Seeing without the mind

Posted on by philipdodson

Seeing the world, for the first time, with total wonder and amazement. Seeing that brings complete joy and euphoria. That’s how a baby sees.

It does not label from the mind as it does not yet have the words for what it sees. We however, label everything we see and as the mind sees it we look at things within the noisy mind stream. We look and the labelling word is spoken by the mind and it’s thoughts blind the vision with its unconsciousness.

If we choose to, we can look without labelling, without thought, as a baby does. Then we truly see with our soul and we can enjoy the wonder and amazement of pure consciousness and sight untainted by the minds story.

Blindness and a spectrum of colour

Wonderfully, thanks to medical advances, the number of people whose sight is completely blind is declining.

Sadly, due to human regression, the number of people ‘blind’ to others, their views and situation is increasing.

To see others we must first learn to understand, listen without evaluation and empathise.

No matter how opposite our worldviews are with another person, we can only influence, if that is what we seek, by understanding their world, their experiences, their environment that has shaped their views.

After all, there is no black and white, right or wrong, just a giant spectrum of different coloured worldviews.
