Katie Holmes appeared on the Eli Stone show last night in one of Eli’s visions.  The rest of the episode Eli tries to figure out what if anything his vision means and whether or not to meet with the woman in his vision.

This raises some metaphysical questions.  For example, all of us have moments where we see what is possible for our lives in the future or we have a dream or vision that incorporates unfamiliar people and places.  Sometimes the significance of these dreams is obvious.  Other times, the meaning is not immediately revealed.  We are left to grapple with the meaning of these places and people that appear in our dreams and visions.  Many people report having seen a particular place in a dream and then being at that exact location many years later without any prior knowledge of its existence.

The show does not offer any direct explanation for the occurrence of these esoteric events.  However, it does suggest that sometimes we experience certain phenomenon for the soul reason of reminding us that something greater than ourself is active in our life.  This episode does an effective job of asking these questions and leaving it up to us to find our own answers.

Eli Stone, the drama on ABC about a lawyer who receives prophetic visions, had its season two premiere this past Tuesday.  The episode begins with Eli questioning whether he wants to continue to receive his visions or return to what he believes to be normal.  He wrestles with this decision and is given direction along the way.  His psychiatrist, played by Sigourney Weaver, bluntly tells him, “Eli, you are one of those people who normal is considered a failure of potential.”  This causes Eli to reconsider what his role in life should be.

This show does an effective job of asking whether faith and vision can be accepted and useful in a society that often value logic above all.  The main character is a lawyer who needs documented evidence to advocate for his clients.  Yet, he must use Divine inspirations as a resource to gather the hard facts needed to win his cases.  This asks us whether we can trust that a Higher power or God is actively providing beneficial instruction in our life.

It is exciting to see a major network bring this show back for a second season and promote it during its prime time lineup.  It aires Tuesday nights at 10:00 pm on ABC.  The promo for season two is below.
