Answer 1

Fox Mulder will return for another season of X-files to answer all your lingering "out-there" questions.

Answer 2

Well, I'm a witch - so I believe in magic. Having said that, I don't really "believe" in it any more than I "believe" in this chair. I'm sitting on it, therefore I accept that it exists. Same with magic - I've seen it and used it, and even been used by it. No belief involved.

And yes, I've been demonised for it in the past - I've been discriminated against and have lost work because of it, and I don't dress differently or wear big jewellery or anything. Things have got better since I stopped using the W word though - "pagan" is considered mildly eccentric in the UK now but nothing more in most places. Some elements of the Christian Right are very threatened still and rant on about the devil and so forth, and it's all utter rot.

And that book - it's lightweight stuff, but Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a silly, funny way to ease into the whole thing.

Answer 3

When I was a child I was ridiculed for believing that we directly affect our environment by our beliefs or what we think... I thought of it as magic at first, later as consciously and subconsciously manipulating the energy that everything is made up of. Now, it is a fairly acceptable concept that researchers' attitudes and expectations can and do affect the results of highly controlled situations, even those that 'should' have identical outcomes, regardless the opinions of those conducting the procedure.

These days, I believe that just about anything has the possibility or potential to be true... with a healthy dose of skepticism, of course. I have just seen and experienced too much that is unbelievable by normal standards to think in 'black and white' any longer (if I ever did). Science has even begun to accept that nothing is what it seems.

I don't really think it is 'hoarding the knowledge for themselves' necessarily. Some types of knowledge can be extremely dangerous in un-evolved hands. Without the ethics to use it wisely and humanely, greatly advanced knowledge of most kinds would only become another weapon. The old 'secret societies' were probably set up to protect and carry knowledge through the falls of civilizations and the chaos and barbarism that followed as intact as possible, waiting for a time when it could be reintroduced a bit at a time safely.

Answer 4

I host a show called "Controversial Issues." When I am finished, I answer questions for one hour--this relaxes my brain. There was a very good writer (now past) named Edgar Cayce. I read all his books. As a diver, I discovered steps protruding from a Caribbean island. I found underground caves on two others. I thought: perhaps the Caribbean was once part and parcel of a bigger and older landmass. Next, I found a huge head similar to the ones on Easter Island.
A resident archeologist and I used to argue every time I visited his island for a yachting regatta. Last year he told me: I have been finding evidence that supports your theories. "Why does he have to whisper to tell me those things?" The community that funds projects must maintain the status quo. Think of this: the world's largest libraries and institutions of learning have been burned and destroyed. One writer (listed below)* travels the world sharing his interpretation of "primitive art" --language of survivors of a global catastrophe (mislabeled as primitive art). I am going to list some publications. You click on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Paddyfield, Indigo Books, Fishpond Books N.Z and search inside.
1) They Came Before Columbus by Ivan Van Certima.
2) The Golden Fleece Found by Basil Hill.*
3). Vanquished Library by Luciano Canfora
4. The Bible Codes by Michael Drosnin.

Anyone can have theories. Look for books that break codes that decipher shards--the new Rosetta Stones. The main stream media won't publicize such--those are what reveal gems.
Boaz.

Answer 5

The most out there theory which is backed by amazing evidence is a theory based on the information produced by the ancient summerians about 30 - 40 thousand years ago. They spoke of higher beings walking this earth and mining the planet for gold and silver. They came from another planet [scientists call planet X]. According to the summerian clay tablets these beings or Ananuki live for very long periods and can raise the dead.

Apperantly in the early stages of our universes' evolution there planet came to close to ours and as such cuased the collision of 2 large planets. The result of this was earth and the moon.

This is the heaviest part: According to the summerians the Ananuki took the primitive man [Homo habilus] and gentically altered his DNA to create the modern looking man in order to help them mine the gold. Apperantly the OLD Testament in the Bible recordes the events of this genetic splicing and the labour man endured. Think Moses.... thats all im gonna say.

This theory is revoltionary: "Slave species of God" Check it out.

Answer 6

I believe that the most out there theory is that REALITY exists.... Humans have found ways to explain anything and everything, not all of them seem feasible but they all have their subscribers... Same with reality, although most people seem to not believe in it. Therefore we have created "Reality" TV, Movies, explaining reality, documentaries on reality. It used to be that the scariest thing out there was the unknown.... Maybe that's why people wish to discover reality so that it becomes less threatening... I can believe that the government may have a hand in exploiting re ality shows. It deludes people. People become overly exposed to aggression, competition, bullying, and plain nastiness. While people are so exposed, it's like scratching an itch, eventually the nerves becomes numb and deadened. The news is no longer sensational, or dramatic. It's now normal. Normal for people to go out and kill each other over a drumstick... Possibly the tragedies of war, or violence inflicted upon people by government officials goes unrecognized simply because it now blends into the violence that people consider reality.

Answer 7

Probably the Arthur legends. I don't think they wore shining armor and lived in beautiful stone castles, but an author wrote a series of books that was intriguing (Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and The Holy Grail). She had PhDs in Celtic, Old French, and Latin. She didn't just read the old stories, she translated the names and words, then went across England trying to find sites that could match sites in the legends. For example, Lancelot was the name used in the stories in Old French. L'Ancelot (The Ancelot) translates to Anguselsus in Latin, or Angus in Celtic. Also, she reasoned that the battle sites would be big fields, and she knew that a man on horseback could only travel so far per day, so she followed how many days apart the battles were, and traveled that distance per day--she found fields about the right distance apart each time.

Answer 8

Woo-hoo! There IS an amazing variety of crazy BS out there. I try to stay away from the kookie stuff. But I do subscribe to a theory/belief that is shocking and unbelievable to most people. And that is that nothing in the universe is "created" or controlled by a supreme being. The big bang happened 16 billion years ago, and the result is an unthinkable amount of debris. We exist on a small rock on the edge of a galaxy cluster of debris. So none of it has any meaning, except what you want to give it. Personally, I choose to be charmed by nature and the beauty it presents us. I choose to value it and conserve it. I choose to honor relationships. But my worldview - which is not contradicted by science - is really "out there" to many people.

Answer 9

I believe that my stuffed Felix the Cat has feelings on some level even if they are very small. I figure that since, ultimately, he's made up of the same matter as I am, he must have some ability to have reaction to what is happening around him. I think some theories of physics could support my belief.

Nope. No "stuffed animals are alive but we don't want the average joe to know it" conspiracy here.

Answer 10

The most way out theory i subscibe to is the Buddhist idea of karma, reincarnation and the Taoist elements of harmony.
This is in no way "out there" til i put me in context for ya.
I live in a lil town in Catholic Ireland where to be different is not to HAVE alien beliefs but to BE an alien, where its wierd enough to be protestant, never mind NOT even Christian. Yep, i am an alien heathen pagan blasphemer according to some of the friendly folks here. YAY!!

Answer 11

I believe in extraterrestrial life, reicarnation and Bigfoot. Oh yeah, and the Loch Ness Monster, the UAE cave monster, and Oingopoingo or whatever his name is in Canada.
I also believe that Einstein was right when he said that we will be able to capture images from our past, since everything is energy and that energy has to go somewhere so, we will someday learn how to harness it and view anything we want to from the birth of Christ to the sinking of the Titanic, etc.

No. I don't think they're hoarding knowledge. There are just some mysteries left to solve in this world.
