Through workshops such as today's. We seek to advance Yale University's mission to create, disseminate, and preserve knowledge. So why are we here?

And not only pass on knowledge to the next generation, but also wisdom, a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. Yale's motto is Lux et Veritas in Latin and Urim et Tumim in Hebrew, which means light and truth. So through the exploration of Dante and the great books. we hope you will encounter beauty light and truth and also be able to wrestle with humanity's oldest questions what does it mean to be human how should we live what is worth striving for and that's why we're so excited to be doing ### 3:21 seg-0008 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0008` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0008](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0008) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=201s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=201s) this workshop together and don't you answer these questions yeah and without ### 3:25 seg-0009 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0009` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0009](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0009) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=205s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=205s) further ado I'll turn back to John and begin our journey without in the great ### 3:30 seg-0010 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0010` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0010](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0010) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=210s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=210s) books okay thank you so much okay so as you see from the screen we will be using this website that anyone can use it's all free the website address is there so the divine comedy is not into three parts inferno regulatory and paradise what we will do which is very strange is we are actually start in part three it will become obvious to you over time why we're doing that okay so today we're going to start with cunt one of paradise and the translation we will use is manabong so you are watching this on the live screen please go to the website or you can just actually just watch the screen because we will have the entire text on the screen but this web this is extremely valuable and we will be using it this entire two weeks.

Thanks. Heaven is a place of fulfillment, peace, and harmony where every entity can coexist. Negative feelings and behavior do not occur. We feel elevated by the fact that it feels like a destination and we are the best versions of ourselves. It's like we're above all what we have been through to only keep the best. Heaven has more to my eyes of a feeling aspect than a visual one. I could still imagine having bright vibrant colors, flowers, and animals. Great, that's beautiful. ### 5:31 seg-0014 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0014` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0014](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0014) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=331s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=331s) Thank you so much.

Yeah, that's not the answer I want though. Yeah, well, that's a surprise because I didn't think that was the answer you want. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them in the Q &A. If there exists a heaven in any means of the word, for any religion, I would think that it's a place of joy, but also of exclusion and stagnation. The ideas of heaven are so radically different from one religion to another that reconciliation seems impossible, in which case heaven must be segregated. There is no change in heaven, it being in definition a deathless and perfect place, and so heaven is stagnation. Heaven is a construct comprised of the idea of what is good, held by each individual faithful. It is not essentially good except to the one who created it. ### 6:21 seg-0016 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0016` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0016](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0016) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=381s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=381s) It is the ultimate expression of life -faith. Okay, so that's very interesting because to answer this question you're using logic and reason, and this is something that they might ask you to do on an AP literature examination. For this class, if we are going to embrace Dante, we have to use our intuition and imagination, okay? That's something that will become much more clear as we read Dante, but the imagination is what will lead you to the true truth. ### 6:52 seg-0017 - Speaker: SPEAKER_02 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0017` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0017](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0017) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=412s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=412s) Alright we have got someone here. Yes? To me, paradise is a place for eternal peace and happiness. There is no past and future, just eternal. Everyone there is full of meaning and purpose. The kind of joy and beauty in heaven is unfathomable. All the love and consciousness is intertwined together. ### 7:14 seg-0018 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0018` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0018](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0018) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=434s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=434s) That's beautiful.

I think heaven is for us to meet God and to have a spiritual and intellectual connection with God and other divine forces. It's a place where we put down our ego and fear and engage in the act of salvation and personal enlightenment. Good, yeah.

But then what are the possibilities? How can we reconcile this paradox? ### 14:32 seg-0032 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0032` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0032](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0032) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=872s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=872s) Yes? I think maybe it's because like for example God is more present in heaven but for example in the infernal we can because I've read the infernal actually and I can clearly see that like God's presence is less there so maybe we can reconcile this way. So I think that this doesn't contradict with his omnipotence or his omnipresence. It just means that he's more concentrated in a certain like dimension. Right but then the question then is like why does heaven and hell exist? ### 15:06 seg-0033 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0033` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0033](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0033) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=906s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=906s) God can make everything perfect, right? So why not to make everything heaven? Why does heaven and hell exist? Yes? Because in theology that would be the lack of God or the lack of God's presence. ### 15:18 seg-0034 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0034` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0034](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0034) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=918s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=918s) So there's free choice and freedom. Yes. There has to be free will so that there should be a heaven and a hell. ### 15:23 seg-0035 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0035` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0035](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0035) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=923s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=923s) Yes that's the correct answer. Yes there has to be. If you are to allow for free will you must allow for heaven and hell to exist. Can you explain why? Because if everything is heaven then there is no free choice. ### 15:37 seg-0036 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0036` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0036](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0036) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=937s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=937s) If there's choice then there will be consequence and there will be the wrong choice I guess and what happens with the wrong choice is probably hell or the lack of God's presence. ### 15:48 seg-0037 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0037` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0037](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0037) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=948s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=948s) Anyone else? Yes? Yeah maybe I think because we are just you know your flesh your body so if we got bodied then we must be locked right because we can't just get out of it but if there's possibility that people can get out of your body try to imagine okay I used to have such kind of nightmare when I was uh you know sleeping in my bed and I thought I was just out of there out of my body that really made me feel so so so crazy but what if there's really possibility that people really can get off your body just like consciousness or something maybe so maybe that's the reason why they have this theory is because people have their thoughts not only the body the flesh but also God's idea so they got thoughts maybe if the thoughts can be existed into another world just like safety in the cloud service or ### 16:40 seg-0038 -

So that means he has to die to his old self to enter into this new form of pure existence. ### 25:34 seg-0073 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0073` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0073](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0073) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1534s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1534s) CAROL ANNE RIDDLE JR.: Yeah. So the idea here is that the conflict is between himself, OK? There is the Dante, the pilgrim, who is trying to see God, but there's Dante, the pilgrim, who has ego and fear and doubts, OK? And so this could be a struggle in the heavens. Dante will have to struggle with himself in order to let go of himself. Let go of his ego and his fears to truly understand the meaning of God. OK? And Beatrice will be his guide in this, OK? So we've established our three Dantes. And it's really important for us to understand that Dante, the poet, Dante, the real person, and Dante, the pilgrim, who is speaking now? Who's the person speaking? Who says, oh, good Apollo, for this final task, make me the vessel of your excellence? Who's speaking? The poet, right? That's the protagonist, the poet, all right? So what's happening is that this journey that Dante went on in the heavens, this is a long time ago. ### 26:51 seg-0074 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0074` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0074](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0074) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1611s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1611s) And Dante, the poet, is sitting at home, wherever he is, he's actually in exile, and he's trying to remember and write down what he experienced 20 years ago. Does that make sense? And what he's saying is that what he experienced 20 years ago was so beautiful, so beyond our comprehension that he's lost the memory of what happened 20 years ago. And so now he has to reconstruct, reimagine the experience. And to do that, he calls upon not only Apollo, but all the muses. Who live on the two mountains of Parnassus, right? So not just Apollo, but every possible source of inspiration he will call upon, he will invoke in order to truly remember what he experienced 20 years ago. Okay, does that make sense? What's the paradox here? There's a paradox in all this. What is it? He's Christian. Yeah, guys, this is a Christian text. ### 28:04 seg-0075 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0075` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0075](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0075) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1684s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1684s) This is a Christian text. It's meant for Christians. This is a Catholic world. The Catholic Church is in charge, and he's calling upon Apollo, right? Why is he doing this? What's he saying here? Yeah? ### 28:31 seg-0076 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0076` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0076](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0076) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1711s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1711s) So this just reminds me of the text of Gregory of Monmouth, who is actually a monk. He's literally part of the church, and before he wrote about King Arthur, he wrote in the preface, Oh, Apollo helped me to write King Arthur very well. So first off, maybe this is generally accepted within the current social atmosphere to invoke Apollo as an author, to ask him to make your writing really good. ### 29:01 seg-0077 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0077` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0077](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0077) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1741s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1741s) Okay, all right. So you just made a statement. Maybe this is just accepted at this time, but we know for a fact it's not accepted at this time. Carol, can you go to Google, please? Sure. And what we're going to do is we're going to Google medieval Christian art, okay? We're going to Google medieval Christian art, and we're just going to show images, okay? When you see the images, it's pretty consistent, okay? Can you go to images? Yes. Okay, guys. Can you see the images? There are lots and lots of images. This is all Christian art. What do you not see? ### 29:46 seg-0078 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0078` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0078](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0078) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1786s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1786s) You don't see the common man. ### 29:48 seg-0079 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0079` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0079](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0079) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1788s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1788s) Exactly, okay? You don't see anyone. You don't see any man. These are all sayings or just figures from the Bible, okay? That's point one. There is no common man in any of this. What's number two? What's another stark difference? These are all Christian figures, right? There's no paganism in any of these paintings. You don't have great gods. You don't have Apollo anywhere. Keep on looking. It doesn't exist. Why? Because the church banned these things, right? So, yes. There are Christians who are doing Volca Polo, but it's not a common thing. It's banned by the church, okay? So one thing to keep in mind is that throughout history, elite education is very different from popular art, okay? What the elite study at university, it's going to be very different from what you see in popular culture. Okay? And so the way they reconcile this is that at this time in history, this year 1321, when Dante is publishing the Divine Comedy or making it public, 1321, the elite learn Latin. ### 31:20 seg-0080 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0080` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0080](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0080) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1880s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1880s) And Latin is a secret language of the elite, right? And there you can invoke Apollo and it doesn't really matter. And then there is the vernacular, right? What people experience in everyday life. Okay? And that is heavily censored. Now, what is revolutionary of the Divine Comedy is that it is written not in Latin, which is the language of the elite, it's written in the vernacular, in Tuscan, which is what every ordinary person can read and access, okay? So this is a, the Divine Comedy, it's an act of rebellion in many ways, it's an act of revolution. If it was written in Latin, this would not be a problem. Okay? But it was written in the vernacular. Okay? And this is why the Divine Comedy will become the blueprint for not just the Renaissance, the Italian Renaissance, but all of modernity itself. ### 32:15 seg-0081 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0081` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0081](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0081) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1935s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1935s) Because the ideas in the Divine Comedy become central to modernity and the Renaissance. The other thing that's really important about art and popular culture at this time is there are no protagonists. Sorry. No, they are protagonists. But the common man is not in the artwork, it's not in the literature. But who's the main protagonist of the Divine Comedy? A common man, Dante. Okay? Individualism, individuality. So all these concepts we take for granted today were actually revolutionary and it was Dante who would launch this revolution. Okay? So this is not just a poem, it's an intellectual revolution. Okay? It's an act of courage. It's an act of faith. All right? So let's continue to read. Carol, enter into my breast. ### 33:18 seg-0082 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0082` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0082](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0082) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1998s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=1998s) Enter into my breast.

Okay, good. So the thing about Divine Comedy is that there are a lot of allusions in here. Okay? So... What Dante's going to do is he's going to reference a lot of mythology surrounding Apollo. So Apollo had a competition with another poet, Marcius, and they basically had a competition about who would be the better poet and Marcius' laws and Apollo basically skinned him alive. Okay? It's a pretty gruesome story, but there's a lot of mythology being driven into here. Keep on going. ### 34:16 seg-0084 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0084` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0084](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0084) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2056s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2056s) O godly force, if you so lend yourself to me, that I might show the shadow of the blessed realm inscribed within my mind. ### 34:25 seg-0085 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0085` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0085](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0085) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2065s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2065s) So again, this is paradoxical, where he is invoking Apollo in order to scry a Christian heaven.

And basically that person was running from Apollo because Apollo was chasing her. And that person told Athena, oh, please don't let Apollo be my lover. And Athena turned her into a laurel tree. And Apollo can no longer be her lover. ### 35:39 seg-0093 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0093` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0093](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0093) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2139s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2139s) Right. But Apollo loved her so much that he also makes the laurel tree his symbol, right? Yeah. So if you are a champion, a poet, he gives you the laurel leaves. Okay? So not only is Dante invoking Apollo, asking for his divine power, but he is also remembering or reciting the stories that make Apollo famous. Okay? What point is he trying to make here? Why is he doing this? Yes? ### 36:30 seg-0094 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0094` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0094](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0094) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2190s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2190s) I wonder if he is trying to reinvent heaven on the concept of paradise, that it's not just a Christian paradise, but it could also coexist with the Greek idea of heaven or gods, maybe? ### 36:43 seg-0095 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0095` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0095](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0095) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2203s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2203s) Right. The problem, though, is that the Greeks didn't have a concept of heaven, right? ### 36:49 seg-0096 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0096` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0096](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0096) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2209s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2209s) Yeah.

Right. So what is he trying to do here? So for Dante, he is trying to think about what creativity is, right? He's trying to think about what knowledge is. And for him, if you are truly to have knowledge, if you're truly to have knowledge, if you're truly to extract your imagination, what would you need to do? And how would that be different from the teachings of the Catholic Church at this time in history? ### 37:47 seg-0098 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0098` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0098](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0098) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2267s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2267s) Well, he gives me the impression of someone who worships enlightenment regardless of source. So he is seeking the truth regardless of source. It could be Apollo. It could be God. He'll take whatever will show him the truth. ### 38:01 seg-0099 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0099` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0099](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0099) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2281s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2281s) Yeah. Yeah. That's correct. Right? The idea is if you really want to know the truth, you have to be open -minded. But not only do you have to be open -minded, but you have to rigorously draw on from different traditions. Okay? Because these traditions exist for a reason. And you need to combine these traditions in order to reach a truth. And guess what, guys? This becomes the basic premise of the Renaissance. Right? Okay? So, Carol, can we do a Google search? Sure. Renaissance art. Okay? So this is Christian art, right, you guys? Yes. It's pretty static. It's just depictions of biblical passages. Right? But when you go to the Renaissance art, you see how vibrant it is. It's drawing from different traditions. Okay? So can you show this? Okay. Let me give you the School of Athens. Okay? So this is one of the most famous Renaissance paintings, the School of Athens. Okay. Yes. I see you, Peter. ### 39:09 seg-0100 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0100` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0100](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0100) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2349s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2349s) Okay, look. The School of Athens, right, is drawing from all possible traditions. You just look at this painting, and we don't have time to look at this painting, but it's not just Christian thinkers. It's Muslim thinkers. It's pagan thinkers. Okay? And the idea is implanted in the Divine Comedy. This painting would not have been possible without Dante. Okay? It was Dante who basically said, virtually to know God, virtually to discover the truth, we must embrace all possible religions, all possible philosophies. Yes? Did you have a question? Okay. Peter, we have a question from the livestream. ### 39:56 seg-0101 - Speaker: SPEAKER_00 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0101` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0101](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0101) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2396s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2396s) So livestream right now is not working well.

We have to. It's fine. I mean, like, yeah, it's just in there. Yeah. Okay. We'll continue. Okay? All right. So do you see what's happening? Okay? We have now this radical leap from Christian medieval art to Renaissance art. You can see the vastness of the difference. It's Dante that's doing this. Okay? Yes? ### 40:31 seg-0103 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0103` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0103](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0103) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2431s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2431s) I remember going to Italy, and then I remember seeing the medieval art. The babies look really scary. Because I think. The church guy explained that baby is supposed to be Jesus when he was a baby. But when he was a baby, he was still this, like, divine figure. So that's why they drew him like a middle -aged man. But in Renaissance art, they start drawing, like, baby faces and real human proportions, like this idea of individuality, as you expressed earlier. So they started trying to see humans as they really are, rather than what spiritually, like, religiously they should represent. ### 41:07 seg-0104 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0104` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0104](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0104) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2467s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2467s) Yeah, exactly. So the major difference. The major difference between medieval art and Renaissance art is that with medieval art, you're trying to condition the Christian in a certain mentality, one of fear and humility, to be always afraid, but also to be humble before God. Whereas Renaissance, the Renaissance becomes the launching pad for modernity because the Renaissance is trying to activate human imagination. Okay? And the way you do that is you make humans a central character in the story of humanity. Okay? And that's what's happening in Dante, where Dante makes himself a central character. And this is, again, unique at this time. But also, you're trying to show the beauty and the power of the human imagination. Okay? All right. All right. Let's keep on going. Sorry. Did you have a question? ### 42:08 seg-0105 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0105` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0105](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0105) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2528s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2528s) No. I just have a comment. About... I think he's quite advanced in his theology, that he believes if you want to invoke the truth, you have to draw from many sources. But the fact that it's from Greek as well, it's kind of the same as how Christianity started with Jesus being born from Virgin Mary, which is a very Greek kind of storyline. So maybe he's trying to show his theology ideas that Jesus, you know, like the Christian God himself, you know, uses a Greek traditional way to make people know that he's the son of God. ### 42:37 seg-0106 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0106` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0106](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0106) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2557s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2557s) Okay. All right. So a couple comments. First of all, let's start with precise morphology. He is not a theologian. He is a poet. This is poetry, not theology. Okay? There's a lot of theology, there's a lot of philosophy in this, but it's poetry. This is a major difference. Okay? Theology is trying to explain religion. Poetry is to activate the imagination. Okay? The religious imagination. That's point one. Point two is everything that you're saying... Okay? Poetry is not raw. Well, you're saying it from the year 2026, and this was written in the year 1321, okay? And so back then, people would just have very different conception of the universe. Basically, at this point in history, the Catholic Church is trying to create a Christian theology that is self -contained. Okay? That is distinct from all other traditions. And it's in conflict with other traditions, especially the Muslim tradition, which is at this point in history, the most powerful religious tradition in the world. ### 43:48 seg-0107 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0107` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0107](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0107) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2628s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2628s) Okay? So keep this in mind, guys. A lot of things you think, it could be because you're looking at it from a 2026 lens. All right? But remember, this year, 1321. Okay? So it's hard to do, but keep this in the back of your mind. Okay? All right. Any more comments or questions before I move on? Okay. Let's keep on going. ### 44:15 seg-0108 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0108` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0108](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0108) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2655s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2655s) So seldom, Father, are those garlands gathered for triumph of a ruler or a poet, a sign of fault or shame in human wills, that when knee and branches can incite someone to long and thirst for them, the light must fill the happy Delphic deity. ### 44:34 seg-0109 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0109` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0109](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0109) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2674s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2674s) So he's, again, talking to Apollo, right? He's calling him Father. Not capital F Father, but Father. Okay? So he is invoking Apollo as a lesser god, which is sacrilege, by the way, in this world. Okay?

So let's try to unpack what's going on. Okay? So he's saying he wants to reach Apollo. He wants to summon and invoke Apollo. And there are many ways you can do that. But the way that links four circles with three crosses is the best way. Okay? So now what we're going to do is we're going to try to figure out what the four crosses with, sorry, four circles with three crosses is. And by the way. Okay? Everything that I am saying is my own interpretation. Okay? But I think that it's really important to figure out what four circles and three crosses are. Okay? So you basically have four circles and three crosses. Four circles, three crosses. All right? So now what we're going to try to do is use your imagination to figure out what this thing is. Okay? All right. So let's try to make this as simple as possible. Three crosses.

So four suns is what? But problem of the fourth season, right? So this is the, OK, so again, it's really important we figure this out. The four equinoxes, right? So you have the two equinoxes as well as the two solstices. And then that would be the four seasons. So that's what these four circles really are. Then you have the three crosses.

So now we have a paradox. What's a pagan tradition doing with a Christian tradition? Christian tradition is clearly the three crosses. The four circles are clearly the pagan tradition. There's a paradox here. So let's figure out this paradox. If you were to be transported back 3,000 years into the pagan world, OK? Can somebody explain to me what the pagan world is like and how you would be, you would feel, I don't actually like this place. You feel uncomfortable in the pagan world. Why? What makes the pagan world different from our world, yes? ### 49:28 seg-0125 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0125` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0125](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0125) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2968s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=2968s) So just to preface this, I am neo -pagan. So some of my idealizations of paganism might be, well, idealized. But what I think is, the paganism, is very different from the paganism. is that paganism is more primal and more varied. So we're used to an Anglo -Christian world. We're used to a homogenous world. We're used to people agreeing with our ideas. And when they don't, we argue with them. But the pagan world is almost more tolerant in a way. There's more gods. There's more opinions. And you're likely to lie to someone who don't agree with you. ### 50:01 seg-0126 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0126` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0126](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0126) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3001s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3001s) OK, so this is confusing because neopaganism, the modern pagan world, it embraces many different traditions, including Judaism, animism. But throughout most of human history, if you're a pagan, what idea, what thing were you most concerned with? What were you really concerned with as a pagan, yes? That you don't upset the gods. ### 50:28 seg-0127 - Speaker: SPEAKER_03 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0127` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0127](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0127) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3028s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3028s) Why?

And this is what Immanuel Kant tells us. What time and space is, is space is sensation. Sensation is made possible through the five senses, okay? Distance is because you have a body. If you didn't have a body, you wouldn't have a conception of distance, okay? And what time is, time is sequence, which is cause and effect, caused by sensation, right? I first had this feeling, then I had that feeling. That's time. So a body is impossible for you to experience time and space, okay? So we are in a universe where time and space don't exist. Everything exists at once and forever, okay? Different universes exist at the same time. This is why all this is possible. And what Dante is doing is he's using words to decipher this universe, to make it ### 1:02:00 seg-0157 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0157` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0157](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0157) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3720s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3720s) comprehensible to us, because we are stuck in time and space, but they are beyond time and space, okay?

And how are these spirits invoked? Or are they everywhere at the same time? Or how are these spirits invoked in humans? Or is it through emotions? I don't understand the question. Can you repeat that? Yeah, these spirits, there's multiple, right? So... And in the Greek world, they... I mean, in the Greek world, you would say they did have a body because, you know, there's all these gods that came down to Earth, so they had to, like, inhabit a body in the end. ### 1:02:45 seg-0159 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0159` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0159](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0159) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3765s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3765s) But in the Greek world, what happened was these spirits took possession, you understand? They didn't come to us as material forms. They took possession of animals, like Zeus, or they took possession of people. Right. But then they were able to receive time and space. That's right. But only if they can take possession of someone's body. ### 1:03:10 seg-0160 - Speaker: SPEAKER_03 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0160` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0160](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0160) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3790s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3790s) Okay. ### 1:03:11 seg-0161 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0161` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0161](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0161) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3791s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3791s) Okay?

Where I only was the part of me that you created last, you, governing the heavens, know, it was your light that raised me. When that wheel which you make eternal through the heavens longing for you drew me with the harmony you temper and distinguish, the fire of the sun then seemed to me to kindle so much of the sky that rain or river never formed so broad a light. The newness of the sound and the great light incited me to learn their cause. I was more keen than I had ever been before. And she who read me as I read myself to quiet the commotion in my mind opened her lips before I opened mine. ### 1:04:29 seg-0163 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0163` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0163](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0163) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3869s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3869s) Okay, all right, so do you guys understand the sequence of events, right? So he starts off invoking a pole and says, I had this great dream or experience 20 years ago. Please, Apollo, give me the power to describe what I saw with words because what I saw was beyond time and space. It is beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals, okay, like, like us, the readers today. Okay. Now what he's doing is he's now describing as a pilgrim his experience 20 years ago with Beatrice.

You cannot see what you would see if you dispelled it.

Okay. So in order for Dante to understand what's going on, the universe has constructed the universe in a way for Dante to process. So it's linear. There is a bit of time and space, okay? And what Beatrice is saying to her, to him basically is, here you have to completely rely on your intuition and your imagination, okay? Do not try to use logic. Do not try to take what you learn. Okay. If the power of the universe is not in on earth and applied here, it will just confuse you. Okay? So before you can meet God, we have to go on this journey to dispel your false imaginings. Okay? Let go of your ego, let go of your doubts, let go of your fear so that you can truly embrace God. ### 1:06:33 seg-0167 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0167` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0167](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0167) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3993s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=3993s) Yes? I don't know if this is going to be talked about later, but is this kind of also an allegory for Christianity, because some sort of Christian apologists have argued before that.

Because this is a question that most high school students are gonna have. If you're in high school, logic does matter. Could be you have to take tests, okay? But that's the point of logic, to take tests and to pass tests, and make the teacher give you a good grade, okay? Logic is a system we develop in order to control the way you behave and think in our world, okay? But our world is just a subset of the entire universe. And quite honestly, there are many issues with logic, okay? So for example, mathematics and science really constrain your capacity to perceive the world. And it's something that will become much more clear as you continue to read the dichromedy, okay? All right, but what I mean will say is that logic art changed chains, okay? To keep you in a certain mindset.

And there is a logic, a reason, a coherence to the universe. What Dante's going to do is try to figure out what this logic is. What is the organizing principle of the universe?

Even as a shape may often not accord with art's intent, since matter may be unresponsive, death. So from this course, the creature strays at times because he has the power once impelled to swerve elsewhere. As lightning from a cloud is seen to fall, so does the first impulse when man has been diverted by false pleasure, turn him toward earth. You should. You should.

If you're light and you are still down, then you should be worried. ### 1:17:08 seg-0187 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0187` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0187](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0187) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4628s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4628s) Incorrect. OK. Yeah, good guess, though. That's not what she's saying at all. What do you think the problem with this would be? Why would Dante take objection to this idea? You said that God assigns weights, right? Why would Dante be angry about this idea? ### 1:17:32 seg-0188 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0188` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0188](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0188) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4652s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4652s) Technically, he's a human. However, right here, he is on the doorstep of heaven. So how did he get there? ### 1:17:41 seg-0189 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0189` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0189](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0189) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4661s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4661s) OK. So let's first try to unpack this idea. God assigns weights, OK? And there are lots of Christians who do believe this. OK? This is something that John Calvin would argue. But Dante is a Christian. He would find this really objectionable. He'd be very angry at this idea. Why? Very judgmental. Exactly. It's unjust. Do you understand? Like, how can you justify giving someone a heavy weight and someone a light weight? Why would God do that? What's the rationale for that? ### 1:18:16 seg-0190 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0190` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0190](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0190) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4696s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4696s) And there's also a mention of many forms of natures. So multiple standards, multiple perspectives. ### 1:18:24 seg-0191 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0191` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0191](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0191) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4704s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4704s) Exactly, OK? So God assigns everywhere. OK? And that's why he said, never be judgmental. That goes against the nature of God. OK? So God is not judgmental. God is all forgiving, all generous. So that can't possibly be the answer, that God has assigned weights. So what's another explanation? Yes? ### 1:18:48 seg-0192 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0192` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0192](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0192) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4728s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4728s) But if he didn't assign weights, and if he isn't judgmental, then how are some people in heaven and some people are in the inferno? ### 1:18:54 seg-0193 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0193` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0193](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0193) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4734s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4734s) Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm asking you. Yes? Of course. In the present, we give ourselves the weights. Exactly. Can you explain that? Because we have, obviously, through this conception, we have free will. So if we, obviously, end up with the heavy weights, it's because we've done the greatest sin. What does God? Yes? Yes? ### 1:19:15 seg-0194 - Speaker: SPEAKER_03 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0194` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0194](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0194) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4755s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4755s) Well, also, similar to what he said, it's just that we can't forgive ourselves. So we're not able to, like, we could forgive ourselves, but some people can't. Some people are sins so great that they're not in the, they don't have the power to forgive themselves. So they think they don't have the power. ### 1:19:36 seg-0195 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0195` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0195](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0195) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4776s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4776s) Good. OK. All right. So what is God doing? What is God, what does God want? What is God doing? The Ephesians tells us explicitly what God is doing. What is God doing? What is God's action? What is God trying to do? Yes? ### 1:19:55 seg-0196 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0196` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0196](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0196) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4795s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4795s) So if the weights are the ones you put on yourselves, then God is trying to tell you to take them off yourself. ### 1:20:04 seg-0197 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0197` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0197](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0197) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4804s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4804s) So what he's just saying is that God is trying to draw you to him. You understand? Right? He's like a tractor beam. Right? He's locked you on. He's going to draw you to him. That's what God is trying to do. And like, what are you doing? ### 1:20:23 seg-0198 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0198` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0198](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0198) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4823s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4823s) I imagine God's like a, he's like watching a movie, right? He's sitting back and watching everybody on their own free will, navigating and exploring their different perspectives of their different views of things and as they kind of go towards him or away from him. ### 1:20:40 seg-0199 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0199` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0199](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0199) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4840s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4840s) Is God watching you? ### 1:20:43 seg-0200 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0200` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0200](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0200) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4843s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4843s) Yeah. ### 1:20:48 seg-0201 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0201` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0201](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0201) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4848s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4848s) Why would God say God is not watching you? ### 1:20:55 seg-0202 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0202` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0202](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0202) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4855s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4855s) Well, I say God just keep watching all of us. Yes, I say this kind of confession, and if you think you're guilty, then you have a thought that God is there. For example, if you just do something and you think it's okay, nobody watch it, but your guilty is due there. So if your guilty is due there, it means that God is there. So maybe it is what I thought. Yes? ### 1:21:16 seg-0203 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0203` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0203](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0203) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4876s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4876s) Again, is it more our agency, are we watching God rather than him watching us? Okay, can you explain that? Um, it's more like, obviously when we decide within ourselves that we want salvation or we want to not simply do the right thing, we will look to God. It's not that he's sort of watching us. Exactly. ### 1:21:35 seg-0204 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0204` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0204](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0204) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4895s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4895s) So, so the key is this, God is always welcoming you, okay? God is always trying to draw you to him, but because of the law of free will, of free will, of free choice, it's entirely your choice what to do. You could welcome God, embrace God, and then move towards the light, which is what Thotty is doing, but you can also turn away from God and do whatever you want, okay? And this is how the universe works. And this is the basic premise that you have to work with. Like everything that you do is entirely because you choose to do it, even though you may not think it's your choice, okay? This is the fundamental law of the universe. It's all, everything is free choice. So God doesn't, he's not going to watch you, God's not going to welcome you, it's entirely your choice whether or not to move towards God for your actions, okay, for your desire and will. ### 1:22:39 seg-0205 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0205` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0205](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0205) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4959s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4959s) Does that make sense? Okay. And this is the premise that Beatrice is going to elaborate on, um, in the book. And expand on as they move across the heavens, to let God understand, every two, this means you choose to do it. And why would God give you free choice? And why is God doing this? Why is free choice, free will, the ultimate law of the universe? Why has God constructed the universe in such a way? Yes? ### 1:23:14 seg-0206 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0206` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0206](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0206) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4994s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=4994s) Because that way you are willingly, uh, loving him, or like following his, his rules or stuff. So that you're not forced. You're not forced to enter heaven or forced to, uh, obey God's commands. ### 1:23:28 seg-0207 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0207` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0207](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0207) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5008s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5008s) Okay. Okay. Yes. That is true. But I'm saying like, why does God give you free will? ### 1:23:35 seg-0208 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0208` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0208](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0208) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5015s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5015s) It's a very physics, imagination, if God is, imagine God as energy and God, uh, energy tends to accumulate, tends to want more of it. So, so as, as you have free will, all these agents have a free will gravitate towards that source of energy, that source of energy becomes God. ### 1:23:56 seg-0209 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0209` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0209](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0209) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5036s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5036s) I think it makes sense, but I'm not going to guess. Is it kind of because God doesn't have his own free will, so he uses it through us? ### 1:24:07 seg-0210 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0210` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0210](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0210) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5047s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5047s) Uh, God doesn't have free will. That, that, that, that doesn't make any sense. He's God, right? ### 1:24:12 seg-0211 - Speaker: SPEAKER_08 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0211` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0211](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0211) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5052s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5052s) Yes? Like he can't sit. Yes? Uh, I think it's exactly because God is omnipotent. He can do everything he wants, but he chooses to, uh, give the freedom of choice to people. But why? Just to see what people react. That's an example. ### 1:24:27 seg-0212 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0212` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0212](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0212) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5067s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5067s) Is that an experiment? No, he's experimenting on us. We're, we're, we're like mice in a, in a, in a lab, right?

Like, like if, if they are willing to do good, that's actually good. ### 1:25:17 seg-0218 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0218` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0218](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0218) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5117s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5117s) Okay. So again, God wants to create good, so he has to create evil as well. So it's all kind of an experiment, right? You have to ask yourself this question. Would God actually do any of this? Yes? ### 1:25:31 seg-0219 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0219` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0219](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0219) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5131s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5131s) Uh, this is a bit of a radical opinion, but what if God just didn't create us? ### 1:25:37 seg-0220 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0220` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0220](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0220) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5137s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5137s) Then he's not God. ### 1:25:38 seg-0221 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0221` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0221](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0221) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5138s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5138s) No. Like, what if we're independent from him? ### 1:25:43 seg-0222 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0222` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0222](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0222) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5143s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5143s) Okay.

Right. So, um, Dante writes, everything has an order. Right? That's right. So, you know, rocks fall downward, the fire burns upwards. So it seems like those things don't really have free will, but as humans, we can stray from the path and like, whatever you write. So, so as humans, like we can, we don't, we don't automatically have that order. ### 1:26:29 seg-0226 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0226` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0226](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0226) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5189s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5189s) So. Okay. So we know this free will. Okay. We know what makes us. This is our free will. But I'm saying, why do we have this? Why did God give us this? ### 1:26:39 seg-0227 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0227` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0227](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0227) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5199s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5199s) Yes. Because God is actually within us. So he wants to experience it. ### 1:26:45 seg-0228 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0228` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0228](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0228) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5205s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5205s) God is within us. So he wants to experience free will, but God only has free will. God is God. God can do whatever he wants. In the material world. In the material world. Huh? ### 1:27:00 seg-0229 - Speaker: SPEAKER_09 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0229` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0229](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0229) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5220s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5220s) Does God care? Yeah. ### 1:27:01 seg-0230 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0230` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0230](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0230) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5221s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5221s) You keep on, keep on going. ### 1:27:02 seg-0231 - Speaker: SPEAKER_09 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0231` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0231](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0231) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5222s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5222s) Well, I'll just say, rather than making experiments, I would like to say that God would like to play a role, like much more like a judger, because if people have the free will, they will do, do this stuff, follow their true hearts by their true meaning. So that means there will be no camouflage that can make someone feel confused. Then the God can make the real judgment based on people's action and their true thoughts. Okay. All right. ### 1:27:26 seg-0232 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0232` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0232](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0232) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5246s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5246s) So guys, again, this is a problem because you're overthinking this. It's not that hard. That's what we do. It is. It is. You were a child, okay? How do you know your parents truly love you? What is that one signal that your parents truly love you unconditionally? What is it? You can do whatever you want. Exactly. Free will. ### 1:27:55 seg-0233 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0233` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0233](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0233) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5275s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5275s) You understand? Well, how about just kind of like a judge in the law is called motivation. God is not a judge. Okay. ### 1:28:04 seg-0234 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0234` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0234](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0234) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5284s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5284s) It's kind of motivation like. No, no, no. No. Okay. God is perfection. God is a creator, right? And God, to show he loves everything in the universe, gives freedom to the universe. Free will. Does that make sense? Okay. And again, just think about your parents. Just think about how, if you're a parent, how you treat your child. How do you know you truly, your parents truly love you? Because your parents support you unconditionally. You understand? That's what God is. God loves you unconditionally. God would never, ever ask you to do anything. God will not ask you to do good. God will not ask you to do evil. Okay? God will not ask you to aspire to him. Free will is the ultimate law of the universe because that is how God expresses his love to you. God exists. He exists. He exists to love you. Does that make sense? ### 1:29:12 seg-0235 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0235` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0235](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0235) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5352s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5352s) Well, I don't know, but you know, I'm also a father, and I think my sons, I can't just give them unconditional love because if I think they're conditional enough, you don't take responsibility for him. For example, if he's not my son, he can do everything, what he wants. I don't care. But if he's my son, I have to tell him. You're my son. You have to... I do not want him to turn to the bait. ### 1:29:33 seg-0236 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0236` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0236](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0236) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5373s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5373s) I don't want him to turn to the bait. We're trying to be divine comedy, we're trying to understand what Dante is saying here, yes? ### 1:29:43 seg-0237 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0237` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0237](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0237) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5383s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5383s) I kind of hold the same opinion, where it's like, yeah, I agree with the idea that if someone loves you, they will support you unconditionally. And if you want to do something, they will support that. But I don't think it's giving, it's the same thing as free will. Because the free will is saying, if I don't want to go to sleep, my parents just won't let me go to, just let me stay up all night. And if I don't want to eat my vegetables, my parents let me eat candy. That doesn't seem like them showing that they love you. So I don't think that free will necessarily is the same thing as being supportive, no matter what. ### 1:30:22 seg-0238 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0238` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0238](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0238) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5422s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5422s) Yes, but you understand, there are rules to the universe, okay? For example, we don't have the power to rule the entire universe, you understand? There are limits to what we can do. God does set limits to us. Does that make sense? Okay? Yes? ### 1:30:43 seg-0239 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0239` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0239](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0239) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5443s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5443s) Maybe I want to pose a question at the very least. It seems like Eve ate the apple from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And prior to that, Adam and Eve didn't have knowledge of this good and evil, which perhaps would negate a bit of this free will without understanding the dichotomy. And so perhaps you could say either humans took for themselves this free will, or that they were deceived, and they were forced upon them by the serpent or the devil, or whoever you want to say, and were forced this free will. Does that seem to fit at all here? ### 1:31:30 seg-0240 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0240` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0240](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0240) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5490s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5490s) Um, okay. So, yes? ### 1:31:36 seg-0241 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0241` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0241](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0241) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5496s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5496s) But the fact that the tree existed in the garden in the first place, already shows that God has given free will from the beginning. So he has, like, you know, a recommendation. I recommend you not to eat this fruit, but if you want, it's there, you know? So from the very beginning, there is free will. It's not like humans seek free will, got the fruit, and then got free will. But it's like, it's there. ### 1:32:01 seg-0242 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0242` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0242](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0242) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5521s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5521s) Yeah, so, I mean, we'll get to the garden, okay? But there are, like, so many ways you can understand what happened, okay? But, like, what Donnie was saying, what I will say is that, um, exactly that, which is, if God didn't want us to, um, didn't want us, the opportunity to exercise our free will, he would not have put the tree there in the first place. And he would not have said, hey, lift that tree, don't touch it, okay? I mean, yeah? Uh, did you have a comment? Yes? ### 1:32:37 seg-0243 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0243` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0243](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0243) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5557s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5557s) Oh, well, this is a bit of a meta -narrative, but what, what if God is perfection, God is everything good, God loves us, so no matter what God does to us, that's a form of his love. If he gives us free will, that's his love. If he doesn't, that's his love. If he did, then we can only assume that he loves us. ### 1:32:55 seg-0244 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0244` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0244](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0244) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5575s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5575s) Okay, alright, so, um, let me clarify something, okay? This, Donnie is beyond time and space. You understand? So we cannot use our logic, we cannot use our language to explain what's going on. But Dante is trying to use our logic, our language, to explain to us what's going on. Okay? So, this is not a literal explanation, oh, God is this force that loves us. It's a metaphorical explanation that helps us understand our place in the universe. Does that make sense? If you want to really go into literal, then go study quantum mechanics, right? How the universe is entirely energy, vibrations, quantum fields. But the question then for Donnie is like, what does this mean, right? If the universe is entirely energy, how does this energy flow work? And what does this mean for us? And what Donnie's trying to do is he's trying to explain to us what our place is metaphorically, poetically. ### 1:34:03 seg-0245 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0245` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0245](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0245) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5643s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5643s) Does that make sense? And the best way to understand God is like, God is this force, that loves us unconditionally and calls us back to him, which is what will enable us to be happy. But it's entirely our choice whether or not to go to him. He's trying to explain to us why we make certain choices that we do. Okay? Do you understand? So, this is poetry. This is a metaphor. This is not quantum mechanics. Does it make sense, guys? All right. Any more questions before we move on? Okay. So, I'm trying to establish the major themes. That we'll be exploring throughout the light column here. Okay? All right. Are we all clear? All right.

Into itself, the everlasting pearl received us, just as water will accept a ray of light and yet remain intact. If I was body, and on earth we cannot see how things material can share one's space, the case when body enters body, then should our longing be still more inflamed to see that essence in which we discern how God and human nature remain one? What we hold here by faith shall there be seen, not demonstrated but directly known, even as the first truth that man believes. I answered, with the most devotion I can summon, I thank him who has brought me far from the mortal world. But now tell me, what are the dark marks on this planet's body that there below, on earth, have made men tell the tale of Cain? ### 1:38:45 seg-0260 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0260` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0260](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0260) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5925s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5925s) Okay, so, they're on the moon, okay? And Dante has a question, which is, why are there dark spots on the moon? Actually, Carol, could you, can we just, like, Google the moon? Sure. Yeah. So, you guys have looked at the moon, right? There are, like, dark spots on the moon, and, like, you're like, what are they doing there, right? Like, you guys see the moon, right? Explain, does anyone know why there are dark spots on the moon? ### 1:39:15 seg-0261 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0261` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0261](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0261) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5955s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5955s) Because there's craters from meteoroids? ### 1:39:20 seg-0262 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0262` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0262](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0262) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5960s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5960s) Yeah, that's the standard explanation, okay? The standard explanation is that there are some craters, and these craters have certain material that is not reflective. And they can absorb the light, okay? All right? But Dante's asking this question. Like, my first question is, why are there dark spots on the moon? Okay, he said he's in heaven, and he's asking, like, why are there dark spots on the moon? Okay, so for him, it's a scientific journey, right? Okay, keep on going, Carol. ### 1:39:57 seg-0263 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0263` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0263](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0263) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5997s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=5997s) She smiled somewhat, and then she said, if the opinion mortals hold falls into error when the senses key cannot unlock the truth, you should not be struck by the universe, but by errors of amazement. Once you recognize that reason, even when supported by the senses, has short ways. ### 1:40:15 seg-0264 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0264` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0264](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0264) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6015s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6015s) Okay, so here she's saying, okay, reason, logic don't work in the universe. Okay, there is severe limitations to science, to logic, to reason. All right? And so now, we're forced to use our intuition and our imagination. Okay, if you truly believe in science, it's gonna only carry you so far. Okay, keep on going. ### 1:40:40 seg-0265 - Speaker: SPEAKER_07 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0265` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0265](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0265) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6040s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6040s) Sorry. I have a question. I think the imaginations and intuitions of reason is on the same level of precedence of cognitive faculties. Why is imagination or an intuitor is higher than reason? ### 1:40:55 seg-0266 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0266` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0266](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0266) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6055s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6055s) Okay, that's a good question. Okay, all right. So let's figure this out. Reason and imagination are not the same thing. Okay? Logic, intuition are not the same thing. Before I answer, does anyone want to try? What's the difference? There's a difference between reason and imagination. Have you guys thought about this? What's the difference between reason and imagination? ### 1:41:15 seg-0267 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0267` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0267](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0267) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6075s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6075s) I don't know. I'm gonna try, but I might be very wrong. But I think that, like, logic is more, like, about rational. Imagination can be, like, very rational. Like, um, yeah. Like, it can, for example, help different people. ### 1:41:30 seg-0268 - Speaker: SPEAKER_08 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0268` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0268](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0268) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6090s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6090s) Yes? Yeah, I would say logic is the people in the past, like, what they experienced and summarized and put into a theory. Or you can say logic is when people is what people think when they're in a normal state of mind. And when they go crazy or when they, just something happened to their brain and they're thinking something else, they can be more imaginative this way, probably. Yes? ### 1:42:00 seg-0269 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0269` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0269](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0269) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6120s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6120s) I think, to an extent, logic and reason, they try to explain the material world. But when we go into the realm of intuition and imagination, we can go beyond the constraints of the material world and just, like, do whatever we want and kind of, like, it's like the human nature. We want to experience things that are greater than this world that we live in. So that's why sometimes we are drawn to poetry and writing. ### 1:42:28 seg-0270 - Speaker: SPEAKER_01 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0270` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0270](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0270) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6148s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6148s) Okay.

Logic is the conscious human effort involving language and other, you know, centralized methods to experience the universe.

All right. But I need you to understand the difference between reason and imagination. Okay. The central difference is this. When you reason, what you're really doing is dividing things into categories. Does that make sense? In order for you to reason, you have to category something. For example, you're a girl, you're a boy, girl, boy. Okay. And then from that, once I have these categories, I can start to reason things out. Okay. But the categorization is problematic because like by categorizing, what I'm doing is I am reducing. I'm subtracting. I'm simplifying. Okay. Imagination is different because imagination is about synthesis. It's about adding. Okay. So you don't have this categorizing process. You can take leaps. Okay. You can build things on top of each other. So that's what Peter's saying here. If you try to categorize things, you're going to run into problems because categorization by itself is problematic. Does that make sense? Okay. ### 1:44:19 seg-0276 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0276` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0276](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0276) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6259s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6259s) You're trying to reason out why the moon has dark spots. Right. You're like, the moon is a planet. Uh, the planet. Well, I mean, you do understand what's going on. Okay. You're trying to put things into categories. And as a result, it's going to confuse you. ### 1:44:36 seg-0277 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0277` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0277](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0277) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6276s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6276s) All right. Yes. There's also, like, if you use logic, you can come up with many answers to one question. But if you have intuition or imagination, there's just one truth. You've got to feel it. ### 1:44:48 seg-0278 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0278` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0278](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0278) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6288s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6288s) Yeah.

Maybe I'm saying just like, you know, in ancient China, people didn't believe in logic. They just believed in, for example, like, or we can call it love or something. So you have to show love to your mother. You have to show love to your master. You can't ask, keep asking the question, why I show love? What you can give me in return? But reason is different. You have to get something in return. Like, you know, why I love you? Because I, I need you. Right? Why I need you? Because you can give me something that I need. Right? So I think maybe that is the difference. Okay. ### 1:45:28 seg-0280 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0280` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0280](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0280) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6328s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6328s) So, so, so, so categorization is important because categorization allows you to better manipulate the material world. Does that make sense guys? When you are able to categorize things, you're also able to break things down to its basic elements and then manipulate them. Great technology. Okay, does that make sense? But there's a limitation to this. The imagination is what carries you through to the deep secrets of the universe. Okay? is saying here okay you are looking at the moon from a logical rational scientific perspective and that will not let you see the truth okay the heart the imagination will let you see the truth ### 1:46:12 seg-0281 -

If rarity and density alone caused this, then all the stars would share one power distributed in lesser, greater, or an equal force.

So what she's saying here is, okay, we are looking at the heavens, and the different stars have different lighting, okay? And she's saying, like, if we can just reduce everything to logic, then this logic controls the universe, and therefore the entire stars are lit by this logic, okay? But she's gonna tell us that can't be true. Okay, there's another force and another force, that's how it would work.

If it is true that density is what determines light, then what you're saying is there are parts of the moon that are hollow, or they have a deep cavity. Okay, does that make sense, guys? Okay, either possibility. Either there are parts of the moon that are hollow, or there's a deep cavity inside the moon, so the light just goes into it, okay? Only one of these two possibilities. And now what she's doing too is, she's going to refute both of these arguments.

And more, where rarity the cost of the dim spots you question, then in part this planet would lack matter through and through. Or else as, in a body, lean and fat can alternate, so would this planet alternate the pages in its volume. To validate the first case, in the sun's eclipse, the light would have to show through, just as when it crosses matter, that is slender. This is not so. Therefore, we must consider the latter case. If I annul that too, then your opinion surely is computed. ### 1:51:37 seg-0294 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0294` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0294](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0294) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6697s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6697s) Okay, so she's saying, it is not possible for the moon to be hollow at any point.

From there, the rays of sun would be thrown back, just as from glass that hides lead at its back, a ray of colored light returns, reflected. Now you will say that where a ray has been reflected, from a section farther back, that ray will show itself to be more dim. ### 1:52:39 seg-0300 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0300` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0300](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0300) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6759s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6759s) Okay, so wait, that's the logical argument, right?

The middle starts straight between those two, but farther back. Then, turning toward them at your back, have placed a light that kindles those three mirrors and returns to you, reflected by them all. Although the image in the farthest glass will be of lesser size, there you will see that it must match the brightness of the rest. ### 1:53:57 seg-0304 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0304` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0304](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0304) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6837s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6837s) Okay, so here's an experiment, okay? What I'm doing is I am putting mirrors in front of me, okay, maybe 10 feet away from me, and I'm putting it like a mirror, okay? 10,000 kilometers away, and I'm shining a light at both, okay? Would the brightness differ between these two mirrors? Yes or no? No. It's the same brightness, okay? That 10,000 -kilometer mirror might be like you can't actually see it, but if you actually go there, it would just be as bright, okay? And this is an experiment you can actually do at home. You don't have to believe me. You can just go home and try this experiment. No matter how far it is from you, it will still be as bright, okay? Does that make sense, right? So it's not possible for the cavity theory to be true as well.

So his imagination is not solidified there. So if he un -convinces himself that he's in heaven, then he will just fall away and he will wake up and he will be back on earth. So Beatrice is trying to prevent that by convincing him and by solidifying his imagination in heaven. ### 1:56:14 seg-0309 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0309` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0309](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0309) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6974s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6974s) Do you think... the conversation actually took place. ### 1:56:22 seg-0310 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0310` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0310](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0310) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6982s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=6982s) Okay, so why is the conversation happening?

It's a really weird question, okay, and we'll end the first session with this question. Okay, the question is this. Dante wrote this in 1321. Did he, could he possibly imagine that in the year 2026, that we would be in Beijing, on this day, it's a multicultural, multilingual group, and that we would be discussing his divine comedy, trying to figure out his intention. Could he imagine this in the year 1321? What do you think? It's pretty amazing, right? Like, he wrote this in the year 1321. He didn't even know where China was. That then, never experienced the world. Could he have imagined that in the year 2026, that we would be together trying to figure out, his intention? Could he have, could he have imagined that? Who says yes? ### 1:58:37 seg-0315 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0315` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0315](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0315) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7117s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7117s) Someone say yes. Just for fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, I think it's yes. Why? I think it is because just like Shakespeare, he says that maybe the things that we can be forgotten, but worse, will be remembered forever. So, everyone will want their own work can become masterpiece, including Tanking, I suppose. Yeah. ### 1:58:56 seg-0316 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0316` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0316](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0316) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7136s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7136s) Yes. I guess if what he writes is close to the truth, and close to what it should be, true, it will stand the test of time, right? So, Tanking, 50 years from now, 1,000 years from now, 2,000 years from now. ### 1:59:09 seg-0317 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0317` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0317](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0317) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7149s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7149s) Yeah, okay.

I don't know, maybe when he was on this journey, he might have like seen this. So, like, that's why he, after 20 years, he was like very adamant that I'm going to be documenting this conversation, and leaving this work, and for example, for an actor, so that watching both. ### 1:59:45 seg-0319 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0319` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0319](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0319) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7185s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7185s) Do you think he actually had this conversation in heaven?

So, you said we're here in Beijing, and we're here, this group of people specifically talking, and of course, he could not have seen these trappings. These are material trappings. But, if we delve down into the archetype of what we're doing, which is discussing his work, which is deriving knowledge, deriving nourishment from him, then this archetype is a constant across all ages, and he could absolutely have foreseen that this was going to happen. ### 2:00:27 seg-0321 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0321` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0321](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0321) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7227s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7227s) Okay, that's right. So, 500 years from now, is it possible that another group of people will be watching, this video, and analyzing what we're discussing? Is that possible? What would make it possible? Why would they be doing this? ### 2:00:52 seg-0322 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0322` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0322](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0322) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7252s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=7252s) Oh, they'll be reading Dante.

But, Dante didn't know that.

So, I would just say, that if you just look into your heart, you know what is eternal, what is true, okay? And you know it that is eternal and what is true, then you know that this will both extend into the future as well as extend back in the past, okay? And this is something that you can't actually logically explain, something that is just done through faith and intuition, okay? All right, so we'll end the morning session on this note, and then we'll come back at one o 'clock all right okay all right thanks okay uh welcome back to the live stream um so uh for those of you watching online please note that every day we start class probably at 10 o 'clock then we'll break at 12 for lunch uh and then we'll come back at one o 'clock and we continue until three o 'clock okay so the live stream ### 2:03:24 seg-0331 -

Because this is the year 1321, and the idea is just obey the Catholic Church, just obey your priest, and you'll understand. And what Donnie is saying is, no, you have to engage in open debate, Socratic debate, you truly want to understand. So as a teacher, you have to allow your students to make errors. Okay?

Okay. Does that make sense to you guys? Okay. Well, ultimately, the secret is that God is love, okay? And love can take different manifestations. We can use different ways to describe this love.

But a new vision showed itself to me. The grip in which it held me was so fast that I did not remember to confess. Just as returning through transparent, clean glass. Or through waters calm and crystalline, so shallow that they scarcely can reflect.

But all those souls raised the Empyrean, and in each of them has gentle life, though some sends the eternal spirit more, some less. They showed themselves to you here, not because this is their sphere, but as a sign for you that in the Empyrean their place is lowest. ### 3:00:43 seg-0462 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0462` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0462](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0462) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10843s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10843s) Okay, so this is a really important idea to keep in mind, okay? This is a metaphorical representation of the heavens. In the actual heavens, there is no time and space, so there is no hierarchy, okay? But there are certain souls that are not as worthy as other souls, and so they are now... They are now visually depicted in the lower spheres, okay? So this is just an optical illusion in order for us to better understand what's going on. Do you want to go in? ### 3:01:17 seg-0463 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0463` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0463](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0463) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10877s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10877s) Such signs are suited to your mind, since from the sense only can it apprehend what then becomes fit for the intellect. ### 3:01:25 seg-0464 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0464` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0464](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0464) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10885s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10885s) Okay, so again, there's no time and space here, right?

And Gabriel and Michael and the angel who heals the eyes of Tobit are portrayed by Holy Church with human visages. That which Timaeus said in Reasoning of Souls does not describe what you have seen, since it would seem that as he speaks, he thinks. He says the soul returns to that same star from... So he believes it had been taken when nature sent that soul as form to body. ### 3:02:12 seg-0466 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0466` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0466](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0466) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10932s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=10932s) Okay, all right. So the idea here is that we all come from the soul world, okay? And in the soul world, we come with a purpose. And after we die, we go back to the same place that we come from. But then this raises the question then is, what is the point of life then, right? If you're just going to end up in the same place you started out with, who cares what you do here, all right?

And Moose is like, I'm gonna burn you alive, okay? And Moose is like, I'm coming for you. The king says, well, put your probably first hand back there or we'll burn you alive. And then Moose just, the king tells him what he's gonna say, he just goes and puts his hand in the fire, and after a few years, he's like, how did this happen?

Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12525s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12525s) right um so we could be here like all day okay but but let me explain what the idea here is to understand what's going on i need to explain to you emmanuel pont's categorical imperative okay the category imperative by emmanuel pont and there are three principles to the category imperative which is the highest moral law in the universe okay the rule of life that allows you to be closer to god the category imperative okay so the first idea is um you are a reflection of the universe so just imagine that whatever you do the entire universe will do if you laugh the universe laughs with you if you are angry the universe is angry with you okay so imagine that you are angry and you are like she's like an angel okay but then she's like she's like a god and if you're angry you turn into a god and you because she's angry at ### 3:30:04 seg-0531 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0531` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0531](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0531) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12604s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12604s) you then you become cautious and you become curious and you become cautious and then you become curious okay so the kind of estimate that emmanuel pont uses for her philosophy is that she's like an angel she's like a real angel she's an angel she's a god she's a goddess and we're just doesn't really matter if she made a billion people richer. It doesn't matter, okay? The universe is poorer because of her fear, of her lack of faith. That's number one. Number two is free will. Everything you do, you do because it is your choice. So back to the original point, which is you're like, I have to go help. If I go help a billion people, then I should be able to go to heaven, right? Or Constantine's saying, well, I killed a lot of demons, so therefore I should go to heaven. That's not the way it works, okay? Everything you do has to be because of free will. ### 3:30:49 seg-0532 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0532` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0532](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0532) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12649s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12649s) And the last is humans are the ultimate end, okay? You cannot say, okay, to save a billion people, I need to kill that one person. That goes against the category imperative. I know it sounds stupid. Wait a minute, I kill one person, I save a billion people? You can't do that, okay? That's not how the universe works. Every soul, is precious to God. Every soul is unique to God. Therefore, you cannot kill another soul in order to advance a greater good, okay? God would never, ever ask you to kill someone else in order to achieve a higher good. So this is the category imperative. And the category imperative is really a way for us to understand the morality of Dante's cosmology, of his universe, okay? Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Does that make sense? Does that make sense? That's why there's no way for Picard to redeem herself in the eyes of God, all right? ### 3:31:55 seg-0533 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0533` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0533](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0533) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12715s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12715s) So this raises an interesting question. What can Picard do to redeem herself then, according to the category imperative, according to Dante? How? Well, if she becomes queen and she saves a billion people, that doesn't work. So what can she do? She can run away and go back to the nunnery. ### 3:32:23 seg-0534 - Speaker: SPEAKER_10 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0534` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0534](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0534) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12743s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12743s) Yes, that is a possibility, yes. Maybe just sharing as much love as she can to her, like, children. That's no different from making billion people happier, right? Yeah, but it would be more, like, personal and, like, connected to the soul, I guess. Like, because also giving money to people isn't really about love, in a way. ### 3:32:49 seg-0535 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0535` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0535](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0535) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12769s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12769s) Yeah, yeah, but why is she being, but why is she loving her children so much? Why is she so nice to her children then? It goes back to the Constantine problem, right? It's the same thing where Constantine was doing a lot of good by killing these demons, and God says, we don't care. Same thing where, you know, if Picard has 10 kids and they all love her and she loves them back, God's not going to care either. The same situation, right? So I'm saying, what can she do to redeem herself in the eyes of God? Yes, then you. Well, if there's no way, then there's no free will, right? So there has to be a way, yes? Repent. How? I'm just asking this question. How can you repent? Yes? ### 3:33:41 seg-0536 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0536` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0536](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0536) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12821s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12821s) If there's free will, then her, like, her will should be able to change. So, like, instead of wanting to be closer to God, thus being an enemy, she could change her free will. She'd change her will. ### 3:33:55 seg-0537 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0537` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0537](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0537) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12835s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12835s) How? I don't understand. ### 3:33:57 seg-0538 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0538` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0538](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0538) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12837s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12837s) Like, her will is now, I will be a good king and a good mother, a queen and a good mother. We just said that. We just said that doesn't work. But that was because she was coming from a place of fear. If she comes from a place of will. ### 3:34:08 seg-0539 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0539` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0539](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0539) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12848s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12848s) Right? And so, okay, so now what's happening is that her contingent will is now harmonizing her absolute will, which forces her to do what? Yes? ### 3:34:18 seg-0540 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0540` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0540](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0540) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12858s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12858s) So this is, this is like prosperity gospel. Okay, this is really stupid. This is really entitled. But what if Ricarda just stops begging, begging God to like, oh, God, please notice me. What if Ricarda goes, okay, I am worthy of this now. Is she begging God for anything? Yeah, well, the solutions that we just proposed, like doing all these good deeds, that's a roundabout way of begging, to be honest. ### 3:34:53 seg-0541 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0541` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0541](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0541) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12893s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12893s) But is she doing, is she doing any of these things? Is she doing any of these things? Yeah, she isn't. No, she isn't. What is she feeling right now? Like, what's she feeling right now? She didn't have any, how does she feel? Content. She's pretty content. Okay. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So.

What would she do? ### 3:35:19 seg-0542 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0542` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0542](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0542) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12919s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12919s) Maybe she can increase her will. I do want to ascend into like, a closer space to God. ### 3:35:25 seg-0543 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0543` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0543](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0543) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12925s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12925s) Exactly. Okay. That's it. Okay. Do you understand? If all she's like, the way she redeems herself is saying, I'm not happy being the dumbest kid at Yale. I wouldn't be like second dumbest kid at you or something, okay? Anything, who cares? But that wouldn't make her redeem herself in the eyes of God. Because now she's exercising more will. When you do that, you're showing your faith, love, and trust in God. That's what God wants. None of this crap like, okay, I'll donate a billion dollars to charity, okay? Or I'll be really nice to my kids. God doesn't want that crap. God wants you to love yourself, okay? So in other words, who really put her in the lowest sphere? It's herself, do you understand? It's all free will. It's all free choice. Wherever you are in the universe, it's because you choose to be there. Does that make sense? No one put you there, okay? ### 3:36:28 seg-0544 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0544` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0544](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0544) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12988s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12988s) When Picard says, God put me here and I'm thankful to God, she is insulting God. ### 3:36:38 seg-0545 - Speaker: UNKNOWN - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0545` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0545](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0545) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12998s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12998s) Okay? ### 3:36:39 seg-0546 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0546` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0546](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0546) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12999s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=12999s) Because God would never do that to you.

If in the fire of love, I seem to flame beyond the measure visible on earth, so that I overcome. Your visions forth, you need not wonder I'm so because of my perfected vision as I grasp the good. So I approach the good in act. Indeed, I see that in your intellect now shines the never ending light. Once seen that light alone and always kindles love. And if a lesser thing, a lure, your love, it is a vestige of that light, which though imperfectly leans through that. That lesser thing, you wish to know if through a righteous act, one can repair a promise unfulfilled so that the soul and God are reconciled. So Beatrice began this canto and as one who does not interrupt her speech, so did her holy reasoning proceed.

Thus, you may draw as consequence the high worth of a vow when what is pledged with your consent. And counters God's consent for when a path is drawn between a man and God, then through free will, a man gives up what I've called his treasure is free will. What then can be a fitting compensation to use again what you had offered would mean seeking to do good with ill God gain. But now you understand the major point. But since the Holy Church gives dispensation, which seems in contrast with the truth, I stated, you need to sit at table somewhat longer, the food that you have taken was tough food, it still needs help. If you're to digest it, open your mind to what I shall disclose and hold it fast within you.

Okay. All right. So let's try to figure this out. Okay. So don't ask this question. Ricardo did wrong. Um, but is there a way to compensate for what she did? What is Beatrice's answer? What is the logic here? Just summarize for me what she's saying. And the logic is this, right? God loves us. And God's greatest gift to us is to give us free will. So we can do whatever we want. Okay. And what does, what does Picardo do with this free will free choice? ### 3:40:30 seg-0557 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0557` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0557](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0557) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13230s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13230s) Doesn't do anything. ### 3:40:33 seg-0558 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0558` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0558](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0558) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13233s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13233s) Uh, excuse me. Away her own free will. She, she promised her free will to God so that the two are now founded together. Okay. So what's happened is that God gave Picardo free will, and then Picardo gave her free will to God so that, so that now they are eternally married, right? Very eternally married. You can't divorce. You cannot. You cannot betray the person. Okay. So what Picardo did was not, was not just not keep a vow. She betrayed God, right? That is what Beatrice is saying. This is pretty extreme. Do you guys, are you guys okay with this argument? ### 3:41:34 seg-0559 - Speaker: SPEAKER_16 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0559` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0559](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0559) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13294s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13294s) So her mistake was promising her free will to God? ### 3:41:42 seg-0560 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0560` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0560](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0560) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13302s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13302s) Um, so yes.

I, I think it's, it's, it's a, it's a slope. It's, it's, it's a, it's a logical issue. So you're taking something that's pretty small and you're blowing it up out of context. Like everything can stand for something like his, uh, Ricardo's vows to God can stand for God himself. And if they can stand for God himself, then he betrayed, then she betrayed God and it becomes bigger and bigger and that's a problem. ### 3:42:27 seg-0562 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0562` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0562](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0562) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13347s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13347s) Okay. Let, let, let, let's use an analogy. Okay. Just say that, um, a man and a wife got married. Okay. It's a marriage. The wife betrays the husband with some affair. How could the wife redeem herself in the eyes of the husband? ### 3:42:59 seg-0563 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0563` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0563](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0563) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13379s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13379s) Yeah. Well, actually this is very sensitive because, uh, uh, I think the loving affair is kind of a third wheel, right? So if there's a third wheel, then I think the wife should make apologize. So the God will forgive the people who make apologize. ### 3:43:13 seg-0564 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0564` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0564](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0564) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13393s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13393s) Okay. That's okay. Okay. So your wife cheats on you and she apologizes and you're like, fine, I forgive you. Are you willing to forgive her? Uh, physically, mentally, no. What can she do to redeem herself? In your eyes? If you're the husband and she cheats on you, there's no way. I don't think there is. I don't know. Okay. Right. I mean, okay. Let's switch it. Okay. You're, you're the wife and the husband cheats on you. What could he do to redeem yourself? Redeem himself in your eyes? What? ### 3:44:05 seg-0565 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0565` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0565](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0565) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13445s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13445s) Oh, out of battery.

Let's hear him. ### 3:44:18 seg-0567 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0567` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0567](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0567) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13458s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13458s) So I wasn't going to say anything. I wasn't going to say that he can't redeem himself. I was going to say that, uh, he can only be redeemed when I decide that he is redeemed. Like he has no choice in the matter. I decide whether or not he's redeemed. ### 3:44:37 seg-0568 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0568` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0568](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0568) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13477s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13477s) I think a better way of framing it is, uh, whoever that cheats, right? The wife or the husband in this case, if the husband cheats, right? How would the husband be able to redeem himself in the eye of himself? As in his own journey, right? As opposed to relative to, because this is judgment, right? If the wife needs to judge whether the husband is redeemed, that's what, so in the eyes of the husband himself who cheated, how do you get back to that place before you cheated? Right. So I think, uh, I guess the only solution is similar. Like you break the cycle. If you find yourself in a cheating situation, again, if you decide not to cheat, I think that's, Oh, no, you already cheated or you pretend you that you didn't cheat. Well, I'm going to talk about that. ### 3:45:22 seg-0569 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0569` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0569](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0569) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13522s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13522s) Well, in your next marriage, sorry, sorry, sorry. So maybe I want to reiterate what she was thinking because, um, humans aren't God. And so it was humans aren't God. Yeah, that's right. They're not gone. And so, but, but this is a, this is a judgment that the wife is dealing with the cheater and she's trying to regain trust, but God doesn't have this issue of, of trust judgment. ### 3:45:49 seg-0570 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0570` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0570](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0570) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13549s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13549s) I understand. I understand what I'm saying. Like, can you give me. Like, can you give me a concrete thing you can do to redeem yourself? ### 3:45:57 seg-0571 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0571` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0571](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0571) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13557s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13557s) Well, you'd change your character and then you would gain trust by that change character. So someone who cheats at 18, maybe they don't cheat at 40. So it just takes time and regain trust. But, but, but, but how can you regain trust? By not cheating in the future. I mean, by being a different person, you can't go back in time and not an uncheat, right? So all you're going to do is, is find yourself like he's saying, and like she's saying, you're just not going to do it. You're going to be a different person. ### 3:46:25 seg-0572 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0572` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0572](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0572) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13585s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13585s) What's the problem with cheating?

I think, uh, you know, just like a Clinton used to say, I just have a, uh, I don't have sex relationship with the girl, but he said, I have to have sex. So a relationship maybe is, is kind of thing is more than. Three times for sex, that is relationship for once. I think it's a mistake. It's okay. It can't be.

That's the initial covenant that was in the Bible. ### 3:48:25 seg-0591 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0591` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0591](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0591) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13705s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13705s) That's right. But so what you've done is you've changed the nature of the relationship from one based on trust to one now that is one of suspicion. Yeah. Right. Okay. That's a problem. The sex is not the issue. The affair is not the issue. The trust is the issue. Yes. ### 3:48:41 seg-0592 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0592` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0592](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0592) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13721s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13721s) So I, this is why being with God is better than being with your boyfriend or girlfriend because your boyfriend or girlfriend cannot read your mind. Like you, you can, you can try to convince them. You can kneel on keyboard and you can tell them, I've changed, I promise, but they can choose to not believe you. But the good thing with God is that he can see all of you. If you bear yourself to him, then he can see all of who you are, all of who you have become. And if you have truly moved on, if you have truly become a better person, then he will know it. ### 3:49:13 seg-0593 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0593` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0593](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0593) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13753s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13753s) Okay. Let me ask you this question. Okay. Let's imagine your husband and she and your wife once. Okay. What are you most likely to do next? Come on, guys. You'll do it. Okay. And then what? You'll do it again. And then what? You'll do it again. You understand? So you bring that vow, not only changes your relationship with your wife, it changes also who you are, your understanding of yourself, right? Doesn't make sense. That's why bringing a vow is that serious. It's not like, okay, well, I got drunk and I did something stupid. No, no, no, no, no. It's you've just changed your understanding of yourself. We can also say you change how God perceives you. You're like, well, God doesn't really care if I cheat. So I'll do it again. Do you understand? Okay. So this is what Tony is saying. These are very serious things. If you make a vow before God and before people, you're making a contract with yourself. ### 3:50:21 seg-0594 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0594` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0594](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0594) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13821s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13821s) And if you break this contract, you'll probably keep on doing it because it's changed the nature of your soul. Right? Okay. And there is no redemption for this. There's nothing you can do to repair this. Does that make sense? Okay. ### 3:50:45 seg-0595 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0595` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0595](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0595) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13845s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13845s) All right. Your question you kept asking us is what can we do now? And your answer seems to be nothing. But what's the problem? ### 3:50:57 seg-0596 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0596` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0596](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0596) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13857s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13857s) What's the problem with this? Why is this so serious? Everything else is like, well, you know, if you just want to change, you'll change. But this is really serious. Why? You've broken. You've broken your, your vow to God, essentially. ### 3:51:11 seg-0597 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0597` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0597](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0597) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13871s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13871s) That's right. And so what, what, what do you not do then? So I understand that. So you're just saying once you've broken your vow, then, then you might as well lay down and die and go to hell, go to inferno. But no, no, no, no, no. ### 3:51:23 seg-0598 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0598` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0598](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0598) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13883s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13883s) The point here is that you have free will, you can do whatever you want. Do not make a vow to God unless you're willing to die for it. Sure. Right. Does that make sense? Yeah. But there are things you must take seriously. If you can just speak out anything you want, well, no consequence, then this universe has no meaning by itself. So that was your answer, die. Okay. So let's think about this. Okay. You've broken your vow to God, right? And now you are in the lower sphere of heaven. What can you do now? ### 3:52:12 seg-0599 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0599` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0599](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0599) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13932s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13932s) I don't, I don't think we've come to an answer. Hmm. Renew the vow. Renew the vow. ### 3:52:36 seg-0600 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0600` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0600](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0600) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13956s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=13956s) Okay. Okay. All right. All right. So, so let's be precise about this. Okay. We have another 10 minutes. Okay. And, and we'll, we'll let, let's really, really try to unpack this. Okay. So you made this vow to God or to your wife. Okay. And again, don't make vows unless you're really serious about it. Okay. Guys don't make vows unless you can keep them. All right. No one's gonna make you do these vows. If you're gonna make these vows, you better keep them. All right. But then for whatever reason, you have broken the vow. All right. Now, what I want to do is look into your psychology. Okay. How do you explain the fact that you broke this vow? What did Prakata do? ### 3:53:35 seg-0601 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0601` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0601](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0601) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14015s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14015s) Helplessness.

Right. Like, like, yeah, I shit my wife, but you know, I got drunk and she raped me. So it wasn't really my choice. Okay. So, so you say I'm helpless. Then what happens? Your psychology. All right. All right. So I want to be precise. Okay. This is really important. We're trying to understand the mind comedy. You do something that breaks your vows. This causes you to feel helpless because you don't want to take responsibility. Right. Then what happens? Uh, the back. ### 3:54:13 seg-0603 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0603` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0603](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0603) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14053s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14053s) Kind of like what Eve did shifting the blame to the serpent and be like, it's him that times me. It's not me that wants to do this. And that's. That's what Adam did to essentially human. ### 3:54:22 seg-0604 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0604` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0604](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0604) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14062s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14062s) Yeah.

Okay. That's exactly what I wanted for Carter. Right. She made a vow to God. Very, very serious. Okay. The most serious thing you can do in your life is is make a vow to God. Nothing else beats this. Okay. That's number one. Number two is she's not able to keep this vow because she lacks the will. She's afraid it's her fault. She shifts the blame and responsibility to her brother. And then she just imagine yourself as forever lacking agency. This makes her passive and it makes her accept whatever comes her way so that when she. She ends up in the lowest spirits of the heavens. She's like, I'm happy here, even though she's probably not happy there. I understand. Okay. So it's not that we can't be redeemed. It's just like we dig a hole and we build ourselves in it so that it's impossible to redeem ourselves. ### 3:55:51 seg-0613 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0613` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0613](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0613) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14151s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14151s) Okay.

We've already discussed that. But she can't, she cannot take back agency. ### 3:56:16 seg-0615 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0615` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0615](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0615) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14176s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14176s) Why? Because her entire worldview is based on her lack of agency. Do you understand? Yeah. Yeah. She has to explain to herself why she didn't resist. The answer is she had no agency and her. And so she's like, we, but God doesn't give us agency. God demands our obedience. You understand? Yeah. But. But so with her worldview, it's impossible for her to exercise agency. Because agency is defiance of God. Then change her worldview. But you cannot change your worldview because it's your worldview. It's like telling a computer, change your software. Knowledge. It's your programming. ### 3:56:59 seg-0616 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0616` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0616](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0616) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14219s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14219s) Knowledge.

Jesus, right? Why is he important? Why is he so consequential? Why do you have two good people believe in Jesus? Why? What, what does that mean? He can bring us salvation. Right. Okay. So does it make sense? Jesus is so consequential because he provides a solution. To an impossible problem. Which is how do you redeem yourself? Right? Because often you're in trouble because you think you deserve your fate. And for someone to come along and says that I forgive you unconditionally. I redeem you unconditionally. That's that's the most powerful idea in the universe. Okay. So, so I know it's not satisfactory, but one possible solution is for someone else to forgive you because you can't forgive yourself.

Is that she has to wait for someone else to save her. ### 3:59:00 seg-0622 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0622` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0622](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0622) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14340s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14340s) And who would forgive her? ### 3:59:10 seg-0623 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0623` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0623](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0623) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14350s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14350s) Jesus. ### 3:59:11 seg-0624 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0624` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0624](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0624) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14351s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14351s) And who is Jesus? ### 3:59:13 seg-0625 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0625` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0625](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0625) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14353s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14353s) Yeah. ### 3:59:15 seg-0626 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0626` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0626](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0626) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14355s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14355s) God, right? And will God forgive you? Yeah. Yeah. If you turn towards God, God will always forgive you. So it's a question of faith. Do you understand? Like, as long as you have the right faith, you can always change for the better because you know that God will always forgive you. Okay. So that's the solution. All right. The solution is to turn towards God because you will never find the solution yourself. It's impossible because your worldview, right? You just come to the idea that no, I'm helpless. I must obey God. And God wants me just to be here for the rest of the rest of my life for all of eternity. Okay. All right. Does it make sense, guys? Yeah. Any more questions? Yes. ### 4:00:13 seg-0627 - Speaker: SPEAKER_17 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0627` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0627](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0627) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14413s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14413s) Yeah. So I think what you have said just reminded me of the memory in which there is Christianity, the believer who said that don't always try to be like a king. If you want to be king, then if you do something wrong that you have, it's very hard to forgive yourself. But if you just, you know, let God to sit on your seat, on your seat, then you can be forgiven. ### 4:00:36 seg-0628 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0628` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0628](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0628) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14436s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14436s) Yeah. Okay. So this is something that's really hard for us to appreciate. But our actions change. Our character, you understand, if you commit sin, it's not like, oh, you feel really bad and like, you won't do it again. No, it's like once you commit sin, you begin to rationalize the sin and you do more of it. Okay. And then the sin eventually consumes you. And that's how you end up in hell. Hell does not exist outside of us. Hell is a mental construct. It's a way for us to explain away. Our actions. Okay. Does that make sense? ### 4:01:21 seg-0629 - Speaker: SPEAKER_03 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0629` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0629](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0629) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14481s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14481s) Yes. So hell is not taking responsibility and not forgiving yourself. ### 4:01:28 seg-0630 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0630` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0630](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0630) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14488s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14488s) Hell is not forgiving yourself. Yes, exactly. That's what hell literally is. Not forgiving yourself. And we'll see that when we actually go back and visit the inferno. Okay. All right. But it's important that we first start off with paradise. So we understand the cosmology. Okay. Any more questions? Guys? Okay. So that's it for the first day. We have a couple of minutes. So let me talk about how you can make the most out of your experience today. Okay. So the first thing I will say is you guys need to go back and review what we just read today. Okay. Trust me. If you do this, you're going to have a lot more insight into Dante. Okay. So we've had this amazing discussion. We've read a lot. Thanks to Carol. But go back and review for yourself. Read for yourself the first four contos. And make sure you understand everything. Okay. If there's something you don't understand, come tomorrow with questions. ### 4:02:34 seg-0631 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0631` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0631](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0631) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14554s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14554s) All right. Just make sure you review today. Come tomorrow with questions. All right. So we'll spend the first part of tomorrow morning just answering any questions you have about this. Okay. So I'm going to start with Dante. All right. Make sure you understand everything. If there's a reference you don't understand, like who is Glockus, who is Daphne, make sure you understand the stuff. Okay. Just read up on it. And the third thing I will say is always trust your intuition and your imagination. If it feels right to you, it's probably right. If it feels wrong to you, it's probably wrong. Okay. So if it feels wrong to you, say it. Be honest. Challenge me. Direct me. Okay. Be like... And the thing about Beatrice and Dante, right? They're in heaven. And what do they do? They argue. They debate. They question each other. Okay. Excuse me? ### 4:03:35 seg-0632 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0632` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0632](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0632) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14615s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14615s) Such a great married relationship. Oh. ### 4:03:39 seg-0633 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0@transcript:v1#seg-0633` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0633](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-7ag3emdvkt0/transcript/#seg-0633) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14619s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG3EMDvKT0&t=14619s) Yes. Okay. Yes. No. Yeah. That's exactly right. Okay. All right. So that's... But like how Beatrice and Dante interact with each other. I hope that this can also be like that. Okay. Our classroom can also be one of constant questioning, debate, open and honest dialogue. All right. Okay, guys. So that's great. That's it for today. I will see everyone tomorrow. We start at 10 o 'clock. Okay? Okay. Thanks.
