How to Uncover Your False Beliefs

In my very first video post I talk about false beliefs.  In this case these are your mental blocks that hold you back.  These are the areas in your life that you don’t know that you don’t know. Landmark Education spends a good portion of their education exploring this:  what you don’t know you don’t know.

In this video, I’m going to show you exactly what I mean by a false belief or what I like to call a “blind spot.”  Specifically, I’m going to give you an exercise to demonstrate what a blind spot really is.  The exercise was taken from The Holographic Universe ~ Michael Talbot

Here’s the 2nd video:

Text Instructions – Holographic Universe Exercise (in video):

To demonstrate how our brains construct what we perceive as reality, hold the illustration at eye level, close your left eye, and stare at the circle in the middle of the grid with your right eye.  Slowly move your head back and forth along the line of your vision until the star vanishes (about 10 – 15 inches).  The star disappears because it is falling on your blind spot.  Now close your right eye and stare at the star.  Move back and forth until the circle in the middle of the grid vanishes.  When it does, notice that although the circle disappears, all the lines of the grid remain intact.  This is because your brain is filling in what it thinks should be there. ~ Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe

    I had an incredibly difficult time with this. I understand the concept of visual blind spots and optical illusions. Some work well for me (I can see http://www.optillusions.com/dp/1-17.htm and http://www.optillusions.com/dp/1-26.htm just fine) but for some reason this exercise didn’t do anything but give me a headache.

    Does the books author go on to detail anything regarding this issue of it not working?

    I should note that I do have astigmatism in both eyes, which could be the factor causing the issue.

    Hey Brandon –

    the most important thing is to keep your eye distance between you and the monitor between 6-10 inches; otherwise you’ll miss the blind spot. Give it a go and let me know what happens….

    oh! the star and the circle do go away at one point of distance…from that point, if you go closer or farther to the screen, the image starts to appear like the moon does!

    okay, hence proved…I have blind spots!! …now what?!

    Take these two steps:

    1. Get present to the beliefs stopping you
    2. Get present to their impact on your life; ie. how they are holding you back
