You found my old blog. Thanks for visiting! For my new writing, visit mikesententia.com.
This week I posted a double-blind placebo-controlled sigil testing.
In the days before posting it, I encountered more resistance than I have in years. The whole point of science is that it can tell you if you’re wrong, and choosing to honestly test a precious belief is a bit like choosing to walk face first into a wall — there’s an enormous urge to stop short.
But after posting it, I feel light, confident, liberated. For years, I’ve known I should be approaching my work this way. Finally doing it feels amazing.
Please try the test. It takes about 15 minutes, including reading the post.
For those of you encountering resistance: I get it, I really do. Testing brings up every doubt we have, every time we’ve feared none of this is real, or that we’re simply not good at it. Take your time, feel into that resistance, accept it as part of yourself. Then do the work. Because on the other side of that wall is peace and confidence. That’s what proper testing does for us, that’s the reward for facing the resistance.
And thank you to everyone who participated already, and everyone who will in the coming weeks!
(And to those of you who are active on discussion groups or have your own blog, please share the project. Thank you!)
