00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 4>go to the medical center, the mk Ultra subjects, and

42
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.520

<v Speaker 4>yeah most of the time. Yeah, so it's real.

44
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>What was the real motivation? I don't know.

45
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 4>It's like my hair grows so fast, man, it'd be

46
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 4>like two weeks and then I can shave it off

47
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 4>and it's like it never happened. So it's like, I

48
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 4>don't know, I've never done anything like it before.

49

55
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't have enough hair. It would look weird. But

56
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>like a few days ago, I was like, man, I

57
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>wish like I could do that, that would actually look cool.

68
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 4>and do it like a proper frosted tip situation.

69
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Dude, Yeah, you should do frosted tip curls and get

70
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 3>them permed. I don't think that's it. I know that's

71
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 3>his natural hair, but like, get it permed like his hair. Yeah, dude,

00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>you get frosted curled tips.

73

<v Speaker 2>Yes, that'd be great.

74
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>Just curl the tip, yeah, just the tip, Just run

75
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 3>your fingers right through them.

76
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm honestly here for the Alex hair regrowth era.

77
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>I've been here for a minute.

78
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 3>Eve Ben buzzed too long.

79
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>You've been buzzed way too long. But let those locks

80
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>breathe and let them fly.

81
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I want to say it was summer of last year

82
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 3>you started buzzing that.

83
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm envisioning a future. I see it where Alex has long,

84
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>lush his hair again, full beard man bun.

85
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 4>Oh, so the beard, I'm envisioning it. I'm not going

86
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 4>to do that. Why that's just not on my plan.

87
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 4>The beard was out, the beard was looking good, but.

88
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>It was it was it.

89
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, I'm talking about my latest.

90
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 4>You didn't see it because we spent a week apart.

91
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 4>The same day that I got the hair done, she

92
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 4>was like, you gotta shave that. So I gave in

93
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 4>to peer pressure, to wife pressure.

94
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess, I guess. If you kept the beard,

95
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.000

96
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Man that shot his uncle. Yeah right, it's a weird look.

97
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 4>It's a very contrasting look.

98
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 3>Now you got to bleach the beard.

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 4>websites and everybody is selling twenty and twenty one inch

156
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.600
<v Speaker 4>and seems like the bat got surf paints.

157
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 2>No, I was at Damn Zoomi's like a week or

158
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 2>two ago, buying new clothes. I swear to god, I

159
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 2>almost bought shorts that we're down to here.

160
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why we're going with the icp.

161
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes and hot, dude, they look hot. I almost bottom.

162
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.000
<v Speaker 4>I think I am going to buy a twenty one

163
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>inch seem board short just to look like the old.

164
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I have an idea to watch.

165
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 3>I have an idea. Okay, now just hear me out.

166
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 3>You might want to put that back on for this

167
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 3>because it has to do with clowns. Okay, so this

168
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.680
<v Speaker 3>is something that none of us are really experienced with,

169
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 3>but it might be a nice middle ground where we

170
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 3>could all meet and finally agree on something in unity. Okay,

171
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.439
<v Speaker 3>I think we should all be Juggalos.

172
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 2>You do, yeah, really.

173
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 3>And we paint our face the whole faygo everything.

174
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.759
<v Speaker 2>And we go to a concert.

175
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, we just like do the show. But henceforth

176
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 3>we're Juggals because you got the jeords, the long pants

177
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 3>hit the fourth Yeah, I get the hot topic pants.

178
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>So we just become like a ICP podcast. Yeah, that's crazy.

179
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

180
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's do it.

181
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sorry, I'm out. Oh yeah, I'm You're already

182
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 2>halfway there.

183
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 4>To look at you, I know you're a clown. I'm

184
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 4>just going a different direction. I think with my life.

185
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 3>You're going the all right, you're going the Matrix vibes. Yeah,

186
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 3>that's what I need to say, matrix word. But it's

187
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 3>a certain design, certain vibe that was popular. I don't

188
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 3>want to say it is canceled, certain apparel that people wore.

189
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 3>Have to f you know what I'm saying. Oh, I

190
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 3>get it, I get it. That looked like the Matrix

191
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 3>sick a certain group of individuals. Anyway, So what are

192
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 3>we talking about today? Yeah, I'm afraid that people tuning

193
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 3>into this episode are really looking for some deep material

194
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 3>about Rudolph Steiner. Whoa, So maybe we should shift in that.

195
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Guys, just to make it clear, that's why I was

196
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 2>wearing the nose yeah Rudolph.

197
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 4>Uh all right, So once again explaining the costume, why

198
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 4>not can't escape?

199
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you don't, they might not ever get it.

200
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

201
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And besides, we just spent nine minutes explaining yours

202
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 3>your clown idiot, and you're a clown and you won't

203
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 3>even be a Juggalo man.

204
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 2>And you are a clown.

205
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry I said something I didn't realize.

206
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 3>It was just getting backfire double as hard, go back

207
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 3>home the clown world.

208
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I just had to make you laugh.

209
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 3>So getting getting to the Steiner thing, it's a little hard,

210
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 3>Like Steiner's kind of a difficult subject because the thing

211
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 3>about Steiner is this one man similar to you know,

212
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 3>Helena Bolovotsky. But theosophy kind of became more of a

213
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 3>popular thing as far as like a school goes. Rudolf

214
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Steiner is one of those things where it's like, you know,

215
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 3>people are into Nietzsche or you know, Emmanuel can't he's

216
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 3>he's kind of like a philosopher.

217
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, it's like following a philosopher instead

218
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>of like a philosophic practice. It's like you're literally following

219
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>one dude.

220
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 3>Right, And Rudolf Steiner does have a practice. It's called anthroposophy,

221
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and it is like pretty similar to theosophy with some

222
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 3>really cool distinctions. So I'm gonna just try to get

223
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 3>into all of that stuff. I'm in no way an

224
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 3>expert on Rudolf Steiner. I did actually read a couple

225
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 3>of his books today. Some of them are more like

226
00:10:57.960 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 3>an essay format and they're pretty short, and then some

227
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 3>of them are like seven hour reads talking about audiobooks.

228
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Some of them are like twenty minutes, some of them

229
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 3>are like an hour. There's a huge variation in his books,

230
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:09.799
<v Speaker 3>but I think I got through about three of them today,

231
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 3>which is probably too many for one day, you know,

232
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, but no, because it's like hard to remember

233
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 3>all of it when you're blowing through them.

234
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Sure, but yeah.

235
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 3>So the thing about Steiner is he was actually a

236
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 3>Theosphist and he was a Rosicrucian. I'm pretty sure. Let

237
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.960
<v Speaker 3>me let me, let me just double check that, because

238
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 3>he has entire books about Rosicrucianism, one of which I

239
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>read and it was extremely interesting.

240
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>What period of time was this man alive?

241
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Late eighteen hundred's to like.

242
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>What I'm thinking. I was thinking nineteen.

243
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen twenty five was when he passed. So he was

244
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 3>born in eighteen sixty one to nineteen. Wow, he really

245
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't live that.

246
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Long sixty to twenty I.

247
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Mean, lived like sixty four years or something.

248
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Well back, damn bro, that's you.

249
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 3>Born in eighteen hundred. I want to.

250
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Verify seventy six. Oh, okay, expectancy currently.

251
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 3>Right, He was actually not, he was not initiated rosicrusion,

252
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 3>so similar to it. Yeah, he was very into it,

253
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 3>kind of like Manley P. Hall or Helena Blovotsky. So

254
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Rudolph Steiner, he was born in nineteen sixty one. He

255
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 3>was Croatian. He was so at a very young age

256
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 3>he had this kind of an innate gift to you

257
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 3>could call it meditation whatever. He was just really entranced

258
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 3>with his inner world. He believed inherently as a child

259
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 3>that there was something different about like his inside world

260
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 3>in reality versus the external world. So that's that's kind

261
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:41.159
<v Speaker 3>of the crux of his whole practice is like advancing meditation.

262
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 3>And the title of his greatest work, let me get it.

263
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Because he has tons of books. It's like it's like

264
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 3>how to know higher worlds.

265
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Rudolph Steiner fascinating thinking about a little little Croatian boy

266
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>who is just like so convinced that his internal world

267
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 2>is different from the outside world, pondering such like difficult

268
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>complex concepts that a little you know, it's a child. Yeah, yeah,

269
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 2>actually it was special. You know, like you're you're doing

270
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>something if you're doing that at such a young age, right,

271
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 2>reflecting in such a way the self awareness is wild.

272
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree, it's it's profound. And also the name

273
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 3>of the book was precisely how to know Higher Worlds?

274
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 3>And then he has another one knowledge of the higher

275
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 3>worlds and its attainment. So I'm just gonna kind of

276
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.399
<v Speaker 3>talk loosely here for a moment. So, like I said,

277
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Rudolph Steiner was a part of theosophy and he was

278
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 3>really into it. And there's kind of a controversy in

279
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 3>the sense that some people agree one way, some people

280
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 3>agree the other way. Rudolf Steiner claimed that he was

281
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 3>removed from theosophy. Oh wow, that he was like kind

282
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 3>of shunned, shunned, not in like a violent way, but

283
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 3>like your beliefs do not one hundred percent match with ours.

284
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 3>He claims that he was like removed. Other people claim

285
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.519
<v Speaker 3>he just left. So I don't know. I'd probably take

286
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 3>his word for it, you know what I mean. True,

287
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, so.

288
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>He's curious what drew you to Rudolf Steiner.

289
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I wanted to get into that, So thank

290
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 3>you for asking.

291
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome your big brothers.

292
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.000
<v Speaker 3>But the red nose it's pretty big.

293
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I have a cold.

294
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh really, it looks better to me.

295
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I took Madison two seconds ago.

296
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh true. Yeah, that polar.

<v Speaker 3>So twenty eighteen, Okay, So twenty eighteen I met doctor

333
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Robert Gilbert, Rest in peace. He just passed away. Like

334
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 3>two or three months ago.

335
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.240
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, he did.

336
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 3>It was it was sudden. He was not even like

337
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't expected, He's it wasn't like you know, older

338
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 3>or anything like that. It just kind of was like

339
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 3>a sudden shocking thing.

340
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

341
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 3>And and it sent ripples throughout the esoteric community. I

342
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 3>mean I started seeing it all over social media, and

343
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, I was pretty crushed by that because I

344
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>like my life was changed by meeting him. And he

345
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.759
<v Speaker 3>was one of those people where I, I mean for years,

346
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:01.399
<v Speaker 3>I and saying how I wanted him on the show,

347
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:05.279
<v Speaker 3>and he was like very influential to me. So Doctor

348
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Gilbert was a Rosicrucian and he had the Vesica Institute

349
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 3>in Nashville, North Carolina, and he was very into Rudolph

350
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Steiner and a lot.

351
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 2>He kind of put you on a little bit. Yes, yeah, yes.

352
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 3>A decade ago, we were finding out about Steiner from

353
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.799
<v Speaker 3>some friends of ours in the book, this guy named

354
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Larry Larry Fieschela, who had introduced us to some of

355
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 3>these individuals in the CIA, like Jim Simmy Van and

356
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 3>John Alexander, one of the Projects Target guys. But they

357
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 3>would talk about Rudolf Steiner and theosophy and these kinds

358
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 3>of esoteric movements, and you know, by by having conversations

359
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 3>with Larry about this stuff, this Rudolf Steiner stuff, I

360
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.599
<v Speaker 3>was like, this is pretty interesting and looking into it.

361
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 3>And a part of the Steiner system was about like beings,

362
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 3>like the only real thing in the universe is being

363
00:17:58.880 --> 00:17:59.319
<v Speaker 3>a being?

364
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Sure, yeah you know what I mean.

365
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the concept of being and that there are other beings,

366
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.000
<v Speaker 3>angelic beings or deities or whatever. So he would be

367
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 3>talking to me about Rudolph Steiner and Rosicrucianism all these

368
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.200
<v Speaker 3>years ago, and I didn't really get it. I was like,

369
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.559
<v Speaker 3>this is cool, but I don't really get it. And

370
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.720
<v Speaker 3>as years went on, obviously I got more into it

371
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:18.920
<v Speaker 3>on a personal level and started researching it. So Steiner

372
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.079
<v Speaker 3>has been on my radar for like a decade. Then

373
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.599
<v Speaker 3>in twenty eighteen, I actually personally went and met doctor

374
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Gilbert and you know, was for a very brief time

375
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.000
<v Speaker 3>taking lessons with the Vesica Institute. Then life got busy.

376
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 3>I moved to Wilmington, I got this new job, and

377
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 3>it was like my life went in a completely different way.

378
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 3>And sometimes you don't know what's right in front of you,

379
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.640
<v Speaker 3>and I kind of pushed it aside and moved on.

380
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:44.519
<v Speaker 3>Same with Monroe for like a decade. I didn't do

381
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 3>anything with it. But yeah, so that was my introduction

382
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.960
<v Speaker 3>to Steiner, and it's something that I have been personally

383
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.119
<v Speaker 3>interested in for years. And there's been several episodes of

384
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.960
<v Speaker 3>the show where I've talked about it, just not at length.

385
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Sure you know what I mean as the focus, Yeah, yeah,

386
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.319
<v Speaker 2>but in past yeah, absolutely right.

387
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:06.200
<v Speaker 3>And if you read Rosicrucion manuals like a m R.

388
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.319
<v Speaker 3>C uh, you know, if you go check their website

389
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 3>out and you you go through, like if you rouse

390
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 3>through their website and you start clicking all these different links,

391
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 3>some text will pop up. And the thing that's cool

392
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 3>about Rosicrucianism is and really all esoteric schools, is they're

393
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily rigid in the sense that, at least with

394
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 3>the Rosicrusions, right, they're not necessarily rigid in the sense

395
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 3>that as times evolve, new disciplines develop that they blend

396
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.680
<v Speaker 3>into their system. Right. Yeah, so even though you know,

397
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.839
<v Speaker 3>so even though at least in you know, exoterk religious

398
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 3>exactly right, but at least with Rosicrucianism, as you know,

399
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 3>being in ancient order. Something that they have blended into

400
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 3>their system is like the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the

401
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 3>teachings of Blovotsky, you know, just modern things. Yeah, that

402
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 3>that check out.

403
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 2>It makes sense.

404
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.799
<v Speaker 3>There's new developments and it stands the reason right because

405
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, people think about the Bible. Oh, the Bible

406
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.200
<v Speaker 3>contains all the truth. Really it was written two thousand.

407
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Years thousands of years ago.

408
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 3>What about the freckle on my left arm, Yeah, that's

409
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 3>not in there exactly.

410
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:22.680
<v Speaker 2>That says a lot to me that, like they're willing

411
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to update things with the times, right, that seems only logical. Yeah,

412
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, I mean I'm I'm I would be more

413
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 2>apt to sort of trust in some of the things

414
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.400
<v Speaker 2>that I'm seeing or reading if I know, like these

415
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.400
<v Speaker 2>people aren't so rigid or this this practice isn't so

416
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 2>rigid that it's just like never going to change with

417
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the times, right.

418
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's the thing, like with religions, it's like no, no, no,

419
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 3>this doesn't change. And sure they'll change a degree of

420
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 3>the moral aspect of it. You know, like a Baptist

421
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.400
<v Speaker 3>might say, yeah, you can snow snort cocaine the night

422
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.920
<v Speaker 3>before church and you can just like you know, ball

423
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.759
<v Speaker 3>out with forty hookers. As long as you show up

424
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 3>on Sunday service and say the prayer, then you're fine.

425
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 3>You know. Those kinds of things do change, sure, you

426
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:13.000
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean. And that's a moral thing. But

427
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 3>like the structure is rigid and it doesn't change exact

428
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 3>the you know, it doesn't. It doesn't necessarily evolve with

429
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 3>the times. But when we're talking about the esoteric, we're

430
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.240
<v Speaker 3>talking about like I think the quote from Colena Blovotsky

431
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:29.720
<v Speaker 3>herself was like the highest I think it was like

432
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.480
<v Speaker 3>the highest religion is truth, you know what I mean?

433
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 3>There is a truth is there is a primordial truth

434
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:40.599
<v Speaker 3>that stands the test of time, can be tested by

435
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 3>the way and observed to be true through the scientific process.

436
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Through testing this. Okay, well we're talking about spiritual things.

437
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.920
<v Speaker 3>How do you test that with the scientific process? Well,

438
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 3>what is the scientific process? It doesn't use or mean

439
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:58.200
<v Speaker 3>using machines and tools necessarily, but it means creating specific

440
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:03.960
<v Speaker 3>conditions that can be observed, measured and repeated, Yes, and repeated.

441
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 3>And there are certain things that have been repeated, like

442
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 3>going out of body, you know, perceiving higher worlds and

443
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 3>and things yes, yes, and things like that. So it

444
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 3>is scientifically testable, right, and that's the whole Steiner system.

445
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.640
<v Speaker 3>It's about advancing like a rigid It's like, okay, if

446
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 3>if if theosophy is about basically, you know, they're getting

447
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:41.559
<v Speaker 3>into trances and performing acts of medium ship to talk

448
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:48.400
<v Speaker 3>to spirits to receive knowledge, because that's the whole claim, right, anthroposophy,

449
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Speaker 3>which is Steiner's thing, right, the offshoot of theosophy anthroposophy

450
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 3>is now we're not really doing medium ship and getting

451
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.559
<v Speaker 3>into trances and talking to spirits. What we're doing is

452
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 3>we are going to perceive higher worlds with our own faculties.

453
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 3>So it's this protocol of like moral development and meditation,

454
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 3>opening and expanding your consciousness so that you yourself can perceive

455
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.599
<v Speaker 3>the spiritual dimensions. Which sounds like what the monrostitute.

456
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly, that's yeah, yeah, it's it's all inner, it's

457
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 2>all yourself doing it. It's not like connecting with some

458
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 2>other spirit from there. I mean, they do some stuff

459
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.440
<v Speaker 2>like that, but it's ultimately it's like you are the

460
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:32.799
<v Speaker 2>power and you're pulling that power from within.

461
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Exactly. You are the God dwells within you. You are

462
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 3>the God within that. You know, you are the Christ,

463
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.240
<v Speaker 3>you are the Buddha whatever. Yeah, whereas other things say

464
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 3>that too, but then they're like, you know, we're we're

465
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 3>going to go into a trance and some other ascended

466
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 3>master is going to come through speak to us. May work,

467
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.960
<v Speaker 3>it may very well perfectly be real, but that there's

468
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 3>a distinction between these schools, right.

469
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 2>It's like yep Man and Bruce Lee.

470
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:01.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it is literally it's like legit and it's cool

471
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 6>and I love that, but like let me take yeah

472
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.640
<v Speaker 6>way yeah, and then they were like you do that

473
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.119
<v Speaker 6>over there?

474
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh that's right, same thing, yeah, kind of wow.

475
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 3>And and there's another distinction. So like Blavatsky's idea of

476
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:19.680
<v Speaker 3>God is like, you know, it's very impersonal. It's this

477
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of ominous force that doesn't give a shit about you.

478
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.519
<v Speaker 3>I completely disagree. In fact, I think that's wrong. Maybe

479
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 3>that's how she sees it because she was traumatized by

480
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Christianity and Russia in eighteen hundred, so I could understand

481
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 3>why she would say that. But then the Steiner idea

482
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.720
<v Speaker 3>of God is more along the lines of like, no,

483
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 3>like it's it's the way. You know, a lot of

484
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:40.960
<v Speaker 3>us A terror schools talk about it like you are

485
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.799
<v Speaker 3>the God within God is within you, and you are

486
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 3>a part of that being. And and it is not

487
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 3>very impersonal. In fact, it is pretty personal. Yeah, it's

488
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.400
<v Speaker 3>very personal. It's intimately aware of everything that you're doing

489
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 3>at all times, and it's your whole plan and purpose

490
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 3>is unfolding because of that grand plan that your higher

491
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 3>self has been unfolding over many lifetimes. Yeah, you see

492
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying where theosophy is like there is a

493
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 3>divine force, but it's impersonal. It doesn't give a shit

494
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:08.160
<v Speaker 3>abou it.

495
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't care about it. Kind of nihilistic interact nihilistic, Yeah,

496
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 2>sort of it is. You know, it's very indifferent. It's

497
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 2>very cold. Yeah, you know, yeah, it's very like it's

498
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>out there, but you know, it's not looking out for you,

499
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it's not paying attention to you. It has nothing to

500
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>do with you.

501
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Almost And and I fundamentally disagree for what it's worth.

502
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a lot of great stuff out of theosophy,

503
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 3>but that's that's the beauty of all this is, Like

504
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 3>you you take what's what resonates and what doesn't because

505
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:37.480
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the day, it's like, go find

506
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 3>out for yourself. Oh you think this is bullshit? Okay,

507
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 3>well you don't really have a right to say that

508
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 3>until you actually adopt the meditation protocol, try it for

509
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 3>yourself and try to perceive higher worlds. Otherwise you don't

510
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.839
<v Speaker 3>really have a right. That's my philosophy.

511
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, it's that's the beauty of stepping outside of exoteric spirituality.

512
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like being able to piecemeal what works for you together, yeah,

513
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.519
<v Speaker 2>and not having to follow these rigid like you can't

514
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:06.920
<v Speaker 2>do that.

515
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 3>The truth, in my opinion, the truth is like a

516
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 3>cloud and you see a cloud and it is Maybe

517
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.599
<v Speaker 3>that's that's not a fair that's not necessarily a fair analogy,

518
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 3>because you could say, well, a cloud can blow away

519
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:25.559
<v Speaker 3>with the wind. It's no sturdy. The truth is sturty,

520
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 3>it is, But just follow me. The It is a thing.

521
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 3>It is this formed thing. It's kind of etheric. You

522
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 3>can't really touch it. It's the wind, but it's also

523
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 3>like condensed moisture. It's like this thing that the changes

524
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:42.920
<v Speaker 3>shape and form, and it's growing and its form is

525
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 3>constantly changing over time. The truth is the truth. You

526
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.200
<v Speaker 3>know it's primordial, but also like the or maybe I

527
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.519
<v Speaker 3>should say religion, right, or spirituality, the way we access

528
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 3>the truth, not the truth itself, but the way we

529
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 3>access it is different. It's changing form, it is changing shape.

530
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 3>And I think as time goes on and our understanding

531
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 3>of reality evolves, and like our interaction with reality itself.

532
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Now we have technology. Now, my five year old nephew is,

533
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, playing games on his phone, and the other

534
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 3>day he's showing me how to play the Last of

535
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Us and kill zombies. He's freaking five.

536
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

537
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, when I was five, I had Donkey Kong

538
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:24.119
<v Speaker 3>on a two D system with on the car with

539
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.720
<v Speaker 3>four buttons. Yeah, you know what I mean. And now

540
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.440
<v Speaker 3>my five year old nephew is like, hees virtual reality,

541
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.599
<v Speaker 3>and it's like our experience of reality is fundamentally different.

542
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:38.400
<v Speaker 3>It's evolving every generation always, you know, the goalpost is moving, yes, yeah,

543
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.440
<v Speaker 3>and therefore our understanding of reality, This is what I'm

544
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:43.599
<v Speaker 3>trying to say with the cloud thing, our understanding of

545
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the truth is evolving amorphos's amorphos. Yes, So it would

546
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Speaker 3>make sense that as time goes on, we develop and

547
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 3>adopt new systems that may be saying the same thing,

548
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 3>but they have different you know, approaches, approaches, Yeah, different language,

549
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:02.279
<v Speaker 3>but it's the same thing.

550
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Everything evolves. Why should our connection with spirituality not right? Yeah,

551
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 2>it only makes perfect sense to me.

552
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Like, and for me, the game is like, how can

553
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.400
<v Speaker 3>we do this faster? How can we how can we

554
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:16.319
<v Speaker 3>do this more efficiently?

555
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? What can we how can we apply what we've learned?

556
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, in my opinion, not updating your system is.

557
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Like playing with a handicap.

558
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, but I was gonna specifically say, it's like,

559
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:33.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, let's let's go do some homework on the

560
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.200
<v Speaker 3>computer right quick. And you're like, yeah, I bet bro here,

561
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 3>come on, come on over, and we need to drive

562
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 3>down the street for this because I got a new

563
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:41.359
<v Speaker 3>computer and I want you to see it, and I want

564
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:43.640
<v Speaker 3>to do some work on this thing. And then when

565
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:45.400
<v Speaker 3>I come over and you got a whole new addition

566
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:47.799
<v Speaker 3>on your house and I'm like, damn, dude, you've been

567
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.000
<v Speaker 3>doing some construction. You're like, yeah, man, I had to

568
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 3>get a new four under square foot room.

569
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>You're going in here.

570
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.680
<v Speaker 3>We got some homework, you know, we got some studying

571
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:01.799
<v Speaker 3>to do. And I opened the door and it's a

572
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 3>computer from the nineteen sixties. Whoa, and the shit's massive.

573
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 3>It's like eight hundred foot. They got dial up, they

574
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 3>got dialogue.

575
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm talking about.

576
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 3>The computers back then was the whole room. It was

577
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 3>like the size of a house.

578
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Massive.

579
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.960
<v Speaker 3>And that is religion.

580
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, why would you want to keep exoteric? Yes?

581
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, And it's like no, no, no. I like

582
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.640
<v Speaker 3>the high speed. I like I like the the efficiency.

583
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 2>We've evolved.

584
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we have evolved.

585
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm still doing this.

586
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.839
<v Speaker 3>I like knowing that I don't have to follow like

587
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:37.440
<v Speaker 3>this archaic ritual and certain you know, order of things,

588
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 3>when I could just do A to B the quickest

589
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.279
<v Speaker 3>most efficient route. Like, oh, you're telling me, all I

590
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:46.839
<v Speaker 3>gotta do is like do a certain little process and

591
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:49.519
<v Speaker 3>do a certain little meditation and I can, you know,

592
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 3>perceive higher worlds and go out of body and like

593
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 3>find this information for myself. Sign me up.

594
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I have to devote my life to being

595
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 2>like a monk in a monastery, yeah.

596
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.559
<v Speaker 3>Or tied to get it or ti. So the pastor's

597
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 3>wife can you know, get get another.

598
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Set of nails and a new car and a private

599
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>jet and.

600
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, and also she got to get another phone

601
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:13.440
<v Speaker 3>bill because she's got to have a burn line to

602
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.440
<v Speaker 3>where she can hide the fact that she's cheating.

603
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and then a third line for the dial up.

604
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, yeah exactly. So anyway, it makes sense

605
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 3>to me that systems.

606
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Would evolve as above so below. Man, It's like, uh,

607
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:33.759
<v Speaker 2>the physical and the spiritual have always been married. Yes,

608
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 2>why is one going to evolve and the other stay behind?

609
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Like that's a great point, Like, no, it evolves together.

610
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Stop trying to like handicap yourself just because that's People

611
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>put too much stock in tradition. I think in general

612
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.079
<v Speaker 2>it's good to have some traditions.

613
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.640
<v Speaker 3>It's good.

614
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.400
<v Speaker 2>It is good.

615
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't be trapped by it.

616
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Don't be driven dude, Like like, as soon as it

617
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>starts getting in the way and making your life harder,

618
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.359
<v Speaker 2>let's get with the times. Yeah, on that they blind

619
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:02.240
<v Speaker 2>to tradition.

620
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 3>That's a good way to put it. I didn't think

621
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:05.200
<v Speaker 3>about it like that, Like, yeah, it is as above

622
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:07.599
<v Speaker 3>so blow so as we're evolving in the physical. But

623
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, you're healthy now.

624
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Healthy, I'm cured.

625
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 7>There's there's a yeah, there's it's got real treatment capability.

626
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 7>There's all kinds of research about how tac can you know,

627
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 7>treat certain things and you guys, it's all right here,

628
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 7>right here.

629
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:38.039
<v Speaker 2>In real time.

630
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 3>That's funny, I'm saying, that's kind of a viby just cave.

631
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:46.279
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm being silly, but like I really do feel

632
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 2>that way, Like why why are we evolving physically but

633
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>we're uh refusing to evolve our relationship with spirituality. I

634
00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 2>feel that.

635
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, just let's let's be clear, Like I'm not saying

636
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 3>let's get into the day of the New age trap

637
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 3>where it's like, oh, you're telling me the truth is evolving. No,

638
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that.

639
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 2>The truth is your way that you access it is changing.

640
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.119
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, the way that you access it, the way

641
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:14.880
<v Speaker 3>that you interface with it, the way that you embody

642
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:18.480
<v Speaker 3>its energy and its message and its ideals. You know, Like,

643
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 3>for example, I do believe that there is a real

644
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:26.000
<v Speaker 3>power to the the idea of Christ. But you know,

645
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to church. I'm not sitting here every

646
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 3>night think in my bed thinking I'm gonna go to

647
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Hell because I didn't say the Lord's prayer today. No,

648
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's like our idea of things can change.

649
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying I'm not saying

650
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:40.559
<v Speaker 3>that the truth has changed, and therefore it's like, oh,

651
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 3>oh really, you're saying I can believe whatever I want. Great,

652
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.440
<v Speaker 3>I've been in the you know, in the dark. I've

653
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 3>been like a sci fi scientology guy. I just had

654
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.160
<v Speaker 3>to know that Xeni was real, and you're telling me

655
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.160
<v Speaker 3>he's real. No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying

656
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.160
<v Speaker 3>that our systems and how we approach these things can change. Anyway,

657
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 3>that was a really long time, but that was some heat,

658
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I think. So in the early nineteen hundreds he was

659
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 3>like a prominent member of the Theosophical Society, but then

660
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 3>he broke off in nineteen fifteen, which actually is kind

661
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 3>of whack because he died twelve years later. So here's

662
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.599
<v Speaker 3>the key. We hadn't even got to this yet. You ready,

663
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:20.359
<v Speaker 3>this might lose some people. I think that this is

664
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 3>the most beautiful part of the entire system Steiner believed,

665
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.960
<v Speaker 3>and I do believe this as well. I'm just saying

666
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I believe that this is a very important element to esotericism.

667
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:40.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe that it's like in a literal way

668
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:42.680
<v Speaker 3>where you know, you gotta believe in Jesus to be

669
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:44.839
<v Speaker 3>saved or anything like that. I don't think that that

670
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 3>is the truth. But where Steiner differed from the other

671
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:54.559
<v Speaker 3>system theosophy was he believed that Christ, the being, Jesus,

672
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 3>the man, he came, he lived, he awakened people, he

673
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.960
<v Speaker 3>was killed, he was crucified, maybe he resurrected, maybe he didn't.

674
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. But something happened there, right, Something really

675
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:06.519
<v Speaker 3>did happen there where for two thousand years we're still

676
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:11.280
<v Speaker 3>arguing about it. Steiner believed that that whole event of

677
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 3>his life and his teachings and therefore his ascension, because

678
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, he's this immortal being now everyone knows about him.

679
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 3>He believes that that is the cosmic impulse that was

680
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 3>like rippled throughout the universe, that awakened life forms throughout

681
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:32.159
<v Speaker 3>the cosmos to it changed the course of our evolution

682
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:36.559
<v Speaker 3>to where we were able to begin awakening ourselves. Like

683
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.840
<v Speaker 3>it was a universal event. It's like a cosmic impulse

684
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 3>where he came, that whole story spread and then awakened

685
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 3>like the God within us, where we you know, like

686
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.480
<v Speaker 3>we can do this too ourselves, Like it was a

687
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:53.480
<v Speaker 3>salvation type event, but not in the sense like you know,

688
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:56.559
<v Speaker 3>the Church teaches. It's in the sense that like, oh wow,

689
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.239
<v Speaker 3>we really are godlike beings. Yeah, you know, God dwells

690
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.840
<v Speaker 3>within us, can't awaken. That's what he was saying. You

691
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:03.719
<v Speaker 3>can do this too, if you read the end of

692
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:06.159
<v Speaker 3>the Gospel. He's like, I think it's the Book of John.

693
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 3>He's like, you know, you, you guys, after I'm gone,

694
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:11.599
<v Speaker 3>you'll be able to do so many more miracles than

695
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.199
<v Speaker 3>me that you couldn't even fill the pages of a

696
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.079
<v Speaker 3>book with all the miracles. You couldn't even publish it all.

697
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:19.440
<v Speaker 3>It'll be so massive of a volume of texts of

698
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 3>miracles that you will be able to perform after I leave.

699
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 3>It's a parable. The whole point is like.

700
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.079
<v Speaker 2>You guys, here is a God.

701
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

702
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:29.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like you guys will do this too, like you

703
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:30.679
<v Speaker 3>are awaken beings, you know.

704
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And that's the whole parable. He came here to

705
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.599
<v Speaker 2>show like, look, okay, here I am. I'm here as

706
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a human and check this out. I can do this stuff.

707
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean?

708
00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, that's the whole thing. Yeah, it's not that,

709
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.800
<v Speaker 3>it's like the shit they don't talk about, right. See.

710
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 3>The church turned it into worship him, yeah, worship him. Yeah, Christology,

711
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.039
<v Speaker 3>like you have to worship him like Heracles or or

712
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, Zeus or Demeter or whatever. They turned him

713
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 3>into this this paying an idea of a god where

714
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, you gotta worship him. And then they're like,

715
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.519
<v Speaker 3>now we're gonna, you know, get some control and some

716
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 3>some money, some bread. He's turning loads of bread to

717
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.400
<v Speaker 3>feed five thousand Where we're gonna take these ideas and

718
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get five thousand dollar bills off the tides.

719
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, oh fires me up.

720
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, bring your soul to me and put money.

721
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>In this platter, pay for your salvation.

722
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Get on your knees and confess to me that he

723
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.920
<v Speaker 3>is a god, or you will be damned hell. But

724
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, for a low payment of five ninety nine

725
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.920
<v Speaker 3>little coins, you can get your aunty out of hell.

726
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.559
<v Speaker 2>That's so fucked up? Is that not so fucked up?

727
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:46.519
<v Speaker 3>And you know what else is fucked up? That's why Mormons,

728
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:47.719
<v Speaker 3>A lot of them become Mormons.

729
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that to get their aunty out of hell? Yeah?

730
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Generally yeah, And I know we shifted from you know,

731
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:57.559
<v Speaker 3>the Roman Catholic Church to Mormons, but that's actually a

732
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 3>legit thing and Mormonism. They have the idea of baptizing

733
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 3>the dead. Yeah, and that's that's a large number of

734
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.320
<v Speaker 3>conversions is for that alone. It's baptizing the dead.

735
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Crazy.

736
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.719
<v Speaker 3>I know people, not a big deal, but yeah, I

737
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:12.880
<v Speaker 3>do know some people who they became Mormons just to

738
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.199
<v Speaker 3>like baptize lost loved ones. And it's like, ah, wow,

739
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.159
<v Speaker 3>that's a bummer.

740
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Is a bummer.

741
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:24.440
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, Yeah, so the the big thing about anthroposiphy

742
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.440
<v Speaker 3>is kind of like egger Casey, it has a very strong,

743
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:32.760
<v Speaker 3>like Christian mystical slant. Yeah, but it's in an esoteric way,

744
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:35.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, just that like it's it's the story that

745
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.760
<v Speaker 3>you know that God is within us, but like as

746
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.159
<v Speaker 3>a real being, a real, a real force. Right. So

747
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:44.119
<v Speaker 3>he also did go on to form the Waldart the

748
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Waldorf School, which was kind of like a it was

749
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:49.920
<v Speaker 3>really cool, Alex, You'll really like this. It's like a

750
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.800
<v Speaker 3>holistic school. It's a legit school. I think it's still

751
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.320
<v Speaker 3>running today. Like I think anybody can just join this.

752
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:57.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean you probably have to go through a certain

753
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, vetting process, but it has like a holistic

754
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.679
<v Speaker 3>approach to nurturing the body, the soul, and spirit. So

755
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.480
<v Speaker 3>there's like, oh, get this. The first school opened in

756
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:14.119
<v Speaker 3>Stuttgart for workers at the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory. Interesting

757
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:17.800
<v Speaker 3>worked with doctors in his day to like develop medicine,

758
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 3>so kind of like a little alchemical slant, you know,

759
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:21.840
<v Speaker 3>working with plants and holistic remedies.

760
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:23.840
<v Speaker 4>Told Tobacco that's why.

761
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're a Steiner fan. Yeah, next week, you know

762
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.360
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna be showing up, you know with like a

763
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:33.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't know something something, I'm gonna go.

764
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:37.639
<v Speaker 4>Get Waldorf vintage cigarettes on eBay.

765
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but pretty cool that. I'm I'm almost positive his

766
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:43.880
<v Speaker 3>school is still going today.

767
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

768
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Also you could fact check me on that please. But

769
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 3>little fun fact last year when I was in Germany.

770
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:55.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna see if I can find the photo. Actually

771
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:57.880
<v Speaker 3>it was pretty crazy. I doubt i'll be able to.

772
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.920
<v Speaker 3>But when when I was in Frankfurt, Germany, last year,

773
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:02.800
<v Speaker 3>we were driving by.

774
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:07.280
<v Speaker 4>So to interrupt you, it, it looks like there's people

775
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:11.639
<v Speaker 4>who have taken the philosophy, like the Waldorf education philosophy

776
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.719
<v Speaker 4>and implemented it in like modern day schools. Because I'm

777
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:19.480
<v Speaker 4>getting schools in Wilmington that are like, yeah, what do

778
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.800
<v Speaker 4>they call it like boarding schools. No, like the education,

779
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 4>the education where the kids more or less good to

780
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:27.239
<v Speaker 4>do what they want.

781
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 2>That sounds awesome. You know what I'm talking about.

782
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 4>It It'll come to me and then I'll tell you

783
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:40.079
<v Speaker 4>what it is. But I think so the philosophy of

784
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:41.159
<v Speaker 4>the school is still going on.

785
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna find out.

786
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:44.679
<v Speaker 4>If that original school is still.

787
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I was just taking a quick peek because last year,

788
00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:50.599
<v Speaker 3>while I was in Germany, I passed a real Rudolph

789
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Steiner school. I may not have gotten a picture of it.

790
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I thought I did. That's okay. I don't know if

791
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.239
<v Speaker 3>I'll be able to find it. But it was like

792
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.199
<v Speaker 3>the craziest synchronicity, bro, because there there was like, you know,

793
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.920
<v Speaker 3>my wife was born like twenty minutes from Frankfurt, Germany,

794
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:04.559
<v Speaker 3>and I've been there many times because a lot of

795
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:08.519
<v Speaker 3>her family lives around there. Her cousin actually lives in Frankfurt, Germany,

796
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:11.920
<v Speaker 3>and we were visiting him, and then we were driving

797
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:15.000
<v Speaker 3>out of Frankfurt and we passed this school and it

798
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.760
<v Speaker 3>said something like the Steiner House or something like that,

799
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.440
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, what is that. I can't remember

800
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.639
<v Speaker 3>if it was Steiner House or if it was the

801
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Rudolph Steiner House and I was like, what is that?

802
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:30.800
<v Speaker 3>And you know, my wife's cousin was like, oh, it's

803
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.840
<v Speaker 3>just like a elderly retirement community or something, and I

804
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.440
<v Speaker 3>was like, I don't know that. I got to look

805
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 3>into that and I started googling it, and sure enough

806
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.480
<v Speaker 3>it was like a legit Rudolf Steiner school slash museum

807
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:45.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of thing, and it was. It was very cool.

808
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:48.159
<v Speaker 3>So I've actually seen one in real life. I didn't

809
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:51.639
<v Speaker 3>get to go in or anything, but I thought that

810
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:52.639
<v Speaker 3>was an interesting little sink.

811
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.440
<v Speaker 2>So a bunch of like really old people in there,

812
00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:57.039
<v Speaker 2>just like reaching enlightenment and like opening their third eyes.

813
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it actually has nothing to do with with

814
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 3>at all. He just had no clue what it was. Yeah,

815
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:05.119
<v Speaker 3>it's the Rudolf Steinerhuse.

816
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:05.639
<v Speaker 2>This is it.

817
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:07.800
<v Speaker 3>This is exactly what I passed. I just googled it

818
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.679
<v Speaker 3>real quick. I don't think the original school is in operation.

819
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh really, well that makes sense. Yeah, the Rudolph Steinerhouse

820
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:18.199
<v Speaker 3>h a U S and it is in Frankfurt, Germany,

821
00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:20.400
<v Speaker 3>and we drove by that the really last summer. I

822
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.880
<v Speaker 3>was like, that's a little weird of a name. For

823
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:25.159
<v Speaker 3>an elderly retirement.

824
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think it's just funny.

825
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.800
<v Speaker 4>Monassori school is what I was thinking about earlier. Okay,

826
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:34.079
<v Speaker 4>I feel I've heard of it. I think the Waldorf

827
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.920
<v Speaker 4>education and Montesssori School kind of go hand in hand.

828
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:41.320
<v Speaker 4>I think they're very similar. I think the Waldorf School

829
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 4>probably puts more attention into holistic development. Okay, but interesting. Yeah,

830
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:53.119
<v Speaker 4>they're both kind of like alternatives to like traditional public

831
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:57.159
<v Speaker 4>school like what is it the Rothschild School system Rockefeller

832
00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:03.400
<v Speaker 4>School system basically where like the student has more individualized attention.

833
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:07.400
<v Speaker 4>It's more like it's like, hey, let's yeah, let's figure

834
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.119
<v Speaker 4>out how you like to learn the best and teach

835
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:11.000
<v Speaker 4>you in that way.

836
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

837
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:13.840
<v Speaker 4>And I also think that they tend to get more

838
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:18.519
<v Speaker 4>exercise and like hands on outside time.

839
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I was talking to a teacher recently, like, oh, it's

840
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.679
<v Speaker 3>when I was at Monroe last week, because there was

841
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:25.719
<v Speaker 3>someone there who was an elementary school teacher.

842
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:28.760
<v Speaker 2>This is wild.

843
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:33.039
<v Speaker 3>But apparently kids only get like less than thirty minutes

844
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:38.960
<v Speaker 3>of recess now what Yeah, which is absolutely crazy because

845
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:44.320
<v Speaker 3>especially young boys need far more being out there playing

846
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:45.320
<v Speaker 3>getting their energy out.

847
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

848
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Crazy, that's how they learn.

849
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I feel like we used to have like forty

850
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:52.400
<v Speaker 2>five minutes at least. Yeah.

851
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:56.840
<v Speaker 3>It was like forever Man, like going making up whole scenarios.

852
00:42:56.199 --> 00:42:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Out there, whole scenario married.

853
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Having kids and and you're my and playing Make Believes.

854
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.

855
00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:06.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, having a fort yeah, kicking girls.

856
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, playing Power Rangers and Batman versus Spider Man.

857
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:10.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all the craziest listeners.

858
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:12.960
<v Speaker 2>And one time me and my friend played Bible Man

859
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:17.320
<v Speaker 2>versus Star Fox. Really, yes, I remember that's fired Bible

860
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Man versus Star Fox and Bibleman one. Yeah.

861
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.280
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say that'd be a close one, but

862
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:22.639
<v Speaker 3>it would have to be Bible Man.

863
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:26.039
<v Speaker 2>It was close, it got a little scary, but Bibleman

864
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:30.159
<v Speaker 2>came out on three Biblemen of course. Yeah, of course

865
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:30.599
<v Speaker 2>I was.

866
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:31.400
<v Speaker 3>It's funny.

867
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:33.440
<v Speaker 4>Played a lot of soccer and a lot of football.

868
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, and came in dirty every time.

869
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Uh oh, I was a sucker of the slides.

870
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I was playing Bible Man versus Star Fars.

871
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Dude, that's that's crazy, because you know, I never saw

872
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:48.079
<v Speaker 3>Bible Man until I was like an adult singing on Reddit.

873
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I watched it when I was a kid.

874
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Like I didn't. I wasn't, dude, I was to that.

875
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. I just remember I went as Bible

876
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Man for Halloween one year.

877
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, way, straight up, that's amazing.

878
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I had Bible Man action figures, all of it. You

879
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.639
<v Speaker 2>googling Bible Man? Do you not know? It's scary?

880
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.119
<v Speaker 3>How do you even get your hands on this?

881
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:06.280
<v Speaker 1>What?

882
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Like?

883
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:07.840
<v Speaker 3>How do parents like?

884
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Where? Where? I don't know. That's just when it was

885
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:12.480
<v Speaker 2>first becoming a thing. You know, there was a it

886
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.559
<v Speaker 2>was a show. This looks ridiculous, it's crazy. Was it

887
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:17.800
<v Speaker 2>on TV? Like, this is some pretty underground show. I

888
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:19.800
<v Speaker 2>think it was on TV unless my parents bought like

889
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:24.159
<v Speaker 2>VHS or something. I thought it was on TV.

890
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.519
<v Speaker 4>My review here is this is the best part of

891
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:31.840
<v Speaker 4>every good superhero, like mixed into one for God with

892
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:32.679
<v Speaker 4>the worst colors.

893
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:33.840
<v Speaker 2>He has a lightsaber, dude.

894
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, isn't it like a has a cross on it? Yeah?

895
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

896
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:39.639
<v Speaker 4>He has a lightsaber. He has pretty much an Iron

897
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:44.119
<v Speaker 4>Man suit but it looks like a yeah, and he's

898
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:46.719
<v Speaker 4>got a Batman belt and a Batman cape.

899
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Let me see him.

900
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:52.880
<v Speaker 4>This is a mess, that's my guy.

901
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:55.599
<v Speaker 3>He does this is a mess. He quotes Bible verses.

902
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if that was the real one. Sorry,

903
00:44:58.480 --> 00:44:59.119
<v Speaker 2>we're derailing.

904
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 3>He's a powerful fing Yeah, he's powerful.

905
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:04.159
<v Speaker 2>He's very powerful, and he's definitely beat Starbucks.

906
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, no, I mean that's kind of where I

907
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:11.360
<v Speaker 3>was anticipating that would go, that he would win anyway.

908
00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:15.280
<v Speaker 3>So anthroposophy stands for the wisdom of the human being

909
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:19.400
<v Speaker 3>from the Greek anthroposts, which is human and sofio, which

910
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:23.840
<v Speaker 3>is wisdom. Right, So it is a spiritual science because

911
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:26.800
<v Speaker 3>the whole purpose of anthroposophy is like developing a system

912
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:31.480
<v Speaker 3>where you perceive higher worlds. You know, serious seekers can

913
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:36.039
<v Speaker 3>develop this. Everybody come, one and all, and the idea

914
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.719
<v Speaker 3>is to bridge the gap between the material and the

915
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:43.039
<v Speaker 3>spiritual through direct perception of higher worlds through inner development again,

916
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:45.360
<v Speaker 3>which there is a split here between at the time,

917
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:47.639
<v Speaker 3>which was the other popular movement theosophy, which is you

918
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:51.159
<v Speaker 3>go onto like trance medium ship that kind of you

919
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:52.800
<v Speaker 3>know that stuff is real, but it kind of scares

920
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:56.360
<v Speaker 3>me a little bit. Yeah, you know, like bringing in

921
00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:02.480
<v Speaker 3>other entities and personalities, Like I think that's a very

922
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:08.119
<v Speaker 3>narrow window of possibility where it's like truly a holy

923
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:11.519
<v Speaker 3>good thing. But I think that opens a doorway to

924
00:46:11.599 --> 00:46:12.320
<v Speaker 3>a lot of bad.

925
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if I'm honest, I don't know enough about it,

926
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:24.039
<v Speaker 2>but it always did feel a little a little dark.

927
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's the right word, but there's

928
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:30.440
<v Speaker 2>always something about it that's like, this seems a little dangerous.

929
00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, that's what it seems to me.

930
00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 2>It seems like something that you should only do if

931
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 2>you really really know what you're doing and are confident

932
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:44.119
<v Speaker 2>in what you're doing, because it seems like, yeah, I

933
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I don't know. I'd be way scared to

934
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:47.199
<v Speaker 2>do that.

935
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, no, I would never do that. Yeah, I'm

936
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:52.760
<v Speaker 3>not saying it's not real. I believe it is, really,

937
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:55.280
<v Speaker 3>I do know. But the thing is, like, you.

938
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Know, and I don't think that anybody who does it

939
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:58.480
<v Speaker 2>is like evil or anything like that.

940
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:00.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that, I know, I.

941
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Know, just like, yeah, it's like, damn, we could just

942
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 2>any any entity could come through, any spirit with any intentions.

943
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:11.480
<v Speaker 3>And you know, people could say the same thing about

944
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:14.199
<v Speaker 3>me seeing the orbs and shit or they do actually

945
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.280
<v Speaker 3>or or you know, even like meditation, and that's fine.

946
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm not I'm not saying that it is an evil act.

947
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:23.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying for me, it's like that that's that's uh,

948
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.159
<v Speaker 3>that seems like I don't know, it seems a little

949
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.360
<v Speaker 3>like playing with fire a little bit. Yeah, it's just

950
00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:29.559
<v Speaker 3>like it's a it's an uneasy unknown for me, but

951
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:31.679
<v Speaker 3>I will admit I don't know enough about it. Yeah,

952
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:36.199
<v Speaker 3>but it's very interesting for sure. Yes, and yeah. So

953
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:38.679
<v Speaker 3>the whole Steiner thing is like it's a path of

954
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:41.000
<v Speaker 3>knowledge to guide the spiritual and the human to the

955
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 3>spiritual in the universe. So there's a heavy emphasis on

956
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:49.320
<v Speaker 3>expanding your consciousness, uh, to have awareness of the macrocosm

957
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:53.360
<v Speaker 3>as well as the microcosm. So it's about actual expansion,

958
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:58.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, like experiencing expansion within your mind, becoming equally

959
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.880
<v Speaker 3>aware just kind of metaphorically speaking, equally aware of the

960
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.840
<v Speaker 3>cells within your system as you are aware of the

961
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:09.440
<v Speaker 3>stars within the universe. Which is interesting because doing meditations

962
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:13.239
<v Speaker 3>like that is very expansive. I have experienced some of

963
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:17.639
<v Speaker 3>those at Monroe and it is something that's very interesting,

964
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:22.239
<v Speaker 3>like going through some sort of guided process of visualizing

965
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.599
<v Speaker 3>the cells and then getting bigger and bigger and bigger

966
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.079
<v Speaker 3>and bigger. It's really awesome. So the core principles of anthroposophy. Right,

967
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:32.840
<v Speaker 3>so we're like basically a threefold being of obviously the

968
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.679
<v Speaker 3>body physical, the soul emotional and thinking, and then the spirit,

969
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:40.760
<v Speaker 3>which is like the eternal aspect of your being. Right,

970
00:48:41.880 --> 00:48:46.159
<v Speaker 3>We're seen as every evolving moving through cycles of reincarnation

971
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:52.760
<v Speaker 3>towards spiritual freedom, self awareness, liberation. It's all kind of

972
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:56.119
<v Speaker 3>like we're here evolving through the system across many lifetimes.

973
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:56.400
<v Speaker 2>You know.

974
00:48:56.480 --> 00:49:02.440
<v Speaker 3>The higher self, the spiritual world are real, according to

975
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:08.679
<v Speaker 3>the anthropasophical system, accessible through a refined perception, similar to

976
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:11.880
<v Speaker 3>how natural science studies the physical. So the idea is

977
00:49:11.880 --> 00:49:14.599
<v Speaker 3>you have a microscope that's looking at cells. While you

978
00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:18.519
<v Speaker 3>are the occult scientist, you are the spiritual scientist. An

979
00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:22.719
<v Speaker 3>anthroposophy does position itself as a cult science. Actually, the

980
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:26.960
<v Speaker 3>book a cult Science is a Rudolph Standard book. Let

981
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:30.760
<v Speaker 3>me get the exact name of that. I forgot. I

982
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.000
<v Speaker 3>glanced over this part. But he actually like was a

983
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.480
<v Speaker 3>somewhat of a scientist and not maybe he wasn't like

984
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 3>a actual like scientist scientist, but it was his fascination geometry, mathematics,

985
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:46.800
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, as a child when he

986
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:49.199
<v Speaker 3>had this inclination, Like I was talking about earlier. He

987
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:51.280
<v Speaker 3>had this inclination for like his inner being or whatever.

988
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:54.800
<v Speaker 3>He stumbled on a book about geometry, and he became

989
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.920
<v Speaker 3>obsessed with geometry, and he started studying science. He got

990
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.039
<v Speaker 3>really into I don't know how to pronounce this, a

991
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:05.360
<v Speaker 3>very famous German author. I guess he was like a

992
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:09.199
<v Speaker 3>poet philosopher. His name was Gota, you know what I'm

993
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:09.800
<v Speaker 3>talking about her?

994
00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

995
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's like one of the most famous German writers

996
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:15.400
<v Speaker 3>of all time. Yeah, and you probably would recognize the

997
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:18.880
<v Speaker 3>idea of a Faustian bargain. He created Faust. The story

998
00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:22.239
<v Speaker 3>of Faust is selling your soul at the crossroad. So

999
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:27.039
<v Speaker 3>Steiner was like obsessed with goat cool, so obsessed like

1000
00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:29.679
<v Speaker 3>trying to translate and interpret his works. He believed he

1001
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:33.480
<v Speaker 3>was like a very very prominent philosopher as his child,

1002
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:36.079
<v Speaker 3>even like studying his writings, you know what I mean?

1003
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:37.880
<v Speaker 2>So wow, how cool is that man?

1004
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he had a huge fascination with science and mathematics,

1005
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:46.960
<v Speaker 3>so he kind of positions anthroposophy as occult science. I'm

1006
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:48.159
<v Speaker 3>trying to find the name of that book.

1007
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Was this one of the books that you read today?

1008
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:53.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I didn't have time to read this one. It's

1009
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:57.119
<v Speaker 3>called an outline of a cult science. But Steiner, yeah,

1010
00:50:57.360 --> 00:50:59.440
<v Speaker 3>I have started reading this before, but I was like,

1011
00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:03.760
<v Speaker 3>this is Yeah, that was many years ago. But yeah,

1012
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:07.000
<v Speaker 3>so occult science an outline of ocult science. So if

1013
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:10.719
<v Speaker 3>you've ever heard of the notion of the occult being

1014
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.719
<v Speaker 3>a science, which is a popular notion.

1015
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Certainly it comes from him. Got it. He's the dude.

1016
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:18.400
<v Speaker 3>He's the dude.

1017
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Yes, that's so cool. He was obviously so passionate

1018
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:23.519
<v Speaker 2>about it from such a young age. He made like

1019
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:26.760
<v Speaker 2>major breakthroughs in this field. Yeah, and defined it right,

1020
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.280
<v Speaker 2>defined it for future generations. Yeah.

1021
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.039
<v Speaker 3>And there's other ideas that he's come up with two

1022
00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:32.639
<v Speaker 3>that will cover in a bit that we've actually talked

1023
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.800
<v Speaker 3>about before. Namely, people could probably hark all the way

1024
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:41.599
<v Speaker 3>back to our earlier catalog of episodes and find one

1025
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:46.679
<v Speaker 3>called good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds about zoro Aster,

1026
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:49.199
<v Speaker 3>And in that episode we talk a little bit about

1027
00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Rudolph Steiner.

1028
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:52.280
<v Speaker 2>And what episode number is it.

1029
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:56.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm just gonna throw it out there. Fifty nine.

1030
00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, check it out, look it up.

1031
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:02.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that was a complete guess, but ut,

1032
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:04.920
<v Speaker 3>y'all let me launch it. That's right, yeah, because we're

1033
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:09.000
<v Speaker 3>two hundred. Now, that would be insane, right, that was

1034
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:13.679
<v Speaker 3>a complete random number anyway. Yeah, So we do briefly

1035
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:16.079
<v Speaker 3>talk about Steiner in that episode for like a moment,

1036
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:20.239
<v Speaker 3>because the idea of Ariman, yes or the or also

1037
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.000
<v Speaker 3>known as Angraminu, you know, the evil spirit of the world.

1038
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:26.239
<v Speaker 3>Rudolph Steiner has this whole system. I think he has

1039
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:30.000
<v Speaker 3>a book actually called The Aromanic Deception, which is the

1040
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:33.960
<v Speaker 3>idea that at some point in human history Satan was born.

1041
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:40.480
<v Speaker 3>At some random point, we decided there's an evil entity, yeah,

1042
00:52:40.519 --> 00:52:41.280
<v Speaker 3>and began to.

1043
00:52:41.360 --> 00:52:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Charge this concept.

1044
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:46.239
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, this energy, Yes, egre gore and feed it

1045
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.960
<v Speaker 3>and yeah. So it's the Aromanic deception, the idea that

1046
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.199
<v Speaker 3>there is an evil spiritual force, but who knows, maybe

1047
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:52.920
<v Speaker 3>we created it?

1048
00:52:53.000 --> 00:53:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, that's what number is it. I'll bout you a piece, I.

1049
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:05.320
<v Speaker 3>S yeah, that's fine, that's fine.

1050
00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.639
<v Speaker 2>What or you no feats or you can swap it

1051
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:09.320
<v Speaker 2>for a mcdouble.

1052
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:11.920
<v Speaker 3>You've been watching. Uh he's found it down.

1053
00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh you don't get no feet.

1054
00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:19.239
<v Speaker 3>That's just funny, man. You know that's a weird little synchronicity.

1055
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Is a shout out Kylee Bear from the voice actor Gohan,

1056
00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:26.079
<v Speaker 3>he just sent me. We had were just talking about

1057
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:26.760
<v Speaker 3>that earlier.

1058
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:28.599
<v Speaker 2>What right you found down.

1059
00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:33.199
<v Speaker 3>Downy McBride, because he sent me a gift of that show.

1060
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh we'ound down.

1061
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:39.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're a little synchronosity there, but anyway, that's kind

1062
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:41.000
<v Speaker 3>of crazy though, being ten off from.

1063
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:42.679
<v Speaker 2>The number, that's pretty damn good.

1064
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:43.320
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of close.

1065
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.760
<v Speaker 2>That's why you can get a mcdouble, yeah, or a tenpiece.

1066
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:48.159
<v Speaker 3>A ten piece, because I could get that from they're

1067
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:50.360
<v Speaker 3>both about twenty dollars a tempoce.

1068
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:53.159
<v Speaker 2>No, No, he's just an inflation joke.

1069
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:57.119
<v Speaker 4>I'm just mad man me too. I'm just mad you.

1070
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.679
<v Speaker 4>I just want to affordable mcdouble.

1071
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I could do, that's all. I could do an hour

1072
00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:04.039
<v Speaker 2>long episode about how mad I am about the price

1073
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:04.800
<v Speaker 2>of things right now.

1074
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:08.599
<v Speaker 3>No, dude, I try not to think too much about it. Same,

1075
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:12.840
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, I just yeah, yeah, kind of like that.

1076
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:17.480
<v Speaker 3>It's like, oh shit, yeah, it's getting ridiculous, but so

1077
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:20.880
<v Speaker 3>super sensual. I think I did just say this part.

1078
00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:23.639
<v Speaker 3>But like supersensible perception, right, The idea is that the

1079
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:26.199
<v Speaker 3>spiritual worlds are real, and this is a science in

1080
00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:28.719
<v Speaker 3>the sense that it's like explore this, you know, develop

1081
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:32.800
<v Speaker 3>these faculties and explore the spiritual world yourself. Through meditation,

1082
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:37.960
<v Speaker 3>moral development, self discipline, one can awaken the higher faculties

1083
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:44.000
<v Speaker 3>of consciousness and experience expansion. Okay, Carmen reincarnation. Human destinies

1084
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.840
<v Speaker 3>unfold over lifetimes in a moral and a lawful universe

1085
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:47.840
<v Speaker 3>sounds great.

1086
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1087
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:52.039
<v Speaker 3>Each life is an opportunity for spiritual learning and balancing

1088
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:58.039
<v Speaker 3>past actions. Steiner considered the Christ event to be the

1089
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:02.639
<v Speaker 3>central turning point in here in spiritual evolution. Christ is

1090
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:05.360
<v Speaker 3>seen not in the religious terms, but as a cosmic

1091
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:09.039
<v Speaker 3>being who brought the possibility of inner freedom and individual

1092
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:14.199
<v Speaker 3>spiritual awakening. A key goal and this is something that

1093
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I really appreciate about this system. A key goal is

1094
00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:25.000
<v Speaker 3>the development of ethical individualism, the capacity to act freely

1095
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:31.119
<v Speaker 3>out of love and insight, not compulsion or dogma. In

1096
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:34.760
<v Speaker 3>other words, you're gonna go to hell if you're not

1097
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:37.760
<v Speaker 3>kind to your neighbor, because it says, you know, let

1098
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.760
<v Speaker 3>he who's without sin cast the first stone. You're gonna

1099
00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:42.480
<v Speaker 3>go to hell if you don't treat others how you

1100
00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:44.199
<v Speaker 3>want to be treated, because it says in the Bible

1101
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:46.159
<v Speaker 3>you're supposed to treat others how you want to be treated.

1102
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:48.360
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna go to Hell if you don't. YadA YadA, yad,

1103
00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:51.199
<v Speaker 3>YadA YadA. No, that's yeah, there's all these consequences. You're

1104
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:52.960
<v Speaker 3>not really You're so messed up in the head. It's like,

1105
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:55.320
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, I'm just trying to survive hell.

1106
00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:57.519
<v Speaker 2>You are walking through life in fear.

1107
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm I'm trying not. That was my childhood as

1108
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:02.159
<v Speaker 3>a Christian. It was like, I love God, I love Jesus,

1109
00:56:02.199 --> 00:56:03.440
<v Speaker 3>but I'm scared.

1110
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:03.719
<v Speaker 2>To go to Hell.

1111
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:06.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm playing in bed every night praying.

1112
00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my God all the time, bear me constantly. All

1113
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I could ever think about.

1114
00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:14.199
<v Speaker 3>I can't stand this nightmares because then I go to

1115
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:16.039
<v Speaker 3>church every day and it's like you're gonna burn in

1116
00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:18.519
<v Speaker 3>the flames of Hell. I'm like, oh, ship.

1117
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:21.360
<v Speaker 2>When comes the part where I enjoy any of this,

1118
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:23.719
<v Speaker 2>like something good happens.

1119
00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:26.599
<v Speaker 3>It's it's a lot of it's a lot of trauma

1120
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:27.840
<v Speaker 3>about you know.

1121
00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:31.719
<v Speaker 2>They literally tell you fear God, yeah, fear God.

1122
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:34.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, work work out your salvation with fear and trembling

1123
00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.920
<v Speaker 3>before the Lord. Yes, and you know I get there.

1124
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:40.719
<v Speaker 3>There's an aspect of that that I do understand. Like,

1125
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:45.400
<v Speaker 3>for example, you know, if you see an omni dimensional being,

1126
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:48.920
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh fuck, you're scared. You know, it's it's

1127
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:53.519
<v Speaker 3>like behold the power. But it's like, you know, fear

1128
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:56.840
<v Speaker 3>fear God in the sense that like, you know, if

1129
00:56:56.840 --> 00:57:00.320
<v Speaker 3>you act up, you're gonna be cast to hell forever. Yeah,

1130
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:02.639
<v Speaker 3>I just I don't I don't know, I don't see

1131
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:08.559
<v Speaker 3>it like that. But but but but but what I

1132
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:11.840
<v Speaker 3>like about this system is those who truly walk the path.

1133
00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:17.039
<v Speaker 3>The emphasis here is on the freedom the actual individual

1134
00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:22.800
<v Speaker 3>desire outside of compulsion or fear, judgment or dogma, the

1135
00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:28.400
<v Speaker 3>actual individual desire to grow morally and ethically. That's where

1136
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.159
<v Speaker 3>it's out. That's that's what it's it. That's the real magic.

1137
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:32.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you actually.

1138
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Care to be better, yes, and you care to.

1139
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Be morally sound morally better, yeah, that's the magic.

1140
00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Something that is crucial to this Steiner system of development

1141
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:47.159
<v Speaker 3>anthroposophy is that a part of expanding your consciousness and

1142
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:53.760
<v Speaker 3>awaking your spiritual faculties is constantly basically being christ Like,

1143
00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:57.360
<v Speaker 3>basically like being being a moral individual for the desire

1144
00:57:57.400 --> 00:57:59.199
<v Speaker 3>of it, for the for the love of it, for

1145
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:02.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, want wanting to be a better being for

1146
00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:04.440
<v Speaker 3>being connected to the spirit. It has nothing to do

1147
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:08.159
<v Speaker 3>with being sent to hell or judged or any sort

1148
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:10.280
<v Speaker 3>of fear of consequence. But it's about the actual desire

1149
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:12.599
<v Speaker 3>to be better and to treat other people as defined beings.

1150
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:14.719
<v Speaker 3>And the idea is that the more that you focus

1151
00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:18.559
<v Speaker 3>on this and and live a christ like life, you know,

1152
00:58:18.599 --> 00:58:21.199
<v Speaker 3>And if you're not particularly fond of Christ, that's fine.

1153
00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you like Buddha, that's fine, it doesn't matter. Don't

1154
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:25.679
<v Speaker 3>get so hung up on it.

1155
00:58:26.039 --> 00:58:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not about that.

1156
00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:31.199
<v Speaker 3>It's about being, right, It's about the act of being.

1157
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:34.920
<v Speaker 3>It's about the art of being, you know, the magic

1158
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:37.880
<v Speaker 3>of it, the magic of being. Yeah, that's all it

1159
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:40.800
<v Speaker 3>is about. It's about being. It's not about what you

1160
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:43.480
<v Speaker 3>think or what you believe. To an extent. It is

1161
00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:47.480
<v Speaker 3>to an extent, sure, you know, but ultimately at the core,

1162
00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:50.039
<v Speaker 3>if I think the shirt you're wearing right now is green,

1163
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:53.320
<v Speaker 3>well I'm living a fucking delusion. So to an extent,

1164
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:55.800
<v Speaker 3>it's about what you think, you know what I mean,

1165
00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:58.559
<v Speaker 3>But that's not really the purpose of it, you know,

1166
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:02.280
<v Speaker 3>gets so hung up on that's but but yeah, it's

1167
00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:04.679
<v Speaker 3>about being, and the more that you focus on being

1168
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:08.280
<v Speaker 3>a better person and vibrating as like this beautiful loving

1169
00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:12.639
<v Speaker 3>being that your consciousness will unfold. It will like that lotus,

1170
00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:14.480
<v Speaker 3>it blooms, you know, it blooms in the mud. But

1171
00:59:14.519 --> 00:59:19.039
<v Speaker 3>it's still this, this beautiful inner being, and your spiritual

1172
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:23.079
<v Speaker 3>faculties will grow. You will have higher levels of awareness,

1173
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:28.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, and who knows, maybe be able to perceive

1174
00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:31.559
<v Speaker 3>higher worlds. So I'm gonna skip over a little bit

1175
00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:34.280
<v Speaker 3>of this stuff that I've already covered, like anthroposophic medicine

1176
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.000
<v Speaker 3>and agriculture. That's all right, it's not that interesting to me.

1177
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:44.320
<v Speaker 3>So just a couple of differences between like you know,

1178
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:51.119
<v Speaker 3>anthroposophy and theosophy. The idea of theosophy is like, for example,

1179
00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:54.800
<v Speaker 3>there's a universal wisdom religion behind all faiths, and there

1180
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:58.559
<v Speaker 3>is a unity between Eastern and Western esotericism. Fully agree,

1181
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:02.159
<v Speaker 3>sure fully, it's like hello.

1182
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Because again it's the same thing, it's just accessing it different.

1183
01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:08.159
<v Speaker 3>Ways, right, right, right, what's the what's what's the what's

1184
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:12.360
<v Speaker 3>the most efficient way, or what's the way that truly

1185
01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:13.000
<v Speaker 3>works for me?

1186
01:00:13.079 --> 01:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>It's different methods, right, that's all.

1187
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.079
<v Speaker 3>And then the difference there with anthroposophy is it's it's

1188
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:25.760
<v Speaker 3>seen as a spiritual science to expand your inner perception.

1189
01:00:27.519 --> 01:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>And it's also bridging the difference, or maybe the difference

1190
01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:35.719
<v Speaker 3>isn't the right word, bridging the gap between the macrocosm

1191
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:39.159
<v Speaker 3>and the microcosm, and the emphasis is on the fact

1192
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:44.159
<v Speaker 3>that all of reality itself is evolving. The macrocosm is evolving,

1193
01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the microcosm is evolving, our spiritual higher being is evolving,

1194
01:00:48.119 --> 01:00:50.719
<v Speaker 3>the physical earthly plane is evolving. It's all evolving. It's

1195
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:53.599
<v Speaker 3>all being. Everything is being. The only real thing is being,

1196
01:00:54.119 --> 01:01:02.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, the being the universe, right, obviously, you know,

1197
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>theosophy says God is impersonal, it's many different masters guiding humanity.

1198
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's true, maybe it is. But then anthroposophy says

1199
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:21.119
<v Speaker 3>Christ is the pivotal personal incarnation of the divine. So

1200
01:01:21.119 --> 01:01:23.760
<v Speaker 3>in other words, this is the dude that came here

1201
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:27.960
<v Speaker 3>many many, many years ago, and you know, was like

1202
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:33.599
<v Speaker 3>the godhood reflected into one being and was like peace, motherfuckers,

1203
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:36.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm out, and I'll do it too. I think that's true,

1204
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:39.679
<v Speaker 3>But I think the other is true too. I think

1205
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:44.679
<v Speaker 3>that there are multiple I just think that Christ was

1206
01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:46.239
<v Speaker 3>the most recent one.

1207
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Sure, yes, right, yes, yes.

1208
01:01:48.119 --> 01:01:50.119
<v Speaker 3>And you know, if you think about the most recent

1209
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:55.039
<v Speaker 3>hit movie you've seen, I can't tell you what it

1210
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:58.400
<v Speaker 3>is for you, you know, but if you talk to somebody

1211
01:01:58.719 --> 01:02:02.079
<v Speaker 3>in the nineteen thirty about the most recent hit movie

1212
01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:05.360
<v Speaker 3>they saw, maybe it was fucking awesome. Oh but but

1213
01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:08.360
<v Speaker 3>as time evolves in our technology evolves, in our understanding

1214
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:11.519
<v Speaker 3>of film, and all these things evolved. You know, over time,

1215
01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:14.199
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna have better movies. Yeah, they're gonna leave a

1216
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:16.239
<v Speaker 3>bigger end. But it's like that, you know what I mean, Like,

1217
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:17.599
<v Speaker 3>that's that's what I think about Christ.

1218
01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I think it was talking because it's recent.

1219
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he had all the ship that came from

1220
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:23.119
<v Speaker 3>all the ship before him.

1221
01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>And we can look at in history, we can look

1222
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>at the moments where people were hype on the other incarnations, right,

1223
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:32.079
<v Speaker 2>it obviously happened.

1224
01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Like Plato I think is one of them.

1225
01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Ruh. And like there's there's from every mythology, there's always

1226
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:42.199
<v Speaker 2>in they like share so many details. It's like all

1227
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:43.679
<v Speaker 2>this it's like the same story.

1228
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:46.480
<v Speaker 3>I think there's many illumined beings as a matter of fact,

1229
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:52.119
<v Speaker 3>who who have furthered this knowledge for humanity, Like you know, Plato, Pythagoras,

1230
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>many of them Aristotle. But I think Jesus did something

1231
01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:59.440
<v Speaker 3>special because he literally went out into the wilderness and

1232
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:02.480
<v Speaker 3>the government. It was like, holy shit, he has a

1233
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:06.159
<v Speaker 3>crowd of five thousand people walking around him. That's probably

1234
01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:08.920
<v Speaker 3>really scary. Oh, if you're in a place of power

1235
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>and you're looking down out the window of your castle

1236
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:13.639
<v Speaker 3>and you're like, uh, why is there a mob of

1237
01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>five thousand people, think about Yeah, he was, he was.

1238
01:03:18.840 --> 01:03:20.079
<v Speaker 3>He was doing something real shit.

1239
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh, no doubt, you know, no doubt.

1240
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Take all the religious you know, angle of it out

1241
01:03:26.039 --> 01:03:27.239
<v Speaker 3>of the way, and just look at the history.

1242
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Like he was.

1243
01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:30.800
<v Speaker 3>He was doing some pretty pretty next level ship you know,

1244
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:35.960
<v Speaker 3>movie mobs of yes, blowing their minds and waking them up,

1245
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>and there was something very real topening. Okay. So then

1246
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:43.920
<v Speaker 3>as far as like karma and reincarnation, you look at, uh,

1247
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:48.079
<v Speaker 3>the moral law of cause and effect or it is

1248
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:52.079
<v Speaker 3>like the soul's cyclical evolution coming from karmen reincarnation, but

1249
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:55.239
<v Speaker 3>then from the Rudolph Steiner system that was the theosophy system.

1250
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>For the Rudolph Seiner system, the difference, for example, is

1251
01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:00.920
<v Speaker 3>more of a Christian lens that's about individual moral freedom.

1252
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't really have an opinion on that. I can't

1253
01:04:02.960 --> 01:04:05.639
<v Speaker 3>claim to know the exact science of reincarnation. I just

1254
01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:09.079
<v Speaker 3>believe that it's completely real. Then we have the path

1255
01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:11.639
<v Speaker 3>and knowledge, right Whereas theosophy is about the study of

1256
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:16.480
<v Speaker 3>the occult script, psychic mediumship, comparing the different religions, great,

1257
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:19.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, all great stuff. But then where I love

1258
01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:24.800
<v Speaker 3>the Steiner system and is more my speed is the

1259
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:29.920
<v Speaker 3>inner work, the moral development, the scientific attitude towards attaining

1260
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:34.000
<v Speaker 3>knowledge of the spiritual worlds. And that inner work is

1261
01:04:34.039 --> 01:04:38.639
<v Speaker 3>in the form of meditation. So whereas it's become so

1262
01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:41.320
<v Speaker 3>basically to boil it all down, Steiner has a whole

1263
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:45.960
<v Speaker 3>system of like how you meditate again, sound familiar?

1264
01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it does very much.

1265
01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:50.880
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, right, it's you know again, this is not me,

1266
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:55.480
<v Speaker 3>as somebody who is maybe potentially officially involved with Minroe

1267
01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:57.400
<v Speaker 3>having an opinion. But this is me, as a podcaster

1268
01:04:57.519 --> 01:05:00.000
<v Speaker 3>who likes to talk about comparative mythologies, having an opinion.

1269
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:00.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's just true.

1270
01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:01.599
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of overlap.

1271
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:04.719
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of overlap between what obvious because Monroe

1272
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:09.960
<v Speaker 3>has no dogma, right, But they they I don't even

1273
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:12.519
<v Speaker 3>know if they're aware of all these little things. Sure,

1274
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.920
<v Speaker 3>maybe maybe many of them there are, but it wasn't

1275
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:18.440
<v Speaker 3>formed with this. I do know that Robert Monroe was

1276
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:23.039
<v Speaker 3>very interested in Edgar Casey, but he wasn't like studying

1277
01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:25.800
<v Speaker 3>this shit. Sure, it was just happening to him exactly.

1278
01:05:25.840 --> 01:05:30.079
<v Speaker 3>It was just having spontaneous experiences and over time, through

1279
01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:32.840
<v Speaker 3>the scientific process that the institute was formed. And like

1280
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.159
<v Speaker 3>it's it's it's very similar to a lot of this

1281
01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:39.599
<v Speaker 3>kind of you know, Steiner stuff. Obviously without the mystical

1282
01:05:39.639 --> 01:05:43.039
<v Speaker 3>Christian slant, there's no dogma, but of course the protocol,

1283
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:46.800
<v Speaker 3>the the method of expanding and unfolding your consciousness through

1284
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:49.880
<v Speaker 3>the inner work, through the meditation, through expanding awareness, it's

1285
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:57.360
<v Speaker 3>very early similar and very real and experiential. Right. So again,

1286
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:01.440
<v Speaker 3>the large body of theosophical work came through revelatory channel

1287
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:06.639
<v Speaker 3>teachings and then through Steiner's methods. That dude was out

1288
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>there just meditating and meditating and meditating and going to

1289
01:06:10.039 --> 01:06:14.280
<v Speaker 3>these places, you know, leaving the body or you could say,

1290
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:21.239
<v Speaker 3>by locating his consciousness, and he was studying these spiritual

1291
01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:26.079
<v Speaker 3>realms of consciousness and coming back with higher knowledge. And

1292
01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:33.400
<v Speaker 3>that's pretty I think we're pretty much at the different

1293
01:06:33.559 --> 01:06:37.599
<v Speaker 3>or at the wrap there of like comparing theosophy and anthroposophy,

1294
01:06:37.639 --> 01:06:39.639
<v Speaker 3>but just to get into a couple of core doctrines

1295
01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:46.800
<v Speaker 3>of anthroposophy to kind of round us out. So we're

1296
01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:52.519
<v Speaker 3>fourfold actually the etheric body, the life body, which is

1297
01:06:52.519 --> 01:06:54.440
<v Speaker 3>the force of life and growth, which is shared with

1298
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:58.559
<v Speaker 3>plants and animals. The astral body, which is where our emotions, desires,

1299
01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:01.599
<v Speaker 3>and consciousness, which is shared with animals. Obviously, we have

1300
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:06.440
<v Speaker 3>the physical body material invisible, but then we have the eye,

1301
01:07:07.039 --> 01:07:12.840
<v Speaker 3>ego or self, which is like unique to human beings.

1302
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Animals don't have this, plants don't have this. We have

1303
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:21.039
<v Speaker 3>this ascended being that has its own individual personality that

1304
01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:25.960
<v Speaker 3>it's seeking to express and that it is evolving. It's

1305
01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:28.159
<v Speaker 3>the ego, the eye, he calls it the eye.

1306
01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1307
01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:35.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. We have three functional systems, which is the nervous

1308
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:38.880
<v Speaker 3>sensory system or the thinking head centered related to perception

1309
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:42.679
<v Speaker 3>and cognition, rhythmic system which is feeling centered in the

1310
01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:46.079
<v Speaker 3>heart and lungs, mediating emotion and balance. And the metabolic

1311
01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:50.159
<v Speaker 3>limb system, which is the willing system or rooted in

1312
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:55.320
<v Speaker 3>movement and action. And this is how the Steiner system

1313
01:07:55.360 --> 01:07:58.719
<v Speaker 3>believes that the spiritual reality is actually manifesting within us,

1314
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:00.599
<v Speaker 3>kind of like how you have different ideas chakras and

1315
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:03.440
<v Speaker 3>energy systems or astra bodies and the way through you.

1316
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, that's fascinating. The rhythmic system, that's that's curious.

1317
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Interesting phrasing. Yeah, I just never heard it.

1318
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:12.960
<v Speaker 3>And it's about feelings, right, I've never.

1319
01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Heard it heart phrased like that. That's really cool.

1320
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:16.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, with the hearts on our read.

1321
01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Of course, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, it's that's fascinating.

1322
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:25.359
<v Speaker 3>There is a general outline of like the evolution of humanity,

1323
01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:30.119
<v Speaker 3>and this is very very uh concise. I just pulled

1324
01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:33.399
<v Speaker 3>like a lot of different bodies of concise information here,

1325
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:37.159
<v Speaker 3>but basically in occult science and outline, which is the

1326
01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:40.359
<v Speaker 3>book I mentioned earlier, the Earth is one stage in

1327
01:08:40.399 --> 01:08:44.039
<v Speaker 3>a very long cosmic evolution, preceded by the Old Saturn,

1328
01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:46.520
<v Speaker 3>the Old Sun, and the Old Moon epochs. So there

1329
01:08:46.520 --> 01:08:50.720
<v Speaker 3>were different evolutionary periods of humanity where these different celestial

1330
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:54.159
<v Speaker 3>bodies were dominant, I guess, And we are evolving through

1331
01:08:54.560 --> 01:09:01.199
<v Speaker 3>cultural epochs like Ancient Indian, Persian, Egyptian, Greco Roman and

1332
01:09:01.239 --> 01:09:04.520
<v Speaker 3>our current epochs. So at these different cultural epochs, the

1333
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:08.560
<v Speaker 3>the ritual myth system of the time was dominant.

1334
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:09.319
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1335
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:12.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wonder why Tibet's not on here. Maybe maybe

1336
01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:14.399
<v Speaker 3>it's in there. I'm not sure. Because this is a short,

1337
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:17.880
<v Speaker 3>little concise list. We are now in the fifth epoch.

1338
01:09:18.079 --> 01:09:23.560
<v Speaker 3>According to anthroposophy, that sounds sick developing conscious individual freedom.

1339
01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Which part sounds sick? It does?

1340
01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:31.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Or a song

1341
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:33.319
<v Speaker 3>or an album you know what that sounds like. That

1342
01:09:33.399 --> 01:09:38.439
<v Speaker 3>sounds like U two thousand and nine Christian metalcore album.

1343
01:09:37.880 --> 01:09:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Skillet.

1344
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:44.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I was thinking, like, you know, some kind of

1345
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:49.199
<v Speaker 3>like you know, like for today type yeah, yeah, yeah,

1346
01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:53.520
<v Speaker 3>and they're just like pick sweeping right then? Right then?

1347
01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:57.960
<v Speaker 3>That was today was literally like everyone, Yeah, I still

1348
01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:01.359
<v Speaker 3>love that one. I hear it. Yeah, yeah, it's not

1349
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:02.279
<v Speaker 3>so common anymore.

1350
01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:04.439
<v Speaker 2>No, no, it's not. I think I think it was

1351
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:07.680
<v Speaker 2>a little gimmicky and people were like, hmmm, because it's

1352
01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:10.920
<v Speaker 2>only really applicable. It's it's nerdy guitar stuff. It's like

1353
01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:13.399
<v Speaker 2>such a niche thing that you have to learn how

1354
01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to do, and then it's you can only apply it

1355
01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:18.039
<v Speaker 2>that one specific way that it's like when It does

1356
01:10:18.079 --> 01:10:18.640
<v Speaker 2>sound cool.

1357
01:10:18.520 --> 01:10:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Though, yeah, nostalgic. Yeah, but so yeah, Christ is like

1358
01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:28.439
<v Speaker 3>the core, this cosmic being or the sun spirit, not

1359
01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:32.479
<v Speaker 3>just son but like s u n And he has

1360
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:35.800
<v Speaker 3>this concept known as the Mystery of Golgotha, which is

1361
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:39.279
<v Speaker 3>if you know about gold Gotha, that's where that's the

1362
01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:42.600
<v Speaker 3>place of bones. I'm pretty sure that's where Jesus was crucified.

1363
01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, let me double check that. So I don't

1364
01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:46.880
<v Speaker 3>sound like an idiot because I hadn't been to church

1365
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:51.319
<v Speaker 3>in like eight years. Go, I know, I know it's

1366
01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:53.840
<v Speaker 3>either where he was crucified or it's where Judas.

1367
01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Was killed in. That sounds like a either Swedish or

1368
01:10:58.359 --> 01:10:59.399
<v Speaker 2>German metal band.

1369
01:10:59.600 --> 01:11:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like a black metal band, yes, yes, I bet

1370
01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:05.720
<v Speaker 3>it is, as it has to be.

1371
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Also kind of sounds like a Pokemon a little bit.

1372
01:11:09.239 --> 01:11:12.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he was, he was crucified in Goldgtha. It does

1373
01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:13.680
<v Speaker 3>kind of sound like a Pokemon.

1374
01:11:13.279 --> 01:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

1375
01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:16.640
<v Speaker 3>I guarantee you. There's a metal band.

1376
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Called and There they are?

1377
01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:21.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh perfect? Yeah?

1378
01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Are they they are? They're Spanish melodic doom slash death metal.

1379
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, that's sick.

1380
01:11:29.159 --> 01:11:30.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, come on.

1381
01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Now, good for them. That's awesome.

1382
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:36.840
<v Speaker 3>So the idea is that through the crucifixion, this cosmic being.

1383
01:11:37.039 --> 01:11:39.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, if you look at Jesus the man, the

1384
01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:43.680
<v Speaker 3>historical figure, he's like an avatar. He was, he was

1385
01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:46.760
<v Speaker 3>a person, you know, but there was according to the

1386
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:53.760
<v Speaker 3>Steiner system, there's this grand cosmic impulse of the divine

1387
01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:57.600
<v Speaker 3>that he became an avatar for that there was some

1388
01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:01.399
<v Speaker 3>greater spirit. See, the church teaches Jesus is God. It's

1389
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:04.000
<v Speaker 3>three and one. He is God, but he's also Christ.

1390
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:06.520
<v Speaker 3>But he's also you know, and it's like very confusing,

1391
01:12:07.279 --> 01:12:08.680
<v Speaker 3>and everyone's like nobody gets it.

1392
01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't get it. No, I really don't know.

1393
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:14.119
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm trying to understand this whole thing. But

1394
01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:16.199
<v Speaker 3>like I remember being in church and everybody there's all

1395
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:19.000
<v Speaker 3>these theories. Man, you google it. Everybody has all these

1396
01:12:19.000 --> 01:12:21.199
<v Speaker 3>different theories about what does it mean? Is he God?

1397
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:23.359
<v Speaker 3>Is he not? Is was he a man?

1398
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>No?

1399
01:12:23.920 --> 01:12:25.399
<v Speaker 3>You can't ever say he was a man because he

1400
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:28.439
<v Speaker 3>was God? Oh wait, but I thought he was born right, Yeah, but.

1401
01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:31.079
<v Speaker 2>He was born? But you know what I mean. Also,

1402
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:34.640
<v Speaker 2>when he's getting crucified, he's saying, Father, why have you

1403
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:38.560
<v Speaker 2>forsaken me? Like why would he be saying that if

1404
01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that was him, it's like there's a lot of conceptual inconsistencies.

1405
01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, what are we talking about. Well, you know,

1406
01:12:47.720 --> 01:12:51.720
<v Speaker 3>the obvious answer to me is probably because they came

1407
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:54.760
<v Speaker 3>up with all that dogma later. Yes, you know exactly.

1408
01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:57.600
<v Speaker 3>He was just going through this shit. Yeah, and he

1409
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:00.239
<v Speaker 3>was just talking and then all these years later they

1410
01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:02.560
<v Speaker 3>came up with all these charts and they're like, man,

1411
01:13:02.600 --> 01:13:06.199
<v Speaker 3>how can we really like standardize this and you know,

1412
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:11.880
<v Speaker 3>make money off this? Simply good, gotta figure out money

1413
01:13:11.920 --> 01:13:15.720
<v Speaker 3>on this. That was so true.

1414
01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:16.319
<v Speaker 2>That's so.

1415
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:19.960
<v Speaker 3>But I really do think that he was just like

1416
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:22.039
<v Speaker 3>a guy who came here, and he was he was

1417
01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:24.640
<v Speaker 3>an amazing guy who came here, just like we're sitting

1418
01:13:24.640 --> 01:13:26.520
<v Speaker 3>here talking about Rudolph Steiner, because he figured out all

1419
01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:28.920
<v Speaker 3>this crazy ass ship and and Jesus was one of

1420
01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:31.239
<v Speaker 3>those people and he was like an avatar for some

1421
01:13:31.560 --> 01:13:36.880
<v Speaker 3>really for some really special thing. Yeah, something very real.

1422
01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:39.239
<v Speaker 2>But for sure, I yeah, I agree.

1423
01:13:39.479 --> 01:13:42.800
<v Speaker 3>And according to the you know, the the theosophical not

1424
01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:47.960
<v Speaker 3>theosophical the anthrop Damn, that's hard, the anthropersophical system, he

1425
01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:50.920
<v Speaker 3>continues to work in the etheric realm, not just as

1426
01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:55.079
<v Speaker 3>a past historical figure, but as an actual current being. Yeah,

1427
01:13:55.199 --> 01:14:00.199
<v Speaker 3>that the and that we will the second coming of Christ.

1428
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:06.399
<v Speaker 3>According to this is, that's like a entertainment that we

1429
01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:07.920
<v Speaker 3>will be able to achieve.

1430
01:14:07.920 --> 01:14:08.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like an awakening.

1431
01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:14.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like achieving Christ consciousness, right, which fully what I believe. Yeah,

1432
01:14:14.199 --> 01:14:17.079
<v Speaker 3>avatar state, that's that's another way to explain it. But

1433
01:14:17.119 --> 01:14:19.279
<v Speaker 3>I do believe in the idea of like Christ consciousness,

1434
01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Like there's coming a time. And dude, it's like the

1435
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.840
<v Speaker 3>suffering is so fucking great for humanity, Like we do

1436
01:14:24.920 --> 01:14:28.880
<v Speaker 3>need some new thing. We need a new way of thinking,

1437
01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:30.960
<v Speaker 3>a new way of ch It's the only way we'll survive.

1438
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's killing each other, you know, constantly. And you know,

1439
01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:38.840
<v Speaker 3>it's like that's another thing about the Steiner system too,

1440
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:43.600
<v Speaker 3>that perpetual positive thinking, you know, manifesting a better reality.

1441
01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Initiation three pathways in ancient times to initiation as they

1442
01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:54.840
<v Speaker 3>progressed according to the anthroposophic system, there was the ancient

1443
01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Rishis of India, which was you know, yoga. They were

1444
01:14:57.880 --> 01:15:05.880
<v Speaker 3>doing inherently brett you know, breathing exercises, meditation, things like that.

1445
01:15:05.960 --> 01:15:08.720
<v Speaker 3>It was helping people to go out of body and

1446
01:15:08.800 --> 01:15:15.319
<v Speaker 3>have very like expanded experience experiences and yeah, and then

1447
01:15:15.359 --> 01:15:20.920
<v Speaker 3>you had Gnostic Christianity, and then that progressed into Rosicrucianism.

1448
01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:23.439
<v Speaker 3>So according to the Steiner system, this was like the

1449
01:15:23.479 --> 01:15:31.239
<v Speaker 3>pathway of how we changed our methods where we received initiation,

1450
01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:33.520
<v Speaker 3>which was like you know, perceiving higher worlds or going

1451
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:34.439
<v Speaker 3>out of body or whatever.

1452
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Like the evolution of these paths.

1453
01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's like this, this is something that's been

1454
01:15:39.039 --> 01:15:41.000
<v Speaker 3>going on, and there's probably so many more than that.

1455
01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:43.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's got to be you know. And if

1456
01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:48.840
<v Speaker 3>you talk to a templar night, they'll say And I

1457
01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:54.439
<v Speaker 3>asked one recently, Scott. I asked him, is it true

1458
01:15:54.680 --> 01:16:01.720
<v Speaker 3>that you guys have certain breathing protocols to go out

1459
01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:05.039
<v Speaker 3>of body? He said yeah. I said, have you done it?

1460
01:16:05.119 --> 01:16:07.079
<v Speaker 3>He said yeah. I was like, okay, cool, No, I

1461
01:16:07.119 --> 01:16:09.760
<v Speaker 3>believe it. I've heard worder shit, I've gone out of body.

1462
01:16:09.920 --> 01:16:11.640
<v Speaker 3>I know my dad went out of body through breathing.

1463
01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I saw it. Well, I didn't see the body, but

1464
01:16:13.880 --> 01:16:15.439
<v Speaker 3>I was in the room with him doing the breathing

1465
01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:18.399
<v Speaker 3>and he went out of body. And I'm starting to

1466
01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:20.479
<v Speaker 3>understand that, like this is very real, this is very

1467
01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:25.840
<v Speaker 3>attainable and it's its initiation. It's like, it's not the

1468
01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:27.800
<v Speaker 3>only thing that you need, but this is something that

1469
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:32.800
<v Speaker 3>is this great primordial secret that has been very carefully guarded,

1470
01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:35.520
<v Speaker 3>and there's all these like secret little rituals that these

1471
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:41.239
<v Speaker 3>people have had to conceal these methods. But yeah, totally, dude,

1472
01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:46.119
<v Speaker 3>I am now completely convinced that people like the Receis

1473
01:16:46.119 --> 01:16:50.359
<v Speaker 3>of India have probably guided people through so many thousands

1474
01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:53.920
<v Speaker 3>of out of body experiences expanded states of a conscious

1475
01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:58.279
<v Speaker 3>of consciousness, of awareness, whatever, just because through doing specific

1476
01:16:58.319 --> 01:17:01.600
<v Speaker 3>breathing protocols, being aware of certain things while we're doing

1477
01:17:01.640 --> 01:17:04.439
<v Speaker 3>these breathing protocols, it allows you know, spiritual things to

1478
01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:06.840
<v Speaker 3>happen because it's a part of our DNA, it's part

1479
01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:11.199
<v Speaker 3>of our makeup, you know. So I'm going to wrap

1480
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:13.239
<v Speaker 3>this up here because I feel like I'm hitting a

1481
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:18.239
<v Speaker 3>lot of the same things. But so here are the

1482
01:17:18.319 --> 01:17:24.039
<v Speaker 3>six basic tenets of like let's just say, okay, I'm

1483
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.000
<v Speaker 3>interested in anthroposophy. How do I apply this to my life?

1484
01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:30.279
<v Speaker 3>How do I, you know, adopt this into my life

1485
01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.439
<v Speaker 3>to where I can expand my spiritual faculties. I don't

1486
01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:35.319
<v Speaker 3>want to just read a bunch of freaking books.

1487
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what I mean.

1488
01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:40.479
<v Speaker 3>So the six ideas, the six the six principles like

1489
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:42.920
<v Speaker 3>cutting right to the to the meat of it all right,

1490
01:17:43.479 --> 01:17:49.880
<v Speaker 3>control of thought, focusing so basically meditation, right, focusing your

1491
01:17:50.279 --> 01:17:56.920
<v Speaker 3>your attention on a simple object, becoming aware of controlling

1492
01:17:57.079 --> 01:17:59.199
<v Speaker 3>your thought, and you can expand on that and whatever

1493
01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:01.439
<v Speaker 3>meditation practice. But he believed it was important to have

1494
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:03.760
<v Speaker 3>a level of control over your thoughts and your attention

1495
01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:05.840
<v Speaker 3>and your awareness.

1496
01:18:05.880 --> 01:18:06.039
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1497
01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:08.079
<v Speaker 3>The example is like focus on a pencil, or focus

1498
01:18:08.119 --> 01:18:09.960
<v Speaker 3>on an object and just see if you can focus

1499
01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:12.159
<v Speaker 3>your attention on that specifically. I know at Monroe there

1500
01:18:12.199 --> 01:18:18.239
<v Speaker 3>was a research slash experiment that they've done recently. Were

1501
01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:23.319
<v Speaker 3>like this lady Vicky, she's a wonderful human being. She

1502
01:18:23.439 --> 01:18:25.199
<v Speaker 3>was telling me that one thing she had to do

1503
01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:27.199
<v Speaker 3>was stare at a painting for like ten minutes with

1504
01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:30.479
<v Speaker 3>no music or anything. It was or maybe it was twenty.

1505
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:32.600
<v Speaker 3>It was like stared at it for ten minutes or

1506
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:36.880
<v Speaker 3>something like that, and then it was like measuring brain

1507
01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:40.479
<v Speaker 3>waves while they're you know, she's staring at this painting,

1508
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:43.279
<v Speaker 3>no sounds, no guided meditations.

1509
01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Just staring at this one.

1510
01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just stare at it. And stay focused. Is like

1511
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:47.640
<v Speaker 3>how long can you state this? What's going on in

1512
01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:50.439
<v Speaker 3>your brain? What are your feelings? Things like that. But

1513
01:18:51.239 --> 01:18:53.800
<v Speaker 3>it's just the idea of you know, if we're doing

1514
01:18:53.880 --> 01:18:58.520
<v Speaker 3>guided meditation or breath work meditation or sound you know,

1515
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:01.079
<v Speaker 3>like the Monroe method, the Monroe sound on science, all

1516
01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:04.640
<v Speaker 3>of these things can be very very powerful and being

1517
01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:07.720
<v Speaker 3>a tool that helps, you know, take your attention to

1518
01:19:07.760 --> 01:19:10.439
<v Speaker 3>certain places. But it's very difficult to just sit there

1519
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:15.119
<v Speaker 3>and just like okay and just raw dog it and

1520
01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:18.159
<v Speaker 3>just focus your attention. And Steiner believed it was very

1521
01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:21.079
<v Speaker 3>So Steiner believed it was some level of importance to

1522
01:19:21.159 --> 01:19:24.039
<v Speaker 3>have control over your thoughts. I don't really think it

1523
01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:25.840
<v Speaker 3>matters how you get there. Just get there. You know,

1524
01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:29.439
<v Speaker 3>if you need sounds, if you need certain things, that's fine.

1525
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean to do use your tools. Yeah, use the

1526
01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:35.199
<v Speaker 3>tools at your disposal. Control of will. When I read

1527
01:19:35.199 --> 01:19:37.039
<v Speaker 3>this today, I was actually pretty shocked. I was like, wow,

1528
01:19:37.079 --> 01:19:38.520
<v Speaker 3>I've never really thought about it like that, but this

1529
01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:44.479
<v Speaker 3>is very powerful. So having an inherent initiative, so Steiner

1530
01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:49.840
<v Speaker 3>was like, take take an activity every day, something like

1531
01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:55.760
<v Speaker 3>water your plant, uh, you know, whatever it is, exercise

1532
01:19:56.680 --> 01:20:00.279
<v Speaker 3>and do it every day and control your will, you know,

1533
01:20:00.439 --> 01:20:04.680
<v Speaker 3>develop your will, your power, your initiative, and your drive

1534
01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:08.520
<v Speaker 3>to continue to do something every day every day. That's

1535
01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:11.640
<v Speaker 3>probably my biggest struggle in life, having me too, because

1536
01:20:11.640 --> 01:20:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not left brained at all. I'm pretty much only

1537
01:20:15.079 --> 01:20:16.640
<v Speaker 3>right brained. I just recently learned.

1538
01:20:17.199 --> 01:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, like like getting into a routine, it's like impossible,

1539
01:20:22.119 --> 01:20:24.800
<v Speaker 2>very hard not do it. Yeah, I mean I don't

1540
01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:29.119
<v Speaker 2>like putting those limiting myself. I can, but like it is,

1541
01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:32.600
<v Speaker 2>it has traditionally it's a huge.

1542
01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Well look, I mean we're both we're both right bringing

1543
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:37.439
<v Speaker 3>creatives too, so it's like it's a handicap, you know.

1544
01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:39.920
<v Speaker 3>It's like at least knowing that, it's like, okay, well

1545
01:20:39.920 --> 01:20:41.800
<v Speaker 3>now I know my blind spot now I know, now

1546
01:20:41.800 --> 01:20:43.840
<v Speaker 3>I know what you need to work with. Yeah exactly,

1547
01:20:44.119 --> 01:20:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I know my weakness. But I thought that was interesting.

1548
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:50.479
<v Speaker 3>That is according to Steiner, you know, having that control

1549
01:20:50.520 --> 01:20:53.479
<v Speaker 3>over your thought, the control over your will, Developing these

1550
01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:59.000
<v Speaker 3>skills will expand your spiritual faculties, balanced emotional state. Think

1551
01:20:59.119 --> 01:21:02.720
<v Speaker 3>like a Jedi. You don't want to have extreme reactions either.

1552
01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:05.000
<v Speaker 3>You want to be balanced. Yeah, you want to be

1553
01:21:05.079 --> 01:21:10.359
<v Speaker 3>like emotionally intelligent, or emotionally stable, or a templar would say,

1554
01:21:11.239 --> 01:21:15.319
<v Speaker 3>this is like walking on water, the the initiation of

1555
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:19.039
<v Speaker 3>the element of water, where you're beginning to control your emotions.

1556
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:25.279
<v Speaker 3>That's yeah, that's kind of an esoteric idea of the

1557
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:27.359
<v Speaker 3>miracle of walking on water. Well, maybe it was about

1558
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:30.520
<v Speaker 3>being in control of your emotions. Positivity. This is the

1559
01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:35.119
<v Speaker 3>fourth tenant to expand your you know, your your spiritual faculties.

1560
01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Seek the positive or constructive aspects in every situation or person.

1561
01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:44.479
<v Speaker 3>Actively counter your own tendencies towards criticism or negativity. Totally

1562
01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:46.079
<v Speaker 3>agree with that. My dad has taught me that, like

1563
01:21:46.119 --> 01:21:48.000
<v Speaker 3>my whole life, ever since this stuff started happening. It

1564
01:21:48.119 --> 01:21:50.520
<v Speaker 3>just makes sense to me. It's it's you know, and

1565
01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:53.880
<v Speaker 3>we've been on a pretty fucking amazing journey doing this thing,

1566
01:21:54.039 --> 01:21:57.760
<v Speaker 3>and it's like positivity, positive, positive, mental thought positive, you know,

1567
01:21:57.880 --> 01:21:59.600
<v Speaker 3>visualizing positive outcomes, and.

1568
01:21:59.760 --> 01:22:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, clearly it works.

1569
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:06.399
<v Speaker 3>Open mindedness or impartiality, remain open to new experiences and viewpoints. Is,

1570
01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:09.279
<v Speaker 3>don't have such limiting attachments that we were talking about

1571
01:22:09.279 --> 01:22:11.600
<v Speaker 3>that earlier. You were saying the tradition thing like if

1572
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:15.920
<v Speaker 3>it's if it's causing you trouble, you know, you're going

1573
01:22:15.960 --> 01:22:18.880
<v Speaker 3>to hurt you, yeah, or viewing it differently. You got

1574
01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:21.119
<v Speaker 3>to be open. You got to be open. You cannot

1575
01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:24.880
<v Speaker 3>be so rigid exactly, You're you're experiencing a very narrow

1576
01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:28.399
<v Speaker 3>window of reality if you're super rigid. Oh yeah, completely agree,

1577
01:22:28.520 --> 01:22:34.039
<v Speaker 3>Completely agree. And then harmony, balance, integrating all of these

1578
01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:38.039
<v Speaker 3>into a balanced routine and a balanced perspective so that

1579
01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:41.239
<v Speaker 3>you have like a very clear and stable progression of

1580
01:22:41.279 --> 01:22:45.960
<v Speaker 3>your thinking, you're feeling, You're willing your your you know,

1581
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:51.119
<v Speaker 3>your your meditative practice, which will basically lead to the

1582
01:22:51.199 --> 01:22:54.880
<v Speaker 3>expansion of your consciousness. And then I'm sure in his

1583
01:22:55.039 --> 01:22:58.039
<v Speaker 3>books like attainment of higher worlds or it's like a

1584
01:22:58.159 --> 01:23:00.800
<v Speaker 3>knowledge of higher worlds or you know whatever. I am

1585
01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:04.520
<v Speaker 3>almost positive that in these books he details like specific

1586
01:23:04.600 --> 01:23:08.920
<v Speaker 3>meditation exercises. But this is just a wisdom tradition episode,

1587
01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:14.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, episode where we're talking about Rudolph Steiner from

1588
01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:20.039
<v Speaker 3>a philosophical standpoint. Now that we're done with that and

1589
01:23:20.079 --> 01:23:25.279
<v Speaker 3>we're wrapping up, I think, just again we talk about

1590
01:23:25.279 --> 01:23:27.720
<v Speaker 3>the truth and attaching to it like a cloud thing.

1591
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:31.119
<v Speaker 3>This is all fun and theory, but you really don't

1592
01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:34.840
<v Speaker 3>even need that, you know, you take what works but ultimately,

1593
01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:39.319
<v Speaker 3>just meditation is a powerful tool and skin that cat

1594
01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:41.399
<v Speaker 3>in whatever way it works for you. For me, I

1595
01:23:41.439 --> 01:23:43.439
<v Speaker 3>love them in a real method. I love the sound science.

1596
01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:48.159
<v Speaker 3>I liked the breathing method too, pretty rigorous. I think

1597
01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:52.359
<v Speaker 3>that takes a high level of knowledge, a high level

1598
01:23:52.399 --> 01:23:59.159
<v Speaker 3>of mastery to learn that very intimately and incorporate that,

1599
01:24:00.479 --> 01:24:04.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, that practice into your life. I like the

1600
01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:06.560
<v Speaker 3>efficient method. I'm a busy guy. I'm like, you know,

1601
01:24:07.279 --> 01:24:08.760
<v Speaker 3>I like going to Monroe. They teach me what I

1602
01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:11.279
<v Speaker 3>need to know, and I'm like, great, awesome, this was efficient.

1603
01:24:11.720 --> 01:24:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know.

1604
01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:15.560
<v Speaker 3>So it's like just whatever works for people, you know,

1605
01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:16.840
<v Speaker 3>don't get too hung up in it.

1606
01:24:17.319 --> 01:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's kind of the cool thing about us doing

1607
01:24:19.039 --> 01:24:22.119
<v Speaker 2>this whole series and going over all these different methods

1608
01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:24.800
<v Speaker 2>is it's like it's not like we're going through this

1609
01:24:24.800 --> 01:24:27.600
<v Speaker 2>stuff saying like this shit, every bit of it is true.

1610
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like, no, we're going through all of it and

1611
01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:33.239
<v Speaker 2>then you guys can pick out the nuggets that you

1612
01:24:33.279 --> 01:24:35.560
<v Speaker 2>think will work best for you. We can pick out

1613
01:24:35.560 --> 01:24:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the nuggets that we think will work best for us.

1614
01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>It's like widening our pool so that we have more

1615
01:24:42.399 --> 01:24:43.359
<v Speaker 2>to draw from.

1616
01:24:43.479 --> 01:24:46.359
<v Speaker 3>For me, Also the main reason that I like doing

1617
01:24:46.399 --> 01:24:49.199
<v Speaker 3>this whole Wisdom Tradition series is because I come from

1618
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:52.199
<v Speaker 3>a background where, like, I've met so many people who

1619
01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:55.239
<v Speaker 3>they find out we're having these paranormal experiences and they're

1620
01:24:55.239 --> 01:24:57.840
<v Speaker 3>like freaked out because they have a specific, rigid belief.

1621
01:24:58.359 --> 01:25:01.039
<v Speaker 3>So my whole thing, we're talking about these soteric systems.

1622
01:25:01.319 --> 01:25:03.640
<v Speaker 3>It's not even about like, oh cool, learn this little practice.

1623
01:25:03.640 --> 01:25:06.479
<v Speaker 3>It's not even about that. For me. It's about exposing

1624
01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:09.800
<v Speaker 3>people to some hidden thing that they probably have never

1625
01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:13.760
<v Speaker 3>heard of, you know, and exposing a lot of these

1626
01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:15.680
<v Speaker 3>little things because I think the more of these things

1627
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:20.159
<v Speaker 3>you learn, it expands your view of the supernatural, of

1628
01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:25.279
<v Speaker 3>the divine, of you know, reality. You know, the more

1629
01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:28.079
<v Speaker 3>of these things and data points that you learn about,

1630
01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:30.079
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just better off, you know.

1631
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a really cool perspective too.

1632
01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So anyway, I'm out, I'm out, all right, anything

1633
