Tunnel vision
I have learnt an interesting exercise the other day, for reaction time which entailed having a player chase after a shuttle that had been hit by me from behind them. It is amazing how limited our vision is when something comes from behind. This got me thinking. What we class as reality is basically what we see in front of us. Yet this would have to be such a tiny % of what is there, and all of the rest is behind our vision. Why is this I ask myself, that we have such a limited range of vision. Well, I conclude it is because a/. evolution is a part of developing our vision. Why is it not just dropped on us in God like fashion? Well, because the process is actually a bit like a movie, it is the fun part. The second is that we are afraid of what might be out there, so we don't allow anything to come in. We dare not play near the edge of our comprehension incase something we cant control gets through into our reality. What we do do is that we find things within our "reality" that we use to 'escape' our reality. This is of course an illusion. All we are in fact doing is putting our head in the sand for a short time so as to not have to look at what is in front of us, which we obviously don't like because we are seeking to escape. Appreciation must bring things into our vision from behind us, inspite of ourselves. So what is the answer. Well really it is to look in expectation and excitment at what else there is besides what is here. We have a natural instinct to be attracted to what we don't have. But usually we direct that at other things inside the 'reality' infront of us. In fact it was designed to get us to chase the ideas that we can't see yet.
Here I am now in a current situation now where I am tossing up between two options or more but actually I am sure, neither of them are correct. I keep seeking to win lotto because of what it represents. I see it as a free ticket to turn around and see what is currently behind my field of vision. But of course I have a metaphysical desire which is stronger. Because of that I have a believe that I can access that area without needing to win lotto and without acruing the hassles that will come with winning large.
So lets test the water. I open myself up to discover new things, that are beyond my current comprehension, without any fear, or predjudious towards anything.
