How do I use the Minds Eye?

How do I use the minds eye plain and simple. :P

Also what does the phrase "Minds Eye" Mean?

[Phi]

The mind's eye is the 'eye' that you use when you visualize things in your mind, like when you daydream. Imagine a bright yellow lemon.

Like that.

Hmm makes sense but how do I use it? And improve it?

[Phi]

Some exercises are:

• Reading fiction
  
• Daydreaming
  
• Finding shapes in clouds
  
• Looking at an area in a room, closing your eyes, and trying to imagine as much as you can remember being there.

While we are on the topic: Does anyone else have more than one minds eye or is it just me? While meditating I noticed at least 3 different ways to visualize stuff, each one with unique properties (One seems very small, but gives a crisp, clear image, another one gives a fuzzy image, but I can 'feel' the visualized things better, the last one gives no image at all. I just sort of 'know' what stuff is in front of me).

 

The mind's eye isn't an actual eye, it's a part of the brain and you can't have more than one of it. You're just visualizing in different ways like everybody can.

Anonymous: I don't have different ones in that sense, but I do have multiple layers I can use. For instance, enter wonderland, have tulpa take me to her wonderland, sit down there and try to force, re-enter my wonderland. I was aware of my bodies on all 4 layers (physical body + 3 layers of wonderlands), but the whole thing went trippy and fell apart after about a minute in the last layer. I can also be in my wonderland and imagine doing something there to plan actions (like I do IRL), without actually doing them.

Since which stage of your tulpa are you able to do that? I'm curious now.

 

You mean her taking me to her wonderland? We first tried this sort of thing a bit before her first words. I wanted to troubleshoot why she wasn't being able to speak. I asked her to show me something, put my hands around her head, let go of my visualization, and watched the swirl of nothingness until it formed into something. One of the first things she did with this was take me to what I later realized was her memory library. The "wonderland" she took me to the time I was talking about was a golden place with a floor made of clouds -- she has since confirmed that this is clouds above a larger wonderland I haven't seen yet.

 

The time I did the layers thing was a while after that, between first words and hearing anything further. Apart from having her wonderland as one of the layers, I don't think anything I did there relied on having a tulpa.

One in my head which is the default one for daydreaming and stuff. and one where i can 'project' and image on the back of my eyelids to get a realistic feel
