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. Awhile
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."
