155. Look closer

I'm gonna jot this one down really quickly before my next patient comes in. I want to talk about our ability to see things. Now sure...we can all "see" (unless you're blind...in which case, my bad) but what I mean to talk about is the idea of truly seeing.

What the hell do you mean PSYCH!???? I'm glad you asked imaginary fans...

there are three levels of seeing...

1. Glancing. Most people in live life in a state of glance, a time at which people simply catch a quick look and turn away. As you drive for instance, you are constantly glancing and checking things out...

2. Looking and Seeing. This is when people actually take the time to see things and notice what it is and begin to memorize things about it. The color, the shape, the texture, if they are soft, hard, rough, wet, sticky, smooth, warm and moist (anyone get a sexual feeling from those?....sickos!).

3. Clarity and understanding. This is when you truly understand and work through what the "thing" means to you and how it fits into your life. This is what most people do NOT do. They lack the ability to actively incorporate "whatever" it is into the fabric of their lives, the knitting of their breath.

Now the thing is that not everything will fit into the knitting of your breath, and not everything will fit into who you are, the thing one must do is take the time to try and use clarity and understanding to figure out if things CAN fit into your life.

It is a yo-yo act. You move in and out of things...you connect to and pull away from random stuff....you try....you open up...you pull away your fear and consider the possible....consider the role that you and this "whatever" can do for you. This whatever can be anything...a car, a pencil, a eraser, a new lover, a hobby, a new type of porn....anything! Take the time to find clarity in all things.
