This content traces the evolution of Western religious thought from ancient "Mother Goddess" civilizations through polytheism and monotheism, arguing that secret societies emerged as a means to preserve ancient knowledge, particularly the idea that "mind leads to matter," which was suppressed by the rise of monotheistic religions like Christianity.

Okay. So today we continue the topic of
secret societies. Last class we
discussed how they come into power.
Today where we will look at where they
come from and what they believe. Okay.
So to understand secret societies I
first need to explain to you the history
of religion in the western world. So in
the western world there have been three
major stages of religious development
and again I will oversimplify
for the purpose of clarity. Okay. So
this is a simplified version of the
history. So the three major stages of
religion develop of religious
development in the western world are the
mother goddess,
Polytheism means many gods. You believe
in many gods. Monotheism means one god
that only one god exists. So the mother
goddess civilization
and in an agricultural
world you have two problems. The first
problem is to make sure that your crops
are healthy and you can harvest them in
time. The second problem is to give
birth to have as many children as
possible to work the fields. Okay. So
these are the two problems and because
of that a religion developed in order to
facilitate facilitate both called the
mother goddess civilization. So at the
center of this religion is the womb.
The woman's womb is considered a divine
portal from the spirit world into our world.
world.
It's almost like a cave
right in which the spirit world can come
out and manifest itself in our world. So
the center of this religion is the womb
of the woman and as such the woman are control.
control.
What's really important is to understand
that in this world everything is
interconnected, harmonized, balanced
together. So the womb is the center of
this world. But then you have the stars.
Okay, the stars.
And of course this gives rise to astrology.
astrology. Astrology
Astrology
is a study of the movement of the stars
in order to understand its its impact on
our world. Right? Then you have of course
course um
um
the crops
Right? So in an ideal world, all three
are aligned together. By setting the
stars, you know when to best plant the
crops and when to best have children.
And in this world again, it is the woman
who are in control. They have a high
status in society because they believe
that women are direct representatives of
the mother goddess who rules the world.
Usually in this society the mother
goddess is represented as a bird. Okay,
a bird.
Why? Because if you think about it, if
you study all the animals in nature,
it's a bird that has dominion over the
sky. And if life comes from the sky, it
makes sense that the mother goddess must
be a bird of some sort.
But the mother goddess is also paired
with a bowl. Okay? A bowl. Why? Because
and energy.
You cannot you cannot get pregnant
as a woman by yourself. You need a man
to do it for you. Okay? So the bird and
the bull are the two symbols of worship
in this world.
Now this world is very strange from our
perspective because there's no property.
Everything belongs to everyone.
There's no hierarchy. Everyone is the
same. And there's no such thing as um
um
as sex by yourself. Okay. So sex is
actually a community act. So they have
these rituals um called fertility cults,
fertility cults in which
they have sex together. In fact, many
men will have sex with one woman. And it
makes sense because as a woman, you want
to have the best DNA. You have the you
want to have the best sperm, right? You
don't know who's going to have the best
sperm. So just have sex with everyone
and whoever has the best sperm will give
it to you. Okay? So that's the mother
goddess civilization.
Then we switch to polytheism.
So why do we make the switch? The answer
is war.
For the first time in human history, as
populations increase, there's now
struggle for resources.
And what's the most important resource
>> The most important resource is
woman, right? Females. Because it's
females that give birth. And that's the
And so with war, we have a new concept
called property.
In order to get men to fight wars, you
have to give them something as reward,
right? So they get to have a woman, a
wife. And now this wife belongs to them
and only them. So in this world what
happens is that you now have property
hierarchy and marriage and the role of
the woman decreases and the role of the
man increases.
Okay. At the same time what's happening
is that these different societies in
order to fight wars they have a god.
Okay. And when they go to war, they it's
like the gods are going to war. And if
you lose the war, what it means is that
your god is inferior to their god. So
now you have a hierarchy of gods. So to
maintain peace, what happens is that if
you lose the war, you omit that your god
is weaker than their god and you you now
must obey their god,
right? And this is what we call the pantheon.
So remember in the Greek pantheon, Zeus
is at the top and you have Apollo,
Aries, Aphrodite. Okay? Everyone else is
a lower god. But before they were
separate gods and in a series of wars,
the people who believe Zeus is the best
god won out against the other gods. And
as a result, the other gods became
Zeus's children. Yes. Do you have a question?
question?
>> Um why does uh like the man the men's
are fight for women but womens don't
fight for men? like the women's don't um
fight for the men. So why?
>> Okay. Okay. So the question um is why do
men go to war and why don't women go to
war? Okay. So that's a really good
question. Okay. So let me explain to you
very slowly. So in this world the women
are in control,
right? So women have all the status. But
over time as populations increase you
have a you have young men who have no
families and these young men are
discarded from the societies because of
lack of resources. So these young men
have a problem. They need to find wives
in order to survive. So these young men
start to raid other societies in order
to capture women. Hey, do you
understand? So in this society, it's
never young women who are discarded
because they pro they have value to
their society. It's always young men who
are discarded and as a result these
young men become like wolves. Okay, they
become like a wolf path who then go and
pillage other villages and that's how
you start and that's and that's how you
have the origin of war. Okay, does that
make sense? >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Okay, so now you have this pantheon of
gods. Okay, which leads to polytheism.
Then we make the switch from polytheism
to monotheism. Why? Because now you have
specifically the Roman Empire. And they
introduce a new religion called
Christianity, which is the first
monotheistic religion in the world.
There's a lot of debate um as to what
was the first montheistic religion. Some
people say Zorashianism, some people say
Judaism. I will I will show you in this
class later on that actually the first
religion that was monistic is
Christianity. Okay.
So the difference between between this
society which is a society based on war
is you still there's a lot of humans but
humans are still the most precious
resource. Therefore, it is not in your
best interest to kill everyone. But we
have when you have an empire like the
Roman Empire, you don't have to worry
about killing other people. In fact, you
can go and destroy entire societies,
which is what the Romans did. And you
can now as an empire enforce impose your
reality, your god on everyone else.
That's how you have monotheism. Does
that make sense? All right. So, let me
explain that. What I'm going to show you
now is how the world view our
understanding of the world changes over time.
time.
Okay. So in the
mother goddess
civilization there are two things about
their world that's very different from
our world. Okay. So the first major
difference and this is this is really
important for you guys to remember is
they understood that mind led to matter.
Mind leads to matter.
But in our world we believe that it's matter
matter
that led to mind. Right? Do you
understand? So in science class you're
taught we have a brain. Then the brain
because of synatic connections creates
the mind. Okay. So, it's matter that
leads to mind.
Um, even though we're taught this, if
you think about it, it actually doesn't
make any sense because how does our
small little brain, how is it able to do
so much processing, which is the mind,
right? How how are we able to imagine?
How are we able to dream? It's really
confusing for us. And quite honestly, if
you talk to the very best
neuroscientists in the world, they their
response will always be don't ask this
question. Okay? It's never like we don't
know. It's always like don't ask this
question. Okay? This question is
forbidden to ask in neuroscience.
But so throughout most of human history,
we believe that was mind that led to
matter. That it's the mind that creates
the brain in order to understand the
world. Okay? that makes a lot more sense
than mind
uh matter leads to mind. Okay. Okay. So
that's the first major difference.
Throughout most of human history, most
societies believe that it was the mind
that creates the brain. The second major
difference is that this is a metaphorical
world. In other words, they spoke using
metaphors. They understood the world
through metaphors. Today we live in a
literal world.
Okay, what's the difference? Well, the
difference is this.
Let's just say that you and I fight.
Well, we would say that okay, what
happened was that um I became angry, the
emotion overwhelmed me, and then I hit
him, then he got angry, then he hit me
back. Okay, this is a literal
interpretation, but back then the
metaphorical understanding was that
anger is a god who seized me and who
propelled me into the fight and then
anger unleashed the god of vengeance who
fought back by seizing the other person
to fight me back. Okay, so we believed
for most of of human history that we
were controlled by forces outside our
control. Now today you may believe that
the literal world makes more sense. But
if you think about it from the
perspective of human thought, okay, how
do you understand the world? How do you
um interpret what goes on in the world?
The metaphorical understanding is
actually much more useful. And that's
why and I and I know this is hard for
you guys to understand. back then they
were much more creative than we are
today. Okay?
And also the things that they were able
to do
are beyond our imagination. So for
example, we've never really figured out
how the Egyptians create the pyramids.
Okay, for our explanation is aliens did
it because their mind is beyond our
imagination. Okay. So that's the that
shows you the switch. Now when we go to
the polytheistic um world, this system
still continues but they add more
elements to make it more complex. Okay.
So the first element is
they believe that we are controlled by
gods. We are the play things of gods.
Now, what's really important to
understand is that these gods, Zeus,
Apollo, Aries, they're no different from
mortals. The only difference is they
just live forever. Okay? So, for
example, if you're a king,
what do you like to do? Well, you like
to go around and chase young girls
around. Okay? What does Zeus do all day?
What does Apollo do all day? These gods
all they do is go around and chase young
girls around. Okay? So there's actually
no difference.
Above the gods are the older gods. Fortune,
Fortune,
fate. So the belief was that even though
these are gods, they're still controlled
by forces beyond their understanding
understanding like fortune and fate.
What mattered in this world was not to
be good. What mattered in this world is
to be lucky. Okay? to be fortunate
because that showed you that that the
gods favored you. And the last element,
the most important element is the unwritten
unwritten
and immutable laws
laws
of the universe.
So think of gravity, how gravity gives
structure to the universe, right? Well,
back then they believe the same thing
where at the at the most fundamental
level there were concepts that existed
like justice
and if you you could have to favor the
gods and you could be very lucky but if
you did things that were unjust then
eventually you'd be punished for it
because you're breaking the structure of
the universe. Okay. So this was the
polyphysic worldview. Now when you go to
the monistic worldview
all this changes because now you have a
new concept that never existed in human
history before called one true god.
And this changes everything. Okay?
Because before as you can see humans
thought in a very complex sophisticated
diverse imaginative way about the world.
But now with the with the advent of
Christianity it's only one true god. And
as such, you have three new concepts
that become dominant in this world.
These these concepts have existed
before, but now they're dominant. The
Okay? If there's one true God, then
there must be one truth to the universe.
And so when we move towards the truth,
that is good, right? But when we move
towards but when we move away from the
truth that is evil.
So now you have a new concept called
evil that that that didn't really exist before.
before.
Okay. You did good things because in
this world it was to your advantage.
Now in this world if you defy God that
is evil.
Okay. And now with truth and evil you
have a new concept called the individual.
Before in this world what mattered was
your family, your community, your
society, the people around you. Now with
the advent of one true God, the
community and family doesn't matter.
What matter is your loyalty, your faith
in the one true God. So you can actually
step outside your community and just do
what you believe is right as long as you
have faith in the one true God.
this three concepts truth, evil,
individual are important for you to
remember because they underpin
modernity. These three concepts once
they grow to a certain extent they will
create modernity. the world we live in.
Okay, our world is controlled by these
three forces. Now, what's important for
us to understand is these three concepts
are beyond the human intuition.
You cannot logically by yourself deduce
or come up with these three concepts.
This world of the mon goddess, it's
intuitive. Okay, this polytheistic world
is also intuitive. But the Christian
world now is counterintuitive. Okay.
Okay.
So as a result um for montheism to
triumph because it is so counter
counterintuitive it must now destroy the
politistic world.
Okay. So the Romans
spent a lot of time taking centuries and
centuries to destroy the politistic
world. But the thing is this,
you can never ever kill an idea.
The idea if it is being suppressed just
goes underground. Okay? So remember here
in the mother god civilization the main
instrument of religious worship are
fertility cults run by women. Well now
that war has come and men have taken
over from women. What happened is that
the woman went underground to create new
religious organizations called mystery schools.
schools.
And mystery schools
what they're trying to do is they're
trying to maintain the best knowledge
and traditions of the mother civiliz the
mother god of civilization.
Okay. Especially the fact that we come
from the mind.
We created the universe through our
imagination. Okay, that's the main
secret that they're trying to maintain.
These mystery schools become extremely
popular among the elite because they
offer great sex. Okay, the elite join
these mystery clubs as sex clubs. Basically,
Basically,
um remember in this civilization what
matter is the womb. So they develop all
sorts of like secret sexual uh
techniques to please the woman be to
make the woman feel association harmony
with the uh uh universe. In this world
the mother goddess sex is a mechanism to
communicate with the universe to
discover the secrets of the universe.
And so they maintain these rituals in
the mystery schools. And the most
powerful people will participate in
these mystery schools. They're called
mystery schools not because they're
secret, but because
everyone is sworn to secrecy. So if you
um ever divulge what actually goes on in
these mystery schools, you'll be
punished by death. Okay? You'll be
executed by the members. But with the
advent of Christianity,
these missionary schools now are a
threat to the empire. Okay? Because
these missionary schools are where the
elite, the local elite hang out. So now
what happens is now they become secret societies.
Okay? That's where they come from.
Secret societies are an attempt to
maintain the secrets of the universe
against the advent of Christianity and empire.
empire.
And secret societies have been around
for a long long time. You may have heard
of Sunni secret societies like the
Knights Templars, Rosian,
illum, the illuminati, the Freemasons.
Okay, they're all very powerful. They're
still around. Yes, I understand that.
But what I'm saying is there are a lot
more secret societies that we do not
know about and who've been around for
much longer. Okay? But they're all
trying to maintain the secret of the
universe which is that mind leads to
matter. That's the great secret of the
universe. And this is something that
we've always believed and always known.
But with the advent of Christianity,
this has been become suppressed over time.
time. All right.
All right.
So any questions before I move on? Okay.
So now what what I will do is I'm I'm
going to explain to you Christianity
and I'll explain to you what these
secret societies believe. Okay. I' I've
already explained to you where they come
from. But now what I will do is explain
to you what they actually believe about
Okay.
So what I'm going to do is first thing
I'm going to do is explain to you what
most Christians believe about the
religion. Okay? This is called the orthodox
orthodox
or the canonical perspective.
perspective.
Okay? So this is what you're taught
officially by the church. Christianity
has many different factions, but they
all believe in a certain interpretation
of the Bible. Okay? Then what I'm going
to do is I'm going to show you the
apocryphal. Apocryphal apocryphal just
means hidden okay or secret or esoteric
just a secret knowledge that is kept
within these secret societies. All
right. So the orthodox comes from a
reading of the bible. And the bible at
its core is a story of the covenant
between God and humans. Okay. Covenant.
Covenant means contract or understanding.
understanding.
So throughout
the Bible,
there are a series of covenants. Okay.
The first covenant is between Adam and
God. So you may have heard of the story
of the Garden of Eden, right? God
creates the universe, then creates the
Garden of Eden where he puts Adam and
Eve. And God says to Adam and Eve, "This
is paradise. You don't have to work.
Just enjoy life. The food is free. The
food is plentiful.
Every day, you'll be happy and free of
um want. You will live forever. But
there's only one thing that you must not
do. And only one thing, okay? Whatever
you do, do not eat from the tree of
knowledge of good and evil. Just don't
do that. and you'll be okay. So, of
course, what do Adam and Eve do? They
eat the stupid fruit. Okay? So, then
what God does is he banishes Adam and
Eve from the Garden of Eden. And now
they're forced to work to to grow food
to feed themselves. Okay? And this leads to
to
um society, okay? Development of
society. God looks down from
uh the heavens and sees that humans now
are going to war. They are fighting.
They have private property. And God
says, "I don't want this crap. This is
not why I created humans." Okay? So,
he's like, "You know what? I'm I'm I'm
going to destroy everyone and start
over." But then he sees a human that he
likes named Noah. And this leads to
God saying to Noah, "Build a ship. build
an ark and save yourself because I will
flood the universe. I will destroy the
world. So God God destroys the world and
Noah lives. And then God says to Noah,
you know what? That's kind of silly. I
should destroy the universe. I promise
never ever destroy the world again.
Okay, that is his covenant with Noah.
But God sees that humans are still
wicked and evil. And he says, you know
what? I need to find a man who is good.
And I I need him to grow a nation that
can be the light of the world, that will
be the best example of what it means to
be a good person. So he finds a man
named Abraham. And Abraham, of course,
is the father of a nation called Israel.
And so this is the third covenant.
God says to Abraham, "You and your
children, your
uh grandchildren, your
great-grandchildren are now loyal to me.
I see you as the chosen people, and I
gave you the promised land." Okay,
that's what Israel is, a promised land.
Over time, what happens is that Abraham
and his people, they go off to Egypt.
And in Egypt, they become slaves to the
Pharaoh of Egypt. And then God is like,
"You know what? I should check up on the
Israelites and see how they're doing."
He looks down. He says, "Oops, they're
now slaves to the Pharaoh. So, I need
now to fix this." Okay. So, he appoints
a man named Moses
to free the Israelites from Egypt and
take them back to the promised land.
When Moses does this, God says, "Now,
what you must do is give the Israelites
my law, the Ten Commandments." Okay? The
law. because otherwise I can't trust you
guys to behave.
Okay, so now this is the fourth covenant.
covenant.
So now the Israelites are back in the
promised land but again and even though
there's laws, they still
become wicked and they start to worship
false gods. So God punishes them and God
is now looking for a good leader of the
Israelites. And then finally he finds a
person named David who becomes the king
of the Israelites. And God says to David,
David,
"You are the person I've been looking
for all of eternity. You are the best
example of what it means to be a
faithful follower of me, Yahweh." Okay?
And so this is something called the
Davidic covenant. The Davidic covenant
states that God will always favor Israel
as the chosen nation and the house of
David will rule Israel forever.
Okay, so guys, quick question here. Who
wrote the Bible?
Probably this guy. Okay? Right? If you
have to guess who wrote the Bible,
probably not Moses, probably not
Abraham, probably not Noah, probably not
Adam, probably this guy. Okay? because
he's saying that of these five, okay, I
am the best. I'm the God. I'm the person
that God loves the most. My family will
rule the world because that is God's
will. Okay? Now, of course, that that's
not what happens. Eventually, David has
a son named Solomon. And these two are
considered the two best rulers of
Israel. And this is what we call the
Davidic kingdom. Okay? The Davidic
kingdom, the golden age of Israel. But
after Solomon, the Israelites turned
wicked again. And then God has to punish
them and scatter Israel across the
world. Okay?
And so the last covenant is the arrival
What Jesus does is that
first of all he reasserts the law of
Moses and and say to the Israelite
people remember Moses and his law
because that's what God wants. Then he
sacrificed himself in order to free the
Israelites of the original sin, right?
Because God's pissed off at people
because people
ate the fruit. That's the original sin.
That's the first crime of disobedience
against God. So by killing himself,
Jesus frees humanity of the original
sin. He redeems humanity.
Okay? The last thing that Jesus does is
he creates a new covenant. Okay? A new covenant
covenant
between humanity and God from now on.
Because Jesus has freed everyone from
the original sin. Everyone can now
be with God. You don't have to be
Israelite. You don't have to follow the
Mosaic law. You don't even have to come
from the family of David. Anyone and
everyone can now
love God and God will love that person
back. Okay? And this of course starts Christianity.
Christianity.
All right? So this guys is called
Judaism. What the Jews believe. Okay?
And this is all six is what Christians
believe. Christianity,
right? The first five covenants are what
Jews believe to be true. But they do
believe that eventually someone will
return to restore the kingdom of David.
Okay? But not Jesus. Not Jesus. The
Christians believe that Jesus is the
final prophet.
Okay? In fact, Jesus is God himself.
that that's why it's called Christianity
because they believe in Jesus Christ.
So this is the entire history of Judaism
and Christianity what they believe officially.
officially.
Any questions before I move on? Okay.
Now as you can understand if you are a
true Christian or you're a true Jew
there are actually lots of issues with
this understanding. The first issue is
um why did God have to kick us out of
the Garden of Eden? I mean, was eating
our fruit so bad as to banish us from
paradise? Like what was wrong with that
fruit? Okay, that's a great mystery in
the religion. Why did the original sin
happen? And why was God so angry?
Second problem is Noah.
I mean like God destroyed the world
because we were wicked. But after he
destroyed the world, we were still
wicked. So why did God have to destroy
the world in the first place? If he's
God, then she then should he understand
how humans are? That would he understand
that destroying the world would just I
mean it doesn't really do anything.
Okay, so that's kind of strange. The
last problem is Jesus.
Um, who was Jesus and why did he have to
kill himself? Why did God have to send
his only son to die for humanity? Right?
So, if you're new to Christianity,
the very idea of Jesus actually doesn't
make much sense to you. I grew up in the
West. I grew up in a Christian world and
it never made sense to me. Okay? People
told me about how great Jesus was. Like,
okay, the story doesn't make any sense.
So if you're a really smart person,
there are lots of there are lots of questions
questions
about this interpretation of the Bible
and these are the three major ones.
Okay. So now what I what I will do now
is I'll explain to you what the esoteric
what secret societies believe really happened.
happened.
Okay. So I want to start with Noah. Why
did God destroy the world? The reason
why God destroyed the world is not
because of humans but because of
something else. These people are called
Okay. Um also by by the way um if you
guys are interested in learning more
there are two books that are not part of
the Bible but which will give you
insight into the esoteric knowledge.
Okay. The first is called the book of
Enoch. Book of Enoch.
The second is called
the gospel of Thomas.
Okay. All right. So I am using these two
books as sources for my explanation.
Okay. So the Nephe are
children
of angels and woman. Okay. So what
happened was that um the angels who are
supposed to watch humanity
came down and saw wow these human humans
these females are really beautiful. So
what do they do? Well they have sex with
them right and then what happens they
have lots and lots of children and what
do these children do? These children
enslave humanity. These these people are
called Nephe. Okay so if you if you want
to understand what happened let's do a
thought experiment. Let's just say that
there's this group of superhumans called
the Avengers. You know, Spider-Man, Iron
Man, Captain America, Thor, okay? And
they fight Thanos and they save the
world. And now what do they do? Well,
they're bored. So they start to have
lots and lots of sex. They have lots and
lots of children. And these children now
are like demagogues, right? So what do
they do? Well, they enslave humanity.
But then what do they do? Well, they
start fighting amongst themselves. Okay?
So that's basically what happened. So
God had to destroy the Nephilim because
they are not natural. Angels and humans
are not supposed to have sex with each
other and that this creates a new um
power called the Nephilim. The problem
though is the Nephilim are divine and
therefore they cannot be killed. So you
can get rid of their mortal bodies, but
now they become demons
who live underground and are in the shadows.
shadows.
And guess what guys, they're still here
today. So these these two societies,
they believe the Nephilim are real and
they still control the world. The
richest people in the world are actually Nephilim,
