Anyone got the balls to sit in a *pitch black* room on their own for a few hours? If so, you will awaken your third eye!

I sleep in such a room every night.

do it when your hungover, its like watching a movie ;)

Since 1954, sensory deprivation chambers have let people have strange hallucinations and out-of-body experiences!

A sensory deprivation tank is a temperature regulated, salt-water filled, soundproof, lightproof tank that can isolate its occupant from numerous forms of sensory input all at once, causing people to experience hallucinations, out of body experiences, and witness-what they claimed were-parallel universes. It sounds like the stuff of the future or of fantasy, but it has been around for a while.

John C. Lilly was the neuroscientist who spearheaded the creation of this tank with a simple question; “What would happen if the mind was deprived of as much external stimulus as possible.” In the original deprivation tank, people were submerged into 160 gallons of water wearing a black-out mask (a latex mask engineered to allow one to breath, but block out any light from one’s eyes). The water and air temperature were kept as the same temperature of one’s skin; roughly 34 degrees Celsius.

The masks were eventually done away with as people found having their heads wrapped with latex to be distracting. Also, people didn’t need to be completely submerged anymore. Water was saturated with 800 pounds of Epsom salt, which made the water so dense that one’s entire body could float at or near its surface.

Inside the tank, there was not even a speck of light. The silence was so intense that people could hear their muscles tense, their heart beat, and their eyelids close. The buoyancy of the water gave the environment an almost zero-gravity quality.

Lilly was one of the first people to try out the tank. He claimed that it allowed him to make contact with creatures from other dimensions and civilizations far more advanced than our own. Lilly’s experience however, is apparently not shared by others who have been in the tank. Mild hallucinations, heightened levels of introspection, and the sensation that the mind has left the body are the more common experiences among users. So what do you think; do our senses help us to perceive reality or do they limit us from exploring its full potential.

its called sensory deprivation you idiot.

the mind will try to entertain itself by coming up with all kinds of crazy shit. It floods itself with imagination producing chems, to create stimuli.

the only "third eye" you have is brown.

Stick a mirror in front of you and things will get even more interesting!

Imagine fasting for three days and using helpers!

IDK if it will work if there is even minute amounts of light entering the room or environment. I also just sat in the corner... no special meditative posture.

This was initially speculation on my part, when I discovered that zero sunlight conditions cause the release of trypatmines... that was of course until I tried this out.

Also I since discovered that people who immerse themselves into sensory deprivation tanks also report the hissing sound, but they did not report seeing the creature I saw. Perhaps they didn't stay immersed in the darkness for long enough.

I absorbed from this experience, that this creature is the bogey man of legend, and the reason why children are especially afraid of the dark because they have strong subconscious recall of being immersed into the darkness with this being... possibly before incarnating here.

It is a terrifying experience.
