I found a fantastic post at Overcoming Bias. Essentially the author says that we like being ignorant sometimes. We like keeping certain things mysterious, so we perpetuate their mystery.

With all our talk about mistrusting the senses and other dimensions, you might think we at Considering The Universe are exactly the kinds of people described in the Overcoming Bias post. I don’t think so.

There are mysteries in the universe. Where did we come from? Where are we going? The questions can go on and on. Even as science seems to solve one mystery, another pops up. We are always looking for answers and we think you should too. We think there are forces in the universe that are still undiscovered, but if we write them off to God or some other mysterious answer, we remain ignorant.

But ignorance exists in the map, not in the territory. If I am ignorant about a phenomenon, that is a fact about my own state of mind, not a fact about the phenomenon itself. A phenomenon can seem mysterious to some particular person. There are no phenomena which are mysterious of themselves. To worship a phenomenon because it seems so wonderfully mysterious, is to worship your own ignorance. - Overcoming Bias

This is why we encourage you to investigate everything yourself whenever possible. Science is not always right, it takes wrong turns and has to correct itself all the time. There are some forces that science hardly studies, especially paranormal fields that are difficult to quantify. Investigate them yourself. Laura and I are working on our telepathic abilities. Try learning to see auras. Or just start by stopping the hiccups with your mind.

Decide for yourself what is nonsense and what isn’t. Stretch your mind and it’s possibilities. By dogmatically rejecting either science or what still lays beyond it, we are limiting our universe and ourselves. By finding your own answers, you defeat ignorance and embrace knowingness. Explore!
