Thread Name: BS: Crown Chakra Problems
Subject: RE: BS: Crown Chakra Problems
Richard, I have no idea what super-prions are, so what use would it be for me to venture any opinion on them? ;-)

What in my description of the chakras makes you think they are impossible?

One can see them as a spiritual phenomenon if one wishes...or not, if one wishes. They could be seen just as a nervous system phenomenon if one was not spiritually inclined.

My exitability on the topic indicates that I think you are being a stubborn blockhead about it, merely because you are ignorant of the subject, and it lies outside the list of things you feel comfortable with already and take for granted.

You have no basis for disbelieving in the existence of chakras, regardless of whether or not they are a "spiritual" phenomenon. You have no basis for believing in them either, necessarily. It is you assurance in the disbelief that strikes me as irrational.

There have always been things that only a very few people in this world were aware of at any given time, and that the vast majority of people denied, if asked about it at all. The vast majority can be ignorant, usually are ignorant in many ways, and they can be mistaken. Having numbers on your side in an argument does not necessarily prove that you are right about something. It just proves that you are cleaving to present convention in your particular society...and when you do, most people will agree with you, even if you and they turn out someday to have been totally, 100% wrong.

Ask any scientific pioneer of history about that, and they can provide you with many examples where millions were wrong...and one man or a few men were right.

Do some people have rare abilities? Yes. If you just call such people "deluded", then who is the fool, and who is really the deluded one?

I don't expect you to believe in chakras. I expect you to have an open enough mind to say..."I don't know if there are chakras or not." Because you don't.
