LOL. Well done Erin. Couldn't have done it better myself.
It's can be so frustrating trying to prove anything to anyone who doesn't want it proven. What cracks me up is that when I used to be unsure about Psychic abilities I too had my doubts. But instead of going around and calling all psychic people charlatan idiots who think the world is flat, I decided to test it out. I got a few readings done, (including one from Erin) and it only took three readings to get total and undeniable validation for me that psychic abilities can exist.
What's funny is that this doesn't just happen with Psychic and Spiritual stuff either. Sometimes when I tell people that there is a guy named Steve Pavlina that makes $40,000 PER MONTH by running a Blog, I've had people tell me "Hogwash... nobody makes that much money Blogging...he's lying..." Then if I tell them "Yeah, but why wouldn't he make that much? I just recently got my Blog going and I made over $700 last month, do you think I'm lying?" they're like "Yeah, but that's $700... that's a far cry from $40k/month..."
Then, if you ever do prove to them by showing them pictures or explaining how Blogging works and all that, they typically say "Oh, he's lucky..."
or
"Oh, well of course he makes that kind of money, he was the first one to do it ever, the first ones always make all the money..."
or any number of 12893723847 excuses they have in their brains.
Lack of belief isn't just related to psychic phenomena, I hear it all the time from people when talking to them about money related stuff. I make it my area of study to see how people are making money on the Internet, and 90% of the time people don't believe me when I say that this person makes $40k/month and this person made $800,000 in affiliate commissions in 4 months, and that person makes X / month working 1hour a day from home, etc.
Basically, people get to the point where they have their own set of beliefs, and anything that anyone else has to say that doesn't match that set of beliefs must be hogwash. What a limited way to live your life.
I personally love it when people challenge my beliefs. Even if it drives me nuts at first. Polarization is a great example. I wanted to throw rocks at Steve when he first starting bring that crap up... It screwed everything up! Took me over a year to finally integrate it into my thinking.
