There is a lot I could say here, but I have to be careful not to come across as condescending or insulting. I think a lot of it is that - if we're honest - many people who are involved in so-called spiritual work are in some ways pretty gullible anyway. Because they lack discernment, they are unable to distinguish the phantoms and fears created by their own minds from actual information that they get psychically, so they believe whatever comes into their heads without vetting it in any way. That bleeds over into their real lives, and they just accept what they are told without questioning it because that's what they're accustomed to doing in their "spiritual" work. Not all of them, of course, but because we do deal with information from unknown sources on a daily basis, we have to become skeptics and learn how to interpret what we get in light of the 3D world we're living in. Some people forget that skepticism is often a good thing, and should be encouraged.
Yes I agree with discernment very much.
I also think that is applicable with discerning information on social media as well - especially with the amount of made up stuff circulating on there about election fraud and vaccinations. A lot of people think a post they have seen on Facebook for example is more truthful than any other verified source of information and this is now crossing over into science, and a lot people are falling into the trap of denying reality, such as the coronavirus being fake, and choosing to believe whatever they want.
I feel as we move into 2021 and beyond, we are seeing more of the breaking down of the main pillars of society - with religion, politics, science etc. I don't think they will be completely broken away, but they will certainly be revamped in some way.
