As we move forward from the foundational courses on miracle principles, we enter a new phase focused on creating vision. Vision, in this context, means seeing beyond habitual patterns, limitations, and biases—opening ourselves to a deeper understanding of how our minds work and how we can move beyond obstacles that obscure our true potential.
To cultivate this clarity, we will explore eleven cognitive biases that often distort our perception and hinder transformation:
Disposition effect: Why do we tend to hold on to losing investments?
Dunning-Kruger effect: Why do we fail to accurately gauge our own abilities?
Einstellung effect: Why do our past experiences prevent us from reaching the best possible outcomes?
Empathy gap: Why do we mispredict how much our emotions influence our behavior?
Functional fixedness: Why do we have trouble thinking outside the box?
Hard-easy effect: Why is our confidence disproportionate to the difficulty of a task?
Illusory truth effect: Why do we believe misinformation more easily when it is repeated many times?
Naïve allocation: Why do we prefer to spread limited resources across our options?
Naïve realism: Why do we believe we have an objective understanding of the world?
Peak-end rule: How do our memories differ from our experiences?
Source confusion: Why do we forget where our memories come from?
Each cognitive bias represents a unique challenge in how we see and interact with the world. Left unchecked, these biases create blind spots and perpetuate habits that limit our potential for growth and transformation.
To confront these biases, we will draw upon eleven miracle principles, each offering a pathway to realigning our vision with truth:
Undo the past in the present
No negativity can be retained
Miracles are an affirmation of abundance
All time goes on all the time
You are never alone
Free your mind from illusions
My source goes with me wherever I go
Love holds no complaints
I am not a body - I am free
Perception correction
You are your brother's keeper
These principles offer powerful insights to dismantle false perceptions and replace them with a perspective rooted in truth and wholeness. As we examine each bias, we will pair it with the corresponding miracle principle to reveal how it can be transformed and transcended.
Through reflective exercises, practical applications, and transformative insights, these lessons aim to move us from limitation to liberation, from confusion to clarity. Together, we will cultivate vision that aligns with the truths of who we are.
Let’s begin this journey of awakening to vision, where each step dissolves the obstacles that obscure the light within.
