How Seers and Ordinary People See Life, Love, and the Divine

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered why some people seem untouched by prejudice or consumed by bitterness, while others get lost in cycles of judgment, revenge, or the pursuit of fleeting pleasures? What separates a “seer”—someone who intuitively grasps higher truths and cultivates unconditional compassion—from those of us who can sometimes struggle with resentment, desires, and the search for meaning? At the root of these differences lies not just perspective, but a profoundly different way of relating to life, love, and the divine.

In this article, let’s take a closer look at the contrasts between seers and ordinary people. By exploring how the wise reverence life and embrace each moment, and how the rest of us can fall prey to opposition or disconnection, we can uncover profound insights that inspire us to grow towards fairness, purpose, and genuine connection with the sacred within and all around us.

Understanding the Difference: Beyond the Ordinary Perspective

Before we dive into these insights, let’s clarify what we mean by “seer” and “ordinary person.” A seer, in this context, isn’t a mystical prophet or someone with supernatural powers. Instead, it is anyone who strives to look beyond surface-level realities—who sees dignity in all people, chooses purpose over fleeting pleasure, and seeks connection with the divine (in whatever form you understand it). In contrast, ordinary people—meaning most of us at one point or another—are caught by habits, unconscious reactions, or desires that distract us from the more profound truth.

Let’s unpack some of these key differences and see what they can teach us.

1. The Illusion of Prejudice vs. The Wisdom of Equanimity

Prejudice is often a fleeting reaction—an emotional “blush” that colors our perception for only a moment, but can lead to deeply ingrained attitudes and behaviors. For the ordinary person, prejudice can become a filter that shapes how they perceive and interact with the world. It causes division, mistrust, and the need to blame or judge others.

Seers, by contrast, do not curse love or humankind in their pursuit of the Divine. They recognize that all people, regardless of their differences, contain some spark of the sacred. They don’t demand that others conform to spiritual ideals, nor do they believe the Divine requires us to reject any part of ourselves or our humanity. Instead, they lead with loving acceptance—seeing unity, not separation, as the gateway to transcendent truth.

Practical Takeaway: When you feel prejudice arise, see it for the temporary “blush” it is. Question its validity, and strive to know the dignity of others, remembering that every person is worthy of love and respect.

2. Seeking Purpose Over Nightmare: What We Choose to Accept

It’s easy, especially in tough times, to become cynical or to view life as a series of meaningless challenges—a nightmare without purpose. Some reject the divine altogether, clinging to struggle and suffering as if they were immutable truths.

Seers set a different example. They never impose curses or judgment to achieve spiritual acceptance. Instead, they choose to plant seeds of possibility—ideas, creative actions, and compassion. They trust that the “gods,” or higher principles, will restore Providence (a sense of benevolent guidance) in their due time.

Ordinary people sometimes curse the idea of Providence because their dreams or expectations haven’t materialized as planned. They may look for signs of the divine only when their needs press hard, missing the subtle but steady presence of grace in everyday life.

Practical Takeaway: When faced with despair or confusion, choose to see life as purposeful. Ask: “What seed can I plant today?” Trust that meaning often reveals itself over time, and that Providence can be restored through our openness and action.

3. Character and Cowardice: Sowing Seeds vs. Seeking Revenge

Seers are gardeners of character: they sow integrity, kindness, and humility wherever they go. Their contributions may not always be visible or celebrated, but they recognize that actual growth often occurs quietly, beneath the surface.

In contrast, those trapped in cycles of vengeance might lash out to mask their pain or insecurity. Seeking revenge becomes a way to assert control—an attempt to overcome the powerlessness that fear or hurt instills. But vengeance is never a sign of strength; it is a display of hidden cowardice—a way to avoid the more complex work of healing or understanding.

Practical Takeaway: When wronged, resist the temptation to retaliate. Focus instead on how you can grow from the experience, sowing seeds of stronger character. Over time, integrity yields rewards that revenge never can.

4. Equality and Non-Discrimination: True Insight vs. Oppression

Seers embrace equality, refusing to discriminate or judge based on gender, background, or belief. They recognize that both men and women (and everyone beyond that binary) are sacred expressions of life, deserving equal love and opportunity.

Ordinary people, for a multitude of reasons, can fall into the trap of seeking dominance or succumbing to it. Gender-based oppression or ideals of dominance are mistaken as divine mandates or natural orders, when in fact they are human distortions.

Practical Takeaway: Ask yourself: “Am I seeing others as equals? Am I holding onto beliefs or actions that seek to diminish, control, or oppress?” Challenge these patterns and commit to equity in your daily interactions.

5. Choices and Consequences: Pleasure vs. Purpose

Life, ultimately, is a reflection of our choices. For many, the outcome of those choices is measured by pleasure or gratification. Happiness becomes synonymous with getting what we want in the moment.

Seers, on the other hand, know that real fulfillment is found in purposeful living. They seek meaning, contribution, and spiritual connection over mere pleasure. They view choices as the raw material from which character and legacy are built.

Practical Takeaway: Reflect on the motivations behind your choices. Are you seeking only temporary pleasure, or are you building a life of deeper purpose and satisfaction?

6. Seeing the Divine in Ourselves and Others

A profound difference exists in how seers and ordinary people perceive the “divine.” Heaven (or the higher self) is said to see character through human eyes, appreciating our virtues and efforts. Ordinary people, however, look outward for signs of divinity—judging themselves and others by external appearance, status, or conventional “holiness.”

Seers remind us that the divine is best found in the embodiment of character, compassion, and humility—in the way we live, not just what we profess.

 Practical Takeaway: Instead of seeking proofs of divinity outside yourself, look inwards. Ask: “How can I reflect the qualities I admire—kindness, patience, courage—today?” In choosing to embody these qualities, you become a living testament to the sacred.

Choosing the Path of the Seer

In a world full of division, cynicism, and fleeting pleasures, the example of the seer offers us a beacon of hope. You don’t need mystical powers to live with wisdom, compassion, and a deep connection to the divine. By recognizing the fleeting nature of prejudice, seeking purpose in every challenge, sowing seeds of character, treating all people as equals, and making choices that prioritize meaning over mere pleasure, you transform your own life—and can inspire those around you.

Heaven, it is said, recognizes our character through human eyes. Why not turn your own eyes—your actions, perceptions, and choices—toward seeing the divine in yourself and in all whom you meet?
