Re: On the fence about buying DV glasses for Kasina
The DeepVision glasses have a number of reasons to recommend them.
The biggest assest is that the full color spectrum is available now. Blues, violets and yellows behind closed eyes simply cannot compare. Many scenes that I have wanted to visualize and simulate like blue skies, water, positive sunny yellows, etc just do not work as well when your eyes are closed. You have to use your imagination to fill in the blanks. With DV you can not only simulate these in exquisite jaw dropping color but it also helps with your closed eye visualizations as you learn.
The full realm of color therapy becomes available.
Same thing with patterns: seeing them with open eyes is a breakthrough experience and it makes it even easier to recognize them when your eyes are closed. Some of the details you see at times are paradigm shifting. I will talk much more about this in the future.
One of the most important aspects of the DV glasses are their use in neuro/biofeedback applications. One really wants to use color as feedback for sensor readings. With closed eye color this is not as optimal as it is with open eyes. Even if most of your meditation is with the eyes closed, it is gratifying and helpful to be able to peek or glance at the glasses to check color feedback. You have a much larger range of possibilities.
One more major advantage is that when you are designing sessions you see the colors that are generated directly. No more do you have to put on the glasses and let your eyes adjust to see what colors you are producing with your settings. I have a special display system I used for this but the DV glasses work very well for this purpose and I can also put them on to experience the session during design.
I find the DV glasses to be very stimulating and energizing with the right settings. For brainstorming, creativity, brain brightening and cognitive enhancement - rehabilitation applications, I think this technology will prove to be very useful.
As far as brightness, with the eyes open they are very bright, even at times too dazzling with certain color combinations. Of course you can turn down the brightness. With closed eye use in the past I have pushed brightness to high limits even using multiple light strips in my Etz Chaim glasses. But what I find now is that I was searching for images and colors that I knew were there but are dulled and muted behind closed eyes.
With the DV, I get my fix of all the amazing images and colors I want and then can settle in to closed eye sessions for the 'inner images' and pursue deeper levels of meditation without always 'looking' for something I am missing. DV has proven to me that it was there and I was only seeing a pale shadow. Now I accept both types of experiences for their particular strengths.
Hope this helps,
Scott

If you know something I don't, speak up! If maybe I know something you don't, ask away!
