Interesting comments Vacheslav. I think the Bates Method can give us some inner peace if we can practice it properly. One of the writers in the Bates magazine (E E Agranove) wrote that when he had had good practice his sense of loneliness seemed to flee away. Bates in his book spoke of one of his patients having a wonderful feeling of comfort and rest with really good practice, it is in the chapter on Central Fixation.

Well when my eye sight was bad, like my teeth, I blamed it on God, Only after finally understanding that it is laziness and believing commercials which are the cause of the problem, then things started turning around for the better! there are spiritual laws, which you are free to break, but if you do, you will have to suffer the consequences! they have always existed, still are, and will always be!

Darrel, thanks for commenting. Dr. Bates wrote about imagining seeing more clearly, to nudge the brain and the eyes toward that. As you said, most people don’t realize that doing the opposite, imagining seeing worse, may be keeping them stuck where they don’t want to be.

A very nice article Nancy, it made me realize just how much our beliefs and expectations can and do affect out vision. It is so ture that worrying about declining sight is actually imaging seeing worse but I hadn’t never thought about it that way before. Very insightful and thank you. Darrel
