To See

As channeled by Marcia Wilson

To see is to focus one's vision on a particular view or scene or object. We do it many, many times, in many different ways. Even those who have no sight focus their attention as they sense or view that which they cannot see. We take this seeing for granted for the most part. We view it as something that is always there though we're quite aware of need for help in correction of minor eye problems. What do we see when we look? We take in so much information at a glance that when we are asked to recall, we have to stop and sort it out and make a list. Witnesses to crimes are often surprised at how much information they have when they are asked specific questions.

To see is to look, but as we look do we really see? Is it all surface or do we take in information that comes with the looking? Granted there can be too much information so that our sensing filters out much of what we take in, but we need to look at how we can balance the looking. Whether it is too much on one end of the looking or too little, we need to become more aware of that which we focus our attention on. We can look in a way that our seeing tells us when a person is in need, when we need to be aware of our surroundings, when we need to look inwardly instead of outwardly. There are so many different ways of seeing. We can see or sense with our minds, we can see with understanding, we can see with perception, and we can see with the two eyes and the third eye. The third eye is known to many, yet it is not something that is commonly known. It is located just above the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead. It is the most clear of the eyes that one can have and yet it must be developed to be used. It is always there and for the most part, always available. It is just that a shift in perception must be taken in order to have the vision that comes from that eye. Close your eyes and "look" up to that area, a nice safe space. Become aware of it but don't rush it. When things or views appear, try not to figure what they are or what they mean. Simply look at them as if they are on a screen. If you are serious about developing this eye, make a list of the things you see. With your notes, you may find that it is like the seeing that one uses when reading. Do this only when you are relaxed and have the patience to observe. To expect to get instant results is not being aware of the need for the skill to see to develop. Make your viewing short and your expectations that of quiet looking. If there is nothing at first, do not be discouraged but continue to look at that space when you are in a relaxed state of mind. To see or not to see ....that is the question.
