sorry for posting late but can you please explain in a lot of detail how you start seeing through your eyelids like that? Do you focus on the blackness until you see shapes or what? What feelings go through you before you reach that stage? I'm really interested in figuring out how to see things liek that since I can project from that state once I start seeing my room behind my eyelids. *Did you feel paralysis or vibrations prior to or while in that state?*
I have been studying my OBEs for awhile, and vision in particular. Here is what I've discovered so far:
As I begin to gain visualisation, I see an outline of the things around me. As I "tune in", the details are filled in and the picture becomes clearer.
What I think happens is that our third eye percieves things in pieces: First it gets a view of an outline/shapes, then it gains detail. As it gains detail, it fills it in stage by stage until you have a whole picture. In other words, I start off seeing simple shapes, which turn into detailed objects.
This morning, I didn't tune in all the way. It made for some nice visual FX, which looked like something out of an 80's video. My room had this purple, glowing cast...it was pretty neat!
I also had some of the dream imagery overlapping my visualisation. As I focused, it began to fade away (although I don't think the experience lasted enough to go away comepletely).
I'll post more when I discover or think of it...
