Optical illusions - Herman grid


The Hermann grid illusion is an optical illusion reported by Ludimar Hermann in 1870. The illusion is characterised by "ghostlike" grey blobs perceived at the intersections of a white (or light-colored) grid on a black background. The grey blobs disappear when looking directly at an intersection.

In with the New & Out with the Old

A haunting feeling knocks at the door,
if only to scare you and make you unsure.
In with the new & out with the old,
a meaningful story about to unfold.

A series of opposites at a moment in time,
a glimpse of reality as it starts to unwind.
Caught in the emotion of fear in your heart,
controlling the feelings from the end to the start.

Been there before and it certainly gets old,
a place we all frequent ...a story untold.
In toward the new and beyond your threshold,
fire turned to ashes, your life put on hold.

Learn how to touch the secret inside,
as you travel through time with no thoughts in your mind.
Examine those feelings from stress & hard times,
and find new directions in the back of your mind.

...Or to constantly repeat life with the same dues to pay,
is like waking each morning on that same Groundhog Day!
So remember the future ~ now there's an odd twist,
see through illusion ...just make one wish.

Feast on the intellect, accept not demand.
a striking resemblance to new lines in your hand.
It can't be so bad to accept change and grow,
karma's the lesson... you reap what you sow.

You move to new places, designed from inside,
and it all flows from visions that began in your mind.


Look in towards the mirror ...focus & behold,
see beyond illusion while removing the blindfold.

It's all in the Mind...

What ever happened to goals and the truth,
the things that you wanted & believed in your youth.
And what has become of innocent times,
the world can be puzzling if it starts to unwind.

Where did we go wrong to end up in this mess,
give up on performance and settle for less.
The answer should not be a surprise...
you made this yourself with the power of mind.

The future began as a beautiful dream,
turned into reality and is not what it seems.
You started a succession of powerful sources,
thoughts are like lightning & magical forces.

Your words are the structure to what is achieved,
you make your own future, it's part of the scheme.
But negative thinking on a regular basis...
believe me you're playing in dangerous places.

Set into motion only positive thoughts,
fly high and don't give up, all those goals that you sought.

Think into being is the gift of this life.
it's so simple, you could miss it ~ and pay dues all your life!

The Mystery Of Life..

The time has come to face up to the truth,
whatever the consequences, those are the rules.
Nothing happens by luck or by chance,
the timing is perfect and your world is enhanced.

You're reading this message because of a light,
that has guided you inward, to see toward what's right.
Some of the travelers who get on this ride,
are not ready to see it, to think or decide.

They just need a push, a shove or a guide,
the great illusion is inward, and not just outside.
It's the secret of life that flows in us all,
but why understand it and why climb this wall?

Nothing is simple as we hide under our beds,
all is a paradox and it's all in our heads.

Fantasy is lucid on this trip through the dream,
the path travels inward ~ building high self esteem.
Overcoming all images of fear and of strife.
thought creates reality ...that's the Mystery of Life!

It's all in a Word..

Change the significance of life with one word,
its spelling, its meaning, its message unheard.
Wake up the vision ~ come push or get shoved,
open your mind with the power of love.

A positive reflection of your life it will show,
the opposite meaning to the word known as
NO.
That two letter word which closes all doors,
shows clearly affliction ...and causes much more.

The inevitable direction for lost in the crowd,
since that word brings on karma when spoken out loud.
The impending destruction of a place to outgrow,
change results of the negative ~
with the wisdom of KNOW.

Seeing is believing ~ blind as you are,
if you don't see for yourself, you won't get very far.
You're on your own now ...there's no turning back,
knowledge is primary ~ that is the knack.

A complete transformation that all undergo,
live in the magic ...and the comfort of know.

So wise a concept when finally thought out,
the results of your efforts is what it’s about.

Life is as subtle as the words you have heard,
substitute know for no ...it's all in that word!
