Mouches Volantes - Eye Floaters as Shining Structure of Consciousness

by Floco Tausin, Andreas Zantop (Translator)

Floco Tausin tells the story about his time of learning with spiritual teacher and seer Nestor, taking place in the hilly region of Emmental, Switzerland. The mystic teachings focus on the widely known but underestimated dots and strands floating in our field of vision, known as eye floaters or mouches volantes. Whereas in ophthalmology, floaters are considered a harmless vitreous opacity, the author gradually learns to see them and reveals the first emergence of the shining structure formed by our consciousness. Mouches Volantes explores the topic of eye floaters in a much wider sense than the usual medical explanations. It merges scientific research, esoteric philosophy and practical consciousness development, and observes the spiritual meaning and everyday life implications of these dots and strands. Floco Tausin is a Graduate of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bern, Switzerland. In theory and practice he is engaged in the research of visual phenomena in connection with altered states of consciousness and the development of consciousness.

Mouches Volantes is the story of the metaphysical journey of the author. The path starts out with the author seeking out an antique secretaire. His intention is to purchase the item, refurbish it, and then sell it for a good profit. The owner of the piece is a strange man named Nestor who eventually agrees to sell the secretaire but only if the author does all of the restoration work at this man’s house.

At the time, the author thinks this request odd but is willing to go to a little trouble to get this fine antique. However, it doesn’t take long before he realizes that something very strange is happening. The work is so physically draining and painful that tasks that should take a few short hours stretches into weeks and months. The author soon learns that this is a very special item which requires the perfect restoration and a completely different view of the world.

Mouches Volantes is a fascinating journey. The title refers to what optometrists call eye floaters, little structures seen when in bright light. In scientific terms these images are harmless and tend to become more common as we age. In this book, eye floaters are extremely significant as they are a call to a different type of consciousness. In essence, they show the potential to take oneself out of the small everyday world to gain an entirely different perspective.
