This mini-course is actually just a single chapter from the upcoming much longer course, The Celestial Bible Tour, Part Two.
It is just $20USD and includes two hours of video exploring the life of Moses from the "ark among the bulrushes" to the crossing of the Red Sea.
Of course, we explore the evidence that Moses and the events in these stories are celestial metaphor, based on the stars, and intended to convey ancient wisdom pointing us towards recovery of our own authentic Self.
Perfect for those just wanting to see a single "a la carte" chapter, as well as for those who just can't wait for The Celestial bible Tour, Part Two! (The Celestial Bible Tour, Part One is already available).
Thank you so much for your interest in, and support of, my work -- and the world's ancient myths.
It discusses the possibility that a US Army three-star general may have been captured by Russian Federation forces in Mariupol -- a possibility which is still up for debate, despite the smug assertions by "fact-checker" sites which claim that such a possibility has been completely debunked.
If indeed an active-duty general was active in Mariupol and was actually captured by Russian Federation forces, then the implications of that fact would be enormous. As yet, however, we don't really know one way or another.
But there is another aspect of this story which has equally shocking ramifications, and it cannot be wished-away by the fact-checkers so easily, and that is exactly what I discuss in the above video.
Every man and woman on this planet should think very carefully about the implications of the information discussed in the above video -- as well as the implications of the information discussed in this previous video in which the US Undersecretary of State admits the presence of "biological research facilities" positioned in the Ukraine.
Men and women around the world -- and especially men and women in the United States -- should consider the information presented in the above video, and then demand answers and accountability.
We're going to discuss fasting before we begin recommending specific foods. It's that important. [. . .] Not only has fasting been a historical part of the evolution of mankind, as an adaptation to food scarcity, it's also been incorporated into all of the major religions since their inception, both for the clarity of mind and the many health benefits. Most important for the purposes of our approach, fasting promotes the restoration of insulin sensitivity, which leads to an improvement in cognition. In our modern era, nonstop access to refined, sugary, processed, chemical-laden food leads to insulin resistance and metabolic inflexibility, whereby the source of fuel is limited to glucose, without the ability to utilize fats or their derivative ketones. Insulin resistance is central to the epidemic of chronic disease, including Alzheimer's. [. . .] This can be achieved in different ways. Some have early dinners, light dinners, or skip dinner. Alternatively, skipping breakfast is easier for others. Your home, work, and social demands along with your unique circadian rhythm can help guide the best fasting period for you. 93 - 94.
Regarding the centrality of this concept of insulin resistance, Dr. Bredesen says elsewhere in the text:
The bottom line is simple: We humans are not constructed to eat the amount of sugar and starch that we currently consume, any more than we are built to flap our arms and fly -- so we crash when we try either one of those (the crash just takes longer with sugar and starch, and includes hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, advanced aging, arthritis, and dementia). 79
and:
Simple carbohydrates, such as sugar, starch, and processed foods, demand high insulin production -- more than our bodies are designed to produce. Having such high insulin levels causes our cells to scream: "Enough, turn down the volume!" eventually creating resistance to the effects of insulin. This means that not only will your cells not handle sugar as well (and reduced use of glucose in parts of the brain is characteristic of Alzheimer's), they also won't have the survival effect of insulin in the brain -- yes, insulin is a wonderful trophic factor for your brain cells, meaning that it keeps them alive. So it's little wonder that turning down the response to insulin is an important contributor to the very neurodegenerative process that occurs in Alzheimer's -- in fact, brain insulin resistance is present in almost all cases of Alzheimer's. 78 - 79.
Thus, the fact that fasting helps to (among other things) restore insulin sensitivity becomes extremely important, especially now that the modern western diet has caused insulin resistance to become an epidemic, with severe impact on human health (Dr. Bredesen notes that in 1976, about 5 million Americans were diagnosed as diabetic -- whereas today the number is over 100 million).
Dr. Bredesen's book emphasizes as one of its central points that Alzheimer's is an extremely complex disease, with multiple causes (which is why it resists a simple "silver bullet" cure), but the fact that nearly all cases of Alzheimer's involve brain insulin resistance surely indicates that insulin resistance (which is aggressively on the rise due to the disastrous change in food quality and ingredients and in eating habits during the modern era) plays a critical role.
The fact that all traditional cultures practice regular fasting, and that ancient wisdom from many different traditions all describe fasting as important, should give us all the additional incentive we need to consider incorporating this practice into our lives.
Above is a video of a recent conversation between courageous investigative journalist Vanessa Beeley and the insightful Matthew Ehret of Canadian Patriot and the Rising Tide Foundation.
Without necessarily agreeing with every single view held by either Matt or Vanessa, I very much recommend looking at all of their work and considering their analysis very seriously.
In this interview, Matthew Ehret raises some very important subjects, particularly one referenced in the title of the interview -- the concept of an "extinction-level event."
By "extinction-level event," he means a catastrophe or cataclysm capable of wiping out the entire human race and causing mankind to become extinct. Examples he offers during the interview include a strike by a meteor or asteroid, or a severe coronal mass ejection from the sun which scores a direct hit on our planet.
He points out that, unlike the dinosaurs or other species of animals which cannot plan for such an event or take steps to overcome such a catastrophe, men and women are endowed with the ability to potentially do so.
However, he warns that the ruthless, unnatural, immoral and oligarchical cabal which has worked to successfully seize control of western nations and to enrich themselves at the expense of the welfare of the men and women of those nations have an agenda which is dedicated to impoverishing the people, reducing their ability to use their divinely-inspired gifts to their full potential, de-industrializing and allowing infrastructure to decay or even actively dismantling infrastructure, decreasing energy production and energy availability instead of increasing its availability, and ultimately (although they are careful not to say it too directly) working to achieve the hideous and misguided Malthusian goal of actually decreasing the population.
These oligarchs and their policies, as Matt Ehret explains quite brilliantly towards the end of this conversation with Vanessa Beeley, will actually ensure that humanity will be completely ill-prepared to deal with a potential extinction-level event, unless we find a way to oppose their Malthusian agenda and remove them from power.
The reason that this subject resonates so powerfully with my work in researching the profound wisdom encoded in the world's myths, myths which can be shown to be built upon an ancient world-wide system of celestial metaphor, is that the evidence in the myths themselves (and in the presence of this world-wide system, which is already fully-formed and active in the writings of the very earliest civilizations known to us today, such as the cultures of ancient Egypt, ancient Mesopotamia, and ancient India) demonstrates that our species has already survived an extinction-level event at least once in the distant past!
The most logical explanation for this incredible system of celestial metaphor, present in the myths of cultures from every inhabited continent and island of our earth, is that it is the remains of a system that once operated prior to some terrible cataclysm -- a cataclysm of such magnitude that the survivors of that event were isolated from one another and only preserved fragments of whatever existed before.
Researchers such as Graham Hancock, Professor Robert Schoch, the late great John Anthony West, Randall Carlson, and many others provide strong arguments that our planet experienced just such a catastrophe, possibly due to the impact of a comet or other large body from space, possibly due to a coronal mass ejection of such magnitude that it irradiated the surface of the earth to a degree that men and women had to live underground for some number of generations, and possibly due to an object that also triggered a coronal mass ejection prior to entering earth's atmosphere, effectively causing a combined catastrophe of an impact plus irradiation.
The ancient myths thus become a kind of a time capsule preserving wisdom from those who were wise enough to ensure that our species survived even such a cataclysm as those described (based on geological and archaeological evidence) by the researchers mentioned above. The incredible message of the myths includes healing our own internal psychic landscape and -- related to that -- living in harmony with others and with Nature, and establishing societies that will enable men and women to express their divinely-given gifts to the fullest extent possible, for the betterment of society as a whole.
The cabal that opposes these goals is dead-set on going against those principles -- principles preserved for us in a system that almost certainly comes from distant ancestors who were able to ensure humanity's survival through some kind of extinction-level catastrophe.
In doing so, they are also going against the flow of the Universe itself -- because the wisdom in the myths clearly articulates the ideal of living in harmony with the will of the gods and the order of heaven, and the myths dramatize again and again the fact that while it is certainly possible to oppose the will of heaven and to throw one's every energy against it, such a course of action never turns out well.
As the interview above makes clear -- and as researchers such as Graham Hancock, Robert Schoch, and Randall Carlson also emphasize in their work -- it has never been more urgent for humanity as a whole to wake up to the very real danger of an extinction-level event, and to oppose the folly of those whose actions could cause humanity to fail to survive the next one, even though our distant ancestors managed to ensure humanity's survival (and thus our own lives, today) through some horrific catastrophe which even now is not acknowledged or considered by their heirs.
Above is a one-hour conversation between Randall Carlson, Robert Dakota, and myself discussing the upcoming Grand Vision Tour in Sedona, Arizona later this month.
Tickets are still available to join Randall on one of two weekends, plus a Road Trip to sacred sites and pictographs in Arizon during the intervening week between the two weekends.
Weekend One features Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock and friends, April 15-17, 2022.
Weekend Two features Randall Carlson and myself and friends, April 22-24, 2022.
Attending one weekend entitles you to the video content from presentations given on the other weekend, available online afterwards.
That's where you are also able to find details about the Road Trip during the week in between (I will only be present during Weekend Two, from April 22 through 24).
