description: To lose one's sight is a tremendous blow yet it is not the end of the world. Untapped resources can be mobilised new ways can be learnt to cope and to regain control. The brain is on constant call to compensate for the missing input to make sense of what there is to boost morale to stay in focus and to uphold one's humanity.In June 1951 Hungarian-born Zoltan Torey met with an industrial accident in Sydney that was forever to change his life. While attending to his night-shift job in a factory the plug exploded from the vat carrying battery acid above him showering him. The acid tore at his eyes and throat eating away his corneas and fusing his vocal cords. This once energetic vibrant twenty-one year old was left almost alone in a foreign land blinded and unable to speak above a whisper. No one thought he would survive.But Zoltan did survive and he responded to his tragedy in an unusual way - he decided to devote himself to helping solve the riddle of human consciousness. This would give him back his life as through mental techniques he learned to 'see' again and so could psychologically return to the world of light.This amazing uplifting and life-affirming book shows us what it is to open our eyes to life's possibilities.
