It's a bit like with these older pictures, 3D pöuzzles that were en vogue some years ago - you had a pixel mass, but whehn looking at it in a certain semi-focussed yet relaxed state of mind, you suddenly saw a fully and true 3dimensional form/figure in it.

I personally believe there is a link between this state of mind, and certain introductory pahses of meditation, or the trance-like state of mind clairvoyants are entering to "see" in their crystal balls, pans, or whatever they use.

You also experience it sometimes when looking into a shallow water, the sky reflected on the surface, but the ground still present in you sight - effectively you have two image levels, or two images in one. This is confusing to your eye, or better: your brain, and helps it to jump pf the usual track, if only for seconds. When your view is stripped off normal visual clues that help you to estimate relations, dimensions and distances, and it feels as if your eyes are diving/falling into a void, then this also falls into this category of phenomenons that one could call self-induced trance. No matter if crystal orbs or a reflöective surface, all this are tools only to hel clearvoyants to enter this trance-like state of mind. It's their mind where they may see images, not the orb.

I would say that most of not all people have the ability or potential to be able to see like this, some more, some less. Where people differ is the degree to which they can let go prejudices and open themselves to give it a fair and unbiased try. Speaking of experience!

I also see a strong link between thinking, imagination on the one hand, and eye sight on the other. Even more, good readers of body language and NLP therapists can make conculsions on the quality of what you currently think of, by observing your eye'S movement, if you look left, or up, or stare.
