There we go. Look at that. Technology. Welcome to this. Very thankful for Google for putting on this wonderful room, because this track has just been an incredible technology track. So very thankful I get to share what, to us, is Starke Wayne is something that's been super important, which is both backing up and the, perhaps, 90% more important task of restoring data across many, many data sources. Because Cloud Foundry itself doesn't have a lot of opinions about backups. Like, it's a good idea. So perhaps, I don't know, read up on it.  You'll do cf help, and that gives you the same set. And eventually, you find the minus a flag and it gives you everything. And you'll scroll through it, and you'll be looking. And then you'll go, oh, I'll just grep. I'll just grep. I'll try to find the command I'm looking for. And you do grep backup. And there's nothing. All right, all right. What about grep restore? Grep archive. Grep help. Cloud Foundry CLI, Cloud Foundry Service Broker API, nothing really has anything of opinion about backups, which is a pretty bad point to start, because if you can't, it doesn't really matter even if you could backup, because if you don't know how to restore, you're nowhere near close to having a system you can love. And so, yeah, like in the previous talk, we talked about monitoring, being like the base if you can't monitor. The same when it comes to production systems, if you can't restore, it's nothing. It's not production. That's for sure. It's a toy. You can be excited that it works at all, but don't share it with your friends or people you hope to continue to be employed with. So let's go back to that. So from your user's perspective, when I was doing my honors year, I'll tell you my quick disaster recovery. We all have these stories, and perhaps this is why I care about this so much. When I was finishing my honors year, you have a thesis to write, and it might be so many pages. You do not write them progressively throughout the year. You write them all at the end. And in 1996, Microsoft Word 95 was the thing to use. Okay, some people use latex, but I had no idea how that worked. And so, but Word 95 really couldn't deal with big files. So even though my thesis was only 80 pages or so, it still broke it up in lots of chapters. And I was working happily on chapter three. This is how well I remember this. This is the pain that's about to come. It has burned into my skull that I was on chapter three. And I went to move to work on chapter eight. And chapter eight was not there anymore. And so I looked on Windows Explorer, and all the chapters weren't there anymore in their separate little Word files, except chapter three, which is happily still there. And so I was on the assumption that we had backups. I certainly knew that we did, because I'd been told, put everything on Z drive. That's the shared departmental volume that's backed up. So I'd done my job. And it's a platform that's a department of it. And so I walked down the stairs to the IT department, IT support group, and I said, I can't believe it. I've done so much work in the last 24 hours. And I can't believe I've lost all my files. Can you please recover them? And that's when he broke the first piece of news. He said, well, actually, we do backups every two days. Oh, my Lord. I mean, I was already heartbroken for the amount of work I'd lost in the last 24 hours. Because you do know that the phrase daily backup is polite code for 23 hours of data loss. It sounds like a real phrase.  Daily backups, this man knows who he's doing. I'm going to another meeting. So yeah, so two days. So we're 47 to 48 hours worth of data loss. This is pretty exciting because literally a large amount of work was done. And then he looked at the backup drive because it was a thing, a physical thing. And he said, oh, that's interesting. Nothing good's about to come here. He says, this hasn't worked for the last six times. I'm down 14 days worth of work, which to be fair, nothing good had been written 14 days earlier, which would be the basis for continuing my professional career as a human.  And at this point, one of my peers had sculpted into the room. He had a whole demeanor about him that suggested he was intimately aware of what was going on. And he said, I'm really sorry, but I thought this would be a lot funnier. He'd found my password and moved all the files to another folder. So anyway, it turned out really well. I've never spoken to him ever again. It's nice to know where all my enemies are in one go. So everyone assumes you've got backups until you find out that, oh, we don't? Oh, this is excellent. This is really good. I delegated this all to you and you didn't do your thing. And if no one knows that they work monitoring, no one knows how to do the job at the time you actually have a disaster. Because at the time you need to use the restore function isn't a great day. It's not really the day you want to be doing the lookup on how restores work. So there's a whole culture around the whole restoration process that anything you introduce, you should know how to do disaster recovery on before you share it. And you should train and practice. But then the bigger question is how much you do it? So we've been working on a thing for last year and a half called SHIELD. Obviously being Cloud Foundry people, we use it in a Cloud Foundry setting. It is completely generic. You can use it for anything, to backup anything, run it any way you like and have any difference at the back end. And it's really interesting and it's working really well for us and customers and a growing number of people who we find out that they're using it because they hang out on the Slack channel. So I thought we'd share it. Just to quickly answer the question of how am I, you run it and then we'll get into perhaps how it works and that sort of stuff. Really it's that. Thanks to the wonders of Bosch too, we now have this, it was a branch that we merged soon as soon as that's the next sort of major version. But this is as simple as we can get it to run SHIELD. A couple of little patch files you might add in if you wanna pre-configure things. But there's also a CLI which we'll talk about about how to configure Google for example as the back end. And then you've got SHIELD running on a server because SHIELD itself is the scheduling engine. So it just needs to be there so I can start the jobs 3 a.m. whenever it is you wanna do backups. And so we'll just a quick sort of visualize it with a box. So it's both a web view which I'll show and also a running sort of daemon for running the scheduled jobs which you or systems can set up. So the dashboard looks a bit like this and you can sort of see the visibility of what's been happening. Super important that you can see whether things are working, again monitoring and you might wanna hook this in to other systems so you can be alerted. At the core is this idea of jobs. Sort of a core high level idea of what we're trying to do with SHIELD is yes you might wanna trigger backups and you can do that, we'll show you that. But it's a fire and forget thing. You wanna know that it's gonna keep working. The dashboard and the events are gonna show you that it has been working. Not just the whole system but each job is working. You wanna know that it's not. And so each job is sort of like this join table of different ideas. So a target is a thing that we wanna backup. Whether it's a system component like Bosch database or Cloud Foundry's database or a service instance database. So there's nothing sort of system level only about this. We've been using SHIELD agent inside of Habitat containers and Docker containers and all sorts of things that dynamically so the moment a service instance is created it will re-register itself to be backed up. And it will just pop up in the SHIELD dashboard. The store is where we're gonna send things. So Google, Compute, Amazon S3, Azure's bucket system. And we'll talk about plugins but you can write those for yourself. So it's visible as to how often and when that's a text string so to speak. But I mean there is a language for describing the schedule. Retentions, most backup, most companies will have some sort of policies around retention. It's one thing to have a policy. It's another thing that people know and can see that it's the right policy, eyes on this stuff. So it's right up there. One day probably isn't anyone's retention policy, it just entertained me. And whether or not again visibility is this job fundamentally working? Was the last task that this job tried to run did it work? Don't wanna be the IT guy that gets me turning up and you have to tell me that the last six haven't worked. Please don't ever be that person. Now running these things, you can actually just run them. So either from, there's a whole bunch of different ways.  So for the most part I'm gonna talk about the CLI because it's to the most expressive thing. And there's an API. So I remember when people used to learn about Bosch, the Bosch CLI, and they assumed there was no API. I don't get it, I never got it. Like if there's a CLI and the things over there, it has to talk to it somehow. Guess that there's an API. So similarly, shield diamonds over there, your CLI's here, it's talking to it somehow. There is an API and you could look at that. But the shield CLI is really good and will probably do most of the things you want. So we can look at the jobs and we can trigger a job to run. And this, but I mean this, that you could sort of do this programmatically. If at the time that you're shutting down a service instance or draining your service instance or draining a machine, you could automatically trigger it to do a backup at that time. Obviously we have our schedule, we can visibly see what's going on there and running a good job. None of that's important in the slightest if you don't know how to find the backup that best serves you at this point. And so shield has the restoration is I guess the most important feature that after you do the restoration, you want that system to be off and running again. So different plugins work differently but here you can visibly see it's interactive. I'm a fan of interactive CLI's because if a CLI's not interactive, it kind of is because you go through this iterative process of being wrong. So it's interactive in that you get it wrong, go back to help, you get it wrong, get back to help, you get it wrong and eventually it works. So it's sort of still interactive. So why not just offer a helpful interactive menu? I'm not sure of anyone from the Bosch to CLI teams here but I'd like that to be interactive. Hands up who likes interactive CLI's is completely off the topic, I just, you know. Hands up who likes to have no interactive features whatsoever and all the negative connotations I've already given that makes you wrong. Cool, all right, that was good. Far larger group of people. It's all about how you frame the question. CLI's great but really this is super helpful. Now at this point, Shield is only a sort of baker or so. It is a global thing so future work might be to make it sort of specific to service instances but at the moment if you had service instances only sort of an admin would want to look at this but yeah, you press the restore button and doesn't matter how the thing works it will go and restore it. All right, so let's have a look at the basic architecture. And there's this pattern you can imagine for any service. Now the agent and the database don't need to be co-located necessarily. It's a useful pattern because where else are you gonna put it? I mean agent has to run somewhere putting it next to the database or one of the nodes of the database is a place. For some of the plugins it has to be local. There's a file system plugin. You need to access the file system. Would want to be on that machine. Postgres agent, so the agent talking to Postgres theoretically could be off a different machine because it just needs to talk through Postgres but in this example and sort of set in many lines I use I put them on the same machine or the same container if you're running inside Docker or in the same sort of habitat plan for using Habitat, co-locating them, makes or I guess a Kubernetes pod. In this case, yeah, so it's what's noteworthy in this diagram is that the agent is the thing that talks to Google Compute. The backups are not all coming back to the daemon and then being shipped off in this picture. The daemon is merely the thing that triggers the request to do the backup or triggers the request to do the restore. So a quick look at sort of the details of this sort of join table, the job. Again, the two parts. We have the target, so we configure each target is going to be a specific thing to be backed up. And it's going to be relative to where this agent is running. Since this agent's running locally, I probably don't, in this case, need as many credentials. Often you can run locally without credentials and just save for VCAP or whatever. For anyone that looks long enough and you'll see Engrok, that was me playing on my laptop. So I literally had Shield agent running on my laptop. I had Engrok, which is this remote tunneling thing, coming into my laptop. I had the Shield daemon running somewhere else on the internet and I was backing up my laptop's database because I thought that was entertaining. Sometimes, you know, because you can deploy this really easily, as I said, with Bosch and it just works. You go, this is awesome. And then you're about to give a talk on it and you realize, oh, I don't know if I know how it works exactly the way I think it does. And it turned out I was right. I didn't know. And so, my approach was more painful to me because, and all the staff who had to help me point out all the ways in which I got it wrong. So I learned a lot. And the little demo I put together to end up being these slides, I do want to put together as a little sort of walking through tutorial. Even though that's not how necessary you're going to run Shield, you're probably just going to use the Bosch jobs. To run it, because it's really simple. But to understand how it works in every ways is going to make you more confident that you understand and then you really expand it and use it in all the ways that it's pluggable. We also described, this job also described where we're going to back up to. You might only have described the, whilst you're going to have a lot of targets for all the different data things you want to back up, Bosch's database, Cloud Foundry database, and all the service instances, you might only have one store being the one bucket where all backups go. If you have policy reasons, you might need more. But that's sort of the joint table. And so these two things, the way the reason this all can work for an arbitrary set of data sources and an arbitrary set is the notion of plugins. So here we have the Postgres one. The reason that Shield knows how to talk to Postgres is it doesn't. It just calls out to a little CLI app. So Shield needs to know nothing. But the Postgres plugin knows how to talk to Postgres. It knows how to call out to PGDump. It knows how to call out to PGDrestore. And the Google plugin, it knows how to talk to the Google API. Shield doesn't. So for example, when the request comes through, agent calls out to the local Postgres CLI, which is unfortunately named similarly to Postgres' own commands, but fortunately, it knows which one to use. And then it calls out to PGDump.  Does it tar ball a Bzip? Bzip. Bzip's it all up just in case you're specific on that. And then ships it off to Google. And this is what it looks like. I now get to talk at the Google track because I showed Google's product. Thank you very much. I really like their dashboard experience. It's actually really nice. The credentials thing is kind of a little quirky. Like you get this JSON file that you sort of walk around with rather than keys and credentials. But again, that's only if you're outside. If you're inside the machines, they can sort of access. We give them a different set of credentials that they just pass straight through. All right, so when it comes to doing the restore, why did I show this picture? Oh yeah, so restore, really important. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to do backups.  If you're okay with your job just being until you need to do restore, it's probably fine. What are you working on? I'm working on a couple of secret things. Well, one of them, restore. No, no, it wasn't. Sorry, it's good to have this. So it works in reverse. The agent calls out the request comes from the daemon. So the CLI talks to the API, the daemon. The daemon calls out to the agent because it knows which agent to talk to based on the target. And it calls out to the Google CLI, which knows how to talk to the Google. Again, plugins and then reverse with that and impacts the BZIP file and then use PG restore. And you can imagine running a plugin for anything.  I'm not 100% sure why they're all clumped together but I guess some of them do have an overlap, but anyway, it's a little messy. So I've put the likons for your benefit. And mine, pretty much most things I do, my benefit. Hopefully my benefit is your benefit. This helped me. So you can sort of see the different places that you can store. If the one you want isn't there, make one. SCP, make a plugin. Doesn't have to go in here. You can put it in your own repo. As long as by the end it becomes a binary executable and has, and I'll show you what it needs to look like. And similarly, for the data sources. There's no way that we're close to finishing this list because when you look at the complete contract of what you wanna be able to do, you wanna be able to do the restore where the system is left running correctly at the end. So we're playing around with using the file system plugin. File system plugin, copies, files. Yeah, that's what it does. It's copies files. Into a visit file. And then restore function, unpack some. It's pretty special. And we thought we could use this for Redis because Redis writes things to the disk. It's all the data's there. And, but unfortunately, when you unpack, we do the restore in reverse. You press that restore button, you unpack. Redis, the process does not know this. And it will carry on. And so that's not ideal. So we may need to write a Redis plugin or perhaps a Redis Habitat plugin because the plugin is gonna need to know how Redis, to talk to Redis, tell it to reload the data or restart or manage that process lifecycle. And that's fine. As long as it's the end-to-end function, knowing that pressing restore is gonna end up with your system working again, that's the contract. That's more important than whether plugins are easy or hard or lots. Then the plugins are pretty easy to write.  But fundamentally, you write them in anything as long as they fit this CLI contract of these functions. So Postgres one, the Google one, see how they look exactly the same. You start to see that they have different configuration. And finally, so just to, you know, when I wrote this slides, I could have gone as well deep dive on how you write one and everything. But you don't need to know that right now. What you need to know is that you should not go to any more talks after this, except, except Kevin's, which is next, wherever Kevin is talking. You should go to see Kevin. And then you should come and see my Docker talk. So forget what I just said. You should wait patiently to the end of the conference. And then go and look at Shield and how you're gonna start backing up and restoring stuff. Because it really, it shouldn't take that long. You should have success with it far sooner than any cobbled together system you might have done. And I've seen some quite horrendous attempts. Horrendous attempts at backup and restore where they really were only focused on backup. Didn't have great ideas of how they're gonna restore things. Like just taking snapshots. Snapshots are a lot like the file system plugin. It's like saying, yeah, it's over there. How are you gonna restore it? I don't know, I won't be here that hour. I will be looking for a job over there. Yeah, never, here's a trick. Look through your ticket queue. And if you see two tickets, one called set up backups. And the other one says set up restores. You should find somewhere else to work. They are not two tickets. There is no such thing as a backup ticket. There is a backup and restore ticket. It's like, how do you know the backups are working? I just saw them over there. The restore is the most important part. And corollary that is your team knowing how to do restores is really the use case. It's not that there is backup and restore. It's that in the event that we need this that all the appropriate people know how to do it and with confidence. That's the story. It's much a teaching story as it is a functional story. Lots of different ways. It's just an agent and just plug-in. So you could write chef if you want it. You could manually do it like I did in my laptop. Couple of common ones. There's the boss job, which you could use to run, collocate or put anywhere. And a growing number of examples. And then there's also a Terraform plug-in. It's not yet been merged, but Terraform 0.10, they're gonna sort of make, there's a huge backlog of tickets for Terraform. And I think they just decided that they had, they wanted to just close them all, because they're not our problem. So they're gonna have lots of different repos. So this sort of thing should become more accessible. But there's another way to set up SHIELD. And obviously, I mentioned Habitat. Habitat's this thing that came out from the people that did Chef. Chef is very old and we make fun of it. That hasn't changed.  It's, it is what it is. But the people that did Chef have had, seen the world that we want to solve and they want to make it really easy to build sort of self-organizing peering systems. So you want to do Postgres clusters? It shouldn't be hard. It shouldn't be hard, except if you go to the Postgres Docker image, the canonical one, the underscore slash that one. The one that's the standard. It has all the important description of what Postgres is. Highly available, continuous streaming archives. Sounds wonderful. That Docker image can't do any of that. Because it's hard. We do a lot of stuff with STD, your console to form clusters. I've gone off the track, but I have time. Then, you start to make up stuff and thank God for STD ZooCupering and console for the ability to coordinate locking and lead a election, those sorts of things. Then you've still got a lot of bespoke code for templating and the whole process of changing the role of, say, Postgres from leader to master to no longer master. That's a very special role. That's called deleting everything. You can't go from was master back to master. That's not a thing. If someone else is master now, you need to forget whatever you were. You need to delete everything. The whole looking after of a cluster through it, the 10 years of its life is non-trivial. And so the habitat is an attempt to provide hooks and plugins to make that interesting. So we find that really interesting. So Shield is sort of an agent that you can use and just run inside the habitat plan. So it just runs, basically, a Postgres will wake up and just start backing itself up. That's really interesting. Please come and hang out with us in the Shield channel and ask questions, get started, add plugins.  I need some personal time. I just want me in 250 blog posts. That's what I want. There's 250 blog posts. I wouldn't read them all. Skip all the ones I wrote. No, I'd read all of mine. They're awesome. But yeah, just flick through and see if there's anything that we had to do that was just not obvious, that we just know everyone's gonna have the same problem. So we just try to write blog posts to share these ideas.  One help with Shield or anything else, please ask us for help. If we can't help you, we'll find someone who can. We'll tell you where to look. And yeah, if you ever have any thoughts whatsoever on Shield, backups, the future, please come to the Slack channel and hang out. Thank you very much. The Slack channel is on the Cloud Foundry Slack, so you go to cloudfoundry, so slack.cloudfoundry.com, sign up. Many, many good Slack channels there. Questions, I forgot that I should ask for questions. To service brokers. Like I said before, the whole Cloud Foundry thing is not really designed. So yes, in the open service broker API world, we could go there as an open service broker channel. We could talk about it from there. My, and a few of us believe that, let's just embed it. So have a restore function. So the Dingo PostgreSQL we did, included a few of these ideas, like allow things to be recreated. And then when they wake up, they just automatically restore themselves. Doesn't really have a good idea for point in time. But no, so there are some ideas, and they're the sort of ideas a person would come up with if they didn't want to change Cloud Foundry. Because you want to help everyone who's already got Cloud Foundry. And some of them are pivotal customers or whatever they have older versions of Cloud Foundry. So to fix Cloud Foundry, kind of says, none of you get to be helped. So it's a little bit tortured about that. But I would like the service broker API to be expanded to have first class ideas about backup and restore. All right, so multi-tasking. So the other part of it is, if you owned a service instance, it was yours, you had access to it. Can we do a filtered view on the shield dashboard that through the UAA said, okay, you get to see this one, but none of the others. Right, so Bosch Backup and Restore saw the talk and so Bosch Backup and Restore has this idea of, all right, let's sort of snapshot Cloud Foundry right now. And so it's synchronized across everything. The implementation of each of those little things might be, let's call the shield daemon to tell it to do something. Yeah, someone's doing something. I mean, James is one of the shield people he said, yeah, he knows about it, he's looking at it. All right, you're awesome. Thank you very much.


How to monetize all your videos with just a few clicks this year in 2020 because YouTube moved things around.  Click edit and select two things. Upload policy where you have to choose monetize in all countries, make sure that's selected and add settings. In add settings, you have to then choose update type of ads, make sure you've selected them all or you may choose not to select non-skippable ads if you really don't want them on your channel but you will make less money if you uncheck that box. I will keep it checked and then you can click update location of ads. I don't recommend you do this in your first pass. I recommend at first keep this unchecked and I'll tell you why. When you're done click update videos, click the I understand and then click update. It will go through every single video on your channel to make sure you haven't forgotten to monetize anything so you don't have to go one by one but I'm going to cancel because I want to now talk about this update location of ads. It's a little touchy subject because if you let YouTube automatically set mid-roll ad breaks then your audience might complain because you will start they will start seeing ads in the middle of your videos where before there were never any ads. So what I suggest is this go to one of your videos let's say this one then click on monetization and then choose during video mid-roll. This will let you manage the mid-roll for just one video so you can see exactly what YouTube will do when it automatically places ads according to its algorithm. So I'm going to place automatically and it's warning me that I'm going to lose any ad breaks but I don't have any in this video so I don't mind. And you see YouTube placed the ad here so I could have a look to see where it actually placed it. It placed it right at the end of my video where I show my ender. You know that's actually not a bad spot for an ad break but to be honest I don't want people to see an ad just before my ender it's kind of silly in my opinion I want them to see it at a good place in the middle of my video which YouTube did not find with their automatic placement. Other thing to note your videos must be more than 10 minutes to have mid-rolls. If your videos are anything less than 10 minutes mid-rolls are not available for that video. That's another reason to make longer videos more than 10 minutes so that you can support mid-rolls and make more money. But as I said it's a touchy subject because your audience may not appreciate them so you have to decide whether your content is suitable for mid-roll ads and make more money or whether it's not and then you have to decide whether to let YouTube place them automatically or you want to place them manually one by one. So a few questions but you know your audience best in my case I will not place mid-rolls on my videos I will discard these changes and you'll notice I also haven't chosen non-skippable video ads that's a mistake. I would go back and select all my videos like this select all and make sure I'll just do this very quickly again upload policy monetizing all countries add settings update type of ads to ensure my non-skippable ads are checked because I don't want to go to each video and figure out which ones I've missed and then I'll click update I agree and go. Now while that's updating I will show you my video from 2014 that does the exact same thing tell you how to monetize all your videos quickly but you'll see how much YouTube has changed roll it George. You can monetize all of your videos with just a few clicks in your video manager select all your videos choose the ad formats everything to maximize your revenue and then choose the usage policy monetize in all countries then click submit and YouTube will apply that to every single and I changed a little from six years ago don't you think freedom family all right now let's give some of you a deserving shout out starting with solo quattro who wrote hey George can you shout out my channel of it I'm sure you will like my music it's Venezuelan music let's check you out solo quattro 34,000 subscribers okay thank you for that little intro solo quattro his link is down there in the description below if you want to check him out is creating guitar videos on his I think it's a banjo it's all in Spanish but I think everyone can appreciate Venezuelan music even if you don't speak the language thanks solo quattro red team review wrote one day ago you guys helped me get verified and have always been super helpful responding to any questions or comments I've had much love for that red team review is one of the channels that we helped get the verified tick do you want to get verified

favorite games and future videos George all right I'll see what I can do let's have a look at your channel 799 subscribers hello and welcome let's play your trailer oh there's no audio the reason why I started this youtube channel okay first suggestion I is start with audio in your channel trailer fine gaming connoisseur and of course you are a gaming channel to check out him the link is down there in the description below artsy urvine asked about our new partnership requirements he wrote I was a full freedom partner since December 2014 who long time freedom family member love it his question is I read on the freedom discord that freedoms new requirement for partnership is now 5k subscribers so artsy was unlinked by youtube when they introduced the 4k 1k rule in 2018 and he's

This morning's talk was actually supposed to be given by Debbie Herbeck, Pete's wife. I am not Pete's wife. Thank you. Things are going so well. Actually Debbie's not feeling well, so she wasn't able to make it with us this weekend. So let's keep Debbie in your prayers and I'll do the best I can. So let's just take a breath. Now just as we begin our session this morning, I invite you to pray that you would hear what the Lord wants you to hear. What that really does is it takes the pressure off of me. So I can just basically say whatever I want. Lord, that your Holy Spirit would bless and anoint us, that we would be able to allow your spirit to speak to us this morning. Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and never shall be, world without end, amen. See you later, Bob. So we pay attention as we're all aware, the theme that we've chose for this conference actually for all summer is from Luke, the fourth chapter of Luke. And I've mentioned, I think it might be, it's certainly in the top two or three of my favorite texts. But I think for us to have a better understanding of what's taking place, we need to take a look at just a little bit earlier. As Bob stated this morning, Luke was the Gospel of Luke and acts of the apostles were written by the same individual. And for us to be able to have a clarity about what we're talking about in the fourth chapter of Luke, it's important that we look at a couple of the chapters earlier. At the very beginning, we all know the story, right? The angel comes to Mary and says, guess what, you're pregnant, congratulations. Yay, woo, that's great. She says, how can this be? And it says, the power of the most high will overshadow you. All right, so from the very beginning, the Holy Spirit is present in Luke's story. And we're going to see that throughout the rest of the story. So there's a story we had just recently, the visitation, Mary goes to Elizabeth and the Holy Spirit inspires John and the Holy Spirit, there are John leaps in her womb, right? Leaps at her womb at the presence of Jesus. Zachariah says, the scripture says that Zachariah filled with the Holy Spirit goes to the temple. Praise, we know the story of Zachariah, Anna. Same thing. So if we take a look at the third, again, just this idea and this understanding that the Holy Spirit from the very first chapter of Luke is actually writing the story. So you get this sense that something's going on and you have these characters that are in the midst of this story and it's the Holy Spirit that's leading it. Amen? So third chapter, verse 15 to 17, we've got John the Baptist jumps in the scene and John the Baptist says that I'm going to baptize you in water but there's one who's coming after me, he's greater than I am, right? And he's going to baptize you in the Holy Spirit. Now I don't know if that's a term that's familiar with you, my suspicion is that some of you it is quite familiar but for me when I was 20 years old, it was not something that was familiar to me. I was spending a year with the organization called Net and one of the first days this guy, I mean it was just much like what we've seen, people that were singing and singing loud and raising their hands and continuing to shout and praise are really frustrating. I told my father it was a cult. This guy comes up to me and he says when were you baptized in the Holy Spirit? And I said, I've not been baptized in the Holy Spirit. I don't know what you're talking about. I was baptized as a baby, he goes, that's not what I'm talking about. And for the next three or four days, wherever I went, like he just wanted to pray with me. It was like this homing device. He would like kind of come, it's like just let me pray with you, right? But this is interesting because I took my faith very serious, much like Bob, although I never wished I'd killed somebody, much like Bob, I in fact was. I was always a pretty good kid. You know, the Lord was really always part of my life, but I'd never heard this term, baptism in the Holy Spirit. Meet with this other person a couple of days later. She goes, it's just Pentecost. I said, well, what do you mean it's just Pentecost? Is that Pentecost is something that each one of us should experience, not merely an event that happened 2,000 years ago. Amen. So John the Baptist says, there's one who's coming after me. And he's greater than I am. And what his mission is, is to see that you get baptized in the Holy Spirit. Amen. So we jump again to the very beginning of the fourth chapter. And the scripture says, in the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is baptized. Scripture says that the heavens open up and the Spirit came in it look like a, or a goose, whatever, right? We can go either way, Holy Spirit came in. Let's say it's all about translation, depending what you're reading it in, right? Right, but just imagine this, this phenomenal image, the heavens open up and the Spirit comes upon them and the Spirit rushes upon Jesus in baptism. And at that point, we understand more clearly who he is. This is my beloved son. That is, as Bob said in Mass, that the being holy is not merely not having sin because I've met a lot of people who didn't weren't necessarily in serious sin, but there wasn't a holiness about them. And I've met people who were in serious sin and you could just tell there's something about them that they're wrestling and they're struggling with that desiring ultimately to be holy. But baptism isn't just about that. Baptism is you becoming a daughter of the Most High God and me becoming a son of the Most High God. And the Spirit rushes, Scripture says rushes upon Jesus and everybody recognizes that. That you brothers and sisters, my suspicion is just about everybody here, probably everybody here has been baptized. And it baptized you are brought into the kingdom of God. You are made a son or daughter of God, but it's not just that the Spirit has rushed upon you at that moment. And it's that Holy Spirit that we hear in the Catechism that is the gateway to a life in the Holy Spirit. The Catechism says you're baptized and that baptism is a gateway that you've been drawn through from life to death to a life in the Holy Spirit, not just a moment in the Holy Spirit, not just an encounter in the Holy Spirit, not just a weekend in the Holy Spirit, but a life in the Holy Spirit. The question we have to ask ourselves, am I living that life?  And we have to continually ask ourselves, am I living that? The Catechism tells us that that begins at baptism. And then we find it in the rest of the sacraments. The Spirit of God animates the sacraments of the church. Amen. Then the next thing we hear, all right? Jesus is baptized, the Spirit rushes upon them. And then the scripture says in the beginning of the fourth chapter, and again, the scripture we're using this weekend is about chapter 12 or 13, the very beginning it says the Holy Spirit again, the Holy Spirit drives Jesus to the desert. Nobody wanted to go to the desert. When Jesus was alive at the time, there were so many things. First off, there was the spiritual significance of the desert and the desert was where everybody messed up, right? If you pay attention to the Old Testament, so oftentimes the wandering, the brokenness, the idolatry, it takes place in the desert. And they go to the mountain and have this revelation of God, but not the desert. The desert also wasn't a safe place. Nobody would go to the desert. Who wants to live in a desert? So it's not just that it was spiritually not pure or not clean for the Jew, but it was also practically not a safe place to go. And the scripture says the Spirit drove. I like it in Luke, it says the Spirit drives Jesus. Almost this sense of he'd prefer not to go, but he knows that he has to. And it's the Spirit that leads him there. The desert, that place of difficulty, the place of struggle, the place of pain, the place of suffering, the Spirit leads Jesus there. My suspicion is we've all been there, right? Last year was a really terribly difficult year. COVID was just going crazy. And I decided we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna welcome the students back here, right? I also did kind of a crazy thing. I said, for the new ones, we're not gonna make them pay. I hadn't thought that went through, but it kind of worked out okay, right? At the same time, my brother was also sick.  Why are they letting kids come back? They're putting them at risk. In the midst of that, my brother's sick. I remember I was sitting in the chapel one day and it was all by myself and there was just this weight, right? Because it was clear at this time that my brother was gonna pass and everything that was just going on and there was just this desert, this weight. And I just, I feel like everything was caving in on me. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do was I doing the wrong thing. Should I have let the students come back? Should I go home to be with my family? What am I supposed to do, right? And there's just becomes tighter and tighter. And I was just so, I was frustrated and I was anxious and I was in the chapel and I was just by myself and I said, Lord, I can't do this. I don't know what I'm supposed to do or how am I supposed to find you in this? How am I supposed to, and in this moment, the spirit of Jesus just rested on me and came upon me and it became real to me again. And I heard the Lord saying, it wasn't, it may not be the most comforting thing for you, but at the moment it was the most comforting thing. I heard the Lord say to me, you will not be crushed. It certainly didn't feel like it. And the spirit of Jesus breathed into my heart and said, you won't be crushed. I'm present with you in this. The spirit leads Jesus to the desert for 40 days. And what he does there is he fixes all of the mess that the desert represented. And then he comes out of that. And I wonder what it was like when he comes back because that's where we're gonna pick up now in the fourth chapter of Luke. And Jesus comes back and he was in the desert for 40 days and I'm gonna guess that there were actually some people that were wondering, did he make it?   Every day she's looking, is he coming back? Is he coming back? I'll bet you they had a stern conversation. And then in the beginning at Luke 4 verse 14, it says, Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the spirit. You cannot read the scriptures. You cannot read especially Luke and miss the fact that it's the Holy Spirit that's animating and it's moving everything. Amen. Jesus returns to Galilee in the power of the spirit and news of him spread throughout the whole region. Everybody's talking about this guy. He's amazing. He's remarkable. 40 days, 40 nights and all this. His word is spreading. Everyone's thinking this guy's pretty amazing. And then this is really cool. He comes to Nazareth where he had grown up and he went according to the custom into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. I've been able to go to the Holy Land a number of times and each time I go, I go to Nazareth and I go to the synagogue and I just sit there and just read this scripture. And it's interesting because there's nothing impressive about this room except the reality that this is where Jesus grew up, that this is where Jesus prayed and this is where we hear in the scriptures today. He stands up and he reads this. They hand him a scroll of the prophet Isaiah and this is important. He unrolled the scroll and he found the passage where it was written. Okay, well, I think that's important is he didn't just like unroll the scroll. It's like, we've all done this right before. Let's see here. Let me just say if this is Isaiah 61, it's the coolest thing ever. That's not, okay. But what he does is he's not playing Bible roulette. We've all played Bible roulette. I actually just saw recently that there's this kind of new game that's going on. It's called Bible roulette and here's how it plays. You close your eyes, you kind of turn the pages, you open the Bible and you've put to one page. Everybody does that to go to one page and then the step two is you do exactly what it says on that page and the winner is the first one who doesn't go to jail. So Bible roulette, enjoy yourself, right? Scripture says the spirit, Jesus says the spirit of the Lord is upon me. Why this is important? This is the beginning of Jesus's public ministry and the first thing he says in the temple and the synagogue where he grew up, the first thing he says, the spirit of the Lord is upon me. And this is really important for us, right? Because this is not merely a proclamation. This is also an explanation, right? Because if we pay attention to the things that's happened in his life over the last many days, the spirit of the Lord is upon me, he says. That's why I've been able to do what I've done. That's why I was able to go to the desert for 40 days. That's why I was able to resist the evil one. That's why I was able to overcome temptation. That's why I was able to untie the knots that have been tied for 2,000 years. Why have I been able to do what I've done because the spirit of the Lord is upon me? And it's also a proclamation of what he's going to do. Why am I able to be able to heal those who are blind, to heal those who are sick, to free the captives? Why am I able to do anything like that? Because the spirit of the Lord is upon me. That's a bold statement, brothers and sisters, to say that the spirit of the Lord is upon me, but this is the beginning of Jesus's public ministry. He's here to proclaim something and that is the spirit of the Lord is upon me. The question we have to ask ourselves is can we say the same thing? Can we say the same thing? Are we comfortable to stand up here and to say the spirit of the Lord is upon me?  The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Brothers and sisters, it is impossible for us to be able to live the Christian life that Jesus had in mind for us apart from the power of the Holy Spirit. And my experience is that so often times we want to live virtuously. We want to live a holy life that we are hearing about this morning. We want to be faithful to the Lord. And we try and we make up our mind and we fail and we try and we make up our mind and we fail. And that's a recipe that causes ultimately despair because we think that we can do this by ourselves but the reality is it's impossible for me to be faithful to Jesus by myself. That I need the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to have this encounter, this encounter that transforms us, that changes us. Jesus says that the anointing of the Holy Spirit is upon me, that he's been anointed, the spirit is upon him and he's been anointed to preach the good news. In the Old Testament, this idea of anointing was that it was just this great image that you had poor oil. When I do baptism, I love to do baptism.  And then watch the mother not drop them but almost drop them, right? But that's the image of the Old Testament, right? The oil in the oil runs over Aaron's beard and all that, that's just a great, great image, right? But it's this anointing that the oil is rubbed on the individual. It's different from the New Testament. In the New Testament, the anointing is an indwelling. It's not merely this external manifestation but in the New Testament, when Jesus is speaking about the anointing, that the anointing he's been anointed to do something, it's this anointing that's taken place on the inside. That something has changed on the inside. I love taking a look at the relationship that we have with the Holy Spirit because in my mind that oftentimes it's the forgotten person of the Trinity. I think Chris said last night that it's the part of the Trinity that's shy, that just is okay without being in the limelight but the one that's actually drawing everything. But we as Catholics can't live like that. It can't be the forgotten person of the Trinity. I love in the Acts of the Apostles, it says when Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled to the interior of the country and he came down to Ephesus where he found some disciples. He said to them, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers? And they said, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. For all too many, that's their story. Is that they haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.  The Spirit of the Lord is upon you. I love the quote that Pope Francis offers. He says that this baptism in the Holy Spirit is an encounter with the love of God that changes us. I remember when I was again on net, I was looking around and there were some things that were going on around me that made me uncomfortable, that made me nervous, that wasn't familiar to me. And a danger in that is that we let that, those external manifestations stop the Lord from doing what he wants to do internally in us. Or we stop only with the external manifestations and we sing and we la, we raise our hands and we cry out but it's not actually causing a transformation or a change inside me. And this is at the heart of what we want to be able to experience. Bob said this morning in his gospel that after the resurrection that the disciples were satisfied and at one level, yes, maybe they were satisfied but they weren't equipped. And this is that from the very beginning, we're hearing the scriptures that Jesus came, yes, He came to free us from our sin, yes, He came to die and to rise for us but He also came to allow us and give us what it was necessary so that we could live this life. So we pay attention to Peter that Heather spoke of last night and Bob spoke of this morning that we find Peter and Peter had had these wonderful encounters with Jesus. I mean, he's amazing, he literally sits at his feet for three years and takes all of this in but it's still, once Jesus died and before the Holy Spirit was sent, he was in a room with the doors locked.  The church isn't born until Pentecost. We celebrate the birthday of the church on Pentecost because something changed in their life on that day. The Peter is in this room, the doors are locked, he's surrounded with a bunch of people and they come out of that, right? And they come out of that changed. And I think what the Lord invites us and what the church invites us and what the scripture invites us is to allow that same change to happen to me, right? 20 year old kid sitting in this chapel saying all of these people are really strange and I don't understand, I don't understand what it means Pentecost and I don't understand what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is and I don't know and understand what it means to be anointed but I was sitting there by myself and I said Jesus I don't understand all this but if you want the Holy Spirit for me then I want this. And my life has never been the same before since that moment that the spirit of Jesus becomes real to me. I become, I understood after having that experience I understood what the scripture says that Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, right? I understood that the change and the understanding of anointing is not an external manifestation but an internal reality because God was close to me and my life was different. I was changed. Perfect, no. But for me so much of my story is the seventh chapter of Romans. Why do I do the things I don't wanna do? Now why can't I do those things that I wanna do because I was trying to do this under my own anointing on my own giftedness, on my own power. But brethren and sisters it simply isn't possible. This is, think about this. Jesus himself was not able to do what he did apart from the Holy Spirit. That's why I stressed at the beginning of this each of the things that was the spirit that was leading Jesus. If Jesus the son of God omnipotent to a holy one isn't able to do the works of his father apart from the Holy Spirit, why do you think you can? Why do I think I can? Right? The spirit of Jesus wants to come and become real to us and animate our life and change and transform and renew us so that we can be faithful disciples. Amen? One of the images I love reflecting on is one of snorkeling. I love to go down to the Caribbean or wherever and just to be able to go snorkeling.  I mean it's gorgeous. It's beautiful with plants and fish and animals and sharks and things like that. Right? But a whole new world that's been there from the very beginning. It's the same experience with the Holy Spirit. Is that when we experience the spirit in our life and we experience that Pentecost when we experience that baptism in the Holy Spirit it opens up a whole new world that's been there all along. It's the world of grace. It's the world of power. It's the world of holiness. It's the world of the sacraments. I mean, when I experience this grace and it's not something that's merely happened once, it's happened lots of times since and before. But that experience that I shared with it after that, the scriptures became alive to me. It wasn't just a dead word but it actually had something to say to me. The sacraments became alive to me. A greater love of the Eucharist. A greater love of the sacrament of reconciliation. A greater love of the church. That it opened up a world that in many ways, I, again, I was pretty faithful but it was small and what the Spirit did is it opened and it made it immense. And it brought about change in my life. Again, that's why I love Pope Francis' definition. The counter with the love of God that changes me. That there are things that I don't do that I used to struggle with that I've been changed. People who often come to me and they'll say to me, you know, Father, how do I know that God's really working in my life? How do I know that he's real as if there's this dipstick, right? You can just kind of check it.  It's evident. We pay attention to the scriptures. Speaks of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It contrasts two ways of living in Galatians.  Those are the things if you're living according to the flesh. Then Paul goes on and don't blame me. I'm not the one who wrote that. He said, if that's the way you're living, you're not gonna inherit eternal life. I didn't say it, he said it, deal with him, all right? Those who are living according to the spirit, peace, joy, gentleness, kindness, right? How do I know? Well, I'm more patient with the friars. They look all nice. They'll drive you crazy, live with them, right? Just live with them, right? I'm kinder, I'm more generous. I love at the end of John, Jesus comes and he breathes on them and he says, receive the Holy Spirit. And he also says, peace. I mean, there's all these great charisms that are wonderful, we'll talk a little bit about more later. If this is awesome, that's kind of new to you.  But I think peace, we undersell it. Who here wouldn't like to experience more peace? He says, peace be with you and he breathes on them. He breathes the spirit of Jesus upon them, right? So how do we get this? People ask me, how do I get what you've got? Well, there's no special magic sauce. The only thing that's required, and for some it's really, really difficult, is to say yes, to say yes, to give the Lord permission. To say that that same spirit that anointed Jesus, that I want that to anoint me, that same spirit that empowered Jesus in the midst of the desert, in the midst of everything caving in on him. I want that too. That same spirit that came upon Mary in a situation that she didn't know and understand and she didn't know how this was all gonna work out, but she still said yes. That same spirit that animates. The same spirit that doesn't just heal, but takes brokenness and restores. The same spirit that takes people who are dead and makes them alive, that's what I want. I want to live different. I want to live in an anointing. I want to be comfortable to stand up and say that the spirit of God is upon me. And to own that reality. That the spirit of God is upon me and anointed me and filled me and consumed me and overshadowed me and saturated me. That's the life I want to live because I can't do this by myself. I'm just so tired and frustrated and I just can't do this by myself anymore. So we ask and we give permission. Amen. Stand up.   Oftentimes we go before the Lord and our hands are closed and they're clenched or we've got our own agenda and the Lord can do really pretty amazing things if we're willing to give up our agenda, our plan, our will and allow him to be present and allow his will to be done. So really, really simply, just say come Holy Spirit. Now for a moment, say that not because I told you to but just speaking to the Lord, come Holy Spirit. Jesus, breathe on us. The spirit of the Lord is upon us. Jesus, you've anointed us in baptism. You've send out the power of your Holy Spirit in Pentecost. It's been confirmed in the sacrament of confirmation. It's been sealed.

India is a place littered with incredible ancient, yet unexplained, ruins. Intricate ancient carvings can be found dotting the cliff faces, seemingly laser-cut caves hewn from enormous rocks, and perhaps the most impressive of its collection, the rock temples hewn straight from bedrock, which can be found all over the country. We recently focused our attention on one of these sites in particular, perhaps the most impressive of these ancient temples. Known as Kailash, it is a structure drenched in sculpted animals and religious idols. Many others also exist, somehow carved straight out of stone hillsides. The accuracy in which these structures were carved, the refined finish achieved, has allowed these structures to evade explanation to this day. There is, in fact, another site within India, another temple, that, just like Kailash, was somehow hewn from a solid hillside. However, what is particularly interesting regarding this temple is that it was mysteriously abandoned, leaving the apparent different stages of its construction for all to see. Known as Vettavan Coil, it is located within Kallagumalai, a panchayat town in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Intriguingly, upon the structure and the carved walls, which it is now framed by, is the same telltale chisel marks found at so many other sites around the world, an anomaly we have already covered in depth. However, what is particularly interesting regarding Vettavan Coil is the fact that these crude marks are also accompanied by the seemingly impossible perfect finished sculptures, which mystify all who peer at them to this day. It is a visual chronological timeline cast in stone, possibly left by an as yet unknown people using unexplained yet amazing artistic skills. The temple seemingly displays the methods used to carve it. The artist responsible crudely chiseled the design, presumably somehow from the mind's eye, then somehow professionally worked into the refined astonishing art which adorned so many of these ancient Indian structures. Who built Vettavan Coil? How did they achieve such perfection with such hard stones at such an early time in history? Is it like academia would have you believe a mere 1400 years old? Or is it a far more ancient structure built using as yet unknown stone working techniques used by an unknown group of artists? As research mounts surrounding such sites, the answers will inevitably be discovered. India possesses an enormous array of incredible ancient architectural accomplishments. Mind-boggling feats of ancient engineering, many of which continue to mystify modern explorers and elude modern understandings. Exquisite details displaying prodigious artistic abilities and accuracy. Ancient stone carvings, which seem all but impossible, yet here they are for all to see. We have in the past explored many of these sites. We have explored the similarities and tool marks found at other sites all over the world, the now lost methods which were utilized to once carve entire temples from a single block of bedrock. We have also investigated the many temples constructed from quarried stones, temples which possess columns seemingly created on lathes, yet many of these pieces weigh in excess of six tons. Just how these feats were accomplished remains a complete mystery. And our next architectural anatomy is of no exception. According to mainstream academics, Virabhadra Temple was built by the brothers Varana and Varupana, which were governors under the Vijayarangana Empire during the reign of King Achutoraya within the 16th century. Located in the village of Lepakshi, a significant place in the great Indian epic Ramayana. Legend has it that the bird Jatayu, wounded by the king of Lanka, fell here after a feudal battle against the king. When Rama reached the spot, he saw the bird and said compassionately to him, Lepakshi, meaning a rise bird in Telugu. Although the temple is claimed as the work of said brothers, just like that of many other incredible, inexplicable sites throughout the world, any explanation as to how they achieved this incredible feat remains elusive. Additionally, there is one feature in particular, which not only remains unexplained, but its past purpose, or perhaps more importantly, how this feature was successfully created, remains unknown. Known as the hanging pillar of Lepakshi, it is a column which initially appears to be a weight-bearing structure. However, on closer inspection, one discovers that this column is in fact set aloft, with its significant weight somehow being dispersed along the temple's roof. It is as if the builder of said temple created the column as a statement, a display of their incredible abilities and architectural skills. The column seemingly serves no function other than to display the capabilities of the temple's builder. It is as if they were simply showing off. Furthermore, along with a past purpose remaining elusive, just how the temple's inner structure actually supports the weight of the column is also an unknown. How can one be expected to believe that a temple such as this located among many of India's other astonishing ruins, one which possesses clear displays of complex, advanced, and in-depth understandings of load-bearing architecture, along with the majority of its existence currently unexplained, was supposedly built by one of our well-studied ancestors, a mere 500 years ago. How can one accept this as a logical explanation for its origins? The hanging pillar of Lopashki is clearly an incredible work of ancient engineering, one that, although claimed as the work of known ancestors, remains largely unexplained. It is a temple which we find highly compelling. We recently covered the astonishing and largely unexplained ancient temple known as Kailash, which quietly sits within India. A temple cut out from a solid rock with such precision, such vision and accuracy, it is a feat we would struggle to recreate even to this day, clearly demonstrating an ancient high technology that has undoubtedly been lost in millennia. Could this temple actually be evidence left by a far older group of people? A remnant left by a far more advanced civilization than that which academia will allow us to publicly discuss within many modern fields of study. Within the Baraba and Nagarjuni hills of the Jihannabad district of India sits another series of rock cut features. Six crudely cut caves carved into large stones which litter the surrounding hillsides. They could be seen as crude and possibly more modern attempts to recreate what can be found on the top of the hill. Known as the Lomas Rishi cave cut into an enormous rock, it is the only one out of the many within the area which demonstrates a level of refinement which literally boggles the mind. The only cave in the area that has a delicately cut entrance but also an interior which has seemingly been protected from the elements perfectly preserved in its original state demonstrating a state of rock cutting which has left the rock polished to a mirror smooth finish. Evidence reinforcing the postulation that this cave and additionally Kailash temple are remnants left by a far older and once far more advanced culture than officially accepted. The Hutt style facade at the entrance to the cave is officially accepted as the earliest example of the oggy shaped chacha arch or chandra shala that was to be an important feature of Indian rock cut architecture and sculptural decoration for centuries during its post cataclysmic development. The example here is largely accepted as the specific influence for later examples of which there are many at later Buddhist sites such as Zajanta caves and Kala caves in Maharashtra. How or indeed who cut the Lomas Rishi cave? How did they achieve such an amazing finish to the stonework? Were these same people responsible for the construction of the Kailash temple? Also another structure exquisitely cut out of a giant solid stone. Although modern academically accepted views state that they were created during the reign of the Mayan emperor Kalki, a Buddhist ruler from the 3rd century BC who ruled over almost the entire country of India. Caves known as Satgava were carved into the hills for the use of the monks. Lomas Rishi cave being said to have been one of them. Yet due to its exquisite quality it's hard to see just how they can claim this. The 16th century Kerala's temple located within India used to be the royal chapel of Travancore's rulers. It's shot to fame 5 years ago when one of its 6 vaults later coded as A was opened unearthing tons of gold coins, jewelry and diamonds worth hundreds of millions of dollars. An expert panel inventorying assets at Kerala's famous Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple has approached the supreme court for permission to open and as yet untouched vault.  The temple situated in the heart of India is billed as the country's richest and is one of several Hindu shrines that hold enormous amounts of gold and precious gems. The wealth was accumulated by way of holy offering from devotees over many years. The temple contains 6 chambers buried deep under its sanctum sanctorum. 2 of them are open during daily rituals and 2 more every 6 months. The remaining 2 are secret vaults. Sources close to the temple said antique coins found in the chambers alone weighed more than 600 kilograms. Around 200,000 items were documented, 600 of which were embedded with precious gems. One single locket alone was believed to contain 997 gems. Besides jewels, precious stones, necklaces, golden crowns and pots were also included in the list of inventory sources said. According to the India Times, an audit conducted into the assets shows that a massive amount of gold has mysteriously disappeared. Up to 769 gold pots and silver bars have been reported missing. Some suggesting that there are hidden tunnels beneath the chamber which allowed the architects to lock the chamber doors from within, making it impossible to breach. This secret tunnel seems to have led to many years of plundering the treasure trove without anyone noticing. However, what has not been publicly acknowledged by the Indian court is the existence of the hidden inner chamber beyond Vault B. Reported as having thick walls made from solid gold and it is where the real treasure is said to be located. Dwarfing what has been recovered so far it could quite possibly contain the largest undiscovered treasure in the history of the world. Not only is the temple covered in gold it seems it is also stuffed full of the stuff also. An expert panel from the Center for Earth Science Studies has also quashed rumors that the B Vault has an underground tunnel connected to the Arabian Sea. The team led by Dr. Ajakhmar Verma detected small cavities and drains around cellars that they found insignificant. Chamber B is not part of the temple's official treasury. The Holy Chamber houses idols of gods and many other valuables meant to the potency of the principal deity. Also found was a pure golden throne adorned with hundreds of diamonds and fully precious stones meant for the seeding of a past giant that has been estimated around 18 feet in height. In addition many other large sometimes giant and very old solid gold crowns were found all studded with diamonds and other precious stones. The valuables are believed to have been accumulated in the temple's vaults over several thousand years. Having been donated to the gods by various dynasties and kings we will keep you posted on what they find in Vault B. A few months ago we did a video regarding an enigmatic mountain which rests within modern day Tibet. We touched upon the amazing legends speaking of the mountain actually being that of an ancient man-made pyramid which according to such legends is placed at the center of the universe. They spoke of a mysterious giant eye placed upon the top of the mountain. An eye which according to said legends will reveal itself when the ice and snow within the area melts away. Akin to a story containing the eye of Mordor, yet hopefully not as malevolent. Although Mount Kailash can be found within modern day Tibet its location is very close to the borders of India. A place which few know possesses of if not the most amazing ancient structure to have ever been discovered or indeed built upon our planet. A structure which dwarfs the great pyramids and indeed the great Sphinx with artistic wonder. Actually known as the Kailash Temple it is an exquisitely cut series of supposed preying temples and other communal buildings which was many thousands of years ago carved straight out of an enormous horseshoe shaped rock resting within a hillside. According to mainstream academia Kailash Temple was somehow built by a primitive people using primitive tools during a duration of 400 years from 200 BC to 600 BC. However no one seems to be able to explain how such a primitive culture could have possibly created something so awe inspiring something so artistically accurate and wonderful. Something we would indeed struggle to recreate today. A structure not only architecturally accurate but also drenched in a masterpiece of sculpture. Largely accepted as a flawless piece of art no less than 200,000 tons of stone was masterfully carved away creating several separate temples each drenched in tiny artistic detail. Rediscovered in 1819 is it possible that the Hindu decorations found within were merely later additions? Additions to a relic left actually built by a civilization far more advanced and far more ancient than we are allowed to publicly believe.  It is conveniently unexplained just how they managed to cut into the single block of rock with such precision and indeed vision adorning the structure with thousands of animals. It seems as if it were a tribute a gift depicting what can be found on our planet. Is Mount Kailash as legends say, really the center of the universe? Is this mind boggingly detailed most intricately built ancient temple by a long way actually a tribute to this fact? Made up of temples which are all now perceived to be shared between three faiths, Buddhist, Hindu and Jain. Are these multiple faiths further evidence of a re-inhabitation rather than a construction? The 200,000 tons of rock for example is nowhere to be found and as previously covered in the Kailash video, the same is seen with the apparent enormous excavation found around the base of Mount Kailash itself. Compelling evidence for manipulation of the landscape, giving credence to the legends of it being in fact an enormous pyramid. Regardless of this, the fact that the temple carries the same name as this mysterious and still unclimbed mountain within Tibet we find highly compelling.


that data mirrors what's in the actual total, right? So now I've got the averages for each of those 75 and I can compare that to the actual middle number and you can see some of them are higher, some of them are lower. So that's kind of what we would expect. If I take an average of the averages, I come out to the 2210, which is pretty close to the 2189. And then of course we can build our histograms. So you can start to play with the pictorial representations. Now this one is actually a histogram of the sample of data. So in this case, we took a histogram of this sample 75, where we took 20 of them. So this is plotting out those 75 calorie counts in the buckets of from 538 to 1155 and so on and so forth. The middle point is here at 1773 to 2390. We had eight that landed in here. And again, we know the actual for the entire population is at the 2189. So that's for just one sample. And this one is just for one sample. This is 74. So in this case, we took sample 74. All of these numbers for 20 tests. And it looks like this. Obviously they're not gonna look exactly the same because these are two different sets of 20, which were randomly selected from the entire population. And then we took another one. This is number 73. So if we take each one of these samples that were randomly selected, we get different histograms. And if you take larger samples, then you'll get different shapes of the histogram rather than taking 20. You can take as many as you want. 105,000, you can test it out and excel and play with larger samples and see what the adjustments to these histograms would be. And then this one is taking a histogram of the averages. So in this case, remember that this column is the average of all of the 75 samples of 20 that we took. And so if we take a histogram of the averages, then here's what that looks like. So here's from 1879 to 2039. And again, we would expect the middle point here to be at the 2189 because that's the actual amount. And so you see it's starting to look something more like that. And then it's tapering off and we've got it kind of skewed to the right for this histogram. And we could see that when I take the average again of all the averages, that middle point is at 2210. So this is just another tool. We do this in Excel as well if you wanna see how to do this in Excel, but you can start to play with these data sets and use your pictorial representations and get to fairly large data sets so you can get an idea of what happens when you're using small numbers versus larger numbers and then you can actually build your histograms and charts and whatnot based on the results and you're gonna get a better intuitive fuel of what is actually happening. In future presentations, of course, we'll get into more specifics on how we can kind of describe some of these things mathematically, but it's quite useful to play with this stuff and Excel, which allows you to do fairly large amounts of data to see what the impact would be when you make stay histograms based on those results and also it's great practice for using Excel.
