Remember stereogram images? The point of such an image is that when you see it in the right way, you see a three-dimensional image for most people not visible in ordinary sight. What you need to do is to make your vision blurry, give up on the standard habitual way of seeing, give up on your brain trying to make sense of what it sees, give up on the sharp, defined lines. At the moment that happens, a “bigger picture” hidden in the image starts to emerge. For some people, it is easier, for others harder. It depends on how much your brain is stuck and holding the known way of defining and perceiving the visual image. If you are flexible in that way, if your brain doesn’t cling to the known, it will be easy. If you are not, it will be hard.
In the same way, we are stuck with the habitual way to see the world. We see shapes, colors, and sounds in the way we are used to see them. It is actually just one specific way of seeing the world. As a civilization, our collective mind is used to see in this way and we believe it is reality. We see it in the same way in which we believe shapes in the stereographic image before the bigger picture are all there is and it seems there is no other way. From that, habitual perspective all we see and all we think there is are random shapes with no real meaning.
When we soften the focus and “blur our vision”, this time with our mind, suddenly a bigger picture opens itself in front of our eyes. Nothing is as defined anymore, the sharp borders of our ideas, views, beliefs, and even physical reality start to melt and everything starts dancing. The real reality gets revealed and instead of just one version of any given thing, suddenly there are many.
Explore this space, it is like you entering the backstage, you can see more clearly how things work in the front end. And who knows, maybe you return as a different upgraded person 😉
