" I stilt my fantasies to reflect the evidence and spin the evidence to
support my fantasies, therefore, I believe what I want to believe...I,
therefore, 'see what I want'. If I don't like what I see, what 'I want' is
up for examination, because my fantasies are facts supported by evidence.
Any viewpoint can be confirmed, and belief validated to the satisfaction
of the believer by the very nature of belief.
The purpose of examining vision is to discover 'how' you see, not what you
see. The result of the examination reveals that sight is very nearly
totally blinding and 'what' is seen is quite worthy of doubt. It is but a
symbol of highly variable opinions 'held' as reality, focused upon to the
exclusion of all else for a 'sense' of security and stability, done in
order to validate that that sense is needed and senses themselves can be
reliable when no two people EVER see the same thing the same way.
What is seen is what has been willed to see and rarely what is really
there...if ever.
..and that's just another opinion.

Just thought this might be of interest to some people on this list.
Sometimes we can be so busy looking under every stone (CS, zappers, herbs,
etc.) for our needs that we forget to look to the Rock.
