We know way too much in this world. Opinion masquerades as truth far too often, and now the know-all-Nazis have bloomed on social media, sensible and even knowledgeable people dare not have an opinion. Many have left.
If social media hasn’t taught us that the worst problem in the world is the public, nothing will. Many true thinkers who have the courage not to know have been silenced with threats.
The public truth
Does not exist. You only had to hear the discussion around Brexit to know that.
Cameron, Osbourne and Obama told the truth. Turkey is nowhere near joining the EU, not responsible for our immigration problem (in fact they have an immigration problem), and there’s no trade deal with the US in sight.
What exists and has always existed is opinion and belief masquerading as truth.
Take me for instance, I discovered that I was a medium in the middle of a telephone call when I was 38. Not a clue before that. No ambition to be one. Interested from a distance but that’s all. Then boom! I started knowing things about people that I couldn’t possibly know, about their dead relatives and friends, and I didn’t know how or why.
I trained. I read for strangers. I can do this. I personally believe to my own satisfaction it’s true, and scientific evidence is coming through that certainly makes mediumship possible, and a natural ability available to all.
However, the furthest I’ll go is that I’ve personally concluded through 28 years of experience that it’s real. It’s only my truth. I’ve also learned during that time that there is even more that I don’t know about the universe than I thought I didn’t know.
If you’re interested take a look at scientific findings on non-locality. It’s the latest research on consciousness. It’s not located in the body, it’s not dependent on a body for its existence. Thoughts can travel through space and time faster than the speed of light.

The danger of knowing too much…
…or being too certain is that you close your mind like a rat trap. How can the truth only exist in your head when your thoughts, your sense of being, aren’t even located in your body?
We could improve this world so much if we just stopped thinking that we know everything and our feelings and beliefs constitute truth.
If we put down difference and embraced connection. If we revelled in difference and what it can teach us. If we focussed less on knowing and being right, and more on loving and learning and experiencing.
If we didn’t take pride in spite.
This is the collective we, by the way. No shade of colour in this world and no race or gender is innocent. World history is partly a disgrace. If you think your country never invaded anyone, or no tribe ever attacked another, you’ll probably be wrong, with a few very small exceptions. We are all responsible for the state of this world in way or another.
Let’s start putting it right, starting by not knowing. Not being certain we’re right. Listening more than keyboarding this world towards more violence and unpleasantness, and the kind of division that starts wars and kills millions.
If you think you know you almost certainly don’t, you only know if you know you know, but then most scientists will tell you that things can change.
Let’s stop being scared and start being curious.
