It's an honor and a pleasure to be here. And I hope everybody is doing well out there. So before I begin, I want to share given announcement that I'm going to be teaching a three day online workshop in October. And this is called the vision sanctuary retreat. I've done this before. And it's an online retreat, we're going to be meeting for the weekend, I believe it's the weekend of October 9 10th, and 11th. In any case, we'll be putting that up on my web store in the next couple of weeks. So we'll take early registration, if you want to sign up, we had a big group, the last time I taught this type of workshop. And, you know, one of the things I like to do in the workshops like this, this is more of an advanced intensive, I call it an immersion is that we want to create enough momentum to create the change that is necessary for you to transform, expand, he'll get better. And once you make that breakthrough, then your eyes and body know what to do in terms of healing and getting better. So the intensity, the amount of hours we spend, and especially in this immersion, really is effective. I've been doing it a long time. And so I hope you can join me, we'll be putting that out through the newsletter and other sources. So we've got a number of questions today. And I want to start in with a very interesting question. Something called the Charles Bonet syndrome. And this is a condition where you actually start getting visual hallucinations. And basically, you know, when you start getting these kinds of short things that, you know, you'll look, you'll look out there, and you see things like geometric shapes or different I mean, it's kind of weird, you see all kinds of, you know, things that are not normally there. And you go What the heck is this? Well, it is a visual impairment. And there may be reasons why you could get this kind of visual hallucination. Basically, it could be changes in the retina itself, for example, macular degeneration, you know, whenever you get macular changes, you start seeing distortions. And in fact, one of the tests that is used by doctors is called an Amsler grid. It's basically a grid that you look at. And by doing that, you can see if there's any distortion going on, and if there is, it could be the macula. Another reason why you might get these weird visual hallucinations could be because cataracts are forming. And over the years, I've seen people who've developed different types of cataracts. And of course, I've talked about the many different types, and they start to configure on the lens of the eye. And so this creates a distortion in the light actually reaching the retina. And so you can get all kinds of weird ways to see the world distortions and warping and things like that. Some other things could be glaucoma, so you know, glaucoma is called the silent disease, you don't really know you have it,
