Later I discovered that only twenty-five percent of the light that enters the eye is used for the process of vision.  Seventy-five percent is actually energizing all of the body’s life sustaining functions.  In fact, all of the regulatory functions of the body are continually being stimulated and regulated by light energy entering by way of the eyes. 

What I noticed that was very, very interesting Michael, is that the aura would diminish dramatically and frequently disappeared the moment they started thinking.  So there was such a difference between the answers that they knew by heart, which came from nothingness, versus the ones they had to think about. That gave me incredible insight into the process of learning, which we’ll speak about more later, what is thinking and how does that relate to learning?  How does thinking interfere with the effortlessness of learning in and of itself? 

I started noticing when my own vision changed, that all of the sudden everything changed.  I started seeing things I never knew existed before and when I saw this continual change in relationship with the environment, I realized that we responded to light just as plants did. I realized that we were living photo cells that were continually relating to the lighted environment.

I mentioned this to a friend and he said to me, “You mean you don’t work with light?” He was an Optometrist. I said no.  He said “There’s a group within the field that’s been working with light since the 20’s and 30’s.” He told me about a meeting. I went to this annual convention attended by six people. It was a dying part of our profession, a science that was developed by Dr. Harry Reilly Spitler in the 20’s and 30’s, all the way through the 50’s and early 60’s was talking about the fact that you could really affect a person’s life by the different frequencies or colors of light that entered their eyes. 

And all of a sudden I realized that the eyes were not strictly for the process of seeing.  Later I discovered that only twenty-five percent of the light that enters the eye is used for the process of vision.  Seventy-five percent is actually energizing all of the body’s life sustaining functions.  In fact, all of the regulatory functions of the body are continually being stimulated and regulated by light energy entering by way of the eyes.  And the reason they do that is so that the internal mechanisms that regulate the inner world can synchronize themselves with whatever mechanisms are regulating the outer world so that the inner and outer world stay in some degree of balance.
