SeeingVision is a primary source of bodily experience from birth onward. Unlike the sense of smell or balance, we can readily focus on certain things and ignore others. Different people looking at a scene from the same vantage point are highly likely to see much the same things, and so we have this experience as a Source Domain for shared experience of other kinds and a metaphoric understanding of the notion of "objectivity".Words for seeing are commonly used to talk about what we know ("I see what you mean;" "She has no insight so expressed everyday views"). Note the vagueness, possible emotionality and "unfocused" nature of metaphoric reference to knowledge from other sensory modalities, e.g., "I hear ya," or "He feels for them," or "That argument stinks". The sense of balance as a Source Domain may offer more to the Target Domain of knowledge and understanding: e.g., "The theory balanced all factors," "Her opinions were biased." (Comments inspired by M. Johnson, 1987) This cluster also includes characteristics of what is seen: Glowing, luminous, numinous, glimmering, shimmering, incandescent, radiant.
