I’m just not sure whether or not some of the things I see were always there, and I just didn’t notice, or just didn’t care.
Like, for example, blurred after images (“trails”) when I wave my hands around.
I see them all the time. I’m just not sure they are new. I suspect I experienced that visual effect prior to doing psychedelics, then when on psychedelics they looked really cool and “trippy” and now I’m just conscious of it as a result of that.
Or else permanent low grade hallucinations.
But it really doesn’t seem so.
I see patterns in the dark visual space that occurs when my eyes are closed. Pretty sure everyone will see something - subtle colors, moving shapes, etc if they stare at the backs of their eyelids for a bit. But you don’t really notice unless you deliberately pay attention to it while meditating, or while on some drug, or even feverish, or go into or out of sleep, or whatever.
I wonder if it’s all just a matter of taking common and inevitable visual distortions a little too seriously.
