Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=412s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=412s) um okay so this is poetry and there are different uh conceptions okay but I think what he what he's doing is he's collapsing time does that make sense to you because as you say the proper sequence of events is you first leave the bowl then you fly then you hit your target right but then he's saying I first hit my target then I fly then I leave so I take this to mean the collapse of time does that make sense to you yes we are we are in a place where time and space has collapsed altogether yeah so there's no time then there's no space right so so there are there are the most basic interpretation is that this is happening so fast that it's beyond perception you understand because because because what we're seeing it's human perception right it's the human logic and and what what he's saying is that this is happening so ### 8:10 seg-0010 -

Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=854s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=854s) how are you able to structure in a way that is mathematically perfect right so something that we will not probably discuss but something that we should discuss more is the mathematics the numerology of the Divine Comedy okay so there are three sections the first section is 34 contours second section is 33 third section is 33. that's a hundred also the number 33 has a lot of occult meaning because 33 is the age when Jesus died okay um 33 has a lot of occult um significance so this is like really weird how is a person able to even before you wrote anything down mathematically concede the entirety of the Divine Comedy and this is something that we will address throughout these two weeks because it's really a question of what really is our connection to the Divine okay so something that I will argue to you today is that Dante could have only written this if ### 15:24 seg-0021 -

Okay, does that make sense, guys? ### 33:59 seg-0057 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0057` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0057](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0057) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2039s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2039s) Yeah. So a follow -up question. Since you said in relation to my hypothetical that you should act as what you think to be right, then we assume that the monk acted in what he thinks is right, and he killed the man betraying his vow. However, because he acted in the way that he thinks is right, he still has the right to do what he thinks is right. So what do you say? So what you are saying right now is Picarda's actions don't matter that much. She only has to forgive herself and rationalize her actions. Because if she rationalizes her actions as an act of love to God, then she would be able to ascend beyond her lowest fear. Is that what you're saying? ### 34:44 seg-0058 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0058` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0058](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0058) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2084s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2084s) Okay, so there is a fundamental error in your logic. And the fundamental error is that it is up to us to be able to rationalize away our sins. Okay. That's what you're assuming. We have the power to think away what we've done, or rationalize away what we've done. Okay. And we don't. And it's hard. It's a hard concept to understand. Okay. Because you think that, okay, these people in history, they're not going to do what they're going to do in history, who killed millions of people, people like Stalin, people like Hitler, people like Genghis Khan, right? Well, logically, they did what they did, because they felt it was right. I have to save my people, I have to make my people happy. And that's why I need to start these wars. Okay. That's what we think they think. But what? So in today's literature, what you recognize is that there are many different dimensions to the soul. ### 36:06 seg-0059 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0059` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0059](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0059) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2166s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2166s) Okay. And maybe on the surface, you can lie to yourself. But in your heart, in your true self, you know exactly what the truth is. Okay. Okay. So, like, because you're using logic, you're using philosophy. And sometimes it doesn't get you anywhere. So, so, so, I will leave you with this idea, which is, do you know what happens when people take psychedelics, or when they have near -death experiences, or they do meditation? Do you know what happens? Okay. The thing that happens is you are able to ascend to a level where you're able to see yourself from the lens of a person you've hurt. Does that make sense? You're able to see yourself when you die, or you're near -death, the totality of the pain you've caused the world. Okay. It's pretty amazing. But people who do psychedelics, ayahuasca, people who have near -death experiences, they all say this. When this happens ### 37:26 seg-0060 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0060` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0060](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0060) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2246s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2246s) to you, when you actually ascend, when you leave your corporal body, the first thing that happens is something called a life review, where you're able to see once and for all, all the totality of the pain you've caused other people, even that cat you kicked. Okay. You can see it. And you're like, wait a minute, I don't even remember I kicked the cat. No, you're able to see it. Okay. All right. Does that make sense? So, just because you think something doesn't mean it's all you're able to think.

It shows us he cannot access long -term memory, and it could be because he cannot form long -term memory, but it could also mean that there's a disconnection between his long -term memory and his consciousness, right? ### 43:14 seg-0073 - Speaker: SPEAKER_09 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0073` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0073](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0073) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2594s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2594s) So I have further questions. If we assume that the memory is not stored in the brain, so what's the physical realizers of memory? Or if memory doesn't necessarily need just physical realizers, so what's the relationship between memories and physical materials? Okay, so there have been recent neuroscientific studies that argue that our memory, our consciousness is stored inside the universe, okay? ### 43:44 seg-0074 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0074` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0074](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0074) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2624s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2624s) So think of the internet, and our brains are just smartphones that access the internet.

He even forgot who he was. And how could you explain how hippocampus, like a specific region in the brain, is not related to your memory? ### 44:26 seg-0076 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0076` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0076](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0076) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2666s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2666s) So you have a computer, right?

So it's a chemical compound that actually, I studied neuroscience in college. It actually hits a certain receptor in your brain that caused like a downward signaling effect that makes you meditate, makes you trip and all that. And this is a very physical or like chemical thing. But now you said the memory is not about this material thing, but rather related to the universe or some more spiritual kind of realms. How would you explain the differences? ### 45:39 seg-0080 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0080` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0080](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0080) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2739s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2739s) So first of all, they're different psychedelics, right? And what is interesting is depending on a psychedelic, you have different experiences. So for example, if you're on ayahuasca, you'll see like demons and spirits floating around you. ### 45:56 seg-0081 - Speaker: SPEAKER_03 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0081` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0081](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0081) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2756s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2756s) Like the entities. Yeah, I've heard of that. But the majority of psychedelics, they actually hits the similar regions or like, at least the, like maybe they share 70 % of the same like 5HT2A receptors in your brain. That's the serotonin thing it hits. And yeah, there are lots of different like psilocybin, like LSD and all that. But the effects are more similar than they're different. Would you agree? ### 46:28 seg-0082 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0082` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0082](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0082) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2788s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=2788s) Okay, so again, what's happening is that you're looking at the hardware issues, and you completely ignore the software. Does that make sense? you're like okay okay this connection this fiber optic connection um you are analyzing it and detailing it how it works but who cares what what what matters is the information you're downloading why are you able to download certain information when you take a certain psychedelic and the argument is that our brains exist in order to anchor ourselves to this material world and we have to believe that this material world is what's real because if you just do if your brain just can do whatever it wants and it's able to access all the information on the internet the your computer's going to explode right yeah so your computer has to be strategic about what information it um absorbs in order to navigate the world right ultimately you have to survive you have to ### 47:30 seg-0083 -

And she destroys, so there's no more wind, okay? So the Greeks are stuck where they are. So Agamemnon is like, no, we need to go to Troy because of this oath to the gods. And he talks to the prophet and says, what can I do to restore the winds? And the prophet says, if you kill your daughter, Iphigenia, Artemis will be appeased, okay?

How should we get closer to God? ### 1:29:59 seg-0179 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0179` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0179](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0179) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5399s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5399s) Okay.

It's pretty complicated, man. So what's the only way you can actually read the Bible? Use your intuition, man. You understand? Try reading the Bible using logic. Good luck with that one. Right? What's your contradiction here? What Donnie is saying is, okay, yes, I understand that you made this vow to God, and you want to know what to keep and what to... what to break. Use your intuition. How? Read the Bible. Listen to the priest. Okay? Once you have these two elements, go to church, listen to the priest, read the Bible, then this will be the path to your salvation. What he's really saying is, use your own judgment. Use your intuition. Use your faith. Yes? ### 1:31:16 seg-0184 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0184` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0184](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0184) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5476s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5476s) So what you are basically saying here, back to my inside -outside metaphor, so what you're basically saying here is that we have to use our intuition, but our intuition is not entirely of our own control because we cannot use our intuition to forgive ourselves of everything we have ever done, and therefore our intuition is something outside of us, and therefore God is a concrete existence somewhere outside of us. ### 1:31:41 seg-0185 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0185` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0185](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0185) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5501s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5501s) Okay. All right. So let's try to make this simple, okay? It might be wrong, but let's try to make it simple, okay? Your intuition is ultimately... your connection to the divine, to the universe, okay? Because, like, where does your intuition come from? It comes from the source. But there are ways in which to strengthen this connection, okay? Knowledge, reading, inquiry, debate, love, faith. Does that make sense? So live a life of love, faith, inquiry, pursuit of knowledge, and this will strengthen your intuition. Because... For Dante, science and intuition are not mutually exclusive. They are codependent. Only with intuition can you truly be a scientist. Does that make sense, guys? All right. Let's keep on going, Carol. ### 1:32:44 seg-0186 - Speaker: SPEAKER_01 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0186` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0186](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0186) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5564s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=5564s) Paradise, Canto 5, line 79. If evil greed would summon you elsewhere, be men and not like sheep gone mad, so that the Jew who lives among you not deride you. Do not act like the foolish, wanton lamb that leaves its mother's milk and heedless wants to war against and harm its very self. These words of Beatrice I hear transcribed. And then she turned, her longing at the full, to where the world is more alive with light. Her silence and the change in her appearance imposed a silence on my avid mind, which now was ready to address new questions. And even as an arrow that has struck the mark, before the bowcord comes to rest, so did we race to reach the second realm. When she had passed into that heaven's light, I saw my lady filled with so much gladness that, at her joy, the planet grew more bright.

As in a fish pool that is calm and clear, the fish draw close to anything that nears its limit. I saw the stars and the stars from outside, if it seems to be their fair. Such were the far more than a thousand splendors I saw approaching us. And each declared, here now is one who will increase our love. And even as each shade approached, one saw, because of the bright radiance it set forth, the joyous with which that shade was filled. Consider, reader, what your mystery and need to know still more would be if, at this point, what I began did not go on. And you will, unassisted, feel how I longed so to hear those shades narrate their state as soon as they appeared before my eyes.

It is Dante that promotes the idea of the individual that we take for granted today, but which was revolutionary back in his time. So yes. So we have another 20 minutes, but I want to talk about some ideas. So I don't want to give you the impression that our discussion is the end -all and be -all, that we've uncovered the truth. I want to go over into the limitations of a discussion. The first limitation, as you can appreciate, is this is written in Italian. We are reading in English because we don't speak Italian. ### 1:41:59 seg-0197 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0197` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0197](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0197) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6119s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6119s) This is a severe limitation because it prevents us from doing literary analysis. We can't study the words. We can't study the diction, the syntax. And so it limits our true understanding of what Dante is trying to convey. It doesn't make sense. Unless you read this in Italian, it is impossible to truly decipher his meaning. ### 1:42:24 seg-0198 - Speaker: SPEAKER_01 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0198` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0198](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0198) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6144s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6144s) And we've invited someone Italian to come read some passages for us later in the workshop. ### 1:42:31 seg-0199 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0199` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0199](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0199) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6151s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6151s) Yeah, and that would be great, but the point I'm trying to make is, unless you read it in Italian by yourself, you'll never truly understand it, okay? Okay, that's point one. Point two is that, we discussed this before, but in the Divine Comedy, there's a lot of numerology and mathematics. Because if you think about it, for Dante, mathematics is the underlying truth of the universe, okay? Mathematics, numerology is what provides the structure of the universe. And there's a lot of actual numerology. Okay. And mathematics within the Divine Comedy, the most basic example is a structure where it's 34 cantos in Inferno, 33 in Purgatory, and 33 in Paradise. And also, if you look at the structure of the poem, it's three lines by three lines by three lines, okay? There's clearly a numerology of significance to number three because of what? When you think three, what do you think? ### 1:43:33 seg-0200 - Speaker: SPEAKER_07 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0200` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0200](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0200) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6213s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6213s) Trinity. ### 1:43:33 seg-0201 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0201` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0201](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0201) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6213s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6213s) The Trinity, okay? Do you understand? Okay. So, what Dante is doing is he is using mathematics in order to portray the divine structure of the universe, to express its intent, sorry, its intentionality, okay, its design, okay? So unless you really study the mathematics, it's, again, hard to understand the Divine Comedy. We're not going to do that because a lot of mathematics is in Italian, okay? Mathematics would also include syllabi. We can't do the syllables and the rhymes and all that, okay? So we can't do the numerology as well. The third thing that we're missing that's very important for Divine Comedy is astrology. So at this time in history, astrology is science, right? You think that the movement of stars will determine the course of events. And if you read Divine Comedy, if you look at Paradise, obviously, there's a lot of astrology here, okay? Obviously, the way that the stars have been positioned. The way that Dante is looking at the stars from a certain angle, it's all significant. ### 1:44:43 seg-0202 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0202` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0202](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0202) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6283s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6283s) But I don't understand any of this stuff, okay? So astrology is also very key. Then you have the symbology. So we looked at certain symbols last class, for example, the four circles and the three crosses. And we pointed out how you can have lots of rich discussions over the meaning of these symbols. There are lots of symbols scattered throughout Divine Comedy. And obviously, there's a lot of deep meaning under these symbols. But unless you actually study symbology, you don't know what they are, okay? What Dante is doing that's very important is that he's combining different traditions together, right? Not just the Christian tradition, but also the pagan tradition, also the Islamic tradition, the Gnostic tradition. There's all sorts of traditions. He's combining together in order to create the symbology, the imagery that underlies the Divine Comedy, okay? ### 1:45:53 seg-0203 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0203` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0203](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0203) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6353s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6353s) And the last element that we can look at is the occult, okay? Occult esoterism. What is the occult? The occult is basically talking to demons and angels, okay? And if you actually know the occult, you will understand there's a lot of occult symbolism, a lot of occult references. I don't know these references, so I cannot bring them out. Yes? ### 1:46:24 seg-0204 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0204` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0204](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0204) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6384s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6384s) Personally, based on my understanding, I would argue that the original meaning of the word occult is actually the hidden, and the occult can refer to more than angels and demons. In fact, if we're referring to that, we often refer to them using, for example, demonology. So the occult could also refer to other topics. ### 1:46:45 seg-0205 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0205` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0205](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0205) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6405s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6405s) Yeah. Right. The occult just means what's hidden from us. Right. Or what is esoteric. Okay? Yes. But most people refer to it as just talking to demons and angels, okay? And clearly, Dante spends a lot of time talking to demons and angels, right? And the last thing I would say is just magic, okay? Magic manifestation. So why I bring this out is, like, there is an entire universe in the Divine Comedy. Okay? We cannot access because of limitations of our language, because of limitations of our knowledge. So even though we're having these rich discussions, appreciate that there's only a small fragment of the entirety of the Divine Comedy. And the entire purpose of this class is to encourage you to spend your entire lifetime studying the Divine Comedy. There's about 20 of you in this classroom. I guarantee you, if you were to spend the next 50 years, you would have spent your entire life studying the Divine Comedy. ### 1:47:54 seg-0206 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0206` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0206](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0206) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6474s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6474s) Each and every one of you would have a radically different interpretation of the Divine Comedy because some of you may learn Italian and go study numerology. Some of you may learn Italian and go study symbology. Okay? In which case, you present a radically different conception of your understanding. Another way of saying this is, the Divine Comedy, what it really is, is the secret garden. It's the Bible of humanity. Right? The Bible is the major religious text for most people in this world, but if you are an intellectual, if you are an aspiring writer, the Divine Comedy is what will guide you in your imaginations. Okay? If you read the Divine Comedy throughout your entire life, I guarantee you, you are going to be one of our greatest intellectuals, one of our greatest writers, one of our greatest thinkers, because there's so much richness. Also, if you actually read the Divine Comedy and you study things like the Kabbalah, you know the Kabbalah comes from the Divine Comedy. ### 1:49:07 seg-0207 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0207` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0207](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0207) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6547s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6547s) Okay? This is something that we might discuss later on, but the Jewish Kabbalah is basically inspired by the Divine Comedy. It's something that people don't recognize. But if you're a really smart person, you're really interested in the esoteric, in the occult, in magic. God, then the Divine Comedy is the best source material that you can have. Okay? And again, I am just amazed at the level of accomplishment. I mean, it is, I think, certainly the greatest individual human achievement in history, far greater than Einstein or Newton. Right? But also, I think that if we were to rank the Divine Comedy to other great achievements, okay, the pyramids, the nuclear bomb, the computer, whatever, I still think the Divine Comedy is superior. Okay? That's my own feeling. Also, I will say that because I have access to all of this, ### 1:50:20 seg-0208 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0208` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0208](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0208) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6620s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6620s) okay, these six things I'm missing from my capacity to fully analyze the Divine Comedy, it also means we'll probably skip certain sections. Okay? Does that make sense? Because certain sections are heavy into the occult, astrology, and mathematics. And there's really no point for us to read it because, like, I don't understand what's going on. Right? Okay? So any questions about this? ### 1:50:39 seg-0209 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0209` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0209](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0209) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6639s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6639s) Yes? Do you remember the first time you read Divine Comedy and how it felt like? Yeah. ### 1:50:44 seg-0210 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0210` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0210](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0210) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6644s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6644s) I had no idea what I was reading. I mean, I started reading Divine Comedy about four years ago for the first time. I didn't read this at Yale. I think you have to get Italian. I don't know. I started reading Divine Comedy. I can't remember. And for the first, like, many, many months, I didn't understand anything. Okay? Like, I would read the words. Like, I don't understand what's going on. Okay? I would watch videos. I think I watched, like, 100 hours of, like, videos explaining to me what Divine Comedy is. It made me even more confused. Okay? Try it. Try going to YouTube. Try watching what these professors say about Divine Comedy. It will just confuse you even more. And so I'm really, really frustrated. But I am, I have to teach this to my students. Okay? I'm teaching in a high school. And I've taught Homer. I've taught Plato. And I'm like, I should teach Dante as well. ### 1:51:44 seg-0211 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0211` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0211](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0211) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6704s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6704s) So I'm like, oh, my God. I'm going to, I am going to be a complete idiot. Okay? But I really, really want to teach this to my students. Because I really want to teach great books. And then, right? One morning, I wake up, and it felt as though Dante walked into my dreams. And he gave me certain ideas. And he said, love. Okay? If you want to understand Divine Comedy, think about what love is. Think about what the meaning of love is. And that will lead you to the right path. And then Divine Comedy started to, like, open up to me. Like, the words started to connect together. Okay? And it goes back to the idea of Picarda, where if there's a will, there's a way. Where I, for, like, four months, felt completely hopeless. Like, this is impossible. This is just stupid. I can't understand what's going on. All these YouTube videos are making me more confused. ### 1:52:51 seg-0212 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0212` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0212](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0212) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6771s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6771s) I felt hopeless. But when you really want it, the universe will respond. Maybe not the way you expect. Maybe not in the way you want. But it will. It will respond. It will guide you to the right path. Okay? So, it's only a question of will and desire. Yes? ### 1:53:12 seg-0213 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0213` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0213](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0213) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6792s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6792s) So, something I would like to comment on. Something that I noticed and I think is interesting but understandable given its time is that so, in fantasy, like, in fantasy fiction, there are two types of magic. There's hard magic and there's soft magic. And hard magic is when you do something, like, one plus one, and you expect it to equal two. And soft magic is when you don't know what will turn up. Magic just turns up when it needs to. So, I think Dante's magic, Dante's esotericism is closer to soft magic than hard magic. But it's already showing the basic science of hard magic, which I think is really interesting because in Catholicism, you cannot expect God to do anything. So, Catholic magic or miracles is absolutely soft magic. However, as we evolved as the disciplines of the Kabbalah. As the disciplines of cultism evolved, we gradually got ourselves some rituals. We got ritualism and that evolved into hard magic where we do something and we expect something to happen. ### 1:54:12 seg-0215 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0215` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0215](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0215) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6852s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6852s) Okay. I agree with that. Yeah. What I'll also say is that I really think divine comedy is the word of God. It's a universe speaking through Dante. And that's why I say it's perfect, okay? I've not been able to find a flaw in divine comedy. I mean, like, look at the beauty of its structure. Look at the beauty of its language. Look at the economy of its ideas, okay? We're able to take one sentence and have, like, hours and hours of discussions based on this. So, I think it's going to be worth your while to spend the rest of your life studying divine comedy. It is that good. And there is magic, definitely magic in this. And the more you study, the more you will discover, okay? I cannot say this about the Bible. I'm sorry. I've actually said the Bible. It is a complete mess, okay? If you actually said the Bible, you're like, what's going on here? ### 1:55:15 seg-0216 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0216` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0216](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0216) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6915s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=6915s) But divine comedy, the poetry makes it perfect, right? Because let's just say you're in the Middle Ages and you hear Dante recite poetry, right? What do you think? What are you thinking? It's God, right? It's God taking possession of Dante and Dante is reciting the poetry. Same thing if, you know, you go to a concert and you might have a favorite musician. When the musician is singing, you think it's the universe singing. It's God that's singing, right? It touches you that deeply. All right, okay. So, when we come back from the break, we will go into the history of the Catholic Church. Okay? First, we'll show you the official history of the Catholic Church. And then we will show, I'll show you how Dante presents a new understanding of Jesus. Okay? All right. Any questions? Okay, guys. So, I will see you after the break, okay? What ### 2:11:15 seg-0217 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0217` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0217](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0217) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=7875s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=7875s) I'm going to do before we read Dante is I'm going to introduce the Catholic version of history. Okay? So, the end point of history is the Catholic Church. Because the Catholic Church is the manifestation of God on earth. Okay? It's heaven on earth. So, all the events that led the Catholic Church were preordained. They were intended by God. Okay? And the thing that starts history and which leads to the end point of history is the Catholic Church. This Catholic Church is, of course, Rome. Rome. It is God's intention, it's God's will that Rome conquer the world. So, it starts off this very small, poor place in the Italian peninsula. And it gradually expands outwards. And it conquers the entire Mediterranean, right? It destroys Carthage, the three Punic Wars. And now it controls most of the world. Spanning the Mediterranean from Spain all the way to Egypt, all the way to Syria and the Levant. Okay? ### 2:12:39 seg-0218 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0218` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0218](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0218) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=7959s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=7959s) And this is the Roman Empire. Now, during the course of the Roman Empire, a civil war breaks out. Okay? And, of course, Julius Caesar will win this war. But he will become assassinated by Brutus and Cassius. And this will lead to the rise of Arthasius Caesar. And after Arthasius Caesar dies, Tiberius Caesar will come into power. And as during the time of Tiberius Caesar, Christianity is born. And it spreads. It's spreading throughout the Roman Empire. And it's a miracle because in the beginning, in the first hundred years, it's persecuted. It's a very fringe religion. But by about 200 years, 200 years, it becomes an official religion. It's a religion of the Roman Empire because of Constantine. And Constantine will decide to shift his capital from Rome to Constantinople, which is modern -day Istanbul. And this begins the Byzantine Empire, which is the Eastern Roman Empire. And the great emperor of the Byzantine Empire is, of course, Justinian, who we are meeting or who we have met in my comedy. ### 2:14:07 seg-0219 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0219` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0219](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0219) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8047s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8047s) And Justinian will narrate the story of the Roman Empire. But it's basically like this. Now, as we know, the Roman Empire does split in half between the Western and the Eastern. The Eastern Empire will fall to the Turks in the 16th century, about 1,000 years later. But the Western Empire falls about the year 400. And when it falls, Europe is broken into different kingdoms. Different factions. And about the year 800, Charlemagne of the Franks will unite all of Europe and create something called the Holy Roman Empire. And the Holy Roman Empire will last until who? Did you guys know your history? Who destroys the Holy Roman Empire? Excuse me? No, that's the Roman Empire. Who destroys the Holy Roman Empire? Did you guys know your history? Napoleon. Napoleon, yes. Napoleon Bonaparte. So that's a long way, okay? This is about 1800. ### 2:15:24 seg-0220 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0220` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0220](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0220) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8124s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8124s) So the Holy Roman Empire lasts for a long, long time. And from the perspective of dominant Europeans, this is all the stability, the continuity, it's all because of the will of God. Okay? Now, over the course of this time, as I said, Christianity will develop. Okay? And Christianity will come to replace the Holy Roman Empire as the most powerful force in Europe. And Christianity will come to replace the Holy Roman Empire as the most powerful force in the world. So it starts, of course, with the birth of Jesus in about 4 BCE. Okay? And then 33 is when he is crucified. And with his death, it will begin the, it will begin Christianity. What will happen is that Peter will become the first bishop of Rome, basically the first pope. Okay? And then Paul will build the foundations of Christianity. And we'll meet both Peter and Paul in the Divine Comedy. Not Jesus, but Peter and Paul. ### 2:16:28 seg-0221 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0221` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0221](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0221) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8188s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8188s) Then what happens is that Christianity spreads and it becomes official under Constantine. Okay? So now the Catholic Church is official. Now, in 325, this is something called the Council of Nicaea. Nicaea is in modern -day Turkey. But the Council of Nicaea is a radical turning point in Christian history. Because before, every single place in Europe had its own distinct church that blended Christian elements with local pagan practice. The Council of Nicaea attempted to standardize Christianity by resolving certain theological conflicts within the church. Okay? And there are quite a few major conflicts. The first major conflict is the nature of Jesus. Okay? So everyone worships Jesus. That's why you're a Christian. But what was Jesus? There are some who said that Jesus was God incarnate. Right? There are some who said Jesus was a man who was anointed by God to be his messenger. Okay? And the solution that they came up with is that God is both man and God. ### 2:17:54 seg-0222 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0222` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0222](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0222) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8274s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8274s) Okay? This is really important for you guys to appreciate. Jesus has a dual nature. Both God and man. Both divine and both human. Why is this important? You had to have Jesus both as divine and as human. Why? Do you guys know why? Do you? You can't be like this guy's a man. You can't be this guy's a God. You have to be both. Why? ### 2:18:23 seg-0223 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0223` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0223](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0223) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8303s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8303s) Well, from a literary perspective, we all like a main character we can relate to. And if Jesus was holy God, then we can't relate to him that much. And if he was holy human, then, well, what business does he have doing all these nice things for us? ### 2:18:40 seg-0224 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0224` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0224](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0224) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8320s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8320s) Okay. But there's actually a much more serious reason. Yes? ### 2:18:46 seg-0225 - Speaker: SPEAKER_14 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0225` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0225](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0225) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8326s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8326s) Because, therefore, he can save all the human. By how? By salvation. Okay. ### 2:18:56 seg-0226 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0226` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0226](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0226) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8336s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8336s) So, the main reason is the crucifixion, right? Right? It doesn't make sense, guys. Crucifixion. So, the idea is that sacrifice only makes sense if he could die. Do you understand? You say, God, you crucify him. Who cares? That's nothing. So, he needed to have a human element. In order for his sacrifice to be worthwhile. To be worthy of redeeming us. Okay? So, that's one major theological debate. And quite honestly, it still goes on today. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of different sects of Christianity arguing about this. Okay? But the really big question is the relationship between God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus. Right? Because now we've affirmed that Jesus is God. That's why we worship him. That's why we're Christians. But why does God appear in the Bible? And why does the Holy Spirit? And why does Jesus? Right? What is the relationship between these three? And, historically, there have been different explanations. The Council of Nicaea is important because it established the Holy Trinity. ### 2:20:12 seg-0227 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0227` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0227](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0227) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8412s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8412s) Okay? The Holy Trinity. The concept here is God, Jesus, and God. the Holy Spirit are separate, but one. It doesn't make sense. They are both different, but the same at the same time, okay? So the Council of Nakia establishes the Holy Trinity, and quite honestly, most Christians were aghast at this idea. It started civil wars. This is what launched civil wars throughout the Christian world, okay? But, the Byzantine Empire enforced the Holy Trinity throughout, and even today, there's still arguments about the Holy Trinity, okay? So this is a Council of Nakia with important ideas to keep in mind, because I might discuss this for a bit of Divine Comedy. Then we go to about 400. Why is this important?

Now you have two major seats of power, the Holy Roman Empire, as well as the Catholic Church, and they're always fighting, okay? ### 2:23:45 seg-0230 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0230` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0230](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0230) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8625s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=8625s) The Holy Roman Empire is fighting to figure out who will be pope. That's not a temporal issue, that's not a worldly issue. The Vatican is fighting to install a friendly emperor in the Holy Roman Empire, okay? This is happening for centuries. This is leading to wars throughout Europe. It's also leading to massive oppression, massive censorship, the destruction of creativity in Europe. And this impels Dante to write the Divine Comedy to address a lot of these histories, okay? So what Dante's gonna do is the first thing he's gonna do is present the official story of the Catholic Church. And then he's gonna make some adjustments to it, okay, to reconcile the differences. Now some really important history that Dante will go into is why did Jesus have to die, okay? What was the point of the death, of the death of Dante? jesus and as you know it was to redeem ### 2:24:58 seg-0231 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0231` -

And once you pick a path of evil, what often happens is that it becomes like a snowball, okay? Okay? Rolling down and accumulating. So we do one stupid act, then we do another, then we do more evil.

Thus, if the penalty the cross inflicted is measured by the nature he assumed, no one has ever been so justly stung. Yet none was ever done so great a wrong. If we regard the person made to suffer, he who had gathered in himself that nature. Thus, from one action issued differing things. God and the Jews were pleased by one same death. Earth trembled for that death, and heaven opened. You need no longer find it difficult to understand when it is said that just vengeance was then avenged by a just court.

The first way is if we make amends, okay? But there's a problem with that. What's the problem with that? How can we make amends for the original sin? Okay, first of all, what is the original sin? Do you guys know what the original sin is? Yeah, go ahead first, and then you, okay? We ate from the knowledge. But what is that? What motivated us? Yes? And then you.

The problem was not disobedience. The problem was the serpent told Eve, you eat this fruit, and you'll become like God. Meaning, we want to overthrow God, okay? This is the original sin. Not the stupid fruit, okay? Who cares if you eat the fruit? The original sin is our hearts became evil. Our hearts became so evil and vicious that we wanted to kill God and become God ourselves.

At this time in history, what the Catholic Church teaches its followers, its flock, is that the original sin is our pride, okay? This is historical fact. This started with the Bible. And in the Bible, it literally says, that the serpent tempted Eve to eat the fruit because it would make her like God. It's literally in the Bible, in Genesis, okay? Then what Augustine, who will take this and say, the original sin is our pride. And this becomes the official doctrine of the Church, okay? You guys appreciate this. I'm not arguing with you if this is right or wrong. I'm just saying this is what is historically true. Okay? This is what Beatrice is saying, okay? According to the doctrine of the Church, we want to be like God. And, like, how can you make amends for that? And the answer is you cannot make amends for that. ### 3:18:05 seg-0322 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0322` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0322](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0322) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=11885s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=11885s) You want to kill God, okay? There's no way that you... There's nothing that you could do to appease God or make amends or redeem yourself. Because you did the worst thing possible in the universe, okay? Excuse me? The worst thing that you could do, yes, okay? But the worst thing that humanity has ever done in the universe is to try to kill God, okay? Okay. ### 3:18:38 seg-0323 - Speaker: SPEAKER_01 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0323` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0323](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0323) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=11918s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=11918s) Verse 94. Now fix your eyes on the profundity of the eternal counsel. Heed as closely as you are able to my reasoning. Man and his limits could not recompense for no obedience, no humility he offered later could have been so deep. Man and his limits could not recompense for no obedience, no humility he offered later could have been so deep. That it could match the heights he meant to reach through disobedience. Man lacked the power to offer satisfaction by himself. Thus, there was need for God through his own ways to bring man back to life intact. I mean by one way or by both. But since a deed pleases its doer more, the more it shows the goodness of the heart from which it springs. The godly goodness that imprints the world was happy to proceed through the world.

All right. Okay. So this is beautiful, okay? But this is the logic. The logic is we can't forgive ourselves so God must redeem us. But God has to redeem us in a way. that changes us for the better. And so he has a son. And the thing about his son is that it's a dual nature, right? Both man and God. Okay? So the fact that a man, Jesus, is going to redeem us will help save us, okay? Because now we are engaged in our own salvation through Jesus. It doesn't make sense, guys.

And God spent 1,000 years, 2,000 years, who knows, thinking of a solution. And his answer is, well, first of all, I can't just forget. I can't forgive these guys. They'll learn nothing. And I need them to do it themselves. But they're humans, and they're kind of lame, so they can't do it themselves. So the only solution is for the Son of God to become man. Okay? That's the only solution. A million possible scenarios. There's only one scenario that could possibly redeem us, and it's for the Son of God to become man. He sacrificed, okay? That's the only way forward.

Okay, all right. So what I'm going to do now is help us appreciate, the genius of the sacrifice of Jesus, okay? So I'm going to give you a thought experiment. The thought experiment is this. You are a mother or a father, who cares? You're a parent, okay? And you have a daughter named Eve. And one day, you bring home a dog, okay? And Eve asks you, do you love this dog? More, or do you love me more? And we're like, we love you both. Come on, man. Of course we love you both. And then Eve's like, okay. Then Eve can't sleep, because she's really disturbed by this question. Does my mother or father love me more, or the dog more, okay? So then she comes up with this solution to solve this problem, which is, she kills a dog, right? She's like, I'm going to kill the dog. And that's going to show me if my parents love me more or love the dog more, okay? ### 3:23:19 seg-0330 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0330` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0330](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0330) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12199s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12199s) Now, as the parent, you're completely screwed, okay? Because let's think about this. What do you do? You told Eve you love them both. You love both the dog and Eve, your daughter. Your daughter is confused by this. And so she's like, well, I'm curious now who my parents really love. So I'm going to kill the dog. I'm going to kill the dog and see what happens, okay? And so what do you do? ### 3:24:00 seg-0331 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0331` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0331](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0331) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12240s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12240s) Maybe I would like to say that this dog is the dog I love most, and you're the daughter I love most. So if in that case... Yeah, but your dog's dead. Yeah, if in that case, the girl does not like to test it, because she knows that he's the only one... No, the dog is dead. Oh, he's already dead. Yeah, so what do you do? ### 3:24:19 seg-0332 - Speaker: SPEAKER_02 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0332` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0332](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0332) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12259s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12259s) What do you do? I would... I mean, in the context of Jesus, you punish yourself in a way. So they would see that what you did hurt them more. And so to forgive them, you have to punish yourself. Yeah, okay, okay. ### 3:24:41 seg-0333 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0333` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0333](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0333) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12281s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12281s) So that's the logic, okay? All right? So because you're kind of screwed, okay? If you don't do anything, what's Eve going to do next? Kill more animals, okay? So you cannot do anything. You cannot do nothing. You got to be like, I forgive you, Eve. Oh, it's... You're just a kid. Don't worry about it, okay? You got to do something, okay? But if you punish her, that proves to her you love the dog more, right? So anything you do, you're kind of screwed. So your only solution, okay, of a million possibilities is you punish yourself. You hit yourself to show Eve, I have to punish you, but you punish yourself. And when she sees that, what does she think? She thinks... My father, my mother truly, truly loves me. And will she ever kill an animal again? No, okay? Because she's seen what will happen if an animal dies. The parents will suffer. And so ### 3:25:42 seg-0334 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0334` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0334](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0334) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12342s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12342s) she's convinced by the love of the parent, and therefore, she's now fully committed to loving her parents to the best of the ability, okay? That's the logic behind the sacrifice of Jesus. To show all of us that God truly loves. Loves us, so that we can now return to loving God. This is a reconciliation, okay? Does it make sense, guys? Yes? ### 3:26:08 seg-0335 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0335` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0335](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0335) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12368s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12368s) I think this is a very strange metaphor, because if I was the parent, I would send Eve to therapy.

Like, I think this is a very absolute situation. Like, it's either punishment or it's allowance. Like, why couldn't there be a middle? Why couldn't there be education in the middle? ### 3:26:29 seg-0338 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0338` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0338](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0338) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12389s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12389s) Okay.

All right. You know what? I'm going to call the police, and the police are going to come and arrest Eve. Oh, you know what? Screw this. I'm going to call the therapist. The therapist will come and solve this problem with me. Is it... Will this make things worse or better?

A therapist will probably make her take pills, okay? Yeah. Right? And that's a punishment. In which case, what does it tell Eve about her parents? Her parents love the therapist. They probably don't love her, man. Right? They're like, I don't want to deal with this crap. I'm going to send her to a therapist. Yeah? ### 3:27:55 seg-0345 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0345` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0345](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0345) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12475s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12475s) No, I think that's... To be honest, I think in the context of this metaphor, that is a really irresponsible way of thinking, because as a parent, I am not a psychological expert, and I do not have the resources to help my child. And to help my child, I have to give her... I have to give my money. I have to give my time to someone who is more licensed, who is more qualified than I am to help my child. ### 3:28:17 seg-0346 - Speaker: SPEAKER_02 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0346` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0346](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0346) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12497s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12497s) You're...

It's about... It's about... Like, Eve is trapped in this dilemma where she believes that if you send me to therapy, if you punish me by just a little bit in any means, any way, it shows to me that you don't love me. Yeah. That's her logic, you know? Then you kind of... In her logic, you have, you know... But how is therapy a punishment? For her, it is a punishment. Whether you slap her, you scold her... ### 3:29:05 seg-0350 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0350` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0350](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0350) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12545s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12545s) I guarantee you that if you kill a dog, okay, and you go to therapy, they're going to make you take pills.

But as a parent, do we take Eve's logic as permanent? Do we accept that? Or do we need to kind of, you know, do something on our own behalf to kind of try to tweak that logic or change that logic? ### 3:29:32 seg-0352 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0352` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0352](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0352) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12572s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12572s) I'm actually confused, like, how...

But I do have kids, which is why this is particularly concerning for me. I would be the first guy to try to kind of sit down with Eve and try to understand where she comes from. And then we go from there. Like, maybe, you know... ### 3:30:05 seg-0357 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0357` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0357](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0357) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12605s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12605s) Listen, I have three kids. And any of them could pull this crap on us. I mean, like... That's just how kids are. I mean, like, I'm not saying my kids are going to do this. But I'm saying, like, I can imagine them doing this crap on me. Yeah? ### 3:30:25 seg-0358 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0358` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0358](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0358) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12625s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12625s) So, I noticed that a lot of you have, like, issues with outsourcing help for your kids. Well, what I have to say is your kid needs food and your kid needs water, right? So, as a parent, are you going to farm the food yourself and get the water from the river yourself because you want to do everything for your kid because you're the one who knows them best? Of course not. ### 3:30:46 seg-0359 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0359` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0359](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0359) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12646s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12646s) But I don't understand why you're convinced that a therapist knows exactly what he or she is doing. You're convinced that a stranger with a PhD knows more about the child than you, the parent? ### 3:31:03 seg-0360 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0360` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0360](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0360) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12663s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12663s) Yes, I'm convinced that they know more than you. I'm not saying that they know everything. I'm convinced that they know more about the child's behavioral patterns than you do. ### 3:31:12 seg-0361 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0361` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0361](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0361) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12672s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12672s) Okay. But then there's the question of risk, right? Right. So, a therapist has different skin in the game than you as the parent. So, naturally, even though the therapist might have the set of tools, the application of those tools coupled with the risk you take as the parent to the kid, I think, in the end, the parent, it still falls on the parent. Okay. ### 3:31:32 seg-0362 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0362` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0362](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0362) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12692s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12692s) Are you okay with this scenario, okay? Let's just say God's like, you know what? I really should send my son to crucify himself. That's kind of stupid. I don't know, dude. I'll create this alien species, okay, that is infinitely wise. Okay. And I'll have them come and rule over humanity.

The thing about therapy that most people don't realize is that the therapist doesn't force you to believe anything. The therapist doesn't yell at you. The therapist asks you, and they subtly guide you towards something better. They give you a choice. They give you your free will. They respect your free will. That's what a lot of people don't realize. ### 3:32:09 seg-0364 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0364` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0364](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0364) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12729s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12729s) Okay. So, you and I are just trying to disagree about therapists, okay? All right? Therapists don't actually... It doesn't matter, okay? All right. But we're trying to explain the logic of Dante, right? And this is a really beautiful explanation, and I think it's a very convincing explanation for why Jesus had to die, okay? It is not about redemption. It's not about justice or vengeance. It's really about inspiration and education, right? Okay? Because once we've seen and once we know... That Jesus killed himself for our sins, it gives us a spiritual power, and it makes us closer to God. And this is why this marks a radical turning point in human history. Does that make sense, guys? Okay? Because before you ask yourself, why is it there are two billion Christians in the world? I'm not a Christian, by the way. Okay? And why is it that everyone says that Christianity... Marks a radical turning point in human history? ### 3:33:22 seg-0365 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0365` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0365](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0365) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12802s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12802s) And now Dante provides an answer, okay? Because the death of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus, is able to rekindle a spark in us that was once lost, okay? It's drawn us closer to God. Before, we were on the wrong path. We were in a desert, and we were lost. And now we see the light, and we're moving towards the light, okay? All right? So do you guys understand the logic here? All right? Any questions about this? Okay. All right. But you can also see, and this is really important, guys, this beautiful explanation also subverts Catholic theology, okay? Do you understand? Because before, Catholic theology was based on vengeance and justice. Now it's based on love and sacrifice. Does that make sense? Does that make sense, guys? Okay? Before, the operating principle was one of fear, of vengeance. Now it's just love. Everything happens because God loves us. And that's why God had to be so careful and deliberate in his solution to this problem. ### 3:34:52 seg-0366 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0366` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0366](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0366) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12892s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12892s) Okay?

Let's keep on reading. ### 3:34:58 seg-0367 - Speaker: SPEAKER_01 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0367` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0367](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0367) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12898s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12898s) First one. One, two, seven. And yet these two were things created. If what has been said above is true, then these things never should be subject to corruption. ### 3:35:10 seg-0368 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0368` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0368](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0368) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12910s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12910s) Okay. All right. So the question is, if it is true that God is perfect, everything God does is perfect, why does imperfection exist in the world? For example, our bodies, right? Our bodies are imperfect. We feel pain. We die. So why is there imperfection in the world? Keep on going. ### 3:35:43 seg-0369 - Speaker: SPEAKER_01 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0369` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0369](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0369) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12943s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=12943s) Verse 130. Brother, the angels in the pure country where you are now, these may be said to be created, as they are in all their being, whereas the elements that you have mentioned, as well as those things that are made from them, receive their form from a creative power. The matter they contain had been created. Just as within the stars that wheel about them, the power to give form had been created. The rays and motion of the holy lights draw forth the soul of every animal and plant from matter able to take form. But your life is breathed forth immediately by the chief good, who so enamors it of his own self that it desires him always. So reasoning, you also can. You can deduce your resurrection. You need but remember the way in which your human flesh was fashioned when both of the first parents were created. ### 3:36:44 seg-0370 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0370` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0370](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0370) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13004s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13004s) Okay. All right. Okay. So why is there imperfection in the world? Why is it that plants wither and die? Why is it that we wither and die? Why? Why? If God is perfect, everything God creates is perfect, then why is there imperfection in the world? Yes. ### 3:37:10 seg-0371 - Speaker: SPEAKER_08 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0371` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0371](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0371) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13030s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13030s) If everything is perfect, there's no meaning. ### 3:37:13 seg-0372 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0372` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0372](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0372) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13033s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13033s) Okay.

So according to this theoretical framework, like, you have humans and you have other life, as in planted animals. So technically, planted animals are closer to God than we are because they live in perfect, almost blind obedience to God. And I guess I'm going to ask you about God's natural laws. That is, the laws of physics and the laws of biology. Well, we humans can't consistently defy these laws. ### 3:44:35 seg-0400 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0400` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0400](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0400) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13475s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13475s) No, that's the complete opposite of what I just said. Yes. None of them have souls. Okay. So God creates the universe. The universe is governed by these laws that he creates, okay? The laws of physics. This gives rise to everything, including evolution, which creates us. Right? What makes us unique is God touched us. us. God put a part of himself into us. And this part of ourselves that we don't really know, the soul, what it always desires is to return to the whole. We're a part, we want to return to the whole, okay? Everything we do is because we desire to return to the whole, okay? Does that make sense? That's our greatest desire, to return to the whole. We may not know it, we may be ignorant of it, but that's what we truly, truly aspire to, okay? All right, soul reasoning, you can deduce your own resurrection. You need to remember the way in which your human flesh was fashioned when both of the first parents were created. ### 3:45:43 seg-0401 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0401` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0401](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0401) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13543s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13543s) What does this mean? What's the message here? Yes? Go ahead. ### 3:46:02 seg-0402 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0402` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0402](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0402) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13562s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13562s) So basically, he was saying that both of the first parents referred to Adam and Eve, obviously, and basically, he is restating that thing in Christianity where the soul is immortal. So if you can remember a time before your corrupt flesh, then you're immortal now. Yes, exactly, okay? ### 3:46:20 seg-0403 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0403` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0403](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0403) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13580s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13580s) Sorry, do you want to say something? Okay, so what this is saying is like, remember that you think you're a body, you think you're human, but what you are really is an aspect of God. That's what your soul is, an aspect of God, and that makes you eternal, okay? So, So in other words, you can't possibly die. You can only be reborn and be reborn, okay? So if this is the case, what's the purpose of life, right? Because today you're taught that the purpose of life is to seek immortality, to live forever, to be wealthy, right? Don't die. Don't die. But this is telling us, well, you weren't going to die anyway. Who cares? Then what's the purpose of life then? Yes? ### 3:47:21 seg-0404 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0404` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0404](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0404) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13641s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13641s) Somehow, I believe life is just about being happy, making yourself as happy as possible without harming other people. But I'm pretty sure that this is the perspective that Dante explicitly disagrees with. ### 3:47:32 seg-0405 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0405` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0405](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0405) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13652s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13652s) What would Dante say? ### 3:47:34 seg-0406 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0406` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0406](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0406) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13654s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13654s) Well, he rejects the materialism of the Catholic Church, obviously. And basically, the pilgrim Dante is alive here. He is flesh and blood here. And yet he is climbing up to heaven. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He's up into heaven. So basically, what he's trying to say, what I think he's trying to say is that we have to pursue not material pleasures, but a spiritual good. ### 3:48:01 seg-0407 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0407` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0407](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0407) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13681s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13681s) Okay, so anyone else? What's the point of our existence? ### 3:48:06 seg-0408 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0408` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0408](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0408) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13686s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13686s) Oh, yeah, maybe because the God just tried to come back. So he just hoped that people can bring him back because we're a part of them. We're just like maybe a signal or what he just made us to bring him back, just like we make machine, machine man, right? Or rubber, rubber wool sometimes. So you're saying that God wants to come here? Yeah, he will come back because he live away, right? He will come back. So just like he said, I will come back if you trust me and I will come back. I don't understand why God wants to come here. ### 3:48:39 seg-0409 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0409` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0409](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0409) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13719s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13719s) Okay, anyone else?

Yeah. To desire him. So to know him and become like him, I guess. And just like even in paradise, you want to get closer to him, even in paradise. ### 3:48:55 seg-0411 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0411` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0411](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0411) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13735s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13735s) Yeah, but I'm saying how do you do that then? ### 3:49:00 seg-0412 - Speaker: SPEAKER_07 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0412` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0412](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0412) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13740s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13740s) I guess to know him and be more like him or desire. ### 3:49:03 seg-0413 - Speaker: SPEAKER_02 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0413` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0413](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0413) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13743s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13743s) I know, but I'm saying how, right? I think Dante would say the point of life is to love and to imagine. New Year's imagination. ### 3:49:16 seg-0414 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0414` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0414](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0414) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13756s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13756s) Okay, so these things are the same thing. Okay. The goal is to love, okay? Why would that be the most important thing you can do in life? Yeah? Because God is love. I understand that. God is love, but what's different between our world and his world? Why are we here? ### 3:49:57 seg-0415 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0415` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0415](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0415) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13797s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13797s) Yes. Because we're... I mean, according to Dante, like we're fragments of this love, right? If God is love, we're fragments of this love. And our journey for each and every one of us is to return to the source. So I guess that's... ### 3:50:13 seg-0416 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0416` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0416](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0416) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13813s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13813s) Okay, but then like why not just kill yourself? ### 3:50:15 seg-0417 - Speaker: SPEAKER_11 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0417` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0417](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0417) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13815s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13815s) Like right now?

So let's even feel about this, okay? Everything God does is perfect. Everything God does is for a perfect reason. He created this world, which is governed by perfect laws, but it's imperfect in that, well, there's evil, there's pain, there's hunger, there's agony, there's suffering. What's the point of all this? Why would he create a world like this? Yes? ### 3:51:42 seg-0425 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0425` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0425](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0425) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13902s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13902s) Well, if I didn't know about whole baptism thing, I would say that we are here and we have to live a full life and we have to live a good life because we have original sin and we have to redeem our souls, which are after all afflicted with original sin from the Adam and Eve business from original sin. But there's this whole baptism thing and therefore my explanation is null and void. ### 3:52:03 seg-0426 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0426` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0426](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0426) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13923s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13923s) Okay. All right. So an idea that you guys need to remember is that we don't have to redeem ourselves because Jesus already did it for us. Do you understand? Okay. This is a major assumption of divine comedy. So now the question then is, if we're redeemed, everything that is done is for a purpose, everything is in the mind of God, everything he does is for a perfect reason, what is the purpose of this world that we live in? ### 3:52:38 seg-0427 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0427` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0427](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0427) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13958s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13958s) Maybe there's, you know, just like experiment. How about we're living in two worlds. The one world is perfect world, just what God created. There's no misery, no sin, everything is perfect. But the other world is like us, where it may be just like hell, you know, we're in agony and we're in despair. So maybe God will try to test or try to make experiment, just like we put rats into two maids, right? And try to find out if it's just given the right result. And try to find the food. And I like to circle around the maids. So the right will try to knock down the door and try to find the food. So maybe. Yes, go ahead. ### 3:53:16 seg-0428 - Speaker: SPEAKER_07 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0428` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0428](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0428) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13996s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=13996s) Maybe because love is made perfect in pain and agony, maybe?

What is the relationship? ### 3:54:30 seg-0434 - Speaker: SPEAKER_04 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0434` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0434](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0434) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14070s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14070s) Teacher -student. ### 3:54:31 seg-0435 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0435` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0435](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0435) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14071s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14071s) Exactly. It's a teacher -student, right? Because Dante's asking questions and Beatrice is providing answers. Are Beatrice's answers perfect? Are they perfect? Are they the absolute truth? Yes. Yes, they are. Yeah. I understand. You can argue with her. But I'm saying like in - ### 3:54:52 seg-0436 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0436` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0436](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0436) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14092s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14092s) I'm saying that in Paradiso itself, Beatrice admitted that her words are but an imperfect reflection of the truth. She is trying to communicate the truth, but she is doing it to Dante, and Dante is not able to take the truth in his present form. ### 3:55:09 seg-0437 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0437` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0437](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0437) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14109s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14109s) Okay. All right. Okay. Let's take it step by step, okay? First, we've established that the relationship between Beatrice and Dante is perfect. She is a teacher -student, okay? That's point one. Point two is, even though you could be right in like how Beatrice expresses herself where Dante is imperfect, her understanding of the universe is perfect. Correct? Yes. Because she represents God. Everything she says is perfect. We may not understand what she says. Dante may misinterpret what she says, but everything she says is perfect, okay? That's number two. Number three then is what then is the point of teaching Dante? ### 3:55:53 seg-0438 - Speaker: SPEAKER_07 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0438` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0438](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0438) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14153s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14153s) So that he can be the mouthpiece and tell people like a prophet. ### 3:55:57 seg-0439 - Speaker: SPEAKER_02 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0439` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0439](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0439) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14157s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14157s) So, historically... Can I answer? Yeah. Well, Dante, the divine comedy is you go through hell first to get to heaven. So, earth is hell. And you can learn from all the materialistic things. You can learn if they're good or not and then return to God yourself. But you have to go through inferno first. Okay. ### 3:56:19 seg-0440 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0440` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0440](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0440) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14179s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14179s) So, in the Bible, there is a book called Ezekiel. Okay. Ezekiel. You can actually draw it up. Okay. So, we're going to ask Google, okay? How does Ezekiel receive the word of God? All right. So, Ezekiel, it's a book of the Bible. And he goes up to heaven. And he goes up to heaven to receive the word of God. Just like Dante is receiving the word of God. How does Ezekiel receive the word of God, do you think? Okay. So, AI is stupid, okay? No, no, no. If you read the Bible, okay, how does Ezekiel literally receive the word of God? Excuse me? ### 3:57:18 seg-0441 - Speaker: SPEAKER_07 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0441` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0441](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0441) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14238s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14238s) Because speak to God, he had a relationship with God? ### 3:57:21 seg-0442 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0442` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0442](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0442) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14241s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14241s) No, no, no. What God did was take the scrolls, right? The scrolls carry his message. And then what did God do? He stuffed it into the mouth of Ezekiel. And Ezekiel literally ate it. Do you understand? If you want to make sure the prophet delivers the right message, you stuff it down his throat. Do you understand? So, why is Beatrice wasting all this time dealing with Dante? Yes? ### 3:58:02 seg-0443 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0443` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0443](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0443) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14282s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14282s) Why did Ezekiel agree to have this stuffed down his throat? ### 3:58:07 seg-0444 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0444` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0444](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0444) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14287s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14287s) So, like, Dante is going through this experience and not just have all this stuff. All of the information is stuffed down his throat because the journey is what matters more than the information. ### 3:58:19 seg-0445 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0445` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0445](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0445) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14299s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14299s) Don't you think accuracy matters more? Like, if God wants to deliver a message to his people, don't you think, like, accuracy matters? Right? ### 3:58:28 seg-0446 - Speaker: SPEAKER_05 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0446` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0446](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0446) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14308s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14308s) I think it's not about, like, is it? Maybe it's the idea that it's not the end result or the accuracy. There's not a right answer, but it's the individual transformation and the individual journey that matters more. ### 3:58:43 seg-0447 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0447` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0447](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0447) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14323s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14323s) Why, though? I'm trying to figure this out, okay? I'm trying to figure out. Okay, like, in Ezekiel, you can just stuff the message down a person's throat so that he never forgets it, okay? And he must quote it word for word, right? But not only does Dante, but not only does Beatrice not stuff anything down her throat, but what happens after Dante goes home? Do you guys remember what happens after he goes home? ### 3:59:15 seg-0448 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0448` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0448](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0448) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14355s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14355s) He forgets a bunch of things. He forgets everything! Not everything. ### 3:59:19 seg-0449 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0449` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0449](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0449) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14359s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14359s) Basically everything. Okay? This is, like, really weird to, like, for God to deliver a message to people. Like, let's pick a guy who I have to teach, and then he'll probably forget most of everything I teach, and he's going to go back, and he's going to have to remember everything, okay? This is a really silly way of doing things. But God is perfect. Everything God does is for a reason. So what's the reason? ### 3:59:46 seg-0450 - Speaker: SPEAKER_10 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0450` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0450](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0450) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14386s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14386s) So can it be that God wants us to utilize our one gift, our one purpose, our one purpose, our one gift that he's given us, free will, to freely choose to be nearer to him, and we each have to take that trip, or that process individually? Dante can't take that trip for us. ### 4:00:04 seg-0451 - Speaker: UNKNOWN - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0451` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0451](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0451) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14404s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14404s) Okay. ### 4:00:05 seg-0452 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0452` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0452](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0452) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14405s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14405s) Yeah, that is correct, okay?

Pencil and paper. Did you guys not have it? Imagination. The imagination, do you understand? What is it that we have that God cannot have? The imagination. Why can't God have imagination? He's perfect. Do you understand? If you're perfect, you know everything. You cannot fail. Therefore, you cannot have an imagination. That's why Beatrice cannot come to our world and communicate with us directly, because she lacks the imagination to do so, right? That's the entire point of this journey. Dante must go through this journey himself in order to experience the truth of God, but then he must use his imagination in order to help us go on our own journey, and that is by writing Divine Comedy. The entire purpose of his visit to heaven, was so that he could write the Divine Comedy, okay? Basically, he's a journalist, and he's been invited to heaven to do some reporting ### 4:02:25 seg-0463 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0463` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0463](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0463) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14545s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14545s) and come back and then write in a very nice way so that we can all go on this journey ourselves, okay? That's why Dante had to go to heaven. That's why he had to write Divine Comedy, okay? So that we can, by ourselves, go on this journey to heaven and discover what God, truly is. Does that make sense, guys? Again, everything God does is for a perfect reason. If you don't know it, it's because you're not thinking hard enough, okay? Yes? ### 4:03:04 seg-0464 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0464` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0464](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0464) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14584s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14584s) Okay, this might be pushing the point here, but if God is perfect and there's nothing that we have that he doesn't have, then how does we have imagination and he doesn't? ### 4:03:12 seg-0465 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0465` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0465](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0465) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14592s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14592s) Yeah, that's a good question.

So if you already know everything, there's nothing to imagine, but we can imagine because we have gaps in our thinking. ### 4:03:46 seg-0468 - Speaker: SPEAKER_03 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0468` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0468](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0468) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14626s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14626s) Yeah, because our lives are limited, we want to transcend to higher, higher realms or higher consciousness. We, that's why we imagine. ### 4:03:56 seg-0469 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0469` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0469](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0469) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14636s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14636s) Okay, yeah, but the major point is that what Dante is saying is that we humans are not lesser beings. We are co -equal with God, because even though God has perfection, we have imagination. And so if you're God and you're trying to extend the boundaries of the universe, right, you're trying to create more things in the universe, you can't do so yourself because you're perfection. Okay, so you must use humanity. So everything that happens is for a divine purpose. You understand? And as you say, the reason why we have the imagination is because we have bodies and our bodies can suffer, bodies can feel pain, bodies can die. And what excites the imagination is the fact that we can ask questions. We can make mistakes. We can not know. Okay. Does that make sense? Yes. ### 4:05:05 seg-0470 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0470` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0470](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0470) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14705s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14705s) So we're going quantity over quality here, right? Because God could create anything he wants, but he is absolutely perfect. So he is tired of having to create everything. And so he wants people to create more things that he couldn't think of. But these things are going to be imperfect because these people who create are going to be imperfect too. Is that right? ### 4:05:28 seg-0471 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0471` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0471](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0471) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14728s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14728s) Um, okay. So let's just say you're God. Okay. And you want to create a perfect world. You do create a perfect world. What's the problem with that? It becomes eternal, right? What is eternity? ### 4:05:50 seg-0472 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0472` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0472](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0472) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14750s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14750s) Nothing ever changes. ### 4:05:51 seg-0473 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0473` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0473](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0473) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14751s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14751s) Eternity is death. You understand that? Eternity is death. So your only solution to life is infinity. Does that make sense? God is eternal. We are infinite. Love is eternal. The imagination is infinite. Okay. God is not capable of the imagination. Therefore, God had to create us. Okay. Does it make sense to you guys? ### 4:06:24 seg-0474 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0474` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0474](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0474) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14784s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14784s) Yeah. Well, actually, I think God and maybe just want to us forever because in the Bible is that the people, they don't need to wear clothes. They're naked and they got surrounded by the light. They're in the light of all. So I mean, they will live forever, but just because people, we just try maybe out of curiosity. So is it world by the snake? So we just stayed in, right? So just eat food and there's another tree instead of the tree with the fruit wisdom. There's another tree that is the longevity, but the people just choose to pick the fruit on the wisdom. ### 4:07:02 seg-0475 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0475` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0475](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0475) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14822s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14822s) Okay.

Yes. Well, I have a related question. So, why haven't anybody else traveled to paradise and write a book just like Dante? Why there's a billions of people that only Dante have went to paradise and wrote a book? What's the answer? ### 4:07:36 seg-0478 - Speaker: SPEAKER_12 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0478` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0478](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0478) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14856s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14856s) Well, I don't know if I can answer the question, but I do, you know, just like maybe I was in my dream that I can see something. I mean, my dream, that I was in hell and in the hell and people just feel suffer. But there's another place that I also can saw in my dream is that people saying everything is for free. Everything is for free. So it's really chaotic. Yeah, maybe, maybe there's so many universe. Some of the universe, just, you know, people just like based some of the universe. ### 4:08:06 seg-0479 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0479` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0479](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0479) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14886s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14886s) Why was there a Jesus? Why couldn't, why couldn't there be a second Jesus? There was only one Jesus. Why was there just one Jesus? Someone else can't come and be another Jesus. Why not? ### 4:08:17 seg-0480 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0480` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0480](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0480) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14897s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14897s) Because Jesus is a facet of God. And if we, if another Jesus comes in and also says, oh, we're going to redeem you of all your sins, then that's basically saying the first Jesus didn't do his job. So the first Jesus will be imperfect. And that wouldn't be very nice. I wouldn't. ### 4:08:32 seg-0481 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0481` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0481](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0481) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14912s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14912s) Okay. Okay. So I think Dante was a messenger from God. Okay. So you asked a question earlier today. How did Dante? How is Dante? How is Dante able to do what he did? Okay. So here's some facts about Dante. The man died without a country. He was in exile. He was living off the generosity of his patrons. And after he finished the line comedy in 1321, he died a few months later. Okay. He didn't experience any fame. He was never paid for the line comedy. And as you can see, it is really hard. Okay. It's hard for us to read it, but imagine how hard it is to write it. But he was doing it without a particular reward. What was his reward for doing this? He was not famous in his time. He became famous later. In fact, while he was alive, he was despised by his own people, the Florentines. In fact, the Catholic church was so angry at him. ### 4:09:41 seg-0482 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0482` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0482](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0482) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14981s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=14981s) They actually wanted like to take up his body and burn him at the stake. Okay. So what motivated the man? How is able to focus 20 years of his life on running something that may or may not have been burned by the Catholic church that may or may not be read by people. Okay. And the only answer that I think makes sense is the moment he was born. He knew what his mission was. And throughout his entire life, the Divine Comedy, in its complete form, appeared to him in certain fragments. And in his head, he kept on imagining these different parts. And then when he finally conceptualized the entirety of the Divine Comedy, he then wrote it down. Okay. And why I say this is, is, okay, I have problems understanding what motivated the man for 20 years to write the Divine Comedy, but also like, think about the impact of the Divine Comedy in our world. ### 4:11:06 seg-0483 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0483` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0483](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0483) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15066s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15066s) Not only is the Divine Comedy the source for the Renaissance, it's also the source for the Protestant Reformation, the Second Revolution, the Enlightenment, modernity itself. It changed the entire world by itself. And you're telling me this is all an accident. And you're telling me, oh, well, you know, he just got lucky. 20 years, every day, working his ass off to put this together, not knowing if it'll be read one day. And 100 years after it is published, it forever changed the world. It is recognized today as the most important literary achievement in human history. Today, we read it and we can see its power, even though we are no longer part of his world, right? Even if you don't know any history, you can still read the Divine Comedy and feel its beauty, feel its power. How is this possible? Unless this is all designed by ### 4:12:12 seg-0484 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0484` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0484](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0484) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15132s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15132s) God, unless Dante was a messenger of God himself, and he knew from an early age, this is his mission. He structured his entire life for this mission. I don't know. Yes. ### 4:12:27 seg-0485 - Speaker: SPEAKER_06 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0485` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0485](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0485) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15147s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15147s) Again, I think that's a very very absolute perspective. And I think it actually diminishes the value of Dante and of the Divine Comedy as a humanist. So the Renaissance is characterized by its humanism. While it is not separate from the Catholic Church, while it's still heavily influenced by religion, I think it's important to know that Dante was a great person and that he did not need a God to make his writing even greater. Similarly, we do not need a God to understand, to understand what Dante wrote, to appreciate it for its greatness. I think as humans, our value is enough. ### 4:13:00 seg-0486 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0486` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0486](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0486) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15180s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15180s) Okay. I don't disagree with what you say. Okay. But like, like I want to emphasize certain points about this class. Okay. First of all, this is not an academic seminar. This is about intellectual speculation. It's about going on a journey like Dante went on his journey to figure out the structure, the secrets of the universe itself. That's point one. Point two is on this journey, it has to be a leap of faith. Okay. You have to believe that this is divine. You have to believe this perfection. You have to believe that when you enter the divine comedy, you're entering into the soul of the universe itself. And my argument to you is that if you take this leap of faith, if you open your heart, if you open your mind and you fully embrace divine comedy, you'll be transformed by it. Okay. And you know what? If it is not true, there's actually no harm to you. ### 4:13:57 seg-0487 - Speaker: SPEAKER_15 - Source ref: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0487` - Transcript segment: [https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0487](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8/transcript/#seg-0487) - Video timestamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15237s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscXuHPRWQ8&t=15237s) Okay. But if I'm correct, this could be the most life transforming experience in your life. So why not just take the risk? Put away your delusions or your beliefs about our world and fully embrace divinity. Okay. And I'm saying only by doing that, you truly appreciate the divine comedy. Is that clear to you guys? Okay. Okay. That's it for today. We'll continue tomorrow. Okay.
