A few years ago I purchased the book Blindfolded Sight and Chi Generation by Robert Smith. Being a lazy bum I did a couple of excercises, and then forgot about it.
In the last few months though it’s slowly dawned on me that I can see physical objects even in the dark with my eyes closed. Not well, mind you, it’s like black on black. I’m lying in bed, having a bout of insomnia, and noticing that I can wave and rotate my hand in front of my face, eyes shut, and I can see it, a hand-shaped shadow in the black, as if my eyes were not shut and there was a hint of light to see. I can “look” around and see the hulking shapes of the furniture, and where the window is.
I suspect this change, while subtle, which is probably why it took me so long to notice it, is due to that tiny bit of work I did with this book.
So I want to get off my butt and put more effort into this, I’m digging out this book and working though it properly. I’ll update here if there are improvements and where I’m at.
Goals/questions
I really like the idea of not being blind in the dark.
I’m curious as to whether this way of seeing lets me see astral objects or entities, since it seems related to clairvoyance.
I wonder if this is an improvement in communication with my subconcious, in which case, does that have a knock-on effect to improve that in other ways, like clairaudience and better site contact in remote viewing?
The advanced work to read books without opening them is fascinating, if I get there I’ll really have impressed myself lol. I’d be happy to develop color vision though.
Book reference:
Update: I reread the book and it actually doesn’t tell you this, it just goes on about the possible applications and history, so actually I’m not going to recommend it as a primer.
Ok I found the original videos I watched a few years ago on youtube …
Boy driving around trees using blindfold sight.
This lady called Wendy Gallant has been training on blindfold sight a while - in one exercise she has a blindfold and colored cards. Her husband in another room took out one card at a time, and she with her back turned and t he blindfold on got each card color correct in turn.
The idea is to start with these colored cards and basically try to guess them, and keep trying and slowly the accuracy increases.
Note: I have to stop calling it blindsight as that’s now bringing up Neuralink info, which is not at all the same thing. I think the tech approach is the wrong direction, not just as a mage but for humanity as a whole - we should be teaching this stuff in school not developing us into the new Greys, imo.
That is such a great skill… If It can help people with blindness it it’s truly priceless.
Great find, I’ll be sure to look into it. Night vision sounds incredible!
This is included in the Indonesian martial art Merpati Putih (White Dove) which calls it “Vibration Awareness”. That art reminds us that images are created in the brain, as translations of EM waves. So the image exists in the conscious mind. As all objects radiate energy with their own unique qualities, and we are receptive to all energy, we can train the human senses to send info to the brain to translate these to images as well.
It trains the skill in 4 stages:
Environmental Detection (reminds me of the Remote Viewing Café exercise)
Mobility (moving around while blindfolded without bumping into things)
Color Detection (ok so that’s advanced)
“Expertise Stage” (refinement and more proficiency, I guess?)
The key is getting totally relaxed and getting out of your left brain. Also start with absolute blackout darkness.
Seminar here that’s a bit lengthy but linked to the time where Rob and Wendy explain their beginning training. They found a teacher, who told Wendy she couldn’t do it because she was too old (60+) - and she didn’t see anything but then after the initial weekend training spontaneously started to see colors anyway. So - I read that as anyone can learn this. But they do it together and there’s a telepathic element here. But it’s still possible to do an your own - apparently that’s harder.
My little attempts today so far are not doing it… have to keep trying.
New technique… first, you have to work on associating the energy of the color with the appearance of the color.
So now I have 4 Letter sized colored cards, red, blue, green and yellow.
Take each colored sheet in turn, and STARE at it, notice what a great color this is, so vibrant and interesting. Memorize what it looks like.
Shut your eyes, and remember what it looks like. Feel it there in front of you, and superimpose that memory of what it looks like on the feeling. Get those two totally associated with each other
If you lose the memory image if the color, open your eyes for a second then close them again.
Move the sheet around your head, still noticing the feeling, with the color memory, together.
Apparently it can take months to see the color with eyes shut, so keep trying.
I just did it and got 3 out of 4 right, but I feel like just having my eyes shut there was a bit of color coming through my eyelids, as these are really bright cards, so I’m fetching my blackout eye mask…
Well cool, got about a 50% rate.
The new technique on this part is, state the color then immediately peek and look… When wrong hat fixes the association of appearance to feeling, and when right is reinforces it.
What’s sort of annoying but sort of good is I can see vague shapes in the room. There’s a pale towel on a dark background across the room, and it’s in my vision so the picture isn’t only the cards. This seems like it’s supposed to be like that.
There are also areas of the room with higher contrast though, but they’re part of the furniture, so I wonder if I’m used to those, so, it’s the newness of the contrast that my subconscious can “see” better? I’m going to move that towel out of the way, take a break and do this exercise a couple more times today and see if I can get it up to 3 out of 4 consistently.
This is supposed to take months so maybe I got lucky. But I do do qigong and people with higher energy training are supposed to get this easier - women can do it easier than men and children wsiuer than adults, and I’m an older woman, soooo… I guess, we’ll see.
But they do it together and there’s a telepathic element here. But it’s still possible to do an your own - apparently that’s harder.
