The Minds Eye

[Ta_alos]

Good morning!
        I've been closely studying Roberts Book... Astral Dynamics.... I've been focusing on the lessons between CH 15 and CH 17(201 -234)... They have to do with relaxing, calming the mind and entering trance.  
       Basically, I work nights.  The commute to work is about 1 hr 45 minutes one way.  1.5 hours of that is spent on a bus. I've gotten in the habit of adopting a well balanced relaxed posture and meditating most days in various states of consiousness for at least 1 hr and 20 minutes of that....
       Lately I've been getting crystal clear imagines in my minds eye... At first they were glimpses... now they are lasting like 3 - 5 seconds....  I'm sensing a forward progression.  Have any of you had a scenario where your minds eye has started to grow and develope??? If so.. what can I expect from continued practice??

I don't believe I can help you much here, but I'd still like to put what I have once experienced.  Once, I had this impressive morphing between many people's head.  In short, I saw the face of someone and the face was incredibly detailed (very realistic for the mind I would say) and the face eventually morphed into some other face and this went on and on for a bit.  It was interesting to see the many faces that came out of this and I was surprised to say the least at the amount of detail/realism of the faces.

i too have had experiences with this, once i saw Freddy from nightmare on elm street and once i saw Jason. then there was a time i saw a demon that was a man with a steel mask on. but anyways i am also interested in this. they (the visions) last a while with practice and it seems to help with visualization.  eventually, they pictures can be formed by thought and with more resolution than normal thought pictures. it is very helpful in meditations, instead of thinking its like you actually see it. its very hard to explain and you have to experience it to know what i mean.

Sometimes when I'm both tired and energized while I close my eyes in bed I can see faces and stuff in the darkness of my eyelids that constantly morph once they come into focus after pulling them from the flickers of images morphed into memories of things you haven't even seen.

I don't think it's necessarily Mind's Eye though people, it's probably just our imaginations, sort of like how people saw the devil in the world trade centre smoke and the virgin Mary's face in a waffle. Our minds are trained to see faces in things, they did a study on that once.

Real Mind's Eye stuff should have some way of proving itself real by comparison to tangible physical things or facts we can check. Otherwise there's no way to tell it isn't delusion.
