SUMMARY

In this text, Matías reflects on the importance of vision, both physical and internal. He highlights that our eyes often deceive us when perceiving the external world and that true vision is found in what we do not consciously see, within ourselves. It also explores the relationship between vision and spirituality, suggesting that we must look deeply at ourselves to understand our inner truths and not rely exclusively on the external truths that constantly bombard us in the information age. The main idea is that by awakening our inner vision and facing our inner shadows, we can see the world with greater clarity and understanding.

PHRASE

“The eye becomes the primary tool of cognition, of wisdom, since through the eyes external images are perceived and internal images are visualized.”

EXERCISES

• 1.Eye Meditation: Find a quiet place and sit comfortably. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a few minutes to relax. Then, open your eyes and look at your reflection in a mirror. Look deeply into your own eyes, without blinking, as if trying to see beyond the surface. This practice will help you connect with yourself and explore your inner world.

  2.Conscious gaze meditation: Practice conscious gaze in your daily life. When interacting with other people, especially during meaningful conversations, maintain eye contact in a soft and natural way. Look into the other person’s eyes and allow this practice to help you establish a deeper, more authentic connection with others.

  3.Vision Mindfulness Meditation: In your daily life, practice mindfulness of what you see. When you are outdoors, observe the beauty of nature around you. In your everyday environment, pay attention to visual details that often go unnoticed. This practice will help you develop a greater appreciation for the world around you and see the beauty in the little things.
