Blind people see nothing!

14 posts in this topic

I was surprised when I learned that many blind people don't see a black or white screen, but rather nothingnes. I know  You may find it difficult to understand what I mean by nothingness. You can try to close one of your eyes, what do you see with it? exactly, nothingness! 

Anyways, I felt like this nothingness is very similar to that we talk about in non-duality. This is the real nothingness, not black or white, it is like a trasnparent void.

@LSD-Rumi Imagine someone born blind and deaf, imagine what their 'thoughts' are like.

 Yeah I thought about it once. Maybe enlightenment to them is much easier.

      My thought is that intuition, which is what their thoughts would purely be, is itself a thought, actually the only real type of thought, and verbal visual thoughts are just intuition translated into verbiage and visuals.

"Seeing" the black void in a room where no light enters - for example a cave deep underground - is exactly the same as blindness.

In both circumstances no light enters the eye.

So yes, a blind person does not "see" black. But then neither do you.


Apparently.

No this is wrong. We see black because the visual nerve and the brain area responsible for seeing are working great, so when there is no light we see blackness. In some blind people this nerve or these areas are not working properly so they see nothing literally.

@LSD-Rumi I have been busy. I have not forgotten your case. I will look into it when I have some time.

You are blind right now to a 1000 senses other than your 5.

Snakes see in infrared.

Bats and dolphins see in sonar.

A goose can sense magnetic fields.

A sand shark can sense electric fields.

And I can sense bullshit ;)
