All the experiences got stronger and stronger with each day in the dark. JC: Did that sensation intensify in the following days at all?ĭr. It was a whitish/grayish light that radiated about a foot from the edge of the bed and chair. I think it was a few days into the retreat that I began to see a fuzzy glow of light around the objects. Chan: It was a gradual onset, so I don’t remember exactly when it started. Chan experienced the sensations of being able to see outlines of objects such as chairs and the bed in her room.ĭr. There is absolutely no light exposure during the process. This process consisted of being in an environment of complete darkness for 9 days and 9 nights with one day of integration prior and post. The retreat was led by a senior meditation teacher from Australia named Jasmuheen. Edith Ubuntu Chan underwent an 11-day experience in Thailand known as a “Dark Room Retreat”. What type of visual effects would take place from exposing a person to complete darkness for 4 hours? 40 hours? 140 hours? Is it that outlandish to presume that changes in the environment can correlate with changes in biochemical/electrical properties of the brain and anatomical changes to the eyes which coincide with visual spectrum enhancement or compression? I speculate that if the experiment cited above were conducted without the 2 hours of exposure to darkness and without the environment of complete blackout during the visual measurement process, the person’s ability to perceive this IR range would be succinctly altered. Remember? Darkness = EEG alterations = Slow wave amplification = Increase in melatonin production? In this study, the participants were exposed to 2 hours of darkness prior to the experiment and during the experiment were in an environment of complete blackout for 20 minutes. This finding appears to provide evidence that humans innately have a 75% wider visual spectrum (390 nm to 1000 nm+) than the accepted standard of 390 nm to 700 nm. A 2014 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences would observe the mechanisms with which humans can visually perceive the infrared spectrum above the 1000 nm infrared range. We must remain cognizant that during average waking consciousness, the average person secretes very little melatonin while exuding a dominant brain wave known as Beta (on average). Melatonin’s seeming affinity/interaction with the infrared spectrum is interesting based on the fact that there lies the possibility that increased levels of this hormone in the brain might allow for visual acuity above the 700 nm level. A 2003 study in the Journal of Pineal Research would observe that melatonin modulates the light spectrum action of cell adhesion significantly in the infrared region (760-840 nm). The study found that there was a marked increase of both sleep quality and melatonin levels from exposure to this spectrum. In 2012, the Journal of Athletic Training would publish a study regarding the effect of 30 minutes of red light spectrum exposure on sleep quality and melatonin secretion. The results concluded that blue light suppressed melatonin while red light had no negative effect.

In 2010, the International Journal of Endocrinology would publish a study comparing the effects of blue light and red light on the generation of melatonin. There have been numerous studies showcasing the antagonistic effects of blue light exposure in regards to melatonin production. Whether this could provide additional framework for capturing “entities” will be discussed later in this piece.) A 2016 study published in the French Journal of Opthalmology observed significant changes in eye lens thickness based on the inducement of pupil dilation with tropicamide 1%. An interesting study within this specific field would be in regards to measuring changes in the eye lens of a person during endogenously induced altered states of consciousness as well as from exogenous substances. This could provide supporting evidence for the notion that young children have the ability to see within the UV spectrum based on a thinner lens structure. It was verified that the thickness of the lens capsule increased with age. In 2006, the journal Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science published a study observing humans lens capsule thickness as a function of age. This lens normally filters out UV rays from the visual spectrum.

(It’s been noted that humans who have experienced Aphakia, the absence of the lens on the eye, have reported the ability to see UV wavelengths. We will also speculate on the type of camera design necessary to effectively capture these hypothetical parallel layers of reality. In this second part, we will continue to discuss some of the endogenous components of the human body that seemingly have affinity for different light spectrums as well as the implications of this.
