http://uslanka.net/template/ I interrupt my posting of “The Answer” for a couple of Keelian tidbits.
The first is that YouTube has informed me that the second part of “On Exhibition,” a film that John and Ed Lord made in 1963, violates community standards. In this comic short, John plays a drunk bewildered by the paintings in the Museum of Modern Art. The first part, in which he gets thrown out of several bars, is apparently fine, but the artwork in the Museum must have offended someone. Anthony Matt and I posted it back in 2011, so it took ten years for it to become objectionable.
I also note that an early piece by John has cropped up on eBay: a humorous article on songwriting, published in the April 23, 1946 edition of Hobo News. John was only 16 at the time. The seller is asking $400, which is more than I can afford, but if any of you snap it up, let me know. I took a screen shot, and added the article to the bibliography.
And next week, we’ll return to “The Answer.”
As Tom Leher sang in “Smut”: Filth, I’m glad to say, is in the mind of the beholder.

There are apparently some very filthy minds amongst the YouTube ‘community standards’ censorship group these days.
And I thought the censors were bad in the 60s (see Smothers Brothers, etc.)… 😀

Beneath Our Haunted Planet, John Keel confesses to being a lifelong agnostic? As I recall beneath The Mothman Prophecies, an anxiety towards being unnaturally formatted somehow is expressed.
Would it hurt to attempt to talk from the Heart personally to one’s sense of a Higher Power as one would be feeling the pressure?
There is Divinity in Humanity. To know what one is put on this planet to do, to believe in one’s self and to never, never give up.

You are most precious! Do not give up on yourself.
