<snip>....My vision is not deteriorating but I believe that I'm still developing spiritually. Tony N-S.<snip>
That made me smile, because over the past 3 years or so, I was in real denial about needing glasses. I had been in the desert, then moved to the Pacific NW, and the lower light & higher humidity combined with age made things start to get a bit fuzzy in the vision department! The forests here are obviosly more lush than the desert, so rich and green (where it hasn't been clearcut) and I would see lots more etheric critters hiking here than I ever did before. Days when my "real" vision was worse, I would see more of them; and I was worried about getting glasses & ruining it all! Safety won out, I had to get specs to drive, but the "other" vision seems just fine, I still see my subtle friends everywhere in the garden & forest. I just think maybe I needed that time of letting the "real" vision fuzz out a bit, maybe it allowed my mind to let go & be more open to other ways of seeing; once I was more open, the subtle vision stayed even with the glasses on. I had a friend who used to photograph the etheric creatures, he would focus his camera out, so the rocks, trees, whatever, were out of focus, and take the picture. When they were developed, they would be full of life, it was amazing. I went out hiking with him once, and I would see something, and he would shoot it, and develop it, and it would be just exactly what I saw. No trick except the focus change, and the rocks would have rock people, undines in rivers, it was wild! So far, I only have one picture like that, I took it near my house, a big tree and some Devil's Club, a spiny plant that has a forest-defender type energy In the background is this character I can only describe as cranky-looking! Just his face, peeking around a tree. I still have to work on interacting with them more in my garden. In the forest, they lead me to great stuff; plants I'm looking for, hidden springs, mushroom patches, etc. But in the garden, I am still building a rapport I guess. I just try to be open & garden as spirit moves me, as it were, & see what happens. Strength & Wisdom, Micah
