Presentation 8

We come to the eighth presentation and these are presentations and not lectures. They're not meant for instruction, though they can be. They're not designed for entertainment, but they are presentational so that one can continue a meditation. Presence is a resonance of the divine, and the ancient wisdom in all traditions was always that one comes into the presence of the divine, and forms were made with openings so that the divine could enter those forms and be invited to be welcome there, and that all who are participating in those forms were able to share the presence. Presence was not a moment. It was not conditioned by time. It was not in the dimensions of space. It was a higher dimension that could infuse space and be there in a continuity of time. And so one would call it a sacred space. One would call it an eternal time. We're looking at some of the peculiarities of our own time of the early 21st century, and that the most poignant flashpoint on the planet over the next five to 6 or 7 years is the conflict between Israel and Iran. That Iran is moving towards nuclear weapons, that Israel has nuclear weapons, that Iran has developed, missiles that can go now 1200 miles, that Israel has capacities to send planes or missiles with nuclear capacity into Iran. And so by the summer of 2009, the biggest flashpoint is Israel and Iran. And one of the reasons for stressing in this presentation sequence the peculiarities of the tuning of reality is that the sage of ancient Iran, Zarathustra and the first Jew, Abraham, were contemporaries about 2000 BC 2000, before the contemporary era 4000 years ago. They came from disparate ancient wisdom flows. At that time, Zarathustra came from Central Asia, whose wisdom flows were the long caravan routes across Central Asia from the Caspian Sea all the way to China. Abraham came from Ur in Mesopotamia originally, and was a participant in the great flow of wisdom traditions that went from Ireland to India, and the meeting of those two traditions together did not happen until 1500 years after Zarathustra, 1500 years after Abraham. And the meeting came because the Jewish exile ended by a Persian king, Cyrus the Great, who was reviving Zarathustra as Zoroaster ended the exile and let the Jews go home to Jerusalem, to their holy land. And so, 2500 years ago, Israel and Iran were the tunes, the tines of the tuning of high wisdom and one of the outcomes of this was that the meeting of Cyrus the Great's revival and Renaissance of Zarathustra, and the revival of the Abraham tradition through Moses and through the prophets, to the development of Ezekiel in the exile, so that in a way the Renaissance Zoroaster and the visionary Ezekiel were contemporaries, and their contemporariness was mitigated by the archetypal sage of the Greek Egyptian world, Pythagoras. So that you had at one time, about 500 BC, in the same place you had Ezekiel, Pythagoras, and the archetypal revival of Zarathustra. This made a tremendous impact and sent vibrations, sent a harmonic through the world at that time, and we're taking a look at it. My translation of the Ancient Goths of Zarathustra. They were written when he was about 75 years old. It would have been about 1920 1925 BC, so that the Goths of Zarathustra are contemporary with the prize son of Abraham Isaac. As soon as he had Isaac, it began the patriarchal tradition. It began to transform what had been, as we read in Genesis, an illustrious series of covenants now were honed to a lineage They revival of Zarathustra made Zoroaster the beginning of a remembrance of ancient wisdoms that now were in a lineage that would be continuous through the rest of history, right up until our own day. The lineage from Zarathustra is called in Planetary Wisdom. History. The Hermetic tradition. And when one looks at the Hermetic tradition, the first person mentioned is Zoroaster, the second is Hermes, and then you have the lineage from then on. Let's go to my translation for just a few quotations. Zarathushtra wrote a magnificent mandala collection of songs in his language, which was a veston. Very much an Indo-Iranian language. Not like Persian, not like Arabic, not like Farsi. Very much like English. And so in Avestan he wrote a series of 16 collections of hymns of Guthis. The first seven were a set of seven. Like the seven celestial bodies, the five planets, the sun and the moon, The next set was of four. The third set was of four, and the final set was a single Gaza. So that what you have is a form of 16 divided 7441, so that the middle is A44 balance making eight, and the seven plus one as a coda. Make an outer eight. This is from the 32nd. They begin with 28, so 28, 29, 30, 31, 32. This is the fifth of the first seven. And this is the ninth poem. And by poem by Gatha, we have to understand something about structure. The first seven gases have six lines, no more. And they're divided into three thirds of couplets. So there'll be two lines. Two lines, two lines. They're like a trigram. And those pairs of lines give us a way of focusing and then penetrating, focusing and then penetrating so that you get a poetic which allows for the form of the language to be structured in such a way that it tunes us to hearing, not just to hearing what is being said or even hearing what could be said, but tuning hearing to a sense of presence. The first for in that second set have only five lines. The next four have only four lines, and the final gatha has only three lines, but the final Gotha has 22 sections of three lines. The first Gotha, has 11 sections of six lines, so that if you pair the final Gotha, if you fold it in half, you will again have a harmonic with the first Gotha and the first seven gothas, and it will become the eighth. Zarathustra was extremely interested in becoming more than what he had been. He was born into a nomadic society that was like early American West rancher society. They had herds of animals and they would drive them sometimes long distances, not only for grazing and pastures, but for market. And so they were the first people on the planet to tame the horse. And in taming the horse, they learned that if you pair horses together and you pair wheels together, you can have a chariot, whereas you had four wheels that made a cart that could carry things. A pair of wheels with a pair of horses increased the speed to the speed of a horse. And so with the chariot they became capable of being fearless warriors. They were almost never defeated in war, like the later Mongols under Genghis Khan, almost never defeated in war, and they were able to extend their caravan routes to go five, six, 7000 miles across Central Asia all the way into China. And we know because in China, the first dynasty is characteristic and different from all of the kings and kingdoms going back into dem prehistory. The first dynasty in China is when you find chariots in China for the very first time. This is from the ninth section of the 32nd. The fifth Gatha. One of the words in here is translated is not translated. It's the Avestan word harad k h e r a d harad is the truthful power of recognition. Zarathustra. A deceitful teacher's words distort when our life not taught. Herod. Indeed our heritage is blunted away from precious, truthful vohuman. Good mind by these very words in my spirit. Mazda through Asia will appeal to you. Mazda is the radiance of presence. Asia is the feminine of ordering so that the conditions of life are optimum to continue the next section of this Gatha. In those indeed whose teaching distorts when it gets worse. Hasten to declare, Earth and sun are in our eyes. Such deceit offers a wicked gift. Such a pasture destroys nourishment to raise as truth the weapon held against it. So that there is a pretzel to the distortion, and the pretzel, when it is cinched by false conviction, becomes a knot. The next section. This indeed pollutes our lives, their deceit as grandness appears. Oh, such lords and ladies, all hindering inheritances, deliverance. Yet for those most truthful, Mazda transforms their mind so that the radiance of presence is a quality which we have come to understand and appreciate as a part of our heritage over the past 4000 years. It is usually expressed in terms of light because the energy of light, as we know now, even scientifically, the photon is the carrier of the electromagnetic spectrum. The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is pivoted, is balanced near its center on a very almost a point like equilibrium. The spectrum comes down to a very small wedge, and it's called visible light. And that visible light is able to emerge in such a way that there's a peculiarity about it. About 30, 40 years ago, one of the great, uh, physicists and mathematicians, and they did a series called The Ascent of Man, 13 part series. And in one of the series episodes, he showed an array of instruments that could record the entire electromagnetic spectrum from the infrared to the ultraviolet. And then a man was placed in front of this array of equipment spectrum. What does this guy look like? Infrared. Ultraviolet on down until the only place that you could see a personality in the face and recognize the person was in visible light. So even though it's a small aperture, it is the refined aperture of who to appreciate this man, to appreciate this human being, to see the personality. And so light becomes a very interesting quality. And we need to remind ourselves here about contemporary astrophysics. The beginnings of everything was, in fact, not only a big bang, but was an undifferentiated plasma, very, very high energy plasma that poured in to the quality of time, which was about the only dimension at that time for about 300,000 years. And the plasma of particles began to assemble themselves in polarities, in symmetries, in pairs that could pair and could pair. And so one eventually came to have the structure of atoms and the structure of molecular arrangements. And about 300,000 years later. That plasma burst into light because it had expanded its integral oneness wholeness to the extent that stars had formed and the stars with their solar winds, had pushed back the plasma enough to make space of visibility. And over the next several million years, the universe cleared so that there were space in between the stars, and that the stars then repeated that pattern that impress so that at the core of their oneness, interactions began building and percolating through the body of the star, coming out to the surface and radiating out as stellar winds as star light, as something which, as one contemporary astrophysics physicist put it, if someone were to take our sun and be able to, in a magical miracle, switch it off, it would take 10 million years before you would notice it at the surface of the sun. Because light is always ancient light. Light is not of a moment, but is the percolation of energetic resonances that are coherent because they occur within a presence. And so the sun is not just a god, mythologically. The star is not just a symbol of divinity. It is an actuality which we not only experience on a mythic horizon, but that we can learn on a historical kaleidoscopic horizon of how to participate with it. That participation is a science is what science is, and the origins of science are not in the mind, but they're in a fifth dimension of vision, which is like a fifth dimension to space time. It is a differential consciousness, and the Greek word for it, for that field is theoria. From where we get theory, theoria in Greek means contemplation. It means not to think about, but to open oneself to the presence of the field of consciousness, which is not integral but is differential. It complements the integral of the natural cycle. And so this complementarity now introduces something for the first time, where the limits of polarity that energy had to have in order to synch its individuality. Now has the ability of possibilities that were not there before. Has an extended range. Has a spectrum. Now that is not only the electromagnetic spectrum, but is the complementarity to it, which is the magnetoelectric spectrum. And it is this complementarity of two different spectrums in the electromagnetic. The electric is the largest component in magnetism for all of its effects is still very small, whereas on the other you have something that has a very large magnetic quotient and a smaller diminished electrical quotient. Dark matter and dark energy belong to the Magnetoelectric spectrum, and it is there that presence is amplified about 10 to 20 billion times what it is in our four dimensional conception of the universe. That larger expansion where the presence of the divine is billions of times more intense. We call heaven, is actually a shared presence, not of the universe so much, but of the cosmos. That was the name that Pythagoras gave to it is the cosmos. The quality of the cosmos is that that higher energy loves to come in to not only teach and allow for us to learn and to inquire, but also blesses us as our church's word. For this very often is bestowing, giving but giving in a sense of giving to you, giving this freely to you. And in that bestowing, there's a quality that we find again in China. About 500 years BC, at the time of Zarathustra's revival, as Zoroaster and Ezekiel and Pythagoras in China, it was lots and lots of was a contemporary of them and is deeply related to Zarathustra because China, dynastic China had by that time had over 1500 years of experience with the Central Asian Avestan people. Um Pythagorus uh was appreciative of this because the Persian Empire, founded by Cyrus the Great, not only took over all of Mesopotamia and what is today Iran, but also what is today Pakistan, all the way into the Indus River areas of India. And eventually his son Cambyses took over Egypt as well. And for 200 years, everything from Egypt to India was under the Achaemenid dynasty, and so Zarathushtra was the major synthesizing religious understanding of that whole swath of the world for 200 years, replaced by Alexander the Great, who then brought a another quality into play, that of the Greek tradition. And so you had not a Rome was not a very important place at that time yet, but you had a greco-egyptian with a Persian Central Asian quality to it. And the focus of it was to make the city of Alexandria and Alexandria, like San Francisco, was never a village. It was made to be a cosmopolitan area, a city not of a city, of tribes or confluences of tribes, but a cosmos city of all people. The name for this was the ecumenical. That every human being occupied a vibrational energy that needed to be included in order to have a cosmic city. In China, the cosmic city was Chang'an. Today it's called Xi'an on the Wei River in western China. In Chang'an there was a great library, just like there was a great library in Alexandria. The librarian for that Chinese Alexandria, was Lao-tzu, and he was called at that time Li er, which meant that he had long ears, that he had heard it all. And his last name, Lee, usually spelled l I if pronounced in a special way, means um ritual, like the Li Ching is the book of rituals, but one can understand that his name originally meant one who has heard all about it, how everyone does it differently. And yet there's not just a common denominator. There is a context that exceeds the denominator and the numerator. So it's not just a ratio, but it is a presence of being able to understand new ratios. I used to call them years ago. Ratios of the real. The wisdom in ancient China was that if you had like a tic tac toe game symbol, you would have eight families living together around a center. Well, so that the center of the tic tac toe structure was the well. The ninth was the source of nourishment and life, not only for the eight families, but all their animals, all their farms that radiated out from this. And so you had this understanding that the eights have a pivotal source in a ninth, and that all of that together, then, is a ten, is a quality of two hands brought together in a focus. And that those two hands brought together have quintessential thumbs. And that because those thumbs are not just of themselves, but of a repeat of themselves in the whole. The Chinese developed a structure where ten and 12 were related together. The ten earthly stems have 12 heavenly expansions. And so when it came time to bring Lords into a new expression of application into a scientific application, as we would say today, and that happened about 150 years later, the great genius of that was named sun. Yeon. Ji su. Su yeon. He developed the Yin yang chia, the school of yin yang, showing that the polarities of. Yin yang are polarities within the context of an integral of Tae, but that Tae itself was in a symmetrical pairing with Tao. That was not in yin yang, but was a presence that permeated the Tay of both yin yang. So that yin yang in balance will make it will make the power of oneness, of unification. But the guarantor that that will be real is the Dao, which is a zero. So that the one has a tuning of one over two plus one over two, one half and one half together will make the unity. The yin and the yang together will be a unity, but it will only be real because it is guaranteed by higher dimensions of presence of the Dao, and that this has proved because the energy cycle of the Tae will increase itself so that it goes through a five phase energy cycle, starting with the sum of the Dao, the zero going to the Tae, going to the Jen, the human heartedness of the person going to the e, going to the symbols, that one is able to put it all together and then going to the key or the key, the energy that is that cycles actuality and that that key that she will come back into the Tao and in that flow, as long as it's not interrupted, life will not only occur in balance, but it will be real. The Chinese character that reads as ki or ki, that energy is the character of a steaming rice, so that at each meal that you would hold your bowl of rice and your first breath, that's the remembrance of of the ki. That's the remembrance that this nourishment will go back into the Tao, and that the entire cycle will bring that rice to you again. We mentioned before the Japanese character for rice has a radical in that meaning 88, meaning that this rice has come through 88 different hands to get to you, so that the high drama of central to far Eastern Asia is one. That one is in an ecology, an ecology of attentiveness of many different people who do not know, who have not met each other, but in that ecology they permit the cycle of nature to be fruitful. When it comes to the way that Lao-tzu expressed himself. He. And the. 44th section of the Tao Te Ching. This again. This is my translation. It's called setting up precedents. Name or person. Which is more near person or treasure? Which is more resonance or abstinence, which is painful, extreme fondness, forced is great waste. Excessive hoarding forces, intense absence. Knowing consonance. Nothing despises knowing self. Nothing endangered enabled thereby to last to be continuing. And so you get the high Dharma from Zarathustra to Lao Tzu of that Asian, that central far East Asian wisdom. When Zarathustra. Was about seven, he was put into the schools to become a teacher, to become a priest, and by the time he was 15, he had learned what the traditions were, what the rituals were, what the sayings were, what the language was. And a couple of years later, probably about 18, he got married and he had three sons and a daughter, a father, a son, and three daughters by that first marriage. But when he was about 30, he had an extraordinary experience. One of the requirements for the ritual was to go down into the river. This was the Amu Darya river in what is now Uzbekistan, and he was getting the water. And as he did before he got out of the stream, he saw a spiritual presence as a person on the bank of the river. And, uh, his inner sense of presence honed to seeing that this was a Ahura Mazda who had come to him to bestow the friendship of his presence with him. It changed radically Zarathushtra's life. He broke up with that first wife. He went wandering, and his wanderings took him for the next ten years, even as far as China. And when he came back at age 40, he married again and had a couple of sons by the second wife and tried to teach. It was not effective. No one would hear. No one showed up. No one would hear him. So that marriage broke up. And at age 42, he went south from where Uzbekistan is is. And today we call the area that he went to Afghanistan. He went to Kabul, to ancient Kabul. It's 4000 years ago. And in Kabul, he found a resonance with the family, whose daughter became his third wife. Her name was Hazarvi. Harvey and her brother Djamasp. Actually ended up marrying the youngest daughter of Zarathustra several years later. But the father was a masterful person at Frosta at Presencing, and Zarathustra Zarathushtra learned that he and his wife could tune in a special way. He and her father could tune in a special way he and her brother could tune. And so the king of ancient Kabul of Afghanistan became an adherent. And that's how ancient Zoroastrianism began to take hold. And the exact same place that the United States is now involved. And as we began today, talking about the peculiarity of Israel and Iran being at sword's points, nuclear missile points, the United States and Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan are at the same time at the same impasse. And so what we are talking about is not ancient history. It's not something in the past. It is the most perfect harmonic that needs to be brought re-expressed at this particular time in this planet, in this star system, among star systems more than the sands of the Ganges, because there's a great amphitheater in the cosmos watching. If we can do it. Let's take a break. Let's come back and let's tone ourselves using Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching just to bring ourselves back. This is the 10th section of the Tao Te Ching. And just be apprised that originally there were no sections. The original Tao Te Ching was a cascade of language 5500 characters without any punctuation. If you could not discern the resonances and establish the harmonics, then it as a cascade was a blur. To be able to have ears to hear. One had to be able to portion out, proportion out, so that your sense of hearing was not controlled by a diagrammatic intelligence of symbolic form, but that that symbolic form was plasticized through a differential consciousness to be able to learn how to hear this. This is number ten. Its title can do sustaining discipline. Body embraced. Unity cannot disintegrate. Concentrate. Key Conduces the gentle. An infant's tone washed clear. Profound intuition non faulting. Loving people. Ruling country. Practicing non Non-busy. Heaven's gate open, close like a mother bird. Bright openness. Four corners. Penetrating can be her mystery. Birthing. Presence. Nourishing presence. Birthing yet. Not owning. Doing yet. Not claiming. Raising, yet not ruling. This is called profound to. The indelible. Impress of a presence is that it endures so that one can be able to bring it out. Even within the mythological horizon of experience with the images, with the feeling tones, with the language, and can step up that mythic horizon to the kaleidoscopic, conscious spectrum of history. So that one can then circulate that historical consciousness back into and appreciate even more the mythic, but to appreciate it in an aesthetic way instead of just a traditional way. This is the castle of the Sleeping Beauty. In France. It's on the Loire River. If you get the Dover edition of Perrault's fairy tales, you'll find five engravings about the Castle of the Sleeping Beauty. Of the first one is a plate where there are two. Seekers who see the towers, and the king's son asked what they were. The next one he turned in the direction of the castle and went through the Enchanted Forest. The next one, the figures of men and animals, appeared lifeless because they were all asleep. The third mounting the staircase, he entered the guardroom. They're all asleep. And finally, into the princess's chamber, reclining upon a bed, a princess of radiant beauty was asleep, who was awakened with a kiss. The Loire River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. But if you follow its big arcing source down into central south central France, the Loire, there is only one mountain away from another major French river called the Rhone, that empties into the Mediterranean Sea, where Marseilles is and runs all the way into northern France, Leone, etc. in between the Rhone and the Loire is a short portage. And that short portage is a little city now called Firminy. And that mountain is called Pilots Peak for Pontius Pilate, because the ancient Semitic trade route to the British Isles and Ireland, from Phoenicia and from Palestine, was to go across the Mediterranean to the port of Marseille, up the Rhone River, to the place of a little side stream that went into where Firminy is now, and to make a short portage to waiting boats, and go up the Loire and across a couple of hundred miles of the Atlantic Ocean, to the west of Britain, to the beginnings of the Irish Sea. The Holy Family after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. His four sisters and their four husbands. The youngest sister was named Susanna and her husband was Joseph of Arimathea. Those eight. Those four pairs were joined by Lazarus and his sister Martha, making ten, and by Nicodemus and his wife making 12. There were six women and six men. And they went by that way and established themselves at what today is Glastonbury. Glastonbury was the burial place of all the great spiritual people of that early age, in that part of the world. Saint Patrick was buried there. King Arthur and Guinevere were buried there. Saint Dunstan buried there. Saint Bridget is buried there. It was the most holy place because it was the place that had the direct impress, the direct resonance, the whole harmonic of a crucifixion, resurrection, and the object that embodied it most was the cup from the Last Supper, which became mythologically, symbolically the Holy Grail. That cup was passed from mother to daughter because the first child born out of that ensemble of that holy family, her name was Anna. One of the sisters was Jo Anna, the other was Susanna. And then there was Mary. And the first one, um, who was, uh, the mother of Saint John and Saint James. Um, Anna grew up to be an extraordinary young woman, and she married King Beli Mawr. M a r b e l I'm a w r who was the king of Cornwall? They had a daughter named Penryn, and Penryn married a king who owned the fishing rights of southern Scotland, of northern Wales and of Ireland, and his name was Lear. Lear. He became the fisher king of the tarot deck of the Grail legend. In Scotland, his name is pronounced Lear, but is spelled Lear in Shakespeare. Because he was covering his ground, he spilled it. Lear. King Lear. They had three children. There was a daughter, and there were two sons, and the oldest son was named Bran. And he's known in world history to those who are learned as Bran the Blessed. The mother, Penrhyn was so lovely that when it came time for her to begin thinking about passing the cup of the Last Supper, the Grail, to her daughter, her daughter married someone in Ireland who mistreated her, and then Penrhyn herself was kidnapped and forced to have two sons by this powerful nobleman that King Lear could not, um, fight. And Lear himself, crushed by this, went to their relatives in France, in Brittany, and eventually remarried and had three daughters, which are the daughters in Shakespeare's King Lear. But the cup could no longer be kept in the family. And so Joseph of Arimathea, who had left instructions from Jesus that the cup could only be passed on as long as the continuity of the presence was held. The cup was assigned to brand the blessed to take back to the Holy Land, to take back to the place where he should take it back. And that place, as far as they knew, was Ephesus, because Ephesus was the place that the companion of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, had gone to, bringing with her the young Saint John. He was 12 years old at the crucifixion. Resurrection. And he had a year to go before he would be bar mitzvahed. A mitzvah in Hebrew means witnessed by God. It means that the presence is there. It is. It is sealed by the presence of God witnessing. And as long as man holds with the mitzvah, the mitzvah holds eternally. Bran was supposed to go back to Ephesus. They knew that Mary Magdalene had passed on. She died about 57 AD, but they believed that Saint John was still alive, and Saint John passed on just a year or so before then. So when Bran the Blessed got to Ephesus, there was really no one there to receive it, because the churches at that time were in this turmoil of Saint Paul versus Saint Peter versus. And they ignored Mary Magdalene. They ignored Saint John. So Bran the Blessed. Took it all the way into, uh, ancient Phoenicia. Into tyre. Tyre was founded about 2700 BC. It was the place that Pythagoras's father was born in. Later on the porphyry who wrote the biography of Plotinus and collected the Enneads, was from tyre. Ancient place and from tyre. The Holy Cup was accompanied by sketches that Mary Magdalene had done of Jesus as a young man, because she knew him a long time, and as a mature man, and sketches of Saint John when he was young. Saint James when he was young. He was beheaded in 44 AD. And all of these were put together with the cup, with the Grail in a gold sheath. Around this silver cup, simple silver cup, and the gold sheaf. I will bring next week illustrations of it. And it was kept then, not entire, but taken to Antioch for this, and it was kept in Antioch for centuries, until a great persecution, not by those against Christianity, but by those who did not want to have a reminder that there was an esoteric way that was co-opted, supposedly by a church structure. So it was buried, and it was found in 1910. And it was offered for sale. And two brothers who had. Expensive antique showrooms in Paris and in New York took the rediscovered Grail to Paris. And then, because of the First World War, it was taken to New York. And I will bring the two big elephant folio volumes that were published in 1923 privately in New York and in Paris, showing the entirety of this. What is important is that Mary Magdalene was buried in Ephesus, in a cave called the cave of the Seven Sleepers, so that the Sleeping Beauty motif is a direct harmonic of Mary Magdalene, whose presence was with Jesus and therefore was not dead but was sleeping. And the early phrase was that someone does not die, they go to sleep. They can be awakened because the presence has never not been. Not only that, you're still alive, that you never were dead because God's presence has never died. And so Firminy is the place where Le Corbusier built a church of Firminy. It took 43 years to be able to build it, and it's built on the site where the transfer of the Holy Family took place at the foot of Pilate Peak, and it is one of the great architectural monuments of all time. And for many, even though it's a little industrial town, has about a half a dozen of Le Corbusier's most famous buildings. Because Le Corbusier, like great artists in world history, were presencing and understood more than just the learning of schools, and was such a great artist and understood that this is a very special site and one must make a very, very special place so that the Corbusier church at Firminy, and I'll do more next week on. This is one of the great esoteric structures. It's related to Ephesus, it's related to Glastonbury, it's related to Marseille, it's related to Antioch, it's related to Paris, to New York, where the Grail still is. It's in the Cloisters Museum on the Hudson River, just in the park north of where Columbia University is. And it's still there today. Unappreciated. When it was first introduced to the world, there were hundreds of articles on it. And I'll bring in a great set of classic books on Zeus. Five volumes, Cambridge University Press, from the early 1920s. A.b. cook, like Frazer's Golden Bough and there's a ten page appendix to that. The Grail has been found. What we're doing in these presentations is to bring something that is not only just esoteric or learned or curious, but that we must have a re-acquaintance with. And the re-acquaintance is not of learning for the first time, but of being able to remember, because all of us have the field of consciousness, which has a quality of remembering one not only can remember past lives, one can remember all things. When someone tells me that there are aliens from other star systems here, I remind them that we are not aliens anywhere in the cosmos, and that if they want to learn, they will have to pay as everyone else does. Thank you.
