If it's out of your reality, it's not like you would know the difference anyway So you can believe that all you want in your lonely Universe

I like this Bashar fellow. He is very entertaining, and he sends us a positive message.

I think when it comes to the consensus environment, the belief in which the majority holds as absolute would gain precedence. Stuff like gravity we are indoctrinated to accept at a young age.
Are you suggesting that babies are kept anchored to the planet until they've been thoroughly convinced that they don't need to be?

Something like that. When babies are born into the world they may come in with some preconceived beliefs in order to support growth early on.

I'd imagine something like that isn't provable in an empiracal sense, at least not yet. Perhaps an encounter with a Grey alien, and seeing what a human would look like hundreds of years in the future after he has destroyed his Earth, would be proof enough?
It probably would be proof enough, but I want proof now, I don't want to wait for the future!
