Do we see things as they really are ….?????
According to Wikipedia ….
An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed and the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types of illusion – literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type – brightness, tilt, color, movement, and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.
Irene was out early this morning enjoying her foot bath at http://www.aptoscorecare.com. The foot baths are designed to remove toxins from her body. She later joined Phyllis Cauwels and Denise Haikkila at Hank’s on the Hook in Santa Cruz near Pleasure Point. The nausea remained at a low roar but she remained fairly active all day.
In the Ponzo illusion the converging parallel lines tell the brain that the image higher in the visual field is further away therefore the brain perceives the image to be larger, although the two images hitting the retina are the same size.

We are learning that our observations on Irene’s Journey of Faith are very finite. Lingering questions and concerns remain as we filter them through our daily experience. We’ve concluded that accurate vision only comes through the lens of faith, which is a gift of God.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God —
Ephesians 2:8We live by faith, not by sight.
