Heroes Not Zombies

I love to see a reflection like this. It’s beautiful. It also makes me think…..because when the reflection is as vivid as this we can’t see what lies beneath the water’s surface.

When I know there’s something there but I can’t see it I think of the invisible.

We are surrounded by, penetrated by, made of, three flows….material, energy and information. Only the materials are visible, and those only on their surfaces.

We can see the food we eat, the water we drink, but not the molecules from which they are made….at least not unless we use a microscope.

We can’t see the flows of energy which vibrate within us…the electromagnetic energies, the Life Force, the energies we call “vibes” which we can pick up when we walk into a room.

We can’t see information but our bodies detect it in several forms all the time, using our senses. We process all the information constantly, passing it through our bodies, our heart, our gut, our brain.

Most of what happens in our body and our brain, moment by moment, is invisible. We say it occurs unconsciously.

Crucially, and this is something we routinely forget, our entire experience of life is invisible. Only I know what life is like for me. Only you know what you are experiencing. We all live as subjects, and the subject never reveals itself as an object.

We know each other, subject to subject, only by getting in tune with each other, by resonating with each other. Saint Exupery put it best…It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
