We see many “its” but not the is; though all there is is is.

 

There are two types of vision, foveal and peripheral.

Foveal vision is when our eyes focus and we mentally create static images of seemingly independent things (“its”). As “its’ are our creations, the “its” are illusions.

Peripheral vision is unfocused. What it reveals is vague, continuous and dynamic; indescribable beyond that it is what it is whatever it is. It is the visible universe unaffected by our mind.

Peripheral vision is approximately 99% of our field of vision.

The “its” are illusions. The is is the Everything, being and becoming.
