Nearly thirty years ago, while an undergraduate at Georgia State University, I had the privilege of serving as host and driver for Dick Gregory during his visit to campus.
Recently, I rediscovered one of his most enduring metaphors—"The Magic Glasses."
The more I reflected upon it, the more I realized it beautifully captures something I have been exploring while writing The Seven Layers of Manifestation.
Perhaps our greatest transformation is not learning to see new things but in our becoming able to distinguish reality from the distortions that once seemed natural.
In this week's essay, I reflect on Gregory's metaphor, the nature of orientation, and why I have come to see the Seven Layers not as a philosophy of acquisition, but as a philosophy of clarification.
I hope you enjoy the read.
