I’ve traveled on many psychedelic vessels over the years and have yet to board the ship known as DMT, it’s a trip that I will take one day as soon as I locate where she’s docked. I recently had a mild trip on a heavy dose of lion’s mane extract , which honestly was something that I was doubtful of at first. There was a lot of geomagnetic activity in the atmosphere that day and I swear I was able to see its effects on electronic devices in my own household. Sounds weird but I saw light rays surrounding things that weren’t even on. I tried to share my experience with my cousin who is very well versed in hallucinogenic substances and was met with doubt and skepticism. Even as I type this I am prepared for the same reaction to those who haven’t experienced what I did, but it happened and until someone else tries it they really don’t know, right?
Nothing weird about it at all—I've had similar experiences during shroom-assisted meditations. Light is just electromagnetic radio frequency, and with training, our eyes can actually detect individual photons.
From early childhood, we're taught to focus on and recognize “things.” But we’re never taught to consider what might exist
between those things—and our eyes.
If you meditate, try controlling where your attention resides—where
you reside. With enough practice, you can shift that sense of “you” into other objects, both animate and inanimate. A helpful exercise early on is to sit in front of a full-length mirror and consciously transfer your awareness back and forth between the two "you’s."
Once you're good at it, you'll find you can move your attention into anything—a reflection, a chair, a bush, a tree.
The real trick, though, is learning to focus on the
in-between—the seeming emptiness that connects all things. Try this: instead of looking at an object, slowly draw your focus back toward yourself. You can bring your attention inward far enough to start noticing the “floaters” in your eyes.
(Floaters are tiny clumps or strands suspended in the vitreous humor—the gel-like substance inside your eyeball. What you’re seeing are the shadows they cast on your retina.)
Meditation Script: "The In-Between"
Duration: ~15–20 minutes
Opening (Setting the Space – 1 min)
Sit comfortably.
Allow your body to settle.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Breathe naturally.
1. Grounding Attention (2–3 mins)
Notice your breath.
Feel the weight of your body.
Let the world fall away, one sensation at a time—
Sound, tension, expectation.
Now gently bring your attention to the act of seeing.
Not what you're looking at—just the
act itself.
2. Shifting from Object to Awareness (3–4 mins)
Open your eyes if they’re closed, and gaze softly at any object nearby.
A plant. A chair. A reflection. Anything.
Now slowly begin to
pull your attention back.
Not your gaze—your
attention.
Feel the subtle shift from the object... to the space
between the object and your eyes.
Hold your awareness
in that space.
There is something here.
A presence. A field.
It is not the object. It is not the eye.
It is the
in-between.
3. Mirror Practice (optional – 3–5 mins)
(If you’re in front of a mirror, follow this section. If not, skip to the next.)
Gaze into your reflection.
Don’t analyze—just witness.
Begin to transfer your awareness into the “you” on the other side.
Now pull it back into this body.
Back and forth, like a breath.
Who is seeing whom?
Where does the "you" reside?
4. Expanding Awareness (4–5 mins)
Now, pick a new object. A rock. A plant. Even a wall.
Place your awareness
into it.
Not just imagining—but really letting “you”
move into that object.
Now return.
Now go again.
Notice: The
boundary between subject and object is... porous.
5. Seeing the Internal Field (Floaters Practice – 2–3 mins)
Now slowly turn your attention inward.
Look at a bright, blank surface—a white wall or sky works well.
Soften your gaze. Let go of trying to “see” anything in particular.
Allow your vision to relax and become still.
Eventually, you may begin to notice small, worm-like threads drifting across your field of view.
These are
floaters—tiny clumps inside your eyes.
You are now observing your
own internal world.
The veil is thin here.
6. Closing (1–2 mins)
Now rest.
Let go of focus.
Let awareness become wide and effortless.
No need to "be" anything, or "go" anywhere.
You are the space between.
You are the seeing.
You are the seen.
Notes for Practitioners:
- This can be done sober or with plant medicine—but always with care.
- Advanced versions can involve music, darkness, or even multiple mirrors.
- Journal what arises. This practice often triggers spontaneous insights.
, that’s a leap of faith if I ever heard of it.
