4. Fear of the Unknown
The last general category regarding barriers to psychic evidence deals with the fear of the unknown. This is a primitive and instinctive fear that all people possess on some level.
To illustrate this fear and its relevance to us as human beings, I like to give the following example: Let's imagine that you and a group of people are with me high up in the mountains somewhere. We are all standing in front of a large cave. The mouth of the cave is a large opening leading into utter blackness. The inside of the cave is so dark you cannot see one thing within it. Now imagine that I have instructed you and the group that on the count of three I want all of you to run immediately into the cave.
I count, one....two.....three! What happens? What would you do? What would most people do? Are you likely to just run blindly into the cave. Well, a few people might, but most would not. Fortunately, we are each equipped with some survival instincts that protect us from such foolishness.
Opening up your empathic nature is like venturing into that cave. You may have the curiosity and desire to discover what is in it, but some part of you is not comfortable with stepping into the unknown. The world you live in is primarily a world of perceptions, held together by beliefs and ideas.
Venturing into psychic territory can lead to discoveries that challenge those beliefs and perceptions. This built in protective instinct can also act as a barrier to you accessing your empathic talents. If this is the case for you, then the more you learn the more you will progress.
