I would have to agree with you interest in the eye ball. How can something that is so thin on the face of the eye, still be so deep when you look into it. It's like seeing into someones central nervous centre or something. I am amazed at how real and touchable eyes make things appear, but alas its just a snap snap snap image in my eye and not my eye accually reaching out and touching the thing that I see.

Last January I had RPK laser eye correction, now my vision is 20-20. However since I was in 1st grade I have had to wear glasses because I couldn't see 6 inches past my nose, maybe less. So for me when I got that done I sat up and immediatly knew that my life would never be like it was, because for me it was like being able to walk again, it truely felt like a miricle had happened. I am so thankful everyday that I can now just wake up and use my eyes. And it has furthered my interesting and wonderment at the eyes, but also realizing what they did was sculpt my lens. Something simple and physical. Has this changed my outlook on life? Perhaps, many positive changes and insights has occured since that time. I can say its JUST the eyes, but in some ways maybe it helped me feel free.

Lastly I would like to agree with your thought Merc. I my mind there are alot of things that people are percieving to be real and accurate. Science states that there is only truth in measurable outcomes, and that sciences goal is to find more ways to measure mysteries. This said I would like to use an Einstein quote where he states "That a problem can't be solved in the consciousness it was conceived" From a simple view, that to me means that science who has alot of reasons for its searching, ranging from Atheist to Spiritual. My question is are we using all our senses to perceive answers. Are there variables that we can't even fathom? Variable so important that we haven't even scratched the surface of REAL answers? This heavily influences my interest in Earth Based spiritualality and medicine, as well as an admireation of how the Hindu path has so much logic as to solve many problems, create ideas and explain things. These things as well as many Earth Based practices have been true for eons and eons, but now science has begun to show that these methods are indeed correct based on their understanding, and they can often explain why they work. What they can't touch on is HOW THESE PEOEPLE KNEW SO LONG AGO, and with out "accurate" measuring devices.

I surly believe there are things we don't know about our humaness yet, eyes included. We are all capable to love all and harm none, and we haven't all realized or experianced that yet, so why not more mysteries that our unrealized consciouness hasn't began to ponder in the modern sense of science. What if science and religion weren't always viewed as polar opposites,and science at large began meditation as the first step to the scientific process?

In Love
