If you can read this, you have a strange mind, too. Only 55 people out of 100 can.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I can read it. Very interesting. Like a song played or sung out of tune, the melody is still recognizable as long as some key notes are heard. Despite recognizing the words or melody, the experience is still unpleasant. Like using 'daze' for the word 'days'.

Spelling is important if aesthetics and some order are to be utilized. There are sound energetic/esoteric implications. The details I will not get into. There are bigfoot songs to be heard.

In the UK you can buy "private" number plates (licence plates) for your car that are usually formed like that, the better they work & more desirable they are the more they cost, but most people think people who have them are nuggets (I'm using nuggets in place of another word here LOL)

Do we know why 55 out of 100 of us can read this? It doesn't make sense to know that we can if we don't know why!

I don't know about any of that shamanseeker, just found it weird I was reading that "gibberish" before even realizing I was doing it.

Most people can read this. 55% is a way of making people feel special for what is a completely ordinary part of the brain's processing. The only people who might struggle are those with dyslexia, which interferes with the brain's ability to do exactly what this trick exploits; that is, to take a snapshot of information which takes in only a small percentage of the available information (say 10%) and to extrapolate the rest. That is why letters and numbers that are similarly shaped can be used in place of each other. You'll notice that after the first line or so, reading it became even easier. This is because once your brain has caught onto the train of thought, it becomes even easier to predict what comes next because the brain has more available information to feed into the extrapolation.

Couldn't agree with you more SK. I was sent this several months ago and initially felt a bit 'special' that I could read it quite easily.

Like you say, MOST people can read this. It's a no brainer.

I have 'no problems' reading your 'message'.
I can read things reflected in a mirror - ie, 'Mirror Image'.
I can read things 'Upside Down' or 'Sideways' - I found this 'extremely useful' when going into the 'Bosses' office and reading documents that were in front of them with a 'quick glance' - Amazing what one can learn doing this!
Does this make me 'Special'??
I don't think so, just 'Fortunate'.
With Love, HS

As you probably know I am an 'Ex' IT Manager. I used to have regular meetings with the 'Boss' (Accounting and Finance Manager).
He used to have a Document about the Future plans of the Company in front of him.
He noticed that I 'glanced' at it when it was 'Upside Down' in front of him.
He would then push the Document to the side - sideways on his desk.
He didn't realize that I could still read it in this position.
It was a 'great advantage' to know what was about to happen to the Company.
He was always so 'amazed' that I had pre-empted and planned for the future changes to the Company Structure.
He never could understand how I had these 'Premonitions' - (HAHA, we know why).
Love, HS
