Seeking the Third Story – DVD
2 Lectures by David Talbott
According to author David Talbott, all of human history can be seen as just two stories. First, came the story of ancient mythology, when towering gods were said to have ruled the world. Then came the story of science, emerging from a growing distrust of the myths and a new emphasis on direct observation and reason.
But a third story is possible, according to Talbott, one that sees the underlying provocation of the myths in extraordinary electrical events occurring close to the Earth. To be believed, a third story must be more coherent and more meaningful than either archaic religious mythologies or the modern mythologies of popular science.
This DVD includes two full talks by Talbott, given at the first annual conference of The Thunderbolts Project in Las Vegas, January 6-8, 2012. The second lecture takes up the "acid tests" of his historical analysis. The celestial formations he reconstructed have nothing in common with our observed world today. But the ancient records of these forms occur in extraordinary number and detail; all are inseparably connected to each other; and together they constitute a unified substructure of ancient thought—the archetypes or points of agreement between cultures around the world. In combination the ancient memories and practices confirm spectacular celestial forms above our early ancestors. The global integrity "cannot be by accident," Talbott assures us.
These lectures take the student of planetary catastrophism into a deeper and more convincing understanding of human origins.
