Cogar,
The author's name is spelled "Nae" instead of May....so only the "a" is right....
OH MY MY, …. Sophie Marie, ...... my only excuse for such simple mistakes is probably due to the fact that I am a little more than 6 months into my 78th trip around the Sun and my once great thinking, reasoning, memory recall and physical attributes have been afflicted somewhat here of lately due to my lengthy trip.
Anyway, on a more serious note, both the typesetter’s screw-up in/of the “misspelling” of the name …… and my “screwup” in the "optical" recognition of the “misspelled” name, …… is pretty much
literal proof that there is oftentimes a “recall” translation error between what the subconscious mind is “uploaded” with via the “visual” sense organs (
or the “auditory” sense organs) and what it “translates” and presents to the conscious mind for its “choice” making interpretation(s).
To explain what I am talking about via the afore noted …… uploaded vision data, ……. to the subconscious mind’s “best-guess/most-likely” recalled interpretation or modification of said vision data, …… to said interpreted/modified data being presented to the conscious mind, …..
mistakes can be introduced in the translated visual data, ….. but more commonly, mistakes in the visual data
are corrected prior to it being presented to the conscious mind. And here is a test or exercise that proves that fact, to wit:
Here is a list of 12 misspelled words. See how long it takes you to interpret each word as if it was spelled correctly.
ltteer
mses
wouthit
iprmoetnt
istlef
raed
bcuseae
wrod
porbelm
frist
huamn
lsat
Not so easy to do, right? (for most people that is)
OK, now see how easily you can read a few of those same words that are included in the following paragraph.
Just QUICKLY read the following paragraph. DON’T stop to ponder the spelling of the word(s), just continue reading like you would when reading any sentence or paragraph. Then do it a 2nd time. To wit:
Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs. I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on !!"
So, was it quite easy for you to successfully read that paragraph both times, or just the 2nd time?
Amazing huh. A simple proof that one’s conscious mind is subservient to …. whatever one’s environment nurtured their subconscious mind to be (capable of).
Cheers, ….. Samuel C Cogar
