Our Aesmowe and Idrcilnebe Mnid

I'm constantly amazed at the versatility and power of the human mind and how it is so wonderfully able to adapt to whatever curve balls we throw at it. It seems it is wired and programmed to do "whatever it takes" to make sure that we are able to comprehend meaning and messages.

Every now and then I come across little quizzes or examples that prove just what our minds are capable of doing ... and here is one that I'd love to share. It's pretty cool...

Thanks so much to my friend and fellow hypnotist, Marie Rossborough, for sharing this with me!
