The Altered State of Meditation According to Maharshi Mehi and Sant Tulsi Sahib (Light and Sound on The Path - Sant Mat Blog): https://SantMatRadhasoami.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-altered-state-of-meditation.html

I can see why people didn’t like Beyond the Black Rainbow but it spoke to me of psychonaut John Lilly and the world my head inhabited in the late 80s. That of course links it with Altered States and the works of Ken Russell, although Cosmatos and Russell are very different… John Lilly characteristically liked Altered States despite or perhaps because of its absurdity. And Barry’s bad trip did remind me of something after all… #AlteredStates #LSD #BeyondTheBlackRainbow #KenRussell #PanosCosmatos #JohnLilly #horrormovies

After some exchange (https://urusai.social/@nazokiyoubinbou/113271946360570675) I thought I should check if it's possible to open eyes during half-conscious #SleepParalysis (I have eyes closed and was surprised many people have open). And finally had an opportunity to do it.

So... it was as hard as trying to move any other body part. It required an effort to open one eye. Somehow I closed it again later. So even if eyeballs are not "turned off", eyelids seemingly are.

I also wondered if I open eyes, I would have hallucinations - normally I only hear things, have chaotic thought train and feel like floating in the air/vacuum. For brief moment after opening one eye, I saw something like cartoon character with blonde hair and pale pink clothes on the wall background but it disappeared quickly. Nothing later. Not really impressive.

Probably someone did similar experiments in more scientific way :blobcatjoy:
