Why People Get Mad About Psychic Phenomena

"Truth hurts," or so I've heard.

I've been openly discussing paranormal & psionic phenomena, drawing from both direct experience and scientific research on the subject, for over a year now.

And one thing I've learned from taking on this mantle, is that it makes some people mad.
Like, MAD-mad.
I don't think there's an insult to my intelligence or sanity that I haven't taken yet.

But I find these reactions grossly disproportionate to what it is that I'm saying.

Because why do you care if I think people can fly? Honestly why? You know you can block me, right? I could be an avatar on your screen who means nothing as soon as you navigate away from my posts, but you're taking me so personally instead, for God knows what reason.

If my area of focus seems absurd to you and consequently makes you upset... I invite you to ask yourself this: Would you be this nasty towards a child who insists that the sky is lime green with pink polka dots?

No (I hope), because you know what they're saying is obviously not true, and their silly statement has no bearing on your reality whatsoever. You might get impatient with them, sure, but angry at them? Mean-spirited? Over something you know is absurd?

You probably agree that feeling angry at absurdities is at best a waste of energy, and at worst a sign of some deeper issue within you. So why the actual temper tantrums in response to me saying, "Humans have the dormant capacity to communicate telepathically"? Or, "Immortality is possible"?

Here's my theory:

People tend to get mad at an idea when that idea strikes a nerve. When there's cognitive dissonance inside of them that forces them to re-evaluate their perspective.

So on some level, I think you KNOW you're powerful beyond measure, and my words are triggering because they're re-minding you of something you forgot a long time ago. Maybe even many lives ago.

I think my writing about spiritual power hurts because you know you are capable of far more than whatever it is you're currently doing.

And if that's the case, all I ask of you is not to shoot the messenger.

I come in peace.
