Confabulation- is an impressively big word!

Confabulation- Where people create false realities which they completely believe to fill in gaps in their consciousness. Often occurs after stroke or traumatic brain injury where the part of the brain which creates new memories is damaged. (scary place to be- cannot manage to understand why your in hospital/ rehab etc. so brain has to 'make up' a reality to explain it.

Anyway, it's also thought that everyone Confabulates at least to a certain extent- we all make assumptions constantly without really thinking about it and how often do we sing the wrong lyrics to a song but fully believe we know the song so well (that recent song is 'I wish I was a pom pom girl'- got nothing to do with punk rockers!!!....I apparently have an unconsciously obsession with cheer leaders!)

How much do we do this with God- we don't understand completely the reality of God and life etc. So how often do we fill in the gaps?! Bit of a scary thought- but then does faith play a part were we just trust God to reveal himself to us and provide the growing understanding that we need/ can handle each moment?
