How to See More Abundance and Appreciate More in Life

March 2nd, 2009 by Admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

How we actually see things always includes memories and often includes thoughts. It is impossible to experience vision as we know it without visual memories that the brain uses to decode (translate) the impressions of light it receives from the eyes. Since many visual memories include negative thoughts or emotions as a part of the experience a new way of understanding memories is necessary for greater emotional freedom.

The only people who fully lack visual memories are those who are new born babies, those who have been blind since birth and through the wonders of contemporary medical science have just had the bandages removed from their now able to see eyes, those who who suffer from specific brain injuries. The rest of us use visual memories so that we can see.

How Vision Works

Briefly and simplified here is how vision works: The eyes perceive impressions of light. These are received by the brain. The brain “pulls up” memories it has that seems similar or related to the impressions received. It compares these memories to the current impressions to make sense of and give useable meaning the current perceptions. Most of the time we are unaware of the ongoing process,

However, if you have ever looked at something new and thought , That reminds me of… , at that moment you were more conscious of the process.

Unwanted or negative emotions, such as fear, hurt, pain, embarrassment, and anger can be associated with visual memories. Usually we are not consciously aware of these emotional memories as the flit though our subconscious. However we can be aware of the feelings as the flow through our days.

The Stumbling Blocks of Unwanted Emotions and Thoughts

There are all kinds of good, helpful and similar religious and spiritual teachings about having faith, abundance, positive thinking, being optimistic, etc. They are found in the Bible plus sacred texts and teachings of all of the world’s major religions and spiritual paths.

However, when many of a person’s previous life experiences have been difficult or traumatic (or considered to be so) it can be a Herculean task to stay positive and affirm or pray with faith in the outcome. So much of what a person sees can remind one of negative emotions experienced when perceiving that object or person previously, even when what one is looking at was in no way the cause of a problem.

Three Life Changing Neurological Discoveries

Three neurological findings, when added together have great significance from unwanted negative emotions and reactions.

1.90% of vision happens in the brain

2.60% of the brain is dedicated to vision. This means that the other perceptions and many functions take up the remaining 40%.

3. thought are energy. They can be scientifically measured as such.

A New and Different Approach to Emotional Freedom

If a person’s brain could “see” memories of emotions and thoughts as simply energy (rather than as feelings and meaning) at least 60% of the subconscious negative emotions and thought that one experiences seem to disappear.

While traditional counseling works to peel the layers of unwanted memory, emotions and beliefs by dealing with significances, incidents, problems and feelings, new methods such as EFT and the Sedona Method directly address the emotions and negative thoughts. Both kinds of methodologies focus on the problem.

Awakened Vision seems to ignore any problems that a person has. Instead, the focus is simply on training the brain to perceive more energy now by accumulating visuals images of the world as energy.

As one learns to see more energy, everywhere and always, the brain automatically applies this new visual knowledge to memories of emotions and thoughts. This doesn’t mean the old feelings are resolved. It does mean that the person is no longer experiencing them throughout the day from what is visually perceived. One experiences the world as a friendlier place and life is happier.

How Awakened Vision Can Change Lives

This new way of seeing with Awakened Vision helps one live a more abundant life full of appreciation. It is easier and simple to remain positive and focused on a goal when one is not reliving one’s past upsets.

For instance, Joe works hard to be grateful and appreciate the old clunker of a car he uses to drive to his low paying job. He reminds himself he is fortunate to have a job and a steady income. Joe has additionally begun a business of his own, which brings in a little extra income now, but has future potential.

Commuting to his job Joes sees many cars that he would far rather be driving. They remind him of his own financial position and how sad he feels about it and his inability to afford a better car. There is a specific car Joe especially longs for and every time he sees it on the road he feels especially bad. Although he begins his day with enthusiasm and strong intentions to succeed each day by the time he gets to work or arrives home at night his enthusiasm and resolve have lessened. Joe knows it has something to do with his commute so he also wishes he could find a job closer to home or move closer to work to lessen the commute.

Joe’s problem is not his commute, but what he sees and the visual memories his brain uses as he drives to and from his job. Joe is correct — a shorter commute would be a relief, but gaining Awakened Vision is a better and far easier than a new job or a move.

Our best efforts at being grateful for what we have, appreciating the abundance we have, positive thinking and using the law of attraction can be undermined by the ongoing barrage of visual memories and the emotions associated with them as our brains decode the impressions received from our eyes. We can gain Awakened Vision to transform our lives.

What Are the Three Stages of Awakened Vision?

February 3rd, 2009 by Admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Uncategorized

Awakened Vision is a genuine experiential change in one’s sight. The person with Awakened Vision can actually see more energy, everywhere, always. This perceptual change can have dramatic and lasting results, including allowing for more emotional freedom (relief from unwanted negative emotions and reactions).

There are three stages in the process of gaining full Awakened Vision. It is easy, fun and interesting to do.

Awakened Vision is gained by focused looking at a new kind of art that was especially developed to show the energies of the universe as they create our world. This new art theory is Judy Rey Wasserman’s Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art. This Contemporary Art uses a unique set of symbols for all the strokes to represent the strings of elementary physics. The symbol-strokes also simultaneously represent the letters of the words of The Divine (Genesis 1:3), and concepts of duality held by most of the world’s
spiritual paths and religions.

When a person consciously focuses on the art, seeing more energy, visual memories are created.

Gaining Awakened Vision is unlike most previous coaching or counseling methods that relieve unwanted emotions, reactions and thoughts. Most other methods involve letting go or changing one’s behavior or confronting and reviewing painful incidents or thoughts from one’s memories.

Awakened Vision does not require letting go, reviewing, confronting or dealing purposefully with the past, emotions, behavior or thoughts at all, which is sometimes referred to as “peeling the onion”.

Instead, one puts more into one’s life, creating and gaining very specific visual memories. These memories help the brain recognize what the eyes actually already see: energies. Actually, all the eyes can see is light, which is energy.

First Stage

This stage is the Acquiring stage. It is when a person is looking at Post Conceptual UnGraven Image pictures to gain memories that the brain can use to create the enhanced vision.

Like any self improvement program this takes time. How much time differs from individual to individual just as our minds differ due to our different memories and life experiences. It seems best to limit the amount of each session as after a while the attention wanders and the potential for gain decreases.Gaining enough visual memories of seeing the energies can be accomplished through Visual Exercise/Experiences (and soon to be available DVDs) , paintings, prints and online images. The best resource is to see actual paintings.

Having an actual painting or print displayed in a place you frequent at least once a day, such as your bedroom has an added bonus. It will visually remind you on a daily basis that the energies are everywhere.

.

For a spiritual person it is also a reminder the words of The divine are everywhere. Pause for a moment and look about the room (even the place you are in now while you are reading this) and remind yourself that everything you see is really energy, in more or less solid form.

During this stage the Visual Exercise/Experiences and information in the books, plus any first hand experience with investment quality limited edition prints or paintings are the source of visual information used to gain the memories necessary for Awakened Vision. It becomes obvious that owning this art is a good investment in many ways!

The completion of this stage sort of sneaks up on you. In our busy day to day activities we tend to be focused on what we want to see and miss really seeing what is in our periphery vision and anything we’re not concentrating on.

One day, after gaining many, many memories, so that seeing the energies will not be novel, but almost “normal” to you, you’ll be a bit defocused and realize that the world seems more vibrant or tingly. It will remind you of the Post Conceptual Ungraven Images only the energy sort of vibrates and is much tinier. It is very subtle and will seem natural but also new.

The more you look at it, the more it is there. Plus, you retain all the vision you had. Congratulations! You have Awakened Vision.

Second Stage

This stage begins when one has attained Awakened Vision.

This stage provides a boost to the job of attaining more and more visual memories of seeing the energies that are everywhere always.

First, continue creating more visual memories by lolling at Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art and also through Visual Exercise/Experiences. This is an important activity as you are purposefully putting visual information into your brain.

Also, pause during the day to also purposefully see the energies and consciously remind yourself that you are seeing energy. Also, remind yourself that you are seeing the words of The Divine.

At this stage when bad news or unwanted situations occur take a deep breath, look around and see the energies. See that the universe is still here, you’re still here and nothing is as solid as it seems to be. Everything is only energy.

For those for whom the basic energies of the universe are also the words of The Divine (Creator) this stage is especially significant. There is a huge difference between understanding that the words of The Divine are everywhere, always and actually seeing this for oneself. During a time of difficulty or trial seeing the energies can be an awesome comfort and encouragement.

Again thinking and telling oneself that what you are seeing is energy, or energies (both are correct) helps give the brain the memories you need to achieve stage three.

Third Stage

Just as suddenly realizing that you’re seeing the energies, stage three happens and at first you may not realize it.

It may take days before you realize you are happier and there is really no reason for it. You just feel better. As if a weight was lifted. Except, nothing in your life has changed much. What changed is you.

Perhaps you notice that something that would have made you feel upset, didn’t or that you are far less upset. For instance someone you care about says something unkind, but this time you don’t feel the upset of all those other times that unkind things were said to you. You find yourself just dealing with what is happening now.

Also, something can happen that should have disturbed you, but doesn’t. It is almost puzzling. Except, that you see the energies so you experience little things as less important and larger problems as not as solid.

However, your experience will be a step beyond that understanding, the weight of old, unwanted negative emotions from past similar feelings, just will not be as strong if they are there at all. Plus, emotions, feelings and thoughts that are attached or a part of the visual memories that your brain uses to decode the impressions of light received from your eyes will be recognized as being only energy.

Since once you recognize things that would have upset you previously you will also consciously recall why to a greater degree you will have a choice. You can choose to be upset—or not. It is a choice that you had previously only theoretically, not consciously. The best choice is obvious as feeling upset will not help you or anyone at all, but will limit your effectiveness and happiness.

It also seems that as one continues to see with Awakened Vision and moves through the stages, continuing to purposefully see the energies, one gains more ability at consciously using one’s brain, rather than being used by it. You become more aware of memories and are less likely to mistake them for your own conscious thoughts.

Relief from Traumatic Memories by Playing Tetris and Seeing Energy Images

January 12th, 2009 by Admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Uncategorized

Another neurological research study indicates that our brains will decode disturbing images and unwanted negative emotions as energy if provided with visual images of energy.

Early-stage work by Oxford University psychologists suggests playing ‘Tetris’ after traumatic events could reduce the flashbacks experienced in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The researchers report in PLoS ONE that healthy volunteers, playing ‘Tetris’ soon after viewing traumatic material in the laboratory reduced the number of flashbacks to those scenes in the following week. They believe that the computer game may disrupt the memories that are retained of the sights and sounds witnessed at the time, and which are later re-experienced through involuntary, distressing flashbacks of that moment.

Other researchers have shown that memories and emotions are both energy. Science has been able to actually measure and show the brain’s energy for over thirty years through various brain scanning and imaging equipment.

Ninety percent of the perception of vision occurs in the brain as it decodes the impressions of light that it receives from the brain. For healthy, normal humans vision is the predominant sense, as sixty percent of brain space is dedicated to it.

When the eyes send images of energy, which the game of Tetris simulates the brain can use those images to help decode other impressions, including disturbing ones that the individual is working to resolve and assimilate.

The study by Oxford University psychologists continues. I t could inform new clinical interventions for use immediately after trauma to prevent or lessen the flashbacks that are the hallmark symptom of PTSD. Existing approved treatments can only be provided once PTSD has become established.

‘This is only a first step in showing that this might be a viable approach to preventing PTSD,’ says Dr Emily Holmes of the Department of Psychiatry at Oxford University , who led the work. ‘This was a pure science experiment about how the mind works from which we can try to understand the bigger picture. There is a lot to be done to translate this experimental science result into a potential treatment.’

The psychologists rely on three elements. First, they consider the mind to have two separate types of thought: one is sensory and deals with the direct perceptual experience of the world; the other is conceptual and draws meaning and narrative from experiences to give them context. For example, when looking at Word Art the image (colors, design, size) or the work presents a perceptual experience, but the meaning of the words presents a conceptual experience.

For psychologists there appear to be limits to our abilities in each stream: it is difficult to hold a conversation while doing math problems, for example.

Playing a game like Tetris gives a individual perceptual experience with energy like images. When the brain sees other energy filled images, such as memories that are charged with the energy of emotion, it can then decode this as sensory instead as conceptual information.

Although playing Tetris is fun, and the study’s findings point to success for recent traumatic visual events, early adopters are discovering other energy filled images can be just as effective while addressing both recent and past memories.

Judy Rey Wasserman’s new and emerging Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art theory is focused on the stroke, which always depicts energy. When a brain has seen enough of these images it begins to decode memories that contain unwanted or negative emotions as visual energy, rather than conceptual information of anger, self pity, fear, or other negative ideas and emotions.

CARNIVAL SUNSET

Can looking at larger versions of this image help free a person from unwanted emotions from traumatic and unresolved events? SEE MORE!

The Art of Seeing The Divine – Book 1. What Do You See? is a new e book that reveals more about how a person can easily gain an enhanced vision that includes actually seeing more energy through an illustrated program of Visual Exercise/Experiences using art. There’s also a introductory free booklet for the Art of Seeing The Divine, which includes information and visual exercises to create needed memories.

These new visual memories of energy are used by the brain to decode memories that may include unwanted emotions. This results in more clarity, emotional freedom and success.

Images of artwork and investment quality, signed limited edition prints are available at both the Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art web site and at The Art of Seeing The Divine web site.

While research continues to add evidence for the brain’s capacity to interpret negative emotions as simply perceptions of energy people are finding relief now by providing themselves with easy, fun, and painless ways to provide their brains with the necessary visual images of memories through games like Tetris and viewing Judy Rey Wasserman’s Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art.

Can Vision Control Feelings?

November 18th, 2008 by Admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

The average person’s perception of sight can possibly be credited or blamed for many of their moods and feelings as they move through their days.

How a person actually sees can help create a happy and fulfilled life – or the opposite.

Recent scientific findings indicate that for the average person ninety(90%) percent of the perception of vision takes place in the brain. Average refers to people who have near normal vision with or without corrective lenses and normally healthy brains.

The remaining ten percent (10 %) of the process of vision occurs through the eyes. happens in the eyes, which receive perceptions of light that they send to the brain.

People have been rendered blind, or blind in specific ways by damage to their brains. For instance, one brain injured man can see, but is not able to recognize any faces.

The majority of the complex processes that we call vision happens as the brain decodes the perceptions of light received from the eyes. It does this by comparing and contrasting the perceptions to visual memories it has of prior perceptions.

The more visual memories a person has of different sights, including people, places and things, the more perceptive a person is, especially in relation to what has been seen previously. These memories are stored variously in a person’s brain and can be interconnected or cross referenced.

Some of this information was discovered when medical breakthroughs for a few conditions allowed surgeons to restore the eyesight of adults who had been blind since birth or early childhood. While the procedures were a success, the patients were completely unable to see how many fingers were held up, recognize faces or see anything more than impressions of light.

The newly “healed” patients were effectively blind as they lacked any visual memories. Newborns lack visual memories, which is why they seem to see, but do not respond to visual information at first. Over time, with increased visual experience, the patients created visual memories. Eventually, much in the way that children do, they learned to see and understand complexities of color, space, form, density, etc.

When an average adult sees something, the brain decodes the impressions of light sent by the eyes to make it usable and relevant. The similar memories that the brain uses may have additional meanings and understandings that are irrelevant decode the impressions of light, but are understood as relevant by the brain.

When the brain decodes impressions of light, it is decoding impressions of energy and pre-matter or basic particles. This is what light is. So, to the brain, data memories that are similar to the impressions received are relevant, and if those memories include more data of energy and basic particles it could be relevant, too.

Actually, the brain is bringing up many, many memories seemingly simultaneously, and even from different areas of the brain to decode a complex image that contains a lot of data that involves unfamiliar people and things. These memories can include emotion, which is energy and basic particles and like all memories is stored as such.

If I person has a history of being upbeat or happy, beginning with a comfortable, supportive and healthy childhood and continuing into adulthood, any emotional energy attached to the visual memories used for decoding are likely to be happy or at least neutral. These emotions may seem relevant to the brain as a part of the visual data since they offer additional information of energy and basic particles. Or, they can simply be brought up as part of the memory package.

However, people who have childhoods and/or adult lives filled with stress, trauma and unwanted emotion are unconsciously reminded of emotions and unresolved memories as the brain decodes current impressions of light of people places and things that should be easy to encounter and non- threatening.

The memories used as the decoding data are not usually brought to consciousness, but emotions, being emotions, can be felt.

People who have a tendency to be sad, angry, fearful, guilty, or any other unwanted emotion, may be experiencing these emotions on an ongoing and constant basis as their brains decode the impressions sent by their eyes. This is why going away, to someplace new and strange can seem so uplifting—no memories to re-stimulate.

Thoughts are things – or more precisely energy and pre-particles (matter). Memories are thoughts that are stored. Emotions, which are usually produced by thought, whether conscious or unconscious, are energy and pre-particles, too. Both can be seen and measured through brain imaging.

If the brain is taught to visually recognize emotional energy as just energy when it decodes perceptual impressions, emotional subconscious re-stimulation would abate for most people.

For example, when decoding a light impression of a cup that is similar to a cup used by an abusive older relative in one’s youth, the brain would select visual memories of the original cup to use in the visual decoding process. Like post it notes attached to a memo, negative and unwanted but experienced energies and pre-particles of the emotions of fear, anger, sadness, etc, would all fleet by unconsciously as attachments to the memory. These could be experienced, and even then misunderstood as a part of the individual’s personality.

Ironically, we refer to people’s positive or negative, glass half-full or half-empty world views as their “outlooks”. This could be literally correct.

If the brain uses the same memories, but learns to “view” the energies of the emotions as just energies and particles (without adding or attaching the significances of fear, anger, sadness, etc.), which are irrelevant to decoding visual information, the emotional information is not felt, even unconsciously.

This may seem impossible but it is already being accomplished by scientists through brain imaging. The brain’s emotional centers, and even specific thoughts are being seen as energy. However the scientists and doctors have lack knowledge of the actual specific content of the thoughts – but they can see the energy of the thoughts in brains.

It is also being accomplished through a new form of art, Post Conceptual UnGraven Image, founded by artist and author Judy Rey Wasserman. The brain can be taught to see more energy through specific visual images that purposefully use strokes to symbolize energy, which form pictures, just as traditional artists form imagery. This gives the brain a way to create and accumulate visual memories with information it previously lacked, but which human eyes are capable of perceiving.

Intense exposure and looking at these works of Post Conceptual UnGraven Image Art and through various Visual Exercises/Techniques that use the images in a new e book, The Art of Seeing The Divine , seem to be able to change the way an individual actually sees the world.

Simply, thanks to the new visual memories more energy is seen everywhere. After this is established the brain seems to understand emotions that are attached to memories it uses for visual decoding as simply energy and particles. The emotional significance of that energy is now irrelevant. Thus, fewer unwanted emotions are experienced.

Since sixty percent (60%) of the average person’s brain is allocated to the perception of sight, lowering the amount of ongoing memories of negative or unwanted emotions offers a great deal of relief!

Ironically, one of the unheralded benefits of most meditative practices happened when the practitioner closes his or her eyes. This effectively ceases any and all visual stimulation or decoding, and therefore no emotional memories are brought into the experience this way. Of course a person may remember images or envision at will, but once a person’s eyes are closed any outside visual stimulation ceases.

Visual perception is a basic and effective way to navigate the world. We rely on our sight so much that it is the only sense that must be “turned off” in order to sleep. It is also the sense we have the most control over, simply because we can and do close our eyes. We cannot as easily shut out any other sense. We are just beginning to discover the benefits of additional conscious control through purposefully adding visual memories.

Does Your Mind Use You?

November 7th, 2008 by Admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Uncategorized

Many people believe that the thoughts and ideas that come to them are somehow authentic and relevant. Thoughts and ideas kind of pop-up into their minds and are accepted as though they were chosen experiences. Most of the ideas that a person has is relevant to what they are actually experiencing, especially seeing, Yet, there are often tag-along ideas and emotions revived and sent by the brain that are not relevant at that instant. They may even be harmful.

On a moment to moment basis we are flooded (and that is an understatement!) with memories as the brain uses to decode the impressions it receives through the senses of smell, touch, taste, and sight. By far and away, the most important and consequential sense for the average person is the sense of sight.

Sixty percent of the normal person’s brain is dedicated to the perception of sight. This leaves the reaming forty percent (40%) of the brain to the other four senses, running the body and other tasks. Clearly indicates that sight is a normal person’s most important method of perception.

Scientists, including medical doctors have discovered that ninety percent (90%) of the perception of sight happens in the brain as it decodes the impressions of light that is received from the eyes. The brain does this by comparing the impressions of light to memories of previous impressions of light.

A baby’s eyes do perceive after birth, however it takes a couple of weeks of the baby gaining visual memories before the brain begins to have enough memories to decode the impressions . After about two weeks the baby can recognize the basic caregiver visually to a degree.

As the child grows more visual memories are gained. Learning to read means being able to distinguish shapes, so the letters can be discerned. It takes many visual memories of seeing something new before enough memories accumulate that it can always be decoded.

If you can read this text yourself you have many, many visual memories stored that help you to accomplish the task. When you see something new, a new gadget, person, place, etc., you have so many memories of things, people and places that you easily decode much of the image. Yet new images, mean gaining more visual memory.

Gaining visual memory, seeing new things is something that most people enjoy. This is why we watch the special commercials during the super bowl, like to change fashions, want new gadgets – especially those with screens, etc. New visual experiences are usually at least interesting.

When the brain receives impressions of light from the eyes it almost instantaneously calls up previous memories that contain similar data to decode the impressions. However memories that contain visual data can contain more than visual data. Memories can be like holograms of a moment that include perceptions of vision, sound, taste, touch, smell, thoughts and emotions. So as we move through the day, from moment to moment we are constantly reminded of all kinds of memories. Mainly, we are not conscious of this.

However, if you have ever seen a thing, person or place and though or remarked, That reminds me of… you consciously experienced the process.

Usually this occurs as the brain is not too sure if what is being experienced at the moment is the thing, person or place, so it includes a kind of wake up call or question. This kind of “wake up call” is also used when the brain perceives something that could mean danger, such as when the vehicle directly in front of one slams on its brakes.

Tag-along thoughts and emotions can be misunderstood by a person to be relevant or to somehow belong to them at the moment. This is a mistake that can have many repercussions, especially if the thoughts or emotions have negative content.

For example:

On a warm spring day Jane goes for a walk. On the way she passes various stores and shops. One shop has especially interesting objects that draw Jane to its window. In the corner of the display she sees an antique cup that is much like the one often used at the home of a much disliked great aunt who was verbally abusive, telling Jane that she is incompetent, too sensitive and not as pretty as her own granddaughter. This great aunt even cane when no one was looking.

However at the moment that Jane sees the antique cup she is distracted by the loud honk of a car and squealing brakes of a car as it swerves out of the way. Jane turns to look.

As Jane continues to walk down the street she blames her less happy mood on being startled by the honking and squealing brakes. Jane thinks to herself that she is too sensitive. She feels that old sense of worthlessness again, which she knows is untrue, but somehow she feel it. Jane accepts these thoughts as relevant to the moment, rather than recognizing that these thoughts are just memories that were re-stimulated as the brain decoded the vision of the antique cup in the window.

The above example of how thoughts and emotions may just seem to occur is one most everyone can relate to. We have all been reminded of emotions and thoughts that we then experienced and even continued to experience because we assumed they were relevant. Some people continue to experience thoughts and emotions that are unwanted because they do not know how to let go of them.

The primary source of memories, including emotions, is the perception of vision.
