I recently watched a Netflix show called “A Wonderful Story of Hendry Sugar.”

The movie is directed by Wes Anderson and is based on a 1977 short story written by Roald Dahl. It follows the story of Henry Sugar, a wealthy man who discovers a journal that leads him to learn about a guru who can see without using his eyes. After mastering the same skill, Henry Sugar plans to use it to cheat at gambling, which leads to an unexpected existential crisis.

While the movie is mostly fictional, one character in the movie, Imdad Khan, was inspired by the true story of Pakistani mystic Kuda Bux, known as The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. Kuda Bux became famous for being able to see without using his eyes and performed magic tricks blindfolded with dough on his eye sockets and cotton or gauze covering them. He also ventured into more dangerous acts like walking along a ledge or firing a gun at a target chosen by a member of the audience.

The reality of being able to see without physical eyes.

This film brought back a memory from some time ago when I was in a classroom. The teacher instructed us to open a specific chapter in our books. A friend of mine, with whom I often discussed metaphysical topics, shared an interesting experience.

He wanted to attempt to “see” what was on the page of the book without physically opening it. Suddenly, an image of that page, along with the content of the first paragraph, appeared in his mind. He was astonished at how accurately this mental image matched the actual content of the page. However, the experience startled him, and it quickly faded away.

As human beings, we possess many unexplored aspects of ourselves that are continually eroded by modern lifestyles. When you think about it, most people have experienced premonitions and gut feelings that turn out to be surprisingly accurate. Unfortunately, we tend to dismiss them and never delve further into these experiences.

The ability to see without using one’s eyes is not a new concept. I first encountered it while practicing chi gong. The chi gong master explained that if a person’s energy meridians are open, they can perceive things without relying on their physical eyes. This is often referred to as the “celestial eye” or the third eye, which can reveal information on different levels. This means you could potentially have the ability like an X-ray vision, see things on alternate dimensions, observe distant objects, large and small items, and much more.

Remote viewing is no different because with remote viewing a person can perceive non-local objects, events and even people. The only difference is that while you are remote viewing, your perception is not as clear, unable to see the clarity in things such as reading.

After watching this movie, I realized the importance of maintaining a still mind. A focused mind can hold a single subject in its focus for an extended period, allowing clear mental images to form. In contrast, emotional turbulence, as seen in my friend’s experience, can distort and eventually erase these mental images. It’s like an image reflected on the surface of a pond — if you disturb the water, the image becomes distorted and disappears.

In conclusion, the ability to “see” without physical eyes is not merely a fictional concept. It’s a facet of our potential that often remains untapped. A focused, still mind can reveal astonishing abilities and insights that we typically overlook.

In fact, earlier this year, I came across an interview Between Dan Winters and Iris Huizing from the Netherlands, who is a children’s trainer guiding kids to “see” without their physical eyes. This demonstrates that exploring this capacity is within our reach.

Here is a demonstration of how kids were able to see without their physical eyes:
