Common Sense and Smells of Occultism

There are still many of our people who believe in occult things. This belief perches on all elements of society. From those with low education to the university level. Believing in occult things is natural, it becomes strange when it is believed by those who are highly educated. This is because higher education requires high rational abilities, while what is occult is completely contrary to rationality.

I recently had a massage by someone who claimed to have supernatural abilities. From reading the future to communicating with supernatural beings. An extraordinary talent. But common sense said that was absurd. If he's that good, why is he a masseuse by profession?

He talked a lot about this self. Yes, some are right and some are wrong. As a guess. Although most of his guesses are correct, I don't just take it for granted. If such capabilities existed, why didn't the intelligence services recruit them? Indeed, there was a project to gather indigo people in the intelligence services. However, the project failed because it turned out that the forecasts were inaccurate.

After all, if it was true that back in the days of the kingdom many magic people had extraordinary abilities, why was this nation being colonized? They said they were being pitted against each other. Isn't that strange? If you can predict the future, why did the old kingdoms want to be pitted against each other? I guess it doesn't make sense either.

If it were true that supernatural abilities existed, they would still be defeated by western nations that prioritized rationality. So, in conclusion, common sense is superior to supernatural abilities. I do not mean to deify reason, I am also aware that reason still has limits. However, for understanding the world, reason seems to be a more precise instrument than the others at present.

If we want to look a little deeper, then we will find the fact that occult things are rife in poor areas. The poorer the area, the more heresy is believed. Yes, being poor doesn't always mean bad. Maybe, worldly things are not the orientation of people who explore the world of the occult.

Indonesia, which thrives on occult things, is only a developing country. Still far from developed countries. Far from being the welfare state. Indeed, colonialism had a long effect. Until now, there are still many Indonesian people who have a colonial mentality.

At least, if the occult was real and great, the achievements of Indonesian football would not be as bad as now. The occult is incapable of crossing the ocean, he says? After all, we still lost the Asian Cup in Indonesia. There are very few human resources to be proud of in Indonesia.

The facts that happened made him even more sceptical about such things. Our mentality is still that of a colonized nation, so we still believe in such things. How our fate will be in the future depends entirely on how we are today. For me, life is not influenced by occult things, let alone creatures that are said to be waiting for us. Not.

The only supernatural things that should be trusted are those that question divinity. This is because, after all, God is in an area that is incomprehensible to reason or the occult. It is beyond all dimensions that humans can understand. To quote the great medieval philosopher, Thomas Aquinas: "The last limit of our ability about God is that we know nothing about God."
