"The unspeakable visions of the individual " St Jack the myth maker
Now a vision is what you see with the mind's eye; which is to say, a vision is what you see. A seer is a man who can see things that others cannot see. He is Prometheus, a man who goes into the void and brings back something and shows it to you, so that that kind of void is forever illuminated. After he has done that, anybody can look into that void and they can see it because the man brought it back. He illuminates something that anyone could see, but they don't see it. He does it some way. He paints it, he dances it, he writes it down.
