Re: "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" How COULD someone "not want to know"?????

Most people do NOT like to have their beliefs challenged (as I'm sure you know :(
(((But to be absolutely proven WRONG? That not only means they're wrong about one thing (fluoride) but it also means they could be wrong about a VAST amount of things...which means they have to somehow admit they could be wrong about virtually everything they *know* is true. Even though this may not be a conscious thought, our subconscious will do everything it can to keep us from 'going there'.

Very few people want to 'go there'...and even less understand why they DON'T WANT TO.

Even on CZ, it's a rare person that actually relishes in being proven to be wrong...even when they claim they are 'truth seekers'. A select few have come to the emotional/egoic/spiritual (?) maturity to realize that being proven wrong, means that one less 'toxin' is in their mind and they get to replace it with something pure and real. And even those of us that do, sometimes still find it somehow 'harsh' to accept without some kind of a struggle.)))


Unyquity, How right you are! The ego is a horribly deceitful thing. Not wanting to be found wrong in the presence of another is one thing, but..... It even causes us to REFUSE to search for truth in the privacy of our "aloneness" within ourselves. We can't even willingly look in a mirror and say "you've been wrong". And yes, often times it is a struggle, and yet other times it's like a lightbulb and the reaction is like "OH, I knew that all along, it was just buried too deep."
