The World
Is As You See It

By IGOR KUFAYEV

When one sees from the Heart,
one’s vision is said to be adjusted…

At that very instant, before any sensory experience kicks in, we feel the gripping sensation at the very core of our being… A split second after, the immediacy of the event is being “assessed” by the cognitive responses, and we act in accord with the inborn reflexes, or the way we’ve mastered the instincts.
