Vision described

To see with the eyes what the heart sees.

To hear with the ears what the mind knows.

To know the purpose of all things,

and to see its intended direction, and in this learn also that;

all things (man and beast) has purpose merely because ‘it exist.’

To know and sense that the outer is also the inner and to learn

to banish all intellectual distinctions and separation of the two.

To ‘be’ (in the truest sense of the word,)

and to understand the unity of all things.

This is vision!

A form of experiencing that holds no judgment but only pure appreciation of the soul, (which is the ‘self.’)

To know that the journey is never complete,

neither in heaven, / nor in hell, not even in god.

And that it is precisely because of this that the soul is ‘majestic,’

beyond any form of intellectual understanding and yet to experience it as ‘pure intelligence.’

Have you even had a vision?

Have you ever seen ‘the soul’ in the flowers in the garden?

In the good and bad deeds of man?

Have you ever had a vision?
