Great answer. I am not just talking about the ancient alien hypothesis. I'm also talking about a whole array of inconsistent data from the past. For me it's like a puzzle piece.

I don't know if you've read Secret Machines by Peter Levendra and Tom De Longe? Fascinating - as is Levendra himself and many of his hypotheses in his books. Also the information on Skinwalker Ranch, Robert Bigelow himself, and the many paranormal experiences reported there. John Mack and his books on abductions are almost irrefutable. Add Brian Weiss and Many Lives, Many Masters and Brian Green's string theory and you have quite a strange, exotic soup. Oh and I forgot Talbot's Holographic Universe and David Bohm's theories on implicit and explicit order and Pribham and Jung's work on consciousness.!

I don't believe science itself will be spiritually fulfilling - however the false separation from philosophy and theology has been one of humanity's biggest mistakes. That is the core issue I look at in my books...drawing the line between all three. The series is however fictional and so I've found a pathway to ignoring epistemic standards. None really exist since we are in new territory.

Yes Grusch of course. I have believed for some time that we are a part of something very, very complex which we do not yet understand. The Bible is a useful mythology which touches on this mystery in terms of what we are able to understand through storytelling and metaphor. Most are not interested in applying multi-dimensional, multi-universe, string theory or quantum physics to it.

However time to grow up and put it all together outside of the fetters of extremely primitive religious ideologies. But will we be able to do this before we wipe ourselves out?

What a time to be exploring all of this. That's the mandate of the science fiction novelist! That's why I switched to this genre eight years ago. Still editing and revising but closing in. Let's keep following Grusch.
