Meditation x-ray vision

[FraterFraxinus]

So recently I started meditating with a blindfold and after some time (usually about 30min) I can somewhat "see" through the blindfold if I move my arms in front of my eyes. I tested also using a pillow and blanket, which i can also "see"/perceive. Not crisp but i can make out the contours. I also tested if the blindfolds might let a little light through to make that possible by shining a flashlight at my face and nope - no light passes that blindfold.

My working hypothesis is that I just hallucinate that sensation because I know that these things are there but it feels oddly real.

Anyone else has that happen or have any insights about that?

Over the last 10 years or so there has been a lot of news about blindfolded people being able to read, call out colors and objects from across the room and more. Simply search the Internet for "mindsight," "

", or "third eye" activation. You can even check out the extensive videos on YouTube regarding the Psi Games International for some pretty wild demonstrations of it.

Your eyes get accustomed to the lack of light and adjust to the relative amount of light afforded through the blindfold; they always yield some.

Try taping your eyes, then wearing two blindfolds.

Did you read the whole post?
I tried shining a flashlight directly at my eyes and no lights come through these blindfolds.

I went to a seminar and learned mindsight.Sharing some of what I learned. There's two flavors of it. 1) intuitive sight and 2) real time seeing beyond the blindfold. Biologically and Psychologically we tune into a different sense of seeing when our eyes are open versus closed. Lets shelf edge cases of high level mediators who can meditate with their eyes open but understand enough training allows you to manipulate this shift from one seeing to another. When your eyes are open behind a blackout mask you do pick up on very subtle light leakage and start to perceive things in real time from it (colors, motion, etc). For a beginner the more light leakage, the easier the practice is (training wheels). People at the psy games are the creme that rises to the top where they practiced alot and have natural abilities, can practically see everything with 0 or near 0 light leakage and may also pair it with intuitive site. Intuitive sight is a psychic sense, you have a feel of knowing or get impressions from your subconscious mind, when your eyes are closed. I don't think people would ride a bike or drive a car blindfolded with only intuitive site alone, but I reserve the right to stand corrected (psyonics supposedly pilot ufos without being in the cockpit using some advanced techniques adjacent to intuitive sight). Alternatively I don't think you would use real time seeing blindfolded to see something outside of your normal sight, like a needle in a haystack on the opposite side of a football field.
