Interstate 60 Page #3

Neal, Neal,

are you all right?

Talk to me son.

Neal.

Get better soon honey,

Love Mom + Dad, XO

St. Louiss finest thin crust

You're all right Neal?

Yeah, yeah, just...

it only hurts when I think.

They want to keep me overnight,

to log some tests in the morning

make sure,

my perception is like worked, yeah.

You're goddess, Nance.

I know.

So, what's your perception of a dad

who buys you the gift,

he wants for himself?

About the same as toxic wastes.

Your perception is fine.

That is one hell of a way

getting out of answering dad about the car.

Mom and dad are going to be here soon,

what are you gonna tell them?

Lies.

The truth is just gonna piss him off.

Well maybe that's a good thing.

No, no.

Because then I' gonna get the whole riff,

about how I'm letting him down

It's just easy if I roll with it.

And maybe someone will steal it.

First a little visual warm up?

I'll hold up a card, you name the suit.

I'm gonna go faster and faster.

So, see if you can keep up.

OK.

Spade.

Heart.

Did I pass?

No.

But a few people do.

Black hearts, red spades?.

Come on, that's like cheating.

Aah, experience has conditioned you,

thinking that all hearts are red,

and all spades are black.

Because their shapes are similar.

It's easier for your mind

to interpret them...

based on that passed experience,

than open to an idea that they can be different.

We see what we expect to see.

Not necessarily, what's really there.

Children who have never played cards

always pass this test.

Makes you wonder how many other things

are right in front of you, sight, sound, smell

that you can't experience,

because you've been conditioned not to?

The good news is ...

If we'll do the test again you will pass.

Once you are aware,

that there can be black hearts and red spades,

you'll be able to perceive them.

Your brain is wired,

just like the Interstate highways system.

It's easier to go from one well to go

from one well travelled place to another

but the places in between, off the highway ...

Even though they're there, most people just zip right pass them.

Well, that's cool trick

But there aren't any card games with red spades and black hearts.

Well, how do you know?

Mr. Oliver. I'm Dr. Craig.

You ready to take some tests?

Yeah.

Well, that was some warmer back to you got there, that guy Ray.

Who?

Ray. You know, that guy, who was ju ...

He just left.

You know, the tricked cards.

No, there is no one on staff, named Ray.

No, he was just here.

Wacky guy, with the cards...
