Your Eyes are Open but you don't look around, because you see Everything! - a San Bushmen healer quote and how Westerners do not understand it. Morna Finnegan

 This Western anthrolopologist WANTS to understand the San Bushmen culture of healing - video talk by

Morna Finnegan

She gives the above quote without realizing its profound meaning.

"you don't look around because you see EVERYTHING!"

Clearly the anthropologists are projecting their own ignorance onto the San Bushmen as some kind of paternalistic view of the San Bushmen ignorance and CLEARLY the Western anthropologists have absolutely no idea what they are talking about when they quote the San Bushmen healer.

When the San Bushmen healer says they do not look around because they see everything - what do you think they mean? Clearly the anthropologist can not even BEGIN to realize the true meaning! And guess what? The "radical anthropology" channel has now shut down ALL comments - because they're afraid of finding out anything they don't want to find out about. haha. How radical is that?

This is the true meaning:

My body became immovably rooted; breath was drawn out of my lungs as if by some huge magnet. Soul and mind instantly lost their physical bondage, and streamed out like a fluid piercing light from my every pore. The flesh was as though dead, yet in my intense awareness I knew that never before had I been fully alive. My sense of identity was no longer narrowly confined to a body, but embraced the circumambient atoms. People on distant streets seemed to be moving gently over my own remote periphery. The roots of plants and trees appeared through a dim transparency of the soil; I discerned the inward flow of their sap.

The whole vicinity lay bare before me. My ordinary frontal vision was now changed to a vast spherical sight, simultaneously all-perceptive. Through the back of my head I saw men strolling far down Rai Ghat Road, and noticed also a white cow who was leisurely approaching. When she reached the space in front of the open ashram gate, I observed her with my two physical eyes. As she passed by, behind the brick wall, I saw her clearly still.

All objects within my panoramic gaze trembled and vibrated like quick motion pictures. My body, Master’s, the pillared courtyard, the furniture and floor, the trees and sunshine, occasionally became violently agitated, until all melted into a luminescent sea; even as sugar crystals, thrown into a glass of water, dissolve after being shaken. The unifying light alternated with materializations of form, the metamorphoses revealing the law of cause and effect in creation.”
