Mind's Eye

The phrase "mind's eye" refers to the human ability for visualization, i.e., for the experiencing of visual mental imagery; in other words, one's ability to "see" things with the mind.

The biological foundation of the mind's eye is not fully understood. fMRI studies have shown that the lateral geniculate nucleus and the V1 area of the visual cortex are activated during mental imagery tasks.Ratey writes:

The visual pathway is not a one-way street. Higher areas of the brain can also send visual input back to neurons in lower areas of the visual cortex... As humans, we have the ability to see with the mind's eye - to have a perceptual experience in the absence of visual input. For example, PET scans have shown that when subjects, seated in a room, imagine they are at their front door starting to walk either to the left or right, activation begins in the visual association cortex, the parietal cortex, and the prefrontal cortex - all higher cognitive processing centers of the brain.

Mind's Eye

You know what I'm going through
I know this is true
Cause You stood in my shoes
Desires inside of me
It's hard to believe
In what you cannot have seen
Can you catch the wind?
See a breeze?
It's presence which you feel by the leaves of a tree
An image of my faith in the old TV
[Chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see Your face
You smile as You show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
Foreign lands of life
In my mind's eye (x4)
In my mind I'm where I belong
As I rest in Your arms
And like a child I hold onto You
In my moment of truth
I hold onto you
Yes I do
We can ride the storm
Into the pain
You comfort me in my hurricane
And I will never be alone again
[Chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see Your face
You smile as You show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
The foreign lands of life
In my mind's eye (x4)
In my mind I can see Your face
Love poured down in a shower of grace
Life is a gift that You chose to give
I believe we eternally live
They don't know You like I do
You're the one I live to pursue
[Can you see God? Have you ever seen Him?
I've never seen the Wind
I've seen the effects of the Wind, but never the Wind
There's a mystery to it!]
[Chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see Your face
You smile as You show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
The foreign lands of life
