was all
based on Norse myth you know, I

266
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.559
know I just changed the subject there, but I wanted to put that into

267
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.960
people's minds. You bring Lord of
the Rings. Yeah, like Lord of

268
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.839
the Rings. Aside from like the
Catholic Christian themes, all the lore,

269
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.039
the elves, the dragons, that
all this stuff, the dwarves, that's

270
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.480
Norse Smith. It's all from Norse
Smith. Yeah, and then you have

271
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:07.359
stuff today, you know, Thor
Ragnarok's God like, it's it's becoming mainstream

272
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.240
now, even Dude Vikings, the
show Vikings such a six show by the

273
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.640
way that yeh is And I wanted
to use this as an opportunity to say

274
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.559
that. In our Discord Server,
we have been it's pretty much near the

275
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.960
end now we're going to do a
season two, but we've been playing Valheim,

276
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.160
which is you know, a video
game based about like North Smith.

277
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.440
Then it's very cool. But yeah, I wanted to talk about the pop

278
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.759
culture angle there, like it's,
oh yeah, it's everywhere, it's everywhere.

279
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:36.519
It's it's become synonymous, like and
I don't I don't think it was

280
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:41.640
necessarily always like that. Like I
feel like Greek mythology is kind of like

281
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.039
the one that most people know,
right, and so it's kind of the

282
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.599
one that you see the most and
you see the inspiration from the most.

283
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:53.680
But I mean, yeah, but
prior to recent years, it was like

284
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.079
you have Lord of the Rings,
which came out in the nineteen forties,

285
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.319
the Hobbit did, and then the
sixth these was the Lord of the Rings.

286
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.480
Uh, and then like in the
eighties you had four the comic.

287
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.519
Yeah, that was it. But
then for some reason in the past like

288
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.039
ten or twenty years, there's all
kinds of other stuff coming out about it's

289
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.880
all like Norse mythology. This is
an explosion of norsemith. I think it's

290
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.039
just as important. I mean,
I think I think all all myth systems,

291
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:29.440
all mythologies are kind of on equal
footing, and they're interesting, they're

292
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.640
worth exploring, they're worth dissecting and
talking about. Yeah, back to what

293
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.119
you were saying, though, that's
completely wild. I didn't know that.

294
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.880
I knew that, like the Ragnarok
myth was more of a metaphor of like

295
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.000
the great cosmic scale of the universe
being on a cycle of death and rebirth.

296
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.400
Like for example, one of my
favorite symbols in all of norths myth

297
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.920
the Ora Boris. Uh, there's
this there's I don't know, is he

298
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.799
a jotan or what is your Yeah, so there's this. There's this god

299
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.480
like being a giant Yorman gander who
is known as the world serpent. And

300
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.880
if you've ever seen the symbol of
people are like, oh, it's an

301
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.920
evil symbol. No, it's not. It has a meaning. It's the

302
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.960
serpent going all the way around the
world and eating its tail. I think

303
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.119
that's on the the the Kansas album. Oh yeah, pretty sure, it's

304
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.920
on a Kansas album. It's either
Kansas or Boston. I always I think

305
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.799
it's Kansas. Boston's the UFOs.
Yeah, but anyway, it's a very

306
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:29.640
popular esoteric symbol. It's the Ora
Boris, and it represents the belief that

307
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.960
the world serpent Yorman Gander, was
wrapped all the way around the world and

308
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.559
he would eat his tail. But
it's metaphorical. It's about the continual cycle

309
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.319
of death and rebirth, even of
the very cosmos, you know, which

310
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.319
is what Ragnarrock symbolizes. But I
didn't know it goes so far as to

311
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.200
say like the creation of of of
a new it's like Garden of Eden.

312
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:49.799
Oh yeah, it's like Adam and
Eve. Yeah, it makes you wonder

313
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.400
like did they did did did they
copy some of that from the North Smith?

314
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.680
It's pretty weird. It's it's pretty
weird how that. And there's other

315
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:02.240
there's other stuff too, but actually
you're but it also makes me wonder because

316
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.400
they they weren't like back when the
Old Testament was being formed, I doubt

317
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.440
that they were even near Scandinavia.
What it really makes me wonder, is

318
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.920
this a common theme that's been transmitted
to mankind? That's what I think it

319
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.920
is across different cultures. Yeah,
because if you look at the timeline at

320
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:25.279
you know, this, this Ida, this stuff wasn't written down until the

321
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.000
twelve hundreds, which, like you
know, we would have already had the

322
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.440
Old Testament that you know, we
would have already had some would have had

323
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.559
the whole Catholic Empire, right exactly. Yeah, it would be near its

324
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:41.319
fall in fact, like just a
couple hundred years from the fall of Rome

325
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.960
and like the big Catholic empire and
ship. But yeah, interesting enough.

326
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:53.279
There there are a lot of like
those that cyclical symbolism in Norse mythology,

327
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:59.640
like the skull and Hati, Yeah, skull and Hati, the wolves that

328
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.519
chase the sun and moon, like
they're on that constant cycle of sun and

329
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.440
moon. And like there's there's so
many Yorman Gander Magni mody the there's like

330
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.119
there's very many. There's a lot
of duality symbolism, and then there's a

331
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:18.440
lot of that like cyclical thing.
And see, I never knew that there

332
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.799
was like post Ragnarok stuff, right, I didn't either. I thought it

333
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.079
was just like, oh, Ragnarock
happens, and then it starts over again.

334
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.599
I didn't even know it starts over
again. I was just like,

335
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:32.480
I just thought Ragnarok happens, boom, that's the end of the North Norse

336
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.119
pantheon. I didn't know anything about
it starts over again. And that's why

337
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:45.079
there's this weird there's these weird like
time dilations in Norse mythology. There's there's

338
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:51.119
this strange stuff about, like,
you know, it's prophesied that like four

339
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.839
will fight Yorman Gander in the end. And but then also it's like after

340
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:06.640
their fight, he's like sent back
into you good, Alex. He's like

341
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.160
sent back in time. There's like
weird time travel stuff. And yeah,

342
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:11.920
it's it gets kind of wild.
But I don't know. I always just

343
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.720
thought that like Ragnarok was the end
of it. Well, here's my notes

344
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.119
on Ragnarok. I thought this was
cool. Yeah, like the Christian Apocalypse,

345
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.559
Ragnarok sets out a series of events, a series of signs that will

346
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.240
ultimately define the end of times.
The first sign is the fimble Vetta or

347
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:30.200
the Fimble Winter, which is the
final long, continuous cold winter with constant

348
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.039
snow that lasts a year. It's
the sign. Then a red rooster called

349
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.599
Fhallar will warn the giants that Ragnarok
has begun. A second rooster will warn

350
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.519
all the dead that Ragnarok has begun. Finally, a third red rooster called

351
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.720
Golden Khambi, a rooster that lives
in Valhalla, a majestic hall located in

352
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.759
Asgard. Like we talked about,
Asgard is the realm where the gods like

353
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:55.680
odin Thor. It's like Olympus.
Yeah, it's just like Olympus. The

354
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.519
located n Asgard will warn all the
gods about the beginning of the end.

355
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.839
The god Heimdallar, who's one of
my diamond gods, and Smite. I

356
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.119
love playing him and Smite. The
god heim Dollar will use his trumpet to

357
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.720
play a specific tone. Oh,
his trumpet is the gyaller horn, big

358
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:18.359
horn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. He plays a specific

359
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.480
tone that will be heard in Valhalla, and this will bring back the dead

360
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.680
to life, and they will march
to the realm called Vigrid, a place

361
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.519
of battles, where the final battle
will take place. The seas will be

362
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.480
torn apart in the world. Serpent
Yorman Gander, a serpent so large that

363
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.400
it surrounds the earth and grasps its
own tail, will raise itself from the

364
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:38.359
depths of the oceans to join the
battle. The gods Balder and Hod will

365
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.839
also return from the dead to fight
in this final battle. The god Loki

366
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.119
was the son of a giant and
was known as a trickster god with the

367
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.720
ability to shape shift. His role
in the myth is unique and controversial,

368
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.720
since he appears to both help the
gods and hinder them. It's kind of

369
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:53.920
like the duality there. He's good
and he's evil. It's kind of interesting.

370
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.079
There's a lot of that in Norse
mythology. Yeah, it's cosmic duality.

371
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.839
It's all metaphors for the cosmos,
which was the same with the Greeks.

372
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:10.400
Loki fathered many offspring, including an
eight legged horse named Slipe Near used

373
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:11.759
by Odin, a dragon, and
the wolf fen Rear, who plays a

374
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.160
significant role in Ragnarok. According to
the story, Loki tricks the blind god

375
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.640
of winter Hode, and action that
results in the death of the god Boulder,

376
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.720
son of goddess Frigg and Odin.
Frigg is also Freya. Also in

377
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:29.920
witchcraft, Friday is known as the
witch's Sabbath or also known as the Day

378
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.559
of frig It's like a day because
she was like this goddess of magic and

379
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.000
Freya. Actually, you know,
it's cool about Fray A little side note,

380
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.119
The word Freya literally translates into the
lady. She's like this shining queen.

381
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.039
She's married to Odin. She's like
the goddess, the queen of the

382
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.799
valkyrie. Interesting little connection there,
but an action that results in the death

383
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.319
of the god Balder, son of
Frigg and Odin. Because of this,

384
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.039
he was punished and cast into a
cliff, where he was to remain bound

385
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.759
into a rock until Ragnarok, the
end of the world. This bears similarities

386
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:00.880
to the punishment of promethea an ancient
Greek myth who was bound to a rock

387
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:07.279
for giving fire to humanity. Lord
right, that's what is it? Prometheus

388
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.039
or Proteus? Prometheus? Prometheus?
Yeah, Proteus was the one I think

389
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.160
who was out on the rock and
the sea had prophecy yep. Yeah,

390
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.319
But we talked about Proteus and Prometheus
and our Lighthouse episodes. Hip. That's

391
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.079
what that movie is all. That
was a good episode. So Loki in

392
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.119
his hoard with the Frost Giants will
sell to Vigorate in the final battle against

393
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.599
the Acer on a ship made out
of the nails of dead men that's Gros

394
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.559
like a ghost ship. All monsters
and giants like the flame giant Searter,

395
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:38.119
Hell's dog Calm good name there,
the wolf fen Rear Fenris, and the

396
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.119
leader of the giants, Hrim,
will create a powerful army against the gods.

397
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.799
The result of the war is that
Thornon Odin and most of the gods

398
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.680
will die, and the dragons will
release fire that will destroy all life on

399
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.319
Earth. But this is not the
end. Things start again with a new

400
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.839
race. A new world arises from
the depths of the sea. The first

401
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.279
two mortals would be called Lift and
Lyft, thrust Heer, Woman and Man,

402
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.559
and they will repopulate Earth. The
god's Volley and v Are as well

403
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.559
as the sons of Thor and Nir
will survive the battle, go to Edival,

404
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.480
which will not be destroyed in Ragnarok, and then the gods Balder and

405
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.960
Hoder will be returned and a new
era will begin. See. That's another

406
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:15.920
thing that I saw, is like
there were some areas where names don't match

407
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.279
up, because I saw like the
leaf and leaf near thing, and then

408
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.519
I saw ash and Elm, and
then like some of the name it's the

409
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.200
same thing. It's all the same
thing. Yeah, it all means the

410
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:29.720
same thing. But yeah, that's
essentially the story of Ragnarok. It's it's

411
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:32.519
I always just thought it ended there. I always thought it was just the

412
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.000
cataclysm event that ends the the Norse
myth. But well, it's like the

413
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.039
Book of Revelations, there's this final
battle where Jesus rides in on the cloud

414
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.319
and the angels are blowing trumpets just
like kimed all blowing trumpets for the gods

415
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.440
of but Jesus rides in. I
do like this version better. He wins,

416
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.519
he beats the evil, he kills
all the demonic whatever, and then

417
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.920
it says that there's peace on earth
for a thousand years until one more final

418
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:57.799
judgment and then it's peace forever.
Yeah, you know. Yeah, And

419
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.440
then you have the hinduk hosmology,
same thing, the Yuga cycles. The

420
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:07.240
universe is destroyed by Shiva's dance and
then it's built a new Yeah. So

421
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.799
it's like, it's like, where
do we draw the line between mythology and

422
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:15.880
religion, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, we're talking about all the

423
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.680
same stuff here in Greek mythology,
in Norse mythology, but then also in

424
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:27.119
Hinduism, Christianity. It's like,
it's all the same symbolism. Why is

425
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:32.839
there a line drawn that says this
is mythology, this is religion. Well,

426
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.400
because the Catholics marked the world and
they're like, we're going to burn

427
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.519
you alive exactly. They went on
a huge spree which by the way.

428
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.119
I loved the History of the Bible
episode that we did because it it very

429
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:50.000
much highlighted that for me, and
like, yeah, I mean I think

430
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.200
that is the answer. It's the
Catholics. And also this, I don't

431
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:57.559
think that the Vikings, for example, were very much interested in making converts

432
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.279
to their religion. I think they
were more interested in pill and destroying their

433
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.160
enemies, yes, and ritualistically sacrificing
them to the I don't think they were

434
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.920
trying to convert. I think they
were trying to destroy. That's you know,

435
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.880
there's a big difference in the way
these systems they went on. The

436
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:16.279
Vikings went on massive Christian killings freeze. They would show up to an island

437
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:21.400
full of Catholics or Christians or they
didn't care what religion you were, if

438
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.119
you didn't believe in they were on
site. Yeah, they were literally just

439
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.000
straight. And then you had the
Catholics that are like, no, no,

440
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.039
no, you got to confess this
prayer or you're gonna your your soul

441
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.240
is going to burn in the after
place. There will do this, or

442
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.319
we're gonna burn you now. Yeah, there was no and send you to

443
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:42.000
the after place. There was no
exchange of words with the Vikings. It

444
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.920
was like they would burn the boats. Literally they would pull up to your

445
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:51.119
to your island, they would or
they'd pull up to your land on their

446
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:54.640
boats and burn the boats because they
had no intention of going back. They

447
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:59.960
had one intention. It was to
go in and kill everybody in the name

448
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.440
of the Norse gods and like if
they die, great, yeah, heaven,

449
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.119
that's what they want. It'sstic.
It is very sadistic. Oh you

450
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.960
know another pop culture when we didn't
mention Skyrim. Oh my god, dude,

451
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.719
Skrim is like straight up I wanted
to talk very quickly about this very

452
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:20.400
good horror film. It's not that
scary. That's not why it's good.

453
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.239
It's just some movies are like,
not that scary, but the vibe in

454
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:28.880
the atmosphere is perfect. It's called
the ritual sick movie. Wait a minute,

455
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:34.599
this is the one with like the
antler yep I son of Loki.

456
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.719
I saw the trailer and I was
like, that looks cool. Yeah,

457
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:44.480
it's sometimes sometimes I see like a
trailer for a scary movie and I'm like,

458
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.159
I want to watch that one.
Dude, you like spooky stuff,

459
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:51.079
You just you just haven't liked being
jump scary, right, but you like

460
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.280
the vibe. Yeah, I don't
like the I don't like feeling like I'm

461
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.760
gonna have a heart attack, like
anticipating a jump scary, like the ritual

462
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.599
because it's not playing fast. Yeah
it's good, Yeah, it's it actually

463
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.840
is really. Do you like roller
coasters? No, same reason, same

464
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:12.400
reason. Yeah. So I don't
know though, because it's the same paradox

465
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.159
with me. It's like, yeah, I don't like them, but like

466
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.800
I've been on every ride at Carowins, Like I've been on most of them

467
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.320
at like Universal and Disney, and
like, you know, I feel like

468
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.840
the differences. It's just shorter lived
yeah, yeah, yeah, and on

469
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.679
movies like long like they like to
keep you in that spot. But here's

470
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.920
the crazy thing. It's always for
me, it's the anticipation. Yeah,

471
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.159
that's the thing I can't do.
But then you do it and it's like,

472
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.880
oh, that was fun and it's
a real fast passed kind of guy.

473
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:45.360
Yes, yes, a thousand percent
yes. Cause all right, so

474
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:51.480
for instance, we're at like Islands
of Adventure with the Hulk roller coaster,

475
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:52.920
right, that's an insane ride.
Now, it's insane. I mean,

476
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.679
it's just wrote it like recently.
Really, wait, when'd you go?

477
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.599
Went to Universal? Like three weeks
ago, three weeks ago, four weeks

478
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:04.559
ago. Dude, We're the new
Jurassic Park ride, the Velocit coaster.

479
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:08.079
That is the best. There's a
new Jurassic Park ride. They have a

480
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:12.519
whole new thing. Man. Oh, I know, twenty twenty five something

481
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:17.320
like that, And which sucks because
like our entire family is going in November,

482
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:20.639
which I don't care. It's gonna
be so much fun. We're going

483
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.639
to Disney and Universal. Yeah in
November. I haven't been in a coaster

484
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:29.159
five years or so, do it. The fast pass line was like thirty

485
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:31.840
or forty minutes. This is what
I'm saying, Dude. If I walk

486
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:36.599
up, if I see this big
ass roller coaster, it looks scary as

487
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.119
shit, and I'm like, oh, I don't know about that. If

488
00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:43.960
there's nobody in line, yeah,
I get my ass on that thing.

489
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:46.880
I don't care, Like I don't
have time to think about, Like,

490
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:51.119
I don't have time to be nervous. It's just get me on it and

491
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:53.639
there we go. Yeah, and
then whatever. It's when I'm waiting in

492
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:57.840
a line of one hundred people and
I'm just sitting there thinking in my head

493
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:05.199
like I am, I'm freaking out
right now, nervous waiting thirty to forty

494
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.400
five minutes to go and be scared
on a roller coaster. It's like it's

495
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:10.639
it just doesn't compute in my mind. But then when I do it,

496
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:14.440
I'm like, that was fun.
Yeah, you know, yeah, it's

497
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:19.519
the same whatever that is, it's
the same connection. Okay, So sorry,

498
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.440
you were talking about something awesome I
don't remember, but well listen,

499
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.400
I'm gonna jump back into the Christianity
stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

500
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:32.440
let's talk about our boy Loki.
So what do you know about Loki?

501
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.400
Uh? I mean, admittedly not
much, just that he's like a trickster

502
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.119
archetype. He's you know, he
could be perceived as good, he can

503
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.760
perceived as evil. But what you
what everybody knows about Loki's he's a trickster.

504
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:47.599
Yeah, he's a trick He's one
of those like tricky trickster gods.

505
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:53.840
All right. So there's theories in
these like theories that I've found about the

506
00:37:54.599 --> 00:38:00.920
connections between Christianity and like the end
of Ragnarok and Norse mythology and stuff.

507
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:06.199
They suggest that, like, you
know, how We've talked before about how

508
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:09.360
the Old Testament God and the New
Testament God are like very different. Ye,

509
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:16.320
well, a lot of scholars theorized
that, like maybe that Old Testament

510
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:21.039
God was Loki. Interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. You say that too,

511
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:22.440
because the next episode we're going to
do his gnosticism, and that's the

512
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:28.199
entire subject, that Old Testament versus
the yeah being different gots oh right,

513
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.280
right, yes, n all right. So, according to such theories,

514
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:37.119
Loki, who is the god of
mischief and fire, fled into his daughter's

515
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:45.000
realm of Hellheim after Ragnarok and shape
shifted into a snake to corrupt ash and

516
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:54.960
elm into his favor, changing his
own name to Lucifer. What which in

517
00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:04.440
Norse it would have been Balder light
light bringer. That's literally what lucifer means.

518
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:08.239
Interesting, Balder means light bringer.
Okay, Lucifer means light bringer.

519
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:15.000
And this is the other crazy thing, Like if all right, because according

520
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:21.400
to the prophecy, it's Loki's fault. It's like it's Loki's fault that Ragnarok

521
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:27.320
starts because he kills Balder. Interesting, dude, he'd be a little mad.

522
00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.239
You know what's crazy because you don't
know this. While you're playing the

523
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:35.000
first God of War, you don't
spoiler. You don't realize that the kid

524
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.480
is loc and it's his arrows that
kill him. Deep. Oh yeah,

525
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:44.800
they're like more accurate with it that
see, that was the first time that.

526
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:46.639
Yeah. The only thing that's not
accurate there is like Balder's kind of

527
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:52.280
a dick in r But all that
is is changing their like personalities, which

528
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.360
is like who cares, who's to
say what their personalities were? Like,

529
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:59.840
you know whatever. That's cool,
dude. That was the first thing when

530
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:06.480
I'm playing that first got A War
game. It was because he had mistletoe

531
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.000
arrows. That's in our song,
dude, Yeah, that's in our song.

532
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:15.480
Twice Born has a song about Ragnarok
and in the song, a mistletoe

533
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:21.760
arrow brought down my son. That's
literally how it happens. In Norse mythology,

534
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.800
the only thing that can damage Balder
is mistletoe. And in the game

535
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:34.920
in God of War, Freya makes
a treeis who is actually Loki you find

536
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:38.679
out at the end of the first
GOT War game makes him an arrowhead of

537
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:44.480
mistletoe, not to kill Balder just
because of there. They went to some

538
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:50.599
realm where he needed to have mistletoe
that would like you know, like get

539
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.000
be able to access certain areas or
something like that. But he used an

540
00:40:54.119 --> 00:41:00.480
arrowhead. Remember he tied up his
because his his sash for his quiver broke,

541
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.360
so they use it to tie it
up, and then Balder punches him

542
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:06.199
there and the arrowhead goes into his
hand and that's what ends. Like you

543
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.800
find out it is this weakness.
Yeah, when that happened in the game,

544
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:14.199
I was like, is a tray
is Loki? Because I knew,

545
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:19.119
like I knew that it was Loki
who is supposed to kill Balder. So

546
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:22.639
now the thing about this for a
second. If you were Loki and you

547
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:28.039
had everything going for you had this
master plan and you were trying to evade

548
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:31.440
Ragnarok, but then all of a
sudden, by chance, boom, it

549
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:37.719
happens Balder dies, and you're like
this motherfucker, Like Balder ruined it all

550
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:45.800
for me, and then Ragnarok happens. You hide in Hellheim, you transfix

551
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:50.920
yourself into a snake, all this
stuff, Like, wouldn't you want to

552
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:55.000
give Balder such a bad name?
You would want to like tarnish his name?

553
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.519
He It was like the theory is
that he took name so that he

554
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:06.360
could tarnish it light Bringer. Yeah, Lucifer, like the serpent in the

555
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:12.519
Garden of Eden. Right. Another
thing that is maybe less known about Loki

556
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.719
is he is like the most jealous
of all the gods. He's the most

557
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:22.440
jealous. In fact, I'm pretty
sure that's like why he kills Balder.

558
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:29.000
He's killed multiple gods because of like
you know, in what's it called Asgard

559
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:34.760
they have there's this big dining hall
of Odin. It's in Odin's palace,

560
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:38.159
and it's this dining hall where all
the acier dined together, and it's a

561
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.559
big deal. It's a big honor
to be invited to eat at this table.

562
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:46.639
And like Loki has been kicked from
the table multiple times and then brought

563
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:53.400
back and all this stuff. But
on multiple occasions Loki has either had gods

564
00:42:53.480 --> 00:43:01.519
killed or killed them himself because all
of the other acer are like favoring those

565
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:07.280
gods. He's like extremely extremely jealous. He's the most jealous of all the

566
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:14.719
ace Here Exodus thirty four to fourteen, for you must worship no other gods.

567
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.239
For the lord whose very name is
jealous is a god who is jealous

568
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.360
about his relationship with you. It's
like there's no other God besides right,

569
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.960
right, It's like he's this extremely
which is crazy because in the New Testament

570
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.360
it's not like that at all.
It's not even He's not this jealous god.

571
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:36.159
It's not like that at all.
Okay. And then finally going back

572
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:42.159
to Eden and Eden's orchard and the
golden apples of Eden and all that stuff,

573
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:46.000
the only tree of life mentioned in
the Bible is from the garden of

574
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:51.679
Eden. So this is like a
parallel to one of Eden's trees because Eden

575
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:54.239
was the only goddess who could produce
these apples. Wait a minute, what

576
00:43:54.280 --> 00:44:00.800
was the apple called Aidun? Yeah? Wow, that's what I'm saying.

577
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.039
Yeah, you're just yeah, that's
what I mean. I got the concept,

578
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.239
but the word, yeah, it's
the same. It's the same thing.

579
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:13.840
Wow, like her. The goddess's
name is Ethen, and it's the

580
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:19.159
garden of Ethen, the orchard of
Ethen, the apple, the apples crazy

581
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.400
Ethen, the tree of Even.
And you know what, even in the

582
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:23.360
Old Testament it says, you know, once you eat the fruit of this

583
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:28.480
tree, or once they ate the
fruit, they became as gods. Right,

584
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:30.039
you said, it was when they
ate the apples of Athen that they

585
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:35.360
became the gods. Yes, that's
how power. That's what gives them their

586
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.559
like vigor and their long life and
their power. Yeah, it's the it's

587
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:44.159
the golden apples of Ethen. Wow, it's wild. So that the only

588
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.239
tree of life mentioned in the Bible
is from the garden of Eden. So

589
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:50.880
this could be seen as a parallel
to one of Ethen's trees, where all

590
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:57.199
those who were once on balder side
of the war would go after Ragnarok to

591
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:02.079
live forever in the throne of God. Of the ace here or the twenty

592
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:07.519
Elders of the Bible. It's like
the twenty Elders of the Bible around the

593
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:13.280
throne of God. It's the throne
of God. It's it's it's Even's orchard.

594
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:16.639
It's it's like there, it's the
new realm of the gods. And

595
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:22.920
then there's in Revelation, there's this
passage the blessed are permitted to enter the

596
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:27.280
gates of New Bethlehem and eat of
the tree of life. Wow, that's

597
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:34.599
revelation. That's after the apocalypse event
afterwards, just like Ragnarok. After the

598
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:40.320
apocalypse event, you can go to
the Throne of God or New Bethlehem and

599
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:45.760
eat of the Tree of life.
Like I just am desperate to know,

600
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:52.639
like how those systems are so similar
yet they're so far apart, Like what

601
00:45:52.679 --> 00:46:01.239
does that mean? In my opinion, I think that I think it's I

602
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:07.280
think it's all psychic downloads. Right, Think about this, dude, This

603
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.320
is crazy that I don't want to
get into too much of a spirit science

604
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:15.159
episode because we got to save those
for spirit science episodes. But like the

605
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:23.480
way that we as like flesh and
blood human beings got here were because over

606
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:31.360
millions of years, gas clouds formed
in space, which eventually pulled sediment and

607
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:37.800
other materials in together, and they
collapsed in on themselves and this like massive

608
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:44.800
amount of gravity creating a huge like
singularity of energy stars. You know,

609
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:53.239
in the middle of those stars are
fusion events, these massive, unfathomable amounts

610
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:59.239
of energy, these fusion events.
That is where the building blocks of all

611
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:05.559
life come from. Inside of those
stars. You know, carbon and everything,

612
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.360
everything that we are made of,
that everything is made of, it's

613
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:14.679
all of that. And then when
those stars die, it gets scattered and

614
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:20.440
spit all across the cosmos. Right, you can think of that spiritually,

615
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:25.840
as you know, we are the
universe, We are everything, right,

616
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:31.199
if that's true, and we literally
are absolutely everything, which I mean we

617
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.840
we know that scientifically. That is
science fact. Like Carl Sagan said,

618
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:38.679
we are made of star stuff.
We are literally the elements of the sun

619
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:45.719
that that heat the perfect temperature conditions
in this solar system for all the elements

620
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:49.440
to exist and create life. Yeah. Yeah, it happens because of the

621
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:57.000
fusion at the core of stars.
Then then you introduce you interject the spirituality

622
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:01.840
aspect of it, and it's all
just energy. There's like a matter is

623
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:07.679
an illusion. It's all just energy
and whatever. This is like the most

624
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:15.480
concentrated ball of energy. Like that
means since the beginning of time, all

625
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:21.360
that's been happening is energy has just
been changing form and spitting and changing form

626
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:27.239
and spitting and moving and spreading.
Well, it's like Ragnarock, isn't it.

627
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:30.960
Well, because you know this stuff
is coming together and forming some new

628
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.360
life. You know, stars live
billions of years and then what do they

629
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:37.880
do. They freaking explode and they
start over again. So you just said

630
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.000
it, You just said what that's
it. That's what I was getting I

631
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.159
said, it's like ragnrock, isn't
it. So you just said it.

632
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:52.119
It's that's all that's ever been happening. That's all that's ever happened, and

633
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:58.360
all that's ever been happening, right, right, that energy is permeating into

634
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:02.239
our subconscious, into our minds,
and it is. It's in our DNA.

635
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:09.320
Yes, it's through allegory and through
artistic representation telling us the story of

636
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:15.360
the cosmos. Right, it's being
downloaded into our minds artistically. That's our

637
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:20.760
filter, our filter when it passes. We're personifying these concepts with different characters.

638
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:24.719
Yes, it's such a beautiful,
amazing thing, like you know,

639
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:29.199
the marriage of spirit and science is
so beautiful. That's why we have a

640
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:31.800
whole segment about it. But like
that's what I believe. I believe.

641
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:37.199
Remember in Akira, they said the
movie Akira, they had the whole dialogue

642
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:38.760
where he's explaining that He's like,
it's in our DNA. You know exactly

643
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:42.559
what we just said with the stars
and the cosmos, And it is.

644
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:46.519
But at some point we hit this
evolution phase where we evolve to that level

645
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.039
and unlock that knowledge, you know, Yes, yeah, exactly, And

646
00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:54.840
it's like even the most nuts and
bolt scientists on the world. On the

647
00:49:54.880 --> 00:50:01.119
world, are you a SCIENTI why? Laughter? That right? Yes,

648
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:09.800
the monsters on the world. There
was monsters on the world. Okay anyway,

649
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:15.599
Yeah, even even the most nuts
and bolts scientists in the world would

650
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:21.679
not dare to refute what we just
said, that that we are star stuff,

651
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.599
we we come from stars, that
we would not be here without stars.

652
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:30.280
All that's ever happened since the Big
Bang is just explosions of energy and

653
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:40.079
things spreading. So what's happening over
the ages of human evolution is we're downloading

654
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:45.679
this information from the cosmos. But
think about this. You tell some ooga

655
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:50.960
booga cave man that like that star
in the sky, and you know,

656
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.440
if you explain it in the nuts
and bolts way, it's just gonna like

657
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:57.719
break their mind. And they're like, they can't it means nothing to them.

658
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:02.440
But if you tell them a man
like you, you know, and

659
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:07.840
you you explain it to them a
tree, a man, a serpent,

660
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:15.679
a wolf, right, they can't
understand that, right, that is mythology.

661
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:19.639
That's that's an important point because like, that's that's something that I kind

662
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.880
of talk about a lot, but
not not explicitly in this way because we're

663
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:27.719
having this conversation officially, but like
that's my thing is Like, you know,

664
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:30.519
I see a lot of people out
there that are like I work with

665
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:35.199
this deity, I work with this
God, and you know, not not

666
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:37.599
to be an ass, but I'm
just like why because exactly what you just

667
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:45.960
said, Like there's there's one universal
intelligence, there's one force, and throughout

668
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:51.719
time we're just personifying this force in
different ways, you know what I mean.

669
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:53.119
It's like it's like what we talk
about all the time with the Dow.

670
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:55.440
It's like, you know, when
you label me, you've pushed me

671
00:51:55.480 --> 00:52:00.480
away. It's like I work with
Loki, I work with on you.

672
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:04.039
It's like, okay, well I
work with Goku. You know. It's

673
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:08.039
just it's just a character. I
don't think that there's like zero value in

674
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:15.800
labels. Just this is just me
personally. Like I've been I don't know,

675
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:21.400
I've been on this like discovery journey
lately of kind of like finding my

676
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:28.360
connection with God again in and actually
like the label part of it was very

677
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:32.119
important for me. The label part
of it was perhaps the most important part

678
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:39.519
for me. I think the time
when the label part matters is. I

679
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:43.480
don't know, this might sound a
little weird, but I feel like when

680
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:49.719
you grow up indoctrinated into a religion
and your your brain, your mind are

681
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:58.039
being formed in those formative years being
closely associated with a religion, it is

682
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:04.519
like hard, if not near impossible, to break those connections. Yeah,

683
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:10.199
and so if you're trying to connect
with God or whatever higher you know,

684
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:14.199
whatever you want to call it,
God is what I'm calling it. I

685
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:16.639
was afraid to call it that for
a while because, like you know,

686
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:22.800
I had some trauma associated with that
and I had a new understanding and whatever,

687
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:24.719
and so I didn't say the word
God or I didn't use the word

688
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:30.679
God because people assume God means Christian. Yes, that's a very big misconception.

689
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.760
Raven a Hindu would say, they
believe in God, yes, matter

690
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:37.840
of fact, they love Jesus and
and man like he's like Christna. Things

691
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.800
started to change for me in a
major, major way when I started using

692
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:46.400
the labels God and Jesus again.
Yeah, when I started using those again,

693
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:52.320
it's it's like, yeah, I
didn't use those terms or those labels

694
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:53.679
because I was like, well,
I'm not a Christian, like, so

695
00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:59.159
I don't want to use those terms
because like I don't want to be I

696
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:04.519
don't want to like pigeon myself pigeonhole
myself into that. But that severed the

697
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:07.079
connection for me. But Jesus was
a man, right, you know what

698
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:09.760
I mean. It's just like Confucius
was a man. I read his stories.

699
00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:14.199
He has great wisdom, you know, laotsu. Yeah. And also

700
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:19.239
God, God is not a name. God, God is in existence.

701
00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:23.360
God is God is a force.
My only thing is you know. I

702
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:27.280
see people say like, oh,
yeah, I'm starting to have dreams of

703
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:30.159
you know, this entity working with
me, and you know, should I

704
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:32.280
I have? Dude, you just
have no clue the questions I get.

705
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:36.320
You know, do you do you
ever work with do you ever work with

706
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:38.800
Loki? I'm like, no,
no, yeah, I've definitely I don't.

707
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.159
I don't. I don't box my
mind and trying to work with an

708
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:45.719
eager cord. That's all I'm saying
is it's like in the Gnostic episode,

709
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:51.840
we'll talk about that they had a
strict belief that like God is, God

710
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:53.639
is a secret name that's not known
to mortals. Yeah, because it's not

711
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:58.079
word. I think the only thing
that is is truly important is the connection,

712
00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.880
right and connection, And if the
language helps you make a better connection

713
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:07.039
than great, then then then that's
great. So if you if saying you

714
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:12.239
work with a certain God like truly
actually strength strengthens the connection to the real

715
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.079
God, great, awesome, that's
all that really matters. But like,

716
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:21.199
yeah, I mean obviously, like
it was bad for me to try to

717
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:27.360
pigeonhole myself into like calling it something
else, like calling it labeling it like

718
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:31.960
the universe, or labeling it like
whatever else. It It was actually eroding

719
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:38.159
my connection, yeah, making it
disappear. No God is God, Yeah,

720
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:43.400
for sure. Let's see. Oh, I want to talk about one

721
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:47.119
more thing from from an angle of
theosophy. I'm excited about this one.

722
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:52.039
Yeah. So we love theosophy.
We love Helena Blovotsky. You know,

723
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:57.760
well, I don't love no,
No, I don't even like her.

724
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:00.679
But I like a lot of her
word, you know what I'm Yeah,

725
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:04.199
you know what I mean. We
like her work. I think she's a

726
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:08.519
nasty attitude, but yes, I
love it seemingly. Yes. So she

727
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:14.920
maintains that the metaphysical truth is not
restricted to one specific religious tradition, but

728
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.199
can be found in ancient traditions and
mythologies around the world. Brilliant. That's

729
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:23.159
essentially what we've been talking about.
But this is this is where it gets

730
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:29.840
really cool. Blovotsky describes the most
enlightened stages throughout the various mythologies of the

731
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:35.119
world as the thirty five Buddhas of
confession. Wow, you know, have

732
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:38.039
you ever heard of that? Yeah, it's I looked into that specifically in

733
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:45.440
like Hinduism Buddhism, and yeah,
there's all these different Buddhas of different aspects

734
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:52.039
and all of this stuff, But
there is specific importance placed on these Buddhas

735
00:56:52.079 --> 00:57:00.519
of confession because I guess according to
some sects of Buddhism, confession is like

736
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:05.599
the first step to true enlightenment.
It's you know, interesting, and this

737
00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:13.000
is like Tibetan Buddhism mostly so in
Theosophy, Odin among many others, are

738
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:17.880
considered to be one of those thirty
five Buddhas. And they believe that Odin,

739
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:23.320
you know, who appeared in like
northern Europe, like Scandinavia area,

740
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:30.159
when the northern hemisphere was not yet
divided by the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic Ocean

741
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:36.239
had not yet divided there it was
Pangaea still and because of this, the

742
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:45.519
spiritual founding father of Europe could easily
be associated with Atlantis being separated and ancient,

743
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:49.920
an ancient civilization, you know,
think about it. It's you know,

744
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:53.760
that's another allegory, that is,
it probably didn't happen exactly how the

745
00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:58.880
myths describe, or like the Emerald
tablets describe, or you know, so

746
00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:02.400
wait a minute, So Helena Blovotsky
is I could be way wrong here,

747
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:09.559
but she's insinuating that some sort of
spiritual understanding of Atlantis was in like early

748
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:15.800
early Europe, in the Norse myth, or like the knowledge of Atlantis somehow

749
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:20.519
translated to the Norse myth. What
it is, Mark, it's it's that

750
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:28.199
she believes that there are these thirty
five entities across mythologies and religions who have

751
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:34.679
that sort of thing happening similarly with
all of them, where they are a

752
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:40.199
part of this one continent and then
it becomes separated, and she notes the

753
00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:45.119
the similarity to that's amazing. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So

754
00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:52.760
it's like these thirty five Buddhas of
confession all seem to have this like symbolic

755
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:55.719
connection to Atlantis. So let me
reiterate this. Yeah, from what I'm

756
00:58:55.760 --> 00:59:00.119
understanding here, I've genuinely never heard
this topic yet. What I'm understanding here

757
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:07.519
is Helena Blovotski is saying that in
the very very early iteration of humankind here,

758
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:09.840
back when it was most likely Pangeo
one continent. Yeah, back when

759
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:15.559
there was probably one primordial knowledge,
and then there was a split thirty five

760
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.559
different Buddhas as she calls them,
split across the world, and that's why

761
00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:22.960
we have this knowledge popping up with
all this enlightened wisdom that's deep makes a

762
00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:25.559
lot of sense, that's what she
believes. That makes so much sense.

763
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:29.840
Yeah, it does, and it's
like, you know, it's like I

764
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:34.639
said, it's most likely it didn't
happen exactly how the Emerald tablets describe it,

765
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:38.719
you know. But if you think
about like a one united world that

766
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:45.599
has there's no like hoarding of information, there's no separation of information. It's

767
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:51.480
one land mass and everybody can share
all of the knowledge and wealth. And

768
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:59.079
then they break off and those sages
that are scattered throughout are separated, and

769
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:01.639
they have these new system popping up. But there's so many similarities between them

770
01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:07.760
exactly. That makes sense, and
there are similarities to think about how Hermist's

771
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:14.079
Magistus is described to have been separated
and come back, and it's like Hermistre's

772
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:19.360
Megistress is one of those those sages. It's or it's an allegory of those

773
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:24.280
sages. Rather it's the separation of
the knowledge of the entity of the sage

774
01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:32.360
and then the eventual returning of that
sage that knowledge that that kind of the

775
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:37.320
connections to Atlantis. Yeah, I
thought that was really really cool. And

776
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:42.400
then the last thing is they placed
a lot of theosophy places a lot of

777
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:47.000
emphasis on igdrasil that that you know, because of all the similarities. There's

778
01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:51.159
so many, and so I just
wrote down some of the similarities and some

779
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:54.159
of the stuff there. So,
like in hindu they have a sacred tree

780
01:00:54.159 --> 01:01:00.159
known as Asvatha, which is also
called the sacred fig It's it's uh,

781
01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:04.119
it's a sacred tree for Hindus.
And this is like these are actual trees

782
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.880
that you can go and visit in
the world today. There they're called o

783
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.719
tree. They've preserved them, yeah
exactly, Yeah, it's it's it's like

784
01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:17.079
that some of them have been preserved
for thousands upon thousands of years and others.

785
01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:22.920
They they they grow new ones too
from they will uh what's it called

786
01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:28.079
propagate the tree? And that's it's
cool that they have the actual physical tree

787
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:36.440
in real life, whereas you know
Irasill mythological it was believed that uh Gautama

788
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:40.400
was sitting under when he reached the
light and he fasted for forty days and

789
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:44.719
nights like Jesus did too. Yeah, that that's why, uh, they're

790
01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:51.159
sacred. The the the Bodi tree
is what it's called in uh in Buddhism,

791
01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:55.239
but the body tree it's known is
an Osaka tree. Wow. That's

792
01:01:55.239 --> 01:02:01.239
cool, Yeah, really cool.
Is the world tree of Hinduism and bears

793
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:06.320
many similarities to Egill, so it's
a it's a similar thing. The tree

794
01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:10.920
is described as having its roots in
heaven and its crown or branches below.

795
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:16.360
Yeah. Yeah, but also like
Kabala remember, yes, yeah exactly,

796
01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:20.320
there's also as above, so below
there's also a verse. Isn't there a

797
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.679
verse in the Bible that talks about
roots above branches below? Yes, I

798
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.320
don't recall it, right, that's
where the Devil Is probably got their album.

799
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:34.199
Yeah. The branches symbolized the visible
universe and the roots the spiritual realm.

800
01:02:34.760 --> 01:02:38.920
The roots represent the manifested logos.
Wait a minute, Uh you said

801
01:02:39.639 --> 01:02:45.320
that the branches were in hell and
the roots were in heaven. It's uh

802
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:47.920
hang on, let's see. Yeah, the tree is described as roots in

803
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:55.039
heaven, crown or branches below below
Yeah, below, like like earth the

804
01:02:55.039 --> 01:03:00.480
physical realm. Yeah. So the
branches symbolize the visible universe, the roots

805
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:06.239
the spiritual realm because the remember the
roots are above. In this they represent

806
01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:13.039
the manifested logos, which descends into
grosser materiality, as symbolized by its branches

807
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:19.079
and leaves. It also symbolically represents
the human body's nervous system, with its

808
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:24.760
roots in the brain and its branches
throughout the body, following the occult principle

809
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:30.519
of analogy, which is as above
so below this is. This is heavily

810
01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:36.519
detailed in some of these theosophical texts, but essentially the point is that one

811
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:42.960
must climb this tree to be able
to liberate oneself and go beyond even the

812
01:03:43.079 --> 01:03:47.320
roots, which is even beyond the
logos, the mind, the spiritual realm.

813
01:03:47.639 --> 01:03:53.880
It's like you climb and then even
transcend that which would be considered enlightenment,

814
01:03:54.000 --> 01:04:00.400
like true like realized enlightenment. Right, Yeah, let's see. I

815
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:04.440
think that's all I got. Dang, that was really deep. That's the

816
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:08.599
that's the theosophical spin on it,
which I think is so cool. I

817
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:11.800
was selling Ryan earlier. Usually whenever
we dig into a topic, I like

818
01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:15.760
to go theosophy angle first. That's
where I was planning on starting. But

819
01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:18.559
then we started talking about the Christianity
stuff. So that's interesting because I wouldn't

820
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:23.199
I don't think to do that,
to look at things through a theosophy lens.

821
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:25.480
That's why we make a good team, Yeah, because I think about

822
01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:29.480
it just like from an occult lens
or an esoteric lens, which is like

823
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:32.719
theosophy, gnosticism, wisdom, truth, you know, Like that's that's interesting.

824
01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:38.280
But I do have to say theosophy
does really cut to the core of

825
01:04:38.320 --> 01:04:42.519
the symbolism, and and that's what
it is for me. It's like if

826
01:04:42.559 --> 01:04:46.440
I if I start with theosophy,
even if I don't find like a wealth

827
01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:49.760
of crazy stuff, it will point
me in the right direction, right,

828
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:55.239
It'll point me to gnosticism or her
meticism, or it'll it'll point me to

829
01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:59.840
where I need to be going.
Even Buddhism, Hinduism, like theosophy is

830
01:04:59.880 --> 01:05:03.760
just so that's the whole purpose of
it. Of theosophy is to cross reference

831
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:08.079
all this stuff, and so it
always points me in the right direction.

832
01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:11.599
That's why I typically start there.
Wow. Yeah, that was really deep.

833
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:14.519
Yeah, that was really deep,
you know what I'm saying. And

834
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:16.199
I did want to say one more
thing. You know, I keep saying,

835
01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:18.960
you know, we're not supposed to
label things. We're not supposed label

836
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:24.440
things. You guys listening realized that
the lady, the entity that my dad

837
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:27.800
experienced came and said that she's been
known as Hathorne by many other names,

838
01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:31.199
right, many other names, yet
my dad never calls her any of those

839
01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:33.760
names. Now, just calls her
the lady, the lady. Yeah,

840
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:38.400
that was That's what I wanted to
get across. So many people ask me,

841
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.280
man, I've had probably thousands of
messages at this point, and Dad

842
01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:46.159
has has I couldn't even tell you
how many thousands upon thousands, And we

843
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:49.920
get so many messages like how does
it relate to Christianity, How does it

844
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:53.679
relate to Islam? How does it
relate to you know, this religion,

845
01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:58.960
that religion, this religion that religion, and I'm just like, you know,

846
01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:00.119
like I don't know what to tell
you, like it's God, you

847
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.119
know, just just keep an open
mind and and that's all I'm saying,

848
01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:09.119
Like I don't want people to get
so boxed into where they have to believe

849
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.119
one certain type of way or they
have to think about it in one certain

850
01:06:12.159 --> 01:06:15.440
type of way. Like that's that's
all I'm saying. I'm not I'm not

851
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:17.519
trying to like shame people for what
they believe in, for sure, I

852
01:06:17.559 --> 01:06:23.960
want people to keep an open mind
and understand that God and its truest form

853
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:28.360
is not bound to an identity or
to a name that we came up with.

854
01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:31.599
God is incomprehensible. I believe that
the true form of God is probably

855
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:35.159
light yet not even visible, you
know, like I don't know, I

856
01:06:35.199 --> 01:06:38.960
don't, I know, I agree, That's all I'm saying. I think

857
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:46.760
that the only purpose of labels ever
was so that you could kind of just

858
01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:51.000
just begin not to even fathom it, but fathom how to connect with it.

859
01:06:51.159 --> 01:06:56.360
Like we were saying earlier, like
how do they describe the story of

860
01:06:56.400 --> 01:07:00.000
the cosmos by putting it in terms
that you can understand? It's definitely helped.

861
01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:04.760
I think in most cases, I
think that's generally like that's the right

862
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:10.280
idea, Like it trying to put
a specific label on it is just silly.

863
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:13.599
It's never going to fit like it
is not this. No, but

864
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:15.519
if you want to try to understand
it, read this. Sure. Yeah,

865
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:19.840
yeah, you're never going to fit
it into a specific box, a

866
01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:26.639
specific name, a label, whatever. Yeah. I think that it's just

867
01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:31.440
interesting that in my case, it
was that was the part that was making

868
01:07:31.480 --> 01:07:38.800
things difficult for me, was was
removing all labels completely and taking all of

869
01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:42.920
it completely away, everything that I
had learned, like you know, in

870
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:48.280
Christianity, and completely entirely removing all
of that. It severed my connection to

871
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:54.960
the like the true real God.
It's it's a weird paradox because like,

872
01:07:55.360 --> 01:07:59.400
yeah, you cannot fit it into
a label, a name, a specific

873
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:01.239
god, none of that stuff.
But then how do I connect to it?

874
01:08:01.559 --> 01:08:04.840
Yeah? It might be it could
you know. I think it's probably

875
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:11.679
just that I have some unresolved religious
trauma and it's somewhere it's like I haven't

876
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:16.640
worked that stuff out yet, and
so that tether to those labels is still

877
01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:24.800
present, right, and it's like
this whole journey is has been me realizing

878
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:28.079
that tether is still present, but
rather than just saying like, well,

879
01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:30.079
I gotta fucking cut it off,
it's like, well, no, that

880
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:35.680
doesn't have to be cut off.
I can use that to connect while still

881
01:08:35.800 --> 01:08:41.720
understanding in my higher understanding that like, yeah, the label, it's not

882
01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:45.039
like it's just a word. It
doesn't it doesn't make sense. It's not

883
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:48.119
going to fit into any one category
or box. My dad always tells me

884
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:51.159
this that how do we know what
God is? All we can do is

885
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:55.720
imagine God. It's in our Dude. He'll be speaking in front of fifty

886
01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:58.520
two hundred people. He'll say,
you know, we only imagine God.

887
01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:02.640
We don't know what God is.
And he says, personally, I imagine

888
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.159
God is a woman. And he
appeared to me as a woman, Yeah,

889
01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:10.520
a lady, you know. And
he's like, I don't you know,

890
01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:14.319
I don't need if you think of
God as a man, that's okay.

891
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:16.720
You imagine God how you want to
imagine God. This is how I

892
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:19.640
imagine God. You know, he's
not saying her name is this and this

893
01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:23.039
and this and this and that's all
I'm saying, man, Because I really

894
01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:25.840
do get a lot of messages from
people. They're like, oh, yeah,

895
01:09:26.119 --> 01:09:29.359
I'm working with the spirit of Kwan
Yu, which is like some minor

896
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:32.600
Chinese deity. It's right great,
you know, I'm imagining the highest force

897
01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:34.760
in the universe. Right, that's
all I'm saying. I'm just giving advice.

898
01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:39.000
I get a lot of questions about
how to connect and anyway. I

899
01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:42.399
think this was an outstanding episode I
did too. This one was super fun.

900
01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:45.479
It was fun. It's zipped on
by Yeah. I really didn't have

901
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:47.199
much more. I mean, you
you knocked it out of the park.

902
01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:53.319
Sweet hell. Yeah, I'm just
I'm fascinated with mythology in general. Norse

903
01:09:53.359 --> 01:09:57.199
and Greek are my two favorites.
And one day we got to hit Greek

904
01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:01.319
mythologies. Oh definitely, so hard. Absolutely, that'll be lighty. Yeah.

905
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:03.680
And then I want to do a
Wisdom tradition episode on the Oracles of

906
01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:10.000
Delphi and the Alician mystery tradition.
Yeah. Do we do an episode like

907
01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:13.800
this that's like Greek myth and then
we hit deeper into the like esoteric.

908
01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:15.520
That's the way angle of it,
you know. Yeah, that's the way

909
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:18.560
to do it for sure. Yeah. I love that rocking and rolling bro

910
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:30.079
Roll, we say hell him,
yeah, brother brother, What's what's God?

911
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:35.239
What's the led Zeppelin song? Dude? Oh the Immigrants song. Yeah,

912
01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:41.359
that's a good one. Yeah,
that's some biking that'll get your norse.

913
01:10:41.439 --> 01:10:49.119
Jimmy's going okay by got out of
here. Weird things happen in the

914
01:10:49.159 --> 01:11:10.560
backyard. It's so weird coming closer
to us players, this straight up like

915
01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:20.359
smiring on the inside of it.
No one knows that. Wow, it's

916
01:11:20.439 --> 01:12:00.199
come for I ever thought the solid
na
