In my own personal quest to understand creation its history and its maker, I have traveled throughout Asia and the America’s. While one can never understand someone else’s complete life experience. Most places I went I saw and felt a joy I didn’t know and a way of living that was foreign to me. I also saw pain, suffering, jealousy and confusion at the injustice and seemingly unearned the privilege when confronted with someone from Australia.

The eyes are the window to the soul, we all know this deep down. In the western world people with cataracts and eye deformities are some of the most uncomfortable individuals to hold a gaze with. These individuals often wear sunglasses, not because they need to, but because of the personal discomfort they invoke in the everyday citizen. That is a pure example of humility.

It is quite an experience when you have been humbled so much, that in order to rehabilitate yourself you are trying to force yourself to make eye contact with people for as long as you dare, or if someone is kind enough as long as they will allow you. It is a beautifully awkward but empowering experience when you stumble upon a fool who thinks that he has to hold eye contact to assert his dominance. You get to practice, and he gets revealed to everyone else in the room for the fool he is.

It is through the eyes that we can come to understand each other and spirits to a small degree. If you have never had the privilege of an epiphany in thought or, a experience that was so great you knew it was from outside of yourself and therefore spiritual. There is a very subtle re/action that lets us know we are all interconnected and that we have no control over it. It is the involuntary and seemingly random glance in a direction which was previously a blind spot only to find that a person or an animal is looking at you.

This is a shared experienced that we know to be real but have little control over. Often individuals and wild animals don’t like being looked at directly in the eyes. Through this practice you are being searched, evaluated, and explored. During this moment both individuals are lowering their own veil, while simultaneously a disarmament is occurring for the other. From such interactions judgments can quickly be made and represented through the eyes and the rest of the face. These judgments are often uncomfortable, they can be disdain or adoration.

Often an individual will seek to lock eye contact with figures of authority so that they can judged and decided if they are worthy of a privileged position that person is in and will either seek to subtly destabilize or empower this individual. Depending on how privileged a position it is, the more it will be tested, because the more vital it is to humanity.

Holding eye contact with someone is a privilege, no pure warrior worth his salt is even going to acknowledge a completely inferior warrior within his ranks, but of course, such humility may force the inferior warrior to become an assassin, the warriors blind spot.

Sometimes though there is curios respect, because the individual knows the other is onto something they know not, and they desire to find out exactly what it is.
