You are not going to go blind by viewing the eclipse without special glasses; not even close. How can you? The suns great energy is being partially to wholly blocked by the moon. This means that it is less powerful/harmful to your vision than any other time. If there is any time to get away with a peek at the sun, without the normal discomfort, it is during a solar eclipse.
It just amazes me, not so much that so many people perpetuate this fear, because that what the masses do, but that mainstream scientists do as well. Its not like you can look at the sun without it irritating you enough to look away. We are designed to feel a discomfort when it becomes too much. If you are staring at the sun, you will be irritated, and eventually it will become painful before it has a chance to do permanent damage. Take glances, but dont stare.
However, because of my strange, will not be joining the great masses in order to draw outward at something we cant really see anyway. Its a nonsensical spectacle. This occultation is something much more valuable; an opportunity to go within, making yourself fully available to become part of it, to fully experience the alignment on a pineal level, rather than to behold it, as if YOU are not the event itself, as if it is only out there, separate from you.
This feed is rare, and I will not waste it by being caught up in mass hysteria and outward focus. Eye mmmmm the event.
"As above, so below.
As within,so without."

No offense...but are you qualified to say this?...How do you know?
How do I know what? I said quite a few things here.
I meant how do you know that looking at a solar eclipse doesn't cause eye damage?
But lets be honest. Only the stupidest people get any eye damage, and usually they are on some sort of drug or medication which inhibits the pain and discomfort. It happens every solar eclipse, but again, these cases are rare. Im not promoting that you should go out and stare at the sun to see how long you can do it. Here is some education.

And remember, I said "get away with a peek at the sun"
