Pearl’s of Wisdom What you see with the eye is called observation; what you see with the mind is called insight. This is the significance of meditation, or seeing through your own thoughts. The mind is like the moon on the water; form is like the reflection in a mirror. Yagyu Munenori, The Life Giving Sword
