Welcome back to Jeremy, reads aloud books and alchemy reading the Emerald Tablet Alchemy of personal Transformation. Chapter five. It's Father Is the Sun. Subheading is the callous A nation of William Shatner, the captain of the Starship Enterprise, contacted me in 1976. Asked if I would assist him in the making of a document you film for ancient astronauts and UFOs called Mysteries of the Gods. Star Trek star William Shatner interviewed me on camera about various aspects of your apology, and we traveled together through Virginia and New York, tracking down UFO witnesses and talking with scientists involved in the search for extraterrestrial life. But the film was more than just another job for Shatner. He was intensely interested in the UFO phenomenon, eager to find people who believed they were in contact with aliens. The reason. He believed he had himself been contacted by a cosmic intelligence. To understand what happened to Shatner, we have to take a closer look at the personality of this multi faceted man. Born in 1931 in Montreal, Shatner was the only son in an upper middle class Jewish household. At an early age, he discovered the power of acting to get hold of people's emotions about the tender age of eight, he had made his professional acting debut. He continued to act all through high school and college. After graduation, he joined the prestigious Stratford's Shakespearian festival material, and a few years later he started appearing in live television plays in the United States. He went on to star is several Broadway shows, 70 movies and over 200 television programs. Shatner always seemed to know exactly what he wanted, and as a child he earned the nickname Quote Unquote Tuffy because of his reputation, seventh for defending his pride and goals against anyone who got in the way As an actor, he was Nover, bickering with the directors and treating other actors with contempt, and he soon gained a reputation for having one of the biggest egos in Hollywood because of his egomania. He frequently demanded that scenes we were done to feature him more prominently and is shouting matches with other actors and directors caused several to quit working with him altogether. However, in 1967 shatters Ego embarked on a collision course with destiny just as he was getting closer to a stern father. After years of estrangement, the elder Shatner had a heart attack and died on a vacation in Miami. In the plane, taking his father's body back to Montrell, his grieving son stared out the window and confronted his own mortality. I was looking out the window, Shatner recalled. But what I was really doing was looking into myself. What I saw was an empty pit, and it terrified me. I suddenly saw how the insane go insane. They see reality for one terrifying, fleeting moment. They take off the rose colored glasses. Maybe we'd all go insane if we took off the rose color glasses. Those rose colored glasses were Shatner's ego, and it was slowly being chipped away. Within a few months, the NBC television network let it be known they were going to cancel the Star Trek series, which have become the focal point of Shatner's energies and hopes. At the same time, his marriage was unraveling and his wife of 13 years filed for divorce. His alimony payments, which were based on his Star Trek salary, were enormous. Plus he was all allowed to visit his three daughters on Leah weekends. The Imperial captain Kirk ended up living like a popper in a two bedroom house that a completely furnished for less than $300. Eventually, he would be forced to live in a pickup camper as he drove around looking for work in summer stock productions. I waas insane. Shatner set of this period like the way an animal isn't seen because I had lost my family, I'd lost everything, and I was scrambling, clawing to get everything back and put it together right in the middle. Of all of this, Shatner had a paranormal experience experience that he would spend the next 10 years trying to comprehend. In an effort to escape from his multitude of worries, Shatner started taking long motorcycle trips in the Mojave Desert with friends. One morning, however, he got separated from his companions when his motorcycle hits something and he was thrown to the ground. Oddly, the enough his four friends thought he was still with them. They all assumed a dark figure on a motorcycle. Some distance behind them was Schattner. The mysterious figure stayed with him for over two hours before disappearing. Shatner lay on the ground, getting his bearings. He also experienced something strange. He said. It was like a nightmare, and would you feel something crawling all over your body? He then lost consciousness, and the next thing he remembered was feeling a tingling blast of light and finding himself lying next to his motorcycle again. Though Shatner was unable to start his bike, he could push it in one direction only toward a dark figure waving him on from a rich on the horizon. He followed a stranger for some time, then suddenly lost sight of him. At that moment, Shatter noticed a glistening, tambourines shaped UFO in the sky, and just below it he saw the towering sign from a gas station, the Onley refuge for 50 miles around. The baffled actor could not account for six hours of time. He had been lost in the 110 degree desert heat, nor quitting identified the dark figure who led him to safety. Then he started having weird dreams of voiceless communications with beautiful humanoids in a tampering shaped craft. Publicly, he criticized the government's handling of UFO reports and demanded that whatever was known be released. He planned to make a short film of his his experience and tried to come to terms with it and a record album entitled The Transformed Man. His emotional reading of the lyrics to the popular songs Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Mr Tambourine Man expressed his desire. She returned to the aliens. Take me on a trip in your magic swirling ship! He bellowed. My senses have been stripped. Not surprisingly, music critics thought Shatner had lost his mind. What was taking drugs? We'll continue our reading of Chapter five. It's Father Is the sun subheading The consummation of William Shatner. Right after this video will be reading the next video. We'll read Page 79.
