 Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to above life channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope today This video is going to be all about skeptics skepticism cynicism Why it's so hard to believe? Why is it so hard to believe nowadays? All right So I'm going to start this off with one of the comments that was actually caught by one of my spam filters on YouTube Just so you're aware if you are making comments on above life channel here at YouTube There are some things that YouTube will catch like any kind of links some follow language that kind of thing So if you did make a comment and you don't see it, it might be because it got caught in their spam filter So here's one such Comment and sometimes it just catches stuff. I shouldn't catch so it's kind of weird, but anyway, so here's the question All right I'm gonna try not to be sassy because I really don't feel sassy. Well. Yeah, I kind of do feel sassy about this But I'm going to share this because I think it's a legitimate comment it's about believing and Really kind of about skepticism or cynicism Are you for real? That's a comment. Are you for real? Yes. I'm quite real. Thanks. I'm a person just like you as real as you are I'm real How do we know? She says I have been a Freddie Mercury mercury and Queen fan since 1973 I've loved him since I was 13. Some of the channeling you present does not sound like Freddie at all Some of the things you channel through him are not accurate. I Would so love to believe you like so love to believe you And connect with Freddie because he is in my heart, but how do you explain explain your inaccuracies? all right, so This happens a lot In comments to people will say I'm sorry, but or they'll say things like It's really weird it's like passive-aggressive a little bit and I don't think that people do it on purpose I think that that's just how they feel like they're the feelings are coming out Like they're kind of arguing with themselves when they type it like it feels like this woman really wants to believe in the afterlife and Understand that she could communicate with Freddie Mercury for herself So it really doesn't have a lot to do with me except for the fact that maybe because she found my channeling It opened up the possibility for her. So then my work is done. We did it. She's asking questions. She's getting curious that's a good thing you guys and You can clearly see in this particular comment how there's this kind of back and forth with with the energies there And what should I believe and I don't know and I think a lot of people who kind of present present almost as like skeptics or Seem a little bit negative and maybe in some of the comments or things or even in life Okay in the world. It's because they're coming from a place of really not feeling very Sure of themselves and it's not just like a lack of confidence It's not that you guys because a lot of us are not sure of ourselves in different areas of our lives There are parts of my life that I'm not sure myself either. So it's natural, right? It's natural to have those questions or those self-doubts, but We can't give our power away We can't give our power away. You can't go to someone else and say here take my life choices and make decisions for me But so oftentimes we do because we need somebody else to blame or we need somebody else to be responsible because we don't feel like we Qualify we aren't smart enough to make our own choices or we don't trust ourselves Don't trust ourselves to make our own choices to change our values to create our own belief systems We don't trust ourselves and it's not an easy thing to do either sometimes we're in a vacuum of other relationships that are feeding into the negative or our feelings of self-doubt or inadequacy or worthiness so I'm not really like upset by this comment I can clearly see that there is a deep desire for her to have to be able to believe in the afterlife and Yet I also understand that it's not my job to convince people Above life channel is not created to change you to make you believe to give you proof and evidence and Research-based information or a full view of somebody's life. This is not a biography channel It's not about the details and this the specific facts That's not what this channel is about. There are other channels and other Great resources journalism resources and things like that that if you want to learn about history of people Then you can go there to do that and there are also other channels that are very spiritual based and religion based and and That are all about helping people to find it in find their way to Believing in higher power or finding their way to believing in a God or a source or a prime creator Or whatever that higher power is that you would call like a God, right a higher consciousness and So but that's not what above life channel is either it's to inspire your spirit to fill you with hope Because this is your life so live it so I'm not going to take on the responsibility to Change your belief systems, but I will challenge them Because of just the nature of the conversations I have because there's such a variety of celebrities that we talk to in the afterlife And they give just an incredibly vast Array of information and insight that we can use Whether or not you liked that celebrity it doesn't matter because that liking them or not liking them approving them or disapproving them is A judgment piece That if you are doing that already and not watching a video because you didn't like that person that should give you an opportunity for learning You should get curious about that because that is resistance my friends That's what keeps you from being happy in other areas of your life that resistance that judgment that oh I don't like them. They think they're too good. What part of you feels that way? What part of you are you actually criticizing in that feeling and that thought because you are criticizing yourself Not that person It will block you and create barriers for you and it's just an excuse for you to ignore your own life opportunities for advancement for self-development and for personal growth and that's your choice too I'm not here to convince you that you should be a better person But part of my job as a psychic life coach and as a psychic medium is To help you to feel better to acknowledge through awareness that you have the capacity to feel better When you feel better you do better But you have to be willing to show up for yourself and build the relationship with yourself and trust your own intuition and Open your mind in a way that allows you to create Your life instead of being a victim or a follower of your life path Experience you can create it instead of giving away your power to other people to convince you of something to change your mind You got to do it for yourself. You got to do it for yourself. That's where the power is. That's where the empowerment is All right, that was see that was an awesome comment and I have to say that I'm sure a lot of people do feel that way, right? And if I have the power to change people's minds and opinions, oh, I should totally be running for political office I mean seriously right All right, all right, so as far as Skeptics or being skeptical. I think that people who Present that way. I think that it just shows that maybe they're coming from a place of Having a deeper desire to really want to grow or want to learn or maybe they really just want to understand some things and their life Experience has created resistance obstacles barriers where they felt Like they didn't have power or they were even in a victim mode Maybe they've had some abuse or some pain or some experiences where they can't trust other people and they sure as heck Can't trust themselves because it was their judgment that put them into relationships with other people where they gave a second chance a third chance A tenth chance and they just kept getting hurt over and over again So the skepticism comes from like a pattern or a cycle a belief system that isn't Isn't a hundred percent healthy for that person isn't isn't totally in support of that person's best greatest good Okay, that's where it's coming from and so there's a part of all of us that have that that push things away that that That really really want acceptance or really really want to understand but then also don't want to understand because then that means I have to change and that might mean I have to be more accountable and responsible and I already feel like I have I'm overloaded with life. So there's a lot of things that can create skepticism But underneath that there is a desire to want to understand. There is a desire to want to feel better and so We just have to accept that that's part of reality But I won't respond to people who are skeptics or who who question like why I don't I'm not very like specifically detail-oriented because I've all also addressed that my details or my facts and that kind of a thing When I'm doing a channeling session, I've addressed that multiple times and multiple videos that I'm human. That's just the way it is so and there's lots of other resources biographies and news channels and journalists Journalism and books and all that stuff that if you're interested in information for people like that, then you can find that on your own That's not what I do here at above life channel Hey, thanks so much for watching and make a note in the comment below if there is any kind of insight you have about the topic of skepticism or about kind of this this feeling of Why should I believe why should I believe you are you for real that kind of a thing and So maybe you might want to kind of reflect on that a little bit. Maybe share in the comments below This is Bridget. It's been my pleasure to connect with you today. Remember at above life channel The job is to inspire your spirit.
