[12.0] Emotions and Vision

nvi-emotions

Each of us see the world though a set of metaphors. These metaphors represent our beliefs systems, and how we perceive and make sense of the world as presented to our senses. Everybody has the right to their own individual set of metaphors. No one can say that one is more correct or more right than in an absolute or fundamental sense. Belief systems are all relative to each other, some may be more appropriate in some conditions than others.

Vision therapy is about gaining outsight by gaining insight into yourself your emotions and the metaphors you use to run your body and your life. The nature of your metaphors are reflected in the nature of your physical problems, and vice versa.

[12.1] What is the emotional nature of myopia?

Myopia is a contraction and withdrawal from the world. Myopia is about not trusting what one sees, and about seeing the world through a fear filter. Myopia often indicates a lack of security in ones self and in general trying too hard to achieve and to see.

Myopia is also about being more critical, analytical, judgmental and having excessive attention to detail. The lenses of myopes are negative and make myopes feel negative. The lens also concentrates light on the macula depriving the rest of the retina from participating in the visual process. The peripheral vision is used to position ourselves in space and time and a myope will tend to numb themselves in that process.

Children that are abused tend to develop high myopia.

As myopia recedes more light falls over the retina and a greater part of the brain is reactivated.

In the USA well over 100,000,000 people are myopic.
