Unsolved Mysteries and the Beginning of the Spiritual Journey
All spiritual journeys begin with the search for mystery.
A Phase of Wonder
A few years ago, before the pandemic struck, I found myself increasingly drawn to mysteries—especially those that remained unsolved. The kind that hovered on the edges of accepted knowledge, considered ‘fringe’; either unanswered or burdened with explanations that felt incomplete or unsatisfactory. I would often stay up late at night, lost in thought, turning over questions in my mind. Questions about the Pyramids, Aliens, the Bermuda Triangle—those great enigmas that have shadowed human history and still stir something ancient in us.
During that time, I gravitated toward media that fed this curiosity. Netflix and fmovies became my entry point, particularly a show titled Unsolved Mysteries, which, though not academically rigorous, served as a compelling gateway for someone beginning their search. I think I also watched parts of David Greer’s Disclosure—or at least I tried to. I couldn’t bear to sit through the entire film. Even then, I could sense that much of what was available on mainstream platforms like Netflix offered only diluted glimpses of deeper truths. There was always more—beneath the surface, between the lines, beyond the screen.
This period wasn’t just about following trends or reacting to hot topics in the news. It was a personal phase of inquiry, of stepping into the unknown for its own sake. I remember a few films from that time that stood out, which I’d recommend to anyone interested in diving into the hidden layers of our world.
One explored the strange phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion.
Another examined the unsettling idea that Churchill may have been more pivotal than Hitler in engineering the events of WW2 —an unpopular but provocative perspective.
And of course, there was Unsolved Mysteries, which, despite its simplicity, managed to touch on many of the age-old riddles we’ve turned into myth, legend, and cinematic obsession.
For serious researchers, these might seem like introductory material—and they are. But for those just beginning the journey, they're a meaningful place to start. They remind us that the world is not as explained as we often think, and that the questions which haunt us may be more important than the answers we’ve been given.
Wondering as a Trigger: When Reality Responds
As I delved deeper into these mysteries, I began to notice something peculiar. The very act of asking why—of wondering out loud—seemed to trigger something within reality itself. It was as if the universe responded to sincere inquiry. Often, this would manifest in synchronistic coincidences related to the exact topic I had been pondering or reading about. At other times, the answers would emerge not from something I had read or watched, but from within—as if they were original insights bubbling up from a deeper layer of memory or intuition.
For those who are capable of original thought, these moments can sometimes feel like remembering what really happened—not learning it for the first time, but recalling it from some hidden archive of the soul.
The deeper I looked, the more apparent it became that human history is riddled with anomalies—event after event that don’t fit the linear, sanitized narrative we've been taught. Yet mainstream academia, and even most anthropologists, don’t even begin to scratch the surface of what’s out there. The blind spots are too many. Even independent researchers who venture beyond the orthodox limits often stop short. Graham Hancock, for instance, is willing to acknowledge that there was a global cataclysm—but he doesn’t go into who/what might have caused it.
But when you step back and look at the world’s mythologies—whether Eastern or Western—you begin to see unmistakable patterns. They all speak of similar beings: the solar saviour, the sky gods, the watchers, the giants. Whether it's the Rakshasas and Asuras of the East, or the demigods and fallen angels of the West, the same archetypes echo across continents and cultures. These are not isolated fictions, but fragments of a shared and veiled history.
And then there are the resets—great civilizational collapses, engineered or natural, that have reshaped the world repeatedly. To understand these historical resets, two of the most important voices to turn to are Guy Anderson and Howdy Mikowski. Their work offers a rare glimpse into the mechanics of these global disruptions, not just as events, but as intentional acts of forgetting and erasure.
In the end, it becomes clear that to ask sincerely is to remember.
To wonder deeply is to awaken something—not just in the world, but within ourselves.
