Question

Do you think that some things we see more clearly in the darkness?

Answer 1

Yes.. Spiritual "things" R seen more clearly in the dark, for absence of "material" distraction.The less outer visual input , through eyes, the better spiritual visual concentration. Hearing, especially human voices, is another input that interrupts spiritual focusing .That is why some ppl, s. a. monks, resort to far away hills & mountains.

Answer 2

Is this a metaphor or literally the physical sence of having the lights off!

I will try to answer in both retrospects my opinion!

sometimes in life when we are going through a rough time and we make the wrong decisions that seem right and clear and meant for us but they may or not be what we actually need. Sometimes it takes bad experiences and hardships before we can move along to a different stage of life, we learn, we live, we create, we die.

Ok the physical sence, If you eat more carrots i'm sure it is possible! I personally think that in the dark we see things that may scare you and you brain may create entities or they may even exist in the dark.

But somethings do become much clearer like stars! we cannot see them in daylight.

And we cannot see true darkness in the daylight, so yes we do see somethings more clearly...

And in one more sense, during nighttime we solve most of the problems of the following day before we sleep, our fears, excitement.

It's sometimes the only part of the day/night we can clear our minds and think about things we do not have time to in the light busy waking hours!

hope i've helped.

Answer 3

The only thing we see more clearly in the darkness is the moon and the stars.

However, I discovered early on that darkness can be your friend, and I don't mean this in a sinister way. It's easier to hide in the darkness, and often there is a silence with the darkness that is more than worthwhile to listen to.

Answer 4

No, I do not think so, we might be able to hear noises some Animals that are nocturnal make, but other than that when we want to analyze whatever is in our minds, we meditate alone without interruptions.

Answer 5

philosophically speaking, yes. In the dark our other senses come into play, the ones we usually ignore in favor of just our eyes.

Answer 6

No and I'm glad that I did not . Woo what a mistake that was .

Answer 7

we see and believe in the light of hope

Answer 8

YES BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN WE CLOSE OUR EYES WE SEE BETTER BECAUSE YEAH I HOPE IM MAKING SENSE! AS IN THE WAY WE TREAT PEOPLE AND STUFF..LOL SORRY

DOESNT MAKE SENSE!

Answer 9

glow worms.

Answer 10

figuratively, without much outward visual stimulus most people naturally turn inward and reflect.  It becomes easier to think clearly.  Thats probably why most people close their eyes during meditation.

Answer 11

No. The brighter the light on a subject, the easier it is to comprehend. Try doing extensive math in your head.

Answer 12

Like hearing better in silence.

Answer 13

Things that Glow yes.

Answer 14

some fade light and fire flies.

Answer 15

Have you ever gone to a highly anticipated movie, and the projectionist fails to turn the lights out in the theater?

It's almost impossible to view the film.

You need the darkness to view the film in all its splendor, is it not so?

The world is much like this.

It is filled with glitter and bright lights.

Does this possibly mean that the world is filled with darkness, so we can observe all the glitter?

Maybe - maybe not.

It's all in how you 'see' it.

What do you think?

Answer 16

We are aware of darkness only when we are in darkness.

Answer 17

Ourselves, without the illusions and trivialities of the world pressing in on us.

Answer 18

As you begin embracing the beauty of the darkness... you can actually see higher forms of light. It then becomes easier to express your infinite self in a finite world.

Answer 19

If you are speaking metaphorically, I think we see other people's darkness more apparently when we are in darkness ourselves.

Answer 20

usually our internal things.

Answer 21

Yes -- which is to affirm, yes in that 'some' things we see more clearly in the medium of darkness.  Not always or only is it this way, no, but more often than not, yes.  Evidence is a tricky thing; not always is it perceived.  Often is it hidden, ever clever -- but never subsumed.   Whether apparent to our vision or not, truth is what underlies clarity, what underlies light.  

Truth is the light that's told in the dark.

The dark depends on the light if there is to be an absence of it to serve as the medium to merit the clarity.  Clarity cannot escape this, this truth, this dependency.  And this is the truth that will ever be in this, a world where the two must exist as one if 'either' of these are to exist.

Clarity is not a fanciful thing, not a something of feeling or want; is not, say, any a thing given to democratic principle first of all, wherein somewhat parliament or majority rules in the final.

The dawning is simply that 'some' things 'must' come by darkness first hand.  That's all.  And that is life.

Answer 22

Yes as a matter of fact we do.. not so much as pitch black darkness.. either..Sometimes we have to cover up the light to see the day.. and see .. that really darkness has more meaning that the light.. i think we appreciate it more ..

Answer 23

yes especially when your light sensitive and cant handle bright light.

all so when you are riding a bike, you can see glass on the road better  at night when the lights of the on coming cars illuminates the sparkling glass,so you can avoid it.
