Seeing The Invisible

How often is there something right before your eyes that you never notice?

• A tragically flawed process
• A new solution to an old problem
• Someone else's needs
• Your gifts
• A sign

As a literal example, see take a good look at this square and note what you see:

Did you notice anything?  Take another look.  There's something there that you probably never noticed... something about yourself that you probably never noticed!

Give up?

You should see a very faint yellow and blue 'cloud' in the center of your field of view.  This is known as "Haidinger's brush", and it's your eye's response to polarized light.  Yes, you can 'see' the polarization of light!

Didn't see it?  Take a look again but this time follow these instructions:

• If viewing by laptop/desktop computer, tilt your head side to side like you are touching your ear to your shoulder on each side.  Do it like you're trying to shake water out of each ear after a swim.
• If viewing by mobile device, make the white rectangle large and then turn your screen left and right like a steering wheel.  Go ahead and turn that thing like you mean it!!!

Go ahead.  I'll wait.

Like looking in the back of the book for an answer to a homework problem, once you see it then it becomes obvious.

Many things can block us from seeing the invisible:

• Fear (being wrong, being taken advantage of, looking silly)
• Preconceived notions (there is nothing to see)
• Lack of effort
• Lack of faith

What are you missing in life that is right before your eyes?
