http://mindpersuasion.com/ If you had to change the world, life would be pretty difficult. Luckily, all you need to do is change your filters, and the world will seem like it changes. Here's How: http://mindpersuasion.com/belief/

2. I've always loved science, ever since I
was a kid.

3. I used to beg my mom to buy me these
"kits" from Radio Shack where you
could wire a whole bunch of simple
circuits together.

4. Once I ran my regular room light
through the circuit to turn my room
into a strobe light discotheque.

5. Of course, my dad thought I was going
to burn the house down.

6. They say that science can seem like
magic if it's sufficiently advanced.

7. But to a kid it's just a cool trick.

8. Like pouring vinegar into baking soda,
and watching it foam up all over the
place.

9. Nowadays you can do that with
Mentos and Diet Coke.

10. When I was in college me and some
buddies would find some pool acid
(from the dormitory pool supply room)
and mix it with some aluminum foil in
a big 2 liter plastic bottle.

11. The aluminum foil would mix with the
acid, cause heat and gas, melting the
plastic and expanding the bottle until
BOOM!

12. Since we were young and dumb, we
didn't realize how dangerous that was.

13. One of the coolest discoveries I made
(or rather was taught) was about
polarized lenses.

14. When light comes from the sun, it's
bouncing in all different directions.

15. The part of the light that is parallel to
the ground, or any level surface can
bounce off, and cause glare.

16. So polarized sunglasses take out the
horizontal element of light, so you
don't get any glare.

17. The cool part is when you take to
lenses that are polarized, and rotate
them against one another.

18. Once you've got them at 90 degree
angles, they'll cut off ALL light.

19. You can see it getting darker and
darker as you rotate them.

20. By simply changing some simple filters,
you can't see all the stuff that light
allows us to see.

21. Of course, our brains come the same
way.

22. Now, sun glasses are specifically made
that way for a specific purpose.

23. But the filters in our brains, that keep
us from seeing what's right in front of
us, were likely put there, but others, or
ourselves, without us really knowing
what was going on.

24. Most of us pick up quite a few filters
by the time we're seven or eight years
old, and unless you consciously change
them, you're pretty much stuck with
them.

25. Of course, if your filters are helpful,
and help you to see things that enrich
and empower you, that's great.

26. On the other hand, if your filters are
keeping you from seeing the truth
about yourself and your rightful place
in the world, unless you take the time
to change them, things will stay the
same.

27. Luckily, changing them is pretty easy.

28. First you've got to find them, them
simply replace them with more helpful
ones.
