March 23, 2025 "Cutting Through the Matrix" with Alan Watt --- Redux (Educational Talk From the Past): "Be Still and Know..."
01:23:34 Share

This is Melissa, and today is March 23, 2025, and I hope that you're all doing well. I just wanted to update you on a few things before I turn you over to this Redux. And primarily, I wanted to talk about website things and kind of let you know a few things.

pieces of news here or things that you can do. Some of you noticed that the comm site wasn't updated for a couple of weeks and that's true. And I'll just remind you right off the top as Alan often did to please go into the website and take a note of all the official sites that are there. The video channels as well as cuttingthroughthematrix.net

and .us and then of course .com and there's alanwattcuttingthroughthematrix.ca and there is also the site, I did a real history with Rodney and he has mirrored the sites for going on two decades now at cuttingthru.jenkness.com that's J-E-N-K-N-E-S-S so I had to do some things on the server side

Sometimes you start off with a hosting company and it's unlimited disk space and then things change and your plan has to change. This is why Alan liked to have so many sites and he liked them spread across many different hosting companies and that's still how I do it. So I have managed to make a few sites.

little changes that I think strengthen the comm site and at least for a short-term period of maybe the next 10 or 12 months I'm going to be Not having some of the videos that it will be available on the other sites They will not be available on the comm site just into you know for the interim because

I wanted to have a few things on the websites like all of the book club videos. We put so much work into Carol Quigley's Tragedy and Hope, including the videos, that I wanted to offer those videos on the website in addition to the video channels. So just a few changes here or there, but some good news is some of you have also noticed that

alanwatsentientcentinal.eu has been down for a long time now and you know rules and regulations legal things hoops and problems that sometimes can't be solved because well a rule changed and you're not in compliance etc etc but what i am now offering you is alanwatsentientcentinal.eu

dot com. And you'll find the link on all the main web pages there. So it looks the same. It's got that plaid background. It is the same. I've just, I've been keeping it updated. But you know, like I say, rules, regulations, and compliance. So here you go. And for those of you who have never visited that site, there are a lot of foreign language translations of the transcripts. And

Otherwise, more or less, you're getting the same thing that you would on cuttingthroughthematrix.com or .us or .net, but that's a nice thing to be able to bring you, and I'm glad that it's back up and running. So I have been busy, and not just helping Betty with her big project, but also trying to do some things to improve the

ease and function of the websites. A minor little thing, listener suggested, it's one of those, oh shoot, I should have thought of that, but somebody wrote and said, you need a button for the flash drives. So as you're scrolling down, and I probably won't have time to make little screenshot videos of everything I'm talking about right now, because I just don't have that kind of time, but when you're at the top of the web page,

And you see that pink, you know, karate kick. And then Alan Watt says, let's start taking off the shackles. And there's the notice with the date and how to order the books, etc. And you scroll down and you see all the official sites. It says, welcome to the official websites and channels of Alan Watt. And then there's Buddy Can You Spare a Dime? Picture of Alan playing the guitar.

And below that are buttons that you can click on and go to the audio archives or the free transcripts or the book purchase or the not sure pieces or the article archives, etc. And there's a new hot pink button there and it says new flash drives. And if you click on that, you'll find that. And of course, the book button has always been there.

And that's the last thing I wanted to mention is in this time that I've had to be productive, but also to be in a different rhythm than I normally am, I've had a lot of time to think about

just everything. And that's been really helpful to me. And of course, one of the things that I'm thinking of is how to make things easier for you and better. And what can I bring you next? And what should it look like? Et cetera. And really, the next thing, as I've said quite often lately, is Book Club Waiting for the Miracle, which launches next month, early in April. And

Early in April, Prince and I will record the first segment of this, the introduction, and we'll talk a little bit about the first two interviews. We'll just kick it off, get it going. Of course, you can join the Telegram Book Club channel. I'll post a link for that.

But you don't have to do that. You can just listen to what gets posted everywhere and participate and read along that way. And some of you have ordered the book, and that's great. And I want to let you know that it is now available in German. Graham and Gabriela in Germany did that translation. I'm very appreciative of. And it's been available for many years in Spanish and Portuguese and, of course, in English. So...

If you are just listeners and you don't read, you can follow along with the Ancient History and Ancient Religions CDs. There are two of them. And those are the companions to Waiting for the Miracle. Sound quality is not the greatest on those, and some of you might want to do both. So to me, Alan's work is the most important. It is singular. It is...

eye-opening and thought-provoking and I think life-changing and so I've really been giving a lot of thought as to how I can make the necessary time that I can give this everything I can so that that is I think where a great deal of my attention will go over the next few months and I

I think that's just about it. I've got a real history coming up next week with Nick Hayes of Hayes Reviews, and we will be talking about Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel, We. And this is considered by many, you know, kind of the first modern science fiction novel. So I'm looking forward to that. I hope that you are all well, and I will...

be talking to you soon. Well, let me just mention one thing about the Redux and that is I'm Reduxing a Redux again. This was March 26, 2023 and it is entitled Be Still and Know and

The main talk was Alan from February 10, 2019, and I will link to that talk in full as well as the transcript for it. It was a really good show. Just start to finish good, and I only excerpted a little bit from it. So enjoy this talk that is coming up and

I'll be excited to be back with you soon and really looking forward to getting into Waiting for the Miracle with you. Take care.

This is Melissa and it is the 26th of March 2023. In today's Redux, I will use some excerpts from a talk that Alan did February the 10th, 2019, entitled, Materialism Equals Societal Breakdown, Financial Mess, We All Pay for Our Rulers' Success.

The topical things that Alan discussed in this blurb were some banking crises that were going on at the time. There's always a banking crisis, it seems. That is interesting, and I might touch on a couple of little updates to those stories that he was talking about then. The reason why I chose this for the last of these sort of special March redux was because I was looking for something that

would continue on with some of the ideas that were in my head about the shortness of time and our experience in this life and the experiences that fuel our own connection to spirit. So with these ideas in mind, I chose this talk.

where Alan talks about exactly some of these things, that your life is short, that we all have a natural sixth sense

but that materialism and the worries of the world and also the way that we're educated and indoctrinated and standardized keep us from using those abilities. And of course the education system tells us that this is for our survival, but just the opposite is true. That sixth sense, that knowing

that also helps you connect to other people in ways that are sometimes inexplicable. That's your true survival mechanism. And he keeps...

coming back to that topic throughout the whole hour and seven minutes and I won't play it in its full length today but I would encourage you all to listen to the whole thing. It's an excellent talk and there are a lot of really interesting links that he put up with it. He talks about how being human, connecting to your humanity is actually something that you

that you have to learn how to do, that you have to work at, that being human, that humanity takes work. He said it takes work to be a good human. And I think that's true. I think that we are given such a materialistic and

or in a way, a psychopathic way of viewing each other, as Alan says in this talk, winners and losers, winners and losers. We get it in the game shows. We get it all around us that some people win and the rest of us lose. And it's getting past that, but you don't get past that really until you understand your own complicity in that.

And so it is an interesting talk. It resonated with me because that shortness of life, that idea that there's something that we're all supposed to be doing in this life, but for most of us, we don't get there again because we're programmed.

And I also went back, I won't play any excerpts from this blurb, but I went back to really my favorite blurb from February the 28th, 2007, Sing Your Song and Steal Some Time. And he really gets into this concept of

of how our song, our life, is stolen from us. And he talks about the little sayings, the folk sayings, the Indian sayings. He said that some American Indians said that a life is your individual song. Each person has their song. That's your life. And that's your way of communicating with whatever is out there beyond you, beyond what you can sense with those five senses.

So getting into the sixth sense. And he said, you know, yes, a song that can be a song that you write or a song that you sing, but the song is also your life. And one of the words that was popping around in my head this week was creativity and how people think, oh, I'm not, you know, they'll even say I'm not creative. They don't, because they think of creativity as...

painting or drawing or singing or playing music or you know those kinds of things but actually the way once you embark on the process of waking up when you accept and it's really a big thing to accept because waking up isn't saying

oh, they're forcing me to take a vaccine that I don't want, and there's this World Economic Forum, and they're resetting us, and oh, look what the bankers are doing, and it's affecting me in that way. That is reacting, as Alan would always say, that's not waking up. That process of really coming into your own life, you embark on that when you can accept that big, huge problem

piece of information, which is we live in a reality that is a false construct. The world that we live in is completely manufactured, or as Alan would say, our world could have gone in any one of a thousand directions. It goes in the direction that it does because it's planned that way. It's orchestrated that way.

But when, you know, the miracle of waking up is that you get to look at yourself and you get to peel away the layers of your programming and find who you really are. And then all of the choices that follow from there, you are living your song. And living your song is creative. You're actually creating your life now.

according to the things that you have come to value on this journey. And that being said, you're still going to have some evil controllers out there, so I'm not talking about, oh, freedom, that we are free from all of this and we can go our own way. No, because there's always people who are spying on you and want to know what you're doing and controlling you every which way that you turn. But the essence of you is,

that core of you that is true, that's what you've tapped into. And that is a connection to spirit. And I said last week that Alan didn't really talk about spirituality, that he'd say these people want to know your experiences, but you cannot share them. You can't give another person your experience. But I mulled that over this week, and I was thinking, yes, that is true.

If you told someone, this happened to me and that really changed the way I saw the world, well, that might be inexplicable to someone else. They might not understand that. But indeed, Alan's experiences changed him profoundly, and therefore they changed the way that he lived his life and all of the things that he did. And I could say...

That his experiences were the reason why he wrote and why he talked about what he did. So yes, one can share one's experience, and I know that's true for me. The things that I experienced that led me to start off on a journey, they changed me. And I could even say they give me...

some slight support that helps me fight against this hesitancy. I don't want to sit in front of the mic and open up my mouth. I have nothing to say, but that's not true. I have my experiences, and that's what informs me. I can't tell you this happened to me, and that's why I am the way that I am, because you wouldn't get it.

But those changes that the experiences brought in me allow me to live my song. And it would appear right now that my song has been for many years and continues to be making sure that Alan's song is always available for you. So I wanted to...

close out the last of these special talks by having a few more people contribute some audio. And a couple of people decided, you know, at the last minute that they didn't want to share that. I really understand why, because again, you know, sitting down and recording your voice is intimidating. But there were people who shared in other ways, and I wanted to

read an email that came in. This is Theresa in Ireland and she said, "Melissa, I just wanted to say how much Alan's talks meant to me and also to say thank you so much for continuing Alan's work. The website was always my go-to every Monday morning and I learned so much from Alan. His knowledge of history and what was happening in the world in the present day was such an education for me.

Once I started delving into the archive material on Alan's website, I was so impressed by all his talks going right back to 2006. I started to listen each year, and everything Alan predicted was coming to pass in the present day. I'm often on the road for five hours at a time, and it was a perfect way to listen to a few of Alan's podcasts. I have learned so much from them.

I also bought the books that Alan often referred to. I would listen to the same podcast over again, as they were full of so much information it was hard to take it all in. Like Alan, I was brought up in Scotland before I moved to my beloved Ireland, and Alan taught me a history of Scotland and Ireland that I had never heard before.

For example, Alan explained about the Highland clearances in Scotland and also that the famine in Ireland was a lie. It was actually genocide of the Irish people.

Ireland had abundant food, and the food and animals were removed from Irish farms and escorted by armed English soldiers onto ships bound for Liverpool, Glasgow, Southampton, etc., to feed the English and their army. There was enough food to feed all the people of Britain and Ireland, but the English removed it all. It was also playing out what Alan said in a recent Redux podcast.

He said the New World Order need to destroy certain races, including the Scots and the Irish, because they would not go willingly into the New World Order they have planned for us. The Irish historically are well known for fighting injustice.

All of Alan's words are ringing true today. The destruction of the Irish people is in full flow. Uncontrolled illegal immigration into Ireland of undocumented men into Dublin airport continues daily of men from Africa and Eastern Europe.

Court cases of reported rapes and assaults by undocumented immigrants from 5 January 2023 to 19 February 2023 was 32, including six children.

and a number of them had already committed crimes in their own country. I just want to let you know how much Alan meant to me, and how much he taught me, and helped in my education of worldly events. Alan explained things so well, and you actually felt that you knew him, and he knew you. I was blessed to have found his website, Teresa. And...

There is a listener from, again, creativity and mind and just thinking about...

All of you listeners out there, and again, I think that knitting a pair of socks, and Alan had an amazing listener in Canada who knitted him some beautiful socks and other things over the years, and she actually knitted me a pair that I love. They're my bedtime socks. That is creative.

Gardening and canning is creative. Learning things, learning how to raise chickens. Just the way that you can interact with a stranger at the grocery store can be creative because you can see them as an individual and have a spontaneous interaction or you can just walk about like a robot.

So it's how we, it isn't just painting and singing and writing poetry. It's how you live your life once you determine to wake up and deprogram. And so here is the first section of that talk from February the 10th, 2019.

Hi folks, I'm Alan Watt and this is Cutting Through the Matrix on the 10th of February 2019. I should really start off by reminding myself, as well as you, that I should really be mentioning the books and discs at cuttingthroughthematrix.com website. And you can buy them and find out how to do it at cuttingthroughthematrix.com. Also, take a note of all the other sites I have on that page as well.

in case any of them go down for any particular reason and you'll always be hopefully to access my shows and so on and also you can donate if you'd like to because i've had up so much stuff up for many many years for free it's only occasional person once in a while or the same handful of people in fact who will donate in any kind of semi-regular basis

and that helps me to tick over. But people from all over the planet use the website constantly. A lot of talk show guys do it too for their old shows, etc. And so many people are into all kinds of occult and new age things because they're bored stiff probably, and they want information on these old religions and things like that, and the present ones too. And I used to cover them all in pretty good detail.

And many other things too to do with our existence on the planet because our existence, again, your life is pretty short, you know, it will fly by. And one day you'll sit back and say, why did I waste so much time on this or that or whatever happened to be? Or even just entertainment in itself, because the biggest problem with people today, I'll get worse and worse and worse, by the way.

really the old, the joke and the reality too of the meaning of life and the purpose of life, etc. as you go through rapid changes because we're trained by the masters of the world to behave in certain ways with each generation.

and to believe in certain things, and even to have causes that will always suit those at the top, which generally are the international bankers, and I'll touch on that tonight. However, I do go into the fact, too, that it's much more to humanity than what you're given. I think we've all experienced, and hopefully we've all experienced, I think you're cut off through pure materialism if you don't experience it,

But the occasional sensation of someone going to phone you or something like that used to be more obvious before you had cell phones because people didn't phone you all the time, especially if it was long distance and things like that. But the cell phones now, people actually expect phone calls all the time. But in old days, not so long ago, which are the old days now, you would get senses of people. They're going to visit you just unexpectedly, but you'd get a sense that it was going to happen.

And you would get senses. These are senses, the natural senses that we do have, six senses. And I think really children probably have more awareness of these senses. They don't suppress them because they haven't been told to yet. Once they're in school, they drum all that out of you with so-called practicalities.

for survival. So they claim that it's really just early indoctrination of the system, so you'll obey and work for the system without even knowing it. But it's drummed out of you through materialism and the worries of just surviving and getting through life, etc., etc., etc., and dealing with all the natural drives that you're born with.

that develop even later. There's lots of drives that will distract you and there's massive businesses to help them on because they'll get money off you as they distract you. It is quite surprising that the detail that goes into creating

any particular batch of years and that's how I see them, are batches of years. So as I say, I've gone into all this stuff in detail over many, many, many years and lots of people use them. So remember, you can buy the books and discs at cuttingthroughmiddies.com. I would churn out more books really, but the reality is too, I'd prefer just to tell the people information that might help me on through life or survive through life, at least on a personal basis.

It might not even be successful financially, but at least it's helping. What is success for you? You're told what success is.

And believe you me, you won't find any real genuine people out there that have put you a term, big, big success, who are really happy. And you'll find two with incredible alterations in society and functions, etc. And expectations that will get worse and worse and worse. And that was also known back in the early 20th century by people like Agamemnon.

Aldous Huxley, who also talked at Berkeley in the 60s about it. He said that people really are not terribly happy. Basically, intrinsically, they're not terribly happy. And happiness is a strange term. Because today, under psychiatry, which helps to rule you in psychology, and you have behaviorists all ruling you, they promote the idea that happiness is success.

And happiness is what they tell you success happens to be. And they give you all these idols to follow that really are just fronts.

for big corporations behind them. The making of a star, Hollywood, music, whatever it happens to be, takes a lot of money, or even books, for that matter. It takes a lot of money to promote the person and to create them into the star image. And when you get big television stations immediately grabbing onto somebody, you know it's one of the establishment's creations because they give you people from all walks of life or thoughts of life or segments of thought of life.

to guide people who are looking. In other words, they give you a guru for every particular area that you happen to look at and fight. People also will condemn you for even voicing certain concerns. And it has to be done at times. You've got to be honest about everything as best as you can. And being honest won't mean you'll be condemned. You find even the old religions were suited to the time. They're called old religions.

And even though you have different criticism of all religions in all countries, in all types of religions, you'll find at the same time that some of them, especially those that came into Europe, you find that they give you values or they gave values to the people that stopped total chaos. It was bad not being plundered by nobility.

and feudal systems and so on like that at least they gave a sense of worth to people that didn't exist anywhere else in the world you're either a loser or somebody and if you're a loser you're a slave generally and the property of somebody serfs were obviously property too

And the big condemnation on hindsight, this is the big problem that you have today, everything is judged in hindsight according to today's standards. And you can't project today's standards onto the Middle Ages or yesterday's past. It can't be done. Different times, different era.

didn't have welfare systems, they didn't have social work departments, they didn't have all the different things you're used to today. And people really didn't have the thrive for materialism that you have today, whereas this mass consumerism, it didn't exist before. It was basics, that was it. And it wasn't easy and life was tough. And we only got out of that in some countries in the 20th century because of world wars. Now, it is true.

and different movements took place to allow some of the cash to stay in the pockets of the earners for a change and to get something back for your money. The US was the same too. And I'm talking off the top of my head, this wasn't planned or anything like that, but I was just thinking of the US revolution. Much more too at the Meats Alley too. It took years in preparation. Benjamin Franklin mentioned that too.

with the secret societies that ran at the day, there were intergenerational revolutionaries like Tom Paine, for instance, who in his own writing said that he belonged to a family of intergenerational freedom fighters or revolutionaries. Revolution is the term actually. And so you don't realize that things are not spontaneous in life any more than today. The different values you're given today and the switches are spontaneous. That's so far from any kind of reality.

I've mentioned so many times about some of the books I have, year-old books, because I've studied as much as I could about certain things which interested me as to the whys of things. And one of the whys was what shapes society's values? It's like George Bernard Shaw, for instance, a member of the Fabian Society. He defined, along with H.G. Wells, to the readers of their different publications, what they meant by socialism versus socialist and socialistism.

all these very, they sound subtle differences, they're not subtle at all, they're big differences. Where you said literally socialism was a complete reordering of all society.

complete, that's man, woman, child, everything, nation, purpose, function. And it was intertwined with Marxism, of course. And that's why Marxism was pushed to in London, by the way. Don't forget where Karl Marx was kicked out of Germany. He went to live in London and was kept in a good lifestyle there. He even had servants and so on, for those who think he was a pure little guy. It's far from the truth.

And let's be honest too, since the whole point of Marxism was to overthrow again of all organized governmental systems and monarchies, believing me that the British monarchy was not a system that took this kind of lightly, so they gave permission for me to live there. There's much more to everything than meets the eye, obviously. And communism was basically a big, big test.

The first one is the American Revolution. Could people basically, and this is a bit of a joke of course, run their own lives without having experts and the proper people managing them? That was part of the test, supposedly, the big study, the experiment. And the next experiment was the Soviet system that came along.

where they had, again, the epitome, supposedly, of true socialism, where the Soviet, which is a rule by councils, councils for every type of function in life and departments and unions, were drawn by the Soviet, these councils. And it would be a perfect utopia for everybody, which was a big, big lie, because humanity always...

overtakes any idealism and that means the crooked psychopaths are always at the top. I don't care what system it's called. It's the same system. Beginning back to what I'm saying Beria, who was the chief of police at one point in the 1930s in the Soviet system or the NKVD and the Cheka etc. He ran the common turn for the Soviet system like the young communist international and many leaders that eventually even ruled Canada at one point went over there because they were members of the common turn

And other countries too attended, and bankers too by the way. Bankers were not out of this picture at all. And Beria said that it used to take a whole generation, about 70 years, that's how they took a generation at that time. He said it used to take 70 years to make the small social changes necessary before they could make the next step to push it further on any particular area. But he said now, with the scientific study of humans and society, I'm talking

talking about behaviorism and psychology and psychiatry, they were still fairly new at that time. Then he said, we can, and the proper indoctrination, we can literally, by intense propaganda and indoctrination, alter behavior and opinions in segments every four years. Every four years. And so if you were taking a span of

of say 16 years, you get the first group of children coming in at school at four or five and then four years later you could have an indoctrination which would up the indoctrination of the first four years and a step further. But within 16 years doing this technique you could have them reverse their opinion on the particular topic, could be reversed completely and their belief could be reversed. And that's happened so fast in fact.

with mass communication. They said that mass communication that would be more and more perfected and available to everybody would be the technique which would be used as television, radio, they have cell phones and internet and so on and it's all been done. And it's interesting to stand back and just watch it and to see it happening and to even see the fronts that are there.

that are developed and put out for the public to follow. They pretend to speak for different segments of society and the public. Segments which they've actually created, in fact. As though they were separate species or groups. Which is nonsense. You're either all human or you're not all human.

This is what they've done. And it's easier to control society now and voting blocs by segmenting them all. It's easier for those who rule the planet and the future. And it's very important to understand this idea of the future and the planet itself. And unfortunately, it really does eradicate the natural human abilities, techniques of being human. There are techniques of being human. And it takes work to be a good human being.

And unfortunately, as you throw religion out the window, you've lost or you've thrown out the values that helped your ancestors up to the present day, your predecessors, survive so that you're here.

today because it took a lot of social involvement by neighbors as I say before even in places like Britain to help each other out before the welfare system really came in and you got mass unemployment and so on people had to really help each other and it was only because of the vestiges of religion

that kept that alive. Today, they'll tell their relatives, just go on welfare before they'll help them out. That's what you get, unfortunately. So the state has become supreme, exactly as H.G. Wells said, it would be made to be supreme over any family involvement. It would be the head of the family, in other words, whatever family that happened to be, or kind of family it would be. It's all happened. And it really is fascinating to see it all happening and to live through so much of it

and to see the massive, well-financed pushes, non-organized pushes, not just for segments of society but through entertainment and through everything to make all of this possible, to make it happen the way that it was planned to be. So before, say 20, even 30 years ago, you had ideas of where it was all going, how it worked, etc. And you studied enough to understand where they said it would go and think of what's happened.

But every generation, once you hit 20, you've got folk who think it's somehow all their generation that they're in charge. They really think that. They believe that. They have no idea that the music, the entertainment, even the jingo talk and vernacular that they're given for each age, they really think it's theirs, it's their creation. They really do believe that.

And it's fascinating to watch it over and over and over again. But what I'm trying to say, what am I trying to say? I'm trying to say that basically things are vastly different, vastly, vastly different than you'd imagine. So don't sell yourselves short on creativity and on what it means to be a human, to be a good human and the work that goes into that. There are so many ways that...

we can contribute to each other's lives and we can support each other when we recognize, ah, there's a kindred spirit and we can be helpful. And one of the examples of listener creativity that I wanted to bring to your attention is a listener in Canada who has been very helpful to me since...

the spring of 2021, really. I mean, he would downplay it. I'm sure that he would, but he has been very helpful. And in the summer of 2021, he designed for me, just unasked, but he created a searchable database of all of Alan's work. All of his talks are on that database. And this is nearly 3,000 pages of

but it makes it very helpful when I'm looking for something specific, like today I was looking for the word "creativity."

and I could just go into that 3,000 page database and put in control F and put in the word creativity. And it was interesting to me because Alan only used that word three times in his talks. There were a lot of other ways that he spoke to that concept. But one of the blurbs that he used the word creativity in was sing your song and steal some time. So I was brought back to my favorite blurb yet again.

But this was such a helpful gesture that this man did for me, something that I use quite regularly. I think, oh, I'm looking for something about such and such. And I can. I often just wander around the website looking at this and looking at that, or I remember an old talk that I liked. But to have something like this, that I can do keyword searches and combine keyword searches, I can...

put in the word banker and put in the word evil and see if I get anything back and So it is it's a really good tool, but the other really the other great thing that the same gentleman did is

was again just of his own volition. He decided to clip some of Alan's audios and do a little series of excerpts, just short pieces, if you will, from two or three minutes up to maybe ten. On average, it's probably six or seven minutes. And this morphed into the excerpt series that we've been running since then.

late October of 2021. And the first theme that he came up with was waking up. And so that started the Wednesday excerpt series.

And it's just, I think it's been a really useful thing for people. It's a great way to have a short little midweek thing out there that people remember the website. They can have a few of Alan's words to mull over on a Wednesday. And who doesn't need something on Wednesday to get them through the rest of the week? And from the waking up, we went into his next series that he came up with was Evil.

And Ebel started in April of 2022, and that ran until July of 2022. And he then embarked on a series of clips called New Age. So what I'm explaining to you is listener creativity, because when we started putting up the New Age, a listener from South Africa, who's been in contact with Alan for a number of years, wrote and said,

I think that Not Sure should write something about the New Age because I'm involved in these different groups that are doing activism. We're fighting back against the tyranny around this COVID, this scandemic. And what I see is a lot of New Age thinking creeping into and kind of co-opting these groups.

Well, that was it. That was his suggestion. And I thought, well, Alan certainly talked a lot about the New Age, especially in his early blurbs. What might I say or what might not sure say that would add to that? And that actually turned into, I don't remember now how many I wrote, but it feels like there were

12 of them. I don't know somewhere between 8 and 12 pieces on the new age and it took me so far down a rabbit hole I really didn't think that I would ever get out. I finally had to just make myself stop but this resonated with me because you know years ago I had started a yoga class and it was it was interesting because the very first time that someone invited me to a yoga class

I went and I said to myself, this is a religion. I'm not comfortable with this because there was a little talk of Hinduism and all that. I said, oh no, I don't like this. I'm not going to do that again. What I'm talking to you about is personal corruption because I had the right instinct, which was don't do this.

But personal corruption allowed me, you know, the next time someone invited me to a yoga class was, I don't know, let's just say two or three years later. And I, you know, yes, I had been exposed to it. It was more and more mainstreamed all the time. But it was my willingness to not listen to that voice that said, don't go here. And I did. And, you know, I went to yoga for years. I did that. And, um,

And I kept telling myself, this is just a physical exercise. But it isn't. It is more than that. It is...

philosophy. It's a way of looking at the world and most of the teachers that are even in small towns in the West have imbibed of the philosophy and it comes across and it's mainstream now. So but anyway, it was an interesting exercise for me. Sorry to diverge there into my yoga classes, but from the New Age the Clip Series moved into purpose-made people and

When this listener in Canada suggested the idea of purpose-made people, I loved it. I said, oh, we can stay with that for a long time, and indeed we have, because we're going to be wrapping that up in late April, and we started that in the middle of October of last year.

But purpose-made people, that covers a whole range of things that, you know, the elite, our controllers have made us for their purpose. How do they do that? That covers eugenics. That covers DNA. That covers brain chipping. That covers...

our education. There's so many things that go into designing us to be the way that we are for their purpose. And the next three and the last of this series

are going to be focused on the medical profession and the doctors. And this listener said he just had a little bit of anger on for the doctors. And I think when you look at the complicity, the evil in which they've participated, and that his response to them is understandable. So we will embark on a new series late April. And he and I have already...

gone back and forth on what the theme is going to be. I'm talking about his work, yes, but I'm talking about his creativity. And I think that it's important for us to remember, you know, that thing that Alan would say, you matter. Your choices, what you do with this information and how you use it to help yourself and to help other people, that matters. You matter. So, okay.

This next little thing that I want to play for you is a song that a listener in England wrote and played on his guitar and was inspired by listening to Alan. I want to play a bit of a song that he did entitled Hold the Line. And this was for the truckers in Canada who took a stand and said, enough is enough.

¶¶

This is Rick from Australia, and Rick has listened to

for many years, and listening to Alan has encouraged him to speak out in different forums that he's had an opportunity to participate in, and he's just embarked on yet a new podcast, and I think...

that he and I might speak to one another on his podcast when we can carve out a little bit of time. But he sent an email and he just said, I was thinking of Alan and I think this is a song that he would have liked.

There was a band that was on the go in Australia in the early 70s. I don't know much about them, but they were called Spectrum. I think they were pretty big, at least in Australia, but they probably had some global recognition. He said, I think Alan would have liked this song. And it's called I'll Be Gone. And it kind of touches on the shortness of life, but also...

a kind of an anti-materialism, anti-materialistic thought there. Yes, you could make a lot of money, but by the time that money gets there, you'll be gone. Someday I'll have money Money isn't easy to buy

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

Finally I wanted to say that the excerpts that I chose for today's redux

I wanted to stay focused on our humanity and our sense of community and all of these things that I think are so important at this time. What I did not include and why I encourage you to go back to the talk in full is

was Allen's coverage of the topical news at the time, which included a Goldman Sachs scandal, a banking scandal that was under investigation in Australia, and yet another banking scandal in the UK.

And this is early 2019, and some of these scandals were from 2018 and even prior, the one in Australia, that it had some commission on the go looking into it, you know, how they always investigate things and take years to do so. So he was covering that.

But I had said earlier that Alan's work is timeless, and I find that to be true. I'm always on the Internet. I'd say out and about on the Internet. You know, who's talking about what? Where do I find what's going on, current events, and just...

a little bit of this and a little bit of that. And I played something, I'm not going to name any names there, but it was kind of an alternative show. And this alternative researcher, analyst, was interviewing someone else, and they were talking about essentially what was, you know, two things, banking in Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine, and how this was playing out. And I have to tell you, I...

I just didn't even know what I was listening to. You know, these are alternative voices, and it was so... The language was so highfalutin.

And the attitude around everything that was going on was this sort of intelligentsia or pseudo-intelligentsia. And it made me miss so much the simplicity with which Alan always put things across. He could just hammer home a point in such a low-key, simple way. This is what is happening. This is who's behind it. This is the ancient history of it.

He was never trying to impress you with big words. He was never trying to blow you away with his scholarship. Never.

But anyway, in the court, I had this image of myself because I had this one video that I was listening to pulled up on the computer. And then I had about 10 other things on the go. And I was back and forth as I would just couldn't stomach that interview. I'd go over to another interview. And I had this image of myself as a crazy DJ, you know, spinning one audio and then spinning another over here.

As I was listening to Alan's talk, and as he was reading about Goldman Sachs, and I have to tell you, he made some very funny comments there, so it's worth a listen. I was looking up the Goldman Sachs players, and there's Lloyd Blankfein.

I'm like, no, no, no. Who's David Solomon? Because it was David Solomon that was featured in this scandal that Alan was reading about, or he was being quoted about the scandal. And I look up David Solomon and I find out

He's an investment banker by day, but at night he's an amateur DJ. And he's often seen in the clubs in New York and Miami, etc., etc. And I just can't tell you how disgusted I was with that. This... But it got worse. There was a story, as I was looking into David Solomon, that happened...

What year did that happen? Let's see if I can pull this up. I'm not sure what year that it happened, but when this was being reported on was in December of 2018. Nicholas DeMeyer, the murky story of a man who looted $1.2 million worth of wine from a banker's cellar.

In January, Nicholas De Meyer was arrested for stealing millions of dollars worth of wine from the home of the Goldman Sachs executive he was working for. Nine months later, he jumped to his death. And then they tell you this story. And I'm going to post the article up there so that you can read it for yourself. But in this talk for the Redex from February 10, 2019,

Alan drove home some really great points. And one of the things that he talked about was our own complicity in this evil, in this corrupt system. So what we're living through right now, I mean, I look at the day's news and the latest bank that is teetering on the edge is Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bank, and

Credit Suisse got its helping hand a couple of weeks ago. So it's all around. So you just sniff the wind and go, okay, what's going down and when is it going down? But the banker scandals go on and on and on. And we are living through the system that because it impacts us so directly, the fallout impacts us so directly. We pay attention to these stories because

with bated breath, so to speak. It's new. It's new. This is happening right now. But the beauty of Alan's timeless work is that it is also old, old. It's always been happening. And if you can keep that bird's eye perspective that, you know, I've decided today that I don't want to call them bankers anymore. I loved the way that Alan would always just say what was what.

These are criminals, they're crooks, they're gangsters. And that is who runs us. Criminals, crooks, and gangsters. And so, okay, so what? What they technically did, you know, I was looking into some of the scandals that Goldman Sachs has been involved in over the years, and okay, so...

well, technically they didn't do anything illegal. Oh, there's regulators over them and everything they did was within the guidelines of the regulators. But you're looking at gangsters and criminals. And Alan points out, he really nails it when he said, when you worship them, when you love them, when you say, well, if I could get away with that, I would do that.

You're part of the problem. You're being part of the problem. And what you see when you look at the story of the fellow who stole it, let's just think about that for a moment. He had been stealing this wine from David Solomon for a period of five years. Solomon never noticed the wine had gone missing.

If you take, because I took the calculator out, it was 500 bottles over five years, 1.2 million. That's an average price tag on a bottle of $2,400. But it was more than that because it was only when seven particular bottles that were so pricey were purchased by some broker that

that the broker thought these are either, you know, forged wines. In other words, it's just any old wine in a bottle with this label on it, or else they're stolen wines. And he looked at the serial number on the wines investigated, and lo and behold, they were stolen. So it was really seven. I have no idea what those seven bottles of wine were. And then when you read the articles, you read about the, you know, the

$15 million apartment that Solomon had in Manhattan and the comings and goings of people who live these lifestyles. And Alan is saying, you know, you

If you are someone who said, well, I would do that if I could get away with it, or, well, why not? Why not do that if you can get away with it? Then you are complicit. You are complicit in this. And even this demire, I mean, at first I was horrified at the idea, you know, oh, this poor guy leaps to his death over this, you know, stealing of the wines. Was it really such a crime that he would have to die over it?

But then you're getting into the mindset of a young fellow who aspired. He aspired for that disgusting life that is predation. They are the predators. We are the prey. And he lived his life wanting to be one of those people.

wanting to live that. And this article, it uses some big words, some, you know, $5 words here. But his friends commented, they said his death seems so senseless. He would have done a year or two and people would have embraced him because the whole city, that's New York City, the whole city operates on avaricious, class aspirational, indentured servitude. And just think about those big words there.

That's greedy, that is, slaves who are greedy wannabes. And let's face it, this is a slave system, and we are slaves. And if you are a greedy wannabe in this slave system, you are participating wholeheartedly in this system. So we always have to look at ourselves and how we are participating in this system.

And then, but I kept looking, I couldn't stop looking at old David Solomon. And there I found him on YouTube spinning his records. This was CNN business was covering it naturally. Said Goldman Sachs next CEO is a part-time DJ. So this was posted five years ago. This was before he was actually the DJ. And I started to look at the comments and this was most telling.

That's the coolest CEO ever. Someone else says, legend. Someone else said, he's a DJ. His hobby is running Goldman Sachs. Another commenter, I aspire to be this man. Someone else, now that's the life I want. Another commenter, why is everyone hating on him for this? Have you seen other Wall Street hobbies?

You finally get a couple of people who comment on, you know, how disgusting this is. Literally paying shows to let him perform. America could not be a worse country. Someone else commented, CEO, drug dealer, market manipulator. This guy does it all.

But most of the comments by and large were that's so cool coolest DJ I've ever seen then Go DJ. That's my DJ D soul. It says he goes by DJ D - Saul Sol you know so other people want to send their songs for him to do you know what no tattoos and

Finally, I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Someone says dystopic and disgusting. Well, you know, there are some people who aren't going to be complicit in this system no matter what. So listen to the whole talk and thank you for letting me ramble on. And here is a bit more of Alan. You take care. Keep on this journey.

Because discovering who you are and your song and living your life creatively, finding out what it takes to be a good human, doing that. Alan has said not a lot about this over the years, but in one talk that I put up recently, he said there are people who can model, that means demonstrate, true humanity, what it means to be a good human.

And this is not about screaming, "They're doing this to us. Oh, how awful they are." It's about just saying, "Okay, I accept. This is reality. Now what? How do I spend the rest of my song, which is the rest of my life, doing something that really matters?" But getting back to what I'm talking about, if you say the right things, you're going to be definitely attacked. That will happen.

There's a lot of rather fake people out there too that have made massive businesses, massive businesses out of being the fake fronts for a lot of this stuff. And that's when you always know if they're rolling in the box, believe you me, they're part of the system. Even if they pretend that they're opposite, they're rolling in the box. That's one of the clues. And they've no problem getting it on television or wherever it happens to be. But when you forget and throw out...

your natural humanity. And that was the connection with what they called the world of spirit, all through religion. When you throw that out, then you're at the mercy of the worst materialistic, scientific, tyranny the world has ever seen. And unfortunately, because you have nothing to hold on to, faith-wise, in terrible times of stress and evil, then you'll crack completely with nothing to hold on to. When you look across the world,

Today, incredible corruption everywhere, everywhere you look. In the West, amongst the general population, now there's a role for materialism, easy credit and disposable products that don't last very long, but it's a constant consumer society. It's really scary when you look at it. It's really scary where life is becoming so cheap. And if we're being trained to see life as being cheap,

And I'm okay, Jack, as they say. I'm all right, Jack. It's so tough luck on you. And it starts with youngsters, babies. It ends up with elderly people or folk who are just sick being offered euthanasia rather than having treatment for problems which are easily treated today. It may cost a bit of money. So what? Your governments have got plenty of money to blow on their own incredible salaries and expenses and the massive multilayered civil service system that you have.

that would terrify you when you see the incomes of these characters. And the cost of living, of course, which is going to go up because of the bank scandals, which is simply the fact that the money system has always been a scandal, is backed by nothing. There's nothing backing either the paper or plastic or digital currency. There's nothing there. A whole different topic, but the fact is society now wants to be the multimillionaires. Everybody's been trained that they deserve it.

And the general public, as we lose, as I say, to try to get back on the initial topic that was vaguely in my mind at the time, are losing so much to do in the spiritual side of everything. Most folk who go into anything to do with what you'll call modern, New Age-type religions want power to affect other things, you see. They don't want to work on themselves so much, but they want power.

By simply learning different rituals, whatever it happens to be, to conjure up and get power for themselves, to manipulate those around them for their own, so that they themselves can benefit from the people, etc. Whatever it happens to be. Very old, as you know. In ancient times, it used to be just love potions to turn a guy's head, or whatever it happened to be.

that was long before they created a miniskirt it goes on and on and on with power power power where really the spiritual side of things was about improving yourself and changing yourself really that's what it's about everyone's got the great equalizer eventually which is death in itself isn't it you end up dead whereas in the grave or you're you go up in a pile of flames and gas it's all the same you end up dead we like it or not in the physical world most of what want to come back into this world

If they're very rich and wealthy and they love life, like the ones who rule the world, they want to live forever. If they could simply clone a body, a brand new body, and download the engrams from the brain, the whole memories, everything.

and take it over, they'd be very happy. They're actually working on all that, because they really do. They don't have the same, "Oh my God, I'm getting worn out with working, and I'm worn out with my joints because of working," or whatever it happens to be. They don't get that, because they get incredibly high medical care. The real stuff, the three levels of medicine, they're at the top level, not at the professorship downwards. That's the bottom level. And that's why they live so long at the moment. And because they do love life, and they've never had a care in the world,

And have servants that deal with all the management, their land management, their domestic management, everything else for them. They don't even know when the car's being serviced. It's all being done for them. These are petty things built to distract them from what they're really into, you see. And they do want to live forever.

It's the opposite, interestingly, of really what religion at one time was about. Now religion too has been abused all down through the ages, on and off. You always get bad segments and bad people in the charge of things. You always get it. Anything that starts off even with the best intentions over time will become corrupt when money enters into it and a good lifestyle enters into it. It's very much like the Franciscan society is an example.

And St. Francis, his idea was that they would serve humanity for nothing. And the monasteries grew the food and all the rest of it. The monks would go out and help the poor and feed them and so on. And that's how they started. They went off to do his rounds to other places and traveled, came back. And he was so disgusted, how fat, not kidding you,

the monks had become because so much money was being donated to them by rich widows generally whose husbands died of either wars or just old age or whatever and they would leave the money to them and they were getting rich and fat and they weren't going out to help the poor anymore so he literally turned his back on it on some of the monasteries he started he wasn't the only one

But that's always human nature because we're in a world, a physical world, a hard physical world, aren't we? Can't deny it. Some climates are easier to get on with than others and live in. But it's pretty harsh for most places. And survival in a moneyed system doesn't have much time for people who are sick.

or getting older and can't do the hard, hard work to just to scratch the dirt even in a system where they don't have the welfare state, etc, etc, etc. And that's the dilemma that folk are in always. How to survive and get along and just survive, basic survival. And at the same time, keep your humanity and your link to something greater in yourself. Without it, you truly are in the worst horrors in the world have been committed to

under socialism, the atheistic system, the worst horrors. National socialism was a Nazi thing they tried and that was carefully studied by the Royal Institute for International Affairs because they were awfully interested in maybe using this across the world. Hasn't disappeared, that technique. Forget Germany, it was meant to be international. And so they used the international communism, Soviet system,

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Horror, I'm telling you, horror is where it goes. When there's nothing else, because natural human decency goes down the tubes. There's nothing to hold it there. Something bigger than yourselves. I don't mean government.
