), when I started to look at his brother...and his brother turned into a pig. That really tripped me out, and I started laughing to myself...]]>sometimes if i'm very high on marijuanna it can happen, too. i often see myself with one half being robot, the other like an ape. kind of like that terminator poster.
]]>I forgot all about it.
]]>Sometimes I almost feel like I'm being sucked into the mirror, my body starts vibrating, but I get scared and quit.
I don't want to end up like Alice in Wonderland.
]]> The opposite application of this gazing could be focusing on something in the outer world to bring about a transcendant state and also allowing one to see the wholeness of unity (1 and 0 unified, infinity) of the moment in the perfect illusion created by the Self in/of the moment. The present, a momentous occasion of infinite "proportions" of space and time, literally a gift of Self to self, if you will...or if you won't it could be seen instead as a disgusting perversion of "paradise" and used as catalyst toward a separative perception that limits the application of objective love in the light crafted creation but in the end gets you back on the "track" to unification. I find the former perception to be more encompassing than the latter (rebellion at the "misfortune" of our creation), with that increasing scope allowing for the possibility for a wholistically experienced, less alienated, and more efficient run towards unifying again to become One.When I first read the topic I immediately though of a related excerpt from the Law of One (Ra), book 1 where:
Questioner: [...] could
you state some of the practices or exercises to perform to produce an
acceleration toward the Law of One?
Ra: I am Ra.
Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and useable within your
illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this
illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously see that love in awareness
and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon
this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The
second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third
seeking empowers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third.
As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power
due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However,
the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central
an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is
inconsequential.
Exercise Two. The universe is one being. When a mind/body/spirit
complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator. This is
an helpful exercise.
Exercise Three. Gaze within a mirror. See the Creator.
Exercise Four. Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit
complex of each entity. See the Creator.
The foundation or prerequisite of these exercises is a predilection towards
what may be called meditation, contemplation, or prayer. With this
attitude, these exercises can be processed. Without it, the data will not sink
down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the
body and touching the spirit.
IM(h)O, practicing this attempted perception of unity whenever possible helps to elicit a chain reaction response creating a positive feedback loop of more effective and efficient "co-creation". You start to see more with light and to be the love in the moment.
What else is there but now anyway?
Anyone?......
]]>I used to do this on my own and was always suprised by what I saw-- an old woman, half-animal faces, men, etc. Years later, I took part in a metaphysical program where this was the first exercise we did for focusing our minds.
I still wonder what this is. Just tricks of the eye? Past lives? Attachments? I have no idea.
I've tried it and it gave me the creeps.
Back in my more carefree days I dropped acid and took mushrooms plenty of times and someone once suggested I stare at my face in the mirror whilst tripping...so I did and it wasn't a pleasant sight tongue It was funny when doing it with mates around and taking it in turns, but then I did it on my own once and it really freaked me out.
Yes, the same things happened to me. Just exactly the same scenario.
all the best,

A friend of mine did the same thing with a skull mask on. Not a good idea.. I've done it plenty of times, eventually just get used to looking in a mirror and seeing someone you swear isn't you.
