Inscrpition:
"Cut out your eyes. Can you see it now?"
Inspiration:
“...I've noticed that I'm becoming more and more deprived of my own sight. However, I had to ask myself, can something be learned from this?”
Meaning:
We go off of what we visually see and take that as the truth a lot of the time. What about your other senses? Your instincts? A lot of things that we are fed are lies. We even turn a blind eye to ourselves and our own flaws, and to eachother. So, if that's the case, close your eyes. Cut them out. And listen to your mind. Trust that it knows you best and accept the messages that it wants to deliver to your conscience.
I had a dream, two to be exact, but neither on the same day. Both were pleasant. Both were disgusting. And after meditating on it, I concluded that they shared the same message and both led me to become self aware of my most significant limitation, something that I'm working to fix about myself.
I say that to say, learn about yourself. Take time alone and really get to know yourself. Think about the things that will bring out your inner demons and avoid them. Get to understand your emotions, and most importantly, find your own inner peace. You will realize that a lot of situations can be avoided because, you'll have a level of emotional control so great that you will be able to think about and handle the things that are actually significant rather than let anger, negativity, insecurities, shortcomings, or anything related, blind you.
