I really like the word “Seer.” Most commonly, a Seer is defined as somebody (often described as a “prophet”) “to whom divine revelations are made.” In other words, they see what others cannot. World-changing visionaries throughout history have been referred to as “Seers” whenever they predicted the future with a degree of better-than-average accuracy.
But what really enables them to have that capacity? Are some people born more capable of being a Seer than others? Are some of us destined to remain in the dark while others like Edgar Cayce spout off divine revelations in their sleep?
While I can’t answer any of those questions (sorry to lead you on!), what I can say is that I find another definition of “Seer” to be quite interesting:
It’s root is “See.” A “Seer” is anybody who “sees.”
In a literal definition, that’s about eyes. Yet I don’t think anybody would doubt that Helen Keller could “see.” Some might argue she saw better than those people who had eyes. She had to.
Without eyes, her other senses were forced to become much more highly attuned. Her brain had to function in a fundamentally different way so that she could survive, and ultimately thrive, in the world. She had to learn to “See” the world in ways that most of us never will.
So then what really is a Seer and how do you become one?
I like to think of it in the context of our everyday lives. Are we taking a moment to pause and actually SEE what and who is with us? With so many ideas, historical conditioning, and preconcieved notions about reality, we can get lost in the metaphorical dark. We can operate from an automatic conditioned place rather than living in the present moment.
When that happens, we no longer “see” anything. We merely function as a kind of programmed robot. We shift away from human “beings” and operate as human “doings.”
However, when we pause for a moment, when we look around, when we ask “What is this all about?” and when we inquire within “Who am I taking myself to be in this moment?” then we start to SEE again. We literally become “Seers.”
The more that we can do that, the more we transform our lives and consequently the lives of those around us. I find that particularly interesting because it talks to the questions earlier that I have left unanswered.
What if by seeing ourselves and the world more clearly, we inadvertently rengmove the blockages that prevent us from more effectively predicting the future? From predicting our own actions? From predicti the actions of others? Or even opening up to what many people call “intuition,” “hunches,” and “gut feelings?”
The implications of “seeing” are both huge and scary. Scary because we have to realize and accept that for most of our lives, we have not engaged with the world present, aware, and consciously. Scary because we have to admit how far we have strayed from our True Nature and all the power that lies within us.
And it’s huge. It iopens the doorway to change all that and more. Choosing to “See” enables us to live presently, aware, and consciously. It enables us to tap into some incredible power that has laid dormant inside ourselves… just waiting to be harnessed.
Don’t take my word for it. Never take my word for it. Here’s how to try it out yourself:
At some random time today, pause and ask yourself, “What am I seeing right now?”
At another random time today –a time when you’re with somebody else–pause and ask yourself, “Who am I taking myself to be in this moment?”
See what you notice…
