Split Thread Scorpion's Spiritualism

Well I spent another half hour last night trying to open my third eye. Or to be more exact, trying to open my brow chakra so that I could channel vision from the latent senses of my astral or mental bodies.
What happened was this. I started out seeing some dots of light, then I started seeing swirling blobs of light one after the other. They were not very bright and had no form to them, but I figure it is progress, and I will continue to try again tonight.

Why do you believe this is progress towards your belief in the existence of a third eye instead of an indication of a more mundane phenomenon like phosphenes?

It is too early to tell if I will ever see anything more than swirling light, but I intend to persevere in the hope of eventually seeing into higher dimensions.

I mentioned that's what I get under the influence of codeine. I go you one better by actually seeing images or moving pictures.

Interesting, but I see nothing "spiritual" about allowing my visual cortex to create these illusions.

The default position is that its a physiological phenomena or just a product of imagination, or a dream state. No third eye or spirits required.

This does not answer my question at all, it indicates you being focused on your belief in a third eye, exclusively.

So again, why do you believe this is progress towards your belief in the existence of a third eye instead of an indication of a more mundane phenomenon like phosphenes?

It may not be anything meaningful at this stage, but seeing swirls is one better than just seeing dots of light.

I just got out my copy of Rudolph Steiners book.
" Knowledge of higher worlds how is it acheived?"

I have had a copy for several decades without really reading it, so now would be a good time.

This, again, also does not answer the question:
So yet again, why do you believe this is progress towards your belief in the existence of a third eye instead of an indication of a more mundane phenomenon like phosphenes?

I am assuming that sucess in seeing into higher planes, will bring with it evidence that they exist.

Such as?

I'm not trying to be difficult, Scorpion, it really is essential that you set success criteria in advance if you want meaningful results from your efforts.

If you don't it will be very easy to convince yourself that whatever actually happens is the evidence you seek, whilst to everyone not emotionally invested it seems utterly unremarkable.

It could be phosphones, or self hypnotic suggestion, or all kindsa stuff.
But it is also one step up on just seeing dots.

Ursula Roberts, the late spiritulist medium told us to look for a spot of light, and then try and expand it, as part of the process of developing seeing into higher worlds. That is what I am trying to do, so seeing something bigger than a dot is progress.

I don't know what would be evidence, because I have not seen anything meaningful yet.

Seeing something bigger than dots does not rule out phosphenes and certainly is not automatically indicative of progress towards your belief of seeing with a third eye.

Your belief rules out mundane options, for you.

In my estimation, you will continue to 'experiment' with attempting to see with your claimed third eye, claiming to get incremental (assisting in creating a sense of sincerity) better results as you go along until you claim a certain degree of success, while then claiming that your claimed successful attempt to see with your claimed third eye was documented in this thread.

All this, of course, without the tiniest shred of evidence.

How will you decide, if you do see something, whether or not it is evidence that you have succeeded in opening your third eye?

I was wondering that myself last night, while looking at swirly blobs.
