Eye Floaters in the Art and Religion of Indigenous Cultures

We all have them, most of us see them, but only a few people pay attention to them: the scattered, transparent and mobile dots and strands in our field of vision. In ophthalmology, they are called "eye floaters" and explained as vitreous opacities.But is this explanation correct? In this book, the author Floco Tausin follows the seers experience that eye floaters are not a cloudiness of the vitreous humour, but a shining structure and an expression of our state of consciousness.In this collection of previously published and revised texts, the author explores the shining structure of consciousness in the arts and religion of indigenous cultures. Topics include the geometric art in Stone Age Europe, the shamanic beliefs and art of traditional societies in Central Asia and South America, as well as the rock art, crafts, architecture and myths of Native Americans of the USA and Canada. My name is Floco Tausin. I'm an author and a graduate of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bern, Switzerland. For many years, I have devoted myself to the exploration of consciousness and exceptional states of consciousness through thinking, feeling, and my own experiencing. The acquaintance with Nestor, a seer living in the Emmental region in Switzerland, led me to a holistic study of so-called eye floaters or mouches volantes. Ever since, I'm engaged, in theory and practice, in the research of visual phenomena in connection with altered states of consciousness and the development of consciousness. My experiences and time of learning with the seer Nestor are subject of the spiritual novel "Mouches Volantes - Eye Floaters as Shining Structure of Consciousness" which was published recently.Der Name Floco Tausin ist ein Pseudonym. Der Autor studierte an der geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Bern und befasst sich in Theorie und Praxis mit der Erforschung subjektiver visueller Phänomene im Zusammenhang mit veränderten Bewusstseinszuständen und Bewusstseinsentwicklung.
