3335. Today and yesterday I sensed an aura of disbelief, namely of those who do not want to believe any of the things said and seen, when I would be arranging the things seen under their general headings. In the world these are commonly called "skeptics," because they believe nothing, nor will they believe anything that is told about the other life, or about auras. There are many such people, and they derive from fantasies [this attitude] that they do not want to believe anything but what they see, or grasp by the senses. So as long as they are steeped in this incredulity, they believe nothing.
