Hunting the Lost Symbol Page #10

---

was a construction of consciousness

and our world view.

He had a deep

sense of unity ...

as if the molecules of your body

latch onto the solar system ...

and that all were part

of a tangle.

The experience inspired Mitchell to create

the Institute of Noetic Sciences ...

dedicated to the study of the human mind

and its potential.

In "The Lost Symbol," the scientist

noetic ...

attempts to determine the weight of the soul

to confirm your physical reality.

This is actually based

on actual experiences.

At first, when scientists tried to

measure the consciousness or the soul ...

set up an experiment ...

measured and weighed when the body

before and after death ...

with the notion that somehow

were weighing on the soul.

Trying to weigh the soul is something that is not

considered a reliable result ...

but people try to develop

a kind of case ...

to the notion that consciousness

can be more than something physical.

The scientist believes Brown

his research ...

shows that psychic phenomena such as

telepathy, clairvoyance ...

precognition and mind over matter

are real.

As the researchers

Institute of Noetic Sciences.

When analyzing the data

this kind of experiments ...

find statistical evidence

very strong ...

that not only is a real effect,

but it is repeatable ...

and that is what matters in science ...

be repeatable

by independent laboratories.

The noetic scientist Dan Brown

argues that groupthink ...

as in prayer groups

or healing circles ...

can have profound effects.

In the real world, the noetic science studies

the power of prayer ...

and group consciousness

to generate change.

Unlike the book, in the real world

the results are inconclusive.

I think at this point

we need more research ...

because it is something

widely practiced.

And simply discard

because it does not fit ...

in our scientific model

Conventional ...

is doing an injustice to

a quality experience ...

with which people live

for millennia.

Science in the book by Dan Brown

may be light years ahead ...

noetic science real.

In reality more

lags behind the fiction?

As we saw, Dan Brown

established his thriller ...

in a world of fact

and possibility.

Chambers of reflection exist,

but not in the basement of the Capitol.

The government funded the research

about the power of the mind ...

but not at the Smithsonian.

The severed hand was based

in a real legend.

And it is true that the Capitol

has a wall ...

George Washington

portrayed as a god.

We have also seen that the aspects

description of Dan Brown ...

a Washington based hidden

in people, places and real events.

The city has references

the ancient civilizations.

The Scottish Rite Temple there ...

and has two sphinxes

17 tonnes ...

and an unfinished pyramid

on the facade.

The interior is really

a huge temple with a skylight ...

that simulates the All--Seeing Eye

on the dollar bill ...

with two bodies buried there.

The description of the book of symbols

Secret found in the city ...

fascinated by symbols and theoretical

worldwide conspiracy.

The cornerstone

the Washington Monument ...

contains a Bible and the words

Latin "deo laus" ...

which means "praise God"

written in its cornerstone.

The claim that the book

the founders of the country ...

believed in astrology

is true.

The White House, the Capitol

and the Washington Monument ...

are aligned

according to the stars.

And their pillars were erected all

under the same astrological sign, Virgo.

And the National Cathedral

contains ten rocks of Mount Sinai ...

a small moonstone

and a gargoyle in the shape of Darth Vader.

We also saw that Masons are

a real organization ...

and that their secret nature

has generated controversy.

It is also true

obscured the book ...

many of its rituals

and symbols.

An example is the use of the Phoenix

two heads on the facade ...

the true Masonic symbol

is a double--headed eagle.

Another secret Masonic mentioned,

but not in the book ...

is the "Chain of Union."

This ritual symbolizes the union of mind,

body and spirit through the universe ...

the transformation of "a"

in "all".

This ceremony uses the power of

group consciousness to create change.

When you have a number of people

concentrated in a specific ritual ...

saw a ritual that has to be done

perhaps hundreds of times before ...

is to be expected from the perspective

Noetic Science ...

we witness

some kind of change.

And that's the great subtext

religious this book ...

the idea that the deification

it is possible.

Because Dan Brown captivates its readers

with stories about codes and ciphers?

Maybe it's because throughout history,

world events occurred ...

because of secret messages.

Secrets that have been stored

and secrets that do not.

A clue in the book speaks of a Puzzle

created by Benjamin Franklin ...

one of the founders of the most innovative

and Mason.

Benjamin Franklin was unique.

It is the man who invented

major social institutions ...

as public libraries

and postal services in the colonies.

Who wrote convincingly

on political philosophy ...

editor and it was published

very important documents ...

and he also was a scientist in

a time when science was crawling.

I would not be surprised that he also

get involved in recreational mathematics ...

as the Order Eight

of Franklin Square.

Creating magic squares

is not easy.

And he set up a small

cottage industry of it.

We can find the Order Eight

the Franklin Square ...

in one of his almanacs.

We are talking about someone

which is a multi--faceted genius ...

and a statesman.

Although not mentioned in the book,

George Washington was nearly destroyed ...

by a secret cabal.

During the war, General

American Benedict Arnold ...

almost lost the war alone

working with British agents.

His scheme was exposed

only when U.S. forces ...

a British officer who captured

carried an encrypted message ...

in invisible ink.

In the book, Dan Brown writes about

the legend of the Masonic pyramid ...

and its role in protecting

of ancient mysteries.

Brown says in "The Lost Symbol," which

Masons are the keepers Itimos ...

of the ancient mysteries.

And that's partially true.

The traditions of Freemasonry

come from many different sources.

These sources include influential texts

of great thinkers ...

As Isaac Newton

and Francis Bacon ...

and holy books, including

the Bible, the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita.

That's where Dan Brown

is historically accurate.

There were countless mystery religions

Greece, Rome, Egypt.

And what these mystery religions

preached?

I do not want to joke,

but it is a mystery.

In "The Lost Symbol," Brown writes

on the immense power of the Bible ...

to turn for the better ...

but also warns

against the literal interpretation ...

of his prose enigmatic.

The founders insisted on the separation

between church and state.
