- Though we might not realise it as humans we hallucinate all the time. This is our brains way of learning from past experience and creating an effect that we are expecting. - For example when we're really thirsty and we drink water. The water probably doesn't do anything for us immediately but our brain gives us this idea that our thirst has been quenched. - To leverage this idea you can think of cultivating emotions so you can get good at it. Thinking everyday about an idea from a different perspective can help you develop that kind of hallucination automatically from your brain. ---- #curiousminds 182 - Lisa Feldman Barrett on How Our Brain Works
