the Blind spot.





There is a blind spot in the world we see, and just by looking at it properly, it breaks down hard stereotypes and becomes the starting point for finding a true me.


Blind spots in the dictionary sense refer to the part of our retina where the image of an object does not form because there is no poetry cell.


To explain further, we see and perceive the world through the shape of the retina.

It's like seeing the world on TV


In other words, we've never seen the world in real life, and we live in response to a picture on the screen called retina.


On the screen called retina, there is a poetic cell that accepts the stimulus of light, which causes the retina to form an image, called blind spots where the optic nerve transmits the information of the pictures to the brain.


The optic nerve comes out to the back of the eyeball and is directed to the brain, and there is no response to light because there is no visual cell in the area where the optic nerve escapes.


However, the sense of retina is lost from blind spots, and the brain cavity is cognitively secured.

In other words, if our brains don't protect the picture of the hole on their own, we will always live looking at the world of the hole.


We talked about the hole in front of us, but the hole is the door that leads to the world, and there is truth outside the door. 


If you're really looking for yourself, you don't look at blind spots as weaknesses, you don't see them as weaknesses. 

Rather, through blind spots, the black hole is an opportunity to see the reality of the world.

Not the object, but the door to myself.


It's hard to believe, but it's true that we live by looking at the images on the retina.

Technically speaking, it's not something to look at, but through optic nerves, it's a sign to the brain that recognizes it.


It is not only visual, but also all senses, such as sense of smell, hearing, taste, touch, etc.

This is also the biggest reason why we live with this "body."


There is a saying, "Turn the light" in the words of the old Zen master. 

You can't turn the light, but the words of the line sound silly if you just follow the meaning.


But if the speaker is not a fool, then who is a fool? 

We are afraid to be fools. 

So one of Zen master kindly said, "Better be a fool." 


This fool is a fool who can proudly say that he doesn't know. 

But clumsy fools want to hide their stupid blind spots no matter what.


Like our brains, busy concealing blind spots in the retina, even if we don't want to think, automatically.

Cover and cover our blind spots.


We are blocking ourselves from the opportunity to face the truth, without our knowledge, without being pretentious, like a habit.


Then, let's go back to what we said earlier, and remind ourselves of the silly saying, "Return the light."

The shapes, smells, sounds, tastes, and sensations felt by our five senses seem different, but they are not different.


Because, all that sense feeling is turned into an "electrical signal" and transmitted to the brain.

The "brain" that receives and synthesizes all signals is an important part of the body, that is not me.


So where is the source of all the information from the brain, or the source of it?


I explained it needlessly, but if you want to check it right now, pinch the back of your hand.
