Unsolved Mysteries

Have you ever caught yourself thinking that world is very small for even a single person to breathe properly... or it is too vast to explore even during multiple lifetimes? Have you ever wondered if such thing actually exists that is larger than our imagination?... It being so large that you could literally spend your entire life just to understand only a tiny its portion and yet you will be relieved if you're able to do so. However, in reality you will only put yourself in a more vulnerable situation if you actually try to seek that "knowledge". You'll feel as if you're trapped from everywhere and can't get out of its merciless clutch unless you know the entire truth.

Feeling that did you keep yourself busy fulfilling the tradition just like majority of the people do during their lifetime ignoring their existence. Maybe you've deliberately put them aside before even listening to what others have to say about them. If yes you can look at the situation in this way - without communication and looking back at history the wheel keeps being re-invented.

This time I've got a list of documentaries that you might find intriguing because of their mysticism. I'd recommend you to get some (all if possible) of the following documentaries from your local public library (or wherever available) and watch them in your leisure. Some of them are about the history of mankind. Others are about civilization, religion, culture, and the unique beliefs that are mysterious in several ways which couldn't be explained convincingly even by our modern science. You can analyze the viewpoints presented on these documentaries initiated by various school of thoughts. I personally feel that I always have the option and the freedom to believe in what I'd rather believe in especially when exposed to something that I'm not used to. But there's no harm in considering what others have to share either (especially if the message and intention is positive).
