From the Microscope to the Universe > Bonds Gallery

I've lived my life through a microscope.
I've only seen the world from my own perspective, from my own standards.

Why is that person like that?

I just couldn't understand it.

I thought my perspective was the standard by which I judged the world.

That's why I've been hurt so much.

However, we all see the world through our own glasses.
Some people like red, some like blue, some like green...

Because everyone wears different colored glasses,

we can't agree on what color each other see.

Or we insist that the color of our glasses is everything and right.

But how can that be?

Everyone lives their lives in their own unique way.

Someone who did something bad to me, someone who upset me.
When I look at someone else, I first think of the things they've done wrong to me.
But there must be something good about that person on the other side.

I can't judge others through my own eyes.

Similarly, others can't judge me either.

There are people like this, and there are people like that.
I realized I was trapped in a microscopic sphere of extremely narrow vision.

I lived as if the world were limited to a field of vision as narrow as the pupil of my eye.
But then I lifted my eyes and looked through the microscope at the surrounding landscape.

How vast is this field of vision?

A microscopic field of vision, less than a centimeter wide, is a mere speck of dust in the landscape before me.
The world is endless.

If my life, life on Earth, life in the solar system, and life in our galaxy, are microscopic,
then how vast must the other landscapes be?

At some point, the person in the landscape seemed to be within a 3-4 meter circular sphere.
I, too, felt surrounded by such a sphere.

A multicolored aura emanated endlessly from the sphere.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet—the bright colors of the rainbow emanated endlessly as light.
But each person's light is different.
The unique patterns of light are different for each person.

Angry, hostile feelings are first seen as red.

But if you look away from red, everyone radiates a variety of colors.

That's it. We aren't always angry, like I am.

Calm, elated, alienated, happy, angry, fulfilled, insufficient...

The light radiating from the sphere radiates a variety of emotions.

We cannot judge each other.

We each possess our own unique wavelength of color.

We are surrounded by waves of constantly shining light.

This is who we are.
