Optical Illusion

I stole this from Intent Blog, who did not say where he got it.

This is what Zappy posted:

The image is not moving, it's your brain playing a trick on you.

What else could your five senses be lying to you about?

The single most important concept of Kabala is "Don't trust your five senses." Like a broken clock which is right twice a day, your five sense are right a similar percentage of the time. Unfortunately there is a tendancy to focus on the two minutes, and assume that it means that what we are seeing, hearing, touching,tasting, and smelling are real, they're not!

Learning to live outside of our limited senses is what Kabalists strive for, sometimes images like the one above serve as a quick reminder.
