Learning to see more
Hey friends,
Have you ever been in an argument with a friend or family member and you just couldn’t get on the same page? Have you ever tried to get someone to see your point of view and they just couldn’t? Well it may be as simple as which part of their brain they are “seeing” from.
Take 2 minutes to look at this example from the Herald Sun and see if you can see both examples. It’s a perfect explanation of how people can look at the same thing but see something different.

hello john, thak you for your attention.I hope that you send me more Emails.your way is saintly. thanks alot.
One of the coolest optical illusions I’ve ever seen. I saw her clockwise at first, and couldn’t see how it could be otherwise u ntil I focused on her foot, and where i was percieving it moving behind her ankle, I told myself it’s moving toward me. After several times repeating this, it was as if she kind of hopped,and started turning the other way.
Interesting note which some of you may not believe, but I can see her rotate either way at will. Is this possibly due to Holosync?
Yea I tried it again today and I cannot see her turning anti-clockwise. I even tried to turn my fingers anti-clockwise and no go. I can see how it possible that you can see her turning anti, but I can’t convince my brain or my eyes that it does. So I only see her turning in one direction. Clockwise..
Hi John,
Thanks for pointing the site out to us. However, I can’t for the life of me see it turn anti-clockwise. Can you or anyone else tell me what that means? It’s kind of freaking me out that everybody else can see the dancer go anti-clockwise but not me….
Thanks!
This was an amazing feat. I noticed when I tilted my head I had a different perspective and she changed her direction. OK John what does all this mean and how can we use it? I’m anxiously awaiting your next email! Thank You!
I`ll try. Like left from 3 – 9 on the watch
I didn’t see it at first…..But then I did….How does that happen?
This is amazing. I am very a very analytical, left-brain person and it was no surprise to start off seeing the dancer turn counter-clockwise. It wasn’t until looked away and noted in my peripheral vision that she changed directions! It’s been fascinating to change the direction at will. The process is very similar to seeing auras. The eyes get a little strained, but what incredible excitement when you see it appear right before your very eyes!
I had no problem switching her back and forth at will. Very interesting obserrvations.
amazing!
I saw the dancer quite some days back but had not visited this blog since. I have been trying this amazing test with may family and friends, including some in Canada, the US and New Zealand but with a small difference. Knowing the person to whom I show this, I try to predict his / her initial response and have had about 70% accuracy. I was myself so fascinated with it I tested almost fifty people. Eventually with persistence most could see her spin in both directions but their initial and spontaneous reply supported my reading of their basic nature of creativity / logical. Thanks John, for giving me a chance to be quite pleased with myself.
When you can only see one way it means that you are having a hard time shifting from left brain function to right brain function.
It just takes practice, don’t try, just observe then look away and try again
Wow!! This is amazing. I saw her turning clockwise, and then after reading the other posts I started concentrating and I saw her move counter-clockwise!

I can`t understand that someone sees it anti clockwise. It only goes like left. If I try to imagine it goes anti, I may get a feeling that it does, but my vizualisation about watchs stops that
What does it mean when you can only see one direction, I’ve tried for some time and only see her spinning clockwise..
I love finding things that makes us think and grow- These types of tools allow us to understand better how and why we often don’t see what someone else is talking about ecen though it’s right in front of our eyes!
Hello John, “Karin Hiebert” here again, visiting your outstanding blogs as always!
This was a very interesting experiment, as I first noticed that she was turning clockwise.
Knowing that others would see her turning the opposite direction, “because you stated that some would” I focused on her a little longer.
She began to turn anti- clockwise. I also noticed that if I looked at a different part of her body ie.) the upper half, this is when both changes took place.
I could also then actually “see her” almost dancing in both directions, moving swaying rather in front of me from left to right and right to left back and forth.
I played with this for a while and it amazed me, in how differently I could see her…just by watching her various parts of her body, or concentrating/focusingon her movements.
I find this as interesting as those pictures, not sure what they are called, where you look at it, and see the three d picture.
I have no problem, in seconds seeing the image…I have tried to show or teach many people on how to see these images, and some successfully do see them.
Although the majority cannot see the image no matter how they look at it, or concentrate or not concentrate on it.
It is almost frustrating to me at times that no mater what I do, say, or advise them in viewing these that they simply cannot see anything!
They become frustrated and stop looking or “searching” for the image, and look at me like I am nuts or that I am “making it up” that there actually is a beautiful 3 d image there that I can see!
And they are quite beautiful! I wonder often how perhaps, these people may be “missing out” on not seeing other beauty around them, because perhaps their minds do not allow them, or are open to see things in a different “light or form”
What are your thoughts on this, or your readers thoughts?
I would be interested in finding out how many can or cannot see these images?
Or how many do not see this woman change direction at all.
I had my partner look at it and he ONLY saw her moving clockwise and said she was not moving any other way but, clockwise!
Very interesting, entertaining and “eye and mind opening” experiment!
Thank you for posting this!
Respect,
your friend,
Karin Hiebert
Wow,when I first read the article I thought no way will I see it turning anti-clockwise when it was plain to see it was turning clockwise!Then I started reading the different functions of each side of the brain and depending on which one I was reading that is the way it would be turning.I thought at first my eyes were playing trick’s on me,had to watch it for several minutes to make sure.One of those life lessons,make sure you focus and look at both sides of any argument before you judge.Thanks John for a lesson well learned.
Thank you John for this amazing test! I am fascinated by it! At first I could only see the clockwise rotation, not comprehending how others around me were seeing anti-clockwise! I then realised that when i picked up a pen to write something (i.e. logic…) she suddenly started rotating anti-clockwise! Wow! Amazing! I now have been “playing” with this for hours, and am having great fun experimenting with it.
Thanks again!
I see the figure turning clockwise and counter-clockwise at will.
Yes I see the picture anticlockwise, so which brain I use more, I tried to see clockwise too, it’s works. Give me a reply.
Thank you,
Fascinating! Knowing that I’m very right brain it was no surprise that I saw her turning clockwise. I had to focus on her feet & shadow by shielding my eyes, then I relaxed my focus & imagined her turning the other way & voila! She did my bidding. Thank you John for sharing this mind stretching experience.

I`m usually under my mother pressure to see the world as she does.I wish she could read this article too.
Great one!
The dances almost stopped and then switched the rotation … but I’m still the right-brainer!
Thanx for this!
Here’s a neat game you can play. Try to make her do 5 spins clockwise, then 5 spins anticlockwise. Then try 3 spins clockwise followed by 3 spins anticlockwise. Mix it up and see how fast you can make her change direction. It’s pretty cool.
Totally amazing! All I had to do was unfocus, saw two shapes for a moment then saw the change of direction from counter-clockwise to clockwise. Then when I wasn’t concentrating, it turned back to counter-clockwise. Manifestation goes where attention flows!!! Fascinating!
Thanks John
Amazing…at first I could only see the clockwise rotation…but after I concentrated and visualized it rotating anti-clockwise she starting turning the other way! Unbelievable. My natural tendency is to see her clockwise which is very surpising, as I have always thought of my self as being left-brained. Cool!
I’m audial/keiestheic and about 2% visual, so I was totally amazed to see the rotation anticlockwise appear after only a few seconds. This is grrrreat! Luv Ya All, Justin
I can see both rotations…also I notice that it changes when I decided…one more interesting lesson John…
Okay, cool. I saw both. First clockwise, then counterclockwise, then again clockwise & on & on. So I believed what I saw, both.
While staring at the dancer she initially rotated clockwise, after staring at her longer and focusing more, she did not change direction. After reading the qualities of right brain thinkers vs. left brain thinkers, I glanced back at the dancer she changed directions and finally she began to move in the direction I wanted to see.
I am relieved to see that with the changing of the eyes, the focus did indeed turn her from counterclockwise to clockwise. It proves sometimes we need more patience in ourselves to see the truth.
WOW that was incredible, i thought it was a trick or something. First i was able to see the dancer anti clockwise then clockwise. I was switching something back and forth in my brain and i see switch her direction. So what does that mean i can see both sides on any situation, i just need to focus on it!!! Thanks, ciao :O)
I could only see the dancer turning clock-wise. The only way I could even conceive of the dancer turning the other way was if I just looked at the circle her foot was making and looking at her from the bottom up. I feel like I’m missing something by not being able to see her turning around the other way.
What an amazing test.
I saw the dancer turning clockwise and couldn’t believe that she could turn anticlockwise.
After watching the image for a while I unfocused and saw 2 dancers both turning clockwise and then shortly after one was turning clockwise and the other had reversed her spin to anticlockwise. I then focused on the anticlockwise dancer and she was then the only one and I couldn’t believe that she could ever turn clockwise. After some more practice I could switch the dancer’s direction by deciding what I wanted to see.
So I went from “I’ll believe it when I see it” to “I’ll see it when I believe it”
There are a lot of lessons in this simple little test.
