Vision is dependent on light. That's a given. In absolute darkness the human eye doesn't see anything. But with even the smallest amount of light dissipating the darkness, shape and form begin to become apparent. More light allows more visibility; what seemed hidden is revealed. And when the light is full, not only do the small details become clear to normal vision but there is something so much more—there is vibrant color.
Obviously, for most people vision is defined by what the human eye takes in. Eyesight provides a basic frame of reference for observing the world around us and dealing with its exigencies.
Yet there is another way of seeing—what might in fact be termed "true seeing"—that is even more important for mankind. This may seem a startling pronouncement to human thought, which doesn't usually consider much beyond what appears to be the immediate physical world. Still, it is only our spiritual vision that can enable us to discern what reality actually is.
