I remember watching a documentary about someone who used Remote Veiwing to read the future for stock tips, showed him doing it and his results. Sure he might just be good with stocks. The point being, this type of thing isn’t unheard of.
No, they really wouldn’t. Alot of stigma has come through the centuries because of acts that the average person can’t do. They have been burned, tortured and killed because they were demons, possessed or witches. These were powers of God and normal men shouldn’t have them.
While we may not be in those times, the stigma has changed to ridicule. Less deadly but still destructive.
The same could be said about Lucid Dreaming, not everyone does it and many still don’t believe it’s possible. They may even try it, but their failure adds to the mentality “I can’t do it, therefore it mustn’t be true.”
Same can be said of Remote Viewing, APing and OBEing, although everyone can do it with practice and dedication, it doesn’t come easy so people give up and chose to believe it’s not really possible. Other’s just outright don’t believe it. Take this thread for exmaple. Lucidity and AP piculum said: Finally, remote viewing is something impossible and as there is no clear evidence. But not to long ago, they were saying the exact same thing about LDing.
So there are many reasons people won’t do it, greed will make people try (lottery) as might curiousity, some will fail and believe it wasn’t really possible, others will think the very idea is proposterous even when given the limited proof one can give.
Some and probably a small handful at that, I know I don’t care and in truth, I can’t think of anyone else who does care what may happen to it, except maybe yourself. (i’m sure there’s some)
All in all, I am open to the possibility. But as I said in my last post, I don’t think the future is predetermined so even if you did go forward many things could be wrong by the time we get there in the physical world.
Though, now you mention the Earth, I am curious if anyone has tried to go back and see how the universe started. It never would have occured to me to try it otherwise.
