  • Delve into the enigmatic realm of E.F. Benson's "In the Tube," a haunting tale where the boundaries of time, reality, and the supernatural blur. Anthony Carling, a man gifted with clairvoyance, shares his unsettling experience on the London Underground, where a spectral presence emerges, growing more vivid with each encounter. Through Carling's narrative, Benson explores the depths of fate, existence, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. "In the Tube" is a thought-provoking journey that will leave readers questioning the nature of reality and the mysteries that lie just beyond our perception.

    The rambling is the best reason to listen to him . He is just like having a old friend tell you a story . Then gets side tracked at the end. I really enjoy listening to this channel thanks for all the great stories and especially the ramblings after.

    I love Benson's ideas on time in this story and I've often thought the same: the concept of its beginning and end is very human-centric. Great story!

    What is time? This story makes you think about whether time is really linear.
    As always, I get goosebumps when I listen. You sometimes have such a wild roughness in your voice that conveys the extraordinary, unreal, almost insane nature of a moment in the story particularly well. Conveying this wildness without exaggerating it and then immediately switching to the gentlest tone of voice is truly an art that you have mastered perfectly.

    I think you did well, adding that information regarding the significance of Christian theology to the author.
    1. The author's cultural perception of and belief in the finitude of life and existence juxtaposed with what he considered the divine perception of eternity.
    2. If one accepts eternity, then ones perception of time expands, and likewise the expands the significance of your moral and ethical choices.
    Thanks for highlighting the context, it clarified the themes. This story from a century ago and a different culture echoes in eternity as well!

    Gripping, disturbing, thought-provoking also this time around. I believe in time "glitches"--have happened to me a few times over many years . The "I knew it" feeling, not wanting to admit it, because owning up to it is too unsettling, frightening, will be accused of an "overactive imagination" if not out and out lying. Much to process here, Tony. You're the best. Thank you.

    My thought (unsolicited advice) is you should combine all your channels into one for maximum benefit (most subscribers, combined views, monetization) and just distinguish the different kinds of videos with a dedicated thumbnail type for each. A different color/font for type/genre.
    Either that or plug your other channels more, but I don’t think that is as effective.
    Feel free to ignore if this is a bad suggestion. 😊

    Really like the story! There is truly many spiritual teachings about the notion that there is no time past or present. If you’re interested, the book the power of now by Eckhart Tolle, addresses a lot of this. Sorry for any misspellings I’m doing dictation. Also, there’s a really cool book about quantum physics called. The biocentric design how life creates reality. Thanks, Tony for another great narration and discussion. 59:16
