Film Exam Questions | 1

I must admit, if I realized that I was just “stuff”, with nothing metaphysical about me, I would feel a bit disappointed in the fact that I’m not something more than just a body. According to the film on mysterium tremendum, this feeling could be the possibility to why dualism arose. A time in my life when I mistakenly believed something to be true was about a couple of weeks ago. It was late at night and I had decided to have something to drink before going to sleep. Before I returned to my room, I had forgotten to turn off the lights in the main hall. I was too exhausted to head back out to turn it off so I just decided to leave it on. I closed my door and then set the empty glass on my nightstand. I was about to head off to sleep but the strangest thing happened next that I couldn’t really explain at the moment. I turned around very quickly just to scope around the room and I realized that the lights from the main hall were off. Even though my door was closed, usually I would be able to see the hallway lights from under the door if they were on but it wasn’t the case this time. I found this very peculiar and to be honest, it freaked me out. At first, I thought maybe the power went off but then I found out that it was impossible since I turned on the lights in my room which turned on. Since I was freaked out and exhausted at the same time, I didn’t think about it too much and came to the conclusion that maybe my house was haunted. Now, I don’t usually believe in the supernatural but due to the circumstances thst I was in, I couldn’t think about anymore possibilities to explain what had happened. The next morning, I had told my brother about what had happened and it turns out that she he my supernatural conclusion. I thought he would have been asleep by then but apparently he was not. Another time in my life when I mistakenly believed something to be true when it actually wasn’t was when I had thought I lost my phone. I was at the store one day with a couple of friends of mine. Once we got to the car, I realized I didn’t have my phone with me. At first, I thought that one of my friends had stolen it from me as a prank but they had sworn that they didn’t take it at all. Then, I thought that maybe I had lost it somewhere in the store. My friends and I had retraced all of our steps and even asked the employees if anything had been turned in but unfortunately, nothing was turned into them. One of my friends had suggested to maybe checking inside all of the bags that we had. To my surprise, my phone was in one of the shopping bags.
