I Am What God Sees in Me

I am what God sees in me--because his eye paints as well as perceives.  We live in the eye of God.  We live in the imaging of God.

Sight is blindness.  Sight is blindness as assuredly as the negative space surrounding and making intelligible an object of interest is so much space of ignorance and unseen potentiality.  We see because we do not see--we see because we choose what information we will extract from our surroundings.  We do not see what surrounds the object we are looking at, and so we cannot claim to comprehend the picture.

That is what bedevils us.  We cannot know all, and so we seek--if knowing a greater part of the all is important to us--to cobble together a mosaic of contiguous images.  It can never be known, however, if our accumulated knowledge forms such a mosaic, or if our predispositions merely reinforce each other--though with slight differences with each picture.  It is as though our repeated attempts to tap together a mosaic of ostensibly greater and greater information might result only in a scenario--for illustration--in which we might attempt to impart more and more information to a coin by striking it repeatedly with the die--only to have its information value degraded by mis-hits and slightly varying impressions.

God is not blind, neither does he see the way we do--either physically or intellectually.  We diminish ourselves with every decision we make about what will receive our attention.  It is not so with God.  God sees things into being.
