Light and The Eyes

Anatomy of the Human Eye

The eyes are organs of light, the more natural, full-spectrum light you give your eyes, the more healthy your eyes and you will be. According to research scientist, sunlight has many surprising health benefits to humans.

Light entering the eyes is utilized by the body in two ways:
1. Light energy travels to the visual cortex, where a picture of the world is created,
2. Light energy travels to the hypothalamus, which sends messages to the pineal and pituitary glands. Together, these organs and glands regulate many functions of our minds and body.

Natural, full-spectrum light from the sun is essential to our health. Be outdoors in natural lighting at least one hour per day. Even indirect sunlight on cloudy days is beneficial. If you are over-sensitive to bright light, do closed-eyelid sunning to rebuild your light tolerance. If you have been indoors for a long time, and then go outside into the bright light, wait a few moments to adapt to the bright light. Sunning with closed eyelids, even for a few seconds, can help you adapt quickly to bright light. If the sunlight is still too bright, wear a hat, not sunglasses. Notice that most professional tennis players, and many other athletes do not wear sunglasses, even when looking into the bright sky. If you feel you must use sunglasses, wear ones that are 'neutral-gray' and with the least tint you can comfortably get by with. If possible, use maximum UV-transmitting sunglasses. Wear sunglasses only if you consider them necessary for certain situations. Worn for short periods of time, sunglasses are not harmful. Do not become addicted to sunglasses.

People who live in a location where there is bright light have naturally adapted to that light. For example, people who live in areas where there is a lot of snow do not need sunglasses on a regular basis -- they have adapted to the brightness of the snow. Due to the speed of modern transportation, people can travel quickly to a new location with very different light. For example, if you live in San Francisco and drive to the mountains to go skiing, suddenly there is bright glare from the snow, to which you are not accustomed. You may want to wear sunglasses for a short time. When returning to San Francisco, do not continue to wear the sunglasses as a habit.

When indoors, use the best full-spectrum lighting possible. Lights that provide continuous mid and near UV light are preferred. Natural vision students who have installed full-spectrum lights have been very happy with them. They really do make a difference to your health.

Glamour is a motivation for some people to wear glasses. Sometimes children, who do not need prescription glasses, want to wear glasses to look fashionable. This fashion will be at the cost of interfering with the visual system and health!

To control night glare for drivers, special eyeglasses, where only the left part of both lenses is tinted dark as in sunglasses, were invented and patented by a number of individuals to provide a useful control of oncoming cars' lights glare. During the day, direct glare from the sun and reflections off the road or off a car's engine hood may be controlled with the aid of sunglasses.

One of the greatest dangers in wearing sunglasses as a habit is that the individual can become addicted to darkness. By not allowing the eyes to experience normal sunlight, a person can become more sensitive to the bright outdoor light. One then becomes dependent upon the dark sunglasses as a necessary crutch. This scenario is quite similar to becoming more dependent upon prescription sunglasses or glasses -- the more you use them, the more you will need to use them.

Born Again

The Mystery of the Spirit Revealed To a Master in Israel
The Conversation with Nicodemus
Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews. He visited Jesus at night and said to him,"Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him."

To Be born again from water and The Spirit
Jesus said to him,"Truly, I say to you, unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Nicodemus said,"How can a grown man be born? Can he go back into his mother's womb and be born again?"

Jesus replied," I tell you most solemnly, unless a man is born through water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God: what is born of the flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised when I say: You must be born from above. The wind blows wherever it pleases; you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. That is how it is with all who are born of the Spirit."

"How can that be possible?" asked Nicodemus. "You, a teacher in Israel, and you do not know these things!" replied Jesus.

Jesus, only Son with a child's heart
"I tell you most solemnly, we speak only about what we know and witness only to what we have seen and yet you people reject our evidence. If you do not believe me when I speak about things in this world, how are you going to believe me when I speak to you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven; and the Son of Man who is in heaven; and the Son of Man must be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.

For God sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world, but so that through him the world might be saved. No one who believes in him will be condemned; but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already, because he has refused to believe in the name of God's only Son. On these grounds is sentence pronounced: that though the light has come into the world, men have shown they prefer darkness to the light because their deeds were evil. And indeed, everybody who does wrong hates the light and avoids it, for fear his actions should be exposed; but the man who lives by the truth comes out into the light, so that it may be plainly seen that what he does is done in God."

My Testimonial

This was my room in Boon Lay. Over here, I had heard 'voices', I had seen 'shadows' in my mother's room, and I had 'conversed' with Jesus. I painted the swans during the moonlight, hang on the wall, just above the cross (luminous cross). On the left is a small frame written "Jesus The Friend", and beside it, my baby photo. On the right side, they were all my collections and gifts. On the bottom of Mary was a Happy Teachers' Day gift from my niece.

Over the years, I was 'discouraged' by love. Born in a family who do not 'act like Christian', and with lots of problems in the family, and heard from families about 'catholics worshiping idols', I began to have second thoughts about Catholicism. Jehovah witness came to me as well. Aunty Mary, who was once a Catholic, removed her name from the church and baptised again as 'Jehovah witness'. I did not 'listen' to her.

I am very glad that today, I have found my truth, and found my true religion and the one true God again. I was reborn, really reborn, of water and spirit. Thank You Jesus. Thank You God.
