so as we continue on our journey of discovery into what what is faith how to get faith how to come closer to God and realize God's got God's hand in the world God's existence in the world we need to have we need to start with a disclaimer there's a I forgot the name it happens there's something called the inkblot test where psychologist I guess I go through this all the time where psychologists they have little blotches of ink and they show it to somebody or the you know the the patient or the client and judging on what he sees and judging on what he will say that he appears in front of him they can understand his mindset because in truth he will see what he wants to see her what he's thinking about or what's on his mind so this famous joke at this perverted sick murderer is in in the psychologists office and he shows him you know first ink blot watch and he's looking at in his like I see murder him blood and knives and guns shows him the next one he's like I see perversion and disgusting things and and each one is something sicker and more disgusting so after he finishes so the client says to the therapist he's like so what do you think how did i do on my test and the therapist says when I say man you're a sicko you're a pervert is I'm a pervert you're the guy who walks around with these pictures in your desk what does that mean people see what they want to see you are limited you are restricted your vision is very much blocked by what your heart desires as the Torah says LoCicero a curry Leviathan baccarin ahem don't stray
