Blind People “See”
Because They Open The Third Eye By James Donahue November 2005 Scientists are trying
to find out why blind people develop an uncanny “blindsight” that lets them sense unseen objects in their path.
Anyone who has been around
a blind person knows they get around quite well with the help of a cane or trained dog to help lead the way. But scientists
have discovered the blind’s ability to “sense” objects goes beyond the intensified development of the other
senses. A few years ago my wife
and I enjoyed a series of books by Mary Summer Rain who spent time with a blind Indian woman named No-Eyes, who lived alone
in a home in a forest. No-Eyes “saw” her environment so well that she sensed colors, collected wild roots and
plants to make her own medicine, and was a prophet who told of future events. Many of the things she predicted are presently
coming to pass. When he lived with us
for a while in Aaron preferred taking
his run in the night when other people were not using the trail. I accompanied him a few times for a walk, which I took with
the help of a flashlight. Except for moonlit nights, that trail was as dark as pitch once the sun set in that mountainous
area. Yet Aaron ran hard, without the help of a light, never leaving that winding trail and colliding with those large trees
that lined the way. I was naturally amazed
at his ability to do this and asked him about it. I was familiar with “night vision” and tried to use it from
time-to-time, yet found myself constantly walking off the path and bumping into things. Aaron explained that
he had his third eye open and could clearly see his way through the forest. What he was saying was that he was utilizing the
right side of his brain and had developed skills in extrasensory perception that all humans should be able to have with practice. Since that time I have
been on a new spiritual path with Aaron, I have struggled to turn on the right half of my brain and get it working in synch
with the left half. I have succeeded in developing what I describe as rudimentary abilities in the area of psychic functioning.
But I still think I need a flashlight to walk around in the dark. I suppose my problem
is that I was turned onto this new path too late in life to fully develop anything like the amazing abilities that we see
demonstrated in Aaron. It may also be that I just haven’t been forced to go through life as a blind person, and never
found it necessary to open that third eye enough to see in the dark. As long as I have my crutch, the flashlight, I will use
it. Writing in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team from the University of Houston said they found that people with normal
sight but who are temporarily blinded with artificial means are still able to distinguish basic shapes of objects, sense their
orientation and direction of motion. They also sense “feelings” that an object is near. The conclusion is that
parts of the brain outside of the primary visual cortex respond to nerve messages from the eyes at an unconscious level. Indeed, that just about
sums it all up. |
