I want to draw your attention to something, it may seem negligible and nobody thinks about it, but it is important to understand. We know that sight is a sense that can deteriorate. Indeed, it is possible to have your eyes open without seeing or without seeing very clearly. What deteriorates is not only the part we know as the eye, but the entire sight, which is a system. Therefore, the quality of sight depends on the proper functioning of the entire system.

In other words, seeing is the result of several synchronized organic activities. Also, depending on our position relative to an object, our sight will be tested. An eagle, for example, has the ability to see prey from a distance of about a kilometer. This is not the case for a human. Otherwise, his vision will be defective. Similarly, psychic vision or the sight of the soul is a sense of the immaterial body. Its system is essentially nourished by what the physical sight is exposed to.

According to the proverb, we can deduce that the old man had already lived or seen what the young man sees or lives today. This allows him to draw conclusions before the young man sees the evidence. It is a sight born from or nourished by experience. The old man’s sight is very powerful because it saves the young man time. I advise you to read “Au bout du silence” by Laurent OWONDO.

The old man’s sight preserves and protects, it gives the best direction, not in the paths of the cornfield, but in the important choices of life. Having the old man’s sight allows you to see opportunities, the right investment, the right spouse, the right collaborator, the best friend. The old man’s sight sees danger behind smiles and indifference, it sees pain behind euphoria. It sees the obvious and the unspoken, but this is only possible to the extent that the old man has nourished his visual system.

If the organic system of the old man’s sight is nourished by quality and abundant information, then he will know in advance the conclusions of each situation. In the Book of Revelation of the Bible, the apostle John is saddened and weeps a lot because no one was found worthy to open the book and break the seals. John explains that no one could open the book or even look at it. While he was in despair, an old man who saw much further than John comforted him by showing him the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David who has triumphed to open the book.

The old man’s sight guided John towards the solution to humanity’s problem. When the apostle John looked again, he not only saw the lion of the tribe of Judah that he had not seen, but much more. He saw in the midst of the throne four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a lamb standing as though it had been slain, with seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. When John began to see like an old man, he did not just see the solution but also the structure set up to implement the solution. When you have the power to see, you can see a great organization behind a small piece of information.

It is the same in the story of the prophet Elisha and his disciple. When the Syrian army was numerous and ready to confront Israel, Elisha’s disciple panicked and became distressed. At that moment, Elisha, who saw beyond the obvious, made his servant’s eyes open. He began to see God’s army near them and more numerous than the Syrian army.

What you see defines how far you can go, just as what you do not see will favor crises of all kinds. This is what happens in the allegory told by Rick Joyner. As the valiant warriors descended from the City of God, they were all glorious and strong. They were so bright that they did not see clearly, because behind them, the army of pride was causing several generals to fall. Some people think they are so smart that they no longer pay attention to those around them, trivializing remarks while they are just humans full of limitations.

One day, I was returning home late, it was 10 PM, and I did not realize it. Holding my phone in my hands and earphones in my ears, I was walking. A young man was walking behind me and another a little ahead of me, on the opposite side of the road. We walked until I began to see like an old man. I saw beyond the fact that they were not close enough to conclude that they were together. First, I observed that both had drinks of the same brand in their hands and seemed to want to finish them quickly.

I also analyzed their attire and the way they moved. Finally, I noted that we were the only three on that road and that they threw their bottles at the same time in an almost synchronized manner. I deduced that they most likely had knives and that I was about to be robbed soon. I thought of a way to escape when they attacked and decided to run away.

My decision was the conclusion of a discussion I had at work with my colleagues, among whom one had just been attacked while trying to defend himself. Unfortunately, he had paid a heavy price, seeing his left hand chopped off. In fact, I had to cross the road to end up behind the two. All my foresight and analyses were correct, but I had drawn conclusions by seeing beyond what my physical eyes saw. This way of seeing spared me the loss of important material.

Sight is crucial both in everyday life and professionally. It prevents bankruptcies, failures, embezzlements, etc. That is why, in accounting, we depreciate fixed capital and make provisions. It is because we anticipate damage during the production chain. Being in contact with such power gives you an advantage over life’s enemies. Doesn’t it say that the prudent man sees the evil from afar?
