Do we know that? cannot be seen by physical vision but what consciousness exists when out of the body or bodily consciousness? Does the soul see in the Soul World or in the higher Subtle Regions? Its a funny thing to say but I do not think we see through our eyes. It is something that has always puzzled me.
On one hand, folks that have out of the body experiences, which are *way* too widely reported for science to ignore and in environments already highly documented or scientific such as accident and emergency wards, report being able to see all around them ... no eyes.
On the other hand, the eye is fairly limited what it "sees" biologically is basically the one it is focusing on. So, I have never understood how we "see" the rest of the room around us. Additionally, in some medatitive states, I remember feeling like my eyes had been widdened and that I could see or be aware of much more around me.
This is way off into crackpot realms but I am wondering if the eyes are not really our organs of vision but more like our organs of position, e.g. trigonomic tools to measure distance within the material world. Considering in this the problems folks have when they lose an eye at judging distances. So what is it we are seeing with when we see visions or we see the Subtle Regions? What we are "seeing" is not there but we *are* seeing it. How do the trance messengers see?
This raises interesting questions about the mind/eye relationship and how the mind works as a receiver or "projector screen". It is funny but considering vision and the eye we see how body conscious our thoughts are.
