We see everything with the mind

Today I had a strange feeling: that we see everything with the mind. And we feel, and act, and live through the mind.
And inevitably that seeing is tainted by the mind, the conditioning, the long evolution.....

Is there a seeing not with the mind?

Is there a perception without the senses?

Is all seeing done with the eyes?
When I "look" at my fear or my tendencies,
do I "look" with the eyes?.....
So let's call it "perception", instead of "seeing"....
but, then......how does this perception come about?.......

what is seeing?

"The eye, who would believe that so small
an object could contain the images of
all the universe."
Leonardo da Vinci

What is seeing?
Is seeing conditioned?
Is there a seeing which is NOT conditioned?
Or.....is there a seeing which is also aware of its own conditioning?
