"A WISH IS A DECLARATION OF THE MOUTH
THAT THE MIND KNOWS IS A LIE"

Your beliefs have a profound effect on how you perceive
what's happening, because they act like filters. They let
some things through and block out others, based on how
compatible the information is with what is already there.

It works much like the filter on a camera, designed to give
you the picture you want rather than the picture that is.
Similarly, the subconscious mind that receives the
perception is much like the film. It accepts completely,
without question, everything it receives as true, and spits
out your fabricated picture of life in all its glory, just
as if it were real. And then it uses that as the basis for
judging the reality of the next perception.

THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THE RATIONAL MIND IS
SURVIVAL OF WHAT IT THINKS IS SO (YOUR PREMISE).
