There are many people who do not believe in the existence of occult matters due to obtaining no information to give them personal proof. If you want to see the world outside you get up and walk out the door why would seeing "the other side" be any different? You can try to go outside by opening the closet but if you do not know what outside is supposed to look like you will tell yourself that what is in the closet is outside. This skewed view can lead to problems and frustration. Once you have found the correct door and you open it things take on a subtle change and new meaning. Have you had found this problem when working on personal growth? Something that you are doing is not working the way you want it to so you go about it a different way. Why is it so much easier to change your diet or sleep habits than it is to step back and try another way out? If you have had situations simillar to this or can relate to it please share your thoughts and what you did to remedy the situation you found yourself in.
People have trouble believeing in "the other side" because its not something they can place their hands on.
As far as personal growth/change, many differnt routes have been required for me to find one that works, for several differnt problems.
if someone wants concrete evidence about whether or not the occult is a real thing... i have no problem with skepticism but to clog up the forums of people who do believe in such matters is more of a waste of time than informative research..
There are those who write of their occult interests cabrion, much as others have written of God, whether it be the Christian or Muslim, or whatever.. and, there's no physical proof that's existence, what so ever. Is there?
self-growth??
people talk of it, tho when faced with the opportunity the engender change, they choose not to take it.
After getting the final Dose of Dmt when my heart crashed I can see how people that have near death experiences are lead to believe they connected to the other side, but I excepted it as the Hallicination it was.
..Because all the Garbage that were planted in our brain since our early days. From religion to morality. To change those believe, WOW, take an army of Psychologist, together with reinforcement of Sociologist. We tend to believe, something that we already know, reason, is more easy to understand. The other side is a complex subject that not all humans can understand. For them, is The dark side or the Light side. Good Or evil. So. that is my humble opinion.
Faith in anything existensial can be an iffy thing, at best. you just have the faith that certyain things pertain to your set of beliefs and hope that at best these make sense. You really cannot prove 100% that any faith system has it all for everyone.
A most interesting post indeed I have to say. In order to truly understand and post to it you’re asking people to think outside the box. Most people choose not to consider that which cannot be explained by science. I personally feel there is far more to the world and the world we do not understand than we can even consider comprehending or understanding at this stage in evolution. As a species we live in specific cultures where we are taught how to act, think, what to eat, and thus our behavior and thought patterns follow suite. To find personal growth and experience all there is to experience, you have think and analyze in a critical manner which again most of us can’t because we have never been taught how. Beliefs are based on just that, what we believe and you either choose to believe in something or you choose not to, even if in fact legible evidence was presented, you could find a way to disprove it with enough time and thought. Simply put, we create our own realities regardless of actual reality.
That raises the very interesting point of "does God exist simply because we believe he does"
i've believed in a tree in my room that nobody else can see, but so far it still isn't there... except to me.
At least that was at my old house. now i have a cool new house with padded walls and hourly sedatives.
It doesnt exist because you believe it, you believe it because you have been led to believe it is out there. If it isn't out there, your views have not changed, and neither has the condition of the external world.
the other side is hard to prove but even harder to prove is it not there .
if it were not would we be here , does there not have to be two sides to a coin same goes for powers that be there has to be two sides if only one the balance would be off and then were would we be no were and we cant be no were when we most deffently are some were right ..
Same goes for the other side just because you cant see something does not prove that it is not there , if it were that easy then we would never have found out about the fact that things are all 2 demetional if only one then we would all be flat and that would be a big bore ...
Another point to consider, is the introduction of "pills" to calm the mind, is case a person come in contact with the "other" side. If a person said that he/she hear voices, Ohhh, my god, is what today people called: Schizophrenia, and a couple of pills will keep those voices away. Well, many times those voices don't go away, and if that person have no knowledge about the "other" side, they will end up at a psychiatry unit.
