Mr Dean Sloan puts himself in the possition of wise man who knows what the "ignorants " like me don't know. He talks also about experimental knowledge of all this unreliable "science" that is nothing but unsubstantiated pseudo-mystic nonsense.
Q. Dean Sloan talks about the imaginary, or I should say "personally experienced" entities like
ET Presence, Human soul, crown chakra and egoic lotus. Of course he doesn't talk about the possibility of concrete evidences for this bunch of superstitions. On the contrary, he, calls me "miseducated , mentally inbalanced and cognitive dissonant."
Of course, someone who believes in the existence of extraterrestrial presence, crown chakras and egoic lotus, cannot be called imbalanced but he should give us some EVIDENCE of what he "sees". Of course those who see things that doesn't exist, should talk seriously with a good Doctor.
Back to Dean Sloan's arguments, he give us as "evidence" the pathetic list of fantasists and border-line personalities who try to make a living selling fiction as fact.
About cognitive dissonance, we wrote a lot about this neurotic behaviour here, in UFO culture. Let me include here something I posted about cognitive dissonance and the nonsense industry.
"Is important to recognize the problem of cognitive dissonance, because in the UFO industry we find intelligent individuals whose life must be a permanent contradiction between their convictions and what they write for the public.

Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable
feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously.
The "ideas" or "cognitions" in
question may include attitudes and beliefs, and also the awareness of one's
behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a
motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs,
and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing their attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors.
Dissonance normally occurs when a person
perceives a logical inconsistency among his or her cognitions.
Let’s imagine that someone is forced to do or say
publicly something they privately really don't want to do, dissonance is
created between their cognition (I didn't want to do this) and their behavior
(I did it). Forced compliance occurs when an individual performs an
action that is inconsistent with his or her beliefs.
Now, this cognitive dissonance will have also a great
impact on the social life of the individual affected.
Most probably she or he will became
growingly isolated and loose self-esteem.
If the differences between real and proclaimed
convictions grow, the situation will eventually become critical.
It is probable that individuals forced to remain in such
a cognitive dissonance will “lose their minds.”
Even Insanity is possible for some border line
personalities.
