THE MIND IS EASILY TRICKED
One of the secret principles you’ll learn is the idea that the mind is
easily tricked by optical as well as literary illusions.
You’re probably familiar with optical illusions. Numerous books
and sites show pictures that can be seen in a variety of ways. One
famous image looks like an old woman—until you stare a little
longer and suddenly see the profile of a young woman in the same
image. (See Figure 49.1.)
Which do you see—an old woman or a young girl?
Both are there.
But maybe you’ve seen that famous illusion. Well, let me blow
your mind. Look at Figure 49.2.
