Culures and civilizations far older than our western one for some reason (pun intended) routinely observe phenomena that we don't see and matter of factly hold beliefs that we don't accept. Our materialistic world scoffs at reincarnation, clairvoyance, remote 'viewing', auras, and yes, chakras. Wonder why that is?

Is it possible that the differences might be analgous to a child's knowledge as compared with that of an adult?
