Locating the Mind’s Eye

The mind’s eye does have a location. In fact, it has a multitude of possible locations. It is wherever its owner intends it, wishes it or perceives it to be. If this sounds like a supernatural or metaphysical concept, please remember that dyslexics are able to experience their mental images as actual perceptions. So if they place the mind’s eye in a particular place, they gain the ability to experience their perceptions from that perspective.

When dyslexic people look at an alphabet letter and disorient, within a split second they see dozens of different views—from the top, the sides and the back of the letter. In other words, the mind’s eye is mentally circling around the letter as though it were an object in three-dimensional space. It’s like a helicopter buzzing around, doing surveillance on a building. This is the disorientation function hard at work, trying to recognize the object.

Is the mind’s eye actually out there in the “real” world, circling around the letter and moving behind the page of the book? Is the person having an out-of-body experience? Or is the person’s mind manufacturing the perceptual stimuli needed to make these multiple views? I really don’t know. I just know it happens.
