Hi Doma,

This is actually a fairly well documented psychological phenomenon. Magicians depend upon it. It all has to do with how our brains wire themselves up when we are infants, and also with how little processing power we have when it comes to large amounts of stimuli. Basically, if you don't expect to see something in your field of view, it is harder to see it.

Try this experiment, and you will experience it for yourself.

The reason i believe the natives couldn't "see the ships"
or decode the waveform information... is because they
didn't have that information program.They could decode
the small boats because they already had that program.....
in order for the tribe to see the ship,the Shamen first had
to decode it.....then like the 100 monkey thing,the whole
tribe could then see it.......

Same as the hypnotist who was able to make the daughter
disappear from her father & then reappear........we see
the information we decode & that information is a program
& that program can be manipulated.........!


"Are people blind to unexplained phenomena because their brains simply can’t handle anything they don’t understand? This story, quoted in social science circles and popular with New Agers, was repeated in the recent film What The Bleep Do We Know? – “When the tall European ships first approached the early Native Americans, it was such an ‘impossible’ vision in their reality that their highly filtered perceptions couldn’t register what was happening, and they literally failed to ‘see’ the ships.” 1

Just because people ignore you it doesn’t mean you really have vanished

A more detailed account, “allegedly found in a diary in Magellan’s own handwriting”, 2 describes how South Americans could see the boats that the explorers landed in, but not the ships anchored offshore. Their shaman stared out to sea and by imagining what he was looking for, was finally able to make out the ships. He was then able to point them out to others, until at last everyone could see the ships. The shaman could do this because he alone was open to the possibilities of strange things from other worlds."
