Believing Is Seeing




“Believing is seeing.” When you completely dedicate yourself to an idea – or even just entertain the thought of that idea to be the truest of true, a guaranteed existence in reality – you are able to develop a vision in your mind of that idea as if it actually stood before you. And maybe for the sake of your mental health and for the sake of understanding what reality is, this is good solely for artistic reasons, but nonetheless, it’s a pretty fantastic aspect of our being: imagination. What makes “believing is seeing” such a beautiful thing is that it gives you all the power, and as humans, that’s something we crave for. You have the power to believe or not to believe, which is in a bigger context the power over existence. You have the power over detail. And ultimately, you have the power to project. For many, “seeing is believing”. And that’s fabulous and all. But the ability to believe and from that see is what gives us Picassos and Superman and Hogwarts.
