When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the 

indians

 could not see the boats.  They just saw strange men arriving in their shores but couldn’t see where they came from.  When the witch doctor arrived, he saw the boats and described them to his companions, only then could they see the ships.  This 

strory

 serves to remind us that we only see that for which we have a frame of 

reference,

 if there is no reference, or 

openess

 to create one, we cannot see what is in front of us.  In the same way, when we have a 

beilief

 about the world, this is our frame of reference and we will live and experiment only what fits in our mental frame of reference.  So, we live what we believe.  In modern times this would be called a 

self fulfilling

 prophecy, as Henry Ford would say, 

weather you believe you can or you believe you can’t, you are right.

 So let’s be careful about what we believe, for it will be what we live.
