Acharya Prashant explains that people are easily convinced by pseudo-scientific concepts like energy healing and vibrations because they do not lead lives of truth. Most individuals live in a state of mental haze, lacking the sharpness and curiosity to question their own decisions and motivations. Over time, people develop stakes in their own falseness, making inquiry dangerous because it might reveal that years of investment in a particular lifestyle or belief have been a waste. This preference for remaining mistaken becomes a default mode of functioning, where the ego prioritizes the status quo over the discomfort of reality.
