Yes, definitely!

I really wouldn't mind it; i just want to know the truth, whatever it is.

I only adopted the skepticist lens because that is the lens that i found to be the nearest to truth, but if it is stopping me to see a clearer and more full reality, then i wouldn't hesitate at all to drop it. Maybe my world would be put upside down, but i would still want it.


But all my past flirtations with the spiritual world and the subjective reality concept and anything supernatural for that matter have not given me any results.

So it's a real stretch to suspend my current "skepticism lens" (which i still call realism) and try new things (that i've already tried before, with no success). But i can and will do it, again, with more conviction and persistence this time. Why, if i find a new reality, it's more than worth it. Let's see the results.


I just need to know one thing. How can i drop, deep down, the "skeptic lens"? How to trust the universe or the spiritual world enough to make them do their work in showing me a wider reality? Just doing what you said and asking the universe to show me what "i've been filtering out" will not be enough i'm afraid, as i've tried similar things in the past but nothing really happened. I either haven't really dropped the "skeptic lens" (which, mind you, is the alternative i hope to be true. i would love to know of the existence of a spiritual world) or there really isn't anything else out there. I do have an open mind, but i still never experience anything supernatural, so if the spiritual world does exist, what am i missing to be able to experience it?
