Black mirror

[Nomesb69]

Recently discovered black mirror scrying. I tried it for the first time and it was really interesting. I saw my face change into many different human faces even of different ethnic origins. I also saw some human animal type hybrid faces along with a deffinate alien origins. What I like about the scrying is I can actually see this with my physical eyes not my minds eye. But the question is who or what were those faces in my black mirror ? They would constantly change, could only hold onto them for seconds before the next would appear.

Interesting... after reading up on this it sounds like meditation with eyes open and focused on the scrying mirror. Instead of seeing images directly generated by the third eye, you're assisted by optical illusion.

More or less I guess so. You do enter a trance like state. I'm not sure I agree what you see is an illusion though. What I saw was very real to me. I can not prove that anymore than what you see with your minds eye is your imagination rather than given information. I will definitely be working with this tool along with traditional mediation. I believe scrying will work more along with your clairvoyant abilities since it's visual.

Well I meant "assisted by optical illusion" as in your third eye plays off what you're physically seeing. I didn't imply your experience wasn't valid.

Did you find it any easier to get into trance with the mirror compared to more traditional means?

Ah I got ya. No not really. Wasn't easy or harder. I did find I sent about an hour and half but seemed like a lot less.

I find concave scrying mirrors facilitate trance induction quite well.  Convex mirrors on the other hand (which would be an obsidian crystal ball in most cases) make focusing more difficult for me.  Don't know why.

Chances are you are aware of the implications of 'collection' vs. 'scattering'.  Just a thought.

I am indeed.  I live by the moons (new moon collection/full moon scatter).
