Why do you get whole countries killing people for religious beliefs that supposedly say not to kill and love and on the other end you have the exact same thing....?
What one is taught to believe they believe is true.
Also its a very real fact that when a study occurs that shows something that cannot be explained by the current scientific model the study is simply ignored.
The earth is round-you are saying there is no way around that fact now. That is also what I am saying. It takes along time and absolute undeniable truth to change a believe. How many people do you think look to see if the world was round and how long after it was proven (to the individuals who actually knew from experience) before a society could begin to except it?
Einstein said we were energy beings. That everything was energy. Yet the amount of study in this area is minimal.
Then when researchers, if the topic is big enough, come out and say something that is against current belief they are very often ignored, ridiculed and even loose any scientific credibiolity.
An example is being top promonant researchers with gov' grants known to be super stars within their fields finds out something that challanges beliefs and often profits and are excommunicated.. some of the AIDS researchers for example.
You'd think thats far fetched untill you look at responses by those conditioned (all schooling is conditioning-not nessasarily good or bad) to believe a certain way and you get responses like... Someone has experiences and they automatically say that is bull shit because it doesn't fit into the model they were taught.
Exactly what you are doing.
If you said "You know what, it doesn't make sense to me and from whatg I have been taught (programmed) its not possible, however people say they experience this. Are they lying? Are they delusional? Could it be true? Could there be another possible explination? Wow if it is true....hmmmmm"
As oppposed to "Thats bs! Because I was taught so."
Being open to possibilities and saying 'that doesn't make sense but I can stay open enough to entertain the idea' is open minded. You don't have to accept or reject and idea. But automatic rejection is simply someone basing the decision on what they already believe (how much of what you believe did you really come up with your self?)
I am not saying you are wrong in what you know.
I am saying that I have experienced and I know others who some other things.
