Seeing the Long Arc through Reciprocal Vision

This demonstration of Reciprocal Vision puts the power of positive father energies in play. It also shows how eidetic concentration can bring us into a state of bodymind where we experience time and our senses of integrity, relatedness and promise more fluently.
Janet begins by sharing the most recent of the positive images of her father that have been helping her outgrow difficulties resulting from her parents' divorce when she was eleven, and having been taken a long distance from him. She sees her young self, Jannie, making a long straight throw with a baseball, and then Daddy joining in, engaging them in a graceful game of long throwing catch. She feels this putting her back in touch with her father's essence, his strengthening love for her, and her own capacity for joy and outgrowth.
In his Reciprocal Vision, Jerry sees an image of his boyhood self playing catch with his long-departed father. Seeing Dad's smile and playful spirit, and feeling the physicality of the throw in his own muscles, the image becomes something much more than a static memory. As his eye follows the long arc of the ball's path, a gulf of over three decades is easily spanned, and the vitality of the father-son connection comes to life. Jerry then recalls a passing comment his father made about his son's destiny that still remains poignant and fresh.
In a second round of Reciprocal Vision, Janet shares one of the images that is most dear and empowering to her. She sees four-year-old Jannie going out to visit Daddy, who is digging out in the desert. Seeing her coming, he stands still, as they enjoy the welcoming beaming smiles uniting them.
Then Jerry sees himself playing paddle ball with his young daughter, and they sustain a very long volley. As the ball passes back and forth between them hundreds of times, they enjoy a strong and joyful connection without words or eye contact.
Here we see how seeing events within a long arc can give life a mythic significance, not bounded and limited by our conventional sense of time. Things that didn't seem to make sense can be appreciated for their true meaning or beauty years later.
In this realm we can see ourselves, or others, through new eyes, or even connect with the essence of a departed loved one. And we can viscerally experience forgotten qualities that move us and live on in us.
Dr. Akhter Ahsen, who discovered eidetic images in the nineteen fifties, and has given us direct, practical, reliable access to their gifts and powers, understood how deeply our early experiences of our parents and close caregivers shape the rest of our lives. His understanding lets people of all sorts and ages see and sense for themselves the extent to which these images function as both the energy fields and the lenses through which we see the world. The more we practice eidetic imaging the more we realize that the images shape and color our character and sense of identity, as well as our attitudes towards and interactions with others.
As we practice eidetic imaging we realize we can release self-images we've been overlooking which reveal our natural ability to outgrow instead of replay negative impressions that have gotten stuck on repeat in ordinary, memory based consciousness. These newfound self-images free us from fixed, negative, painful senses of ourselves that we may have been in the grip of for many years, while harboring low self-esteem. The more we surface new self-images revealing previously obscured senses of prowess and promise, the more we find ourselves alive with vitality, insight, compassion, wisdom, courage and foresight.
