1
Our great intelligence causes great anxiety.
2
There's a burden to our cognitive enlightenment.
3
As existential organisms, there's all sorts of supernatural beliefs that we invest in.
4
There's the common ones that most people are familiar with related to the religious traditions that we're part of,
5
but there's also all sorts of other types of supernatural beliefs such as the belief in ghosts, a belief in other types of spirits,
6
a belief in psychic powers, a belief in almost superhuman abilities like mind reading.
7
We also invest in things that aren't necessarily hardcore beliefs but that we might refer to as supernatural light, things like UFOs and aliens.
8
Our interest in the supernatural is probably a story as old as our species.
9
There's something about wanting to not be confined by earthly parameters.
10
The story of supernatural thinking is a complex one.
11
That is, there's not just one source or one cause of our supernatural interest, but a big one is the realization of our mortality.
12
Supernatural beliefs give us some sense that even though life on this planet is short, even though it's uncertain.
13
There's a part of me that is more than that.
14
There's a part of me that's beyond my material existence.
15
I have some spiritual essence that transcends mortality.
16
We also have to deal with the loss of loved ones.
17
And supernatural beliefs help us deal with loss.
18
When a loved one passes, we gain some sense of comfort and our sadness that we still remain connected to them in some way.
19
In some way, the relationship persists, even though they're not physically with us anymore.
20
All animals at some level need to make sense of the external world.
21
It helps to have some basic understanding of cause and effect.
22
But what makes humans unique is not only do we need to make sense of our external world
23
so we can navigate it, but we also have an internal world.
24
We're very introspective.
25
We're highly self -aware, and so we want to make sense of our own lives.
26
And supernatural beliefs can help us make sense of the external world by helping make it more orderly and predictable,
27
but it also plays a critical role in helping us make sense of our own existence.
28
At some level, all humans are aware of the fact that we're tiny.
29
We're tiny in a lot of ways, right?
30
If you think about our relative size in the universe,
31
we're just a tiny speck on a planet that's just a tiny part of a much larger universe.
32
In addition to that, if you think about the concept of time, that also makes us feel small.
33
We know that our time on this planet is very brief in the grand scheme of things.
34
Supernatural beliefs help us connect ourselves to something that solves that problem of smallness.
35
Even though I'm only here for a brief moment in time, I'm connected to others who have been here for a long time
36
and hopefully connected to others that will be here for a long time in the future.
37
As humans who are highly introspective, we have all sorts of insecurities and personal struggles that we have to deal with.
38
Supernatural beliefs in a lot of ways help us.
39
They help offer guidance.
40
They help us feel like there's some sense of order or purpose in our lives.
41
They're part of that dialogue with the self.
42
That's one of the reasons people pray, for instance, is they want to have a conversation
43
or connection with the divine as a way to help resolve some of their personal challenges and struggles.
44
So there seems to be a lot of evidence that supernatural thinking is natural to humans.
45
It's part of what it means to be a human, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's good.
46
Critics of supernatural beliefs would think that they can make us believe in things that are just scientifically false.
47
Supernatural beliefs can make people dogmatic, which can and contribute to serious conflict, even war.
48
At the same time, they are actually also quite good for us.
49
That anxiety inspires us.
50
It's part of the story of what makes us want to advance society
51
and to help others because we look beyond the mortal self.
52
Supernatural beliefs help us feel like we're part of a meaningful cosmic drama.

הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה

הדובר משתמש ב-13 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו we're, I'm, they're. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.

  • הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: existential /ˌɛɡzɪˈstɛnʃl̩/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
  • מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: supernatural /ˌsu.pəɹˈnæ.tʃə.ɹəl/, introspective /ˌɪntɹəˈspɛktɪv/, mortality /mɔɹˈtælɪti/, scientifically /ˌsaɪ.ənˈtɪfɪkli/, parameter /pəˈɹæm.ə.tɚ/

צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:

  • /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: supernatural /ˌsu.pəɹˈnæ.tʃə.ɹəl/, mortality /mɔɹˈtælɪti/, dogmatic /dɔɡˈmæt.ɪk/, transcend /tɹæn(t)ˈsɛnd/, parameter /pəˈɹæm.ə.tɚ/
  • /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: supernatural /ˌsu.pəɹˈnæ.tʃə.ɹəl/, introspective /ˌɪntɹəˈspɛktɪv/, mortality /mɔɹˈtælɪti/, orderly /ˈɔɹdɚli/, transcend /tɹæn(t)ˈsɛnd/
  • עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: introspective /ˌɪntɹəˈspɛktɪv/, transcend /tɹæn(t)ˈsɛnd/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
