Sorry if someone's already made a thread about this.

Well, for the past few months, I've been noticing strange things in my peripheral vision. Things moving, and most notably, flecks of different colored light. In the dark, the light isn't limited to my periph's, and I often find myself wondering if moon light is shining through my window or something. I know a few entities kinda follow me around, and I feel like I'm on the verge of seeing them. but it also kind of makes me feel like crazy--how is this different from hallucinating? If do start to see, will I not be able to go back to normal vision? It makes me think of the Ice King's "wizard eye" on Adventure Time--sometimes you see real things, other times you don't but you can't really tell and it is always crazy. On one hand, it is very tempting...

Does anyone else have experience with this or anything like it?

I'm starting to see auras. By your description you probably are steps ahead of me. My advice is: embrace it, and don't be afraid.

I'd recommend eye focusing exercises to help.
Trataka is a good one,it helps with softening focus and increasing peripheral awareness.

There are links scattered around the forum and other topics on similar experiences,I'll see if I can find one or the links from them,a bit later on..

Awakening the Third Eye by Samuel Sagan is good too.

Thanks guys, I'll look into both of them

Well, for the past few months, I've been noticing strange things in my peripheral vision.

Did you do anything to get them started? Did anything change in your life when they started?

I see blue lights mostly sometimes with white or white alone. It has been happening for a few months too. It started when I created many thoughtforms. I try not to pay too much attention to them since I can't get 100% confirmation that it's archangel Michael (blue) or Gabriel (white) but these angels hang around me apparently which I do have confirmation on.

I also have second body. That's when you get sensations in your body like muscle spasms, cooling, pressure or warming sensations. That one was kind of my fault since I told my thoughtforms or servitors to do it. I haven't paid attention to them for months but it's still at 10% of what it was back then.

I could do an exorcism ritual but I've grown used to it now. Also I don't know if an exorcism would work for my case. They rarely become bothersome. At one point I might use those exercises to fine tune things. For now I'm stuck trying to free my mind from suffering from mental illness.

Yes, absolutely. It's kind of hard to describe in a way that I think gives it enough weight, but I had the craziest LSD trip. I hadn't really more than a couple of hours a night in the past two nights, and on this third night at like 4 in the morning I dosed, from a coin flip. I made most my choices from flipping a coin for about two years. I had had that same acid in a higher dose before, but I think because it was the end of the vial I somehow got way more than two hits because I was tripping for like 36 hours. but really early on I fell into the shadow world for a minute and had no grip on reality, but I think that a tree reached out to me and pulled me back. I stopped flipping coins, and I realized I had to because that's how I was trying to decipher what was really happening. but that was only about an hour total of shit being out of the ordinary for acid (in my experience at least). I'm on the shaman path, and I consider it to have been a trial related to that.

It started before then, but it isn't a constant thing and it started happening way more frequently since then.

Well there's a lot going on there. I've done certain substances too but they didn't have that effect. I think you've awakened your third eye enough, time to stop the drugs [happy] . You could be seeing thoughtforms or external spirits. Unfortunately even Ιολη7 couldn't tell me what my blue lights were (and she's good). I saw other things too but most of them were from my mind superimposing an image on top of my vision like imagination. The blue lights arn't conscious for me.

Flipping a coin reminds me of Turanga Leela from Futurama (The Farnsworth Parabox). The Buddhists think fortune telling interferes with free will because it tends to make you think your future is set in stone. I used to do tarot readings for years and I don't think it served me too well. I gave it up when I joined the archangels... but it felt like an addiction when I decided to give it up. I've given up many addictions since then...

If you were in a shadow world, with no grip on reality, and no teacher to guide you then whatever it is you're seeing sounds like a nuisance. Probably some guardian angel or your own brain snapped you out of it but you're still vulnerable. What would I do? I would just map any of these visions to the archangels, especially Michael for protection... and I would do rituals to Michael everyday to protect me from those spirits... but this is not necessarily a shamanic path.

About that. I think the shamanic or Yaqui paths had a strong community of teachers that seems to be absent from urbanization and easy access to entheogens. It makes it too easy for somebody with good intentions to blow their minds and auras with these mind altering drugs. The shamans had elaborate rituals that they did before doing their "power plants" and it was a lot more complicated than going to a drug dealer and flipping a coin. Rituals is what puts order to magick and for drugs and power plants it limits the number of times and amount ingested. Without it you'll just go nuts.

Yeah, I have pretty much stopped doing drugs, I still smoke a little weed and drink though. And quitting coins was like an addiction, I still often consider it when I can't decide what to do but I haven't flipped a coin since April now. I'm honestly not familiar with the archangels other than Raziel, and I'm not sure how traditional our relationship is, but for the most part, I consider him to be my teacher. Really, since I've posted this, things have been happening a little less though. Or I've just adjusted to it...
