In the Western world most of us tend to ignore, and even to repress from consciousness, phenomena that do not fit the belief encapsulated in the tenet of classical empiricism, “There is nothing in the mind that was not first in the eye.” This is a powerful belief, and it is likely to limit the occurrence of ITC to people who either have a natural disposition to receiving information of nonsensory origin or are able to open their minds sufficiently not to repress the intuitions they may occasionally receive. The myth of sense-reductionist empiricism affects most segments of Western society.
