I lost my eyesight during the Vietnam War and was totally blind for about 5-years,
and when I was blind I learned that while we may look at something with our eyes
we will only see it with our awareness. When I was blind I saw things that I failed to
see when I had 20/20 vision.
I have had to go through eye surgery more than a dozen times over the decades to regain,
and stablize, my eye sight. Right now I am typing this with only one eye because having
gone through eye surgery about a month ago, my left eye is covered. But still I use my
feelings, my awareness, or presence, to see.
I have no idea what it is that you saw, or what your dog was barking at. I can close my eyes
and feel someone's presence when they enter the room, and explore their presence with my
eyes closed. What I am saying is that I can see with my eyes closed. Again, we look with our
eyes but we see with our awareness.
