Vision and Intuition

Vision and Intuition are strictly related because the message of any vision is symbolic, then we rely on intuition to understand it.
We normally take it under the light of the rational, discriminating mind to develop a sense out of it, but then what we do is to consider what the intuition proposed and suggested.
There must be people which rely totally on intuition because they trust it, and that is a knowledge which remain unspoken and untold by the subject, but not lost in any way.
It is there, occult.
It is a being, a silent observing being.
A growing being and a growing personality, it is our access to -impersonality-.
Or else soul-personality, and Self-personality, as if that were achieved, it would be a faithful representation of the words which Sri A. said:- ..."the secret Self within us is an intuitive self and this intuitive self is seated in every centre of our being, the physical, the nervous, the emotional, the volitional, the conceptual or cognitive and the higher more directly spiritual centres".
(Sri A.: The Yoga of Self-Perfection, cap.XX, The Intuitive mind)

The reason why we talk about the faculty of the Vision is because it will increase its function while humanity get closer to a more intuitive perception of the reality.

The intuitive function of learning will spread over the planet while the development of the consciousness proceeds further in time, it will substitute this present model of perception of the reality through mind and senses alone.
A soul-sense will increase its presence among humans, and the vision will became one of the way of learning.

While Consciousness as a whole progress and evolve on earth, the actual mind of men is becoming more susceptible to the action of that inner Self, resulting elevated towards more intuitive levels of understanding of which the vision is an integral part.
It will be more frequent and extended to receive inner instruction from beings from the subtle world, an intercourse of humans with that level and beings will be a frequent and logical issue due to that growth, and it implies certain relation with the subtle reality, which makes of it an issues not very know, and open to a number of misinterpretations.

The first one could be thinking that it has a relation with the subconscious and the dream-activity, which is absolutely unrelated.
The perception of the subtle reality (both inner,outer) happens with the whole wake-consciousness, and it is an absolutely conscious process from which the subconsciousness  is totally excluded.

Another frecuent mistake is to consider the subtle reality some kind of exotic and misterious reality somewhere far from us.
Then the fact is that we are litterally immersed within it, and this material existence could not be even imaginable without its subtler counterpart.
I purposefully avoid to talk about -astral- as it is a term with heavy occultist contents and overcharged by superstitions, but in a vision of ensamble a "depurated astral" would be a corresponding concept, with the difference that "astral" is mostly referred to factual "places" and never takes in consideration -astral- corresponding to -mental-  world.

To perceive subtle reality is necessary subtle senses, but that is a process so far from human achievement, in the sense that the mind has not that power, it is the soul, in its progressive manifestation which provides the vehicle of more malleable instruments of perception, to which Intuition and Vision are integral part.
