heh, i was looking at an image of one of the chakras(the symbol for it, I mean), and my eyes de-focused, and the circle split, and a vesica piscis formed.
I began to wonder about whether the vesica piscis might be some symbol about an unfocused gaze, a sort of trance state(at least one interpretation of it). And I had already been pondering the centerpiece of the vesica(the ichthus of xians) as a symbol of the ajna chakra/third eye...
The third eye as some overlap of defocused gaze of the two eyes, each eye, of course, representing one aspect of the duality, the ida/pingala or yin/yang, shiva/shakti, etc, science/religion, the third eye/intersection-fish of the vesica piscis thus being the synthesis of the two aspects, overlapped when one removes the dogmatic gaze favoring one over the other.
So I do a search for "vesica piscis visual focus" and, what came up but this site: IUMA:keymyek, which contains tracks from
keymyek
Wondrous how the world works.

i have seen a vesica piscis in certain modes of focus.
kind of a trance, sort of crossed-eyed focus..
ahh, there have also been a few moments..in a certain focus-- trying to seperate my left/right hemispheres... directing energy in opposite ways...looking at the energy... where a sphere forms..and the flowing energy swirls around each other in distinct hues (green and red for me) and form into a yin yang (!!!!!)
i would call this the zen focus.. and it would sort of lock me into a circuit.. a constant flow..usually the right side pulling in(green), the left side projecting outward (red/violet). after maybe 10 minutes of intense concentration and focus, i would feel myself "snap" into place...then amazing things would start to happen.. i would become able to access not only any of my memories (and view them in hologram form, from any perspective), but i could also access other people's memories.. but i am not sure if i was accessing memories, or maybe the actual events themselves.. somehow collecting or retrieveing information from the light reflected during certain chosen moments. or maybe i am crazy. :/
i meant to mention this to you before..
while i was in san francisco -- i think it was the night of july 5th, i had a dream about you. well, you made a brief appearance.
for some reason, i had recorded a song into a basketball (dont ask me how), but it was a basketball with buttons on it, and you could record sounds into it, and play them back... i was in k-mart, listening to the song..when you came around the corner, pushing a shopping cart..with tony sitting inside it.
heh. there wasnt really anything significant about the dream..you were just wondering what the hell i was doing.
funny though, because basketballs have lines on them that intersect similar to the vesica piscis. maybe that is reaching a little. :)
hope you are doing well dave.
take care.
