As I read and ponder:

They say that hindsight is 20/20. And they’re right.
In the present moment, it’s hard to observe your life for what’s really going on.

Patterns and trends tend only to emerge when you are looking back, not when you are looking around you.
In order to really examine your life, you need to look backwards at some point.
This doesn’t mean that you are “living in the past.” It doesn’t mean that you are not present in the present anymore.
It simply means you are looking at past circumstances to extract gems from what you have experienced.

FUZZY, BUT THE BRAIN CAN STILL FIGURE IT OUT!


Interestingly, at first instance, the whole text with jumbled-up letters seems fuzzy, but it only takes a short while for the brain to figure out the big picture.

Thanks to the innate self-organising & pattern recognition capabilities of our brains. That's how I see it.

For the record, the foregoing text should actually read as follows:

"I couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading:

THE PHENOMENAL POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND

According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.

Amazing, huh?
"


Nonetheless, to understand the other perspectives of this phenomenon, please proceed to this link. I should thank Pat Johnson, a blog reader & fellow explorer for the link.
