Seeing

It is impossible to see anything in the real realm unless you become it.
Not so in the world. You see the sun without being the sun,
see the sky and earth but are not them.
This is the truth of the world.
In the other truth, you are what you see.
If you see spirit, you are spirit.
If you look at the anointed, you are the anointed.
If you see the father, you will be the father.
In this world you see everything but yourself,
but there, you look at yourself and are what you see.

-from the Gnostic Bible
