I SEE A TREE: Our world inside out
 Consequences of a shift in consciousness

We start our inquiry with the simple sentence from a first grade reader: “I see a tree.”

We will look into the questions: “What is a thing? And “How do you know?”

Our inquiry is parallel to an old Zen saying: first there is a tree, then a no-tree, then a known tree.
