Why do these lights represent?

[johnathanrs]

Hello, I wanted to ask some questions if anyone has a similiar experience to me and already found the answers to my questions. I am trying to better myself and was wondering if anyone could genuinely answer these questions.

1. I see a very Aqua type color when I meditate, what is it?

2. I see very pure white sprinkles fading in and out. I believe this to be linked to spirtual awareness, only because it manifests more vividly when I see auras around all objects. Like a glow that comes from every object, which I read has something to do with the natural auras that everything projects. These white sprinkles move around very rapidly, they are everywhere, and each one appears only for like a second or two before fading from existence. A new one pops up and fades out immediately. If you look at all of them in its entirety it looks like white moving sprinkles that exist everywhere.

3. I constantly see from time to time, especially when I close my eyes, these inner dots that seem to come from within. Very bright blue dot will flash, sometimes a white dot, red dot, exc... thay are connected to bubbles. What are they and are they good or bad?

4. I see these bubbles floating around from time to time. They look like when you see static from a T.V station that isn't displaying any cable television. It looks like that except a 3-D version of it.

Can you explain further/elaborate?

I know I see silvery/white/black dots that swim through the air - coming into and back out of existence,
When I cut the blood flow to my eyes off...

And then colors start to appear as well as veins of some type,
And then a green circle or sometimes a green lemon shaped eye.

As for the bubbles,
You are probably looking at the configuration of your inner universe,
Just as it is in heaven/outer-space...
So shall it be on earth - below.

So if bubbles form in space,
Then the same happens within your inner quantum universe.

...

I do not know what to make of the aqua color that you experienced,
But in my experience after temporarily blinding myself in order to perceive the radiowaves that permeat this entire universe...
I do see an aqua'ish grey'ish transparent colored background over everything else that I am perceiving.

Is that what you mean by "aqua'... ?

Buddhists call this nimittas. It is very common during meditation.

"Nimitta, in the context used here, refers to the beautiful "lights" that appear in the mind. I would point out, though, that the nimittas are not visual objects, in that they are not seen through the sense of sight. At this stage of the meditation, the sense of sight is not operating. The nimittas are pure mental objects, known by the mind sense. However, they are commonly perceived as lights."

Thank you. That read is very good. I experienced Jhana or a nimitta of Jhana, or something like that. For some reason, I am seeing them also while being awake, where most only see them while meditating. That is bizarre. However, I have meditated with my eyes open just to experiment. That might be why.

Not really tbh. I am trying to think of a better way to explain it, but I think back of the story of trying to explain colors to a blind man. Is it possible unless you have experienced it? It looks like space is warping and static is playing like a 3-d visual between space and reality? Like the distortion effect you see when watching a space documentary of a black hole that distorts everything around it. The static seems to be distorting/mimicking that, as it too distorts everything around it. It has nothing to do with eyes straining; I have already ruled that out as a possibility.

The aqua orb of light also talks to me, and based around what I have read from online shaman readings, it is a spirit guide. It looks turquoise, not aqua also. My mistake. The best description I can provide is look up and take a few seconds to stare at a street light when its really dark. You will see a orb of light expanding into the darkness, emanating from the light. It looks just like that except a really bright turquoise color and it is inside of me.

That could be something going on with your eyes. The vitreous fluid thins and causes strange orbs in our vision at times. There could be other neurological reasons though. It wouldn't hurt to get checked out by an eye doc and take it from there.

Do these orbs of light look like this?


Or...

This?

Study this thread,
Only iF you feel that there might be a connection between that orb you seen and the orbs that I posted about on the thread above. ^

...

Also,
I recall an experience when I was just a preteen,
My mother,
brother,
and I,
Used to live with my aunt.

And one morning,
As I was still sleeping,
I think I was dreaming,
But about current events all around my body.

In this dream,
I had seen this giant "beach ball sized" aqua colored sphere of energy quickly fly past me - knocking over some books that would never have fell down in the way they did,
They were pushed over by something heavy.

And when the moment the books hit my head,
I woke up and seen the same exact books that I seen in my dream that was falling onto my head.

To be more clear on this dream,
I was dreaming about me laying on the ground,
And in the dream,
I had seen a big aqua sphere of energy pass me by - while it accidentally knocking over some books which had then fell onto my head.

So maybe...
That orb that I had seen,
Is of the same species of the aqua orb you had seen?

Or maybe - these beings of light that scientists are calling "ball lightening",
What (occultists or paranormalists) are calling "demons/angels/spirits",
What society is calling "aliens [or] ufos",
Are... somehow connected to both you and my experience of the big aqua orb thingy.

An eye check up wouldn't hurt any and it's sensible just to exclude any possible visual illness.

I get halos round lights, all the time, but I've taken lots of psychedelics over the years and I have always had light sensitive eyes, with frequent check ups also showing no unusual visual problems or illnesses.

The orb seems to me to be as you describe johnathanrs, but you could try Trataka exercises to help with focus and periphery too, for the other visual distortions, it should help to define and improve both inner and outer vision.

"Floaters" was the term I needed earlier. I get those all the time too, and they are more prominent on sunny days. You can find some images of floaters in a google search, although that wouldn't explain the talking one. Also check out visual snow, field entoptic phenomenon, and Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder if drugs are in the picture.

YES! That is a dead ringer for what it looks like except a 2-d simple/drawing version of it.

Reminds me of the parable of a glass of water being half-empty/half-full/neither. Demons/angels/spirits will be based upon one projecting their bias upon the object. In reality, the glass is neither - just as no human can be construed so simply.

Aliens? Doesn't surprise me. I have sensed a feeling of superiority from it.

Aqua orb thing is a dead ringer for it. I took the time to look up the color and found Turquoise to be more precise. There is another that is a dark whitish almost grey looking orb as well.

I have and wear glasses. Already ruled out scientific explanations. The lights stand out. I had the halos since I was a child and didn't realize they were anything abnormal until I grew up and realized that no one really experienced the same thing that I have. This is that x 1000. A completely different level. The halos look like a after image that fade unless you concentrate, but these don't. They are really bright dots that get more intense even if you aren't concentrating on them, only to dim out over time.

These are all dead ringers. I suffer from all of these. I never found anything that was a explanation for the static besides static snow. That is exactly it.

"Many people also see after images, vitreous floaters, entopic phenomenon, glare, halos, starbursts, trails, palinopsia, double vision, odd colors and shapes. Many sufferers also have non-visual symptoms such as fatigue, tinnitus or depersonalization and derealisation."

Floaters etc. are a scientific explanation, so ruling out science was an error, it seems and other people do experience them too.

Halos are not abnormal, if you have sensitivity or pre existing sight issues, though they can be a symptom of serious problems, but not in isolation. Glaucoma is one condition that causes halos, but again, check ups will rule that out pretty quickly and it is an uncommon condition.

...but you could try Trataka exercises to help with focus and periphery too, for the other visual distortions, it should help to define and improve both inner and outer vision.

I still recommend trataka exercises.
