Yes, I am
legally blind. I see about a tenth of what most
people see. I was born with cataracts. They were
removed many times before I was two years old.
I have had about a dozen eye surgeries. I have
always seen about the same as I do now, though
I do think it may be getting slightly worse with
age.
It is hard
to describe how my vision is because it is constantly
changing. I can see much more if the light is
coming from behind me than if it is in my face.
I can see better if the contrast is very distinct.
I have never quite understood if my vision would
be blurry to you if you suddenly saw the world
through my eyes. I think it would be though. I
have talked with people who have experienced going
blind over a few years and they say it is like
looking through wax paper.
I have only
recently realized, in the past few years, that
I cannot distinguish what I am seeing with my
physical eyes and what I am seeing with my psychic
eyes. I just know that sometimes what I think
I see isn't there when I reach for it, and sometimes
I think I see a person a certain way and it isn't
even close to what they physically look like...
yet as I get to know that person I discover that
I saw them as they presented themselves on another
plain.
Here's an
example of that: Forrist, my husband, told me I would
be meeting a man later on in the day, and all
I knew was that he was a healer of some kind,
I had no other information at all. A while later
the man was there and I shook his hand, and he
spoke to me. I heard him speak with an Indian
accent... Dot not feather kind of Indian.... And
he had a turban on and his skin was very dark,
his energy was soft and sweet and I instantly
wanted to be near him and ask him deep spiritual
questions. I took all of this in without much
thought... I usually get streams of information
whenever I hear a voice on the phone or touch
someone etc. Forrist and I walked out to the car
to go on to lunch with plans to return later.
Forrist asked
me what I thought about the healer. I told him
my impressions only I didn't describe him physically
since I knew Forrist could see him just fine. We
ate lunch and Forrist asked me again what I thought
of this man... I almost became impatient as to
why Forrist would ask me about this man again...
then I said something about his skin being very
dark... and Forrist was puzzled and said, "but
his skin is very pale... white" I argued
with him and said of course it was quite dark,
and reminded him of his accent. Forrist said there
was no accent, this man is quite American. Then
I wanted to know about the white turban on his
head.... there was no turban.
I was so convinced
of what I had seen and heard, I was amazed at
how different it was from what Forrist described.
I knew I had to be seeing this man with my Inner
Vision more than my physical vision. I was so
glad to learn that this healer was coming back
again later on that evening so we would get to
spend some time with him. I was amazed and a bit
disappointed when I met him again... no Indian
accent, no turban, no dark skin... not even all
that great to spend time with. I finally decided
that I must have seen him when he was coming directly
from a healing session and that maybe he was channeling
someone that I picked up on and that's how he
did his healing work. I don't have any other answers
to it, I just know that situations like this one
have happened many times throughout my life and
only now am I finally understanding what's going
on.
I know that
seeing with my physical eyes is something that
I would like to experience, and maybe I will...
this is one of the main reasons I became interested
in Theta Healing and working with the DNA. Because
my eye condition is hereditary, it is in my family
and therefor in my DNA. So far I haven't figured
out how to heal myself. I have experienced changes
in the last months; sensitivity to sunlight and
my psychic vision has increased ... now things
seemed to have stabilized. I am in a space of
openness to find the combination that will bring
my vision to 20/20. Yet, I can honestly say...
I know that this work is real even if it doesn't
apply to my eyes. I know it has worked for other
issues with me and that's why I keep working with
it with myself and with others.
I know that
having low vision all my life has pushed me to
see in other ways. I know that I do see in great
detail what others may miss. In fact I have worked
with Scripps Integrative Medicine Department to
create a workshop all around teaching others to
"see" energy. The Healing Touch program
is prevalent there, and they were ecstatic when
they discovered that I could see the energy they
were teaching people how to move and balance with
patients. I am making a name for myself...
"The
blind lady that teaches others to see."
