THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT

THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS A CORRECT VISION HABIT, A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE EYES, BRAIN, VISUAL SYSTEM PRODUCED BY THE MOVEMENT "SHIFT" OF THE EYES.
THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS ALSO CALLED "THE SWING" BECAUSE STATIONARY OBJECTS APPEAR TO "SWING BY" IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY MOVE TO.

THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS DESCRIBED AS; WHEN THE EYES, HEAD (FACE) AND BODY MOVE LEFT, RIGHT, OR IN ANY DIRECTION, STATIONARY OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE;
+CLOSE OBJECTS WILL APPEAR TO MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES, HEAD AND BODY MOVE TO.
+DISTANT OBJECTS WILL APPEAR TO MOVE WITH THE EYES IN THE SAME DIRECTION THE EYES, HEAD AND BODY MOVE TO.
+ WHEN THE EYES, HEAD, BODY MOVE RIGHT >, CLOSE OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE LEFT <.
FAR OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE RIGHT > IN THE SAME DIRECTION WITH THE EYES AND BODY.
+ WHEN THE EYES, HEAD, BODY MOVE LEFT <, CLOSE OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE RIGHT >.
FAR OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE LEFT < IN THE SAME DIRECTION WITH THE EYES, HEAD, AND BODY.

+WHEN MOVING LEFT OR RIGHT, CLOSE AND FAR OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE AGAINST EACH OTHER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.    > <

THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT CAN BE SEEN WHEN RIDING IN A CAR AND LOOKING AT THE PASSING SCENERY.
+ NOTICE CLOSE OBJECTS PASS BY QUICKLY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT THE CAR (EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY) ARE MOVING TOWARD.
+ FAR OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE SLOWER AND IN THE SAME DIRECTION THE CAR (EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY) ARE MOVING TOWARD.
+ NOTICE HOW CLOSE AND FAR OBJECTS APPEAR TO MOVE AGAINST EACH OTHER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.
+OBJECTS AT THE MIDDLE DISTANCE ALSO APPEAR TO MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES, HEAD, BODY MOVE TO BUT MOVE SLOWER THAN CLOSE OBJECTS.
FAR OBJECTS ALSO APPEAR TO MOVE OPPOSITE BUT THE OPPOSITE MOVEMENT IS SO SLOW THAT THE FAR OBJECT APPEARS TO MOVE WITH THE EYES IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

EXAMPLE; NOTICE THAT A DISTANT MOUNTAIN APPEARS TO MOVE WITH THE CAR, (EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY), BUT IF YOU CONTINUE LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE MOUNTAIN, IN TIME, AS THE CAR MOVES FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MOUNTAIN HAS MOVED BY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND IS NOW BEHIND THE CAR.
THESE ILLUSIONS OF MOVEMENT ARE THE NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VISUAL SYSTEM AND INDICATES CLEAR EYESIGHT.
OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS NOT ALWAYS NOTICED BUT IT CAN ALWAYS BE SEEN BY THE NORMAL EYE WHEN THE PERSON BRINGS THEIR ATTENTION TO IT.
WHEN THE EYESIGHT IS VERY UNCLEAR THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS NOT ALWAYS SEEN.
PRACTICING SEEING THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT HELPS TO RETURN THE EYES, VISUAL SYSTEM TO NORMAL FUNCTION, RESTORES NORMAL EYE MOVEMENT "SHIFTING" AND CLEAR EYESIGHT.
WHEN THE EYESIGHT IS UNCLEAR OBJECTS MAY BE SO BLURRY THAT ALL OBJECTS IN THE VISUAL FIELD BLUR TOGETHER AND THE PERSON CANNOT DISTINGUISH ONE OBJECT FROM ANOTHER.
ACTIVATING THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT; PRACTICING SEEING "CLOSE OBJECTS MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES MOVE TO, FAR OBJECTS MOVE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND CLOSE AND FAR OBJECTS MOVE AGAINST EACH OTHER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS WHEN THE EYES, HEAD/FACE AND BODY MOVE" HELPS THE EYES SEE INDIVIDUAL OBJECTS.
THEN, IT IS EASY FOR THE PERSON TO USE CORRECT VISION HABITS; LOOK AT ONE OBJECT AT A TIME IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD (CENTRAL FIXATION) AND SHIFT FROM PART TO PART ON EACH INDIVIDUAL OBJECT.
THIS IMPROVES THE CLARITY OF EYESIGHT.

A EASY WAY TO SEE THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS TO DO THE ROCK AND LONG SWING.
EXAMPLE;

STAND IN FRONT OF A OPEN WINDOW WITH A VIEW OF A FAR (DISTANT) OBJECT.
HANG A PENCIL FROM A STRING IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW.
IN THE DIAGRAM ON THE RIGHT THE TREE IS THE FAR OBJECT,
THE PENCIL IS THE CLOSE OBJECT.
(THE WINDOW IS OPEN TO ALLOW HEALTHY FULL SPECTRUM SUNLIGHT TO ENTER THE EYES).

PRACTICE THE ROCK IN FRONT OF THE PENCIL.
ROCK SIDE TO SIDE, LEFT AND RIGHT.
DO NOT LOOK AT ANY OBJECTS.   DO NOT TRY TO SEE ANYTHING CLEAR.
JUST RELAX AND ROCK SIDE TO SIDE, AND LET THE EYES SWEEP ACROSS THE SCENERY.
NOTICE THAT THE PENCIL (CLOSE OBJECT) MOVES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THE EYES, HEAD/FACE, BODY MOVE TO;
+WHEN THE EYES, HEAD, BODY MOVE RIGHT >, THE PENCIL MOVES LEFT<.
+WHEN THE EYES, HEAD, BODY MOVE LEFT<, THE PENCIL MOVES RIGHT>.
(THE PENCIL, WINDOW AND ALL CLOSE OBJECTS AT THE SAME DISTANCE THE PENCIL, WINDOW ARE AT MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION).

NOTICE THAT THE MOVEMENT OF THE TREE (FAR OBJECT) APPEARS TO MOVE WITH THE EYES, HEAD, BODY IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

ROCK SIDE TO SIDE AND LET THE EYES SWEEP ACROSS THE CLOSE OBJECT; WINDOW, PENCIL.
THEN, ROCK SIDE TO SIDE AND LET THE EYES SWEEP ACROSS THE FAR OBJECT, TREE.
NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED OF MOVEMENT OF THE CLOSE AND FAR OBJECTS WHEN SWEEPING THE EYES ACROSS CLOSE AND FAR OBJECTS.
THESE FUNCTIONS OF THE VISUAL SYSTEM HELP THE BRAIN, EYES DETERMINE DISTANCE, DEPTH, DIMENSION, TIME, SPACE, SIZE, SHAPE, ECT... OF STATIONARY AND MOVING OBJECTS, CONDITIONS IN THE VISUAL FIELD/ENVIRONMENT AND KEEPS THE EYESIGHT CLEAR.
EXAMPLE; THESE ILLUSIONS HELP THE BRAIN DETERMINE THE SPEED OF A APPROACHING CAR ON THE ROAD AND THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO TRAVEL FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

PRACTICE THE LONG SWING IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW.   (CHAPTER__)
NOTICE THE OPPOSITE MOVEMENT OF CLOSE OBJECTS IS FASTER AND LONGER WHEN DOING THE LONG SWING.
PRACTICE THE ROCK AND LONG SWING OUTSIDE IN THE SUNLIGHT IN FRONT OF CLOSE AND FAR OBJECTS.
WHEN PRACTICING THE ROCK AND LONG SWING, A MAIN PURPOSE IS TO RELAX, REST THE EYES.
THE EYES RELAX WHEN IN MOVEMENT.
WHEN ROCKING, SWINGING SIDE TO SIDE, DON'T STOP AND TRY TO SEE OBJECTS CLEAR.
AVOID LOCKING THE EYES/VISUAL ATTENTION ON OBJECTS.
RELAX AND KEEP SWINGING LEFT AND RIGHT AT A COMFORTABLE, SLOW, FLOWING PACE AND LET THE SCENERY/CLOSE OBJECTS MOVE, PASS BY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
WHEN DONE CORRECT THE ROCK, LONG SWING BRING PERFECT RELAXATION TO MIND, BODY, EYES AND CLEAR EYESIGHT.

IF THE EYES, BODY FEEL OFF BALANCE WHEN DOING THE LONG SWING AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS IMPERFECT; DOES NOT OCCUR, OR THE OBJECTS MOVE RIGIDLY, STOPPING AND STARTING, THIS INDICATES THAT THE EYES ARE STARING, NOT MOVING FULLY, FREELY AND THERE MAY BE MUSCLE TENSION IN THE EYES, NECK, BODY.
THE NORMAL ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS FLOWING, CONTINUOUS, COMPLETE AND EASY.
KEEP PRACTICING, SLOW AND EASY, AND RELAX , SWING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE EYES PASSING ACROSS THE VISUAL FIELD, SEEING OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT, LETTING OBJECTS PASS BY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WITHOUT TRYING TO STOP AND SEE OBJECTS CLEAR.
RELAX, LOOSEN THE BODY, LET THE SHOULDERS DROP DOWN, BEND THE KNEES A LITTLE.

THE IMAGINARY NOSEFEATHER (CHAPTER --) CAN BE USED WHEN
ROCKING, SWINGING LEFT AND RIGHT.
SWEEP THE END OF THE FEATHER LEFT AND RIGHT WITH THE EYES ACROSS THE SCENERY IN THE VISUAL FIELD.
THE SOFT END OF THE FEATHER TOUCHES AND SWEEPS ACROSS THE OBJECTS.
THE END OF THE FEATHER MOVES WITH THE EYES, HEAD/FACE AND BODY AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
THE SOFT, SOOTHING MOVEMENT OF THE FEATHER INCREASES RELAXATION OF THE EYES, MIND, BODY AND HELPS TO KEEP THE EYES MOVING.

EYE MOVEMENT "SHIFTING" CAUSES THE APPEARANCE OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT.
SEE OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT WHEN SHIFTING ON A OBJECT.
EXAMPLE; SHIFT ON THE LETTER O.          O                        O
(SHIFT ON THE BLACK INK, NOT ON THE WHITE PAGE).
+WHEN SHIFTING FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE RIGHT > THE O APPEARS TO MOVE TO THE LEFT <.
+WHEN SHIFTING RIGHT SIDE TO LEFT < THE O APPEARS TO MOVE RIGHT >.
MOVING THE HEAD/FACE WITH THE EYES IMPROVES THE APPEARANCE OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT.
OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS RELAXING TO THE EYES.
IF THE EYESIGHT IS UNCLEAR AND THE EYE MUSCLES ARE TENSE, OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT MAY APPEAR RIGID, SPUTTERING, NOT APPEAR OR APPEAR TOO LARGE.
AS EYE MOVEMENT, CENTRAL FIXATION, RELAXATION AND THE CLARITY OF EYESIGHT IMPROVES THE APPEARANCE OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IMPROVES; IT IS SMOOTH, FLOWING, QUICK.
WHEN SHIFTING ON A SMALL LETTER, NORMAL OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT IS QUICK AND SHORT, NO LONGER THAN THE SIZE OF THE EYE MOVEMENT ACROSS THE LETTER FROM ONE PART TO ANOTHER PART, AND IS OFTEN SMALLER, SHORTER THAN THE LENGTH OF THE SHIFT FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER POINT.
CENTRAL FIXATION IMPROVES SHIFTING AND THE ILLUSION OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT; SHIFT FROM SMALL POINT TO SMALL POINT ON SMALL PARTS OF THE OBJECT AND SEE ONE SMALL POINT (VERY TINY PART) CLEAREST AT A TIME IN THE CENTER OF THE VISUAL FIELD.

SHIFT ON THE O IN ANY DIRECTION AND SEE THE O MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION; SHIFT LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, DIAGONALLY...

PRACTICE ON ANY LETTERS AND ON VERY SMALL FINE PRINT LETTERS;

   C         L        E       A       R                                C        L       E      A      R


WHEN THE EYES CAN SHIFT ON AND SEE OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT ON SMALL FINE PRINT LETTERS (EVEN SMALLER THAN THE LETTERS SHOWN HERE) THE EYESIGHT BECOMES VERY CLEAR, CLEARER THAN 20/20.

SHIFT, BLINK AND RELAX WHEN LOOKING AT A FINE PRINT LETTER.
AVOID STARING, SQUINTING, TRYING HARD TO SEE CLEAR.
JUST SHIFT AND THE LETTER WILL BECOME CLEAR.

SHIFT AND SEE OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT ON THE GREEN HOUSES IN CHAPTER --.
PRACTICE SHIFTING AND SEEING OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENT ON LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL, VERY SMALL OBJECTS AND PARTS OF OBJECTS AT CLOSE AND FAR DISTANCES.
