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.

    It’s not telepathy. Telepathy isn’t real. Your eyes are probably just moving thru different levels of focus and your brain is picking up on other patterns as it tries to find focus.

      I noticed something interesting out of it, it has happened to me on multiple occasions when I like a person I usually turn to look at them in a row, for example in a classroom, and suddenly it seems that that person notices that you are looking at them and turns to look at you. I was curious if other people have the same experience, thank you for your opinion.

      I believe its totally fake, but wondering what other people have experienced.

            I have noticed that it has also happened to me the other way around, basically you go around and it happens automatically, you feel someone looking at you but there is not even any indication of it, not out of the corner of your eye or anything, it has simply happened to me with men and women and my thoughts on that Precise moment varies depending on the circumstance. It can be anything positive or negative. Just before it passes my head automatically turns in the direction of the person who is looking at me, I think it happens when someone concentrates more on their thoughts than on what they are really seeing at that moment.

    Any time someone tells you they have an easy trick for some life changing ability ask yourself why everyone doesn’t know about it already. Probably because it doesn’t do squat.

      This. Happens more frequently than you think.

      Most noticeable is when you just wake up, and begin to stare through a very bright area (like a window) and then close your eyes again.

      The “sillouete” of the window (which is in a very weird color gamut) would appear with your eyelids closed, even if you move your eyes around.

      After few seconds of eyes-closed, it disappears.

        Let me know if you find any result trying what I say in the main post. I’m wondering if someone experience something relevant with that information.

    If I do it with a photo, am I engaging in telepathy with the person in the photo?

    Hmmm, time to ask Douglass Adams what he meant by 42.

    I 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.

    I 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 thought the same as you, but according to my results and possibly some people who have also commented, it may be that something peculiar is happening, I would not dare to assure that what my contact told me is real but I do think that something strange is happening.

    Unlike 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.
