The guys have often said that when one age ends and another begins, we reconstruct our view of reality – of what is possible and what is not – by picking and choosing. Some things we were raised to believe, we continue to believe. Other things, we discard. Some things we were raised to dis-believe, we come to see the sense of, and others, of course, we continue to disbelieve.
Case in point, the new Netflix series “The Unexplained,” featuring William Shatner as his most irritatingly dramatic. The thing is, though, the subjects being explored can’t be brushed aside as obviously woo-woo nonsense. Shatner’s melodramatic delivery aside, the producers have put together very interesting commentary from experts in various fields. (True, some of the experts may not be all that expert, but in the three episodes I have watched, none has been obviously loony, and some have been impressive.)
The episode on “Mysterious structures” concentrates on three places that interest me: the pyramids at Giza, the circular staircase at Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, and the Coral Castle in Florida.
“The Oak Island Curse” provides fascinating information on a puzzle that has been being probed for about 13 decades now, a puzzle that goes back nobody knows how far. As I say, fascinating. You know that some of what you’re hearing must be nonsense, but the disquieting thing is, you can’t say for sure which part.
In fact, watching the episodes has given me a funny feeling. I get a sense of what we must look like to some people. We’re talking about what we have experienced, and what we deduce or suspect from those experiences, so to us, it’s all straight-forward. But to those who don’t know anything about it, do we look like crazies?
Particularly, given that we don’t know?
Stay tuned.
I have only caught a couple episodes. Prophecy and another one. Shatner’s overly dramatic narration doesn’t irritate me so much as it makes me laugh. Every time the camera zooms in on his face and he raises his eyebrows in what he would have us believe is deep speculation I can’t help but crack up.
My partner can’t stand him though so I have to watch when he’s out of the house or in the shop.
I’ll have to be sure to check out this episode so I’ll have a better idea of what you’re talking about.
I just came through so really heavy shadow work and am eager to start looking at things again with fresher eyes.
Thanks for keeping up with this blog. I’ve found it an enormous comfort. ❤️
If you would ever care to write a bit about the shadow work you were doing, I’d be glad to post it here as a guest post.
Frank,
One can be assured that we do ‘look like crazies’ to those who don’t know.
And I do know … that “All is well, all is very well.” I see/understand that guidance and I will ‘sort it out’ by living it, working at it, paying attention, and being grateful for the chance. My feeling: everyone should be so crazy!

Like the old joke: “Just lucky, I guess.”

You might enjoy the “It Happened To Me” books, which are compilations of the Fortean Times column of the same name.
If it ever seems germane to your discussion, I’d love if you could ask the guys about the Mysteries of Eleusis (or just the mystery religions in general). What exactly went on there?
PS. Love your blog, it’s become my morning newspaper of sorts (when available – please don’t interpret that as any demand to adhere to a schedule!)
