=== Serotonin, Love, and the Son of God (06:07) ===

[00:00:00]  But the serotonin system governs both love and psychedelic experience and status at the same time.
[00:00:11]  And I can tell from personal experience too if you really hit the system hard, you might experience yourself as the Son of God and be perfectly loving, be perfectly powerful at the same time.
[00:00:23]  So there's this hardwired system that's innate that makes us love heroes, it makes us love.
[00:00:35]  You sociality, you sociality, the hero we are attracted to and want to raise up whoever is truly of service to the good.
[00:00:47]  So, servant leadership is Darwinianly built in that we don't want to watch any kind of story where there's not a really, really good guy who's fighting hard battles.
[00:01:04]  For everybody, who else should we want to shower status upon than this kind of social individual?
[00:01:12]  And also, maybe this trigger, which we want to see play out in movies all the time, is the innate virality of the gospel message.
[00:01:26]  It triumphed because it's just, it just hits us so hard.
[00:01:32]  This drama, where it looks like he's lost it all at the end, but lo and behold, Deus Ex Mach.
[00:01:39]  Now he's alive again.
[00:01:40]  Wow, that really took our system, limbic system, for a wild ride.
[00:01:46]  Maybe I can go be that hero as well.
[00:01:49]  No, I think servant leadership.
[00:01:52]  But aren't these Christians in opposition to Aryan leadership?
[00:01:57]  And I don't doubt that, because what we're dealing with here are sort of two separate things.
[00:02:04]  And there is the European tradition of Christianity that has been around, well, We could date it in some way, but it may be 1500 at the most, 1000 in many cases.
[00:02:19]  It's been around a long time.
[00:02:21]  The European history of Christianity, where we have added these components to things, and we might very well have imagined Jesus as heroic and so on.
[00:02:33]  And then the actual Bible itself.
[00:02:37]  Where it's very clear that Jesus is not just hostile towards the Pharisees, but he represents something fundamentally different than the Roman.
[00:02:49]  That Jacob and Esau, even though they're twin brothers, they seem to be brothers of another mother.
[00:02:57]  They're not the same type of figure.
[00:02:59]  There is the outdoorsman, powerful Esau, and the trickster Jacob.
[00:03:05]  It's Jacob.
[00:03:06]  And these might have racial archetypal.
[00:03:09]  Components to them in the sense, and that's actually explicitly declared in the Bible that Esau is Edom, Edom is Rome.
[00:03:17]  That, yeah, there are people who say that to this day that Edom needs to be destroyed and everything.
[00:03:23]  But yeah, I know, but that's in your holy book.
[00:03:26]  What I'm saying is that the hero, these righteous heroes, even if they're very compelling in many ways, I'll grant you that.
[00:03:33]  I, you know, I think Mercury is compelling, certainly, uh, Jacob is a compelling, Joseph is a fascinating.
[00:03:40]  Figure.
[00:03:40]  They're very compelling, Moses, et cetera.
[00:03:43]  But they're in opposition in so many cases to Aryan.
[00:03:46]  They're, you know, Moses is in opposition to what, in effect, is a Caucasian or Aryan pharaoh.
[00:03:55]  And so you're rooting for the other team.
[00:03:59]  Now, on some level, there's this history of European Christianity where we've sort of reinterpreted these things and assimilated them and mixed them up a little bit.
[00:04:13]  But On some level, like particularly when we live at this kind of end of history type situation, we're almost coming back to origins.
[00:04:23]  We're almost better understanding what these things are really about at the end of the day.
[00:04:29]  We have the ability to use the internet to engage in research, the ability to communicate.
[00:04:34]  We can actually know something in a way that our ancestors didn't know something 500 or 1,000 years ago.
[00:04:43]  And this is what it's really about.
[00:04:46]  Esau is Aryan, Jacob is Jewish.
[00:04:50]  It is a story about overthrowing, stealing the birthright of Aryan, of Edom, of Rome, which Christianity accomplished.
[00:05:00]  This is what these stories are really about.
[00:05:03]  Now, it doesn't mean that I don't value them on some level or find them fascinating and so on.
[00:05:09]  And I understand the way in which Europeans have assimilated Christianity into our way of thinking for so long.
[00:05:18]  But We know more now than we did 500, 1,000 years ago.
[00:05:24]  We can uncover the true essence of this.
[00:05:28]  And when I, the true Jewish essence of the Bible and Christianity, and really look at it straight on, and we can start to determine other things for ourselves.
[00:05:43]  Is this what is the best for us?
[00:05:45]  Is that God, is Jesus the only God of truth and light out there?
[00:05:50]  The answer is absolutely not.
[00:05:53]  Apollo is also a god of truth and light.
[00:05:58]  He's a polymath.
[00:05:59]  He's a warrior.
[00:06:00]  He is a musician.
[00:06:02]  He is a healer.
[00:06:05]  Archer.
[00:06:05]  He is certainly an archer.
