5.4 Eye contact with focus in the eye and ‘seeingness’
Let us begin with the first two parts of our triple process of
vision, which will be described in full in section 5.13.
Sit with your back straight, in front of a friend or a mirror,
according to the principles described in section 5.2.
Before starting, spend 3 minutes with your eyes closed doing a
reconnection as in section 5.3.
Then open your eyes. Direct your gaze at your friend's eyes or at
your own if practising in front of a mirror.
Part 1: motionless focus in the eye
Become aware in the eye, between the eyebrows, and remain
extremely still. Work at reaching a motionlessness that is more
than a sheer absence of movement. By being focussed in the eye,
everything becomes still inside yourself, as if your energy was
coagulating. You can feel yourself becoming denser.
The stillness of eye contact is a ‘connected stillness’, in which you
can feel the energy of your eye resonating with the vibration all
over your body. Hence the feeling of higher density or higher
frequency experienced in your body.
Once you reach the climax of stillness, you get the feeling that
even if you wanted to move, you could not. Indeed, if you really
wanted to, you could. But to do this you would first have to get
out of the experience.
Throughout the book, whenever the expression ‘the eye’ is used, it
refers to the area between the eyebrows. But be careful that by
‘focussing between the eyebrows’, it is only meant that you should
remain aware of that area. It is not meant that you should direct
your eyeballs as if trying to look in between your two eyebrows.
The eyes are not directed anywhere in particular, and actually the
more you can forget about them the better. This applies to the
third eye meditation (Chapter 3), in which the eyes are kept
closed, as well as to the exercises of eye contact.
Part 2: awareness of ‘seeingness’
(Part 1 and part 2 are to be implemented simultaneously.)
Here comes a big secret of the seers, which can create major
openings of perception. Usually when you direct your attention to
an object with your eyes open, you look at the image and its
different parts. And then the various elements are processed by
your conscious mind. Some techniques aimed at developing mental
