THE SUPERNATURAL - Enigmas and Mysteries

… Imagine a book of unexplained mysteries written by a contemporary of Shakespeare.  It might include the mystery of the falling stars that sweep through the sky foretelling disaster; the mystery of the Kraken, the giant sea devil with 50-foot tentacles; the mystery of the monster bones, sometimes found in caves or on beaches. Such a book would be a curious mixture of truth and absurdity, fact and legend.  We would feel superior as we turned the pages and murmured: “Of corse, they didn’t know about comets and giant squids and dinosaurs.”  If this book happens to find its way into the hands of our remote descendants, they may smile pityingly and say: “Its incredible to think that they knew nothing about epsilon fields or multiple psychic feedback or cross gravitational energies.  They didn’t even know about the ineluctability of time.”  But let us hope that such a descendant is in a charitable mood, and might add: “And yet they managed to ask a few of the right questions.”
