Be SKEPTICAL

Firewalking is based on simple physics, not on any form of super natural psychological control. The temperature of the coals may be as high as 1,200°F. However, coals are like the air in a hot oven: They are very inefficient at transferring heat during brief contact.

Learn to separate high-qualilty information from misleading fiction:

• Be Skeptical
• Consider the source of information
• Ask yourself if there was a control group
• Look for errors in distinguishing between correlation and causation.
• Be sure to distinguish between observation and inference.
• Beware of oversimplification, especially those motivated by monetary gain.
• Remember, "for example" is not proof.

We are all bombarded daily with such a mass of new information that it is difficult to absorb it. It becomes important that you become a critical, selective, and informed consumer of information.
