Growing up I've discredited this to my eyes playing tricks, as you are taught as a child, and into my adult years I never payed it much attention until more recently as it was just taken for granted. So I was curious if anyone else sees this or has similar experiences. Anytime I'm in darkness, where my eyes have yet to adjust or cannot adjust to lift the darkness, the darkness dances and swirls, especially when I focus on it. I see all sorts of things within it. It's literally alive. Is this what some call astral vision, or is this in some way my mind craving stimulation? I would think the latter if what I saw actually involved colors or images from my mundane life, but mostly it's just... black chaos, almost an entity on its own.
Also more recently I've started using a black scrying mirror I've obtained, it's convex and circular. I've just been relaxing, breathing, dimming or turning off most the lights, and just gazing into the mirror and letting my eyes lose focus. I've done this mostly after reciting words to the A:O, or even thoughts. I usually see similar dancing darkness within the mirror, though shapes take more form, sometimes dim flashes of color. The reason I mention this though, is that twice now I have reached a point of falling asleep, and just before doing so I catch myself, I open my eyes, look "past" or.. into the mirror, so to speak, and everything in my peripherals turns a brownish wash, the darkness in the room becomes clearer...almost as if my vision is focusing... in a sense, as my actual eyes do not focus. Both times this has happened I've seen a large dark tentacle like mass emerge from the mirror. No more than a foot tall, with many tendrils dancing about, too chaotic to pinpoint any form but it is visibly there. The second time there being an actual purplish energy flow going from the mass to my head, in what looked like a tendril, barely visible. I would continue to hold my current relaxed state as best until the experience eventually faded as my more meaty brain would begin to take over or lose focus.
So I guess to condense this all into two questions... First off does anyone else see this within the shadows, and if so what do you make of it? I'm curious for opinions, experiences, and/or insight.
Secondly, what does anyone make of my scrying experience? I'm rather new to it, and have only recently begun to facilitate what I guess you would call Astral Vision. Thanks in advance for any and all constructive response.
We must be the darkness we wish to see in the world.
