Is this Good afternoon, Mark; I will just add a couple of personal comments. About 22 years ago, when I was 27 years old I performed an exercise of drawing an imaginary Caballa on top of my head, and I energized/activated it by focusing through intense meditation an energy going from each sephirot through the path and to the next sephirot, from Kether to Malkuth. The immediate result of this was twofold; 1) I had the etheric layer visually available to my physical eye sight, and 2) I have high ringing sounds in each ear, one side is normal to flat, and the other side is normal to sharp in notes. The etheric fabric that I saw is sort of like a window screen, made up of a criss-cross pattern, though the mesh/screen matrix is much finer in size, the criss-cross sections themselves, though it encompases my entire field of vision. I see molecules swiming, and some lighting up/sparking. At that time, back then, I had just engulfed myself into three years of intense pranayama breathing exercies in yoga, and was studying intensely Buddhism and Chackras initiation, as well as the I-Ching (for an attunement to seasonal changes of life cycles), and topped by a continual "intellectual only" daily review of the Caballa and the Sephir Yetzirah. After the caballa experience I suddenly stopped all internal spiritual exercises (plus becomming a christian then). In July of this year after having read a lot of the online Bardon content available I began the IIH, internally, in the inner workshop. What I have found is that the visual experience has been enhanced and it has been toned down. What I mean by that is that the constant viewing or observing of the etheric layer in front of my eyes has subsided. I am constantly aware of my equilibrium and "any" sort of inbalance internally, negative or positive and I strive to "balance" it, (you will see that this becomes just a natural reaction within yourself). The enhancement to the visual phenomena is that I can see "through" my eyelids at night in the dark and see my hand quite well, and it's movements in front of my face. Also I am experiencing the difference between mental and astral body visioning. I think that the akasha/akasa is could be visualized as two discs in front of your face. One disc is at your nose, the lower disc, and the higher disk is at your eyebrows. So one disc below and above your eyes/vision. And each disk contains a moving river. Any thought or emoted energy from any of your senses or spirit or soul causes an impression to be made in the liquid of akasa traveling by you. You see swirls occur in the akasa, either in the future or the past. I intuit at this point that you can bypass the akasa entirely by focusing between the upper and lower moving rivers of akasa and meditating and emoting at that point. Just some thoughts. Perhaps you will experience these transitions also. Different folks experience different results. >From the 3 years of intense practice of spiritual exercises 20 years ago I had gained the abilities; 1) to read peoples thoughts/emotions 3/10ths of a second before their body expressed anything, 2) the ability to feel hot/cold eminating from a person's body which I used to great benefit as I massaged people non-professionally and healed many of muscular/tendon/fluidic imbalances and pains, 3) I could blank myself and read anyone's internal system, it's shape and form and energy content in the 6 chackra nexus'. With these abilities I was more than happy and busy with the constant giving without receiving any payment. Too busy to wonder and worry about the ringing in my ears and the constant observing of the etheric swimming matrix of molecules and mesh to bother much about it. But since I am now on this path and working again in the inner workshop and since you've mentioned it, it just brought back to memory these few thoughts. I wish you well, Chuck
