is a mode of thought whereby 'the eye thinks even more than it listens.'.

In any case, and in all of these states, painting is thought: vision is through thought, and the eye thinks, even more than it listens. (Deleuze and Guattari 'precepts, affects, concepts : Deleuze and Guattari 'precepts, affects, concepts : 482)

is a quality possessed not just by people, but by object. We see garments, therefore they have the quality of vision. They can see: But what can they see'.

And do the Scythians and others see that which has the quality of vision, or that which has not' said Euthydemus. That which has the quality of vision clearly. And you also see that which has the quality Of vision' he said. Yes, I do. Then do you see our garments' Yes. Then our garments have the quality of vision. They can see to any extent, said Ctesippus. What can they see' (plato Eutheydemus .pdf)

is clear only once one can look into one's own heart. Who looks outside, dreams... who looks inside, awakes.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams... who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung

is concerned almost wholly with the process of vision itself rather than on the object seen. As such, vision conveyed, if not a complete identity between the seer and the seen, then at least a very, very close kinship.

Vision was always already a form of knowledge and vice versa. Vernant's account stresses the intimate reciprocity between the seer and the object of his vision. However, rather than referencing the object of one's vision, it is perhaps best to state that what is seen is wholly encompassed and immersed within the process of vision, which is irreducible to a subjective phenomenon, 'conveying if not a complete identity between the two, then at least a very close kinship' (Ibid., 13).

is not a 'thinking about seeing,' to use descartes expression, but a gaze at grips with a visible world.

I discover vision, not as a 'thinking about seeing,' to use Descartes expression, but as a gaze at grips with a visible world, and that is why for me there can be another's gaze. (Maurice Merleau-Ponty)

is not something achieved by a person's eye, but rather is the way in which the soma (or visible-body) forms at the meeting point between rays emanating from the eye (the optical arm) allowing us to see things in certain ways, rays reaching out from the all-seeing sun, allowing things to be seen in certain ways, and rays emitted from objects themselves, allowing themselves to be seen in certain ways. Vision is a textured thing formed as a conjunction between the person who sees, the sun who shows, 

Plato in the Timaeus (45b f.), offers a rather sophisticated description of vision, which was already philosophized by Empedocles within his poem, On Nature. Vernant describes the notion of being immersed in the world, and herewe experience the obliteration of the lines between the physical and psychic: By reason of the kinship between the three phenomena, which all consisted equally of a very pure fire giving light without burning, the optical arm combined with the light of day and with the rays emitted by objects. Blending with them, it formed a single body (soma), perfectly continuous and homogenous, which belonged as a whole both to oneself and to the physical world (Ibid., 13-14).

is not always done at the eyes. Sometimes it is necessary to shut ones eyes in order to see.

I shut my eyes in order to see. (Paul Gauguin)

is such that the gap between it and the current reality is a source of energy, a creative tension that encourages action to move towards the vision.

The gap between vision and current reality is also a source of energy. If there were no gap, there would be no need for any action to move towards the vision. We call this gap creative tension. Peter Senge
