Living to be Known: Belief, Knowledge, Practice (blog 1)

"Although it feels as though we see the world as it really is, the perceptual system depends on various short-cuts and assumptions when processing incoming sensory information. These perceptual processes can be exploited or "hacked" by designers, thereby changing how people see the environment. If you alter people's perceptions, psychologists have demonstrated that you inevitably influence how they behave." - (Psychology: adventures in perception and personality , Christian Jarrett & Joannah Ginsburg)

Hello World,

I just want to start of by saying I love y'all, happy new year, 4WORDS Motion, let's get to it yea.

I don't want to be too long with the blog so welcome to this moment. The quote above is great isn't it? Just right there in your face like: "Here(that being anything, right?! Media, Food, Culture, Belief, Knowledge, Practice...*cough), have some of all this in the world, specially designed, by the best, just for you!!...P...s...we hope our influence serves us*cough You. well."

What I'm not saying, is that everyone has some form of plan to benefit off of you by strategically placed designs of hacking your perceptual process just to influence the way you see the world and act in it, No, what I am saying though is:

If you, have not, taken any time(maybe a week, or year or few), to examine, Yourself. Yes, true, even our sometimes irrational selves need to be questioned against what only we know.

I've been trying to do this lately because these are really universal to the human right.

What do I believe about... My future? my options? my family? love? God? other people? money? pleasure? ... oh my goodness why?

Where does this belief come from? Only what you've come to know or experience thus far . (limited Knowledge)

So ask, What do I know about...???

Then, really try to look at what you do... Do I do that???

Ask the people you think may give you an honest answer... Just to observe the answers right.

Then think of others in the same way. Sometimes you begin to empathize and see yourself and the world as you've come to know it(how for skewed or at least which direction) you've been influenced the greatest.

Belief? Knowledge? Practice?

I think this is really important. Do You? 

Of course you don't have to. But I'll keep coming back to these this year as we learn together. At least we may come to find that after examining these, that what we CHOOSE in the end, comes much easier in the matter when we're Living to be Known.  or not. #4WORDS
