    some of the most sing points that we

    Coos myself and several other Scholars
  • 00:03:16

    process so again as we talking about
  • 00:03:22
    India you know just to kind of go over
  • 00:03:25
    and rehash this whole process we talking
  • 00:03:27
    about the ancient harapan Society we're
  • 00:03:32
    talking about the Indus Valley
  • 00:03:35
    Civilization those are terminologies

    the harapan civilization the Aryan
  • 00:03:47
    Society the Gand River all those are
  • 00:03:51
    points that are closely related and are
  • 00:03:54
    very
  • 00:03:56
    relevant we talked about the Aryans
  • 00:04:00
    we know that Aryan is a Sanskrit word
  • 00:04:02
    that means pure you should be aware of
  • 00:04:05
    that from the other video that you have
  • 00:04:08
    that Sanskrit mean pure we talked
  • 00:04:10
    briefly about symbolism and I want you
  • 00:04:13
    to kind of be aware of what we're doing
  • 00:04:15
    when we look at symbolism as a whole
  • 00:04:18
    from a historical
  • 00:04:19
    perspective
  • 00:04:21
    symbolism
  • 00:04:23
    allegories are hidden meanings that are
  • 00:04:26
    a more poignant Point than the literal
  • 00:04:30
    words if I was to say how did the
  • 00:04:33
    chicken cross the
  • 00:04:35
    road some people might look at that in
  • 00:04:38
    as a literal sense but I may have a
  • 00:04:41
    deeper meaning and underlying meaning a
  • 00:04:44
    symbolic meaning of what I'm saying
  • 00:04:47
    another casing point of a of a of a
  • 00:04:49
    symbolic meaning a symb a SYM
  • 00:04:55
    other hold on class hold on class
  • 00:05:00
    yes ma'am I'm in the office I'm in the
  • 00:05:03
    office and I'm doing the video can you
  • 00:05:05
    stop by I'm right in the middle of this
  • 00:05:07
    video can you come to my
  • 00:05:12
    office okay
  • 00:05:27
    okay okay CL me for that that brief
  • 00:05:30
    Interruption but we want to continue
  • 00:05:32
    moving forward with some of
  • 00:05:36
    the uh relevant areas as it relates to
  • 00:05:40
    ancient Hindustan which is the original
  • 00:05:43
    name of India Hindustan they speak the
  • 00:05:46
    language of Hindi and they call
  • 00:05:49
    themselves Hindu so you know that we
  • 00:05:52
    approach every society from the vein of
  • 00:05:55
    the nine areas of human interaction
  • 00:06:00
    and these nine areas are education
  • 00:06:02
    entertainment economics labor law sex
  • 00:06:05
    politics religion and War and every
  • 00:06:09
    society has this interaction
  • 00:06:13
    amongst its participants
  • 00:06:16
    that
  • 00:06:19
    uh deal with the nine areas so we talked
  • 00:06:23
    about Buddhism we talked about Shintoism
  • 00:06:26
    I mean not Shintoism we talked about
  • 00:06:29
    Janis M we talked about brahmanism we
  • 00:06:33
    talked about Buddhism so that's going to
  • 00:06:36
    be the essence of the test uh I want to
  • 00:06:40
    also mention to you
  • 00:06:44
    briefly just a little briefly just
  • 00:06:51
    briefly
  • 00:06:53
    about some of
  • 00:06:55
    the
  • 00:06:57
    participants we also talked about the
  • 00:06:59
    swap
  • 00:07:00
    don't forget that the
  • 00:07:02
    schwas is not just an emblem of Jewish
  • 00:07:05
    superiority but it is a symbol that has
  • 00:07:08
    African origin it is the Forerunner or
  • 00:07:10
    the precursor to the cross the swaser
  • 00:07:14
    depending on the direction that you have
  • 00:07:16
    it means different things but the
  • 00:07:18
    general meaning of it is well-being it
  • 00:07:21
    means peace to be well so go figure that
  • 00:07:25
    Hitler would utilize a SW sticker for
  • 00:07:28
    his regime
  • 00:07:33
    uh I mentioned to you about the
  • 00:07:37
    different sect if you will of Buddhism
  • 00:07:41
    and I'm not going to go down a long
  • 00:07:42
    trail with that but the one that I want
  • 00:07:45
    you to be cognizant of the most is
  • 00:07:48
    Mahayana my hayana Mahayana is a word
  • 00:07:52
    that means great
  • 00:07:54
    vehicle and this is what the early
  • 00:07:58
    participants of Buddhism
  • 00:08:00
    as they kind of it's just human nature
  • 00:08:02
    that people will kind of divide
  • 00:08:03
    themselves based on like thoughts we
  • 00:08:06
    talked about cognitive dissonance we
  • 00:08:08
    know what that means that uncomfortable
  • 00:08:10
    feeling when someone is expounding
  • 00:08:13
    something that that doesn't line up what
  • 00:08:15
    you believe you innately get a feeling
  • 00:08:18
    of okay well that's no and that your
  • 00:08:21
    mind will kind of block the truth off
  • 00:08:24
    when it's something that's not
  • 00:08:25
    resonating with what's already in your
  • 00:08:27
    brain computer so Mahayana the great
  • 00:08:32
    vehicle that's important this is a date
  • 00:08:36
    that I want you I want you all to know
  • 00:08:38
    and I'm going to highlight it real quick
  • 00:08:41
    while I'm talking to
  • 00:08:42
    you Buddhism remained an important
  • 00:08:45
    religion in India to around 1200
  • 00:08:49
    BCE by that time Buddhism had spread and
  • 00:08:53
    began to decline in India and it became
  • 00:08:56
    more widely accepted by Asian
  • 00:09:01
    Buddhism did not accept the cast system
  • 00:09:05
    that's important and this is why more
  • 00:09:08
    people gravitated toward being adherence
  • 00:09:12
    of
  • 00:09:13
    this now here's the thing Buddhism but
  • 00:09:18
    not Buddhism
  • 00:09:20
    romanism Hinduism all have a scriptor
  • 00:09:24
    basis that justifies classism colorism
  • 00:09:30
    or suppression of individuals to be
  • 00:09:33
    exploited there's a religious text dead
  • 00:09:38
    usita that talks about how the human
  • 00:09:42
    being the anatomical example and the
  • 00:09:44
    Brahman class being the head the mouth
  • 00:09:46
    or the brains and The Untouchables being
  • 00:09:49
    the feet the barrels of
  • 00:09:52
    Burden Buddhism did not accept that and
  • 00:09:56
    yet you are taught to not complain about
  • 00:09:59
    your station in life as you are a
  • 00:10:02
    participant in this class system because
  • 00:10:04
    your reward will come in the next life
  • 00:10:08
    very eerily similar to the doctrines of
  • 00:10:15
    trinitarianism
  • 00:10:17
    romanism
  • 00:10:18
    Catholicism Christianity all those are
  • 00:10:21
    words that are the same individuals may
  • 00:10:25
    be Christian
  • 00:10:27
    apologetics they may cre create great ex
  • 00:10:30
    jesuses that reference their position
  • 00:10:34
    however these two thoughts are very
  • 00:10:36
    similar because if you are involved in a
  • 00:10:38
    care system which is a social construct
  • 00:10:41
    that has you at the
  • 00:10:42
    bottom and you're not to complain about
  • 00:10:46
    your your your lot in life that you will
  • 00:10:48
    be rewarded in the Hereafter likewise in
  • 00:10:52
    the trinitarian doctrine where your
  • 00:10:54
    reward comes after death in this in this
  • 00:10:59
    Eastern thought if one can reach nirvana
  • 00:11:03
    become enlightened enlightened means hey
  • 00:11:06
    I get it I understand I comprehend I've
  • 00:11:10
    discovered the meaning I know what it is
  • 00:11:13
    I am
  • 00:11:14
    enlightened that's what that mean in
  • 00:11:17
    these Eastern thoughts as opposed to
  • 00:11:20
    Western thought your reward comes after
  • 00:11:23
    death no one can come back and say hey
  • 00:11:26
    is everything they said it was no one
  • 00:11:28
    can say say man there nothing
  • 00:11:31
    there it's the biggest risk
  • 00:11:34
    ever okay it's the biggest risk ever
  • 00:11:40
    it's the ongoing question that may never
  • 00:11:44
    be
  • 00:11:45
    answered I'm sure the adherence of
  • 00:11:49
    Jesus were expecting him to immediately
  • 00:11:53
    return after his plot on Earth and his
  • 00:11:56
    completion of his mission if you will
  • 00:12:00
    he ascended into heaven and told his
  • 00:12:02
    disciples go out and be Fishers of Men
  • 00:12:06
    and ye take the gospel across the
  • 00:12:08
    world I'm assuming that they thought
  • 00:12:11
    very
  • 00:12:12
    well 20 50 years later that his return
  • 00:12:16
    will be
  • 00:12:18
    rapid a thousand years later he still
  • 00:12:20
    hadn't returned
  • 00:12:22
    2,000 3,000
  • 00:12:25
    4,000 5,000 years and there had still
  • 00:12:29
    been no
  • 00:12:33
    return when you look at these Easter
  • 00:12:37
    eyes thoughts your
  • 00:12:40
    karma which is cause and effect puts
  • 00:12:43
    responsibility on the individual to
  • 00:12:47
    break the cycle of the will of life so
  • 00:12:50
    guys look continue to look at this
  • 00:12:52

    interactions with with the inhabitants
  • 00:13:31
    of India and their encounters with the
  • 00:13:33
    white man and their encounters with the

    European or the angalo section their
  • 00:13:37

    way you can't control people places and
  • 00:15:22
    things the only thing you can control is
  • 00:15:24

  • 00:15:28
    you can control how you
  • 00:15:31
    respond and often times it's really not
  • 00:15:34
    things that bother us but it is our
  • 00:15:37
    perception of those
  • 00:15:40
    things the thing itself may be inanimate
  • 00:15:43
