"Believing is Seeing"

                                               Let's lay some "dots" down .   {{We may or may not connect them later}} .

                          Everyone agrees, "Seeing is believing", yet there remains an obvious, if not ODIOUS, illusion (ill- usion) that "BELIEVING is >Seeing< .   Robert Pirsig wrote that very same in his Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance .   He WANTED-TO-BELIEVE he had reached a specific point along the coast and when he read his maps he found affirmation which was shockingly short .  He wasn't even CLOSE .  He had to smirk, his Mind had played a trick on him .  THIS IS WHAT MIND DOES under even modest duress .   

                         Remember ,  "We ACT according to the way we see things", and this Gem ;  "We create our own Perceptible Reality" .  The "Way we see things" is actually the result of Educational Conditioning, meaning, we are TAUGHT >>>How<<< to see , and worse, we are Taught >>>What<<< to see .   

                          If you "Believe" in trump YOU WILL NOT SEE EVIL --- and even if you "sense" something is amiss , your Belief will FORCE you to "Turn a blind eye" .   Such is Human Nature .
