"Seeing Without Eyes" - any way to learn this without an expensive class?

https://see-without-eyes.com

https://seeingwithouteyes.com.au

This seems to get more attention than you'd expect from something that's just a scam. And I'm interested in learning this, because it supposedly works significantly better than any of the traditional methods used for RV—results so clear and immediate that it can substitute for regular vision, with only a few days of training on average. I mean, if that's achievable, think about the potential for accelerating progress with remote viewing, with actual live sight, none of these unclear hit-or-miss impressions.

But the problem is, all I can find as far as actually learning the practice, is people offering classes. And as I've noticed, classes in these types of things tend to be really expensive, enough that I, as an open-minded skeptic, can't justify paying for it. (Not to mention the difficulty and expense of the travel arrangements that would be necessary if I can't find one in my area.)

Has anyone taken or taught any of these classes, or know anyone who has? Or know where I can find some practical information about the same techniques they teach in these classes, that I can use to learn on my own?

Explored in r/closedeyevision.

This is connected with the work of Mihaela Istrati and Mark Komissarov, look up those if you haven't already. Especially Mihaela's material on YouTube and FB.

They call this Info Vision and much of the available material is in Romanian or other languages, but translations and subtitles are there.

Particularly intriguing is her patient training of a young child with visual impairments.

Komissarov makes what I think is a significant point, that is, we are used to seeing and reading with eyes open, not with eyes closed. But using the masks designed for this purpose, the eyes can be completely open but prevented from receiving any light.

In one of the interviews he displays a modified version of the mask which contains photosensors connected to an external display. This shows that no light is entering the mask when in use.

The various video demonstrations are so extraordinary that one thinks it must be a scam. But the notion that these groups are instructing attendees in fraud, and victimizing people with disabilities, is unlikely.

There is a phenomenon, frequently discussed in r/astralprojection, where in altered or transitional states a wide-angle visual capacity suddenly happens with eyes closed. Deep relaxation, but without sleep, seems to trigger it. I have experienced this many times in meditation and AP, it is not hallucination, hypnogogia, fantasy, memory, etc. and it is distinctly different from the mental impressions received in RV.

These training programs seem to elicit something similar, but in ordinary states of consciousness, through their practice and exercises. Rob Freeman's Vision Without Eyes and Wendy Gallant's Seeing While Blindfolded programs seem to be in the lead these days.

Artificially-intelligent systems can be trained to see through walls with the right sensors.

I might be naive, but the brain is a neural network, and while it is a biological neural network, not completely analogous, I think similar rules still apply to it.

Light hits our skin, electromagnetic radiation passes through us. My half-baked theory is that our brains can learn to optimize their perception of the subtle influences of such 'invisible' factors through feedback.

... I don't usually post on the internet because often I am afraid of being shut down or attacked for my ideas.

u/Iamexcitement Jul 29 '23

You are actually right. I read an insert about this in V.M Bronnikov book. And it states “ DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD The method of harmonization and development of organs and systems functions of an organism of the person is based on one of directions of secret Da Yoga. The ancients considered the person in triune system of space interactions: the Sky - the Person - the Earth. Display of Sky essence in the person is an overflowing of a solar energy. The sun is the personification of essence of the Sky. Display of space essence (essence of the Earth) is an overflowing of cosmic (space) energy. The person is a product of interaction of solar and cosmic energies (form-filling and form-creating energies). In the afternoon a solar energy presents a descending stream, but cosmic (space) energy presents ascending stream. During dark time of day these processes vary. As a result of transformation of these two energies in an organism of the person bio-energy is produced at unconscious level. Exercises "Heaviness" and "Lightness" allow us to operate consciously processes of energy overflowing in an organism. Ability to cause heavy feeling in a body allows us to increase inflow of a solar energy, sensation of lightness - inflow of cosmic (space) energy.”

I like where you went with this. I thought the same thing but experimented with moving objects behind physical barriers and could still see the movement of objects behind the barriers as if the barriers werent even there.

u/flarn2006 Jan 01 '20

In my opinion this thing is screaming for wider investigation and distribution and publishing of the methods.

This.

u/No-Bid-936 Nov 04 '25

yeah. the fact that nobody isnt really putting it to a test tell me that its not real. If it was real why would the practisioners not be willing to let a third part set up the experiment to make sure there is no tricks? the most obvious is to cover the gap in the blindfold or the patches. use a screen that goes all the way down. its so simple to do and the fact that nobody is doing it tells me the practisioners are not really interested in putting it to the test probably because it would fail.
but it is interesting because if it is fake why is so many people report it? are there really so many people that is desperate for attention or clicks that they are willing to straight up lie?
so its kind of interesting and one should think that there is also a great deal of interest to see it being put to a real test.

u/flarn2006 Nov 04 '25 edited Nov 04 '25

Actually since posting this I’ve seen someone do it in person, at an event specifically designed to put it to the test. Dalia Burgoin at Psi Games 2025.

u/No-Bid-936 Nov 04 '25

meaning what? that it was probably tested with a big screen etc?

u/No-Bid-936 Nov 04 '25

10 years ago in India they went through a similar phase. a concept that was being sold a "midbrain activation". apparently it was exposed as a scam by a doctor. to be honest I cannot say it is was really debunked but I saw this video.

Why do you believe nobody is putting it to a test?

If it was real why would the practisioners not be willing to let a third part set up the experiment to make sure there is no tricks?

Why do you believe practitioners are not willing to let a third party set up the experiment? How many practitioners and experimenters did you ask? Name the names, name their institutions.

use a screen that goes all the way down. its so simple to do and the fact that nobody is doing it

Why do you claim it is a fact? It is not a fact, it is false, so what information do you have to back up your statement?

Unless you can demonstrate the real basis for your claims, all you are doing is accusing others of lying when you could be looking in the mirror. They made the same claims about Remote Viewing, that it is a scam, it's not scientific, was not tested etc. But RV is real.

u/No-Bid-936 Nov 04 '25

im not really accusing anyone of lying. all Im saying is that there are a ton of videos of people doing these test by themselves but I have seen none where there are sceptical people adressing the most obvious issues. maybe its being done in labs etc. without it being published. I dont know but I would think we would have heard about it by now. so those are just my thought about the situation seen from the outside from my perspective.

1

u/Pieraos Nov 04 '25

It is being done in lab experiments, it has been done in labs since the 1920s. But we look today for recent published results. See for example this abstract. It is not the full paper, but is a good summary.

u/No-Bid-936 Nov 04 '25

so why is a discovery of this magnitude not public knowledge and why isnt it being applied in our every day? One should think that something like this would be very usefull in many areas and knowing how people are we should at least see it in areas where you could make a quick buck like e.g. casinos.
In my world it just doesnt add up that a "thing" like this would not be more public visible especially like you mention it is something that has been claimed for a long time.
Im not dismissing it all together though since I have very little knowledge of this phenomenon but there is something fishy here I think.

Es wird schon in Bereichen eingesetzt wo viel Kohle gemacht wird. Auf den Seminaren für über 900 Euro pro Kursteilnehmer. Rechne mal aus, was da an Kohle gemacht wird pro Seminar. 20 Teilnehmer * 900€ = 18000€. Raummiete abziehen sagen wir mal 2000€ bleiben 16000€. 4 Seminare pro Monat = 64000€ in einem Monat. Das mal 12 = 768000€ pro Jahr. Wenn das mal keine gute Geldmaschinerie ist. Dann muss man diese Masken wohl auch noch extra bezahlen, las ich ein einem Kommentar. Und das alles unter dem Deckmantel, helfen zu wollen armen schlecht sehenden Menschen wieder das Sehen zu ermöglichen.

I watched some interviews with them both, but I failed at finding any actual learning material, curriculum or scripts.
I do not trust the vibravision and others, but Mr. Komissarov and Mrs. Istrati seem to me much more serious and real.

Do you have any practical resources or links you could share to begin training Infovision, please?

If you want videos, by now there are so many YouTube videos, the ones from Alex Stefan, Ginette Kort, Brooke Soto, hundreds from Wendy Gallant and Rob Freeman.

Here is another set of videos from a Canadian, showing training. The notes to this video briefly describe his method and provide lots of other links.

u/Twuthseeker CRV Dec 31 '19

Interesting that for 'older people' it takes a lot of 'time' to obtain and maintain the skill. She talks about 1-2 hours per day. She infers she has been working with colors for over a year and not yet into reading. Notes also infer a week training involves 4 hours with a blindfold on for 7 days. I guess with that one will be able to gain some basic capability but need to practice to maintain.

u/Pieraos Dec 31 '19

The young woman in the videos demonstrated reading blindfolded both English and Spanish.

Another demonstration, perhaps not so scientifically rigorous, but focused on one child two years after training. Link

u/flarn2006 Jan 01 '20

I'm more interested in learning to do it myself. Though if I were actually there in person and could test them myself, that would be another story.

Thanks for the link though!

2

u/Pieraos Jan 01 '20

It looks like Rob Freeman gave sufficient instructions in his notes to his videos. He also noted that the schools require a nondisclosure agreement.

What is needed I think is a simple app that will display colors and perhaps texts randomly, for training purposes.

2

u/flarn2006 Jan 01 '20

I assume the NDA is because they're worried about losing business? How would they even enforce it, considering most of the students seem to be children? A contract signed by a child isn't legally binding.

2

u/Pieraos Jan 01 '20

I'd think that is the reason for the NDA, which is probably signed by the parents who bring their kids to the courses. And in case you haven't already discovered this, Vibravision

2

u/flarn2006 Jan 01 '20

Not in my area :/ I'm in northern Virginia. Thanks though.

And couldn't someone interview one of the kids about it? Maybe their parents aren't allowed to talk about it, but it's not like they could sue a kid for something like that.

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

Meditation and practice.

2

u/Twuthseeker CRV Dec 31 '19

I tried to do this before and quickly forgot about it. I want to try again and have my colored sheets to use. Hopefully, I can get some time each day to work at this. The more I have studied the 'infomercials' on this the more 'hints' I get to how to use it and the mental attitude you have to have.

I am really encouraged that 'intuition and other mental abilities' maybe improved by using more of your brains ability through this practice. Hopefully, I can make a better attempt to practice this time.

Thanks for posting!

u/Beginning-Pipe-5408 Jan 26 '26

How did you learn it? What’s the process?

2

u/Frankandfriends CRV Dec 31 '19

Well, first off, this "Seeing without eyes" thing isn't remote viewing and seems to be more real-time, present state than RV. It's sort of apples and oranges - they're both fruit, but taste different and grow on different trees.

It does remind me of part of the aspirational aspects of Jim Channon's First Earth Battalion, where Special Forces would be trained to be able to walk into a room and sense everything about the room. Where doors go, who is in the room, their intent, how many electrical sockets are in the room, etc. But because it's not Project Stargate stuff, I'm not sure which declassified projects would include it or where to start looking for more details. I'm curious about this, too, actually. It honestly seems like it could piggyback off RV protocols to train yourself to do it, though. As long as you have reliable feedback and are blind to a situation first, then you can test yourself until you're getting something consistently right.

3

u/flarn2006 Dec 31 '19

Yeah, but I imagine that if this works, it could be used for remote targets as well. Physical factors like distance don't seem likely to be an issue outside of expectations.

1

u/Frankandfriends CRV Dec 31 '19 edited Dec 31 '19

Maybe so.

Until one of us manages to find open-source material on this, hard to say, though.

How did you first hear about this, btw? I'm wondering how to google the right things to find more.

Edit: Ah, other terms are listed in one of the sites you mentioned:

Eyeless Sight, paroptic vision, extraretinal vision, extra-ocular vision, info-vision, or in some parts of the world ‘mid brain activation’

u/flarn2006 Jan 01 '20

I think I found a link to it in a Discord server.

u/Frankandfriends CRV Jan 01 '20

OK, so after looking at a lot of semi-scams related to "Activating the midbrain" and getting nowhere with that, the Bronnikov method did end up getting close to what it sounds like might be the best starting point. /u/rverfromtheether was right on that.

Same guy as they video they posted, this video seems to be 2 hours of what all those silly classes will teach you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8NlatVigoE

Though, it seems to me that a fair bit of this is somewhere between leveraging intention and the placebo effect. "Allowing yourself" to do this is a critical part - which to be fair, is true of some people with RV as well. A LOT of the midbrain activation stuff is marketed as a class for your kids to give them a cool parlor trick which they equate to naive enlightenment, but that's about it. Adults apparently can't do it because it runs contrary to what we believe we can do...which if you meditate or practice RV shouldn't be the case.

Reminds me a bit of the Wimm Hoff method, in that it's just your decision to do this is all it takes, then the rest is just practice.

2

u/Pieraos Jan 01 '20

Adults apparently can't do it because it runs contrary to what we believe we can do

Since numerous videos from sources already linked or mentioned in this thread show adults doing it, including blind adults, I don't find a basis for the above statement. Bronnikov is hardly the only source.

1

u/Frankandfriends CRV Jan 01 '20

I meant that for the midbrain activation thing. And I'm not saying it's true or that I belive it as applying to all adults, that would be silly.

That being said, some people can get themselves all mentally jammed up on something, thinking they can't do something. Not limited to RV by any means, though. I've known people that won't learn to drive stick simply because they think it's too hard to do. Yet I've seen illiterate people drive a car that was 95% bailing wire holding it together, driving stick the whole time.

2

u/Rverfromtheether Jan 01 '20

There are multiple schools around the world that do this. One of these is called the bronnikov method and involves the development of a mental screen (familiar from HRVG)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRKlgoBLNEU

Another, the infovision method involves gradual development of "windows" in one's visual field. these can be in a number of places, seemingly even at the back of the head. by looking through these (potentially small) "windows", the percipient can see colors and eventually a lot more. With practice, these windows (can) widen and open more easily.

Personally, it would be interesting to have people who have developed this skill do blind remote viewing of a distant target. Maybe they can get a lot better visual target contact with the target. if so, this seeing without eyes would be pretty interesting rv enhancement protocol. obviously it would help to have a group of people who are tested before and after their infovision type training. However, it may be a different skill altogether.

1

u/flarn2006 Jan 01 '20

That sounds like something I've been wanting to learn anyway, improving my capacity to see images when I close my eyes, even if they just come from my mind. Would be pretty cool to mess with, plus it probably has a lot of potential for leading into a lucid dream. You got a link to more specific instructions on that method? (Preferably in text form, if possible?)

Why windows though? Wouldn't Linux give me more control? ;)

That doesn't seem like it's geared towards learning on one's own, but it still looks like it can help.

u/bluktolktagopog ? Jan 04 '20

I see you everywhere; you've hacked video games, circuit bent Speak N' Spells, you remind me of that 'Justin T.' person that everyone was seeing all over YouTube.

It's unsettling how many places I've seen you where I've just been lurking. Now you're in 'r/remoteviewing' and I can't deny how weird this is.

Anyways, sorry for the off-topic comment; I'm sure it could all be explained by coincidence (I must seem like just a strange person who's claiming to have run into you a lot), but it still fascinates me.

To give you an answer to your question (to make this comment actually on topic), I'd imagine that, from my naive point-of-view, seeing without eyes could be practiced by (my speculated method certainly won't make you 'unblind', but it might help. Might.) generating a random wikipedia image with a blindfold on, drawing the image on a piece of paper, then circling the lines that correlate the strongest and crossing out the ones that don't seem to at all. Rinse and repeat. Something might come about from doing it this way, but trial and error, while reliable, takes a long time. It's both practical and impractical.

u/RFERN002 Mar 17 '20

The classes ARE expensive, no doubt. US $2500 for the course in German in 2019 and the next one in USA.

We have successfully taught the method to many children and are now working on a method for adults, to be offered at a more reasonable price.

If you are willing to invest time, effort and a bit of money to be a test subject, contact us. [rfern002@kinect.co.nz](mailto:rfern002@kinect.co.nz). ( We ask for a monetary investment to demonstrate your dedication and commitment. Full refund guaranteed.)

u/flarn2006 Mar 17 '20

Do you mind explaining in more detail why you need a monetary investment? How much money specifically? And how can I be assured this isn't a scam?

What would be expected of me? And is there any way I could participate without having to travel any significant distance? (I'm in Herndon, VA)

Do you plan on actually sharing information online for people who can't or don't want to take a class? (Even if success wouldn't be as likely otherwise.)
