A Martime's View

Holes in World's Reality (part 1) - This is a strange side of the invisible world. Imagine if in our ability to see things, it was restricted to only a fraction of a second and until several seconds later; we saw nothing. As an example, you are watching a tennis game and someone walks between you and the game. You hurry to see around the person who is blocking your view. You hear the tennis racket hitting the ball and the ball hitting the ground but see nothing.

Or have you had a movie on television stopped for commercials. What if you had a reception problem and the picture disappears for 5 or 6 seconds, and that part of the movie was lost. Can you imagine living life in this invisible world of several lost seconds every few seconds. Yes some people do know this world, and believe it they are happy to have those few seconds of reality Strange way to live life. Strange way to exist.

Who are they, Well they are you and I and others like the Blind or other lost of ability in life. If it is your eyes and your hearing still works, you hope to continue to get your information from what you hear. If you lost your walking, or your memory, or your ability to be accepted by others as equal.

Yes, I am talking about the Handicap. Blind, wheelchair bound, mental sickness and others. Do they don't have short shots of vision of reality. Or do they simply live their lives and learn to live with the seconds of information or ability they do have.

I work as a volunteer and Director to Blind Lawnbowlers. And their world of playing Lawnbowling, exist in seconds of lost reality as the next reality information is recieved or given by someone to help develop their image of reality.

As the blind bowler is on the delivery mat, with the lawnbowling bowl in their hand, they hear the directors voice assisting the with their delivery. " You are turning your wrist" or " No, your delivery is too much left" I am standing directly in the line of delivery, so the blind bowler is rolling their bowl directly at my voice. With all the information collected, and believing in our judgement, we say "OK now" and they do their lawnbowling delivery.

Yes, they do a very good delivery. Even to the point of hitting the jack and stopping within inches. Practice.

But, once they deliver the bowl and it begins rolling toward the target (jack) their reality goes out like a light for the 5 or 6 seconds while their bowl rolls to the jack. As the bowl comes to a stop they receive information from their director as to it location. 3 feet at 5 o'clock (12 a head and 6 toward you).
This example is given because we value our sight and can imagine the lost of information and reality for short periods of time.

We know if there was a bell or whistle on the bowl; they can hear it as it goes up the green, and fill this hole of reality and vision.. In their mind's eye where they see and create their world of reality with the information, they see in their own way. In their sport or daily walk in life, they know they are doing the right thing and wait. The Blind Lanwbowler create a good shot and wait until the bowls stops to have the result of their efforts. and create a world of their reality.

How real is how well they remember their bowls locations (all four) and even their opponents. (certainly not as we see them with our eyes, but more as a bullet shot target).

But as they play end to end, in bowls or in life; they live several recurrences of this lost reality.

This is the world of the some people daily, always to the corner and looking for the next reference point. (corner where must turn left, memory of something) Life is like a car rally every minute of their day.. ..........................Part 2. Believe it or not... We live this same car rally life and invisible world, with the many holes in our reality and visible world.
