Where do you hold the Fabled Belief Dot?

 My dad and I had a disagreement about what cognitive dissonance was.

I said, believing two contradictory things, simultaneously.

He said, NO, you believe one thing, despite evidence to the contrary.

Of course... I said, you know, that sounded like what I said, EXACTLY. No difference.

Nuh huh huh... The difference is, where do you hold the Fabled Belief Dot, Rachel? With what he said, you hold it OUTSIDE of your head, and with what I said, you hold it INSIDE your head.

Where is your Fabled Belief Dot, and how many do you have? Can you hold two simultaneously contradictory belief dots on a conscious focal point level in your brain, at the same time? WELL I CAN... I AM A MASTER HOLDER OF BELIEF DOT JUGGLING... I CAN JUGGLE MY BELIEF DOTS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER, DISMISS STRANGE BELIEF DOTS, JUGGLE THEM INSIDE AND OUT OF MY HEAD, and I CAN DISTRIBUTE THEM TO FOLLOWERS, TOO...

CAN YOU JUGGLE YOUR BELIEF DOTS? I BET YOU CAN'T...

That's why my brain is better than yours, okay. Without any rude emotional connotations, or rude nastiness, okay.

Snakes, Snails, Puppy Dog Tails...

 As a side note, in the book I was originally when I was first diagnosed, the Bible for Dummies, there was a joke regarding puppy dog tails I found exceptionally funny.

Anyway... It's a Rachel Zuhl motto here, the collective unconscious story regarding, puppy dog tails.

Actually... This is a situation, where there was a dream website I used to religiously look at, because the dreams AND the interpretations were fascinating to me... it was lifetreks.com, the woman was good there, since then the format has changed... Anyway, there were a great deal of dreams, it turns out, are actually DIRECT collective unconscious references, there, actually.

One of them, maybe my favorite, was the puppy dog tail dream... There was a woman, attaching three puppies by their tails... and there was some reasoning, you know, they will all run in different directions, and balance each other out with the weight, and stay in one place... And she told her grandfather, and he said, "Oh, No... Geez..."

Anyway, about strange sanity keeping situations... Where you are bending over backwards, holding on, and dear life... Please stay sane...

With people, social situations, Chance, whatever... Whoever... And then some...

Motto collective unconscious story.
