Tell that to a few hundred million buddhists...

P.S. If you are seeing floating squiggles (bendy floaty tubes or blobs) and you don't already have a known eyesight problem I would seriously visit a doctor.

Well since we can catch them on film I would say YOU are suffering from some kind of delusion

I would go seek some help with that seriously

This thread is really winding me up as there are all you lot talking about a whole lot of different crap,

Wow see what I mean? you really should step outside for some air and go see that shrink...

You are in a paranormal studies thread... what part of that are you getting wound up about?

I do believe that this has been discussed here before on ATS, the two main ideas on what it is if I remember correctly was dust particles or the white blood cells in behind your retina in your eye.

Personally I do not think it is either of these, I have seen these "particles" since I was a young child... they are often colourless spheres with small dots in the centre which can only be seen when they shift and move as they disturb the surrounding air...


Resentedhalo08.

I also see the colourless spheres with small dots. Sometimes I also see longer thread-like colourless transparent things float by. I think it's just the fluid in my eyes that I'm seeing. I'll also sometimes see tiny pin point pricks of light (100s of them) swirl and dance together when I concentrate or stare for a bit at the day time sky. The closest thing I can describe it to is looking through a microscope at bacteria playing bumper cars, which is probably what it is. I don't know what I see, but I'm sure it's just something in my eye.


EDIT: Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon (Fireflies) This from a post above clears it up for me. haha

I have a simple theory that doesn't require supernatual explanations though I'm not closed off to the idea. At least some of the various manifestations may be simply a result of being more conscious in general. As one gains higher awareness, the fingerprints of certain neural processes become manifest that are normally edited out before visual information is received at the conscious level. In other words, we begin to be able to see errors and noise that is kept hidden so that it doesn't disrupt normal sight. We as humans can gaze at these things and make sense of it without it being detrimental or confusing but other species may find confusion in not being able to distinguish it from the ordinary retinal image and so evolution selected for unawareness in order to minimize the amount of visual information that must be processed. The veil is there by default in our species like an appendix-- some can lift it to peek inside.

HINKEY!!!
Just the other day I was laying in my bed and my boyfriend was at his desk and I was watching him and I started to see a dark violet almost silvery grey hue. I think its just his aura am I wrong???

Does anybody see small flashes of light (that do not flash off and on- they last for a brief second) ? I see the transparent energy swirls and they move to different speeds, which I think the subject of Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon (Fireflies) - is interesting and I will look into it further.....but I also see these small flashes of light that are electrical looking as if it were sparks that come out of a plug in the wall-they range in colors like bright blue, white, -which are the most common, and orange and red- but I only see red in times of great sexual passion or on other rare occasions. Also, I sometimes see electrical blue eyes when I shut my eyes or electric looking red eyes-- I thought maybe this was an imprint of my own eyes- does any one see this or could they explain this?

Short answer: YES.

Long answer:

I've seen this all my life - ever since I was a kid. It is like little particles that swirl around everything; as well as "everything" apparantly being composed of other somewhat static/stationary particles. All the particles seem to move and flow around and through everything else.

I've come to the conclusion that what we are seeing is best explained by quantum physics/mechanics. Everything is comprised of particles/waves. All the particles/waves interact with each other and create interference patterns. So the couch, tree, human, whatever it is I'm looking at is actually a quantum energy/information pattern in space. The energy of the "thing" creates a sub-structure within space at the quantum level. The particles in the space around it have other particles swirling around it as well.... its like a big-soup of particles/waves.

Now we aren't seeing the quantum particles; what we are percieving are the "effects" of quantum processes that are occuring at a fundmental level of existence that results in the gross-energetic wave-forms of particles colliding/interacting within/into one another that gives shape to matter/energy that comprises the temporal reality we experience around us.

For a while now, if i focused of a spot of air, it would, after a while, look like there is transparent "Television Static." Now, it seems if i look anywhere i can see it. It gathers in auras around people/animals, and there seems to be ambient energy (if thats what it is) in the air.
It's faint, but certainly there. What is it?
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Please tell me what you think!!!

No, you are most likely not seeing energy, I do not have to read 8 something pages of posts to know that. If you are serious about the notion, consult an optomitrist first.

Mine is indigo

Hahahahah! Indigo... instant fail. From my experiences indigo automatically makes you overly susceptible to false information if you accept it as something paranormal.

Yeah i see that too when i stare at the sky.
i always thought that I was seeing cells moving around on my eye

I've experienced the exact same thing. I never thought about considering it as "seeing energy". I know if i look and concentrate long enough on that particle of air, tunnel vision seems to kick in. I am not alarmed by it, i would imagine its normal if you look at something long enough things might start to look grainy.

But who knows, maybe it is something else?

No, it is perfectly normal, if you look at your computer screen too long, or concentrate on the space inbetween you and your wall. Your vision starts getting slightly distorted and messed up. It even stays with you for a little bit. Do not do it, it damages your eyes, if it's more permenant, seriously attempt to see an optomistrist

Guys, sorry to burst your bubble, but everyone gets this, its the bacteria on your eye, which follow you where you look, because they're on your eye.

also, i look at a white wall, and its not one solid piece, theres blotches and stuff everywhere, it obviously has to do with how our brains interpret the electrical signals sent by the light received from our optic nerve, or it has to do with how crappy our eyes have developed, maybe they leave spots out, skip some pixels, maybe our eyes form of resolution misses some stuff, in a million years ask some people about it, maybe evolution will have taken care of the #ty resolution we get with our eyes

its not energy, dont you think some scientists somewhere ever would have tried to harness the energy, you cannot see energy, its not matter, it doesnt reflect light
