00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,680
He said but his cats on you to success when you look at Thai culture in particular within the context of

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,560
Asian cultures in general the cat is being lucky the cat is seen as indicating

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:21,840
Prosperity the potential to make money the potential to do good in business or marriage or whatever endeavor somebody starts

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,460
Fett has what the Thai call a diamond eye actually a rare form of feline glaucoma a

5
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:36,360
Diamond eye is considered lucky so to increase his prosperity Fett's owner found another cat with the same condition and spent

6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,600
$28,000 to unite the lucky cats in matrimony. There's probably a foundation in Thai culture to say the yes cats are lucky and cats are good for business

7
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:51,400
So it's not surprising that somebody would have a big party in wedding for two cats that they think helped their business

8
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:59,020
Diamond eye is a curable condition and Fett's owner has promised to treat the condition now that the wedding has taken place

9
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,220
We'll have more stories in the news next time now. Here's what's coming up as sightings continues

10
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,680
What could be the source of these intelligent balls of light the pilots have reported seeing for 50 years

11
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:23,240
There's a possibility that two fighters still are guided and controlled created by an advanced intelligence not of this planet

12
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,800
It's changing color and you know what that means you were right

13
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:37,720
We've got hard water if your soap won't lather well and your skin feels dry

14
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,240
You might have hard water and then you need zest soap leaves a drying film behind

15
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,520
But even in hard water zest princess clean away for cleaner smoother skin

16
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,280
And for an incredible feeling of clean try zest body wash

17
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Long before Gina started thinking about pink or blue she was thinking orange

18
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
100% pure Florida orange juice

19
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,480
Because thanks to the March of Dimes she knew the folic acid and orange juice may help reduce the risk of certain birth defects

20
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
So before you start thinking about having a baby

21
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,320
Think 100% pure Florida orange juice. Are you drinking enough?

22
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,120
That's my nephew scruff reading that comic book improving my mind your magic zapper and I'll improve your mind

Professional pilots both commercial and military do see UFOs

35
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,120
But the culture of silence within their ranks means the public almost never hears about it

36
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,160
There was a time though not long ago when pilots who saw UFOs did talk to anyone who would listen

37
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,840
They were the fighter pilots and gunners of World War two and they saw a lot of very strange things up there

38
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,840
The

39
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,560
World War two was the first great air war

40
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Weapons of mass destruction were airborne and technology was moving forward at an unprecedented rate

41
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,160
Axis and allied powers were constantly on alert for the latest secret weapon

42
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,720
Germany had the V1 rocket

43
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,920
England had advanced radar an unblinking eye in the sky and

44
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,160
America was hard at work developing the ultimate weapon the atomic bomb

45
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,760
And says research scientist Richard Haynes the belief that the other side could have developed just about anything

46
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,360
May have concealed the largest mass UFO sighting in history

47
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,320
There were sailors on ships

48
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:32,920
There were GIs on the ground in artillery battalions. There were German soldiers on the other side of the line people from all

49
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Sides of the war were involved

50
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,120
And reported the same thing pilots described them as seemingly guided balls of light

51
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,800
Bob Leroy a member of the 11th airborne in New Guinea

52
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,640
remembers his first sighting of the mysterious craft suddenly I saw this ball about this size

53
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,520
That that's thing there about three feet in diameter

54
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,120
following this Japanese Betty bomber and

55
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,000
It started changing colors. I thought I'd seen a new secret weapon

56
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,680
I had to agree with the rest the guys because that's what they all thought it was they didn't know any better and

57
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,240
Nobody had ever heard of a UFO in 44

58
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,600
They were spotted around the world and became known as Foo Fighters from the French word for fire

59
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:25,360
According to Haynes who has investigated hundreds of newspaper and eyewitness accounts the descriptions of the Foo Fighters are disturbingly alike

60
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,160
Pilots would report

61
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:34,000
Glowing luminous balls of light that would come up from the ground often orange or red

62
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,160
Anywhere from one foot to six feet in diameter

63
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,160
Would accelerate up to their altitude and then level off very quickly and then stay beside the airplane

64
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:49,960
They would fly either singly or in pairs or in trio or four objects

65
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,840
oftentimes in rigid formation which is important and

66
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,640
All of these flight dynamics point

67
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,320
In one way or another to a fairly high intelligent level of guidance

68
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,480
Robert May was the tail gunner on a B24 for the last two years of World War two

69
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,160
He vividly recalls a dangerous top secret mission to drop guns and ammunition behind German lines

70
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,360
But it wasn't the nature of the mission that has stayed with Robert for more than a half century

71
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
It's what he saw

72
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,040
I spied something out there was kind of bright

73
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Didn't know if it was an aircraft or what it was. I'd say it was probably

74
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:37,040
Traveling at a fairly decent speed maybe 200 miles an hour and 300 miles an hour and it was coming toward us

75
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,040
But it was coming in a bright light

76
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080
That's what made it so odd

77
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,360
That we could not identify if we all knew exactly whatever whatever

78
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Enemy aircrafts that we knew what it was. We could very easy because that's one of the things we were in real quick like

79
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:58,760
The allies thought it was the Nazis the Nazis that it was the allies then the fireball showed up in Japan and here from the

80
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:04,400
November 1944 issue of the New York Times is a very interesting case of a B29

81
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,760
flying over Japan

82
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,440
And the flight crew saw several food fighters

83
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Intelligence services for both Allied and Axis forces were hard at work trying to figure out where the food fighters were coming from

84
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,200
Says Mark Bird salt of UFO magazine British intelligence

85
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Was interested as well

86
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Dave release reports they tried very very hard to put a category on it to classify it as a night fighter or an enemy bomber or something

87
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Other than that, but it proved useless. They couldn't do it

88
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,200
To this day no one has figured out what they were or who made them

89
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:50,040
I don't think there's any way that in 1943 or 44 or 45

90
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,560
terrestrial technology was advanced enough to

91
00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:01,800
Produce the kind of flight dynamics the containment of energy the luminous output for as long as we're talking about here

92
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,800
And food fighters did not go away when World War II entered

93
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:13,120
Military pilots reported seeing them during the Korean War and were it not for the code of silence of modern-day pilots

94
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,280
There might be continuing reports today

95
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,120
Take the case of this former Soviet fighter pilot who claims to have had an encounter with a food fighter

96
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Again the altitude of

97
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,640
3900 meters and I so

98
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,760
Ball in front of me about 20 degrees to the right

99
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,840
In 1991 Maxine Trabokov was at the top of his class

100
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,760
Fast on his way to becoming Russia's top gun

101
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:47,200
Then on a training flight Trabokov said that he was chased by an aggressive UFO that sent his plane into a nose dive

102
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,560
my

103
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:53,760
Altitude began to drop rapidly I had to pull the plane out of the nose dive

104
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,440
At the altitude of thousand meters. I finally cleared the residential area and I

105
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,680
Objected four seconds later the plane exploded

106
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,200
Trabokov's admission that he had seen a fireball under intelligent control

107
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,720
Cost him his career for pilots around the world

108
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,320
This only strengthened their resolve to keep the code of silence as a result

109
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,960
We are no closer to solving the food fighter mystery than we were 50 years ago. There's a possibility that food fighters

110
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,920
Could have been or could or still are

111
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Guided and controlled created produced by an advanced intelligence not of this planet

112
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,960
But that is a difficult

113
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,160
Thing to prove clearly

114
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:46,800
I'd like to simply let the evidence speak for itself and to continue to do research on the subject and then simply let the chips fall where they

115
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,120
It's important to remember that in the heyday of the food fighter the term flying saucer

116
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,760
Hadn't been invented yet

117
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:01,160
So pilots didn't have a standard by which to measure their encounters in fact the government panel that studied food fighters in

118
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,800
1953 said quote if the term flying saucer had been popular in 1943 these objects would have been so labeled

119
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:17,080
Next messages of hope and help from beyond the grave was almost like they glowed and he had his armor on her and he just said

120
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,080
I've got her now, baby, and she's okay

121

If you believe in angels you're not alone

138
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:17,040
According to Gallup poll more than half of all Americans do believe in angels a lot of people believe that these angels are deceased

139
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,800
relatives of mother father or sister and there are many incredible stories of people who have been saved by the

140
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Whispers from a loved one from beyond the grave

141
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,400
My herd of boys say to me go outside and check the swing pool

142
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,720
Our youngest son was only 21 months old

143
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,160
Jonathan was

144
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,440
Floating in the deep end of the pool face up but under the water eyes wide open

145
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,520
And I quickly ran to the side of the pool and screeched out Judy's name and I jumped in the pool and pushed it to the side

146
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Fortunately, I pulled this huskily crying child out of the pool who didn't require any resuscitation and Bill and I just

147
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,320
wrapped him in our arms and

148
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,880
Then later bill was able to tell me the story as we come down

149
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240
I don't know if you're gonna believe this

150
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,920
But the only reason I went out to check the pool

151
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,760
Was because I heard the voice of my father say go check the pool and

152
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,880
His father had died thirty three years earlier

153
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:34,480
Both Judy and Bill Guggenheim now say that it wasn't just a coincidence or a fluke memory that called bill to the pool

154
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,480
It was a communication from the grave bill was eight years old

155
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,120
And yet he came back to save his youngest grandson

156
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Who is now 18 years old?

157
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Bill and Judy have learned that what bill experienced has a name after death communication or ABC?

158
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,960
ABC is when someone is contacted directly and spontaneously by a loved one who has died

159
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,160
That is the one who's made their transition

160
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,400
Chooses when and where and how to contact the person who's still physically alive

161
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:13,480
After their son's miraculous rescue the Guggenheims interviewed more than two thousand people who had been touched by ABC and

162
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,080
Put their stories in this book. So based upon our after death communication research

163
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,460
We can serve we estimate to at least

164
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,040
50 million Americans have had one or more ABC experiences

165
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,920
Pam Strickland and Susan Marshall are among those who have been touched by after death communication

166
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,000
I don't want to say it frightened me, but it just this was something that was way beyond it any of us

167
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Of all the friends I had it's the only one I ever

168
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Stayed in contact with of all these years. She's my my best friend in the world

169
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,400
I feel like she's my sister and

170
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,960
That friendship moved to an even deeper level after they shared an ABC experience

171
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:59,400
My mother had been terminally ill with cancer and Susan and I had decided that after my mother had passed away

172
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,680
After I took care of some details that I was going to come and stay with her and her family up here

173
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,800
I loved her mother. I knew her mother very well and and Ruth meant a lot to me. We were very close

174
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:20,200
There was a great deal of love there. She was very protective extremely protective of me and very very nurturing toward me as well

175
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:27,640
It was one afternoon in 1992 when Pam found out how strong her mother's love could be from beyond the grave

176
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,320
I was

177
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Leaving the house to go get some groceries

178
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,920
Susan had just gone in to take her two and a half year old son Eric to the back part of the house to give him a bath and

179
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,640
She had laid Sammy her six-month-old daughter down for a nap

180
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,000
And just as I started to open the front door. I heard my mother's voice say you need to check the baby

181
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,600
She doesn't sound right and my my immediate reaction was

182
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,860
You're hearing things and I ignored it

183
00:16:55,860 --> 00:16:56,720
I

184
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Started to walk out the door again got a few steps out the front door and this time I heard in a very stern clear voice

185
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,040
Pamela you need to check the baby. She doesn't sound right. I

186
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:16,240
Turned around peaked into the door into Sammy's room and I looked into the crib and her whole head and face were completely

187
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Covered I picked Sammy up her face was almost like a gray color

188
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,640
She at that point let out a big deep gas for air

189
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,160
And that's what I realized something special had happened

190
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Both Pam and Susan are convinced Samantha is here today because of ADC

191
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,240
It was her voice that she heard and I believe that we'd said that to her daughter

192
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
for my daughter

193
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,680
That's why she's here today. I

194
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Would have to say that most of the people that I see report an ADC experience in one form or another

195
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:56,760
Dr. Kathleen Moore is a certified bereavement counselor in Orlando, Florida

196
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,760
The study of ADC is exciting

197
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:05,160
because we all face the experience of bereavement at one point or another in our lives and

198
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,640
Since so many people report this as an experience

199
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,680
It gives us another way to look at it and perhaps another way to help that person through the experience

200
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,760
Mainstream science explains away after death communication as grief-induced hallucination

201
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,800
But researchers asked what about the cases where the ADC occurs before the death of a loved one is known

202
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:35,280
There is no explanation that I can find of how somebody could have an experience first and then learn of the death afterwards and

203
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,520
Still call that a grief-induced hallucination because they're not a bereaved when they have the experience

204
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,640
That was the case for Joanne Freeman who was awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call about her daughter Kim

205
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,920
when I answered the phone it was the

206
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,680
Dispatch office at the police department and they were telling me to answer the door and so I

207
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Was coming out of my bedroom when all of a sudden I saw this

208
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,560
Vision of Kimmy and her grandfather who is deceased

209
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,600
They were like in a fog and Kim was standing there right next to him just

210
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Smiling as pretty as anything. It was almost like they glowed, you know, they were just they were perfect

211
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,560
And they both just looked very peaceful happy and he had his arm ronder

212
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,760
And he just said I've got her now baby, and she's okay

213
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,240
It seemed like when I blinked and

214
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:35,200
I kind of shook my head because I was just amazed that I would see this

215
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,760
When I open my eyes back it was gone

216
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:44,040
so that's when I came on down into the living room and into the door and the police were there and

217
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,840
they were informing me that Kim had been in an accident and

218
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,040
She was killed

219
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:58,440
Although nothing can ever erase the pain of Kimmy's loss the ADC experience helped Joanne come to terms with her grief

220
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,640
I think seeing Kimmy like I did

221
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:04,640
I think it has helped me

222
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,600
and maybe

223
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,600
that was

224
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,760
God's way of telling me, you know

225
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:18,000
Here she is, you know, you will get to see her one more time and he let her tell me, you know, mom

226
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,480
I'm okay. I don't know why it happened, but I know it happened to me and

227
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,560
You know, so I will treasure it, you know as long as I live I will always treasure that

228
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,280
She will always be a part of my heart. She will always be a part of me

229
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,480
You can't do this work without becoming emotional and involved in it

230
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:44,280
The pay counselor gets too moving too sensitive and too real to question that they might be anything but actual contacts

231
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,280
But it's these loved ones

232
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,960
Many researchers believe these spiritual encounters are simply a spontaneous memory of what a loved one would have said had they been there

233
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:04,040
But those who have had an ADC encounter insist that they've been contacted by a force that science will probably never understand

234
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:11,160
Next as the third millennium approaches will be find spiritual enlightenment people are looking for greater opportunity

235
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,000
To link themselves to something bigger than themselves

236
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760
Okay guys go out for lunch, you know the rules

237
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960
Oh

238
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,600
And scooter

239
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Ericsson mobile phones, that's the power of voice

New Alka Seltzer plus

243
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,040
There's a new classic sandwich stacker cut bigger and thicker for your biggest sandwiches

From classic bigger pickle taste bigger pickle crunch

246
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,240
The year 2000 may be just a number

247
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,560
But all those zeros seem to be inspiring people to make predictions think about the future and

248
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Contemplate the meaning of life and mortality

249
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,440
Combine the coming millennium with 70 million baby boomers all of whom have reached middle age

250
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:43,680
And you've discovered why the search for enlightenment is big news and big business

251
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,680
I think spirituality is really one of the hot topics today

252
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,200
And I think as we approach a new millennium

253
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,520
People are now drawn toward the hope that there's more to life

254
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:06,280
And there's a possibility of putting life together in a way that is more creative and more satisfying to the human spirit

255
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,760
than ever before

256
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:16,760
Religion sociologist Wade Clark calls it the quest culture a generation of seekers with an endless thirst for knowledge

257
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,960
about the mysteries of existence

258
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,960
His research inspired Ruth to write a book about these lost baby boomers

259
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,960
I think there's a quest for meaning

260
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,960
There's a quest for sense of understanding about life

261
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,960
And more than just that there's a quest for greater connectedness

262
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,960
People are lonely

263
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,960
People are looking for greater opportunity to link themselves to something bigger than themselves

264
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,960
There's a tremendous hunger in America for spirituality

265
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Since 1977, Elizabeth Lesser has been feeding this spiritual hunger at the Omega Institute

266
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,960
The retreat provides eclectic workshops for people in search of meaning

267
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Our culture was dominated by rationalism, science

268
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,960
There was a whole movement to take anything religious out of schools

269
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:14,960
And there, of course, has been the whole materialism that's dominated the later part of the 20th century

270
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,000
So there's a great hunger in people for something of meaning in their lives

271
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Places like Omega didn't create it

272
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
We grew up in response to a need

273
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
People are trying to grow

274
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000
They're trying to find new insight

275
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Ancient wisdom

276
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Nice! Good, again!

277
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
First of all, people have more choices than ever

278
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Some people have returned to traditional evangelical faiths

279
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Many, of course, have looked to so-called New Age religions

280
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,040
Choice now means that one can pick and choose

281
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,040
I call it the new American spirituality

282
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,040
You can be a spiritual person without belonging to any kind of church

283
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,040
You can do Buddhist meditation and go on a Christian retreat

284
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,040
And celebrate the high holy days

285
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:11,040
And build your own path, a patchwork of the great wisdom traditions

286
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:17,080
The search for meaning outside of the mainstream led Bill Elliott down a surprisingly traditional path

287
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:23,080
Haunted by the death of his parents as a small boy, Bill had been plagued by depression and anger

288
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,080
Until he decided to seek out the world's great thinkers

289
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,080
And ask them to explain the meaning of life

290
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,080
I thought that's what I'll do, I'll get to 20 wisest people and put them in one book

291
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,080
And ask them maybe 20 questions about life

292
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,080
The questions most of us want to know about things

293
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,120
Bill wasn't a professional writer, just a man in search of answers

294
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:46,120
So he borrowed a typewriter and sat down with a stack of paper

295
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:50,120
And a sincere resolve to find humankind's place in the cosmos

296
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:54,120
I typed up this letter and then I typed in the name at the top and it looked really bad

297
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:59,120
So I sent out all these letters and my friends, a lot of them said, Bill, you know, it's not going to work

298
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,120
And I, you know, I thought, well, maybe not

299
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,120
And they said, no, you know, Bill, you're nobody

300
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,160
Amazingly, though Bill had no credentials, his heartfelt persistence paid off

301
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,160
Some of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century agreed to meet him

302
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,160
And share their insights about the meaning of life and death

303
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:26,160
When I interviewed Norman Vincent Peel, he said that he believes that there's a reason why we're each born

304
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,160
And that we each have a purpose

305
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,160
And I believe a person can, at all, come close to finding what their purpose of life is

306
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,200
I think it will change all their life

307
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:43,200
People are searching in many places to try to come to terms with their ordinary lives

308
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:51,200
And that spirituality in the final analysis is something very, very human

309
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,200
It's everyday life made meaningful

310
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,200
And that's what all of us want

311
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,200
To make some sense out of our everyday lives

312
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:07,240
So that when you get up in the morning and look in the mirror, you have some motivation for the rest of the day

313
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,240
It was Bill's overwhelming sadness about the untimely death of his parents

314
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,240
That led him to seek out Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama

315
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:21,240
At one time I thought to be enlightened and to be really wise meant that I would never be sad again

316
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,240
That I'd be beyond being sad or beyond suffering

317
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,280
So when I asked him, is there anything that makes him sad in your life?

318
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,280
And he said, I'm a man who's lost my country

319
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,280
And he talked about all the suffering that's happened to about all the people being killed

320
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,280
And he was very sad

321
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:43,280
For some reason that helped free me because I realized that, boy, here there's this person considered very wise by a lot of people

322
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:44,280
And he's still sad

323
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,280
Oh, well, I guess it's okay to be sad

324
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:53,280
The words of wisdom that Bill has gathered from around the world are in Tying Rocks to Clowns

325
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,320
A book that Bill hopes will provide solace in the coming millennium

326
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:03,320
The deepest wish I had for my book was that it would help people in their life

327
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,320
Because I know what it's like to be lost

328
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:11,320
So many people have come to realize that they need something deeper within themselves

329
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,320
Let's call it soul, let's call it spirit

330
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,320
Something within themselves that gives them a sense of direction

331
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,320
And some purpose and meaning for their life

332
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:25,360
And while some have turned to an unorthodox approach

333
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:29,360
The fundamental search is the same within all of us

334
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:38,360
If we understand the human quest to be one of search for meaning and for finding the sacred in everyday life

335
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,360
I don't think that one ever goes away

336
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,360
And I don't think the 21st century, I'll call it the 3rd millennium

337
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,360
Will fundamentally change the nature of that quest

338
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,400
It may take new forms, but that quest I think is here to stay

339
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,400
So significant is this new kind of do-it-yourself enlightenment

340
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,400
That sociologists have given it a name

341
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:09,400
Now more than 30 million Americans, half of all the baby boomers, are in a new category of religious worship

342
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,400
Called believers, but not belongers

343
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,400
Okay, okay, here it goes, yeah

344
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,400
It's changing color

345
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,400
And you know what that means

346
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,440
You were right

347
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,440
We've got hard water

348
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,440
If your soap won't lather well and your skin feels dry, you might have hard water

349
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:27,440
And then you need zest

350
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,440
Soap leaves a trying fill behind

351
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,440
But even in hard water, zest brings us clean away for cleaner, smoother skin

352
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,440
You're not fully clean

353
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,440
And smooth

354
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Unless you're zest fully clean

355
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,440
And for an incredible feeling of clean, try zest body wash

356
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,480
Beyond the edge of reality

357
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,480
Lies a story of ultimate conquest

358
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,480
A story of war and friendship

359
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,480
A story of a lung that can never be

360
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,480
And a hatred that always was

361
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,480
And now, the most anticipated epic adventure of the year

362
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,480
Will never come to a theater near you

363
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,480
Final Fantasy VII

364
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,520
They stand so much

365
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,520
They move among us, cursed with eternal bloodlust

366
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,520
Bright and cross the threshold between the living and the dead

367
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,520
Dark thoughts, evil plans

368
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,520
In a cultured double feature

369
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,520
Then beginning Monday, immortality is theirs to behold

370
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,520
See before you're a man of this percentage

371
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,560
Hearing for night's classic year, the legacy of Dracula

372
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,560
As bright as the days on this Ivi channel

373
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,560
Hello there, I'd like to welcome you to Psychic Talk USA

374
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,560
What happened to you when you were seven years old, sweetheart?

375
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,560
What happened to me when I was seven?

376
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,560
Yeah

377
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,560
What happened to you with your mom when you were seven?

378
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,560
She sent me to my father

379
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,560
Yeah, that was a hard thing for you, wasn't it?

380
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,560
Yeah

381
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,600
Are you astounded by what this woman has just told you?

382
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,600
Did you think that anyone knew that but you and your mother and your father?

383
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,600
Yeah, no, nobody knew it

384
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,600
You couldn't have known it

385
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,600
You got a career move coming up for you

386
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Yeah, I'm gonna get rid of the move overseas

387
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,600
Well, oh, so be it

388
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,600
