Research Psychologist Proposes Solution to Meditation’s Perennial Problem of Wandering Minds
In Carol E. McMahon’s The Blindness Cure, the goal is to harness attention for fail-proof meditation
COLDEN, N.Y. – The Blindness Cure: How to Restore Awareness and Why You Need To, a new book by Carol E. McMahon with martial arts master Deac Cataldo, introduces a feedback meditation method – a fix, claims McMahon, for the wandering mind.
Meditation requires attention, says McMahon, but attention is hard to hold on to. Meditation, she says, needs a way to monitor attention, a way to see what the mind is doing. Her feedback method aims to provide that window. Using the method proposed in the book, attention is focused on the bull’s eye of a disc. This holds the eyes still, explains McMahon, keeping the image in the same place on the eye’s retina, using photo-pigment similar to exposing photographic film and creating visual distortion in the form of light. The light, McMahon asserts, is “feedback.” By seeing the light, McMahon claims people literally “attend to your attention” or “mind your mind.” The mystic light of enlightenment is explained as “receptor fatigue.” Put to use as feedback, she argues, it harnesses attention and assures success.
McMahon calls the outcome of this process a “blindness cure.” The “blindness” she describes is low awareness – a little known but universal problem that she believes keeps us from happiness. Self-tests for measuring awareness are included in this step-by-step guide. Full awareness, the author argues, is nothing less than highest enlightenment.
Master Deac Cataldo is the sixth and only living master in his martial arts lineage. His contribution to the book is his tradition’s wisdom, which has been passed down through the centuries and is now available to readers.
