Still, many people over 18 dismiss the concept of psychic phenomena because of what they see in the media without ever looking into the subject. Many others may believe in psychic stuff but think it to be evil or demonic mainly because of thier religion's influence. And then there are the few that believe in it but do nothing, and a minute amount that actually practice psionics.

And if they do...so what? People will treat us differently....like a different race. They'll want us dead...or they'll want to hurt us...we won't be accepted...and all for one major misconception. P.S. That Lady was Dark-sided. Freak.

What i am saying is that some religions preach that psionics is demon worship or evil or the people who do them will go to hell or things like that and the people just follow the religion like sheep not thinking about any of it.

I used to think that I was an outcast for believing and practicing this stuff... then I finally got the balls to ask around. It turns out that most people do believe in this stuff, although few actually practice. And it's not that hard to get them to understand why we practice. Usually my conversation goes something along the lines of: "well... you know how you have gut feelings about people right away?" "yeah" "I believe that the 'gut feeling' is a skill just like anything else, and you can learn to get better at it" "oh that makes sense" *shrugs* ~Sean There are actually a lot more psions then you think out there. The psipog community is a very small chunk. Most people believe but the psions are the ones who actually go track down the good information. The reason why the media dosen't talk about it is because psions don't come out in public much. They're afraid to reveal themselves when really many people are psions and many more believe.

About her talking about astrology, appearantly it's a fact that religion is mostly based on astrology. Video google "the naked truth" if you know where i'm coming from.
