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.
