Go outside, if you will, and look up at the Sun or the Moon, depending on what time it is. Then, imagine the celestial mechanics involved in an eclipse. The Sun is much larger than the moon, yet from our point-of-view on Earth, the two discs are relatively the same size. But, wait.
First, stop and think for a moment. Just contemplate how amazing it really is that these two immense objects, when they do cross paths, could actually appear to be the same size. At 865,000 miles in diameter, the Sun is more than ten times larger than our home planet and more than 93 million miles away from us. The Moon, in contrast, is only 2,160 miles wide and about 240,000 miles away.
The sheer improbability alone of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, all hurling through space, each on its own path, yet aligning so accurately, is staggering to conceive when you take the time to try. Then add to that the fact that these alignments are so consistent that calendars can be produced which predict the exact date of the next eclipse.
An eclipse, then, is a celestial event, which presents the most obvious physical proof of the existence of divine, providential forces.
You may think you are explaining things satisfactorily by pointing out the celestial mechanics involved in an eclipse. You can quantify the masses involved and qualify the data all you want. Try to boil it down to a formula; but all your theorizing will still fall short of the matter.
Something amazing, and beyond our comprehension, is keeping us from spinning off into oblivion, and just to remind us periodically along the way, there will be those ever-present celestial wake-up calls to remind us of our ultimate destiny in the Heavens, beyond our selves and beyond our merely Earthbound view of things.
So, already within everyone's practical, daily experience, in this case, the Sun and the Moon, is actually a "lost story" just waiting to be told, a story which reveals truth that is actually "hidden in plain sight." By simply stating the obvious, The LostStories Channel will provide an ever-present reminder of these "perpetual" facts which have been lost to our daily way of thinking. By pointing to such obvious facts, and bringing them to their logical conclusion, we'll attempt, in an initial way, to begin categorizing the power of "the Obvious."
By providing enough empirical evidence, The LostStories Channel will lay, brick by brick, a foundation for an understanding of many things that science deems unfathomable to human scrutiny (e.g., the proof of God's existence, the laws of spiritual domains, etc.). Because of the limitations of human cognition, only a thorough, broad-based analysis of specific evidence, book by book, and category by category, could ever provide the necessary frame-of-reference.
That's why nothing presented on The LostStories Channel should ever be seen or understood in isolation. This overview approach to the information will provide an ever-increasing awareness of God's control over an apparently reckless stream of events. In this way, the presumed coincidences of Western history, and, in fact, World history, can no longer be seen as a series of mere coincidences.
By creating a web site dedicated to codifying this type of knowledge, we have an entirely new way to approach an age-old problem. Spawned in an electronic information age, The LostStories Channel will be a perpetual place where readers and writers can be involved in an ongoing digital dialog spanning the globe, a place where people can visit 24 hours a day to listen, learn, and discuss.
Now, anyone anywhere can take an active part in assembling the clues we all have at our disposal, as we together try to solve some of the greatest mysteries of the Universe.
