John,

Deep looking is not a matter of wired or not wired. Our view of reality is like an instrument, and once the basic chords are ‘wired’ or learned, we can let go and be creative. Said differently, it requires effort at first, but then it becomes far more simple. The superficial view only seems more natural because you’ve been doing it longer. It actually requires much more effort to maintain, because our mind moves into hunter mode, rather than curious mode.

With warmth,
Matt
