What do you see?

I'm a day late on this posting due to being out of the office yesterday, sorry. My reflection today is on vision - specifically, what we see inside as well as outside. Now, this is not a vision test as administered in an opthalmologist's office, but rather a test of how much we perceive of what is going on in the world around us.

Spiritual teachers over millenia have commented on our ability to deceive ourselves - to see what is not really there. The path to spiritual health, wellness and wholeness (HW2) therefore, is to have our vision become real and true. That is, to have our vision clarified by focusing on things other than our own self centered world view. For many years (more than 25 now) I have been near sighted to the extent that I've required glasses to see things at a distance. I become a certain age and have had to move to "progressives" which allow me to see both near and far. Though corrective lenses have allowed me to view things at a distance, I find that often my "inner eye" has not been corrected enough to do the same.

How is it with your inner eye? How do you view the things that are going on in your inner self? How is it that you perceive the world around you - and how does your vision help you to interpret what you see?

It may be time for corrective lenses for your inner eye. There are many resources for this. One of the most helpful for me is to unplug from the noise of the world and to reconnect with the Other outside of me that has the ability to show me the truth. I wish the same clarity for each of you.

May your vision clear and your HW2 improve!

Peace,
Dan
