Gregg Braden weaves the dimensions of the Great Pyramid, John Anthony West's water-erosion case at the Sphinx, Anunnaki iconography and the recently expanded Nazca line catalogue into a single argument: that the human task is to restore consciousness to its original state, with help from beings who set up locales for that work.

Transcript

the great pyramid is part of an attempt to create a three-dimensional model of the afterlife realm not only does the great pyramid give us the dimensions of the earth but it does so on a scale defined by the earth itself the weather and erosion that i saw on the sphinx was not compatible with sahara desert hyper arid conditions they said this was absolutely impossible because there's no civilization when you go back to five to seven thousand bc that could construct the sphinx who built these things they were built by the crocodile kings now that might be a perfect definition of what the annunaki were because we do see a lot of depictions of them with reptilian features the reason we're here according to many ancient wisdom traditions is to restore consciousness to its original pure state there are higher beings in this universe who are trying to help us do that by providing places on earth to engage in the processes that help restore consciousness the nazca lines are still being revealed only recently japanese scientists discovered another 70 images in the nazca desert by using drone technology it is very possible that the knowledge of our relationship to the stars existed much earlier and was transmitted to the people of nazca [Music] the creator who or what might be the creator of all that exists humans have pondered this question since the beginning of time hoping to understand their own purpose by looking to the sky what if this explanation is so big what if our universe is one gigantic cell living in an organism a living organism that has many cells otherwise known as many universes and these many universes make up a living body if we take for instance the context of the universe compared to the human cell we have a cell made up of a molecule a molecule consists of atoms and an atom consists of electrons that form around a nucleus this looks similar to our own understanding of the universe there's a famous quote from the emerald tablet of hermes tris magistas that states as above so below what if the concept of the garden of eden is just the beginning of a much bigger picture what if we are all part of the creator from the very first cell to the universe we see today if that might be true how do the ancient texts reveal this knowledge maybe the answer to our question is buried right below our nose the gnostic texts are found in upper egypt almost exactly the same time the dead sea scrolls are found in israel as well nag hamadi is a small village along the nile river in egypt and a young boy was tasked by his mother to find kindling which was a very short supply because there are very few trees there's no forests that grow along nile river in that part of egypt being very resourceful he went to what he knew were old grave sites and old tombs and he found uh papyrus books that were bound these are the gnostic texts it wasn't until someone recognized the neighbor recognized what it was that he had that department of antiquities in cairo became aware and of course they moved very quickly to preserve the remaining documents so the nag hamadi library it is the most complete record of the old testament and the reason it's so controversial is because it contains many of the books that have not been seen since the church edited them in the fourth century now i don't want to get mystical or or spooky but it's as though it's as though something is at work to to not allow us to be blinded and and silenced something something is at work to allow these ancient ideas to come to come back into the world and gnosticism has indeed come back into the world i'll try to reconstruct the the situation in the early years of christianity really you know from sort of 30 onwards through to about 400 a.d there are actually many different kinds of christians many different sects that regard themselves as christians as followers of christ but they have very different very different views amongst those early christian sects were a group that called themselves gnostics they believed that there is a divine spark in humanity the gnostic mission was to liberate that divine spark to provide us with the saving knowledge to lead us to the revelation that would help us to understand the true nature of things not the illusory nature that's been created to hoodwink all of us but the real true nature of things what is life for elon musk now you can see a video game that's photorealistic almost realistic and millions of people playing simultaneously and and you see where things going with virtual reality if you extrapolate that out into the future with any rate of progress at all then eventually those games will be indistinguishable from reality they'll be so realistic you will not be able to tell the difference between that game and the reality as we know it well how do we know that that didn't happen in the past and that we're not in one of those games ourselves some believe this concept of a simulated universe originated from these ancient gnostic texts that suddenly were discovered in nineteen forty five these lost books named the creator of the universe as an aeon named sophia sophia was considered to be a frequency and her frequency would manifest into certain humans and the material realm this myth of sophia has challenged some to look at the universe differently than they have before the manifestation of sofia the personification of sophia might be representative of fractal energy and the fact that fractal energy fills the gaps between the symmetries of the very small and the very large and it's this energy that we're basically saying is controlling this ancient technology that all of this ancient technology is based upon that same idea that it goes on and on through every single ancient teaching that this idea that there is this all-encompassing unified energetic field makes a lot of sense that that that would be equated to sophia fractal energy has a has a very deep relationship to the golden mean ratio and the golden mean ratio is present in human dna um that's what our dna is based off of and it's through this fractal energy and the fact that the golden mean ratio basically keeps it in in check and keeps it going in a certain direction that we're able to derive a lot of of new technology even today it's something that they're beginning to rediscover something nikola tesla had come across in his work but it's interesting that these ancient civilizations were recording information like this and doing it in such a way that a parable could back up actual scientific information could the ancient gnostic texts be explaining not only the creator but the frequency in which the creator exists through mathematics and quantum physics this third dimension is is what we consider to be a holographic reality it's not just me saying this it's a lot of scientists have come forward now a lot of scientists involved in supersymmetry and quantum physics quantum mechanics stating that the nature of the reality of the universe itself appears to be holographic in nature so what scientists did was they did an experiment called the double slit experiment where they put two little tiny microscopic slits and they put photons on the back and they shot these photons through these slits but when they weren't looking the photon created a wave pattern on the back wall of this experiment so they said why how can this be how can individual photons create a wave pattern so they went back and put a looking device a camera to see how the photons were going through these slits to create a wave pattern they wanted to know how how that could be but when they did that when they looked it created a digital pattern on the back wall so all of a sudden they it was a wow moment the the actual prospect of looking in other words conscious intervention can change matter can change the shape of of the universe so basically it tells us that consciousness is really what is all that exists in the universe the universe is pure consciousness and what consciousness has actually done it has actually recreated itself or it actually split itself into pieces to experience itself subjectively so consciousness wants to go out and it wants to create and what it has done it has gone out with these energies and it has created subjectively humans planets galaxies so that it can experience itself from another perspective and this is what we take from it from the quantum level in terms of these sophia energies and some of these gnostic energies it appears that consciousness is the only thing that really exists and everything else seems to be an illusion [Music] naseem haramin's been doing some really interesting work which does tie in very much to the old view of the ancients and the gnostics in that it explains how creation transpires what he's talking about in more of a metaphysics or quantum level is how existence comes to be it's cosmogeny so it's how the cosmos comes to form which to the gnostics was the flow of reality from eternity into nature and back this flow is actually represented by the goddess sophia she is the flow of reality itself coming out from the pre-existent state of spirit but if this is true why would this understanding of the universe and an aeon named sophia be hidden beneath the sand for so long the sumerian texts allude to the same principle that a great administrator named satam looked over the people of the garden of eden his name in the sumerian text was the god enlil and his hopes were to enslave the human race he then appears in the garden as yahweh the biblical god the serpent in the garden however was another sumerian god named enki whose desire was to free the human race through knowledge how did this concept of good and evil get so flipped upside down [Music] in 2003 we discovered a degeneration in the brain that seemed to be programmed due to a molecule called pp1 we don't know why we cannot explain why but at a certain point humans have this incredible ability to forget this molecule affects the brain and it is a degeneration of memory i think that there is a programmed blockage which was performed on the human brain what is interesting about great myths whether it is for native americans or for africans very much as well is that they have the ability to constantly recite those myths their history so as not to forget some people the hebrews as well probably have managed to have this ability to pass on information across generations could there really be a molecule that blocks our true remembering of who we are was this a programmed manipulation of our genetic code this might explain our constant search for where we as humans originated from and who or what might be god the garden of eden to the gnostics refers to the center principle from which all creation springs so it's the pre-existent spirit of god so to speak so this is before time and space it's the circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere so everything that exists in this world pre-exists within what the gnostics refer to as the pleroma which means fullness it's hard to imagine where the pleuroma could be located with our current point of view some say that it is linked to dimensions but i think that inherently the idea of pluroma is more linked to frequency another frequency [Music] if we go back to our understanding of quantum physics and the creation of matter could this frequency transcend into our physical universe today and how do the gnostic texts explain this there's a pre-existent tension within plural in the pleroma where the archetypal deities or archangels almost demand their expression or substantiation within the playing fields of creation itself because they pre-exist in the state of light but they almost need to express their these ideal forms that they represent so what sophia the myth kind of represents is the urge for them to create themselves [Music] the goddess sophia the ion sophia whose name of course means wisdom and she enters a trance-like dream state and in that dream state she envisages a singularity the anthropos humanity so she exits the plural and then falls into a state of deficiency and in that state of deficiency she splits so there's a higher version of sophia that remains in the plural which is kind of like her celestial twin and then the lower sophia exits it becomes the physical universe the cosmic the soul of the world which is deficient because now evil is introduced into that or a deficiency or a corruption [Music] as a result of that fall tearing tearing through the layers and levels of reality is created the entity that the gnostics call the demiurge and he is also the creator of the physical earth and of the beings who dwell upon it it is sophia's work that inserted into the heart of humanity deep within us is this divine spark that we are fundamentally creatures of spirit immersed in matter if sophia is the creator of our divine spark then could the demiurge be the creator of the matter we exist in is he the architect of our reality the demi urge becomes a representation of sophia's irrational passions so sophia's irrational passions takes on the form of the demiurge which also becomes the rulers of the archons according to graham hancock the demi urge is what humans might refer to as the biblical god or creator of the universe and this creator created himself angels or demons depending on how you look at it and these archons help keep order in the universe the goddess sophia is incarnated in the earth itself but the earth is the domain of the demiurge and the project of the demiurge is to get rid of that divine spark in humanity to snuff it out to stamp it out forever so that we become entirely his creatures the archons which were created by the demiurge according to the gnostic text stand between the human race and the great architect himself in most cases they are considered to be semi-hostile angels and demons the demiurges motives were not that good according to the gnostics and then the demiurge put and created these archons to be in charge of making sure that the universe stays intact as a prison for souls every generation is a step lower further from the perfect monad holiness and they created worlds of their own now they were only one step above pure evil so these were corrupted worlds [Music] in the gnostic text specifically the apocryphon of john it gives a detailed account of the various archons in this chapter it suggests there are seven these actually correspond very nicely with the seven planets and the actual name of the planets in our tradition have very different names when they are called archons of the gnostic tradition saturn in the gnostic tradition is called yaldabaoth or samayal jupiter is called io mars is called saboth venus is called estefanos the sun is called adinaos mercury is called eleios and the moon is called orarios [Music] we now have an astrology where the planets appear to have influences on the personality and they vary from one to another we have this opportunity to understand there is a ghost in the machine something is going on that takes the apparent mundane reality on the surface veneer level and you look past the veneer level and you see there is an organized plan in place could the ghost in the system be the energy of sophia reincarnating herself into goddess archetypes and could these concepts of the demiurge and the archons coincide with some of the motivations of the characters in the sumerian text [Music] this world is completely offset compared to our way of thinking it really seems like science fiction when we watch science fiction movies nowadays we can find that the same themes are being explored in egyptian gnostic text we find a recurrent main character she is called sophia and this sophia will become tiamat tiamata from the sumerian text [Music] tiamata can be decomposed in t ama and ta the latter is not always added in very concrete terms it means lady of life amma is lady and t is life it is interesting to see that right off we get that she is a supreme goddess then we can actually find her in different mythologies tiamat is the archetype of the mother goddess and a sophia's spokesperson is all powerful and according to the sumerian text she is going to create herself a lineage of females that we call amashatum this could be translated to the lizard mothers in the sumerian text i think it's important to note that the sophia energy is going to create a new being named on you should know that the on particle also means the sky that character is then going to create a people we find in sumerian text [Music] it is important to note that gods were created in artificial matrices on creates enki and then inky creates another son who will become on spokesperson for his agenda his name is in leo and he will ceaselessly be against inky in order to impede him and his knowledge from getting out to the humans as soon as on steps in things are going to change we can see that on wants to overthrow the matriarchal royalty and enforce his own rule this marks an important separation in the history of the sumerian gods and of the gods in general on the one hand there is the matriarchal energy with tiamat with sophia's energy and on the other hand these new gods fresh out of the matrices male gods who are going to revolt against chiaman we see in leo going to fight tiamat enforcing his power and this is what we find in the anuma alice the sumerian texts suggest that tiamata was defeated by enlil and he takes over as ruler to instill the principles of the false god in the gnostic text however it suggests that the sophia energy that embodied tiamata was not defeated but rather ignored and the knowledge of her existence was taken over by the knowledge of the demiurge the gnostic texts explain to us that we have been under the influence of this great archon who is not the true creator he fashions himself to be and because of this we suffer greatly under our own false reality but the sumerian texts remind us that throughout this battle of humanity there's given to us an ally by the name of enki who fights to keep the sophia frequency alive it is important to know that the so-called gnostic texts the ones from nag hamadi were all excavated in egypt that is crucial information because the character of inky lived for a while in ancient mesopotamia but after a while was in such disagreement with enlil that he left for egypt he attempted civilizing mankind he is then found under the name of osiris these archives probably created by inky usually depict events that took place prior to the ones that we find in sumerian text they are about the creation before creation itself there is a return of the sophia to the logos or the godhead and when that return happens it is described as being this incredible burst of light that actually changes the very fabric of the bodies themselves this to me sounds like another example of the widespread prophecies that we see of this energy released from the sun greek and roman philosophers often called the aparosis a massive fire released from the sun so when we're looking at the story of sophia and her redemption it seems that it is another example of the prophecies that go all the way back to the greek text the hindu text in which we go through some sort of massive transformation in this sort of fallen state of our solar system or humanity and then brought back up to a higher spiritual level in some way could the gnostic texts be supporting the meaning behind the sumerian creation story if the gnostic texts are able to explain our possible beginning as humans and our current state of simulated reality why do we still feel lost in the system and will all this understanding of who we are and why we are here return the story of the fallen sophia does appear to mirror the story of each of us in terms of how we have become blinded to the afterlife we became blinded to higher consciousness we don't really understand if we are going to live again or if we have lived before and we don't understand if there is a purpose or plan for our lives and for the greater universe it's hidden you can't really perceive it it hasn't become it hasn't become substantiated yet it's becoming substantiated through this life process that we're living which is kind of like i like to think that we live in the greatest story ever told like all these myths are is we're living it right right now it's a living mythology and it's also a collective universe it's all integrated like there's nothing the only thing that separates us from each other and from nature and from the divine as our own misguided perception our misguided perception may have been the work of the ancient gods but there is more evidence to support that the original creators of the garden of eden might have planted a seed on earth [Music] it's as though something slipped past the redactors in the bible a little bit of truth came through instead of all the lies that the demiurge has spread
