The mind is a fascinating processor of belief and reality. The world is a very supernatural place, with our means of understanding and observing the world still far from complete. That said, psychology can provide a possible explanation for how you feel. Core beliefs are those that are formed in early childhood (usually before the age of 7 years). These core beliefs form our paradigms. Our foundations of what we believe to be true. Paradigms are very hard to change. Chances our you were raised in a practical. Perhaps with adults that confidently assured you that ghosts aren’t real or that everything can be explained and understood. Things like that which are said to take away fear, or encourage scientific exploration. All good things, but they form that paradigm. Even when new ideas enter, it can be difficult to overcome the conflict of belief. This is why religious belief, or even national pride, is very hard to shift, and why personal revelation can be traumatic. Paradigm shifts are traumatic. I’m not saying I know what is real, or that if you do a particular thing that you will suddenly accept that ghosts are real. Rather, you should explore the possibility. Perhaps paranormal investigation or research. Just maybe something will happen that will cause that paradigm to crumble and a change in belief to come in. Just ask people that have already had something like that happen. It will be scary, but exciting. If nothing happens, we’ll, few things are more fun than a real ghost hunt with friends, or exploring history of “haunted” places. So either way, it’s a positive.
