Healthy open-minded, open-hearted skepticism is a very good thing. And yet too often skepticism becomes a form of narcissistic encapsulation that says,
“Within my understanding and experience, if I can’t find personal evidence for this, if it is not within the range of my experience, understanding, concepts or beliefs, if it is not the way I choose to see things, then it can’t possibly be so. Therefore anyone who has an experience or a capacity outside the range of my understanding, outside the range of my experience must be a fraud, deluded or a liar.”
Do not mistake this for skepticism. It is narcissistic encapsulation.
The question to ask ourselves is, “Am I being skeptical… or am I just being narcissistic?” Hmmmm.
It is often wise to abide simply in not knowing.
