"Scientific" Resistances
"Many people have difficulty wrapping their minds around the possibility of infinite, unlimited mind, with all that that implies, because this opens up the door not only for premonitions, but for a whole host of other inexplicable phenomena." (Dr Mercola)
"I have yet to meet a skeptic who has read even a handful of the relevant studies," Dr Dossey says. "Their typical strategy is to find one flawed study… and then generalize to condemn the whole field. This is an embarrassment to science. That's just not the way science should be done.
"I collect statements from skeptics and some of them are just downright humorous. My favorite is a skeptic who said, "This is the sort of thing I wouldn't believe even if it were true."
"I always keep that one handy because I think it just captures the ideological, dogmatic, prejudicial, bigoted response of most skeptics toward these issues we're talking about."
Best Attitude:
- Think for yourself.
- Keep an open mind.
- Update your knowledgebase from time to time as new evidence emerges.
