Illusions and Paradoxes: Seeing is Believing?
We all have our own perceptions of an event and as we are all individuals, we often disagree. Being mindful includes having a flexible mind and being able to see other points of view. Unfortunately our brains need training to be flexible and consider other possibilities. Our brain perceives all visual input with biases. The same biased process happens with nonverbal and verbal communication. When being mindful we open our minds to other possibilities and let go of preconceived notions. Keep an open mind when viewing these puzzles.

Blue-Green Illusion.
This image has only three colors. What appears to be blue and green is actually the same color.
The altered perception is caused because the eyes combine adjacent colors.
