Scepticism - (1409)

Scepticism and Mythomania: Opposites

There on one side is scepticism and defeatism and then on the other side is mythomania. If we bring the two together we get realism.


At the Base of Scepticism

We can’t be sceptical about something that we didn’t know before. Right here is the earth shaking truth that can shake a sceptic out of his or her scepticism.

Scepticism is something of a subconscious force or rejection that directs the mind into finding reasons why something cannot be. This force uses the mind to not find any valid reason to believe to accept. If it were not for this subconscious force of scepticism the mind would rest in its calm honest conclusion of “I don’t know, could be, I just don’t know, Maybe I need to investigate and find out really truthfully.”. Whereas the sceptical person just plainly rejects the possibility.


Scepticism and Past Pain or Disappointment

The subconscious force of behind scepticism comes from some previous painful history.

We become sceptical about something that caused us pain, disillusionment and disappointment before.

Scepticism is due to a past failure or a past painful disappointment.


Believing and Scepticism

The aim of the esoteric schools is to make its students non-believers but knowers instead. The esoteric schools wish to make us to know about God directly. God is not about believing. This point alone is sufficient to break the foundation of scepticism.

End (1409).
