WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:30.199 Weird things happened in the backyard, the weird, weird weird. I what's 2 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.039 up, hey, dude? What what I'm just I'm trying not to laugh 3 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:39.679 during your intro. You well you did because you said what I'm keeping it 4 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.000 cool? Whatever, Bro, you are giving me a look you were you 5 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.880 of my head laughing what amberds dude? You know, honestly, probably you 6 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:54.840 probably just wanted to ruin my uh introduction. Broo, it's a conspiracy. 7 00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:00.520 It's a conspiracy, Bro, conspiracy. That's not the name of the movie. 8 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.159 It's a book. Yo, yo, yo, yo yo. We're 9 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.959 doing DaVinci Code. You know what's so funny? We uh yeah, we're 10 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.319 doing Dvince Code. Finally we we I mean I read this book like probably 11 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.359 a year ago now, because you were telling me, like, bro, 12 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.079 super good, super good. Yeah, like if you want a page turner 13 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.560 that is extremely occult and esoteric, like read the da Vinci Code. I 14 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.159 think you were telling me for months like, bro, you will love it 15 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.680 all this stuff. I don't remember exactly what the final like catalyst for me 16 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.560 doing it was. Oh yeah, we we've talked about it on the show, 17 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.560 that's right, Yeah, we talked about it on the show Forever ago, 18 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.159 and then all of a sudden, I received two copies of it in 19 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.680 the mail, like one from one person and then one from Casey's dad, 20 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.200 and yeah, and so I was like, Okay, I guess I can 21 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.120 read it now. And I read it, and you were not lying, 22 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.319 my guy. That is that's like one of the most gripping books I've ever 23 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.359 read. Yeah, It's like, forget what it's even about. It's just 24 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.400 the way that it's written is like every chapter ends when you're like, oh, 25 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.240 I can't stop. Like it ends on an action point, dude, 26 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.080 every time, even like even the way that the book starts. I was 27 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.479 like, it got me immediately, dude. You know, And we're gonna 28 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.360 try not to like spoil too much. If you guys still want to go 29 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.520 out and watch it or read it, oh yeah, but if I would 30 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.319 better, Yeah, for sure, I would recommend like reading the book. 31 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.800 I've you know, I've been like talk to a lot of people who have 32 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.000 read the book and then also watched the movie. The general consensus, like 33 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.919 that I seem to be picking up on is that people don't people that have 34 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.759 read the book don't really fuck with the movie. Yeah, the movie was. 35 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:47.120 I mean, for all intents and purposes, it was kind of like 36 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:52.240 a critical flop, like it's just not a really good it didn't perform. 37 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.319 Well. Now they're just rated like twenty five percent. Yeah, I mean 38 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.800 the book's virtually always going to be better. Yeah. Yeah, but but 39 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.199 in this case, it really you know, honestly, I didn't mind the 40 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.240 movie. I didn't think it was like bad bad. I put a lot 41 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.199 of thought into it while I was watching it last night, and like, 42 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.039 I feel like it's because yeah, exactly, it's a good movie. Like 43 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.400 I literally just watched it last night for the first time, watching it, 44 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.039 you know, through, and I was like, you know, this is 45 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.840 actually good, like I expected it to be terrible. I just think it's 46 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.719 probably something to do with the fact that the majority of this book is like 47 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.639 high level intellectual material, right, and that doesn't really translate, it doesn't 48 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.280 translate into the film exactly. Yeah, because like a lot of the stuff 49 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.800 that's like dang it is like it's knowledge, it's information, yeah, you 50 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.240 know, and there's there's a couple of little gunfight type things, but it's 51 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.199 really not the point of it. No. I agree, Like the all 52 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.280 the parts of the book that made me get really really hype. Were like 53 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.879 like, you know, them talking about some ancient civilization or something ancient you 54 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.120 know, organization ever where I'm like, whoa, they're talking about that, 55 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.479 but they can't really show that in the movie, and the movie they do, 56 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.240 but it's like it's like the delivery is a little cheesy, you know. 57 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.280 I honestly think this story is just the format that fits it best is 58 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.920 it is a book. It's because everything stretched out further, so they set 59 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.360 up things you know that might you might not find out for a while because 60 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.519 you're reading it and it takes longer. But in the movie it's a lot 61 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.480 of chapters two ten minutes. There's like one hundred plus chapters. So yeah, 62 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.680 this this book is, this book is incredible and essentially what it's about 63 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.000 is there's this uh he's a symbologist, right, Yeah, he's like a 64 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:44.120 world renown professor of symbology. Yeah, world renowned press professor. Starts off, 65 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.000 he's like doing his book tour signing and doing the right conference thing. 66 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.160 Yeah, and he's just like in uh Europe in Paris, yep, and 67 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.240 he's just doing his thing. Where it's a sequel, right, the first 68 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:01.639 thing is God, what's it called Angels and Demons? Right? Well, 69 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.120 Angels and Demons is the sequel of this, isn't it. I thought it 70 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.120 was the other way around. I don't know, it doesn't really matter, 71 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.319 right, Yeah, yeah, it's like there are multiple Actually, Dan Brown 72 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.879 has written multiple novels with the same main character. What's his name, Dan 73 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.959 Brown? Robert Langdon, Yeah, Robert, that's right, that's right, 74 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:23.560 Yeah, Robert Langdon is in. I read another one, Demons Inferno. 75 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.879 There's that one you read about the Loss Freemasonry. Yeah, I forget what 76 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.800 it was called. It was honestly pretty forgettable. Angels and Demons is before 77 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.040 Da Vinci Code. It's about the illuminato Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code, 78 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:41.319 the Lost Symbols, symbol, and origin. I've only read Da Vinci 79 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.199 Code and Lost Symbol, Lost Symbol is the sequel to this, and it 80 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.879 was honestly pretty forgettable. I found that it kind of followed the exact same 81 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.000 formula as Da Vinci Code, and when I realized that, it kind of 82 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.040 lost a lot of its luster. But anyway, just to give you guys 83 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.000 an idea of what the you know, I don't want to because we're we're 84 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.360 planning on really die deep into kind of the occult stuff that's talked about in 85 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.759 this book. Why it was so controversial, you know, like like get 86 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.120 into the nitty gritty of stuff like that. But I do think maybe we 87 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.040 breathe by the plot real quick, just so you yeah, what's happening. 88 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.279 I think like there's there's a few elements to this story. I forget it's 89 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.959 being a book or a movie. It's a story, right, Yeah, 90 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.319 And there's a few elements to it that make it so groundbreaking and so high 91 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.160 level. In my opinion, it's like, yeah, the first element of 92 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.800 any story, which is the storytelling, right, So the storytelling is just 93 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.879 superb. I mean it's like I had to read this in I think it 94 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.120 was freshman year of college, which was twelve years ago, and yeah, 95 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.839 I like wasn't thrilled about it, but I was like whatever, you know, 96 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.040 had to do it for an assignment. And I found that every night 97 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.360 when I had to read through like my assigned chapters to pace through, I 98 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.800 ended up reading five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten more 99 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.360 And I couldn't stop. And I finished the book in like two days. 100 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.759 Yeah, know, like I just was addicted. It's it's it's such a 101 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.800 well paced story. It's the way that it's the way that chapters are organized 102 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.639 large because some chapter there's a there are multiple chapters in there that are one 103 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.959 page, yeah, and they just they end on It's it's like this, 104 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.560 it's like okay, you know, someone rolls up hops out the suburban. 105 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.360 He points the gun, and then it's like end. It's like no, 106 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.879 it can't get here, like you gotta you gotta keep going. It's always 107 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.240 ending on an action point, and they have multiple plot points going on at 108 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.079 one time, all with action points that you're like patiently waiting for to see 109 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.839 what happened next. So it's it honestly plays out a lot like one piece. 110 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.079 Like you know, there's like three fights going on and they'll leave you 111 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.480 a cliffhanger for this's like multiple secret societies that are warring for like this information. 112 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.600 So then that's the element number two that makes it so high level. 113 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:55.920 Is aside from just like general storytelling, the material that's being worked with here 114 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.160 is very profound, like a cult information. Like actually I was exposed to 115 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.519 a lot of this stuff for the first time from this book, which is 116 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.879 crazy. I mean By the time I had read it, I had you 117 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.160 know, we had already been doing this show, so I had known a 118 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.519 good bit of it. But I think I think reading this book was the 119 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:20.079 first time that it clicked with me that like, wait, there are there 120 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.079 are tons of other highly intelligent people that know about this stuff and are even 121 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.120 writing fiction about it like it. It kind of clicked with me that like, 122 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.879 oh, this is more ubiquitous than I thought it was. This is 123 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.559 more you know, whatever than I thought it was. But so we decided 124 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.519 on the phone yesterday that because the story itself is so good, but also 125 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.159 because like the high level material is is this like occult knowledge that exists outside 126 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.919 of the story, Like it's it's pulling from very real, esoteric knowledge, 127 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.679 most of which we have talked on the show. We're just gonna like hit 128 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.480 those points. But I really feel like it should still be read, or 129 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.639 you know, if you don't care to read books, it should still be 130 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.720 watched, although you should understand I won't have the same impact, yeah for 131 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.200 sure. But yeah, yeah, we don't really want to like spoil the 132 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.679 story too much. I think we just kind of wanted to hop into the 133 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.919 stuff that it's like we'll talk about the reveals, but still leave the story 134 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.960 up to like you should experience how it plays out, absolutely, you know, 135 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.200 because it's a great story. Yeah and yeah, and you tell me 136 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.519 if I'm spoiling too much and if I need to dial back. But one 137 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.120 of the things that really grip me early early in the book, this is 138 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.480 one of the first things that happens, is the crime scene in the louver. 139 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.200 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's it's worth saying, like, we're 140 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.440 going to very generally spoil this story. Yeah there. You know. The 141 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.879 point is, we're not gonna focus very hard on the story, right, 142 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.000 you know, we're gonna we're gonna breeze past it. That's yeah, what 143 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.200 I'm trying to say. But so so basically, yeah, there's this crime. 144 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.159 The main character, Robert Langdon, he's doing a seminar. Yeah, 145 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.559 he's doing a semin are and somebody comes to his hotel room. No, 146 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.279 no, no, they come to him while he's signing books at the seminar. 147 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.360 Oh that's right, right, that's right. Yeah, and they roll 148 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.960 up. Well, I think is that how it is in the movie the 149 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.399 movie, I think it's different in the book. I'm pretty sure they wake 150 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.159 him up in the middle of the night. Oh okay, so I haven't 151 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.080 read the book in twelve Yeah, I watched the movie last night. Nick 152 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.960 recently read the book, so we're kind of cross referencing here. Yeah, 153 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.519 I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they literally they just like came up to 154 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.919 his hotel room in the middle of the night. But anyway, yeah, 155 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.919 he gets uh he gets approached by the police and they're like, you're needed 156 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:39.559 at the Louver like now, and he's like, huh, like what what 157 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.159 if you don't know? The Louver is like one of the biggest, most 158 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.519 appreciated uh Art museums in the entire world. It's where the Mona Lise is. 159 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.279 Yeah, it's it's where I saw them. A lot of a lot 160 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.720 of da Vinci's work is there. You can go and see it. Uh 161 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.399 So, anyway, they're like, we need you at the Louver. There's 162 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.679 been a I don't know if they told him immediately was a it was a 163 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.120 m in the movie they did, Okay, they showed him a picture. 164 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.000 Okay, like that need you and then so what's in the picture? What's 165 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.200 on there? Right? It was a it was a dead body on the 166 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.960 picture. It was a dead body and on its like torso had been carved 167 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.080 like with a blade, with a blade a pentagram or a pentacle, you 168 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.080 know. And so Robert Langdon, being a professor of symbology, was like, 169 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:33.600 uh what And also it's worth saying that the body was it was spread 170 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.480 out in a Vitruvian man stance, like it looked like the body had been 171 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:46.039 posed. But he posed himself exactly and that's what interested Langdon. He he 172 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.279 saw that the body was posed, but then he also saw that the way 173 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.600 that it was carved could only have been like done by him. And he 174 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.840 was like, how did this guy? Like did this guy kill himself and 175 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.360 pose himself? Like this doesn't make sense. So he's like, okay, 176 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:01.840 I guess I gotta go check it out. What he doesn't know is they 177 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.879 suspect that he did it, right because he's this professor of you know, 178 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:13.120 symbology whatever. Uh so, yeah, that was that was the first thing 179 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.159 that really grabbed me. Well there's another reveal there. Why you think they 180 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.039 that? Why they the cops think that he did it? Which do you 181 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.320 remember? It's because the cop was part of Opus day. Oh of course, 182 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.600 right. He got a call saying he did it. Get in there 183 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.080 and get in the confessor, right exactly. There are multiple like shadow organizations 184 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.639 working at play, or maybe not shadow organizations, but multiple organizations. You 185 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.919 got opis Day. You have the Knights Templar, Priory of Sion, the 186 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.080 Priory of Zion. Those are the three main and the Prior of Zion and 187 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.559 the Knights Templar are like they're like connected, yeah, but they're like separate 188 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.559 entities, which is crazy. I didn't know until I read the book and 189 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.559 did research afterwards or whatever. Opus Day is a real is a real organization 190 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.320 technically always priory of Scion, right, but not as it exists in the 191 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.639 movie. Right. I was going to go into that. I wrote that 192 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.879 down as well, that the priority of Scion is like very it's nineteen fifty 193 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.279 six. Yeah, it wasn't even really worth going into in the in this 194 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.240 episode because because in reality it's rosa cruc But you know, Opus Day, 195 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.840 while it is slightly exaggerated in the film and the book, it's actually a 196 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.759 real thing, and they are they are kind of like scrutinized by the Catholic 197 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.080 Church for for the same reasons they are in the story. But they're just 198 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.799 maybe not as extreme, you know, like the self mutilation stuff, and 199 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.879 it's it's it's kind of like a like a Catholic cult. It's like a 200 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:52.240 culti sect of Catholicism, just like in the Divinia Code exactly exactly, but 201 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.240 it's it's represented way more extreme in the Dvinci Code though. I hunt down 202 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.919 people with weapons, yeah, assassinating people. Yeah. So okay, yeah, 203 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.320 that's kind of your first hint in the in the story that like there's 204 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.240 something kind of there's something very significant going on here because when Langdon goes and 205 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:18.759 inspects the body, he finds he finds so many weird coincidences and weird synchronicities 206 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.960 and symbols and all of this stuff around the body. He even finds where 207 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.200 did he find the message? There was a message written. It was beside 208 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.279 the body, but it was like they needed like a black light and there 209 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.080 was a message that said something like it said s no I said PS yes 210 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:41.080 PostScript right, he like like a message PS find Robert Langdon. Right, 211 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.360 But which is why they they kind of like thought that Robert did it because 212 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.320 Robert Langdon is right. They thought maybe the victim knew that it was him 213 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:56.679 and wrote it down or whatever. But in reality, the guy who whose 214 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.559 body it was, Sony Air, wasn't that name Sonya, I think Sonye. 215 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.440 Yeah. I mean he did it himself, and he wrote all this 216 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.480 stuff down, and he wrote to find Robert Langdon because he knows that he's 217 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.440 like the most genius symbology expert in the world. But you find out that 218 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.759 the ps also was a secret, meaning it was Princess Sophie. Princess, 219 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.679 so he called his granddaughter Princess Sophie. Right. So at this point in 220 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.039 the movie, Sophie has already or in the book, Sophie has already showed 221 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.440 up, right, Yeah, she's on the crime scene because I guess she's 222 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.120 like somehow in the police force. She is, so she just kind of 223 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.639 likestigate her. Yeah, so she showed up on the scene and kind of 224 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.080 like bluff that she was involved. Cryptology is what she does. Cryptology, 225 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.759 you know, like like codes and stuff like that, right, right, 226 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.519 Yeah, I forgot about that part. So that makes sense because she's trying 227 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.440 to crack the codex s exactly. I missed that the beginning. Yeah, 228 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.720 she's she works on the force in the cryptology department whatever. Yeah, so 229 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.480 she's there, and it's just it's just getting crazy. It's you know, 230 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.840 it's not worth going too into right now as far as the plot goes, 231 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.279 because I don't want to spoil anything. But there's a lot of symbols to 232 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.440 discuss. A lot. Yeah, So first of all, the pentacle and 233 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:10.080 they talk about they talk about like the original origin, like the origin of 234 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.600 the pinnacle, the true meaning of the pinnacle. By the way, this 235 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:18.240 is just a little aside. Sophie, her name is the it's the Greek 236 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.200 word for knowledge or wisdom. Well, it's also like the Gnostic Sophia, 237 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.360 the goddess exactly, exactly, Yeah, same exact thing. So this is 238 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.879 a quote actually from the book. This whole story is about Oh shit, 239 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.120 I lost my page. This whole story is about the existence of the goddess 240 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.480 and the divine Mother. Yeah, this is a quote from the book. 241 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.639 Early religion was based on the divine order of nature. The goddess Venus and 242 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.000 the planet Venus were one and the same. The goddess had a place in 243 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.039 the nighttime sky and was known by many names. Venus the Eastern star is 244 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:55.720 Star, as Stark, Astarte, as Startey, all of them powerful female 245 00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.720 concepts with ties to nature and Mother Earth? Did you also know this? 246 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.559 Is this I never knew and really really blew my mind. Did you know 247 00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:11.799 that, like Venus and Earth, the way that they orbit one another every 248 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:18.000 I think three hundred and sixty five days make it a perfect pentagram. No, 249 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.720 I didn't know that. It's the most insane thing I've ever seen. 250 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:26.920 I looked it up. It's like, that's too that's just too weird. 251 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.880 You know, that's eerie like Venus. You know, Venus is going all 252 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:37.279 the way around Earth and then there's a it's it's making a star in the 253 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.359 middle of the circle like justice, or maybe it was Pythagoras said, it's 254 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.119 the harmony of the spheres man like, it's the macrocaus and the celestial bodies. 255 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.559 There's a frequency and an order and a song and a dance to it. 256 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:55.480 It's very precise. It's it's it's impossible to exist without some sort of 257 00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:00.279 intelligent mind thinking it into reality. Yeah, it's like, uh, you 258 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.640 know the pentacle. If you look at the you know, pinnacle or pentagram 259 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:10.519 whatever the circle on the outside represents I believe the masculine energy and then the 260 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.559 pinnacle itself on the inside with the five points is the feminine energy. I 261 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.960 believe that's how it was explained. Usually things with lines and points are more 262 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.720 masculine and the rounded edges. Yeah yeah, maybe, Oh that makes sense 263 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.559 because look at the Vitruvian man. It's the man in the middle making the 264 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.599 star with his you know, body, and then there's a circle around him. 265 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.480 But that also makes sense with the male and female body, doesn't it, 266 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.599 where men have typically more broader shoulders with a narrow, triangled waist, 267 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.039 where women are more curvy. Yeah, it's by design. It's the same 268 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.000 with symbology. It's the more rounded soft shapes or feminine like the circles and 269 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.640 things like that, and then you have triangles and lines are more masculine. 270 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:56.359 Yeah that makes sense. Yeah. And so also in the book so Sognier, 271 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.599 Soignier, whatever is Sophie's who is the cryptologist? Her grandfather? You 272 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.240 know, you find that out at some point through the through the book, 273 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.359 I like pretty much minutes later she pulls she pulls them in the bathroom. 274 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.000 She's like, that's my grandfather. There after you we need to get out 275 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.720 of here, you know. So there there was there was something I wanted 276 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.640 to say there. So we're moving again. We're breezing through the plot. 277 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.880 So okay, so we're getting to a point to where the police that were 278 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.039 kind of like after them, trying to get him on the murder, even 279 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.000 though he had no clue about it and he had nothing to do with it. 280 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.079 So we're just we're getting past the part. They're gone, right, 281 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:34.920 So they're dealt with. They had a little ruse to get him out of 282 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:41.039 there. So now the main characters, Robert and Sophie, they are still 283 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.079 in the museum because they kind of like had a distraction and they got the 284 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.359 police to leave. You know, remember that she out the window, went 285 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.559 in the truck and they're gone. So they're alone in the museum now. 286 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.000 So they go back to the body and they start looking at all the clues 287 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.240 and they find that it's an anagram. Remember I don't remember what it said, 288 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.640 but it was like the long con of man is dark or something like 289 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.359 that. Minute specifically said like da Vinci the mona Lisa exactly. It was 290 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.920 an anagram for yeah, da Vinci, right, Leonardo DaVinci, mona Lisa 291 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.160 whatever. The writing was, yeah, And it was the Fibonacci sequence. 292 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.960 Remember that's another big one a bit the first time I ever came into contact 293 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.720 with that. Really. Yeah. Okay, so they're like, oh, 294 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.640 shoot, he was leading us to the Mona Lisa. Yeah. So they 295 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.160 go to the Mona Lisa and they start like they start explaining, or Robert 296 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.279 starts explaining some of the like esoteric history behind Leonardo da Vinci, how he 297 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.480 was involved with. I don't know if he comes right out and says the 298 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.880 priory of Sion yet, but he does at some point, so I'm just 299 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.720 gonna say he did. Either way, we'll explain that. So he says, 300 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.480 you know, he's explaining how there's this like esoteric symbology behind da Vinci's 301 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.640 art, and he's like, look at the left side of the Mona Lisa's 302 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:57.920 face, it's proportionally bigger. They were always in ancient times showing the left 303 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.480 side to be bigger than the right. And then he said it was veneration 304 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:10.920 of the femininity because historically the left side was considered female and the right side 305 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.000 was considered male. Now I want to pause there for a second. That's 306 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.480 a really deep statement because that's also like the Eyes of Horace and Raw where 307 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.559 the right eye is the eye of raw, it's that active solar power. 308 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.839 And then the left eye is the eye of Horus, it's that lunar power. 309 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.160 Or I've been really getting into pronayama lately, which is like alternate nostril 310 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:40.279 breathing. It's like Hindu biovetic science, you know, and like there's this 311 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:48.200 technique called the naughty the Nati Shodhana pronayama, which is this subtle energy channel 312 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.839 purification breathing technique where the idea is that the right nostril again the right side 313 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:59.920 is masculine solar and the left side is feminine lunar. Right, so it's 314 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:04.279 like you're stimulating the different nostrils to breathe, and there's evidence that shows that 315 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.160 it impacts the central nervous system, right, like when you're regulating the flow 316 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.640 between both nostrils. Modern science shows that I know this, I'm going to 317 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:17.759 bring it back to the monosa thing. But modern science even shows that at 318 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.920 any given point during the day, whether you're conscious of it or not, 319 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:27.920 you're actually dominantly breathing heavier and one nostril and it alternates throughout the day subconsciously. 320 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.440 I've noticed that though first you don't have control over it. It's just 321 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:38.000 automatically, depending on your mental state, you're predominantly breathing through an alternate nostril. 322 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.920 So the ancient iovetic yogis were like, well, we can regulate that 323 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.039 and bring it into balance by curing the energy channels and for a set amount 324 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:52.240 of time consciously breathing through both to regulate that. But my point is there's 325 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.200 so many different cultures and so many different spiritual practices throughout the world in ancient 326 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:03.759 times where this unifying concept existed that the right side, the right eye of 327 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.880 raw, the you know, the solar breathing, the esoteric symbology and painting 328 00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.720 through the rosicrucians, and YadA YadA YadA, masculine and feminine, yin and 329 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.039 yang. This concept has always existed. Yeah, it's across every practice, 330 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.559 right, you know, and it's it's just it's mind blowing. But yeah, 331 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:26.519 so in this very like beginning portion of this story, you already are 332 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.519 getting dumping this on you. Oh yeah, I mean they are not making 333 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.000 it, koy, They're not hiding it. This dude is sprawled out in 334 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.640 a a Truvian man with a pinnacle on his chest, with crypt like a 335 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:44.680 cryptic symbology written beside him. He's sending them on a goose chase, all 336 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.839 this stuff, and you know, you still at this point have no clue 337 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.119 why this is happening, Like, you still don't know why. You know 338 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.960 that they're kind of figuring out some clues and pointers, but you have no 339 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.160 idea, like why is this happening? You know, it's not until pretty 340 00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.039 significant, it's pretty far in. It's pretty far in. Yeah. So 341 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:11.200 I don't remember when they mentioned about like Da Vinci being Priory of Scion or 342 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.720 Isaac Newton or pretty early on. So yeah, so as as they started 343 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.839 investigating the murder, and then they go to the Mona Lisa and then they 344 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.519 get the black lic thing, they find more evidence, and then you know, 345 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.880 they go to another painting. I think it's like something on the Rocks, 346 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.720 Madonna on the Rocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and they keep 347 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.240 finding these clues to go to like other paintings or whatever. But eventually, 348 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:41.119 after they leave the museum, the professor Robert gets wise and he asks Sophie, 349 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.160 He's like, as your grandfather ever mentioned something called the priory of Sion 350 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.759 to you? And she's like, you know, clueless. I don't know, 351 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.519 you know, I haven't talked to him in twenty years. But you 352 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.559 know, come to find out, when she was little, she walked in 353 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.640 on them having some sort of sex ritual, right, so like traumatized in 354 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:02.920 like his basement or something like that. It was somewhere in his yard. 355 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.400 Yeah, I mean not in the yard, but like in a building in 356 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.640 the yard. Yeah, you're supposed to walk in there, and yeah, 357 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.519 it traumatizes her because she's so confused and it seems like weird. It is 358 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.920 like some weird tantric ritual, right, right, come to find out, 359 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.519 of course it was like harmless. They weren't. Actually it wasn't anything dangerous 360 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.079 or it was just a celebration of the divine, masculine and feminine, you 361 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.480 know what, that sort of thing. But to her, like she's like 362 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.960 nine years old, to her child, she's just traumatized. So she grows 363 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.119 up and she she never you know, never really talks to him ever again. 364 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.279 Yeah, but you know, come to find out he he was the 365 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.279 grand Master. Yeah it was. Yeah. So that's that's the whole point. 366 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.160 Just just breezing through the plot again, it's like the whole premise here 367 00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.559 is it's like a murder mystery crime thriller where this guy Robert is just this 368 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:55.319 innocent professor who's extremely high level esoteric symbologist. Yeah, and he's just kind 369 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.880 of like yanked into this world trying to solve the riddle left behind from the 370 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.240 Grandmaster. So he's like following these clues. But like it's really cool because 371 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.720 without saying like how he finds them or what necessarily happens or the betrayals or 372 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.799 the character deaths and this, that and the other, the clues that he 373 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:18.359 does find are very dense with esoteric symboloic begnificance. Like, for example, 374 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.039 you know, the Priory of Scion, as explained in the Da Vinci Code, 375 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.119 as it's explained, does not exist in real life, right, you 376 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.200 know, like we said Priory of Scion was created in like nineteen fifty six 377 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.039 or something like that. Yeah, but you know, just think out of 378 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.720 the box a little bit. If you actually read the story, he comes 379 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:47.039 right out the character and he says that Sir Isaac Newton was the leader of 380 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:52.720 the Priory of Sion, which very interesting. There's a lot of evidence that 381 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:57.000 shows the fact that Isaac Newton it's not like one hundred percent confirmed, but 382 00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:03.000 there's more evidence as always being found. Isaac Newton and Da Vinci were both 383 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.240 actually members of the Masons. Rosicrucians. Oh sorry, yes, that's what 384 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.240 I mean. That's that's the point, which, dude, think even further 385 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.680 about it. What's the symbol on the cryptics? Yeah, so like we 386 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.160 we know that they're referencing, and they do reference the Masons. It's funny 387 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:25.400 because it's almost like the book just takes priory of scion and kind of makes 388 00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:30.200 that affront for Rosicrucians exact because everything they say about the priory of sion in 389 00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.160 the book is like, is real knowledge, real rosic Yes, so I 390 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.599 think Dan Brown, like, you know, it's like he added a faulty 391 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.480 chain there to give like a layer of separation. Separation. Yeah, but 392 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.799 it's very obviously, I mean, straight up it's Rosicrucis. Dude. He's 393 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.160 literally as like Sir Isaac Newton was a leader he talks about and there's a 394 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.680 lot of like Masonic literature in here too. I have a bookmark part I'm 395 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.440 gonna read a little bit o sweet later. Yeah. But so so I 396 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.279 mean essentially, uh yeah, you you go through, you find out that 397 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.039 the the grandfather is the grand Master. They keep getting led to all this 398 00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:10.359 different stuff. They go to this bank to where the grandfather Sonier has like 399 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:15.359 this special vault box. Yeah. They go to this super high tech like 400 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.079 lockdown. Yeah. I think it was called the Swift Swiss vault or something 401 00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.839 like that. Anyway, they go there, they figure out the Grandpa's password, 402 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:27.079 they get in, which was the Fibonacci sequence it was, which is 403 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:32.200 esoteric in its own right, super because it's like the formula of life, 404 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:37.240 right Yeah, it's like how where everything gets that's golden frequency, right that 405 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.920 I learned about that from the first time ever from this book really, which 406 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.720 is funny because Dad included Fibonacci in his book. That's amazing. Yeah. 407 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.400 So and then they find in the lock box. The only thing in there 408 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.880 was a crypt x rhich. If you don't know what a cryptex is, 409 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.680 it's like this, it's essentially there. It can take many different forms, 410 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:03.480 but it's like a physical like puzzle slash. It was a da Vinci invention, 411 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.160 right, Yeah. And the specific one that da Vinci designed is very 412 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.720 similar to the one that's used in uh the book and movie of Da Vinci 413 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.880 code. It's like this like cylinder kind of thing. It's got like papyrus 414 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.440 wrapped up in the middle of it with like some secret message. But it 415 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.240 has a little glass vial of vinegar. So if you try to like force 416 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.720 the codex open, it'll break viral shatter and it'll destroy the document. So 417 00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.119 you got to have a precise password spending these dials with letters on it or 418 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:36.440 symbols. And yeah, so, like the majority of the book, they're 419 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:37.799 trying to figure out what the password. I don't remember what the password is, 420 00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.759 but I don't either, But hey, that's good because we can't. 421 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.839 We won't spoil it for them. Yeah, but yeah, so a big 422 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.920 reveal there is when they find the codex. This is about I don't I 423 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.880 don't know in terms of the book, but in the movie it's about halfway 424 00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.279 through, it's fine, decently far through, and they get the codec and 425 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.119 the symbol on it, which is a major plot reveal because there's been no 426 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.079 mention of a rose yet at this point. But when Robert Langton grabs it, 427 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.160 he's like holy shit, you know, like his reaction. It's a 428 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.599 rose. It's a five pedaled white rose. So check it out. A 429 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:22.319 rose is also a pentacle, a symbol of female reproductive power, a longitudinal 430 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.240 marker, a navigational symbol, and the Holy Grail itself and Dan Brown's universe. 431 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.799 This is what the rose represents, all of these things. It's many 432 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.880 incarnations make it a potent symbol. A rose adorns the wooden box containing the 433 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.880 keystone. Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man has laid out in a five pointed star pattern, 434 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:42.079 just like the five pointed pedal, the five pedaled rose, the pinnacle, 435 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:47.200 and the Venus star. In goddess cults and real human history, the 436 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:52.079 rose has close associations with femininity, the five pedals of the rose symbolizing the 437 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.319 five stations of female life, birth, menstruation, motherhood, menopause, and 438 00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:00.319 death. The rose is also associated with the goddess Venus like he said earlier, 439 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.880 whose functions include love, sex, and fertility. And then in the 440 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:08.119 movie, the rose line or in the book as well, the rose line 441 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.799 or the zero degree longitudinal line used for navigation, represents guidance, as navigators 442 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:19.519 use stars to chart their course. So I had another give me a second. 443 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:27.680 Okay, there's a church in Paris where this longitudinal line. It's called 444 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:34.319 the Arago meridian line. This is a real you know, like the Meridians, 445 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.160 you know, the lines runn across the planet or whatever. There's one 446 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:45.519 that runs through Paris that's like extremely significant to the whole longitude latitude system. 447 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.160 It's like one of the original calculations of this that was made by someone named 448 00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:55.119 Arago in the seventeen hundreds. There's like one hundred and thirty five different markers 449 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.039 in the city of Paris. You can see them on the street and it's 450 00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:02.480 like little gold plaques that that'll say like a Rago line, like you're crossing 451 00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:08.720 the line where the intersection of time zones and everything that's measured is separated right 452 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.480 here on the spot. It's you know what I'm saying, Like it's so 453 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.359 important to them that there's markers all over the city of Paris. But in 454 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:20.920 the book and in the movie, they don't call them the Aarrago meridian line. 455 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.759 They call them the Rose line. Yes, and they have like this 456 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:30.799 esoteric spin on it that it's like this basically so this the character remember Silas 457 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:35.960 the Ller, the albino monk, exactly. We haven't even talked about him 458 00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.519 there's a nun in that church and she's telling him. I just I ripped 459 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.599 a quote from the movie. She said, a rose line is any line 460 00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:46.240 that goes from the north to south poles set into the streets of Paris. 461 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:50.200 One hundred and thirty five brass markers, And this is true. I looked 462 00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:53.160 it up. One hundred and thirty five brass markers mark the world's very first 463 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.440 prime meridian, which passes through this very church. Again, it was calculated 464 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:04.440 in the seventeenth century, developed by an astronomer named Francois Arago in the nineteenth 465 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:13.519 century. So it's just crazy. Like there there's a lot of esoteric literature 466 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:19.759 and symbology in Paris that the movie covers, you know, like the the 467 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.160 formation of Freemasonry, the whole the Louver and we haven't even talked about that 468 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.039 yet, but there's right, yeah, you know the two pyramid thing, 469 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.440 yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, Roslyn Chapel, which I 470 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.880 do think that was in Scotland. But you know, Freemasons were founded in 471 00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.039 France. I did not, yep, I didn't. There's the French Freemasons 472 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:43.240 who brought us a statue of liberty. Wow, dude, and I wonder 473 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.720 when, because I was part of my research during this was trying to find 474 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:57.200 any proof or evidence that would suggest when the Knights Templar became the Freemasons. 475 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.079 I'm not exactly sure, right, I was then the freemason started. Let 476 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.519 me look it up, Yeah, I was. I was trying to look 477 00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.400 it up and find it. And I mean, there's a lot of compelling 478 00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:12.400 evidence that you know, there are there are I here, actually I think 479 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.920 I wrote it down. There's all kinds of eyewitness accounts. Actually I might 480 00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:24.239 be wrong, Freemasonrly, freemasonry might not have started in France where they're saying 481 00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:30.559 that it could have just generally emerged out of stone masonry guilds in the Middle 482 00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:35.360 Ages, like, not necessarily from a particular country. Some people say England. 483 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:39.280 I don't know. Yeah, I'm seeing organized in seventeen seventeen in England. 484 00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:44.079 So then the uh, it'd be hundreds of years after the Templars died, 485 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:50.239 right, So then the attack that happened on Friday the thirteenth, what 486 00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.119 I mean, what city did that attack? Was that out of the Vatican. 487 00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:58.480 I'm not sure where. I mean, I know it happened in France, 488 00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.360 but I don't write because so here's the thing, there are multiple there 489 00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:08.000 are many eyewitness accounts from that time, from right around that date, even 490 00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:14.079 as close to that date as the very like week that that attack happened, 491 00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:19.320 of people in Scotland specifically, that's where the most eyewitness accounts come from, 492 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:28.920 seeing templar ships like like seeking refuge and landing in Scotland. Wow, there 493 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.880 are many eyewitness accounts of Now I'm confused because I feel like I've heard that 494 00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.880 freemasonry started in Scotland and what do I know? Right, I'm not sure, 495 00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:38.719 but it is significant in France. It's significant in France, it's significant 496 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:44.159 in Scotland. You have Scottish righte freemasonry, Yeah, you have. Which 497 00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:49.079 also it's like, think about the the whole involvement of the Grail, like 498 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.880 a lot of those legends come from. Let's get into that, because we 499 00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:53.519 haven't. That's the most important part of the book and we haven't even mentioned 500 00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:59.639 it. So you find out through there, through the two main characters searching 501 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.360 that the true mystery that they're trying to unveil, the true mystery that the 502 00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:08.360 priory of Scion was after and Opus Day is after and the knights Templar were 503 00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:14.599 after and all these players. It's about the Holy Grail. But in this 504 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:21.480 story, which by the way, is based on many real publications where this 505 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:25.559 was theorized many I have them written down, many real publications, that the 506 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:34.280 Holy Grail was actually Mary Magdalen and her location of the location of her tomb, 507 00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:37.559 well more so her bloodline, that's what I mean, right, her 508 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:42.039 children, but her decision. If you find the body, then you can 509 00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:45.559 prove the lineage. But this, yeah, but this, this is a 510 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.760 real This is not just like made up by this book. Like. This 511 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.880 is a real esoteric belief. And it goes so far as to call it 512 00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.800 the Merovingian bloodline exactly. I wrote about the Maravingians. So let's see. 513 00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:00.199 Do you remember in uh it was either the Matrix two or three, a 514 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:06.360 character the Maravingian you remember wait? Oh yeah, oh my god, Okay, 515 00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.039 I think it was Matrix three. I can't remember, so let's see. 516 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:15.280 Yeah. Part of the legend cites the Maravingian dynasty, which ruled France 517 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.960 from the fifth to the eighth century, and which was descended from Jesus Christ 518 00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.159 and his wife Mary Magdalene. It was passed down through a secret bloodline called 519 00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:28.840 the Sangreal, which is mentioned plenty in the book, which like translates to 520 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.960 like royal bloodline or something like that. Yeah. Maravnian kings were also known 521 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:37.199 as holy Kings and were considered invested with divine authority, as they supposedly has 522 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:44.039 had the holy blood of Jesus Christ in their veins. This story originated in 523 00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:49.559 the twelfth century book perceval Or The Tale of the Grail. That's the full 524 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.639 title, perceval Or The Tale of the Great They also make reference I'm sorry 525 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.559 to cut, but they also make very subtle reference, at least in the 526 00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:57.639 movie. Again, it has been a while since I've read the book, 527 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:00.559 but they make very subtle reference in passing the the King Arthur Grail myth. 528 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:07.039 Yes, but instead of being check this. At one point in the movie, 529 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.360 Robert says, when they're talking to the Ian McKellen character, you remember, 530 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:15.960 yes, the older t T being Ting, it's t Lee t being 531 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:21.360 or something. Yeah, professor right, he's like the fanatical expert of the 532 00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.760 Secret Society or whatever. Yep, yeah, yeah. Prior to sign they're 533 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.440 talking to him and you know this girl, Sophie keep in mind to the 534 00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:31.599 audience, listening. She has no clue of this esoteric shit because she hated 535 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:37.159 it because she walked in on her grandpa conducting like a ritual, yeah, 536 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.880 like literally like a ritual sex magic thing when she was a little girl. 537 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:43.719 So she ran away. She never came back, so she didn't want anything 538 00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.480 to do with any of it. And she's typical like traumatized, like I 539 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.960 hate history, I don't care about any of this, you know, just 540 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.039 get to the point whatever. So there's a lot of dialogue where they're kind 541 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:58.360 of like they're teaching the viewer or the reader by teaching Sophie, you see 542 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:00.800 what I'm saying. There's a lot of this dialogue being expounded to Sophie. 543 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:06.039 So there's one point where they're explaining to her with the most ancient icons for 544 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.000 God are or for like you know, male and female, and it's like 545 00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:13.960 known as the blade, the upward keep in mind the blade, right, 546 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.960 the upward pointed triangle, and then the chalice, the grail, which is 547 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.400 the downward pointed triangle, which is the womb, you know, and you 548 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.239 have the upward pointed one. What's that like the obelisk, the sword of 549 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:30.239 Arthur, and the stone right, the Hammer of Thor or the hammer of 550 00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:35.880 freemasonry is this phallic, masculine, powerful object. But then you have the 551 00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:43.079 womb or the grail, the chalice. It contains the holy blood of life 552 00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.000 for children or whatever like exactly. But but what do you get when you 553 00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:51.679 but also what if you merge them? What symbol? Do you get a 554 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.519 six pointed star like this? Yes? Yes, you take the upward pointing 555 00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:58.880 triangle and the downward pointing triangle and you merge them, you get the six 556 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.320 pointed star, which is you know, and the cool thing is in the 557 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:06.039 book while you're reading it, they they're explaining all of this, and then 558 00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:10.440 they'll actually put in like little pictures of it, like of the the two 559 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:15.039 triangles like overlapping and becoming the six points. I just saw it when I 560 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:16.960 flipped through really book. Yeah, I literally just saw it. That was 561 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:20.280 one of the coolest parts for me because it's like, yeah, there it 562 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.199 is right there, right here. They can't see. That was a mind. 563 00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:25.239 I mean, this thing is like showing you symbols start this book. 564 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:28.519 It's really cool. Yeah, you can see it. Yeah. So that 565 00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:32.280 whole previous paragraph before it is talking about it is basically exactly what Ryan was 566 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:37.320 just saying, how the upward triangle is masculine, the bottom one, the 567 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.559 lower facing one, is feminine. And then it just shows you the symbol 568 00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:42.679 and you're like, oh, you know who else told me that? In 569 00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.719 person? Who? Tim Taylor? Really? The Department of Defense. Yeah, 570 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.719 that was when I first realized that the people in the CIA and in 571 00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:54.360 these high level intelligence societies. Oh dude, I just opened up to a 572 00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:59.119 heavy hitting passage. All that thought, Okay, but anyway, Yeah, 573 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:01.400 so Tim Taylor, he came around twenty thirteen. He started talking to us. 574 00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.840 He had a shirt that had a or boris on it. He started 575 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.239 talking to me. Dude, I was like twenty. He started talking to 576 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.760 me about like sacred geometry, upward triangle, downward triangle being masculine and feminine, 577 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:14.480 merging them together. It's like God, the forces alife. I mean, 578 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:16.360 anyway, check this out. I just opened to a random passage. 579 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:22.960 These two pillars are the most duplicated architectural structures in history. Replicas exist all 580 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.880 over the world. They're at the Roslin Chapel, which is a real place. 581 00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:30.840 I think it's in Scotland. Replicas of Roslin. She looked skeptical, 582 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:36.199 no of the pillars. Do you remember earlier that I mentioned Roslin itself as 583 00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:39.400 a copy of Solomon's temple. Those two pillars are exact replicas of the two 584 00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:44.760 pillars that stood at the head of Solomon's temple. Langdon pointed to the pillar 585 00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:47.360 on the left that's called bo Az or the Mason's pillar. The other is 586 00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:52.320 called Jacquin, or the apprentice pillar. He paused, In fact, virtually 587 00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.800 every Masonic temple in the world has two pillars like these. Fun fact, 588 00:41:54.920 --> 00:42:00.440 the catacombs in France, they're painted on the doorways Boas and Jaquin. Oh 589 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.039 right, I have pictures. Yeah, yeah, that's so great. And 590 00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:08.079 then it said Langdon has already explained to her about the templar's powerful historic ties 591 00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:15.320 to the modern Masonic secret societies, whose primary degrees apprentice Freemason, fellowcraft Freemason, 592 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.280 and Master Mason harked back to early Templar days. Sophie's grandfather's final verse 593 00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:24.559 made direct reference to the master Masons who adorned Roblin Roblin Roblin Roslin with their 594 00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:29.639 carved artistic offerings. It also noted Roslyn's central ceiling, which was covered with 595 00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:34.519 carvings of stars, and planets check this out when they get to Rosslyn Chapel, 596 00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.119 often called the and this is a real place too. That's what's so 597 00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:39.239 good about this book is it's like it's got all this material, but it's 598 00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:43.760 like based on all real stuff. Yeah. And I would say like a 599 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.400 large portion of it is untainted, like real true history. But you know 600 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.360 they obviously flare something. It's dramatized. Yeah. So. Roslin Chapel, 601 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.800 often called the Cathedral of Codes, stands seven miles south of Edinburgh, Scotland, 602 00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:00.480 on the site of an ancient Mithraic temple built by the Knights Templar in 603 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.800 fourteen forty six. The chapel is engraved with the mind bogging arrays of symbols 604 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:08.159 from the Jewish, Christian, Egyptian, Masonic, and Pagan pagan traditions. 605 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.880 The chapel's geographic coordinates fall precisely on the north south meridian that runs through Glastonbury. 606 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:17.639 The longitudinal rose line is the traditional marker of King Arthur's Isle of Avalon 607 00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:22.239 and is considered the central pillar of Britain's sacred geometry. It is from this 608 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:28.000 hallowed rose line that Roslin originally spelled Roslin. It's just a different spelling texts 609 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:32.199 its name Roslind's Rugged Spiers were casting long evening shadows as Robert Langdon and Sophie 610 00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:36.039 Nevi. These are the characters of the book. Yeah, pulled their rental 611 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.519 car into the grassy parking area at the foot of the bluff. I believe 612 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.480 they were like lead here for the final piece of the mystery, because it 613 00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:49.480 was like Isaac Newton's gravesite or something something special about Isaac Newton right that he 614 00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:53.000 was Well, was it Isaac Newton's that they were trying to get to or 615 00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:57.119 was it? Yeah, because I'm looking for the apple, I think it's 616 00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:00.960 I think it's hey poop, pope poop. I think it's a pope. 617 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.199 Oh, what it is is they were looking for Sir Isaac Newton. But 618 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.079 what they didn't realize is he was buried by Alexander Pope, right, because 619 00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:13.239 the riddle said a pope buried by a pope, But it was a pope. 620 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:15.199 It was Alexander Pope right right. So then they get there and they 621 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.280 find the Apple of Eden, and they're looking at the grave side of Isaac 622 00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.599 Newton and it has all this esoteric symbology, heavy emphasis on it being orbs 623 00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:29.199 orbs of the celestial spheres of you know, the stars and the moon and 624 00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:32.280 the planets and stuff. But yeah, I wanted to read that chapel because 625 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:37.400 it's like that that chapter. Yeah, my brain is like it's going faster 626 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:44.199 because there's so much material here that's like again it's real world esoteric literature. 627 00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:49.639 It's just it's very mind blowing. Like I love the King Arthur, Shit, 628 00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.199 I do too. I got some stuff about that too, because it's 629 00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:57.320 unfolded that like they're trying to find the Holy Grail, and then it's also 630 00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:02.519 later it's then unfolded that What that means meanes is that that this is pointing 631 00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:09.760 them to the information of the lineage of Jesus Christ. This is suggesting that 632 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.480 Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene were actually in fact married and they had children, 633 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:21.760 and that bloodline exists to this day. And that's that's what they like kind 634 00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:29.440 of discover in the in the book. But that's actually heavily widely theorized in 635 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:36.679 other sort of thought, you know, like originally traditionally, the like kind 636 00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:39.119 of vanilla belief of the Holy Grail is just like, oh, it's the 637 00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:44.719 cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper, right, that was it. 638 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.039 But then also there's in a book called Merlin that was written in like 639 00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:54.719 the fourteen hundreds or even before that. Are Mathia is that it? Or 640 00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:00.639 is it Arimathea? I'm not sure. Matthia is in charge of guarding and 641 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:05.199 protecting the Holy Grail for those who are already familiar with Avalon the which is 642 00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.599 the place where King Arthur is apparently buried. You know, it's all legend, 643 00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:14.199 but apparently it's true. Other speculations say that Arthur himself was a direct 644 00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:21.159 descendant of Christ and was tutored by Aramathea, who was actually Merlin. You 645 00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:25.760 know, the book is called Merlin, but it's theorized that the author was 646 00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:31.119 actually Merlin himself, who is using a pseudonym like a different name Arimathea. 647 00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.719 So there's other speculations that Arthur is the blood line of Christ, even giving 648 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.199 rise to the legend of the sangreal royal blood, which is an alternative to 649 00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:47.000 the theory of the Chalice object. So even in in you know, King 650 00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:53.519 Arthur lore and legend, they there are certain you know, authors who write 651 00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:59.760 about King Arthur and say that that was the point of the Holy Grail. 652 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:05.320 It was actually a symbol. And then there's one more example written by so. 653 00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:10.960 According to the legend of Wolfram von Eskinbach, the grailstone was made of 654 00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:16.559 a substance called Lapis exillis or exile stone, which supposedly fell from the sky 655 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:21.119 in the form of a meteorite. This stone was the Grail's source of power 656 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:27.559 in life, and only those the exilestone Lapis exillis. Okay, why because 657 00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.800 I've I've also heard it said that that stone was moldivite. Well, check 658 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.280 this out, fell from space. Check this out. This stone was the 659 00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:37.400 Grail source of power in life, and only those who were pure in heart 660 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:43.400 and virtuous could approach it and use its powers. Which is almost identical to 661 00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:50.000 another famous stone. It's a story from like Asia. It's called the Chintomond 662 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:53.679 money stone, the Chintamani stone, which which is also like the Emerald of 663 00:47:53.760 --> 00:48:00.599 Lucifer. It's like this, this exact story of this powerful stone. Wish. 664 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.639 Yeah, it's it's being repeated over and over and over, and you 665 00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:08.639 can kind of surmise that they're all talking about the same thing. It's the 666 00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:13.519 same as like the philosopher's stone. It's there may not be a stme, 667 00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:17.760 it's like an esoteric metaphor about reaching enlightenment. So I don't know if you're 668 00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:22.719 reaching knowledge. I don't know if you knew this. But there's there's this 669 00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:30.960 like acronym that initiates and alchemists and like seekers use to sort of try and 670 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:35.599 gauge if one of these legends is like legit or not. And it's this 671 00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:40.000 acronym called vitriol. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. So it's that is 672 00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:44.320 blowing my mind because that's in the movie as above, so below it is. 673 00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:49.639 Yes, So vitriol is a Latin acronym that stands for the phrase visita 674 00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:58.000 interiora terre rectificondo in Vinnie's Occultum lapid them I know, I butchered that, 675 00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:05.000 but which in uh Latin translates to visit the interior of the earth and rectifying 676 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:09.920 you will find the hidden stone. No shit, yeah, that's what it 677 00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:15.480 means. Bro. That's in the movie below, like a cultum means hidden, 678 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.800 lapidam means stone. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what it means. 679 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.199 Visit the interior of the earth and rectifying, which is just like purifying you 680 00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:30.280 will find the hidden stone. But I also feel like that means like know 681 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:36.159 thyself, you know, like it's a psychosocratey said, know thyself like right 682 00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:40.079 meditation, the death of the ego to reach enlightenment. Yeah, because like 683 00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:44.559 at the at the bottom of the rabbit hole of all this esoteric literature, 684 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:47.440 the point of all of it is reaching in awakened state of consciousness. You 685 00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:52.079 know, it's through it's through just complete purification of the ego. So I 686 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.280 felt like, you know, you're visiting the interior of the earth. It's 687 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:59.800 as above so below that that's you, that's your infinite inner state. Yeah, 688 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:02.840 it's like by delving deep into the earth to yourself, that's how you 689 00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:08.400 know yourself, know thyself right exactly. So it's also in as above so 690 00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:13.920 below that know thyself thing. Yeah, that's pretty sure. So you can 691 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:20.719 kind of there's kind of like multiple interpretations of what exactly the Grail like was. 692 00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:25.719 It's just this story focuses on like it being an allegory or like it 693 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:31.440 being the blood line of Christ. I feel like that's I feel like that's 694 00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:38.199 what the legend actually is. But it's like is it true? You know 695 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:42.239 what I mean? Like I have a hard time thinking, oh, well, 696 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:44.639 maybe it is just a cup. Well no, I mean, well, 697 00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.199 so the reason that they make sense, the reason that like at least 698 00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.480 like the the basic vanilla reason that like they think all these people are looking 699 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:58.480 for the Holy Grail is because you know, it also held Jesus' blood in 700 00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.599 it. You know, when they say sacrificed him, they filled his grail 701 00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:05.639 up with his blood, like which was you know whatever, And so they 702 00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:07.400 think that that's the story goes, they stabbed him, but he bled water 703 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:14.960 right in the then they filled it up the cup. And so that's like 704 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:17.639 the basic understanding of it. So people think that because it held his blood 705 00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:22.719 in the chalice, it like gave the chalice special powers or whatever. But 706 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:29.480 take just a tiny little bit of like a symbolic understanding of that, what 707 00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.000 does that mean? The blood is power, the blood is power, the 708 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:37.400 bloodline is power exactly, you know what I mean, Like, just just 709 00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.719 get a little symbolic with it, and it's not that far of a leap. 710 00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:44.960 And then, you know, really, other than those two kind of 711 00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:49.719 like schools of thought, the only other thing that people think the Grail could 712 00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:52.440 really truly represent is just like the philosopher's stone, like the same thing as 713 00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:57.360 a philosopher's stone. You get it and you just you know, you have 714 00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.639 the power to manifest whatever you want. Yeah, it's like not the idea 715 00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:04.719 is that there isn't a physical object, but in reality it's reaching enlightenment, 716 00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:08.480 right, exactly the key to enlightenment. And then so another piece of this 717 00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:15.840 puzzle that the book heavily implies, but that you have to dig a little 718 00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:24.280 bit to find examples of in real history is the Knights Templar's involvement with the 719 00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:29.639 Grail. So check this out. I got a quote from two of the 720 00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:31.440 characters, Robert and Sophie, when they're having a conversation. Uh huh. 721 00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:36.119 So it's like Robert said, any story of the Priory, which again we're 722 00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:39.960 going to assume that he's really referencing Freemasons or rosicrusions because their histories are tied. 723 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:45.119 You know, it's very similar bodies of knowledge. Yeah, but he 724 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:49.199 said any story of the Priory soon ended in bloodshed. They were butchered by 725 00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:52.039 the Church. It all started a thousand years ago when the French king conquered 726 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.639 the Holy City of Jerusalem. It was all orchestrated by a secret brotherhood, 727 00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:00.000 the Priory of Scion and the military arm the Knights Templar. Then Sophie says, 728 00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:02.800 but the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land, I thought, 729 00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:06.920 And Robert says, well, that was a cover to hide their true goal. 730 00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:12.599 According to this myth, supposedly the invasion was to find an artifact lost 731 00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.440 since the time of Christ, an artifact it was said the Church would kill 732 00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:21.159 to possess. Then the story, like the Da Vinci code book movie whatever, 733 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.800 it actually expounds on the real history of Friday the thirteenth. Yeah, 734 00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:27.880 how the Pope and the King of France had this covert operation to just like 735 00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:30.000 assassinate all the Templars all at once, and it does the whole Friday the 736 00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:34.440 thirteenth thing burned at the State YadA, YadA, YadA. So yeah, 737 00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:37.360 very cool how it connects the Templars there. Yeah, it is really cool 738 00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:39.800 how it's done in the book. And if you do a little bit of 739 00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:46.599 digging into history, like the history of the Templars and that brutal attack on 740 00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:54.920 Friday the thirteenth, you'll find that many Nights were being you know, they 741 00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:00.000 were torturing them, they were interrogating them like it was really really awful, 742 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:04.360 but they were trying to get information out of them, and the torture information 743 00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:13.119 out of them, and many of them in that torture divulged the same bit 744 00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:19.400 of information, which is that they held Grail rituals. They held like like 745 00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:27.119 significant magical rituals where the centerpiece was like a symbol of the Grail. It 746 00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:31.440 obviously wasn't the Grail. But they're like low key like almost like worshiping the 747 00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:37.639 Grail. They absolutely were mystical, like, oh for sure. So the 748 00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.519 official version, again, I'm not saying this is the true version. I'm 749 00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:45.760 saying it's the official version of history. Why like the French king and the 750 00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.079 Pope wanted to kill the templars was they were claiming that they were worshiping the 751 00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:51.800 devil. They were worshiping Bapha met right. They were claiming that they were 752 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:54.480 killing people, drinking blood out of skulls, scrying into the blood and the 753 00:54:54.480 --> 00:55:00.559 skulls, and having just these strange satanic rituals and stuff. And there were 754 00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:07.559 some templars under the duress of torture who admitted to that. But then it's 755 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:13.760 like, well they're being tortured. So it's like, you know, or 756 00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:15.760 are you just trying to get out of torture. No, no, not 757 00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:17.559 even Grail rituals. Some of them said, yes, we really do that 758 00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:21.719 stuff. Yes, we really worshiped the doubt. So it's like, is 759 00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:23.840 it true they're being tortured? You know, because you know, all these 760 00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:27.199 other ones are saying this stuff. So it's like, we really don't know 761 00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:31.000 unless we're a part of some society that's held their information, see, like 762 00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:37.480 unless we joined the modern Freemasons or Templar, well that really know what they 763 00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.280 did, you know. But so is there any of these societies out there 764 00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:45.719 that is known to be like intimately tied to the legend of the Holy Grail? 765 00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:50.199 Like are there are there any of them? Because I mean I found 766 00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:52.679 like a little bit of stuff on the real priory of Zion. Do you 767 00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:57.960 remember when for a brief time I studied with a Rosa Crucian named doctor Robert 768 00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:00.880 Gilbert, Like brief time, brief time. I took a few courses with 769 00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:07.920 him, right, he had a course called Grail Traditions and Mysteries. I 770 00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.880 never took that one, but I I can't remember the one that I did 771 00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:14.800 took. I think it was just like spirit science, just like a general 772 00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:16.519 idea of be a cult. Yeah, I know, that's where I learned 773 00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:21.159 it from spiritual science. Yeah, that's occult science, I think. I 774 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:24.840 think Rudolf Steiner has a book called Occult Science. But that's where I got 775 00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:29.840 the name for spirit science. But yeah, no, that that is something 776 00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:31.960 that the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons do talk about. I mean again, it's 777 00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:34.960 like, I'm not a part of these orders, so I can't know everything 778 00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:39.199 they say. Although I am kind of inclined to start getting more involved with 779 00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:43.559 Rosicrucianism to try to like see what their material is about. I kind of 780 00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:46.039 feel that inclination too, because it's not like Freemason's where you got to go 781 00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:51.440 to a lodge drink beerwidge or homies on Friday night and learn all these secrets. 782 00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:57.239 And I forgot my recital today, I didn't memorize my little Latin quotes 783 00:56:57.320 --> 00:56:59.519 or whatever. You go. You know, rose CRUs is not like that. 784 00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:01.480 It's more you just learn. Yeah, it's all online. You don't 785 00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:06.280 even have to meet anybody in person. My fear up front was like, 786 00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:08.280 if I was to get involved in any of these kind of orders. Would 787 00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:13.119 this be the kind of information that I couldn't share with people? Because clearly 788 00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:15.960 my only reason for ever learning this kind of knowledge would be to share with 789 00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:17.239 people. I want to share with people. And I was like, well, 790 00:57:17.239 --> 00:57:21.000 what's the point in getting further with something if I can't even talk about 791 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.079 it? That's just really stupid. Yeah, it's really stupid. Why would 792 00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:27.400 I do that? Right? Yeah, it would be honestly more, It 793 00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.239 would make more sense just to do the research on your own. That's why 794 00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:31.960 I've been doing it that way. Yeah. Yeah, make no pacts or 795 00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:36.639 promises with anybody that you're not going to tell anybody if you find the information 796 00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:38.800 yourself, Like you don't. You don't owe nobody nothing. And for anybody 797 00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:40.840 out there that's like in their head, they're like, well, I'm a 798 00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:44.760 part of the order, and I maybe yeah, well I've seen beings my 799 00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:49.840 whole life, you know, so I understand the burden of having some crazy 800 00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:52.000 experience that you want to share with people that people aren't ready to listen. 801 00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:57.000 Right then, you know, somebody in the high level Freemasonry or some other 802 00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:00.840 ritual or or magical order, they might say, well, people understand it. 803 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:04.159 So we're keeping a secret because they're not ready for this, and then 804 00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:07.280 that I mean, you know, that's fine. I don't see it that 805 00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:09.039 way, right. I see that the truth should be freely shared all the 806 00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:12.320 time, one hundred percent of the time, whether they're ready or not, 807 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.440 and as your burden, you know. So that's that's me. That's why 808 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:19.559 I never got involved with any sort of order. But I'm kind of thinking, 809 00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:22.079 man, I might dive into Rosicrucian stuff, like do your own research 810 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:24.519 on it. Bro. No, no, no, it's fifteen bucks a 811 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:29.760 month. You sign up online, they give you documents electronically. You just 812 00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:32.000 read them. You don't even have to go to no agreement. There's no 813 00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:36.000 agreement like not to talk about it as far as I know. Yeah, 814 00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:39.280 you just you just study the material. I would love to read stuff like 815 00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:45.199 that. I mean, the Rosicrucians are the probably the one, like initiate 816 00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:49.679 order that I'm most like interested intrigued in. I know, we said we're 817 00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:53.440 not going to really do comments, okay, but this this one I thought 818 00:58:53.639 --> 00:59:00.840 was so like come on, bro, like really, oh god, listen, 819 00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:06.440 we gotta comment on YouTube. Okay, let's do it. I don't 820 00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:10.360 know if I've ever done this. Put it on blast. Let me find 821 00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:14.159 it. I might have already passed it. Oh listen, you ready, 822 00:59:14.880 --> 00:59:17.920 I can't believe I'm even highlighting this. It says we did the Wisdom Traditions 823 00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:23.239 episode one. The scenes it says, I don't want to throw shade, 824 00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:27.119 but this, this comment, this is what I deal with. This, 825 00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:30.119 This is exactly why I'm like, I don't even need to defend myself here, 826 00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:34.480 you know, But it's like, why do people who are not members 827 00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:37.639 of the Rosie Crucian Order always speculate as to what we are and what we 828 00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:42.719 do. Don't sit on the fence. Join the organization and find out for 829 00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:45.920 yourself instead of reading books from people who never even have been members of the 830 00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:51.519 order and think they are experts on the teachings when in actual fact they know 831 00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:57.679 nothing except for their own self importance. There's a lot of like arrogance. 832 00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:01.639 Yeah, you know, like I don't know, I don't want to know 833 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:05.719 who said it obviously or whatever. But like, listen, if you're if 834 01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:09.639 you're genuinely trying to get people interested in the organization you're a part of, 835 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:15.599 or like invite them to learn these mysteries for themselves. That's not really the 836 01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:19.480 attitude to have you know what I mean that kind of that kind of would 837 01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:22.559 turn people off. I would think, Yeah, it's like fuck me for 838 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:29.000 like being really interested in something but like hesitant about fully getting involved because I'm 839 01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:31.960 a public figure and I have a like I believe I have a responsibility to 840 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:36.519 be able to freely share knowledge of people. You know, It's like I 841 01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:43.880 don't know that. Yeah, what's what's his name? Onoke? Onoke, 842 01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:47.199 the dude from Arto, the fence sitter. Oh oh oh man, yeah, 843 01:00:47.400 --> 01:00:51.480 ok right, what a deep cut, bro? Yeah, I think 844 01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.559 it's Onoke. It's the only fence citter I've ever heard of that is a 845 01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:58.440 deep cut, my guy. But yeah, it's like that, this is 846 01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:00.000 what I deal with. Man. It's like it's like, damn, let 847 01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:04.320 me be curious, bruh. Let me just be curious, as opposed to 848 01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:07.280 if I did go and take some sort of oath and then I couldn't spell 849 01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:09.199 the information, It's like, wow, fuck you dude. Yeah, you're 850 01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:13.800 the people. Yeah, you're always gonna piss somebody, always. Always. 851 01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:15.760 It's just it's just the nature of the thing. Man, You're always gonna 852 01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:21.000 pie somebody off, like it's like I can't win. But no, I 853 01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.719 have been thinking about getting more involved with the Rosicrucian stuff. Dude. It's 854 01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:28.760 just like it's so interesting and like it really is so fascinating full disclosure, 855 01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:32.920 Like I did. I did join for like two months last year. It's 856 01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:37.920 again, it's fifteen bucks a month and you you get monographs sent to you 857 01:01:38.119 --> 01:01:45.119 in electronically. And one thing that really turned me off was the some of 858 01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:50.679 the very first I think they're called monographs. They're written by Alistair Crowley. 859 01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:54.440 Oh so I'm like, yeah, that's bullshit, Like I'm not really interested 860 01:01:54.480 --> 01:02:00.440 in that. But also like when you read what they're saying, it's like 861 01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:06.400 it's not bad, it's not bad stuff. And we have to remember that 862 01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:09.679 he was a part of different ritualistic orders. So it's like, I don't 863 01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:12.400 know, man, It's like I don't I don't want to have to sit 864 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:15.880 here and try to like justify the shit I'm reading, just like I wanna, 865 01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:20.239 well, yeah, just let go, let go of all judgment and 866 01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:23.880 justification and all of that, and and just view it as nothing more than 867 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:28.920 an observer, a witness. You view view the content as nothing. Don't 868 01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:35.000 don't, don't associate any of your personal feelings to you know what you're reading, 869 01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:37.760 what it is, whatever, Just absorb the information and then you'll you'll 870 01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:42.920 form your own opinion later. Who cares if alex Ter Crowley wrote about those 871 01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:45.119 things in the beginning, you know he's a fucking Weirdoh sure, but he'd 872 01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:47.800 be spitting sometimes. Well. I was saying more along the lines of like, 873 01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:52.280 how stupid of them to include that material, sure, to invoke that 874 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:55.400 reaction in people, But maybe it was intentional. Maybe maybe it's to show 875 01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:59.639 that there is a belief I have. Again, it's like, how can 876 01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:02.679 we know that there is a belief that a lot of that public facing material 877 01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:08.800 about Aleisterair Crowley was intentional to shock people, to try to prevent from engaging 878 01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:13.800 in the material. But see me, I'm just like, shame on you, 879 01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:16.599 Like your intentions are wrong and you've lost me. Yeah, But I 880 01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:22.000 mean, who knows it could have been for a different intention. We truly 881 01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:24.880 don't know. Maybe they were thinking, like we need to show both sides 882 01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:30.159 of this coin and show that the truth doesn't pick a side, It is 883 01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:36.000 simply the truth, and you pick the side for yourself. Yeah, maybe 884 01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:37.840 it's something like that. You never know. It's also it's like, don't 885 01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:40.559 throw the baby out with the bathwater too. It's like again it's like if 886 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:46.000 Alister Crowley is depraved of an individual he may have been, that doesn't mean 887 01:03:46.119 --> 01:03:52.320 that he didn't have the capacity to report on material. Yeah, It's like 888 01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:57.840 it's like, just because you know, I don't like the color brown, 889 01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:00.599 doesn't mean I can't paint with it exactly, you know what I mean? 890 01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.599 Or just just because I don't know, it's like just not everything that somebody 891 01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:10.559 says is wrong, just it's logic. It's it's just because it's them saying 892 01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:14.239 exactly right, Like it's logic. And when you read the monographs that I 893 01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:16.960 think it's like Library seven seven seven and Library eight eight eight, it's not 894 01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:21.480 bad material. I'm just like, well, really, we're gonna come right 895 01:04:21.519 --> 01:04:25.480 out the gate reading Alister Crowley, Like that's not exciting to me. Yeah. 896 01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:30.239 Yeah. When you when you go from like like exoteric like religion, 897 01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:34.880 normal whatever, to like this kind of deep occult stuff there, it can 898 01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:39.960 feel very like gray area sometimes where you're like is this bad? Yeah? 899 01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:43.360 Exactly do I need to justify this? So? So maybe you know, 900 01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:45.920 it could be something like that, like them just showing you up front, 901 01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:49.440 like here's Alex almost said alex Ter Crowley. Here's Aleister Crowley, like like 902 01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:53.800 saying some shit that actually makes sense, even though you know of him as 903 01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:57.559 a depraved person. So like some of the ship he said made sense exactly. 904 01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:00.559 That's the problem, right, That's that's really problem with it. Yeah, 905 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:05.400 but yeah, interesting stuff. Did we did we? Did you finish 906 01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:08.559 up on? I think what you wanted to cover on the divinci Ca? 907 01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:10.719 I think so for the most part. Let me just take one. Are 908 01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:14.519 we satisfied? Are we we went on a wild tanget satisfied? I think 909 01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:17.280 that's the first time we ever rolled out comments. I think it might be 910 01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:20.800 it wasn't a good one. And I listen. I don't want to. 911 01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:25.920 I really don't want to be like negative. I appreciate you guys watching and 912 01:05:25.960 --> 01:05:30.320 listening absolutely and commenting. Understand that we do see the rude comments. We 913 01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:32.440 do. We don't usually respond, but we see them. Just you know, 914 01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:40.239 it's like it's it's like again, it's like you have your one opportunity 915 01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:44.079 to interact with the people that you know, you listen to their content, 916 01:05:44.159 --> 01:05:49.440 maybe maybe use honey instead of tract flies with honey not vinegar. But anyway, 917 01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:54.280 thank you for commenting and engaging. Yeah, common sense, be nice. 918 01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:57.320 Yeah, I made it through all of my notes. Uh. I 919 01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:00.039 mean, the biggest themes in this book it's it's it's like about these organizations, 920 01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:02.920 it's about the Grail, it's about the blood line of Christ. You 921 01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:06.159 know. Oh, there is one concept we didn't actually that. We went 922 01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:09.960 on a tangent for a while, and I do feel like I wanted to 923 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:12.480 talk about this. So the whole, the whole controversy of the book, 924 01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:15.760 we just glossed over this but didn't make a point about it. The reason 925 01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:19.440 this book is so controversial in the first place is because why, well, 926 01:06:19.519 --> 01:06:26.360 dude, it's it's suggesting the notion that Jesus was a father. Well yeah, 927 01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:29.960 like not an immortal divine being. Oh right, Yes, it's it's 928 01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:35.119 suggesting the notion that he was a person like us, who which every other 929 01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:40.159 bit of information in the world about him, except for the Bible, says 930 01:06:40.719 --> 01:06:44.159 exactly all of it. Yeah, like the Gnostic Text, na, commodity 931 01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:48.039 scroll yeah, all the psychic materials yeah, nahommodity scrolls, the Koran, 932 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:53.679 all of it, all of it. That he was like as a prophet. 933 01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:56.000 Yeah, he was like a He was like a sage or like a 934 01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:00.639 prophet, or like a spiritual master. He was like a master of an 935 01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:01.880 order, not just an initiate, but a master. Yes. And he 936 01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:06.119 had achieved enlightenment and he was waking people up. And you know, I 937 01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:10.599 do believe that. I do too. Do I know that he had children? 938 01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:12.639 No, I don't know that. Sure, I believe it, but 939 01:07:12.679 --> 01:07:17.119 I believe that every other text about him in the world other than the Bible, 940 01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:21.400 says that he was a man. He wasn't divine, he wasn't a 941 01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:28.119 God incarnate. He was a sage, a prophet, a dope dude, 942 01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:32.239 a jack Man with fucking natty lights. Like I'm saying, that's what we 943 01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:34.800 know about it. If he's Jackson, got some natty lights, I mean, 944 01:07:34.840 --> 01:07:39.039 I'm sure he's got some kids out there. Oh yeah, oh yeah, 945 01:07:39.159 --> 01:07:42.639 yeah, that's the first time you've spoke the whole I think, yeah, 946 01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:49.440 episode oh yeah, well, you know, he gets excited as soon 947 01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:54.480 as he hears natty lights. Jack Jack ripped Jesus. That's hilarious. That's 948 01:07:54.480 --> 01:07:57.239 the first time he spoked a whole episodes. That's all it takes. You 949 01:07:57.280 --> 01:08:01.519 Finally you got me. That's all it takes to engage him. That's all 950 01:08:01.519 --> 01:08:03.840 it take. At the end of the episode, we have his full attention. 951 01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:06.519 But this, this, this, this has to read this book. 952 01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:12.480 It's really good. It really should and it's a very fast, fast read. 953 01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:15.079 But dude, it's like the easiest book I've ever read. Honestly easy 954 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:18.159 because it's a yeah, you don't want to put it down, and the 955 01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:21.680 material will stimulate your brain. It teaches you a lot of stuff. Dude, 956 01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:27.319 it taught me a lot. But yeah, I mean, like this 957 01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:30.239 this was heretical. It was extremely controversial when it came out because it was 958 01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:34.199 suggesting the idea that, you know, Jesus may have been born just like 959 01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:39.279 us, and that it goes all into the Nicy and Creed and Constantine and 960 01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:42.680 how they changed his birthday to be like the pagan son god of Rome and 961 01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:46.720 all this real history about how they convened Romans. This this is all in 962 01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:49.000 the story. They're they're like educating you, Like, no, they just 963 01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:54.159 decided years later, Yeah he's divine, Yeah, the Emperor of Constantine. 964 01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:57.840 It sucks. Yeah, well yeah, we'll make him divine and uh yeah, 965 01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:01.000 his birthday's freaking and then we're gonna kill people to uphold this image so 966 01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:04.399 that we have absolute power yep, you know, because we act on the 967 01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:09.359 authority, you know, the Vatican. We're the most powerful representation of God. 968 01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:12.279 So then you have this whole subplot. We barely talked about this, 969 01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:15.239 but the whole villains here that are chasing them down is like this cult within 970 01:09:15.319 --> 01:09:20.359 Catholicism who's trying to murder the blood line of Christ and murder anybody who's aware 971 01:09:20.399 --> 01:09:24.039 of the mystery because they don't want people to learn the truth. They want 972 01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:28.840 to keep people in ignorance, to be like spiritual slaves, basically, like 973 01:09:28.840 --> 01:09:32.239 they want to keep the world suppressed from this holy grail. Yeah, they 974 01:09:32.279 --> 01:09:36.039 want they want Catholicism to continue to reign. Yeah. So you have like 975 01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:40.199 you have like both secret societies. You have the Catholic Secret Society where they're 976 01:09:40.199 --> 01:09:44.199 literally like nine millimeters like capping people in the head over Christ. Yeah, 977 01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:46.359 and then you have Priory of Zion, who's trying to protect the blood line 978 01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:50.880 of Christ. Yeah, exactly. It's it's really really gripping stuff. It's 979 01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:55.680 it's amazing, it's deep and it makes you wonder how much of it is 980 01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:59.399 real. Honestly, that's the problem with this book. That's that's that's what 981 01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:01.119 I was gonna say, Like, you read this, and I remember reading 982 01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:04.079 this at eighteen years old. I was still Pentecostal. Yeah, you know, 983 01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:09.359 I remember reading this and being like, you know, I kind of 984 01:10:09.439 --> 01:10:13.760 have a hard time not believing this. I do too. When I finished 985 01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:15.359 it, I was like, this is nonfiction. But then, like, 986 01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:18.399 you know, after a while, it is like it was shortly after that 987 01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:24.520 that I found out about freemasonry and even like the Illuminati and began my journey 988 01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:28.479 like studying esoteric stuff. I mean, I actually, ironically, I only 989 01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:30.439 read this a few months after Dad experienced a lady for the first time. 990 01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:33.119 Which is funny when you think about it, because out, you know, 991 01:10:33.159 --> 01:10:36.439 you think about it out of the box, this entire book, other than 992 01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:40.840 the blood Line of Christ. Bit, do you remember what his book is 993 01:10:41.199 --> 01:10:45.800 called? In the book? The character is an author in the book. 994 01:10:46.039 --> 01:10:51.399 It's like symbols of the goddess, oh, divine, feminine. Yeah, 995 01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:56.359 it's something like that. The whole point of this is the great mystery, 996 01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:00.319 like why was Mary Magdalen's so special? She's she's divine. She was like 997 01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:03.880 Jesus was the male avatar of God, and she was like the feminine. 998 01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:08.640 She was like the the you know, his equal, his counterpart. And 999 01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:11.000 it's like, it's crazy, man. The whole premise of this is the 1000 01:11:11.039 --> 01:11:14.960 divine, feminine, the mother, the grail, is the woman, and 1001 01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.279 then they believed that her children, her child, the heir, was a 1002 01:11:17.319 --> 01:11:20.000 woman. You know. It's like, it's crazy, man. It's all 1003 01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:25.239 about the goddess and like it's kind of like what my whole life is about. 1004 01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:28.119 Yeah, and it's funny. It's funny that you started reading it like 1005 01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:32.199 at right after this. I know that for a fact because I read this 1006 01:11:32.319 --> 01:11:39.600 towards the end of my second semester. It was springtime, second semester of 1007 01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:45.159 freshman year of college, which that's the year springtime Easter, freshman year of 1008 01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:48.880 college. Dad's all the Lady. So I read this within weeks of Dad 1009 01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:51.319 seeing the Lady, which is ironic, and at the time I didn't understand 1010 01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:56.760 the significance. That's wild, you know, but crazy damn. That's all 1011 01:11:56.800 --> 01:11:59.560 I got. Boys. That's it, y'all. Thanks for tuning in for 1012 01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:02.319 another on one. We love y'all. And you know what I'm saying, 1013 01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:05.079 read that book. It's pretty good, super good. Yeah, movie's good 1014 01:12:05.119 --> 01:12:08.640 too. Don't listen to the haters. For sure. I I really said, 1015 01:12:08.640 --> 01:12:11.359 an enjoyable movie. Yeah. Like if I was if I wanted somebody 1016 01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:14.359 to experience this story and they weren't really a reader, I'd be like, 1017 01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:17.359 just watch the movie. It gives you a lot of the deep information. 1018 01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:20.039 Yeah, you'll get it. You'll get it. So check it out. 1019 01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:30.199 Love y'all. Bye God or the Blade Cealoue. Dude, this is King 1020 01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:34.000 Arthur's sword in the crail. Yeah, the Blade in the Chalice. Exactly 1021 01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:41.960 crazy. It's Craig Craig, all right. Weird things happen in the backyard 1022 01:12:41.960 --> 01:13:02.479 of Bletsoe House. Shit so weird, like smiring on the inside of it. 1023 01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:28.600 No one knows that. Wow, it's come I've ever told sold
