Abstract
¿Qué ver?, ¿cómo ver?, ¿qué es visible?, ¿qué es invisible?, ¿qué permitir ver?, ¿qué prohibir ver? Todas estas cuestiones se relacionan con la elección de ver. La realidad visual representa un tema trascendental en cualquier época, civilización o régimen político. La visión o la vista parece un sentido perspicaz y sensible, pero no medita proactivamente sobre las cosas; además, la vista implica, a menudo, tabúes y malentendidos. En este sentido, en un plano esotérico, la ceguera o la invidencia se convierten en nuestra otra forma de “ver”. Ello se debe a que la invidencia nos ayuda a interceptar la información y los datos sutiles ocultos tras el mundo visible. Más importante aún, la ceguera en sí es un mecanismo dinámico y creativo, como el revés dela vista, que puede estimularnos también a comunicar en un nivel más profundo tanto con nosotros mismos como con el mundo...
