      Do you experience this when you look at your hands in darkness?

      Had this strange visualization thing happen. So I am just sitting in the dark with my hands infront of me and just focusing between them, after a minute a black spot appears, a few seconds later my entire vision gets engulfed by darkness, well not exactly darkness because there are crazy looking lines and patterns I see but the point is I no longer see the physical world anymore, just these crazy patterns in the darkness. If I move my eyes or head the darkness vanishes and I see normally again. Its pretty interesting. I would like to point out that my eyes did not close at all. So has anyone experienced this?

      Did the crazy lines look a lot like chicken wire fencing?

      chicken wire fencing? no not at all. Just random patterns and colors. Its like I was seeing hypnogogic imagery with my eyes open after focusing for a minute

      Interesting, it seems like you shifted in consciousness for just a split second. Maybe the same happened to me? It could just be some sort of hypnogogic imagery while my eyes are open

      yeah i do this all the time. My ceiling is covered in glowing the dark shapes(childish i know) and if i stare in one spot for no more than 10 seconds, everything would be pitch black.

      not a shift in conciousness just vision being cut out.

      Very interesting. Can you manipulate this purple color. Like morph it into a purple object?

      There is such a thing as a blind spot. It occurs when you look at something too intently, probably caused by some eye physical properties. In darkness it translates to total darkness.

      I can see sort of an invisible halo around hands or fingers, though, if I look closely. Not sure what sort of effect this is, learnt to see it in childhood when trying to see auras. Expected colorful sphere around human being, ended up with a small transparent halo (about 2mm only).

      And then there are many eye effects, like eye floaters and tiny colorful particles. That's you watching your own eye functioning on the inside. Not exactly paranormal, but I guess that's a start, if you want to see something you've never noticed before.

      A tunnel is also a normal effect. If you stare at something in darkness or when you're relaxed, instead of a blind spot you could start seeing one or two colours, as a tunnel in front of you or as a spot of that color. That effect has a name, but I forgot it.

      When I first hit your link "it" (the whole article) was there. I didn't copy the bit I liked.

      Now I clicked your link and only see the begining of the article (teaser) the the message that I can join for free to read the rest of the article.

      With-hope I went to the bookmark I made on this phone. Same Dumb Deal.

      SHIT (!!!)

      I don't like signing up endlessly to crap. I always forget my password.

      Ha! I outsmarted that “sign-in for free to read the article” thingy.

      I am at an Internet Café and as I was logging on to a computer a got a Thrill that communicated,

      “don’t log-on at dreamviews”

      I flashed back

      “why?”

      Thrill, thrilled

      “Open dreamviews from Google. Don’t sign in. come to the post with the link to that article and see if it will open without telling you to sign-in for free to read all of article.”

      Clever, Thrill (!!!) here is the whole article that I feel is worthy of all you guys attention:

      Soul Travel – the best way to succeed with soul travel

      By E.A. Koetting

      What if you could be anywhere you wanted, in the blink of an eye? Where would you go?

      You can go there, now

      You can go there, now. You don’t have to buy tickets or get in your car and drive.
      All you have to do is settle into a chair, get comfortable, and move across the world in a spiritual body.

      Words like, “Astral Projection,” and “Out of Body Experience” have been buzzing in the spiritual culture for the last ten to twenty years, but none of this is new.
      In fact, the ancient prophets, sorcerers, and spiritual masters practiced and taught various methods of traveling outside of the body.

      I’ve studied all of those methods. I’ve practiced all of those methods. I’ve dissected them from the inside out, found out what works and what doesn’t work, and I’ve developed a guaranteed system that works every time.
      I call this system, “Soul Travel.”

      Soul Travel differs from Astral Projection in that astral projection only takes you to the astral plane, which is only one of countless planes of spiritual existence.
      Soul Travel instead allows you to travel WITHOUT LIMITS into any plane or state that you desire.

      Soul Travel differs from an Out of Body Experience in that Soul Travel is completely UNDER YOUR CONTROL.

      You never have to be afraid of not getting back into your body, or of getting lost in the ethereal worlds. The system of Soul Travel is flawless.

      So, how can you Soul Travel, RIGHT NOW?

      1.) I want you to look up away from this page and at your wall. Actually, I want you to look at the line where your wall and your ceiling connect.
      Your eyes are going to automatically focus in on that point, bringing your vision of it into clarity. I want you to relax your mind, and relax your eyes, and “pull back” your depth of vision about a foot or two.

      With Soul Travel you can lift the veil between the Physical World and the Spirit World.
      You can do this by imagining that there is a sheet of glass or transparent plastic a foot or two away from that corner, separating you from the wall and the ceiling. Pretend that you are looking at that sheet of glass or plastic.
      Your depth of vision will automatically adjust, and the line between the ceiling and the wall will blur.

      2.) Maintain your focus on that imaginary sheet of glass, and after only [b]a couple of minutes,[b] you’ll start to see something amazing:

      The veil between the spiritual world and the physical world will be lifted.
      At first, you’ll see what I call “Static Rain.” It basically looks like tiny droplets of shimmering rain are frozen in the air in front of you. This visual phenomenon will increase until you see static all around you.

      You may find yourself feeling a bit dizzy, lightheaded, or off-balance. This is a sign of your success! Your brainwaves are moving from conscious activity into a sort of super-consciousness.

      3. It is at this point that, as long as you keep your vision unfocused and your brainwaves in super-conscious Theta state, you’ll be able to stand up out of your body and move across the room.

      This needs to be done with an exhalation. As you breathe out, move out.
      Once you’re out of your body, go to that place that you said you wanted to go.

      4. When you come back, do it again, and go somewhere new.
      You can even go beyond the physical world, into worlds of spirit. You can mingle with the angels, demons, even the gods.

      All you have to do is settle into a chair, get comfortable, and move across the world, or across the universe, or beyond space and time, in a spiritual body.

      You can start using these simple steps to Soul Travel RIGHT NOW!

      In my e-book, Become a Living God, I give even more secrets and methods on how you can experience the most intense, profound, and lifechanging travels outside of your body, and how to actually use this secret science to improve yourself, your relationships, your knowledge, and your life!

      If you're still wondering, what you're experiencing happens because of an afterimage. Staring at something produces an image of inverted colours and in low-light conditions the two images cancel each other out. I've experienced it myself. As for the patterns/colours you're seeing, that's because of sensory deprivation.

      I do this a lot. I will just stare at something until everything disappears. Very good time for visualization. I started doing this when I was in church when I was little, now that I am older I listen in church . When it is dark I don't need to do it because there is nothing else and I can visualize just fine.
