Healthy Eyes for your LIFE

A Man of Clear Vision

There are not too many people who really get me at a deep and authentic level. One such person is Roberto Kaplan. (You can check out his other website at www.beyond2020vision.com.)

This is a testimonial I wrote after spending some time with him last summer: “Roberto Kaplan, you have the ability to perceive me through to the depth of my soul, my deepest, truest authentic self. You combine your intuition (insights), wisdom, and perceptivity as you sit with me or photograph me. In your presence, I feel acknowledged for who I am, though at times with my vulnerability exposed. However, it is a rare gift to be truly seen and understood by another and I appreciate your talent that is a true gift for all.” This is still true upon my visit with him this year.

I originally met Roberto Kaplan in 1996 when I originally pursued the possibility of clearer vision, i.e., perfect eyesight. (If I had continued at that time, I believe I would have perfect vision today!)

In my opinion, he is a visionary, best symbolized by all the eagles he saw – on a daily basis – whilst his stay on the Sunshine Coast, at least while I was there. He is also very intuitive and insightful, and perceptive. (Notice how they seem to all be vision-related words. ; ) )

With focus (pardon the pun that just came out), determination, and clarity of his work and life’s purpose, he is present enough to know what is required of him to fulfill his daily and weekly passions and ambitions

Spurred on by his inspiration, he is undaunted by external factors. This includes myself (and all my defense mechanisms what he termed ‘destructive patterning') during my recent visit. (Later, I would challenge both of us to ‘pattern interruptions' or ‘pattern interrupts' for short – my word and invention – in dispelling the negativity of destructive patterns.)

What I most appreciate about Roberto, other than everything I’ve stated already, above, is that he was extremely patient and supportive in helping me to transition from fear into love. He helped to open my heart up, unbeknownst to me at first. It was a combination of the natural outdoors, and his 'work' that included feedback concerning my way of seeing and coping with the world.

It actually wasn’t until after spending some time with him on the Sunshine Coast that I came to discover that my heart was in a state of openness, of love and gratitude. It had been awhile! My heart was also in a state of ‘positivism’ (my word) or optimism. Essentially I was starting to re-experience the feelings of belief, trust, faith, and attraction, the latter as in the law of attraction.

What I came to realize is that I needed to follow, rather live my passions: writing, dancing, even ‘speaking’ comes to me now, being in nature, and the like.

For this, I have to say thank you. Thank you Roberto for the invitation to visit and spend time with you in Roberts Creek, for seeing me as I am, and facilitating my process. Well, it wasn’t always easy, but nevertheless I am grateful. Truly.

Comment by elly stornebrink on August 25, 2011 at 16:36: I would enjoy meeting you too. Seems we have some things in common. And I think it's great you're reaching out and sharing your experiences. That's really all you can do. All the best. Take care.

Comment by Elaine Powers on August 25, 2011 at 16:32: I

Letwould enjoy meeting with you and hopefully soon at one of Roberto's retreats. I've just recently started reaching our to others and sharing my experiences. I've guarded my feelings for many years because when I tried to share what I knew, even at a young age, I was rejected. Even my mother would say, "what do you know you're just a kid." I was between 8-10 at the time I remember her ridiculing me.

Lets stay in touch.

Comment by elly stornebrink on August 24, 2011 at 22:49: Thank you so much for sharing Elaine. I really appreciate your heart-felt comments. Seems like you've done a lot of work and research so commend yourself for that. I too still have healing to do and have not attended any of Roberto's retreats either, though wanted to like you. (I hope we both get the chance some day and soon, perhaps even together!). I also realize that my vision has been worsening a bit the past few months because of the nature of my work (both professionally and personally), and I do not want to wear glasses anymore because of what I have come to know. So because of all this I can understand what you are saying and I really feel for you a lot. I truly hope that you are able to heal your issues in the way that you wish to. Kind Regards, Elly

Comment by Elaine Powers on August 24, 2011 at 15:04: I agree with everything you say about Roberto. I met him when he was at the Optometry University here in Portland a few years (I don't remember exact dates, but I think in the late 80's) just before he wrote his first book. I bought Beyond 20/20 Vision and read it immediately and I practiced the eye exercises from that book for a few years and then quit. I didn't fully understand about the underlying factors associated with decreased eye clarity at the time. I was on his mailing list when he first moved to Canada, but I was never able to attend any of the events in those notifications. As his other books appeared, I bought them with the intention of reading them and so far I've only read 2 1/2 of them. In the past year my eye's clarity has diminished and it's harder to read. I started visiting his website and began to understand how much over the years he became an Alternative Practitioner and this encouraged me to connect with him again. I learned about alternative medicine and psychosomatic causes of inbalance in the body in the 90.s and started changing my belief system towards medicine and did a lot of clearing from the emotional pain of my life experiences and thought I had gotten to the bottom of it and quit the clearing out when the cleansing got to the throat area. It's just recently that I realized some more clearing is needed and that's what I've been doing as I understand more and more of Roberto's knowledge regarding underling causes that can enhance eye clarity by changing our perceptions.

When I found out about the retreat this summer I wanted to attend so badly because I knew that he could help me more effectively in person just as he did with you. Unfortunately life has thrown me a curve in the last couple of years so I didn't have the funds to attend. I even prayed for a miracle but it didn't happen. However, I'm not giving up on the idea that Dr. Kaplan's method can improve my eyesight.

I thank him profoundly for coming back into my life and assisting in the healing of my eyes.
