in a world where
one is taught a rock is only a rock
a diamond
would be viewed as
just a rock among rocks
in a world where
a diamond is looked upon as a precious stone
the diamond sells
as a precious stone
yet, a diamond is a diamond
and a diamond is a rock
so, a diamond is precious
essentially as any rock is essentially precious
some spend many thousands on a small rock
thinking it to be the most superior rock
This, too, has become part of the play of the Magic, that one stone appears precious, one not, and one garners thousands of dollars, while one is ignored as not worth any monetary investment at all. How interesting! this show. We can marvel at the Magic, here.

Stillness of being makes us prone to seeing the magical. We need to live in and from stillness, not stillness as only lack of movement, rather stillness as calm, lucid awareness of what is happening moment-to-moment, seeing below the surface, so to speak ~ so, in-sight. This discernment is more a spontaneous feeling than a thought, a sense that arises of what is the more that is happening, the more the mind cannot grasp. This knowing comes as something given, not gotten. One could speak here of a heart-knowing.
The mind is suited
only to the relative,
the spirit attuned to
the eternal.
So, the saying ... as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

We are not simply a someone looking on this display of Mystery moving, as though we are a subject observing an object. We are looking and the looking, as what we call "I, me, myself" is part of the magical display. See, we cannot abstract ourselves from the whole. The whole is what the whole is at any time, for we each are.
