MUCH DIFFERENT THAN SEEING WITH PHYSICAL EYES

 
When one speaks of a subtle or mental conscious pilgrim seeing things and beings in the gross world, one should remember that subtle seeing or mental seeing from the plane of consciousness is much different than seeing with physical eyes. Physical eyes see the surface of things on a curve, whereas involving consciousness sees into or inside the person or object, and once inside reads the person.

Although the subtle or mental plane human being is no longer linked to the gross world he is able to see gross forms, though they all appear to him as shadows. The subtle conscious man sees gross forms as energies, because he is energy itself (Pran) and everything is nothing but energy to him.

The mental conscious man on the fifth plane also sees gross forms, but as thoughts, reflections of his thought, because the fifth plane man is thought itself and everything is nothing but a thought to him.

The sixth plane mental conscious man sees gross forms as reflections of his feelings because he is feeling itself, and everything is nothing but feelings to him.

The subtle and mental conscious human beings are unattached to anything gross (unimpressed) and thus are unaffected by events in the world.
