An afterimage is a non-specific term that refers to an image continuing to appear in one's vision after the exposure to the original image has ceased. An afterimage may be a normal phenomenon (physiological afterimage) or may be pathological (palinopsia). Illusory palinopsia may be a pathological exaggeration of physiological afterimages. The remainder of this article refers to physiological afterimages. A common physiological afterimage is the dim area that seems to float before one's eyes after briefly looking into a light source, such as a camera flash.
Negative afterimages are caused when the eye's photoreceptors, primarily known as rods and cones, adapt to overstimulation and lose sensitivity. Newer evidence suggests there is cortical contribution as well. Normally, the overstimulating image is moved to a fresh area of the retina with small eye movements known as microsaccades. However, if the image is large or the eye remains too steady, these small movements are not enough to keep the image constantly moving to fresh parts of the retina. The photoreceptors that are constantly exposed to the same stimulus will eventually exhaust their supply of photopigment, resulting in a decrease in signal to the brain. This phenomenon can be seen when moving from a bright environment to a dim one, like walking indoors on a bright snowy day. These effects are accompanied by neural adaptations in the occipital lobe of the brain that function similar to color balance adjustments in photography. These adaptations attempt to keep vision consistent in dynamic lighting. Viewing a uniform background while these adaptations are still occurring will allow an individual to see the after image because localized areas of vision are still being processed by the brain using adaptations that are no longer needed.

I know that you're searching, I know that you're seeking something Can you feel me now? I know that you're searching, I know that you're seeking something so far from my reach I hope you realize though we are lost, we are not alone Together we'll be searching and answers will surely come You're so far from my reach and I'd give anything to return to way we used to be Losing everything made me see clearly I’m willing to forfeit all that I am so that I may be with you again (You again) You knew you'd find me here It took me losing sight to count it all as a loss I...

I know I am lost These dreams are reoccurring I know I am lost (I am lost) In reverie of your sentiment you drew me out I was hoping that you’d follow suit until the day that I cease to exist. Unt...

A promise since before the world began
And this wil be Your
New kingdom of perfection
The inheritance of eternal life
From His fingers
A new heaven and earth
The old is lost and forgotten
No more will the walls echo with weeping
Will death have strength over life
Rest comes for those who dwell on the mountain
For theirs is the protected place
The old order will be dismantled
A promise since before the world began
And this will be Your
New kingdom of perfection
The inheritence of eternal life
Never again will a child live only a few days
Decendants will live with their elders
And he who sees a hundred years
Will be youthful
The old order will be dismantled
Abolishment of human nature
Free from death, suffering, and sin
God help the souls of those who
Exclude you because of His name
And will sit outside the gates
