Sometimes one event causes another. In such cases, the first event is often the result of a previous event that led to it. For example, if you roll a die and get a 3, that result already includes the number 3 on the die. If that’s the case, then we should consider that the number of ‘beings born’ in this world is very small compared to ‘things that never came into existence.’ ‘Coincidence’ is thinking that something can happen randomly, and ‘intention’ is excluding the birth of other things to make it happen. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
As Ernst Gombrich stated, humans do not draw what they see, but rather what they know. They identify differences and interpret them as new based on the patterns embedded in their existing knowledge systems. Therefore, prior knowledge plays a crucial role in accepting new information. Humans do not truly feel or understand what they observe; instead, they feel and perceive only to the extent of their knowledge. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
