This is a beautiful analogy between physical sight and spiritual. In Jungian terms, the deep and hidden issues are the shadow -- not to say they are bad, only hidden. They are scary at first because they are in direct opposition to our carefully constructed persona -- the way we want to be perceived in the world; the "Marketing Version" of ourselves. But for full acceptance of who we are, our shadow traits must be illuminated and integrated.
AMEN! I had cataracts in both eyes. In one eye I eventually had a corneal transplant. I don't see better in that eye but at least it isn't blind anymore. Problem is that after a few hours of looking at things, my eyes start to itch and burn. There are always sandy things in them. Ditto with reality--I can't watch the news very long because the constant stream of damage that our country is going through is sickening. I told my husband that it was a good thing we were old because who knows when the end will be.

TY...well said.
Sorry to hear about your eyes Adam, but I hope the procedures work as intended. A great read either way!
TY! :)
