Visual sanctuary..

Our eyes are gates that open directly into our souls..



Largely, what we see we believe.. Mysteriously, what we believe determines what we become.

This is a good thing.  It's why heaven is most accurately described as the beatific vision.. There we will behold God directly, and thus be filled and united with him. But here it makes us vulnerable to a kind of drowning or even poisoning through visual lies.

Junk mail. Billboards. Bumper stickers. Blinking web ads. Catalogs. Commercials. Spam. Pop-ups. Soft porn. Sit'-coms. Stupid movies. Shallow movies. Dark movies. Disturbing movies. Demented movies.

Enough.
