In the light of day,
in front of other people,
we do not believe in magic.
But science now shows
that we DO believe in
Magical Thinking
and we act on it.
A recent study showed the persistence
of the ancient magical belief
in what researchers called
Contagion.
We do behave and make choices
in accordance with our deep belief
that a person's "essence" can be
transferred, or "rub off on us."
In this study, people were shown
willing to pay more for items
owned and used by celebrities.
Our relatives, the social chimps,
pay lots of attention
to what the Alpha (celebrity)
chimps do.
"Chimp See
Chimp Celebrity Do Something -
Chimp Do."
People especially paid more
for clothing and personal items
that the celebrity touched and used.
If the person was a "bad person"
people were only willing to
pay less for their items.
"Contagion is a form of magical thinking in which people believe that a person's immaterial qualities or essence can be transferred to an object through physical contact," researchers write. Their findings, they add, "suggest that magical thinking may still have effects in contemporary Western societies." Link

]0[ Buddha and his companions had been walking all day. They approached a small village when suddenly a man came shouting full of anger right at Buddha who continued walking calmly. Later on someone asked him what they all wondered: "Why did you not engage him?" "Let me ask you a question: If someone gives you a gift that you choose not to receive, to whom does it belong?"
