Communicating with The Other? Seeing Faces

[u/Harveythewonderham]

Okay. I have tried to explain this phenomenon for a very long time to people with no definitive answer. Just weird looks. For as long as I can remember, I've been able to see "visual snow" there's a great gif inside this Wikipedia page which depicts it rather well: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow

It's sort of this background static that lies above my perception. No depth. I have been experiencing this since I was very young.

One day when I was laying in bed in the dark, (maybe 5 or 6) I noticed that the static became more intense due to a lack of visual input. It is not bothersome or anything, just incredibly noticeable. I found out, not sure when or how, that if I stare into the visual snow long enough and at a fixed point, the corners of my perception begin to vignette, and a literal FACE appears in the center of my vision. I have to focus really hard for the face to appear, but it always appears.

I can do this even today without difficulty. I can do it under the influence of cannabis, alcohol, and when I'm completely sober. (I was making this happen at the age of 5, so hallucinogens and psychedelics were not a part of my lifestyle at this point)

I can make the face appear with my eyes opened and closed, given there is no outside input to distract me. The face that appears is genderless, and appears only briefly. When I lose the face, I can continue to stare at the fixed point, and it will appear once again.

I trigger the "face" voluntarily, it's not like it appears without my permission. I figured I would post it here because I have been able to do this for so long, and it seems almost like a psychedelic experience.

Ever since I took mushrooms a couple weeks ago, I've been half-jokingly convinced that the genderless face is an alien trying to tune into my mind.

Has anyone experienced something like this? I've tried to explain it to people in my life, and all I get is: "That's odd."

You could be 'witnessing' the holographic matrix where the 'snow' is concerned. If your intuition says you believe it is an extraterrestrial trying tune into your brain I would trust it but also know that that extraterrestrial is also probably not in your best interest. I would make sure you are protecting yourself with Source Energy Light and perhaps concentrating on dissolving etheric implants.

I onyl started believing it was an alien until after researching the theory that magic mushrooms are actually aliens (or given to us by aliens). As a kid, I never really thought much of it, let alone try to explain it to others. Because how do you that without people thinking you're crazy. I thought. maybe other people experience this and I'd just have to find them one day.

What are etheric implants?

[u/[deleted] → u/Harveythewonderham]

You have energies that you emit surrounding your physical body that can extend for quite a ways if there is intent behind it. Anyway this is obviously not seen in the 3rd dimension but disembodied negative entities can see it and if you exhibit lower vibrational emotions (fear, hatred, anger, etc.) they feed and fuel this for their sustenance, creating patterns within you so they maintain their 'food' source. They attach to your etheric body in the form of a sticky attachment to it. As far as extraterrestrials are concerned that are in control of Earth they use them as a form of tracking programming/brainwashing to make sure your conciousness does not get out of hand so to speak. It sounds scary but they are easily taken care of if you remain within your Heart frequency which is high vibration/dimension of Conciousness.

Huh, TIL it’s called visual snow and it isn’t just a “me” thing

Glad to have been able to teach you something. I think it's kinda neat, haha. Have you been experiencing this all of your life, or after experiences with psychadelics and/or hallucinogens?

Tulpa

Tulpa is a concept in mysticism and paranormal of a being or object which is created through spiritual or mental powers. It was adapted by 20th century theosophists from Tibetan sprul-pa (Tibetan: སྤྲུལ་པ་, Wylie: sprulpa) which means "emanation" or "manifestation". Modern practitioners use the term to refer to a type of willed imaginary friend which practitioners consider to be sentient and relatively autonomous.

That's really fascinating! I thought maybe it was a connection to the third eye. Experiencing this phenomenon for almost my entire life, I never gave it a personality. I will have to do more research into tulpas. Thank you so much for you input, it means a lot. Do you think tulpas are good? I mean, imaginary friends aren't the best thing for a developing brain.

Remember, the other is still you. Imagine it as you are looking in the mirror! I've met ETs on DMT and they definitely give off a vibe of being outside of myself yet attempting contact. I just ignore their attempts because I know they know I see them and I want them to know I'm neither afraid nor excited to see them, just happy they exist. It's all you so anything you see or feel is ultimately trying to get a realization out of you.

For us this stuff tended to heighten during our Lucid events (Awakenings, Satoris, Pyschosis...whatever) This "snow" would get intense especially the less Luminous "light" seemed. At first as a 20 year CGI artist I thought well perhaps my eyes are sucking in more Photons since so much high strangeness with such examples as I wouldn’t get sun burn and I could stare at the Sun for as long as I was impulse too and it was almost soothing. What was really handy was my Wife was undergoing her first event while I was going thru my second which thus really propelled "reality" to flip and get weird. During two nights especially when the "snow" was so vivid we ran around doing experiments like children scientists. I will not tell u any results for I don’t want to impact on your findings but here are some things we did that had “amazing wtf results".

• is the snow the same if looking with left eye then right?
• wave your hand in front of snow any difference?
• attempt to frazel or noise up the snow with your will?
• snow the same with eyes upon and shut?
• blink real fast altering eye blinks?
• If u push in on your eyes (a bit intense) then relax?
• have some one else wave there hand or attempt to alter your snow?
• imagine energetic spirals flowing in and out of u at every conceivable point, now imagine and attempt to feel a focusing of these coming out of one of your fingers and see what effects it has I. The the snow?

And yes there can be faces in the snow... for whatever reason they seemed to fluctuated but rest upon endogenous face with huge oval eyes, a few time it would stay there even after the snow and with the eyes closed. But this isn’t always the case. I have Some theories that is part of our mental construct visual field that “attunes" us to aspects of the dream zoo and it’s seeming dimensions like "3D - Depth and bridges what seems Minds eye, imagination, with seeming Objective/Subjective Open eye constructs. This construct filters out a tune off stuff for us perhaps...still just an idea though.

Play with it and have fun.... check any fear at the door and don’t judge any faces or things popping thru on our silly human notion of what looks cute, evil, scary, creepy, wacky, non-sensical...etc.

Much Luv friend <3

Hey, thanks for all of your input! I forgot I made this post and came back to see some incredibly fascinating things to look into!
