    🚀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (After Jehovah's work, Jesus became flesh to do His work among people. This is the work for a new age after God ends the Age of Law. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work is completed, a new work will continue the rule of God. This incarnation is the second incarnation of God following the completion of Jesus' work. Every new phase of God's work always brings a new beginning and a new age. When Jesus came to the human world, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, the God became flesh again, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and ushered in the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept God's second incarnation will be taken to Age of the Kingdom, and will personally receive God's guidance. Completely saving man from Satan's influence not only required Jesus to take on man's sins as a sin offering, but also required God to do a greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which Satan corrupted. All who submit to His dominion will enjoy a higher truth and receive greater blessings. They will truly live in the light, and obtain the truth, the way, and the life.) Almighty God said After JEHOVAH'S WORK, JESUS became a HUMAN being to do His WORK among PEOPLE. 🙏 His WORK was NOT carried out SEPARATELY, but BUILT upon JEHOVAH'S WORK. This is WORK for a NEW AGE after GOD ENDS the AGE of LAW. Also, when the work of Jesus was finished, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire government of God is always progressing forward. ☀️ When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the OLD WORK is COMPLETED, a NEW WORK will CONTINUE GOD'S RULE. This INCARNATION is the SECOND INCARNATION of GOD FOLLOWING the COMPLETION of the WORK of JESUS. ☀️ Of course, this incarnation does not happen alone, but it is the THIRD PHASE of WORK after the AGE OF LAW and the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️ Each NEW PHASE of GOD'S WORK always BRINGS a NEW BEGINNING and a NEW AGE. There are also corresponding changes in God's disposition, in His way of doing, in the place of His work, and in His name. 🙏 No wonder, then, that it is difficult for people to accept God's work in the new age. But regardless of how man opposes Him, God always does His work, and always leads all mankind forward. ☀️ WHEN JESUS ​​CAME to the WORLD of MAN, He BRINGED the AGE OF GRACE and ENDED the AGE OF LAW. 🙏 In the TIME of the LAST DAYS, GOD again became FLESH, and when He became FLESH at this time, He ENDED the AGE of GRACE and BRINGED in the AGE of KINGDOM.🙏 ALL who RECEIVE GOD'S SECOND INCARNATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, and WILL PERSONALLY RECEIVE GOD'S GUIDANCE. ☀️🙏 Although JESUS ​​DID a LOT with MAN, He only completed the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND and became the sacrifice for MAN'S SIN, and did NOT remove from man ALL his BAD DISPOSITIONS. ☀️ The complete saving of man from SATAN'S INFLUENCE NOT ONLY REQUIRED JESUS ​​to take on MAN'S SINS as a SIN OFFERING, but also REQUIRED GOD to do a GREATER WORK to COMPLETELY rid MAN of his DISPOSITION, which SATAN CORRUPTED. And so, AFTER MAN was FORGIVEN of his SINS, GOD RETURNED to the HUMAN BODY to LEAD man into a NEW AGE, and BEGAN the WORK of CHASTISEMENT and JUDGMENT, and this WORK BROUGHT MAN to a more HIGH COVERAGE. ☀️ ALL WHO SUBMIT to His DOMINION WILL ENJOY a HIGHER TRUTH and RECEIVE GREATER BLESSINGS. They will REALLY LIVE in the LIGHT, and GET the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. 💐🙏 From "Foreword" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).

    As an autistic, I’d like to add it can ALSO go the opposite way due to how the spectrum works. Just as we have “low social awareness”, we can also have EXTREME social awareness from overactive pattern recognition in our brains (which can also result in anxiety from overthinking what we perceive as a “pattern” that wasn’t there)

But a big one for me is I usually hate making eye contact because it's information overload. I can read so much from someone's eyes, it's way too distracting to continue interacting with them. Instead I look around our general environment and focus on our words. Maybe I do have a bit of the 'tism.

Not just faces or humanoid figures in visuals (which I do see a lot and it freaks me out bad when I'm in an episode), but voices and music in sheer noise too. I've listened to instrumental tracks where I could hear someone shouting my name and been convinced someone had left a radio on when it was just running water. Pareidolia is a fascinating phenomenon.

    I get this too, but I also genuinely hear much higher frequencies and sound patterns in music, compared to when I was younger and less open minded. I've played piano be ear all my life so I can tell that I am both hearing voices and seeing faces which are formed from random objects/noise *and* perceiving genuinely altered patterns of pitch and frequency in music that I've been listening to all my life. I believe it's because I am a writer and spend much of my life questioning accepted norms in order to come up with novel ideas and perspectives- which has reduced the filtering effect of my left brain on the creative activity of my right. Sometimes, this results in pattern recognition where there is none, but it *also* results in pattern *perception* which most humans are cut off from due to a strict fealty to norms and cultural determinism.

    Hello Duncan! I am so happy i found your channel & this video! I am a 63 yo female who has an extreme gift of pareidolia,artistic creativity and an IQ tested at 153. I don’t say this to be blowing my own horn, it’s just to explain somewhat my personal experience. I also have a talent for “reading people”. By profession I am a retired horticulturist. My pareidolia became evident to me at about age 4… I was put to bed in a dark room , in a bed that was up against a plaster wall. Usually the curtains in the room were left open and moonlight often flooded the room and wall I turned to to sleep. For fun I would see many recognizable shapes and forms in the plaster scrapings on the wall scratching and swirls, which entertained me as I drifted off to sleep. It was, and still is enjoyable to me , however it can be silliness to other people. I have always been and felt like an “odd ball” but I accept my own unique mind these days. I still read everything I can get my hands on and go from one project to another and adore my garden! I think it is a special thing to see wrestlers and turtles in the clouds! The brain is an amazing thing!

    Beautiful exposition. I’ve always struggled with explaining pareidolia, and this will be extremely helpful. Nonetheless, I’d like to propose a different conclusion. Which is, that there is no natural analog to our perceptions. Objects as we perceive them, don’t exist objectively in nature, but rather are arbitrary apprehensions of our mind, conditioned to the qualities of our perception, limited by our senses and subject to the scale of our experience; that evolved to help us make sense of being. But there is no boundary that intrinsically defines a cloud as a particular object in the universe. I believe that ontological skepticism is the interpretation that best describes the relation of our minds and the world.

    Our house has terrazzo floors throughout. When I sit on the toilet for any length of time and my gaze, without focusing, is in the direction of the floor, the bits of black and grey marble embedded in the white cement. become alive with facial, some animal-like as well as cartoony images. I've become aware that an image of a long-eared dog with the beak of a duck, or some other silly combination, I've laughed out loud at some of the absurdities Some designs might be just a couple of blacks and greys, while others might contain many in a 3" x 4" swath of pieces. Some even seem to depict an idea in the type of image that comes forth. I enjoy this ability to be able to see these things. I've thought of photographing some areas to try and create a picture of all these clustered together. Another interesting thing that I noticed is that some images are always there when I look at them, there are others that are just one shot compositions, if I try to see them again I can not get them back in my sights or even remember where I saw it located in the chaos.

    🚀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" (After Jehovah's work, Jesus became flesh to do His work among people. This is the work for a new age after God ends the Age of Law. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work is completed, a new work will continue the rule of God. This incarnation is the second incarnation of God following the completion of Jesus' work. Every new phase of God's work always brings a new beginning and a new age. When Jesus came to the human world, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, the God became flesh again, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and ushered in the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept God's second incarnation will be taken to Age of the Kingdom, and will personally receive God's guidance. Completely saving man from Satan's influence not only required Jesus to take on man's sins as a sin offering, but also required God to do a greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which Satan corrupted. All who submit to His dominion will enjoy a higher truth and receive greater blessings. They will truly live in the light, and obtain the truth, the way, and the life.) Almighty God said After JEHOVAH'S WORK, JESUS became a HUMAN being to do His WORK among PEOPLE. 🙏 His WORK was NOT carried out SEPARATELY, but BUILT upon JEHOVAH'S WORK. This is WORK for a NEW AGE after GOD ENDS the AGE of LAW. Also, when the work of Jesus was finished, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire government of God is always progressing forward. ☀️ When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the OLD WORK is COMPLETED, a NEW WORK will CONTINUE GOD'S RULE. This INCARNATION is the SECOND INCARNATION of GOD FOLLOWING the COMPLETION of the WORK of JESUS. ☀️ Of course, this incarnation does not happen alone, but it is the THIRD PHASE of WORK after the AGE OF LAW and the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️ Each NEW PHASE of GOD'S WORK always BRINGS a NEW BEGINNING and a NEW AGE. There are also corresponding changes in God's disposition, in His way of doing, in the place of His work, and in His name. 🙏 No wonder, then, that it is difficult for people to accept God's work in the new age. But regardless of how man opposes Him, God always does His work, and always leads all mankind forward. ☀️ WHEN JESUS ​​CAME to the WORLD of MAN, He BRINGED the AGE OF GRACE and ENDED the AGE OF LAW. 🙏 In the TIME of the LAST DAYS, GOD again became FLESH, and when He became FLESH at this time, He ENDED the AGE of GRACE and BRINGED in the AGE of KINGDOM.🙏 ALL who RECEIVE GOD'S SECOND INCARNATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, and WILL PERSONALLY RECEIVE GOD'S GUIDANCE. ☀️🙏 Although JESUS ​​DID a LOT with MAN, He only completed the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND and became the sacrifice for MAN'S SIN, and did NOT remove from man ALL his BAD DISPOSITIONS. ☀️ The complete saving of man from SATAN'S INFLUENCE NOT ONLY REQUIRED JESUS ​​to take on MAN'S SINS as a SIN OFFERING, but also REQUIRED GOD to do a GREATER WORK to COMPLETELY rid MAN of his DISPOSITION, which SATAN CORRUPTED. And so, AFTER MAN was FORGIVEN of his SINS, GOD RETURNED to the HUMAN BODY to LEAD man into a NEW AGE, and BEGAN the WORK of CHASTISEMENT and JUDGMENT, and this WORK BROUGHT MAN to a more HIGH COVERAGE. ☀️ ALL WHO SUBMIT to His DOMINION WILL ENJOY a HIGHER TRUTH and RECEIVE GREATER BLESSINGS. They will REALLY LIVE in the LIGHT, and GET the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. 💐🙏 From "Foreword" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).

    Super interesting and enjoyable video with a beautiful conclusion I didn't expect. Something I would add: I played around with a style of meditation in which you learn to relocate the center of your awareness from the head to the chest and heart area. At some point I realized that when being aware from the heart, I automatically see more faces of humans and animals in all kinds of patterns. (And it is possible to combine that with more intentional pattern seeking to make it kind of game to find faces in any material and pattern.) The perspective from the heart doesn't just come with this projection of faces, but also makes the world seem more lively, connected etc. So, I would suggest that pareidolia is part of a broader perspective/stance towards the world and which can ,in general, be learned and unlearned.

I would also add a lot of the time I see animals or like anthropomorphized animals (maybe it has something to do with my aphantasia though? idk lol)

    Psychology is complicated. Each person experiences the world differently. We try to put each ourselves into boxes to understand each other, but that process will never be perfect. It's doesn't necessarily mean that the research has been done poorly, just that we still have more to learn, just like many areas of knowledge about the universe. I think the most important thing is that we treat people as individuals, rather than expecting our ideas about any particular group to map onto any particular person. We are all human beings at the end of the day, with more in common than different

There was the craze when people thought flu injections cause autism. Countless studies showed drinking while pregnant and smoking caused higher rates of autism. And you can already imagine pregnant women taking pharmaceutical drugs for their pregnancy probably weren’t put on those studies as women smoking or drinking so it’s likely even higher yet because of studies like that excluding women taking pharmaceutical drugs since those are the “nice” medical drugs they skewed studies forever and to this day we think it’s mostly genetic even though studies that try proving that show that it’s less than 50% to be genetic if at all. Autism could be looked at as brain damage, neurological damage, brain stunted growth etc while the mother is pregnant and the fetus is developing. Most pregnant women don’t smoke or drink but they do still take drugs, they are just prescribed, yet they won’t believe it could cause problems to their baby

    3:35 I dont know if that's a different condition from what ive heard as "face blindness" but I think people with autism have a similar if not that exact condition commonly as well. I think I have mild face blindness? I can recognise faces, but I get similar ones confused all the time. Like if I see an actor I might identify the wrong name because they have a beard on or something. 4:51 it might be because I already know about this illusion but I was immediately able to point out the one on the right being weird. Probably also because it has the one on the left next to it. 15:35 not reduced responses to stimuli, in fact most of the time its increased, to the point of having sensitivity issues. Its a spectrum so a lot of those symptoms can go either way. And weirdly enough I think im better at finding pareidolia than most. Its probably a "those who cant do teach" type situation, where since I generally have to "manually" identify these things, its a skill I posses and constantly hone. Unlike most people where that ability comes more naturally than it does for me. 16:12 which is interesting because people with autism tend to have a creative disposition. So that would seem to contradict, wouldnt it?

    I took some hallucinogens during a few years of my life. I have phosphenes since, even though I didn’t touched those for 10 years. So at night, I see colours and shapes, and if I focus on it it gets more and more details, sometimes creating complex scenes. Like one night there was rain falling in front of a street lamp, and I started seeing some movement like people walking, I started seeing shoes, then people walking in line. After there was more details, they were all in Victorian era clothes, and I saw buildings behind them with a beautiful architecture (a bit like gothic buildings). It was pretty cool. I try to watch attentively because I can then try to think of what story might explain what’s happening there. I consider it as a gift. It just happens if I focus on it, otherwise the phosphenes aren’t bothering. EDIT : I totally forgot ! Thanks for the video, I’m always happy to see people talking about those subjects.

I believe that is a direct tie-in between our primative, child's brain, and our more sophisticated cognative function as a human being in the everyday world. It gives a direct explanation of the link between art and our brains, and it shows us that art is an inherent and necessary part of the human condition.

    pareidolia is something I notice as a red flag for a rise in visual hallucinations and a likely uptick in other mania symptoms with Bipolar 1. I also notice when pareidolia is heightened..... actual faces become distorted giving that "demon face" or "moving parts" effect.... sometimes I see faces in peoples faces, weird asf. one other interesting connection I've noticed is how increased pareidolia seems to coincide with times when I'm not getting enough REM time and don't dream much in my sleep. it feels like my dreams start seeping into my reality rather than the other way around..... deja vu and pareidolia also tend to uptick around the same time but not always.

    Most talks on pareidolia understandably focus on facial recognition, but I used to see all sorts of things including other creatures, objects, and geometric patterns. I believed they were clues, puzzles, and omens God had sent me to make sense of. I thought it was God's main method of communication with me. So, I would like to hear more about its effect on religious minds.

    I absolutely have this. I see faces everywhere! Sometimes, I even take photos of random faces I see in various things. Sometimes other people see it too, sometimes they don't. I love it. It feels like an innocent little secret or mystery that only I know. 😊

    I was shocked you didn’t bring up the works of Beverly Doolittle. Many of Her paintings are masterpieces at that. The first times I saw one of her prints on the wall behind the cashiers where I banked. All I saw was a gold miner and his pack mule going up a wilderness river. Then suddenly one day, as if scales fell from my eyes, I could see the indigenous faces surrounding him. It was stunning.

    Watching this while extremely tired and also after a glass of wine I was really like "well... they kinda do look inverted to me, I don't see the trick". Then I heard what you said about sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption, now it makes sense 😅

    5:30 Wtf, I already knew It'd be Lincoln from those blocks alone. How is that even possible with such a degraded image? Edit: Ah maybe I already saw this before but forgot. And apparently it is a thing ^^

    Because one presumes you've been seeing pictures of Abraham Lincoln regularly your whole life and he had very distinctive facial structure and hair. The whole point of the exercise is that *most* people who know what Abraham Lincoln looked like are going to recognize him from those blocks. You don't need to have seen this particular blocky image before, you just know what Lincoln looks like.

    I love this. It was a long time before I realized the Ontario license plates I grew up surrounded by were mean to have the British crown silhouetted in the middle of the number code. I always read the icon as a desperately panicked little cartoon character dude looking downward with bug-eyes and frowning with three exposed jack-o-lantern-like teeth. I assumed the cross shape was some kind of head or hat antenna, or perhaps a single baby hair. I wondered for even longer why the Toronto district school board's logo appeared to have a backwards green crescent from the Pakistani flag on it, until I finally saw the 3D green apple in the negative space. If anyone looks up the Ontario license plate after reading this, I hope you can say "hi" to my poor nerveous bug-eyed buddy. Maybe he'll make you a safer driver. Once it click, you just can't unsee him.

    i wonder if there's a conflict with the extra pattern recognition that comes with autism and the reduced facial expression awareness? i personally have always had a high awareness of faces in things but i also have anxiety so its hard to tell!

    Weirdly enough, the backwards mask illusion actually seems to work better for me upside down. Right side up, it takes me a second to see it, but upside down I see it immediately. Bonus fun fact: The word “emoticon” comes from a combination of “emotion” and “icon”, but the word “emoji” actually has a completely different origin. It comes from the Japanese 「絵文字」, with 「絵」 (e) meaning “picture”, and 「文字」 (moji) meaning “letter/character”. Until I found that out, I had always wondered what the deal was with all the non-face emojis.
