1: Entirely possible (see QT). 2: In what sense objectively? Seeing if I can get someone else to replicate it?

One thing I'm always forced to admit when it comes to meditation: I'm a bit of an idiot savant. I can do a lot of things that I don't know how I accomplished, and so it's difficult to explain. All of this stuff is very much accessible, but I can't necessarily show you how.

Curious if your shift in location of "I" simply places you somewhere else in your existing perceptual field, as seen from your physical eyes, or if your perception actually changes. Can you "see" something that your eyes can not see? If so can you verify that perception after?

Think I need some disambiguation of those questions. You say perceptual field, but using the eyes as referent makes it sound like you're talking about the visual field. Are you asking specifically about visual or pseudovisual inputs, or any kind of possible sense impression?

Good point. I am curious as to whether your vantage point actually changes visually. Can you see the back of your head or or an object behind a wall that is not in your visual field. Wondering is you have a kind of localized remote viewing capacity.

Not as yet. I did experience visions and strange occurences like that in conjunction with this practice the last time I did a lot of it. But not in the sense of just literally seeing visual inputs from outside my eyes, no. It was a lot more varied and ephemeral.

What I did experience frequently then, and started experiencing again now, is a sense of brushing up against the energy of people around me. Intrusive thoughts, feelings, sensations like a static charge when passing close to others in the street.

Yeah I also did start seeing demons in hypnogogic states and things like that, having waking precog events instead of just while dreaming. It was... uncomfortable.

Yeah. I've been in therapy and had a very hypermundane framework for my life for a while now. As things have gotten better in my emotional being, some of this stuff has started coming up again, seemingly of its own accord.
