What I find interesting on this thread is the unconscious theme

of " Perception is projection " .

 

Or expressed a bit differently, " one cannot see anything outside of

you which isn't you " .

 

Of the 2 million bits of infor/sec that our unconsious minds are

aware of (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi- " Flow " ) the conscious mind seems to

end up processing with it's VAKOG only 7 + or - 2 chunks of info,

which translates loosely to about 134 bits of info.

 

Massive amounts of info is just deleted.

 

So the consciousness flashlights of our minds perceive different

things based upon what's already in them and where that flashlight of

perception is aimed...

 

Any data that seems to be incongruent with that older perceptual

filter is not noticed or is deleted as untrue, or unnecessary, or as

nonsense.

 

Because of those internal mental blue prints installed by family,

education and mentors we look for certain things that are similar to

what we already believe...and that's what we get.

 

If one does not believe in meridians on in TCM, they'll get

reinforcement of that perception.

 

They will only notice articles that will support their distortion

(perceptual filter).

 

That is, until there is massive pain.

 

Massive pain comes in many different ways.

 

Quoting Steve Wells quoting Frank Farelly, " When the pain begins, the

learning starts! "

 

Frank is also on record as saying: " I don't know how many more of

these learning experiences I can handle... "

 

Quoting Edgar Cayce, " We are never given more than we can handle " .

 

I think I go along with Farelly more than Cayce.
