at the sun
"Our body's eyes, never give us the union of the poles, instead they are always presenting us a partial aspect, a part of the things. But Thyresias has a unifying vision, a soul's vision that allows him to have "psychic readings", that is a skill to "see the whole picture" of things, men and situations." Jorge Bosia More than a source of light, the sun is a strong source of energy. Nevertheless our visual culture seems to need only it's light. Because of the light there is a shadow and because of this contraposition there are contrasts. These contrasts make ourselves conscious that there aren't two things that look exactly the same. Like sunsets which are always different. But, if we look at the sun directly, it'll blind us and we'll loose our notions about shape: the optic nerve will saturate and only then we will be conscious about all the different kinds of energy our body can perceive through the other senses. For a moment we are in contact with a richer and less taxative reality. This trip to another way of perceiving the frequencies that surround us is extremely short. At the end the pupil will adapt to the new light situation and the eye will take its power again. |
