Humans like to debunk. I don't think it's the point at all to prove or disprove the so-called validity of something. The idea of debunking is one-dimensional and narrow-minded. Much like the idea that there is no right or wrong—there are only cultural, societal, personal, religious, etc. paradigms that arbitrarily decide what is acceptable. I like to stay open-minded, without resistance, so information can freely flow through me; to that end I don't have "beliefs," only "working theories."

For example, I really like Carlos Castaneda's body of work. I don't care at all that he has been extensively debunked. I find enormous value in his books. On the other hand, I'm not a follower or sycophant of Carlos Castaneda. People ask if the Ra Material is real. I don't care about that; I only care that it resonates and I find value in it. 

I encourage everyone to throw off the shackles of (limited-thinking, biased, self-serving, arbitrary, manipulative…) public opinion and think, feel, discern for one's self. Just one glance at history and it will prove how valueless public opinion is. Moreover (whether or not a thing is real, besides the nonsensical nature of such a question because ultimately, what is real?), if an individual learns something form a thing, no matter what that thing is, then that thing is of value to the individual. 

This existence of 3D space and a linear construct of time is something we need to navigate effectively while here. But it doesn't have to be a prison for thought, or for those who seek higher understandings of existence.
