Knowledge of the immanent is perhaps best facilitated by realizing, as I proposed in the book’s introductory chapters, our dynamic position in the middle of all this. A wonderfully apt image for representing this panoramic position is that of floating or hovering above, seeing from what approximates a bird’s-flight view, that is, a perspective on what is surrounding that “unfold[s] itself to anyone passing over it, as in a balloon” (Hurst, Oxford Topography, p. 4). This bird’s-flight view is not precisely the same thing as the idiomatic bird’s-eye view. The single point of view of the bird’s-eye view, while also offering an Olympian perspective, is more like the way a photographic consciousness operates than a consciousness whose essential quality is exploration. While the “eye” view is like standing on a tower or peak looking out, the “flight” view is like floating over an expanse, surveying a world that is available insofar as access to it is changing.
