Section 1: 00:00:08,080 – 00:00:31,990
00:00:08,080 β†’ 00:00:10,990 Thank you. I'm almost out.
00:00:11,000 β†’ 00:00:13,030 To keep going like
00:00:13,040 β†’ 00:00:15,110 Um before
00:00:15,120 β†’ 00:00:16,990 It was a perfect timing but I'm going to
00:00:17,000 β†’ 00:00:18,910 try to
00:00:18,920 β†’ 00:00:19,640 get it again.
00:00:19,650 β†’ 00:00:21,590 >> [music]
00:00:21,600 β†’ 00:00:23,710 >> When we talk about
00:00:23,720 β†’ 00:00:26,790 we skipped a bit about the mother cult
00:00:26,800 β†’ 00:00:28,870 and
00:00:28,880 β†’ 00:00:31,990 that came
Section 2: 00:00:32,000 – 00:01:16,030
00:00:32,000 β†’ 00:00:35,070 to after when
00:00:35,080 β†’ 00:00:39,310 after 800 BC I guess it is like when we
00:00:39,320 β†’ 00:00:41,870 can have the records about it
00:00:41,880 β†’ 00:00:43,950 and even Roman times
00:00:43,960 β†’ 00:00:45,430 um
00:00:45,440 β†’ 00:00:48,470 What what is this great mother cult? Can
00:00:48,480 β†’ 00:00:49,350 you
00:00:49,360 β†’ 00:00:52,630 talk talk about us a bit of the great
00:00:52,640 β†’ 00:00:54,950 mother cult and what is the connection
00:00:54,960 β†’ 00:00:56,590 with this
00:00:56,600 β†’ 00:00:57,230 um
00:00:57,240 β†’ 00:00:58,230 with the
00:00:58,240 β†’ 00:01:00,030 with your book actually?
00:01:00,040 β†’ 00:01:01,670 I guess that was the first time I I I
00:01:01,680 β†’ 00:01:04,829 heard about this idea of the unique of
00:01:04,839 β†’ 00:01:06,470 the
00:01:06,480 β†’ 00:01:07,710 hermaphrodites [clears throat]
00:01:07,720 β†’ 00:01:09,030 and
00:01:09,040 β†’ 00:01:13,070 she-male gods and and all of that. So,
00:01:13,080 β†’ 00:01:16,030 can you talk about us um
Section 3: 00:01:16,040 – 00:01:52,390
00:01:16,040 β†’ 00:01:18,270 a bit of of that? Can you elaborate on
00:01:18,280 β†’ 00:01:20,390 this mother cult and
00:01:20,400 β†’ 00:01:22,630 this idea?
00:01:22,640 β†’ 00:01:26,110 Yes, and it's a big deal. And how do we
00:01:26,120 β†’ 00:01:29,030 know the mother cult from antiquity? You
00:01:29,040 β†’ 00:01:30,910 know, cuz I could just be making Jack
00:01:30,920 β†’ 00:01:32,990 up. You'd never know.
00:01:33,000 β†’ 00:01:36,430 How can you go check on all of this?
00:01:36,440 β†’ 00:01:38,270 It's from the ancient sources
00:01:38,280 β†’ 00:01:40,230 themselves. The
00:01:40,240 β†’ 00:01:43,070 Greek and Latin speaking world that
00:01:43,080 β†’ 00:01:45,390 encountered the mother cult. We can go
00:01:45,400 β†’ 00:01:47,550 back and we can read what you know,
00:01:47,560 β†’ 00:01:50,190 silly Romans said, right? Oh God, they
00:01:50,200 β†’ 00:01:52,390 have their sensibilities. You know,
Section 4: 00:01:52,400 – 00:02:06,950
00:01:52,400 β†’ 00:01:53,910 we're talking about you can look at
00:01:53,920 β†’ 00:01:56,750 authors like Apuleius, Lucian. You can
00:01:56,760 β†’ 00:02:00,550 see how did they refer to
00:02:00,560 β†’ 00:02:06,950 this kind of eastern
Section 5: 00:02:06,960 – 00:02:40,510
00:02:06,960 β†’ 00:02:09,550 cult from Asia Minor that kind of
00:02:09,560 β†’ 00:02:12,110 infiltrates the Mediterranean.
00:02:12,120 β†’ 00:02:14,750 And by the 1st century
00:02:14,760 β†’ 00:02:16,630 they are
00:02:16,640 β†’ 00:02:20,070 the Romans are you know, crazy about the
00:02:20,080 β†’ 00:02:22,710 great mother, Magna Mater. What are you
00:02:22,720 β†’ 00:02:24,670 talking about, man? Magna Mater is
00:02:24,680 β†’ 00:02:27,470 everything. Who is she? So, look, what
00:02:27,480 β†’ 00:02:29,870 do we do? We look at what they did when
00:02:29,880 β†’ 00:02:31,390 they watched
00:02:31,400 β†’ 00:02:32,710 the
00:02:32,720 β†’ 00:02:34,790 people performing the rites of the great
00:02:34,800 β†’ 00:02:38,710 mother. And what it is is it's a lot of
00:02:38,720 β†’ 00:02:40,510 magic
Section 6: 00:02:40,520 – 00:03:14,630
00:02:40,520 β†’ 00:02:43,910 a lot of testicles getting
00:02:43,920 β†’ 00:02:45,390 ripped off
00:02:45,400 β†’ 00:02:48,670 and a whole bunch of stories
00:02:48,680 β†’ 00:02:52,110 illustrations of the great mother
00:02:52,120 β†’ 00:02:55,430 cutting off the private parts of
00:02:55,440 β†’ 00:02:57,150 her
00:02:57,160 β†’ 00:02:58,790 devotee,
00:02:58,800 β†’ 00:03:00,390 her child.
00:03:00,400 β†’ 00:03:02,750 She's raising the child and shh, don't
00:03:02,760 β†’ 00:03:05,830 tell anyone cuz it's kind of
00:03:05,840 β†’ 00:03:09,190 not so good today, right? But this is
00:03:09,200 β†’ 00:03:11,830 the the cult of a
00:03:11,840 β†’ 00:03:14,630 beautiful
Section 7: 00:03:14,640 – 00:03:40,830
00:03:14,640 β†’ 00:03:16,190 goddess
00:03:16,200 β†’ 00:03:18,710 creator
00:03:18,720 β†’ 00:03:22,110 who initiates
00:03:22,120 β†’ 00:03:26,630 we people, we mortals into a state of
00:03:26,640 β†’ 00:03:29,070 immortality.
00:03:29,080 β†’ 00:03:31,310 And she does that
00:03:31,320 β†’ 00:03:32,910 through
00:03:32,920 β†’ 00:03:36,590 the child, the boy who is coming into
00:03:36,600 β†’ 00:03:40,830 his sexual maturity.
Section 8: 00:03:40,840 – 00:04:09,350
00:03:40,840 β†’ 00:03:45,070 She has a direct sexual relationship.
00:03:45,080 β†’ 00:03:46,670 Now, this is going to blow your mind cuz
00:03:46,680 β†’ 00:03:48,990 you would think, oh God, let's not talk
00:03:49,000 β†’ 00:03:52,430 about great mother and sex in the same
00:03:52,440 β†’ 00:03:54,390 same breath or else we're going to be
00:03:54,400 β†’ 00:03:56,670 Oedipus. Good God.
00:03:56,680 β†’ 00:04:00,310 Right? Um that tension is part of the
00:04:00,320 β†’ 00:04:03,110 tension that the Greeks and the Romans
00:04:03,120 β†’ 00:04:06,150 both kind of expressed, not kind of both
00:04:06,160 β†’ 00:04:09,350 expressed.
Section 9: 00:04:09,360 – 00:04:32,230
00:04:09,360 β†’ 00:04:12,790 There is a closeness. There is a
00:04:12,800 β†’ 00:04:15,390 a change in perspective that creates an
00:04:15,400 β†’ 00:04:18,710 intimacy. So, we're looking at a
00:04:18,720 β†’ 00:04:20,509 religion
00:04:20,519 β†’ 00:04:23,350 a performance that is taking place
00:04:23,360 β†’ 00:04:25,510 between the mother
00:04:25,520 β†’ 00:04:28,310 and the
00:04:28,320 β†’ 00:04:32,230 sexually
Section 10: 00:04:32,240 – 00:05:13,110
00:04:32,240 β†’ 00:04:35,070 It's process of education
00:04:35,080 β†’ 00:04:37,910 and it's process of bringing the child
00:04:37,920 β†’ 00:04:41,630 to the adult immortality.
00:04:41,640 β†’ 00:04:44,350 There's risk involved in all of this,
00:04:44,360 β†’ 00:04:48,630 right? And you can lose the person.
00:04:48,640 β†’ 00:04:51,110 The lover of the great mother can be
00:04:51,120 β†’ 00:04:53,910 lost to the nymph. And you say, what
00:04:53,920 β†’ 00:04:56,390 what what the hell are these people
00:04:56,400 β†’ 00:04:59,270 talking about when you consider
00:04:59,280 β†’ 00:05:01,430 what the cult actually does that the
00:05:01,440 β†’ 00:05:04,790 Romans and Greeks report to us.
00:05:04,800 β†’ 00:05:07,990 When you see that the young boys who
00:05:08,000 β†’ 00:05:10,150 were joining the religion, they don't go
00:05:10,160 β†’ 00:05:13,110 to communion like you do in Catholic.
Section 11: 00:05:13,120 – 00:06:03,470
00:05:13,120 β†’ 00:05:15,390 They don't go through the steps of
00:05:15,400 β†’ 00:05:18,830 who-ha and genuflection. No, they have
00:05:18,840 β†’ 00:05:22,470 to publicly cut off their testicles
00:05:22,480 β†’ 00:05:26,710 and begin to dress like women
00:05:26,720 β†’ 00:05:28,670 in order
00:05:28,680 β†’ 00:05:31,870 to maintain that sacred
00:05:31,880 β†’ 00:05:35,270 relationship with the great mother.
00:05:35,280 β†’ 00:05:39,870 And you would be smart to listen to them
00:05:39,880 β†’ 00:05:42,110 because they have a form of
00:05:42,120 β†’ 00:05:43,830 communication
00:05:43,840 β†’ 00:05:46,270 that is only possible through the
00:05:46,280 β†’ 00:05:47,750 unique.
00:05:47,760 β†’ 00:05:49,790 Right? You're not a unique.
00:05:49,800 β†’ 00:05:51,070 Right?
00:05:51,080 β†’ 00:05:52,590 You weren't You didn't have your You
00:05:52,600 β†’ 00:05:55,350 have your testicles, right? I still
00:05:55,360 β†’ 00:05:58,150 still yeah, still. Okay.
00:05:58,160 β†’ 00:06:00,070 You've had them all your life, right?
00:06:00,080 β†’ 00:06:03,470 And they've developed who you are.
Section 12: 00:06:03,480 – 00:06:38,510
00:06:03,480 β†’ 00:06:06,070 But you would have a different ability
00:06:06,080 β†’ 00:06:08,870 if at 10 years old you and I went to the
00:06:08,880 β†’ 00:06:11,710 temple and you got caught up in the
00:06:11,720 β†’ 00:06:13,870 caught up in the festival, the holy day,
00:06:13,880 β†’ 00:06:16,310 right? You see, the holy day is not when
00:06:16,320 β†’ 00:06:18,510 we go eat and sing Merry Christmas to
00:06:18,520 β†’ 00:06:20,030 each other. The holy day is when the
00:06:20,040 β†’ 00:06:22,550 whole town gets together. We burn these
00:06:22,560 β†’ 00:06:25,670 massive drugs in these massive
00:06:25,680 β†’ 00:06:30,030 heaps and we all get incubate We all in
00:06:30,040 β†’ 00:06:33,670 enter infused, excuse me, we get infused
00:06:33,680 β†’ 00:06:35,950 with the power of the goddess and then
00:06:35,960 β†’ 00:06:38,510 some of us come forward and cut off our
Section 13: 00:06:38,520 – 00:07:10,790
00:06:38,520 β†’ 00:06:40,710 testicles.
00:06:40,720 β†’ 00:06:43,950 That gives us a form of vision that you
00:06:43,960 β†’ 00:06:46,430 and I don't have.
00:06:46,440 β†’ 00:06:49,510 Right? You don't understand
00:06:49,520 β†’ 00:06:53,030 who the great mother is because your
00:06:53,040 β†’ 00:06:56,510 private parts are blocking you from
00:06:56,520 β†’ 00:06:58,710 understanding her.
00:06:58,720 β†’ 00:07:00,710 So, this kind of wisdom, what it
00:07:00,720 β†’ 00:07:03,030 ultimately is and the Romans recognize
00:07:03,040 β†’ 00:07:05,670 this. It was providing society with a
00:07:05,680 β†’ 00:07:10,790 very disciplined form of respect
Section 14: 00:07:10,800 – 00:07:54,750
00:07:10,800 β†’ 00:07:14,830 for that female maternal
00:07:14,840 β†’ 00:07:17,070 ideal.
00:07:17,080 β†’ 00:07:19,910 And I want Do do do we have some
00:07:19,920 β†’ 00:07:22,790 accounts about this
00:07:22,800 β†’ 00:07:24,470 this situations that you are talking
00:07:24,480 β†’ 00:07:26,990 about that you we can go
00:07:27,000 β†’ 00:07:29,430 around quickly?
00:07:29,440 β†’ 00:07:32,350 If If we didn't have any accounts, I
00:07:32,360 β†’ 00:07:35,070 wouldn't be able to say that.
00:07:35,080 β†’ 00:07:39,070 The best one The best one is in Lucian's
00:07:39,080 β†’ 00:07:43,430 Dea Dea Syria, On the Syrian Goddess.
00:07:43,440 β†’ 00:07:44,710 Oh, it's horribly written and it's
00:07:44,720 β†’ 00:07:46,910 terrible. It's supposed to be Ionian,
00:07:46,920 β†’ 00:07:49,510 like heavily Ionian with Dorian influ-
00:07:49,520 β†’ 00:07:52,150 God, it's awfully written. Lucian does
00:07:52,160 β†’ 00:07:54,750 it on purpose because he's mimicking
Section 15: 00:07:54,760 – 00:08:30,710
00:07:54,760 β†’ 00:07:56,710 dialects, right? He's just a good writer
00:07:56,720 β†’ 00:07:59,470 and that's what he does. But if you get
00:07:59,480 β†’ 00:08:03,310 beyond that to the content of the Syrian
00:08:03,320 β†’ 00:08:05,950 Goddess, it's called by Lucian,
00:08:05,960 β†’ 00:08:09,590 he has a very distinct
00:08:09,600 β†’ 00:08:11,110 description
00:08:11,120 β†’ 00:08:13,430 down of the boys cutting off their
00:08:13,440 β†’ 00:08:15,670 testicles. I mean, cuz that's really
00:08:15,680 β†’ 00:08:17,430 what matters, right? All the mythology
00:08:17,440 β†’ 00:08:20,350 and all the story None of that matters.
00:08:20,360 β†’ 00:08:22,030 What matters is the people are going
00:08:22,040 β†’ 00:08:24,670 forward in order to gain an access of a
00:08:24,680 β†’ 00:08:27,630 vision to a woman, a mother and they are
00:08:27,640 β†’ 00:08:30,710 cutting off their balls to do that.
Section 16: 00:08:30,720 – 00:09:10,910
00:08:30,720 β†’ 00:08:33,790 Voluntarily, willfully and then joining
00:08:33,800 β†’ 00:08:36,270 her priesthood so that they can dress
00:08:36,280 β†’ 00:08:38,350 like her, they can look like her, they
00:08:38,360 β†’ 00:08:41,430 can feel like her. And
00:08:41,440 β†’ 00:08:44,950 society reacts. And Lucian, when the kid
00:08:44,960 β†’ 00:08:48,510 cuts off his testicles, he he's com- he
