So on Thursday, we will do the final examination.
This is an opportunity for you to question and challenge my
understanding of the world. And so today, what I'm going to
do is review all that we've learned this semester and
combine together into a framework of how the world
works, right? So the main driving question all
this semester is, why did the US attack Iran, right?
So this is the central mystery of the world today, because even
today, Donald Trump has yet to articulate a reason for
attacking Iran. And I, I do understand that
right now there are ceasefire negotiations going on.
But unless we can properly understand or diagnose the
rationale for this war, it's very hard for us to appreciate
the difficulty of coming to a ceasefire.
OK. So I'm going to present to you
the three major reasons that we learned in this class as to why
the United States attacked Iran. The first major explanation is
just geopolitical geopolitics. And so according to this theory,
what the United States is most afraid of is that Russia, Iran
and China would come together into a grand alliance.
OK, So you have Russia here, you have China here, and you have
Iran here. OK.
Now, why the United States is afraid of this grand alliance is
that if these three nations were to cut combined together and
just trade amongst themselves, they could encompass the entire
EUR Asian continent, which would include Europe, the entire of
the Middle East, the GCC, Africa, India.
And they could negate the American maritime power and just
trade amongst themselves using railways constructed by China,
All right. And there's nothing America
could do about it. And it's a huge problem because
right now the Americans have $39 trillion in debt.
And so the only way to finance this debt is to force others to
continue to buy U.S. Treasuries.
OK, so the reason why the United States attacked Iran is to force
everyone to buy U.S. Treasuries.
Why? Well, because if you attack
Iran, you knock off at least 20% of the world's energy, and as a
result the world, Europe, China and Japan specifically, are
forced to buy more U.S. Treasuries.
And then by knocking out Iran, you can start to control the
world's major troll points. In short of the short of Hormuz,
the short of Gibraltar. Sorry, this state of monarch.
Actually, this is the Strait of Gibraltar.
This is the cable gold. Good Hope.
And so as a result, you control the world's trade.
So if the world wants resources, they can only do so from buying
from the Western Hemisphere that America controls.
OK, So attacking rank is crucial to achieving this geopolitical
vision of America in order to maintain the American empire.
OK, so that's the first major reason.
There's also another explanation which is different, very
different, and this is eschatological #2 is
eschatological. And what this means is that
there are religious fanatics within the American empire who
believe that a war in the Middle East will launch a chain of
events that will ultimately culminate in the return of
Jesus. OK, So these are people who
believe very strongly in the Bible and they believe that what
the Bible teaches them is that if there is a war in the Middle
East, OK, this Iran war, this will lead to the Third Temple,
which would which would also involve the destruction of the
AL Aqsaq Mosque, the third holiest site in this Arabic
world, which would lead to the war of Gog and Magog, which
would lead to the rise of the Antichrist.
And at this point, if you are Jewish, you believe that this
will lead to the coming of the Messiah and the ushering in of
the Messianic age. If you're a Christian, you
believe that this will lead to the second coming of Jesus and
the rupture, sorry, the rapture and the Millennium of peace in
the world before the day of judgement, and then heaven comes
to earth. OK?
Now what's interesting about this esotological vision is that
it also aligns with both the Islamic eschatology as well as
the Orthodox eschatology, OK? This is important because the
Islamic, of course, is Iran and the Orthodox is Russian.
And so what's really strange is that the four major nations
involved right now in this war in the Middle East, including
Iran, Russia, the United States and Israel, share similar
eschatological outlook. And as a result, they're all
actually, in many ways, working together to achieve a certain
geopolitical outcome, which includes the building of the
Third Temple, the wolf, Gog Magog, the coming of the
Antichrist, and ultimately the end of the world.
OK, so that's the second explanation for what's
happening. The third reason is actually the
most mundane, OK? And the third reason is this
imperial decline. And when an empire declines, it
does all sorts of stupid things because internally it is
fracturing for three reasons. The first reason is
financialization, which is to say that you have a few people
who control all the capital, and as a result, all they do is
force everyone into debt slavery.
And then everyone's forced to engage in speculation in order
to try to get rich because there's no honest way to make a
living. All right?
So capital controls the empire, and this is this leads to
corruption, inequality, and debt, and ultimately slavery.
Second problem is demographic crisis, and this is true for all
empires in decline in that young people refuse to have children,
but not only that, but old people live longer and longer.
So you have this huge problem where old people live longer and
longer, they have pensions, they require young people to work,
but young people don't want to have babies.
OK, So just naturally, over time, the empire's going to
collapse. So the way for the empire to
resolve this issue is for immigration.
So they welcome millions and millions of outsiders in order
to do the jobs no one actually wants to do.
And this leads to ethnic tension within the empire.
OK. The third reason, the third
symptom of import decline is something called elite
overproduction, which is a phrase coined by a historian
named Peter Turchin. And he argues that if you look
at all societies in decline, it's driven by the fact that you
have certain elites who want to control policy, who want power.
But power by it by definition is a 0 sum game.
And so these elites compete for the limited positions of power,
and this leads to civil war. And one manifestation of the
civil war is that this war is protracted outwards, OK?
That's why an empire does stupid things like go invade Venezuela
for no reason, go to attacks Iran for no reason.
Right now America is talking about thing over Greenland,
Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba. OK, so this is the other
explanation for why things are happening the way they are.
Because empires decline, all these internal conflicts that
are destroying the empire from within are protected outwards,
and so this turmoil is projected onto Iran.
OK, so these are the three major reasons.
Now, what's interesting about these three major reasons is
that they're actually not in competition with each other.
In fact, they support each other and honestly, they lead to the
same outcomes. If you believe in the
eschatological model, OK, you believe that this is the end of
days. You believe that the Israelis
will build the Third Temple. You believe that this war in the
Middle East will just expand outwards before it encompasses
the entire world, something called the War of Gog and Magog.
You believe that a charismatic leader will rise to unify much
of the world. And if you just analyze the
geopolitical framework, you can actually come to the same
conclusions. If you look at the NPO decline
framework, you can also come to the same conclusions.
OK, this is really, really strange in that you have these
three divergent explanations for what's going on, but in many
ways, they're very, very similar.
In fact, they lead to the same conclusions.
So what I I want to discuss today is why is this the case?
Why is it that eschatology and geopolitics and imperative
decline all end up giving the same understanding of the world
and forces us to make certain predictions about the world?
OK. So my explanation to you is this
eschatology, it's really just an understanding of geopolitics
frame allegorically. OK, so now we're saying this is
that what esotology really is? It's not religion.
What it is, is it takes thousands of years of human
history, 10s of thousands of years of human history and
condenses it into stories that then can be told to children and
passed on through generations and generations.
OK, so it is impossible for humans to pass on complex
history over thousands of years. But it is easy to take these
this history, frame it into stories and then tell to your
children remember it. And then these these children
will then pass it on to their children.
And then this is how we develop esotology.
OK. So then the question then is how
did we develop this particular framework of eschatology where a
war in the Middle East will lead to the Third Temple, the return
of the Jews to Israel, the war of Gog and Magog, and the coming
of the Antichrist before the coming of the Messiah?
Where does this story come from? And what I will show you now is
that this is actually a persistent story in the Middle
East. The first thing that I need you
guys to appreciate is the Middle East, especially the Levant, is
the most important part of the world.
Why? Because historically, it's been
the wealthiest part of the world.
All right, so let's look at the Levant.
This is the Levant, OK, which includes present day Israel,
Syria, Jordan, Lebanon. What's below the Levant?
Egypt. What's above the Levant?
Anatolia. Then if you go further E, what
do you get? You get Mesopotamia, OK.
If you keep on going is what do you get?
You get Persia, OK. And then keep on going is you
get India, OK. And historically, this part of
the world was the center of the universe, the wealthiest, the
most advanced, the most geopolitically important.
And the hinge, the pivot is the Levant.
OK. Now historically, Egypt and
Mesopotamia were the wealthiest parts of the world.
By the way, Mesopotamia includes Babylon and Assyria.
OK, all right, so everyone wants to conquer Egypt, but the way to
conquer Egypt is through the Levant.
So every controls the Levad has a huge advantage over everyone
else. OK, now because of a historical
accident called the Bronze Age collapse, the Israelites came
into being. OK, Israel and Israel it's a
crossroads of empire. And again, this was this was a
historical accident. Yet the Bronze Age collapsed.
So Anatolia, Mesopotamia and Egypt declined in power, which
allowed for a new power to arise in the Lamont called Israel.
But they only stayed in power for about 1500 years.
After that, they become became a subject to an empire, which is a
historical norm. But because they were so
important, it was easy for Israel to keep on switching
sides. Maybe today they supported
Israel, the next day they supported Mesopotamia, then they
supported Anatolia. OK, but whoever paid them the
most, whoever brought them the most, they would support.
And so this area became the most contested territory in the
world, which led to all sorts of apocalyptic wars.
OK, lots and lots of death. And the issue lights suffer the
most because obviously their location led to a lot of
conflict. Now the issue lights because
something called the Bible. And this would change human
history forever because what the Bible is, it's a collective
memory. And the Israelites were called
people of the Book. OK, so to be an issue light
meant that you believe the Bible.
And what's the Bible? The Bible has got some stories
that became your collective memory.
So it's entirely possible with the Bible now for people to have
never been to Israel, to not be Israelite in blood, but to read
the Bible and then imagine themselves as an Israelite, OK.
And this is unique in human history.
And if you're an Israelite, what do you want to do?
You want to return to Jerusalem because Jerusalem is where God
lives, OK? If you want to fulfill your
destiny, you must return to Jerusalem.
So what's happening in this time is that the Levant is contested
territory. The Israelites are a pain in the
ass to deal with, and different empires try different solutions.
You could try to bribe them, and then ultimately the solution
they came up with is, you know what, let's just remove them
from Israel. So they went to Babylon,
something called the Babylon Exile.
OK, but remember they have the Bible with them.
So even though they are not removed from Israel, the land
itself and the people, the the priests still have this
historical memory of Israel. So they long to return to it.
Then what happened was that Persia under such the great
comes and conquers Babylon, and he meets these Jewish priests
who long to return to Israel. And then what the Persians
figure out is, hey, if we insert the Jews back into Israel and
now they are strangers in a strange land, they must be loyal
to us only because only we can protect them.
We can only we can protect identity.
OK, so the Persians would sponsor the return of the
Israelites to Israel, and now they're called the Jews, OK.
And now what's happened is not only the Jews long to return to
Israel, but they also recognize that only by working with an
empire against other empires can we return to Israel.
OK. And this pattern will repeat
itself throughout human history. OK.
So at the Persians, the Romans come.
And again, the Romans need to control this territory because
of Egypt. The Jews rebel against the
Romans because the Romans insist that the Jews were obey women
law, obey the emperor, the emperor's divine.
That goes against Jewish belief, OK.
This leads to a civil service of wars.
Rome kills the Jews. The Jews are forced into Arabia,
the Arabian desert, and there they take their Bible and they
start teaching the locals about their religion and this will
give rise to a new religion called Islam.
Back here in the Lavont, a new religion is rising in order to
try to control the Jews and this religion is called Christianity.
And of course Christianity will also give rise to Orthodox doxy,
which is the religion of the Russians.
OK, so the esotology is so in so similar because all the major
religions come from this conflict in the Levant and the
pattern that emerges is. The Jews are central to the
story because the Jews are trying to return to Jewaism,
build the temple, which is where the God lives.
But to do so, they must fight empires that are trying to use
them as pawns. Also, for the Jews to thrive,
they need a leader. OK, this leader is called the
Messiah. And it was prophecies in the
Bible that God would send the Messiah, the Son of Man, to lead
them to ultimately victory. But historically, whenever the
Jews tried to revolt, they lose. So now the problem is you have
this great story, you have this great belief, this time repeats
itself over time. But how do you explain the
failure of the Messiah? And the answer, of course, is
the Antichrist. What's the Antichrist?
The Antichrist is the false prophet, the false Messiah.
So this is a story that doesn't really work.
And so they at the store in a certain way to make it
believable. OK, so we're going to say, you
know what? The Messiah came and we lost.
So this means the story's nonsense.
No, no, no, that was not the real Messiah.
That was a lesser Messiah or the Antichrist.
OK, We need lesser messiahs or the Antichrist to come before
the Messiah himself can come, OK.
And this is how we got the story.
What's amazing about this is that this story would be applied
throughout the the history of this area.
So after the Roman Jewish wars, the next thing we have about 600
CE is the rise of Islam and the rise of Muhammad.
If you look into the history, all the rise of Islam and the
Muhammad, a very similar framework where there's just two
empires fighting each other, the Romans and the Persians, and a
Messiah emerges, Muhammad to unite the world, the Muslims,
the Jews and the Christians. And they very quickly return to
Jerusalem and build the temple to God, the third Temple, which
is now called the AL Azad Mosque.
OK All right. So in other words, the history
of the Middle East has been condensed into a simple
extralateral story that gives us insight into how geopolitics
works in the Middle East. For the longest time, the Middle
East, especially Levan, was a crossroads of empire.
So there's always going to be war fought over that territory.
The Jews long to return to Jerusalem, so they're going to
figure out ways in order to return to Jerusalem.
And that often means working with different empires.
OK. And during this war, you're
going to have mesenic fever. You're going to have people who
believe that I'm Messiah, and they're going to come and lead
the Jewish people. And because the Jewish people
are looking for Messiah, well, then he becomes a Messiah
because he volunteers to be the Messiah.
And when he fails, he's like, no, hey, he's actually the last
of Messiah, or he's the Antichrist.
OK. And this is a pattern that that
is consistent in the Middle East.
And therefore we can assume that this is a pattern that will
continue. OK.
So we can expect the next few years the same thing will happen
where maybe in the Middle East a man will emerge to and he
declares himself a Messiah because everyone is expecting
the Messiah to emerge and if he fails, then he's just the
Antichrist or he's a lesser Messiah.
OK, Does that make sense? OK.
And a lot of this is being driven by the idea of imperial
decline, OK? Meaning that this is possible
because the empire is too weak to stop this messianic vision
from emerging in the Levant. OK And the empires which which
before included Roman Persia, they would externalize their
internal conflict. So we can see from this how all
this combines together. OK, Exotology is just
geopolitics told in a story. And the main driver of
geopolitical geopolitics, eschatology is imperial decline,
all right? Because it loses equilibrium,
loses stability, and so all these events converge together
in one particular pace. OK, Does that make sense, guys?
OK, now I want to discuss another question, which is why
is eschatology so powerful? OK, how is it possible for
eschatology to drive geopolitics?
And the answer has to do with the structure of power in
society. OK, so let me explain what's
going on. OK, so the first thing you guys
need to appreciate is that the occult is the basis of
everything. The occult is the basis of
reality. The occult means basically
esoteric or hidden knowledge or a mystical understanding of how
the universe works. OK, I know we're saying this is
action comes after ideas. Only if we can imagine the
action can the action actually take place.
OK. And the occult of these Mystics
who are trying to figure out the secrets of the universe, which
includes alchemy, eschatology, astronomy, astrology, OK, OK,
Alchemy is just trying to transmute or transform nothing
into something, OK? Basically LED into gold or death
into life, OK. It's trying to animate things.
Eschatology, it's an understanding of how the world
ends. Astrology is an understanding of
how the moving the stars influences historical patterns.
OK all. Right.
So these are the three main fields.
Now, there are people in power, OK, who form secret societies.
And there are lots and lots of them, OK?
And they form secret societies because they want to access the
secrets of their cult in order to gain more power and wealth
for themselves. Because if you think about it,
the the more secrets you have, the more power you have.
OK so that's why they form secret societies in order to
worship the occult, in order to obtain more power for
themselves. Once you see societies and these
occult and they called form an alliance, they transform each
other. OK, the occult before was very
much just focused on ecerric knowledge, but once it comes in
in contact with the secret societies, then they focus more
about ecotology, OK? Because now they have the
mechanism, the means in order to achieve their eschatology and
the end of the world. The elite like eschatology
because they believe that if they're able to be up about the
end of the world, then they themselves can have the most
power because they'll be close to God.
Also, what's important for you guys to understand is serious
societies do not believe they can change the world.
They cannot. They don't believe they can
actually alter the course of history.
What they believe is they can ride the wave of history into
absolute power, OK. And then once alliances form,
what they do now is they basically select leaders or
agents or puppets or scapegoats, OK, Whatever they mean you want
to call them and become the person who propel, who propels
history forward. OK?
These are the agents and historically these people
included Napoleon or Julius Caesar or Hitler or Stalin.
Today they are of course Trump and Putin.
Because you need an individual to capture imagination of the
people and create action in order to achieve this esotology.
OK, does that make sense? So this is a basic framework of
how history happens. OK, you always need their cult
in order for history to. If you don't have their cult,
you end up like China. OK, China, just focus on harmony
and balance. All right, once you have their
cult, then that gives you all the secret societies who then
pick agents in order to achieve the ecological vision.
OK, now I'm going to discuss why these secret societies are so
powerful, and it has to do with the structure of society.
OK, so society is often bureaucratized into different
departments. You have the military, you have
the political system, you have science or religion, you have
finance, you have the bureaucracy.
OK, So just basically different segments of society.
Now, within each segment, you're going to have a range of
personality types. Most people just want to live
normal lives. They want to get along.
They want to collect their paycheck, go home and raise
their families. That's all they care about.
About 90% of people are like that.
OK, Then you have some extreme people who are more idealistic.
Then you have more extreme people who are power hungry, OK?
And these people that are power hungry, they converge together
and they work together because they're all more interested in
order and control, all right? In order to obtain more order
control, they form secret societies.
And once they have these serious societies, they're able to
achieve 3 things that give them more power, control over other
people. OK.
The first is secrecy, the second is trust, and the last is
coordination, OK. And how they're able to achieve
this is through eschatology. Eschatology is a script for them
to act out. OK.
And that allows for them to coordinate even though they may
not know actually what they're doing because they're all trying
to achieve the same script. OK.
Does that make sense so far? OK, Are there any questions
before I continue? Any questions?
OK All right, so now what I want, I want to discuss is this.
Why is esotology so powerful? Why?
Why does it compel us to do things that are from an
outsider's perspective, irrational or extremely
fanatical, like start wars in the Middle East?
And the argument I want to make you to you is that the reason
why is that esotology that we have today in the Middle East,
it is fundamentally sexual in nature, sexual in nature.
All right, So remember this, that the esotology, it's not
just an idea, it's sexual. It's something that you want to
move towards. You're driven by this sexual
urge in order to fulfill the esotology.
OK, All right, so let me explain how this works.
All right. So we first start off with their
cult, right? And I'm going to show you how it
leads to esotology. OK, so the most dominant
understanding of the cult is something called Hermeticism,
Hermetic philosophy. It comes to us from Egypt, OK,
And there are 7 basic principles of Hermetic philosophy, OK?
The first is that effing is mind, effing is energy,
everything is vibration. So you start off with a source,
we'll call it the monad or the source.
And what the source does is it breathes, it emanates, it thinks
it meditates, and so it vibrates.
OK OK. And it's infinite.
OK, so it's it is, it has infinite vibrations, OK.
And the higher the vibration is, the faster it is, OK?
The lower it is, the slower it is.
And so this gives rise to the material world.
So yes. So even though that the matches
are infinite, we can roughly classify them in different
categories. OK, at the very bottom is the
material world, which is our world.
Then you might have the emotional.
Then you might have the spiritual.
Then you might have the divine. OK, All right now.
According to human philosophy, there are certain
characteristics about this universe.
OK. The first is that there is
rhythm to it, OK? Meaning there's a pattern to its
vibrations. It's not just random chaos.
There's a pattern to it. And this pattern will become the
basis for astrology, right? That's what astrology is.
Astrology is trying to figure out the pattern of the stars,
OK, which determines the movement of the universe.
Second thing is the idea of correspondence.
All right. What correspondence means is
that divine, spiritual, emotional material, they all
line up, OK, They all correspond to each other.
They're not different realms. They're all realms that can
influence each other. This then leads to idea of cause
and effect, which is that the entire universe is combined
together so that what happens in material world can impact the
vine, What happens in the vine can impact the material, OK.
And what this means, and it's really interesting, is that you
can have impact on others as well.
So this gives rise the idea of telepathy.
OK. And there's a belief that if
you, if you meditate long enough, OK, if you will it long
enough, you can make something happen.
There's the idea of manifestation.
OK, so there are many secrets to this.
OK, this gives idea. This gives you actually idea of
as below, so above. And this has to be the idea of
the interconnectedness of this universe.
What this means basically is that the universe are just
fractals of each other, OK, fractals of each other.
So you in your mind you are just a fractal of the entire
universe. The entire universe is a
reflection of you yourself. OK, Does that make sense?
As above, as above, so below. As below, so above.
The interconnectedness of everything.
OK, then this gives rise to idea of polarity.
Polarity just means opposites. So if black, if there's a black,
there must be a white, if there's a female, there must be
a male. OK, so the universe is divided
into extremes, into opposites. Then this gives rise to the idea
of generation, the generative principle.
OK, so you have generate generation and production.
So production is the female, generation is the male.
OK. This is a fundamental movement
of the universe where new things are created when the male and
the female come together, when the yin and the Yang come
together. All right, so think of thesis,
antithesis, synthesis. And this is what allows for the
universe to constantly create new things.
OK, so these are the seven fundamental principles of the
universe. First, everything is energy,
everything is mind, everything is vibration.
That's number one #2 is there's a pattern to all this.
Number 3 is the different dimensions correspond with each
other. They're all connected somehow #4
is cause and effect, where if you make one movement in the in
the in the material world, you can also influence the divine.
OK, you can also influence others as well as above, so
below, so that we're all reflections of God itself, the
universe itself, polarity, they're opposite.
And these opposites work together to create the life
force, OK, that allows for creativity.
So these are 7 basic principles of the universe, OK?
And this has been known for a long time, ever since the
Egyptians. Then it went over to India.
So now what's going to happen is about 1100 to 1200, OK?
Around this time, a new force is something called Luranic
capitalism is going to come into being.
OK, Why? Because Hermetic philosophy is
the most intuitive understanding of the universe.
The Bible are the most powerful stories in the universe.
And So what Luria, I think Luria who is a Jewish rabbi, what he's
going to do is he's going to combine the two together,
meaning he's going to take the stories of the Bible and explain
it using Hermetic philosophy. OK, so let me give an example
story of Adam and Eve in the Bible.
Great story. All right.
God created Adam, and then from Adam created Eve and told the
two together and told the two, this is the Garden of Eden, this
is paradise. You'll never die.
You always have enough to eat. You guys can have sex every day.
But there's only one thing I asked you not to do.
And it's like, don't eat the food from the tree of knowledge.
And that's it, guys. That's all you have to do.
Don't do that. And then, of course, they eat
that stupid fruit and they get banished from the Garden of
Eden. OK, so this is a story of the
Bible. And the question that plagued
many religious scholars for thousands of years is.
Why did they screw up? OK, And now what they're going
to do is they're going to take harmonic philosophy, explain the
story of Adam and Eve using harmonic philosophy, OK?
And this explanation, the explanation is in the beginning,
God was everything, OK? God was everything.
God is eternal, immutable, perfect, but it wants to know
itself. It's curious, it wants to expand
itself. OK, And God is the will to
bestow, the will to give the giver.
But if you want the will to bestow, then you need something
to give it to. You need something to give
yourself to. OK, So what God does, He is He
contracts, He starts to build the universe.
The first being that he creates is called something called Adam
Kenmod. OK, which becomes the will to
receive OK or the eagle. Doesn't make sense guys.
OK so God in order to bestow must create a new being called
Adam Kanman in order so that he can bestow himself onto Adam
Kanman. OK.
The problem, though, is that Adam Kanman is the eagle, so we
can only see the world through the lands of selfishness.
God is love, God is forgiveness. God is generosity.
So God wants to give, but Adam's like, why do you want to give to
me? All right, so, so, so the
analogy is, let's just say I invite you to my house and I am
honored that you're coming to my house and I cook you a wonderful
meal. OK, 12 courses.
It's sumptuous. You come into my house and you
are shocked. You're embarrassed by my
generosity. You run away because you
figured. I figured myself.
Does he want to borrow money from me?
Like, like, why is he being so nice to me?
OK, It scares you. And that's why Adam and Eve
disobeyed God, because they were embarrassed by the generosity of
God. They were too immature, they
were too eotistical, too selfish to appreciate the generosity of
God. OK.
And so when this happens, when Adam and Eve betrayed God, this
is something called brick in the world.
And the point of the universe is to repair the world.
How do you repair the world? By making yourself so
enlightened that you can now receive the generosity of God
and create a reunion. OK, that is to repair the world,
a reunion. Now there are different ways in
which you can do this, OK? The the way they teach you is
just basically self enlightenment through education,
through knowledge. Another way is love, OK, Love
thy neighbor. Embark on a journey, a lifelong
journey to be as nice and kind to people as possible.
OK. The modern term for this is, of
course, called social justice. All right.
Try to save as many people as possible.
But there's a third way and this and the third way is most
controversial, which is the idea of sin, OK.
And the idea of sin is you must break yourself before you can
learn the wisdom to welcome God into your heart.
And the story that explains this idea is sort of David.
King David was the greatest ruler of the Israelites.
And one day he falls in love with a woman named Bathsheba.
And David is king because he's close to God.
God favors him. OK, He falls in love with a
Bathsheba. The problem.
OK. And so Bathsheba and David have
sex. Bathsheba becomes pregnant.
The problem is that Bathsheba is already married to a warrior
named. You're right, You're at the high
tide. So David thinks of many ways of
solving this problem and, and ultimately he decides I'm just
going to kill this guy. OK, So he kills Urea, the high
tide, and he marries Bathsheba and he's very happy and he's
going to and but she's going to give birth to their son.
God learns about this and sends his prophet Nathan to David and
says, King David, do you know what you've done wrong?
David's like, not really. I mean, what did I do wrong?
I don't know. So God gets angry and punishes
David by killing his son, and this forces David into mourning.
And when he mourns, he breaks his heart.
When he breaks his heart, he welcomes God back into his soul
and the two become the best of friends.
Because every day now David is praying to God and God is
answering him. David has given up all the
material desires of this world and fully embrace God.
He's been he's humbled himself before God.
He's become God's servant. He's everybody asked for
forgiveness. He's engaged in poetry, in
prayer. OK, so the Israelites remember
David not as a great conqueror, that's a great king, but as a
man who understood his humility, who always asked for for
forgiveness, who is best friends with God.
OK. And this is the idea of
repairing the world. Nothing matters.
Accept your relationship with God.
The whole world could be a nuclear war, doesn't matter, OK,
What matters is your true faith in God.
And so from these three things, we now understand what's going
on in Gaza and the Middle East, where the issue is the Israelis
think that, hey, if I break the world and I force the entire
world to hate me and I sin so much that I suffer, that's a
good thing because that's going to let me develop a close
relationship with God. And this won't repair the world.
But, and this is really important, OK.
We also need, need to appreciate is that there are, there are
also Jews in the mind and who are more numerous than the
Israelis who think, no, that's wrong.
What's important is the idea of social justice, OK, to stand for
what is right. That's why during what was
happening in Gaza, we view all the two American universities,
the protesters, most of them were actually Jews protesting
what's happening in Israel. OK, so this shows you the
diversity and debate within the Jewish tradition, but it also
tells us they're actually looking for the same thing, OK?
What they're looking for is reunion with God.
Now, why bring this up? Is that the idea of the
Kabbalah? Because it's able to take the
stories to the Bible and make it mystical and give it a deeper
meaning. The Kabbalah has become the most
powerful mystical tradition in the world, becomes a basis for
most secret societies, especially the Freemasons.
OK, which control America. And the thing about the Kabbalah
that we need to appreciate is that it's different from other
occult tradition in that it's sexual in nature, OK, You are
moving towards a synthesis. You're moving towards a reunion
with God. And the sexual aspect to the
Kabbalah is what what energizes, galvanizes people into action,
OK, The sexual nature comes from its physicality.
It's corporality, OK, Corporate reality, the fact that you can
feel it, the fact that you can touch it.
Most mystical traditions are just monks meditating, OK,
Meditating and trying to, to achieve the divine.
The Kabbalah is about achieving the stories of a Bible, becoming
David, OK, becoming Moses, becoming Isaac, Joseph all.
Right. So because of the Kabbalah, the
ethnology becomes sexual in nature.
Because it's sexual in nature, it energizes us, OK.
It becomes very urgent and immediate.
And that's, that helps us explain why things are happening
so fast. Because the people involved, the
secret societies, they're trying to climax as soon as possible.
OK. They believe that the faster I
move, the more I'll be able to reunite with God.
OK, So they want to accelerate. This is acceleration ISM.
OK, Acceleration ISM all. Right.
OK, you have a question I. Think if the people in the
secret society see they need to see the Kabbalah as a sexual
thing, that I think the condition that they must have a
strong belief, but I think a belief is rational.
How can it be sexual to them? Just like the sex of human, that
is sort of a sense of biological.
OK, OK, OK, I hate to say this but you're way too young to
understand what's going on. OK, it's hard for me to explain
to you using theory. You just have to know this, OK?
Belief is not abstract, OK? Belief is your soul, your heart.
Belief is what your soul aspires to.
And for most of human history, most religious traditions
believe that the soul was divine, OK?
It was not material. It's removed from the material,
the Kabbalah, by almost an accident.
It makes the soul almost have a sexual urge, OK?
So it drives the soul to action again.
You know, I, I can't explain to you this to you.
You either know this or you don't know this.
OK. All right.
OK, so this is the eschatology. All right, So to further explain
to you what's going on, I'm going to use a metaphor, OK,
called Plato's cave. We've said this before, OK,
Plato's Cave. So what Plato's Cave is going to
do is it's going to take all this occult chromatic
understanding and transform into a story that we can all
understand. And once we understand the
story, it helps us better understand the movement of
history. OK, so cave.
So imagine a cave. There's a blank wall all right
in front of everyone, and everyone is lined up together as
prisoners. They are chained to the floor.
They're stuck there. And there's about a million of
them, OK? And their necks are shackled, so
they can't move and look behind them.
Behind them is a great fire. And there are certain people, we
don't know who they are, but it's just like they, OK.
Plato just used the word they to describe them.
And what they do is they take shadows and project the shadows
on to the wall. And the people, the prisoners
don't know any better. So they think these shadows were
just random shapes. It's reality itself, OK?
It's like you're it's like you live in three dimensions, but
you see 22 dimensions. And so you think only two
dimensions exist. And so they give names to these
two-dimensional shapes. They give it language.
They create a world around these things.
OK. This becomes reality itself.
All right, OK, so the thing to know about this is that what
wealth is is consciousness, all right?
And this is what Hermetic philosophy teaches us, which is
like everything is just consciousness.
The imagination is the animating force of the universe.
OK, Remember this idea. The imagination or mind are what
gives life to the universe. The second thing is that power
is the ability to direct consciousness, all right, which
is just. So the example, of course, is
money. All right?
So money is not real. Money is something that was
made-up, but we believe it's real.
And those who can make us believe money is real are the
ones who have the real power. OK, So does it make sense?
All right, So what we do now is I'm explaining to you how
Plato's, as they go to The Cave, explains the world that we live
in. OK, so there are two competing
forces, 2 competing power centers.
They are they'll be money and AI, Artificial intelligence.
OK, Money and AI. OK.
All right. So let's look at money.
All right, the banks. So in theory how this works is
depositors, you guys, you save enough money and then you put
your money in a, in a bank like $1,000,000, OK, Then what the
bank does is take this $1,000,000 and to create one
society gives it to entrepreneurs, loans to
entrepreneurs to do to to create value inside OK
entrepreneurships. And so in theory, the banks
should have zero, OK? Because what it's done is it's
taking your hard earned money and giving it to entrepreneurs
to create more value, to give you jobs, OK?
And this is what we believe how society works.
There's a problem with this. The problem is that if you look
at the bank balance sheet, when it does this, when it takes
$1,000,000 and lends out to $2,000,000, it doesn't have
zero, it has $2,000,000. So the great secret of our world
is that banks have a power to print as much money as they
want. So money, if you think about it,
is actually valueless. OK, but it's like lead.
But in our world it becomes gold.
So this is secret of alchemy. How are banks able to trick you
into believing that lead is gold?
By using your imagination, by focusing your imagination in a
world that animates the world. OK, so this is about imagination
and this is the world that we live in.
All right. The thing that makes money
valuable and the only thing that makes it valuable is the idea of
omnipresence. It's everywhere.
OK, so let's just say I convinced all you guys that U.S.
dollars are worth nothing. And you're like, yes, I agree.
You go to America and you want to buy something.
You're like. And so the you buy a snack and
the guy's like, OK, 5 bucks and you're like, yeah, but this
money is worthless. And he's like, screw you, man.
Where's my 5 bucks? Do you understand?
It doesn't matter what you believe.
It's the money is valuable because it's everywhere and
everything. OK?
It is God. So we created a society in which
God, money is God because money is everywhere and God is
everywhere. OK, All right.
So the problem with money, though, is that if you can
create out of Finn here, you must constantly destroy it as
well. Doesn't make sense to you guys.
The banks can create money out of Finn here, and the banks have
to figure out ways to destroy money as well.
Otherwise you have too much money and no one's going to
work, right? The point of money is to get
people to work, and that means scarcity.
And so the way you do that is by creating a OK you there are two
ways, OK? The first is financial collapse,
basically, basically a recession or depression.
The point of this is just to remove money from the system.
OK, It's wealth destruction because you put in too much
money. So you need you need to destroy
this money. Second way, of course, is for
wars. And this helps us explain why
things are happening the way they are.
Because these past 1020 years, the Americans put in too much
money and now they need to create wars and destroy this
money so the global economy can OK.
The problem with this is that it makes people question the
authority and the legitimacy of the elite.
And because of elite of of of production, this gives a
possibility for a new elite to arise.
And this new elite is AI. OK, so remember that money is
alchemy and that it's churning lead into gold.
Well, guess what guys? AI is also alchemy and that it's
churning lead into gold. OK, let me show you how.
OK, so I'm going to put this in versatile terms, but when you
use AI, what you're trying to do is you have a database, you have
a lot of information in this database, and you're trying to
search and sort this database, OK?
There's information in this database.
You're trying to organize this information in a way that it's
useful, and you're trying to search information from this
database that you need at this moment, OK?
So think of like Google search, right?
Google has all the all the information in the world.
It's a database. Google organizes it, sorts it,
and then what you do is you search for it for it.
OK, so Google is a database. All right.
The problem with the database is eventually you reach a point
where this is too much information and you don't really
know how to search and sort it properly.
So what you do is you train the computer to do it for you.
OK, How so? Let's let's, for example, use
facial recognition technology. Let's just say you have like a
billion faces, 1 billion faces. Now what you're trying to do is
you're trying to differentiate these billion faces, and you're
trying to match it to the proper name.
OK, You have a face database, you have a name database, and
you're trying to align the two together.
OK, You don't know how to do it. But So what you do is you try
the computer to do it for you. And So what you do is you create
a system of weights, just a million variables, OK, variables
and then the input, sorry, OK, the input are just the
databases. Right.
And then the output is yes or no, doesn't match or doesn't it
match? OK, depending on the output,
this information is fed back into the database and the
weights OK. And it's, So what the computer
is doing is it's changed the weights in a certain way that
allows for all these building faces to match up with their
names, right? And we call this back
propagation. And that's how AI works.
And that's all it does. OK.
Is it possible for us to advance beyond this?
The answer is no. I don't care what you tell me.
OK? I've done a lot of research into
the AI. There's absolutely nothing more
we can do than back propagation. What we do, what we do now is we
now give it names to make it sound very fancy.
OK, so the weights is now called neural network.
OK. The back learning, back
propagation is called deep learning and this together is
called AI. OK, that's it.
OK, this is all hallucination. It's just clever marketing.
That's all it is. We will never get beyond this,
OK, And this is what allows for large language models.
OK, so you have a similar situation in that money is just
being printed out of thin air and you have SIM SIM solution
where AI doesn't actually do anything.
OK, so how you solve this problem is twofold.
The first thing you do is you create omniscience.
OK, what does this mean? It means the way to solve the
money problem is by making money everywhere, right?
Well, the way to solve the AI problem is making having AI know
everything. That means combining every
single database in the world into one major database.
Doesn't make sense. OK, that's the idea.
Where you're born, The hospital, your health records, it's all in
one database. You go to school.
How well you do in school. What did you just say about you?
It's all in the same database. When you grow up, what job you
do, what you buy, it's all in one database.
Your police record, one database.
Your health records, one database.
OK, your browsing history to one database and then I have
omniscience on you. OK, Then it gives the illusion
of AI, of God, because he knows everything about you, OK.
And then the second thing it does is it becomes a religion,
OK? For AI to be fully AI, it needs
to turn itself into religion where everyone is worshipping
it. And the way you do that is by
making people believe that this thing is alive because demons
have been summoned into it, because Jesus is restricting
itself through AI. You understand?
OK, You want to trick people to believe that behind all this
electricity, behind all this semiconductors, it's an inter
dimensional portal for Stephens, for Jesus to come alive in.
Once we believe that, then the imagination takes effect and
that the imagination will then animate the AI.
That's the trick. Once they achieve these two
things, omniscience and religion, then AI will be
achieved in this world. OK, so what's happening today is
a civil war, OK, in the world where right now money, which you
can control by transnational capital is God.
They're trying to create a new God called AI, OK, an AA God,
OK. So there are three forces of
Polish transnational capital. They are nationalism, religion,
an AI OK. And all together they're trying
to create AAI God in order to replace money.
OK, so I was talking to my wife about this idea and one question
she has for me is what's the conflict here?
What's the problem? What's the what's their war?
Why can't Chinese national capital be just become the AI
God? And the answer is because these
are two fundamentally different systems.
OK, think like this. I'm going to put this in very
simple terms, but think of traditional capital as
capitalism, OK, Free market capitalism.
And what is AI got? It's techno Marxism, OK?
The difference is this. The difference is that with
money, everyone still has a lot of freedom, OK, to generate as
much money as possible, but they're still freedom in place.
Whereas with a techno Marxist system, you have an elite who
control the God AI God, who then control all your attention.
OK, it's basically techno slavery.
So imagine a computer chip implanted into your brain that
tells you everything. OK, you don't have to think
anymore. You just have to listen to this
microchip tells you, hey, you should be up at 7:00 in the
morning. When you get up at 7:00 in the
morning, go run for half an hour and you fall in love with the
system because you don't have to think anymore.
There's this microchip who you think is actually the voice of
God. It's an Angel.
It's a demon, but it's all coming from God, OK.
And this microchip is this AI system.
It's helping you live the best possible life.
You're now more healthy, you're now more hardworking, you're
more successful, you find happiness in your life.
OK, so this is where the world is going.
And underneath everything that we've seen so far, the
geopolitics, this is actually the real conflict in the world,
the real transition in the world where one God, money is being
replaced by another God, the AI God.
OK, All right. So what I've done, what I've
done is basically give you a complete understanding of how
the world works, a framework, A predictive history framework for
understanding how the world works, which then allows us to
make predictions about the world, OK, Depending on our
predictions that we have our predictions, we can then go back
and refine this model. All right, so basically this,
the entire point in this class has helped us observe the world
better, to learn about the world better.
OK, so again, it's all speculation.
I'm not saying this is 100% correct.
All right, most of this might may even be wrong, but at least
it gives us a framework for us to learn about ourselves and the
world around us. All right.
OK. Any questions?
Question about money which is that USA have like around 39
trillion national debt but if the banks really have the power
to print as money as more money as they want, why don't they
just print some money and like hide them and solve this debt?
OK. Yeah, OK again.
I mean, all right, all right, I'll explain to you all.
Right, all right. All right, well, how does a debt
work? The debt is very simple.
I'm the US government, OK, I don't print money, but I need to
spend money, so I borrow money, right?
So I have, I borrow money from something called the Federal
Reserve, which is able to print money.
OK, Do you understand so far? All right.
But for the Federal Reserve to lend you money, they want to
profit from it. So they charge you an interest,
right? 5% is usually the interest.
So right now the the US government debt is $39 trillion
in debt. Right now, interest rate means
the US government has to pay $2 trillion a year in interest
payments alone. And you're like, well, why
doesn't the US government just not pay the interest rate?
Interest? Because it's a government, it
can do everyone what it wants. No, that's how the system works.
Because the Federal Reserve borrows its money from banks,
which then borrows its money from depositors.
OK. Does that make sense from you?
Basically? So you're the one and you don't
even know you're the one doing it, but you're the one lending
money to U.S. government. So the government has to pay you
back interest. OK, so if the US government
would say screw this, I'm not paying off this debt, then this
entire system collapses. And then people recognize that
it was all just a hallucination. Money's not God.
Money is not valuable. Money is worthless.
It's just LED. I thought it was gold all this
time, and now it's just LED. So what do you do?
You revolt, You burn things down.
You're angry now? OK, so you're actually cannot
afford to not pay off this debt. So Despite that, the Federal
Reserve might can print as much money that they want, but they
still cannot solve this problem, right?
Because if this if the US government really choose not to
pay the interest, the whole system just collapsed.
OK, OK, so you need, you need to prioritize ideas.
This is just the surface. This is what we just look at.
Underneath all this is Plato's cave.
What Plato's cave teaches us is that as long as we believe that
money is real, then it's real. So this entire system is set up
to trick us into believing money is real.
Well, this doesn't matter. the US government could have like
$500 trillion in debt. Who cares?
As long as you're willing to still use money.
As long as you're still willing to believe in money as God, this
doesn't matter. The problem is that from a
fiscal perspective, you have too much debt.
That's harder and harder for you to run the government.
OK, if you it's harder and harder for you to run the
government and people are no longer getting basic services
like healthcare and water, then they question the very
foundations of society, which leads to the question the very
foundations of money itself. OK, so this is a huge problem,
but you first have to understand that it's the human imagination
that is the key. I need to trick you and believe
in something. OK?
As long as I'm able to make you still believe in this thing, I'm
OK. All right.
OK. Yeah, Alan.
So I have a a. Questions about money as.
Well, as you say, like money is and hallucinations that prevent
us from seeing the other like truth.
But what is the motivations for those guys who create the
motivations? Is that for power?
But isn't power a motivate A hallucination as well?
Like, OK, all right back. OK, so this is this is.
Hard for you guys. OK, It's really hard.
All right, OK. Plato's cave, all right.
The imagination. The consciousness is the energy
of the world. You understand it's.
The only thing that exists in this world.
So what I'm going to do is I'm trying to suck your energy for
myself. You understand the only?
Energy is real. Everything else is false.
Everything comes from energy. Everything comes from
imagination. OK, So how do I get your energy
and then transfer it to me? By tricking you into believing
that by using your energy, you're using it for yourself.
And the mechanism that I do that is for money, OK?
All right, so the example is. Let's just say I ask you to
build me a house, OK? I'm going to live in the house.
And you're like, well. I'm not you're.
Someone else is going to live in the house.
I'm not going to live in the house.
So I I don't really care. OK, so you don't really do a
serious job. You spend 5 days building me a
house. It's a crappy house.
So what I do now? Is I say, hey Alan, let me give
you $1,000,000. To build me a house.
Now we take it much more seriously.
Right now you spend a lot of time you spent 2.
Years building me. A great house for me to live in.
So what I think what I've done is I think your energy, your
attention and basically use it for my own ends doesn't make
sense. OK, now the only.
Reason why you do that is you think that this million.
Dollars is actually worth more than my own energy, right?
Because these two years I could go read books, I could write
poetry, I can go fishing. Why am I going to build a stupid
house for like for, for this other guy?
Because he gave me money $1,000,000.
OK, Does that make sense? Right.
So what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to.
Capture everyone's energy. For myself and the mechanism I
do that is for money. If I can't use money then I I
need to do something else. That has to be AI.
OK. What what I'm trying to do is
I'm trying to capture. Your energy, your imagination,
your consciousness, your attention.
Because that's the only value in this world, all right.
Make sense? OK.
All right. So I present this theory and you
guys, what I want you guys do for homework is think of this
theory and come up with ideas, arguments against this theory or
show me where this theory is wrong, OK.
And people online can participate as well.
So on Thursday we will do the final examination.
OK, I'm going to answer your questions and we're going to
look at and I will answer your questions using this theoretical
framework. All right, So we can expand on
it, better understand it. And what's really important is
for everyone to costly question and be skeptical about my ideas
because I'm also trying to figure out how the world works.
And this is a theory that I have so far.
OK. All right.
So I'll see everyone on Thursday.
