When I was three years old, I began wearing glasses. I had two eye operations at 5 and 6 years of age to correct a turn in my left eye, but neither was successful. It was discovered that I was also long-sighted. I had to wear very thick glasses every day and was told that I would have to wear them for the rest of my life. It was difficult to accept this, when my wearing glasses was the subject of much ridicule at school. I was taught by adults, to respond to the taunts of the other children with replying, ‘four eyes are better than two’ but they were words said in defence of myself and I never believed them to be true. I felt like I was hiding, trapped behind those big structures on my face that would become grubby, foggy and speckled with rain.
I remember the constant trips to see the eye specialists as a child and all of the arduous testing that followed. They would place drops in my eyes that would sting and give me foggy vision for hours. Mostly, I remember feeling in all of the tests that I had to perform, the words that I had to read – that if I couldn’t do it, I wouldn’t be good enough. I learnt to memorise certain patterns of letters before the testing, to try to prove that I could see them. When asked if one lens was better than another after trying many, many lenses I would give up and just say it was, so that the testing would be over.
I continued wearing glasses until I was 18 years old when I discovered contacts. Contacts became my ‘get out of jail free card’ – as they appeared to disguise my eyesight issue. I believed that if no one could see me wearing glasses, not only would I no longer look what I perceived to be ‘ugly’, I no longer would have the eyesight issue either – and I went about my life pretending I had perfect sight.
The truth was my sight was not good, so I encountered problems with constantly wearing the contacts, and to avoid this, I never took them out. It was recommended to take contacts out after 12 hours, to allow your eyes to breathe but I dared not do so, in case I had to go back to accepting I had eyesight issues. I would wear contacts in the evening and also to bed for many years so that my partner would never be able to see that I had something wrong with my eyes (and therefore something wrong with me). Wearing the contacts for extended periods had many adverse effects on my eyes – dry eyes and sore red eyes, and my lenses would stick to my eyeballs among other symptoms.
Up until I was 29 years old, my eyesight deteriorated slowly – I was a plus four in each eye and I still had the turn in my left eye. As a child, it was explained to me that my eyesight would continue to worsen as I got older and this was presented to me as a normal part of the ageing process and I had come to accept this.
When I was 29, I discovered Universal Medicine and came for my first healing session with Serge Benhayon. From the first meeting, I felt fully met and seen for who I am, for the first time in my life. Instantly I could feel how much I was living a reduced version of myself, that there was more to me. I could see that the person I had become over my life was based on who I thought I needed to be and was modelled on all of the people around me that I perceived to be better than me at the time – seemingly more happy, more popular, smarter, prettier. I had essentially become a blend of them all and in doing so, had lost my own distinct flavour.
Being in the presence of someone I knew was authentic for the first time, was incredibly inspiring. I felt inspired after this meeting, to work at returning to the true me, the original version and not the made up copy I had developed over my life. From this first meeting I began to consider my life and my choices and to open my eyes to the possibility that there was more to life than meets the eye.
I continued having regular treatments with Serge and other UniMed practitioners, as I found the sessions supportive in returning and remembering who I always was and because I was committed to healing the layers that stood over this. There was nothing more important than this to me. I knew with every cell in my body that the Esoteric way of life was true and all of the parts of me that I had shut down over my life were all coming back to life.
As I became more aware of my body and how I was feeling inside, I also began to remember many events that had taken place in my life that had long been forgotten and pushed aside – I had been encouraged to override what I would see and feel as I was growing up, as if it didn’t exist. This message (to override) was reinforced at home, at school and just about everywhere else. Often I was told I was imagining things and not seeing them at all, and at times that whatever I was seeing was really not that bad when compared to far worse things happening for other people. As a small child, I noticed that people seemed to believe they knew me and how I felt, better than I did myself.
One of those long forgotten events was an abuse of me, and particularly traumatic – occurring at a time in my life immediately prior to when I first needed to start wearing glasses. I remembered being three years old again and speaking the truth I felt and had experienced to those I trusted, only to be told it didn’t happen and I must never speak of it again. This was a coincidence I couldn’t ignore and so I began allowing myself to remember and feel everything I had buried at the time, choosing to see what was there to be seen.
Later, as I allowed myself to feel other experiences in my life that I had learnt to override and ‘conveniently delete’, I continued to commit to healing my old pattern of not seeing, distorting what I would see to suit me and turning a blind eye to things. As I did this, I began to see more and more of what it was I was leaving behind me, where I was heading to and where I now stood in my life. Things were a lot clearer.
I discovered in the process that I was actually very uncomfortable with people really looking right at me, in my eyes. I noticed I would blink frequently when speaking with others and I would often look away quickly rather than hold eye contact. It appeared that I was hiding more than my eyes behind the spectacle frames – I had been hiding ‘me’.
During this period of Esoteric Healing and learning to see once more, I went for a routine eye check and discovered that my eyesight had improved. I was told this was very unusual and they believed this to be an error. I wasn’t surprised given all the healing I was doing with the support of Universal Medicine. My eyes were re-tested and it was discovered that my eyesight was clearly better.
Soon after this, I learnt of certain gentle eye movements through Universal Medicine that could be done to support my eyes and vision and I began to incorporate these into my daily routine. I was very committed and consistent with this and did them first thing, every morning with the intention that I wanted to see everything there was to see. I also continued with the Esoteric Healing sessions and continued to address the issues in my life as they presented.
Another year or so later, routine eye tests revealed that my eyesight had improved drastically. I was referred to an eye specialist to see what was ‘wrong’ as the tests were showing my eyesight was now normal.
I went to the eye specialist who confirmed that this was the case, and although I still had a slight turn in my left eye, I no longer needed to wear glasses. I just knew this was the result of choosing to see and my commitment to seeing everything that is there to be seen (to the best of my ability) and not just the bits I want to see as I had always done.
This was never the goal of going to Serge Benhayon or Universal Medicine – it was never for a cure for my eyesight. This was a true miracle that was unexpected yet I knew was deserved.
The learning didn’t stop there…
Last year, I began a new job and I found my vision deteriorating almost immediately, but I chose to put it down to the computers and nothing more. I needed to wear glasses again. I felt like I had failed and gone backwards. I felt very uncomfortable with wearing glasses again as I realised I still had not healed how I felt about myself and how I had always felt as a child wearing glasses and being ridiculed for it. I found myself taking the glasses off when speaking with my work colleagues and putting them on when I was at my desk and no one was around – on and off, and on and off. I even looked into getting contact lenses to avoid having to feel uncomfortable and to maintain the ‘image’ I wanted to maintain. (I had always believed that glasses made me look ugly) – thereby, following the exact same pattern as before, when I was 18 years old.
The difference now was that I couldn’t go through with buying the contacts. Even at the point of ordering and collecting trial lenses to wear, I couldn’t bring myself to put them in my eyes – there was something inside of me now saying very definitively ‘no’. I chose not to seek the relief that the contacts would bring me but to deal with the issue.
It was an empowering day when I accepted wearing glasses and sat in the office as ‘me’ – without hiding the glasses and unconcerned with how others may be with this. The funny thing was that they didn’t even seem to notice, but I felt ten feet tall. By learning to heal this old hurt it also opened my eyes to more things at work that I had chosen to turn a blind eye to.
I discovered that I have tended to always see the goodness in people and override the reality of how they actually may be at the time. Later, I would get confused or hurt if they weren’t being caring with me and this would come as a shock to me. Now I am allowing myself to see the true good in others but to also see the whole picture, not just this – if there is anger, or rudeness or jealousy then I no longer ignore it, I see it for what it is and allow myself to feel this. I am developing a far deeper understanding of others; the more I choose to see.
I have discovered that my eyes will let me know very clearly if I am choosing to see or if I am turning a blind eye to the truth. When I am not seeing something for the truth that it is, my eyesight deteriorates and I find I need to put my glasses on to read and to focus on things. There is fogginess to things. When I am seeing clearly and am open to seeing more – my eyesight is super clear and I do not need the glasses.

The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Thank you so much for sharing the impact of ‘turning a blind eye to the truth’. This is an amazing story, a miracle, really, but it actually all makes sense and reminds me that I am living the consequence of my choices and the only way to heal truly is to go back to who I am in truth.
I think we take our sight and our eyes for granted and don’t really appreicate how precious our sight and our insight is, we see – but do we really see? Could there be so much more to everything we see than meets the eye, and perhaps our eyes have a grander role than we think.
That’s very true Elizabeth, I notice a profound difference in my eyes at times and what they reflect – the joy to be me or the sadness, hurt and withdrawal.
Deborah it’s something I am going to enquire about regarding the gentle eye exercises, just bringing attention and presence to this area of the body would be very healing in itself. It’s also shown me I don’t yet have a very deep connection to my eyes, I use them of course and can feel them, but I don’t spend time just feeling that area of the body and all it has to communicate. Your point about not wanting to see the truth is a good one too, as we can easily say there are many things we don’t want to see based on what’s happening on the physical surface alone, but there may be a truth there we don’t want to register.
I agree when we choose to turn a blind eye, our eyesight is affected, the key I think for me is to catch what it is that I am still choosing to turn a blind eye to.
I feel when wearing glasses there is a heaviness from the frames but not only from the frames, there is a heaviness within myself of not choosing to see what the truth is. Over the years there has been a lot of shedding from wanting to see things a certain way to slowly seeing the truth of things, I can be very stubborn on this. It is okay to accept life is not perfect, that the truth is many things hurt us in life, and we have to allow ourselves to feel all of this and to come to the acceptance that although we know life can be much more, the reality is it is not at the moment. There has been a few times when I went about my day unable to wear contacts and do not have my spectacles with me, so I would have to really feel my day and cannot pretend I do not know, because it is not only through eyesight that things are registered. When feeling is used, even without eyesight we cannot be fooled, and why would I choose to just use my eyes? No one can really control life into how we want it to be, no one can really wait for the world to become what we know the truth to be, we can only take the first steps and live what we know is true.
Amazing account Deborah… which shows how closely related our emotional-behavioural patterns are with ailments in the human body. Do the work on ourselves-address emotional issues- and the body has an opportunity of restoring itself.
Great to read your blog again Deborah, so much to learn about seeing. I also see all the good in people but need to work on seeing the whole picture and being comfortable to do so. Lots more to contemplate, thank you.
What a great understanding you share, that our bodies indicate when we are avoiding seeing, hearing, listening and speaking truth. To dismiss any symptom as a localised topical issue is to deny the wisdom and insights that are truly available to us all.
This is a great testimony to the healing that can occur when we start to take responsibility for our life and are willing to really look at what we have created through our choices.
What a great marker your eyesight and glasses are for your healing Deborah, thank you for sharing your inspiring article which wakens me to the fact that I have wanted to view life with rose coloured glasses in my past and still do at times, so now I am opening up to see the areas in my life that I am avoiding.
Our eyes will certainly let us know where we are at, with and without glasses. And they love the dedication of some gentle and purpose-full exercises which need not be based on function and outcomes.
That is a totally amazing run of events but it makes so much sense, the fact that so few people are seeing and relating to their bodies signals in this way is something I find interesting. This blog is so inspiring, it goes way beyond eye sight issues and to the core of all our problems, taking responsibility and facing up to our stuff instead of avoiding it.
A revelation that when we turn a blind eye to anything we can no longer see anything clearly.
All I can focus on right now is how blessed you are Deborah that after wearing your contact lenses for so long and not removing them as prescribed you didn’t get a bad infection in your eye/s as some can be so horrendous they can have significant repercussions on the health of your eye with some people even losing their eye as a consequence.
It is an amazing feeling when my eyes become super clear, seeing truth and not avoiding it is a most natural way to be.
Very much appreciating here also Deborah, the way in which you found Serge Benhayon so deeply inspirational – that here was someone who was ‘authentic’. Hear, hear to this, from my own experience also, and how the quality of this man is a constant marker as to what it is to live who one truly is in full, and commit to all in the living (without exception).
Deborah, thank-you for this deeply personal and at once universal sharing. What you’ve described here is nothing less than a process of true healing, which occurs through our willingness to go deeper than any apparent condition or symptom, and connect with the great teachings it is showing us.
A physical betterment or ‘outcome’ is not the point, nor indeed the motivator, as can be read in your story here… yet how truly amazing that your vision has not only improved, but its quality continues to show you about your relationship with truth – especially of that which you perceive around you.
I am deeply touched by your strength of character and indeed, commitment to not only seeing, but living a life of truth Deborah, thank-you.
Your experience defies medical science, so to me this shows that medical science has much to learn about the relationship of our choices to our health and wellbeing.
This really highlights the absolute wisdom and truth that our body reflects and what happens when we see ourselves and how we are in the world with an openness and honesty. A very beautiful blog.
How wonderful Deborah that you were finally able to see the truth of you and the world; no more hiding behind those lenses. Choosing to allow yourself to open your eyes, literally and figuratively, has certainly been a life-changing choice for you. This is so very inspirational to read in many ways, reminding me to look at anything that my eyes are still closed to.
What a great teller of how things are truly when the body gives it to you like that. What I feel reading this is the strength and power you held as a young girl and how others might have had problems with seeing and feeling this in someone way much younger than themselves. What I learned also from reading this is that we shouldn’t calibrate ourselves when we are with others. It’s very healthy to shine as much as we can so that others can see that it is fully allowed.
Wow that’s astonishing, it’s absolutely amazing how clearly our bodies can tell us or show us exactly where we are going wrong, to the point even something labelled as permanent, such as sight deterioration, can change and heal.
This is very interesting. I have always had very good eyesight throughout my life, but in the past 5-6 years, it’s been deteriorating drastically and I am needing glasses when I work or read. But recently, after an Esoteric Yoga session, I noticed that I was not wearing my glasses and was able to work on my computer. It didn’t last very long, but got me very curious about what makes it harder for my eyes to receive what is being presented in front of me, and how I am receiving them, or whether I am trying to counter-project my ‘view’. Thank you, Deborah, your sharing here is helping me deepen my understanding on what is going on.
Thank you Deborah for sharing such an inspiring blog. The vision in my eyes have also improved and I no longer wear contact lenses. It was quite interesting because after not wearing contact lenses for a while I decided to put them in for a wedding because I thought they would give me a little extra vision to what I would normally have. They seemed to be ok to begin with or so I thought but it wasn’t long before I had to take them out because the vision wasn’t clear in my left eye. I knew then, 100% that I had over-ridden my feeling not to wear them. The body has an amazing way of letting us know when something is not right.
What a fantastic barometer your eyes have been Deborah. Our bodies speak to us all the time as you have clearly demonstrated. Thanks.
I find this article very inspiring Deborah, to make the choice to be open to seeing what is there to be seen is not something that I have consciously decided to do. I am however feeling clearly the consequences of not making this choice. Noticing that I get literally knocked of my feet by being in shock of how another chooses to be, instead of very simply accepting anothers choice and seeing it clearly for what it is.
It is amazing how precise our body responds when we live truth or not. When I live in truth I see clearly with the veils lifted that otherwise would obstruct that clear vision when I live that lesser life, a life in disconnection with the truth I inevitably belong to.
An truly extraordinary story to read and an incredible confirmation of the understanding that deepens and the healing power that comes when you are prepared to see truth warts and all. Amazing.
I just loved your amazing story Deborah, it truly is inspiring, thank you, I didn’t have eye problems like you, but with my ideals and beliefs I had tunnel vision, not wanting to see the ugliness in life, just wanting to see the good, this too kept me locked away from my true self, I am now open to see the true loving essence in each person but also see the truth of what actually is going on for them and me also, the whole truth.
Deborah, I so appreciate your blog, it’s one of my favourites. My eyesight has recently changed and reading your blog again I can feel there is much I do not what to accept or see for how it is. I have an a image of how I want life to be, yet the way life is is profoundly different. Your blog has helped me connect to the hurt I feel around this and accept what I am seeing in life. In much appreciation for all you have offered here.
I notice this fogginess when I am or have been anxious, my body is very clear in showing me there is no clarity when I am anxious and gives the sign that it is time to come back to myself because of the pressure I am putting on my body and definitely on my eyes by reaching out instead of receiving light.
This blog is a true eye opener and just like you have shared Deborah I have a tendency to override the reality of where people are at and to see only the goodness. But also not truly wanting to see where I am truly at. I just give a twist to how I want life to be, that’s the turn in my eyes.
‘When I am not seeing something for the truth that it is, my eyesight deteriorates and I find I need to put my glasses on to read and to focus on things.’ I love how our bodies offer us amazing opportunities to observe when, and when not, we choose to see truth.
“I had essentially become a blend of them all and in doing so, had lost my own distinct flavour”. For me, these words sum up so beautifully what happens to us in childhood as we take on the beliefs of others, which if not addressed slowly but surely bury the true essence – “our own distinct flavour” – of the wise child we are, and as a result the way we view the world becomes cloudy as we try to view it through eyes that are not ours.
This journey of yours Deborah is absolutely incredible how open and willing you have been to the healing learning you have chosen, and reconnected to the true senses you have of yourself as a child. It’s inspiring how the unexpected eyesight changes have also confirmed this, and then you had a second chance to deepen the learning with your new computer job, but continued to understand the true energetic reasons for your eyesight changes, and it feels like the healing has deepened hugely with your new understanding with your new insight and your returned vision of clarity. A beautiful story to share.
Thanks for sharing this Deborah, I have had to wear glasses myself for a number of years but I never really thought how it must have been for those who had to wear them from an early age and all the taunts and ridicule they had to put up with. Children can be so cruel to each other in this respect and can effect us for a long time without proper healing.
What an absolutely amazing story Deborah! It never fails to amaze me how much the body is able to heal when we truly look into the issues we hold.
Same for me Kev, our bodies and their ability to heal are so much more amazing than what we believe them to be.
How awesome is this in relation to your eye sight … to feel “fully met and seen for who I am…” initiated you to truly see your self which in turn, enabled you to truly see another, which then over time, your eye sight improved…. what an amazing effect this has on your vision. There has to be some relationship or connection between aliments/illness and emotional processing…
Thank you for sharing, Samantha. That’s very interesting. I have noticed the similar things happening to my eyes over the last few years, but haven’t been able to quite pinpoint when in relation to how I am. One thing that came to my awareness lately is how I tend to look out to the world, instead of just receiving, and how my usual way of looking out actually feels quite intense and hard.
I have had glasses for most of my life and my prescrition is very strong. I can relate to so much that you have shared. I have never really thought too much about it and have just accepted that this is the way my eyes are. Since reading your blog I have recognised that my eyesight can alter on a daily basis which doesnt make sense in the medical world but what you are sharing here makes perfect sense.
This is very interesting to read and left me with plenty to ponder on, thank you Deborah.
Isn’t it amazing that as we begin to see the truth of who we are and not need to try and hide aspects of ourselves, we are then prepared to see others in the same way. It makes total sense that this would have an impact of our own health, in this case your eyesight. Very important message Deborah, that our eyes don’t always let us see the truth.
Beautifully said, Jennifer. From what you say, I get a feeling that what we appreciate as regaining ‘good health’ is only a bi-product of us returning and surrendering to who we are. And yes, it is amazing that there’s more to be seen out there as we accept the more of what we are within.
Deborah, there is so much here in what you share, and so much I relate to. The biggest thing is how easy it is to see good, and since reading this I’ve been considering this and feel I have a way I want the world to be, so my version of good, and I want sometimes desperately to have the world be that, so I want to see the good, but in doing so I often don’t see what is there – so your blog is a great reminder to drop my perceptions and ideals and see what’s there.
Deborah, a great blog of seeing the truth of reality and not what you want it to be. This hit me so clearly that I saw how I want to push aside the truth of what I see and know because is it is more comfortable to do so. Thank you for highlighting this so clearly for me.
Deborah, I’m wondering if one of the hardest things to see is in fact the glorious truth of how amazing we are? How blinkered have we been to this truth?
There is a precise communication going on between ourselves and our body. It’s seems that our body understands us better than we understand ourselves! It’s wonderful that the body will always communicate the absolute unedited truth. Our body “sees” clearly even when we choose not to. What a magnificent friend the body is.
Thank you Deborah for all you have shared – perfect timing for me to read this as I’ve been examining past painful events that were hard for me to see as a child, and my eyes often sting, feel blurry, or are at a reduced capacity when this comes up for me to feel. This line really stood out for me “I have discovered that my eyes will let me know very clearly if I am choosing to see or if I am turning a blind eye to the truth. When I am not seeing something for the truth that it is, my eyesight deteriorates…” So much healing and evolution for me in this line – thank you. It’s about seeing life exactly as it is, not what we want to see.
What a revealing blog this is Deborah. This just proves the power of truly healing our hurts and how the body is the recipient of the energy that flows through it.
What an incredible insight understanding you have gained and share showing there is a relationship between eye sight and the emotional responses we have to life situations. Taking care, dealing with core issues and deepening self love certainly have a part in the way we see, process and participate in relationship and in life.
It seems to always come back to the type of relationship we have with ourselves.
This line stood out for me today – “I discovered that I have tended to always see the goodness in people and override the reality of how they actually may be at the time” and I was like check. I have done that a lot and in some situations still do. I feel the reality but see the goodness. Thanks for the reminder to feel the goodness and the reality at the same time.
Yes, great reminder isn’t it, I also do that, wanting to see the good yet at the same time not truly honoring what is going on and what is being expressed. I can be a bit naive at times, thinking that all is good and lovey dovey, but in fact it is not…
Why don’t we want to see what really is going on? I have asked myself this question, to see what really is going on brings back the responsibility to live the love that I am, to not shy away or turn a blind eye to all I have to bring and how needed my expression is and from all of us.
You have taken this to such an amazing depth Deborah, what you write is an great example how our bodies are a marker of truth.
I have found when I have trouble with my eyes, for example at the moment one has been twitching for about 3 weeks on and off, that there is something that I haven’t wanted to see in the past but am now allowing myself to see. It feels to me like a clearing in my eyes.
I like this part about having understanding for others through feeling everything and being observant of all that is going on with everyone, not just selective people, or selecting certain behaviours that feel comfortable. By choosing to see and feel it all, the good the bad and the ugly that can be expressed by any one at any time, there is power and strength and unity.
I too have poor eye sight since childhood and used to feel ‘not good enough’ when I couldn’t read the letters. Beautiful to read how addressing the whole person can heal eye sight, and of course why not, as we are not separated into individual bits and organs, despite western medicine currently dividing us up into separate pieces. Wholistic esoteric healing is the way forward.
Thank you Deborah for your great insights . . . “When I am not seeing something for the truth that it is, my eyesight deteriorates and I find I need to put my glasses on to read . . . .and . . .” When I am seeing clearly and am open to seeing more – my eyesight is super clear and I do not need the glasses.” . . . How beautiful is the workings of the soul through the body that it can talk to us in such a precise way. And how amazing are we that we can turned a condition around the moment we are willing to make the required changes.
Looking at life with filters does not feel true to me anymore, as judgments have become the norm in the world devoid of understanding. We do have the ability and the choice to feel truth and to see it and express it is responsibility, this blog is very timely to read Deborah.
I have also accepted the image in seeing the good in everyone despite the fact that not all our behaviors reflect this in life, and hence have brushed past and ignored my responsibility in seeing and expressing truth in its fullness and also played the game of feeling being let down when others do not live up to this picture I am holding onto.
I can also relate to your sharing Deborah how it felt uncomfortable wearing glasses. I was given the opportunity to test this recently too in my life and had to wear glasses vs wearing contacts, and that was a deep healing in the acceptance of myself and it brought out the truth that how I am has nothing to do with how I look on the external whatsoever, as the feeling of the precious truth of who I am is deeply felt within.
I have had experiences where when I went to work—and my work is mostly in images, that I was asked to not rely on my eyesight, for example, my contacts would not be comfortable and I had to take them off while at work, when I did not have my glasses with me. I remembered working in a photoshoot without any support from external eye vision, so I had to simply feel everything. It was a bit daunting at first to let go of this support I have relied on for so many years, but when I trusted in myself, it actually felt more simple. It is exposing that when I did not rely on outward vision support, which I have thought to aid me in seeing, I actually “saw” much more.
Deborah this is an amazing testimonial on seeing the full truth for what it is. I am very inspired by your sharing as I wear glasses and contacts too. I also find that when I do not want to see the full truth of myself or others, my eye sight gets more blurry and in being more honest with myself and with life, my eyesight has also improved.
This is so fascinating! I know that you didn’t go to the healing for your eye sight to become normal but that is really miraculous and I am going to share this far and wide as it really gives testament to what is possible.
Wow, this is a amazing blog, I have some eyesight issues for quite some time now, and can so relate to not truly wanting to see what is going on, and hiding that who I truly am. Our body reflects how we live so clearly, we only sometimes need a wake up call to see what is really going on.
Wow Deborah what an absolute inspiration you are to anyone willing to look a little deeper in what their bodies is saying. We are always shown the answers if we are willing to see the truth 🙂
As I was reading this blog, I remembered the only time that I needed to wear glasses was during one of the office jobs I have done and there was indeed a lot there that I didn’t like to see and a lot of things that I didn’t want to accept. I ended up getting glasses and thinking it was all about the long hours on the computer but can now see clearly that there was more to that than I first thought!
Awesome blog Deborah! I love how you share honestly about not taking your contact lenses out so even your partner would not know. It is great that you were able to get to the reason behind all of this and understand parts in your life that you just did not want to see. Another everyday miracle that happens when we really deal with our issues with the support of Esoteric Healing and the The Way of the Livingness.
Wow great insight Samantha, isn’t it amazing how our whole body, including our eyes, just reflect back to us what is truly going on….?
Yeah this is amazing and revealing. I definitely need to pay more attention to when I get more blurry in my vision.
Yeah me too, and not only with our vision, but every time our body is giving us a signal. There is always a deeper reason behind it, something for us to become aware of.
I can relate to only seeing the good in people as well (also from a need to be liked) and have learned and am still learning to see and mostly feel the bigger picture. And with that, that there are also things that are dishonest and not nice at all.
Ditto Mariette, I am also super forgiving – most of the time and want to rush over or dismiss any hurt or damage done by an interaction with someone I like.
Yep me too, dismissing what is truly going on behind the being nice and yes, when I like somebody, I don’t want to feel what is going on. So I am learning it is not about nice and liking, but about truth and feeling the energy.
Yes I too can relate to “only seeing the good in people” and then wondering why I used to get so hurt. To be able to see the truth of a person but at the same time being aware of the bigger picture has been an incredible learning for me; a lesson that continues each day.
For me too Ingrid, I can still fall for the ‘oh but he or she is being so nice to me etc. but more and more I allow to feel the energy and then it is not always that nice. But then we use nice to cover up what is truly going on. I have played that game for a very long time…
What an incredible story you share here, and very confirming for me. When one of my daughters needed glasses there was something in me that felt the issue was more than just a medical error in her eyes, but that the way she looks at life was underneath her eye condition.
This is an amazing miracle indeed Deborah. I love the simplicity in what you presented – that your eyes got so bad because there were things you did not want to see. The honesty and way of the body to show us that how we are living is not true or loving is absolutely divine.
Thank you for sharing this Deborah. This is very revealing and also healing for me to read as I have a similar experience. I now have a much greater awareness as to what my eyes are communicating to me. The body is a truly wondrous thing especially when we make the choice to heed its messages.
I was really intrigued reading your blog Deborah – our body has such a great wisdom in the way it teaches us and helps us to understand where we could be more loving with ourselves – your sharing is inspiring in your dedication and commitment to seeing what was underneath asking to be healed.
Wow! What a great blessing to have an immediate barometer of what is happening in your life. For me God will only ever give me what I am ready to heal and learn!
“– I had been encouraged to override what I would see and feel as I was growing up, as if it didn’t exist.” This is so common it seems. Children’s feelings are often discounted, because parents may be inconvenienced. Yet those same parents had the same issues with expressing – and being met in their turn too. Apparently eye-sight problems are on the increase. Time to listen to, and meet everyone we come across – including children.
A real eye-opener of a blog – literally – and just goes to show that our body is most definitely the marker of truth, whether we choose to see truth or not. Most thought-provoking and inspiring.
Absolutely Cathy; ‘…goes to show that our body is most definitely the marker of truth’ There is so much that our bodies are showing us, if we choose to look at what is presented to us.
Ha ha Cathy, it can be confronting the truth! I really dislike wearing glasses mainly because I have to find them to wear them for reading, on my head off my head and I had accepted I have to have them for reading after having perfect vision up until 40, so it is interesting to look at whether there is more than mets the eye : ) going on here.
Deborah, I am always amazed when I read this blog. Having just picked up my new glasses after wearing the last pair for two-three years and receiving a firm prod from a friend, I finally got round to buying the new pair and during the process have seen how I have really needed to see the ‘ugly’ side of where people are at and accept this. Previously I would always say things were alright, or make an excuse for another’s behaviour, but not anymore. The truth is the more I see and accept, without glossing things over, the more I become more of the real me. I feel stronger and my purpose in the world feels very clear as a result. When we refuse to see what’s right under our nose, we’re doing a great disservice to ourselves and others as we end up living a lie and stunting our own growth.
I like what you are sharing here Shevon and Deborah it shows that we are all constantly choosing to see or not and that that has a very real impact on our bodies, our eyes being one us having clarity in our day being another.
Wow Shevon, thank you, I can really relate to all you’ve shared here, particularly “I have really needed to see the ‘ugly’ side of where people are at and accept this…..The truth is the more I see and accept, without glossing things over, the more I become more of the real me.” This has really deepened things for me, it’s helped me to realise I’m not just turning a bling eye but by doing so, also cutting myself off from the fullness of myself and my truth and expression. And I can see the service I can also provide by allowing the full picture to be seen and when appropriate, communicating this to others. This is then evolution for all.
Thank you Deborah for sharing you, I really enjoyed reading about your inspiration to re-connect, your eyes, your willingness to see again and the healing that has taken place to support you to be all that you are. A beautiful unfolding.
Wow, the amount of clarity you bring to this subject of self assessment and acting on it is outstanding.
Makes me think how many chronic conditions can be healed or at least understood. Alowing it to no longer be such an emotional burden on many people’s lives.
As you say the key is to heal the root cause and not the condition itself.
Absolutely Luke and what I love about this is that it always makes sense. Like eye problems have to do with wanting to see things in the world – very simple. Western medicine with seeing it as an illness that just comes over us alone and needs to be fixed physically, we miss seeing that simplicity and true root cause to be healed.
It is simple however because we have subscribed to wanting to be smarter and have a high intellect. The simple magic of how the world really is will never satisfy this intellect.
Very true Luke. The intellect is not looking for that. The heart will be very satisfied though by these simple explanations for illness and disease. I find it brings true joy to my life knowing these simple common sense truths about our body and illness and disease.
It is outstanding Luke. Such clarity, honesty and commitment to seeing life as it is and healing the hurts from when you have chosen otherwise.
I’d vote for that! 😉
This is amazing and also perfectly logical Deborah. You have given me many clues as to why some days I can see clearly and sometimes not. Thank you for this wise blog.
Wow Deborah. Now that is a miricle. Truly incredible, Our bodies are remarkable things. “people seemed to believe they knew me and how I felt, better than I did myself.” This happens a lot and seems to be the case so that people can tell you how to live and what to buy, to not upset the status quo. It diminishes one’s trust for themselves and says you can’t trust your own feelings. No one puts emphasis on the fact that our bodies are great markers and that we absolutely know what’s great for them.
An amazing journey Deborah. Thank you for sharing your story. It resonated profoundly as I have been told that I now have cataracts, and while I knew it was about choosing to see what I wanted to see and protecting my eyes from truly seeing the truth, hence covering up my eyes with the cataracts, your story has opened my way of being to something more and I thank you again.
Wow Deborah this is such a clear indication of how we can “choose to see” and be in life. By choosing to make ourselves small, we miss the detail in life and things become foggy, I know this myself from my own eyesight issues. Thank you for bringing greater clarity to the way we see the world, there is so much learning in what you have shared.
Thank you for sharing your journey Deborah. I am amazed at the huge difference you have experienced in your eyesight since connecting with Serge Benhayon and the teaching of the Ancient Wisdom. I was truly thrilled to know that what you share I can relate to on a smaller scale. I have noticed over the past year that my long sight has improved and I see better without my glasses for this. I thought I was imagining this for a while . but will ask my Optometrist to check this for me next time I am there. Thank you .
What an incredible story Deborah! I also wear glasses and find my eye sight varies from day to day and through out the day. You have raised so many valuable points for me to reflect on regarding how and where I might be ‘turning a blind eye’ to things. Thank you!
‘Now I am allowing myself to see the true good in others but to also see the whole picture, not just this – if there is anger, or rudeness or jealousy then I no longer ignore it, I see it for what it is and allow myself to feel this. I am developing a far deeper understanding of others; the more I choose to see.’ Very inspiring Deborah and definitely something to work on to see the whole picture and not get distracted and invested by only the true good side in others and to feel what is there without judgement.
An amazingly insightful and beautiful blog, Deborah. My eyes have been troubling me quite a lot recently – and although I am aware that this has a deeper meaning other than I am getting older, I am resisting looking into what lies underneath what is happening physically. By reading your lovely blog I will return to my eyes with more understanding and appreciation for the opportunity being offered.
Goodness, I can’t imagine what it must have been like to go from having such bad eyesight to actually not needing glasses. I can imagine it was really inspiring to see what the dedication to your own healing did for you. I also see (ha ha) beyond that outcome, because you also learnt to see everything, not just the bits you wanted to see. We can all learn so much from your blog, thank you
Wow – an extraordinary sharing. The power of choosing to see truth, or not, is more profound than I ever imagined and your commitment to see it, inspiring.
Awesome Deborah.
Wonderful life story and how our eyes can be a metaphor of how we blind ourselves, not wanting to see things as they are, and not wanting to show ourselves in full. Thank you.
Our eyes can tell us so much about what we choose to see and what we choose to ignore. We blame bad eye sight on genetics or old age and yet there is something there for all of us to learn about what we are prepared to see in life. I have a similar tendency to have ‘rose coloured glasses’ and not want to see all of what I am seeing. However when I stay with feeling my eyes and myself, I am able to see more but through more loving eyes.
Your relationship with your eyes is inspiring. It truly shows how loudly our bodies do actually communicate with us all of the time. Beautiful reminder, thank you Deborah.
Thank you Deborah – a very powerful blog. The symbolism of glasses and seeing clearly has ‘opened’ my eyes to the multitude of messages there for all of us to see, if we but only choose to. Everyday we are making choices which cause us to contract, to over-ride, to excuse, because if we were to see the truth then we are exposed. How blessed we are to have such awesome ‘symbolic’ happenings available to us consistently – loving us, believing in us, empowering us. The choice is ours – to see or not to see.
Wow Deborah that really is a miracle! For so long, not having s strong eyesight to then going back to normal eyesight is incredible!! Perhaps there is more to address with our physical problems than just the physical?
It is such a blessing that our bodies are fully dedicated to supporting us in our process of returning to what we already know but are yet to live. And the way in which it is tailor made for each and every one of us.
Wow this was so worth reading. I have been experiencing problems with my eyes lately and I can really relate to the statement “I discovered that I have tended to always see the goodness in people and override the reality of how they actually may be at the time”. This feels like the key for me. It also feels related to how much I allow myself to see my own behaviours and the resulting consequences. Thank you Deborah.
Deborah, this is such an amazing blog. Your eyes literally tell you when you’re choosing to be blind. And your comment on wanting to see good in others, is very uncomfortable for me as I do this a lot – I want to give the benefit of the doubt but often in that I am actually allowing something which is not right and I know it – I am choosing not to see it and hiding behind an ideal of how I expect people to be / want them to be. It’s a form of lying really and yet when I choose to just see, it’s simple – one to be more aware of and play with.
There is not much reflection often given to our eyes and eyesight, especially if there is nothing physically wrong. Even though my eyesight is fine my eyes are a tell tale marker for me too about how I am going with seeing truth, my eyes can vary in degrees of redness, swelling and at times lots of styes and infections. For me it might be the more I react to what I am seeing in the world the worse my eyes are. The way you have engaged and worked with this Deborah and chosen to see all of the truth must have been with real commitment and depth to have such a powerful physical improvement – thanks for what you have shared and inspired here.
what an insightful journey with your eyes- I deeply admire your commitment and willingness to want to see everything there is to see – with or without eye sight problems what you offer here is inspiring for everyone.
Wow Deborah your eyes are markers of truth and wisdom. Fantastic.
So inspiring. I can feel the depth of your commitment in every word you have written. It is amazing how when we allow ourselves to feel what is really going on or being communicated by the body we can learn so much. I have had a similar process, with exhaustion that was so severe I was unable to work when I first started receiving Esoteric Healing. After regular Esoteric Healing sessions I was able to return to work much quicker than was ‘normal’ for someone with those levels of fatigue. Now if I overdo it my body lets me know and I will feel a little tired but not to the point that I can’t do everything I need to in my day. I love that my body is my guide, thanks to the teachings of Universal Medicine.
How often do we bury things in our bodies? What I love about your blog is that it show there are no magic cures – commitment, consistency and honesty help us to heal the hurts buried in our bodies and this is a lifelong commitment.
I always find it amazing how the body will not let you get away with anything. The body is always a great reflection of your choices. Yours is a truly beautiful blog in that you were willing to see what there was to see and deal with and as a result your eyesight improved. Shows if you are open to change the body will respond.
Deborah, this is a beautiful account of how we all can ‘turn a blind eye to truth’ even if we have no eye issues. What I have been noticing lately is how often we ‘look’ but how rarely we truly SEE. Your words are confirmation to the simple truth that we are all blessed with the gift of ‘sight’, in all its dimensions and it is up to us how much of this we choose to use.
How interesting Deborah. I have worn glasses since the age of four (I am now 36) and have a minus five prescription. It never occurred to me until a few years ago, when a Universal Medicine practitioner and I spoke about my pattern of being nice and how I didn’t want to see things and this could be why I had such a strong prescription. I’ve not been fully open to seeing this, but reading your post is very timely as I notice this week in particular my eyesight has been foggy, especially after eating. Thank you for writing this as it leaves me to really reflect on what it is I don’t want to see. It’s really encouraging that you really went for it and took the support available.
Wow. I am not sure where to start on this one. You are a living miracle. And such a real one at that, because it is super clear how you have healed your eyesight. You have not handed your power over to some force to say ‘heal me’, you have said I am ready to know the truth, the whole truth and see things for exactly what they are, then sought some support to do so. Amazing story Deborah. Really inspiring because I know for me – at times – I have been ‘blinded’ by not wanting to see what is truly going on and your blog has inspired me to commit to wanting to see the whole truth each and every time.
Thank you for sharing your experience Deborah, a great reminder that the body is constantly giving us feedback on how we are living, and how it responds when we change our old patterns.
When a child is abused that is a terrible thing, when they turn to those they trust and are shut down and told “that did not happen you must have imagined it” all trust is shattered, the child is alone, and that is a tragedy that happens all to often.
Like with your eyesight it is with everything in us. Once we are willing to see and feel clearly with all our bodies, an amazing clarity is there that does not ask for reasons or allow for doubts. A simple knowing and stillness without emotions. Just joy :o)
Thank you Deborah. Such a great blog. Opening up to seeing absolutely everything feels so expanding and I could feel this happening in me as I read it. Awesome to hear how your eye sight improved, but then of course it did as you chose to see it all.
The beauty and depth of a persons eyes is so beautiful to see; the radiance that they live with comes out in their eyes for all to see and feel.
I know I too, have turned a blind eye to truth when the truth wasn’t a convenient thing to see. In fact, before I started consistently attending Universal Medicine events five years ago my eye sight had deteriorated to the point where I finally admitted to myself that I needed to have them tested. But admitting that to myself didn’t mean I actually went to have them tested! About a year in to workshops, courses, and sessions it occurred to me that I was no longer having trouble with my eyesight….! Physically and energetically I was seeing things clearer than I had for a long time and so life was feeling clearer to me as well. Interestingly, just recently I have begun to notice that my vision is beginning to feel cloudy and congested at times…..time to get to the heart of the matter once again and hence why I was drawn to your amazingly power-full sharing, Deborah. Thank you!
Awesome article Deborah, you just shown us something amazing with this story. It’s interesting how we have come to accept as a general rule, that things can only get worse with age. You are walking proof that this is not the case.
Thank you for this awesome sharing Deborah – there are so many layers here to reflect on. It has supported me to see the truth – and made me aware how I too also see the good in people but ‘gloss over’ sometimes to not see all of what is occurring. Your story recounting how the quality of your eyesight is connected to how much you are willing to see everything, is revelatory.
This is so awesome! This is the best medicine that one could ever have ~ truly healing the eyes with the love, care and support of seeing all of what is in front of us instead of seeing only what we choose to focus on. Awesome blog Deborah and may your eye sight continue to improve if it is so needed.
Thank you for sharing this Deborah and all the revelations that you came to along the way. A real example of how much our sight is connected with what we allow ourselves to see energetically as well as physically.
This I will take with me as I connect to my body and listen to its beautiful messages.
To literally not want to see reality… The body tells us how we are in miraculous ways, and in your story it is a very specific way! A reminder that everything that happens to us, means that we can’ look’ at it and see it for what it is.
Absolutely how true healing is part of our evolution back to God!
Thank you Deborah for your awesome sharing. I too wear glasses and have had them since the age of 13. I ended up with glasses after two years of living abroad in Africa and having to take anti-malaria medication…I just always assumed that it was the medications that caused the deterioration, or so I thought till about 10 minutes ago. After reading your article, it has left me to ponder much on how it is that my eyesight actually deteriorated and whether there was more to it than meets the eye! What was it that I did not really want to see, or felt unable to accept or handle? And the changes in eye sight over the years too – this is something for me to look at! Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities Deborah!
Returning to this blog felt like a fresh read as I saw many different things than from last time to learn from. Rather than giving ourselves a hard time with the poor eyesight, our eyes are yet just another way that our bodies show us what is really going on in our lives and the choices we are making. For me it really is about the detail in my vision and my life in general – sometimes when I focus on very close up detail for too long when I look up I notice my vision is much worse, I loose sight of the big picture. Something that really stuck with me while reading was that situation in which we are trained (actively told and passively from watching others) from young to tailor what we see and feel, whatever doesn’t make the cut (by whatever standards have been adopted) is simply discarded or treated as less/imaginary. Thank you Deborah for the reminder that life and ourselves are much more should we be willing to feel that fact for the fact it is.
Your path to truth through your eyes is inspiring Deborah. Reading your blog I was remembering that last night I watched TV for a longer time than my body wanted to, and today I have tired eyes! I will be more aware of the truth from my body and how I am caring for my eyes from now on. Thank you.
Hi Deb, thank you for sharing yourself so generously. Your story is a perfect before and after story. Nobody could argue or deny that! Fabulous insight into how the body responds to one not wanting to see things and how it corrects itself when you allow what there is to be seen to be seen
Indeed Kathleen. Absolutely stunning and such a powerful proof in how far our choices are the cause for how our body is, works and feels. Thank you Deborah for sharing your amazing path.
Thank you Deborah and kathleenbaldwin, yes an absolute cracker of a before and after. Stories like this should be frontpage news. How can we deny the truth of what is presented by Serge Benhayon? Could it be as Deborah so easily explains we do not want to see the truth in all things? How many people are wearing something to correct their vision? When we take full responsibility for all our choices in life, which is us returning to the true love of God, which is felt through the presence of Serge Benhayon, this ‘was incredibly inspiring. I felt inspired after this meeting, with Serge to work at returning to the true me’! A true Son of God!
This is amazing ! You are blessed with such a clear marker to know where you are at.
Your body is your best friend.
Deborah this blog was very interesting and has helped me so much with high-lighting how I am choosing to see things.
I practice looking into my own eyes everyday for a short period of time before I leave the house and I had noticed that on some days my vision is clear and on others, things are blurry or there is a fading away effect going on. I have noticed that when I just be and receive instead of trying to see, my eyes open up and I look clearer.
Like you my eyes became worse when I went back to work and I also put it down to the computer work I do all day. Reading this has given me a nudge to look at what I am and am not willing to see. Many thanks.
I agree Joel, this is a great example of the miracles that happen when we take responsibility for our lives and how we are living. It brings the power back to ourselves and not at the mercy of circumstance, fate or chance.
Another great miracle story that the head cannot work out…love it. Deborah, your story is a great example of how true change can occur when we address the root cause. When you made the choice to be open to seeing everything & stop turning a blind eye to life, you started walking back to truth – and this is indeed when miracles shine their light.
Wow Deborah thanks for sharing your amazing story! How incredible that your eyes were ‘speaking’ to you, showing you what you didn’t want to see and when you chose to see the whole picture they improved, wow! It also demonstrates the incredible power of esoteric healing and clearing the root cause of an issue. When we commit to love miracles do happen.
Deborah I really enjoyed reading this, because it’s so relatable – I also wear contacts/glasses and find that when my contacts play up, or feel gritty with makeup or blurry, that there’s something in the way of me seeing (more). And that when I have this awareness, the contact lens issue ‘magically’ clears and my sight returns. I’ve experienced that sight is what supports the ability to feel – feel what’s going around us (the truth). In other words when we choose to not see/or our sight is being somehow affected, then what is it that we don’t want to feel (by not seeing)? Seeing then is feeling.
Thank you Bina, you have shown me a way to go deeper in my search for truth. A way to increase my commitment for the day ahead. A way for me to see what my eyes have chosen to hide, and to start seeing not from my eyes, but from inside my heart.
This is a super awesome account thanks Deborah. I wear glasses for computer work only, but now have an amazing reference – knowing that you’ve shown us that potentially, as we heal, what’s stopping us from choosing to see (have awareness), and your eye sight can actually improve!
Great insight Leigh, I too wear glass’s for long distance. I hadn’t thought of it this way, but can feel how this could be true for me also.
It blows me away how many things are right in front of our eyes we choose not to see. What a gift your eyesight has turned out to be, your body giving you a clear message to stop and reassess what is before you. It gave me much to feel into on how I choose to see people and whether it’s reality, or what I want them to be. I too wear glasses and can feel how much truth there is in your blog. Thanks for sharing.
Deborah what an incredible experience that being willing to truly open your eyes to truth impacted the physical function of your eyes. I loved all the layers of discovery and your commitment to healing anything that was impacting your eyesight. Very inspiring!
I love your morning commitment stating that you want to see Truth. By choosing this your body responded. Amazingly powerful.
Wow! This is amazing and I’m sure this baffles optometrists. Nothing short of miracles are possible when we claim the full responsibility for our lives.
Wow Deborah, this is really amazing – & it just makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing.
Wow Deborah…I loved reading about your return to seeing truth again. Your experience is an inspiration as is the wisdom of our bodies.
Thank you both for sharing the powerful and palpable difference we can make, not just in our own lives, but in others’ too.
Thank you Deborah a very inspiring read, your article could support so many people that have problems with their eyesight, ‘seeing’ that there is another level they could go to, how our eyesight is affected by how we see things in our life. What I am realising is that I have always had good eyesight, so I am aware of what I see, but it is the next bit that I am not so great at, it is knowing what to do with what I see, and how much I have learnt to say nothing and hold back just in case it causes a reaction either in myself or in someone else.
By reading your comment Alison I realise that I have good eyesight and I am also aware of what I see. But it is what I choose to do with this awareness that requires attention. I haven’t turned a blind eye to the truth but I may have turned my back on truth!
And by reading your comment Nikki, I am able to feel how there is always a deeper level that we can go to with what we see. Perhaps we need to learn (remember) to read with our hearts, the messages our eyes are constantly receiving. In this way we can never turn our back on the truth we know ourselves to be.
This is a very interesting article to read indeed. It really shows how closely connected one’s physical conditions (or symptoms) are with one’s “feelings”. Thank you Deborah for writing this.
inspiring article Deborah! What a beautiful miracle and something totally profound at the same time. Its amazing to hear that you learned how to uncover those buried hurts that you had from childhood and deal with them in truth. And by accepting who you are, you didn’t need to worry about the glasses making you ‘ugly’ because that was just a belief that you held on to and was not true at all!
Bina – wow – I love your comment about seeing from your heart.
Wow I found this blog incredible – here is proof that what occurs in our body is not random, but totally related to how we feel, respond and deal with life,
Thank you Deborah for sharing your story about your sight. I have never had this subject of eyes opened up to me before. Like you Deborah, I too have had problems with my eyes, There is a lot to reflect and digest after reading your blog. I feel there is a strong connection with my eyes and seeing the world clearly. I have always felt the power of connection in my eyes and how uncomfortable this is at times. Your blog has helped me understand my situation with more insight.
A very interesting article Deborah. Age 7 I was hit in the left eye by a tennis ball that damaged the retina and I remember the humiliation of having to wear a patch over my eye when outdoors at school. As I grew older I just put the injury down to bad luck but when I started attending events with Universal Medicine I came to realize that even at that tender age I was choosing what to see and what not to see. Yesterday the arm of my glasses snapped off and rather than just say ‘bother’ I looked closely at how I have been living that may have been the underlying cause and of my having to look at things differently.
“Turning a blind eye to truth….’ Awesome title for an awesome article. Just like you Deborah, Universal Medicine has definitely led me to ‘consider my life and my choices and to open my eyes to the possibility that there was more to life than meets the eye’.
Thank you, Deborah. Your blog has inspired me to look into how quickly my eyesight started deteriorating. I always had very, very good eyesight, and about 5 years ago, I started to notice it was no longer the case. I thought I was getting old. Yes, there’s that, but I now wonder if this is also telling me that the way I have been looking at things, physiologically and energetically, no longer serves me in the way I live.
What a beautiful blog Deborah! It is remarkable all the things that happen when our relationship with seeing truth gets compromised and what happens when it is restored.
What an awesome blog, thank you Deborah. This is a great testament to the fact that if we are truly willing to commit to our own self healing we can achieve some amazing results. I love how you talk about your eyes letting you know when you are seeing the truth or if you are ‘turning a blind eye’, very inspirational.
What an eye-opening article Deborah! (also pun intended). I could so relate to it, I was so impatient to get to the end to see what miracle was coming next!
Your experience greatly mirrors my own. I started wearing glasses when I was 18, at the time it was the fashion to wear BIG glasses, even better to hide behind. And hide behind them I did. I remember a friend laughing out loud when I took them off, that hurt and didn’t do much for my self esteem. I tried contact lenses too for a while, but they hurt my eyes so I stopped. I also can relate to what you say about blending in with others, losing yourself. I did this for along time too, even to the extent of hiding in a marriage for nearly 30 years.
Along came divorce and approaching 50 and I decided I didn’t want to hide anymore, I wanted to “find” myself. I had laser surgery and went glasses free! At last I could be myself, or so I thought. I started to dress differently, changed my hair, started to wear make-up, perfume. Of course, I was also hooked into all the “spiritual” stuff at the time, and I realise now that I was changing my appearance on the outside for all the wrong reasons, i.e. to attract a man, make people love me, or even like me …..
Then, along came Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I realised it was something I had been looking for all along, the truth of who I am. I realised that what I was looking for on the outside was inside me all along. Doh.
Then began a new relationship with my eyes. I had found it difficult to make eye contact with people, and I love it when you say that you looked away when people made eye contact and blinked a lot, so true, I found myself doing this too! Thanks to the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, I love looking into peoples eyes, I even look into my own in the mirror in appreciation of me.
I also found that my eye sight seemed to deteriorate when I wasn’t looking at, or dealing with something in my life. I had them checked once because I thought I needed new glasses to be told that my prescription hadn’t changed. And some days my vision appears clearer and my eyes sparkle because I feel joy-full on the inside – so there IS definitely more to life than meets the eye! And I’m not going to roll over and accept that “it’s all part of the ageing process”. When I go to work tomorrow I’m not going to shrink behind my glasses when someone talks to me, you have inspired to be the real and whole me. Thank you for sharing.
