Making it big
And beautiful. My eyes are cameras. They're recording right now. Everything I've ever seen and done, theres a tape in my brain and sometimes it repeats things. Small details that add up to nothing and everything. With out this perspective, without these recordings i might have stayed on repeat. But now I'm actually playing, no more fast forwards and no more rewinds. Just here and now in every moment as one slowly fades into the next. And this is so exciting, watching the colors change. I must be in love with everything.

But the reality is that you look out through tiny holes – as if you had a bag over your head with two quarter inch holes to look out of. And although you have a restricted view of the world, the world has a better view of you than you do of yourself. In fact you can’t directly see yourself at all.
So it seems that one’s reality is merely a point of view. And the world’s view of us is much more honest than our view of ourselves.
True but what about the parts of the world that don't see me? I am in direct contact with my point of view daily, so i can see it's changes. Others view of me is not necessarily accurate because I'm merely reacting to their presence in any given moment, but is that reaction necessarily accurate to the essence of my being? The worlds view may be a larger perspective but it's also constantly reflecting back on me. It's like a mirror, so I'm looking at the world and it's looking back at me and it's reflecting everything I see and when I see Beauty I know that I'm doing something beautiful and when I see sadness and disappointment i know that i must not be doing enough, in the worlds perspective of me. I see these reflections daily, so in that aspect my eyes are a camera and i can reflect back on what they've recorded previously and react more consciously.
What you say is also true – our eyes see nothing – we create in our mind’s projection the images we experience, and thus we are totally responsible for what we create.
But we also become so oblivious to the familiar around us, such that only the exceptions in our environment authentically register. This is why we fail to recognize the idiosyncrasies in ourselves that accumulate over the years but which are so obvious to others. In that way the feedback from others is not only more accurate but is essential to our understanding of how we really are.
Well then I totally agree! I think i've just recenly come to that understanding and i guess thats why i enjoy so much of what i'm seeing :)
