We are easily fooled by what we see not because we are fools but because our eyes only tell us part of the picture.  Most humans rely heavily on their sense of sight which makes sense.  There is a reason why in ancient times blindness was considered to be a curse.  There is a reason when we are alarmed at a change in our ability to see either temporarily or as an effect of harm to our eyes. Maybe it comes from the inherent if not direct knowledge discovered by neuroscience that our eyeballs are actual physical pieces of our brain outside our skull.  God encourages us to take things a step further.  What our eyes give us is an offering of information.  What we do in our minds translates what we are actually seeing and gives it meaning.  When we learn to take responsibility for the meaning we create we can appreciate and value the offering that our eyes or any part of our sensory system gives us.  In our willingness and courage to own what we do with the various kinds of offerings our senses pick upon, we see the gift we are being given all the time.  Our perspective on how our lives are orchestrating themselves is placed back within our personal sovereignty is not the fault or caused by the outside stimulation with our senses pick up on.
