Hi Lon -
I am happy to post on your site. I agree that we see with our own eyes
and shen. That implied in my question, "Look in the eyes - what arises
in you? How is the focus and light refraction?" I think it is very
important, the idea the you convey about the status of the shen under
pressure and the hazy moon of enlightenment - if it is that and not
phlegm misting the mind. I see the light of the sun, moon and stars as
a refractory from the wu ji into a three fold notion of existence. So,
in "essence" they are part of the unfolding of the creative itself.
Warmly,
Will
