I would say mild myopia, -2.25 in one eye and -2 in the other, with astigmatism in one eye, high pressure in both. Also had no depth perception, was mainly only using my left eye, and a limited field of view. Extremely sensitive to intense light, as well as sensitive to flickering (that's what happens when the center of your viewpoint is not the area that falls on the fovea). Naturally this causes a desaturation of colors as well.
The hard part wasn't getting everything to work normally, basically taking all muscles through their full range of motion and restablishing their default resting point. The hard part was changing the way i look at the world. All these problems were just symptoms of the way i chose to bring 'reality' into focus. If one persists in a limited range of viewing the world the muscles will 'shorten' to accommodate only that view, because they never go outside that range. It's funny because there are so many sayings that if taken literally actually help your eyesight. Like 'broaden your horizon' or 'see the bigger picture' or 'the devil is in the details'.
except that hard wiring can change. In fact there is no such thing as 'hard wiring'. A better term would be default wiring. Our minds and bodies run on autopilot until we take over the controls. Unfortunately, we aren't taught how to. Mainly because of the belief that things can't change.
I remember thinking my dad was whacked for yelling at me to take off my glasses. Everything i learned in school told me that i needed those glasses to see. I feel like an idiot now 20 years later after discovering that i just have to learn how my eyes work. Now i see better than ever, in 3d! It's not the easiest thing learning how to flatten your lens, or controlling intestinal movement, or changing your 'fight or flight' responses. However, it's all possible.
Please don't get into the scientific proof, it's out there. Sure, a lot of proof is anecdotal, but that's because most scientists just dismiss these things without bothering to investigate. In our day and age, that is the single biggest problem in science. haha, that and bad research methodology!!! I don't know how they can call some of that medical stuff research and still keep a straight face!! I believe in science, but science done properly.
BTW, there's nothing 'natural' about the selection that's going on in our societies.
It's nice to see you thinking. There's a big problem when you try and use western thinking to explain the subjective experience of reality. It doesn't quite work.
Just because there is a default setup of the human system does not mean it has to stay that way. Western civ is still in the 'animal' stage. They have no clue how the body works, the emotions, or the mind. I'm not talking action potentials, those are useless when in subjective reality. The population at large has no clue how to control their body (yoga asanas are positions any normally functioning body can assume, most people can not even do the basics). No clue how their minds work, so that they associate with their thoughts as self, and yet it's just the mind performing it's default function gathering and analyzing data. And are also slaves to their emotions, whether dragging them out or constantly fighting them back.
Again, you might base all your decisions on emotions. Some of us do not. In fact, some people don't allow their emotions into any of their decisions, that's where you get into 'mental' disorders.
You might want to look into learning how to use your eyes properly as well.
I used to think about saving up for laser, but now i can see without glasses. and perfectly too, so much better than when i used to wear contacts/glasses.
ah, like coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and sugar, and the meaningless jobs people hold to maintain the machine that produces more coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and sugar. Oh, did i forget tv?
huh? The xtians have a pretty good picture of heaven. Jesus will make a heaven on earth. So it'll basically look exactly like it does now, but probably with more mature humans.
um, yes, scientific study ==faith. Any good scientist knows that. We have faith that the results will stick to the theory. A good scientist knows that science can certainly make good predications about reality, but it can never touch truth.
To find the definition of sin you have to look where it's defined. Pretty easy eh?
Sin in the catholic church is evil. Sin in the bible and it's translation is something which COULD POTENTIONALY have a bad effect.
Same with being 'unclean', situations where it's possible to transmit diseases.
sigh, these discussions would make a hell of lot more sense if everybody just read the bible. It never ceases to amaze me how people can dismiss something without knowing what it's about, or argue against it with no direct knowledge of what they're arguing against!
It's all rather simple. I just had to relax tense muscles and the covering fascia. Tense muscles i never knew i had, they were everywhere. It's definitely wierd learning how to contract your iris.
I started it through ashtanga yoga, but ultimately if you're tight, meditation might be a better method.
If you're a big softy, then ashtanga yoga is the way to go. Yoga asanas are postures that a normal relaxed human body can enter into with little effort. All you have to do is learn how to move your body and relax your muscles at will.
You just stand feet together, eyes closed, and concentrate on relaxing one muscle group like a bicep. Even if it feels relaxed you lengthen through the outside wrist. It'll relax and then you'll most likely be thrown off balance, another muscle will tighten and you relax that one, and so on, and on, till there aren't any more muscles to relax and since there aren't any muscles out of balance all you feel is your center.
If you can do that, you don't need knee surgery.
haha, that looks like so much drivel, but it's true. It still kills me how at one point i was making fun of it all until i decided to try it.
The feeling of balance is amazing. I keep doing handstands because i can't get over the feeling of going from a squat position with heels on the ground to handstand in one motion, and all it feels like is like i'm taking a deep breath!
You do know that there are other ways to become happy then taking a pill right? That's the whole problem, people don't remember how to be happy. relaxation ==happiness.
Viagra, what a joke. It's called loosening your pelvic floor muscles and learning to move your hip muscles.
You could probably get rid of most pills by just teaching people to relax, the body functions normally when it is relaxed and doesn't when it's not. How hard is that to understand?
Unfortunately, tension and stress is the name of the game in the great west rat race.
um, wash your hands before you go to the bathroom. Believe, your hands are going to be the dirtiest thing on your body, they touch everything. If you touch your keyboard all day, i'd be more worried about that then touching your genitals.
Oh, and just buy organic fruits, much easier, sweeter and tastier.

ah, it's the extremely radioactive potassium that's the problem.
Americans are just way to attached to their vices.
Lets all remember that we must enslave ourselves!
And that's exactly what they want you to believe.

Selfish people are selfish regardless of the acts they commit. The end does not justify the means.
OH, so you and timmy have entangled???
Most of us are just big babies. :)
arbitrarily? It's called consciousness. Humans have it, that's why we're observers, and gods as well since we CAN change the reality that we observe.
Must give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside eh?
ah, like coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and sugar, and the meaningless jobs people hold to maintain the machine that produces more coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and sugar. Oh, did i forget tv?
Don't forget to only trust the ones you make!
huh? The xtians have a pretty good picture of heaven. Jesus will make a heaven on earth. So it'll basically look exactly like it does now, but probably with more mature humans.

Of course, i was poor when i was a kid and we were technically stealing from the farmer, but boy those carrots were good. :)

Soap is usually detergent, not soap from saponification.
