Sometimes you have to hear from someone else's lips: "I had a vision." This expression is perceived by people so individually that clarification of points of view can easily lead to scandal. Some consider the vision a fiction, others insist on the reality of images, others embark on lengthy explanations of the principles of the brain. There are other positions. What is a vision? How to describe and understand it correctly? Let's figure it out.
Strict Realist Position
Vision is a figment of the imagination, a mirage. It appears when a person thinks hard about something. A certain problem, fact or event is so deeply interested in him that he cannot distract from it. Does not work. Even when he tries to switch to another topic, in his head this problem still turns around. Therefore, his thoughts give rise to images related to the topic of constant reflection. Like, for example, the inspiration of a brilliant scientist. All the information studied is structured, and the brain spontaneously produces a result. And night visions are a reflection of the events and impressions of the day. What a person paid attention to appears in the brain, intertwines and forms bizarre dream pictures. There is nothing supernatural in this. Brain cells work constantly. In the deep phase of sleep, they give rise to images that a person perceives. Other thing is a vision of the world! This is worth talking about. This is a way of perceiving reality.
Scientific approach
Vision is a reflection of the inner workings of brain cells. Neural connections are formed according to a rather complex scheme. They are interwoven into bizarre knots. Cognitive activity is reflected in this incredibly complicated system, changing it. There are situations when, due to stress or trauma, stable connections change their configuration. Then the images recorded in neural connections overlap each other, giving rise to something completely different. Human consciousness perceives new chains as visions. They exist only in his imagination. It is impossible to say that images have a connection with reality. The cases described in the literature are considered coincidences, which are fully justified by the theory of probability. If it seems to someone that he sees future events, then this is his personal opinion. In fact, this can happen by accident. Look at our planet. She is alone in the entire universe. Also a coincidence of many factors that allowed the development of life. So it is with brain cells. Their number allows you to create such a gigantic number of configurations that some may be prophetic. Vision is an image created by the nervous system that is perceived only by a given personality. It is not available to others. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the physical world.
What does religion think?
Priests also talk about what vision means. They believe that this message is from the Lord or devilish forces. It all depends on the personality of the one who has it. Hieromonk or holy fathers receive information from above. She comes in the form of a vision. This is a message that the recipient is obliged to transmit to the world. Remember at least the legend of the Star of Bethlehem. Joseph had a vision of the appearance of a divine baby. Today, visions of the elders about the future are widely known. They talk a lot about them, some people perceive them as revelations. On the other hand, a sinful person, that is, an ordinary person, receives images from the unclean. The devil is trying in this way to seduce a weak creature. Priests recommend strengthening faith, not succumbing to these machinations. That’s why they are bad for fortune telling. For example, the seer Wang was excommunicated. The priests considered her work to be devilish machinations. Although not one of her visions is a prediction that has already come true. Proven by recent history.
Esoteric approach
Vision is a way of communicating with the subtle plane. They are with everyone. Any person is multidimensional. The body is in the physical world, and field structures are in the energy space. The connection between them is inextricable and constant. Only not everyone perceives it. A developed personality can communicate with subtle worlds. This happens in various ways. One vision comes spontaneously. Others receive answers in the form of images to the questions asked. For this, various techniques are used. There are people who find it easier to perceive night visions. They know how to create controlled dreams. That is, their consciousness does not turn off when the brain is in a deep phase. In this state, you can travel the astral plane, gain knowledge, fly to other planets, and so on. For an ordinary person, spontaneous visions are important, appearing out of touch with real events. They are also called intuition.
Who is right?
If you look a little deeper, it turns out that the disagreements between these approaches are superficial. The work of the brain does not deny the presence of a soul, and faith is an opportunity to look beyond the veil of the future. Limits the perception of our concept of worldview. People build their perception of events on some convenient or generally accepted dogmas. It is they that make it difficult to see the world wider. Think for yourself, your attitude to visions is based on. You just need to get to the bottom of deep installations. For some, religious dogma will be an obstacle to accepting the reality of that phenomenon; for others, scientific arguments. But all these are just limitations.
Is it possible to cause visions?
Actually there is nothing easier. Only it should be believed that there are no barriers. And for this, you need to remove restrictions from the subconscious (see the previous paragraph). Learning to communicate with the subtle worlds is even very important. For millennia under the influence of religion, people have denied part of themselves. They were told that there is an immortal soul. But nobody talked about how to talk to her. This is the same as knowing about the presence of a liver, but not responding to its signals when you become ill, for example. The fact that the process of communication is quite normal is indicated by the visions of people before death. Scientists were engaged in this phenomenon and proved that it is not just a figment of a sick imagination. A lot of repeated evidence of "light at the end of the tunnel." This is not a fraud, as people with different levels of education, religious beliefs and life experiences tell the same thing. Honestly, the rather well-known predictions of the seers are also a kind of proof of the existence of a connection with the subtle worlds. For many of them, the percentage of coincidences far exceeds the statistical error.
Conclusion
Visions are a very interesting and mysterious phenomenon. It is important that they are individual. Almost everyone encounters them in practice. Just not everyone is analyzing, trying to understand what it was. Take the dreams. How many are trying to solve them? And they see everything. How to relate to this phenomenon is a private matter. However, it is recommended that you consider why visions come to you specifically. What do they mean? Refusing to think about this information, do you limit your own personality? What do you think?
