This life’s five windows of the soul,

distorts the Heavens from pole to pole,

and leads you to believe a lie,

When you see with, not thro’, the eye.

∼William Blake

It is said that love is blind, and along those same lines, we recognize that “hate is blind,” “fear is blind,” and “anger is blind,” as well. Intense emotions obscure our sight and distort what is actually before us. Our perceptions become distorted and we suffer from a type of “mind-blindness.” When we see through the eyes of hate, we see enemies. When we see through the eyes of fear, we see danger. When we see through the eyes of anger, we see conflict. When we look through our eyes and not with our emotions, we actually stand a chance of seeing the bona fide reality. Our sponsors have the job of acting as our seeing-eye dog so that we may navigate these intense, distorted emotions. They help us see through life’s “blind spots.”

I do not allow my mind-blindness to keep me

from seeing my spiritual possibilities.

I was completely blind to life and had no idea what it was all about. I had no principles, no values. But you people loved me until I was able to establish some principles and values to use in everyday living.
