when you say things like "accepting things as they are" and "go inside your mind" it sounds very buddhist

[BatesHappysight]

@chuckthelumberjack Yes, seeing is a process of the mind and like evey other process it works best if you practise mindfulness, i.e. mental focus!

[FSTOPDR]

I think this is related to why/how multiple witnesses to an event (like a crime) will have multiple results as to what happened.

I forgot the author, but maybe googling "Maps and Territories" will reveal something.

[BatesHappysight]

@FSTOPDR Yes. You only notice what you're interested in. Plus, with witnesses to an event, there's false memory syndrome, where they build up a memory which is influenced by what they think may have happened. With vision, the best way to make use of it is to be aware of the data you are receiving, and to continually check it out without strain or pressure.

Great video! So nice to find a teacher that helps people for free.

Thanks again! what you said about the seeing inside the mind not being the same as photographic images really makes a lot of sense. Obviously, you have read Bates' work and have understood with a depth that many have not been able to reach

[clubtour]

@FSTOPDR The author is Alfred Korzybski and he did groundbreaking observations of how we perceive and make sense of the world around us which led to him developing the discipline general semantics.

Do not forget. You need a Snellen at 20 feet to verify your growing success. You can get them here, just type the 'W's), then

[otissumnerbrown]

Reading your Snellen and confirming 20/20 -- is the Bates method.

thank you so much for your videos!

@reachpreach You are quite right. The short answer is 'no' and 'yes', 'yes' and 'yes' but it's more complicated than that. All I can say is that there are people who have regained perfect sight using Bates method, and if you want an example to inspire you, try Esther van der Werff for example. Or subscribe to the Bates Method Yahoo group and see some of the stories there in the archives.

Hello. Thankyou for your films. I too would like to know the answer to Alamdien's question 7 months ago, as it is very important in terms of (blind) faith and maintaining a positive attitude.To follow this properly is a huge commitment when very short sighted, and it's easy to become despondent when nothing appears to be changing.
