Good to see you again everyone. Have seat please.
Ask your self this if you will please.
1) Self, do I believe that f. Finn physically took a treasure chest as he describes and secreted
that chest filled with physical items (as described by Fenn) in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa
Fe, NM?
2) What are the odds of that in your opinion?
3) Is that just theory?
4) How important to you is your belief in that, and why?
The concept I am touching on now folks is the theory of "Cognitive Dissonance",
and, in my judgement, it is the "Smoke and Mirrors" used to manipulate groups of people or
individuals as well as the means by which individuals manipulate (thru their thinking) themselves.
Some of the things that are very important to us...and positive/ empowering to us are unprovable,
thus they ARE OPINIONS/ BELIEFS.
Those types of things require FAITH.......I am not judging religion here fellows.
I am talking more about ...faith in your self....faith in that a good idea to you will
succeed....faith in family ,faith in friends, faith in human nature, etc. And in the chase
before you, faith that you fully understand what the hay f. Fenn is up to with his Thrill.
THINK ABOUT PLEASE.

afraid of the light."
