hi my name is jonathan dunn and this is the

the

second in a series of short talks called

called

i have in front of me a photo

photo

of a tree

the tree has the trunk going upwards and

then it

divides into the different branches that

are beginning to bud

and i think the tree is very symbolic

symbolic

of what must happen to the ego

in this life the ego is quite

unyielding quite obstinate

obstinate

like the trunk of a tree it has

no way in no way out it just stands

there and resists

but somehow that trunk has to

divide into branches which

develop buds which become

flowers which give rise to fruit

so i think really in front of us

we have an example of what must happen

to the ego

ego

in this life it has to divide

divide flour

flour fruit

fruit

it cannot just remain

an object line

line

and we looked in the first video

at how this uh line

uh divides us one from another and leads

to conflict

and really comes from the idea of the

author that things begin with us this is

what enables us to draw a line and to

say that from this point

it's mine

whereas if you take the view that we are

translators which is the view that i take

take

then things pass through you they do not

begin with you and i think it's a very important

important

mental shift that we need to make that

things do not begin with us

they pass through us

now we saw in the first video

how god am created

created

a countable noun an

he drew a line around us so that

while we're still contained within him

we are able to make our own choices we

have free will

we on the other hand

uh have been born

into this world and

we really

set about drawing lines around things

packaging them

in order to deal in them

to trade to make a profit so our

motivation is very different and don't

forget that it's this definition this drawing

drawing

a line

around that makes something countable

that causes all the problems to our

environment because it's the packaging

what's left behind after the product has

been consumed

that pollutes

our environment

uh our land are

oceans so it's this idea of the

countable noun that draw a line around

something so that you can count what's

coming in and what's going out

is really what's causing so many problems

problems

i think in

human life in human history there is

a progression very important for me fundamental

fundamental from

from a

to i to

to o

a is creation it's the beginning of the alphabet

alphabet am

am created

created an

uh a countable noun a

separate human being in as far as it is

possible to be separate from god look at

the name of the first man

man adam

adam

again we have the letter a if you read

adam in reverse it spells made

so i think a refers to

the creation i

refers to the ego the full

where we are

now that is many egos all with our own

desires our own will

will all

all

pulling quite often in separate directions

directions

and we need to move away from the ego uh

uh and

and

open the line so that we

make the progression from i to

to o

the o is an open line it's like a

plastic bag and you

blow air and it opens it's also

realization where you suddenly say oh

like you've suddenly understood

something and this

progression from a to i to o

can be found in language let's look at

the uh

question words what

what

in creation

what are you going to call this when god

asks adam to name the creatures

why is very much the question word of

the full why should i do this

why should i believe you and

and who

who [Music]

[Music]

is the question we should be asking who

who [Music]

so what why

why who

who

contains this progression a i o

let's look at another example amen

amen

if you acquiesce to god's will

for example in the creation god asks

adam to name the creatures and he does

this he says amen [Music]

[Music]

our men with the letters rearranged spells

spells mean

mean and

and name

name

so he named the creatures he gave them meaning

meaning

but if you make the progression from a

to i

instead of saying amen you say

mine you take possession you say what is

here even though i didn't create it it

was here before i was born

is mine you make yourself the author

and that's very much

what's happening at the moment

if you make the progression then from i

to o

mine becomes nemo

nemo

the latin word for

no one and that is a reference to god

the father as we shall see in the next video

video

there are many examples this progression

from i to o

for example look at a fundamental word

like live

if you turn live around if you pervert

it somehow you get evil

evil

live back to front is

evil but if you make the progression

from i to o if you

open the ego and allow it to

flower and to fruit it becomes love

the eye of live

becomes the o of

of love

sin

is where we indulge our own selfish

desires at the expense of the other

again if you open the ego that becomes son

son

you become a child of

of god

god

so it's very important to understand

this progression from a to i to o you

cannot go back to the garden of eden

you cannot go from a to i and then back

to a

you must move

forward from a to i

to o

and this progression a i o is at the

basis of

language it can be seen in

many words but it requires

a certain spiritual vision you need to

be able to

see it it's a little hidden

hidden

perhaps we'll be able to look at that a

so the ego is a line just like the

number one

because we don't start counting from

zero which is the o

that's where we should be

we start counting from one from the ego and

and

the three ways as far as i can see of

moving away from the line

that divides us as human beings [Music]

[Music] are

are

where we make reference to a third point

and we bring god into the conversation

the cross

where we draw a line through the ego the

cross is basically

and the circle

where we

open the line

or if you like

we treat the line as a number one

and we count down

to zero so

i think

that the three ways of moving

away from the line

are the triangle we make reference to a

third point

the cross we draw

a line through the line we cross the line

line

and the circle we

we open

open

the line

these are the three ways the three symbols

symbols

that represent ways of moving away from

from the

the ego

ego

now i wonder if you can see anything

anything here

here

uh i wonder if we can

make these letters for example

the triangle is very close to the letter

capital letter a

so i shall draw a

underneath the triangle

the cross while it is a symbol of suffering

suffering

is also a plus sign and i think this is

what christ means when he says

you must lose your life the cross

in order to find it the plus

so the cross

and this is the paradox of christianity

is also a

plus sign i think paradox is a sign

and the

circle is the letter o

so the three symbols we talked about for

moving away from the line

give us a

a and

and [Music]

[Music] o

this is the name

of god alpha

alpha and

and omega

omega

so when we move

away from the ego

we necessarily move

move

towards god

and this is why uh

the words ego and god

are only separated by a step in the alphabet

alphabet d

to e

a and o

o alpha

alpha and

and omega

and what's very interesting for me is that

that

in the middle conjunction

conjunction

and between alpha omega

omega and

and

you have the same three symbols if you

write and

in capital letters you have a

you have n

which is used

to represent and

and

in for example rock and roll

and you have the letter

d which is a capital d is very similar

to a capital o

in the middle conjunction

and you've got a

a um

um o

a n o

alpha and omega so it is

a plus

when we give ourselves

to god

we lose our life in order to find it

and it is in our

dna to do this

it is part of our makeup

to be

with god and this is why and

in reverse reads dna

dna

so when we move away from the line we

form three symbols triangle cross

cross circle

circle

these three symbols can be read

a and

o which is the name of god in the book

of revelation alpha

alpha and

and

omega and these three symbols are found

in the very common

conjunction and

which in reverse reads dna

now

there are

uh in europe

uh that we study uh the latin alphabet

that we use

and the greek alphabet which would stand

for philosophy and theology

theology

the greek alphabet

makes this progression that i was

talking about earlier from a

to i to

o because the last letter of the greek

alphabet is

omega which is a long o

the greek alphabet

makes this progression

a to i to

to o

but the latin alphabet that we use in

the west which might be taken to

represent rationalism

reliance on the self trade

trade

making money

does not make this progression the latin alphabet

alphabet

goes from a to

to i

i to

to zed

zed

now zed

very closely resembles the number two

two

so while the greek alphabet which

represents philosophy and theology counts

counts down

down

it goes a to i

to o one

one to

to zero

zero

the latin alphabet which represents

rationalism reliance on the self

trade counts up

it goes from a to

to i

i to

to z

or one

to two

when you start to count up

when you start to count your riches

there is no end you will never

reach the end and this is the problem we

face in the world today

how to resolve this problem of

of production

production

the economy

pollution the environment

we don't in a way know how to stop when

the answer

is right behind us

all we need to do is not go from one to two

two

but from one to zero when you reach zero you

you

stop you find rest

rest

you are at

at peace

peace

and i would like to look at

the letter zero in greater depth in the

next video and in particular the concept

of the trinity

trinity

father son and holy spirit another

another

christian paradox how can god

be three in

in one

one

it doesn't seem to make sense that but
