    There are two kinds of people in the world, those that want to know, and those that want to believe.
    I am the former.

    • I want to know everything – mostly. There are some things, the very dark things, that I prefer not to think about.

      • Well, I certainly understand the sentiment expressed there. My concern is that when we filter the truth, we are vulnerable to control. Myself, I tend to pace myself, when facing dark truth’s, or potential truth’s that I would rather not be true, but i feel an obligation to myself, my family and all of humanity to dip in there anyway. Many of the scariest of truths that i learned in the past, are no longer scary, but are just a part of the fabric of reality, which now help me with life decisions that i otherwise would not have made that ultimately serve me in a very real sense.

        • I used to think the same way, and would go and investigate as much as possible. Then one day I realised that finding out about one dark thing led to the next dark thing and on it went. All in the name of investigative enquiry. When I found myself encircled by the dark stuff, too much of it, I felt a big part of me was suffocating. I think the dark has a way of enticing us to enter it and our natural curiosity often keeps us there, usually with some form justification or reasoning that seems logical and right. Nowadays I pray for protection and then follow my gut – the visceral rejection is for me always a stop sign. But there are definitely things that I will just not look at, just in case my gut has also been tricked.

          • Yes, that awareness you have, BlueWren, is really important because it allows you to observe and learn without investing in that which you observe. It’s an important ability. It’s important to recognize and understand the dark stuff. It’s equally important not to invest. Asking for guidance and protection is a good idea.
