1
00:00:07,659 --> 00:00:10,227
The Three Jewels of Buddhism...
2
00:00:10,271 --> 00:00:12,882
Something's trying to get our attention,
3
00:00:12,925 --> 00:00:14,579
try to tell us something.
4
00:00:14,623 --> 00:00:17,147
The Hindu Trimurti...
5
00:00:17,191 --> 00:00:19,715
We see it going back, very, very far
6
00:00:19,758 --> 00:00:22,239
into the earliest
aspects of human history.
7
00:00:22,283 --> 00:00:25,851
And the Holy Trinity of Christianity...
8
00:00:25,895 --> 00:00:30,639
The number represents a portal, a gateway
9
00:00:30,682 --> 00:00:32,728
into another realm.
10
00:00:32,771 --> 00:00:35,339
Throughout human history the number
11
00:00:35,383 --> 00:00:39,213
three has always had
a unique significance.
12
00:00:39,256 --> 00:00:40,910
But why?
13
00:00:40,953 --> 00:00:43,565
No matter what ancient culture
14
00:00:43,608 --> 00:00:48,831
you look at, the highest
ones always came as threes.
15
00:00:48,874 --> 00:00:51,529
What is it about the number three,
16
00:00:51,573 --> 00:00:56,056
that makes it play such a big
role in religion, architecture,
17
00:00:56,099 --> 00:00:59,407
and even the occult?
18
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:03,106
And could there be an
extraterrestrial connection?
19
00:01:04,716 --> 00:01:07,806
Once we understand this power of three,
20
00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:12,376
we ourselves will become
like our creators, the gods.
21
00:01:13,856 --> 00:01:15,901
Millions of people around the world
22
00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:18,121
believe we have been visited in the past
23
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:21,081
by extraterrestrial beings.
24
00:01:21,124 --> 00:01:23,866
What if it were true?
25
00:01:23,909 --> 00:01:28,871
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
26
00:01:28,914 --> 00:01:32,004
And if so, might the
secrets of the universe
27
00:01:32,048 --> 00:01:37,923
be revealed by examining the
incredible power of three?
28
00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:14,177
Newgrange, Ireland... The walls
of this 5,000 year old passage
29
00:02:14,221 --> 00:02:18,660
tomb are decorated with
mysterious designs made up
30
00:02:18,703 --> 00:02:22,142
of three connected spirals.
31
00:02:22,185 --> 00:02:24,840
Yunnan Province, China.
32
00:02:24,883 --> 00:02:30,150
Three 1,100-year-old Buddhist
temples known as the Three.
33
00:02:30,193 --> 00:02:34,719
Pagodas form a triangle fought
to protect the population from
34
00:02:34,763 --> 00:02:38,070
natural disasters.
35
00:02:38,114 --> 00:02:41,509
Ancient Greece... according to myth,
36
00:02:41,552 --> 00:02:44,512
the destiny of gods and men is controlled
37
00:02:44,555 --> 00:02:50,996
by all-powerful beings
known as the Three Fates.
38
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,564
Various cultures across the world
39
00:02:53,608 --> 00:02:57,307
have long shared a belief that
the number three represents
40
00:02:57,351 --> 00:03:01,833
something sacred, mystical, even divine.
41
00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:06,055
All human beings understand numbers.
42
00:03:06,098 --> 00:03:07,926
All of us live in a physical universe
43
00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:10,712
where things come in different numbers.
44
00:03:10,755 --> 00:03:13,367
And so different cultures will
highlight different numbers
45
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:16,239
as particularly important,
ritualized them, and make
46
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,285
them culturally important.
47
00:03:19,764 --> 00:03:21,549
We see widespread use of the number three
48
00:03:21,592 --> 00:03:24,116
in European traditions, but also, we
49
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,729
see it in selected traditions
around the world too.
50
00:03:27,772 --> 00:03:30,253
These number traditions can
become very, very powerful
51
00:03:30,297 --> 00:03:31,689
and connect cultures together.
52
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,867
The unique reverence for the number three
53
00:03:35,911 --> 00:03:40,742
dates back thousands of years,
and can still be found today
54
00:03:40,785 --> 00:03:48,489
in art, architecture,
mythology, literature, science,
55
00:03:48,532 --> 00:03:50,317
and religion.
56
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,232
But why?
57
00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:55,713
What is it about this number
that has continued to hold
58
00:03:55,757 --> 00:03:58,368
such significance for mankind?
59
00:04:00,065 --> 00:04:03,373
If you think of our lives,
we have a past, a present,
60
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:04,548
and a future.
61
00:04:04,592 --> 00:04:08,987
Our story falls neatly into three.
62
00:04:09,031 --> 00:04:10,554
Throughout folklore and mythology,
63
00:04:10,598 --> 00:04:13,514
we find the number three.
64
00:04:13,557 --> 00:04:16,560
Something about three is
trying to get our attention,
65
00:04:16,604 --> 00:04:19,302
trying to tell us something.
66
00:04:19,346 --> 00:04:22,914
The number three comes up many,
67
00:04:22,958 --> 00:04:26,962
many times in Judeo-Christian scriptures.
68
00:04:27,005 --> 00:04:31,227
Jonah is in the belly of
the whale for three days.
69
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:35,057
In Genesis, the waters are
separated from the earth
70
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,320
after three days.
71
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:40,758
And the New Testament, Jesus
in the tomb for three days.
72
00:04:40,802 --> 00:04:43,935
There's just a special
significance there.
73
00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:49,376
We see the number three in sacred texts.
74
00:04:49,419 --> 00:04:51,116
And why is that?
75
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,511
Is there something within us
that is hardwired to understand
76
00:04:54,555 --> 00:04:56,513
that three is a sacred number.
77
00:04:56,557 --> 00:04:58,907
And where does this come from?
78
00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:07,002
The Giza Plateau, Egypt...
79
00:05:07,045 --> 00:05:12,137
Three Great Pyramids line the
desert just outside of Cairo.
80
00:05:12,181 --> 00:05:15,445
Constructed more than 4,000 years ago,
81
00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:20,232
this unique trio of monuments is
arguably the most recognizable
82
00:05:20,276 --> 00:05:23,235
in all the world.
83
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,630
The pyramids also employ
the most magnificent use
84
00:05:26,674 --> 00:05:29,372
of triangles in architecture.
85
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:31,156
You had in ancient Egypt
86
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,246
what we might think of
as a Masonic tradition.
87
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:36,640
There were the builders themselves,
88
00:05:36,684 --> 00:05:40,383
who embodied the knowledge of
geometry, the knowledge of tool
89
00:05:40,427 --> 00:05:43,125
making, and how to put
buildings together.
90
00:05:43,168 --> 00:05:46,911
And especially, how to create buildings
91
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,174
that were themselves, the vehicles
92
00:05:49,218 --> 00:05:53,396
for initiating or inducing
higher consciousness.
93
00:05:54,745 --> 00:05:56,356
The Giza pyramids are
94
00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:59,707
very interesting in that you
have three major pyramids.
95
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:02,362
Their sides are triangles.
96
00:06:02,405 --> 00:06:06,627
Think of the triangle, the
simplest most perfect geometric
97
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:07,454
form.
98
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:11,327
The ancients were certainly
99
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:15,897
intrigued by geometry,
indeed sacred geometry.
100
00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:21,381
And certainly, a triangle is
one of those basic archetypal
101
00:06:21,424 --> 00:06:23,731
shapes that it perhaps is hardwired
102
00:06:23,774 --> 00:06:28,953
into the human consciousness,
and this may find expression
103
00:06:28,997 --> 00:06:32,566
in monuments, such as the pyramids.
104
00:06:32,609 --> 00:06:35,917
You've got that
progress towards perfection,
105
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,658
towards the top of the triangle.
106
00:06:37,701 --> 00:06:41,444
It's a very upward-directed,
higher-directed shape.
107
00:06:41,488 --> 00:06:45,274
And I think we kind of get
that on a subconscious level.
108
00:06:45,317 --> 00:06:49,496
So there is a
sense in which the number three
109
00:06:49,539 --> 00:06:53,195
in the form of the triangle,
in the form of the apex
110
00:06:53,238 --> 00:06:58,200
of the pyramid represents
a portal, a gateway
111
00:06:58,243 --> 00:07:00,507
into another realm.
112
00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:04,293
You might say it's a realm of the gods.
113
00:07:04,336 --> 00:07:06,991
Do the three pyramids of Giza
114
00:07:07,035 --> 00:07:11,605
really represent some sort
of portal to a divine realm?
115
00:07:11,648 --> 00:07:15,478
Perhaps, more clues about the
sacred nature of the triangle
116
00:07:15,522 --> 00:07:18,394
can be found by examining
the work of one of the most
117
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,744
celebrated mathematicians of all time.
118
00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:26,489
Samos, Greece.
119
00:07:26,533 --> 00:07:29,187
Sixth century, BC.
120
00:07:29,231 --> 00:07:32,539
Greek mathematician and
philosopher Pythagoras
121
00:07:32,582 --> 00:07:35,193
introduces his famous theorem.
122
00:07:35,237 --> 00:07:35,933
A2+b2=c2.
123
00:07:40,111 --> 00:07:43,114
The formula explains the
mathematical relationship
124
00:07:43,158 --> 00:07:46,640
between the three sides
of right triangles.
125
00:07:46,683 --> 00:07:50,382
And some believe it was
originally based on the design
126
00:07:50,426 --> 00:07:52,384
of the Egyptian pyramids.
127
00:07:53,951 --> 00:07:56,954
Pythagoras lived 2,500 years ago.
128
00:07:56,998 --> 00:08:01,524
It is said that he studied with
the great teachers of Egypt,
129
00:08:01,568 --> 00:08:05,702
and he brought the wisdom
of Egypt back to Greece.
130
00:08:05,746 --> 00:08:09,358
That in effect was the
birth of Greek philosophy.
131
00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:11,360
Pythagoras and for a lot
132
00:08:11,403 --> 00:08:13,710
of ancient philosophers, mathematics
133
00:08:13,754 --> 00:08:16,626
was a kind of more precise description
134
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:18,541
of the supernatural.
135
00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:20,543
They're coming to terms with man's place
136
00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:22,284
on this earth and one of the ways you
137
00:08:22,327 --> 00:08:25,505
do that is by measurements, and
measurements have to develop.
138
00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:27,724
And when they develop,
they develop more complex
139
00:08:27,768 --> 00:08:29,291
mathematics.
140
00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:31,772
And Pythagoras is one of
the very early philosophers
141
00:08:31,815 --> 00:08:34,426
to develop this stuff.
142
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:37,386
Pythagoras taught
that everything in the universe
143
00:08:37,429 --> 00:08:40,911
has a three-part structure.
144
00:08:40,955 --> 00:08:42,609
And every problem in the universe
145
00:08:42,652 --> 00:08:46,351
can be reduced
diagrammatically to a triangle.
146
00:08:46,395 --> 00:08:48,571
To Pythagoras and his
followers, the triangle
147
00:08:48,615 --> 00:08:51,356
represented ascension,
and the triangle itself,
148
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,360
and the number three was the
key to all the hidden mysteries.
149
00:08:57,319 --> 00:08:59,321
In Carnac, France
150
00:08:59,364 --> 00:09:02,977
there are thousands of
megalithic standing stones
151
00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:07,155
that are over 6,000 years
old, and many of them
152
00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:10,593
are in the form of a right triangle,
153
00:09:10,637 --> 00:09:13,248
or a Pythagorean triangle.
154
00:09:13,291 --> 00:09:15,685
And they were built
many thousands of years
155
00:09:15,729 --> 00:09:17,557
before Pythagoras.
156
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:22,126
These same geometric relationships
157
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:24,955
of the right triangle
have also been found
158
00:09:24,999 --> 00:09:28,393
at Avebury and Stonehenge.
159
00:09:28,437 --> 00:09:32,441
And you have to ask yourself,
does the Pythagorean triangle
160
00:09:32,484 --> 00:09:37,402
represent some kind of special
extraterrestrial geometry?
161
00:09:37,446 --> 00:09:40,405
A geometry of threes?
162
00:09:43,147 --> 00:09:49,719
The bottom line is that a2+b2=c2 applies
163
00:09:49,763 --> 00:09:52,679
to the entire universe.
164
00:09:52,722 --> 00:09:56,378
And so, for Pythagoras to
come up with this, of course,
165
00:09:56,421 --> 00:10:01,209
is extraordinary, but
he was not the first.
166
00:10:01,252 --> 00:10:04,429
So, we know that
Pythagoras got this information
167
00:10:04,473 --> 00:10:07,258
from ancient Egypt, and the
ancient Egyptians themselves
168
00:10:07,302 --> 00:10:10,653
say that this was
knowledge from the gods.
169
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:14,222
So, what we have is a situation
whereby the ancient Egyptians
170
00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:16,877
got this information from
a non-human intelligence
171
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,663
from an extraterrestrial
source, preserved it in secret
172
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:23,057
for thousands of years.
173
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,276
And Pythagoras is really the first one
174
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,236
to take it outside of
Egypt, and basically
175
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:31,892
begin to speak to the world
about what it is, what
176
00:10:31,935 --> 00:10:36,679
the ancient Egyptians knew
about this divine information.
177
00:10:38,899 --> 00:10:42,946
Did Pythagoras really
get his knowledge of geometry,
178
00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:45,949
and its profound
connection to the universe
179
00:10:45,993 --> 00:10:48,691
from an otherworldly source?
180
00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:53,609
Pythagorean triangle may
contain wisdom that we still
181
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:56,220
haven't understood in terms of how
182
00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:59,049
physical, terrestrial geometry connects
183
00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:04,446
to extraterrestrial domains
that may coexist with our own.
184
00:11:04,489 --> 00:11:08,711
Did extra terrestrial
visitors provide early humans
185
00:11:08,755 --> 00:11:11,714
with advanced mathematical information?
186
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:14,935
Information that would help
them unlock the secrets
187
00:11:14,978 --> 00:11:16,850
of the universe.
188
00:11:16,893 --> 00:11:20,070
And if so, why?
189
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:23,117
And what is the secret
of the number three?
190
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,640
Is it a code?
191
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:27,512
Or could it be a gateway to communication
192
00:11:27,556 --> 00:11:31,691
with mankind's alien ancestors?
193
00:11:31,734 --> 00:11:34,955
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe further evidence can
194
00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:39,829
be found by examining a
mysterious artifact, one that
195
00:11:39,873 --> 00:11:42,745
could very well change the world.
196
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:59,762
Cambridge University, England... here,
197
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:03,592
in the library of this
800-year-old institution
198
00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:07,770
are the research papers
of Sir Isaac Newton.
199
00:12:07,814 --> 00:12:11,992
One of the most influential
scientists of the 17th century,
200
00:12:12,035 --> 00:12:14,516
Newton introduced what became the basis
201
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,606
of all modern physics...
202
00:12:17,649 --> 00:12:20,217
The Three Laws Of Motion.
203
00:12:20,261 --> 00:12:21,697
One of the things
204
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:24,134
I think we often forget
about people like Newton,
205
00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:26,615
he was also very much into alchemy,
206
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:29,705
and he was very much a mystic himself.
207
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,012
In mystical circles and in alchemy,
208
00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,754
three is considered a powerful number.
209
00:12:34,797 --> 00:12:38,235
So it was natural for people to
try and write things in threes,
210
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:41,325
and break it down into
threes, and use that principle
211
00:12:41,369 --> 00:12:43,675
to communicate information.
212
00:12:43,719 --> 00:12:49,246
Alchemy was a hope
of early magicians or chemists.
213
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:51,466
The idea was that maybe if
they could just figure out
214
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:53,424
how to combine different
materials, together
215
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:56,340
they could wind up with
something precious.
216
00:12:56,384 --> 00:12:58,212
There was a long-standing interest in it,
217
00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:00,518
and a lot of the sort of
early scientific developments.
218
00:13:00,562 --> 00:13:03,652
And even ideas of chemistry
came from this practice.
219
00:13:06,611 --> 00:13:08,875
Included among Newton's writings
220
00:13:08,918 --> 00:13:13,749
on philosophy, astronomy, and mathematics
221
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:17,187
is a cryptic translation
of an ancient document that
222
00:13:17,231 --> 00:13:20,190
has fascinated alchemists for centuries.
223
00:13:22,192 --> 00:13:26,631
An emerald tablet,
carved on green crystal.
224
00:13:26,675 --> 00:13:30,635
The tablet is believed to be one
of several that contained not
225
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,030
only information on the
practice of alchemy,
226
00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:35,989
but the secrets of the universe.
227
00:13:38,905 --> 00:13:41,472
But although it is referenced by Newton
228
00:13:41,516 --> 00:13:45,172
and written about in
numerous other ancient texts,
229
00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:48,305
the existence of the
so-called emerald tablets
230
00:13:48,349 --> 00:13:52,962
is largely thought to be a myth.
231
00:13:53,006 --> 00:13:55,835
The emerald tablet or tablets
232
00:13:55,878 --> 00:14:01,536
contained perhaps the most
fundamental ancient wisdom.
233
00:14:01,579 --> 00:14:05,453
The ancient wisdom of transmutation,
234
00:14:05,496 --> 00:14:13,287
the secrets of longevity,
the secrets of the cosmos.
235
00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:15,550
And there are many different legends
236
00:14:15,593 --> 00:14:17,726
about this tablet or tablets.
237
00:14:17,769 --> 00:14:22,122
Some people say that they were
found in the Great Pyramid
238
00:14:22,165 --> 00:14:23,471
thousands of years ago.
239
00:14:26,256 --> 00:14:29,651
The so-called
emerald tablets had the secrets
240
00:14:29,694 --> 00:14:32,523
of alchemy, and alchemy itself wasn't
241
00:14:32,567 --> 00:14:36,963
just about the transmutation of
vise matter, into a pure state,
242
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:39,922
into gold.
243
00:14:39,966 --> 00:14:45,754
But it was about the knowledge
of the secrets of the universe.
244
00:14:45,797 --> 00:14:50,150
About how we, ourselves,
could transform ourself,
245
00:14:50,193 --> 00:14:54,241
and become at one with
the universe as a whole.
246
00:14:54,284 --> 00:14:56,591
The emerald tablet has a very interesting
247
00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:58,071
phrase.
248
00:14:58,114 --> 00:15:02,510
Three is the great mystery
come from the great one.
249
00:15:02,553 --> 00:15:04,555
It says that three is
the great mystery that
250
00:15:04,599 --> 00:15:07,036
unifies the universe.
251
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,387
It says that power, wisdom,
awareness all arises
252
00:15:10,431 --> 00:15:13,782
from this interplay of three.
253
00:15:13,825 --> 00:15:15,566
What we're being confronted
254
00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:18,439
within the emerald tablets
is basically this notion
255
00:15:18,482 --> 00:15:22,269
that if we take two substances,
we can make a third substance
256
00:15:22,312 --> 00:15:23,835
out of this.
257
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,316
Three as such is always the
power of transformation.
258
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,405
It is the end result for the alchemists.
259
00:15:28,449 --> 00:15:30,973
Basically saying, I took certain things
260
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:33,280
and I created something new.
261
00:15:33,323 --> 00:15:38,198
And that is represented
by the third element.
262
00:15:38,241 --> 00:15:41,462
The information was written
down, which basically details
263
00:15:41,505 --> 00:15:43,899
that if anybody were to
possess this knowledge,
264
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:49,122
he would become a master of
life, a master over death,
265
00:15:49,165 --> 00:15:52,690
an almost supernatural being
who could do anything at will.
266
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:59,567
Were early scientists,
like Isaac Newton seeking
267
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:01,221
extraterrestrial knowledge?
268
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,618
And wants that knowledge based,
in part, on a unique power
269
00:16:07,662 --> 00:16:10,317
inherent in the number three.
270
00:16:13,363 --> 00:16:17,802
Perhaps answers can be found by
taking a closer look at the man
271
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:22,764
many believed to be the author
of the emerald tablets, Hermes.
272
00:16:22,807 --> 00:16:25,723
Trismegistus.
273
00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:28,552
Starting in the 4th-century BC,
274
00:16:28,596 --> 00:16:32,382
a character develops
called Hermes Trismegistus.
275
00:16:32,426 --> 00:16:35,385
His name just means Hermes thrice great.
276
00:16:35,429 --> 00:16:39,172
So, Hermes Trismegistus is the
Hellenistic Egyptian version
277
00:16:39,215 --> 00:16:41,870
of the Greek Hermes, and he is associated
278
00:16:41,913 --> 00:16:44,438
with the Egyptian god, Thoth.
279
00:16:46,179 --> 00:16:48,094
And so, for that reason, primarily, he
280
00:16:48,137 --> 00:16:51,880
becomes associated with his
magical practices of theurgy,
281
00:16:51,923 --> 00:16:56,189
which is doing the works of the
gods, influencing the world.
282
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,455
At some point
as the Greeks moved into Egypt,
283
00:17:01,498 --> 00:17:05,067
and the Romans moved into
Egypt there was an endeavor
284
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,765
to correlate the Egyptian traditions
285
00:17:07,809 --> 00:17:10,377
with the Greek and Roman traditions.
286
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:16,078
So, you had this connection
between Thoth and Hermes.
287
00:17:16,122 --> 00:17:18,863
And the idea in both cases is this
288
00:17:18,907 --> 00:17:22,302
is the deity that is the messenger
289
00:17:22,345 --> 00:17:25,740
or the link between our human realm,
290
00:17:25,783 --> 00:17:28,003
and the higher realm of the gods.
291
00:17:30,005 --> 00:17:32,138
According to some legends,
292
00:17:32,181 --> 00:17:37,143
he was a reincarnation of Thoth,
the ancient scribe of Egypt.
293
00:17:37,186 --> 00:17:39,536
The scribe of the gods.
294
00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:45,107
He was an individual who brought
knowledge, who brought wisdom,
295
00:17:45,151 --> 00:17:49,459
he would consider thrice
great, three times great.
296
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,640
Hermes descended from the
sky in what was considered
297
00:17:56,684 --> 00:17:59,469
to be a flying ship.
298
00:17:59,513 --> 00:18:04,909
And we have the exact same story
in ancient Egypt with Thoth.
299
00:18:04,953 --> 00:18:08,696
Also having descended from
the sky and his whole premise
300
00:18:08,739 --> 00:18:13,570
was to teach the people
in scientific disciplines.
301
00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:17,922
Was Hermes Trismegistus
302
00:18:17,966 --> 00:18:22,318
really the reincarnation
of the Egyptian god Thoth?
303
00:18:22,362 --> 00:18:27,062
And if so, did he serve
as a messenger between man
304
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:31,980
and the gods, as the
ancient Greeks believed?
305
00:18:32,023 --> 00:18:35,070
Or might he have been, as
ancient astronaut theorists
306
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:38,639
contend, an extraterrestrial being.
307
00:18:38,682 --> 00:18:41,555
One who brought mankind the
knowledge of the universe
308
00:18:41,598 --> 00:18:44,514
in the form of emerald tablets.
309
00:18:44,558 --> 00:18:47,474
The emerald
tablets are a fascinating body
310
00:18:47,517 --> 00:18:49,302
of knowledge.
311
00:18:49,345 --> 00:18:52,435
It gives rise to the idea
that many different systems,
312
00:18:52,479 --> 00:18:55,308
whether we're dealing
with physics systems,
313
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:58,963
or systems of consciousness,
systems of philosophy,
314
00:18:59,007 --> 00:19:02,402
systems of religion will
always be underlined
315
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:07,189
by this prevalence of the number three.
316
00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:11,802
You have to ask
yourself is the emerald tablet
317
00:19:11,846 --> 00:19:14,762
some kind of extraterrestrial knowledge
318
00:19:14,805 --> 00:19:18,766
that's been handed down to us?
319
00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:21,986
So maybe the key to immortality is
320
00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:25,251
written in the emerald
tablet in a code of threes.
321
00:19:29,255 --> 00:19:33,041
Did extra terrestrial
messengers really give mankind
322
00:19:33,084 --> 00:19:36,784
the secrets of the universe
as ancient astronaut theorists
323
00:19:36,827 --> 00:19:38,612
suggest?
324
00:19:38,655 --> 00:19:41,919
And is one of the keys to
rediscovering that knowledge
325
00:19:41,963 --> 00:19:44,966
related to the number three?
326
00:19:45,009 --> 00:19:47,490
Perhaps another clue can be found
327
00:19:47,534 --> 00:19:53,104
by examining a mysterious
gland, inside the human brain.
328
00:20:01,287 --> 00:20:07,728
Washington DC April 2013.
329
00:20:07,771 --> 00:20:12,254
We have a chance to improve
the lives of not just millions
330
00:20:12,298 --> 00:20:14,474
but billions of people on this planet,
331
00:20:14,517 --> 00:20:17,520
through the research that's done.
332
00:20:17,564 --> 00:20:20,219
US President Barack Obama,
333
00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:22,873
unveils an ambitious
government-funded research
334
00:20:22,917 --> 00:20:28,227
project designed to map the human brain.
335
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:32,231
Titled, The Brain Initiative, the program
336
00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:36,322
promises to shed new light
on how human beings learn,
337
00:20:36,365 --> 00:20:38,846
think, remember, and create.
338
00:20:41,457 --> 00:20:43,677
So there are many things
that science still does not
339
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,288
understand about how
the human brain works.
340
00:20:46,332 --> 00:20:49,378
There is 100 billion neurons in the brain
341
00:20:49,422 --> 00:20:54,340
and then there's about 100,000
trillion connections possible.
342
00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:57,125
If we can understand it, we
can crack the neural code.
343
00:20:57,168 --> 00:20:59,736
It'll unlock a lot of answers
to understanding things
344
00:20:59,780 --> 00:21:01,347
like disease and how to cure them
345
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:06,917
and it really is the final
frontier of human anatomy.
346
00:21:06,961 --> 00:21:10,051
Just how the human
brain functions has remained
347
00:21:10,094 --> 00:21:15,099
a mystery that has puzzled
mankind for thousands of years.
348
00:21:15,143 --> 00:21:18,799
But according to many ancient
cultures and religions,
349
00:21:18,842 --> 00:21:22,193
the workings of the brain
are not the mere workings
350
00:21:22,237 --> 00:21:26,023
of a human organ, but are
linked to something much more
351
00:21:26,067 --> 00:21:30,376
profound, something of
extraterrestrial origin.
352
00:21:36,469 --> 00:21:41,343
Lidder valley, Northern India.
353
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:45,695
Here, on a snow covered mountain
in the heart of the Himalayas
354
00:21:45,739 --> 00:21:48,481
lies the Amarnath cave.
355
00:21:48,524 --> 00:21:50,961
Every summer, thousands of Hindus
356
00:21:51,005 --> 00:21:54,138
make the treacherous journey
through the steep terrain
357
00:21:54,182 --> 00:21:57,403
to witness the formation
of a massive vertical ice
358
00:21:57,446 --> 00:22:01,668
stalagmite, thought to represent
Lord Shiva, one of the most
359
00:22:01,711 --> 00:22:05,193
powerful gods of Hinduism.
360
00:22:05,236 --> 00:22:08,501
According to mythology,
it was in this cave
361
00:22:08,544 --> 00:22:11,591
that Shiva revealed
the secrets of creation
362
00:22:11,634 --> 00:22:14,507
to his goddess wife Parvati.
363
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:16,987
There are three great divine energies
364
00:22:17,031 --> 00:22:21,862
in the Hindu imagination
involved in the creation story.
365
00:22:21,905 --> 00:22:24,386
Brahma actually creates things.
366
00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:28,172
This is the great god Brahma
brings things into being.
367
00:22:28,216 --> 00:22:32,394
Vishnu maintains reality,
and Shiva destroys.
368
00:22:32,438 --> 00:22:35,484
Now Shiva, is just as
important as the other two
369
00:22:35,528 --> 00:22:37,268
divine energies.
370
00:22:37,312 --> 00:22:42,404
In fact, the Trinity would not
exist without the destruction.
371
00:22:42,448 --> 00:22:45,712
You cannot have renewal, you
cannot have continued growth
372
00:22:45,755 --> 00:22:47,104
without the destructive energy.
373
00:22:50,456 --> 00:22:54,982
In Hinduism, Shiva is
often pictured with a trident
374
00:22:55,025 --> 00:23:00,030
the prongs representing his
three fundamental powers; Will,
375
00:23:00,074 --> 00:23:03,164
action, and knowledge.
376
00:23:03,207 --> 00:23:07,081
He is also often illustrated
as having a third eye
377
00:23:07,124 --> 00:23:09,431
in the middle of his forehead.
378
00:23:09,475 --> 00:23:11,259
But why?
379
00:23:11,302 --> 00:23:13,957
In the iconography, he is clearly
380
00:23:14,001 --> 00:23:17,265
depicted with a vertical third eye right
381
00:23:17,308 --> 00:23:20,137
in the middle of his forehead.
382
00:23:20,181 --> 00:23:24,577
With that eye, he can see
things, he has a clairvoyance.
383
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:29,016
When his eye opens, it also
radiates a lot of energy
384
00:23:29,059 --> 00:23:32,193
through that eye.
385
00:23:32,236 --> 00:23:34,151
And then when that is opened up and then
386
00:23:34,195 --> 00:23:36,893
everything becomes clear.
387
00:23:36,937 --> 00:23:40,462
And then of course the universe
is yours, because then you
388
00:23:40,506 --> 00:23:43,552
are able to communicate
with with everyone else
389
00:23:43,596 --> 00:23:47,861
because then you are in part
with the cosmic frequency.
390
00:23:53,170 --> 00:23:57,305
In the spiritual beliefs
of many cultures, including
391
00:23:57,348 --> 00:24:00,917
ancient India, including
many parts of Asia
392
00:24:00,961 --> 00:24:03,354
there is a third eye that is located
393
00:24:03,398 --> 00:24:05,487
in the middle of the
forehead, generally, right
394
00:24:05,531 --> 00:24:11,711
between the two eyes and that
is a center of spiritual power.
395
00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:14,714
And in some cases, it is thought
to have supernatural powers.
396
00:24:21,068 --> 00:24:23,549
In the principles of Freemasonry,
397
00:24:23,592 --> 00:24:26,160
there is a consistent
and recurring notion
398
00:24:26,203 --> 00:24:28,989
that two sides or pillars can only
399
00:24:29,032 --> 00:24:33,863
find a balance by the addition
of a third center structure.
400
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:36,997
This center structure
is often represented
401
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,174
as a mystical or third eye.
402
00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:42,002
But why?
403
00:24:42,045 --> 00:24:46,006
Is it meant to represent
that of an all-seeing god,
404
00:24:46,049 --> 00:24:49,792
or does it suggest
something quite different,
405
00:24:49,836 --> 00:24:52,012
something perhaps that can even be
406
00:24:52,055 --> 00:24:54,623
found within the human brain?
407
00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:56,103
This is represented
408
00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:58,366
in many mystical traditions
that this is somehow
409
00:24:58,409 --> 00:24:59,889
the mystical eye.
410
00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:01,848
There have been many
different theories about this.
411
00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:03,545
But one of the more interesting ones
412
00:25:03,589 --> 00:25:06,505
is that some people said it
referred to the pineal gland,
413
00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:09,769
which is a light sensitive
organ that is actually somewhere
414
00:25:09,812 --> 00:25:12,162
in here.
415
00:25:12,206 --> 00:25:15,601
Part of the endocrine
system, the pineal gland
416
00:25:15,644 --> 00:25:17,951
is no larger than a grain of rice
417
00:25:17,994 --> 00:25:20,649
and is shaped like a pine cone.
418
00:25:20,693 --> 00:25:23,609
Though it is located deep
in the center of the brain,
419
00:25:23,652 --> 00:25:26,437
between the two hemispheres, it appears
420
00:25:26,481 --> 00:25:30,137
to share some characteristics
with the human eye.
421
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:31,704
The function of the pineal gland
422
00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:35,229
is mainly to release a hormone
called melatonin, which
423
00:25:35,272 --> 00:25:38,101
controls the sleep wake cycles.
424
00:25:38,145 --> 00:25:40,147
So because it's light sensitive it's
425
00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:43,367
sometimes called the third eye.
426
00:25:43,411 --> 00:25:46,196
And it's had some mystical
implications as well
427
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,243
because it's this
asymmetrical structure that's
428
00:25:49,286 --> 00:25:50,679
right in the center of the brain.
429
00:25:55,075 --> 00:25:57,294
Is it possible that ancient man
430
00:25:57,338 --> 00:26:01,516
was aware of the existence
of the pineal gland?
431
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,564
And if so, were they also
aware of its special function
432
00:26:05,607 --> 00:26:07,174
within the brain?
433
00:26:07,217 --> 00:26:09,089
From the earliest stages in human history
434
00:26:09,132 --> 00:26:11,700
across a broad spectrum of cultures,
435
00:26:11,744 --> 00:26:15,617
this idea of the pineal gland,
being a mystery, gland that
436
00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:18,315
is somehow related to enlightenment,
437
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:24,800
or a mystical experience is
something that we see widely.
438
00:26:24,844 --> 00:26:28,804
Our two eyes are bodily eyes
allow us to see around us.
439
00:26:28,848 --> 00:26:31,938
The third eye allows
us to see beyond that.
440
00:26:31,981 --> 00:26:36,769
It allows us to see things
that we would not normally see.
441
00:26:36,812 --> 00:26:40,250
Is it possible that
a so-called third eye really
442
00:26:40,294 --> 00:26:41,991
exists?
443
00:26:42,035 --> 00:26:45,342
A part of the human brain that
allows human beings to connect
444
00:26:45,386 --> 00:26:47,649
directly to something beyond themselves?
445
00:26:50,565 --> 00:26:53,394
Even beyond this planet.
446
00:26:53,437 --> 00:26:55,918
Throughout history the third eye
447
00:26:55,962 --> 00:27:00,009
has also been attributed
for allowing you to travel
448
00:27:00,053 --> 00:27:04,013
to different dimensions, or
astral traveling, and all
449
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:05,711
those different things.
450
00:27:05,754 --> 00:27:11,020
So now my question is, how
did these stories begin?
451
00:27:11,064 --> 00:27:13,632
Is it possible to astral travel?
452
00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:19,638
Is it possible to go places
with your mind alone?
453
00:27:19,681 --> 00:27:21,248
The concept of the third eye
454
00:27:21,291 --> 00:27:24,207
is supposedly our doorway
to connecting with
455
00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:26,296
not only our higher
selves, but other higher
456
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:31,737
spirits and possibly even
to otherworldly entities.
457
00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:33,216
Like extraterrestrial entities.
458
00:27:39,048 --> 00:27:43,313
The pineal gland acts as
a hyper-dimensional gateway.
459
00:27:43,357 --> 00:27:46,882
It is a functioning
stargate within your brain.
460
00:27:46,926 --> 00:27:50,320
The pineal gland appears to
create some type of bridge
461
00:27:50,364 --> 00:27:52,714
or wormhole inside your head.
462
00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:54,934
Extraterrestrials may
already understand this.
463
00:27:54,977 --> 00:27:57,066
It's a basic aspect of human physiology.
464
00:27:57,110 --> 00:28:00,722
We have a stargate built in.
465
00:28:00,766 --> 00:28:03,551
And you have to
wonder then if we were created
466
00:28:03,594 --> 00:28:05,684
possibly by extraterrestrials.
467
00:28:05,727 --> 00:28:08,730
And they know that we
have this third eye.
468
00:28:08,774 --> 00:28:15,737
That part of their mission is
to influence us and cultivate us
469
00:28:15,781 --> 00:28:20,437
to the point where we are
able to utilize this third eye
470
00:28:20,481 --> 00:28:22,962
that we've been given.
471
00:28:23,005 --> 00:28:25,747
Could an actual part of the human brain
472
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:29,229
really help to explain
why mankind functions so
473
00:28:29,272 --> 00:28:32,754
differently from other
lifeforms on our planet?
474
00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:35,191
Could this tiny gland offer a key
475
00:28:35,235 --> 00:28:43,460
to understanding why human
beings create art, music,
476
00:28:43,504 --> 00:28:46,376
and literature?
477
00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:49,728
Why we bury our dead?
478
00:28:49,771 --> 00:28:52,818
And devote time to
contemplating our own existence.
479
00:28:56,038 --> 00:28:59,389
Perhaps the answers can
be found in the stories
480
00:28:59,433 --> 00:29:03,306
of divine figures appearing
across the ancient world,
481
00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:05,744
in powerful groups of three.
482
00:29:15,666 --> 00:29:19,366
Henan province, Central China.
483
00:29:19,409 --> 00:29:22,630
Here, along the shores of the Yi River,
484
00:29:22,673 --> 00:29:27,374
a 1,352 ancient caves known
as the Longmen Grottoes.
485
00:29:30,681 --> 00:29:35,730
Dating back to for 493 AD, they
contain the most spectacular
486
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:37,863
collection of Buddhist
cave art in the world.
487
00:29:40,517 --> 00:29:43,564
One of the largest of the
over 100,000 stone statues
488
00:29:43,607 --> 00:29:47,611
at the site is at the
Amitabha Buddha, or the Buddha
489
00:29:47,655 --> 00:29:50,919
of infinite light.
490
00:29:50,963 --> 00:29:54,314
He is flanked on either
side by his two assistants
491
00:29:54,357 --> 00:29:57,534
and collectively they are
known as the Three Saints
492
00:29:57,578 --> 00:30:00,102
of the West.
493
00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:03,018
For some reason, the sacred mysteries
494
00:30:03,062 --> 00:30:07,196
are often presented as threefold.
495
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,764
In Mahayana Buddhism, the three guides
496
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,071
are Amitabha the Buddha of infinite light
497
00:30:12,114 --> 00:30:15,552
and his two companions, one
representing wisdom and one
498
00:30:15,596 --> 00:30:17,250
compassion.
499
00:30:17,293 --> 00:30:20,514
It is significant that
throughout the ancient world
500
00:30:20,557 --> 00:30:25,649
gods and leaders would
often appear in threesomes.
501
00:30:25,693 --> 00:30:28,478
For some reason, the triad shows up
502
00:30:28,522 --> 00:30:31,003
as a divine powerful principle.
503
00:30:31,046 --> 00:30:35,964
Something about three is telling
us some important information
504
00:30:36,008 --> 00:30:37,183
about wholeness.
505
00:30:40,099 --> 00:30:48,847
Triads, trios,
trinities, why have cultures
506
00:30:48,890 --> 00:30:52,067
all over the world envision
their divine leaders
507
00:30:52,111 --> 00:30:54,896
and mythic heroes in
power structures of three?
508
00:30:57,594 --> 00:31:00,554
Perhaps an answer can
be found by examining
509
00:31:00,597 --> 00:31:04,558
the stories of the three
Saints and the celestial realm
510
00:31:04,601 --> 00:31:10,172
of the Amitabha Buddha known
as the Western Pure Land.
511
00:31:10,216 --> 00:31:12,174
In a former life Amitabha Buddha
512
00:31:12,218 --> 00:31:15,699
was believed to have been a
king, who renounced his kingdom
513
00:31:15,743 --> 00:31:18,354
through a series of vows.
514
00:31:18,398 --> 00:31:24,404
And these vows were vows to
create a pure Buddha land.
515
00:31:24,447 --> 00:31:28,016
The Western Pure Land was
thought to be actually real.
516
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:31,933
And to exist outside of
the normal confines of time
517
00:31:31,977 --> 00:31:34,240
and space.
518
00:31:34,283 --> 00:31:37,417
Amitabha Buddha will
come to your deathbed
519
00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:41,638
and personally escort you
to this Western paradise.
520
00:31:41,682 --> 00:31:46,905
The Buddha Amitabha have two
assistants, two Bodhisattvas.
521
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:49,951
The idea is that if you see three
522
00:31:49,995 --> 00:31:55,087
it gives you a feeling that
there's plenty of help coming.
523
00:31:55,130 --> 00:31:56,784
The last moments of life
524
00:31:56,827 --> 00:31:59,700
are very important in
this form of Buddhism.
525
00:31:59,743 --> 00:32:04,574
These guiding figures are prime
examples of the power of three
526
00:32:04,618 --> 00:32:08,535
manifesting a sacred teaching,
helping one to a greater
527
00:32:08,578 --> 00:32:09,971
level of consciousness.
528
00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:15,672
Is the Western Pure Land really
529
00:32:15,716 --> 00:32:20,851
a state of enlightenment as
mainstream scholars believe?
530
00:32:20,895 --> 00:32:23,419
Or might these three saints be guiding
531
00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:26,945
the deceased to a divine, perhaps even
532
00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:29,599
extraterrestrial realm?
533
00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:31,775
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
534
00:32:31,819 --> 00:32:34,735
the answers can be found
in the descriptions
535
00:32:34,778 --> 00:32:36,476
of this spiritual paradise.
536
00:32:38,782 --> 00:32:40,306
The Amitabha Buddha
537
00:32:40,349 --> 00:32:44,223
believed that this was a
literal place peopled with gods
538
00:32:44,266 --> 00:32:49,271
and goddesses that would give
you knowledge and information.
539
00:32:49,315 --> 00:32:52,883
And in this place, every
one appears to be golden
540
00:32:52,927 --> 00:32:55,451
and you have the ability to see anything
541
00:32:55,495 --> 00:32:58,628
in the universe, the ability
to travel anywhere on Earth
542
00:32:58,672 --> 00:33:00,239
that you want.
543
00:33:00,282 --> 00:33:03,720
Is this really just a myth,
or is the Amitabha Buddha
544
00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:05,374
an example of an extraterrestrial
545
00:33:05,418 --> 00:33:09,074
who visited earth and was
able to achieve some higher
546
00:33:09,117 --> 00:33:11,380
grade of evolution while he was here,
547
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:13,600
and then help others
achieve that as well.
548
00:33:16,385 --> 00:33:18,779
Might the Amitabha Buddha actually have
549
00:33:18,822 --> 00:33:21,477
been an otherworldly visitor.
550
00:33:21,521 --> 00:33:25,916
And if so, might the three
saints of Pure Land Buddhism
551
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,050
not just guide the dead to an afterlife.
552
00:33:29,094 --> 00:33:33,054
But physically change them
into higher functioning beings,
553
00:33:33,098 --> 00:33:37,972
beings with extraterrestrial
capabilities.
554
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:41,323
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
555
00:33:41,367 --> 00:33:44,544
And believe further proof
can be found in the story
556
00:33:44,587 --> 00:33:47,416
of another mythic trio.
557
00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:50,419
One that undertook an epic journey,
558
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:55,076
not to a divine land after
death but towards a divine life
559
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,817
here on planet Earth.
560
00:34:05,173 --> 00:34:11,092
Cologne Germany, for centuries
a steady stream of visitors
561
00:34:11,136 --> 00:34:13,964
have gathered inside
this Gothic cathedral
562
00:34:14,008 --> 00:34:17,272
to view a golden sarcophagus
thought to contain
563
00:34:17,316 --> 00:34:22,190
the bones of the biblical
magi, also known as the three
564
00:34:22,234 --> 00:34:24,627
wise men.
565
00:34:24,671 --> 00:34:27,108
While the journey of the three wise men
566
00:34:27,152 --> 00:34:30,590
is one of the most popular
and best known of the stories,
567
00:34:30,633 --> 00:34:33,288
concerning the birth of Jesus Christ,
568
00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:36,422
little is actually known about
these mysterious figures.
569
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:40,817
According to the gospels,
570
00:34:40,861 --> 00:34:46,084
the three kings or the three
wise men came from the east.
571
00:34:46,127 --> 00:34:48,434
At the time that the
gospels were being written
572
00:34:48,477 --> 00:34:52,177
that was an area of the world
which for Westerners was
573
00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:58,270
considered to be the source
of all magic and mysticism.
574
00:34:58,313 --> 00:35:00,881
Magi were the ancient priesthood
575
00:35:00,924 --> 00:35:04,537
of Persia or Iran as
we tend to call it now.
576
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:10,456
And they go way back to 3,000
BC probably or even more.
577
00:35:10,499 --> 00:35:13,546
The Magi were particularly
interested in the stars.
578
00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:16,549
They were looking at
the different influences
579
00:35:16,592 --> 00:35:20,770
that these different stars and
planets had at given times.
580
00:35:20,814 --> 00:35:23,208
And that was part and
parcel of their tradition.
581
00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:29,649
The three wise
men traveled thousands of miles
582
00:35:29,692 --> 00:35:31,303
to what we call the Holy land.
583
00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:34,349
And then they found Bethlehem
apparently without a map.
584
00:35:34,393 --> 00:35:37,309
They were astronomers, it
says they followed a star.
585
00:35:40,399 --> 00:35:44,011
But did the three
wise men actually exist?
586
00:35:44,054 --> 00:35:45,839
Or did the story of their journey to
587
00:35:45,882 --> 00:35:51,366
visit the infant Jesus have
other even more otherworldly
588
00:35:51,410 --> 00:35:53,455
origins?
589
00:35:53,499 --> 00:35:55,892
The star we are told leads them,
590
00:35:55,936 --> 00:35:58,460
so the star is moving and it's flying
591
00:35:58,504 --> 00:36:01,507
and it's intelligently guided
because it's leading them
592
00:36:01,550 --> 00:36:03,161
to a destination.
593
00:36:03,204 --> 00:36:07,730
And it hovers over the
manger where Jesus is laid.
594
00:36:07,774 --> 00:36:11,212
It shines a light down to
illuminate the manger where
595
00:36:11,256 --> 00:36:12,996
Jesus is laid.
596
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,130
So you have to wonder
whether possibly the three magi
597
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:21,440
themselves were
extraterrestrial gods or perhaps
598
00:36:21,483 --> 00:36:25,618
the star of Bethlehem
itself was some kind
599
00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:29,187
of extraterrestrial spaceship
that was guiding the three
600
00:36:29,230 --> 00:36:29,883
magi.
601
00:36:35,149 --> 00:36:38,283
Were the three wise
men astral travelers guided
602
00:36:38,326 --> 00:36:43,418
by otherworldly technology, or
is their presence in the story
603
00:36:43,462 --> 00:36:47,770
of Jesus really some sort of
code, one intended to connect
604
00:36:47,814 --> 00:36:51,209
Jesus with other mythic
stories and religions
605
00:36:51,252 --> 00:36:56,126
in which the number three
has profound significance?
606
00:36:56,170 --> 00:36:59,260
There are those who believe
that an answer can be found
607
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:02,263
by examining the three
gifts that each of the Magi
608
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:06,267
reportedly brought to the Son of God.
609
00:37:06,311 --> 00:37:10,924
Gold, representing the physical
and material needs of the child
610
00:37:10,967 --> 00:37:13,883
during his lifetime.
611
00:37:13,927 --> 00:37:17,539
Frankincense, an ancient aromatic resin,
612
00:37:17,583 --> 00:37:21,413
which when burned is thought to
be effective in mind expansion
613
00:37:21,456 --> 00:37:25,243
and enlightenment.
614
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:29,029
And myrrh, an oil often
associated with death
615
00:37:29,072 --> 00:37:32,032
and embalming representing the afterlife.
616
00:37:34,861 --> 00:37:40,083
But why three gifts and
why only those three?
617
00:37:40,127 --> 00:37:42,869
Perhaps the answers can be found written
618
00:37:42,912 --> 00:37:46,829
into the ancient biological
language that is as old as life
619
00:37:46,873 --> 00:37:48,178
itself.
620
00:37:48,222 --> 00:37:50,964
A language containing a code of threes.
621
00:37:58,406 --> 00:38:01,017
There is a theory that
the key to unlocking
622
00:38:01,061 --> 00:38:04,412
the power of the number
three lies in the mystery
623
00:38:04,456 --> 00:38:06,109
of the holy trinity.
624
00:38:06,153 --> 00:38:10,200
That the notion of three
divine persons in one god
625
00:38:10,244 --> 00:38:14,596
refers to the three states of being.
626
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,384
God the father, the
intellectual or ethical self.
627
00:38:19,427 --> 00:38:24,867
God the son, the physical
and actual self and God
628
00:38:24,911 --> 00:38:30,699
the Holy Spirit the emotional
or aspirational self.
629
00:38:30,743 --> 00:38:33,833
Past, present, and future.
630
00:38:33,876 --> 00:38:35,835
God and man as one.
631
00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:44,104
Qasr El Yahud, Israel.
632
00:38:44,147 --> 00:38:47,107
Here, tens of thousands of Christians
633
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:48,630
make their way to what is believed
634
00:38:48,674 --> 00:38:51,633
to be the site of Christ
baptism in the river Jordan.
635
00:38:56,551 --> 00:38:59,728
It was also here that
according to scripture,
636
00:38:59,772 --> 00:39:02,383
God revealed himself as being made up
637
00:39:02,427 --> 00:39:05,386
of three divine persons.
638
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:11,784
God the father, God the son
and God the Holy Spirit.
639
00:39:11,827 --> 00:39:15,396
Otherwise known as the Holy trinity.
640
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,833
In the story of Jesus' baptism,
641
00:39:17,877 --> 00:39:20,488
Jesus is standing in the Jordan River
642
00:39:20,532 --> 00:39:23,883
and we're told that the heavens open up.
643
00:39:23,926 --> 00:39:29,323
And the Holy Spirit in the form
of a dove descends upon Jesus.
644
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:34,459
And the voice of God booms
out of heaven and says,
645
00:39:34,502 --> 00:39:40,203
this is my son whom I love
and in whom I am well pleased.
646
00:39:40,247 --> 00:39:44,033
So in that scene all
three parts of the Trinity
647
00:39:44,077 --> 00:39:47,689
are represented there...
Father, son and Holy Spirit.
648
00:39:50,431 --> 00:39:52,694
What makes it a mathematical conundrum
649
00:39:52,738 --> 00:39:54,392
is how can you be one in three?
650
00:39:57,133 --> 00:39:59,832
So it is a mystery.
651
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:02,095
And some people don't even
question it because it
652
00:40:02,138 --> 00:40:04,271
is a matter of faith.
653
00:40:04,314 --> 00:40:08,057
And so, maybe in that image,
we could make the argument
654
00:40:08,101 --> 00:40:11,539
that there is a trinity within
each and every one of us.
655
00:40:16,631 --> 00:40:18,720
Could the trium nature of God,
656
00:40:18,764 --> 00:40:21,331
as described in the New Testament
657
00:40:21,375 --> 00:40:25,858
also exist in all of mankind?
658
00:40:25,901 --> 00:40:30,210
And if so, does this suggest
that the power of three
659
00:40:30,253 --> 00:40:33,343
might somehow connect
humanity with divine,
660
00:40:33,387 --> 00:40:38,479
or as some would believe
extra terrestrial forces?
661
00:40:38,523 --> 00:40:40,525
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
662
00:40:40,568 --> 00:40:44,311
the answers can be found
not only in the Bible
663
00:40:44,354 --> 00:40:50,665
but encoded within the genetic
blueprint of the human body.
664
00:40:55,061 --> 00:41:00,109
Huntington New York, 1966.
665
00:41:00,153 --> 00:41:02,851
Scientists announced one of
the greatest breakthroughs
666
00:41:02,895 --> 00:41:04,592
of modern science.
667
00:41:04,636 --> 00:41:09,815
They have successfully
deciphered the genetic code.
668
00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:12,861
After years of research, they discover
669
00:41:12,905 --> 00:41:15,385
that the universal structure of DNA
670
00:41:15,429 --> 00:41:19,912
consists of a series of three
molecule combinations known
671
00:41:19,955 --> 00:41:22,784
as codons or triplets.
672
00:41:22,828 --> 00:41:26,875
You had this DNA sequence
and it codes for ultimately
673
00:41:26,919 --> 00:41:28,616
the proteins in your body.
674
00:41:28,660 --> 00:41:31,097
And the question was, how
does it code for that?
675
00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:34,056
Does each individual base
pair represent something?
676
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:36,668
Is it two at a time that
represents something?
677
00:41:36,711 --> 00:41:38,365
Is it a sequence of 10?
678
00:41:38,408 --> 00:41:40,976
And it turns out that is very
clear it comes in clusters
679
00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:42,761
of three.
680
00:41:42,804 --> 00:41:50,246
Essentially the number three
is the key to our DNA language.
681
00:41:50,290 --> 00:41:52,684
And this was revolutionary for its time
682
00:41:52,727 --> 00:41:56,296
because the ancient alien
theory has always suggested
683
00:41:56,339 --> 00:42:00,474
that the ultimate proof of
extraterrestrial tampering
684
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:05,174
in our past will not come in
the form of a crashed spaceship
685
00:42:05,218 --> 00:42:09,875
or some type of tools,
but the actual proof will
686
00:42:09,918 --> 00:42:14,488
come from within our own DNA.
687
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:18,318
This may in fact be a
universal manifestation
688
00:42:18,361 --> 00:42:20,015
of the power of three.
689
00:42:20,059 --> 00:42:22,452
In time, I believe, we will find out
690
00:42:22,496 --> 00:42:25,455
that DNA is written into the
background of the universe
691
00:42:25,499 --> 00:42:26,979
itself.
692
00:42:27,022 --> 00:42:29,285
It is assembled by the basic
laws of quantum physics.
693
00:42:29,329 --> 00:42:31,592
And the underlying power of three
694
00:42:31,636 --> 00:42:34,334
is an essential tool in seeing the hand
695
00:42:34,377 --> 00:42:37,903
of the divine architect at work
and making us who we are today.
696
00:42:41,907 --> 00:42:44,170
The number three is the key to unlocking
697
00:42:44,213 --> 00:42:45,780
the ancient mysteries.
698
00:42:45,824 --> 00:42:48,957
We see threes everywhere,
and it's a possible pointer
699
00:42:49,001 --> 00:42:50,785
to the idea that the three is the guiding
700
00:42:50,829 --> 00:42:53,527
principle of the universe and
manifests even in our DNA.
701
00:42:56,356 --> 00:43:01,187
So we can see
here how this power of three
702
00:43:01,230 --> 00:43:05,104
is pervasive all through the universe,
703
00:43:05,147 --> 00:43:09,761
including in our own DNA.
704
00:43:09,804 --> 00:43:13,373
And is it possible that its
extraterrestrials who've
705
00:43:13,416 --> 00:43:16,637
encoded this within us?
706
00:43:16,681 --> 00:43:20,641
And that once we understand,
this power of three,
707
00:43:20,685 --> 00:43:27,343
we ourselves will become
like our creators the gods.
708
00:43:27,387 --> 00:43:30,477
Does the physical
expression of a power of three
709
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,089
found within our own DNA really prove
710
00:43:34,133 --> 00:43:36,570
an extraterrestrial design for mankind?
711
00:43:39,704 --> 00:43:42,881
A design whose meaning we
are only just beginning
712
00:43:42,924 --> 00:43:45,492
to comprehend.
713
00:43:45,535 --> 00:43:49,278
Or could the answer lie in a
combination of all the trios
714
00:43:49,322 --> 00:43:52,281
and trinities embedded
throughout the mythical and
715
00:43:52,325 --> 00:43:54,893
religious world?
716
00:43:54,936 --> 00:43:57,243
Perhaps the answer will lead us back
717
00:43:57,286 --> 00:44:00,638
to mankind's place of origin.
718
00:44:00,681 --> 00:44:05,817
And the ultimate proof that
our origins lie not on Earth
719
00:44:05,860 --> 00:44:07,470
but out of this world.
