Personal Ghost

What if everyone had a ghost already, while they where alive, and that their own ghost was already haunting them? I obviously need more but it seems like a really good thought

Detective story

This is a police procedural that is pretty versatile despite having a simple gimmick. The protagonist has such an abusive childhood that he can see the last thing any on can see right before he or she died. The reoccurring part has to do with his past, how his trauma effects his life and his addictions or at least habits to keep the demons at bay. The procedural part is what is versatile. since what the victim saw would be different, the type of show would be different each week. If the victim saw the killer, saw everything, then the whole episode might be about finding the body, or finding the killer on the loose, or convincing the other police officers that the killer is the one, since they don't know his power. If the victim didn't see the murderer, then maybe just a clue, then the show is a murder mystery with a clue.

When captain James cook first landed on the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) in 1778 he found something very strange. Unlike every other place they visited, the native people didn’t start dying of diseases. They excelled where other people groups were struggling and they lived much longer than other people at the time. Finally, Cook finds out why. They worship a God that walks among them. The people talked about their God who was 20 Ft fall and weighed over a ton, who sent favor on the Hawaiians if they followed his commands. Cook attempts to swindle the Hawaiians and their God kills him. Surprisingly the Hawaiians invite outsiders to move to the island and the population grows. But none of the outsiders are allowed to see or visit the God who lives in a temple and a jungle. The missionaries come and try to convince the Hawaiians of their religion, but they are hard to convince because Jesus is in the sky and their God walks among them. The missionaries say that He is not a God but rather a fallen angel or a Nephilim. The outsiders learn that the God is very generous but has a vicious temper toward disloyalty. Many of the missionaries are converted to the Hawaiian religion. The mission boards back home have to figure out what to do.

The devil came to town

The devil asked God if he could go down to earth and cause some trouble. God let him, saying "you can have your fun, but you know I always win in the end". So the devil went to a small town and found a man he would use. He spent years turning this man evil, first as a liar, then as a thief and manipulator. The man had a small market and it grew under the devil's care to the largest in the town. He soon became very wealthy, most by cheating others and destroying his competition. The devil had turned this one man into such a problem that the whole town was suffering. But the man had a wife who loved him and was always looking to thwart his evil. And soon, she started to get the upper hand. When he cheated the poor, she gave the money back. When he destroyed someone's business, she was always ready to loan money back. She became the wisest woman in town and everyone came to her to see what they should do. So the devil tried to get the man to stop this. "leave her" but the man said he loved her too much. So the devil got the man to try to disgrace her publicly, having a series of affairs with notorious people of the town. But even this did not change her. "No one can take my character. My husband has sinned, and that is between him and God, but I will continue to love him and love this town." The devil tried to get the man to beat his wife, but the man loved her too much and secretly was proud of her courage. The devil tried to get him to kill her, and he refused. Finally the devil brought sickness to the town and the man's wife died. But this was too much for the man, and he changed his ways. He repented, gave away his money and lived the rest of his life at the church, giving to the poor. The devil was so angry, because he had given years to this man and just because the man refused to beat and kill his wife, everything was lost. So the devil used the oldest magic he knew and conjured up a great spell. From that day onward, the town would be cursed with men who hated women. Many years went by, and the man eventually died. The young men who grew up under the curse started to Marry and right away beat their wives. The told their wives that is what they were for and if they were more obedient they wouldn't get beaten. These men trained their brothers and their sons in their ways and soon even the women were told that they were less than men. They were beaten and belittled, and many died. And yet it still went on. The towns curse spread as the men moved to other towns and soon the whole land had pockets of men who beat their wives (section on the neediness of these men, ambivalence) God gathered his saints in heaven for a great battle, he choose the women of these towns for saints.

American Crime

Put columbian crime stories inside the united states, with all white criminals. The drug dealers bribe white cops, kill white judges and blow up the supreme court. The show would bring perspective on what happened.

The interviewer

This is about a talk show host. He does nothing but interview people but everyone who comes on is written a script. Most of them made fun of the host, some just consistently got his name wrong, some thought he was a woman, some sat in his chair and interviewed him. He had an assistant that sometimes would sit in the chair and due interviews, and many times he would ask the guests a question and they would ignore him and talk to his guest host. The guests would preview movies they weren't in, movies that came out 20 years ago and fake movies. But it was all done completely seriously and there was never a nod to the audience.

Apple Tree

Let me tell you a secret that has taken me decades to learn and will take the rest of my life to apply. It is a very simple concept that nevertheless is very difficult for me to remember. The secret comes in two parts Part 1: It is our subconscious that drives our behavior, not our conscious. What we are unaware of, or at least peripherally aware of, is way more important to who we are and what we do then what we think. Most of our thoughts are just catching up with our subconscious, filling in and making up stories that make sense of what is already decided and being carried out by our hidden mind. This may sound hopeless to you, because no matter how much thought you out into controlling your action, no matter how much behavior you try to shape, it will never as matter as much as your subconscious. But it actually gives me much hope because of the second part Part 2: you can shape your subconscious. I use the word shape very carefully. You can control your words and train our thoughts (at least some of them), change your behaviors but the process with the subconscious is more subtle. We don't control our subconscious, we influence it. Because we cannot "know" our subconscious, and can't grasp it, we cannot control all the processes of action. We feed, nurture, and remove obstacles for our subconscious, but the control is out of our hands. What I am talking about isn't just about psychology. In Christian Terms, this is about our soul, and this is the most import part of us. I like to see the subconscious as an apple tree growing in rocky ground and our consciousness is the farmer. We are taught in the bible that our behaviors are an outcropping of our soul, that we should measure our souls by our fruit. But we some how get confused in this process. We want to control the fruit, to show to our neighbors our shiny fruit, but we didn't write the blue print for the tree, we are not in charge of the recipe. No matter how much we prune our tree and mess with the fruit a blue berry will never grow out of an apple tree. As Christians it is very easy to focus on our outside behavior. We read the bible. We pray, we say nice things, go to church and try to follow the commandments. But these are all actions. And none of them directly nurture the soul. We are told that if we do a behavior enough it will lead to a change in the soul. This is true, to an extend. We know from psychological studies that if someone smiles over and over even when she doesn't want to she will later say she is somewhat happier. We know that if we have more "good" habits and less "bad" habits, we will cause less distress in our lives and it will lead to a change in us. But there is problems with this. Problem 1: This is very forceful. This is like choosing the shape the apple tree will grow and forcing it into your idea of what is best. When we force change from the outside and don't pay attention to what we need on the inside, our faith can become based off of effort Problem 2: But the problem is that our idea of what is best is biased. Problem 3: And forcing our character to fit our prescribed behaviors can make people feel hollow inside. It is like a beautiful apple that shines in the super market and tastes awful when you bring it home. If you force yourself to smile every day it will change you, but it can lead others to think you are phony. More importantly, eventually you will feel fake. Problem 4: As Christians we are taught that salvation comes from faith by grace. But there is another process, called sanctification. This is the process of turning the old us, our old nature, or sin nature, or immaturity or lies we used to accept and changing it all into who were are born to be. We are created as the imago dei, which means the image of God. The blue print is already set, the recipe has been decided by someone else. But we get this confused. We believe that God does the salvation part but our effort is to finish the job. We have taken over the sanctification process and tried to fix it with works. But true sanctification can not be lead by works, it has to be lead by God, through who he has created us to be. When we try to control the process, it shows our lack of faith that God already gave us everything we need. When we think we have to grow ourselves to god we are acknowledging the lie we believe, that we were made defective. The most common message to me growing up was to be myself. I was told to listen to my heart, to follow my own path, to be who I was and not what others told me who I was. I hated this. I had multiple problems with this 1. I didn't know who I was. Being myself sounded ridiculous to someone who felt like I could be whatever I wanted to be. 2. The little I did know of myself I didn't like 3. "being myself" sounded lazy and giving up I can know see that the environment I grew up in was extreme behaviorism, and the more people I meet, many from different religious cultural backgrounds or even who grew up on the opposite side of the world, all seemed to grow up in this behaviorism. But it is also because young kids are extremely concrete. It is a necessity of making sense of a crazy world. Kids have to think in black and white. The problem is, if we are in a open, nurturing environment when we are around early high school, we start to think in abstracts, we the world as more than good or bad, black and white, right and wrong. So many of us, especially in the culture I was raised in, never saw out of this. What surprised me most and still surprises me, even if it shouldn't is the connection with black and white, extreme behaviorism and how Christianity was practiced.

8/13 the well

The story of a well in a village that is much deeper than people thought it was. Every day they drink out of the well and people in the village don't get sick. They are attacked by a neighboring village and many come to the well with deep knife wounds and they are healed after they drink the water.

Mobster Detective

A new gangster takes over the crime of a major city, maybe new york. He realizes that every time there is a famous murderer who isn't caught, the police put more pressure on crime and it hurts his business. He sends his best general to become a detective and catch criminals that make the news paper. His general can use any technique, intimidation, torture, whatever but has to end up finding out who the criminal is and leading the police to the criminal in a way that no one, not police or criminal, knows his role in what happened. Every week we see the story of the crime, and watch the general and the police go back and forth till the general gives to the police the path to catching the criminal. Because of this, the police force in this town is getting great press and the focus is not on crime but other issues when the election comes up.

The path of killers

4 murders, every other day, in 4 different towns, all strangled, are finally linked together. The task force in charge of finding the serial killer or killers quickly find some clues. Still not having any idea who the killer is, they come up with the idea that he is not killing people he knows but strangers with no desire to steal or do anything to them. They are forced to find a pattern in the killings and anticipate the next one to catch the killer. A fifth killing on the 9th day brings more clues and the sixth killing on the 11th day confirms their pattern. They prepare to catch the killer on the 13th day, and someone shows up, exactly where they expected him to. They tell him to freeze but he ignores them and attempts to strange his target. He is shot multiple times but somehow escapes. Most of the police think he will change his pattern after being caught, or go back to finish the job of the last one, but a few follow it anyway to the next potential target. The killer arrives again and again is shot while escaping. But this time they get proof (I don't know how yet) that the killer is not human. Eventually they find out he is an alien and he has lost communication with the rest of his species. They realize that every murder is broadcast over satellite and that the name of the victim, the date and city the victim is from is all part of a message set back to his people. He is killing to communicate. Eventually the police break the code. He is transmitting whether or not the earth is a good planet to gather resources from, and if it is, the aliens would attack. When the police finally figure out how to catch the killer and accomplish it, they realize that the pattern points to communicating that the aliens should come. The police realize that they have to kill 4 more people in 4 different cities to continue the communication and let the aliens pass our planet by.

That night there is a huge crack and people run around and see that the abandoned building is shaking. Then moving. Then it seems to stand up as if it has legs. It sways to the east and then to the west and then heads north. 8 blocks away an old, abandoned building responds to the crashes with a crack of her own. Old bricks fall away as she sturdies herself up on her legs and heads toward the lake. The two buildings head toward each other, seemingly on a collision course. Police sirens and shrieks of fear, but the buildings do not stop to eat anyone. They meet up on the beach, but not to battle. They stop and wait. And we wait. And they sit for long enough that even the sirens stop as they seem to stare at each other. Then they turn toward the water and walk together into the see, walking till they disapear into the depths of the lake of michigan
