Part One

Now You See ME…Now You Don’t…

There are many sources of scientific research on how human beings see. From the curvature of the lenses in our eyes, to the various shapes of the cornea, the range of the frequency and wavelength we are capable of seeing, even to the offset of each eye that can sometimes make it difficult to get a prescription! However, the eyes as a sensory organ are quite fascinating!

The eyes are designed to interact and respond to any type of light source, and transmit that information to the brain, where that light is processed into images, and then those images are given a reference as part of our lives. To describe how we achieve this amazing process, I’ve decided to divide the entire sight system into ten sections. Namely: The eyeball, uvea, retina, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, cones, rods, eyelids, and tear ducts. Instead of going through definitions like other books do, I’d like to deviate by allowing us to experience these parts and try to identify throughout this section those parts that are in use. I believe that personal discovery is the best way to understand oneself!

What we will be dealing with is the connection between the actual field of view, inclusive of your peripheral vision and, understanding how your brain filters that information, eliminating experiencing visual sensory overload.

The truth is when you open your eyelids, you see everything…what happens is, your brain decides how much of what you see is kept and brought forward into your conscious thinking - meaning as you see, your brain records what you see and then, like a computer, goes through the information, and matches it to what you have told your brain you want to see and simply relegates the rest of the visual information to a different part of the brain’s cortex material for temporary storage, archive and or recall.

Some of the sub-functions that occur with that, are responsible for maintaining supple tissue; reducing dryness while the eyes are exposed capturing visual information. Another function allows a bypass system for that same autonomous lubricated process, to receive information from emotionally charged synaptic transponders, which tells the brain that the visual information received is stimulating, and requires an appropriate release to avoid overload. One of those release systems is…wouldn’t you’ve guessed it? Crying! Wait…what did you think I was gona say? Lol!

The exercises in this book are geared to help you go to that part of your brain, and open up the computer program so to speak, rewrite the code to allow you to expand the active flash drive that houses the real-time visual information imprinted through your eyes. The new code is written to allow you to retain more of what you see in the consciously waking state - and by extension expand your ability to have fast memory recall of more than… a rock garden…you will be able to notice that the sunlight shining on one particular flower is casting a shadow on another plant below it, and the shape of the shadow cast by the light, looks like a ‘giraffe’. And the memory

So Let Us Begin!

Tools you will need for this exercise:

•   Pair of Scissors

•   Sticky tape or sticky tack

•   Magnifying glass

•   Scrapbook

•   Pen or pencil

•   A Trusted Friend

The easiest way to experience visual stimulation practice is through pictures. So your first task is to find and cut out 21 pictures. If using photos, you will need to make copies, because in this exercise you’ll be destroying parts of the pictures. Try to get pictures that have incredible detail as well, this will help your identification and recognition skills to increase exponentially!

Now I want you to cut all the pictures in half with the scissors. You can cut them vertically or horizontally, but they must be cut in half. Now take the left half (or top if cut horizontally), of the pictures and put the sticky tape/tack on the back of it. Stick it at the top of each page, one picture per page; in your scrapbook. Be sure to leave the back of that page blank as well – Very Important!

You should now have 21 pages of half pictures. Starting at the first page, find the matching picture, put the picture halves together, but only leaving one half stuck. The other half is not to be stuck to the page. Grab your writing instrument and make two columns below the picture. One column is for items in the Left half (or top half if cut horizontally), and the other is for items in the Right half (or bottom half if cut horizontally). Begin identifying everything you see in the picture. Include everything you see in the picture, use the magnifying glass if necessary…color, shadows, shapes, letters, words, buildings, faces, body types, ethnic backgrounds, etc. Everything you can identify. And make sure to put the items under the correct column heading. You really need to pay attention to both halves carefully, because of the next step.

Really try to memorize both halves thoroughly. When you are certain that you know every item in the pictures’ right, top, left, and bottom halves, the next step is to take that loose half and totally destroy it…. Shred, burn, crumple beyond recognition, or any other method you’d like to use – make sure it’s unrecognizable! Why? Because now you get to work on your ability to recall all the items in that destroyed half of the picture! But first, you need to close your eyes and clearly visualise the existing half; the one that is stuck to page in your scrap book, of the picture and all its
