Pareidolia

 

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon where the brain perceives familiar shapes or ambiguous stimuli, like seeing faces in clouds or a figure in a rock formation. It's a natural tendency to impose meaning and structure on what one sees, even when it's not actually there.

Shift shaping images have always been used in art throughout history to create a deeper meaning to the image and messages from the artist. It's a specific type of apophenia to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated events or objects.

The mind is and its imagination wants to find meaning and patterns, and Pareidolia is a result of this innate ability.

Many plants or trees, even the constellations have their names because of shapes that creating a similar image.


The face of a man in the Moon or observing animals or situations in clouds are all mental-intuitive tendency to fill in missing information and create a coherent picture.

While Pareidolia involves perceiving something that isn't there, it's different from a hallucination what is in the absence of an external stimulus, while Pareidolia involves interpreting a stimulus of creative mental abilities and being aware, that what they are seeing is a creative extension of the mind which can be very useful to create mental bridges for the memory.

Great artists like Dali or Picasso have engaged themselves deeply in Pareidolia to create master pieces that stretches the rational thinking mind beyond the norm to show the world all is possible.

In the endless depth of the cosmos and in the macro world of living creatures are endless possibilities and forms.

The power of believe and its mental significance can take over the creative intuitive ability and one applies supernatural importance to the imagery, for willingly incorporate spiritual beliefs into their Pareidolia experiences to establish some fragile clairvoyant abilities and important messages. 

The sensitive mind instinctively assigns emotions and personalities to these images, and one project of how one feels about the image as well. There is an interrelationship between illusory agency detection and paranormal belief that become easily a psychological dysfunction.

 Pareidolia exists in nature or landscapes or art and can trigger an emotional reaction which is related lifestyles and its pressure affect by the mental state to varying degrees. In fact, everyone will be in different mental states at different times of a normal life.

Most people are in mental distress status while exhausting themselves with media influences to the brain activities, which has negative influence on the psyche and the human spirit.

Negative spiritual influence will increases the possibility of paranoia, and therefore, it is good to go out in nature and play with Pareidolia phenomena with the purpose of enriching the mind with sensitivities and reactions in a peaceful and playful environment.
