OK bet. How?

>1. Sit in a dim/dark room. Place a steady candle flame (or phone LED / small lamp) ~1–2 m in front, slightly below eye level.
>2. Gaze softly at the flame for 30–90 seconds (minimal blinking, relaxed eyes - no strain).
>3. Close eyes gently. Focus exclusively on the afterimage / mental sign that appears (bright spot, red/golden dot, colors, flame shape, murk, patterns 0 whatever shows up).
>4. Hold steady, gentle attention on it. If it fades, drifts, warps, or vanishes notice calmly, reopen eyes, gaze at flame again briefly, then close and repeat.

Cool thx

In theory if I can imagine a flame without there actually being a flame that's the same thing right?
Just close your eyes and create a light with your imagination?

>>41799891
any background theory on how this works? would gazing at the sun work too?

>Staring at a candle flame (Fire Kasina) and focusing on the afterimage builds very strong concentration. With prolonged, intensive practice (hours daily over days/weeks), it often leads to vivid visuals, geometric patterns, "murk", lights, dissolution of self, and profound mystical states that many people describe as similar to DMT (or other psychedelics like high-dose psilocybin/5-MeO-DMT).

>A 2024 pilot study found advanced Fire Kasina retreats produced mystical experience scores comparable to high-dose psychedelics, including DMT.

am I a hylic? I tried this a few times (semi serious) but there was no afterimage in my head

>>41799981
I used to not be able to sleep as a child because I had dancing orbs and lights visible in the dark and when I closed my eyes and a constant sense of presences.

You're not a hylic. It's likely your diet or drugs affecting the pineal gland and also the prefrontal cortex 3rd eye thingy.
It comes and goes for me too based on things I eat and lifestyle I live.

Black coffee activates my imagination like crazy.

>>41799981
You might just have super healthy eyes

>your pineal gland might be calcified, try sunbathing in the morning to decalcify it.
>also cut down on caffeine.
