All language subtitles for The Story of God with Morgan Freeman s03e05 Divine Secrets.eng

I spent a good portion
of my early acting career

treading the boards in
theatres like this one.

It's a profession
full of superstitions.

For instance,

a theatre is never supposed
to be completely dark,

so...

the ghost light
remains on stage, lit,

even when no one is around.

Whistling back stage?

Completely forbidden.

And there's a certain
Shakespearean play

whose name must never be
uttered within these walls.

You only become
privy to these rules

when you work in a theatre.

Many religions keep secrets too.

Some have a hidden
hierarchy of knowledge

available only to
higher officials.

Why do religions shroud
themselves in secrecy?

I mean, why would they
obscure holy wisdom?

Or,

do divine secrets actually...

bring us closer to god?

I am going to peer behind
the curtain of hidden cults.

They used music
to drown out the cries.

I'll see how secrets triggered
one faith's battle for survival.

Your leaders were
imprisoned by the French.

And spread dangerous
rumours about another.

Christians drank
the blood of children.

Oh my.

I'll witness the
rebirth of the sun...

So let's give a rousing cheer
for the returning sun god.

And a long suppressed faith.

Yeah!

Learn about decoding
divine secrets.

God encoded secrets
of reality in this Torah.

And seek a hidden
pathway to enlightenment.

Could I get a mantra?

I doubt you get any mantras.

I'm starting my quest
outside of Naples, Italy...

in a city whose secrets were
buried in ash in 79 AD,

Pompeii.

Historian, Andrew
Wallace-Hadrill,

is taking me to an ancient home

that Mount Vesuvius
froze in time.

So, push through
the leaves, Morgan,

and you're gonna get an eye
full of something amazing.

That is the Villa
of the Mysteries.

That's lovely.
That is terrific.

Soon after archaeologists
unearthed the villa in 1909,

they realized it held clues

to one of the most secretive
religious sects in history,

the Cult of Dionysus.

So, Morgan,
you've got to see this.

This is the Room
of the Mysteries.

Oh, my goodness.

-This...
-Oh my goodness.

is the most extraordinary
painted room

in any Roman house that I know.

And there is the god, Dionysus.

The Greeks called him Dionysus,

the Romans called him Bacchus.

And you see, he's
sort of, he's slumped,

because he's the god of wine,

he's the god of drink
and he's had some.

He looks a little bit stoned.

He's way, way out of it.

Then around, are all
these scenes that are

somehow associated
with the Cult of Dionysus.

Uh, huh.

Dionysus was the god,
not just of wine,

but also of fertility,

theatre and ecstasy.

Ancient Roman writers told
stories of wine fuelled orgies,

Bacchanalia, held in his honour.

The Cult of Dionysus,

what's the purpose of it?

Huh.

Is it...

Is it a religious thing or?

It's absolutely
a religious thing.

But most religious
practices in the Roman world,

are about how you hold
the community together.

This is not about the whole
community, it's for the initiated,

for the chosen few who have
dedicated themselves to this.

You actually have to
go through a process

to join that type of cult.

What happened
in the Cult of Dionysus

remained shrouded in almost
total mystery for two millennia,

until the frescoes in this room

saw the light of day.

Many historians believe

they show the secret
initiation rites

of a young woman into the cult.

Where does it begin?

Probably, reading left to right,

begins there with a woman
walking into the scene.

The woman arrives fully clothed,

but after a child reads from
what might be a sacred text,

we see her more scantily clad,

possibly bringing an
offering of food for the god.

Then some sort of, is
this a ritual cleansing,

some sort of preparation?

I think this is the scene
that really tells us

that it's something
to do with mysteries.

It's incredibly rare

to depict someone, like turning
your back to the camera.

And that's concealing something.

Oh.

It's something secret going on.

After this scene,

we lose track of the
initiate for a while.

But when she reappears,

she's in a different
state of mind.

She's looking at something
that's happening over here,

with an expression of
horror on her face.

This woman,

she has a whip in her hand,

which appears to
be about to descend

on the back of this lady
here, who has a bare back.

Her head in another woman's lap,

giving her comfort and support.

And the fact there's
another naked woman,

dancing and she's got...

Those bells,
so it's bing, ding, ding.

In her hand and one of the things
they complained about this cult,

was that they used the
sound of music to drown out...

the cries of the people.

You've got this
basket down below,

but in this winnowing basket,

is a very large
object covered with a veil.

And we can be absolutely certain

that what is being
revealed is a phallus.

Oh.

Because the phallus

is so strongly
connected with Dionysus.

The phallus was the supreme
symbol of the god of fertility.

What role it played in
the initiation rites,

what secrets were revealed
when it was uncovered,

are not recorded here

and by the next fresco,

the mood has changed completely.

Here, we have a girl preparing,
apparently, for marriage.

That way of doing your
hair into separate locks,

was part of a Roman tradition
of preparing your hair

for the wedding ceremony.

Okay.

And she has two Cupids
on either side...

and one is holding up...

Probably a mirror of some sort.

The marriage seems to imply
the end of the initiation.

The woman is now ready to
devote herself to Dionysus

and be part of his cult.

This is just fascinating
to end all fascinations.

Uh, huh.

But,

I count 17 women,

where are the men?

So, I think this
is as it's meant to be.

It's a women's cult.

Across the Greco-Roman world,

women seem to have
accounted for most

members of the Cult of Dionysus.

Perhaps it wasn't just a place
to lose one's self in wine.

It may have been a place
where women made the rules.

Of course,

we will never really know.

You know why a mystery
is called a mystery?

No.

It's a Greek word.

Mustes is someone who
has been initiated,

and the word muo in Greek means,

'Keep your mouth shut.'

Once you're initiated,

you can't reveal
what you have seen.

The Dionysiac cult

used wine and sex to get
closer to their gods.

But it seems that the
secrecy of their faith

helped them to connect,
not just to the divine,

but to one another.

It allowed initiates,

especially women,

to worship away from
the prying eyes of Rome.

Their secret religion

set them free.

Secrets are designed to conceal,

but sometimes the very
presence of a secret,

draws unwelcome attention.

I'm in southern Vietnam,

travelling toward
the Cambodian border

in the province of Tay Ninh.

This is the spiritual
home of Cao Dai,

a religion that was once
banned by the government,

but now is practised
in plain view

by over four million Vietnamese.

It's epicentre is
the Holy See Temple,

in the City of Tay Ninh.

I'm meeting with Cao Dai's
esteemed archbishop,

Le Phuong Hong and his
interpreter, Nguyen Tuan Em.

-Hello.
-Yeah, good morning.

-Hello.
-How are you?

Thank you.
And you?

Very well and
thank you very much.

-Yeah.
-Big question.

The eye, what does it mean?

This is amazing!

There are nine steps,

representing the nine
stages in heaven.

Ah-ha!

And you can see,

there are 18 columns
surrounded by dragons.

Are these saints?

They are representing the
religions combined of Caodaism.

There was a message from God

to unite the branches
of the religion.

Of religion.

And you can see, in the middle,

the first one is Buddha

and then on the left hand side,

you can see Lao Zi,
representing Taoism,

and this is Confucius.

And then Jesus Christ
representing Christianity.

Ah-ha, that is him.

And now is time for the service

and we would like to go upstairs

and we show you where
you can see the service.

Excellent.

As I watch the congregation

being marshalled into
precise formation,

I can't help thinking
that Caodaism

has almost militaristic
overtones.

It's a hint of the
religion's secret past

and its battles with governments

that grew into outright war.

The Cao Dai religion,

an unusual blend of
eastern and western faiths,

appears to be
flourishing in Vietnam.

Across the country there
are almost 400 temples.

Followers worship openly,

but it wasn't always that way.

I've been offered an
audience with Cao Dai's

senior cardinal,
Thuong Tom Thanh,

to understand the religion's
secretive history.

How do you do, sir.

Very pleased to meet you.

Can you give me...

a brief history of the religion?

The purpose of Caodaism is...

to unite the traditions of
all religions in the world.

Caodaism was established
in Vietnam in 1926,

and Vietnam, at that time,

was under the control of
the French administration.

I understood that
some of your leaders

were imprisoned by the French.
Is that so?

There was some misunderstanding

between the French

and Caodaism at the time.

The leader was arrested
and sent in exile...

for five years.

But after that,

when they understood the
purpose of this religion,

the French administration
let His Holiness

to be returned into Vietnam.

But Cao Dai's struggles did
not end with the French.

In 1943, they took up arms
against Japanese invaders.

The Cao Dai army,

established a semi-autonomous
state in the Mekong Delta,

that survived for a decade
after the Japanese left.

When the Communists took
control of Vietnam in 1975,

Caodaism was banned for
more than two decades.

It wasn't just
because the government

feared Cao Dai's
military history,

or its blending of faiths
from all over the world.

It was also because
of the secret ceremony

that lay at the heart
of the religion.

So those mediums

were used to establish
the religion.

Those mediums received
the messages from God

to establish and write out
the religious regulations,

the constitutions

and now we use those as
the basis of Caodaism.

The details of what happened in
these seances is still secret,

known only by high dignitaries.

What is known,

is that there were
always two mediums

controlling some
sort of instrument;

someone to read the instrument,

and a secretary to
write down the message.

When the Vietnamese
government made it legal

to practice the Cao
Dai religion in 1997,

one of the conditions was

that seances would
remain banned.

So, are these mediums
chosen by God today?

All the former mediums

have fulfilled their duties
and now they return with God.

All the regulations
and doctrines have been

written down by God
through mediums.

Now, all we have to do is just

follow the rules and carry on?

And we all try for peace and
independence in the world.

Got it.

The followers of Cao Dai say

they no longer need
secret seances to spread

their message of universal
humanity, love and justice.

What was once the most
sacred part of their worship

is now history and the
religion is thriving.

Being forced to hide something

sometimes helps us to learn to
get along just fine without it.

But some religions keep secrets,

because they believe they are
too powerful to be revealed,

except to those with
years of training.

I'm in Kathmandu, Nepal,

to learn about a branch of
Buddhism called Vajrayana,

or The Diamond Vehicle.

It is the final level of
Buddhist teachings,

known as an accelerated
path to enlightenment.

Here at the Kopan Monastery,

I'm meeting one of
their head monks,

Geshe Thubten Jinpa.

-Hi, Morgan.
-Hello, Jinpa.

-Welcome to Kopan.
-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.
-Thank you. Thank you.

Come see.

I take you to the
monastery, okay?

I want to try to learn more

about their rapid
pathway to enlightenment.

Some of the mantras the
monks will chant today,

are said to contain the sacred
power of enlightened beings.

They recite them to invoke
those divine energies and

advance toward their
own enlightenment.

Okay.

These mantras
are not for my ears.

In the hills above Kathmandu,

only the faintest
sound of Buddhist monks

chanting a secret mantra

escapes the temple doors.

This only makes me more curious.

Why all the secrecy?

If it will lead
to enlightenment,

why not reveal it to all?

'Diamond Vehicle', Jinpa.

Why do you use
that term, 'diamond?'

It really cuts through,

like you use a sort of a

diamond to slice the glass.

Yes.

And it pierce the
wrong conceptions.

So that's why we
call it 'diamond.'

If you are a student
and you are starting out,

you could get into
the Diamond Vehicle?

First, we have to get
well trained for that,

so when Buddha taught this,
The Diamond Vehicles,

He reveal it to the some
particular, special students.

Why must these
mantras be kept secret?

So without that proper training,

so you will misuse
of that mantra

and it bring harms to others
and as well as yourself.

As well to yourself.

These monks have had years
of training in meditation.

They believe learning
a secret mantra,

without such preparation,

risks actually increasing
their negative thoughts,

taking them further away
from enlightenment.

So, Jinpa,

what are the real requirements
in terms of

trying to gain enlightenment?

So the very first requirements
is the motivations.

Motivation?

Now, Jinpa,

I'm fairly intelligent myself,

so my question is,

could I get a mantra?

Uh, oh, wait.

Okay, is this on...

-Yeah.
-Is on?

Okay, oh, sorry, sorry.

Mantra?

I know you are very smart but,

I doubt you'd get any mantras.

Ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Oh no, I'm just joking.

There is different
degrees of mantras.

The one mantras, which always
brings goods to everyone,

whether you have the
pre-required training or not.

So I can share that with you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Traditionally,

a mantra can only
be given by a guru

to a monk who is in the process
of becoming his disciple.

Jinpa, however, will
make an exception,

since he considers me
a spiritual friend.

The mantra that
we're going to work together

He is the Buddha of compassion.

Compassion Buddha.

So, this mantra helps

us to enhance all
that compassions

to the universe.

So I am going to
give you the mantra,

so you can generate
motivation to yourself,

for the goodness of
all the living beings.

So, as I say the
mantra, you try to repeat.

Om...

Om.

-Mani...
-Mani.

-Padme...
-Padme.

-Hum.
-Hum.

So, you visualize
that on my crown

there's a Buddha of compassion.

So there's a radiance of
light sending towards you,

with this all good heart
in the form of light.

Okay?

So repeat for final time. Om...

-Om.
-Mani...

-Mani.
-Padme...

-Padme. Hum.
-Hum.

Om Mani padme hum.
Om Mani padme hum.

Om Mani padme hum.
Om Mani padme hum...

Om Mani padme hum.
Om Mani padme hum.

Om Mani padme hum.
Om Mani padme hum...

As I chant the mantra,

I am trying to see the light
dissolving into my body

and imagine it
filling me with love

and compassion.

Om Mani padme hum.
Om Mani padme hum.

Om Mani padme hum. Om Mani...

As we recite the
mantras togethers,

so you feel so much
compassion and love

generated within you,

then sending this all love

towards the all
the sentient being.

Secrecy isn't always a way to
protect a faith from outsiders.

It also provides in the faithful

a hunger for...

divine knowledge.

To learn a secret
mantra at Kopan,

a monk must study the methods of

Vajrayana Buddhism
for many years.

Some secrets are the
reward of a lifetime of work.

Shows how precious
enlightenment is.

As precious as a diamond.

Devotees of many faiths

make a lifelong quest
for divine knowledge,

but that knowledge is not
always deliberately withheld.

Sometimes, it is
hidden in plain sight.

In the south of France,

in the city of Carpentras,

there is an unassuming
building that houses

one of the oldest
synagogues in the country.

Journalist, Nelufar Hedayat,

has come here to
explore the secrets

of the mystical Jewish Kabbalah.

She is meeting scholar,
Julien Darmon.

Julien!

Absolute pleasure to see you.

-Pleased to meet you.
-How are you?

Delighted to meet you.

The pleasure's all mine.

Wow.

Indeed, huh?

It's not what I expected.

It's beautiful.

When we say Kabbalah,
what do we mean?

What is it that you study?

Kabbalah is the method
of plunging the depth

of the Torah, over every letter,

every word and they retrieve,

through combinations of letters,

secrets that tell us,

stories that happened
before the creation of time.

Can you show me?
I'd love to see this.

Of course I can show you.

So, this is the actual text
of the Torah, hand written.

This is the literal word of God.

This is the literal word of God.

So, where should we start?

Well, we should start
at the beginning

with the verse saying,

'In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the Earth.'

So the very first word

which we would
usually translate as

'at the beginning'

does not necessarily mean that.

It reads 'bereishit.'

Bereishit.

And literally it means
'at the beginning of.'

And Kabbalah says that
at the beginning of what?

Good question.

And there is a hint in
the way the word is written.

Bereishit.

So if you rearrange the letters,

bereishit...

can also be read,

'berit-esh'

which means 'covenant of fire.'

Ah, the covenant of fire.

That means first that this text

is not just information,

it's something that
binds you to God.

Another reading,

bereishit

has, at its root,
the word 'rosh'

which is, like in Arabic, ras,

which means the head.

Ras, yes.

So, what it alludes to,

is that before God

created the world by speaking,

he thought the world.

Why is it important
that God said

'the head' or thought
before he said the words?

We usually translate,
'In the beginning

God created the
heavens and the Earth.'

But in Hebrew, the order is

'In the beginning he created God

and the heavens and the Earth.'

We can read this
text as meaning that

the first thing
that God created,

was not the heavens and Earth,

but he created his own
manifestation to the world.

This is astonishing.

So I might as well have

an infinite number
of these parchments,

because that's how many
meanings there are here.

But, Julien, why would God

make it so difficult
to understand?

When you start reading
texts that way,

you become humble.

You say,

'I have to study and
study and study more'

and what I understand now

'is not the final
word of the Bible.'

To an outsider,

the endless decoding of Kabbalah
may seem like a fool's errand.

But I think it's more about the
journey than the destination.

Many religions are an attempt
to explain the infinite,

the universe in finite terms.

But, what better
way to give yourself

over to the mystery
of the eternal

than a quest with no end?

Secrecy can be part
of a faith's allure,

or surround a religion's birth,

or entice the believers to find
the pathway to enlightenment.

But sometimes,

a faith is forced
to hide underground.

Oh my.

And secrets can smear its name.

Below Rome's
cobblestone streets,

there is still evidence
of an ancient, secret sect,

one that was rumoured
to drink blood

and perform human sacrifice.

Religious scholar,
Bruce Chilton,

is taking me to a house

that was hidden under
a fourth century church

for 1500 years.

It's named after two
men, who were executed

for being part of
an illegal cult.

John and Paul...

were two young men,

who had worked in the family

of the Emperor Constantine.

They were ardent Christians.

In the year 361 a new
emperor came to power,

the Emperor Julian.

He decided,

I'm going to get rid of
this sect of Christians.

I'm going to treat
it as a superstition,

a cult...

and as a result of that,

John and Paul were beheaded

at Julian's order.

Bruce, are you
telling me that...

this place was buried under
the basilica for 1500 years?

It's all underneath the basilica

and you can see
this whole complex

was really quite high.

-Bruce.
-Yeah?

You're not getting
us lost, are you?

I hope I'm not getting us lost.

Oh, my.
Look at this.

These are the remains
of a house church

dating to the fourth century.

Here, wealthy Roman Christians

practised their faith in secret.

So a Christian family

could come here

and pray in private?

What you looked for
was a safe place,

where you could
gather with others

and go about your celebration
of Christ's presence

in the Eucharist.

The Eucharist,

a meal that remembered and
celebrated Jesus' last supper,

was the central part of
early Christian worship.

The sharing of
Jesus' body and blood

in the form of bread and wine

was their act of communion

with God and one another.

But some outsiders saw
it in a different light.

When you practice in secret,

especially in the Roman world,

you open yourself up
to the possibility

of all kinds of
rumours circulating.

-Rumours?
-Rumours.

Or course.

That Christians in
rooms like this one,

practised orgies.

That they drank the
blood of children.

In the imaginations
of the Romans,

Christians drank actual blood,

not the metaphorical
blood of Christ.

It was a libel
used to incite fear

and reprisal against
this upstart sect.

How do rumours like that
get started, I wonder?

They get started,
because the rumour,

what is now called
the Blood Libel,

is always very effective to
use against people you hate.

And if people you hate,

because they're concerned
about oppression,

practice in secrecy,

then that secrecy is
used against them.

Here's the question.

How safe was it?

Although the families
were wealthy,

and they protected Christians,

they also had to
use a kind of code

in their artwork

to support Christianity

without advertising
Christianity.

Just on this wall,

is a figure, she's a woman

called the Orante,

which means,

'the woman who prays.'

And you notice that she
has her hands outstretched?

Right.

We can't actually say whether
she is a Christian lady

or a pagan lady,

and I think that was
part of the point.

That the room could be
accessible to everyone,

but Christians would
find a safe home here,

where they could worship.

I see.

This code may have helped
ordinary Christians

blend in with their
pagan neighbours,

but it did not help prominent
Christians like John and Paul.

We're now in the
special installation

for the martyrs,
John and Paul.

We can't prove

that they were buried here,

but we do know

that since the fourth century,

this has been used as the place,

where they were venerated.

Christianity obviously
got past this period.

How?

The Emperor Julian
led the Roman army in battle

against the Persians,

but he was killed.

Oh, oh.

His place was taken
by the Emperor Jovans,

and Jovans decided,
I'm going back,

not only to tolerate
Christianity,

but even to prefer Christianity.

It's hard to believe that

Christianity was once
a small, secret faith,

practised in the shadows.

But secrecy actually gave
Christianity strength.

Its followers venerated
Jesus, who died opposing Rome.

Oppression only
fed the movement.

And once it was set free,

it travelled to every
corner of the globe.

Hmm.

Christianity...

flourished after a few
centuries of Roman suppression,

but other faiths weren't
as quick to recover.

There is one that, only now,

is coming back into the light.

On the eve of
the Winter Solstice,

journalist Sal Masekela

is travelling to the English
village of Stanton Drew.

He's come to witness
a celebration

that was banned for
almost two millennia.

-Hello.
-Hello!

How are you, sir?
Nice to meet you, sir.

It's lovely to meet you.

First thing I see is that this
pub is called the Druid's Arms.

Do the Druids
have their own pub?

Alas, no.

But there's some
interesting stuff to see.

Alright.

Please come.

Ronald Hutton is an expert

in the pre-Christian
religions of the British Isles.

We're really not having a beer?

-Alas, no.
-Alright.

Wow.

You just walked back around

five and a half thousand years

to the New Stone Age.

That's why this village is
called Stanton, Stone Town.

There are just ancient,
huge stones everywhere.

What does the Druid
belief system...

look like? How would
you explain it?

Druids essentially
hold the Earth itself,

the natural world, to be sacred.

So they have a profound
relationship with the land itself.

What happened to the ancient
practice that it went away?

The Romans came and
conquered most of Britain

and they suppressed the
practice of Druidry.

Then along came Christianity

and suppressed it in turn.

And it was dormant
for about 1000 years.

But as the power of the church
waned in the 18th century,

the enigmatic stone circles here
and across the British Isles,

began to draw people
back to Druidism,

to revive an extinct religion.

What about the principles
of Druidry, do you think,

made it something that
people got curious about

and wanted to revive?

Because Druidry provides
one way of reconnecting

modern people with things from
which they often feel cut off.

From the land and
the natural world,

from the past,

especially the remote past.

It gives them roots.

And just as
Stonehenge comes into

alignment with the rising
sun on the Winter Solstice,

modern Druids across the country
are preparing to celebrate

the rebirth of the sun,

including here in Stanton Drew.

Sal, may I introduce you
to my two druid friends,

Adrien and JJ.

Hi, JJ. I'm Sal.
Nice to meet you.

Lovely to meet you, Sal.

What's the significance
of the mistletoe?

Obviously, during the
Christmas holiday,

you know, kissing
under the mistletoe.

What does it mean in
the Druid culture?

I think the clue is in, the
Druid term for it is 'all heal'

and I think, traditionally,

our ancestors
understood the power

and the wisdom
inherent in this plant.

Because it sits
between heaven and earth.

It never touches the ground.

And how will it be used
in the ceremony tomorrow?

We honour the mistletoe
and then we offer it

to the earth.

It's fertilizing the earth.

So, the getting
of the mistletoe,

what do we need to do?

So it's not about just
coming and taking and going.

It's about this
tree will gift us

the mistletoe,

the mistletoe will then
gift people that hope.

It's been a long, hard winter,

you know, so it's
all gonna change!

The sun's only round the corner!

We can do this!
We can do this!

It's coming!
It's not far away now.

Now bless this tree,

symbolic of all the
trees in this orchard,

with the element of fire.

-You gonna go first?
-Yeah.

You go up.

Chuck it out. Oi!
Got it, great.

Hey, well done.

So the trick is not
to let it hit the ground.

Why is that?

Because, once it
hits the ground,

the fertility goes
into the earth.

Right.

Yeah, so the healing power,

its potency is contained

in the fact it's never
touched the ground.

The other thing about it is,

you notice that in
the depths of winter,

this is still green and berried.

This is still fertile,

it's still vibrant,
it's at its height.

Yeah.

It's almost as if Druidry was like
the original environmentalism.

I think it is very much
so, from where we come from.

It's at the heart.

Instead of man being
separate from nature,

everything is connected.

Well, thank you.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

It's an hour before dawn,

on the shortest day of the year.

Around 200 Druids assemble

at Stanton Drew's 5,000
year old stone circle,

rekindling a ceremony that
must have taken place,

thousands of times before.

As we gather as we always do,

in love and light,

to honour the
birth of the Mabon,

the new Sun king,

who will be seen to be moving
back across these heavens,

bestowing new
life upon the lands.

As the sun creeps
toward the horizon,

there's a sense
here, that Druidry

is finally making its
way out of the shadows.

Across the world,

20,000 people have joined
the Druid movement,

driven by a need to
reconnect with the Earth,

and the numbers are growing.

I am the spirit of mistletoe.

Mistletoe is the
sperm of the gods,

impregnating the Earth

to bring forth

fresh life in abundance.

I bring healing and protection,

for the body

and for the spirit

and life

renewed for the Earth.

The Sun stands still,

so let's give a rousing cheer

for the returning Sun god.

Yeah!

Yeah!

I'm always in awe

of the richness of
the world around me.

I can't help but marvel

at how all of this came to be.

Well,

if there were no
mystery to life,

there would be no
need for faith,

no room for divine secrets.

The promise of access to those
secrets inspire religions,

encourages people to dig
deeper into their faith.

Secrets protect believers
in times of oppression

and keep them alive,

until their message can
take root in fertile ground.

We can never expect to
know the mind of God,

but we can work

to get closer to it.
