Through my right eye I have been experiencing a strange phenomenon through my right eye since I was a boy : For some reason, there have been spots in my visual field. The spots look like small, compact cells, and they always appear at the right-bottom part of my visual field. I often wondered what they were before I discovered the truth about them. They were sometimes scary because they seemed to form the silhouette of a ghost. On the other hand, they triggered my curiosity. I had come up with some hypotheses as to what these unknown images in my visual field were. When I was a child, I thought that they were part of a map revealing the location of some hidden treasure. I connected the spots in my visual field to the map of some hidden treasure only for a very short time, though. I guess such assumption about the spots might have come from the Hollywood movies I saw as a child. Before I came to London, I chanced upon a scientific explanation for the spots in my visual field. I went to the ophthalmologist one time because I developed dry-eye syndrome. After the medical examination, the doctor asked me if I encountered an accident in the past involving my right eye. He showed me the scar on my cornea on his monitor. He was right. An old memory flashed through my mind at that point. I was hit on my eye by a flying soccer ball. The illusion was a scar then! This slightly disappointed me because I realized that the spots in my visual field were nothing really special, which I thought they were. The other reason was that discovering the truth about the spots in my visual field meant the end of my imagining. Besides, I do not like the implications of having a scar. I could not think of the spots as being just a scar because their shape was so beautiful and because they had brought many thoughts into my mind. When I see something, the crack of my right eye is always overlapping. The overlapped image seems my genuine experience. Especially it is clear in empty space. In my practice, I trace the relationship between the crack and the space. Sometimes, I encounter the personal experiences or inner emotions through the overlapping images.
