Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone's head, what you are actually doing is telepathy... so far I haven't researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could someone confirm what your experience is when doing the same?

Edit: As someone said in the comments, have you ever seen an image in black and white with a red dot in the center what if you keep your stare fixed for a certain time in it and close and open your eyes rapidly you see the image of JesusChrist? Maybe it is realated to the phenomenon in some way.

If someone try it and notice some result please let me know.

chemical saturation of the neural net activated by a fixed stare? like when you say the same word over and over and it loses all meaning

This. Happens more frequently than you think.

Most noticeable is when you just wake up, and begin to stare through a very bright area (like a window) and then close your eyes again.

The "sillouete" of the window (which is in a very weird color gamut) would appear with your eyelids closed, even if you move your eyes around.

After few seconds of eyes-closed, it disappears.

Let me know if you find any result trying what I say in the main post. I'm wondering if someone experience something relevant with that information.
