What I see
“The
soul never thinks without a mental picture.” ― Aristotle
What I see
is not what everybody else sees. What I look at is different from other’s view.
What I am watching or observing is not important as what others view or see
because each and every picture is a mental impression that comes from the soul
and changes the perspective with every different beat of the heart as it
performs the miracle of seeing for everyone in a most unique and different way.
Seeing is
not like any other sense as it has much more of a dimension one can only
imagine. Seeing is not like hearing or touching or even tasting and smelling. It
is unique and triggered by the soul that paints a mental picture for you and
only you.
When you
create a vision you can change what you see and turn ice into rain and fire
into water. You can trick the mind with your own perception as you create what
you want to see in a most unique and personal way.
Seeing can
be spiritually induced or created. It does not have a natural or constant
factor to abide by and allows you to create a different landscape or image with
the touch of the imagination as you travel a voyage that consists not just of
what is real but also what you have created inside your mind. Thus the power of
seeing is often underestimated by many and therefore sold short of how it can
change your life.
A painter paints
the colors and shapes on the canvas with his mind and his eyes while a clay
maker can do the same with his hands. Both have a vision from the heart and
each is bewitched in their own passion to create something that hides inside
their soul.
There are no
vision that are the same, there are no identical visions. Each artists creates
their own and what I see differs what others might see standing in the same
place at the same time. It may be a difference in shapes, colors or other
attractions to beauty. These colors change when it is morning or if it is
night. The light brings out the different shades of pale and yet they may match
some of the others in the surroundings but never be the same.
What you can
see can be determined by sound, tone or colors of the rainbow. The vision can
be effected by light, by bright and dim and other luminous features that bring
out the figures and shapes that are translated in your mind.
Even upon
the closest inspection, what you can see could have been created by a mistake
in the eye yet beautiful just the same as if it wasn’t a mistake at all. It all
depends on your point of view, it all depends on how you learned to see things
and from what angle. Whether you see with an old set of eyes an some that are
new, it doesn’t matter for they will never see the same things that is planted
in the brain.
What may
seem to be large to someone could in fact be something that is small. Life is
full of connections and perceptions so you can’t tell one from the other unless
you have taken the time to learn and compare. Some call valleys mountains while
others call mountain peaks. It is all how you see the shapes and figures that
makes you want to seek.
What I see
may be flat, while others see it as a deep in-depth dimension plane filled with
grains of sand that is unseen by some but stands out to others as a matter of
time we never paid attention to before. We see what we want to see and hardly ever
pay attention to the other things that surround us.
Thus seeing
is a constant struggle to see what other see. What may be in front of one’s
nose may be distant for others but regardless how it is seen, it takes the
uniqueness of seeing to make your soul come alive. Shakespeare said “love looks
not with the eyes but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted
blind.” Such truth is rarely argued as we all know that love is blind indeed.
Some things
we see are mysterious to some but not to others. One quickly forgets that the
mystery is your eye and want message it sends to the mind. Yet we are told that
our eyes are the gateway to the soul and adding the mystery to the eye, each
soul can be said to be different from others.
Some say the
eye can see which man is noblest, supreme, strongest or wisest. Thus the eye is
a far reaching tool that must not be taken for granted for any reason. Perhaps it
is the attention to detail that gives the eyes such powerful influences on the
mind and heart. Perhaps it is these eyes that set our memory or taint the recall
with how we see by our other senses.
Perhaps it
is true what has been said for centuries now. We don’t see things as they are
but rather, we see them as we are or want them to be. Sometimes, you can see
best when you close your eyes. Other times your vision is clearer when you look
into your own heart, your soul and your mind to find your dreams, your
awakenings and your passion.
Thus we look
on the inside and the outside to get a better view. It is what makes life so
exciting. Whether seeing with vision or double vision, it does not matter for
you will only see what you want to see or if you are fortunate, what your
heart, your soul and your mind what to let you see. Everything else does not
matter as the art of being wise is to know what to overlook.
On the other
end of the spectrum, do not overlook the obvious. It may create a vacuum that
may cause your pain or grief. As the soul can speak with your eyes, a kiss can
dampen your gaze and drive you into a state of panic if you don’t take the time
to understand what you just experienced.
Your confidence
comes from the view and the view comes from your senses that have put your mind
in order to remind you that the human doesn’t see things as they are but
rather, as it is. True confidence comes from the view and we do not see
everything in complete detail but we do in fact prioritize our seeing so we can
enjoy the environment more completely.
