DOM evocations, staring at the seals

So just a general question…for those of you following the DOM system doing the evocations…do you ever take your gaze off the seal once you called the demon in? Or you stay gazing at it? I read all these stories of how people see this and that and I’m wondering do you close your eyes? Do you stare straight at the wall? Or the seal? I saw this black shadow coming around the seal as I kept gazing at Dantalion seal but nothing more. I was hoping to see him manifest like others see it but I’m wondering if it was just eye strain from staring at the seal so long…would that be considered a connection? I was using connective evocation ritual 2.
