This altarpiece refers to a meditative tradition associated with Zen
and many martial arts. It is our own inner mental observer process
that can see what is going on in our minds if we allow it to disengage
from our own identity, and just be.
This is the eye we bring to bear in the scrutiny of reason. It is the
eye that can envision new creative possibilities. It is not the "I" but
only a part of the complexity that makes up a human mind and body.
Here, an Aikidoist performs breathing meditation, letting go from
identifying with every thought that passes through the mind. Still
being there, one can then relax, focus on the immediate, and begin
to release to a broader perspective.
