Magic

Following from the earlier posts regarding Unconscious/Conscious Competence/Incompetence, here's some food for thought:

What you don't understand, is magic.

Do you believe in this statement? Think about it.

Thousands of years ago, if you were to show the earliest cavemen how to start a fire, they will exclaim in disbelief and proclaim you to be an evil warlock.

Hundreds of years ago, people were put into jail for finding that the sun does not revolve around the earth.

Decades ago, embryo cloning was deemed impossible and immoral.

Look at where we are today! Imagine, if you are at an awareness level of (3) or (4), preaching to a person at the awareness level of (1) or (2), you will be perceived as someone who can wield magic!

This is how master illusionists perform acts of magic that bewilder their audiences. The reason? The illusionist is at level (4), while the audience is still in level (2).

So, think about it the next time you wish to perform "magic" on unsuspecting smart alecks!
