Power of the Mind

Two things (or three things depending on how you look at it)

1. I've always believed the mind is powerful. I've also believed that whatever you believe is true. And it is. If you believe that people are talking to you or plotting against you or there is a butterfly whispering in your ear (not made-up, it happens-- NOT TO ME) Then it's true, for you, which makes it true, but perhaps not true in the same reality that the majority of us are living in (or would it be minority?).

1.5. Anyway, I was watching "White Collar"




which is a show that would take too long to explain, but basically a guy looks in the newspaper, sees that some people are wanting a park in their neighbourhood and so while being undercover as the person that helps politicians get out of tight spots, tells him to deny that there is a sports centre being built on some random empty land and also deny that anything is happening, but say if it was then he would support a park and kind of like not make sense like that-- but basically in the end this guy who had nothing to do with anything (but is amazing, because he's so charming and he gets whatever he wants, whenever he wants it ~Like Sean from Psych!) managed to make a park come true (unintentionally-- the point of the episode wasn't about the park that was just his way of getting the politican to trust him) out of thin air.

He said at some point in the episode something about:
"But there is no plan for a park. You can't just make one up." -his grumpy partner
"Who says it's make-believe? If the public believes it, it is true."

How true are those words?

2. I found this guy on youtube that is a 'psychologist' or something I-don't-know that is CRAZY AWESOME. He does two experiments that I tried that work like magic.

I LOVE IT.
