Hi!A couple of weeks ago, I tried to start opening my vision with the help of meditation on the tattvas (as they did in the golden dawn).After about 5 minutes, I began to notice that the red triangle (tattva tejas) begins to have something like a shadow, which after a while begins to glow. At that moment, that was all, by the way, I practiced like this every day.Then, with the help of my physical eyes, after some concentration, I learned to see my etheric body (it looks like gray smoke). A few days later, while sitting in class at the university, I began to look at thewindow and into my field of vision the faces of my classmates and I began to see how they breathes, it’s like how to blow gas out of a lighter.By the way, after all this, I tried to summon spirits into a triangle, but looking with my physical eyes, I didn’t notice anything except a change in the behavior of the smoke from the incense.I doubt if these visions are real or if I’ve contracted psychosis or something, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.If this is how the third eye really opens, then what exercises do you recommend to improve your spiritual vision?
I’m not sure what the exercise is but I can recognize the early signs of a sigil activation by gazing into it, what happens is basically the pattern you gaze upon imprinting on your retina and by moving sligthly of center it creates a shadow, by doing it more like you mentioned it then start glowing and then distort in multiple different ways, some lines can appear and disappear, some can wiggle or stop being straight, the symbol can start floating or rotating, that’s around when the sigil is fully charged and a connexion is made, try to imagine the sigil being a tv/screen and whatever you’re contacting hiding behind it, you might also experience some feelings like cold or warm air coming from it.
The best and easiest result I’ve had physically trying to evoke a spirit via mirror and candle and sigil and enn chanting was Ladilok, after a few minutes the candle flame and incense smoke both bent to the left in a really odd way and it felt like they both got stuck in time and totally stopped moving, more often than not it’s mind’s eye and “physical sensations” that will tell you if something’s here or not.
It always start that way, there’s also the brain’s tendency to forget what you thought for sure are sure results at first and make you doubt everything even if you for sure felt some odd spirit touch or heard a voice at X or Y point in time, only by keeping at it and being analytical of what’s normal for you and not can you start building experience and progress, that’s why a lot of people keep a journal too so they can look back on specific moments without forgetting etc, I won’t lie this is a long and harduous path and you’re going to doubt your sanity and the sanity of others a whole lot but the more you get into it the stranger it gets, I must warn you that it’s not easy and might be really frightening too at time because not everyone and everything out there has your best interest at heart either, learn protective magick asap because the deeper you get into it the more the chances of something nasty happening.
There’s videos of energy channeling to help your progress, the spirits themselves might speed up your process by a lot by opening and working on your chakras themselves and then learning how to differentiate between what your mind produce as a brainrot slop and then things that have real meaning, if anything don’t forget to spend time meditating and trying to feel energies.
That’s the best advices I can give you because I can feel from your post you’re serious about your practice, everyone’s path is different and we can only experiment with what works, what doesn’t, what made sense back then, what does now and find our own answers, if anything try to find a patron/matron deity and establish a relationship with them, not only can they protect you they can also greatly speed up your develpment process too and possibly bring other results in a more material or occult way, good luck and don’t be ashamed to take breaks or the time to ground yourself back to a more normal and regular life, reading books and grimoires of course also help, focus on what others recommend a lot everywhere that I would consider the basics like the ars goetia, evoking eternity, protection and reversal magick etc.
Quote from the Demonolater’s Handbook I absolutely fucking loved:
In Gaap’s words – “just because you’re blind, deaf and
touch insensitive, it does not mean that we don’t hear you”.
Of course this is all my own personnal and subjective advice, so take it with a grain of salt and welcome.
