Seeing With The Minds Eye

This book opens the mind's eye to the inner world - whether as memories, fantasies, dreams, or visions. Over 100 illustrations.

We live in a world of shadows and illusions, and of lies and deception. Finding our way through this stifling darkness requires that we learn how to recognize fraudulent distortion in all its forms. Shunning any and every preconceived notion that has been planted, and giving ourselves the ability to truly understand our own truth. This is what we call MIND'S EYE VISION, which is the ability to see with the mind and not only the eyes. And is something that is critical to our wellbeing for while the eyes sees mostly illusions, an awaken mind has the ability to see through all deception. This book has been written with one sole purpose, which is to remove the veil has placed over our eyes, and to break the chains that have been used to shackle our minds. It is a very short book consisting of only three chapters, but the words that lie within are sharper than the blade of a razor. Each chapter is separated into what the author conveniently call keys, because they are the keys to conquests for anyone who manages to attain mastery of them, and must thus be carefully articulated for they will only serve to sharpen the mind.One has to tread very carefully for knowledge of this caliber has the ability to blow minds to oblivion, and is ultimately dependent on the individual's level of enlightenment, something that negates the effect of the shock and softens the blow of what is revealed.As individuals we must learn how to comprehend the nature of the world we live in, to develop a heighten sense of things, and to see people and organizations for what they really are and not what they present themselves as. Accomplishing this will demand self discipline, and a conviction that will strengthen our resolve by ensuring that we deduce the truth behind our own history. A history that must be extrapolated from the wisdom that is attained through evidence, and one that will allow us TO KNOW THY ORIGINS, TO KNOW THY SELF, and TO KNOW THY ENEMY.

Ian Robertson has always been fascinated by how the mind makes images, for that awesome power directly and deeply affects our lives. All of us "visualize" the world differently, and how we do so dictates the way we feel, remember, and think--and therefore our health, memory, and creativity. In this lively, accessible and fascinating book, Robertson explains that most of us employ language as a basis for visualization. In effect, we think in words more than in images. The result is an imbalance between the logical and the intuitive, between imagery-based thought and language-based thought. Opening the Mind's Eye is both an enlightening and stimulating explanation of how we "see," and a compelling argument for extending the mind's powers to improve the quality of our lives. Like Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, it combines insight and application.

In The Mind’s Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world. There is Lilian, a concert pianist who becomes unable to read music and is eventually unable even to recognize everyday objects, and Sue, a neurobiologist who has never seen in three dimensions, until she suddenly acquires stereoscopic vision in her fifties. There is Pat, who reinvents herself as a loving grandmother and active member of her community, despite the fact that she has aphasia and cannot utter a sentence, and Howard, a prolific novelist who must find a way to continue his life as a writer even after a stroke destroys his ability to read. And there is Dr. Sacks himself, who tells the story of his own eye cancer and the bizarre and disconcerting effects of losing vision to one side. Sacks explores some very strange paradoxes—people who can see perfectly well but cannot recognize their own children, and blind people who become hyper-visual or who navigate by “tongue vision.” He also considers more fundamental questions: How do we see? How do we think? How important is internal imagery—or vision, for that matter? Why is it that, although writing is only five thousand years old, humans have a universal, seemingly innate, potential for reading? The Mind’s Eye is a testament to the complexity of vision and the brain and to the power of creativity and adaptation. And it provides a whole new perspective on the power of language and communication, as we try to imagine what it is to see with another person’s eyes, or another person’s mind.

These Autobiographical Illustrations began as a hedge against loss. We live in a fire zone in the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California. Every Fall when the dry Santana winds blow there is high danger that a fierce fire storm will blow through, incinerating everything in its path. I know people who have experienced a fire and lost everything. They have rebuilt, sometimes better than before, and have moved on. But they have lost all those precious objects that we place so much value on. The objects may have no monetary value, yet they are invaluable as personal mementos of the important relationships and events which they represent. I have such objects, saved over the years in odd corners and shelves. When I see these objects I see much more. My mind's eye holds images of events, places and people associated with these objects. They are links to my past. They help me know who I am, how I got here, and what I should be doing now. Thinking of this and the yearly fire danger that could take them all away in five minutes, I realized that it is the memories they hold that are important to me. I decided to focus on these objects, draw them in detail, imbed them in my memory, and then surround them with the images I associate with them. In this way I could place them more firmly in my heart and mind...and also in a very portable portfolio which I could hopefully grab as I escaped the oncoming blaze.

“Barney Tomasich’s devotional book With Eyes to See is definitely a unique book! Having read the whole book through, I found the mind-pictures, which any believer can be open to see, unique, and their “interpretation” and relevant scripture useful as “a thought for the day.” Barney is a good brother and he practices what he believes and has written in this devotional. As a devotional, this book is strongly recommended. There are many “seed-thoughts” therein. Read, ponder, and refer to it and be blessed and challenged!” Kevin J. Conner, Former Senior Minister of Waverley Christian Fellowship (now CityLife Church) in Australia and respected author of nearly sixty Christian books

The book name "The Mind's Eye" is evocative and fitting for a collection of fantasy stories because it refers to the power of the imagination and the ability to see beyond the physical world. The phrase "mind's eye" is often used to describe the ability to visualize or picture something in one's imagination, even if it is not present in reality. This is a key aspect of fantasy stories, as they often involve characters and worlds that are not found in the real world. By using this phrase in the title, the book hints at the fantastical and imaginative nature of the stories within and promises to take readers on a journey beyond the everyday world and into the realm of the imagination.
