Most humans have difficulty seeing the subtle self. I felt that disability when walking around one day. I was dressed casually, in a t-shirt and jeans. Not something a rich kid would be wearing. I carried my pack as was usual, along with a sling bag. In my pack was a rather expensive laptop and a tripod, with a professional camera in the sling bag. To the untrained eye, I was just another passer by. To my wallet, I was lugging thousands of dollars of equipment. Were I to turn up at a posh restaurant, I would probably have looked out of place and rather shabby.
It is the same with the subtle self, that cannot be seen with physical eyes. It takes a certain amount of empathy and awareness to be able to spot what lies below the veneer of human likeness. How strange, then, that many are content to stare ceaselessly at that veneer, and deem it to be all there is to a person.
