Matthew LaCroix

His name was Isaac Kasubon.

Isaac Kasubon, remember the name?

One of the most evil men that nobody knows about.

And he wasn't evil because of intentions.

I guess I don't think even he realized what he did.

And what he was was a very, very well-respected philosopher, but he also was an expert on antiquities.

So he would study old text and understand when they were written, right?

Or something like that.

So

The Holy Roman Empire, the Church, had a phenomenal idea.

They said, if we can discredit Hermeticism, we can completely destroy that entire side, and we can take the teachings of Moses and then everything going forward and basically do whatever we want.

Right.

We can just avoid all of natural law, avoid everything else, and we can create whatever we want for a world.

It's competition.

Isaac Kasubon gets hired by the Christian church to go in and prove that the Hermetica that everyone is using, that the version they're reading wasn't written when they think.

And he was very clever in how he did it.

He said, when this was penned,

It was during the time of Alexandria in Egypt before the library of Alexandria burned.

He said it was written by initiates of mystery schools of Alexandria.

And he says it wasn't written when you think it was, except that it was a rewritten thing over and over again for thousands of years before that.
