Can you describe the exact procedure so I may try it? I’d like to experiment. Thank you!

Apart from self-persuasion that you’re doing something esoteric, it’s just looking at your mirror image with a relaxed gaze (as in looking far away-ish) but focused around some fixed point. You can replace a mirror with a buddy. Distance 0.3-1m face to face, depending on your comfort zone. Few minutes, but may appear sooner. Multiple phases, you can get stuck in one face but then suddenly go further. Once you see a new face, you can carefully examine it, but try not to disrupt this semi-trance by quick movements. Esoterics-wise you should feel like you’re pulled “back” in your skull (not visually). The further you go back, the more ancient incarnation you see. The limit is your first ever appearance. Great mages have thousands of faces, some of them non-human, extinct races. If you don’t see anything, you were just born, cough loser. Upd: just tested it with my phone screen turned off. Whew… same emotions as 20 years ago. Black tint definitely adds to the effect, and it’s quick!

  So you’re supposed to do it through a reflection though? I’m confused because you say straight on also works? I thought it was through another mirror or peripheral vision? I definitely can “stare into nothingness” and what happens is usually a black pulsing blob or maybe very dark blue takes over my vision like a vortex. Weird, I know but never any faces although I’ve only ever looked at my shower wall or bathroom scenery.

    Yes, you have to look straight face to face. Not at a peripheral reflection. The face you’re looking at starts changing. It happens with jumps: first it may become a blob / smeared / blurry, but then suddenly focuses and now you’re looking at a stranger or something non-human. what did you do exactly with your phone? Looked into it for maybe a minute or even less, the screen contained reflection of my upper head - hair, eyes, nose (held it landscape). Blackness got over it first, tossing itself around, but then, and I guess that’s where our face detection kicks in, eyes started to sharpen in and other details. Wasn’t mine and in a black reflection it’s much more eerie than in a regular mirror. Really reminds these christian horrors. If I were medieval, I’d run away and pray for a week. It was angry-featured, with a confident piercing gaze and strange old-or-weathered skin. I know from the past that if you don’t quit, it will sharpen into an ideal no-blur no-tricks face and then later happen again and again but with more pauses between new faces. And they get stranger. Last time I did it with my buddy, I was looking at a man-snake at the end.

      Question : are you focusing your eyes and keeping what’s on the iPhone surface in focus and sharp or are you letting your vision blur kind of like stereoscopic images that turn 2d into 3d? I really want to pull this off lol. Thanks.

  Makes you the think what the black mirrors were for back then! Haha, what did you do exactly with your phone? How long did it take?
