Why Do People Believe Weird Things

Dear Folks -

As is often the case, I feel the audio version of the talk I gave this week in Ordinary Life trumps the printed version that follows. One of the goals I have for all of my talks is to create open minds that can lead to open hearts and hands. Often our minds are closed to new truths because we believe weird things. One of the things I deal with in this talk is why do people believe in weird things. Often when people are confronted with facts that are contrary to the beliefs they hold they will say that they simply "have faith" that what they believe is true. So, this leads me to raise the question: What does it mean to have faith.

Much love,

Bill Kerley
