How do we see?  We see what we want to see.  Although what is in the world, that is, what there is to be seen does not change, what we see about the world does.  Depending on our background, circumstances, and mindset at a given time, we all see differently.  We all see different things in what there is to be seen.
     Perhaps this is one reason why many of us tend to deny recountings of spiritual experiences.  We do not think human beings can see what people who have had these experiences claim to have seen.  Fair enough.  But this assumes that what there is to be seen is limited to, well, what we think there is to be seen, and how do we know--really know--that we are seeing everything there is to be seen?
     What if there are things to be seen that, due to our respective notions about what can be seen, we cannot (or will not) see?
     Enter faith.  But not faith in faith itself, for that misses the point, but faith in a someone, and a personal someone at that, a personal someone who, all things considered, is the only viable explanation for our experiences of seeing what we think we would otherwise not.  It thinks, it purposes, it acts.  Like us.
     Only this kind of faith will really see what it cannot.
