Welcome to Business Innovators Radio, featuring industry influencers and trendsetters, sharing proven strategies to help you build a better life right now. Hello, everyone. This is Dr. Tammy Passer, and I'm really excited because we are going to be speaking with Barry Akhtel, and he is a visionary leader in the field of holistic eyesight improvement and personal. Insight Development. Barry has had a compelling journey of overcoming the need to wear glasses and even a brain tumor on his optic nerve, and he is the founder of the Vision School. His work is dedicated to helping individuals improve their eyesight naturally while also enhancing their inner vision. Barry is also the creative mind behind the inspiring film. Vision 2020 from eyesight to insight. So today we're just going to have a great conversation with Barry about his journey and his incredible groundbreaking methods and how you can start seeing the world through clearer, more insightful eyes.

So welcome, Barry. Thank you, Terry. Really great to be here. Yeah, I just to let everybody know, I have the pleasure of actually meet. meeting Barry in person. It was like in early 2020, February, right before COVID hit, we were at, I believe it was something like the soul connection, but it was an event, and it was a very transforming event. And Barry was living in Australia, and now he is living here in Florida in the United States.

So that's really exciting to hear. So welcome. So first, Barry, can you share some of your personal journey and how you manage to overcome the need for glasses despite the fact that you actually had a brain tumor on your optic nerve? Look, it was certainly a journey. And you've got to imagine you've got to go back now 30 years for this. This is 30 years ago.

I was a school teacher teaching in a high school. And I took my son to an optometrist. And the optometrist suggested some exercises for him. And I was like, really? Like, come on, you know. And he turned around to me and he said, what about you? And I said, it's too late for me. I'm already 32, you know, like that's, I'm too old.

And, but I went home. and there must have been something within me that tweed. You know when moments happened in life and there was nothing that was specifically said, but I went home and I remembered that when I got my glasses, I put them on and they felt too strong. And people always have this thing. We go back to the optometrist and we say they feel too strong

and the response is you'll get used to it. In other words, I figured my eyes were deteriorates efficiently to match the new lens. But he also said something to me. He also said, well, what do you expect for someone in their mid-40s? And I was 32, and I thought, if my eyesight is in the equivalent to somebody in the mid-40s, what's going to be like when I'm in mid-40s, 50s, 60s? And so I really started an experiment on myself to see, is it possible to get out of classes?

And I just started doing something every day to see my goal was really at the end of the day if I could stop the deterioration in my eyesight. Like that was about what I could handle in terms of possibility. I went back to the optometrist two months later and he actually took off the need for reading glasses. He said you don't need reading glasses anymore. and in actual fact I've never used reading glasses again since. So that was pretty incredible and it got me excited, you know, like maybe this possible to even get out of glasses for distance. And four months later, I passed a driver's license of 2020 vision.

And that was, you know, amazing in itself, you know, to go and get a driver's license with that taken off. That was really a thrill for me. the interesting thing that happened is that two weeks later he called me back in because he had a new machine and i got to be sort of friend he was quite interested in what i was doing you know we became friends and he had this new machine for checking peripheral vision and what happened is as he checked the peripheral vision i didn't have any and that's how they actually discovered there was a tumor sitting on the nerve and they said

you shouldn't be able to see and i've got well i'm doing all these exercises, I'm doing all these things. And that was the start, I believe, of my journey from eyesight into bigger vision. I had to have and create a bigger vision for myself to get through that. So you actually went from needing reading glasses to not meeting reading glasses to not meeting the distance lenses. And then, of course, the serendipity of it was that because you became friends with the optometrists, you were able to find out that you had these issues yet.

This tumor, which could have stalled in your eyesight, didn't probably because you'd been working on the other thing. And I know that this goes way beyond just eyesight because you do a lot with insight. And I definitely want to get into that. But I do want to talk more about eyesight for a little bit. So with your strategies, what can people do to get started to start improving their eyesight if that is something that they want to do? Because I know that one of my eyes, for example, is 20-20. I have an astigmatism. and then I have the other one as like 2015 or something.

And they've been like that for a long, long time. And I avoid wearing glasses a lot until I need to wear them, even though I know that my vision isn't, you know, 2020. It's interesting. So what are some steps that someone could take to get started? So first of all, you know, I don't want wearing glasses for people to feel bad if they wear glasses, you know, If they need to wear them, like if they're driving, I prefer if they're wearing them if I'm coming the other way.

You know, so they do serve a purpose. Although what happens in modern societies, they become a crutch. And so I love the fact that you decide, I can wear them, you know, I need to wear them for this, but I don't need to wear them for that. I think it's a great starting point. You know, work out when you need to wear them, when don't you need to wear them.

And I actually ended up doing a master's, of education focusing on computers and eyesight. And in that, I actually classified all the eye exercises that I found and all the ones that I created into passive and active exercises. You know, active is like going to the gym, really working hard, passive is just being really still. And more and more these days,

and certainly with the work of Dr. William Bates that I sort of follow and really went in, to what's happened is more and more, I believe it's just if you can relax your eyes, that goes a long way towards it. And I can show how to do that in a moment. And I just want to encourage people to think about the fact that we spend five minutes or so every day cleaning our teeth, you know, twice a day without thinking about it. What do we do to look after our eyes? And so, really interesting, isn't it? Yeah, I was just saying

most of the time with computers, too, I mean, we are using our eyes, it seems like way more than we used to use them because if we're using computers for work, you're talking about at least eight hours, probably in front of a computer, if not more, depending,

or people now with their phone. If you use a computer, more than two hours a day, it has a detrimental effect on your eyesight. Now, most of us are probably using a computer more than two hours a day. So, you know, what can we do about it? And we're also, the statistics at the moment is showing that over 90%, listen to this, over 90% of people over 50 wear glasses. And no one's saying much about it because it's a multi-billion dollar industry.

You know, imagine if I gave you a pair of crutches because you used, sprained your foot. And I said, now you need to use these crutches the rest of your life. You probably get a second opinion. But with glasses, we just accept that as society. Everyone has them. Yes. And a lot of, now, a lot of times glasses are a fashion state. Yes. And I know I have a pair of prescription sunglasses and they keep disappearing because my son's girlfriend keeps on grabbing them and I go, those are prescription classes. They're not just sunglasses, you know, but I guess she likes the way they look or something. But that is amazing that that many people wear glasses. And I imagine that with the newer, younger generations, they're probably going to be wearing glasses because they're using technology when they're little babies. And they're used to be. It used to be. It used to be. 50% of adults, it's now 50% of the total population because younger people are coming through wearing glasses as well.

Wow. So I will give you one exercise and I work on this basis, you know, the more exercises I give people, the less likely they're out to do them. Right. So I'm just going to give you this one exercise that you can do that should actually, for most cases, will have some improvement in your eyesight straight away. Then if you can get that, you can get that. you're more likely to do it every day.

And that's what I want people to do. So I'll show you first and then I'll get you do it with me, Tammy. Okay. But you'll have your eyes closed. So I'm going to get you to rub your hands and everyone just listening. You're going to be rubbing your hands. You're going to cut them like you've got some eggs in them. And you're going to place them over your closed eyes like that.

And then when I tell you two, you're going to drop them, just like you've got V. You're going to touch the corners of your eyes, drop your hands and open your eyes. That's simple. So let's let's everyone do that together. They rub your hands together. Okay. Got it. Creating some warmth and then we're going to cut them and place them over our clothes eyes.

That's perfect. Tammy, well done. Okay. And the first thing I want you to do is to relax. Just drop your shoulders and relax. And I want you to notice are your hands warm, cold, or maybe even just tingling. Warm. Okay.

I want you to notice also, are you seeing black, complete black, or are you seeing shapes and maybe some light, even colors coming through? That seems like kind of dark clouds, but it's pretty dark. Okay. The final question for you is, how's it feel like is it relaxing for your eyes? Yes. Yeah. Okay.

So let's just drop our hands slowly, touch the corners of your eyes, drop your hands completely and then open your eyes. Oh, you're clearer. And we've been staged this, everyone listening. Yeah, you actually are clearer than you were before we did that exercise. So it was just that I relaxed my eyes and so it just gave them that up. There's two things about this. One is about relaxing the muscles around your eyes as a technical approach.

there's also an energetic component to this about setting energy in into your eyes and that will also relax your eyes and both are working depending on how you see it so it's referred to as palming and it's the number one exercise I encourage everyone to do every day if you just did that I've literally had people get out of classes just doing that one exercise well I can vouch for it because I did it and And definitely when I opened my eyes, you were much clearer on the screen than you were just a few minutes before. And again, I don't even think that took a minute. No.

So that is. Two minutes a day. Just two minutes of die doing that. That will have a bit of faith on your eyes off. Wow. That's the way to do a demonstration. I really appreciate that, too, because that's, that. is something that I could do and I do spend more than two hours a day in front of

computer so and there are there are look there's timers and all that the people have suggested you know to remind people to do it I found if I'm working and a timer goes on says now do your parming most people will just turn that off after a day or two because it disrupts them but the idea if you can build that into your day every half hour or so you know do it 15 20 seconds of farming, not only will your eyes feel better, but your level of concentration will actually improve. And I mean that, that focus is something, again, sometimes I can just focus and I'll look at the clock

and hours will have gone by because I'm so involved in something. And then other times, it's like I'm here and here and here and getting very distracted. I know that you talk about the relationship between your eyesight and your insight. And I know you do a lot with insight because I've done some of your classes. And they're very, very powerful. Can you explain the concept of how eyesight and insight are connected? Sure. where I started, I guess my own journey, having improved my eyesight, doing the eye exercises

improve them to a certain extent. And I had a lot of other people who found that yes, it would help and it would improve eyesight, but wouldn't necessarily eliminate glasses. And one of the final steps for me in order for me to do that was I had to really look at what was it in life I didn't want to look at? what was it in life I didn't want to see. And when I had to really look at that, what was going on in my life, particularly as a teenager, there was a whole lot of stuff going on around my family dynamics.

My parents eventually got divorced, but I didn't want to see what was going on. And so for a lot of people, it's really interesting to go back and look at what is it that caused you to get classes in the first place. and we can say yes, we can say computers and we can say age and we can say those sorts of things. But my experience is there's an emotion behind that that has triggered it mainly probably one to two years before you ever notice that your eyesight deteriorate. It takes a while. And that can be a loss of a loved one, a divorce, shifting house, you know, losing a career.

All those things can affect people's eyesight. I think you're absolutely right because I remember the first time when I was growing up, I had 20, 20 vision, no eyesight problems at all. And then when I was about 17, I graduated a year early from school because my parents were always arguing. I was like trying to speed it up because my dad kept telling my mom that as soon as I graduated, he wanted a divorce. And I remember my eyesight went from 2020 to all of a sudden everything was blurry when I was trying to read and go to school. And I remember going to the doctor and they prescribed glasses for near-sighted, you know, for, I guess for reading. But it's funny because that was my first experience with trying to wear glasses. and then later the experience was, oh, no, you're far-sighted.

You need glasses for distance. But I do think you're right because I remember that was a very traumatic period of, you know, when my parents were arguing. And then, of course, they never did get a divorce. They stayed together until my mother passed away. So it was obviously they were just probably going through a rough patch at that moment. in time. So you talk about life's vision and can you expand on that and how beyond the eyesight that you're working, explain more about what else you're doing with life's vision.

So where the work is sort of having looked at, I guess, those aspects of what don't you want to see and then sort of explore where are you going to? Like, where are you heading? And in particular, I found working with people is one of the things that were stopping them from seeing is that they weren't clear on their own life's vision on where they were heading. And so a lot of my work started looking at people's vision of life. In other words, started looking at what is it they meant to be doing in this life? And are they living the life that they came here to do? And a lot of people simply weren't living it.

they had an idea or they had an inkling about what they wanted to do. But there was generally this aspect of, I think there's something more to life than this. You know, something more than just getting by from nine to five and surviving this week, this year, this decade. And for me, it's really about having a contribution to the world itself, of uplifting the world. And so the work that I do now is really supporting people in what I refer to as about being a beacon of light, in other words, sharing their light with others.

So first of all, they get to find their own light and really get clear on what they want. And then they actually get to support others to do the same thing. And we've now done that with hundreds of people where we've managed to raise their vibration, their frequency to brand new levels so that they can actually live what they want to do. And it's slightly different than just a straight coaching session. because what I do is I created a technique called like body alignment. And what that does is clear those blocks that stop us for living our life's purpose.

So there's one thing saying, oh, yes, I know what my blocks are. There's another thing to be able to clear that literally in a matter of minutes. Yes, and I have participated in some of your clearings, the classes that you've done. And you're absolutely right. Once it's identified and then you do whatever it is you do to help clear them, I know that I witness my own different transformations, but I also witness other people in this group setting in some of the classes that you've done. So I can really see that.

Can you? Just a comment on that, the great thing about. these group settings is I might be clearing your eyes or might be clearing an issue that you might have in a group setting as I clear that and not only clears for that person it clears for everyone listening whether they're live or listening to the replay so we've had people who've had massive change listening to one of the classes where I'm clearing blocks for someone two three five years earlier and it's still having the same impact same impact. And that's because this work actually moves beyond time and space. It's not

staying. It's set up. The intent was it to set up so that it has the same effect whether you listen to it live or you listen to it in 50 years time when I'm not here. That's really phenomenal because, yes, I have listened to the replays and done it live. And I think that is a true statement that you and I think you're really. right because that's part of your legacy and that's the beauty of the fact that we're able to record different things now because you like you said it transcends time and space. I wanted to ask you a little bit more about the movie Vision 2020 from eyesight to insight. how did that movie come about

and what is the concept of it about the eyesight and about what you're doing now with the clearings and that type of work? It's really an introduction for people to look at what is all this about, you know, and what is the connection? You know, what is the connection from eyesight to insight?

So in 19, in 2019, I knew 2020 was coming up. And I thought, this is a great idea to do something for 2020. You know, like it's such an obvious thing when we're talking about eyesight and 2020 is going to be there. We didn't know there's going to be a pandemic that shut everything down. But we actually, I got one of my other vision teachers and myself, we actually decide to interview all these vision teachers and to let people know that it's possible to do something about their own eyesight. and then as the movie progresses,

it's only a 75 minute movie, but as it progresses, it takes people on this journey where they recognise there's more to eyesight than just how we see and therefore starts looking in a bigger picture of what real vision is.

Now the beauty with this movie is we've had people improve their physical eyesight watching the movie and we've had people recognising that they deserve to have a bigger vision of life by watching the movie as well. Because I believe everyone deserves to live their life's vision. It's interesting because when you talk about that,

I keep getting that everyone talks about, you know, what is your purpose? And the way that you describe it as a life's vision, I like that because to me that makes it more visually clear in my mind because, so many people talk about purpose. And when you talk about purpose, I think that doesn't always resonate. But when you talk about what is your life's vision, it makes it almost something that you can see

so that you could move forward. So what is happening right now? What are you, what are the big things you're doing right now, Barry? The biggest thing I'm doing at the moment is I'm running these mentoring groups and there's a group called Life Vision Mentory. And what that will do will take people on a journey that in six months will take their vibration. If you know the David Hawkins scale over a thousand, over a thousand, which 10 years ago I would have said was impossible. and it raises their personal connection to spirit, you know, who they are, and will at least double that. And it also takes their frequency, which is about the law of attraction of how, how can I manifest

relationships, how can I manifest money, how can I manifest the life that I really want to live, how can I manifest good health, and opens that up to even new possibilities as well, as we lift to a higher level of frequency rather than a traditional frequency where people are sort of competing with each other and making do. This puts us into a higher level of consciousness where we can actually start allowing stuff to come to us rather than trying to fight for it. And so this program has been literally a program that people have to apply for. They can't just come into it.

They have to have a certain level of development. it's really setting up a real spiritual foundation. We can guarantee people now the success because after 16 programs and 10 years later, we have had 100% success rate, 100% success rate in getting people to these new levels. Wow. So what is that called again?

It's called life vision mentoring. Life vision mentoring. So if somebody wants to, contact you about anything about the eyesight or the life mentoring, life vision mentoring. Yes. How can they do that? The easiest way would be the the vision school.org.

There is a contact in there that I will get straight away. Or if you want to contact me personally, you can contact me at barry at thevision school. dot org. So Barry at the vision school.org. Okay. Barry at the vision school.org. Well, thank you so much. Before I let you go, is there anything you'd like to add? I would really just want to encourage people to look both at their eyesight, you know, to do their parming each day, to try that for 10 days and then let me know how you go. and I really want to encourage people to start thinking about how can they get their message out to the world because the world needs all of us now to step up and get that message out there.

So my big thrill is seeing people surpass me and do far better than I've done because that means the message is getting out there. So I just want to encourage people to at least have a look at it. Well, I'm really happy that I've had this opportunity to meet you. you in person and then also to help you share that vision. And like I said, I have participated in several of your programs. And just like what you just taught me today with the palming, and that was like instant eyesight improvement, very easy to do. And like you said, something as simple as that. Everyone do reach out to Barry. Go to his website, thevision

School.org. Go check that out. And I just want to offer people a free 20-minute focus session so that you can find out whether any of the work that we do isn't fit for you. So if you just simply email me, we'll make sure we get that format to you to have that free focus session. Just do something about your own eyesight and do something about your own vision of life. Everyone, take that advice.

do something about your own eyesight and your own vision of life. This is Dr. Tammy Patser. Go make it a beautiful day. Thanks for listening to Business Innovators Radio.
