ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the sight, the projective sense. The sight is the sense constantly solicited in relation to the world. Different perspectives and variations of light add depth to the multiple layers of meaning. Sight is the most economical of the senses. It extends its reach across the breadth of the world, whereas the other senses require proximity to their objects. The figures that surround us are visually ordered into recognizable schemas based on the focus of our gaze and the attention we accord them. A visual vocabulary structures thought in many European languages. Seeing is believing, as many common expressions remind us: “You have to see it to believe it". By contrast, the gaze is fixed on an event. It implies duration and an effort of understanding. The perception of color is a fact of education grounded in an individual’s personal history. The chapter deals with color vocabularies and experiencing of Darkness and Clairvoyance.
