The timeless and recurrent wisdom of the Lost Book of Jashub in this reconstruction from ancient fragments found in the wreakage of the Baghdad Museum, ancient tablets broken into pieces and laboriously put back together, and the original text reconstructed by the eminent scholars, Moses Benmashrab and Shaitan Kohlrabi of the Hebrew University, Urishalom. Punctuation is uncertain, and no attempt has been made to second guess the content of missing fragments, leaving room for doubt over the reading and its interpretation.
When progress is imprisoned by the experts’ paradigms (or preconceptions, call them what you will) the break out is frequently the work of the astute amateur.

Pseudoscience begins with an implausible but emotionally appealing hypothesis, then offers as evidence only whatever supports it. Conflicting evidence is ignored. Pseudoscience rationalizes strongly held emotional beliefs. It does not investigate what is actually going on, or consider alternative more reasonable and likely explanations. Pseudoscience wants congenial conclusions, grinds ideological axes, and appeals to pre-conceived ideas and misunderstandings. (Distinguishing Science and Pseudoscience, csj.org)

Macrobius, a Latin author before the fall of Rome, described phantasma (appearances) seen “in the moment between wakefulness and slumber”. He is describing what is now known as “sleep paralysis”, experienced by almost everyone at some time in their life. In the semi-conscious state between being asleep and awake, briefly, you seem to come awake but cannot move or call out, making you anxious or even terrified. Sometimes, it is no more than this, and you nod off, but many people also experience hallucinations, from as little as feeling the bedsheets moving to visions of ghosts, demons, monsters, aliens — Macrobius’s phantasma — all with “the full force and impact of reality”, according to psychologist Robert Baker, cited by C Sagan in Demon Haunted World.
