the mind determines what you see
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”
-Robertson Davies
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought that my eyes are what see the world in front of me. But the truth is our eyes don’t see anything, they just collect information and feed it to our brain—so it is our brain that actually sees.
I don’t know how much our mind shapes the physical world we see—I don’t think we can make a tree appear that isn’t already there. But, I do know the world we see through experience is impacted by our mind.
You can’t see good, if your mind is not able to comprehend good.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
