You got me

In the past, people probably didn't even know they were looking at the world through eyes, they just thought it was the world.It is just in the world its just there yiy jbiwm ryr;s xloaesm tigyggttoubf rgw ybuvweaw I got disoriented trying to touch type there and now i don't know what I was saying, it's a challenge to anyone who can decode it, I guess it's solvable.
Anyway, my point is that they didn't realise they were looking at the world through eyes, and when they got old, they didn't realise that their sight was getting worse, they probably thought the world was getting fuzzier. They perhaps thought that while they were old and useless in this rapidly changing world. They would believe that It was not that youth had clearer eyes, but that they were simply more able to navigate in a fuzzy world.
Now we know that it is not because the youth are more attuned to some higher, newer truth, it is because they see clearer. Not clearer than you ever saw, you simply stopped looking with clarity.
I am just reminded of a quote from george bernard shaw... i think... something about how its important to wipe clean the windows of your perception or something. forget it.
Anways, the point is I think mysticism is expressing some kind of ancient truth. But I'm talking anciently back down the evolutionary scale, I'm talking pre homo sapien here. "You're imagining it!" it reminds you, as you delve deeper than your preconceptions of the world. "You're seeing through your eyes, not simply knowing what the world looks like." it prods as you delve deeper than your senses. "There is no external and internal" as it finally remembers back to before the first cell enclosed in a membrane, the committer of the original sin.

Very interesting take on things.
