Miracle Quest, a new documentary series
|
POWER OF BELIEF Flavia Colgan, the show’s host
Flavia Colgan believes there are some things science can’t explain and that miracles do happen. This Harvard graduate of Comparative Religion from Philadelphia started meditating at a very young age. “I remember as a child, I was fascinat
ed with incidents that cannot be explained or understood,” says the explorer. “I believe in the power of hope and belief – I have the heart of a believer and the mind of a sceptic.”
“I believe in a spiritual life,” affirms Flavia who researched Hinduism while studying. “Right from the time of Joan of Arc, there have been remarkable women who have defied men, the church and politics. I think it is important that individual beliefs are protected and maintained.”
Flavia believes that for miracles to happen and be witnessed, people’s hearts have to be opened. In “Miracle Quest”, a new documentary series that embarks on a personal quest of discovery, which she hosts on Star World, she asserts that doubt is not the opposite of religion. “It is important to ask questions rather than take words or beliefs as they are. It is necessary to read and investigate rather than listen to religious leaders who just take advantage of people.”
