Hello adg12012, I’ll try to answer a few of your questions.
- Yes it is normal that your body goes numb.
- The swirls are just about the first stage of the HI, so they are actually part of it!
- HI looks at the start like a movie (just watching, not in it), but after a while depending on how detailed they become you can also “step into them”, which can cause you to be in the picture.
- When you are IN the picture, you’re in a dream. So the trick is to get more detailed HI and interact with it.
You should also read the topic on WILDing and phosphenes since it is closely related: https://community.ld4all.com/t/wilding-with-phosphenes/13131
Good luck with it!
