A story from the book Conscious Seeing illustrates how we don’t see when we are protecting feelings and emotions from the past. Our experiences are exquisitely stored in the brain and later perceptions can be built on incomplete views. This prevents us from fully being outside of ourselves through the eyes. The story line is a metaphor of how we can see and not see. Music composed in Garage Band. Illustrations and Art Work from Roberto Kaplan and Peter Hauschild kahluspeaks.eponym.com www.artcode.cc

Absoulely right. There will be time when this will be tought in schools, and the world would be even more beautiful, than it already is!

Alright, that’s cool… but how are we to use this knowledge? How are we to open up our perceptions? I mean I like the video and it makes a nice point but I’m left going “now what?”

i played it, watched it for 4 seconds, said BORING, and stopped it.

Number one, let your thinking mind be still. Listen not to understand but to have anew perception of reality. We are led to believe that there is something we have to DO to make our eyes better. Just tune into your eyes and perceptions.
15. September 2008 at 1:37 pm
Exactly, if your thinking mind got bored, then right on. This is the point.

That doesn’t make any sense. You say there isn’t something we have to do. Then you say let your mind be still and tune in to your eyes and perceptions. That sounds like something you have to do. And what do you mean thinking mind? Are there other kinds of minds we have that don’t think? How will I know which mind I am currently using in any given moment? You just raise more questions than you answer. I don’t see how saying some swahili words is going to make my eyes any better.

When your thinking mind is quiet you will have a sense of peace. You notice more in your side vision. You enter depth of awareness. That is the beginning. Zulu not Swahili!

Funny thing today I just got a brand new pair of glasses for driving. I’m hoping to be able to see 20/20 again. At least with the glasses I sensed what it feels like to have 20/20 eye sight once again.

What is the power of the glasses. that is the diopters?

“Is it possible that the photo never existed until a person changed their consciousness?”
WHAT?! This video can’t be taken seriously with questions like that!
I understand the difference between physical (biological/physiological) blindness and perceptive scotoma. But this video exudes an aura of quackery and mysticism. The music, verbiage, and cadence all add to a “snake oil salesman” feeling this video elicits.
20. July 2009 at 7:30 am
True evidence is in the experience. Surely, the true experiences of my patients speak about another level of perceiving that goes beyond quackery and snake oil salesman strategy!

I’ve been misunderstood. My intent was to let the producer know that the packaging of the video came off to me as a little hocus pocus-ish. Gave me, a guy watching a flat screen, an aura of carnival/palm reading science.
However, I understand the deeply visceral and insightful episodes that do change our perception. i know this isn’t quackery!
Just wanted to let you know what John Q Public may experience from the video’s production–and unfortunately miss the intent of the posts

Thanks for the clarity. Appreciate you explaining this so clearly.

And I’m sure that throwing glasses at people who need them at given moment is better? No far from the truth. Glasses make eyes lazy and cause need for stronger prescription. Imagine if the information we’re looking into was advertised through the mass media. The optemetry industry would collapse.

Sorry about above post. lol

Explain to me if short sightedness is the “defect” or is it what a myope believes and/or thinks (the real defect). The baby is an excellent example to remind us that we first learned how to see the world peripherally; not things out of context. The distant focus is merely an interest that caught our attention. Too bad myopes become morbidly preoccupied with that attention; learning to see things out of context. No mystery why sight gets worse once out of context seeing develops.

Short or near-sightedness is a deviation measured in the physical eye from the source EyeCode®. Science explains the altered eye as the problem with this defect. The Eyecode® can explain the Myopic programming from genetics and the conditioning of the child growing up. There is value for the person to understand the reason for this perceptual and behavioural style. It is not a problem but a coded gift!

I noticed that I am a creature of habit. When I go grocery shopping to the same store that I normally go to, I realized after many trips, that I go through the store in the same pattern that I did the first few times that I went there, unless there is a random product that I have to pick up. I still haven’t been to every corner of the store after shopping there for 3 years.
My theory is that the guy that didn’t notice the picture after 7 years did something similar at his friends home.
17. September 2009 at 6:36 pm
It sounds similar, doesn’t it?

the eye listening program developed by dr. kaplan is an absolute genius, a life’s work perfected through much research and testing. I am starting his program and finding it a life changing experience.

I am very happy you are having such success. Keep up the good training. Many good wishes, Roberto Kaplan.
