The Blind Seer and the Wine Dark Sea

This chapter discusses the concept of the blind seer in Greek tradition and explores the idea that the blind seer sees more with their eyes closed than open.

The chapter further delves into Homer's references to the 'wine dark sea' and suggests that his experiences of this sea would be internal, representing the frothing expanse of consciousness.
