We see the it but not the is. There are two forms of vision, foveal and peripheral. Foveal vision is the "it" we see when our eyes focus and create detailed images we describe as various discrete things. However, the "it" we think we see is but an illusion; as all things are everchanging, interconnected and interdependent. (That is, reality is one unified thing, the everything in the now.) As such, the illusionary "it" created by foveal vision is the antithesis of reality, as a discrete "it" per se implies duality (the "it" and not the "it"). Peripheral vision is unfocused. As such, what we see with peripheral vision is indescribable, the everything in the now. The function of peripheral vision is to arouse our attention to look for the presumed discrete "it" when peripheral vision senses changes in the relative motion of a presumed "it." That is, peripheral vision is about the "is," not the "it." We can sense the “is,” but cannot see (to the extent we can describe) the “is” While peripheral vision is 98 - 99% of our visual field, we rarely notice it as our attention is captured by the various temporary "it" things in foveal vision. Though illusionary, the "it" things we think we see and how we interpret them is our personal reality. With a countless number of people on Earth, there are countless personal realities; though only one true reality, the "is."...

How do you square a circle? You don't. With only a compass and a straightedge (the tools of classical geometry), it's impossible to square a circle (to construct a square with the same area as a given circle) due to the transcendental mathematical constant π (pi). That is, the circumference of a circle (the space inside) is the the product of multiplying the diameter of the circle times pi. As pi is a transcendental number (an infinite, non-repeating decimal expansion), the space inside a circle is imprecise. The space inside a square is precise. Thus, as an imprecise space cannot precisely fill a precise space, one can ever square a circle. Transcendental numbers arise naturally in exponential growth and decay processes and are used extensively in calculus, probability, and mathematical analysis. Transcendental (meaning, spiritual) numbers also reveal the nature of the nonphysical/non-now nature of he universe; it is infinite (eternal) and everchanging, however unnoticeably. Like trying to square a circle, the mind cannot precisely grasp or contain the entire universe. The mind, like a square, views things with words and thoughts that describe a universe as linear, logical and finite. Yet, the universe, like a circle, is transcendental; infinite and everchanging. While our eyes tell us that the space inside a circle must be a precise measure; in reality, the precise space will never be known precisely....
