    Originally posted by aldra In short: PHOTIC DRIVING is the effect where if lights are strobed at specific frequencies (usually 3-20hz, but higher frequencies have been tried too) in your eyes or against closed eyelids, it'll induce direct brain activity at the same frequency. Medical techs use it to test brain function in people who aren't responsive as well as to calibrate instruments, check for epileptic response and other things.

    What I'm more interested in, though, is the long history of reports of altered states of mind going as far back as the ancient Greeks suggesting that 'trance' states could be achieved through staring at torches flickering at certain rates. I'll post some articles and reports and stuff later, more just interested in the project than the theory at the moment.

    [

    Basically just an Arduino Ethernet (ATMEGA 328) with a screw terminal breakout board to make connections easier and an LCD display/button panel (link)on top. I've connected two RGB LEDs and tied them to a pair of swimming goggles (I'll make the surfaces semi-opaque later, maybe with paper or contact or maybe white paint).

    BEcause of the GPIOs the LCD panel needs to function I had to wire the two RGB LEDs to D0,D1,D2 and D11,D12,D13. You cannot program an Arduino board via USB while pins D0 or D1 are in use, apparently, so to update the code I need to unplug those connectors, then plug them back in once the programming's done.

    All this does is flicker the LEDs at a specific rate, and you can use the buttons on the panel to either disable or enable the lights, or to adjust the flicker rate up or down without having to re-deploy or use a serial line or something.

    Code in next post.

    and the hyperbolic/baric/ floaty floaty chambers of Transcendental Meditation and remote viewing.

    I used this set to something like 5hz while listening to the GATEWAY tapes (https://www.thegatewayexperience.com/hemi-sync/) and lost half an hour, I blacked out and can't remember any of it

    This is shit that a lady friend I had (MILF) in my 20s and her late 30s woudl talk about. Transcendental Meditation. Astro-Projection. She was hella cool. talented too. cute. Lovely body.

    anyways I got such a bad sense of dying when I felt leaving my body and it happened in seconds but the fear was like that of your early childhood days. massively intense and crippling like.

    she told me that's normal the first few times. but I was weirded out by it. I was into Witch-craft at a very young age and this may have cursed my life for "Fucking around and found out"

    this is not the same but shares parallel like outcomes.

    The Planet is said to be on vibration of 12-20hz. and humans are close to that. finding the same frequenzy yet cant remain holding this frequency in nature to rest. it's too dynamic and processors can lock in and maintain frequencies that humans have a hard time doing.

    telepathic and remote viewing is possible but not truly dependable for consistency in continuity and false output probably will outnumber true yet may still be above the odds of probability it was coincidents.

    I'm not far enough along for that but I don't really have a problem with snapping my mind in half

    this is your conditioned life as an adult. you're dealing with primordial instinctive fears most adults start to damper over time.

    have you ever suffered from a serious and crippling form of fear before? like you wake up but sense something purely evil and frightening is waiting for you to open your eyes and face it? and you couldn't speak or had the courage to open them. even if you have dared to confront death or potential death from a fight, a challenge of some type or whatever made you feel fearless. this is something that just hits you. the kind of fear that might make you even piss yourself. revert back to your childhood where everything was new senses. you could have an awesome and happy experience but often the first accention comes with a sense of death or not being able to come back to your body.

    don't try and find out. just don't fuck around with it. but if you chose to do so. FILM THAT SHIT!

    That is what bad trips are for and you should be experiencing them regularly.

    There is no secret too dark, and if it is you can always turn on a light
    This should be activity of daily life, it's not something you can film for your sick police games like running around wearing a diaper??

    and videotape yourself running down the street in a shitty adult diaper. SHITTY

    Anyone ever had a feeling like you cant wake up and an extreme fear comes over you then you like have to like idk how to explain it but..force yourself awake? Then a wave of relief comes over you that your not dead/stuck in sleep mode? Idk its weird as fuxk and i guess its 'sleep paralysis' or whatever?


    Nice post btw aldra, subbed.

    I've never had sleep paralysis, I think I've hit the hypnagogic state a few times but I'm not able to do it intentionally.


    my girlfriend used to get sleep paralysis from time to time, always told me she felt her dead aunt's presence when it was happening. I think at some point the typical fear you get from sleep paralysis was overtaken by frustration that her aunt wouldn't knock it off and as far as I know she hasn't had it since

    Yah it hasnt happened to me in a long time and i think it happens when im like over stressed and worried about something. Things have been going pretty swell lately so maybe thats why i havent had that in a long time.

    I hope you can figure out how to induce extreme states of fear and sexual desire. Like a controlled rape fantasy.

    I was using that to strip wires because my wire stripper is a piece of shit

    im sure you also need an ar-15 to properly strip wires.
