the link is to a lecture given by Robert Bauval, author etc. well known for work on ancient Egypt monuments and their meaning. From the viewpoint of true energy cultivation this is just his commentary on certain worldly conflicts and he says so up front. It highlights the limits of worldly man made religions but does attempt to provide some understanding of the history leading to current events. Endless commentary from media outlets asking why such hate etc – this lecture attempts to give the background. Just providing a link in case anyone interested. He does have a book to sell on the topic co authored with Graham Hancock.
Taoist Hua-Ching Ni book on the I ching “The Book of Changes and the unchanging truth” contains much discussion on the distortions of world religions contrasted with Taoist cultivation methods.
