~seeing is believing or seeing is deceiving~

George Carlin said:
‘Tell people there’s an invisible man in the sky and most people will believe it. Tell them the paint is wet and they have to touch it to be sure.’

He’s right. It’s true. It works that way. We, people do that. But why? Why do we have to test it when the subject gets more physical? Probably it’s because we’ve learned that we first have to see before we believe and we also believe what we see. It’s only when we cannot see, we (try to) believe.

As a kid we learn that we first have to see before we believe something. And off course we believe this because we see the examples. Mom sees good greats en believes you’re doing ‘good’ at school. You’ll get rewarded and you learn that this way of thinking it is true.

When we grow older we learn the opposite. We learn that seeing is not always believing and could also be decieving. It’s funny because it’s just now that i realize that most of the things they tell us when we were young we then think are not true, are true and the other way around, the things they tell us what we think are true turn out to be not. Think about it…

Mom tells you ‘its just in your head’ and your like NO! it’s not. But later it turns out that it is. Because the problem is in your mind and now when we are older we really begin to understand the mind. So finally we understand what mom was really saying and realize that she was right. Or when they used to tell you at school that you have to have a career to be able to buy a home and to have a family, so that you can be happy.You believed this because you saw it all around you. And now, years laters you’ll do the re-thinking and figure out the opposite.

Still most people first need to see before they believe.Also..
people believe what they see. This is our problem.
We hold on to what we see. And it’s not weird because this is what we’ve learned.
If  you’ll do it the other way around, believing before seeing, people will think it’s weird and you’re weird because that’s not what they learned.

So what if you’ll figure out that you can see without seeing? Do we then still have to see before we believe? Can we then do some re-thinking and maybe change the way of our thinking? When i was young i also thought this way (we learned) was true. Untill i realized  that when i was dreaming i also was seeing without actually seeing. My conclusion was that i did not had to hold on to what i see because there are more ways of seeing. So why do we first have to see before we believe? If you can see without seeing?
