The Blind Seer

The Blind Seer: Seeing in the Dark is an eye-opening look at the spiritual war for one's soul.God warned Cain that sin desired to have him. Likewise, Jesus told Peter that satan desired to have him, to sift him as wheat. However, the emphasis is on satan's desire... The Blind Seer shows how it feels when the devil desperately desires to have a child of God. John the Baptist saw the signs and infallible proofs and was confident Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. But after the enemy surrounded John with darkness while in prison, John's faith in Jesus turned to doubt. Consequently, even after boldly proclaiming that Jesus was the Lamb of God, a spiritually blinded John sent his disciples to ask Jesus, 'Are You the One who is to come, or shall we look for another?' The Blind Seer shows what it feels like to question God's love because of the darkness and intense pressure.The Blind Seer sheds Light on what happens when Godly dreams and visions go dark, demons replace angels and war disrupts peace. A time is coming when the Lord will allow the enemy to wage war against the saints and overcome them. The Blind Seer is a preview of how things will look and feel during the dark days ahead. Will darkness prevail over the Light?

Paulson examines literary, philosophical, and pedagogical writing on blindness in France from the Enlightenment, when philosophical speculation and surgical cures for cataracts demystified the difference between the blind and the sighted, to the nineteenth century, when the literary figure of the blind bard or seer linked blindness with genius, madness, and narrative art. A major theme of the book is the effect of blindness on the use of language and sign systems: the philosophes were concerned at first with understanding the doctrine of innate ideas, rather than with understanding blindness as such.

The character of the Blind Seer relates to the ancient Greek Tiresias and to the blind masked characters in Japanese Noh drama and Shinto ritual.It is about the ideas of sight/insight, vision/visionary, light/ enlightenment, reality and illusion, prophecy and superstition and about the masks we wear to the world and to ourselves.
