I'm really not sure what this would indicate, or if it even has anything psychic about it, but I've noticed a things and was wondering if anyone had some insight. Ever since I can remember, with a brief lapse around a year ago, whenever I would go lay down to go to sleep, and had my eyes closed, I would see very bright, vivid lights and dots, that would usually swirl around playfully. I never really thought anything of it, other than I sort of considered them the gateway to the dream world when I was younger, as they would get more vivid and sharp the further along I drifted to sleep. Lately though, I've noticed that when I lay in my bed, I don't even have to close my eyes anymore. And instead of just lights and dots, now they are shapes and forms composed of lights and dots. The interesting thing about it is that when I am just in a pure state of relaxation, they just sort of flow around and follow my thoughts. However, when I concentrate on a person, they flow into a a stream of images before they seem to burn out. These images are always seemingly random, but they always feel as they have some sort of significance towards whatever person I was establishing a link to. Any thoughts.
I remember this sight as a child but lost it as I grew older. About 2 years ago, I suddenly developed this sight again (or maybe just realized it). Anyways, I believe it is the third eye. Do you see geometric figures? During certain instances I'd receive geometric symbols in this vision. I believe it is the inner eye, or third eye for that matter. I am sure this sight can be developed and has potential. You can even partition this sight into quadrants, and have the energy (it looks like energy) flow from one spot to the next - counter clockwise, clockwise, diagonally, swirling, whatever you wish really. Perhaps it is the bridge to the unconscious?
it's kind of hard to tell what these visuals are in just normal waking concioussness take a good hit of weed, not so much that it'll make your heart beat faster, just borderline on increased heartbeat then put in ear plugs and lay down in a dark room, listen to yourself breathing, breathe slowly and rhythmically, try to feel the oxygen absorb from your lungs and dissipate through your whole body in this rhythm the visuals will intensify, you'll zoom in sort of, watch the visuals form, it's the source of all our knowledge I personally think it wants to be drawn
Some paths are more unique than others. I would say that this path is unique to your experience, though I could be wrong. In that case, the only course would be to focus your awareness on this phenomenon, and ask the universe for understanding and insight. This is the only thing I'm sure of.
Oh, I know it's the third eye also. My main wondering was just if the images I perceive have any relation to the thoughts/persons I am currently experiencing. I don't see geometric figures. Everything is highly fluid; as soon as I usually make out an image, it will instantly swirl into something new. I want to use the word organic, but it doesn't always have an organic quality to it, yet it always does. It's really rather hard to describe. It's hard to do it for sustained periods also. The longer I do this, the more the blackness surrounding me gradually fades into white light, until I can no longer make anything out and I have to look away. Nice to see you around again though, Bl4ck3n3D.
!! I always passed this off as the sort of blotches you see after looking at a bright light!! Interesting..
As you say, that is just an afterimage effect of when you stare at something too bright for too long. That isn't really what I'm talking about. What I attempted to describe isn't reliant on any light at all, it seems as the light is just created by itself. Perhaps it's a manifestation of the energy of the third eye. Also, it seem as if shadows are just as important as the light. I've noticed that whatever the light is doing, simultaneously the negative space that is occupied by shadow simultaneously is forming and weaving images and forms.
I've read a bit about Aether on wikipedia, which chiefly concerns itself with telling of the history of the concept of Aether, so I guess it wasn't the best source, and therefor, I don't really understand Aether in a metaphysical or spiritual sense. Anyone want to fill me in?
I would take your advice, but weed seems more often than not to disagree with me. I messaged you about it almost a year ago if you remember. I never really challenged myself to discover the why or how behind the phenomenon; (I prefer not to spend almost a month with unbearble migraines that push my thoughts toward the suicidal variety ) Either way, I've never really been a fan of having to rely on drugs to experience or even maximize spiritual/energetic experiences, so I'm not sure using weed in this case, even if it so happens to be to my advantage, would really be up my alley.
All the better if you can acheive the same results without the entheogen. I know what you mean though. Whenever I stare at something for even 10 or 15 seconds, light and darkness seem to waver. Shadows recoil and advance, and light seems to appear out of nowhere. It isn't reflected off a surface, but it seems like a block of light in mid-air. I notice it more when I stare at something like my hand on a desk, but I think that has to do with Auras.
Drugs opened the door for me, and eventually I accomplished similar experiences without drugs. But it took a lot of years. I would say: Try to connect with your innermost desires, and decide if and when it's time to jettison the drugs. Drugs aren't in and of themselves good or bad -merely helpful or unhelpful. Discard societal judgments, and decide what it is YOU need, right now, always now.
Oh, I see. Ya I have a tendency to get a bit free-wielding with marijuana as I think of it almost like a vitamin. I smoke to get rid of chronic headaches, it's an essential thing for me. But I always use it for meditation. You can get pretty far back into an LSD-esque headspace with proper intention, a pitch black room, focused breathing and a good bong rip. And it's only ever in that state of mind that I really have epiphanies about the nature of the visuals. From time to time it happens sober, but marijuana I see as just kind of like pushing the accelerator of it. I can tell you though, from my experience. You do go through flows of imagery out of your control. Alot of imagery out of your control. The relevance of this imagery is completely up to your deciding, sometimes you do get into places that are just far to abstract, far too foreign, it wouldn't be ideal to apply logistics to them. it's because of that typically I think it's better to develop a means to navigate it, rather than a means to cognize it. Because what matters more I think is not what you cognized, but rather what mood and state of mind you can manage to navigate into and secure for yourself. You can will some alterations to visuals, and this comes in the most oddest of ways. Like when you operate in this place, your running on 100% pure irrationality, intuitional thought flow. Like for instance, I get into a certain headspace that looks kinda of like a faberge egg on the inside, I can't so much control the form or the patterns, but there are spots within the pattern that I find by focusing on, I can change the color of them. Then in changing these subtle colors of things, I completely change my mood and predisposition to this headspace and can navigate through it, or stay in it. To really navigate visuals, I personally think, I may be completely wrong here, I'm just going off the people I've met and my experience. But I think to learn to navigate internal visual realms you must learn to draw. I always have a sketchbook with me in my pocket, I hold it as close to me as a cell phone wherever I go. I always sketch in it during times when I need to focus, control myself, calm down, whatever. Because of that, this drawing habit is deeply ingrained in my psyche, and when I go into visual headspaces in meditation, there is always a portion of it that I can sort of draw on. This offers some ability to navigate it. Now so far I haven't found the ability to change and control it completely. The rooms you sort of psychically inhabit still flow with something else, the entities do as well. But I can generally control my own mood through these things by controlling a small portion of the visual spaces shapes and colors. From time to time if I REALLY want to see something, and I mean you gotta have alot of will to do this, its maybe like few times a month thing for me. But in that space I can sort of push through into a blank slate and then project what I want to see. Whole visuals forms, structures, whatever. But like I said this takes alot of focus and will... although maybe with practice it could get easier
Meditation sometimes reveals pulsing energy to me well thats how it appears, like green orbs and stuff :tongue:
