Flat Earth: Why This Ancient Belief Still Has Followers Today

Why Do Some People Still Believe the Earth Is Flat? The belief that the Earth is flat might seem like a relic of ancient times, but it continues to thrive in certain communities even in the 21st century. While modern science provides overwhelming evidence for a spherical Earth—from satellite imagery to astronomical observations—some individuals persistently challenge these findings. What drives people to reject centuries of scientific advancements and embrace flat Earth theories instead?

What Is the Mirror Principle?

What Is the Mirror Principle? The Mirror Principle is a transformative concept that suggests your external reality is a direct reflection of your internal state. In other words, the thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and intentions you hold within yourself shape the world you experience around you. It’s not the world that creates your image but rather your inner world projecting itself outward, much like a mirror reflects back exactly what it sees. Think of it this way: if you stand in front of a mirror and frown, the reflection frowns back. The mirror doesn’t change your expression—it simply reflects what’s presented to it. Similarly, your external circumstances are shaped by what’s happening inside you. Whether it’s your relationships, career, or daily interactions, the energy you project tends to attract corresponding experiences. The Core Idea The principle challenges the common perception that […]
