Valuing Seeing
What I am saying is that deep interest is primary. You must be interested in Seeing for it to have any impact on you. You must see its value before it has a chance to rise to awareness on a regular basis. The friends you mention who didn't see its value had no basis for pursuing it beyond the initial glimpse. I think you have to be ready for it, which could mean being fed up (to the back teeth, as Douglas put it) with the conventional way of seeing and considering the world. If you find this is so for you, you may just find that Seeing just snaps into place. It makes sense on first sight. It is immediately satisfying! This kind of connection is all the motivation needed to allow moments Seeing to happen spontaneously, when you don't even expect it. J.C.
