Believing Is Seeing – Your Beliefs Shape What You See

Published: Oct. 31, 2016, 12:13 p.m.

In this video I’ll illustrate that believing is seeing; that what we believe and what we value creates a highly subjective visual fabrication of our reality. You have the power to shape your reality.believing is seeing

I’ll use a simple example of my recent car buying process to highlight two main points around the concept of "believing is seeing"

The first is that our brains create stereotypes for everything around us based on our beliefs, our values, and our pre-wired survival mechanisms. These stereotypes have enormous power over our lives and they can be largely subconscious.

The second is that as soon as we associate value to something it we tend to see it everywhere, but before we associate value to something it’s almost impossible to see.

Lastly, I’ll present an experiment to illustrate that our eyes have an enormous blind spot, but we don’t notice it because our brains fill in the missing information with your surroundings.

I hope that after watching this video you’ll understand that you have the power to shape your reality – “Believing is seeing”

what reality are you creating for yourself?


seeing is not believing.....BELIEVING IS SEEING.
