The other day, while on a lower dose of Changa, I noticed something about how it affects my vision. I'm not talking about visuals. I was able to reproduce this three more times, on three different days. It just happens, there is no thought making it happen.

I fixed my focus on one spot. Then I slowly tilted my head to one side or the other, while my focal point was constant. The affect I noticed was a snapping to the next image. It was like there was a delay in my refresh rate and I was missing some of the frames. Another way of saying it, would be that my shutter speed was slowed down.

My guess would be that it has some thing to do with how we perceive gravity, or rather what we normally think of up and down, in a visual sense related to our surroundings. Maybe DMT affects the way we interpret messages from our inner ear, or delays the messages. Our sense of balance isn't only from our inner ear,however, I'm pretty sure it's input has the greatest weight.

It's quite interesting to see in person. So please try this simple experiment and report your findings!

Thank you,

I think I remember reading in "Psychedelic Information Theory" by James Kent, that he said slow frame refresh rate has to do with more and more visual feedback. By keeping the eyes still and focused, it allows the feedback loop to get greater and greater which can result in a number of intensifying effects, and eventually slow frame refresh. Hope this was of valuable information.

If I focus my eyes on one spot, I don't get any shutter effect on the leaves of a tree being blown around, or some one walking between me and my focal point, nor do OEVs slow down too a shutter. It only happens when I focus on one point and tilt my head. Hence, why I feel that my inner ear has a role in the affect.

What Kent wrote about the feedback loop intensifying, can clearly be seen with CEVs. CEVs build and build. Same for OEVs if you focus on one point. Add the tilt and things get very different.

It really is simple to try. I'm just wondering if other people experience it.

On a side note, I had a friend back in the day that did what he called, The Show. The Show, was only given while we were both on Hallucinogens of some sort. The idea behind the show is exactly what Kent wrote about. Here are some bullet points of The Show:

1. Take some thing that gives visuals.
2. Have a dark room, with a soft light(think candle light) coming from behind the Audience.
3. Sit face to face, about 2 to 3 feet apart.
4. The Audience should focus on the Entertainer's face.
5. The Entertainer should be leaning back to increase the distance between him and the Audience.
6. The Entertainer slowly contorts his face. The more ways, you can think to do so, the better, but the key is slowly!
7. The Entertainer slowly starts to lean in towards the Audience.
8. The Entertainer stops leaning in, once he gets about half a foot to a foot from the Audience's face, but continues to contort his face.
9. If the Entertainer can continue(some times it's a big if) he should slowly move back to where he started, while contorting his face.
10. The Entertainer suddenly snaps out of it, shaking his head in disbelief.

This is quite a show! The idea is that visuals build slowly and as the distance between faces decrease, the Entertainer's face grows larger in the Audience's field of vision. So by the middle of the show there is this giant face morphing in all sorts of ways, taking up most of the Audience's field of view. The Entertainer is also entertained by the Audience's dismay.

Hit a bowl of changa and looks into the mirror. my iris shrinks so small I cant even tell the color of my eyes. I think this plays at least some role in the visual experience.

Same here. I've even noticed my dogs eyes doing the same whenever I'm tripping too.

I used the GVG the other day in front of a mirror, and it was certainly interesting to say the least. I looked like an ape or like one of those "in-between" humans on the evolution graphic, and was constantly morphing. Meanwhile I could feel my body encapsulated by a large warm magnetic energy field as the OEVs that were both in the air in front of me as well as in the mirror amassed themselves more and more creating larger and larger hyperstructures. It was pretty interesting to say the least. As soon as I would look away from the mirror, the energy field around me that I could feel with my body would instantly diminish, and if I looked in the mirror again, I could feel it swell back up.

Traces and trails is what some call them. I don't know if it's actually our brain speeding or slowing down, for some reason I'd guess the first one.

I know what Tracers and Trails are. This is completely different than those. Tracers and Trails leave an after image super imposed on the background.

What I'm talking about is a snapping to the next image. There are no Tracers or Trails. Another way of describing it would be like a strobe light flashing, only with out any darkness in between the impulses.

Try it out next time you are coming down from a vape, or if you slowly come up on Changa, like I like to do.
