00:00The sheer beauty and sophistication of Egyptian artifacts entrances us.
00:17How can we unlock the code embedded in every object they made?
00:27How does the symbolism in Egyptian art illuminate their cultural values?
00:38What ancient secrets still lie hidden in plain sight?
00:57Is it that the universe?
00:58Has it been you?
01:00Is it?
01:01Is it you?
01:02Is it?
01:06Our understanding of ancient Egyptian culture is limited, looking at the artifacts left
01:34behind by the ancients. It is obvious that they had different values, customs and beliefs
01:42from ours today. History books are filled with stories of war, invasion of territories
01:50and patriarchal ways of being and thinking. Yet it seems that ancient Egypt enjoyed long
01:57periods of peace and prosperity and a profound connection with nature and spirit. Is there
02:06a way to understand the shift?
02:10So what we refer to as history that began some 6,000 years ago is really the advent of a different
02:16style of social organization that's typified by hierarchies of dominance, you know, warring
02:22deities, warring mythologies and control systems.
02:32Vedic culture from ancient India speaks of a grand and measurable cycle of 26,000 years,
02:40consisting of ascending light ages and descending dark ages.
02:45In the higher ages, you see this philosophy of living in tune with nature. People talk about
02:55speaking with the gods and a lot of interaction. Virtually every ancient culture has stories
02:59about the gods if you go back far enough. And you see a lot of matriarchal cultures if you
03:06go back far enough. You know, the dark age times, you have this very brutal paternalistic type
03:13of ruling.
03:16I think it's difficult for us to understand the ancient Egyptians because we've got the
03:21paradigm of the patriarchal structures on top of it and we're looking through our own
03:26cultural lenses.
03:28Has world culture always been male-dominated and patriarchal? If not, what would a matriarchal
03:37system look like?
03:42Matriarchal is not the opposite of patriarchy, with women dominating and controlling men.
03:49It is based on balance between the masculine and feminine and harmony with nature. This was
03:58exemplified in ancient Egypt, which was known in the old language as the land of Khent.
04:05The ancient life system in Egypt here. The Khemisian tradition being passed down through
04:12the mother. Mother is the teacher, not the father like the patriarchal system. This is the matriarchy.
04:20She is the goddess. She is everything in the house.
04:39She is the goddess.
04:42Based on the countless artifacts that show the high status of the feminine, it seems that women
04:48have the same status as men, if not a higher status.
04:54In the museum, you have statues. You notice that a woman put the arm around the man's shoulder.
05:02And that shows, are they equal? No. The woman was the upper head in the family. When she
05:10put her arm around the man's shoulder, she is saying, this is mine. You also see that the
05:19sculpture in the old days put the feminine wig on a man's head when he promoted more to a
05:29woman than a man. Men's wigs were layered in different lengths, like steps. Women's wigs
05:36were parted in the middle, smooth, and all one length. When a man wore a woman's wig, it
05:43was an indication that he had high status. Only men with wisdom who wear the women. So these
05:52are the scribes and the physicians and the rest of them. All you can do is go back into the
05:58old kingdom, and what you find is obviously a fair amount of equality. The goddesses are
06:05revered as reverently as the gods. And there's even the instance, for example, of
06:10Hathor, the exception in that she's the only deity that has a temple column all to herself.
06:18So the great mother, the great feminine principle, occupies a very important part in the whole
06:24Egyptian symbology, the whole Egyptian doctrine. There's absolutely no doubt about that. Women
06:31could own property as much rights as the men. They could divorce as easily as the men. Of
06:37all the known, sophisticated civilizations that we have access to, probably women were better
06:43off in Egypt than they were anywhere else.
06:46Perhaps we are looking at ancient Egypt from a patriarchal viewpoint. We should let the symbolism
06:53and the artifacts tell their own story. The frescoes we see lining temple walls in Egypt,
07:01and on stone slabs in museums around the world, each tell their own story. We see the same images,
07:10repeated again and again in Egyptian art. By learning to decode these symbols, we can look
07:17back in time, peeling back the layers of patriarchy that cloud our understanding of ancient history.
07:25Then we can begin to decipher the messages that the ancients left us.
07:31You have to accept that we're dealing with a period that occurred at least 5,000 years ago. And the little
07:44we know of it comes from archaic texts that were written in a very occult and esoteric manner. The
07:53world meant for you and me.
07:56The secrets of the ancient Egyptians were not for the commoners.
08:01They were meant for a very, very small group of elites who had to be initiated over many,
08:06many years to appreciate what this text said.
08:10They were for the high-level initiates, which were people who were trained. And they would go
08:16through different initiations, tests, that would help them be wise, that would help them
08:21confront their fears, that would balance them, balance them in the body, mind and emotions.
08:28Initiates were students who were given rudimentary instruction on the mystery traditions of Mayan
08:34and Egyptian cosmic cycles.
08:38As they approached higher levels of consciousness, they came to respect different aspects of
08:45themselves that were represented in the feminine and the masculine. But they went further and
08:50called it sacred feminine and sacred masculine, which meant the purest form that was actually
08:56connected to the two hemispheres of the brain.
09:00Feminine consciousness corresponds to the right hemisphere of the brain and the left side
09:07of the body. In contrast, masculine consciousness corresponds to the left side of the brain and
09:14the right side of the body. Patriarchal consciousness focuses on history, linear time, dogma, rationality,
09:25waking reality, and science.
09:30Matriarchal consciousness focuses on eternity, cycles of time, ritual, magic, altered states, and art.
09:44If we examine the art, we can see the characters almost always have one foot slightly forward.
09:51In some instances, they take a big step forward. In each scene, the goddess has her left foot
09:58slightly leading, showing awareness of the feminine principles of timelessness and magic.
10:06The pharaoh, however, takes a large step with his right foot. This shows that he is grounded
10:13in the masculine.
10:16Similarly, we often see images with two left hands. It has been suggested that this is just a stylistic convention.
10:26But we should not impose our ideas on Egyptian art. Left hands suggest giving, while right hands suggest taking.
10:37In our culture, we've practically erased the feminine in favour of the masculine. Reading, writing, and arithmetic.
10:44Art, music isn't as important. And our society is completely unbalanced because of it.
10:50The ancients knew that you could not achieve high states of consciousness without these being in balance.
10:58And so they revered the pure qualities of either. And so when we say sacred feminine and sacred masculine,
11:05this was the highest form of respect so that the female would have both feminine and masculine balanced within her.
11:14And the male would have both feminine and masculine balanced within him.
11:20Balance between the sacred feminine and sacred masculine runs deep in Egyptian symbolism.
11:29We see gods and goddesses carrying a crook, a flail, and a staff in various combinations.
11:37The crook represents the balance of the emotions. The flail symbolises the balance of the mind.
11:46And the staff depicts the balance of the body. Once balance of the body, the mind, and the emotions was achieved, consciousness could develop.
11:59Notice the staff always has the head of a bird and a forked base.
12:06The staff never touches the ground. This indicates that we are spiritual beings having an earth experience.
12:15We are incarnated here, but our souls can go beyond the earthly plane.
12:26Egyptian temples were places where spiritual work was done.
12:31An arch with a winged disc is always found at the entrance to temples.
12:40The winged disc depicts a vulture and a snake.
12:44The snake has been taken as a symbol of masculine and the vulture is feminine.
12:50The feminine and the masculine had to be in balance. The lower self was to surrender to the higher self in order to enter the sacred space.
13:02This meant that the ego of the everyday world had to step aside while the higher self connected with cosmic energy.
13:11Vulture can fly, snake can't fly, but both have the same glands.
13:20The system of life is based on glands.
13:26The glands were the most important features of the human being.
13:31One of the most misunderstood functions of the human body today is our glandular or endocrine system.
13:39Glands secrete hormones that trigger reproduction.
13:43Fertility and procreation had high value in Egyptian ideology.
13:49The ancients were very much in tune with how the energy systems in the body, or the chakras, as the East Indians would talk about them, were connected to the glands.
14:00Ancient teachings speak of seven energy centers in the body called chakras.
14:06Parallels occur between the concepts of chakras, or energy centers in the body, and our glands.
14:14It appears they are two ways of describing the same thing, through spirituality and through science.
14:22Ancient Egyptians had a holistic understanding of the significance of the glands and their central role in reproduction and in consciousness.
14:33If we can decode the symbols, we see that the sacredness of procreation is readily visible in ancient Egyptian art.
14:43When you see a boy or a man, you see a kind of a bottle on his head.
14:52That is not a bottle, or not a white crown symbolizing Upper Egypt, as my colleagues and scholars say.
15:02No, this is a gland in the human body known as the thymus, located behind the lungs.
15:10The thymus is most active when a baby is in utero.
15:16It continues to be active until puberty.
15:19Then it begins to shrink and is atrophied when we stop being fertile.
15:25It was a critical activator of consciousness.
15:29The red crown is another.
15:31It is the womb, the plasanta.
15:34The thymus and the womb are connected for the cycle of life.
15:44When you see the double crown, the red crown is the womb and the plasanta.
15:51The white crown is the thymus who has its influence on the womb.
15:57That's the symbol of one of the glands.
16:01In the early 1900s, alchemist Shvala de Lubitz presented a work called The Temple of Man.
16:10It demonstrated that the architects of the Luxor Temple used sacred geometry, which reflected the exact proportions of the human body.
16:21As in all Egyptian temples, the most sacred space was located at the back of the temple, the Holy of Holies, which corresponded to the pineal gland.
16:32When activated, the pineal gland is said to stimulate the evolution of higher states of consciousness.
16:40If the temples were metaphors of the human body, the pineal gland corresponded with the Holy of Holies.
16:48At the entrance to the most sacred part of the temple stand tall pillars representing the masculine and the feminine, papyrus and the blue lotus.
17:02The papyrus and the lotus reflect the balance between the feminine and the masculine principles,
17:09and are shown together throughout ancient Egyptian art.
17:15The blue lotus is a symbol of life, and this plant, blossom flower, it grows in the water like water lilies.
17:29It's where the ancient commissions believe that life starts in water, and in that lotus form.
17:37We have seen there are always multiple layers of meaning embedded in ancient Egyptian symbols.
17:43Is there another reason why the blue lotus was so important in Egyptian ceremonies?
17:53In ancient Egyptian art, we see countless instances of part animal, part human forms.
18:02What were the ancients trying to convey by these curious images?
18:07There's a technical term for such creatures that anthropologists use.
18:10They call them therianthropes, and that's from the Greek therion, which means wild beast,
18:15and anthropos, which means man. They're combinations of beast and man.
18:20It's not an accident that all of the gods of Egypt are therianthropic.
18:25They have, of course, fully human forms, but in most cases they also have forms that are part animal and part human.
18:32So you may consider Horus, the head of a hawk, and the body of a man.
18:37You may consider Sekhmet, a lioness with a human body and a lion's head.
18:44Or Anubis, of course, the guide of souls, who is part jackal and part human.
18:51Egypt isn't the only place where these half-animal, half-human images have been found.
18:57Half a world away, we find clues to decode these mysterious symbols.
19:02Throughout the Amazon today, shamans working with the powerful visionary,
19:08Buru Ayahuasca, a combination of two plants, very frequently they will, after their visions,
19:15when they return to the normal, alert, problem-solving state of consciousness,
19:19they will actually sit down and, recollecting what they saw in the visionary state,
19:22will paint and draw the images that they saw.
19:26And the most common motif of these ayahuasca visions is the therianthrope,
19:31creatures that are part animal and part human in form.
19:39This specific characteristic of the ancient Egyptian gods is one of the things that tells me
19:43that our ancient Egyptian ancestors were using altered states of consciousness
19:48to explore the realms of spirit.
19:55Again, we see images of blue lotuses.
19:58Is there another less obvious interpretation of this symbol?
20:03Altering of consciousness has been done by a variety of different methods and techniques,
20:07most commonly in shamanistic cultures, still to this day.
20:12It's done by using hallucinogenic plants which, as it were, switch the receiver wavelength of the brain
20:19and allow us to tune in to other realities.
20:23Of course there are a range of non-drug techniques, rhythmic dancing, certain kinds of music,
20:30certain kinds of spaces have an effect on human consciousness.
20:35But there's a great deal of evidence that they made use of a potion involving the blue lotus and the mandrake root,
20:43possibly also the opium poppy as well, to enter a visionary state.
20:48And in that visionary state to explore, navigate and learn about the realm that lies beyond death.
20:59And they had very concrete and specific ideas about this,
21:02which are expressed in the ancient Egyptian books of the dead, going right back to the pyramid texts.
21:10This was not a work of imagination on the part of the priests.
21:13This was a work of documentation of their out-of-body exploration of realms that lie beyond the merely physical.
21:24Is it possible for us to learn to access other realms today?
21:30Can we expand our capacity to perceive?
21:35Do we need new ways to describe these phenomena?
21:38If I come today and say, I saw you in my dream.
21:43You're going to ask me, what did you see?
21:45Then I say the dream.
21:48Now, did I show you?
21:50The verb see, it's not there, because I did see you in my dream, but not with my eyes, because I was asleep.
21:58So how did that happen?
22:00There must be a sense, put all this vision to me, without my eyes.
22:08But I still, when I speak, limit vocabularities to say, I saw you in my dream.
22:15No, I didn't see you.
22:17But there's no other way to say it.
22:19Could the ancients have mastered innate human abilities that we have forgotten?
22:31You can't tell if that bird on the tree is happy or frightened from a cat.
22:38You can't tell that the donkey is annoyed or happy by the vibration and the sound.
22:47And that's what we want us to notice.
22:50The sound.
22:52It's not the word you said, it's how being said.
22:55You can tell if this vibration, the truth or not truth.
23:03It's natural.
23:05Healthy people, they use all the senses, the full capacity of senses.
23:12The five senses, as we know them today, were symbolized by the scarab.
23:17And when you see the scarab, you are looking at a human skull.
23:25They divide in three sides, three sections.
23:29The front head, symbolized by ancient people as seven, seven openers.
23:38Two, four, six, seven.
23:41That is the front head.
23:42And these are the receivers.
23:46You see with, you hear with, you taste with, you know, everything.
23:51On the left side is the consciousness side.
23:53And that is the daily deeds digested every moment you look at things.
24:01But the other side is the subconscious inside, something you are unable to explain what's going on.
24:09It seems clear that the ancients knew about the subconscious mind.
24:14They had the power to reach beyond the senses.
24:18Something we began to be aware of with the writings of Freud and the advent of psychology in the early 1900s.
24:25Don't compare people of today like the people of the ancient days.
24:32The people of ancient days were healthy.
24:34They were able to use the senses.
24:37We're looking at things as a crippled people.
24:40We only have five senses.
24:42We're supposed to have 360 senses.
24:46360 and only five is recognized.
24:49We got the glance of the sense, but we didn't use it.
24:57And any muscles you don't use, it shrinks.
25:00Obviously.
25:01How can we begin to imagine that the ancients had the capacity of 360 senses?
25:19Perhaps a metaphor for the full spectrum senses could be a sphere.
25:26Is it possible for us to move beyond our five senses today?
25:33Our five familiar senses have been evolved by evolution to connect us to the physical and material realm.
25:40But we have, I like to think of it as a secret doorway inside our own minds,
25:49which can be opened in altered states of consciousness,
25:53through which we may project our consciousness into other realms and dimensions,
25:58and those then become accessible to us.
26:01Could it be that the ancient Egyptians were accessing supernatural realms
26:06through heightened perceptions that came from full spectrum senses?
26:12I come to the conclusion that it's really impossible to understand ancient Egyptian civilization
26:20and ancient Egyptian spirituality and religion
26:24until you get to grips with the fact that the priests of that religion
26:28were deliberately and in a targeted way cultivating altered states of consciousness.
26:34in order to access the supernatural realm.
26:39They know what shamans all over the world still know today,
26:44that in the alert, problem-solving state of consciousness
26:49that is particularly valued by Western industrial society,
26:53you are not going to have supernatural or spiritual experiences of any kind.
26:58It doesn't mean that the supernatural and spirit realms are not there, because they are.
27:05They are all around us all the time.
27:08But our senses cannot tune into that.
27:11It seems that the ancients must have been tuned into something
27:15that allowed them to build sacred structures using monumental architecture.
27:19Today, we consider ourselves to be highly educated.
27:26Yet, engineers are at a loss when they try to build even a small pyramid.
27:32Has our system of education diverted us from what was common knowledge in ancient times?
27:40There were no schools and universities like what we have today.
27:45We've been influenced by this system of teaching.
27:51Today, we think it's an imperative life that no education,
27:57they haven't been to school, and how can they build a pyramid?
28:00They don't know figures, how can they do this?
28:03But we don't know that the senses we have make the impossible, possible.
28:13The impossible to us, which based on ignorance, make it possible.
28:18Because knowing is a very great power, just to know.
28:24The most important ceremony for teaching the populace how to live well was the weighing of the heart.
28:40It reveals what the ancients believed happened in the moments after death.
28:46Initially, in the ceremony of the weighing of the hearts,
28:49the deceased would meet Anubis, who would say,
28:54you're dead.
28:56Let's have your heart.
28:57We're going to weigh it against the feather of truth.
29:00If your heart was heavy, because you had done something immoral,
29:04you weren't allowed to go to the other side.
29:06So, the populace learned that they had to be light of heart in order to live well.
29:14As ancient Egypt slipped into patriarchal ways of being and thinking,
29:19the old spiritual ideology became codified,
29:24and organized religion became dominated by the Amun priesthood.
29:32The Amun priesthood had a lot of power,
29:36and they were in a position to have people pay for their salvation.
29:40It used to be that your heart was weighed against a feather of truth,
29:44but in later pictures of the ceremony of the weighing of the heart,
29:47you'll see Horus holding onto the scale,
29:51and you could pay the priesthood for Shakti dolls,
29:55and the more of them you had,
29:56the more likelihood you could buy the lightness of heart,
30:00instead of being light of heart.
30:01Well, this is a fundamental change in terms of how to live well,
30:11and I think that we still are living in that way.
30:14History is written by its victors, and as the patriarchy took hold,
30:20much effort was put into suppressing Egypt's matriarchal past.
30:24There's a few pharaohs who were erased from the king's list.
30:29Hachatsut was one, Akhenaten was one, and Tutankhamen was another.
30:34The legacy of the controversial pharaoh Akhenaten was almost lost forever
30:40with the complete destruction of the city he and Nefertiti had founded at Amarna.
30:46Now, very little was known about Amarna until there was an earthquake,
30:53and the pylons at Karnak were filled with these little blocks that had been cut up,
30:59and they used them from Amarna to just put as filler inside the pylons.
31:06So when archaeologists found them and started putting them back together,
31:09they realized there was a very large story here.
31:11For the ancients, life on earth mirrored the motion of the stars in the sky.
31:22What the ancients did is they would have the capital be at Heliopolis in the north for 2160 years,
31:31and then they would have the capital be at Thebes, which is now Karnak, for that length of time.
31:37When Akhenaten came into power in the new kingdom of the 18th dynasty,
31:44it was right at the time when things were supposed to shift.
31:48During this time, the patriarchy gained momentum, with the Amun priesthood steadily becoming more powerful.
31:58Akhenaten happened to have been born at one of these points of return, or beginning.
32:04He believed that he was subjugated, like all pharaohs, to a cosmic law, the law of Matt.
32:12What happens up there, they believed it was controlling matters on earth.
32:17And things happened up there that dictated to Akhenaten that he had to move his base,
32:25and had to reinstall the original religion.
32:31When it came time for Nefertiti and Akhenaten to change the capital,
32:36they knew that the Amun priesthood was in power, and that they would really fight them on this.
32:41If he had moved to Eliopolis, there would have been civil war.
32:46If he had stayed in Karnak, he would have not performed what he had to perform, to follow the law, the cosmic law.
32:55Finally, he settled for a midpoint.
32:59So instead of moving the capital back north, they decided to take a point exactly in the middle between the two.
33:08And this was Amarna.
33:09Art created by artisans in the Amarna period is exquisite, and markedly different from the art in other periods.
33:20For the first time, Egyptian royal art depicted the pharaoh and his family all together,
33:28and clearly showing affection for each other.
33:30They built this wonderful place, and they had gorgeous palaces, and people were creative,
33:40it was peaceful, there were flowers and nature, and people lived a leisurely life.
33:46But what it was, was a return to true spirituality.
33:51He ruled with his co-regent, Nefertiti. The feminine was honored.
33:55In this transition, Akhenaten and Nefertiti rejected the established religion of the corrupt Amun priesthood.
34:04They had a profound respect for solar energy, known as the Aten.
34:09And so returning to this was a big threat to the Amun priesthood.
34:14And so they plotted to take Amarna down.
34:16They eventually broke him down, and they destroyed his city, and they reinstalled the ancient gods.
34:26And with all their economy.
34:28They simply destroyed everything, every trace of him.
34:32If they didn't find the ruins of Akhenaten's temples, used as filled, rubble fill in the walls of Karnak,
34:40there'd be almost no sign of Akhenaten.
34:43Amarna was a peaceful society, with great creativity and beauty.
34:50Yet scholars in traditional Egyptology continued to portray Pharaoh Akhenaten as a deformed, renegade, heretical leader.
35:02But seeing as a heretical thing, it's quite the opposite.
35:05The heretics were the priests.
35:06He was not heretical.
35:07He, in fact, was somebody who was determined to adhere to the divine law.
35:15And he went to the cross for it.
35:20After the fall of Akhenaten, Tutankhaten, a boy of only nine years old, became Pharaoh.
35:27Now, because we found Tutankhamun's tomb intact, we know a lot about him and the life that he lived.
35:38Now, he was raised at Amarna.
35:40Now, some people say that Akhenaten was his father.
35:43We don't have DNA tests.
35:44We haven't found the mummy of Akhenaten.
35:46We don't know that for sure.
35:49But it's interesting that he started out as Tutankhaten, because at Amarna they worshipped the Aten.
35:57After he took the throne, they opened the temples again.
36:01They moved away from Amarna.
36:03It seems that as soon as the Amun priesthood found out that he actually was of the Aten,
36:10who changed his name to Tutankhamun, that suddenly he disappeared.
36:17After 10 years of leadership, when Tutankhamun was 19, he died mysteriously.
36:24His mummy was x-rayed, revealing a fractured skull, suggesting a blow to the back of the head.
36:32It seems that he was buried in a rush.
36:34His tomb is very small.
36:35And close to it, there were a whole lot of mummies that were moved in a cache and put aside.
36:43So it's almost like there were several mummies from other dynasties that were in the tomb that he ended up in.
36:49And then they took furniture from Amarna and buried him there.
36:53Though the tomb of King Tut left us many clues, his fate remains a mystery.
36:59Another casualty of the patriarchal retelling of history is the story of Queen Hatshepsut.
37:08Hatshepsut came earlier in the 18th dynasty.
37:11She started out by being a queen, and then she became pharaoh.
37:16Hatshepsut was a wise and powerful leader who re-established trade networks with Egypt's neighbours,
37:23building the prosperity of the 18th dynasty.
37:34She was certainly ruling for a long time, at a period of tremendous peace and prosperity.
37:40The artwork was never better than under her reign.
37:43Had she been male, she would likely have been remembered in history books as the best ruler of Egypt.
37:49Regardless of her success as a leader, she is still an enigma.
37:56There has been much controversy about Hatshepsut.
38:00It could be due to the patriarchy having little tolerance of images of an empowered woman.
38:06No one seems to agree on who the real Hatshepsut was.
38:12There have been massive books written on Hatshepsut and again there are no real conclusions.
38:20Obviously Hatshepsut must have been a very able ruler because she stayed there apparently 22 years.
38:26Somehow, about 20 years after she passed, her statues were broken and all put into a pit.
38:33When they found them, they started putting them back together.
38:36But, like Akhenaten and Nefertiti, the Amarna period, they were largely forgotten.
38:41Because the people who came after, were very threatened.
38:45And they somehow wanted to destroy all trace.
38:48Hatshepsut, Nefertiti and Akhenaten, Tutankhamun.
38:52They were the ones that really understood spirituality in some way.
38:55I suppose there was no money to be made if you weren't selling salvation.
39:05We may never know how the high courts of ancient Egypt were run.
39:10It seems likely that the stories passed down through the patriarchal institutions of the 19th and 20th centuries may have misled us.
39:19The peace and prosperity of the 18th dynasty, particularly in the time of Hatshepsut, Nefertiti and Akhenaten, had to do with honouring the feminine in balance with the masculine.
39:35Looking at Egyptian artefacts and frescoes, it is clear that the feminine principle played a prominent role in society and was cherished and revered.
39:45The feminine principle was articulated in the concept of a great mother who was central to the ancient Egyptian world view and was echoed by other world cultures.
39:58The Milky Way in the sky is mythologized in various ways, in various traditions, in various cultures around the world.
40:05And it's often thought of, almost universally thought of, as a great mother principle, the great cosmic mother in the sky.
40:15In ancient Egypt, biology met cosmology, and both were considered sacred.
40:22When you look at cosmology, in terms of biology is describing events that happen inside of a womb.
40:31And the womb happens to be the womb of the mother goddess.
40:34In both Mayan and ancient Egyptian cosmology, the centre of the Milky Way galaxy is where stars are born.
40:42Metaphorically, it is the womb of the great cosmic mother, represented as Isis, giving birth.
40:53We keep looking at how the ancient Egyptians thought, and everything fed biology and procreation.
41:00How we got here, how we came into existence, biology, and then how we left, and how our soul continues to live.
41:08And we can see that there aren't really that many symbols that aren't pertaining to balance of the body, mind and emotions, and to balance between the two hemispheres of the brain.
41:19Once we can embrace that, then it's easier to understand the Egyptians.
41:22That switch from matriarchy to patriarchy, I think it's the cause of what's on the world now of conflicts and disagreement and showing of power.
41:40Already, the beginning of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt, Egypt was moving from being matriarchal to coming into more patriarchal ways of being and thinking.
41:50There were a few periods where the ancient ancient knowledge was remembered, but it's important to remember that there was a lot of ancient Egypt prior to the dynasties and in the early periods that did not represent those values.
42:06So, the parts of Egypt that I find the most interesting come from the memory of times that came further back.
42:14I said many times that healthy people, they got the power which is unhealthy people haven't got it.
42:24And I want you and all my friends and all my beloved to know that you have it.
42:30And when you know that, you will work on it to come bring it stronger.
42:35As I said before, the senses just like muscles. If you don't use it, shrink and go.
42:44And go.
42:45And go.
42:46And go.
42:47And go.
42:48And go.
42:49So,
42:53And go.
42:55And go.
