What are the qualities of true vision?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 07, 2009:
True vision for me is where a clarity of mind and body comes through. There is a certain freedom to become aware of what becomes the truth of our complex situations. There is a personal and a universal aspect to the incorporation of the sense of things.
Lately, I have been exploring the ubiquitous reality of the Truth, Transparency, and Will in relation to the spirit of the Father. Gaining more knowledge about these facets are poignant to my generation at this time. Being a Gen Xer in my mid-thirties I have many high school friends who are becoming fathers. Personally, I have not rooted myself enough in many area of my life to feel ready to take on the responsibility of children. And Tiger Woods, he is like the grand champ of my generation, but he is facing the difficult reality of his lack of true vision as real father. Its interesting because he had a father that was so there for him. His dad proved the support for him and I am beginning to understand the science behind solidifying that nurturing quality.
For me the truth of the understanding has been gained by looking into the relationship with my own dad. There seemed to be something missing from the support he was providing. In the somatic field of experience the support comes through as a belly quality and a willingness to stay with the struggle no matter what. Showing up and being real while being smooth and caring. It comes in from the deep part of the lungs with a free moving diaphragm providing the grace to be in integrity with the challenges. Much easier said than done.
We tend to get in trouble when the mind contracts and the limbic system takes over in emotional reaction. The vision and the senses can become distorted and fog our thought processes. The emotions can get so strong that they may drive us to cheat on our loved ones, get angry, become jealous, or shut down. With kindness the heart can welcome in the pain but we have to be willing to stay with these experiences. It can really be helpful to be with someone who can provide that support if working through difficult emotions.
As things clear up in my schema I find that the solidification of support becomes the nourishment for the intelligence and the true science of the alchemy of existence. It can become a part of the curiosity and exploration. And all the positive and negative dynamics can seem so brilliant...
