THE FIRST MYSTERY A Television Series For The New Humanity By Paul Smith THE FIRST MYSTERY is a new kind of Television Series that operates on a number of levels: it is a search, a tracking down of a murderer and a mystery as to who did it. It is a search through many mysterious lands, people and events. Travel Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Nepal, Tibet, Kashmir, India and San Francisco. It is a search (through dreams and visions) into the sub-conscious mind of the private detective Dave Jones, a cynical westerner, who seeks but is unaware of the true nature of his journey. It is also the story of the other main characters, Johnny Wilkulda an Australian aboriginal tracker, seeking a higher truth for himself and all others; and Robinson, the 'LSD Professor', who has taken the road of mind-expanding drugs, the 'fast road'.
