What is the first thing that you see through jabberwocky eyes?


Life seen from the point of view of jabberwocky is remarkably strange.

It does not see the body as something separate from its life, passing through the dimension of time and generating a history, like a plane shaving off a curl of wood.

Instead, the jabberwocky's vision is holistic. It sees the body and life entwined. There is no difference betwixt the two. The jabberwocky claims, "What you see is what you get!" Imagine the image you would get if you took a 70-year (more or less) time lapse photograph of an entire person's life--okay, 'person's entire life'.

See it. It doesn't move. All part of it exist 'at once'. It is timeless. There is no uncertainty about a 'future'.

Life--as seen by a jabberwocky--is not dynamic. It is static.
