welcome namaste i'm redfeather thank you for tuning in to this video i'm thankful to the law of attraction and i'm grateful that you allowed yourself to listen to your intuition and guiding you to it this is the way the law of attraction works like attracts like what is this video what is it going to be about why should you stay tuned well it's going to be a brief introduction into theosophy from the work of annie bessant entitled the ancient wisdom but i want to preface this with a new report by some psychologist named fish fishbach i just heard this on npr not too long ago as i was scrolling through my radio stations this morning before i finally settled with classical music as i always do and there was a brief story about humans and our motivations and how what we perceive gives us more motivation is actually not what gives us our motivation if you were they conducted several experiments and they found that mystery or the element of chance actually increases the work effort that someone will put into a given activity now let me explain so they offered people two dollars to drink a very large amount of water if they were able to drink the water they would get the two dollars or in the opposite case they offered the people one or two dollars depending on the flip of a coin if they were able to drink all the water and the group that had the element of chance between the one and two dollars actually drank more or worked harder than the group that knew they were going to earn two dollars if they drank the water furthermore the the study suggested that the element of not knowing actually increases our excitement if you will and i i consider it to be hope the pursuit of happiness all the philosophers have known this for time eternal francis bacon states it very eloquently in his book the wisdom of the ancients which i'll get into with some as well i want to go over the entire chapter on pan and the god of nature because it's truly profound i think he foreshadows beautifully that with the sciences that we have of modern times of probability quantum mechanics cybernetics bacon was the true illuminati rosicrucian now what is theosophy and why did i mention that that story is because it's mystery you see in chance god plays dice plato tells us i believe it's in the symposium that thoth the egyptian god for numbers and um the word literally thought logos represented by the ibis-headed man holding the phoenix staff for resurrection and the ankh for eternal life alex's symbol for the mystery substance that taken into the body transmutes the spirit and allows for extasis or ecstasy to occur and then a union with god work a quote-unquote and theogenic experience what i mean in lay terms is taking a magic mushroom traveling out of your body expanding your consciousness to its fully well as fully as you can possibly perceive it i suppose and then bringing it back in again there's different mysteries they're not all the same between ayahuasca syrian rue morning glory seeds gypsum weed amanita muscari mushrooms psilocybin cubensis mushroom d-lysorgic acid ergot i believe dry banana peels the roots from sweet potatoes basically plants of all different types of you know cannabis obviously hashish and purified form is a very powerful hallucinogen if you eat enough of it their plants in nature in general are designed to aid us it's like a key going in a a hole and you turn it and open the door it's exactly what taking these plants do for you they open them they they dial the code to the stargate and open the portal for you step through philosophy is a key that gets gets you through a lot of doors as well it gets you to the door that will allow you being theogenic experience now theosophy andy bassant who published this book at the turn of the last century tells us in the introduction the unity underlying all religions now i want to preface this too that mystery and the mysteries were what the ancients practiced or worshiped their their religions were called the mystery religions pagans because i believe they understood the underlying fundamental nature of chance or chaos in the universe so we've been living under a false light that there is order and in fact order is not the norm it is the byproduct it is the birth child out of chaos chaos is the egg that the chicken came from and will ultimately go back into again sameness entropy tells us this and was the sameness but the seed all things ultimately revolve around the seed they come out of the seed they grow to fruition they die they fall they degenerate they're diluted they're reintegrated into the seed to be regrown it's an oraboros eating its own tail the nutrients from the dead leaves provide the seed bed for the yearling seed to grow in the spring it's a never-ending cycle eternal without beginning and without end and if i may just allow you to know how long plants and advanced plants have been alive on the face of the earth i was reading about well theories for the origin of the moon and i read this paper presented in nasa and astrophysics published in 1968 and it had a very interesting fact that scientists at that time understood and knew that plants complex plants on land had existed for at least 3.2 to 3.8 billion years on earth because they found a fig tree no mind you have a fossil of a fig tree that had been what we call overlaid or interrupted by a magmaflow and they dated this based on atomic dating i believe it was detritium or something at the time but 3.8 billion years ago roughly or 3.2 and not that you know at that that distance it it's a long time if it is even 3.2 billion years that means that fig trees which are common around us till today and the fruit the fig the fig itself has existed at least that long that's a very complex organism it may seem like it's not but the tree is extremely complex it stores within it a consciousness a record of the entire cosmos i believe the trees are part of a whole system that span throughout the entire cosmos of our galaxy at a minimum perhaps the rest of the galaxies and they spread throughout all the stars that have somewhere around them every star depending on how large or small it is has to have some goldilocks zone you would think where material that didn't you know collect during the formation of the star congealed accreted into planets just like our solar system so every star you see in the sky likely has some sort of planetary bodies or um you know you could say planetoids or minor planets or whatever they've classified pluto is uh proto planets around these these stars and if they're in the right location where they're far enough away it's it's not too hot it's not too cold you know the conditions are kind of kind of appropriate the the planet has some geologic activity it's got an active core and a magnetic field i think some serious things can happen and life can can bloom and blossom i believe that given the universe as we understand it has existed for at least you know 13 to 14 billion years it's a long time for life of a very advanced type to have developed and figured out a way if you will spread itself throughout the entire cosmos and to do this efficiently like a von neumann probe and von neumann came up with a theory of games that revolutionized modern economics and social theory i'm a poker player just like god a game of chance you understand the probabilities and it's an incentive if you if you think that you have good luck you know just the idea of chance what could happen i could get the better outcome where i could get the worst because that's honestly how life really is see life doesn't give us any guaranteed outcome nothing is guaranteed because we have this kind of unknown hanging over our head at the end called death and it's not guaranteed we don't know what's going to happen unless you're a shaman like myself and you've died a number of times and you can take people on the journey and show them but still objectively do i ultimately know who knows you know it's all just a ride according to bill hicks the ancient mystery wisdom was that taking the ride what the ride meant that this is all right an experience that you're creating literally each step that you take each word that you make is active participation and co-creation because we are all each and every one of us individual little nodes or eyes in the mind constituents atoms monads in the cosmos or chaos chaos most that is the all that is god if you will the the all the towel the light and the dark the the chaos and the order they exist co-equally the observer has to be from the field of possibility in order to observe what is possible it's a reciprocal process so out of nothing came something this is the ancient wisdom that all the world's religions were founded upon and founded off of and have grown in a diversified manner over the last 10 15 000 years since the great floods and cataclysms that ended the reign of the last empire the atlanteans and the murians and it's taken us a bit of a while to restart but you know it's it's only a blink of an eye when you consider that 3.2 billion year time frame that fig trees have been here and then okay if you want to take modern science at face value and anthropology very recently a hominid fossil was discovered in ethiopia in africa in the rift valley very near where the original one was discovered by i believe lewis leakey named lucy she was like on straight low pith because that was roughly i believe 3.2 million years old one of our oldest or supposedly our oldest known ancestor on the homo line but she was not actually homo she was australopithecus the homo line they found an ancestor going back i believe 2.8 million years and that is an upright walking likely talking grunting gesticulating pointing signing large-brained mammal with teeth and everything else exactly like anatomically modern homo sapiens sapiens the only thing different between them and us is degree and that degree is refinement of consciousness that's what things are doing we're finding consciousness there was a consciousness that i began talking about originally the tree it's part of the whole system of the cosmos that is a von neumann probe the tree can't exist without fungi or bacteria and if you look at dna analysis the root the most ancient the most primitive of all dna structure on the planet is fungi and bacteria now furthermore fungi and bacteria are capable of surviving in conditions inhospitable to any other life in radioactive environments in outer space space shuttles go up into outer space and come back with all sorts of wild bacteria bacteria that eats metal for crying out loud yeah wild stuff and furthermore bacteria is the smallest known form of life or fungi down to like .0009 microns or something this is just released very incredibly tiny now that tiny particle if cast into outer space can travel on what is known as a photon wave which is basically the waves of light traveling outward from all directions and from all the stars at nearly the speed of light and ultimately it would end up hitting whatever the light did if it hits a planetary body the fungal spore would land on the planetary body these are von neumann probes von neumann ethereum uh manual game theory came up with the theory of von neumann probes also which is a self-replicating organism or machine that's sent out to find a potential place that is going to be hospitable for life to be seated and evolved i believe the fungi the mushrooms are that they're connected with all life in the oceans and on land bacteria plays a crucial role a symbiotic role trees cannot uptake minerals without the mycelium or the mushroom's body on the tree roots coral reef cannot photosynthesize without zooxanthellae which is a bacteria that's grown from whale poop and the coral reef takes it in and then the bacteria photosynthesizes and thus the reefs have life so without the fungi there is no life on this planet and anyone who's ever taken one to use the words of parents mckenna will know sure as as the day is long that if we're really interested in communicating with quote unquote extraterrestrial intelligences the mission or the search for et ceti in recybo where they have the giant antennas looking up into space for radio signals but they should probably begin much more terrestrial in origin and looking underneath that satellite where all the cows grow and there happened to be a ubiquitous amount of psilocybin cubensis mushrooms growing on the holy cow [ __ ] the holy [ __ ] yeah mushrooms cows have been worshipped in india for thousands of years because they're holy because in their poop grows the sacred fruit body of the divine source of all life the connecting thread if you read john m allegro's sacred mushroom in the cross he tells you that philologically in etymology etymologically which means the study of language that jesus in the names in the bible and all the stories are words that literally translate into zeus and ultimately go back to the name of the mushroom the almanito muscaria the lightning bolt which we are living breathing walking talking representations of we're like an external seed or a fruit body that's been cast out in a way and we forget that we're connected to it all that we are like it's active creating force the the epitome if you will at the moment on the progress upwards of the refinement back towards a pure ethereal spiritual body where we're able to exist in the cosmos as stars if you will you know the the sun is not eternal but it certainly lasts for a span of time that we would consider eternal the universe when truly understood is eternal because it has no beginning or no end it's just coming around and going through itself again these von neumann probes they go they begin the process of evolutionary life creation there's a program in the very most basic form of life that already has just like a seed its ultimate goal the fruit so the entire evolutionary process is nothing but a growth of the tree a spreading of the branches and becoming becoming of the purpose of the seed which is to produce the fruit that has more seed inside of it okay and the seed inside the fruit is consciousness the self-awareness that way we can reach out and find others and actually living breathing walking talking representations of the mushroom of the all because all life is connected is all one pan god of nature tells us this francis bacon's the wisdom of the ancients reveals us beautifully now as a shaman i've taken these experiences to heart and i i've i've gone on these journeys and i know what i know and i know no thing just like socrates it's a paradox it's riddle it's a quandary it's an enigma it's a cipher that once understood allows you the keys to being the co-creator of your own reality but with those keys just like you know keys to a fancy new sports car come a great responsibility you can't use this knowledge for negative and expect it not to come back around in a negative fashion if not in this incarnation if you will but most certainly in the next uh yes so annie bessant tells us that right thought is necessary to write conduct right understanding the right living and the divine wisdom whether called by its ancient sanskrit name of brahma vidya or its modern greek name of theosophia theosophy comes to the world as it wants an adequate philosophy and an all-embracing religion and ethic it was once said of the christian scriptures by devotee that they contain shallows in which a child could wade in depths in which a giant must swim a similar statement might be made of theosophy for some of its teachings are so simple and so practical that any person of average intelligence can understand and follow them while others so lofty so profound that the ableist strains his intellect to constrain or to contain them and sinks exhausted in the effort she goes on to tell us it is admitted on all hands that a survey of the great religions of the world shows that they hold in common many religious ethical and philosophical ideas but while the fact is universally granted the explanation of the fact is a matter of dispute some allege the relig that religions have grown up on the soil of human ignorance tilled by the imagination and have been gradually elaborated from crude forms of animism and fetchism their likenesses are referred to universal natural phenomenon and imperfectly observed and fancifully explained solar and star worship being the universal key for one school phallic worship the equally universal key for another fear desire ignorance and wonder led the savage to personify the powers of nature and priests played upon his terror and his hopes his his misty fancies and his bewildered questionings myths became scriptures and symbols facts and as their basis was universal the likeness of the products was inevitable thus speak the quote doctors of comparative mythology to which there is an alternative to understanding an interpretation that that the continual discounting and debasing of this knowledge as fanciful and mythical and what have you is is narcissism it's ego and it's the issue that we have with the materialistic linear causality mode of the west western world today but there's hope goes on she says they cannot deny the likeness but they dimly feel are all men's dearest hopes and loftiest imaginings really nothing more than the outcome of savage fancies and groping ignorance have the great leaders of the race the martyrs and heroes of humanity lived rot and suffered and died and deluded for the mere personifications of astronomical facts and for the draped obscenities of barbarians the second explanation of the common property in the religion of the world asserts the existence of an original teaching in the custody of a brotherhood of great spiritual teachers who themselves the outcome of past cycles of evolution acted as the instructors and guides of the child humanity of our planet imparting to its races and nations in turn the fundamental truths of religion and the form most adapted to the idiosyncrasities of the recipients according to this view the founders of the great religions are members of the one brotherhood and were aided in their missions by many other members lower in degree than themselves initiates and disciples of various grades imminent in spiritual insight and philosophic knowledge or impurity of ethical wisdom these guided the infant nations gave them their polity enacted their laws ruled them as kings taught them as philosophers guided them as priests all the nations of antiquity looked back to such mighty men demigods and heroes and they left their traces in literature and architecture and legislation that such men lived it seems difficult to deny in the face of universal tradition of still existing scriptures and to prehistoric remains for the most part now in ruins to say nothing of other testimony which the ignorant would reject the sacred books of the east are the best evidence for the greatness of their authors for who in the later days or in modern times can even approach the spiritual sublimity of their religious thought the intellectual splendor of their philosophy and the breadth and purity of their ethic and when we find that these books contain teachings about god man in the universe identical in substance under many variety of outer appearance it does not seem unreasonable to refer to them to a central primary body of doctrine to that body we give the name of the divine wisdom in its greek form theosophy this brotherhood this is who the fungi and the taking of the sacred and theogens allow the sages the adapts the philosophers the heroes the great men to communicate with they access their they've been guiding evolution through the subconscious through the all is mind the ether if you will if you understand quantum mechanics our brothers our evolved brothers on the other planets and other solar systems and other places they have the power to connect with all other life that has the same software if you will or hardware and communicate help guide that that progress they understand that it's it's a time that takes refinement it takes transmutation it takes effort we understand that they have patience because they understand that time is an illusion and that ultimately we will arrive at that location as well namaste i love you all and we are all one just let the light touch you peace
