So here I am traveling, sailing throughl bus terminals and airports with ease in distant cities in the middle of Brazil. I am far from the comfort of the small town, Abadiânia that I had made my temporary residence just 2 months ago. Why am I telling you this?
Well, when I came to Abadiânia
less than 60 days ago I was wearing glasses with coke-bottle thick lenses. I think it was the mid 70's when I was no longer able to read any of the eye chart (20/200) and my prescription had progressively gotten worse since then. Now decades later I was more that legally blind in both eyes and my numbers were equivalentto somewhere near or greater than 20/700. And yet, here I am traveling
alone easily navigating with no glasses in a country where I do not speak the language to places I have never visited.
How am I able to do this, you ask? Because I can see and read, almost every sign I gaze upon. Impossible?

Well, not if you believe. Believe
in what? That is a question that you have to ask yourself. Was it coming
to visit John of God that made this occur? I did ask for an increase in
consciousness and awareness and I certainly have been introduced to the right people that
have helped faciliate that, for sure. And at the Casa, the entities started
mucking with my eyesight, prompting me to remove my heavy frames. Did removing my
glasses increase my awareness, or did my awareness allow me to remove my
glasses?
All I can say with certainly is that I am now able
to see better now than I have in decades, on all fronts. It's amazing what
changing one small thing can do for us. It opens up a whole new world of
possibilities.
The best compliment that I think
I've received on the sight front was from new friend Donna. We were out one afternoon and she
was pointing far into the distance to something which at this point (but not for
long) is out of my visional reach. When I explained my recent removal of my eye
glasses, she smiled and told me, "I
would have never thought that you wore glasses. You don't even squint." For the people closest to
me, I’m sure that you have your mouth open since I used to be a habitual
squinter.
Only time will tell about the
degree of my correction. I look forward to my return to the states where I will
find myself in front of an optometrist’s machine as I get a new, lower
prescription strength glasses.
Wishing you a day filled with Love,
