The Power Of The Human Mind

My favorite cousin Lisa sent this totally amazing email to me today. It's completely strange, but at the same time fascinating. Only great minds can read this. Can you read this? I could. Does that mean I'm a genius? ( I wish) LOL!!

  2. I've seen this before. It has to do with how we see and how we see some letters and not others. I think it's the way I time most of the time. I'm always mess or switching my letters.

  5. That is nifty. I could read it. I think it helps that I use short hand a lot so I am used to only concentrating on the beginning and ending of a word.

  14. Thanks for sharing. I guess I must have a strange mind.

    Way back when I was a sales person, we were taught by our sales trainor to practice reading things upside down.

    You see it was his theory that we could use such 'skill' to read papers or items on top of the prospect's table; some kind of a sleuthing skill:-)Weird huh?

    I guess that's where I learned to do the trick.
