Hello /sci/, /x/ here.
I am beginner chaos mage.
And I tried to alter my consciousness with the mirror method. Dont take me for words in this sentence, in occult we use many stuff to explain consciousness etc.
Lets say consciousness is perceiving reality in this case.
So I stared at my own eyes in the mirror, and it worked.
My own image started to deform my eyes were jumping on my face and my hair disappeared and appeared.
Can you explain this in scientific terms ? What was my brain doing, and WHY ?
Also the more my consciousness was altered the harder it was to concentrate, my thoughts were jumping everywhere.

The answer is quite simple, you're nuts
Next time try the two glass method
Basically your eyes are programmed to constantly move around and scan the area. Your brain is adapted to this system so when you fight saccades you halucinate, but as it says on the wiki page when saccades begin you cant stop them, that's why your thoughts would race, because you could no longer control a physiological system which you were focusing pretty strongly on.
I cant find the article that describes this but i didn't look very hard.

Sounds like a defect in serotonin 5-HT2A production. You should speak to a neurologist.

>Basically your eyes are programmed to constantly move around and scan the area.
Is this why, when I stare at something irregular but repeating (like grass), after about 10 seconds it starts to look like a regularly repeating texture (as in a videogame)?

no thats probably a tumor

So in what occult book I can read about this?

Liber Null and the Psychonaut.
Really good book, but not easy to understand. Also chaos magick is something like "Go insane" so its pretty dangerous (mainly the second part)

Alien cat people are impersonating humans?

So this book has exercises to make me schizo or is theory only?

Both.
I'm in training to be an ice mage, myself. So far I've only managed to cool a glass of water down to about 25F, but I'm getting better at it.
I've been told that there are certain non-euclidean angles that can be observed with training. Any mathematicians here that can confirm? I want to traverse across forbidden gaps.

All angles in the physical world are non-Euclidean because of curved space. Any angle that you observe will be non-Euclidean.
