Visions: Some Notes

Neural connections between brain and eye number in the hundreds of thousands. They are extremely complex, and can be stimulated by a hundred environmental and internal factors. Since your experience occurred right after a cornea-transplant, your fascinating vision was likely connected to several synergistic biochemical and/or anatomical/physiological changes.

Nevertheless, it did arise from the Unconscious-- or your personal input to It. So, what you saw is felt, intuitively, to have been a "memory" from a past life, triggered by some neurological sensitivities. This kind of vision is very rare, and might never occur again.

Historically, there is a wide divergence between mystics and visionaries, even though the two are often confused in modern scholarship. For example, among the Jewish traditions, the "Merkabah" tradition is often misidentified as "mystical." It was not. It was purely and only a visionary tradition, as its literature demonstrates so clearly.

Mystics tend to enjoy visions when they occur, and to learn everything possible from them. After that, though, they tend to dismiss and ignore visions as being of little spiritual value. Visions are always fascinating, and you are right on target to examine yours, and analyze it most carefully. If your memory were clearer-- if, for example, you could transcribe some of the "hieroglyphoid" writing that you saw, it is
possible that you could learn a great deal. Unfortunately, however, as is so often the case with visions, this one does not seem to offer a great deal of useful data. So, your best bet is to thank the great Spirit for it, move on with your life in pursuit of Love, and then, keep your eyes "wide shut" just in case a vision returns!
