Do you know how to see? Or are you simply just looking?
Yes - I've been reading Castaneda. I've also been talking to Drrice and I certainly can't forget the Pale One when I write.
I have been able to see exactly once and it only lasted about 20 seconds. Maybe I wasn't ready or maybe I was and my mind shut it off fearing for itself. While I can't tell you specifically about my experience (because everyone will see in a different way) I can say that the world I was seeing appeared more beautiful and clear than I have ever seen before.
We should consider that we only see what we want to see and we do not actually 'see' the world because we may be scared of what we find. I'm on a path that I can never turn back from. No matter where I go in my life I have gained knowledge that will always be with me. I see this as a gift and a curse because while I am thankful for the knowledge I have, the more I acquire the more difficult life becomes.
I don't expect it to get any easier and I think that this uphill battle is too much for most people and that is why they refuse to see a purpose in this pursuit. Perhaps this is why people do not see, and only look, because in order to be able to see you must want it.
This desire is what separates me from others who share this physical world with me. Most will not even consider that anything aside from what you can physically see and touch is possible, and while some will consider it they still will not believe it.
Why is it so hard to believe? We, as a culture in the United States, watch X-Men and Twilight and play Halo3 and we love these things but.. only as pieces of science fiction. Why do we need to quarantine them in that way? There is a part of us that enjoys the possibilities - so why do we shut it off and limit it to video games, books, and movies?
..And the amount of time spent on these activities is another blog for another time.
But for now let's consider what we see. Are we merely looking at something? Or can we see the deeper meaning?
