Why do people ignore Prophecy? - Jon O'Sullivan - Irish Pagan School

[@Kait-i6w]

I don't know if you've ever heard of the psychology term "reactance," but in my experience, it plays a *big* part in why people often do not heed warnings (whether they are prophetic or scientific in nature). As something of a Cassandra myself (not in a mystical sense so much as a "good at pattern recognition" sense), understanding that particular human tendency has helped bring me a measure of peace with those moments when people seem to seek guidance, then outright reject it in favor of actions that give them the illusion of control. In any case, knowing that reactance is a common human response makes those stories where prophecies are outright ignored or even fought against that much more believable! 😄

I hope you both enjoy your Samhain 🥃 Sláinte. I was going to say this on the last video but I couldn't because of the comments being turned off

Go back and read your and Lora’s answers now and again when I’ve asked to keep me honest and sometimes I’m not ready fullout but starting to ask the questions but it is a first step and learning to accept need to regurgitate it a couple of times to also be able to accept/ allow and to trust myself.

I'm a John born in Sheffield, half Irish and get what you're talking about. The levels of growth come slowly and are forged in fire (hard times). People will take advantage of you being a seer and warrior of the creator, but they will get their comeupance...guaranteed, even though retribution and justice shouldn't be your main focus.

I an both the Hunter and the pray, the disappointing result of misplaced expectations. The joy of knowing too much sorrow. I didn't exist yesterday nor will I tomorrow

In my experience it is that people do not understand the guidance. This question is why don't people accept good advice? Well maybe they dont have the tools to act upon the advice we give them. What can I do now to improve this situation has a diff answer for all.

Please, go to the woods. Listen ,and look, sit down against the Oak with the crook, then clear your mind and wait for understanding, for sooner reather than later it shall be landing! This is the key to all of it I believe, no Ive nothing up my sleeve.

A good answer is because most of the predictions never happen. Edgar Cayce stated that Atlantis would rise in the late 1960s. It didn't. Cayce stated that the West Coast of the US would be under the sea. It isn't. Nostradamus's prophecies can be interpreted in so many different ways that there is no proof whatsoever.

John 3:19-20 answers your question!

Most of the bible is total nonsense
