when night falls and it is dark enough, alone in a pitch dark room, stuff appears before the open eyes.
thing is, after a few minutes in the dark, when i move my hands before my eyes, i can "see" my hands, not clearly but as fluxes in the otherwise constantly moving stream of faint shapes and flows.
if i turn on my phone screen even for a brief moment i am blinded for some time afterwards, before i can "see" again, not so much the case with lamps or the Sun.
the more i stay in the dark, the more accurately i can make out my hands, especially if they move before me. when not moving they are totally invisible. one of these or a bit of both is possibly the explanation:
1 the mind can change its vision under the "expectation" of seeing objects moving within the mind-created picture in front of the eyes(meaning its just a trick, but also implying we can visualize more than we realize; if the mind can create shapes, movement and light out of nothing when fully awake and with eyes open…), in this case both the background flows and the hand movement induced ones are totally mental constructs, but the interface between the two remains bizarre; another detail others might have noticed when doing the same thing is that i can see the movements clearer when i move my hands at the edges of my vision, right in front is not as clear.
2 we are somehow visible in the dark, meaning both the background flux and the hand movements are things seen by the senses and the mind in another dimension maybe?
the question would be: why are we so blind, when how and who blinded us thus? is our blindness a matter of mere daily sensory information distraction, or is there more?
also how can this vision be made useful? the more its done the better the vision becomes, generally the visions are vague, sometimes they are more specific
so far i have made out two types of such dark vision, completely different from A sight(what you see with your eyes all day long) and B reason(the thoughts you hear and images you imagine when thinking)
the first kind of visions is the
C the vague psychedelic flux, a sea of ever-changing shapes, last a long time, change slowly,
D sudden short burst of specific visions which contain far more meaning than the previous, are closer to dreams but you are awake throughout, D can be so quick you wonder whether you even saw anything, but that`s not always, i can describe a D type vision if anyone is interested
my question is how can this be made useful(information gathering?, contact?), and better controlled? how can this be used to help others/the species? to help the q operation? <i>i don`t want to be correct, i want to help</i>
all these visions aside i am a total (what a user above described as a) brick. none of this comes naturally to me, i have no history of it, only occurs under these circumstances. no drugs, no head injuries, no artistic skills/talents, no such family history, so far i can say the visions don`t improve with time, rather they are already there the moment you stay in the dark, but it is your vision that tunes to them, improves, like watching a Vermeer or listening to Bach. i would guess everyone is bathed in this background vision field, all it takes is to try focusing on it, the focus/clarity improving with time.
all i can say to the brick person, myself being one, is that if my opinion that, generally, bricks are stubborn is correct, using your stubbornness + platos aforementioned need for oxygen should get you there. i feel like we are born out of our mothers egg into an egg. the egg we are born into is more mental and the goal is to come out of it. this means nothing less than breaking the mind, like breaking an egg shell, but you have to be careful how you break it. break too fast and you die scorched in the sun`s rays, break too slow and you never did anything. careful and stubborn, hungry and foolish, craving and sated, festina lente
