paraphrase

• blind spot by vacancy
  • ie. black area in visual field.
  • contrast with the rest of the visual field
  • easy to see

• pure blind spot
  • I did not understand

• aware spot
  • Douglas Harding ( Man without a head) exercise
  • Wittgenstein also commented on this
    • Nothing in your visual field leads you to infer that it is seen by an eye
    • BEing journey
      • point finger to objects in your visual field
      • then point to yourself
      • what do you see? There's no object there
      • it is empty but is the source of awareness
  • Nishada Kitaro
    • As soon as you adopt the stance of objective knowledge, the knower doesn't enter the visual field
