Eyes of a Predator
One of the objectives of the Toltec strategy of refining awareness ;
For humans, the eyes dominate our sensory input.
Human eyes are set squarely on the front of the head
because our foraging is of the hunter, an inbuilt attitude like an owl and a cat.
The eyes of a predator have a mood that is only sometimes useful.
But the unTrained mind uses the predator’s eyes for everyThing,
We who dissent from the vulgarity of compulsive competitiveness
can refine our mood by voluntarily putting aside the eyes of a predator,
allowing a fresh perspective to emerge . . innovations of insight
insights that are habitually excluded from our attention
One of the objectives of the Toltec strategy of refining awareness ;
is to suspend the eyes of a predator.
The hunted have eyes on the sides, like rabbits and sheep. For humans, the eyes dominate our sensory input.
Human eyes are set squarely on the front of the head
because our foraging is of the hunter, an inbuilt attitude like an owl and a cat.
The eyes of a predator have a mood that is only sometimes useful.
But the unTrained mind uses the predator’s eyes for everyThing,
including interpersonal behaviour.
So the mood of the eyes shapes the default attitude of mankind.
We who dissent from the vulgarity of compulsive competitiveness
can refine our mood by voluntarily putting aside the eyes of a predator,
allowing a fresh perspective to emerge . . innovations of insight
insights that are habitually excluded from our attention
by the perceptual filter of predatory attitude.
