INSIGHT

Mindsight Is Innate And Trainable

  • Mindsight (blindfold vision) appears innate and trainable in children and adults, not a stage trick.
  • Direct experience and demonstration are essential to move skeptics toward acceptance.
ADVICE

Protect Beginners From Performance Pressure

  • When beginners open a new ability, avoid demanding proof because pressure can shut progress down.
  • Encourage steady practice and gradual milestones before asking for demonstrations.
