I have changed the context of the podcast to explore high strange experiences This episode starts that exploration by reading the preface that did not get into my e-book "Truthful Tall Tales." In editing, it was suggested that I take it out. In the book, I recount high strange events and experiences in my life. Here is an excerpt:
"We have been taught that we are born and live, until the day we leave into a mysterious darkness. We learn that the world is ordered, and where it is not, we must attempt to make it so in our minds. We learn that we can be assured that those who rule have our best interest at heart; that the world is fair; that everything is known, or will be known, and that there is, or will be, a scientific or religious narrative that explains everything. Every intelligent, enlightened person knows better than to believe in magic, demons, ghosts, or hidden creatures."
