I just had an experience of a kind that I have never ever had before!
I just had a spontaneous image of internal organs in a way that they have never manifested before! At first I was surprised and had to think for a while before I realized what it was!
I was lying in bed and just woke up from a nap. I was just thinking various things to myself, about schoolwork, and the upcoming Preliminary. I've been eating raw uncooked oats, and ever since, I've had bit of a tummy ache. So I was lying in bed, and felt a cramp from my intestine. But what happened next is amazing.
A section of the small intestine shifted all together as part of the cramp, and all of a sudden, an image emerged from my abdomen, made up of little pixels of tiny light vibrations. The image floated above the abdomen and I was seeing it as a vision in my mind but with a sense of location to it of it being above the abdomen and not in my head.
I have never ever before had a medical perception in this manner. In the past, I have the perceptions and I am awake and my mind is concentrated. Medical perceptions either appear on their own when there is some health information that is significant or feels strongly, but then it has always been different from this. Or, I can choose to look into someone and form the images.
This time was different, because I was observing the process in a way unlike anything before. At first when the image appeared, my mind was occupied with my own thoughts and this one was not part of my own thoughts and the experience truly was as if this information was something coming to me from outside of myself. Kind of like if someone shines a light on your face, you feel it and you see it, but you know it isn’t coming
from your head. Since I was still sleepy, it took me a few seconds to figure out what that image was. I was seeing an about seven inch long section of the small intestine. The color was interesting, kind of a gray brown on the outer surface, and with an orange pink on the inside. I think this experience was different because I was as relaxed as I was.
This was a very interesting experience, to me, because the perception depicted something from my own body and not from someone else. And because I was resting and not even looking
with my eyes on a person. My eyes were up to the ceiling and not even focused on the ceiling but on my thoughts, so this was a perception without me looking at the body
at all. And it was interesting how I felt and saw the image come to life and enter my mind.
Usually, I have been feeling patterns of vibration that form an image in my mind, and even when the perceptions are spontaneous rather than something I search for, I have had the image based on feeling strands or sections across it. Let me try to explain how I feel those strands or sections of information.
Imagine what is called a scalar field. A scalar field is simply a mapping out of various points in space that each have their own magnitude, or extent, of something. One example of a scalar field is a temperature range map, that shows in color how the temperature varies across space. A warm color is depicted as red, and the coldest is blue, and then you have all the other colors and temperatures ranging in between. Here is a scalar field that illustrates the temperature variations across the United States in terms of color,

Another example of a scalar field is a topography map that illustrates the changes in altitude across a landscape. The direction of circles and lines, and the density of how many lines are close to one another, illustrate the shape of the landscape and the altitude variations. Here is an example of such a topography scalar field map

A scalar quantity is something with simply a magnitude, or extent, to distinguish it from vector quantities that are also directed somewhere, or going somewhere. Scalar quantities for instance temperature and altitude, those numbers stay in place. Vector quantities such as velocity, acceleration, force, displacement, have magnitudes but are also pointing in a direction. By looking at a scalar field map, you get an idea of for instance what the three-dimensional mountain landscape looks like.
Calculus uses something called
the gradient in order to process the information that is contained in a scalar field. When you compute the gradient of a scalar field, you are calculating the direction of the greatest increase across the many individual point-values. For the temperature map, the gradient would find you the place that goes from the coldest to the warmest temperature in the shortest amount of distance travelled, and on the mountain landscape you would find the steepest slope where the altitude goes up the most in the shortest amount of horizontal displacement on the map.
A math professor once told us something briefly about how it is thought that insects navigate by performing gradient calculations to make choices about which directions to go to that have preferable conditions.
Humans can certainly "feel" gradients in many types of situations. You can feel temperature in your surrounding and feel what direction the most heat is coming from. It is like being able to compare all the various individual bits of input information and to quickly decide on where the ones of greatest extent are coming from, and to map out the variation as a landscape.
When I perceive "landscapes of vibrational information", it is like a three-dimensional scalar field. Each tiny point, or pixel, that make it, has its own quantities. And this is a lot of information to process. Luckily, I automatically feel something across those landscapes that is similar to gradients. That is how, a large amount of pixels group together into field lines and sections. Pixels group together into tiny particles and vibration, those group together into atoms, those into molecules, those into larger structures in the body, those into cells, those into tissue, those into organs. Vibrational substance that is structurally connected, comes together, and makes composite sections and groups.
The construction of a medical perception goes through many levels to get from a vibrational feeling into an image. The finished product is an image with also felt information, and the beginning is the vibrational information. If I am walking past someone and they happen to have a significant health problem, the finished image will jump into my head all at once and on its own. And if I am choosing to feel into someone to search for information and images, it starts as a vibrational landscape consisting of gradient-like sections that build up into the image. But this time, lying in my bed, it begun at a more fundamental stage than I had ever experienced before. It begun as tiny little light pixels that were swirling and I experienced the rendering of the image in a brand new way.
Most importantly, I was not even looking at a human body, and my thoughts were occupied on whole other things.
This is promising before my Preliminary. And here I had been trying to let some of your comments get to me, and had been critically questioning myself as to whether any of this really is true, but this came as a convenient reminder that something strange really
is going on! I for one can't wait to see what happens at the Preliminary!
