You are welcome, Free Spirit

And a "Pillar of Light" pic in honor of Your Post # 111...
Times(and me and you), are a changin' to pillars of light!

Imagine the light within each of us reaching to the heavens,
just like that, beautiful!

Here is another link to a more "americanized" kind of discussion and outlay of the safe approach of starting a personal solar healing meditation process:

Good info and writings and connections on this site for any personal research you wish to get to on this matter that had been pretty well hidden from us in the western world up until the last few years for the most part, imho.

Great Newer Book On This,  "The Earth Was Flat"  by M. H. Dwinell:

...
There were some cultures where you could get imprisoned for staring at the sun (only certain priests were allowed to sungaze).

...

For centuries, people and researchers believed that it was impossible for human beings to live their lives without sustenance, and that their vision would be destroyed by looking straight at the sun. Based on science, human eyes are not strong enough to resist the damage of direct sunlight while the human body has a natural cycle of hunger that has to be curbed. But for author Mason Howe Dwinell, people can overcome such obstacles and even achieve the impossible. These he elaborates deeply in his groundbreaking book titled:
"The Earth Was Flat: Insight into the Ancient Practice of Sungazing."

The sunrise and sunset colors have been simply glorious lately...wonderfully mesmerizing for me.
Last nite's western/southern sky during the hour after sunset was lit up with the most awe-inspiring shades of blue and aqua and rose and mauve and velvet and indigo and...well...these pictures I found are close, if You blend them all together!  
The feel of creative and loving energy beyond description IS with Us!

That is the most beautiful picture I've seen.

I was worried because I'm either sleeping or working (working late and overnight shifts) but I found that during the sunset my job allowed me access to the roof or the top of the parking garage. I was also worried because I wouldn't be on bare ground but instead concrete.

I started out slowly and with eyes closed only. I eventually opened them and increased the time even more.

Aside from what seemed to be a boost of positive energy and happiness I noticed that I wasn't seeing "floaters" anymore. The eye doctor says that most people get them as they get older (I'm only 24) but that they're pieces of protien that break of in the back of your eye. They aren't doing anything more than floating around in the fluid around your eye. What I noticed is that after gazing for a few weeks there were fewer of them. I also had, what seemed to be, a little better vision at night. Before I had a new job that prevented any gazing the protien "floaters" had disappeared 100%!!

Hopefully soon I can start taking part in the sun again, and hopefully move to a location where it's not hiding all winter.

Is anyone from Florida (any area) part of (or just aware of) a sun gazing group, or interested in starting one?

I know somebody who actually met this guy. Apparently he's the real deal.  *shrug* my intuitive mind says to believe it, but my scientific mind is having quite the hard time.

As far as mana or prana goes, I have physically seen this for years.  They are like little translucent squigglies that pop around in the sky.  There are definitely more of them around when the sun is out.  I once read that this was the first stages of 'etheric vision'.

Or it could be this ; )

And by the way, you all can gaze at me anytime you want...

Ahhhhhh...Wonderful, Wonderful : )

The birds at my home doing early morning feeding seem to weave towards me and in front of me and then away in a musical flow...a beautiful thing when I am enjoying the sunrise near them.
