“Facts can be used to seek to change perceptions but in the end people can only act on their individual perceptions.”
― Edward de Bono, Teach Yourself to Think

“Can we, after all, love someone who seems to us to be perfect, someone who seems to us to have everything? Isn’t it often the case that although we may be fascinated or captivated by someone who appears to have only good qualities, we only begin to love him or her from the moment we suspect that he or she is somewhat (if not deeply) unhappy, quite clueless about something, rather awkward, clumsy, or helpless? Isn’t it in his or her nonmastery or incompleteness that we see a possible place for ourselves in his or her affections – that is, that we glimpse the possibility that we may be able to do something for that person, be something to that person? In this sense, we perhaps love not what they have, but what they do not have; moreover, we show our love by giving what we ourselves do not have.”

“Psychologist John Sweller’s Cognitive Load Theory (1998) explains why even small stressors can feel unbearable when your brain is already overloaded. Your brain has a limited capacity for processing information at any given moment. When too much stress or decision-making is competing for mental space, your brain struggles to function efficiently.”

“Psychic ability is not about "seeing the unseen" — it is about perceiving what the soul already sees. It is the soul’s metaphysical cognition made known to the waking mind.”
