Eyes To See...

[Guest guest]

Hello Lists,

 

I got up this morning, and it is a gorgeous, sunny, very breezy day in the

Seattle, WA. area. As I looked at the scene out of my balcony, I got the

strong idea that rather than looking at something, my eyes were

*projecting* the scene in front of me, the scene was emanating from my

eyes, as if my eyeballs were a source of light themselves. And then I

wondered, if I could turn my eyeballs around inside my head 180 degrees, so

they were looking in the EXACT OPPOSITE direction they are now, so they

could look at the source of what was projecting this beautiful scene, what

would they see?

 

What would they see?

 

 

With Love,

 

Tim

Hello Lists,

 

I got up this morning, and it is a gorgeous, sunny, very breezy day in the

Seattle, WA. area. As I looked at the scene out of my balcony, I got the

strong idea that rather than looking at something, my eyes were

*projecting* the scene in front of me, the scene was emanating from my

eyes, as if my eyeballs were a source of light themselves. And then I

wondered, if I could turn my eyeballs around inside my head 180 degrees, so

they were looking in the EXACT OPPOSITE direction they are now, so they

could look at the source of what was projecting this beautiful scene, what

would they see?

 

What would they see?

 

Harsha: A fine question indeed Tim. Thank you. In themselves, as you know,

physical eyes have no power to see. Probably the optic nerves pick up

signals send them to the brain and in association with existing tendencies

and latencies, some perception or another takes place and is given an

interpretation. But your question points to the great mystery of the

Perceiver who perceives through the eye. Who is that Eye of the "I". What

happens when that "I" turns truly upon itself (180 degrees) and faces it

self. That is a central and a most fascinating question.

Marcia:

 

I don't think this is possible as turning 180 degrees is a linear

turn whereas the Eye of the "I" is in a different dimension or

includes more dimensions than that of the "I" alone.
