magical thinking

RE: magical thinking
@ KichigaiNeko - Think about affirmations. Our brain only consciously processes a very small portion of our surrounding. Why if you write down your goals 15 times a day do you start to "see" more opportunities to accomplish those goals. Perceptual accentuation says that we see what we want to see. If we're keeping our true wants and desires in front of our conscious mind there is a higher degree that we'll notice more of that item. I posted somewhere in another thread about doing a perception experiment, but can't be bothered to find it at this time. Mentalists twist the psyche to make you think a certain way all the time. You're concept of what is perceptually real is not nearly as static as a lot of people believe.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
