Jonathan Swift, a satirist, first used the phrase: 'There are none so blind as those that
will not see'
The 'seeing' here, I think, is an understanding of logic coupled with a rationally based, natural emotional reaction.
(sorry, this is difficult to express in limited language--the natural emotional reaction is devoid of extraneous added drama.)
The phrase is often used as a biblical quote but apparently does not appear in the text (I'm not a biblical scholar)

I think that this is relevant to a discussion of James Ray and his ilk who pose a real physical threat to those who blindly follow his 'teachings', and so not off-topic----the non-dual stuff is probably best left for another place.
