A paradigm (pronounced: pair-a-dime) shift is when a thought or concept that

you believed, and was as solid as concrete in your brain, all of a sudden

changes from what you had previously thought. Here's an example: In a

college class I had several years ago, the instructor put a fast video clip

up on the screen that flashed a bunch of regular playing cards, one at a

time. After the video, she asked how many saw hearts? and hands went up,

spades, etc....... then she asked who saw triangles. My hand and a couple

others went up. Others in the room said there weren't any, I said there

were, and they were black. They didn't see what was right in front of them

because they didn't believe anything other than the main four shapes would be

in there, get it? She had to replay the video before some of the people

would believe there were triangles in the cards, even after being TOLD they

were in there, because they honestly DID NOT see them. Some call a paradigm

shift a " light bulb moment " . How's that for psych 101? LOL
