Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone’s head, what you are actually doing is telepathy… so far I haven’t researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could someone confirm what your experience is when doing the same?
Edit: As someone said in the comments, have you ever seen an image in black and white with a red dot in the center what if you keep your stare fixed for a certain time in it and close and open your eyes rapidly you see the image of JesusChrist? Maybe it is realated to the phenomenon in some way.
If someone try it and notice some result please let me know.

velox_vulnus ( @velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml ) English8•2 months agoThere’s no such thing as telepathy. Those spirals and visions happen when you put pressure on your eyes, don’t do that. If they appear without pressure, then those flying stuff are called floaters, basically dead cells floating inside your eyes. About the red dot, that’s an illusion. I can show you another picture and make you believe in Flying Spaghetti?

Hmmm, time to ask Douglass Adams what he meant by 42.
I believe it should be a real human objective not a photo.
PatheticGroundThing ( @PatheticGroundThing@beehaw.org ) 5•2 months agoI always begin seeing weird shapes if I keep my eyes fixed somewhere. Doesn’t matter where it is, can be a white wall even. I don’t think it’s anything more than a quirk of how our eyes work.

inconspicuouscolon ( @inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol ) 1•2 months agoI have a question. Do you truly think it’s more likely that something extraordinary is occurring, rather than concluding humans aren’t built perfect? Or is it more exciting to believe that something cool and magical is happening, and you perhaps choose to pursue that possibility?
I think it’s a 50/50
inconspicuouscolon ( @inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol ) 1•2 months agoThe scientific method aims to refine theories based on new and best available evidence. There isn’t compelling scientific evidence supporting telepathy, but the fallibility of human vision is extensively documented. So how come you think it’s 50/50?
I like to believe it is possible, I mean there is a bunch of people who believe in god beside there isn’t any scientific evidence of it, so scientific evidence lack it’s not exactly a determinating factor. Btw scientific evidence are made with in field work first and as I tested this in the field I can confirm there is something happening here.
inconspicuouscolon ( @inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol ) 1•2 months agoScientific evidence is through experiments using the scientific method, which tries to eliminate bias. The wikipedia article provides both adequate and inadequate experiments. You are biased and you’re “testing” in uncontrolled environments. You could hardly call it evidence.
In this right moment I am unavailable to run a controlled experiment but if someone out there read this and want to do it i believe it will bring relevant information.
Edit: but at least they should try to do it wherever place they are first, cos as I told you I believe not all people are capable to do the trick.
CaptObvious ( @CaptObvious@literature.cafe ) 1•2 months agoUnlike others in this thread, I do happen to believe telepathy is real. I don’t know if this is how to access it, though. Might be worth checking techniques used by military researchers or the Princeton Consciousness Project.
The person who told me work for an intelligence agency.
