Walter Bosley and Empire of the Wheel II: Friends From Sonora

[Walter Bosley]

My experience with synchronicity was intensified during the period of discovery and investigation on the material in the first book and what will be covered in the third. My co-author, Rick Spence (PhD -- and you'll find his credentials haven't been Imbrognoed, as he is a tenured professor of history at the University of Idaho and an author on other subjects), has stated to me personally and in public interviews that he never put much stock into synchronicity until he started working on the first EOW book with me and experienced it firsthand. I decided to cease discussing my experiences publicly because, as my critics would so gleefully point out, I cannot prove to any listening or reading audience that they happened. At first this bothered me, but then I realized the experiences are more interesting than is people believing me. The books present what facts are found (and can be backed up) plus an analysis and opinion-- which stand independent of whatever weirdness Rick or I may encounter in the process. Whatever experiences people have with various phenomena are usually intended for them and it's often pointless to share it with others.

Rick and I sincerely are not out to convince anyone of anything they aren't open to consider -- and that's the extent we ask of the reader, to merely consider what we've found and present. As you'll hear me state in the show with Gene and Chris, I'd rather sell ten books to readers who are sincerely interested than a hundred books to people needing the hard sell. I recently took Joseph Farrell, Scott deHart, Andrew Colvin, and Tessa Dick on a tour of sites associated mostly with the third book but also the first two, and you can ask them their impressions of what I showed them. Some details they have graciously agreed not to comment on until the third EOW book comes out. They will tell you my approach is 'Look at this, here's what I think, what do you think?' There have been people who express aggravation that the first book asks more questions than it answers -- but we state that in the foreword.

I'm not going to tell people what they should think, critical thinkers can decide that for themselves. I am not of the school of thought that every discussion or book must absolutely result in a conclusion on what anyone should think or of what the participants should be convinced. Not everything is an argument to be won. I present MY conclusions in the second book much more than in the first, but the reader does not have to accept them.

And ultimately we think we have enough interesting material that any personal experiences aren't necessary to make for an interesting read.

fwiw i am going to commit paracast heresey and also mention that i don't have a particularly strong interest in UFOs or debating their existence as much as discussing how it interplays with our belief systems and emotional being.

There's nothing wrong with committing a little heresy here and there. After all, the heretics are always onto things that mainstream folk are often missing out on. In fact, what we need is more creative heresy and less taking things, theories and old ideas for granted.
