Yale PHD in Philosophy, majoring in the study of metaphysics

Recently, I was intrigued when I saw this optometrist that goes by the name of Billy Pilgrim had started up a public speaking carrier, talking about his time travelling and how he learned a new way of life from what he expresses as an “extraterrestrial form of life”. My interest spiked when I read in his press release that he was discussing a new way of living, and from my colleagues at Yale University that he was expressing how human beings don't actually die due to the concept of time not being linear. I knew immediately I had to go listen to him speak, his propositions were contradicting everything I had learned whilst receiving my degree in philosophy.

​

When I arrived in New York City with a couple of my colleagues from the University, we were incredibly lucky to have ran into Mr. Pilgrim’s publicist and we had an opportunity to ask a few questions about the upcoming conference we were attending where he was to speak. The first question I was eager to ask was, why everyone believed this man and why his speeches had such a large impact on the audience he was delivering them to?

​

His publicist said that he had the same credibility question as he did when he was hired by Mr Pilgrim, he continued to add that after time of sleepless nights with these thoughts implanted into his head by what Mr. Pilgrim had told him, it really is real, he has proof and he will guide you on a path of almost completely serenity in existence. Upon arriving at the convention center where he was to speak, I met a ton of interesting people who had a lot to say about what they had heard about Mr. Pilgrims speeches, the majority of people where around the same age and had the relatively the same kind of education as me, which made me wonder how Billy planned on delivering his messages to the younger and older generation, as well as to people who did not have an as extensive education as myself and the others around me attending the conference.

​

To say the least, his speech was incredible. Mr. Pilgrim is a must see. He has such a way with words that it makes it that much more intriguing, the ideas presented were introduced in such a way that he absolutely made me a believer. In the future I hope to see him speak again and I encourage everyone if they have to opportunity to go see him speak, or for my readers super involved in social media, following his twitter @MediaCampaign3, his facebook, Bill Pilgrim Campaign, and his website, https://pilgrimpublicspeaker.wixsite.com/billy-pilgrim. Mr. Pilgrim made me question certain aspect of my field I had never questioned before in all my years of study.
