How We See


How we see the world:

this is how we see the world, truly so, before we translate what's seen to another way of understanding - our initial view is of first innocence, no judgement yet reached of anything seen, nothing but an easy flow of our own continuous expression in seamless landscape from our gaze. No distinctions are made between view and observer, we are not witness to the scene, just pure participation, scenery itself somehow found aware. It's how we first see the world, and even now it's lasting, lingering past translation. 

simply seeing.

our beliefs happen quickly, informing us of a world we wish to see, a learned means of evaluation to what's seen. It's our initial separation, observer now, apart from scenery and everything given measure and value. The world is seen divided, no longer our own seamless landscape, objects found distant in their arrangement, separate from our view. 

illusions. 

it's an easy return, following our gaze from any object back towards the source which holds the view, searching for a seer, witness, anything that can really claim itself to be separate from what's seen. Yet nothing's found, looking directly back and no seer is present, only scenery, the world, and a spacious understanding that's been here all along, familiar, allowing, quite by its very nature. 

we're seeing, again, and still.
