The Link Between Visual Static, Phosphenes and Energy

[Sagittarius]

To be clear, a small spiral forms in the center of my focus only. The area is denser in light than its surroundings. It also tends to be quite instable and spin all over the place like a spinning top. It looks a bit like a galaxy though, because it tends to stretch further out.

Yeh I have seen very similar. When your not focused on the phosphenes they dissapear from your surrounding vision and in that intermediate stage of focus your sub-conscious creates patterns and symbols drawn onto the phosphenes wherever your narrower focus of vision is.

I think that is how people hallucinate, the detail and believability of these images people can see can be pretty much picture perfect and would be hard to tell it was a hallucination. There are numerous cognitive processes that affect this the most significant being dopamine.

I have seen a multitude of symbols images and scenes both open and eyes closed. I think that is the best explanation so far, at least for how this happens through the physical body.
