Visual perception

These are the manafil, this is what gets to your heart.

When we see something, when we hear something, when we touch something, when we make an effort and go towards something, when we, our stomach, our private parts, these six parts, سَمْعَ, بَصَر, بَطَن, فَرَج, that these places, فَرْج, these places, these parts of the body, the hands, the legs, the stomach, the privates, the hearing, the seeing, these are the gates to the heart, so guard these gates.

On يوم القيامة, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will ask the gates that were you guarded or not.

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُورًا On Yawmul Qiyamah, everything will be asked, everyone will be asked, every limb will be asked that were you guarded or were you not guarded? How much access was given to the heart through you? For filth.

Filthy things they were able to pass through you towards the heart.

Were you protected or were you not protected? All of these limbs will be asked on Yawmul Qiyamah.

My Jesus Mercy.

In honor of Our Lord's Sense of Sight, Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

Not everybody with migraine has aura.

but aura can be visual.

Visual is the most common type of aura, and that can be seeing lights, flashing lights, kaleidoscope of colors, colorful floating things, sparkles, things like that.

But you can also have a sensory aura, so numbness and tingling, or even smells like an olfactory aura, and then changes in speech or trouble speaking in general prior to the onset of the pain.

The aura typically lasts minutes to a an hour or so and then the headache will come the pain part of the headache or the pain part of the migraine will come within 24 hours usually a few hours or an hour after some people it comes all together at the same time and then you get to the pain portion of it and that will be the quality of your migraine whatever that is for you and then after the pain improves you go into the post-drome phase and that a lot of times people call that the migraine hangover so you feel tired you feel Just not quite yourself.

They are the best of them tied up within those narrow bounds, and have not, as I think, the faculty to enlarge them by any kind of abstraction.

From Essay on Human Understanding, Part two, Chapter eleven, Sections ten and eleven.

I readily agree with this learned author that the faculties of brutes can by no means attain to abstraction.

But then if this be made the distinguishing property of that sort of animals, I fear a great many of those that pass for men must be reckoned into their number.

Today, I'm talking with Dr. Bryce Applebaum, a neuro-optometrist who specializes in vision performance and helping people improve how their brain and eyes work together.

We're talking about why your eyesight can technically be fine with your visual system, but overall, your brain processing is struggling.

The connection between vision and brain fatigue, why screens can be so taxing, and what we can actually do to protect and strengthen our vision as we age.

especially in an age where we are constantly on devices.

At a minimum, you can kick the can down the road.

And I have patients who are in their 70s and 80s who don't wear reading glasses.

But just like they exercise their body every day, they exercise their visual system to keep and maintain the work that they've put in.

Yeah, because I would say that most, I would say by mid 40s, late 40s or early 50s, you know, people are, especially women, like they're trying to see their phone and they're having a hard time.

It's the touch of little tiny hairs in your inner ear.

Sight is touch.

It's the way the light touches receptors in your eye.

Taste is the way molecules from food touch your tongue.

No, from over the mountains, out of the country beyond there where, where men can see.

From Bogota where there are 100,000 people and the city stretches out of sight.

Sight? What strange words he uses, without meaning.

A- and feel the coarseness of his hair, like a llama's.

Ugh.
