This is the latest issue of “Holistic Vision”, the spiritual project by the author and consciousness researcher Floco Tausin. It is devoted to a phenomenon known as idiopathic or harmless “eye floaters” or “muscae volitantes” (see pictures) among ophthalmologists. We see them as scattered, mobile, transparent dots and strings in our visual field. “Holistic Vision” includes ophthalmology but questions its conclusion on floaters and goes beyond. For the observation and open eye meditation reveals a connection between altered states of consciousness and the way floaters look. Furthermore, a look at different cultures highlights floaters as an object of art and spirituality. By this “holistic vision”, Floco Tausin pursues the question whether these spheres and strings are first appearances of a shining structure of consciousness within which we cover a distance to our spiritual origin – a path that lights up through open eye meditation.

„Since as far back as I can remember I have always been able to see floaters but never thought much of them beyond that of a medical phenomenon. I didn’t even believe in any of the New Age ideas, so I wasn’t about to make a correlation between the two. However when I graduated high school I found myself in a difficult place in my life, I had always studied and gotten good grades and was certain I wanted to go to college, however after getting into a prestigious art school I found even with some generous scholarships, there was no way I could afford to attend that school. So with no other choice in sight other than perhaps a community college and working as a bus boy, which certainly was not the way I thought my life would be, I took all my savings and flew to Mexico were I could use my money to live on my own and see more of the world. Only about a month into my trip I stumbled upon the most fascinating thing I have ever witnessed; Shaman magik. It absolutely has changed my life, I always thought those things were untrue but the degree of power and magik in those ceremony is undeniable. Anyways I have now been in Mexico about a year and continue to attend ceremonies, but recently something that has caught my eye (no pun intended) are the floaters... You see after every powerful ceremony I get more floaters, and more complex patterns or the existing patterns get more complex, like they are evolving. I even attended another type of ceremony, a Druid New Moon ceremony and again they got bigger. Now I’m even noticing that they change based on my mood and my thoughts. I was no longer satisfied with the medical explanation and soon found your site.“

»Sensations have a relaxing effect and bring about calmness,« the thinker said. »I can stay seated and regularly release my energy as ecstasy into the world. On the other hand, if you are not a seer and your body is ›shut off‹, then you’ll always have to fight in order to release your energy. Then you have to run around, climb up and down mountains or do the ›doctor thing‹ – or do it altogether. You have to toil and sweat, you must be glad and upset. And you’re making love with it. But those are all petty little kicks. Give your power away like that, and you’ll always stay restless and agitated, never completely satisfied. Simply because you pin down your power to certain intentions, feelings, people and objects that will bleach out and become old and gray. And you yourself will also bleach out in the process, become old and gray and die – without having found out what it means to make the web of consciousness light up with your energy, and to get along better with everything«
