Seeing Sideways

MAP

See with new eyes.

Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to stop seeing out of the old ones.  But it is worth the wait – and the struggle if need be – to open to a whole new world to yourself that you haven’t seen before but has always been waiting there for you to see.

It is not a mistake that you don’t see everything at once.  You would be overwhelmed – and you do not like that. Information overload you say, too much information.  Your brain hurts. 

So ease into it if you must or jump in with both feet.  Either way, whatever works for you.

Just do it.

You get tired of seeing the same old things – you just don’t know it.  Your natural curiosity dulls which dulls you.  The growth of you inside is what keeps you alive.

Your eyes change over time naturally – so should the way you see.

You hadn’t thought of that before – that your eyes, [and] the way you see are two different things.  One is an organ, a biological process.  The other is organic – a natural, spiritual process.  What you see and how you see are two entirely different things.

Don’t be upset that your eyesight changes – use that as a reminder to see differently once again.  Your beliefs change what you see and what you see changes your beliefs.  What is seen in this world is entirely dependent on where you are inside.

Two people can look at the greatest mountain, the shiniest star or the glassiest lake and see two entirely different worlds.  Stand with a scientist and you see another world altogether once again.

Go in and go out – back and forth – with what you see.  Swing to and fro and you will capture all the sights in between.

Use your natural curiosity to see more, to see at another level, to see at an angle or upside down.  Just start to see differently from always looking head on.

If you walk with your eyes down – look up.  If you walk with your eyes up – look down.  There is another world for you to see.

Look into another person’s eyes, beyond the surface to inside their head.  Even do this with a picture or an animal.  Look at the branch of a tree or the cloud movements in the sky.

What do you see?

It is not good enough to say the cloud or the sky, a branch or an eye. Describe to me the bumps and gnarls, the swirls and sworls.
