Title: Seeing

Everyone can “see,” and yet we choose not to remember what we “see.”

When a man is not concerned with “seeing,” things look very much the same to him every time he looks at the world. When he learns to “see,” on the other hand, nothing is ever the same every time he “sees” it, and yet it is the same. To the eye of a seer, a man is like an egg. Every time he “sees” the same man he “sees” a luminous egg, yet it is not the same luminous egg.

The eyes of man can perform two functions: one is “seeing” energy at large as it flows in the universe and the other is “looking at things in this world.” Neither of these functions is better than the other; however to train the eyes only to look is a shameful and unnecessary loss.
