has anyone ever heard the theory that 80 percent of what we see is what we believe...
It is not that thing where you or I think that no one else exists except for us, it is just that you have more of a chance of having something happen if you believe it is going to happen. I have read some crazy stuff in my day, but the things that pertain to the 80-20 theory are crazy.

People who are health creeps die after getting a small cut that wont kill anyone. A guy gets half of his head blown off by a gun and survives just because he "believes". It is kind of like the whole matrix neo thing. just look it up sometime. Give me some feedback.

When it comes to psionics and other psychic topics, 'seeing is believing' goes hand-in-hand which is why people who are new to psychic abilities after seeing a demonstration, can sometimes perform what they just saw but then later, are completely unable to do anything. Thanks to 3 friends called visualization, belief and understanding.

If people give up on life, there would be nothing left.

Nope never thought of it Ibelieve that everyone has their opinion but what exists just exists if you dont accept it oh well if you think more than what already exist...then whe get into skepticism and all that stuff

I've never heard that theory. But I think we can all make our own destinies and change them.

I don't believe in luck! I'm one of those guys that say we all are pre destined for something bad or good, or what ever. I just consider myself lucky for now. blink.gif Destiny or fate really whats the difference? Is the guy who works for 5 bucks an hour at 7-11 unlucky he was shot or lucky that he lived? all depends. How could one measure this?

If he lived he must be a believer 80% of the time and the ones who die none believers?
