17 - Farsightedness
The Wisdom of Seeing Clearly
We live in a world built on perspectives. From the moment we are born, we are shaped by ideas—about ourselves, about others, about life. But not all perspectives are truth. What we believe to be real is often just a reflection of conditioning, not clarity.
The 17th Key is about breaking free from rigid thinking and learning to see with fresh eyes. Imagine looking at the night sky, tracing the constellations. The stars themselves are not connected, yet the mind draws patterns, making sense of what it sees. But what if there is a greater truth beyond what the mind perceives?
This key teaches us that wisdom is not about having the right answers—it’s about seeing beyond fixed ideas into a deeper reality.
The Shadow – Opinion
At its lowest frequency, this energy manifests as rigid thinking—the need to be right, the attachment to beliefs, the inability to see beyond one perspective.
Opinion can appear as:
Judgment—seeing the world through fixed labels rather than fluid understanding.
Mental arrogance—believing one’s way of thinking is superior to others.
Defensiveness—rejecting new perspectives because they threaten old ones.
In this state, the mind becomes a closed system, repeating the same patterns, unable to evolve.
The Gift – Farsightedness
Something shifts when we stop clinging to opinions and start expanding our perception.
This is the gift of farsightedness—the ability to see beyond personal viewpoints, to embrace different perspectives, and to understand the deeper patterns at play.
Imagine standing on a mountaintop, looking over the landscape below. From this height, everything makes sense—the winding rivers, the roads, the connections that were hidden when viewed from the ground. That is the power of the 17th Key—to step back, to see with clarity, and to recognize the larger picture unfolding.
The Siddhi – Omniscience
And then, something even deeper happens. When we stop identifying with the mind, we no longer just see truth—we become it.
This is omniscience—not as intellectual knowledge, but as pure awareness. It is the knowing that truth is not something to hold onto—it is something that flows, ever-expanding, ever-unfolding.
The 17th Key reminds us that real vision is not about being right—it is about being open. The clearer we see, the more we realize that everything is connected, and wisdom is already within us.
It asks:
Are you attached to your opinions, or are you open to seeing differently?
What perspectives are you resisting, and why?
How can you expand your vision to see the bigger picture?
See beyond belief. Open your mind. Let wisdom reveal itself.
