That's what makes them blind spots. You need a view from outside.
A blind spot is not a subject you have not thought about. It is a region defined by the position from which it cannot be observed. Trying harder from that same position does not reveal it — it only produces a more detailed view of everything around the missing piece. That is why the search feels exhausting and inconclusive. It is a search conducted from inside the shape being searched.
The proof is small and constant. Someone who has known you a long time names something you do, and there is a specific quiet second in which you understand it is true and had never once considered it. That second is not a failure of intelligence. It is the moment a view arrived from a place your view could not reach.
- —Someone tells you something about yourself and the room goes briefly quiet inside your head.
- —The blind spot appears obvious the moment it is named, and was invisible until then.
- —You suspect it exists and cannot point to it.
- —Every conversation about it circles the shape without landing on the interior.
- —You decide, once or twice, that maybe it is not really there.
The reason blind spots stay blind is not psychological. It is optical. The eye that produces the missing piece is the same eye trying to observe it. What is required is a second vantage — not smarter, not more moral, just elsewhere. That is the entire mechanism. Distance you did not have, applied at the moment the shape is trying to run.

The more you talk with Ori, the more it notices things in your decisions, your reactions, your relationships — what you keep doing without realizing it. Then it helps you recognize those patterns before they cause the same problems again.
Three minutes will not reveal every blind spot at once. It will place you, briefly, in a position from which the interior of your own motion becomes something you can notice. That is where the second vantage begins — and once it exists, it can return.
