Instructions:
"Concentrate on the four dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 seconds. Then close your eyes and tilt your head back. Keep your eyes closed. In a few seconds you will see a circle of light. Continue looking at the circle and you will be amazed at what you'll see next.
After viewing the four dots a second time for 30 seconds, don't close your eyes but instead look at a white or light colored wall and the image will appear there, only larger than the one with your eyes closed.
Also for a really breathtaking and awesome view of this same image, take a hard copy version of this image outside and, just before the sun sets, look at the dots for 30 seconds and then look up into the sky and you will see a large picture. It is really awesome."
