Statement
of Visual Perspective
Let me ask you
this question… When you look out of your eyes how many images
of the world do you see, one or two? We have two eyes, but we only
see one image! We don't see those two images because our minds create
a single representation. Yes, stereoscopy is a nice word but its'
definition does not deal with what is happening in our heads. And
there’s an interesting problem with that:
Look at the question
mark with your right eye while covering your left eye with your
hand. Keep your eye on the question mark. (You may need to move
so that your right eye is directly in front of it or you may need
to adjust your distance from the page to make this work for you.)
What will happen is the X will disappear and the line will appear
to continue unbroken in your peripheral vision.
The fact that
you have a blind spot is not the issue. It's the fact that your
brain fills in the image in your mind. (Incorrectly, though based
on patterns and trends, regardless of what you know.) This begs
the question, what else is my mind creating for me? - Meanwhile
physics is telling us, one way or another, that life is really just
a bunch of energy patterns. I wish to stress the fact that we all
create the world as an image in our heads and even though that image
is validated by our experiences it is only an image. It is an image
that seems to break apart into smaller and smaller divisions until
what mattered becomes more energetic than real. (This is what we
are taught, the division of matter, even where it no longer seems
to divide.) I have become fascinated by this “energetic space”
and over time I have come up with a kind of short hand to talk about
it, or around it, in many different ways.
