Greetings from Russell's Remnant:

Russell Whitesell told his students that the highest aspiration an atom can have in a man is to become an atom in the eye of that human being. D. K. pointed out - "Atoms pursue their evolution eventually, to the eyes of animals and then man. TCF 1097

Our Aryan times will see an increase in diseases of the brain and eye difficulties. EH 201

The mystery of the eye and its relationship to light is very great. DN2 348

The optic nerve is a symbol of the antahkarana. The entire structure of the eye ball is one of the most beautiful symbols of the threefold deity and the threefold man. EH 572

An impasse for aspirants occurs when the light in them remains undirected and the power remains unused and misapplied. Much of the physical blindness and poor sight (unless by accident) is due to the unrecognized and unused light of the head producing an effect upon the optic nerve. The light of the soul (localized in the pineal gland) works through the right eye (the organ of buddhi) while the light of the personality (localized in the pituitary body) functions through the left eye. EP2 610+

In the average human being the right eye transmits the energy of the astral body, and the left eye directs the energy of the lower mind. EH 571

The right eye is the distributing agent for the energy of love, animated with will. It is called "the eye of buddhi." The left eye distributes the mental energy of the personality. Right - spiritual; left - mental. DN2 290

The eyes and the soul are closely related. The right eye represents the soul (buddhi), and the left eye represents the personality (lower concrete mind). EH 336+

Send out the dedicated energy of your personality into the sphere of your chosen work through the left eye and the potent energy of your soul through the right eye. This will prove potent. DN2 590+

Energy follows thought and the eye directs that energy. DN2 309

The greatest physical gift is that of sight. RAI 297

The following book was found to be very interesting by members of the Tuesday Night Group. We realize that service, purification and meditation are important methods of increasing your light. One purification/improvement method might be that of assisting your eyes to function better. This book may assist us in becoming better channels, and its methods may assist us in distributing more effective energy through our eyes. If as D.K. states that our greatest physical gift is sight, let us work to improve our gift.

Improve Your Vision Without Glasses or Contact Lens from The American Vision Institute by: Dr. Steven M. Beresford, Dr. David W. Muris, Dr. Merrill J. Allen, Dr. Fransis A. Young. ( All four are highly credentialed eye doctors.)

Pretending that the traditional use of "corrective" lenses is safe and effective is no longer acceptable. p. 7

The most important purpose of the AVI Program is to help you achieve a significant improvement in your vision within one month. Your eyes are much more important than your teeth and hair. Your eyes are priceless, and you should develop the habit of exercising them on a daily basis so that they become strong and healthy. p. 8+

"Corrective" lens, also known as "compensatory" lenses, don't actually correct the underlining visual problem but only modify the light before it enters the eye. p. 15

Vision depends on past experiences, current emotions, expectations, stress, nutrition, state of health, posture, bodily activities, and information received from the other senses. p. 17+

Vision is learned. Children raised in bright, colorful homes with lots of different stimuli usually have better visual systems than children raised in dark, dingy squalor. Many people who work under fluorescent lights or spend long hours at computers develop visual problems. p. 21

Each person has a different way of seeing, known as visual style. You see the world in your own unique way. p. 21

Like other learned skills, vision can be improved by practice. The amount of improvement can be substantial. No matter how bad a person's eyesight, vision therapy can improve it. Vision systems respond to therapy. Older people often get better results than younger people. Nature does not automatically produce efficient visual systems. Vision therapy results in faster reading, fewer errors, better comprehension, the intellect may blossom - and in some cases the person's IO increased fifteen points. This is because the brain is no longer burdened by an inefficient visual system. p. 22+

A standard eye examination by a traditional eye doctor can not detect developmental visual problems. p. 24

Traditional eye care theory says that visual problems are the result of genetic defects therefore can't be prevented or cured. Evidence to the contrary is overwhelming, but the genetic theory of poor vision is still taught at most optometric colleges and medical schools. Almost everyone is born with normal healthy eyes and less that 2% of children have deformed eyeballs. As a result of Dr. Francis Young's 1968 study - it is now known that most common visual problems are not inherited but are caused by environmental factors. p. 26+

If you use traditional eye care, you often need stronger lenses; whereas if you use vision therapy, you will need weaker lenses. p. 28

Why is a bankrupt theory still taught in medical schools? Prescribing an endless supply of "corrective" lenses guarantees a lucrative repeat business as you come back for stronger prescriptions. p. 29

Bad posture can throw the extraocular muscles out of balance, often causing astigmatism. Patients who suffer whiplash injuries can develop astigmatism within a few hours. In most cases, however, astigmatism is simply caused by a bad posture with the head habitually tilted to one side. p. 30+

In most cases, there's nothing basically wrong with the "lazy" eye. p. 35

In major cases where the visual system is severely out of balance, the brain hasn't learned how to coordinate the eyes, which point in different directions. This condition is called strabismus. p. 36

Just because parents and children speak the same language doesn't mean that language is inherited. It results from being exposed to the same culture. Likewise, most visual problems are the result of environmental influences. p. 37

Really effective eye care means spending a few minutes every day exercising your eyes, just like you spend a few minutes every day cleaning your teeth and brushing your hair. Like most other parts of the body, the performance of the eyes can be improved by exercise. p. 40+

If you do the AVI Program exactly as directed and don't take shortcuts, you should see significant results within a month. p. 42+

The majority of people with poor eyesight have bad visual habits. Cultivate new visual habits. Don't complain you don't have enough time. The time spent at traffic lights provides most people with the best opportunity for everyday practice. As the therapy takes effect, positive changes will occur in the shape and structure of your eyes. p. 43+

Wean yourself from corrective lenses. Many eye doctors now believe that glasses and contact lenses can damage the eyes. Wear them as little as possible. Use them as tools where you must have clear vision. Wean yourself from your "eyecrutches" and learn to see for yourself. p. 57

Editor's Note: AVI presents seven new visual habits to practice each day and sixteen booster techniques to use for the first few months. Most can be done in the car or during television commercials. Their 127 page book costs $10.00 ($8.00 from Internet's Amazon Book Store). Improving your eyesight might give your insight a better channel for expression. Help your soul - improve your eyesight.
