Your EYE (“I”) is an Aperture
The EYE is an aperture, an actual, real, physical opening between the world around us and the world within us. When we stand before each other — we look into our eyes and we see the physical eyes of another person.
Sometimes the eyes express what the person is thinking or feeling. Sometimes you cannot really tell what’s going on inside the other person. My painting (at left) is a story about the journey of walking back and forth on the sands of our personal existence.
We each live in TWO WORLDS — the outer world and the inner world.
The OUTER WORLD is the physical world around us, also called the material world. It is the world of objects, trees, birds, animals, clouds, grasses, other people, houses, computers, pens, pencils, tables, chairs and lots more. It is very important to realize how matter space (the outer world) is created by mind space (the world within us). Anais Nin said: “We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.”
The INNER WORLD is the formless, invisible, non-material world of MIND: memories, beliefs, thoughts, old family or childhood patterns, traumas, prejudices, fears, addictions, habits, ignorance, learned behaviors and more. The formless inner world is also where you can access your Higher Consciousness — which includes intuition, insights, principles — the ONE ever present, timeless, spaceless TRUTH of the boundless, Infinite Universal Mind, Unconditional Love.
“We are living at a time when one age is dying and the new age is not yet born. Courage is the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair. Courage is ontological — which means that courage is essential to our very BEING.” ~ Rollo May
“We each must learn to walk back and forth between matter space and mind space.” ~ Thane Walker, Founder of The Prosperos School of Ontology said this, and he created tools to help people practice the journey of self awareness. Learn more: https://www.theprosperos.org/
If you are interested in learning how to walk back and forth between matter space and mind space, I recommend that you get the book, Self Observation, by Red Hawk, and join my Ontology Book Club. Email me: heather@theprosperos.org.
